Chapter 863: Discussion of High-Level Officials

"Hua Qing, how much do you know about the cosmic energy pollution on Earth?"

On the first night Li Yi arrived at the Golden Academy, he stayed in a room inside the Immortal Dao Warship. Before his eyes floated a Dao coin emitting radiance, and a large amount of energy was being swallowed into it, constantly being used to repair itself.

Because it had been brewing in the Savage World for a year.

At this moment, the Dao coin had already begun to display some strange abilities. It bloomed with treasure light, turning into a humanoid creature sitting opposite Li Yi, looking at him.

This humanoid creature was precisely the remnant soul of Hua Qing, which had been hidden in the Dao coin for a long time without being wiped out.

"It seems you Earthlings have already touched upon this pollution problem. That's right, Earth was tossed about by you, solving a great crisis, and cultivation has flourished again. And with more people cultivating, some secrets naturally couldn't be hidden. Wait, what kind of changes have happened to you in the past year? Why do I feel a sense of divinity on you?"

The remnant soul of Emperor Hua Qing looked at Li Yi at this moment, appearing somewhat shocked.

For over a year, he hadn't had any contact or exchange with Li Yi, and had been silently hibernating and recuperating, preserving this remnant soul power in order to make a comeback in the future. After all, Li Yi had promised him that he would send him to the world where incense fire becomes god, to use incense fire to restore himself.

Li Yi said: "I've naturally been working hard to cultivate. Otherwise, what did you think I was doing for over a year?"

"Your strength has actually grown to this extent. Then you should also be able to feel that lingering malice flowing in this heaven and earth," the remnant soul of Emperor Hua Qing said: "This is also sufficient to prove that what I said before should have already been fulfilled. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to ask me this question."

"You're right. The cultivators on Earth have already discovered the source of the pollution, which is on the Moon, and there is a great array protecting it. It's mostly man-made. However, I haven't gone to look, so I wanted to consult your opinion."

Li Yi said: "And this problem must be solved as soon as possible. The pollution is already spreading. I heard it has already begun to infect the Xuanxian Continent and the Demon God World."

"Li Yi, your caution is correct. Now, even if you have discovered the pollution problem, you must not act rashly. Once you act, a huge crisis will occur. The risks involved are something even you cannot control," the remnant soul of Emperor Hua Qing said.

"But doing nothing won't work either," Li Yi said.

Emperor Hua Qing was silent for a moment and said: "Earth is a cage. The best method is to jump out of here. Old man knows a path that can allow you to leap out of this place and head to a broader cultivation world."

"You mean to do nothing?" Li Yi frowned.

"It's not to do nothing, but to have a plan, have a method, and handle it slowly," the remnant soul of Emperor Hua Qing said: "As long as you leap out of the cage and cultivate for some more years, you can naturally think of a way to handle the pollution problem. Now is still a bit too anxious."

Li Yi understood Hua Qing's meaning.

Now the evolvers on Earth were too weak. Touching this taboo had no benefits. The best method was for him to sneak out, avoid the seal of the great realm, head to a more vast world to cultivate, and then turn back to pull Earth up once his strength was achieved.

"The future is uncontrollable. Rather than waiting, it's better to take the initiative. You must have a method. Tell me about it; I will weigh the risks myself."

He still rejected the other party's good intentions.

"Wanting to break the situation is very simple. Use the power of the Dao coin to destroy the pollution source," Emperor Hua Qing's remnant soul hesitated for a moment before finally giving a method.

"It's that easy?" Li Yi was very surprised.

Emperor Hua Qing's remnant soul gave a light hum: "Easy? If you didn't use the power of the Dao coin, it would be impossible to do it at all. This level of treasure doesn't belong to any world. Only things that can jump out of the cage can help you break the cage."

"But you have to think clearly. Now the Dao coin hasn't been thoroughly repaired. If you act forcibly, it might break again. If you're unlucky and it gets destroyed, the loss will be great."

Li Yi didn't say much, just nodded slightly: "Specifically, how to do it?"

"I will cooperate with you."

Emperor Hua Qing's remnant soul said: "In my current state, using one strike should be no problem. But after the matter is finished, you must immediately send me to the Incense Fire World to recuperate. Otherwise, my remnant soul will thoroughly dissipate."

"Good, no problem." Li Yi promised, while looking at him with a strange expression.

He didn't expect this old immortal to still be hiding one strike of power. Although he would dissipate quickly after one strike, it was also quite remarkable. Who knew when he might suddenly explode and perish together with you.

However, the reason Emperor Hua Qing's remnant soul was willing to say it out was definitely not to do this.

Compared to perishing together, he wanted even more to use the power of incense fire to live again.

And just as Li Yi was considering how to handle the pollution problem, within this newly built Golden Academy, the matter he proposed today about cross-dimensional combat had triggered intense discussion among the high-level officials.

Through virtual images.

Many high-level officials on Earth gathered in a conference room, including Xiao Xiao Jianguo, Zhao Zhao Yongshan, Vice Dean Sun Sun Boxiu, and several other high-level officials he hadn't seen before.

"Li Yi is too anxious. Starting cross-dimensional combat in just one year will easily bring huge trouble to Earth. Although I also know that this peace is temporary, we should drag it out as long as we can. The evolvers on Earth all need time to cultivate. The longer the time of peace, the more experts we will have on our side."

Xiao Xiao Jianguo shook his head slightly at this moment, being the first to express disapproval.

"Li Yi is not an ordinary expert. He controls dozens of Daoist experts under his command, and many people are willing to follow him. His words have great influence, so we must treat it with caution."

A strange high-level official said with a serious face, clearly having done some investigation on Li Yi before the meeting.

"That's right. Li Yi is a meritorious official who repelled foreign enemies. Now he wants to take revenge across dimensions. If we don't follow, not only will it chill Li Yi's heart, but it's also not conducive to unity in the future, especially in the current situation, where we need a leading figure even more." There were also people who said this.

"Dean Sun, you had contact with Li Yi today. What are your thoughts?"

Zhao Zhao Yongshan didn't rush to express his opinion, but looked to the other side.

Sun Sun Boxiu laughed: "I think whether to fight this cross-dimensional war or not doesn't depend on us, but on Li Yi's strength. If Li Yi can win, why not fight? This is not the era of leading troops to fight in the past. The appearance of one expert is sufficient to influence the fate of a world. Everyone knows that Li Yi already had the strength to kill a Tianyue Yao Wang before, and a Tianyue Yao Wang is sufficient to be called a feudal lord in the Demon God World."

"This means that Li Yi is fully capable of taking down a piece of territory in the Demon God World or the Xuanxian Continent. If this is the case, isn't it a very good thing? At least it won't implicate Earth when fighting in the future, but will move the battlefield to other worlds."

"It's not that simple. According to what I know, the strongest in the Demon God World is not the Tianyue Yao Wang, but the Demon God. I don't need to say how terrifying their strength is. The strongest in the Xuanxian Continent is also not a True Immortal, but a Xuanxian. If there is no expert of the same level to check and balance, once an expert of this level takes action, everything before will be turned into ashes," a high-level official said earnestly and seriously.

"If we attack, we are undoubtedly provoking the other party. We cannot afford this price."

Everyone was silent for a moment upon hearing this.

This was indeed a problem.

The cultivation world was just this cruel. Without an expert of the same level, you didn't even have the qualification to start a war. Even though Earth had already appeared with quite a few existences who could contend with the Tianyue Yao Wang level, as long as the peak combat power of that world couldn't be solved, everything was useless.

And no one knew how many Demon Gods were hibernating in the Demon God World, nor did they know how many Xuanxians the Xuanxian Continent had accumulated after countless years.

The foundation of such a great cultivation world was very terrifying.

"However, Li Yi's idea of revenge is also not wrong. Even if we don't take down a world, pushing the defense line to the other party's world is also good. We can't passively wait for the other party to be prepared to invade every time, right? If there really are any Demon Gods or Xuanxians taking action, then the result will be the same whether we take action or not," Zhao Zhao Yongshan said.

Sun Sun Boxiu said: "Tomorrow, that old Martial Saint Wu Wu Tianji from the Martial God Continent is going to spar with Li Yi. His strength is very powerful, and even a Tianyue Yao Wang is not his match. If Li Yi can defeat the other party, I think cross-dimensional combat is feasible."

"Deciding on action based on Li Yi's strength? Although it sounds a bit childish, it's not without reason." Xiao Xiao Jianguo pondered for a little, but didn't say anything more.

Everyone also understood Sun Sun Boxiu's thoughts.

If Li Yi truly had the strength to surpass a Tianyue Yao Wang, it was worth a gamble no matter what. After all, this opportunity was also rare, and who knew how long it would take if they missed it.

"Then let's look at tomorrow's result."

Everyone's opinions reached a unification at this moment.

After all, this world was now one where strength spoke. As long as Li Yi's strength was sufficiently powerful, opposing opinions would disappear. Even if he wasn't a high-level official on Earth, everyone would have to cooperate with his actions.

However, Li Yi didn't know about this matter. Now he was piloting the Immortal Dao Warship, flying toward the direction of the Moon.

He wanted to investigate what was going on with Earth's pollution problem. ===== CHAPTER 864 =====
