The Post Sky Tipping Era

Li Yi looked at the human-face tree before him without acting rashly. Instead, he attempted to communicate with it to determine its attitude and level of intelligence. If it had malicious intent, he wouldn't hesitate to use golden flames to burn the tree down.

"Do not be afraid, my bloodline descendant, I will not harm you," said the human face on the tree trunk once more.

Li Yi asked, "Who are you?"

"I am your ancestor, a divine being. However, I have been dead for so long that my remaining will wandered this valley, sometimes angry, sometimes sorrowful, sometimes regretful... It wasn't until this strange fruit tree gathered my remaining will that I regained clarity," said the face on the tree trunk.

Li Yi thought to himself, as expected.

The golden apple tree had absorbed too much divine power, causing the remaining consciousness of this divine being to awaken.

The human face on the trunk continued, "For countless years as my consciousness wandered, I never sensed my bloodline descendants coming here. I thought my descendants had long been extinct. I did not expect you to appear here today, child, tell me your name."

"My name is Da Yi," Li Yi said.

"Da Yi? Good child, I can feel the divine blood in you is very powerful, enough to pass this power on to your descendants," said the face on the trunk, showing a very kind and gratified attitude toward Li Yi.

After all, to it, Li Yi was its only bloodline descendant.

"You must have been guided here by the bloodline. It's a pity that your ancestor is no longer in his prime, with only this residual consciousness residing in this tree, unable to help you much. The only thing I can give you is this fruit containing my divine power."

The face on the trunk suddenly looked up, then shook its body, causing the tree trunk to tremble, and the silver apple fell down at that moment.

Seeing this, Li Yi unceremoniously put the silver apple into his Five Elements Bracelet.

"Thank you for the ancestor's gift," he said with a few degrees of reverence.

It seemed that the divine being's will had not been tainted by the Evil God. From the conversation, it was apparent that it was very rational and cared much for Li Yi, its bloodline descendant.

"Shielding one's descendants is what every ancestor should do. Although you are outstanding enough, you have yet to become One God. When you truly become One God, you can come here to take your ancestor's weapon. That weapon is buried in the valley together with your ancestor's remains, hoping one day it will see the light again and fight alongside you."

The face on the trunk sighed, also revealing an astonishing piece of news.

Here, there was actually a divine weapon used by a divine being buried.

Li Yi was somewhat stunned upon hearing this. He hadn't expected such a fortune to arise. Then curiosity took hold—what kind of divine weapon would require him to become One God to be eligible to use?

It seemed that the strength of the divine being who perished back then was extraordinary; even becoming One God was merely enough qualification to wield its weapon.

"Don't worry, ancestor, once I become One God, I will definitely establish the Divine Blood Family and restore the glory of the divine blood." At this moment, Li Yi confidently recognized this ancestor.

After all, no matter what, the divine blood does indeed flow within him, and he has even received the inheritance of divine arts, an undeniable fact.

"Good child, the ancestor believes you will surely accomplish this," said the face on the trunk with a pleased smile.

However, Li Yi had no plans to stay with the tree. He said, "Ancestor, I cannot stay here long. I must go out to battle. The next time I pass by here, I will come to pay respects to my ancestor."

"Go, as a Divine Blood Warrior, show your strength to your enemies, don't be afraid of failure, your ancestor's power will protect you," said the face on the trunk.

Li Yi nodded, said no more, and immediately got up to leave.

When he left the Divine Valley and returned to the Immortal Dao Battleship, Xiang Xiangzi couldn't help but ask, "Taiyi, are you alright? What exactly is that tree in the valley? I can feel it possesses unimaginable terrifying power."

"A divine being's will has been revived by the golden apple tree of the Dark World, and it has undergone mutation," Li Yi said. "This divine being is the ancestor of my bloodline, and as the Immortal is now one of Great Perfection, has she also sensed danger?"

Xiang Xiangzi nodded slightly, "The entire valley is shrouded in a terrifying force, though it does not manifest itself. If I forced my way in, everything would be turned upside down. No wonder that Sword Immortal from Xuanxian Continent has never picked that fruit. It must be due to fear of this force."

Li Yi was somewhat surprised and didn't expect that tree to still possess such strong power.

"But don't worry, my bloodline is connected to that divine being, and it shouldn't harm me. What's needed here is done, let's move on."

He set off once more.

The Immortal Dao Battleship started up, traversing between realms, and smoothly arrived on Earth.

"Red Girl, head to Base No. 8," said Li Yi, who still needed to gather more cultivation experts, as relying on just these dozen people was not enough.

The Immortal Dao Battleship immediately flew toward Base No. 8.

Because Red Girl had contacted Base No. 8 in advance, when the Immortal Dao Battleship descended over Base No. 8, it didn't trigger any alarms, and seeing the sci-fi battleship, the Evolvers within Base No. 8 knew it was a friend, not a foe.

After all, Earth's enemies wouldn't be flying battleships.

Li Yi immediately tried to contact the cultivation experts within Base No. 8. Soon, a cultivator named White Crane Taoist hurried over. This White Crane Taoist had already recovered his cultivation, and was an expert of the One Flower Realm.

"Old Taoist pays respects to Taiyi," said Master Bai He respectfully.

Seeing Xiang Xiangzi, Xuan Yuezi, and Yun Feizi beside Taiyi, he quickly offered a salute as well. After all, in the End of Dharma World, the few Immortals from the Heavenly Dao Sect had prestigious statuses, not something that small sects like theirs could compare with.

"Senior, I have gathered the experts who crossed realms back then for a matter, and I ask for your assistance in contacting them," Li Yi said directly.

"Rest assured, Taiyi, I will contact them right away," Master Bai He immediately took out a smartphone and sent messages to everyone, asking them to gather at the base.

As the messages were sent out, cultivators within the base started gathering, while some experts flew in from outside the base.

About an hour or so passed before these twenty-something cultivation experts were all gathered.

"Seniors, gather inside the battleship," Li Yi invited everyone into the battleship.

With their arrival, aside from Feiyunzi from the Incense World, Wu the Taoist, Tu Daoist, Nun Liu, Cang Erzi, and a few others scattered on Earth, nearly all the experts that were gathered in the End of Dharma Cultivation World back then were present.

These people greeted each other familiarly.

Not long after, everyone had fully recovered their cultivation and were far more formidable than before.

Li Yi went to a meeting room within the battleship, waved his hand, causing a sky full of Xiangyun to condense, transforming into floating meditation cushions, indicating for everyone to take a seat.

Without any unnecessary words, he said directly, "The reason I summoned you all here is for one thing: I want to borrow your strength to help me reclaim our homeland and expel the formidable enemies. If you are willing to assist, I am willing to offer two Red Gold Dao Artifacts as gifts."

As he spoke, he brought out over a hundred various Red Gold Dao Artifacts, allowing these twenty-something cultivation experts to choose.

"Of course, if any of you refuse, it is no problem; I won't make things difficult for you."

Li Yi did not force them, leaving them a choice.

However, these twenty-something cultivation experts, who were smart in their cultivation journeys of hundreds of years, understood well that when Li Yi had led them across realms and helped them restore their strength, he expected them to put their lives on the line.

Now, with the offering of two Red Gold Dao Artifacts,

to refuse would simply be ungrateful, and they'd have no excuse if killed later on.

All these twenty-something cultivation experts didn't hesitate for a second. They immediately expressed their willingness to follow Li Yi into battle, enthusiastically accepting the two Red Gold Dao Artifacts.

After all, the price of two Red Gold Dao Artifacts, even in the Cultivation World, was enough to make a Tri-Floral Realm expert commit fully.

"Very well, seniors, rest for half an hour, and then we will depart for the Earth Defense Line," Li Yi announced promptly.

Hearing this, everyone took their leave scatteredly, for they had been at Base No. 8 for some time, and each had some personal matters to attend to, making Li Yi's arrangement quite considerate.

The half hour passed quickly.

These cultivation experts gathered their belongings and reconvened within the Immortal Dao Battleship.

During this period, Li Yi also gathered some information on the situation at Base No. 8. He found out that almost all the experts from Base No. 8 had been dispatched to the Earth Defense Line; Su Mu, Li Yugang, and others were no longer there.

The reason these cultivators hadn't been deployed was that they weren't Evolvers from Earth; the orders from the Earth Defense Line didn't extend to them, and staying at Base No. 8 had its advantages, ensuring its safety, at least.

"It seems the situation at the Earth Defense Line is not optimistic," Li Yi thought to himself, having a premonition that the battle situation at the Earth Defense Line had escalated.

However, he needed to see it on site to understand fully.

"Red Girl, set off towards Earth," he took a deep breath, issuing the order once more.

"The Earth Defense Line, huh?"

Upon hearing this place, White Crane Taoist and others' expressions tightened.

Having spent considerable time at Base No. 8, they naturally understood what kind of place it was.

Enemies from various Great Realms gathered there, with continuous wars, even Immortals perishing, all to defeat the Evolvers on Earth and conquer this world.

Nonetheless, with their strength restored and equipped with two Red Gold Dao Artifacts each, they were unfazed.

With over forty experts in action, such power was enough to sweep across any Great Realm, and they didn't believe any force could stop this battleship. Moreover, among them was a Great Perfection expert.

Once they appeared on the Earth Defense Line, they would be like tigers unleashed, and it would be the enemies who should be afraid.
