Chapter 98

99. Chapter 99: Method of Crossing Dimensions (Bonus for Alliance Leader: Shen Jingxi Xi Wu)

"The next Heaven-Tilting Event? If I want to survive, I have to escape this world. Today, I really learned some incredible news."

Returning home, Li Yi couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.

"If that day really comes, what should I do? Should I stay in Tianchang City, or as they said, cross dimensions to a new world to seek survival? Assuming things are really that serious, with my current level, I can't become a Cross-Dimensional Traveler at all; I can only seek survival on my own."

Li Yi was still clear about his own capabilities.

Don't look at the fact that he now possesses two techniques and has mastered a defective Mystic Object, with huge potential for the future; right now, he is just a very ordinary Spirit Medium Realm cultivator, and such people are a dime a dozen in this world and wouldn't be valued at all.

Looking at the hanging man's spear floating in mid-air in the living room, presenting an illusory color.

A strange idea suddenly flashed through Li Yi's mind.

When he was in the Ghost Street, he took Zhao Ge as his master, and his master was clearly not from this world.

"If I could go to Master's world, that would be great. That way, even if the Heaven-Tilting Event really happens, I could take my family to a safe place, so I wouldn't even have problems with survival." Li Yi couldn't help but have such an idea at this moment.

But after thinking carefully, he found that it was impossible for him to go to his master's world.

It was very simple.

Li Yi had no blood relatives in his master's world. Even if he used the Mud Horse, the Mud Horse would only take Li Yi back to Tianchang City and couldn't reach his master's world, so this was a dead end.

Unless he could see his master one more time in the Ghost Street.

But this was also impossible.

The Ghost Street was extremely dangerous. Even if his master really went to the Ghost Street one day, Li Yi couldn't receive news and rush to meet up.

Their last meeting was purely a coincidence.

Sigh.

He sighed helplessly.

Li Yi gave up continuing to think about this heavy topic. He couldn't control the sudden changes in the future; the only thing he could do now was to improve his strength as much as possible.

Clearing his mind.

He returned to his room, sat cross-legged, formed a precious seal with his hands, and performed the White Bone Contemplation cultivation technique.

With the blessing of the White Bone Contemplation cultivation technique and the defective Mystic Object, Li Yi had the confidence to cultivate to the point of opening Spirit Perception before the Heaven-Tilting Event arrived, becoming an expert on the same level as Zhang Lei, Yang Yi Long, and Li Shaoqing.

Perhaps at that level, some of the difficulties he was facing now could be easily solved.

As a large amount of pure cosmic energy poured into his body.

Li Yi started his path of evolution again.

Just like before, his body seemed to be glowing in the dim room. This glow was pure and flawless, like a faint halo spreading outward. This halo was just like the energy field of a Mystic Object; just the amount that leaked out was enough to supply two or three cultivators for cultivation.

It was just that Li Yi had no way to absorb all the energy he guided in, and could only let it dissipate through his body, which was a huge waste in an invisible way.

Only he, holding a defective Mystic Object, dared to be so extravagant. If it were an ordinary cultivator, they wouldn't even have enough to hire a guide, let alone be so wasteful.

Li Yi's body was currently like it was soaking in a pure energy field. Every cell in his body was active, and his body was evolving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The most significant feature was that Li Yi had started his third skin shedding.

Another layer of old skin was slowly peeling off.

Li Yi seemed to be experiencing a third rebirth. His skin became increasingly flawless, his bones increasingly tough, and his body became stronger. Even the injuries left behind from fighting that Chen Xiangxi earlier healed within these short one or two hours.

This state continued until evening.

At this moment, the energy field of the defective knife coin suddenly changed.

Accompanied by the surging of cosmic energy within the energy field, the resentment deposited on the knife coin was disturbed again. But this time, this defective resentment didn't act as usual, shouting about "naturally evil Earthlings" and then killing Li Yi. Instead, after waking up, it didn't say a word, just quietly stared at Li Yi.

Being spied on by such a gaze, Li Yi couldn't help but feel a bit horrified.

"Can you stop staring at me like that? I'm cultivating." He communicated with his mind; this wouldn't interrupt his cultivation.

The White Bone Contemplation cultivation technique was just that magical; it could do two things at once.

"Just now, this old man heard some good news. Your world is almost finished. Haha, is the naturally evil Earthling finally going to reach its end?" This defective resentment couldn't help but laugh.

"..."

Li Yi was speechless for a moment. After all that, you opened your mouth just to mock.

He ignored it and continued cultivating.

The defective resentment said again: "What a pity. You little guy with naturally deep demonic nature, not being able to see you fall into the demonic path with my own eyes, I'm truly a bit unwilling."

Li Yi still ignored it, working hard at cultivation.

"Hey, kid, your cultivation is too slow. Even if I gave you ten years, you wouldn't be able to touch the threshold of crossing dimensions, unless you change to another way to cross dimensions." The defective resentment suddenly changed the subject and spoke.

"What way?" Only then did Li Yi curiously respond.

"Heh, how could this old man easily tell you such an important matter, unless you promise me one thing." That defective resentment revealed some intentions at this moment.

Li Yi asked again: "What do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple. Help me kill one hundred naturally evil Earthlings, and I'll teach you the method to cross dimensions." The defective resentment said.

"Kill one hundred people? Damn, you're the devil, aren't you?" Li Yi couldn't help but curse: "Do you think I'm a murderous maniac?"

"Weren't you quite straightforward when you killed people earlier? One punch each, *hehehe*." The defective resentment let out a strange laugh.

Li Yi immediately explained: "That was because others wanted to kill me; I was forced to fight back. Have you ever seen me take the initiative to kill anyone? I am a fine young man. You naturally evil knife coin resentment, don't try to lead me into the demonic path again. You've misjudged the person; I'm not the kind of person you imagine."

"Then what about killing fifty? You should be satisfied with this, right?" The defective resentment said again.

"Is this a question of quantity?" Li Yi said.

"Twenty, no fewer." The defective resentment actually started to bargain.

Li Yi's attitude remained firm: "Give up on that idea. If I can't cross dimensions, then I can't. Born here, die here; it's not a wasted life."

"Born here, die here... well said." At this moment, the defective resentment actually fell silent, and finally gradually hid itself.

The cosmic energy of the knife coin also quickly returned to calm.

"Provoked?" This question couldn't help but pop up in Li Yi's mind.

Forget it.

Whatever.

Since the defective knife coin resentment didn't come to disturb his cultivation, that was also a good thing.

Time passed very quickly.

Unknowingly, it was already noon on the third day.

Three days of cultivation allowed Li Yi to shed two full layers of skin during this period. At the same time, he found that his senses had become even sharper. Even if he closed his eyes, he could walk freely at home relying on his body's perception.

Although on one hand, it was because he was very familiar with his home, on the other hand, it also proved that he was not far from opening Spirit Perception.

It was just that the evolution of the body was not achieved in one step. Even if your cultivation speed was fast, the adaptation of the body and the replacement of cells all required time.

After resting for a while, Li Yi drank a cup of golden nutrient solution to replenish his strength and prepared to continue cultivating.

But at this moment, his phone rang.

It was an emergency call from Wang Jian.

"Li Yi, it's me. Have you rested well these past few days?" As soon as the call connected, Wang Jian's voice came out.

Li Yi replied: "Wang Jian, is there something wrong?"

He knew that Wang Jian was usually very busy and wouldn't call him if there was nothing else.

"There's a mission, and I think it's best if you come along," Wang Jian said directly.

"A mission?" Li Yi didn't refuse and said immediately: "No problem, I'm leaving now. Where should we meet?"

"Just wait at the entrance of the residential area; I'll be there to pick you up soon." After saying this, Wang Jian hung up the phone immediately.

Seeing this situation, Li Yi prepared immediately, and after saying hello to his silent parents, he set off.

Since he had chosen to join the Investigation Bureau and become an external combatant, he had to accept the occasional mission.

Li Yi didn't feel there was any problem, so he never refused whenever Wang Jian called him.

Soon.

After standing at the entrance of the residential area for a while, Wang Jian's car drove over.

As soon as Li Yi got into the car, he found that Engineer Zheng and He Xiong were missing, and there were only Chen Hao, Wang Jian, and himself.

"This mission is to capture a Spirit Medium Realm cultivator named Huang Xin. This person killed someone in the Old City District and is now planning to flee to the Waste City District to hide. I happened to be patrolling in this area and suddenly received this mission. Thinking of being foolproof, I called you along the way." While driving, Wang Jian briefly explained this mission.

Chen Hao shook his head and said: "Wang Jian, you're being too cautious. That murderer named Huang Xin is all alone. Can't the two of us take him down?"

"A desperate and vicious person is not easy to deal with when they fight for their life. It's better to be steady," Wang Jian said: "Our lives as investigators are more valuable than theirs. When on a mission, we must also protect ourselves and not put ourselves in peril. Even if the two of us have confidence in taking down the opponent, if we add Li Yi, then it will be foolproof."

"Alright." Chen Hao shrugged.

Li Yi asked curiously: "By the way, what was the reason that Spirit Medium Realm cultivator named Huang Xin suddenly killed someone?"

Wang Jian said: "The matter is like this: the murderer Huang Xin had a girlfriend, and they had been dating for several years, reaching the point of talking about marriage. They were originally going to get married, but because the other party was a cultivator, the woman's side asked for a bride price of 3.88 million. Huang Xin couldn't come up with it, and the two had a dispute. I don't know how it happened, but they started fighting."

"You also know that when cultivators start fighting, where are ordinary people their opponents? By accident, he killed the person. But this Huang Xin is also ruthless enough; thinking that killing one is also killing, he simply wiped out the woman's entire family."

"There's such a thing?" Li Yi felt very surprised.

Wang Jian said: "This is considered normal. You'll know when you go on more missions."

Chen Hao said from the side: "I must find someone who doesn't want a bride price when I marry a wife in the future."

"Then you'd better stay single. There's no one in Tianchang City who doesn't want a bride price when getting married. Before the Heaven-Tilting Event, it was 388,000, and now it's even more expensive. Chen Hao, you're an outsider and don't understand; the water here is very deep." Wang Jian said casually.

"Damn, then I'll marry someone from out of town," Chen Hao said.

Wang Jian said: "Those from out of town also want a bride price."

"I don't believe it. As a Spirit Medium Realm cultivator and an external combatant of the Investigation Bureau, can't I find a woman who doesn't want a bride price?" Chen Hao was suddenly anxious.

"In the eyes of most people, you are indeed a cultivator with a bright future, but in the eyes of women, you are just a 'down-to-earth' man who doesn't pay a bride price." Wang Jian lit a cigarette and smoked.

"..."

One sentence silenced Chen Hao directly.

At this moment, he actually understood the murderer Huang Xin a little.

"Li Yi, tell me, is Tianchang City really like this?" After a long silence, Chen Hao looked at Li Yi again, hoping to get confirmation from his mouth.

"How would I know? I'm still just a child," Li Yi said.
