When Xiao Jianguo arrived and saw the Sky Demon lying on the ground, he was instantly delighted. A living Sky Demon would surely provide valuable intelligence, which would be greatly beneficial for understanding the Demon God Realm. "Good, very good, Li Yi, I’m glad I didn’t misjudge you. You’ve made a great contribution. I didn’t expect you to capture a Sky Demon so quickly. This Sky Demon must know the trends from the Demon God Realm." Xiao Jianguo said with a pleased expression. Li Yi said, "Extracting information from a Sky Demon is not an easy task." "Don’t worry, Li Yi, we have our methods. There are many cross-border entities on Earth, and some are skilled in interrogation techniques, such as those from the Xuanxian Continent, and there’s also the so-called Soul Searching Technique." Xiao Jianguo said, clearly confident in prying open the Sky Demon’s mouth. "That’s good. Now that the task is completed, it’s time for me to leave. The Demon God Realm currently shows no intention of attacking Earth, so I must take this time to enhance my strength." Li Yi said. Xiao Jianguo responded straightforwardly: "Of course, since we previously agreed, I won’t break the promise. You’ve worked hard to guard the defense line, and if you ever need help, just ask. If I can, I’ll definitely assist." "That’s not necessary. It’s only right for me to contribute. After all, my hometown is Tianchang City, not far from here. If Great Demons cross the border, my hometown would be the first to suffer attacks. Although the war has subsided for now, I have a premonition that similar wars will occur, and only by enhancing our strength can we face future disasters." Li Yi gazed towards the direction of the Demon God Realm. He had a premonition that the so-called Sky Moon Demon King would not spare Earth, and the next conflict might be a battle of Demon King level. Such a level of battle could truly be world-destroying. "I must go now. I hope all remains well here." He then withdrew his gaze and said to Xiao Jianguo: "If there’s ever a great danger, you can notify me. If I can return, I’ll definitely lend a hand." "Thank you." Xiao Jianguo expressed his gratitude. Li Yi nodded and, without further words, used the Cloud-Riding Technique to fly toward Earth. Since everything was handed over clearly, there was no reason for him to stay. He had already contributed in this battle, destroying several Sky Demons, and summoned Xuan Yuezi to help, slaying five Great Demons. Such achievements were worthy enough for the Earth’s side. As Wu the Taoist said, the war between the two realms is not something he alone can control. It’s enough to act within one’s capability, as trying to shoulder everything would only exhaust Li Yi here. Even if Li Yi were to exhaust himself in one crisis after another, it wouldn’t change the overall situation. Because one person’s power is limited. Li Yi also took this advice, so after contributing his part, he immediately left the defense line to cultivate. If crisis arises again in the future, he wouldn’t mind helping once more. After leaving the Earth Defense Line, he felt much lighter, as if a burden had been lifted. The Cloud-Riding Technique was deployed. Li Yi soared through the sky, not hurrying his journey, and took this opportunity to overlook Earth’s landscape. However, this land now appeared exceptionally unfamiliar due to the excessive Cosmic Energy. The mountains and trees had undergone tremendous changes. He saw a mountain peak that was purple, like beautiful jade, shimmering with light. Nourished by Cosmic Energy, it seemed to be forming a Spirit Vein, nurturing some strange stones. He also saw trees growing rapidly, reaching over a hundred meters high, lush and robust. Though they bore no fruit, at this moment, delicious fruits hung down. In the river, water surged, nurturing many mountain treasures, and extraordinary creatures frolicked in the water. If not for the traces of cities and roads, Li Yi might have doubted whether he had entered a strange cultivation world. Li Yi arrived at Tianchang City again. He didn’t choose to stay long in Tianchang City but handed over the Sky Demon’s corpses from the Five Elements Bracelet to Nun Liu, hoping she could help refine some elixirs. "The remains of a Sky Demon are indeed good materials for refining elixirs, but it will take some time to make elixirs. If Taiyi isn’t in a hurry, you can wait a few days." Nun Liu said. "I can come back for the elixirs later, it’s the same." Li Yi said, "This trip to the Demon God Realm’s defense line, while somewhat rewarding, also made me deeply aware of my lack of strength. I need to find a place to cultivate and strive to reach the Five Qi Chaoyuan realm." "Do you need the protection of a Tri-Floral Realm expert? If you’re short of manpower, you can return to the Cultivation World." Nun Liu suggested. Li Yi said, "If needed, I’ll seek the help of Immortal Xuan Yuezi. For now, I don’t need assistance from seniors in the Cultivation World." He felt that only when he reached the Five Qi Chaoyuan realm could he carry a large number of Tri-Floral Realm experts across borders. For now, he had to be cautious and not act recklessly. Matters involving Tri-Floral Realm experts could not be taken lightly. "That’s good, with Xuan Yuezi’s protection, I can be at ease." Nun Liu nodded. After all, she had also cast the Sacrifice Spell. If Taiyi was in trouble, she would die too, so she hoped Taiyi wouldn’t risk his life. After giving a few words of instruction, Li Yi decided not to linger long, planning to stay in Tianchang City for two days before heading to the Wilderness World, so he intended to take advantage of these two days to meet acquaintances and reminisce. However, just as he walked out the door, he bumped into someone he hadn’t seen for a long time. At this moment, Fan Zhizhou had emerged from his former despondency, regaining his original brilliance, with an upright posture and extraordinary demeanor, his Qi-Blood surging like a dragon, commanding respect everywhere he looked, having reached the peak of the Four Seas and Eight Continents in Martial Arts Realm, and already condensing a Dharma Image. Additionally, his Evolution Method has also been set on a proper path, reaching the Spirit Power Realm with the help of the Mysterious Object Cultivation Room. This realm is the same as the current realm of Li Yi. Only that Li Yi has stopped progressing because he switched to Cultivation Method, hence he halted the evolution. "Mr. Li." When Fan Zhizhou saw Li Yi, he showed a look of surprise in his eyes, then hastily bowed. "I really didn’t expect you to still be in Tianchang City; I thought you had gone traveling and training everywhere." Li Yi smiled, "It seems you’ve overcome the toughest times. Now not only have you been reborn but you’ve also become an expert in your own right." Fan Zhizhou’s qualifications were top-notch. After enduring the tough early stage, he, integrating dual methods, could practice the Martial Arts Dharma Image, evolving to the Spirit Power Realm, truly becoming a genius. After all, he started late, and his physique was deteriorating, not exactly suitable for Cultivation. But that’s only in the beginning. Once the body evolves, the limitations of the physique become smaller, and eventually, his latent potential gets unleashed. "All thanks to Mr. Li; without your help, I would’ve long become just a pile of bones." Fan Zhizhou said seriously. Li Yi waved his hand and said, "I just took you across the border, gave you a little help, reaching today’s stage is all due to your own efforts. When Sky Tipping incident occurred, you chose death rather than returning to the Four Seas and Eight Continents. At that time, I knew you had such perseverance, and you would achieve something; today, indeed it is so." "I also owe it to Qian Daoist’s guidance, saving me from many detours." Fan Zhizhou said. The Qian Daoist he mentioned was the Tri-Floral Realm expert Li Yi brought back from the End of Dharma Cultivation World. Only that, like Tri-Floral and Nun Liu, Qian Daoist had already withered, no longer in that realm, now just a Chao Yuan Realm cultivator. "Qian Daoist’s guidance? But why haven’t I seen him?" Li Yi asked. After returning to Earth, except for Cang Erzi in Xuanxian Continent whom he hasn’t met yet, he had seen all other Tri-Floral Realm experts, only missing Qian Daoist. "Qian Daoist is researching Cultivation Technique, Evolution Method, Genetic Method, Martial Arts Skill... seeking to complement strengths and overcome weaknesses, aiming to return to the peak in a short time." Fan Zhizhou said, "Thus most of the time Qian Daoist is in closed-door training; hence Mr. Li didn’t get to see him." "By the way, meeting Mr. Li this time, just happens I have an item, my father asked me to entrust to you." Then he immediately took out a booklet from his Storage Magical Artifact. "What is this?" Li Yi asked. "Dharma Manifestation Realm’s cultivation method, collected by the four ghost gods, also they wish to meet Mr. Li soon," Fan Zhizhou said. Seeing this, Li Yi accepted the Dharma Cultivation Method unceremoniously. However, he also understood why the four ghost gods of the Four Seas and Eight Continents wanted to meet him, because he promised to help them reconsolidate physical bodies, assisting them to live another life. "After I’m done with this period of cultivation, I’ll go back to the Four Seas and Eight Continents, and by the way, meet some old friends." It was evident that Fan Zhizhou had also crossed over back. After all, seeing wealth without returning home is like wearing splendid garments on a night walk. Li Yi hadn’t forgotten his promise from earlier; tasks promised would, of course, be accomplished. But now, he was at a crucial stage of transformation and didn’t want to waste time in the Spiritual Energy-thin Four Seas and Eight Continents. The two chatted for a while, also reminiscing the past. Then he learned that Fan Zhizhou had met some people in Tianchang City, planning to take a risk crossing worlds, seeking opportunities and simultaneously advancing cultivation. A group of them were hunting Extraordinary Creatures, accumulated funds, barely enough for crossing-world fees once. "Cross-world is a good thing, but also comes with risks, overall, be careful." Upon seeing this, Li Yi merely reminded, not stopping him. In the current cultivator community on Earth, cross-world travel is quite popular, yet not everyone can afford the fees. If Li Yi took out the cross-border machine, he wouldn’t have to do anything, just selling cross-world travel times, he could exchange for various cultivation resources and make a fortune. After all, cultivating at home is not a bad strategy, better than adventuring risks everywhere. Especially after acquiring the Cultivation Technique, more and more people prefer to cultivate at home. No risks, and can achieve immortality, with powerful strength, indeed perfect, thus many who possess miracles are willing to sell cross-world times, exchanging for cultivation resources, also giving opportunities to people like Fan Zhizhou.
