After Li Yi finished arranging all the cultivators, he returned to his home in Tianchang City. Peace Finance Building. The building was deserted, with overgrown weeds and even several unknown trees lush and verdant, giving the impression of being abandoned for decades, despite it not being long ago. It was hard to imagine that this used to be a building full of technological vibes. This was due to the high concentration of Spiritual Energy on Earth, which caused plants to grow rapidly. Without human management, even a city could quickly be eroded by nature. Li Yi glanced around and cast a spell, swiftly clearing the surrounding weeds and dirt. As he attempted to enter the building. Suddenly, the tightly closed doors of the building opened. "Master, welcome home." A woman’s voice sounded, revealing a slender, blue-haired humanoid robot at the entrance, smiling sweetly. "Intelligent Computer Lan Ji." Li Yi was momentarily stunned by this sight. He never expected that Lan Ji’s mainframe would still be left inside the building. But upon further thought, he understood. Having someone stay behind in the building would undoubtedly be unrealistic, akin to a death sentence. However, leaving an AI behind was the most suitable choice. After all, when Zheng Lan and the others fled to the Four Seas and Eight Continents, the Intelligent Computer Lan Ji wasn’t usable, so leaving it at home was a viable option. Li Yi walked into the building and discovered it was clean and tidy inside, with many signs of maintenance, indicating that Lan Ji had been maintaining the building’s condition, although she hadn’t touched the outside. Obviously, someone had ordered Lan Ji to stay inside the building, forbidding her from going out to avoid danger. "Lan Ji, why didn’t I see you when I entered the building last time?" Li Yi suddenly asked. The most update n0vels are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩 He had been here before, but only briefly toured and couldn’t find Lan Ji. "Master, I was in hibernation for a while and only reactivated when the building’s power supply was reconnected." Lan Ji explained with a smile. "So that’s how it is." Li Yi suddenly remembered that the building was without electricity when he last visited, but now, it was powered, clearly due to some restoration of order in Tianchang City. If there had been no water or electricity, it would have meant the city had fallen, and activating Lan Ji would have been futile. "However, this building’s main structure is damaged, with many broken areas. Its maintenance isn’t very meaningful. When I have time, I’ll have to rebuild it, best done by having Tian Gong Taoist refine a new Dao Artifact." Li Yi pondered, looking at the familiar surroundings, with a sigh. He still remembered how joyful he was when he first acquired this building, not only gaining a new home but also a secure place to cultivate. Yet, in the blink of an eye, things have changed beyond recognition. However, until a new home is rebuilt, this place can serve as a temporary resting spot. "Lan Ji, who is currently in charge of managing Tianchang City?" Li Yi suddenly inquired. To have the city restore order under these circumstances, with water and electricity, there must be some capable person behind it, or else it would have been chaotic long ago. "According to the information I received, Tianchang City is currently managed by the Cultivator Association, with Li Shaqing as its head." Lan Ji replied. Immediately, an old memory floated to the forefront of Li Yi’s mind. He knew Li Shaqing, who used to be the vice president of the Cultivator Association with a strong cultivation talent. After joining the Golden Academy, he disappeared from the scene, which led Li Yi to speculate he most likely crossed to another realm. Unexpectedly, Li Shaqing has returned now. And judging by the timeline, he returned right after the Demon God Realm’s invasion. "I thought that once Li Shaqing crossed over, he’d never return, but he chose to come back at the most critical moment to protect Tianchang City." Li Yi reflected. Although he has now driven away the Demon King’s forces from the Demon God Realm, Li Shaqing returned when their forces were at their strongest, requiring immense courage to stay in Tianchang City at that time. Li Yi asked Lan Ji more questions about Tianchang City, and while some of the information was known to Lan Ji, other parts were not. After all, as a fourth-generation AI, she was confined within the building, getting external information only through signal reception. The city’s signal had only recently been restored, hence Lan Ji couldn’t access much data. "Forget it, continue executing the previous orders and maintain the building well. I’ll allow you to operate around the building." Li Yi then updated the instructions, lifting some restrictions on Lan Ji. "Understood, Master." Lan Ji’s smile remained. Li Yi then went to the top floor of the building to cultivate. While his physical strength and mana had recovered during those days at the Earth Defense Line, his Primordial Spirit Dharma was still not fully recuperated from forcefully wielding that Physical Bodhisattva. "Once Xuan Yuezi and the others finish establishing the Tao Court, I’ll make a trip to the Four Seas and Eight Continents to temporarily bring them back. Although the Four Seas and Eight Continents is safe, its thin spiritual aura is not conducive to cultivation. Moreover, with several dozen cultivators stationed here, safety is assured." He sat with eyes closed, revealing his Primordial Spirit Dharma as a Red Lotus bloomed with radiance, nurturing his Primordial Spirit continuously. If it weren’t for the Red Lotus, Li Yi’s Primordial Spirit Dharma wouldn’t have progressed so quickly. However, after this period, Li Yi felt it necessary to visit that Mysterious Land where time flies rapidly, using its time warp to break through to the Tri-Floral Realm in one go. The area around Tianchang City was bustling with activities. A group of cultivation experts surveyed the geomantic trends and celestial positions, finally settling on the location for the Tao Court. They then employed Great Methods to alter the terrain, shifting mountains and filling seas, initiating massive construction. Such a large-scale commotion naturally attracted the attention of every Evolver within Tianchang City. "What’s happening? Suddenly, the ground is shaking. Are Great Demons from the Demon God Realm attacking Tianchang City again?" "It’s not the aura of Great Demons. I see many experts flying in the sky; they look like cultivators from the Xuanxian Continent." "I hope the city isn’t facing danger again." Facing such an anomaly, many people are in panic. Originally, they couldn’t escape in time and were stuck in Tianchang City, living in constant fear. Later, they heard that a strong figure named Yang Wei had provided protection here, so the Great Demons of the Demon God Realm chose to spare this city. This allowed them to escape death once. They thought that with Li Shaqing of the Cultivator Association returning, managing Tianchang City, things would improve somewhat. But today’s commotion rekindled fear in many people’s hearts. Several figures rushed out from a place in Tianchang City. These individuals were extraordinary, not losing to the Great Demons, currently gazing towards where the disturbance was coming from. "At least dozens of cultivators, they seem to be setting up a base, and each one is terrifyingly strong, but they are definitely not cultivators from the Xuanxian Continent. Identifying the aura of that group of cultivators is easy." Li Shaqing stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze cold, staring at the sky outside the city. After observing for a while, he came to a conclusion. "President, some of them look like Earthlings, should we go and ask them?" a nearby Evolver whispered. Li Shaqing hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "For now, let’s leave it. Wait until they’ve completed setting up their base before we pay them a visit. They are likely friends, not foes. Tianchang City is close to the Demon God Realm, so if they were foreign world strongmen crossing over, they wouldn’t choose to base here." "By the way, have the Intelligent Computer ask the survival base if there’s any information on these people. Recently, global signals have been quickly recovering. I think this is related to that big battle the other day, but we’re few and weak, and not qualified to be involved in battles of that level." "Just arrange for some people to keep watch in turns, maintain stability, don’t cause panic. I believe the order on Earth will be restored; this is our home, and we must protect it well." As Li Shaqing and other members of the Cultivator Association were chatting. From the direction of the Xuanxian Continent. A streaming light rushed towards Tianchang City. This anomaly was not only seen by Li Shaqing and others but also by the cultivation experts busy outside Tianchang City. "That’s Cang Erzi’s aura..." Daoists Shenxu, Yuan Yang, Wu the Taoist, and others immediately relaxed their vigilance. Since it was Cang Erzi’s mana, there was no need to pay attention. However, this mana, after reaching above Tianchang City, suddenly turned and headed straight for the top floor of the Peace Finance Building. Li Yi, who was in the midst of cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes. Seeing the incoming mana, he immediately reached out and grabbed it. A storage ring appeared in his hand. "Sent by Cang Erzi," Li Yi paused for a moment. He then explored the storage ring and was immediately surprised. Inside, it contained many treasures from the Xuanxian Continent, including top-grade spirit stones, materials for refining immortal artifacts, complete immortal cultivation legacies, including magic doors to cultivate to True Immortal level, and various spells, alchemical recipes, artifact refining, and formations. To put it bluntly, this storage ring represented the essence of the Xuanxian Continent’s cultivation world. Cang Erzi had indeed gathered a lot of good stuff quietly over the years. Among them, a box of elixirs caught Li Yi’s attention. Seeing this kind of elixir, Li Yi’s thoughts immediately returned to his time at the Golden Academy. Back then, he had snatched such elixirs from a cultivator. Consuming them reduced your lifespan by ten years, but in return, your body would traverse ten years in a short time. It’s a kind of elixir that accelerates cultivation. Back then, Li Yi had even reminded Cang Erzi to help him collect such elixirs. Apparently, Cang Erzi remembered this in his heart and did not forget the promise. Just that the last time the war started very suddenly, he probably didn’t keep these resources by his side and specifically sent them back after returning to the Xuanxian Continent this time. "I wonder if at my current level, the Time Erosion Pill would still have any effect." Li Yi picked up a Time Erosion Pill and finally swallowed it. He wanted to test its efficacy. Li Yi felt his body undergoing changes, his qi-blood consuming rapidly, and his demand for cosmic energy quickly increasing, but he restrained the urge and did not recklessly absorb cosmic energy from Earth. Because Earth’s energy pollution problem remains unsolved. Li Yi genuinely wanted to see if his Primordial Spirit Dharma would be affected by the Time Erosion Pill, allowing ten years to pass in an instant. This way, he wouldn’t have to specifically go to mysterious lands to cultivate. However, unfortunately. Although ten years passed for the physical body, the Primordial Spirit Dharma was not affected. "Sure enough, the Time Erosion Pill is no longer effective for me at this stage," Li Yi thought silently to himself. His physical cultivation was no longer lacking, but it was his Primordial Spirit cultivation that he was missing. Only by quickly blooming the Three Flowers on top could he possess Demon King level combat power. However, this Time Erosion Pill is still very useful for cultivating Divine Blood Warriors. It’s especially effective for training warriors like Long Yu, the exotic blood warrior he brought back this time. With the help of the Time Erosion Pill, he could quickly become a Mountain Lord level expert. This is the benefit brought by the complementarity of different worlds.
