Living in the Wilderness Becomes Stronger
Chapter 715 I want to be with you, son
Chapter 715 I want to be with you, son
Hearing Xu Yi's words, Gu Qinglian and Tianyuezi looked at each other, and then told what they knew.
If they don't say it, others will.
Although the blood lotus in the heart of the earth is a resource in their world, it has never been developed.So now that Xu Yi wanted to take away these Earth Heart Blood Lotuses, there was nothing they could do to stop them.
If you don't tell Xu Yi, Xu Yi will find a way to find the Earth Heart Blood Lotus.
It is nothing more than spending more time and exploring more volcanoes.
Moreover, they didn't say that other holy places might tell Xu Yi all of them in order to show favor to Xu Yi.
If Xu Yi became a guest of honor in other holy places, then their sects would suffer greatly.Maybe, like the Taishang Palace, it will be trampled down.
"Follow me, let's go to the one over the Promise Palace." Xu Yi pointed at Tianyue Zi, and then flew into the sky.
Tianyue Zi followed Xu Yi, so Gu Qinglian could only follow Xiao Qi.
Then, they flew off in different directions.
Along the way, Xu Yi and Tianyue Zi didn't communicate much.
Because Xu Yi didn't take the initiative to speak up, and Tianyue Zi couldn't do it either.What if Xu Yi turned his back on him?
If Xu Yi felt bored, he would definitely speak first.
"Can you fly continuously for several days?" In order to take care of Tianyue Zi's speed, Xu Yi controlled the speed to be similar to Tianyue Zi's.Otherwise, Xu Yi might be able to fly to his destination in two days.Now, it is estimated that it will take five or six days.
And at this time, it still depends on Tianyuezi's ability to fly continuously without resting.
Otherwise, it will take more time.
"Forgive me, my lord. The little girl's cultivation base is low, and she can only fly continuously for three days and three nights at most." Tianyue Zi was apologetic, because compared with Xu Yi, her strength was indeed much weaker.
"That would take too much time. It will be seven or eight days before you reach the place." Xu Yi glanced at Tianyue Zi, and then said, "Come behind me, I will take you flying."
With that said, Xu Yi took out a huge sword.
Before, he had always wanted to fly with the sword, but he had never tried it.
After all, he has a flying shuttle, no matter what, it is much faster than the so-called Yujian flying.
Now instead of taking out the shuttle, he took out a giant sword.
Xu Yi didn't know if Titan Academy would monitor him.
After all, his flying shuttle belongs to the spirit race, and being able to have a space ring as big as storing the flying shuttle is also inconsistent with his identity.
Where he can be careful, Xu Yi will definitely be careful.
It was quite risky for Xiaoqi and Xiaotou to show Xu Yi, Xu Yi felt that it was better to control the degree of risk.
Seeing Xu Yi take out a huge sword, Tianyue Zi was a little suspicious.
However, she quickly understood what Xu Yi meant.
In this world, there is no such thing as Yujian flying.
Standing on top of the giant sword, Tianyue Zi felt that her speed had increased a lot in an instant.
With Xu Yi standing in front, Tianyue Zi couldn't feel anything.Everything was blocked by Xu Yi.
Xu Yi also did not expect that Yu Jian's flying speed would not be much inferior to his own full-flying speed.
With this speed, Xu Yi felt more at ease.
"My lord, can I also use this method to fly?" Tianyue Zi thought it would be cool to fly with a giant sword.
However, her storage space is limited, such a huge sword is probably not easy to carry.Unless, you can find magic weapons that can change sizes.She has only heard of such magical soldiers, so it's hard to say whether they really exist.
"Your mental strength is too weak, you may not be able to sustain this kind of flight for too long." Xu Yi explained that although there is no difference in speed, the consumption of mental strength is indeed more.
"Spiritual power?" Tianyuezi asked a little puzzled.
It was the first time she had heard of this word, so she didn't know what Xu Yi meant.
"It's what you call cultivation, we call it spiritual power." Xu Yi explained again.
"Then, my lord, what is the outside world like?" Tianyuezi had seen images of the God Clan in the Buddhist scripture pavilion in her Tianyue Pavilion, but Xu Yi was obviously different from the God Clan.
Therefore, she really wanted to know what the outside world was like and what kind of people existed.
"The outside world is very exciting. There are thousands of races in the universe, and there are all kinds of civilizations. However, most of them are divided into technological civilization and spiritual civilization. Technological civilization is a civilization centered on technology. Their spaceships can leave their own planets. Go to other planets, or even other civilizations. Spiritual civilization is a cultivation civilization like ours. Through cultivating our own spiritual power, we can make ourselves stronger. It can be said that scientific and technological civilization is a collective force, and spiritual civilization pursues Personal strength." Xu Yi talked with Tianyuezi in detail, because he wanted to take Tianyuezi away.
Because Xiaoqi told him that both Tianyuezi and Gu Qinglian had high talents, but they thought that the limitations of this world made their achievements very limited.
In this case, it was like the humans on Earth, like Xu Yi himself.
If they hadn't arrived on a planet with aura and mastered the way of cultivation, they would never have achieved what they are now.
It can be said that if Tianyue Zi and Gu Qinglian are given enough resources, their achievements may not be worse than those of the Lingzu.
Not only them, but also some of the world's favored children have very good talents.
Therefore, if Xu Yi took these people away, he could get a lot of help.
The premise is that Xu Yi can obtain a legal private planet.
Personal legal planet, this situation is relatively common in the Protoss.
Although some planets have aura, they may not be able to breed advanced creatures.
Once discovered, the protoss will become the masters of the planet.
Not only the Protoss, people in the affiliated civilizations of the Protoss have also obtained their own private planets.However, the planet they obtained needs to pass the evaluation of the Protoss. Only after passing the evaluation of the Protoss and not being able to breed a priest above level 45, can you obtain this planet.
In this kind of private planet, you will have a very high degree of autonomy, and the general protoss will not interfere with you.
Because, the protoss of the planet with too much potential will be taken away.
Unless, Xu Yi turned himself into a protoss.
However, the risk of impersonating the Protoss is too great, and Xu Yi will not do it lightly.
Tianyuezi discovered that the outside world is magnificent, and that kind of world is wonderful.
This world is already very boring to her.
What she will be like in the future has long been clear.
This kind of life is really too boring for her.
"My lord, can I travel with you to the outside world, to different civilizations and planets?" Tianyuezi asked with great anticipation.
She herself was trapped in this world, and if she wanted to leave, she could only rely on Xu Yi.
"It is very likely that you will die in less than a day when you go outside. Do you really want to go to such a dangerous place?" Xu Yi glanced back at Tianyuezi. What he said was not alarmist, such a thing could indeed happen. .
"Staying in this world is no different from dying. Son, take me away. No matter what the price is, I hope to leave this world." Tianyuezi gritted her teeth, she said When these words were spoken, I was ready to give something.
She knew that she was worthless in front of Xu Yi.
In other words, there were not many bargaining chips that could be used to repay Xu Yi.
After all, Xu Yi's level was too high for her, too high for her to reach.
Therefore, all her previous advantages were lost.
"There is no price. If you really want to leave, I can take you with me when I leave. However, if you want to regret it then, you will have no chance." Xu Yi didn't want to have so many detours with Tianyue Zi , Tell her directly that he can take her away.
"My choice, even if it is a dead end, I will go straight on." Tianyue Zi said happily.
Is there anything better than leaving without paying any price?
It is interesting to explore the unknown world.
"It's not bad to have such awareness." Xu Yi smiled slightly, and then said nothing more.
Tianyue Zi was also very knowledgeable, so she didn't bother Xu Yi again.
After less than two days of flying, the two arrived at their destination.
"You stay outside, I may need ten hours to come out." Saying that, Xu Yi flew towards the active volcano.
The active volcanoes in this world are very characteristic. There is a very strong aura of fire energy here.
It is precisely because of these strange auras of fire energy that things like the Earth Heart Blood Lotus are bred.
Earth Heart Blood Lotus below rank 9 is useless to Xu Yi.
Still, he took them all away.
Just because he's useless doesn't mean others are useless.
He is still planning to return to Lingyun Star. When he goes back, he can hand it over to Yimen's research department to study these Earth Heart Blood Lotuses.
Xu Yi didn't reap the harvest last time, so he won't let it go this time.
In addition, he also gave Xiaoqi the order to harvest all of them.
Of course, he also said that some seeds should be kept.
The immature ones, he and Xiao Qi will stay.
There are more blood lotuses in this place than Xu Yi picked last time, so Xu Yi also harvested more this time.
Of course, the time to stay will be longer.
Xu Yi stayed at the bottom for more than [-] hours before coming up from the bottom.
During this time, Tianyuezi has received an important message.
Taishangmen has been stepped down, but not many people died, and those who died were all high-level people in Taishangmen, such as door masters, saintesses, saint sons, elders and the like.
Ordinary disciples, Xu Yi's servant didn't attack, and all of them ran away in fright.
After all, their sect master exploded at the touch of a finger.
With such strength, no one can stop it.
Although Tianyuezi already knew that Taishangmen would be destroyed, she was a little shocked by such simplicity and rudeness.
She has met the owner of Taishangmen before, and her father is slightly inferior to him.
As a result, he exploded just by being pointed at.
Therefore, she found that she still underestimated Xu Yi's strength.
The person who delivered the news to her left immediately after telling her the news.
However, that person still took away some news about Tianyuezi.
The first one is to inform the people of Wuji Sect immediately and tell them that Xu Yi is picking the Earth Heart Blood Lotus here, so as not to offend Xu Yi and be wiped out by Xu Yi.
In any case, any grievances and grievances between their various holy places are their own internal affairs.To them, Xu Yi was a foreign enemy.
This cannot be changed no matter what.
In addition, it is to inform Tianyue Pavilion to send additional manpower to receive everything from the Supreme Palace.
After all, Xu Yi's performance shows no interest in the various forces in this world.
Such a good thing, Tianyue Pavilion can't miss it.
Tianyuezi felt that Gu Mingli would definitely not let it go, maybe after he found out that Xu Yi had left, he would bring most of his masters from Wuxu Palace to the Supreme Palace to receive the benefits of reaping the benefits of the Supreme Palace.
After all, everyone knew that Xu Yi was in Wuxu Palace, so no one would target Wuxu Palace at this time.
In addition, Xu Yi will definitely leave this planet. For Xu Yi, this world is too backward and has no value at all.
If Wuxu Palace can swallow most of the resources of the Supreme Palace, then Wuxu Palace can firmly sit on the number one power in the world.Then, it will be easier to annex other holy places in the future.
On the side of Tianyue Pavilion, it has been clearly stated that it will advance and retreat with Wuxu Palace.
At that time, it is not impossible for the two sects to divide the world together.
Dominate the world?
Gu Mingli certainly thought about this matter.However, he knew that he was still slightly inferior to his senior brother.In addition, the wife of my senior brother is more powerful than me.
If the two of them work together, Gu Mingli feels that he will be at a disadvantage.
His wife, Jiang Xue, was too innocent, she felt completely silly and sweet.Otherwise, she wouldn't have maintained a relationship with him like a passer-by for so long.
"Son."
Tianyue Zi saw Xu Yi flying out of the volcano, and immediately shouted happily.
Gu Qinglian obtained a Grade 9 Earth Heart Blood Lotus, and she wants one too.
"The production of Earth Heart Blood Lotus here is good, I'll give you one for fun." As he said that, Xu Yi threw a ninth-grade Earth Heart Blood Lotus to Tianyuezi.
Grade 9 Xu Yi is used to make tea, so it doesn't matter if you give Tianyuezi one.
Xu Yi couldn't bear the emperor's grade.
"Thank you, young master." Tianyue Zi happily took over the 9th grade Earth Heart Blood Lotus, smiling like a flower.
"My lord, that Supreme Palace has been leveled, and there is no Supreme Palace in this world anymore." Tianyuezi felt that this news should not be concealed from Xu Yi.Maybe Xu Yi already knew about it.If he concealed it, he might offend Xu Yi.
"Well, I already know, you did a good job." After speaking, Xu Yi glanced at Tianyue Zi.
This girl is very smart and knows how to change it so that she won't feel disgusted.

This girl is very smart and knows how to change it so that she won't feel disgusted.
