Chapter 654: Chapter 460 Harvest

As this group of cultivators was annihilated,

everyone at the Golden Academy finally felt vindicated. Over the past few months, they had suffered unbearably. To seek revenge, many Evolvers had been forced to cross the border to nurture their strength before planning to return and exact vengeance. Meanwhile, other Evolvers had grown disheartened and left the Golden Academy, unwilling to continue living in such humiliation.

If Li Yi hadn’t stirred up this storm today, this deadlock would have been impossible to break.

"Li Yi, you did great. When dealing with these cultivators, you have to be ruthless—don’t let a single one escape." At this moment, Wu Zuo Hua flew over from a distance, greeting Li Yi casually as he passed by.

"Back then, I was hunted across dimensions by them. Today, this blood debt had to be repaid. Still, I didn’t expect the situation to escalate this much. Fortunately, the crisis was resolved without too much danger, and we managed to eliminate them all," Li Yi nodded and replied.

Wu Zuo Hua said, "It’s lucky that Wu Yong, that expert, returned across dimensions to aid the Golden Academy. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have dared to launch a full-scale counterattack. By the way, Li Yi, do you know Wu Yong? Is your rapid power advancement this time related to Mr. Wu’s guidance?"

"I met him in an abandoned city. He was hunting a Kui Dragon Snake at the time," Li Yi said nonchalantly.

"A Kui Dragon Snake? The mythical creature entrenched in Tiansha City? Amazing! What level of cultivation does Wu Yong even have to dare battle a mythical creature? You know, the Investigation Bureau had previously mobilized experts to try and kill that Kui Dragon Snake, but they all failed. They had to evacuate the city’s residents and abandon it altogether," Wu Zuo Hua exclaimed in shock, eyes wide.

Li Yi didn’t answer but instead asked, "By the way, I didn’t see Luo Tianyou. After his duel against the Golden Core Sword Cultivator Li Chengyu last time, he seems to have disappeared... Was it people from Xuanxian Continent who killed him?"

Not just Luo Tianyou—he also hadn’t seen Master Pete or Wang Hu.

The Golden Academy seemed to have lost many familiar faces and gained many new ones in their place.

"Luo Tianyou was provoked after his defeat last time and crossed dimensions to pursue higher martial arts," Wu Zuo Hua said with a flicker in his eyes. "It’s not just him; over the past two months, Dean Sun has opened the cross-border gate and sent away many promising students. Dean Sun hopes these students will grow stronger in other worlds and then return across dimensions to resist foreign enemies and save the day."

"I see," Li Yi nodded in understanding.

Staying in the Golden Academy was a dead end. The only way out was to cross into other realms to seek opportunities and enhance strength. Of course, this was not without risk—not every Earthling who crossed dimensions would return to support the Golden Academy.

Many people would leave Earth and never come back.

"Li Yi, your progress is truly astonishing. In less than two months’ time, you’ve returned from crossing dimensions with the ability to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator. It’s unbelievable. You know, even a Spirit Power Realm Evolver struggles to match a Golden Core cultivator. How did you manage this?" Suddenly, another voice rang out.

It was Cui San, a Spirit Power Realm Evolver, who suddenly flew over. His body was drenched in blood, suggesting he had battled formidable enemies earlier. Now that the conflict was over, he could no longer suppress his curiosity and came over to ask.

"I’ve cultivated multiple techniques and learned several new spells. Additionally, with my power breakthrough and possession of a magic treasure, killing a Nascent Soul cultivator wasn’t difficult," Li Yi explained. "Actually, the Spirit Power Realm experts in the Golden Academy have great potential. If you also practiced cultivation techniques and equipped yourself with one or two treasures, you could kill them as easily as slaughtering dogs."

"The only reason we struggled before was because the techniques we practiced were subpar. But now that we’ve eliminated these cultivators, it shouldn’t be difficult to obtain some cultivation methods. Once we all master these techniques, the cultivators from the Xuanxian Continent will no longer hold an advantage."

"Makes sense! I’ll go look for cultivation techniques," Cui San’s eyes lit up at these words, and he immediately flew off.

Wu Zuo Hua said, "The cultivation techniques from the Xuanxian Continent are excellent, but they are very secretive. Obtaining them is no easy task. Hopefully, we can find something valuable in their storage spirit devices this time. That’s enough talk—I’ll leave now. Let me know if you need any help."

With that, he gave a casual wave and quickly departed, clearly heading off to search for opportunities as well.

With the destruction of these cultivators, their remnants and treasures left behind would likely bring unimaginable changes and benefits to the Golden Academy.

Li Yi watched the two leave but did not continue searching for opportunities himself. He didn’t care for such things at the moment. Since he was dual-cultivating Daoist skills and wielded Dao Artifacts, there was no need to scatter his focus by pursuing cultivation techniques. If he were to delve into cultivation seriously, he would wait until he could acquire a complete inheritance of cultivation techniques.

For now, his priority remained on the path of Dao cultivation.

"Taiyi, it seems our luck wasn’t great—we didn’t catch any cultivator experts crossing the border," a voice suddenly rang out from a previously unnoticed cloud in the sky. It was Xuan Yuezi. She sat high in the heavens, her ethereal figure revealed as she gazed into the distance at the Xuanxian Continent, its silhouette connecting to the sky like a majestic painting of another realm.

"That’s for the best. Your strength hasn’t recovered yet, and the number of miraculous items I possess is insufficient. I’m still missing one complete Miracle to successfully open the cross-border gate. Once that’s in place, we can bring over the others gradually," Li Yi replied.

Cang Erzi interjected, "Taiyi, this old Daoist wishes to visit the Xuanxian Continent to assess their strength and seize their cultivation techniques, as well as the legendary Immortal Artifacts. However, this journey will be fraught with danger. I need your consent."

"Senior Cang Erzi, must it be so urgent?" Li Yi asked in surprise.

Cang Erzi replied, "Naturally, I will restore my strength before making the journey. I just wanted to inform you in advance."

"I see. If Senior Cang Erzi can fully recover, there will be no issue with going to the Xuanxian Continent. But for now, we still need your help to deal with current challenges and crises," Li Yi said.

"Of course," Cang Erzi nodded.

Xuan Yuezi said, "Li Yi, you have the Tianyi Palace in your possession. Why not place it within the Golden Academy? Cang Erzi and I can enter it to cultivate, avoiding unnecessary attention. Given the current situation, it’s better for us not to reveal ourselves lightly. One visible ally in Daoist Wu should be enough."

"The Immortal is right." At this reminder, Li Yi immediately retrieved the Tianyi Palace from his Five Elements Bracelet.

He returned to Zone C, Number 64, his original dwelling location.

But the area had already turned to ruins; his Cultivation House had been destroyed in the last conflict and hadn’t yet been rebuilt.

It didn’t matter, though.

Li Yi tossed out the pristine crystal palace in his hand and manipulated it to take a new form. The Tianyi Palace immediately transformed into a modern villa and settled into the original location of his Cultivation House.

As a Taoist Artifact-level palace, it could change its size and appearance at will. Yet internally, it retained a vast expanse with immense depth.

Once the Tianyi Palace appeared, Xuan Yuezi and Cang Erzi silently slipped inside. They immediately began invoking Daoist skills to channel nature’s spiritual energy into the Tianyi Palace, quickly converting the previously empty palace into a space teeming with abundant Spiritual Energy. They also filtered out the cosmic energy’s impurities to avoid any disruptions to their cultivation.

The two of them, now almost fully recovered, didn’t require much spiritual energy for their cultivation. Their focus had shifted to nurturing the Three Flowers atop their heads and harmonizing the Five Qi within their chests, steadily working towards restoring their peak states.

"Now my residence will no longer be vulnerable to destruction," Li Yi mused silently.

He then entered the Tianyi Palace himself.

Though outwardly it appeared no larger than a small villa, the interior presented a grand, imposing palace. Within, the Heavenly Sword, standing like a massive pillar, awakened its mysterious aura. The sword’s body seemed alive—mountains and rivers flowed steadily along its blade, while the sun, moon, and stars glittered with brilliance.

After a brief moment of observation, Li Yi claimed a side hall as his personal chamber. He arranged it for comfort and began reviewing his spoils from the recent battle.

Among all his loot, the most significant was undoubtedly the complete Miracle, Dragon Scale.

As he brought out the Dragon Scale, its immense cosmic energy filled the surroundings. The energy enveloped Li Yi, giving him a soothing warmth, like bathing in a hot spring.

"My body can now withstand the energy field of a complete Miracle," he muttered to himself, his expression stirring as he reflected on his early experiences crossing dimensions.

Back then, the energy field from a complete Miracle had been unbearable, leaving his skin blistered and scarred by its intense heat. But that was when he was in the Spiritual Realm, lacking the strength to endure such forces. Things were different now.

Li Yi had advanced to the Spirit Power Realm as an Evolver, entered the first layer of the Five Qi Realm as a Daoist, awakened a Divine Bloodline, and become both a Genetic Warrior and Gang Refining Martial Artist. These cumulative enhancements had transformed him completely.

He then brought out the Seven-Colored Stone.

With the two Miracles side by side, their energy fields radiated dazzling light, creating a stunning interplay of colors.

However, Li Yi’s expression shifted as he retrieved the Incomplete Coin.

Its surface had dimmed, the energy field shrinking to just a few inches in radius—clearly, the two-dimensional crossings had drained it severely, leaving it damaged. Whether it could ever recover remained uncertain.

Li Yi placed the Incomplete Coin within the overlapping energy fields of the other two Miracles, hoping to heal it.

"An incomplete Miracle is still just incomplete. After merely two cross-border usages, it’s nearly depleted. Only a complete Miracle can continually absorb cosmic energy and replenish itself. Thankfully, I had the Seven-Colored Stone this time. Otherwise, during this second crossing back, the Coin might have shattered entirely." Li Yi sighed inwardly.

It was clear now that the Incomplete Coin wouldn’t be viable for his next dimensional crossing.

He needed to find another Miracle as soon as possible—anything, even another incomplete one, would suffice.

The Coin could no longer be relied on.

With that thought, Li Yi began listing the items looted from the cultivators onto the Golden Academy’s marketplace. It didn’t matter how much they sold for; the items were looted anyway. He was willing to sell them for any price.

Still, he kept a portion of the storage spirit devices for himself.

These made excellent gifts.

In certain circles, they were prized possessions.

However, with the Golden Academy freshly enriched by the spoils of dead cultivators from the Xuanxian Continent, the demand seemed to have impacted prices for these spirit devices. Meanwhile, oddly, the cost of incomplete Miracles was on the rise; what had once sold for two hundred thousand now fetched three hundred thousand Sword Coins.

"Forget it. Business has never been my forte. I’ll wait for good news from Daoist Wu. With his strength and status, acquiring a Miracle shouldn’t be difficult," Li Yi thought to himself.

He then immersed himself in cultivation within the Tianyi Palace.

This time, Li Yi refrained from practicing the White Bone Temple Cultivation Skill. Instead, he switched to the Heaven and Earth Energy Absorption Method.

The moment the Daoist skill activated, cosmic energy surged toward him, transforming as it entered his body to enhance his physical evolution. Simultaneously, it condensed into streams of Heart Fire Qi that filled his twelve major acupoints.
