After his hand fell, he observed carefully and meticulously. "A very peculiar artifact, like a Miracle, capable of emitting an energy field, yet different from a Miracle, this is a man-made treasure... and the crafting technique is quite ancient." Tu Daoist analyzed the Sword Coin as an Artifact Refiner. He observed very intently, especially at the two inscriptions on the Sword Coin, which contained immense and extraordinary power. Unfortunately, the Sword Coin was broken, causing the power in the inscriptions to dissipate. But even so, the remaining power was still quite unusual. "You inherently wicked Earth people, attempting to spy on this old man... Wait, you’re not an Earth person, you’re a Cultivator? And your strength is quite formidable, actually at the Tri-Floral Realm? Isn’t your Cultivation World in the End of Dharma, yet there are still Tri-Floral Realm experts alive, and you’ve crossed over to Earth." Suddenly, a remnant thought was awakened within the broken Sword Coin by Tu Daoist. Tu Daoist’s eyes narrowed slightly: "A remnant soul residing in the Sword Coin? You actually know about the End of Dharma Cultivation World and recognize my top Three Flowers, have you been to my world?" "I’ve been to many worlds, not just your Cultivation World." The remnant soul said. "Did not expect it to be a Cross-border traveler." Tu Daoist remarked. "Cross-border traveler? I am not a Cross-border traveler; I am an Ascender who shattered the void." The remnant soul said coldly, "You, Daoist, have only opened one flower, discussing Broken Void with you is like playing music to a cow; only the Enlightened ones in your world are worthy of talking to me." "Haha, you think you can deceive me with a few words, mere remnant soul, I can destroy you with ease in a moment." Tu Daoist laughed at this moment. He had cultivated for hundreds of years, experienced the End of Dharma, and crossed over to Earth, having weathered the highs and lows, how could he be intimidated by a mere remnant soul? "Taiyi, this remnant soul here indeed is somewhat peculiar, you should be careful not to be deceived by him, he has crossed worlds many times and knows many things about various worlds, If you are somewhat inexperienced, you could really be misled by him, as I see it, it would be best to destroy this remnant soul." Tu Daoist then advised Li Yi. Li Yi said: "This matter I leave to the Daoist as you see fit, I just hope the Daoist can repair this Sword Coin as soon as possible." Tu Daoist said: "Rest assured Taiyi, I will do my utmost to repair this treasure, but it will take some time." "That’s fine; just let me know when it’s repaired." Li Yi said, "I only feel this Sword Coin contains some secrets, and if we can uncover them it would be best." "If there are secrets, I will pry open this remnant soul’s mouth and make sure he reveals everything." Tu Daoist said, evidently confident in his interrogation methods. After all, sometimes refining artifacts and refining people are quite similar. Li Yi nodded: "Then I leave it in your hands Daoist." "Just a trifling matter." Tu Daoist smiled and said. After Li Yi entrusted the Sword Coin, he didn’t stay to continue disturbing Tu Daoist in artifact refining; he was very busy, and Li Yi himself needed to find a place to continue his transformation. After he left, he was preparing to return to the section of the defense line he was responsible for. A voice called out to him. "Li Yi, wait a moment." Turning around, he saw Xiao Jianguo, the person in charge of the Earth Defense Line, and several others flying over. "Is there something you need?" Li Yi stopped and asked. Xiao Jianguo smiled: "Nothing in particular, just happened to run into you, your performance in the last battle was excellent, you held such a large section of the line by yourself and even killed several Sky Demons. For such accomplishments, you truly deserve a reward, but as you know, the defense line just suffered a major attack, and there’s much to handle, so the matter of reward will have to be postponed for now, I hope you don’t mind." "It’s alright, I’m not here for the reward." Li Yi said, "But my time on the defense line is almost up, not many days left, I hope I’ll be allowed to leave smoothly when the time comes." "Of course, what I promised won’t change, but before that, there’s one thing I hope you can help with." Xiao Jianguo. Li Yi’s expression shifted slightly. Sure enough, Xiao Jianguo seeking him was unlikely to be for something good. "Wondering what you need from me?" Li Yi asked. Xiao Jianguo then seriously stated: "The Demon God Realm defense line has been silent for a while, the detectors have not registered any high-intensity energy reactions, I have reason to suspect something is amiss there, even the Great Demons seem absent from the line, but technology is limited, so the best approach is to form a small team to proactively investigate." "Better to test the reality of the Demon God Realm defense line, Li Yi, your strength is great, so I hope you can join this mission." Li Yi responded: "Wouldn’t it be better to have those capable of combating the Great Demons handle this?" "They are injured, it’s inconvenient, and such powerful figures appearing in the Demon God Realm would undoubtedly alert other Demon Kings, causing unnecessary trouble. So it’s best to send experts whose strength is comparable to Sky Demons to investigate, this way they can protect themselves without alarming the other side." Xiao Jianguo explained his reasoning. "There is some logic to that." Li Yi said: "But I’m responsible for the matters on the defense line, fear I don’t have time for this mission." However, he was politely declining. It’s not that Li Yi feared danger, but he was in a transformation and didn’t want more trouble. Xiao Jianguo said: "Li Yi, I know you’ve been focused on cultivation, prolonged stationing at the defense line is bound to hinder your progress, if you complete this mission, I’ll allow you to leave the line; you know as well, a run to the Demon God Realm defense line could only take an hour or two, while there is danger, it allows you to complete your task early." Li Yi thought for a moment, then asked: "Besides me, who else will be part of this mission?" "Ji Wu, Wang Hu, Aisi, if you include yourself, that makes four." Xiao Jianguo said. Li Yi couldn’t help but smile: "All experts capable of combating Sky Demons, this mission is indeed making a considerable effort." "We have no choice; the situation on the Demon God Realm side remains unknown, especially after a battle, we have no idea of their arrangements, if we could gather some crucial intelligence, it would help in subsequent planning." Xiao Jianguo said: "It’s precisely because of this that we place great importance on this operation." "If there are Great Demons on that defense line, we four are going to our deaths." Li Yi said. A colleague beside him seriously stated: "There are absolutely no Great Demons, the energy detectors have checked countless times, and none have registered Great Demon energy fluctuations, and even Wu Yong hasn’t sensed any Great Demon presence." Li Yi was moved: "So certain? If it’s wrong, it could cost lives." "I’m willing to stake my life on it." The Evolver said very seriously, evidently the one responsible for monitoring the Demon God Realm line. "I too can vouch, there are no Great Demons on the opposite line." Xiao Jianguo also stated. Seeing this, Li Yi briefly contemplated and said: "If the other side’s line lacks Great Demons, I can accept this task after all—running over and back won’t take much time—when does the action begin?" "In half an hour." Xiao Jianguo said, also relieved. Li Yi agreeing was ideal, as finding others for this mission was indeed challenging; after all, not many Evolvers have the record of killing Sky Demons.
