Chapter 971: Seeking

"Great, the God of Chishan has returned."

"The God of Chishan has been fighting outside for many years, and today he has finally returned to Red Gold Mountain."

When Li Yi visited Red Gold Mountain again, it had already become the Kingdom of Red Gold. Many practitioners had established caves here. They were unwilling to stay on Earth and were more willing to travel in the savage world.

Because this world was rich in resources, full of spiritual energy, and more helpful for cultivation.

And Li Yi's appearance made many people who migrated to the Kingdom of Chishan very excited. They hadn't seen the God of Chishan for several years. It was fortunate that many powerhouses maintained the order of the Kingdom of Chishan, otherwise it might have caused turmoil.

After all, as a kingdom, it often needed such a god to sit in town.

In fact, for Li Yi, the honor of the God of Chishan could no longer bring him any benefits. He appeared this time just to deter everyone and stabilize this kingdom.

As a kingdom he built with his own hands, Li Yi naturally didn't want it to be chaotic or even head toward destruction because no one was looking after it. After all, many tribal warriors had followed him to fight.

And during the time Li Yi was away, there were practitioners who rebuilt the City Lord's Mansion for him. Before, it was just the place of the previous Red Gold Mountain Lord. Now that a kingdom was established, it naturally needed a better residence.

A Red Gold Palace sat on the top of a mountain.

Standing in the palace, one could overlook the entire Kingdom of Red Gold, symbolizing supreme power and majesty.

A steep staircase seemed to connect the Heavenly Mountain with the ground. There were powerful divine blood warriors guarding the entrance, and in the Red Gold Palace, only Eji and Suji, as well as some beautiful women, lived.

Even the guards were female warriors like Shanguo.

Although Li Yi didn't order these, after he arrived at this position, his subordinates would naturally do everything well for him, and he only needed to show powerful strength to let everyone understand that he could protect this kingdom.

Just like a lion pride in the animal world.

The male lion didn't need to hunt, just patrol the territory and drive away invaders.

The savage world still followed this near-primitive tradition.

When Li Yi arrived at the Red Gold Palace, the originally calm sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and countless terrifying lightning bolts pierced through the sky, wandering like dragons and snakes, shrouding the entire palace.

This kind of terrifying power had already exceeded the limit of this world. Even if they were far away, everyone could smell the aura of destroying everything.

This aura was enough to make the most powerful divine blood warriors tremble.

"Is that the power of the God of Chishan? How can it be so powerful, even piercing the sky?"

"Compared to a few years ago, the God of Chishan's strength is even more terrifying."

"I, who don't even fear death, am actually trembling in front of this power."

Seeing the lightning power near the Red Gold Palace, they were incomparably shocked, especially many merchants and wise men, who opened their eyes wide, feeling that their cognition was overturned again.

They had traveled to many countries and seen the power of the Lord of a Hundred Mountains, as well as the Five-Direction Gods. But there had never been a god who could reach this level.

The reason Li Yi showed his purpose was very simple. He hadn't appeared for several years and needed to deter everyone, letting them know that his power was still there, and even stronger than before, which would also save him a lot of trouble.

"Lord, you are back."

Feeling this familiar thunder power, two incomparably beautiful women, like heavenly maidens from the Heavenly Realm, flew up. After seeing Li Yi, they hurriedly knelt and bowed respectfully.

"It's Eji and Suji. It's been a few years, and your cultivation has improved. Not bad," Li Yi looked at the two and nodded slightly:

E Ji and Su Ji stood up respectfully.

Li Yi then took another look at the mountain fruit not far away. This female warrior who once guarded the mountain village had now also embarked on the path of cultivation. The wildness in her had faded, and she had become a qualified female warrior.

He then walked into the palace.

A throne made of red gold radiated brilliance, standing in the very center of the main hall.

Li Yi took a look but did not go to sit on the throne. Instead, he flicked his finger, and the power of the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang condensed, suddenly transforming into a Dharma body formed by lightning.

The Dharma body had a spirit, contained wisdom, possessed extraordinary strength, and had the combat power of a Heavenly General level.

"In the future, when I am not in the Kingdom of Red Gold, let a portion of my power remain here to protect this country," Li Yi said.

"Lord, are you planning to return to Earth?" E Ji, who was to the side, asked cautiously.

Li Yi smiled slightly, looked at E Ji and Su Ji, and said, "I know you want to follow me, but unfortunately, the path I must take is extraordinary, and you cannot continue to follow me forward."

"Stay in Red Gold Mountain and cultivate well. In the future, you can attain immortality, and afterwards, you can have a life of your own, or even help me manage the Kingdom of Chishan."

He still had a good impression of these two beautiful young girls, but as a Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of the Heavenly Realm, he naturally did not want to stay in the lower realm for long, nor could he take a few weak women to venture into the Heavenly Realm.

Therefore, Li Yi had no choice but to leave them here.

"Lord."

E Ji and Su Ji immediately knelt down: "We are the Lord's beautiful concubines. No matter where the Lord goes, we must follow. Even if we encounter danger and die outside, it is our destiny."

Li Yi said: "You are all people who have experienced the destruction of your tribes. You should understand that there is no banquet in this world that does not end. You cannot follow me forever. When the appropriate time comes, it is natural to part ways."

E Ji and Su Ji immediately lowered their heads, appearing very sad and disappointed.

Li Yi originally wanted to offer a few words of comfort, but at this moment, two auspicious clouds suddenly came from afar, following the steps, and very boldly passed through the thundercloud area, charging straight into the main hall.

It was seen that two beautiful immortal maidens had arrived together at this moment. They looked at Li Yi, their eyes revealing a bit of joy.

"Tai Yi, why didn't you notify us when you arrived? If it weren't for Lady Yun Feizi's message, I wouldn't even know you had returned. Is it because you are wealthy now that you despise us for being old and faded, and no longer useful? So you want to dump us?"

Xiang Xiangzi spoke, her face full of resentment.

Xuan Yuezi, who was to the side, heard this and her gaze shifted slightly to the side, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Two immortal maidens, do not misunderstand. I have only just returned to Earth, so naturally, I have to handle some private matters. After these matters are finished, I will go to pay my respects to you."

Li Yi smiled slightly; he remained very polite to Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi.

These two immortal maidens had helped him too much, even nearly losing their lives for him. Even though he was now a Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang, he still dared not be negligent.

"That's more like it. I heard you took a trip to the Heavenly Realm? You've gained many opportunities there, and now you're not what you used to be?" Xiang Xiangzi immediately leaned over and said: "Can you take me to the Heavenly Realm too? Xuan Yuezi and I will be your concubines and follow you to cultivate the Great Dao together in the future. I've talked to Xuan Yuezi, and she says it's no problem. If you don't believe me, you can test it tonight."

She was still as shocking in her speech as ever, coming out with wild and bold words right from the start.

Li Yi was already used to it. He said seriously: "The Heavenly Realm is very dangerous. You two are only at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Peak and Five Qi Returning to the Origin stage, and have yet to attain the Dao. If you go to the Heavenly Realm, you won't even be as good as Heavenly Soldiers. Even if I can protect you, it is not a safe matter."

"According to my previous plan, I will leave a Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Palace on Earth, and then wait for the strong ones on Earth to cultivate to the Heavenly General level before I take them to the Heavenly Realm."

"Don't try to fool me. Cultivating to a Heavenly General on Earth? Who knows what year or month that will be. Although the environment on Earth is good, how can it compare to the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Realm? I can just go to the Heavenly Realm, cultivate to a Heavenly General, and then go out to venture. Why stay on Earth and bitterly waste away the years?" Xiang Xiangzi said.

"That does have some truth to it," Li Yi said. "But if I take you to the Heavenly Realm, there will be no turning back. The Heavenly Realm is different from other worlds; you cannot cross over. You need to use some kind of exotic treasure to cut open the fetal membrane of heaven and earth to break in."

"Your strength is very weak. If I cannot protect you and you are captured to be slaves or servants, working like oxen and horses, wouldn't that be terrible?"

Of course, he was just fooling the two of them. As a Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of the Celestial God Royal Clan, there was of course no problem in protecting the two immortal maidens. But the waters of the Heavenly Realm were very deep; here they could act as kings and tyrants, lawless and unrestrained, but once they reached the Heavenly Realm, they would have to keep their tails between their legs.

"If there is truly an accident, it's just death, what is there to fear?" Xiang Xiangzi said directly: "If we didn't have this kind of determination, would Xuan Yuezi and I have begged you?"

Li Yi laughed: "Immortal maiden, you are truly carefree."

"Tai Yi," Xuan Yuezi, who was to the side, said slowly: "Xiang Xiangzi and I have reached a bottleneck in our cultivation to the Great Perfection. Even if we suffer bitterly on Earth, it is difficult to attain the Dao. Not to mention, there are still many realms above, such as Heavenly Soldier, Heavenly General, and Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang."

"Rather than lingering on Earth, it is better to go to the Heavenly Realm and give it a try."

She saw that her path ahead was short, so she wanted to prepare in advance.

Li Yi said: "Cultivation has no end, when is the end? You immortal maidens have finally survived the Age of Dharma Decline and come to Earth; this is the time to be carefree and at ease. Why bother wading into the muddy waters of the Heavenly Realm?"

It was not that he was unwilling to take them to the Heavenly Realm—if he were unwilling, he wouldn't have left behind the ten volumes of human cultivation methods and a Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Palace—but he was worried about their lives.

After all, the three of them had supported each other, walked through a difficult period of time, and had a friendship forged in life and death. Li Yi did not want them to lose their lives in the Heavenly Realm.

"Since Tai Yi has a Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Palace, Xiang Xiangzi and I can hide inside the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Palace to cultivate, and we won't come out until we have the strength of a Heavenly General. How about that?" Xuan Yuezi added with a bit of pleading: "The path here is blocked. Even if we are carefree in the world for a hundred or a thousand years, what can it do? In the end, we still have to go to the Heavenly Realm and step onto the path of cultivation again."

"Rather than wasting a thousand years, it is better to go with Tai Yi today. Consider it me begging you."

After speaking, she bowed to Li Yi.

Seeing this, Li Yi immediately helped her up, then sighed and said: "I didn't expect your hearts for the Dao to be so heavy. Very well, since that is the case, then next time I cross the realms, you two immortal maidens can come with me."

He could not refuse and agreed to the matter. After all, with his status as a Celestial God Royal Clan member, taking care of two immortal maidens was not a difficult task. As for whether they could succeed in their cultivation, that remained to be seen.

If it didn't work out, Li Yi would still send them back.

If they could truly advance by leaps and bounds and soar into the sky, that would also be a good deed of helping others achieve their goals.

Seeing Li Yi agree.

Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi were immediately overjoyed, feeling that there was hope for their future attainment of the Dao.
