After the Skyfall

Chapter 503 Innate Deficiency
Li Yi looked at his master Zhao Ge and the two junior sisters surrounding him. He was surprised and happy. He never expected that Sister Lin would bring so many people from the Zhao Family Martial Arts School back to Tianchang City after returning from all over the world.

He did not object to this cross-border behavior, but the earth was facing many crises right now and was at risk of destruction at any time. It was not a good choice for the people from the Zhao Martial Arts School to come here. Once they encountered danger, their lives would be in danger. Even if they practiced evolution and genes, they had too little accumulation to deal with strong enemies.

But since everyone was already here, Li Yi stopped thinking about it. After all, he had promised to bring his master and the others over to see the place.

"Junior sister, Rong Niang, when did you come? Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could prepare myself? Are you used to staying here? Have you encountered any difficulties?" Li Yi asked with concern.

Zhao Qian said immediately: "With the help of Sister Lin and Lan Ji, we quickly adapted to this place. Everything is fine and we didn't encounter any difficulties. We wanted to inform you in advance, but Lan Ji said she couldn't get in touch with you, so we stayed at your home."

Li Yi slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot. There is no signal where I go. It's normal that Lan Ji can't contact me."

During this period of time, he went to the world of cultivation in the Dharma Ending Age and then to the dark world. The signal was cut off, which was no different from being missing.

Rong Niang said, "As long as Senior Brother is not angry, we can come here uninvited."

Li Yi said, "How could that be? I didn't let you come before because the Earth is too dangerous. I was afraid that you might encounter an accident. It's not that I don't want you to come. In fact, if everything is peaceful on Earth, I would be willing to take you away from the four seas and eight continents. That world is too small, life span is short, and there is an upper limit to cultivation. But it's different on Earth. If you practice here, you may become an immortal and live forever."

"Meng De is right, the earth is indeed very dangerous. A few days ago, your master and Master Fan Zhizhou and I went to the danger zone together, trying to hunt an extraordinary creature, but we were defeated miserably. If it weren't for Niu Niu's protection, we would have been in great danger." Zhao Ge sighed at this moment, still worried about what happened a few days ago.

After all, he was a martial artist at the Gang Realm, and he had been injected with genetic potions and also practiced evolutionary techniques. However, he was unable to kill a supernatural creature, which almost made him lose face.

Li Yi said: "Master, the world of four seas and eight continents limits your potential. You have been on Earth for too short a time, and your physique has not yet improved. Now, a supernatural being in the danger zone is at the soul realm, and its cultivation speed is faster than that of an evolver. Even if you are at the same realm, you cannot defeat a supernatural being."

He understood why his master Zhao Ge lost to the extraordinary creatures; it was because his life level was not high enough.

Although warriors in the Gangqi realm are ferocious, to put it bluntly, they probably can't even break the skin and scales of extraordinary creatures. If they want to defeat extraordinary creatures, they must practice to the same soul realm through evolution.

"It seems that I have to break through the Spirit Training Realm and the Soul Realm before I can hunt extraordinary creatures."

Zhao Ge spoke, but then he became a little helpless: "And that's all. I also heard that during the last Tianqing incident, the great worlds collided and a war between immortals and gods almost broke out. A god appeared and split a corner of the world with one blow. Then immortals came out and joined forces to repair the continent and put out the fire. Tsk tsk, we warriors are really frogs in the well. We never thought that someone could be so powerful."

"Meng De, your world is wonderful, but also dangerous."

He sighed and looked at the distant sky through the glass. He could still see the crack at the end of the sky, connecting to a world.

Fortunately, Zhao Ge had known about this matter for some time. He still could not forget how shocked he was when he first watched those videos.

Li Yi said, "Master, this is not a question of whether it is exciting or not. If a war really happened, the Earth would be finished, and I would die in the aftermath. Everything you see now would no longer exist. Otherwise, I would not have let Sister Lin run away to all corners of the world with her family."

"By the way, Master, are those people living well in the four seas and eight continents now?"

Zhao Ge said: "They are temporarily living in the City Lord's Mansion of Sanyang City. They are currently living a carefree life and everything is fine. Some people are reluctant to leave their hometown and want to come back. Of course, there are also many people who are willing to stay in Sanyang City and think that it is a beautiful place suitable for spending their old age. But whether they can cross the border and come back depends on whether they are determined."

Li Yi nodded: "That's good, thank you for your concern, Master."

"This is a small matter. Anyway, we have the help of the four great families. But speaking of the four great families, they have been very busy recently. Because you killed most of the ghosts and gods last time, the four great families are now conquering the world and starting wars. However, Sanyang City has not been affected because Sanyang City has the protection of several thousand-year-old ghosts and gods, so no one dares to make trouble there." Zhao Ge mentioned another thing.

"It seems that those ghosts and gods are quite dedicated. Next time when I have time, I will help those thousand-year-old ghosts and gods restore their bodies. After all, this is what I promised them." Li Yi said.

Zhao Ge said, "This matter is not urgent. It's better to put it aside for a while. Otherwise, once the ghosts and gods recover their bodies, they might devour their masters. These people have lived for thousands of years. They were all powerful leaders in their past lives. They will not be willing to be inferior to others. In my opinion, it's best to keep them for a few years. It won't be too late to fulfill the promise after things have stabilized."

"Master, don't worry. Those thousand-year-old ghosts and gods won't be able to cause any trouble even if they recover. I will bring them to Earth and let them know how vast the world is. If they still have ill intentions, I will kill them later." Li Yi said. He didn't take those ghosts and gods seriously at all.

With his strength, nothing in the world can pose a threat to him.

Zhao Ge felt the confidence and composure from Li Yi's tone. He understood that Li Yi's current strength was no longer what it used to be. He could easily control ghosts and gods, which made him completely relieved.

"By the way, Master, are you planning to stay on Earth to practice this time, or come here to play for a while?" Li Yi asked casually.

Zhao Ge said immediately, "Just as you said, Meng De, the four seas and eight continents are too small to support a truly strong person. I have practiced martial arts all my life, and after encountering a disaster, my life was supposed to end in gloom. I never thought that one day I would be able to cross the border. So after I settled the Zhao family martial arts school, I decided to come to Earth to make a living. Maybe in the future I can fight for immortality and live for thousands of years, haha."

He laughed loudly, full of energy, as if he had returned to his youth.

Moreover, he was not very old, only in his fifties, which was considered young in the eyes of practitioners, and it was the time for him to fight and struggle. "Master, adventuring is a very dangerous thing. If you are not careful, you will die." Li Yi said in a serious tone.

Zhao Ge smiled carefreely and said, "You and I are warriors, why should we fear life and death?"

Li Yi was speechless.

He understood the character of his master Zhao Ge. He was indeed a very traditional martial artist who was not afraid of life or death and was indomitable.

"What about my junior sisters and brothers?" Li Yi looked at Zhao Qian, Rong Niang, and Shou Hou who were standing beside him.

Zhao Ge said, "They are all adults now. They are the ones who decide their own lives. And since they have come here, they must have made up their minds. Meng De, I know what you are worried about. You are just worried that they will die accidentally due to poor care. In fact, you don't need to worry about them. If they are capable, they can naturally make a name for themselves."

"If they die in an unexpected disaster someday, they can only blame their incompetence and bad luck, not others. I, your teacher, will not blame you, Meng De, for this. After all, we, the children of Jianghu, have long been accustomed to life and death."

"Even if Master doesn't blame me, I will still blame myself." Li Yi said.

Zhao Ge looked at Li Yi seriously and said, "Meng De, don't you feel guilty when you see them staying in Sanyang City all their lives and dying alone? Don't we worry when we see you wandering around and fighting alone? We are warriors, not cowards. If Master dies on the way to fight a powerful enemy someday, we should laugh three times instead of lying on the sickbed, looking out the window and swallowing our anger."

"Master is right, Big Brother. Although we are weak, we are willing to work hard to practice. We may become masters in the future." The skinny monkey also said, "We don't want to be protected by you all the time. We also want to contribute to a better future. Big Brother, you have never seen anyone who is afraid of death. If we encounter problems, we can just shed our blood and fight again."

“Big Brother, don’t underestimate us. Although we are not very strong, we are definitely not weak. Moreover, Sister Lin said that our talent for cultivation is not bad, we just lack opportunities. Once our bodies adapt to the cosmic energy of the earth, the speed of evolution will be very fast.” Zhao Qian also said.

Li Yi said, "That's Sister Lin lying to you. Your bodies have degenerated severely. Evolution is easy for you to learn but difficult to master. However, the top cultivation methods all use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. I think you should have obtained the immortal cultivation method. Have you tried to practice Qi?"

"The first level of Qi training requires absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to open up the meridians in the human body. I have tried it, and I found that the meridians of people from all over the world are naturally blocked, like stubborn stones, and difficult to break through." Rong Niang said embarrassedly with a blushing face.

On the contrary, the evolution method is more suitable for her.

Li Yi said: "This is natural. The spiritual energy in the four seas and eight continents is thin, which will cause the immortal cultivation talent of the people living in that world to become worse and worse from generation to generation. Even if you finally become an immortal cultivator in the Qi training realm, your cultivation speed will be extremely slow. Although living in a place like Earth with abundant cosmic energy can change your physique, the cosmic energy on Earth is polluted."

"I'm afraid that you've gone crazy before you've even adapted to being human. I taught you to practice martial arts and evolve because I wanted you to build a solid foundation in the four seas and eight continents so that you can start your real practice here in the future."

After hearing this, Shouhou, Zhao Qian, and Rong Niang immediately fell silent.

I didn’t expect that coming to Earth was not a question of whether I was afraid of death or not, but a congenital deficiency that made me unsuitable to stay here.

"I didn't expect there are so many taboos." Zhao Ge frowned at this moment: "Meng De, what you mean is that we came too early? We should wait a few years before coming back?"

Li Yi pondered for a moment and said, "The sooner the better, since Master and my fellow disciples are here, I'll just take this opportunity to help you all embark on the path of cultivation, so that you can fight for a better future with me in the future. You guys wait a moment, I need to find someone to help me with this matter, and someone must be able to solve this problem."

He thought of those masters of cultivation in the Three Flowers Realm.

A cultivator in the Three Flowers Realm might not be able to solve a problem that he himself cannot.

They probably can improve their physical condition with their own means.

As long as their physique is fine, with their comprehension and talent, their future achievements will definitely not be low. After all, they are people who have become martial artists in a place with scarce resources and thin spiritual energy.

"I didn't expect that I would have to trouble you, Meng De, in the end." Zhao Ge sighed.

Li Yi said: "Master, this is not a troublesome matter. Besides, it is natural for a family to help each other."

"By the way, this time we came across the border and the four great families have prepared a generous gift for you. It is now in the warehouse. Meng De, you can go and take a look when you have time." Zhao Ge then remembered something and mentioned it.

Li Yi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look later."

Some resources from all over the world are still very important, such as the method of cultivating spirit and the longevity elixir.
