Chapter 869: The Last Cross-Dimensional Crossing
"Half an hour has passed. Red Ji, start the Immortal Dao Warship, perform cross-dimensional crossing. Destination: Earth, Golden Academy."
When the time arrived punctually, Li Yi immediately ordered the intelligence brain.
The intelligence brain Red Ji immediately controlled the Immortal Dao Warship. The warship that was originally hovering in the sky suddenly accelerated, crossing the firmament at an extremely fast speed. Looking from afar, it was like a meteor flashing by, its speed incomparably fast.
"Are we leaving this heaven and earth?"
Dozens of Great Perfection-level Daoist experts inside the Immortal Dao Warship looked at this End-of-Law Daoist world through the projection at this moment. For them, although this world had dried up spiritual energy and cultivation didn't exist, it was still their native land where they were born.
Crossing dimensions and leaving at this moment, although forced by circumstances, made them feel reluctant to part.
"The Dao of Heaven is just like this. A great cultivation world has its prosperous times and also its days of decline. The End-of-Law has arrived, and this world has already fallen into a place of mortals. How can we, Daoist practitioners, hold onto the past and die in a place without spiritual energy? Leaving early, there is still a chance to pass down the Daoist lineage, and even continue the path ahead," Daoist Yuqing issued a sigh.
"Without us, this large group of Daoist practitioners in Heaven Beyond Heaven, perhaps the remaining people can live better. Maybe there is a chance to hold on until the next spiritual energy recovery. This Daoist left all spiritual stones and elixirs behind before leaving, which can be considered giving the descendants a little help," Xuan Xuan Zhenzi's expression was calm.
"Why didn't I think of this point? If spiritual stones and the like are indeed useless after crossing dimensions and leaving, leaving them in Heaven Beyond Heaven can be considered leaving a path of survival for the descendants," quite a few Great Perfection-level Daoist experts were very annoyed.
They were only busy packing things and entrusting the aftermath, and didn't think of this layer.
"Everyone has their own fate. The future path can only be walked by themselves," there were also people who were very free and easy.
In Heaven Beyond Heaven, it wasn't just them, these Great Perfection-level Daoist practitioners, who lived there; there were also many disciples, Daoist companions, and descendants. However, now, they had all been abandoned. The reason was very simple.
Li Yi didn't need a group of useless people without strength; he wanted powerful experts who could fight.
"Is there only one Dao-Achiever in the entire Heaven Beyond Heaven?" Inside the Immortal Dao Warship, Li Yi suddenly asked a question.
That Daoist boy revealed a smile at this moment: "The spiritual energy consumed by a Dao-Achiever every day is too much. After a round of internal strife, only one of me was left. It's truly a pity for those fellow Daoists who couldn't hold on until the day you arrived, Tai Yi Heavenly Venerable."
Hearing these words, the other Daoists immediately looked at Dongji Heavenly Venerable with a look of horror.
They didn't expect that there were such inside stories in Heaven Beyond Heaven.
No wonder the consumption speed of spiritual energy in Heaven Beyond Heaven had slowed down a lot in the past year. It turned out it was because a Dao-Achiever had fallen.
"Drought has arrived, and the big crocodiles in the pond will always fight each other first," Li Yi narrowed his eyes: "Good methods, actually being able to win until the end."
"It's not that I lived until the end, but that you, Tai Yi Heavenly Venerable, saw me who lived until the end. If I had lost the struggle, perhaps the one standing here now would be some other Heavenly Venerable."
"It's only been a year since I last crossed dimensions. Isn't it a bit anxious to take action?" Li Yi asked.
Dongji said: "I didn't dare to gamble on how many years it would take for you, Fellow Daoist, to come. This matter needs to be planned for a rainy day. Moreover, no Dao-Achiever is willing to weaken their strength because of spiritual energy drying up. Therefore, plundering the spiritual energy of Heaven Beyond Heaven is something every Dao-Achiever must do."
"And this move undoubtedly accelerated the destruction of Heaven Beyond Heaven. Of course, it's not that no Heavenly Venerable thought of slaughtering the Great Perfection to reduce spiritual energy consumption, but this proposal was rejected. Does Fellow Daoist know why?"
Other Great Perfection practitioners heard this secret matter and were all terrified.
They didn't expect that they had walked a round on the edge of death. If this proposal had been passed back then, they wouldn't have lived until today.
Li Yi said: "With a Dao-Achiever present, the Great Perfection-level Daoist practitioners are ultimately obedient. Killing them has no meaning. And they wouldn't dare to compete for spiritual energy with a Dao-Achiever. Looking at their withered appearance before, one knows that their usual spiritual energy supply is very little, just maintaining the most basic survival."
"Not bad. At that time, I was also of this meaning. Great Perfection-level Daoist practitioners don't consume much spiritual energy. Killing them is useless. Dao-Achievers are the culprits who consume a large amount of spiritual energy. Therefore, internal strife is inevitable. Thus, those few of us Dao-Achievers decided to decide the fate of the world with strength, one battle deciding the future."
Dongji Heavenly Venerable's eyes were still calm. He said: "Before the great battle, we summarized everything we had learned in our lives, the Dao methods of the world, and compiled them into a Dao scripture, inherited by the Dao-Achiever who survived. This can also be considered the inheritance not being extinguished."
From his words, it wasn't hard to hear that regarding that great battle that decided the future of the Daoist world, those few Dao-Achievers of Heaven Beyond Heaven all held the determination to die. Although Dongji Heavenly Venerable was the final winner, he didn't show any joy.
"In the End-of-Law world, this decision is indeed very correct," Li Yi didn't say much: "It's just a pity that I only pulled one Dao-Achiever like you on this trip. If I had come earlier, perhaps I could have had a few more assistants. After all, the other piece of heaven and earth isn't very peaceful."
He also glanced at this Daoist world.
If there were no accidents, Li Yi wouldn't come again. And all the Daoist experts still existing in this world had been caught in one net by him. In the future, this place would thoroughly fall into a mortal world without spiritual energy. Of course, it was also possible that it would evolve into a Wu Xia world.
After all, he had passed down martial arts in this world.
Following a brilliant energy light blasted from the main ship cannon of the Immortal Dao Warship, the cross-dimensional gate opened. The Immortal Dao Warship flew into it, carrying this last batch of Daoist experts and thoroughly leaving this world.
What appeared before their eyes again was the scenery of Earth.
Although they were inside the Immortal Dao Warship, all the Daoist experts could recognize it at a glance: this was a world with absolutely abundant spiritual energy, just... I don't know why this heaven and earth was always filled with an ominous aura.
"This is Earth. Spiritual energy has only recovered for over ten years. However, the spiritual energy here has suffered some pollution. It's best if you don't easily get stained," Li Yi reminded: "Follow me to the Golden Academy first, observe the rules here, understand the situation here, and don't cause trouble. This world is very special."
"This world is indeed very special. Never has there been a world where such a large spatial crack was torn open in the sky, and it was also connected to another world," Dongji Heavenly Venerable had already noticed the Xuanxian Continent world at the end of the sky.
He could sense that that was also a great cultivation world.
And the heaven and earth here were chaotic, filled with many complex powers that couldn't be understood.
Arriving here for the first time, it was indeed necessary to be low-key, and figure out the situation of this world first before saying anything else.
The Immortal Dao Warship continued to fly, and soon, arrived at the Golden Academy again.
It was just that when many experts in the Golden Academy saw Li Yi's Immortal Dao Warship appear again, they all revealed a look of surprise, because just yesterday, a huge energy tide swept across space above the sky, and even affected Earth.
Many thought this was the sign of another Heaven-Tilting Incident.
But soon, the Vice Dean of the Golden Academy, Sun Sun Boxiu, gave an explanation: this was Li Yi finding the pollution source that polluted Earth's energy on the Moon, and causing some normal reactions by taking action.
Even, pictures of that crystal palace behind the Moon were released.
The reason for choosing to make it public was because now the cultivators' strength was very strong, and rushing into space and landing on the Moon to investigate this matter was very easy. Rather than letting these people mess around, it was better to make it public directly to avoid the appearance of some trouble.
And what made people not expect was that following the end of that energy tide, the spiritual energy pollution on Earth really obtained a great relief, at least not to the extent of eroding other worlds and affecting evolvers.
However, the pollution problem still existed and hadn't thoroughly ended.
But at least it pointed out a direction for all the experts on Earth, making people realize that it turned out the pollution problem could be solved. As long as they succeeded, they didn't need to run to other worlds to cultivate at all.
However, there was a terrifying existence in that crystal palace on the back of the Moon, and even Li Yi couldn't easily solve it.
Fortunately, Li Yi appeared safely in the Golden Academy again.
When the Immortal Dao Warship hovered.
Li Yi and Lin Yue walked out from inside. He ordered Red Ji to popularize various knowledge to this group of Great Perfection Daoist experts during this period of time, and let them stay in the warship.
"Li Yi, what happened on the Moon? Is there really someone deliberately laying down a great array to pollute Earth's energy?"
As soon as he appeared, someone flew over from the distance and asked immediately.
Li Yi looked at the person who came, it was Ye Jing whom he had known in Survival Base 8 before: "This matter is very complex. I did discern some secrets, but saying it out is useless. With the current experts on Earth, this problem cannot be solved."
"I tried to destroy a part of the great array's operation yesterday. Now it seems there should be an effect. Earth's pollution problem has obtained a temporary relief."
"However, now shouldn't be the time to care about this matter, right? Cross-dimensional combat is more important."
"Many people have heard about the cross-dimensional combat matter. If you want to take action, Li Yi, I will naturally participate," Ye Jing said.
Li Yi said: "That's good. I will talk to those high-level officials about this matter, and I estimate there will be a result very soon."
"However, Li Yi, have you forgotten one thing?" Ye Jing said: "That old Wu Sheng from the Martial God Continent, Wu Wu Tianji, is looking for you everywhere."
"He probably isn't concerned about my whereabouts, but wants to challenge me," Li Yi laughed: "However, this is a small matter, it doesn't matter. Can you help me contact him? Let him come find me; I will wait for him here."
"You are still as confident as ever. That is a Wu Sheng whose strength surpasses a Demon King, and martial arts competition is very disadvantageous for you," Ye Jing said.
Li Yi said: "Disadvantageous? That's not necessarily so. Don't forget I also came from a martial arts background."
"Since this is the case, then I will go help you notify him," Ye Jing said, and subsequently, he left immediately.
