Chapter 728: Chapter 520: People of the Cultivation World

When Li Yi arrived at the coordinates of the Golden Academy, he indeed saw an ancient pavilion standing on the flat ground, with a large amount of cosmic energy surging into it. It seemed that someone was deliberately guiding the energy, and with its baptism, the pavilion became increasingly bright.

It seemed as if it had washed away the lead dust and was reborn.

"The Dao Artifact is reviving." Li Yi immediately realized the reason.

When a Dao Artifact from the End of Dharma Cultivation World arrives on Earth, the first thing it must do is continuously absorb cosmic energy to repair itself and thus reawaken its power. However, although this pavilion is a Grotto Heaven Dao Artifact, it is also damaged. Not only does it lack an Artifact Spirit, but there are also some broken areas on the pavilion. Although they have been repaired later, the Dao Artifact is an integral unit. Simply repairing the surface is not enough; the talismans and arrays inside have also been damaged and must be reforged.

"Du Bai Zhi indeed went to the End of Dharma Cultivation World and brought back a low-grade Dao Artifact. If this person is not removed, she will indeed become a significant threat."

Killing intent suddenly appeared in his heart.

If Du Bai Zhi is given more time, and she makes a few more trips to the End of Dharma Cultivation World, that would be disastrous.

However, as Li Yi’s killing intent emerged, it seemed that a cultivator inside the pavilion sensed it, and the next moment, several figures flew out from inside.

"Who is trying to cause trouble here? Simply reckless... wait, Li Yi, is that you?" Among those figures, one person seemed to recognize Li Yi and immediately showed a slightly surprised expression, but then his face turned somber, full of hostility.

"Ouyang Bing, where is Du Bai Zhi? Have her come out and speak," Li Yi said calmly.

Ouyang Bing said, "Li Yi, you are really well-informed to know that Du Bai Zhi has successfully crossed worlds and returned. However, aren’t you being too arrogant, coming to stir trouble right after returning to the Golden Academy? Aren’t you afraid you’ll hit a hard wall and fall here today?"

He barked coldly, not indulging Li Yi in the slightest.

Previously, he dreaded Li Yi because Li Yi was in the spotlight, and Ouyang Bing dared not provoke him. But things are different now. Du Bai Zhi has returned across worlds, and her strength has greatly increased. Plus, she brought many allies. Now in the Golden Academy, they have formed a considerable faction, and no one dares to ignore them.

On the other hand, Li Yi is still alone; fighting solo is unsustainable.

"I’m causing trouble? Ouyang Bing, don’t speak nonsense. After Du Bai Zhi’s cross-world return, she knows clearly what she has done. Don’t say you know nothing." Li Yi stared at him and said, "I won’t speak of past grievances, but she destroyed my Floating Immortal Island, injured my mutant beast, and attempted to destroy my transmission array. Shouldn’t this account be settled?"

"Your Floating Immortal Island? That is clearly the treasure of a Divinity Transformation Realm expert from the Xuanxian World. Since when did it become yours?" Ouyang Bing said, "As for your mutant beast, it was guarding the Floating Immortal Island closely. If not for a master named Li Yue providing some protection, that beast would have been killed long ago, and the Floating Immortal Island would have been sunk."

Li Yi said coldly, "I repelled the cultivators invading Earth; his belongings after death are my spoils of war. Don’t you understand the rules? Don’t bring up useless arguments. If you insist on standing up for Du Bai Zhi, fine, I’ll settle it with you today as well. If you’re wise, leave now. I have no feud with you and don’t want to involve others."

He gave Ouyang Bing a chance.

Ouyang Bing’s expression changed. He had seen Li Yi in action and admitted that Li Yi was extraordinary, capable of killing even Nascent Soul cultivators. Some time had passed since then, and Li Yi’s strength must have further improved. But now, with Du Bai Zhi’s return and having also opened the cross-world door to the End of Dharma Cultivation World, gained fortuitous encounters.

If he backed down now, he would really have no place in the Golden Academy.

"Li Yi, you are still so lawless. You provoked a fight between the Golden Academy and Xuanxian Continent last time. Now you want to retaliate against Du Bai Zhi. I can’t stand by and watch anymore. If you truly dare to make a move today, I won’t spare you." Ouyang Bing suddenly shouted. Then he took a few steps forward, the cosmic energy around him surged, and then ignited, transforming into a sea of flames.

The sea of flames showed four colors—red, blue, white, black. Each color of flame intertwined, seeming to cause a qualitative change, emitting astonishing heat as if melting everything.

Moreover, the sea of flames seemed alive, sometimes transforming into a fire snake slithering, sometimes into a fire bird chirping, and sometimes into a fire fox jumping.

Gradually, the flames gathered together, forming a four-colored flaming long spear, which Ouyang Bing grasped in his hand at this moment.

"Last time, your flames only had three colors. Now there are four, and you have reached the Spirit God Realm... Since when did Spirit God Realm experts at the Golden Academy become so worthless?" Li Yi said.

Ouyang Bing said, "Li Yi, those who can enter the Golden Academy are all geniuses. Don’t think your cultivation speed is the fastest. As long as one cultivates the right techniques, progress can be rapid. But all this we owe to you. After defeating those cultivators from the Xuanxian Continent, the vice dean spread the Immortal Cultivation Technique, and I benefited greatly."

"If you plan to make a move, you’d better weigh it carefully. You are no more than in the Spirit Power Realm now, while I am a full realm higher than you."

To be honest, he was hesitant to face Li Yi because Li Yi indeed was a powerful and dangerous figure, and even with a full realm advantage, he had no confidence in defeating him.

"The strength of Earth’s evolvers depends on realms? Ouyang Bing, since you are determined to protect Du Bai Zhi and involve yourself in this personal vendetta, then don’t blame me for settling the score with you as well," Li Yi at this moment lost his patience and stopped persuading. He had already given him a chance.

"How arrogant! If you want to fight, no need for Ouyang Bing to act; let this Daoist play with you." At this moment, a young Daoist in a Daoist robe beside Ouyang Bing snorted unhappily.

"Who are you? Looking for death too?" Li Yi glanced at him.

He had long noticed the two helpers beside Ouyang Bing.

Not evolvers from Earth, but likely cultivators from the End of Dharma Cultivation World.

"Daoist Wang Cheng, I’ve crossed dimensions to come to Earth, and I’m not a native here." The cultivator named Wang Cheng said calmly, "For someone who has only cultivated for a few years, it’s impressive to have such strength. I advise you to be cautious."

Li Yi looked at him: "Not so old, yet full of arrogance. I see your realm isn’t that high, with no Three Flowers blooming above your head and no Five Qi gathered in your chest. At most, you’re at the Fourth Level of the Five Qi Realm? Have you been in the End of Dharma World for too long, causing your realm to fall, or is this your true level?"

As soon as he said this, Wang Cheng’s face changed dramatically. He was so shocked that he instinctively took a few steps back, then pointed at him and said, "How do you know about my background?"

He indeed came from the End of Dharma Cultivation World.

At his peak, he was in the Chao Yuan Realm and truly had not bloomed the Three Flowers.

Although he has been on Earth for some time, he is now only at the Fourth Level of the Five Qi Realm.

However, this level of strength is enough to deal with Evolvers at the Spirit God Realm, and once his strength is fully restored, while he may not walk unchallenged on Earth, he would be close to invincible.

He just didn’t expect that today Li Yi would expose his background with a single remark.

"Daoist Wang Cheng, this Li Yi has also crossed over to the End of Dharma World before. It’s not surprising that he would understand cultivators," Ouyang Bing said calmly.

After all, Du Bai Zhi had the coordinates to the End of Dharma World, and so did Xu Wen Dao. Since Li Yi killed Xu Wen Dao and took all his possessions, it makes sense for him to have the cross-dimensional coordinates.

"A cultivator whose realm hasn’t even recovered, who barely managed to cross dimensions to Earth, not choosing to retreat and cultivate to achieve Dao, but instead getting embroiled in this grudge... today, you were bound to face this ordeal. Die now."

However, Li Yi had lost patience. He let out a long howl, devouring cosmic energy from all directions. At this moment, he gathered it in one place, operated his Daoist Skill, ignited Heart Fire Qi, and spat it out.

"Call Wind!"

The wild wind turned into fierce flames, instantly covering everything before him, including the Daoqi Pavilion.

"This, this is the Call Wind and Rain Technique of the Daoqi Sect. How is this possible? How do you know this top-level Tao Skill?" Daoist Wang Cheng was utterly shocked upon seeing this, clearly not an uninformed cultivator, for he recognized Li Yi’s Wind Summoning Technique.

But it was precisely because he recognized it that he was fearful.

Because he had witnessed how terrifying the Call Wind and Rain Technique was.

When this Heart Fire is exhaled, the wild wind sweeps through, invading every nook and cranny. Even if you’ve gathered Five Qi Chaoyuan or bloomed Three Flowers, as long as this Heart Fire Qi enters your Xuanfu and seven apertures, it can burn away your internal organs, mana, and Primordial Spirit, leaving nothing but ashes.

In his terror, Daoist Wang Cheng hurriedly took out a defensive Magic Artifact to resist.

But his defensive Magic Artifact was already damaged due to the depletion of spiritual energy. Although he came to Earth, where the spiritual energy is abundant, it has not been long enough for him to find suitable materials to refine a new Magic Artifact, so he had to make do with the old one.

A damaged defensive Magic Artifact might work in normal circumstances, but not now.

The Heart Fire Qi from all directions, swept by the wild wind, was unavoidable, permeating through every gap. Even a slight leak set Wang Cheng’s body aflame, his seven apertures fuming, as he cried out in agony.

Both being in the Five Qi Realm, theoretically, his strength should surpass Li Yi’s.

But Li Yi had opened twelve Heart Acupoints, possessing twelve times the Heart Fire Qi of the same realm, and with the addition of top-level Dao Law, how could he possibly withstand it?

"Li Yi, don’t be so arrogant."

Ouyang Bing shouted fiercely at this moment, his four-colored blazing Long Spear suddenly burst forth, lifting a corner of the sea of fire, transforming into a stream of light shooting straight at Li Yi.

"No!"

Another Daoist nearby changed his expression, trying to stop him.

Under the opponent’s Call Wind Technique, and you’re still using fire? This is courting death!

Li Yi was not afraid; he just raised a fist, unleashing Dragon and Tiger Power, reinforced by mana. He threw a punch, shaking the vacuum and conjuring thunder, exploding the incoming blazing Long Spear on the spot.

In an instant, the Long Spear turned into another burst of four-colored fire, spreading around, engulfing everything nearby.

But under the Call Wind Technique, the four-colored true fire not only did not harm Li Yi but instead surged towards them.

For a moment, everything before their eyes turned into a blazing inferno hell, where everything seemed to melt. In such a situation, without a Dao Artifact for protection, it was nearly certain death.
