The era of universal cultivation has arrived on the planet Water Blue. Nowadays, people no longer travel by flying machine, but directly fly through the air or fly on swords.
In the past, people always liked to live in cities, but now famous mountains and rivers have become places people yearn for. Countless people flock out of the city to find suitable cultivation caves in other places, even if they have to carve one out.
Finally, the alliance issued a notice stating that no one with a cultivation level below the Golden Core stage is allowed to leave the city to privately dig cave dwellings. Even after reaching the Golden Core stage, one must apply to the alliance, which will arrange a suitable cave dwelling for them. This avoids chaos, since the world has a huge population, numbering in the tens of billions, with almost 70% capable of cultivation. If everyone were to go outside and create a cave dwelling, there would probably be no good mountains and rivers left.
As for the remaining 30% who lacked spiritual roots and were unable to cultivate, Li Daoyi also gave them a chance, which was to cultivate martial arts. For this, everyone was extremely grateful, and people went to the statue to worship every day.
Before they knew it, the ten-year period that Li Daoyi had agreed upon with everyone had arrived. During these ten years, Mengmeng had been asleep, and Li Daoyi was helpless about it.
In the past ten years, the planet Water Blue has undergone tremendous changes. Cultivation has become the mainstream, markets have gradually emerged, and various alliances on Water Blue have united to evolve into the Global Cultivation Alliance.
On this day, a rainbow descended from the sky and landed outside the courtyard; the person who came was Tang Ning.
“Zhiga…”
The gate to the courtyard opened, and a beautiful woman walked out. She was like a fairy from an ancient painting, exquisitely beautiful, with delicate eyebrows like distant mountains, and a lively beauty in her eyes.
"Sister Ning." The woman smiled sweetly. It was Xiao Kui, now all grown up.
"Isn't this our Sunflower Fairy?" Tang Ning said with a smile.
Xiao Kui blushed instantly.
As the number one cultivator in the cultivation world today, Xiao Kui, who has reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, has become a goddess in the hearts of countless people, hence the title of Sunflower Fairy.
"Sister Ning, you're still making fun of me." Xiao Kui stepped forward and took Tang Ning's arm in a coquettish manner.
“Let’s go in, sir has been waiting for you for a long time,” Xiao Kui continued.
Tang Ning dared not delay and quickly went inside.
It was still the same small courtyard, with peach trees, a stone table, and stone chairs. Ten years had passed, and nothing had changed. Li Daoyi sat quietly under the peach tree with a book in his hand. In a corner of the courtyard, Saitama was still doing simple exercises that were hard to understand. Time seemed to have stood still here.
"Sir." Tang Ning stepped forward and gave a slight bow. Military salutes were no longer used; instead, Taoist salutes were observed.
"Mm." Li Daoyi nodded.
Tang Ning looked at the book in his hand with curiosity.
"Perfect World?" Tang Ning was puzzled. What kind of book was this? Perfect World, could it be that the author wanted to create a perfect world?
With a flick of his wrist, Li Daoyi's book vanished instantly; it was a novel he had redeemed from the system out of boredom.
"Have your grandfather and the others not come out of seclusion yet?" Li Daoyi asked.
"Not yet." Tang Ning shook his head. The two elders are currently breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage and have been in seclusion for a year.
“You’ve been very busy these past few years,” Li Daoyi continued.
"You flatter me, sir," Tang Ning said with a wry smile.
As one of only two people who can receive individual guidance from Li Daoyi, Tang Ning, who is in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, has always been either cultivating or being invited to preach all over the world. He has just returned from the continent of Europe.
“Preaching is also a form of spiritual practice. Through the process of explaining, you can gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of the Tao. There’s no need to be modest; you’ve done very well,” Li Daoyi encouraged.
"Sir, is there something you need from my grandfather and the others?" Tang Ning asked.
"The ten-year deadline has arrived," Li Daoyi said slowly.
Tang Ning felt a sudden jolt in her heart; she understood what it meant: the world was about to merge.
“Yes, sir.” Tang Ning nodded.
"I gave your world ten years, which is quite good. Everything has developed as I expected. I actually have to thank Nordens for this. Without him, humanity might not be as united as it is now."
“Next, I need to leave for a while and go back to the previous world to make some preparations,” Li Daoyi continued.
"Ah? Sir, but Mengmeng hasn't woken up yet!" Xiao Kui said hurriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm leaving alone. Mengmeng and Qiyu will stay here for now," Li Daoyi explained.
The two women finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Daoyi didn't dare take the sleeping little one through space, fearing she would absorb spatial energy again.
"Sir, how long will you be gone?" Tang Ning asked.
Li Daoyi pondered for a moment.
“I’m not sure how time flows between the two worlds, so I’ve called you here to explain. Here, take this.” Li Daoyi said, taking out a gold card.
It was the World Fusion Card. The fusion card has a main card and a sub-card, which Li Daoyi only realized after taking it out of his package. The main card and the sub-card represent the primary and secondary worlds being fused. He gave Tang Ning the sub-card, which means that after the fusion begins, Water Blue Star will be fused with the Journey to the West world.
"This is a World Fusion Card. Take it. When it's time to activate the fusion, there will be prompts on it. Just follow the instructions," Li Daoyi said.
Tang Ning quickly and carefully took the card.
"Perhaps this is some kind of powerful magic weapon," Tang Ning thought to himself.
Li Daoyi then gave Qiyu some instructions, telling him to protect the sleeping Mengmeng.
"If Mengmeng wakes up halfway through and comes looking for you, I won't be able to handle her," Saitama said, scratching his head.
"Haha, don't worry, if this guy wakes up early, he'll come looking for me himself," Li Daoyi laughed.
"Actually, there's no need to worry. Perhaps the flow rates in the two worlds aren't that different, and we'll meet soon," Li Daoyi reassured him.
Saitama nodded; he was someone who hated trouble.
"Alright, I'm leaving now." After saying that, Li Daoyi slowly flew into the sky.
"System, exchange for the Journey to the West: The Sequel World Location Token," Li Daoyi called out in his mind.
If Mengmeng were awake, she could take Li Daoyi back to the Journey to the West world directly; now, the only option is to exchange for a location talisman.
"Ding, the designated location token is a special item. Redemption will require deducting 100 million points." The system voice sounded.
"So expensive?" Li Daoyi frowned, but looking at his points, which had now risen to over 50 billion, 100 million points didn't seem like much.
"Exchange it," Li Daoyi said directly.
"Exchange successful."
Soon a locator appeared in Li Daoyi's hand, which he immediately crushed.
"Buzz..."
An energy instantly spread out, turning the sky golden. People looked up in terror and saw Li Daoyi in the sky. They immediately knelt down and worshipped him.
"Sizzle..." The space around Li Daoyi cracked open instantly, and he flashed inside.
It was the same familiar spatial passage, but this time he was alone. Li Daoyi sat cross-legged, letting the spatial power carry him to his target point.
He didn't know how much time had passed, as time couldn't be sensed within the spatial passage. The spatial power around Li Daoyi gradually weakened, indicating that they had reached their destination. He opened his eyes and saw a spatial rift before him.
"Have we arrived?" Li Daoyi then flew out of the crevice.
A sense of wildness washed over me; after graduating, I felt as if I were in the world of Journey to the West.
Unlike the vibrant atmosphere of the Blue Planet, the Journey to the West world at this time felt more like an ordinary world of martial arts for mortals, with a bit of spiritual energy, but not much.
With a thought, his primordial spirit spread outwards.
On Mount Putuo in the South China Sea, Dongfang Bubai and Xiaolongnu, who were meditating with their eyes closed, opened their eyes at the same time. Overjoyed, they looked at each other.
"He's back!" the two exclaimed with delight.
Guanyin, who was standing to the side, also opened her eyes slightly. After hearing what the two were saying, her expression changed.
“It’s over there, let’s go.” Dongfang said, looking at the sky.
The two then transformed into a rainbow of light and flew into the sky. Guanyin, seeing this, also quickly followed and flew away from Mount Putuo.
"They've arrived." Li Daoyi withdrew his divine sense and smiled slightly.
A moment later, three streaks of rainbow light approached from afar; they were the three people from the East.
The two women saw Li Daoyi floating in the air from afar. They were a little surprised that he was alone, but since they hadn't seen him for a long time, they rushed into his arms.
"The Way of One".
"elder brother."
The two women exclaimed excitedly.
"Huh?" Li Daoyi had a slight premonition. Judging from the two women's appearance, could it be that a long time had passed?
"How long have I been gone?" Li Daoyi asked.
“A thousand years.” Long’er raised her head, her eyes filled with tears. Since following Li Daoyi, she had never been away from him for so long. Even when she was cultivating in the Time Tower, Li Daoyi would often go in to see her.
"One hundred to one?" Li Daoyi thought to himself. The time flow rate between the two worlds is one hundred to one. This is bidirectional. No matter which world he is in, the time flow rate in the other world is also one hundred times.
"I need to hurry," Li Daoyi thought to himself.
"Guanyin pays respects to the senior." Guanyin slowly flew forward and bowed.
"A Golden Immortal? It seems his cultivation has indeed regressed," Li Daoyi said.
"Yes, without enough spiritual energy, all of our cultivation has regressed," Guanyin nodded.
"Yes, don't worry, I'm here to solve this problem. Go and inform everyone that I'll be waiting for them in Heaven," Li Daoyi said to Guanyin.
After saying that, he led the two women and they tore through space and left.
"As you command." Guanyin suppressed her excitement and bowed in the direction Li Daoyi had left.
"Alas, after a thousand years of suffering, the bitterness has finally given way to sweetness. I hope this time it will truly be successful. Amitabha." Guanyin clasped her hands together, and a cloud of auspiciousness rose from beneath her feet, flying away at an extremely fast speed.
