Chapter 832: The Great Perfection of the Dharma-Ending Age
Although Li Yi had obtained many unknown secrets from the remnant soul of Hua Qing, he did not let it disturb his Dao heart; instead, he felt an inexplicable sense of crisis after receiving this information.
However, watching the blade coin continue to devour cosmic energy frantically, Li Yi felt it necessary to transfer it somewhere else.
At the very least, the spiritual energy of Tianchang City could not satisfy its recovery needs.
After all, Tianchang City had finally established a grand array, and the accumulated cosmic energy was meant for the cultivation of Daoists and evolvers; it would be a pity to use it to feed the blade coin.
Moreover, Li Yi was not very willing to nourish the blade coin with polluted cosmic energy, lest some unforeseen changes occur one day.
"I still have to make a trip back to the Savage World; only the spiritual energy there can satisfy the blade coin's needs, and it is relatively safe," Li Yi thought to himself.
Now that he had an Immortal Dao warship for cross-dimensional travel, it was convenient, and a round trip would not take much time.
But just at this moment.
Suddenly.
A crane condensed from magic power flew over from the direction of the Dao Court, seemingly carrying some important information.
"Hmm?"
Li Yi, who was about to leave, immediately felt a trace of ominous premonition upon seeing this crane.
As the crane approached, it turned into a beam of light and landed in Li Yi's hand, after which he received the message on it.
"A distress signal from Xuan Yuezi? How is this possible? Before this, Xuan Yuezi was at the Dao Court. Wait, no—she should have crossed over to the Dharma-Ending Daoist World by now. Is this message from the Dharma-Ending Daoist World?"
Li Yi frowned, even more puzzled.
The Dharma-Ending Daoist World had exhausted spiritual energy and had fallen into the mundane; even the cultivation bases of Great Perfection experts were nearly depleted, with no magic power left. In such a world, how could someone with Xuan Yuezi's Great Perfection cultivation base possibly encounter trouble requiring reinforcements?
She alone could crush that entire world.
But it was precisely because it was so unreasonable that Li Yi took it very seriously; after all, where there is an anomaly, there is a demon.
"I'll go to the Dharma-Ending Daoist World to take a look. If there's no problem, I'll cross over to the Savage World afterward. In case Xuan Yuezi is truly in trouble, I can resolve it," Li Yi immediately boarded the Immortal Dao warship.
"Hong Ji, start the warship, prepare for cross-dimensional travel." As soon as he gave the order.
The Immortal Dao warship erupted with energy, its various arrays operating, and it instantly turned into a stream of light that rushed toward the sky. Before it had flown far, the warship's main cannon suddenly fired a beam forward, forcefully tearing through the void and opening a cross-dimensional gate.
The Immortal Dao warship instantly drilled into it and disappeared into the sky, and as it vanished, the cross-dimensional gate closed immediately, as if nothing had happened just now.
With the sixth-generation AI Hong Ji combined with the art of cultivation and artifact refining, and modified by Master Tiangong, this Immortal Dao warship was truly perfect—capable of crossing dimensions, attacking, and defending, and it contained a vast space within, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people without any problem.
The next moment.
The Immortal Dao warship arrived above the Dharma-Ending Daoist World.
Without waiting for Li Yi to speak, the warship's sensing array and radar activated, immediately beginning to scan this world.
"Master, a strong cosmic energy fluctuation has been sensed 1,300 kilometers away," Hong Ji's voice rang out.
"Go take a look," Li Yi said.
This was truly ghostly; where would such strong energy fluctuations come from in the Dharma-Ending Daoist World?
The Immortal Dao warship immediately turned into a stream of light, skimming across the firmament, flying toward the direction of the energy fluctuations at high speed. As the warship drew closer, Li Yi saw traces of battle in the sky.
That powerful energy fluctuation was the aftermath of a battle.
"Great Perfection-level experts are fighting." Li Yi's gaze sank slightly: "Could it be that this Dharma-Ending world still harbors other Great Perfection experts?"
At this moment. In the sky far away.
"Xuan Yuezi, give up. Do not make futile struggles. We have descended from the Heaven Beyond Heaven, not to fight you to the death, but merely to seek a chance for cross-dimensional travel. You have already taken so many Daoists away from this world; why are you unwilling to treat us equally?"
An old Daoist wearing a Daoist robe, with three flowers blooming, five energies shrouding him, and stepping on rosy clouds, said with a cold expression.
"Xuan Yuezi, you are one of the Seven Immortal Maidens of the Heavenly Dao Sect; you should know this seat's identity. This seat's Daoist name is Jiang Chengzi. By seniority, you should call this seat 'Grandmaster.' Today, you attack this Grandmaster—could it be that you want to commit the crime of betraying your master and destroying your ancestors?" Another Daoist wearing a purple robe said indifferently.
But before he could finish speaking, Xuan Yuezi spat coldly: "Grandmaster? You are not worthy! When the Dharma-Ending Age arrived, you Great Perfection experts fled to the Heaven Beyond Heaven, leaving countless disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect to suffer in this world for years. Who knows how many senior brothers and sisters passed away? Where were you, this 'Grandmaster,' then? Now that you sense the spiritual energy of the Dao Court, you return with a thick face, and even sneak-attacked me."
"If I were not also at Great Perfection, I would have truly been injured and captured by you."
After saying this, she glared with rage, recalling the previous scene, which was truly heart-stopping.
Who could have imagined that a full six Great Perfection Daoist experts had been lurking near that valley? Even Master Ziyu had not detected them. But if it had been someone with weaker strength, they would have been severely injured and captured, and the cross-dimensional machine would have been seized.
However, Jiang Chengzi and the others had never expected that after lurking for so long, the person who came when the cross-dimensional gate opened would also be a Great Perfection expert, causing them to miscalculate. Because they failed to take Xuan Yuezi down in the first instance, this standoff was formed.
"And Jiang Chengzi, as a Grandmaster of the Heavenly Dao Sect, how could you join forces with the people of the Tianyi Sect? Do you not know that the Tianyi Sect and the Heavenly Dao Sect have always been enemies? After the Dharma-Ending Age arrived, the Tianyi Sect killed I don't know how many disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect; even the Goddess nearly perished at their hands."
Afterward, Xuan Yuezi's gaze locked onto an old Daoist.
That Daoist was named Tian Yunzi, a Grandmaster of the Tianyi Sect who had also fled to the Heaven Beyond Heaven when the Dharma-Ending Age arrived.
As for the other Great Perfection experts, they were also the founders of various sects.
Jiang Chengzi, however, said very calmly: "For a Daoist, achieving the Dao is the most important thing; there are no grudges that cannot be resolved. Xuan Yuezi, this seat has no more patience to preach to you. For the sake of being fellow sect members, hand over the method for cross-dimensional travel, and we shall leave and stop pestering you. Otherwise, do not blame this seat for cleaning up the sect."
"Is it that you have no patience, or that you cannot hold on? The stronger the strength, the more spiritual energy this world plunders from you. It was not easy for you to return from the Heaven Beyond Heaven, and you have lurked for so long; how much strength do you have left?" Xuan Yuezi sneered: "Besides, the Heavenly Dao Sect has already perished, and I am no longer a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Now, I am one of the Seven Immortal Maidens under the command of the Taiyi Heavenly Venerate. The label of 'betraying master and destroying ancestors' does not apply to me."
Having said this, a weapon resembling a crescent moon circled around her, releasing moonlight, and a shocking Demon King aura radiated out.
"If you want to make a move, go ahead. At worst, I will drag you all to the road to the afterlife together."
Xuan Yuezi was not afraid at all, her cold face filled with killing intent.
The six Great Perfection experts who had come from the Heaven Beyond Heaven fell silent for a moment upon seeing this.
They had not expected this Immortal Maiden of the Heavenly Dao Sect to be so unyielding, wishing to confront six people single-handedly.
Moreover, that treasure wheel was truly terrifying; it was comparable to an Accomplished Dao Artifact, and a single strike would be enough to crush an expert of the same level.
But in this Dharma-Ending world, no matter how good a divine weapon is, how many times can it be swung?
It was just that they were unwilling to be dragged to the afterlife by Xuan Yuezi, and most importantly, they were seeking the method for cross-dimensional travel, not wishing to have a great battle here. Otherwise, even if they won, they might not have the strength to return to the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
"Hesitation leads to disaster. To cross dimensions, one must take some risks. Just stall her; I have already requested reinforcements from the Heaven Beyond Heaven, and other Great Perfection Daoist friends will come to support us," Tian Yunzi secretly transmitted his voice.
"I hope the other Daoist friends come quickly. Xuan Yuezi comes from a world rich in spiritual energy; her three Dao flowers are crystal clear and flawless, her foundation is much stronger than ours, and she has a divine weapon in hand. Once a battle starts, it is not certain we can do anything to her," the other Great Perfection Daoists thought secretly.
They also felt fearful when facing Xuan Yuezi.
It was fortunate that Xuan Yuezi was alone, so they could still deter her. If another Great Perfection expert came, the six of them would have to turn and run. After all, every bit of magic power they had was being depleted, and if they truly fought and exhausted themselves, their true forms would be revealed.
Xuan Yuezi also saw through their thoughts at this moment, but she was also waiting for reinforcements. She was one against six, and she also felt uncertain if a battle broke out. Moreover, stalling for time was beneficial to her.
As time passed, the more magic power they consumed, the better it was for her. Even if she could not wait for reinforcements, her chances of winning would be greater.
After all, she had a Mystic Object in hand, so her magic power could be replenished, while they could not.
