Although Li Yi obtained many unknown secrets from Hua Qing’s remnant soul, he did not lose his Dao heart because of this; instead, he felt an inexplicable sense of crisis after receiving these messages. However, seeing that this Sword Coin was still crazily absorbing Cosmic Energy, Li Yi thought it necessary to transfer the Sword Coin somewhere. At least, right now the Spiritual Energy in Tianchang City could not satisfy the needs for its recovery. After all, Tianchang City had painstakingly established a Grand Array, and the accumulated Cosmic Energy was meant for cultivation by cultivators and evolvers. Using it to feed the Sword Coin seemed a bit wasteful. Moreover, Li Yi was not willing to use polluted Cosmic Energy to nourish the Sword Coin, lest something unexpected happen one day. "I still need to make a trip back to the Barbaric World. Only the Spiritual Energy there can meet the Sword Coin’s needs, and it’s relatively safe." Li Yi mused to himself. Now with Immortal Dao Battleships capable of cross-border travel, going back and forth wouldn’t take much time. But just at this moment. Suddenly. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩 A celestial crane formed by mana flew over from the direction of the Tao Court, seemingly carrying some important message. Just as Li Yi was about to leave, he saw the celestial crane and immediately felt a sense of foreboding. When the crane approached, it immediately transformed into a beam of light that landed in Li Yi’s hand, and he then received the message it carried. "A request for help from Xuan Yuezi? How is this possible; Xuan Yuezi was in the Tao Court earlier, wait, no... she should have already crossed over to the End of Dharma Cultivation World by now. Is this message coming from the End of Dharma Cultivation World?" Li Yi furrowed his brow, becoming more puzzled. The End of Dharma Cultivation World had exhausted Spiritual Energy and had degenerated to a mundane status. Even masters in the Tri-Floral Realm were nearly losing their level, with not a trace of mana. In such a world, how could Xuan Yuezi, with her Great Perfection level of cultivation, possibly encounter trouble requiring aid? She could crush that entire world alone. But precisely because it was so unreasonable, Li Yi paid great attention to it; for there must be something strange with such an anomaly. "Let’s go check out the End of Dharma Cultivation World, and if everything is fine, we’ll proceed to the Barbaric World. If Xuan Yuezi really encounters any trouble, it’ll be good to help solve it." Li Yi immediately boarded the Immortal Dao Battleship. "Red Girl, start the battleship, prepare for cross-border travel," he ordered. The Immortal Dao Battleship immediately erupted with energy, and various grand arrays within began to operate, instantly transforming into a stream of light rushing towards the sky. However, before it flew far, the main cannon of the battleship suddenly shot out a beam forward, forcibly tearing through the void and opening a Cross-border Gate. The Immortal Dao Battleship instantly dove into it, disappearing directly into the sky, and as it vanished, the Cross-border Gate immediately closed, as if nothing had happened. The sixth generation of Intelligent Brain Hongji, combined with cultivation and artifact refining techniques, along with modifications by Tian Gong Taoist, made this Immortal Dao Battleship truly perfect. It could cross borders, attack, defend, and contain countless dimensions, capable of accommodating tens of thousands. The Immortal Dao Battleship arrived above the End of Dharma Cultivation World. Without waiting for Li Yi to speak, the battleship’s perception array and radar activated, immediately scanning this world. "Master, 1,300 kilometers away, strong Cosmic Energy fluctuations have been detected," Red Girl’s voice sounded. "Let’s go take a look," Li Yi said. What a surprise; where did such strong energy fluctuations come from in the End of Dharma Cultivation World? The Immortal Dao Battleship instantly transformed into a streak of light, swiftly flying towards the source of the energy fluctuations. As the battleship got closer, Li Yi noticed signs of battle in the sky. That powerful energy fluctuation was the aftermath of a battle. "It’s a clash between Great Perfection level experts," Li Yi’s gaze deepened slightly: "Could it be that there are other Great Perfection experts in this End of Dharma world?" In the distant expanse of sky. "Xuan Yuezi, give up, don’t make futile struggles. We descended from Outer Heaven not to battle you to the death, but to seek a chance for cross-border travel. You’ve already taken so many cultivators away from this world; why not treat us equally?" An old Taoist, clad in a Daoist robe, with Three Flowers blooming and Five Qi enveloping, stepping on rays of light, said coldly. "Xuan Yuezi, you are one of the Seven Immortals of the Heavenly Dao Sect and should know my identity. My Tao title is Jiang Chengzi, and in terms of seniority, you should call me grand master. Today you strike at me, your grand master; do you intend to betray your teachers and elders?" Another Daoist garbed in purple robe said indifferently. But before he finished speaking, Xuan Yuezi coldly spat: "Grand master? You dare claim such a title? During the End of Dharma era, you Great Perfection experts left for Outer Heaven, abandoning countless disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect to suffer for years. Who knows how many older brothers and sisters died in meditation; where was the grand master then? Now you’ve sensed the Spirit Energy of the Treasure Court and disgracefully returned from Outer Heaven, even shamelessly ambushing me." "If I weren’t also in the Great Perfection level, I’d almost fall to your plot." Having finished, she glared angrily, recalling the earlier scene with a shiver. Who could have expected that a full six Great Perfection-level cultivation experts would lie in wait near that valley? Even Master Zi Yu didn’t perceive them. Had it been anyone with slightly weaker power, they would have been severely injured and captured, with their Cross-border Machine stolen. However, Jiang Chengzi and the others also did not expect, after waiting so long, that the one coming through the opened Cross-border Gate would also be a Great Perfection, leading to this standoff instead of an immediate win over Xuan Yuezi. "Furthermore, Jiang Chengzi, you being of the Heavenly Dao Sect, why ally with members of the Tianyi Sect? Are you unaware that the Tianyi Sect has always been adversarial to the Heavenly Dao Sect? After the arrival of the Dharma Decline, many disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect were killed by the Tianyi Sect, and even the Goddess nearly perished at their hands." Afterward, Xuan Yuezi’s gaze fixed on an old Taoist. That Taoist named Tianyunzi, was a Grand Master Elder of the Tianyi Sect, who fled to Outer Heaven during the Dharma Decline. As for the other Great Perfection experts present, they too were ancestors of various sects. Jiang Chengzi remained calm, saying, "For a cultivator, achieving Dao is the most important; what grudges can’t be resolved? Xuan Yuezi, I have little patience for lecturing, but, considering our same sect, if you hand over the Cross-border Technique, we will leave you alone. Otherwise, don’t blame your grand master for clearing the sect." "Is it impatience or depletion? The stronger you are, the more Spiritual Energy this world seizes. You’ve returned from Outer Heaven and waited so long for me; how much strength remains?" Xuan Yuezi sneered, "Moreover, the Heavenly Dao Sect is extinct, and I’m no longer a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Now, I’m one of the Seven Immortals under the Taiyi Heavenly Venerate; ’betraying your teachers and elders’ doesn’t apply to me." As she spoke, a crescent moon-like weapon surrounded by moonlight materialized around her, emitting a formidable Demon King aura. "If you wish to fight, come forth; I’ll pull you along the road with me if need be." Xuan Yuezi remained unafraid, her icy demeanor laced with killing intent. The six Great Perfection experts from Outer Heaven fell silent upon witnessing this scene. Unexpectedly, this Immortal of the Heavenly Dao Sect was so fierce, ready to confront six alone. However, that treasure disc was truly terrifying, comparable to an Enlightenment Artifact, capable of overwhelming a same-level expert with one strike. Yet, in this End of Dharma world, no matter how great the divine weapon, how many times could it be wielded? They simply did not wish to be pulled by Xuan Yuezi into going down together, and importantly, they sought the Cross-border Technique, not a grand battle here; otherwise, even in victory, they might be too depleted to return to Outer Heaven. "Indecision leads to chaos; cross-border travel entails risk. We only need to hold her off; I’ve already requested reinforcements from Outer Heaven, with other Great Perfection Dao friends soon to arrive," Tianyunzi transmitted secretly. "Hopefully other Dao friends hurry; Xuan Yuezi comes from a world rich in Spiritual Energy, her three Tao Flowers pristine and her foundation far superior to ours, and she wields a divine weapon. In battle, it truly may not be possible to defeat her," the other Great Perfection cultivators mused. Facing Xuan Yuezi, they also felt intimidated. It’s fortunate enough that Xuan Yuezi was alone; they could still impose. If another Great Perfection arrived, the six would have to flee, as their mana dwindled with use, and a prolonged fight would expose their weakness. Xuan Yuezi also perceived their intention, but wasn’t she too waiting for reinforcements? Facing six alone gave no certainty of triumph, though time worked in her favor. The longer the delay, the more the opponent’s mana drained; even without reinforcements, her victory chances increased. After all, she possessed a miracle, replenishing her mana, whereas her foes could not.
