Chapter 770: The Mysterious Land
After Li Yi finished handling some matters, he didn't stay at Base No. 8 to wait for Zhao Yongshan to send the coordinates of World No. 36. He worried that staying at Base No. 8 for a long time might bring some danger to this base.
After all, currently the top experts from the Xuanxian World and Demon God Realm are both hunting him down. Even though he keeps his whereabouts secret and unknown, just being on Earth poses a risk of exposure.
"Su Mu, I have to go." At this moment, Li Yi spoke.
Su Mu understood Li Yi's special situation, and she said, "Alright, be careful. If anything comes up, you can contact me. I'll help you with whatever I can. Although, next time you see me, I might not be at Base No. 8; I might head to the Earth Defense Line as well."
"Is it because of the war escalation?" Li Yi's expression slightly changed.
Last time, they had hurt the people of Xuanxian Continent and the Demon God Realm, and they want to retaliate, expand the battlefield, and increase the number of combatants.
"That's part of the reason. But more importantly, I can't just watch my old friends fighting tooth and nail at the Earth Defense Line while I stay at Base No. 8 doing Cultivation." Su Mu said.
Upon hearing this, Li Yi thought for a moment and then gifted her the Red Gold Divine Sword: "Since you're going to the battlefield, I don't have much else to offer; I'll give you a weapon. Hope you can kill a few more enemies."
Su Mu took a look at Li Yi and accepted it without hesitation: "Thanks."
"By the way, how are those experts I brought to Base No. 8 last time doing now?" Li Yi asked again.
Su Mu said, "Those cross-domain experts are pretty good. Initially, they've been trying hard to restore their Cultivation, and later, as their power grew stronger, they gradually left Base No. 8 to train outside. Sometimes they hunt Extraordinary Creatures, and other times they slay Sky Demons and Cultivators. I asked one of them, a Daoist said their power hadn't fully restored to peak yet, and they still need to undergo trials and Cultivation."
"Because of them, the situation around Base No. 8 is pretty good, almost without danger."
Upon hearing this, Li Yi nodded slightly: "That's good. When their power is restored to peak, they'll be able to fight Great Demons and have the qualifications to enter the battlefield. But for now, it's still early, and I'll make other arrangements later."
He estimated the time in his mind.
It's only been a few months since crossing domains from the End of Dharma Cultivation World. This time is not enough for them to restore to peak. After all, most of these Cultivators weren't particularly strong, mostly in the One Flower Realm and Two Flowers Realm.
But it's soon.
If we talk about peak combat power of Cultivators, Li Yi is still looking forward to those Immortals from the Heavenly Dao Sect. After all, those Immortals are themselves Cultivation geniuses, strong in Major Sects, now honing their skills in the Incense Fire God World. Once reaching Great Perfection, they can rival Demon Kings.
"Adding the Cultivators from Red Gold Mountain in the Barbaric World, and the abundant Red Gold Dao Artifact refined by Tian Gong Taoist, I'll possess exceptionally terrifying top-tier combat power."
Thinking of this, Li Yi felt quite expectant in his heart.
However, to command these people, his current power must be increased somewhat. At least he needs to Cultivate his Primordial Spirit Dharma to Perfection. If possible, he'd like to try to comprehend the Physical Bodhisattva Statue from the Brahma Realm.
See if he can cultivate Heavenly Dragon power.
"I'm leaving, see you next time." After sorting his thoughts, Li Yi immediately set out and left Base No. 8.
Beside him, Master Yulian continued to follow closely, reciting scriptures, persistently trying to enlighten Li Yi.
Li Yi continued aboard the Immortal Dao Battleship: "Hongji, head to the coordinate place."
He mentioned a coordinate.
This was the coordinate previously given by Li Yugang at Base No. 8. It's said to be a special place where the flow of time is different. He would see if he could use this strange place to hasten his Cultivation path and also wait for the arrival of the coordinates for World No. 36.
"Coordinate has been recorded, changing flight trajectory." The Intelligent Brain Hongji's voice sounded.
The Immortal Dao Battleship broke through the sky, its speed startling, faster than the tunneling light most Cultivators can achieve.
The journey was relatively safe, without any attacks. But passing several places, Li Yi felt the Divine Sense of Cultivators scanning over. Their strength wasn't weak, including the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and Mahayana Realm.
However, due to the Supreme Treasure Red Lotus, Li Yi didn't notice them; they only noticed Master Yulian chanting scriptures inside the battleship.
Yet, when facing a woman whose strength was unfathomable, these Cultivators didn't act rashly.
Li Yi, because he wanted to keep his whereabouts concealed, didn't confront these Cultivators; otherwise, along his journey, countless Cultivator dwellings would have been crushed.
Soon.
Li Yi arrived at the coordinate place aboard the Immortal Dao Battleship.
The terrain here hardly resembled Earth's, with towering ancient trees reaching cloud heights, and all sorts of exotic flowers and plants giving off a primitive and ancient aura of terror, with immense Extraordinary Creatures hidden in the mountain forest.
Besides that, there were remnants of many ancient buildings, some still retaining power, floating in mid-air, with various vines entwining, connecting together to create a peculiar place.
"This place is indeed special." Li Yi glanced around, not daring to be careless in his heart.
Because Li Yugang said last time, the time flow here is chaotic. Due to this, the environment here has been affected by different time flows, making the creatures growing here quite extraordinary.
Under the flight of time, not powerful enough Extraordinary Creatures would have turned to dust already, and plants unable to evolve would definitely wither quickly and die, only those that withstand the erosion of time can survive here.
And that often means power.
"Also, not only have I been here, but other Evolvers and Cultivators have been here." Li Yi observed from within the Immortal Dao Battleship.
He saw a skeletal remains on a mountain floating in midair. The clothing on the remains, despite the passage of time, had not completely turned to dust. It was evident that it belonged to an Evolver from Earth.
Clearly, the person also wanted to use the uniqueness of this place for Cultivation but couldn't withstand the power of time and died.
Li Yi stepped out of the Immortal Dao Battleship and said, "Mark the location where Li Yugang once practiced Cultivation."
The terrain here has changed significantly. Last time, relying only on Li Yugang's oral account, he couldn't precisely locate the area. Precise marking is needed to find the general vicinity.
"Marking in progress." Intelligent Brain Hongji inside the Immortal Dao Battleship responded, and then a beam of light shot forward.
Very soon.
A piece of rock floating in midair was marked.
These pieces of rock weren't static but were constantly changing position in the air, at a speed as fast as a Mahayana Cultivator's Instant Teleportation. This indicated that the time flow in that area was fast, causing this unusual phenomenon.
"That place, huh." Li Yi observed, and after confirming, he stored away the Immortal Dao Battleship.
To be cautious, however, he took out a special Elixir.
This Elixir contained a surging Life Force. If consumed, it could instantly extend a person's lifespan.
Acquired from the Red Gold Mountain in the Wilderness, it is the Elixir of Immortality.
A miraculous treasure born from the creation of heaven and earth, not something that can be refined by human means.
Although with his current Cultivation level and strength, Li Yi hardly lacks in lifespan, even without using a Life Plate test, he knows he could live for several thousand years without any problem. Yet confronting this special area with unstable time flow, he thought it prudent to be extra careful.
"No need to consume it for now, but if things go wrong, take it immediately," Li Yi thought to himself.
After preparing, he ventured into this peculiar place.
"Is Master Yulian coming along?"
He glanced at the woman beside him: "The environment here is special. I plan to cultivate here for a while, and it's dangerous. If possible, Master Yulian should better stay here."
Master Yulian didn't speak, just continued chanting.
Seeing this, Li Yi didn't persuade further and proceeded forward.
He was very cautious, observing the anomalies around him, as the Evolver's soul kept issuing warnings, indicating the place was fraught with crises with many threats to his life.
Nevertheless, the Cultivation effects here were too remarkable, and despite the perils, many Evolvers were willing to take risks.
Suddenly.
When Li Yi took a step forward, his expression changed. His pants, transformed by nanometal technology, began to decay and weather at an alarming speed, even the flesh withered.
It was evident that this small area ahead possessed a terrifying temporal power. With just one step, his leg looked like it had aged hundreds of years.
Li Yi swiftly retracted it.
Then his withered flesh quickly recovered under the nourishment of Qi-Blood.
"Incredible time flow." He was immensely surprised.
However, although Li Yi's leg had undergone temporal erosion, after recovery, it became more powerful. An ancient bloodline power was awakened, and he sensed the presence of several acupoints.
No deliberate Cultivation was needed; time alone could nurture the body to unearth extraordinary strength.
This is the might of the Divine Blood Warrior.
Yet, the time power in this area was too frightening, unsuitable for Cultivation, as getting trapped would likely result in dying without escape.
He bypassed it and continued on.
This time, Li Yi was even more cautious, slowing his pace, while noting his route, leaving a trail of footprints for future navigation along this path.
No wonder, when Li Yugang and his group came here, only he survived in the end.
Searching here indeed requires sacrifices to find a suitable Cultivation site.
Even with precise coordinates, Li Yi was so cautious, for those without any clues, it's easy to perish here.
"The dispersed temporal power here, unfathomable, impossible to sense."
He tried to feel this power but failed.
Time is the most unfathomable thing.
