Chapter 1102: Chapter 1102

When the Immortal Dao Battleship drifted into Tianchang City, Yun Feizi, who was in charge of managing the Tao Court, couldn’t help but gaze into the distance for a moment. Other cultivation experts also noticed this information.

After a year, there’s a certain feeling of things having changed.

Many former cultivation experts have already become sect leaders, with dozens of disciples under them. It’s believed that in just a few decades, they can fully restore their sects’ past glory.

The Immortal Dao Battleship didn’t fly toward the Tao Court but landed over a skyscraper in Tianchang City.

This building is quite special, made of Red Gold, indestructible, yet full of a sci-fi vibe, and even equipped with an intelligent brain inside.

This Red Gold Tower has replaced the previous Peace Finance Building. Now standing in the city, it appears particularly conspicuous because it constantly emits a precious glow, seemingly afraid others might not realize it is a treasure.

If the Tao Court weren’t nearby, this building would probably have been stolen.

However, before Li Yi appeared, a gigantic barbaric bull beside the building was already aware. It raised its large, clear eyes and stared at that Immortal Dao Battleship.

"Moo moo!" Niu Niu seemed to have caught Li Yi’s scent and immediately let out a cheerful cry.

"You’re quite lucky, Niu Niu. After surviving that disaster, you gained an opportunity and are now on the path of cultivation. With your wilderness mutation and cultivation technique, your strength has improved greatly; even transforming shouldn’t be a problem."

Li Yi landed on a Xiangyun and couldn’t help but smile at this Niu Niu.

Unfortunately, his other pet, Good Wings, was missing. He didn’t know whether it died in the disaster when Earth was invaded or escaped somewhere else.

However, if Good Wings had fled elsewhere, it should have returned by now.

So, Li Yi guessed that Good Wings was probably hunted by a Great Demon as prey, a matter he could only hold against the Demon God Realm.

Moreover, this time upon his return, he also intended to settle past scores. After all, he couldn’t let the enemies live too comfortably, lest they think Earthlings wouldn’t dare seek revenge after being struck.

"Welcome home, Master."

As Li Yi approached the building, an artificial intelligence voice rang out, followed by the appearance of the robot Lan Ji accompanied by several service robots.

These robots are humanoid and look no different from normal humans. Moreover, their intelligent systems equip them with intelligence comparable to humans.

"Lan Ji, besides you, who else is residing in the building?" Li Yi asked, while simultaneously taking out a piece of Mountain Lord-level mutant beast meat from the Red Gold Five Elements Bracelet and throwing it to Niu Niu.

Although Niu Niu looks like a cow, it’s a genuine wilderness-blooded mutant beast that doesn’t favor vegetarian food.

Niu Niu received a piece of Mountain Lord-level mutant beast and mooed excitedly. It immediately stashed it in its storage magical artifact, planning to savor it later.

"Reporting to Master, those currently residing in the building are Zheng Lan, Lin Yue, Long Yu, Zhao Lingfu, Zhao Xiaoxiao, and Fan Zhizhou..." Lan Ji said.

Li Yi’s expression shifted slightly upon hearing this: "So many people? Even Zhao Lingfu and Fan Zhizhou have returned."

He remembered they had previously left Tianchang City to seek opportunities in different realms. Later, with the Demon God Realm invading and chaos on Earth, many people vanished. He didn’t expect not only did they survive, but they also returned successfully to Tianchang City.

It seems they’ve undergone significant experiences over these years.

But it’s good they’ve returned; at least the old acquaintances are still alive.

Being alive is better than anything.

"Inform them that I’ve returned and if they have time, to come here and gather," Li Yi said after a moment of thought.

"Understood, Master." Lan Ji agreed and fell silent, clearly sending messages to everyone.

Li Yi wanted to gather with them and learn about the changes on Earth over the past year.

With those messages sent out.

A tunneling light flew over, and once it dissipated, a mature, beautiful woman with long purple hair approached with a smile. She was Zheng Lan, who primarily cultivated cultivation techniques, though due to the effects of injecting a genetic potion, her hair was an unusual color.

"Li Yi." When Zheng Lan spotted that figure in the hall, her eyes brightened, and her smile widened.

"It’s been a year, and you’ve become more beautiful." Li Yi said with a smile.

"Oh, really? It seems cultivation techniques still have some effects." Zheng Lan giggled: "When did you return? Why didn’t you notify me in advance, so I could prepare."

As she spoke, she reached Li Yi’s side, proactively taking his arm and asking quietly: "Honestly, did you find a bunch of beauties while you were away?"

Li Yi said righteously: "How could I be that kind of person? I was striving diligently outside, and just after establishing a nation in the Barbaric World, before even enjoying being its king, I rushed back to Earth."

"Then why didn’t you come to see me, are you finding my cultivation too low, useless, so you forgot about me." Zheng Lan glanced at him with some grievance. Thıs content belongs to noⅴelfire.net

"Absolutely not." Li Yi said: "We are old friends after all..."

But before he finished speaking, Zheng Lan quietly said again: "Do you have time tonight, I’ll come to find you, I’ve hit a bottleneck in my cultivation and need your guidance."

"Hmm?" Li Yi looked at her in surprise.

But Zheng Lan’s expression remained as usual, as if she had said something trivial.

"This guidance... is it serious?" Li Yi asked.

Zheng Lan smiled: "Are you wanting it to be serious or not serious."

"Li Yi doesn’t have time, Zheng Lan, if there’s anything you don’t understand in cultivation, feel free to ask me; I can help." At this moment, a short-haired woman wearing treasure armor and having a treasure blade at her waist walked in with a smile.

"Sister Lin." Li Yi immediately said.

Lin Yue smiled: "Li Yi, long time no see, I heard from Tao Court people you went to the Barbaric World; however, that world is too dangerous, with a high combat power. You haven’t encountered any trouble this past year, have you?"

"What trouble could I have? It’s just normal cultivation." Li Yi said: "Sister Lin, you’ve made quite progress over this past year."

"Way behind you though. I traveled to the Xuanxian Continent, realizing cultivation conditions there are also quite bad, with too many cultivators and scarce resources at the bottom; it’s not even as good as on Earth. No wonder people from Xuanxian Continent want to invade Earth," Lin Yue said, shaking her head with a smile.

Li Yi said: "Every world is actually lousy, not as great as imagined. When I went to the Barbaric World, wasn’t I nearly captured and sold as a slave? A few contemporaries from Golden Academy were stuck laboring in mines for several years before being rescued."

"Therefore, in any world, strength is key. Even in the most peaceful and prosperous places, there will be impoverished people; hence, I’ve always strived to cultivate hard, to change everything, preventing many bad things from happening."

"Sister Lin does not have such awareness, but you are right; if not for you, last year’s formidable enemies would still be on Earth, and we would likely have long been dead by the hands of Great Demons," Lin Yue said: "Though I’ve been cultivating hard over this year, my potential is limited, achieving my current cultivation level is already commendable."

Like most evolvers on Earth, she focuses on cultivation techniques.

Although the Tao Court has been established, and cultivation methods are spreading, many who have embarked on the cultivation path didn’t opt to dual-cultivate the cultivation method because the cultivation speed of methods is slow as well.

Li Yi knows better than anyone, he was stuck in the Five Qi Realm for a long time.

Other old acquaintances also arrived one after another.

"Mr. Li, grateful for your life-saving grace; if not for you killing the Great Demon invading the Four Seas and Eight Continents last year, the whole world might have been blood-washed by Great Demons. My Fan Family also wouldn’t have survived.

When Fan Zhizhou arrived, he immediately expressed his gratitude to Li Yi.

Li Yi said: "It was just a trivial effort, besides, when so many went to the Four Seas and Eight Continents for refuge, my relatives and friends were there; I’m not only eradicating the Great Demons for them but also for myself."

"It’s frustrating that my power is insufficient; the outside world is so vast, yet I always feel like a frog at the bottom of a well, never truly having lifted my head to see the world," Fan Zhizhou said, clenching his fists helplessly.

"Your potential isn’t bad. With time, battling Great Demons will be no problem. Growth requires time," Li Yi consoled.

But Lin Yue, nearby, said: "Li Yi, I started cultivating before you, I was the one who led you into the path initially, yet now I’m far behind you. Last year you could directly kill the Demon King, and now your powers have undoubtedly advanced further."

"People are different; most can’t grow to your level."

Li Yi replied: "Sister Lin, I’m just a bit luckier, nothing special."
