Chapter 862: Old Wu Sheng

Li Yi didn't expect that a short exchange with Sun Sun Boxiu would result in such a difficult problem.

Earth's pollution was strengthening, and it was also affecting other worlds. One must know that people in other worlds didn't have the experience of facing the pollution problem. If it were allowed to develop, it might trigger an even greater crisis once some worlds were polluted.

"It really has given Earth a difficult problem." He thought to himself, while suspecting that the strengthening of this pollution was intentional.

Because Hua Qing had said that there were people who didn't want to see Earth rise, which was why they had sealed this place.

Pollution was just the first layer of the seal.

Now the strengthening of pollution meant that someone had strengthened the first layer of the seal. If they couldn't break through this layer of the seal, the second layer of the seal would probably also be strengthened.

If another Heaven-Tilting Incident came, connecting some dangerous and terrifying worlds to Earth, then the cultivators on Earth would probably be forced to cross dimensions again.

Last time, if not for Li Yi pulling a batch of experts from the End-of-Law Daoist world, the invasion of the three forces—the Demon God World, the Xuanxian Continent, and the Dark World—would have been enough to destroy them all.

"Li Yi, you've just arrived at the Golden Academy. Many things aren't urgent. Rest for a few days and think about it slowly. However, I will be responsible for contacting the high-level officials, and I will also help you convey your thoughts."

Sun Sun Boxiu was relatively steady. He suggested that Li Yi shouldn't be anxious and should talk about it after a period of time.

Li Yi wasn't a person who wouldn't listen to advice either. He nodded slightly and said: "I will take advantage of these few days to understand the situation of the pollution. By the way, Dean Sun, spread this news within the Golden Academy to give everyone some time to prepare."

"If the information is spread on a large scale, it will also reach the ears of people in other worlds. Even though the experts of the major worlds have already withdrawn from Earth, I can be certain that they must have left eyes and ears," Sun Sun Boxiu said.

Li Yi said: "It doesn't matter. A cross-dimensional war originally couldn't be carried out sneakily. It can only be fought openly. Even if you wanted to hide it, you couldn't."

Hearing this, Sun Sun Boxiu didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly in agreement.

As these matters concluded, Sun Sun Boxiu added: "By the way, Li Yi, if you have time, you can go to the Martial Arts Building of the Golden Academy. In the past half year, the Golden Academy has summarized and recorded all the cultivation methods that could be mastered, and placed them in the Martial Arts Building for all students to watch and learn. It's very helpful for many people who cultivate multiple methods."

"Good, if there's an opportunity, I'll go take a look." Li Yi nodded.

"I'll have someone arrange a residence for you. With your authority, the treatment will definitely be the best," Sun Sun Boxiu said.

Li Yi waved his hand and said: "No need. Staying in my own Immortal Dao Warship is quite good. Wait until Dean Sun is done with your work before coming to notify me. I will stay here for a period of time."

"Rest assured, I will definitely attach importance to such an important matter," Sun Sun Boxiu said.

Li Yi didn't say anything more, preparing to take Lin Yue to other places to see if there were any other acquaintances in the Golden Academy, meeting and reminiscing was also a good thing.

"Li Yi, wait a moment." Suddenly, an old man with a long beard hanging to his waist beside Sun Sun Boxiu suddenly called out, narrowing his eyes.

Li Yi, who was just about to leave, glanced at the person: "Does the old gentleman have something?"

"Li Yi, I forgot to introduce you. This is Wu Wu Tianji, from the Wu Sheng Continent. He is the master of Ji Wu. This time he crossed dimensions to join the Golden Academy and has also helped quite a bit," Sun Sun Boxiu introduced immediately.

"Dean Sun is right. Old man Wu Wuji is a martial artist who crossed dimensions, and also a Wu Sheng. I heard that my disciple Ji Wu was defeated by your hands. I, as his master, cannot just ignore it. So today, I want to spar with you, Li Yi, in the capacity of a martial artist. It will be a friendly match to avoid hurting harmony."

Although this old Wu Sheng was amiable, his eyes erupted with intense fighting spirit.

Li Yi didn't feel strange about such a challenge.

Martial artists were always like this.

If they didn't have a bit of temper and blood, they wouldn't have reached the level of a Wu Sheng. Although he didn't know what this realm represented, the other party came from the Wu Sheng Continent, so he thought the Wu Sheng must be the peak of that world.

"You are not my opponent. Old gentleman, you should temper yourself some more before coming to challenge me," Li Yi said.

"Old man once entered the Demon God World and sparred with a Tianyue Yao Wang, and was slightly superior. Plus, this year, old man has cultivated other methods, taking the best of others to make up for my own shortcomings. My body has already surpassed its peak, and I consider my strength not weak," this old Wu Sheng named Wu Wu Tianji stroked his beard and said.

Li Yi understood what he meant.

This Wu Sheng had long intended to challenge himself, but because he lacked a clear assessment of his own strength, he had gone to challenge the Tianyue Yao Wang. After all, a year ago, Li Yi had been an existence capable of fighting a Tianyue Yao Wang head-on; if the Wu Sheng couldn't even defeat a Tianyue Yao Wang, he truly wouldn't have the qualifications to issue a challenge. Wu Wu Tianji had already gained the confidence to defeat a Tianyue Yao Wang, which is why he took the initiative to propose the duel upon seeing Li Yi today, unable to even wait until the next day. Of course, this temperament was very much in line with the standards of a martial artist.

"I understand the old gentleman's meaning." Li Yi nodded slightly: "However, let's forget about today. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will wait for the old gentleman here."

"Good, it's a deal." This old Wu Sheng's eyes lit up and he said immediately.

Li Yi said: "Having said it in front of so many people, I naturally won't go back on my word."

He didn't hold hostility toward him, just treating it as a normal spar. After all, Ji Wu had also fought for Earth. Although his purpose was to temper himself, merit was merit; this was an undeniable fact.

Moreover, since this old Wu Sheng could gain Sun Sun Boxiu's trust, he must also be an expert standing on Earth's side, so Li Yi was willing to give the other party such an opportunity.

Sometimes, only when a top-tier expert from another world sees the vastness of heaven and earth can they better stimulate a person's heart to climb upward.

After agreeing to this matter, Li Yi took Lin Yue and separated from Sun Sun Boxiu and the others.

"Master Wu Wu Tianji, you should have felt how terrifying the power contained within Li Yi's body is, right? Is challenging him now a bit unwise?" Sun Sun Boxiu asked.

Wu Wu Tianji, however, smiled and shook his head: "If I lose, wouldn't it be even better? At least it proves that there is still a path ahead above a Wu Sheng. To tell the truth, if it weren't for the sake of lifespan and maintaining my own state, old man wouldn't want to cultivate immortality."

"Moreover, since old man has come to this world, I naturally want to open up a new path for the Wu Sheng Continent. Otherwise, wouldn't I be failing this cross-dimensional opportunity? This Li Yi is heroic and spirited, like a god descending to earth. Perhaps from him, I can find a path above a Wu Sheng."

His purpose for challenging wasn't to vent for his disciple, but for the sake of martial arts.

After all, within the entire Golden Academy, only Li Yi had the qualification to guide this old Wu Sheng's path ahead. There weren't many others who could defeat Wu Wu Tianji, and they didn't cultivate martial arts either, so Wu Wu Tianji wasn't interested in them.

"Wu Sheng Continent? Interesting. It wouldn't be bad to go take a look if there's an opportunity."

After Li Yi took Lin Yue and left, he couldn't help but feel expectant.

"A martial arts world being able to produce a Wu Sheng comparable to a Tianyue Yao Wang is truly incredible." Lin Yue, standing to the side, also exclaimed.

"I estimate there's more than one Wu Sheng; it's just that such a Wu Sheng happened to come to Earth," Li Yi said: "If this old Wu Sheng really takes the best of others to make up for his shortcomings and walks out a new path, then it will be incredible. The other party's combat power will probably surpass mine immediately."

The accumulation of a great Daoist world was indeed terrifying.

Especially such experts who had reached the end of their cultivation.

When they were young, they must have been brilliant and talented, rare geniuses who appeared once in a hundred years. It was just that the upper limit of the world had locked them dead. Once they broke free from the cage, they would be a true dragon soaring through the myriad realms.

Li Yi's master, Zhao Ge, was only a Meridian-Opening martial artist when he was in the Four Seas and Bazhou. After crossing dimensions to Earth, didn't he also advance by leaps and bounds, his strength immediately surpassing numerous evolvers?

It was just a pity that Master Zhao Ge wasn't that kind of genius rare in a hundred years. He had wasted his whole life in the Four Seas and Bazhou and only reached Meridian-Opening, so he was just of medium-upper aptitude.

And Xiang Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi, who came from the End-of-Law world, had excellent aptitude. After crossing dimensions, with sufficient resources, they reached Great Perfection in just a few years, and they had even re-cultivated once.

But Li Yi could see that the old Wu Sheng's aptitude was even more astonishing. Although he was old, as long as he cultivated the immortal cultivation method and solved the problem of aging, his future would definitely be boundless.

"It seems Earth has really changed a lot, and some incredible existences have begun to appear." Lin Yue was silent for a moment and said: "I and Zhao Zhao Lingfu and the others are all a bit unable to keep up with this era."

She then sighed helplessly.

Li Yi, however, laughed: "Lin Jie, don't be discouraged. It doesn't matter if cultivation is a bit slow. If something happens, isn't there still me?"

"You've really grown up, you've even learned to comfort people. In the future, Lin Jie will rely on you. Don't find Lin Jie useless then."

Lin Yue looked at Li Yi and revealed a smile.

She felt that as long as she persisted in working hard to cultivate, at least she could always stay by Li Yi's side in the future, and wouldn't be left behind, unable to even see his back.

"How could that be? Lin Jie, you're overthinking it. When you have time, take Uncle Biao and cross dimensions to the Incense Fire World. My parents have already reunited and are staying in that world. It's time for those elders to meet; after all, we still have to return to live in the future," Li Yi said. ===== CHAPTER 863 =====
