170: Chapter 170 "Li Yi"
Library.
Nangong Qing stood gracefully before Ji Yebai.
"Is this your job!?"
She scanned the area and asked Ji Yebai.
"How about it? Isn't this job quite nice!"
Ji Yebai laughed.
Nangong Qing looked at the expression on Ji Yebai's face and immediately burst into laughter.
"If the Security Bureau knew that a great expert like you wasn't working for the country, but instead hiding here in leisure, I'm afraid they would be furious!"
Nangong Qing had spent some time investigating Ji Yebai's past recently.
Through various clues, she had also learned about the video from the spaceship when Ji Yebai first arrived.
The current government was different from the past.
The government alliance, led by Huaxia, had a common goal: to strive for the rise of the Blue Star Civilization.
And in the current Universe, what truly determined the upper limit of a civilization's development was not technological civilization, but high-level warriors.
A single high-level warrior was enough to influence the direction of a civilization.
Just like the destruction of civilizations that constantly occurred in the Universe, many were because they had angered a Saint-level warrior.
A Saint-level warrior crushing a civilization was a common occurrence in the Universe.
Therefore, if Ji Yebai exposed his strength and location, I fear the people from the Security Bureau would come knocking immediately.
The entire Blue Star Civilization, although it appeared loose now, was essentially under immense pressure.
After all, there were three Legendary Civilizations in the entire 357 Star Sector.
The strongest was the Pansi Civilization, followed by the long-standing Draiden Star Civilization, and then the newly migrated Blue Star Civilization.
Although there were six civilizations in the 357 Star Sector, in the end, the one with the most influence was still the Pansi Civilization.
The Blue Star Civilization and the Draiden Star Civilization bore the pressure of the Pansi Civilization together.
Therefore, for the Blue Star Civilization, experts in the Life and Death Realm were definitely top-tier.
Nangong Qing had become a super expert at the fourth level of the Life and Death Realm, currently only weaker than Bai Zhu and another fifth-level expert; she could be considered the third strongest in the world.
With this kind of strength, Nangong Qing was basically unimpeded when she wanted to inquire about something.
Through the video on that warship, Nangong Qing had basically confirmed that Ji Yebai was already stronger than her back then.
Thinking of this, Nangong Qing secretly glanced at Ji Yebai.
She didn't understand how Ji Yebai had done it.
As an ordinary person, without relying on other forces during the revival of Spiritual Qi, he not only became the second Innate in the world but also explored the method to break through the Xiantian Realm, stirring up the world's situation with the Five Divine Beasts.
In those materials, if one worked backward, they would discover that the root of all the world's turmoil actually lay in the emergence of the Five Divine Beasts.
Furthermore, three hundred years later, on the Blue Star in the Solar System, although there was still energy, it wasn't even enough to satisfy cultivation in the Xiantian Realm.
In such an environment, how did Ji Yebai Cultivate to the Life and Death Realm?
Nangong Qing blinked her long eyelashes.
Although Ji Yebai was surprised by Nangong Qing's arrival, since she was here, it actually put Ji Yebai in a good mood.
The two chatted cordially.
From time to time, Nangong Qing would ask some questions about cultivation, and Ji Yebai would answer them easily.
Of course, she would also ask about some of Ji Yebai's thoughts and specific actions from those past years.
Ji Yebai answered readily whenever he could.
Overall, this girl Nangong Qing asked a bit too much, and she had a tendency to develop into a curious baby, which really gave Ji Yebai a headache.
However, it soon became different.
He detected Li Yi's movements.
...
Inside the academy.
It was noisy.
The sounds of students shouting and practicing martial arts could be heard from time to time.
And at this moment, Li Yi was walking slowly with a deep look in his eyes.
People kept greeting him along the way.
As the strongest Genius in recent years, Li Yi's reputation was very high.
However, facing the numerous greetings, Li Yi remained silent.
His contemplative face made many Senior Brothers and Sisters subconsciously quiet down.
Soon, word spread around the school that Li Yi was wandering around the school, pondering a Breakthrough.
After all, the news that he was about to break through had been inferred by others long ago.
Li Yi was not a cold person; he usually greeted his juniors, but now that he was ignoring people and lost in thought, many people assumed he was contemplating his Breakthrough.
After all, only such a major event would make him so pensive.
Few people disturbed him.
Even those who saw him on the road avoided him from afar.
Just like this, Li Yi kept wandering along the way.
Finally, he arrived at a rockery.
It was a bit remote here, and few people came.
Li Yi looked at the rockery, paused, and then slowly walked up.
He stroked the rockery with one hand, his expression calm.
However, if there were others present, they would definitely notice Li Yi's gaze flickering constantly.
Clearly, he was constantly thinking in his heart.
After a long while, Li Yi patted the rockery.
"The cultivation of the Blue Star Civilization has its merits!"
"Using the Physical Body to contain everything, developing the Treasure Trove deep within the flesh and blood, to obtain Divine Power!"
"And the Cosmic Civilization focuses on the spirit; the paths of the two are different: one expands the self and infects the Law; the other gathers all things and becomes a world unto itself!"
"It's hard to tell which is better right now, but clearly, neither of these two paths is wrong!"
Li Yi raised his head.
At this moment, his gaze suddenly emitted an eerie purple light.
His entire eyes were purple.
It was impossible to distinguish the pupils and the whites of the eyes.
"I used a secret technique to sever my spirit and nurture this Physical Body. As long as I become a Xiantian Martial Artist, I can directly step into the so-called Life and Death Realm with my original Mental Energy!"
"In this way, when I become a Saint-level, I will first become a Saint with Mental Energy, and then integrate the Saint-level Mental Energy into this Physical Body!"
"This way, I can achieve sainthood twice!"
Li Yi's expression was calm, but the words he spoke were shockingly terrifying.
Achieving sainthood is essentially an interaction with the Laws of the Universe.
Becoming a Saint with the spirit means imprinting the spirit into the Law; the deeper the infection of the Law, the stronger the strength.
Martial Arts cultivation, achieving sainthood with the Physical Body, means imprinting the Laws of the Universe into the flesh and blood body, using the flesh and blood body to contain the Law imprints.
If one could achieve sainthood twice, it would be possible to advance both one's spirit and Physical Body, and then one would imagine that the strength would undergo earth-shattering changes.
Thinking of this, "Li Yi"'s purple eyes flickered: "The most urgent thing is to break through to the Xiantian Realm!"
He frowned.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to go out quietly to break through.
He was 100% sure he would break through to become Xiantian.
But his goal was not just that.
After becoming Xiantian, he was also prepared to break through directly into the Life and Death Realm.
At that time, the commotion would be a bit large.
Directly skipping ranks would attract the attention of those interested, so it could not be done under the public eye.
"Li Yi" raised his head.
"Then, let's go to the depths of the mountains!"
"Li Yi"'s thoughts were firm, and having finished thinking, he walked straight out.
A unique mental fluctuation radiated from his eyes.
Concealing himself.
Everyone on the road couldn't detect the figure of "Li Yi" at all.
Walking to the gate.
The purple light in "Li Yi"'s eyes grew a bit richer. He looked at Asma, the guard, and smiled disdainfully.
Then he turned and left.
...
Library.
Ji Yebai raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said to Nangong Qing: "Let's go, I'll take you to witness something!"
"Huh?!"
Nangong Qing was slightly stunned, looking at Ji Yebai in confusion.
Ji Yebai smiled mysteriously, without explaining, and directly took her with a flash, disappearing from the spot.
