After the Skyfall

Chapter 828 The New Great Array
Li Yi stretched his body; he had been sitting there for two or three days.

He gazed eastward across the city.

In the danger zone outside the city, a majestic mountain stands tall, with countless palaces and pavilions on it. Cosmic energy gathers at the mountain's summit, surrounded by auspicious clouds and permeated with the five elements.

After a period of construction, the Taoist temple has been completed.

In addition, many more supply ships have appeared in the skies above Tianchang City, and various survival bases and cities have begun to reconnect, thanks to the victory in the last war against Earth's defenses.

Although the future is uncertain, at least for now, after experiencing a series of celestial collapses, Earth has ushered in a brief period of peace.

Everything is going in the right direction.

After observing for a moment, Li Yi decided to travel to all corners of the world to bring back all the people who had fled before.

After all, the spiritual energy in the world is scarce and not suitable for cultivation. Staying there for a short time is fine, but staying for a long time is not conducive to cultivation. Moreover, now that the crisis has been resolved, it is time for them to go home.

And just as he set off.

He saw that the newly built Taoist temple by the dozens of Taoist masters was now radiating a multicolored light. This light intertwined and transformed into a net that covered all directions, including Tianchang City and the surrounding three hundred miles.

"This is a large formation."

Li Yi's eyes flickered, sensing something.

However, after the formation was activated, he discovered that it was neither a traditional defensive formation nor an offensive formation, but a formation that could shield spiritual energy.

The moment the great formation was activated, all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within this three-hundred-mile area was completely expelled.

"It's somewhat like a Spirit-Severing Array, but it's also different. It must have been improved. But why would Xuan Yuezi and the others activate a Spirit-Severing Array here?"

Li Yi was somewhat puzzled.

After all, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is blocked, and the people living here will be affected.

But soon.

He understood why.

The cosmic energy that had disappeared from the air was now gradually recovering. Although the speed was not fast, it could be felt that countless energies were escaping from the wormhole and then lingering within the formation.

At this moment, Li Yi understood what Xuan Yuezi and the others were thinking.

The energy of this world and the universe has been polluted, so they activated a modified version of the Spirit-Severing Array to isolate the spiritual energy within a radius of three hundred miles, preventing this polluted spiritual energy from entering this area.

Correspondingly, the cosmic energy escaping from the wormhole was not contaminated, so clean cosmic energy began to slowly fill the area. Then, this cosmic energy was sealed by the formation, and over time, the area was free from spiritual energy contamination.

"It is indeed a good method. These cultivation masters are all talented. The pollution problem that has plagued the Earth's evolvers for so long has been easily solved."

Li Yi was amazed.

Although the spiritual energy in Tianchang City is currently thin, as time goes by, more and more spiritual energy will escape from behind the wormhole, and sooner or later this place will become a new treasure land for cultivation.

However, these cultivation masters had more to do. They planned to expand the formation further and draw in the spiritual energy from the Demon God Realm, hundreds of kilometers away.

However, with the great battle just over, the cultivators are still somewhat restrained.

Otherwise, with their years of experience surviving in the Dharma-ending Age, they could definitely transform this place into a blessed land; this is just the beginning.

As for their actions to reform the Dao Court, Li Yi did not interfere. On the contrary, he was very relieved. These older generation Daoist masters were all shrewd and knew what they could and could not do. He needed to delegate tasks, and these Daoist masters would handle them perfectly.

After leaving Tianchang City, Li Yi followed the crossroads of Ghost Street and soon arrived at the Four Seas and Eight Continents.

"Lower your guard, it's Lord Li Yi." Upon seeing Li Yi, a Yin deity immediately instructed the Yin soldiers lingering around him to lower their guard and not be nervous.

Although these ghost soldiers are weak and usually not very useful.

However, as long as a powerful enemy crosses over, the ghost soldiers will immediately detect it, which can serve as a good warning.

After Li Yi returned to the Four Seas and Eight Continents, he did not go back to Sanyang City, but went directly to the temporary city he had built for the survivors.

To his surprise.

After a period of recuperation, the city has become unusually prosperous, with a constant stream of merchants coming and going. Streets have even been built outside the city. Many people who fled from Tianchang City have integrated well into the world and do not look like refugees at all.

Indeed, time heals all wounds.

"Perhaps letting them stay in the four seas and eight continents is also a good choice," Li Yi thought to himself.

However, he will still give these people a choice.

soon.

He sensed several familiar presences within the city.

Immediately, Li Yi followed the auras and soon met Zheng, a friend from the Investigation Bureau, at a herbal tea stall in the city.

Li Yi fell from the sky.

It startled everyone nearby.

Engineer Zheng was also drawn by the commotion. He glanced over, first surprised, then delighted: "Li Yi? You're back." Li Yi?

Many people nearby turned to look in this direction.

Although they dressed similarly to people from all over the world, they were all from Tianchang City and were naturally familiar with the name Li Yi. If it weren't for Li Yi's existence, they would have died on the day the Demon God Realm invaded. It can be said that Li Yi saved everyone here.

“Engineer Zheng, you’re really suited to living here. You can drink tea, take walks, and I think you should just get married here and start a family. Women from all over the world don’t ask for dowries, so you’ll definitely be able to afford it,” Li Yi said with a smile.

Engineer Zheng quickly replied, "That won't do. My stay here is only temporary. When the opportunity arises, I will return to Tianchang City. By the way, Li Yi, what's the situation on Earth now? Is there still any danger?"

Li Yi said, "To make a long story short, the current crisis on Earth has been resolved. Tianchang City still exists and has not been destroyed. It is now under the management of Li Shaoqing, the former vice president of the Evolutionary Association. If you are willing to return to Earth, you can set off now. Of course, if you are not willing, you can stay and live in the Four Seas and Eight Continents. Although these places are not suitable for cultivation, they are suitable for living."

"Go back, of course we should go back."

Engineer Zheng suddenly stood up, his face beaming with joy: "Li Yi, you have no idea how agonizing our lives have been here lately. We can't cultivate, we dare not return to Earth, and we have to restrict them from moving around this world at will, lest they cause any negative impact on it."

"It's no different for us than being in prison. The worst part is that I, as an evolved being, am actually starting to degenerate. If this continues, I think I'll be ruined."

He was somewhat frantic; as a cultivator, he could not tolerate his own gradual decline.

Even though life here is indeed peaceful, it's not suitable for him.

Li Yi said, "In that case, you should organize things in the next few days to relocate people back to Earth and rebuild the Bureau of Investigation. I don't have time to do this."

“Okay, that’s enough. I’ll notify everyone to prepare to return to Earth right away,” Engineer Zheng said immediately.

Li Yi said, "I will inform the four great families to assist you."

After explaining the matter, he left the city and went to Sanyang City.

The Zhao Family Martial Arts School is now thriving. Throughout the eight continents, any martial artist with potential wants to join the Zhao Family Martial Arts School. Joining here is not just about practicing martial arts, but also about having the opportunity to transcend the four seas and eight continents, go to a wider world, and seek immortality.

Nothing could be more tempting than this.

Moreover, everyone knows that Li Yi is the senior disciple of the Zhao Family Martial Arts School.

That extraordinary person who single-handedly destroyed Liangzhou.

The presence of such a legendary figure in charge of the martial arts school drove the warriors even more mad.

Boom!

Sudden.

A bolt of silver lightning fell from the sky and struck the Zhao Family Martial Arts School's training ground with pinpoint accuracy.

The martial arts students who were practicing were startled.

The next moment, a tall man, standing on auspicious clouds, wielding the aura of dragons and tigers, and draped in rosy light, appeared from the lightning. His gaze was calm, and he exuded a divine might. The mere aura he emanated was enough to make all martial artists tremble.

"Meet Senior Brother."

On the training ground, the instructor, who was at the Refining Qi Realm, was extremely excited when he saw the newcomer. He immediately knelt down on one knee and performed a grand salute.

Upon hearing the instructor's words, the other disciples in the training ground were all shocked.

Is this the legendary senior disciple, Li Yi?

The legend is indeed true; he is a god-like being, and no one else in the world can be found.

Li Yi glanced at him and seemed to recognize him; he had seen him a few times when the Zhao Family Martial Arts School was being rebuilt. "Junior brother, get up. I came in a hurry and won't stay long. If you have anything to tell me, please let me know."

"Please give me your instructions, Senior Brother," the instructor said hastily.

"Have the four great families arrange for people to send back those who crossed over from other worlds. Then have someone notify Liangzhou and tell them that Earth is safe now and those who want to go back can do so."

Li Yi paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, arrange for a group of virtuous disciples to go to Tianchang City and join the Dao Court. Opportunities await you there. Well, that's all for now."

"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I guarantee the mission will be completed," the instructor, who was at the Refining Qi Realm, said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

Li Yi nodded slightly.

He had great confidence in the people of the Zhao Family Martial Arts School, especially the earliest batch of disciples, after all, they had undergone numerous trials, and people in this world respected their teachers the most.

Besides, it's only natural for the martial arts school's disciples to serve their senior brother, Li Yi.

Of course, Li Yi did not disappoint them. In the past, he would give the martial arts school opportunities, and now he has found a good way out for the school's disciples.

Once promising disciples join the Daoist court, they will switch from martial arts to Daoist cultivation, and achieving immortality will be within their grasp.

And so on.

The martial arts school and the Taoist temple will become a massive force born around Li Yi. This force will not only protect both realms, but will also accompany Li Yi in his future conquests.

"That's all for now, go ahead and get busy. But as the senior brother, I didn't bring anything good with me during this battle, so I'll treat you to some meat." After saying that, Li Yi waved his hand, leaving behind a piece of demon king meat the size of a millstone, and then left.

For a martial artist, resources like the flesh of a demon king are like a gold mine.
