Chapter 1182: Chapter 1182

Since boarding the World Boat, eight months have swiftly passed.

This time is not long for the cultivators in the Heavenly Realm, even somewhat short, as cultivators are immortal beings who don’t care about one or two years.

But for Li Yi, he has experienced many things, which can be considered particularly exciting and have also changed his fate in the Heavenly Realm.

The World Boat stopped at the Third Layer Heaven.

As the doors opened, a violet Divine Light flew out from a Secret Realm within the World Boat, followed by more than ten silhouettes, each emitting a powerful Heavenly General aura.

The violet Divine Light vanished in an instant, swiftly leaving the area near the World Boat, racing towards the east.

Li Yi felt the vastness of the Heavenly Realm, galloping above the sky, several stars flickering around him, evolving the Heavenly God Light Technique, moving at an unbelievable speed.

Along the way, silently and silently, his figure could even pass directly through many tangible and intangible things without leaving any trace.

If not in the Heavenly Realm, on Earth, this Divine Power could even pass through time wormholes, entering another space.

Li Yi has learned many divine skills, taking every opportunity to practice them, after all, practice makes perfect.

Moreover, the divine skills and spells of the Heavenly Realm surpass all the spells he had learned before; now that his strength has increased, this shortcoming must naturally not exist.

"Hua Qing, this is the Third Layer Heaven where your hometown is located, point me in a direction, and I’ll send you back." Li Yi whispered secretly.

"Head east, keep going east, once we arrive, I’ll remind you. Despite going through so much, I, Hua Qing, have a moment to return to my homeland. Reflecting on these years’ experiences, like a dream, I should have stayed in Emperor City enjoying endless joy. Alas, shouldn’t have been reckless, wandering everywhere otherwise wouldn’t have ended up ." Hua Qing has awakened and sighed.

Li Yi said, "After returning, cultivate well. Consider this a learned lesson, pay attention next time."

Hua Qing paused and said, "In my current situation, I really don’t know what will happen after returning. Now I have no cultivation, no strength; perhaps what you said earlier may be right."

"My Emperor City might have already declined, and perhaps it’s been completely looted by the former concubines and maidservants. If I appear , it’s indeed a very dangerous situation."

"Now my combat power isn’t even equal to a Heavenly Soldier, although burning can still release a bit of Emperor’s power, it’s useless. So, I want to ask you for another favor."

Suddenly, Hua Qing became somewhat pleading.

"What bad idea did you come up with again?" Li Yi was suspicious.

Hua Qing said, "How can it be a bad idea? It’s beneficial for you, too. If everything goes smoothly, you might even inherit a portion of my estate. The estate of a Heavenly Emperor is very abundant, don’t you want it?"

"Tell me." Li Yi said.

"I want you to return to Emperor City under my name, as Emperor Hua Qing. This way, it’ll be easier for me to know how much of Emperor City is still under my control, and how many people are loyal to me." Hua Qing said.

Li Yi immediately scolded, "Nonsense, you old man, trying to get me into trouble again. If I appear under your name as Emperor Hua Qing, won’t your former enemies tear me apart? I’m only at the Heavenly General Level, not a Divine Emperor."

"Using me as bait to lure out traitors, your abacus is really cracking."

He immediately sensed the danger and rejected it on the spot.

"Don’t be so quick to refuse, you are now a direct lineage of the Heavenly God Royal Family, have a group of Heavenly Generals, and Heavenly King Guards. Plus, your Heavenly God Arm Ring contains a Divine Emperor’s power, what are you afraid of?" Hua Qing said, "Moreover, my Emperor City is in a remote location, it’s impossible for other Heavenly Emperor experts to be there. You returning with my identity can legally and rightfully inherit everything of mine."

"As for what you can get, it’s all yours, how about it?"

"Including your concubines?" Li Yi asked.

Hua Qing said, "I will handle that myself, besides, you have the Dragon Girl and Goddess by your side, isn’t that enough for you day and night rotations? How can you keep thinking about someone else’s concubines? It’s unethical behavior. Besides, weren’t you indifferent to beauty? You weren’t tempted even by the beautiful immortal before."

"I was just asking, why are you nervous." Li Yi said, "But although your suggestion has some logic, considering how you almost got me killed before, I decide to observe after going to your hometown."

"If there’s no big danger, I’m willing to help you manage Emperor City. If there’s really not a single tile left, then sorry, I’ll only slip away. Now, with my identity as a direct lineage of the Heavenly God Royal Family, it’s very useful, no need to risk it for money."

Hua Qing sighed, "Alright, you go to Emperor City first to observe. If feasible, then pretend to be me and reclaim everything. If not, assess the situation and leave me then return."

"With the Heavenly God Clan backing you, your future cultivation path is destined to be smooth. In the future, you might become a Divine Emperor. After I regain the throne, we’ll sit down and discuss the Dao when we meet again."

He wasn’t demanding, after all, Li Yi now is different. He’s the genuine second generation rich kid in the Heavenly Realm, traveling with ten Divine Generals and a Heavenly King Guard, such treatment truly makes it unnecessary to covet his estate.

Li Yi continued to use the Heavenly God Light Technique heading east.

The Third Layer Heaven is vast and boundless; trying to reach Huaqing Emperor City will probably take a long journey.

"Heavenly King, where is Taiyi going? Traveling is not a solution. Why not lend a hand to Taiyi, Heavenly King?" A female Divine General couldn’t help but ask secretly at this moment.

The Cold Mountain Heavenly King replied calmly, "Don’t be impatient. Taiyi is coming to the Third Layer Heaven for training. You only need to follow, and this Heavenly King will not take action easily. Even when traveling, it’s up to Taiyi to decide. Moreover, haven’t you noticed along the way that Taiyi is refining Divine Power and Good Technique?"

"Taiyi has just received the heritage and has much to learn. This Heavenly King estimates that he needs at least a hundred years of wandering to master everything, with hopes of stepping into the Heavenly King Realm. This escort mission is very important. If we encounter any danger, you must be prepared to die in battle."

"Yes, Heavenly King." The female Divine General replied solemnly and asked no more questions.

They traveled day and night for ten days.

During this time, Li Yi crossed mountains, seas, and countless nations of cultivators. Finally, under Hua Qing’s guidance, he found the Emperor City he mentioned at the edge of the continent.

This Emperor City spans three thousand miles. Although not huge, it is situated in a vibrant land of green mountains and rivers. Though Spiritual Energy is not abundant, it has been deliberately modified to gather the energy of tens of thousands of miles, full of spiritual elegance and creation of myriad wonders.

However, no matter what, this does not change the fact that it is a remote and desolate place.

It’s not even marked on the Heavenly Realm map.

"How did you and Old Man think to build an Emperor City in such a remote place?" Li Yi stopped to take a break.

Hua Qing said, "Because I was born here. Once I achieved the Heavenly Emperor status, I naturally wanted to benefit my hometown. Moreover, the Heavenly Realm is vast with countless strong warriors. Building the Emperor City in a remote place has its advantages, as it’s less likely to attract attention. If I had built the Emperor City in a prime location, do you think it would still exist now?"

"Moreover, an Emperor City can bless a million miles. When I was alive, this place was a paradise, attracting countless Loose Cultivators seeking refuge."

Li Yi did not pay attention to Old Man’s ramblings. After resting briefly, he entered the Emperor City.

Contrary to his imagination.

Although it seemed like a paradise, there were not many cultivators inside the Emperor City, and many buildings were damaged, with no one taking care of them. The atmosphere was filled with a sense of killing and chaos.

Li Yi’s arrival immediately drew a lot of attention, including Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. The gaze of these cultivators was not friendly; instead, it carried a strong malice.

Perhaps because of a team of Divine Generals following behind, intimidating these people.

Realizing the unusual power behind Li Yi, they quickly withdrew their gaze and dispersed like a flock, soon disappearing without a trace in the Emperor City.

"This place is not a paradise; it feels more like a land of chaos, a dark city." Li Yi immediately judged the place in his heart.

Hua Qing also realized this point, falling silent as he sensed the chaos here.

This confirmed his greatest fear had materialized.

Even if a Heavenly Emperor has disappeared, as long as there is no confirmed death news, the Emperor City shouldn’t be in such a state because there were also Heavenly Kings and forces under his command, and maintaining an Emperor City shouldn’t be an issue at all.

"Li Yi, go to the center of the Emperor City and see if the Emperor City Guard I established is still there. The guard’s commander was two people: one was the Heavenly King Qinglan, who was once my concubine. She commanded countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, being one of the few massive forces of the Emperor City. The other was the Shadow Clothes Heavenly King, also a loyal subordinate of mine." After a moment of silence, Hua Qing suddenly spoke.

"Alright, I’ll take a look." Li Yi agreed without hesitation.

However, everyone tacitly understood that something significant must have caused this state of the Emperor City, but clarifying the situation might also let Old Man give up hope.

He continued forward with the Divine Generals, Dragon Girl, and Heavenly King. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on N0veI.Fiɾe.net

Realizing the potential danger, everyone became vigilant.

The cultivators mingling in Hua Qing Emperor City were not foolish. Seeing the divine generals, they dared not provoke them in the slightest, merely guessing to themselves which great force’s young master was out visiting.

However, Li Yi’s high-profile approach also had some drawbacks. Soon, the news of a Heavenly God Clan escort team appearing in the city spread far and wide.

Li Yi arrived at the center of the Emperor City. Some buildings here were also damaged, but the condition was much better than the outer city. Nearby stood a massive green tower, reaching the sky, actually a rare Heavenly King Soldier.

"It’s still here. This is the Green Gold Sky-reaching Tower, which I personally forged and later gifted to Qinglan. After Qinglan took over the Emperor City Guard, she placed this Heavenly King Soldier here as the resting place for the Emperor City Guard." Upon seeing a familiar item, Hua Qing’s eyes lit up.

With this Green Gold Sky-reaching Tower here, it means his concubine, the Heavenly King Qinglan, is also around. He might be able to contact her, gather his former subordinates, reorganize the Emperor City, and restore its former glory.

Of course, Hua Qing also knew the fickleness of human nature.

Therefore, he wanted to use Li Yi to test the reality, as there were countless years of accumulated wealth in the Emperor City during his time as the Heavenly Emperor. Recovering it without aid would be very difficult.

Although he acquired some things in the small world, it was insufficient to support him in reaching the Heavenly Emperor Realm.
