Chapter 219: Cross-border and strange objects

"What? There is such a thing. The Investigation Bureau gave the Golden Academy quota to Gu Mengping?"

At this moment, inside the Peace Financial Building.

Li Yi, Lin Yue, Zhao Lingfu, Zheng Gong, Lu Jue and others gathered together and started a meeting between teams. However, they did not expect that as soon as Li Yi woke up and walked out of the Investigation Bureau, he received such bad news. The not-so-favored Gu Mengping actually surpassed Li Yi and won the quota.

This made Lin Yue extremely angry.

"This is very unfair. Although Gu Mengping is a bit older, we were the ones who handled the recent incidents, especially this demon-killing operation. Without us, who knows how many people would have died. If the Investigation Bureau really insists on doing it, then I will resign from my position as a foreign combatant right now."

"Lin Yue, calm down." Zhao Lingfu said calmly, "Li Yi, is there any inside story behind this matter? I don't believe that the people in the Investigation Bureau would be so short-sighted as to not give you the Golden Academy spot but give it to that Gu Mengping."

Apart from anything else, the mother behind Li Yi is enough for the Investigation Bureau to take it seriously.

Zhang Lei knew Li Yi's special nature. If he was not sent to the Golden Academy, if something happened, the consequences would be disastrous.

So in his opinion, there was only one possibility for Gu Mengping to get the quota, and that was that the Investigation Bureau had a reason to do so.

Li Yi sat on the sofa and said slowly: "Zhao Lingfu, you are very sensitive. There is indeed an inside story. The reason why Gu Mengping squeezed me out and successfully won the quota to enter the Golden Academy is not because of his merits and qualifications, but because of his breakthrough in the past few days."

"Gu Mengping is no longer a spiritual master, but has successfully condensed his soul and become a powerful soul master."

"What? There is such a thing."

When everyone heard Li Yi's words, they opened their eyes wide in shock.

A breakthrough at this critical juncture?

I'm sure you're not kidding.

But looking at Li Yi's serious expression, everyone understood that Li Yi was not lying and this matter was true.

"No wonder, no wonder the Investigation Bureau compromised. The appearance of a cultivator in the Soul Realm must be taken seriously. If Gu Mengping is not given a place in the Golden Academy, once he makes a fuss, it will be out of control. There is no other Soul Realm expert in Tianchang City now." Zhao Lingfu said with a frown.

Lin Yue's anger had also subsided a lot at this moment, but she was still unconvinced and said, "Since the Golden Academy's quota is based on realm, then we shouldn't have gone on missions before. We should just go to the Wonderful Item Training Room and practice hard. When we are strong enough, we will have everything. The Investigation Bureau's behavior is really disheartening."

"We can't help it. Li Yi is only at the spiritual realm now. He is two levels lower, so his competitiveness is indeed weak. If Li Yi is at the spiritual realm now, maybe there is still some hope." Zhao Lingfu shook his head and said, "This is the era of cultivators. We must respect personal martial arts. To put it bluntly, if Gu Mengping starts fighting over a disagreement, who can stop him?"

"To put it bluntly, the Investigation Bureau is now afraid of Gu Mengping, so they gave out the quota to appease him, and thus Li Yi became the one who was sacrificed."

Li Yi said at this moment: "The Investigation Bureau is not completely unreasonable. They said they are willing to compensate me with a cross-border quota, but I am wondering whether I should agree to this matter."

"Is it true that we will compensate one cross-border participant with a spot?" For a moment, everyone looked at Li Yi in disappointment.

I thought I would not be able to get a place in the Golden Academy, but unexpectedly there was a surprise.

"These words came from the mouth of a senior official of the Investigation Bureau. I think they are very credible." Li Yi said, "There is no need for the Investigation Bureau to deceive me with fake news."

Lin Yue immediately said, "If we can really get a cross-border quota, it won't be a loss. At least it's better than nothing. After all, we've been busy all the time. It would be unreasonable not to give us some compensation. Li Yi, this quota is what we deserve. Let's agree to it first, otherwise we will get nothing after we really resign."

"That makes sense. It's already great to get a place as a cross-border person." Zhao Lingfu said, "According to the information I got, it's hard to say whether you can become a cross-border person after entering the Golden Academy. Instead of that, it's better to become a cross-border person now. Besides, Li Yi, you have a strange object training room with a very good training environment. You don't really need to enter the Golden Academy for the time being."

"Yes, Li Yi, becoming a cross-border person first means an extra guarantee. At least you will have a place to hide when facing the Tianqing incident in the future, so you won't be left with no way out." At this time, Lu Jue also spoke up, suggesting that Li Yi become a cross-border person. After all, it is very difficult to compete with a strong man in the Soul Realm now.

"So many people want you to enter the Golden Academy, isn't it because they hope you can cross borders in the future? Now that you can directly become a cross-border person, I don't think it matters whether you go to the Golden Academy or not." Zheng Gong also said seriously.

Lin Yue snorted softly and said, "That being said, I can't bear to give up the competition and let Gu Mengping get away with it."

Li Yi listened to what these people said and had a general idea in his mind.

That is to become a cross-border person first, and then enter the Golden Academy.

He doesn't need to rely on the special recruitment quota of the Investigation Bureau. He can completely rely on his own practice value to enter the Golden Academy. With the improvement of his martial arts level and the evolution of his body, his practice value may be able to break through to one thousand percent.

This is not a joke, but there is really a good opportunity because his cultivation value is increasing all the time.

Moreover, cross-border means new opportunities, and you may be able to obtain some practice methods to speed up the increase of practice values.

"But speaking of cross-border, I recently talked about this topic with my teacher."

Suddenly, Lin Yue changed the subject and said, "My teacher said that there are generally two ways for us practitioners to cross the boundary. One is the soul crossing the boundary, and the other is the physical crossing the boundary. The so-called soul crossing the boundary means that one's own realm reaches the soul realm, and then the soul leaves the body, passes through the wormhole, and enters another world. However, the risk is very high. It is easy to not come back once you go and get lost in some unknown world. And these cross-border people who cannot come back are called Silent Ones here." "How did the Silent Ones come from?" Everyone was stunned, and then subconsciously glanced at the room behind them.

In that room were Li Yi's parents and both were Silent.

Come to think of it, did something go wrong when Li Yi's parents' souls crossed over and that's why they've been in a coma ever since?
"It turns out that the Silent Ones are at least strong in the Soul Realm. Oh my God, this is the first time I know this. I always thought that the Silent Ones became silent because of physical problems caused by their rapid cultivation. I didn't expect that their souls had crossed over." Lu Jue opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

Zhao Xiaoxiao on the side was also very shocked.

It turns out that Li Yi’s parents were already powerful soul realm masters six years ago.

What kind of family is this?

No wonder Li Yi’s talent is so amazing. Now she completely understands it.

Li Yi was also stunned for a moment, with an incredible look in his eyes.

I didn't expect that the parents I had taken care of for six years were so strong before they became silent.

"Li Yi, this is the reason why your parents have not been able to wake up. Their souls have left their bodies and entered another world, so they are dormant and unable to wake up. Only when your parents' souls cross back again can they wake up again." Lin Yue said.

Li Yi was silent for a moment and said, "So that's what happened. So my parents' souls are trapped in another world?"

"It is most likely so." Lin Yue said, "So there are risks in soul crossing, but the practitioners six years ago did not know that. They continued to explore boldly, which led to the emergence of a large number of silent ones. However, at that time, uncle and aunt were able to reach the soul realm, which was really amazing."

"Li Yi, I'm sorry. After asking my teacher, I really can't find a way to treat my uncle and aunt."

"Sister Lin, this is good news for me. At least I know that my parents are living well in the other world and are not really in a coma like vegetative state." Li Yi didn't know why he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders at this moment.

Lin Yue said: "Li Yi, it's good that you think this way, but I believe that sooner or later your parents will come back across the boundary again. The second method of crossing the boundary that I mentioned, crossing the boundary with the physical body, actually has a threshold. It requires strong energy to support it, forcibly opening the wormhole to distort the space and form a door to cross the boundary."

"And the source of this powerful energy is the strange object. In other words, the strange object can be used as a source of cross-border energy."

"Does it take a rare object to open the door to the world?" Zhao Lingfu said immediately, "No wonder the complete rare objects are forcibly recycled, but why are the incomplete rare objects not recycled?"

Lin Yue replied: "My teacher said that a complete object has sufficient energy and is not easily damaged. It can support repeated cross-border energy sources. However, an incomplete object cannot. A single energy supply will damage the incomplete object, so the value of using an incomplete object is greatly reduced."

"So that's how it is." Li Yi's expression also changed, and he resolved a doubt in his heart.

Not only him, but everyone else also realized that they did not expect that a complete strange object could be the key to cross the border.

"Li Yi, the cross-border person that the Investigation Bureau wants you to become must be a physical cross-border person. They must have a complete strange object that can open the door to the cross-border. This is a good opportunity for you, because no matter what kind of world it is, as long as you go there, you will definitely gain a lot. Moreover, the cross-border people of the Investigation Bureau are guaranteed. If they can let you go, they can let you come back."

Sister Lin said, "You should know that most boundary crossers are more gamblers. They can cross the boundary, but it is very troublesome to come back. They can easily be trapped if they are not careful. I heard from the teacher that many practitioners have not appeared again after crossing the boundary. It's not that they don't want to come back, but they lack the methods and means to come back."

"That's true. It's easy to cross the border, but hard to come back." Li Yi thought of his experience in the dangerous ghost street.

It's easy to get lost in the ghost street, but if you want to get back you need a ghost horse to show you the way.

"But there are dangers in crossing boundaries, because a new world is full of unknowns, and not every world is peaceful. Some worlds are even more dangerous than ours, and some worlds may not even be explored by humans. The risks of exploring new worlds are high, but the rewards are also high. If we can find a peaceful world suitable for survival and practice, it will be a good thing for everyone." Lin Yue said again.

"It would be great if we could get a complete rare item in our hands. Then we would be able to master the method of cross-border communication." Zhao Lingfu sighed at this time.

Lin Yue shook her head and said, "Even if we have a complete artifact, it won't work. We still need equipment. The machine that opens the wormhole gate is very expensive. It takes a lot of money to build a machine. However, with the advancement of technology, the price of equipment will continue to drop. But complete artifacts are hard to come by. The skull mural in the Investigation Bureau is an incomplete artifact, and some cities don't even have an incomplete artifact."

After listening to Sister Lin's words, Li Yi gained a new understanding of cross-border and rare objects.

"Sister Lin, do you think that if I keep crossing boundaries, can I find my parents back?" Suddenly, Li Yi thought of something and asked.

"Of course it's possible." Lin Yue nodded and said, "And every world has some unique methods of cultivation. Maybe some of them can help us find our loved ones."

Reminded of this, Li Yi immediately thought of how to use the mud horse.

It’s just that we return to our loved ones based on the guidance of our blood, not the guidance of our souls.

But the principle is the same, there are indeed infinite possibilities in other worlds.
