The Post Sky Tipping Era-Chapter 1217 - 979: A Request

"Great news, the Red Mountain God has returned."

"The Red Mountain God has been waging war for many years, and today he finally returns to Red Gold Mountain."

When Li Yi visited Red Gold Mountain again, it had already transformed into the Red Gold Country, with many cultivators establishing their abodes here. They prefer to travel the Barbaric World rather than stay on Earth.

Because this world is rich in resources, filled with Spiritual Energy, and more conducive to cultivation.

Li Yi’s appearance excited many who had migrated to the Red Mountain Country; they hadn’t seen the Red Mountain God for several years. Luckily, many powerful beings maintained the order of the Red Mountain Country, or else turmoil might have erupted.

After all, as a kingdom, having a god in residence is often necessary.

Actually, for Li Yi, the honor of being the Red Mountain God no longer brings him any benefit; his appearance this time is merely to awe everyone and stabilize the kingdom.

Since he personally established the kingdom, Li Yi naturally doesn’t want it to descend into chaos or even destruction due to neglect, especially since many tribal warriors fought alongside him.

During Li Yi’s absence, cultivators renovated the City Lord Mansion for him; previously, it was just the place of the former Red Gold Mountain Master. Now, with a nation established, a better residence is needed.

A Red Gold Palace sits atop a mountain peak.

Standing in the palace, one can overlook the entire Red Gold Country, symbolizing supreme authority and majesty.

A steep flight of steps seemingly connects the Heavenly Mountain and the ground, guarded by powerful Divine Blood Warriors at the entrance, while inside the Red Gold Palace, only E Ji and Su Ji, along with some beautiful women, reside.

Even the guards are female warriors like Shanguo.

Though Li Yi did not instruct these actions, when he reached this position, his followers naturally prepared everything for him, and he only needed to display his enormous power to assure everyone he could protect the kingdom.

Like a pride of lions in the animal kingdom.

The lion does not need to hunt; it merely patrols the territory and drives away invaders.

The Barbaric World still adheres to this almost primitive tradition.

When Li Yi entered the Red Gold Palace, the previously calm sky suddenly grew dark with clouds, countless terrifying lightning bolts pierced the sky, roaming like dragons and serpents, enveloping the entire palace.

This terrifying force has exceeded the world’s limits, so powerful even from a distance that all can sense its destructive aura.

This aura is enough to make even the mightiest Divine Blood Warrior tremble.

"Is that the power of the Red Mountain God? How could it be so powerful, even piercing the heavens?"

"Compared to a few years ago, the strength of the Red Mountain God is even more terrifying."

"I, who fear not even death, am trembling before this power."

Seeing the lightning near the Red Gold Palace, they were utterly shocked, especially the Merchant Masters, wise ones who widened their eyes, feeling their understanding overturned once again.

They have traveled many countries, witnessed the power of the Lord of Hundred Mountains, and visited the One God, even the Five Gods, but none have reached such a level.

The reason Li Yi displayed his power was simple; he hadn’t appeared for years and needed to awe everyone, letting them know his power remains, even stronger than before, saving him a lot of trouble.

"Lord, you’ve returned."

Feeling the familiar Thunder Power, two stunning women appeared, like Heavenly Girls from the Heavenly Realm, flying up and respectfully kneeling when they saw Li Yi.

"It’s E Ji and Su Ji. You haven’t seen for years, and you’ve both made progress in cultivation, not bad." Li Yi looked at them and nodded slightly: "Stand up."

E Ji and Su Ji respectfully stood up.

Li Yi then glanced at Shanguo not far away, once a warrior of Shoushan Village, now on the path of cultivation, her wildness faded, becoming a competent female warrior.

He then walked into the palace.

A throne crafted from Red Gold radiated brilliance, standing at the center of the great hall.

Li Yi glanced at it and did not sit but flicked his fingers, the Heavenly King’s Power manifested, suddenly transforming into a Dharma Body formed of lightning.

The Dharma Body with spirit, wisdom, and extraordinary strength, possesses combat power at the Heavenly General Level.

"If I’m not in the Red Gold Country, let my power remain here and guard this nation," Li Yi said.

"Lord, are you returning to Earth?" E Ji asked cautiously.

Li Yi smiled faintly, looking at E Ji and Su Ji, "I know you wish to follow me, but unfortunately, the path I must take is unparalleled, and you cannot continue with me."

"Stay at Red Gold Mountain, cultivate well, in the future you may attain immortality, then you can have your own lives, even help me manage the Red Mountain Country."

He still had a good impression of these two beautiful young girls, but as a Heavenly King of the Heavenly Realm, he naturally didn’t want to stay in the Lower Realm for long, nor was he capable of taking a few weak women to venture through the Heavenly Realm.

Therefore, Li Yi had to leave them here.

"Master."

E Ji and Su Ji immediately knelt down: "We are master’s beauties, no matter where master goes, we must follow. Even if we encounter danger and die outside, it’s our destiny."

Li Yi said: "You have all experienced the extinction of tribes and should understand that there is no everlasting banquet in this world. You cannot follow me forever. When the time is right, separation will naturally occur."

E Ji and Su Ji immediately bowed their heads, appearing extremely sad and lost.

Li Yi intended to console them with a few words, but at this moment, two clouds of Xiangyun suddenly appeared from afar, boldly passing through the area of thunderclouds and rushing straight into the main hall.

Two beautiful Immortals arrived together at this moment, looking at Li Yi with eyes that revealed a bit of happiness.

"Taiyi, why didn’t you notify us of your arrival? If Yun Feizi hadn’t sent word, I wouldn’t have known you’ve returned. Have you become prosperous nowadays, looking down on us old and faded, thinking we’re useless, so you want to abandon us?"

Xiang Xiangzi spoke, her face full of grievance.

Beside her, Xuan Yuezi, hearing this, glanced aside somewhat embarrassedly.

"Two Immortals, don’t misunderstand. I just returned to Earth and naturally need to handle some private matters. I’ll visit the Immortals after these things are settled."

Li Yi smiled slightly, still very courteous to Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi.

These two Immortals helped him tremendously, even risking their lives for him. Even now, as a Heavenly King, he dared not neglect them.

"That’s more like it. I heard you took a trip to the Heavenly Realm and obtained many opportunities there, becoming quite different now?" Xiang Xiangzi immediately leaned in to say, "Can you take me to the Heavenly Realm too? Xuan Yuezi and I will be your concubines, following you in pursuit of the Dao. I talked with Xuan Yuezi, she’s fine with it, and if you don’t believe me, you can test it tonight."

She still spoke startlingly, coming straight out with blusterous words.

Li Yi, however, was accustomed to this and seriously said, "The Heavenly Realm is very dangerous. The two Immortals are now only at the stage of Three Flowers Gathering, Five Qi Chaoyuan, not yet achieving Dao. In the Heavenly Realm, they wouldn’t even match Heavenly Soldiers. Even if I can protect you, it’s not entirely safe."

"According to my previous plan, I would leave a Heavenly King Palace on Earth, and only when Earth’s strong cultivators reach the Heavenly General level would I lead them to the Heavenly Realm."

"Don’t deceive me, cultivating to the Heavenly General level on Earth, who knows what year that would be. Though Earth’s environment is good, how could it compare to the Spiritual Energy of the Heavenly Realm? Once I cultivate to the Heavenly General level in the Heavenly Realm, then I could venture out too, why linger on Earth wasting time." Xiang Xiangzi said.

"That does make some sense." Li Yi said, "But taking you to the Heavenly Realm means there would be no return. The Heavenly Realm is different from other worlds, cross-realm travel is impossible; one must use certain treasures to cut open the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Membrane to enter."

"Your strength is very weak. If I fail to protect you, being captured and enslaved to work like oxen and horses would be terrible."

Of course, these words were meant to discourage them; as a Royal Family Heavenly King of the Heavenly God, protecting two Immortals is surely manageable, but the waters of the Heavenly Realm run deep. Here, they may act like kings and dominate, but in the Heavenly Realm, they’d have no choice but to behave cautiously.

"If there truly is a mishap, it’s merely a death, what’s there to fear." Xiang Xiangzi directly said, "If we hadn’t this resolve, why would Xuan Yuezi and I ask you?"

Li Yi laughed, "Immortal, you indeed have a carefree spirit."

"Taiyi." Xuan Yuezi gently opened her mouth beside, "Xiang Xiangzi and I have cultivated to Great Perfection and have hit a bottleneck; even enduring on Earth would hardly achieve Dao. Moreover, Heavenly Soldiers, Heavenly Generals, Heavenly Kings are numerous realms further beyond."

"Rather than lingering on Earth, why not take a chance in the Heavenly Realm."

She saw that her path ahead was shortening, hence wished to make preparations in advance.

Li Yi said, "Cultivation is endless. When is there a stopping point? Immortal, after enduring the End of Dharma and coming to Earth, it’s the time for carefree pleasure. Why bother wading into the muddy waters of the Heavenly Realm."

He was not unwilling to take them to the Heavenly Realm; otherwise, he wouldn’t have left ten human clan cultivation methods and a Heavenly King Palace, but his concern was for their lives.

After all, they had supported each other through difficult times, sharing life-and-death camaraderie; Li Yi hoped they wouldn’t perish in the Heavenly Realm.

"Taiyi, since there’s a Heavenly King Palace, Xiang Xiangzi and I can hide within to cultivate, reaching at least to Heavenly General strength before emerging, how about it?" Xuan Yuezi again pleaded, "The road here has ended. Even if we live carefree for a hundred, thousand years, what then? Ultimately, we must venture to the Heavenly Realm to resume our cultivation journey."

"Rather than waste a thousand years, it is better to go with Taiyi today, consider it a request."

Having said this, she bowed to Li Yi.

Seeing this, Li Yi promptly supported her and then sighed, "I didn’t expect Immortal to have such a strong heart for the Dao. So be it, when we cross realms next time, both Immortals shall accompany me."

He couldn’t refuse them anymore, agreeing to this matter, considering with the Royal Family Heavenly King’s status, caring for two Immortals wouldn’t be difficult, whether they could achieve cultivation success remained to be seen.

If not, Li Yi would bring them back.

If indeed they could soar to great heights, it would be a fine act of helping their achievement.

Seeing Li Yi agreeing,

Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi were instantly joyous, believing their future cultivation success was hopeful.
