Chapter 496: Chapter 350 Mother Zi’s Smile

Cultivators, even if they forsake their physical bodies and their souls cross to another realm, their bodies will not die, but become comatose, incapable of awakening. In an ancient-like setting, if the soul leaves the body for seven days, the body would certainly perish. But with today’s technological explosion, just a single medical pod can ensure the body’s long-term survival.

Li Yi’s father’s body has been lying in a medical pod for over six years, and is still alive to this day.

With the conditions of Du Bai Zhi, after her soul has crossed to another realm, there would be no concern for her body. Ouyang Bing would find the best medical pod for her, providing her body with the utmost nourishment, so that she could awaken upon the return of her soul.

However, now.

Staring at the cold body in his hands, Ouyang Bing didn’t know what to do.

Although he was in the Spirit Power Realm, he did not have the ability to reverse life and death; therefore, if Du Bai Zhi returned from crossing realms, this lifeless body could no longer be used.

"Merely being touched by that evil object, can it really extinguish the life force of someone in the Spirit Power Realm in an instant?" However, the others who witnessed this scene felt a shudder in their hearts.

What is going on here?

Is there really such a fierce ghost in the world?

This is just too unreasonable.

Not dying is one thing, but to perish upon contact, and to some extent ignoring one’s power level and realm.

If there’s any downside, it’s that the evil object’s aggressiveness is not very strong. It can be dodged with strength, and one can hold their ground briefly without being killed. But if they were not Cultivators, just ordinary people, then it would certainly be a nightmare.

"Where in the world did this Li Yi bring back such a terrifying thing?" Even Luo Tianyou, being a Martial Artist, couldn’t help but look at Li Yi with a grave expression.

The others now harbored a sense of dread towards Li Yi, even though he was only at the Soul Realm. No one could withstand having to face a desperate measure that dragged others down with him. If pulled into the fray, they could be forced to perform a soul crossing, something no one wanted to deal with.

After all, even if the soul survives crossing realms, starting over in Cultivation is troublesome.

"Li Yi, Du Bai Zhi’s soul has already crossed realms. Now it is time for you to fulfill your promise," Wu Zuo Hua said at this moment.

Li Yi also stood up from the ground and said, "I need someone to help me with something. I wonder who would be willing to assist me?"

"What do you need me to do?" Wu Zuo Hua furrowed his eyebrows.

Li Yi pointed at the gold on the ground that had melted from the Three-color True Fire and then solidified, saying, "I need that gold to be melted back into liquid again, and then use it to encase my mother, leaving no gaps. Of course, not now; I need to calm my mother down first, she is very angry at the moment."

"That’s easy," Wu Zuo Hua said.

Wu Zuo Hua, manipulating cosmic energy from afar, made the gold on the ground levitate instantly, followed by a searing heat appearing out of nowhere, melting the gold quickly. In just a moment, a blob of golden liquid floated mid-air.

Even though he wasn’t a fire user, his control of cosmic energy was no lesser than others. Though useless against enemies, it was sufficient for some minor tricks.

"Just like that?" Wu Zuo Hua asked.

"That will do. When the time comes, you’ll know what to do," said Li Yi at this moment, taking out the cracked short stick from his Magic Artifact storage.

It is the only supernatural weapon that could counter the fierce ghost of Realm 36.

Even though it costs ten years of lifespan to use once, it earns its keep by forcing Du Bai Zhi to abandon her body and her soul to cross realms.

From a distance, Ouyang Bing was staring at Li Yi, contemplating whether to take the opportunity to eliminate him after the ghost realm’s dissolution. This youngster was too heartless and ruthless, leaving him be was most definitely a hidden danger.

However... Ouyang Bing sensed Luo Tianyou’s warning gaze and had to temporarily suppress these thoughts.

Li Yi hid the cracked stick behind his back, then moved his face a bit and finally put on a relatively gentle expression. With a somewhat forced smile, he approached the closest fierce ghost, greeting as he walked, "Mom, it’s me, Li Yi. How did you end up at Golden Academy? Are you here to see me? That’s great, you finally woke up from the medical pod."

He was acting with the ghost, trying his best not to be discovered.

That pale woman slightly tilted her head to look at Li Yi, still wearing that eerie smile, but she didn’t attack him.

Because Li Yi was pretending not to see through the fierce ghost’s disguise, it didn’t trigger the ghost’s killing pattern.

"Mom, look, what is this in my hand?"

Once Li Yi got closer, he suddenly revealed the cracked stick and fiercely struck the fierce ghost’s head.

The blow wasn’t heavy, but it was incredibly quick and precise.

After being hit by the short stick.

Something unexpected happened.

The eerie woman that kept appearing nearby vanished at an unimaginable speed, and the darkness shrouding them dispersed at that moment. The ghost realm that confined several experts so easily broke apart.

But in a dark corner, a figure suddenly collapsed to the ground with a thud.

It was an icy, ghastly pale female corpse.

Or perhaps the source of all supernatural oddities.

"Now is the time," Li Yi immediately said.

Against such a terrifying fierce ghost, his blow could at most silence it for a few seconds; once those seconds passed, the fierce ghost would surely revive.

"Go."

Wu Zuo Hua grasped the situation, waved his hand, and the molten gold instantly flew over, wrapping the female corpse on the ground in a flash, encasing it within layers without leaving a single gap.

He then dispersed the cosmic energy, solidifying the gold.

A golden oval shape floated in mid-air.

"Is that enough?" Wu Zuo Hua asked with some uncertainty.

If the fierce ghost was imprisoned just like that, it indeed seemed a bit too effortless.

"It’s enough," Li Yi nodded as he saw this.

"Such a dangerous thing should not be in your hands. Give it to me."

However, at that moment, Ouyang Bing suddenly turned into a flash of fire and swiftly swooped in, reaching out through the air trying to snatch the sealed fierce ghost.

Although he was highly cautious of the fierce ghost, he was also unwilling to let it fall back into Li Yi’s hands; otherwise, the latter might resort to the same trick next time.

"Not good, Li Yi, is this guy trying to steal your mom?" Jiang Mingtian shouted.

The others showed a flicker of emotion but hesitated for a moment, considering whether to intervene.

After all, the evil object under Li Yi’s control was indeed dangerous; what if he released it in a fit of pique to perish together with others?

However, it wasn’t necessarily a good thing to end up in Ouyang Bing’s hands either; if he learned from Li Yi, that would be troublesome as well.

Li Yi didn’t actually do anything but simply stated coldly, "What makes you so certain that I only have one ghost in my possession? Dare to rob, and I’ll release an even nastier one. Just now, I allowed Du Bai Zhi to cross the soul realm; this time, I won’t be so amenable. Is it worth it for a woman?"

Ouyang Bing’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

He had already closed in, but in the split second of flashing lightning and flaring flames, he chose to back down. He didn’t go after the evil object sealed in gold but instead gritted his teeth and quickly left with Du Bai Zhi’s icy body.

"He gave up? Li Yi, your mom is safe now," Jiang Mingtian said.

"He didn’t dare to bet; the stakes were too high. It’s not worth it for a woman whose life or death is uncertain," Li Yi declared calmly, seemingly confident in his ability to handle the situation.

Of course, it wasn’t just all talk; without the ghost realm blocking signals, the three Thunderstrike warplanes in the sky regained their deterrence, and the charging main cannon was already aimed at this location. If Ouyang Bing dared to make a move, he would have to face the bombardment.

"Lan Ji, open fire, target, the unconscious Black Lion in front of us."

Since they couldn’t shoot at Ouyang Bing, they shouldn’t waste their firepower either. Li Yi issued another command.

The next moment.

Three high-energy beams descended from the sky, striking the Extraordinary Creature, the Black Lion, once again.

Poor Black Lion, a powerful creature who merely roared at Li Yi and the others, lost its life for no reason at all, its formidable power never even displayed. After those three strikes, not even a skeleton of the Black Lion was left.

"What a pity, maybe if we had saved some flesh and blood, it could have been useful," Jiang Mingtian remarked.

He meant that this Extraordinary Black Lion could be cultivated from the cradle of life.

Li Yi, however, declined: "The Black Lion is merely an Extraordinary Creature, not a mythical creature. It’s not worth wasting energy and time on. If we are to cultivate, we must aim for the best. No matter how strong an Extraordinary Creature is, its potential is limited and it grows slowly. But mythical creatures are different. I remember that the Golden Academy once hunted a ’fei’..."

"Now that you mention it, it reminds me," Jiang Mingtian’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Last time, the wounded mythical creature ’fei’ was killed and its corpse was taken away by a master from the Golden Academy. If they could obtain even a drop of its blood, they could indeed nurture a young ’fei’. However, the blood of the ’fei’ wasn’t for sale in the academy’s marketplace and it was unknown who had collected it; they still needed to investigate.

"The warplane’s firepower is quite impressive, but after all, this thing is external. In the future, it’s better to keep a low profile, lest others catch the opportunity and you’re still doomed," Wu Zuo Hua didn’t stop Li Yi from killing the Black Lion but cautioned, "Let’s put aside the issue of you trapping us in the ghost realm this time, but don’t carelessly release that thing in the future; it’s easy to offend people."

"We were nearly dead, how much more could be considered? If Du Bai Zhi did not trouble me, why would I resort to a do-or-die struggle? Am I supposed to just stand here and let her kill me? She was the first to break the rules; I am not to blame," Li Yi said.

"This matter should have a conclusion. Come with me to the judgment hall; let another judge handle this. But rest assured, we’ll insist that Xu Wen Dao and Du Bai Zhi were involved with the genetic warriors of World Number Six. Whether it works out or not, who knows," Wu Zuo Hua said, and then added, "You guys come along with me too."

"This has nothing to do with me; I’m just here for the show. I’m off, I’m leaving," Cui San said and instantly ran off without a trace.

Luo Tianyou thought for a moment and then said, "Alright, I’ll accompany you for a bit."
