Chapter 868: The Dao-Achiever
Li Yi's idea was very simple: take this opportunity to subdue these thirty-three Great Perfection Daoist experts. In this way, he could fill the disadvantage of the insufficient number of top-tier experts on Earth. When the time came to start cross-dimensional combat, he would also have more confidence.
However, he didn't trust these people. Unless they were willing to plant the Self-Sacrifice Curse, he would rather let these people sit and die in this world than take them across dimensions and leave.
He didn't want to have a batch of enemies for no reason.
The requirement of the Self-Sacrifice Curse was indeed very strict, almost equivalent to handing their own lives to Li Yi, and they didn't even have room to resist. Although Li Yi said he would give them freedom and lift the Self-Sacrifice Curse in the future, who knew if this matter was true or false.
The crowd of Daoist experts were thinking, hesitating, and also looking at others.
Everyone was indecisive.
"Self-Sacrifice Curse? Poor Daoist will give it to you. As long as you can take Poor Daoist across dimensions, this little requirement doesn't count for anything."
However, after a short silence, suddenly, a Great Perfection-level Daoist expert flew over from Heaven Beyond Heaven, and at the same time, struck out a ray of light.
This ray of light was precisely the Self-Sacrifice Curse.
After Li Yi reached out to receive it, there was an obscure rune on his hand.
"Xuan Xuan Zhenzi, why are you so impulsive?" Other Daoists said with a look of surprise.
Xuan Xuan Zhenzi didn't answer, just looked at Li Yi: "Can Poor Daoist follow the Heavenly Venerable to cross dimensions and leave now?"
? ¢O
Li Yi said: "You can. However, I need to check if you are carrying any storage Dao artifacts. If you put a large group of people into a storage Dao artifact and follow you to sneak across, I will be very disadvantaged."
As soon as these words came out, Xuan Xuan Zhenzi was silent immediately, and subsequently, he gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Sure enough, this little trick of Poor Daoist still couldn't deceive you."
He originally wanted to gamble, but didn't expect that this Tai Yi had already been alert. In this way, this move couldn't play any role either.
"Master, disciple is incompetent, having been seen through by this Tai Yi. Please, Master, reveal yourself."
He sighed, and subsequently, his Daoist robe waved, and a delicate jade palace flew out.
The next moment, a figure flew out from the jade palace, turning into a Daoist boy of about ten years old.
Although this Daoist was in the appearance of a boy, his eyes revealed a tranquility like heaven and earth, an existence close to the Dao.
Daoist Yuqing, standing to the side, and other Great Perfection Daoist experts, seeing this Daoist boy, immediately had a look of surprise, and subsequently bowed in unison: "Greetings, Dongji Heavenly Venerable."
With Heavenly Venerable as the title.
This Daoist boy was definitely not a Great Perfection, but a true Dao-Achiever.
In the Daoist world, a Dao-Achiever had already reached the peak of cultivation and had no way to advance further. But since ancient times, Daoist practitioners who could reach this realm were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, countable on one's fingers.
"Dongji Heavenly Venerable?" Li Yi narrowed his eyes: "So it's a Dao-Achiever."
"Greetings, Tai Yi Heavenly Venerable." This Daoist boy revealed a smile and bowed.
Hearing the other party address him like this, the one who was surprised wasn't Li Yi, but the other Great Perfection Daoist experts. They looked at Li Yi with great shock, not expecting that Dongji Heavenly Venerable would actually be willing to call the other party Tai Yi Heavenly Venerable.
This showed that this Tai Yi's strength had already been recognized by Dongji Heavenly Venerable, or rather, Tai Yi was already very close to the position of Heavenly Venerable and couldn't be underestimated.
"As a Dao-Achiever, you also want to cross dimensions?" Li Yi said.
This Daoist boy sighed: "This world is already unsavable. Even if I have achieved the Dao, spiritual energy drying up will also cause heaven and earth to dissipate. Now that Tai Yi Heavenly Venerable has come across dimensions to save us from this sea of suffering, how can I miss it?"
"Even if a Dao-Achiever wants to cross dimensions, I still have to collect the fare," Li Yi said: "If you have any opinion, I can accompany you to fight a round."
He still didn't fear facing a Dao-Achiever.
The strength of a God plus dual cultivation, fighting against a Dao-Achiever—although he didn't know what the odds of victory were, he didn't think he would be defeated. At worst, he would fight to a mutual destruction.
If he wasn't strong, how could he subdue these people in the future and establish authority in front of them?
"There's no need to take action."
This Daoist boy waved his Daoist robe, and a ray of light flew toward Li Yi, leaving a rune mark on his arm.
This was precisely the Self-Sacrifice Curse.
"Master." Daoist Xuan Zhen was very surprised, not expecting that his master would also plant the Self-Sacrifice Curse.
"Tai Yi Heavenly Venerable, are you satisfied?" The Daoist boy smiled.
Li Yi, however, said with a calm expression: "No one knows if the Self-Sacrifice Curse can bind a Dao-Achiever. However, it doesn't matter. Since you are willing to plant the Self-Sacrifice Curse, I am willing to believe you once. This time, crossing dimensions will include you."
Subsequently, he looked at the others again: "Are there any others who want to leave? My time is limited, and I won't stay here for too long."
Daoist Yuqing and other Great Perfection Daoist experts, seeing that even Dongji Heavenly Venerable, who was a Dao-Achiever, had planted the Self-Sacrifice Curse, naturally had nothing to say. They sighed helplessly in their hearts, simply didn't persist anymore, and struck out a ray of light one after another.
Thirty-two Self-Sacrifice Curses appeared. Li Yi sensed them one by one, confirming that not a single person was missed.
"It seems you all have made the correct decision. Very good. Since this is the case, then prepare to follow me and set off to leave." Seeing that the matter had been handled, Li Yi immediately intended to set off.
"Heavenly Venerable, can you wait for a moment? We still have some private matters that need to be handled," Daoist Yuqing said.
Li Yi said: "I will give you half an hour. After half an hour, enter the Immortal Dao Warship and follow me to cross dimensions."
He wasn't a person who didn't understand human feelings. Since they were willing to work for him and had planted the Self-Sacrifice Curse, he was also willing to give them some convenience.
"Many thanks, Heavenly Venerable," Daoist Yuqing said gratefully.
Subsequently, he glanced at the other Daoists.
Immediately, everyone stepped on auspicious clouds, and divine light disappeared from his sight. Clearly, they had all returned to Heaven Beyond Heaven again, striving to handle all private matters within half an hour.
Actually, this way of doing things was superfluous.
As long as they stayed on Earth for a period of time, they could thoroughly obtain cross-dimensional machines and strange objects. In the future, they could also cross dimensions themselves, and it wasn't that there was absolutely no chance to return to this place.
However, Li Yi didn't say much, letting them go.
Returning inside the Immortal Dao Warship.
Lin Yue had also been paying attention to the situation outside. Seeing Li Yi arrive, she also understood that those powerful experts who followed Li Yi were all from this End-of-Law world.
"Li Yi, bringing so many powerful experts back to Earth at once, will there be any trouble?" She asked in a low voice.
"Trouble will definitely be there, but compared to the threats of other worlds, what does this little trouble count for?"
Li Yi said: "If it weren't for the help of the Daoist experts from the End-of-Law world, Earth would have been occupied long ago. Lin Jie, don't worry. I will control them. If anyone makes trouble, I have the confidence to clean them up."
Lin Jie thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and didn't say anything more.
This matter was indeed more beneficial than harmful.
Picking up dozens of experts for free, bearing a little risk was also worth it. If Li Yi wanted to fight across dimensions, these people would be the fierce generals charging into battle. ===== CHAPTER 869 =====
