Chapter 1146: Chapter 1146

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Li Yi stayed in the Incense World to recuperate, while also waiting for Tian Gong Taoist to craft the divine weapon he needed. After more than four months of recovery, his strength had indeed improved significantly.

Of course, this was largely thanks to the help of the Purple Dragon Demon.

However, even after consuming a True Dragon six thousand zhang long, the divine blood within Li Yi was only restored to thirty percent of its peak state, far from a full recovery.

But the good news was that during this time, his Primordial Spirit Dharma had made a breakthrough, becoming stronger than before, now possessing six petals. Once it blooms into nine petals, it would be perfect.

Naturally, this was thanks to the help of the Red Lotus and incense.

However, reaching this point was already the limit.

The Incense World could not provide much more help to Li Yi, because the limits of this world were only so. To make any changes, he must cross worlds to find new opportunities.

"Go to my world, it is a true Great Cultivation Realm, where Demon Gods are nothing. To regain your state, you must break out of this pond and step into a broader world."

At this moment, Hua Qing’s residual soul within the Sword Coin emerged. His state was much better than before because he had come to the Incense World and absorbed some of its nourishment.

"I always feel like you’re trying to trap me," Li Yi glanced and said.

"How can you baselessly tarnish my innocence?" Hua Qing’s residual soul immediately got anxious. "I am showing you a bright path. In your current state, unless you can hunt a few Demon Gods, it’s impossible to activate divine blood regeneration, but in a greater world, this problem is but a minor issue, nothing of consequence."

"You must have noticed, that within these worlds, whether it’s the Enlightened, Demon God, or Profound Immortal of the Xuanxian Continent, their strength and realm have all reached the limit. Although you’ve bypassed this limit through dual cultivation, the outcome remains the same."

"Without sufficient resources, it’s impossible to elevate you to a new height."

Hearing this, Li Yi fell silent.

Hua Qing was right. To progress, grow, or even just heal his injuries, Li Yi needed new resources. Among the worlds he had access to, only the Barbaric World could temporarily provide some resources for him to continue improving.

But to achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, for his Divine Body to fully grow, and to complete his cultivation of the Divine Martial Path, relying on just one Barbaric World wasn’t enough.

"Right now, everything is calm. If you don’t seize this opportunity to cultivate across worlds, when calamity strikes, you might find yourself powerless," Hua Qing’s residual soul continued.

"Alright, you’re right." Li Yi thought for a moment and felt convinced.

Or perhaps he felt there was no other road to take and could try his luck finding new opportunities.

"So, tell me, to which world do you want me to go?" he asked again.

Hua Qing’s residual soul said, "The name isn’t important. Once you arrive, you will know the vastness of that land. Moreover, as I mentioned before, simply crossing worlds isn’t enough to reach that place; you need the Sword Coin."

"Fortunately, the Sword Coin has almost been repaired, and taking you across worlds shouldn’t be difficult."

Then his residual soul materialized, and the Sword Coin appeared, radiating with brilliant light, tearing through the void, a profoundly deep passageway appearing before Li Yi.

"So quick, are you worried I might change my mind and refuse to go?" Li Yi glanced over.

"This is the path back home for me, so I am naturally quite familiar with it," Hua Qing’s residual soul sighed.

Li Yi looked towards the passageway, sensing no danger, only that this space tunnel crossed one world after another, wandering through the seams of worlds, eventually leading to an entirely unknown place.

Such a profound space gate couldn’t be opened by just a cross-border machine; multiple consecutive world crossings are needed to have even a slight chance.

But the chances are so slim.

Every world is connected to others, and finding the correct route takes an inconceivable amount of time.

"Then let’s go see it, and by the way, send you back home, lest you die away from home," Li Yi thought for a moment and decided to take the risk, as he had obtained divine weapons – an armor and a sword – with the help of Tian Gong Taoist, which could handle danger.

Immediately, he left some information, packed his things, and stepped into the space tunnel. The most update n0vels are published on novelFɪre.net

The tunnel seemed endless, but under the protection of the Sword Coin’s light, Li Yi encountered no danger.

He passed through the first world, a modern-day apocalyptic world, where countless mutated monsters emerged, and survivors battled these creatures across the land.

Li Yi flew forward, soon encountering the second world, another Cultivation World, but for some reason, it was overrun with demons, cultivators committed all sorts of evil, harming lives, with chaos everywhere.

Unbearable to watch, he struck out, the Thunder Power transforming into a fierce tiger, leaping into that world.

The tiger roared, slaughtering monsters, attempting to save that world.

The power of Li Yi’s strike could last for a long time. He estimated that the divine power manifested as a tiger could exist for about three years, after which its energy would deplete, returning to nothingness.

He could only wonder if this time might bring some hope to that world.

"There are too many worlds all under heaven, you can’t save them all. That world, I’ve been there, the court treats human life as cheap, demons eat people, cultivators are greedy and lustful, and the common folk... ha, apathetic and indifferent. I once passed on skills to a scholar with a heart to save the world, but once he attained mastery, he forgot his original intent and still wielded power oppressively, even more malignantly than other cultivators." Hua Qing’s residual soul said, reminiscing as he looked upon that world.

"Do you know why after all these years I’ve only invited you to my home? It’s not that there aren’t more excellent cultivators than you, but many are unworthy; they crave wealth, lust, power, fame... ultimately falling halfway."

"So these people deserve to be trapped and die in this little world."

"Listen to you, I too fear death, crave power." Li Yi replied.

Hua Qing sighed, "That’s different. If you were lustful, how come so many beauties did not sway you? Even the captivating Immortals alone would cause most cultivators to fall. If you craved power, you would have become Emperor of the Four Seas and Eight Continents. If you coveted wealth, you wouldn’t have generously distributed so many treasures to others..."

"Everyone has their desires, but the key is whether you are trapped by them. Cultivation isn’t just about power gaining but an ongoing process of breaking inner chains."

"If you can’t break these chains, your future achievements will be limited. Isn’t it true that many promising Evolvers from the Golden Academy never returned after crossing to other worlds? They weren’t just afraid to die but entangled by the fame and wealth of other smaller worlds, unwilling to move on."

"Even the cultivators of the End of Dharma World are like that. If the end hadn’t come, would they happily follow you across worlds? That’s because they couldn’t give up their positions of power, only willing to compromise when faced with life and death."

Li Yi said, "You’re full of grand arguments; it’s a pity you’re not in sales."
