Chapter 1496: Chapter 1469: Wait and See
"Are you willing to join me in turning Qingtian Realm into the number one among the Nine Realms?"
Xiao Yi stared intently at Zhao Wudi, his clear eyes devoid of any other expression except determination.
Qingtian Realm is his home.
It’s his homeland.
This place birthed him, nurtured him.
Here lies his family.
Here are his friends.
Here is every bit of his memories...
He would never allow anyone to ruin Qingtian Realm.
Zhao Wudi looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief, momentarily speechless.
Making Qingtian Realm the number one among the Nine Realms?
To know that Qingtian Realm is at the bottom of the Nine Realms.
Even if his father Zhao Wuji showed up, it would be difficult to change this fact, as a world’s strength fundamentally requires peak force.
More importantly, the overall strength of the beings in the world matters.
Just like the legendary number one of the Nine Realms, the Zhongtian Realm, which is universally acknowledged as the strongest existence.
Zhongtian Realm.
It evolved from the largest world fragment after the Nine Heavenly Domains crumbled, being half the size of the Nine Heavenly Domains!
This size refers not just to territory but also its Heavenly Dao, its resources, and the beings residing in the Zhongtian Realm.
It’s something absolutely unshakeable.
In contrast, Qingtian Realm?
It’s the smallest among the Nine Realms, and if not for the rumored treasure that caused the Nine Heavenly Domains to crumble, said to be lost in Qingtian Realm, no one would even glance at this weak world.
Xiao Yi wants to turn such a Qingtian Realm into the number one of the Nine Realms?
Anyone hearing this would likely think Xiao Yi is talking nonsense, overstepping his bounds.
Zhao Wudi gave a bitter smile, "You must be joking..."
"I’m not joking!"
Xiao Yi said solemnly, "Just as you said, even if we are strong enough to fend off threats for Qingtian Realm once, twice, thrice, we cannot protect them eternally. To ensure Qingtian Realm’s tranquility requires powerful strength; only strength is the root of everything!"
Zhao Wudi looked at Xiao Yi in surprise.
He did not expect Xiao Yi was not just being impulsive, but truly intended to make Qingtian Realm number one among the Nine Realms!
However.
The difficulty involved seemed to leave Zhao Wudi without a shred of hope.
Zhao Wudi gave a bitter smile, "This is simply impossible... Rather than hoping for this, gather those you cherish quickly and use the Domain Passage in the battlefield outside to live in other worlds. With our strength, we can thrive even in higher worlds..."
His attitude was extremely sincere when saying this.
Naturally, it was from the heart.
With their Saint King Realm cultivation, unless they went to the legendary terrifying Zhongtian Realm, they could become rulers in any other world.
Not to mention making a comeback, achieving greatness again.
At least survival would not be problematic.
As long as Qingtian Realm...
Due to Master Mingyue’s dying counterattack, exposing its coordinates was just a matter of time, Zhao Wudi didn’t want to stay and die.
However.
Facing Zhao Wudi’s persuasion, Xiao Yi shook his head, his expression as firm as ever, showing no signs of wavering, "Qingtian Realm is my home, I cannot leave it."
Zhao Wudi: "..."
He scrutinized Xiao Yi.
Really wanting to ask, "Are you crazy?"
But the more he looked at the young man in front of him, significantly younger than himself, Zhao Wudi increasingly felt like he was seeing the shadow of his father, Zhao Wuji.
Back then, Zhao Wuji attempted to overthrow the Hall of Longevity; initially, everyone who heard the news was utterly incredulous, followed by sneering ridicule.
No one believed he could do it.
What Xiao Yi is doing now is exactly what his father did back then.
Seems to offer no hope.
Yet he persists.
This persistence is not for themselves, but to protect Qingtian Realm, their shared home.
Zhao Wudi was a little dazed, silent for ten breath cycles, he let out a long sigh, looking serious and solemn like never before, "How do you plan to do it?"
Xiao Yi was taken aback, surprised to see Zhao Wudi.
Zhao Wudi glared at him, "I’m asking you, what’s the plan?"
Xiao Yi’s lips subtly curved upwards.
He knew Zhao Wudi agreed to take a gamble with him.
This is one of the only two Saint King Realm powerhouses in Qingtian Realm.
Xiao Yi said deeply, "First step, is to recreate the Ancient Qingtian Realm!"
"Recreate the Ancient Qingtian Realm?"
Zhao Wudi looked at Xiao Yi, bewildered.
He hadn’t yet understood what Xiao Yi meant.
Xiao Yi did not play games, spoke earnestly, "I want to reintegrate the five continents in the east, south, west, north, and center, so that the Ancient Azure Heaven Continent from Ancient Times reappears in Qingtian Realm."
Buzz!
These words not only shocked Zhao Wudi.
Even Fang Qingzhu and others who had just approached looked bewildered at him.
"What? Recreate the Azure Heaven Continent from Ancient Times?"
"How is that possible? You know creating is a hundred, thousand times harder than destroying, even if Xiao has power beyond a Saint King, recreating a continent isn’t that easy!"
"It’s not just about putting together land, but connecting the land veins and all its mountains and rivers. Besides that, the fragmented Azure Heaven Continent was shattered into countless scattered islands; just gathering these islands is extremely difficult, isn’t it?"
"There’s no chance of success..."
Even Fang Qingzhu, who always blindly trusted and admired Xiao Yi, frowned slightly. Though she said nothing more, her inner concern was palpable.
Now Qingtian Realm’s internal troubles are temporarily relieved, but external threats persist.
Xiao Yi is the spiritual pillar for everyone in Qingtian Realm, he’s an undefeated legend, if he fails in this attempt to recreate the Ancient Azure Heaven Continent.
Might cause the collapse of the spiritual pillar.
This is no trivial matter for a Qingtian Realm already in turmoil!
"Don’t worry!"
Xiao Yi gently squeezed her hand, his determined gaze sweeping across everyone, he said deeply, "My mind is made up, no need for persuasion. Everyone, get ready, three days later, I will rebuild the Azure Heaven Continent!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Xiao Yi waved his hand, summoning the massive Divine King Temple.
The Divine King Temple hovered in the air.
He led Fang Qingzhu directly into the Divine King Temple.
The orange cat lay on a jade pillar in the square of the Divine King Temple, its tail swaying behind it, while Food Realm Beast burrowed in its thick fur.
The two beasts were talking.
Food Realm Beast: "Can master really succeed?"
The orange cat flicked its tail, its jewel-like bright blue eyes shimmering with insight: "Let’s wait and see!"
