Li Yi and Zheng Gong chatted for a while. Soon, he saw his master Zhao Ge walking out of the Investigation Bureau. Although Zhao Ge joining the Investigation Bureau surprised Li Yi, thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a good path. It allowed a better understanding of this world, provided a legitimate identity, and helped to hone oneself through various events, getting through the toughest early stages. Because the Martial Artists of the Four Seas and Eight Continents, whether in Immortal Cultivation, Dao Cultivation, or the Cultivation Evolution Method, need their bodies to be baptized by cosmic energy. Only with the nourishment of cosmic energy can their bodies transform. Otherwise, cultivation is extremely difficult. And the so-called baptism is actually quite simple, which is to live on Earth for a period, slowly changing one’s physique. "Haha, Meng De, long time no see, and your strength has improved again. As your master, I’ve now been left far behind. I don’t know if I’ll have the chance to reach your accomplishments in this lifetime." Zhao Ge burst into hearty laughter at this moment. He had undergone many changes after coming to Earth. His originally somewhat short stature had grown by several dozen centimeters, with a robust frame, solid muscles, short hair, and thick black hair, making him look like he was just over thirty, rejuvenating significantly. "Greetings, Master," Li Yi respectfully bowed. He sensed the aura of a Cultivator on his master Zhao Ge, clearly showing Zhao Ge had embarked on the path of Martial Dao Cultivation. Because the Cultivation Technique offers immortality, though slower, its complete legacy promises astonishing future achievements. "You’re always this polite," Zhao Ge laughed and said, "But here on Earth, people don’t pay much attention to such etiquette anymore; a greeting will suffice in the future. Meng De, is there a reason for your return this time?" "There’s nothing in particular, just happened to come back to pay respects to my master and see how you’re doing, as well as the junior martial sisters, to see if you’ve adapted well to life in Tianchang City," Li Yi explained. "It’s thoughtful of you, but there’s no need to worry about us. After entering the Investigation Bureau, Shou Hou, Rong Niang, and I are doing quite well. It’s far more exciting here than in the Four Seas and Eight Continents. No matter how strong I become, there’s always a stronger enemy to encounter," Zhao Ge showed a hint of excitement on his face at this moment. The longer he stayed here, the more new things he was exposed to, and the various Magic Door techniques benefited him greatly. Young Master Fan, Fan Zhizhou was right; the Four Seas and Eight Continents are too small, suffocatingly so, and staying there is simply wasting one’s life. "As long as Master enjoys being here, that’s what matters, but always keep an eye on cross-world matters. With so many worlds now contacting Earth, enemies will increase. If you encounter unmanageable dangers, you could take the junior martial sisters and retreat to the Four Seas and Eight Continents to lay low," Li Yi earnestly suggested. Zhao Ge replied immediately, "I’ve naturally learned a lot about the dangers of crossing worlds. For example, the Demon God Realm that’s giving trouble now is a huge hidden danger. It’s a pity that my current realm hasn’t advanced, and my abilities are limited; otherwise, I really want to face off against those enemies from the Demon God Realm." Li Yi said, "Speaking of which, when I was at the Earth Defense Line opposing the Demon God Realm, I met someone named Ji Wu, from another Martial Arts World. His strength is formidable, nearing the level of a Great Demon. However, he’s very interested in the Martial Arts of the Four Seas and Eight Continents, and he might visit you after a while. If you have the time, you could exchange knowledge with him." "An expert from another Martial Arts World?" Zhao Ge’s expression shifted, "Their world’s Martial Arts Realm can be cultivated to rival that of a Great Demon? Good, very good, I understand; he’s named Ji Wu, right? When he arrives in Tianchang City, I’ll be sure to exchange Martial Arts insights with him." He hadn’t expected Li Yi to know such a person. If higher-level Martial Arts could be learned, it would undoubtedly be a tremendously good thing. "If we want to chat, why not go to the Investigation Bureau for a seat? This isn’t exactly the place for a conversation," Zheng Gong suggested at this moment. "I’ll skip the Investigation Bureau for now. After catching up with Master, I’ll be leaving; I’m going to another world to cultivate," Li Yi said. Zhao Ge asked, "You’re crossing worlds again? What kind of world is it this time?" Li Yi responded, "An ancient, wild world, where there are divinities and mutant beasts, filled with dangers and opportunities. If Master is interested, you could also venture into that world." "I’ll pass for now; I need to endure more trials," Zhao Ge waved his hand with a smile. He had a vague understanding of that world. The people there feed on Jiao Long, which is terrifyingly dangerous, and with his current level of strength, going there would be seeking death. "Eldest Senior Brother." At this moment, Shou Hou, Rong Niang, and Zhao Qian drove a floating car up eagerly towards them. After not seeing them for a while, they had also changed dramatically. Their attire had perfectly integrated with the Earth, showing no trace of the Four Seas and Eight Continents. Each wore Extraordinary Nano-Metal Battle Armor, and their weapons were top-grade magic artifacts, likely crafted by Tu Daoist. It seemed Tu Daoist had visited Tianchang City and met them, gifting them with some presents. They were very excited to see Li Yi. Especially Zhao Qian and Rong Niang, their eyes glimmered with light, carrying a hint of feminine tenderness. "Not bad, all very spirited, practicing both Martial Arts and the Evolution Method concurrently, along with traces of Qi Cultivation for Immortal Cultivation; the former ensures current combat strength, and the latter guarantees future potential and achievements. Plus, with the Genetic Potions, the future potential is endless." Li Yi sized them up, nodded with a smile. Currently, cultivators on Earth start by practicing the Three Techniques. It’s hard to imagine how many experts will emerge on Earth in a few decades. "When did Senior Brother return? You didn’t inform us beforehand so that we could prepare." Rong Niang smiled, always a bit reserved in front of Li Yi. Li Yi said, "I just got back today, planning to gather with Master and you all, and discuss some matters. How have you been lately? Have you been working hard in the Investigation Bureau?" "Senior Brother, don’t worry about us. We are now team captains in the Investigation Bureau, managing quite a few people under us," Shou Hou said with some pride. Zhao Qian laughed, "It’s all thanks to Senior Brother’s reputation; we are well respected in the Investigation Bureau." "That’s true. As a famous expert in Tianchang City, who wouldn’t give a little face? In the past, although a few high-potential Evolvers emerged from Tianchang City, they have long been unheard from, like that Li Shaqing, who, after joining Golden Academy, never sent any news or returned to Tianchang City, most likely crossing realms and leaving Earth, with no intention of coming back." Zheng Gong shook his head at this moment, "And that Gu Mengping from the Investigation Bureau." "I saw Gu Mengping once at Golden Academy, didn’t know where he went afterward, probably went cross-realm for training," Li Yi mentioned at this point. "Master Pete also stayed at Golden Academy for a while, but he’s rarely seen since then. However, I believe that people like them have a lot of potential. When their strength grows in the future, they will naturally emerge." "Senior Brother, why talk about unrelated people? It’s rare for us to gather; we should be toasting and celebrating instead," Zhao Qian said at this moment. "Yes, we should drink to our heart’s content," Zhao Ge nodded in agreement and smiled. "If we are having a gathering, I must inform Zheng Lan," Zheng Gong also said. "Sure, call everyone who can come, let’s gather," Li Yi immediately agreed. Given the current situation on Earth, frankly, it’s uncertain whether we can all gather together in the future. While everyone is still here, gather whenever possible. The banquet was held in the Peace Finance Building. The people laughed and talked merrily, it was very lively. And Li Yi also felt that both Zheng Lan and Zhao Qian, even Rong Niang, seemed intent on getting him drunk, but with his current physique, a few cups of alcohol couldn’t do it. Even when they got drunk, Li Yi was still full of energy. However, every lively banquet has an end. When the next day arrived, Li Yi set off early. A golden Xiangyun streaked across the sky above Tianchang City, flying towards Tianning City. This city didn’t interest Li Yi, but in the danger zone of Tianning City, there was a place connected to the Barbaric World. Zhao Fangji had told him about this cross-realm point back then. But now, it seems the Barbaric World has a great influence on Tianning City. Because Li Yi saw many mutant beasts in the danger zone of Tianning City. These mutant beasts are powerful and extremely dangerous. Although the Evolvers in Tianning City are hunting them, they can barely ensure that the city is not invaded by mutant beasts. The real danger comes from the Barbaric World. And it seems this world has been discovered by others, but because this world is extremely dangerous, the Investigation Bureau of Tianning City intends to seal it off. In fact, this choice wasn’t wrong either. Because once the two worlds establish contact, it might attract enemies. Earth is already struggling to deal with the Demon God Realm and Xuanxian Continent, not to mention the Dark World and the Sixth World. Therefore, it’s best to have as little contact and provoke the Barbaric World as little as possible. When Li Yi entered the Barbaric World, he disguised himself to avoid attracting attention, not wearing Earth’s attire but with black hair cascading down his shoulders, clad in Red Feather Purple Gold Battle Armor, carrying the Divine Wood Great Bow, wielding Dragon and Tiger Energy, and draped in multicolored radiance. Like a Divine Son walking out from the Cultivation World, naturally extraordinary, not at all like an Earth person. "First, head to Beihuai City and meet that Merchant Master Xiu Xiang, to repay the favor, and also use the Barbaric World to complete the transformation of my body." With this thought, the Xiangyun under Li Yi’s feet carried him at an extremely fast speed, rushing straight into the Barbaric World.
