If anything happens, contact me—I’ll do everything I can to help. But next time you see me, I may no longer be at Base Eight; I might head to the Earth Defense Line.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because the war has escalated?” Li Yi’s expression shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After last time they were made to suffer by the Immortal Immortal Continent and the Demon God Realm, the enemy sought revenge by expanding the battlefield and increasing troop numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Partly because of that, but more importantly, I can’t stand idly by while my old friends fight bloody battles on the Earth Defense Line while I train safely inside Base Eight,” Su Mu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Yi paused, then offered a crimson-gold divine sword: “Since you’re going to the battlefield, I have nothing better to give you—take this weapon. I hope you kill many enemies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu looked at Li Yi, hesitated not at all, and accepted it immediately: “Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, what happened to the experts I brought to Base Eight last time?” Li Yi asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mu said, “Those experts who crossed over from other realms are impressive. At first, they focused on restoring their cultivation, but once their strength improved, they gradually left Base Eight to train in the wild—sometimes hunting transcendent creatures, sometimes slaying demonic beasts and cultivators. I asked one of them; that Daoist said their power had not yet fully returned to peak, and they still needed training and cultivation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And because of them, the area around Base Eight has become very safe—almost no danger remains.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi nodded slightly: “Good. Once they’ve fully restored to peak, they’ll be able to fight great demons and qualify for the battlefield—but it’s still too early. I’ll make other arrangements later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mentally estimated the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few months had passed since the End-Dharma Cultivation World crossed over; this was insufficient time for them to regain peak strength, since most of these cultivators were only at the One-Petal or Two-Petal realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were getting close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet when it came to peak cultivation power, Li Yi still looked forward most to the several Immortal Nuns of the Heavenly Dao Sect; after all, they were cultivation geniuses and powerful figures from major sects, now refining in the Incense-Deity World, and once they reached Great Perfection, they could rival Demon Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I add those cultivators from the Savage Wilds’ Crimson Gold Mountain, along with the vast number of Crimson Gold Dao Artifacts forged by the Heavenly Artisan Daoist, I’ll possess an extremely terrifying elite combat force.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Li Yi felt deep anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to command these people, he must further enhance his own strength—at least fully cultivate his Primordial Spirit Manifestation, and if possible, he wanted to try comprehending the flesh-bodied Bodhisattva statue from the Fan Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>See if he could attain Heavenly Dragon Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m off. Until next time,” Li Yi said, having clarified his path, and immediately departed, leaving Base Eight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Master Yulian still followed closely, chanting sacred sutras without pause, persistently trying to convert Li Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi boarded the Daoist Warship again: “Hongji, head to the coordinates.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave the coordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the coordinates Li Yugang from Base Eight had once given him; reportedly, a peculiar place existed there with a different time flow rate—he wanted to see if he could use this strange land to accelerate his cultivation while waiting for World 36’s coordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Coordinates recorded. Altering flight trajectory,” the AI Hongji’s voice sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Daoist Warship pierced the sky, moving at astonishing speed—faster than most cultivators’ flight auras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey remained relatively safe, with no attacks, but as they passed several locations, Li Yi sensed spiritual senses scanning him—these cultivators were not weak, some at Tribulation Crossing or Mahayana realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet due to the Divine Treasure Crimson Lotus, Li Yi remained undetected; they only noticed Master Yulian chanting inside the warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But an unknown woman of unclear strength made these cultivators hesitate to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi, needing to conceal his whereabouts, also refrained from attacking them; otherwise, he would have destroyed countless cultivator outposts along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi’s Daoist Warship arrived at the coordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrain here bore no resemblance to Earth—thousand-meter-tall ancient trees towered into the clouds; strange flowers and plants exuded a primal, ancient aura; terrifying energy permeated everywhere; massive transcendent creatures lurked within the mountains and forests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, the ground held remnants of ancient structures; some still emitted residual power, floating midair, entwined by vines that connected and formed a strange land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place is indeed peculiar,” Li Yi scanned it, his mind alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Li Yugang had previously said the time flow here was chaotic, and the environment had been warped by varying time rates, so the lifeforms growing here were all extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, under rapid time passage, weaker transcendent creatures had turned to dust; plants unable to evolve had withered and died; only those enduring the erosion of time could survive here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that usually meant power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, I’m not the only one who’s come here—other evolvers and cultivators have visited,” Li Yi observed from within the Daoist Warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw a skeleton preserved on a floating mountain mass; its clothing, though worn by time, had not yet fully turned to ash—he could tell it belonged to an Earth evolver. Clearly, the man had sought to use this place’s uniqueness for cultivation, but could not withstand the force of time and died outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi stepped out of the Daoist Warship and said: “Mark the location where Li Yugang once trained.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrain had changed drastically; his previous description alone could not pinpoint the exact spot—he needed precise targeting to locate the general area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Marking now,” responded the AI Hongji inside the warship, then a beam of light shot forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A floating fragment of rock was marked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fragments were not stationary—they shifted position rapidly through the air, like a Mahayana cultivator teleporting, indicating that time flowed extremely fast in that region, causing this strange phenomenon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That area,” Li Yi observed, confirmed it, and retracted the Daoist Warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for safety, he still took out a special elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This elixir contained surging life force; swallowing it would instantly extend one’s lifespan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Elixir of Immortality obtained from the Crimson Gold Mountain in the Savage Wilds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wonder born of Heaven and Earth’s creation—beyond human crafting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Li Yi, at his current realm and strength, had no shortage of lifespan—even without testing with a Life Disc, he knew he could live for thousands of years easily—he still deemed caution wise when facing this unstable time-flow locale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t take it yet. If things turn bad, swallow it immediately,” Li Yi thought silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After preparing, he stepped into this strange land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will Master Yulian come too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the woman beside him: “The environment here is unusual. I plan to train here for a while, and it’s dangerous—if possible, Master Yulian should remain outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Yulian said nothing, only continued chanting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Yi ceased urging and walked forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was cautious, observing anomalies around him, while his evolver soul continuously warned him—this place teemed with threats capable of ending his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the cultivation benefits here were too significant; despite the dangers, many evolvers risked entering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Li Yi took one step forward, his expression changed—he saw the nanometal-tech pants he wore decaying and weathering at an alarming rate; even his flesh was withering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this small area contained immense temporal power; merely one step had aged one of his legs as if centuries had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yi quickly pulled back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His withered flesh rapidly recovered under the nourishment of his blood and qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incredible time flow,” he thought, deeply shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet although his leg had suffered temporal erosion, after recovery, it became even stronger—ancient bloodline power was awakened, and he even sensed the presence of several acupoints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without deliberate cultivation, merely through time’s nurturing, this body could unlock unimaginable strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the power of the Divine Blood Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the temporal force here was too terrifying to train in; once trapped, survival was unlikely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He avoided it and continued forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Li Yi was even more cautious, slowing his pace, and carefully memorized his route, leaving a trail of footprints for future return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Li Yugang’s group came here and only he survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Navigating this place truly required sacrifice to find a suitable training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with precise coordinates, Li Yi was this cautious—if one knew nothing, one would easily perish here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The temporal forces scattered here are unfathomable, imperceptible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried sensing this power—but failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time was the most unfathomable thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1546,"2026-06-20T01:27:08.613Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c0a9627fb1796c0032f4a74dd7726196f42db8eb9a8ce139006dbca603711c33","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-823","after-the-sky-fell-chapter-821",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-sky-fell-cover.jpg"]
