Chapter 221 Soul Realm
Last night, thunder and lightning struck the sky, and the cross-border door was opened again. A creature that seemed to be from mythology appeared. This made Li Yi begin to realize that the second sky-falling event might be coming soon. This time it was a sign, and when the real sky-falling event happens, what opens will not be a cross-border door.
Instead, countless gates will be opened, and no one knows how many mythical creatures and terrifying beings will invade the Earth by then.
All we know is that by that time the earth will no longer be suitable for survival, and the only way is to leave across the border and find a new world to migrate to.
Just like moving house.
However, all Li Yi can do is to practice hard in these few days. It is useless for him to worry about the changes in the outside world now. Only when his own strength is strong can he control the future.
He wasn't the only one who thought this.
Lin Yue, Zhao Lingfu, Lu Jue and others have been practicing hard in the training base during this period. They take turns using the magic weapon practice room, arranging their practice time reasonably, and striving to improve their strength. However, as spiritual beings, the practice effects of Lin Yue and Zhao Lingfu are not particularly obvious, while Lu Jue, Fang Hang, Zhao Xiaoxiao and others are still trying to find ways to break the influence of the illusion.
Lin Yue did not teach them any shortcuts, because doing so would reduce the opportunities for tempering, which would be detrimental to improving their cultivation values.
Of course, everything has its pros and cons. It is also beneficial for Lin Yue to use Li Yi's method to successfully break the illusion, allowing her to practice in the strange object training room earlier.
that's it.
Another three days passed.
Early in the morning of this day, Li Yi opened his eyes and woke up from his meditation. If he remembered correctly, he would be participating in a cross-border mission at noon today, and it was time for him to make some preparations.
"It's a pity that I haven't broken through to the Spiritual Perception Realm in these six days of practice, but my Qi and blood accumulation is almost there. I only need to open one acupoint to break through to the Training Acupoint Realm again. When the time comes, I will open nine acupoints and my strength will return to its peak again."
Li Yi took a deep breath, stretched his muscles, and then performed a set of fighting techniques to feel his physical condition.
However, the practice during this period was not without gain. At least his physical condition was better. Some hidden dangers and sequelae left over from before had all disappeared with the evolution of his body. In addition, a certain kind of perception had also been strengthened a lot. It was no longer intermittent, but he could really sense some dangers and situations in advance.
Obviously, Li Yi has taken another step towards breaking through his spiritual perception.
But now he couldn't continue practicing, he had to pack up and make some preparations.
Li Yi took a shower, changed into the familiar clothes made of Qionglong skin, and then packed some necessary things in a backpack, such as nutrient solution, resurrection pills, personal clothes, and even a mud horse, just in case he might need it. However, he did not bring the hanging spear. Although it was a very good weapon, it would consume a lot of energy to carry it all the time, so he chose to stay in the room.
pity.
The medicines brought from all over the world have been almost used up, otherwise it would have been a good idea to bring some more.
After finishing packing, Li Yi went downstairs with his backpack.
At this time, everyone downstairs gathered again. They knew the time Li Yi was going to leave, so they came from the training base to see him off.
"Li Yi, be careful in this cross-border operation. When you come back, remember to tell me about the other world. I want to know what the other world is like. If you have the chance, bring back some local specialties." Lin Yue said with a smile.
Zhao Lingfu smiled and said, "Maybe Li Yi will bring back a beauty from another world this time."
"This is a good suggestion. After all, the bride price in Tianchang City is high. Maybe there will be no need for a bride price in the other world. Haha." Zheng Gong also said with a smile.
"It's Li Yizhen's ability to bring back a beautiful woman. He will have someone to take care of him in the future. You can't expect me to take care of him every day." Lin Yue said without caring at all: "But I don't think anyone would be willing to come to Earth. There was a small-scale sky-falling incident two nights ago. It is said that mythical creatures have invaded here again, but they have not been found yet."
"Yes, it's becoming increasingly unsafe here, so cross-border travel is imperative. Li Yi hopes you'll be lucky this time and find a peaceful world." Zhao Lingfu said.
Li Yi said: "I'll try my best, but during the time I'm away, I hope you can take care of me if there's anything."
"Don't worry, I will help you take care of this place." Lin Yue said: "But you don't need me now. Isn't Zheng Lan doing a good job? She can help you take care of your parents very well."
To be honest, ordinary people can help Li Yi take care of his parents much better than she can.
At least not aware of his fucking presence.
As long as you are unaware, there is no danger.
"Zheng Lan has indeed helped me a lot. When I really find a safe world in the future, I will definitely bring her with me. Then we will cross the border together and live in a new world." Li Yi said.
Zheng Lan, who was standing by, burst into laughter when she heard this, and her mood suddenly became cheerful.
I didn't expect that I would be among the candidates for the future cross-border competition. It seems that all my recent hard work and efforts are worth it. I have to work harder in the future and cannot be complacent.
After all, for an ordinary person, having the opportunity to cross borders is like pie in the sky.
Time passed quickly as everyone chatted.
The conversation was interrupted by the roar of a helicopter outside.
"It looks like it's almost time. I should set off." Li Yi stood up and picked up his backpack.
"Go ahead, this cross-border cooperation is a great opportunity for you, you must seize it." Lin Yue said.
Li Yi nodded, then looked at everyone again, and then walked out of the building without looking back.
It's just a cross-border mission, not a life-and-death separation, so there's no need to say too much.
soon.
He got on the helicopter.
As the helicopter took off, Li Yi's figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Are you Li Yi? The last cross-border person in this mission?" In addition to the pilot, there was someone else on the helicopter. He was a young man in his twenties, wearing a special combat uniform, with short hair and a very strong body. He exuded an assertive and powerful aura.
"A master of the Spiritual Perception Realm?" Li Yi took a quick look and then said, "Yes, who are you?"
"Qin Bing, a foreign combatant of the Tianshan City Investigation Bureau, is also a member of this cross-border operation." The Spiritual Perception Realm master named Qin Bing said, "I have heard of you. The Tianchang City Investigation Bureau successfully recovered a broken and rare item, and you contributed the most. However, your realm is too low, and you are only at the Spiritual Perception Realm. To be honest, I do not recommend that you participate in this cross-border operation."
"If your realm is too low, your strength will be weak. Once you encounter any danger after crossing the boundary, you will be the first to die. I think you should reserve this place as a boundary crosser and wait until you reach the spiritual perception realm before participating in cross-boundary operations."
Li Yi glanced at him and said, "Since you think you shouldn't participate in cross-border operations because you are weak, then why are you participating?"
"What?" Qin Bing was stunned for a moment, then realized what Li Yi meant and couldn't help laughing: "Do you think I'm weak?"
"Isn't it? He's just at the Spiritual Perception Realm. It's not like I haven't killed anyone before. His strength is indeed not that good." Li Yi said calmly.
Even though he has retrained his martial arts and has reached the peak of the Blood Training Realm, he is still not inferior to a master of the Spiritual Perception Realm if he really fights against one. If he opens the Nine Apertures, the master of Spiritual Perception will be crushed by him and will not even have the chance to resist.
Qin Bing's expression froze. "I never knew you had killed a cultivator at the Spiritual Perception Realm. No wonder the Tianchang City Investigation Bureau dared to send you here. But you have to know that there are different levels of spiritual perception. A cultivator at the Spiritual Perception Realm who has mastered the art is much stronger than one who has not."
"Do you think those Spiritual Perception Realm masters I killed had no skills?" Li Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke slowly. At the same time, he regulated his Qi and blood. A burst of heat instantly surged out of his body, covering the entire cabin.
Before he got close, Qin Bing felt a heat coming towards him, and a dangerous aura emanated from Li Yi.
Although he was in the realm of inspiration, Qin Bing, a practitioner in the realm of spiritual perception, automatically felt the danger.
Unbelievable.
Qin Bing's expression moved slightly. With just a slight contact, he could feel Li Yi's uniqueness and extraordinaryness.
This kind of aura is definitely not something a practitioner in the spiritual realm can possess.
Immediately, he put away some of his contempt.
"It is said that this time we cross the border to explore a new world, and unfortunately, we are the first group of explorers. As the first group of crossers, going to an unknown new world has great risks and great benefits. If the exploration is completed and the new world is suitable for survival, then each of us crossers can get at least one hundred family members."
Qin Bing then changed the subject and revealed some information about this mission.
"The first batch of cross-border people in the new world?" Li Yi's expression changed: "Do you mean there will be a second batch, a third batch?"
"Of course. The main task of the first batch of cross-border people is to collect information and determine the degree of danger of that world and whether it is suitable for survival. Based on the information passed back by the first batch of cross-border people, the second batch of cross-border people will be organized to go in and explore. It is precisely because of this that the strength requirements for the first batch of cross-border people are not very high. After all, it is impossible to send a group of soul realm powerhouses for the first cross-border. If something unexpected happens and the losses are heavy, it will be terrible." Qin Bing said.
"That makes sense." Li Yi replied.
It seems that cross-border cooperation is also organized and disciplined, and not random.
But judging from the situation, he must have come into contact with many worlds after the cross-border operation began, otherwise he would not have such experience.
Flying with a helicopter.
Li Yi quickly discovered that he had left Tianchang City and was flying to an unknown place. However, he guessed that the cross-border location should not be very far away, otherwise he would not have used a helicopter. He should have used a plane, after all, the range of a helicopter is limited.
Taking this helicopter as an example, it would run out of fuel after flying about 500 kilometers. Based on this distance and the direction of flight, Li Yi estimated that it should be near Tianhe City.
really.
His guess was not wrong.
After flying for about an hour, the helicopter stopped at a special base in Tianhe City.
As soon as he landed, Li Yi felt a special energy field. The range of this energy field was very large, almost covering the entire base. Moreover, in this energy field, the cosmic energy was not only abundant but also unpolluted. It was like a large-sized training cabin, which made people feel incredible.
"A rare object. There is a complete rare object in this base." He immediately understood what was going on.
Recalling what Lin Yue said before.
Presumably, the complete strange object in this base should be the source of cross-border energy.
As the two cross-border people, Li Yi and Qin Bing, walked down from the helicopter, a staff member immediately came to greet them.
"You are Li Yi from Tianchang City and Qin Bing from Tianshan City, right? Hello, my name is Wu Mingyue. I'm the one who will receive you this time. Please follow me immediately." The receptionist named Wu Mingyue said. Although he was a receptionist, he was also a cultivator and quite powerful. He had actually reached the spiritual perception realm.
However, as a cross-border point, there is a complete rare object here. With such abundant pure cosmic energy, it is normal to have the cultivation level of spiritual perception.
The two men didn't say anything and followed Wu Mingyue towards a building inside the base.
"This cross-border mission will begin at noon tomorrow. Before that, please go to the conference room and wait. During this time, someone will explain some cross-border information and precautions to you."
soon.
Three people entered the building.
The building was simply furnished, as if it had just been completed. There was concrete floor everywhere and nothing else.
Wu Mingyue took the two people to a meeting room on the second floor: "Zhang Xun, the last two cross-border people are here."
In the meeting room, a cultivator named Zhang Xun's face suddenly darkened. "The Investigation Bureau really wants to shove anyone under my control. Even cultivators in the Spiritual Realm want to become cross-border cultivators. This is outrageous. Don't they know that crossing borders is risky? Without a certain level of strength, it's easy to die in other worlds."
Before he even walked in, Li Yi heard these words.
This was obviously directed at him.
After all, his cultivation level of the spiritual realm was too conspicuous here. The people participating in the cross-border realm were at least at the spiritual perception level, and the cultivator named Zhang Xun who was speaking was even more extraordinary. Li Yi smelled a dangerous aura as soon as he walked into the meeting room, and some kind of perception was constantly giving warnings.
It is impossible for a cultivator at the spiritual perception realm to allow Li Yi to sense the warning at the current time. The only explanation is that this Zhang Xun is not spiritually aware at all, but a strong man with a concentrated soul.
This is a being at the soul realm level.
Li Yi said nothing, just took a glance and then looked away, then looked at the other people in the meeting room.
In addition to Zhang Xun, there are three other people.
Two women and one man.
Some are strange and I don’t recognize them.
However, Li Yi seemed to have some impression of one of the women, as if he had seen her somewhere. He remembered that he had met her once when he was chasing a suspect in the old city. The woman seemed to be called Xu Qiumei.
Yes, it was that woman.
At this moment, Xu Qiumei, who had a mature and graceful figure and big wavy hair, also noticed Li Yi. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
She never expected that the cross-border person from Tianchang City would be Li Yi.
The newcomer in the Investigation Bureau who had great potential.
How can this be.
How did this guy stand out from the group of practitioners in the Tianchang City Investigation Bureau?
Li Yi and Xu Qiumei seemed to recognize each other and looked at each other, but they remained silent at this moment. After all, they were not familiar with each other, and strictly speaking, there had been some conflicts and frictions between the two of them, which could be considered a grudge.
"Qin Bing, the foreign combatant from the Tianshan City Investigation Bureau? Find a seat and sit down. I am the captain of this cross-border mission. From now on, your actions will be under my command. As for Li Yi from the Tianchang City Investigation Bureau, you can go back. Although I don't know how much effort the Investigation Bureau has put into putting you in this cross-border team, as the captain, I have the right to refuse your action this time. If you are dissatisfied, let the senior management of your Investigation Bureau come to negotiate with me."
Zhang Xun said coldly at this moment, and directly kicked Li Yi out of this cross-border team.
After hearing this, Qin Bing was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say much. He just found a seat and sat down. However, someone in the meeting room smiled unconsciously.
There was a hint of amusement and mockery in his smile.
"What are you still standing here for? You have nothing to do here. Let's go." Zhang Xun frowned and said forcefully, not giving Li Yi any face at all.
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Yi was immediately irritated, and the temper of this warrior Li Yi instantly erupted.
"You want me to leave with just one sentence? Take my punch first."
Li Yi shouted suddenly, and then a burst of energy exploded from under his feet. As the ground cracked instantly, he rushed out instantly.
What amazing explosive power!
The expressions of everyone in the conference room changed slightly.
But soon they realized something.
How dare Li Yi attack Zhang Xun?
This guy is crazy.
He is a spiritual master, while Zhang Xun is a strong man in the soul realm. He is the captain of this cross-border team. Everyone must obey his orders. How dare he punch Zhang Xun at this moment when they have a disagreement?
Should we say he is stupid or courageous?
But Li Yi was not going to give in at all. He did not hold back at all. Facing such a master, he had to strike with all his strength to show his strength.
The fist force explodes, the muscles and bones vibrate, and the guiding technique is used.
This punch was brilliant and eye-catching. Just by swinging it, it exploded the air and stirred up a violent storm. An extremely powerful energy and blood condensed and gushed out, as if it had turned into a fist force, which was daunting.
At the same time, this punch was filled with an indomitable spirit, as if a man who dared to make the emperor bleed was venting his anger.
Zhang Xun's eyes moved slightly.
This punch is definitely not something that a cultivator at the spiritual perception realm can deliver. Even a spiritual perception master can only retreat when faced with such a punch and dare not take it head-on, otherwise he will most likely be killed.
Good guy.
I thought he was someone who got in through the backdoor, but turned out to be a freak.
It seems that the Tianchang City Investigation Bureau wants to focus on training this person, but isn't it a bit too hasty to use him to cross the border at this level?
However, for being so arrogant, you should suffer a little today.
Thinking of this.
Zhang Xun took a step forward and threw out a punch to meet the attack.
There is nothing fancy, just an explosion of power from the soul realm.
For practitioners at this level, the soul controls the body, breaking through the limitations of the body and being able to unleash unimaginable terrifying power. Even if they don't learn any martial arts, their bodies are the most powerful weapons.
This punch also shattered the air and shook the vacuum, like a thunderclap in a clear sky.
boom!
The fist force was released and spread out, the collision of pure strength, the generated air wave was enough to blow a person up.
But the next moment.
Li Yi flew backwards. After all, the gap between the strong men in the Soul Realm could not be made up by his boxing and martial arts skills. With a loud bang, he hit a wall of the conference room, and the ceiling seemed to be shaking.
"Your punch is very good, and the power is extraordinary, but you shouldn't provoke me." Zhang Xun retracted his fist and said with a cold expression.
"I know very well that my punches cannot defeat you, but I also want you to know that my punches are enough to kill masters in the Spiritual Perception Realm. If I can't cross the boundary, other masters in the Spiritual Perception Realm here can't even think of crossing the boundary." Li Yi's blood was boiling at this moment and he almost vomited blood, but fortunately he controlled his blood and energy and stabilized his body.
However, this blow made his entire arm numb.
If his physique wasn't strong enough and he hadn't retrained in martial arts, his arm would have been broken by now.
Where does the power of the soul realm masters come from?
He clearly didn't learn any martial arts, so why is he so scary?
