After escorting Monk Jie Ding back to the Buddha Spiritual World, Yi Tian was targeted by the Invincible Blade Song Li near the realm gate. After accepting the invitation, he went to the mountain peak where Song Li was stationed to meet him.
Along the way, he also met Xi Tianying. After a long time, Yi Tian realized that Xi Tianying's cultivation level was still at the peak of the Spirit Severing Stage. However, he had made great progress. Now, he only needed an opportunity to enter the next realm.
After Xi Tianying left, Song Li then returned to the main topic and chatted with him. The first thing he talked about was his remaining lifespan of about 1,000 years.
He said, "My lifespan is only 1,000 years. In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, it's naturally a long time. However, compared to cultivators of the same level, I'm considered old. Therefore, I'd like to take a long trip to the Bo Wang Sea in the depths of the Spiritual World to look for an opportunity."
"You're too kind. In my opinion, you're still a hero. You're in the prime of your life. As long as you find an opportunity, you can enter the next level," Yi Tian comforted. After all, he could tell that the Invincible Blade Song Li was past his prime. Yi Tian could guess a little from the fact that Song Li mentioned Qing Lianyun in the Taiqing Pavilion. However, he could not disregard Song Li's feelings in front of him.
"I've thought about it. I must go to the Bo Wang Sea this time. After all, there's a great opportunity there. I wonder if Brother Yi is interested?" Song Li went straight to the point.
"The Jasper Pavilion in the depths of the Bo Wang Sea, the hidden place of the Demonic Saint Crown Prince Qiu Yu." Yi Tian did not answer directly. He suddenly mentioned this place in his mind and thought to himself, 'Looking at Song Li's serious look, I didn't expect him to be so selfish.' He then replied, "It's rumored that the Bo Wang Sea is a stronghold left behind by the Demonic Saint Crown Prince Qiu Yu during the last demon disaster. There might be some high-level spiritual treasures or treasures left behind."
Song Li was shocked. He immediately looked at Yi Tian with a stern gaze and sized him up. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Brother Yi is indeed a person with great luck. I just don't know where you got this information from."
"The One-Eyed Scarlet-Eyed Demon of the Demon Race army," Yi Tian replied indifferently. "Speaking of which, this matter is not simple. These invading Demon Race cultivators all have their own plans. However, the stronghold of the Demon Saint Crown Prince Qiu Yu in the depths of the Vast Expanse Sea is genuine. There are secret treasures left behind by the Demon Saint Crown Prince Qiu Yu, and it is an opportunity for many Body Integration cultivators."
Song Li's eyes glinted when he heard that. Then, he said, "Actually, I also learned about this from Dugu Chenglong of the Heavenly Fiend Clan. It's just that I'm a little unsure about colluding with these devil cultivators. "
"Then Fellow Daoist Song, aren't you afraid that the higher-ups of the three sects will find out about this?" Yi Tian asked with a smile.
"Of course not," Song Li said calmly. "Actually, the true meaning of this Demon Calamity is to deplete the excess cultivators of the Spirit Race and Demon Race so that we can achieve a balanced distribution of resources. We Body Integration cultivators are naturally aware of this, so we will not risk our lives unless there are special circumstances. "
This logic was similar to what Monk Jie Ding said. These Body Integration cultivators of the Demon Race had all cultivated through thousands of tribulations. They would not come to the Spirit Realm to fight to the death just because of one sentence from the Demon Saint. They valued their lives more than anything else.
As for Song Li and Dugu Chenglong, it was expected that they would be asking a tiger for its skin. Cultivators like them who had not made any progress in thousands of years could not just sit around and guard the Realm Gate. If it were him, he would also take the risk. If he could really find a trace of opportunity in the Vast Expanse Sea, it might be a different story.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian asked again, "Fellow Daoist Song, do you want me to go with you today?"
"It's best if you can go together. After all, the Demon Saint Crown Prince Qiu Yu will definitely be guarding such a dangerous place," Song Li said.
Yi Tian weighed the pros and cons. He was going there to deal with the Scarlet-Eyed Demon. If he got involved with Dugu Chenglong and Song Li for no reason, it would definitely backfire. After thinking about it, he waved his hand and said, "Speaking of which, although I know that place, I heard that the things left in there might not be useful to me now. Moreover, I'm still thinking of ways to deal with the Scarlet-Eyed Demon. It's not a good time to ask me to go."
Hearing his rejection, Song Li did not show any disappointment. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "Since that's the case, I won't force you. However, I still want to ask the Mythical Fire Palace to send people to guard the Realm Gate while I'm away to ensure the safety of this place."
"Fellow Daoist Song, don't worry about this. I will make the appropriate arrangements," Yi Tian replied, "It's just that this time, you will be accompanied by Dugu Chenglong. Naturally, you have to be more careful during this period."
"Brother Yi's reminder is right. However, I've already made up my mind. The arrow is already on the bow and has to be released," Song Li explained, "The depths of the Bo Wang Sea are full of unknowns, but it's also the only opportunity I can find to break through the bottleneck now."
Seeing that he was so determined, Yi Tian did not want to say anything more to dissuade him. After all, everyone had their own ambitions. However, Song Li was right. When he was away, the guards of the Realm Gate naturally could not be lax. Yi Tian then thought of the names of the two people. He would inform Zheng Tingyun after returning and then make a decision.
Later, the two of them talked about the general situation of the Scarlet-Eyed Demon Disaster. They both felt that the scale and degree of the Demon Disaster this time was far less violent than the previous time. Then, they exchanged their cultivation experiences. Half a day later, Yi Tian got up and left.
As the host, Song Li personally sent him off a hundred miles away before returning to the Realm Gate.
When he returned to the mountain where he was stationed, he revealed an unsettled expression. After some thought, he took out a communication jade charm from his storage ring and wrote down some information before activating it and sending it out. If Yi Tian were to see it again, he would definitely discover that the communication jade charm had transformed into a beam of light that flew straight towards the Demon Disaster zone.
After Yi Tian bade farewell to Song Li, he rushed back to the Li Fire Sect. After he was done with the matters at hand, he could focus on dealing with the invitation from the Scarlet-Eyed Demon thirty years later. As for the matters on the Demon Disaster battlefield, Zheng Tingyun was in charge, so there was no need for him to worry about it.
However, thinking back to his conversation with Song Li, Yi Tian could not help but have some doubts. If Dugu Chenglong and Song Li were to go deep into the Bo Wang Sea with him and the Scarlet-Eyed Demon, they were bound to meet.
From the looks of it, there was already a variable in his plan. With the two of them interfering, there would probably be more problems. And Song Li's stance was ambiguous. With such an attitude, it would be extremely difficult for him to cooperate with him.
Furthermore, this was the first time he was meeting Song Li. It was not very reliable for him to mention the matter of him going out to search for treasures. After thinking about it, Yi Tian decided to cooperate with the Scarlet-Eyed Demon. After all, both of them were equal in strength, and there was the premise of cooperation. Although they each had their own agendas, they would still secretly guard against each other. It was better than being stabbed in the back without knowing it.
