Tony remained unfazed by Nick Fury's departure, continuing his research.
As for Li Yang, since Li Er no longer played with him, Li Yang could only gain experience alone in the world of the Po Jiang King.
Today, Li Yang suddenly felt a violent fluctuation emanating from far ahead. Li Yang quickly defended himself, but even so, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. Merely an aftershock, whose distance he couldn't fathom, had injured him directly.
Li Yang didn't hesitate to flee. Laughable, if he were any closer, he'd likely have met an inexplicable end!
At the same time, Li Yang opened the livestream. Li Er was the first to enter; after all, he was the most idle. Originally sunbathing on the beach, he suddenly heard the Heavenly Dao Group's notification and casually joined.
Soon, Tony arrived, followed by Tong Tian and Yuan Shi.
"Oh dear, brother, how did you end up like this?" Li Er exclaimed in surprise. Li Yang's face was pale, clearly indicating he was severely wounded.
"Heh heh!" Li Yang gave a dry chuckle.
"Three Lights Divine Water, heal yourself first!" Li Er directly sent a drop of Three Lights Divine Water as a red envelope. He had to be economical; his supply wasn't abundant.
Li Yang didn't stand on ceremony, consumed it immediately, and his complexion improved considerably.
"What happened?" Tong Tian also inquired.
At this moment, Jehovah, Ming He, Jie Yin, and Zhun Ti entered. The others were likely in seclusion and hadn't come.
Everyone else was also bewildered as to how Li Yang had suddenly become so heavily injured.
"It's nothing, there was a great battle ahead, and I was injured by the aftershocks," Li Yang replied.
Li Er's expression immediately turned strange, and he said, "Good heavens, you're too lucky!"
Li Yang rolled his eyes. Did he call this good luck?
Li Er continued, "Think about it, such intense aftershocks, how fierce must their battle have been? Perhaps they both suffered greatly? You could go and reap the rewards!"
Li Yang was stunned. What he said made so much sense that he couldn't refute it.
"The aftershocks have stopped now, hurry up and go take a look, maybe you can really snag a bargain!" Li Er suggested.
Li Yang considered it. Fortune favors the bold; he flew towards the direction of the fluctuations, his Dao Po already prepared for immediate action.
In the distant void, numerous spatial rifts appeared, clearly indicating that the previous battle had been too powerful for the surrounding space to withstand.
From afar, Li Yang saw a phantom hovering. Upon closer inspection, it was the disheveled old Daoist!
On the other side of the disheveled old Daoist, a broken figure slowly rose, laughing heartily, "You old scoundrel, today is your death day!"
The disheveled old Daoist was now in a state of Nascent Soul, extremely weak. Seeing the figure, he sighed, realizing he was likely to perish here today.
Just then, he saw Li Yang and immediately shouted, "Quick, he's from the Dawn! Kill him!"
Li Yang didn't hesitate and unleashed his Dao Po. They had killed those from the Dawn before. Moreover, the disheveled old Daoist had met him once and had resolved a potential threat for them, so he naturally intervened.
Dao Po instantly pierced through the figure, shredding it and annihilating its Nascent Soul. The disheveled old Daoist breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Li Er had sent Li Yang three drops of Three Lights Divine Water.
After receiving them, Li Yang said, "Senior, this is Three Lights Divine Water, it will be beneficial for your recovery."
The disheveled old Daoist opened his mouth and inhaled, his Nascent Soul beginning to condense a physical body. Suddenly, the disheveled old Daoist's expression changed. He reached out and grabbed, and two spatial rings appeared in his hands. He quickly took out a ring-shaped object from one of the spatial rings, scooped up Li Yang, and darted inside.
Soon, Li Yang saw a bright light ahead. Then, the two emerged. The disheveled old Daoist directly put away the ring-shaped object, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then said, "That was close, I almost died again."
Li Yang was utterly bewildered.
The disheveled old Daoist then explained, "He has companions, Ancestral Venerable seventh level. With my current strength, I wouldn't have lasted a single move!"
Li Yang clicked his tongue, "Holy cow, Ancestral Venerable seventh level? Thankfully! Otherwise, I wouldn't even know how I died."
He glanced at the disheveled old Daoist again. "Wow, this old man is probably not simple either. He might also be at Ancestral Venerable seventh level!"
"Kid, thank you for this. If it weren't for you, this old man might have fallen today," the disheveled old Daoist said with a sigh.
Those in the Heavenly Dao Group also sighed, marveling at Li Yang's good fortune. Clearly, he had saved a powerful expert, and whatever the expert casually dropped would likely be enough for Li Yang's cultivation.
"You are too kind, Senior. Didn't Senior save me once before?" Li Yang chuckled.
The disheveled old Daoist smiled sheepishly. He had received payment before, having taken the cultivation method for Dao Po. After a moment's thought, the disheveled old Daoist said, "Kid, you suit my taste. I am the only one left of my lineage. Are you willing to inherit my legacy?"
Li Yang was taken aback. Thinking of the myriad worlds, having a powerful master seemed like a good prospect. He immediately bowed and said, "This humble one, Li Yang, is willing to become your disciple, Senior!"
The disheveled old Daoist smiled and said, "Good. Since you've become my disciple, I should explain the situation of our lineage. Our sect is called the Divine Thief Sect. There are no strict rules, just don't go against your conscience or betray your master and ancestors."
Li Yang was immediately stunned. "What? I, such an upright person, have joined the Divine Thief Sect?"
The disheveled old Daoist didn't seem to care and chuckled, "See what this is?"
As he spoke, the disheveled old Daoist raised his hand, revealing a snow-white wooden carving.
Li Yang was shocked. This was something from his spatial ring! He knew his spatial ring was a divine artifact, yet someone had just stolen from it so easily?
"In reality, this is a utilization of illusion techniques and spatial laws. Although I don't possess the space attribute, some techniques and our cultivation methods allow us to perform them. This is our sect's secret art! I will now pass it on to you!" With that, the disheveled old Daoist took out a jade slip and tossed it to Li Yang.
After Li Yang secured it, the disheveled old Daoist produced another ring, saying, "These are some resources I've prepared for you. Oh, and this, this is our sect's divine artifact, the World Transference Ring. As long as there are coordinates, one can travel freely between the Great World and the myriad worlds. Our sect only has this pair, one for you and one for me!"
Li Yang smacked his lips. This was truly a valuable item, a divine artifact essential for escape!
In the Heavenly Dao Group chat, Ming He and the others were filled with envy. What kind of situation was this? Someone was gifted divine artifacts just for going out!
"Right, there are some people in the myriad worlds who possess anti-flight divine artifacts. You must be careful, or you might die," the disheveled old Daoist added.
Li Yang nodded quickly. This was very important. As for these anti-flight divine artifacts, he didn't know what they were, but at his current stage, he probably wouldn't provoke them.
