Chapter 853: The Envoy from Youfeng

A silver divine light flashed across the sky of Shenmu City, slashing toward the lush sacred tree, forcibly cutting off a thick branch of the sacred tree.

At the same time, cultivation experts immediately flew over, caught the fallen branch, and quickly took it away from here.

On this day, Li Yi transformed into a hundred-zhang giant again, controlling thunder and lightning, wielding divine power, and began to wantonly prune the branches of this sacred tree. For such a large sacred tree, just a portion of the branches was enough to satisfy his needs.

Li Yi also did not want to do the kind of thing of killing the chicken to get the eggs, so he only took the unimportant parts of the sacred tree and did not move the main trunk. As long as its foundation was not damaged, in a few decades or hundreds of years, the sacred tree could still grow new branches.

Many people in Shenmu City saw this scene and remained silent.

The Shenmu lineage was defeated and died, and the sacred tree was felled by the God of Chishan. This was an inevitable result, but they did not expect this day to come so quickly.

The wise man in the city, Mu Sang Gong, had been sitting on an ancient tree for these few days, watching the changes in Shenmu City over these days. When he saw the sacred tree being felled, he was not angry, but rather felt a kind of relief.

At least, this God of Chishan did not have the idea of completely felling the sacred tree, but only pruning the branches. In this way, for a considerably long time in the future, the sacred tree should be safe and there would be no possibility of extinction.

This was already the greatest luck.

As the branches of the sacred tree were constantly felled, that scorching and dazzling golden light also dimmed a lot, and the massive cosmic energy shrouding Shenmu City also inevitably declined.

Li Yi noticed this situation, but he did not stop, because he now urgently needed resources like the sacred tree.

And the felled sacred tree was all handed over to the Tiangong Daoist. In these days, he had to use Chijin and the sacred tree to refine a second, or even a third, Sacred Tree Chijin Furnace. The remaining materials had to be forged into Dao weapons to increase everyone's strength.

Even, Li Yi also asked him to use the sacred tree mixed with Chijin to build an Immortal Dao warship.

However, all this required time.

Another silver divine light slashed down, a huge branch of the sacred tree fell, and then it was quickly taken away by cultivation experts. Li Yi saw this and felt it was about enough. He stopped his hand and did not continue felling.

"Take this much of the sacred tree for now, we'll talk if it's not enough later. Those who know how to refine weapons go and help the Tiangong Daoist refine Chijin Dao weapons. There should be no battles in the recent period, everyone work hard to cultivate and return to the peak as soon as possible."

After Li Yi issued the order, he did not say much, but immediately shrank his body size and returned to the City Lord's Mansion in Shenmu City.

At this time, Miao Huizi and Purple Jade True Person had also searched the entire City Lord's Mansion inside and out, obtaining a large amount of Chijin from the Shenmu lineage, as well as various treasures from the savage world.

These treasures were not taken away by the Shenmu lineage because they had accumulated too much, and this world did not have storage rings. A large amount of items could not be carried, and the efficiency of people carrying and carts pulling was too slow. Plus, Li Yi had Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi move into Shenmu City in time, which also gave the people of the Shenmu lineage no chance to take away these countless years of accumulation.

So now it all became Li Yi's spoils of war.

"Tai Yi, the resources of this world are truly abundant. The accumulation of the Shenmu lineage is indeed extraordinary. Just the Chijin is no less than Chijin Mountain, and there are various powerful strange beast inner cores, comparable to mystic objects."

Miao Huizi exclaimed, and she handed a storage Dao weapon to Li Yi.

After Li Yi took it and just scanned it, he was shocked by the things inside. He took out a treasure pearl the size of a fist, crystal clear, divine light flowing, emitting an astonishing cosmic energy.

And because of the nourishment of the sacred tree energy, this kind of strange beast inner core comparable to a mystic object had not lost its spiritual energy even after being placed for many years, still the same as when it was just taken out.

If it were in other worlds, such an inner core would lose its energy after being placed for decades and become waste.

"Truly a place of heaven and earth creation. This level of strange beast inner core can actually be preserved so well." Li Yi sighed. He did not want to leave after coming to the City Lord's Mansion in Shenmu City.

That golden energy flowed on his body, plus the god-like body was automatically cultivating, he could become stronger without doing anything. This feeling was simply too wonderful.

"Yes, under this sacred tree, it is truly wonderful. Cultivating here can be said to be a thousand li a day. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth has condensed into golden streamers flowing on the body. Such a blessed land, the Shenmu lineage enjoyed it for so many years but did not produce a god."

Purple Jade True Person on the side shook his head, feeling very disappointed with this group of primitive people.

"So the Shenmu lineage was arrogant and degenerate. Only that Shenmu Lord saw this point, left the comfortable Shenmu City, went to other places to challenge powerful enemies, tempered himself, and tried to take that step, but unfortunately, he failed."

Li Yi said calmly. Afterward, he put this strange beast inner core into the storage Dao weapon and handed it to Miao Huizi again.

"Immortal Maiden, trouble you to deal with the things inside. Those that should be used for alchemy, use them for alchemy; those for refining weapons, use them for refining weapons. Send those treasure pearls with mystic object functions to the Tiangong Daoist, to be used as energy sources for the Immortal Dao warships."

He was not tempted by these treasures, but intended to make good use of them and transform them into strength and foundation.

"Good." Miao Huizi nodded slightly and agreed to this matter.

"By the way, North Wilderness City also needs people to manage. Purple Jade True Person, try to arrange some cultivation experts to make a trip there. Although it cannot compare to Shenmu City, it is also a good place to obtain resources." Li Yi then said.

Purple Jade True Person immediately said: "Tai Yi, how about I and a few fellow Daoists go and manage North Wilderness City together?"

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "If Purple Jade True Person has this intention, you can try. However, cultivation practitioners had better not do everything themselves. Sometimes you have to respect the traditions of this world. Shang Lords must be accepted, slave owners must exist, God-Blood Warriors must be recruited. The water in this world is too deep, not suitable for making too much noise. Everything is based on improving oneself and obtaining resources for cultivation."

"I will keep Tai Yi's words in mind." Purple Jade True Person understood Li Yi's meaning.

"Then you can go with peace of mind. If there are powerful enemies at the Mountain Lord level invading, you can come to Shenmu City for help." Li Yi said.

Purple Jade True Person nodded, then bid farewell and left.

Li Yi watched him leave, and then saw the High Priest Dou Kun, walking with vigorous steps, leaning on a staff made of sacred tree branches, striding toward the City Lord's Mansion.

"Lord, you have stayed in Shenmu City for too long. The tribal leaders and priests of all tribes within a thousand li have all brought the most powerful warriors and the most beautiful beauties in their clans to Chishan City to pay respects to you, hoping that the Lord can accept their allegiance."

Although the High Priest Dou Kun had traveled five hundred li, he did not look tired at all and was still full of energy.

This was the benefit of cultivation. Now the High Priest Dou Kun already had the cultivation of the Tribulation Crossing Realm and would soon become a Mahayana cultivation practitioner.

The people of this world, whether they were warriors or High Priests, had very solid foundations. Even if they practiced the Immortal Cultivation Method, they could advance a thousand li a day.

"You are the High Priest, you can handle this matter."

Li Yi said: "As for which tribes to accept and which tribes to drive away, you are in charge. I believe you can handle this matter well. In addition, the Shang Lords Xiu Xiang and Nv Heng will also help you."

The High Priest Dou Kun naturally understood that it was impossible for a god to handle everything, so he needed a High Priest who stayed in the tribe all year round.

But Dou Kun could manage the affairs of a tribe, but the affairs of a thousand-li country were different.

"Lord, at least you have to meet them personally. Getting the appreciation and summoning of a god is their honor, which is conducive to the establishment of the Kingdom of Chijin in the future." The High Priest Dou Kun said.

"That makes sense. High Priest, trouble you to go back and tell them that I will return to Chijin Mountain in three days to summon them. At the same time, invite some tribal warriors to join Chijin Mountain and serve me." Li Yi said.

If he could get a group of Mountain Lord-level warriors to serve, his power could also be increased.

After all, these two hundred or so cultivation experts had already emptied the foundation of the cultivation world. To deal with future changes, he needed new experts to serve.

And the people of this world attached great importance to promises. As long as their tribes promised to be loyal, they would definitely fulfill it. There was no need to worry about betrayal and deception.

Sometimes primitive also had primitive benefits.

"Lord, then I will return to Chijin Mountain to prepare for this matter."

After the High Priest Dou Kun agreed, he hurried away again. Clearly, after Li Yi became a god, this old priest had to work much harder than before.

However, Li Yi was also very busy.

Not long after the High Priest Dou Kun left, he sensed the aura of a Lord of the Baishan appearing outside Shenmu City. This aura was very familiar, and Li Yi should have seen the place before.

"It's the North Wind Lord who has come." Li Yi's expression moved.

His gaze pierced through layers of obstacles, peeping at the situation outside the city.

He saw that the North Wind Lord who had left before brought a group of subordinates, pulling over a hundred carts and horses, and came here. Clearly, he was not an enemy of Li Yi, but came to show goodwill. Those carts and horses were all loaded with treasures from the Kingdom of Youfeng.

Among them, Li Yi even saw a giant green phoenix trapped in a cage.

That was a true mythical creature, but in this savage world, the green phoenix was ultimately just prey for the Lord of the Baishan, caught and kept as a pet in the gift-giving team.

"Dayi, the Kingdom of Youfeng has sent the North Wind Lord to congratulate you, a god. Do you want to see him?" Soon, Xuan Yuezi appeared in a hurry and brought this important news.

Li Yi withdrew his gaze at this moment: "Of course I want to see him. After all, the Kingdom of Youfeng also has a god sitting in command, so I still have to give some face. Let this North Wind Lord come to the City Lord's Mansion. I believe he is also familiar with this place and does not need a guide."

A few days ago, the other party had cut off a large section of the sacred tree and took it away. It seems that after the god of the Kingdom of Youfeng knew this news, he was afraid of causing a divine war, so he sent gifts to try to calm his anger. ===== CHAPTER 854 =====
