A new group of masters naturally had to meet Li Yi on the defense line, just as Su Mu had once led him here when he first arrived. However, when Zhang Tianfan saw the silent Tianyi Palace, he frowned slightly and showed some displeasure: "This grand hall is actually a treasure. It might look small, but it has a hidden Grotto Heaven, and a massive amount of nature’s spiritual energy is converging here. It’s obviously man-made, so Li Yi must be inside the hall." "It seems he doesn’t want to respond to us, perhaps trying to show us some authority." "We came here to support him, to help guard the defense line, so it’s illogical for him to have such an attitude towards us." The woman with the treasure sword at her waist spoke. Her name was Lin Qi, and she seemed to know Zhang Tianfan. "I asked the intelligence brain to investigate this Li Yi. He’s indeed not a simple person. It was due to him that the Golden Academy and Xuanxian Continent had a clash initially. Till now, cultivators from Xuanxian Continent are still hunting him, yet Li Yi is still alive, and he survived a cross-border battle with the Great Demon of the Demon God Realm. His strength must be terrifying." "It’s normal for a person of this caliber to have some temperament." The man named Xu Changke said. He wore a long robe, looking like an ancient hero with restrained sharpness and exceptional demeanor. His strength wasn’t simple either, being at the Spirit God Realm with traces of multiple cultivation methods. "Let’s not speculate blindly. Maybe he’s just cultivating, and we disturbed him with our sudden arrival." Another formidable woman said. Zhang Tianfan said, "Let’s wait a bit more. If this Li Yi still refuses to show himself, we won’t bother him. Let’s just take over the defense line ourselves; each to his own, avoiding mutual trouble." "That’s good too. We’re here for the task, not to make acquaintances. It’s best if we don’t interfere with each other." Many nodded in approval of Zhang Tianfan’s suggestion. The group waited for a while. However, Li Yi did not emerge from Tianyi Palace, because he was currently undergoing a transformation. Unless it was something significant, he generally preferred not to interrupt his cultivation. Seeing Li Yi not appear, the newcomers on the defense line didn’t insist. They began familiarizing themselves with the place and roughly planned a 24-hour rotation to guard the defense line. They encountered a problem. The defense line was too large and too long; relying on just the ten of them, it was impossible to fortify the entire line. If they dispersed, they’d become weak, and in case of danger, they couldn’t support each other in time. The most crucial issue was that they didn’t have a single foothold. Without a safe foothold, it meant they had to stay alert constantly, even while resting, against attacks from the Demon God Realm. If it were short-term, it’d be manageable, but if it prolonged, it’d be unbearable." "The hall where Li Yi resides is a great foothold and it’s a treasure; staying inside must be safe." Zhang Tianfan quickly focused again on Tianyi Palace. "But we don’t know if this treasure belongs to Li Yi, or if it was already here on the defense line." "It’s likely Li Yi’s treasure, but since he didn’t respond to us, borrowing his treasure for a foothold might be challenging." Xu Changke, beside him, said. Zhang Tianfan said, "Since we’re here to guard the defense line, borrowing his place shouldn’t be hard, and this hall is large enough to accommodate us. I’ll go talk to him." Saying this, Zhang Tianfan, carrying the ancient Battle Blade, strode toward Tianyi Palace. "I’ll go with you." The woman named Lin Qi said. Zhang Tianfan nodded and didn’t refuse. Soon, the two flew into Tianyi Palace. They found the hall wasn’t secured at all, seemingly open to outsiders, and it was very spacious. Glowing with talismans’ divine light around, these talismans served as walls, sealing everything around. "Such a dense cosmic energy." Zhang Tianfan was somewhat shocked. Beside him, Lin Qi said, "Such cosmic energy can’t be gathered just by cultivators alone. There must be a Miracle inside the hall, and a complete Miracle at that. Only a Miracle’s energy field can reach this level of cosmic energy here." "A complete Miracle? Li Yi is generous, using a complete Miracle for cultivation." Zhang Tianfan couldn’t help but marvel. Even he only possessed a few incomplete Miracles. If one had a complete Miracle, it would mean the gate to cross worlds was open, especially with frequent Sky Tipping incidents nowadays, needing a complete Miracle as the energy source for the cross-border machine. However, marveling aside. Zhang Tianfan shouted, "Li Yi, are you there? We’re evolvers sent to support the defense line. I want to borrow this place as a foothold. If you don’t object, consider it agreed." The voice echoed within Tianyi Palace. Yet, moments later, from the depths of the hall came a steady and powerful footstep sound. There, the talismans had sealed it, preventing others from entering unless they could break the Dao Artifact’s defenses. "You’re too noisy, chattering like women. You disturbed my cultivation, you know?" As those footsteps appeared, a voice followed. Then, a young man dressed in Red Feather Purple Gold Armor appeared, draped in lightning, carrying Dragon and Tiger Energy, and surrounded by Five-Colored Radiance, striding forward. Even before approaching, one could feel an overwhelming aura suffocatingly pressing against them. This aura caused Zhang Tianfan’s eyes to suddenly narrow, his whole body involuntarily trembling. "This is Li Yi, but why is his strength so formidable..." Upon truly encountering Li Yi, Zhang Tianfan finally understood the vast disparity in strength between them. Just the aura itself crazily alerted one’s soul. Clearly, he himself was a master of the Spirit God Realm, proficient in multiple methods, capable of contending even against a Sky Demon. "We, we didn’t do it on purpose." The woman named Lin Qi immediately became tense, then quickly apologized. "Not on purpose, then you deliberately came to disturb me?" Li Yi glanced indifferently: "Furthermore, this hall is my private property. To enter, you need to notify me in advance, not just barging in carelessly ." "Such ignorance of the rules, if it were someone with a worse temper, they’d have directly thrown you out." "You’re right, we were reckless. Please forgive us." Zhang Tianfan immediately apologized. Lin Qi looked at Zhang Tianfan with some surprise. It was known that Zhang Tianfan was not this kind of person normally, yet in front of Li Yi, he showed no temper, apologizing directly, fearing to anger the man before them. "Your attitude is acceptable. Let’s go. Let me see what kind of people have come to support this defense line this time." Li Yi said calmly. Zhang Tianfan remained silent, merely following behind. Li Yi walked out of the Tianyi Palace. Afterward, he saw that many cultivators indeed remained near the grand hall. Their numbers perfectly totaled ten, and each evolver’s strength was not weak. Although unable to slay a Sky Demon, they, at least, should be capable of self-preservation against one. After all, without such strength, even coming to the defense line would serve no purpose. On Earth, managing to gather such a group of cultivators and assign them to the section under Li Yi’s charge was no easy feat. However, the appearance of Li Yi also drew everyone’s attention. They scrutinized the unfamiliar man before them. "Is he Li Yi? This aura is indeed terrifying, not on the same level as me at all. From such a distance, my soul is already alerting. He looks young, and hasn’t been cultivating for long, yet why is the gap so large?" Xu Changke’s heart shivered, his expression riddled with solemnity. He was considered a genius cultivator, yet in front of Li Yi, he felt enormous pressure. "No wonder he can battle Sky Demons. Having such strength, it’s normal to slay them. I just don’t know what kind of cultivation method he mastered to achieve such accomplishments." "Is he the Li Yi who dares to challenge the Xuanxian Continent’s cultivators?" When everyone saw Li Yi appear, their thoughts varied. But none were not surprised by the powerful aura he exuded, leading them to feel fortunate to share the same defense line with such an individual. "Are you the evolvers assigned to guard this section of the defense line?" Li Yi glanced over: "On Earth, possessing such strength is commendable, considered masters, but here it’s still not enough." "Before coming, did you learn anything about the Demon God Realm? What level of demon beast do you think you can handle on the battlefield, Earth Demon or Sky Demon?" "Li Yi, although I’ve never fought a Sky Demon, I believe with my strength I can maneuver with one without losing." Lin Qi, holding the treasure sword at her waist, said. Li Yi gave a glance: "Without you saying that, I would’ve believed you had the strength to maneuver with a Sky Demon, but just from your previous statement, the Sky Demon would slay you within three moves." Lin Qi’s eyes flickered and then furrowed, evidently not believing it. It’s known she is a multi-method Spirit God Realm expert, holding a Treasure-level Flying Sword, crossing realms in battle as easily as eating and drinking. Li Yi said calmly: "In the Demon God Realm, those who become Sky Demons emerge after repeated life-and-death trials. Under similar conditions, Sky Demons almost always win. Moreover, you’re facing them with weakness, overconfidence. I can’t fathom any reason you’d survive against a Sky Demon." Upon initially arriving here, he also believed he could contend with Sky Demons, but realized on the first attempt just how formidable Sky Demon combat prowess is. Any slight flaw means instant doom at the Sky Demon’s hands. Furthermore, when facing formidable adversaries, Sky Demons don’t show carelessness. They join forces with others to besiege, leaving no chance for counterattack.
