After the Skyfall

Chapter 691 New Challenges
As time passed, the strength of the twenty cultivators in the Three Flower Realm continued to recover, and Li Yi's control over the Red Gold Mountain became deeper and deeper. At least he didn't have to worry about losing this precious mountain to others.

While these Sanhua Realm masters were recovering their strength, Li Yi also began to study the next realm, Chaoyuan Realm.

The Five Elements Converging to the Origin, to put it simply, is to use the Five Elements' Qi to circulate and nourish the Primordial Spirit until the Primordial Spirit blooms and reaches perfection.

But Li Yi is different from ordinary cultivators, he is an evolver and already possesses a soul. Now with the nourishment of the Red Lotus, the most precious treasure of heaven and earth, it is easy for him to enter the realm of Five Qis Converging to Origin.

But to match his own powerful magic power, an ordinary soul is not enough. He wants to use the Dharmakaya realm of the four seas and eight continents as a basis, combine the advantages of the Five Qis and the Red Lotus, the supreme treasure of heaven and earth, to breed a soul Dharmakaya that belongs uniquely to him.

Before that, the first thing Li Yi had to do was to condense his soul into a Dharma image, and then use the Dharma image as a seed to transform into the cultivator's primordial spirit.

However, just when Li Yi was studying the method of practicing the Dharma in the four seas and eight continents.

this day.

The merchant's daughter Heng hurried to the city lord's mansion. She found Li Yi, who was relatively leisurely, and told him a very important news.

"Chishan City is about to change. Please make preparations early, Dayi." These were the first words Nv Heng said.

Li Yi was a little surprised when he heard this. Now that he was the master of Red Gold Mountain and had twenty cultivators in the Three Flowers Realm in charge, how could there be any changes?
"Please tell me in detail." He did not question immediately, but asked sincerely and patiently.

Nuheng said, "I got a message from other merchants that the blood-god warriors of the Shenmu City lineage want to challenge you, the mountain master, and want to take back the Red Gold Mountain. The blood-god warrior Mu Tuo who was driven away by Nanshan Bo that day will come back again."

Li Yi understood immediately after hearing this.

This was because the divine blood warrior was unwilling to give up and wanted to cause trouble again. Unfortunately, they came at the wrong time. Now, Chijin Mountain was well-equipped with soldiers and horses, and had many experts.

Many cultivators have recovered their cultivation to the first flower realm. After some time, there are also many masters in the second flower realm. They have also been tempered by the blood of gods, their bodies have transformed, and their strength has greatly improved.

"If he dares to come, he will die." Li Yi sneered at this moment and said, "If I can capture Chijin Mountain, I can defend it. It just so happens that I also need the leaves of the sacred tree to smelt red gold and forge red gold magic weapons."

"When will the warriors of the Shenmu lineage arrive at Chijin Mountain?"

Nu Heng was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that when Dayi heard that the warriors from the Shenmu lineage were coming, he was not nervous or afraid. Instead, he was eager to try and wanted to defeat the invading enemy. You know, the Shenmu lineage is much stronger than the Lord of Chijin Mountain.

"Dayi, if everything goes well, they will arrive at Chishan City at noon tomorrow." Then, Nu Heng said seriously.

Li Yi nodded: "Thank you for telling me. It seems that you business owners are well-informed. You were able to learn about this important event one day in advance. It was right for me to hand over Chishan City to you for management."

Nuheng said, "Such a big thing, the business owners in Shenmu City will definitely receive the news. This is not my ability. The real generosity is you, Taiyi, because you let me manage Chishan City, I can control enough red gold, so that those business owners are willing to take the risk of offending Shenmu City and come to tell me."

"Then we have to reward these business owners afterwards." Li Yi said with a smile: "Red Gold Mountain has nothing but a lot of red gold. I am not a stingy mountain owner. After everything settles down, they will get their own rewards, including you, of course."

Nv Heng smiled and said, "I have already received the due reward. Before I have made greater contributions, I cannot obtain the benefits that do not belong to me."

Li Yi said: "You are a wise merchant. You can stay in Chishan City for the next few days. I will deal with the warriors of the Shenmu lineage."

"With the mountain master's words, Chishan City will be more stable." Nu Heng said.

She also needed to get some positive responses from Li Yi, otherwise the Chishan City, which had finally stabilized, would be in chaos again. After all, the warriors of the Shenmu lineage were very famous here, enough to scare away the few people in Chijin Mountain.

After sending Nuheng away.

Li Yi's face gradually became solemn again. Although he was confident, he could not underestimate the background of a big city. After all, among the warriors of the Shenmu lineage, he only knew a man named Mu Tuo. He had no idea whether there were other masters coming.

If the other side comes with a Lord of a Hundred Mountains, then don't fight, just cross the border and run away.

“Instead of waiting for the enemy to come to Chijin Mountain for a battle, it is better to take the initiative to Chijin and kill the enemy halfway. It is also a good opportunity to find out the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, so as to avoid sitting and waiting to die tomorrow.” His eyes then moved slightly, and a plan gradually emerged in his mind.

Immediately, auspicious clouds appeared under Li Yi's feet, and he soared into the air. He sent a message in the direction of the Red Gold Mountains: "Cultivators whose strength has recovered to the Three Flower Realm, please come to the City Lord's Mansion to gather. There is an important matter to discuss."

soon.

In the direction of the Chijin Mountains, rays of five-colored light shot up into the sky.

The monks who were living in seclusion in the caves in various mountains stopped their practice and went out when they heard Li Yi's call. Although they had not been concerned with worldly affairs these days, they knew that they must have something to do when they crossed the border this time.

After all, Li Yi spent a lot of money to bring them across the border to the wild world, not for them to enjoy themselves. If you gain something, you must lose something.

The cultivators flew over one by one, some of them rode on clouds, some stepped on the five energies, and some turned into divine light. In just a moment, twelve cultivators gathered. The reason why twelve cultivators came was because they were all at the level of the Three Flower Realm.

There are eight cultivators whose lifespans are drawing to an end and whose realms have severely declined. During this time they have been in the wild world, they have not been able to revive their Taoism, so now they can only continue to live in seclusion in the caves and are unable to respond to this call.

"Have twelve of them reached the Three Flower Realm?" Li Yi took a quick look and was quite satisfied with the result.

After all, it hasn't been long since they came back from the border, so it's pretty good that they can recover to this level.

"Taiyi, has anything happened?" The goddess Concubine Yun came flying over and asked immediately.

Others also looked at Taiyi.

Li Yi said, "Last time we took over Chijin Mountain, a warrior from the Shenmu lineage was killed. Now I have received news that someone plans to come to Chijin Mountain at noon tomorrow to challenge me, the mountain master, and want to take over Chijin Mountain."

"How dare you take our shelter? It's too easy. You don't need to do anything. Tomorrow I will make sure that this person never returns. I have already blossomed two Taoist flowers. It should be no problem for me to fight against the mountain master-level warriors." The speaker was Yuanyang Zhenren.

He used to be a cultivator at the peak of the Three Flowers Realm. Now that his two Dao flowers have bloomed again, his strength has recovered quite quickly.

“Yes, since this place is called Red Gold Mountain, we naturally cannot give it to others. Taoist Tiangong also said that the Taoist tools made from red gold are of higher quality than even the top inherited Taoist tools. Only if we occupy Red Gold Mountain will we have red gold Taoist tools to use in the future. Even if Taiyi doesn’t say so, I will defend Red Gold Mountain to the death and never want to give in.” A Taoist named Qing Fengzi gritted his teeth, looking murderous.

Only after experiencing the Dharma Ending Age did they realize what a happy and wonderful thing it was to have abundant spiritual energy and to be able to obtain red-gold Taoist tools. Now someone has taken away all of it from them. How can they tolerate this?
"If they dare to come, they will be courting death. Let's attack together at noon tomorrow and send these warriors from the Shenmu lineage off." The speaker was a man in his thirties. He did not look like a cultivator, but more like a general. His name was Tianjian. He was one of the thirty-six guardians of the Tiandao Sect and was proficient in killing.

Concubine Yun said seriously at this moment: "Tianjian, don't be reckless. Listen to Taiyi's arrangements. This world is not that simple. Even as strong as the two fairies, they can't take down the former Lord of the Red Gold Mountain together, not to mention that we haven't fully recovered our strength yet."

Tianjian nodded, then looked at Li Yi, waiting for Li Yi's instructions.

The others stopped talking and looked at Li Yi.

Although they were all once unruly masters of Taoism, they had to bow their heads and obey Li Yi's orders. The self-sacrifice spell was one thing, but the most important thing was that now Li Yi just stood there and a heart-pounding wave of divine power came.

This hasn't even reached Chaoyuan Realm yet.

If he enters the Three Flowers Realm one day, even if forty-nine masters of Taoism gather together, I am afraid they will not be able to shake him in the slightest.

Such strength and potential are naturally convincing.

"You are all seniors in cultivation. You should know that it is better to strike first than to gain the upper hand. Since the other party plans to challenge me, the mountain master, at noon tomorrow, we should attack them today and destroy them halfway."

Li Yi said: "If we can capture a few God Blood Warriors and send them to Shenmu City, we might be able to exchange them for a lot of God Tree Leaves. If there are strong men at the level of Hundred Mountain Masters on the other side, we will have one day to withdraw from Chijin Mountain, so as not to be surrounded by others and lose our lives in vain."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement with Li Yi's approach.

Very reasonable.

Know when to advance and retreat instead of just sitting there and waiting for death. If they were in their place, they would do the same.

If we really wait for the other party to come and attack us tomorrow, and if we are defeated by then, it will be difficult for us to leave.

"Taiyi's method is safe. It attacks halfway and can be used for offense or defense. The old Taoist suggests that you let a few people take the lead first to test the opponent's strength." Taoist Yuanyang added some suggestions.

But Taoist Shenxu said suddenly: "No need, we can use the Taoist magic on the way, and after we find the opponent, everyone will attack together. If the opponent is not killed by this joint attack, he must be a strong one. If the opponent is fine, we will leave quickly. If the opponent is seriously injured, then we will come out to clean up the mess."

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened slightly, and then they looked at the Taoist Shenxu in surprise.

What a great idea.

But this sounds a bit mean.

Li Yi also looked at this Taoist Shenxu. As expected, the old ones are the most experienced. These Taoists have lived for so many years and are very experienced. They can think of any good ideas.

"Okay, let's do it this way. Let's set off now without further delay." Li Yi immediately adopted this idea and set off right away to prevent the news from leaking out and causing more trouble.

He identified a direction and then flew towards Shenmu City.

Upon seeing this, the twelve masters of Taoism immediately followed closely, not daring to delay for even a moment.
