I am a high-level martial arts master.

Chapter 318 The Dragon Girl Resurrects, Enemies Arrive from Beyond the Heavens?

The sky was darkened by clouds, within a vast nebula spanning hundreds of thousands of light-years.

A carefree young man, dressed in Buddhist robes, strolled among them.

Wherever it passed, galaxies crumbled and everything melted.

With a wave of his hand, a flash of light captured the distant, shimmering star, while a blue light emanated from his hand, annihilating any gods or demons who dared to resist.

Holding the magical artifact bestowed upon him by the sect, he was indestructible and unharmed.

Around him, countless gods and demons roared in resentment, wanting to annihilate this demon.

But whether it was a flying sword capable of piercing stars or a mad blade capable of cleaving down galaxies, they all disintegrated into nothingness when they approached the boy.

"It's nothing more than severing the connection between heaven and earth. This entire world was created by our ancestor. What does it matter if I take your lives?"

The boy sneered, and with a burst of light from his hand, all the roaring gods perished.

Death and fire roam this land.

All the spiritual energy within the bodies of the deceased gods was sealed into the book in their hands.

The knowledge, skills, and insights generated by spiritual energy are categorized and listed, and the more methods one cultivates, the more different insights one can gain.

But suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

From a great distance, I sensed the movement of a nebula in a vast expanse of space and time.

"A lightning tribulation? I remember this sector was supposed to be completely isolated? How could it attract a lightning tribulation?"

With this thought, the boy paused in his movements, followed by a spark of curiosity:

"Could it be that someone from a rival sect has sneaked into this small world?"

"But what use is there in such a barren place, where, according to records, the connection between heaven and earth has been severed for tens of thousands of years?"

Filled with curiosity, the boy thought for a moment, glanced back at the countless creatures in this nebula, and decided to go and see.

"The area affected by the lightning tribulation wasn't large, so it must have been protected by a magical artifact bestowed by our master. It's fearless against gods and demons, and repelled by all evil. What harm is there in going against it?"

In a split second, the boy abandoned the nebula and traversed into the distance, leaving behind a group of bewildered gods and demons.

……

On the other end, the entire area above the cherry blossom's peak had been completely cleansed.

Looking down at the island below, Ye Li was not someone who was easy to kill.

If one's strength reaches the level of a Grandmaster, one can use their abilities to precisely eliminate all the evils on this world's timeline.

Unfortunately, due to insufficient strength, this is all that can be done.

"Ultimately, it's just a matter of insufficient strength," Ye Li sighed inwardly.

The evils of the future are not fictitious, nor are they the so-called evils of the race.

It is an inevitable destiny!

The two universes are converging, and if I don't interfere, the prophecy will inevitably come true.

Therefore, we must nip problems in the bud and eradicate evil completely!

Ye Lixin said, "Besides, the number is actually quite small, less than one in a million."

In a city of hundreds of millions of people, there are only a handful of martial artists at the Transformation Realm level.

The probability is less than one in ten million.

This cleanup not only eliminated martial artists at the Transformation Realm, but also wiped out the inhuman demons.

From then on, this land no longer needed to worship the wild gods, and the number of people who went into hiding greatly decreased.

Turning his head, Ye Li looked at Yang Shaohou and said:

"From now on, this island nation will be free of poison. After the top leadership has been purged, all that is needed is to enforce the law strictly, and long-term stability will naturally follow. Moreover, the channels between the top and bottom will be reopened."

"As for now, we will return to our country for a temporary rest and then take a firm stance to deal with everything."

Ye Li said, his tone filled with intense killing intent.

Compared to the current situation in Sakura, the situation in China is actually more chaotic, with various local warlords taking turns in power, requiring a strong purge.

But Ye Li is confident he can solve everything!

In a world where individual strength reigns supreme, the course of the world depends on the single thought of the strongest!

Capitalism! Feudalism! Slavery!

All three of these depend on the preferences of the person in the highest position.

If you're told to take a certain path, then the entire civilization must be forced to rush down that path.

In the world of high-level martial arts, civilization, in a sense, depends on the strongest.

The reason why the land of China was in chaos in the past.

Essentially, it's about seeing that the god is dead, and the balance of power among a dozen or so powerful cultivators.

Different powerful figures spread their ideologies outward, leading to fierce internal strife and widespread suffering.

But at this moment, Ye Li was confident that he could single-handedly quell all the dissent.

After all, the land of China, now reduced to only Gang Jin, could be easily subdued by Ye Li at this moment.

With this thought in mind, the two of them headed towards China.

His return caused a jolt of tension in the hearts of the Chinese people, as seen through the light screen.

Even Amaterasu, a demigod at the peak of her powers, was no match for him. How could he possibly contend with her?

Moreover, considering what this guy did in the island nation, how could he possibly return safely?

Thinking of this, an extreme unease arose in the hearts of those with powerful inner strength.

Some of them had committed incredibly despicable acts in the past. What would Ye Li do if he were to settle accounts with them now?

"Demon Ye is back!"

"Damn it! Run! Forget about him!"

"Take all your valuables with you, we're crossing the river!"

……

After Ye Li's news spread on the light screen, countless warlords at the Gang Jin level immediately chose to retreat!

The disparity in strength meant they had no intention of fighting back.

The next instant, a strange wind arose.

In a panic, countless powerful beings fled westward with their assets and subordinates from their core cities.

In an instant, seven or eight cities sprang up from the ground and were swept westward at near the speed of light.

With their strength in the Gang Jin technique, they could go anywhere in the world.

There's absolutely no need to fight Ye Li to the death here. Just take your concubines and assets and run away.

Ye Li had anticipated these people, but he didn't interfere much.

Although martial artists at the Gang Jin level are easy to kill.

But if they want to cause destruction before killing, it will be enormous.

It would be better to just let these people leave China on their own, which would save him the trouble of governing later.

As for those below the Gang Jin level, there is absolutely no room for negotiation.

Looking at Ye Li, who was moving in a beam of light beside him, Yang Shaohou finally couldn't help but say:

"Fellow Daoist Ye, do you perhaps intend to emulate the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and redefine Chinese ethics? Or perhaps you wish to emulate the Roman Emperor Caesar, sitting atop your throne to suppress all evil in China?"

As he asked the question, the people behind the light screen couldn't help but feel a stirring in their hearts and curiosity arose. Could it be that Ye Li was preparing to become the emperor?

Seeing this, Ye Li couldn't help but laugh:

"Old Yang, don't get your hopes up. I'm not interested in what's going on here."

"I am a being from beyond the heavens, and I will not linger in this matter. The so-called throne cannot hold me back."

"I just couldn't stand seeing war break out on the land again, so I couldn't help but step in to quell it. It will last for three to five years at most, or as short as two or three months, before I pass away again."

Ye Li's words made Yang Shaohou's face show regret.

He really wanted Ye Li to stay and govern the world for a long time.

After all, judging from Ye Li's character, he was not a violent person, and this trip to the island nation did not harm the common people below the Transformation Realm in the slightest.

With Ye Li guarding the area, the true gods of the West will not dare to invade, ensuring long-term peace and stability.

There are also true gods in the West. After ascending to heaven, they do not like to wage war. Relying on their personal power, they have an ideal country under their rule, where there is no suffering from disease and everyone lives in peace and prosperity.

That divine kingdom was Yang Shaohou's Shangri-La, and if Ye Li were to stay, it would certainly be no less than that.

Less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ye Li crossed the ocean and returned to the land of China.

At this moment, however, the strength of this land is more depleted than ever before.

The internal energy that originally occupied the capital and other places has now disappeared by 80%.

Most of those who remained had a clean past and were not afraid of Ye Li's questioning.

Yang Shaohou looked at Ye Li with some anticipation: "What's the next step?"

He had long been displeased with the warlord era and the chaotic world, and when he heard that Ye Li wanted to change this world, he was eager to try.

"It's not about what I do, but what you do!"

"Us?" Yang Shaohou couldn't help but frown.

"Now no external force can stop you; it doesn't matter whether you come or I do."

Ye Li smiled and said, "I will not interfere with anything on this land, including laws, education, production, and distribution. Do as you plan."

"Vigorously introduce technology and build this land according to your ideals."

"Under my Qi and Blood Network, everyone now possesses hidden strength, and your individual productivity is limitless."

"As for me? I'm only responsible for two things: preventing outsiders from breaking in and preventing those inside from causing chaos."

"What about those who caused trouble in the past?" Yang Shaohou couldn't help but ask.

Ye Li said calmly, "You can atone for your crimes by performing good deeds and let bygones be bygones. You can weigh the pros and cons yourself."

"During the process, you will find that your former fellow disciples could not resist the temptation and were corrupted by the influence of power. How to deal with them is up to you to weigh."

"Compared to these flexible resistances, the hard resistances are not so difficult."

Ye Li chuckled, already anticipating the problems these people would face in the future.

That must have been filled with countless grievances, confusion, and anger.

Yang Shaohou's face darkened, and he suddenly realized that change was not so easy.

In the past, I only thought about how to survive, and I had clear goals.

But the problem we face now is how to deal with the person who could change drastically at any moment.

The former simply requires killing, while the latter is infinitely more complex.

When Ye Li was cleaning up the cherry blossoms, countless people contacted him through connections. In China, it would be even more difficult for an upright official to settle family disputes.

"If you were here, what would you do?" Yang Shaohou couldn't help but ask.

"I was just too soft-hearted, that's why I let you take action."

Ye Li had an expression that suggested he was enjoying the show and wasn't afraid of things getting worse.

"Many things start with making concessions little by little. If Tao Yu and Le Yao came to me for help, I would have a headache too."

"So you guys can play the bad guy; I'll just do the work."

"Of course, don't back down too much, otherwise when I personally take action, the number will be much higher."

Ye Li looked at Yang Shaohou's bitter face and secretly chuckled.

Over the course of nearly a thousand years, this guy must have had many disciples and former subordinates, and the issue of turning the blade inward has given him quite a headache.

Moreover, Ye Li cannot protect this civilization forever.

After he leaves, he will surely leave behind a powerful and prosperous China free from foreign invasion.

But whether a powerful China will be eroded by time, and whether the people living there are happy, is another question altogether.

Ye Li is prepared to be the savior, but not the big brother who controls everything.

We must let them come up with a solution to this problem themselves.

By the time Ye Li returned, the sky had already begun to darken.

Bathed in moonlight, the old locust tree, now sprouting new buds, casts a dense shadow, and Ye Li's figure returns to the courtyard once more.

As the figure appeared, it pounced over and buried itself in Ye Li's arms.

Le Yao wrapped her arms around the boy's waist, her bright eyes filled with reassurance:

"I'm so glad you're alright. I was terrified when I saw the light screen."

Pei Taoyu, standing to the side, gazed at Ye Li's retreating figure. Although there was no physical barrier between them, she could still sense the enormous gap between them.

Not long ago, she was just a young lady from a prominent family whose entire clan had been wiped out by a powerful cultivator, and she had not yet fully adapted to her new identity.

Unlike Le Yao, who already had a physical and spiritual relationship, there was always an invisible barrier between her and Ye Li.

Watching the girl embracing Le Yao so warmly, jealousy slowly took root and grew in his heart, followed by a quiet rise of inferiority.

"This vixen, since when did she start associating with my senior...?"

Pei Taoyu pursed her thin lips.

Even the slowest person would notice the shady dealings between Ye Li and Le Yao.

Even though we're only a few steps apart, it feels like we can never cross that threshold.

"It's so unfair! I've worked so hard, all I wanted was for my senior to notice me."

A faint, dark black hue emerged from the depths of his eyes:

"The current seniors are so formidable that even true gods cannot contend with them; it's becoming increasingly difficult for Pei Yu to catch up."

Countless thoughts arose in her consciousness, but then a warm hand gently patted the girl's shoulder:

"What are you standing there for?"

Ye Li waved his hand gently in front of Pei Taoyu's eyes, looking at the girl who was lost in thought:

"Have you been practicing too hard lately? Why don't you take a break?"

"senior."

Pei Taoyu stared at the young man in front of her, who was deep in thought:

"Now that this incident is over, I really should take a good rest. I can't just keep practicing every day. Why not take this opportunity to travel and explore these beautiful landscapes?"

Ye Li pondered the plan carefully.

This breakthrough to the third stage is a rare achievement, and the heavenly will above my head is so dark it's almost overflowing. I really need to balance work and rest.

Ye Li, who has been cultivating diligently since he transmigrated to this day.

But we can't put the cart before the horse. Isn't the purpose of cultivation to enjoy life? He's been cultivating so hard, and now he's just enjoying himself?

This is a good opportunity to go out and have some fun, and it's a kind of temporary vacation.

"I agree!"

Zheng Leyao cheered. She had been worried that she didn't spend enough time with Ye Li, and now she could finally find some time to spend with the three of them.

"Damn it, I have to drag this burden along with me!"

Zheng Leyao thought bitterly to herself, somewhat annoyed by Pei Taoyu's slowness.

If I had gone for it earlier, wouldn't I have been taken down by this pervert by now?

Just kiss him, he won't resist!

He kept dawdling, making Ye Li feel hesitant to act freely in front of him.

Zheng Leyao: "You despicable, lowly woman!"

Of course, she would never give a hint, otherwise what would she be?

Did she actively encourage other girls to seduce her husband?

Zheng Leyao: "That's even more impossible! You lowly woman, you're just watching me and Ye Li hug and cuddle while you're on vacation, waiting until late at night to shed your pearls alone!"

For the next month, Ye Li took a rare break and traveled all over the country.

The land of China is changing at an unprecedented speed.

Yang Shaohou directly united a group of Gang Jin and Bao Dan practitioners who had not escaped, and subdued the separatist forces with pure martial force.

Without negotiation or compromise, they directly used strict laws to govern all sides.

Those local bullies who once relied on their internal strength to act arrogantly are now facing absolute force, with their leaders running away, and are either being wiped out or forced to surrender.

However, the entire China is too vast, and even with Yang Shaohou's powerful internal energy, he could only barely make any progress.

Using nanobots purchased from the West, the robots are self-renewing on Earth, continuously building infrastructure, and raising public awareness.

But then all sorts of problems arose, and once it involved people, it was a real headache.

Direct force would be simpler, but the relationships are complex and intertwined.

These heroes who once fought valiantly for their country also secretly preyed on their fellow villagers.

As Ye Li said, he doesn't get involved in the specifics of these matters; he simply ensures that no large-scale unrest occurs.

Despite the many problems, overall, everything is moving in a positive direction.

In addition, Ye Li received another piece of good news.

Inside the Crimson Gold Hall, Ye Li was using the Soul Nourishing Method to repair the Dragon Girl's remnant soul, and the Dragon Girl's remnant soul couldn't help but let out a soft groan.

Then, she slowly opened her beautiful eyes and looked at the dome in front of her.

"You're awake?"

Ye Li's voice came from the side, carrying a hint of relaxation:

You've finally regained consciousness. It wasn't in vain that I spent this time using methods to nourish your spirit and repair your broken soul.

At this point, Ye Li felt a sense of relief.

After all, the Dragon Girl was an old acquaintance of Yu Jing, and now that she had regained consciousness, Ye Li couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Feeling the shaking above her head subside, and realizing her current situation, she couldn't help but say:

Continue activating the Yin-Yang Tranquilizing Technique. What are you waiting for? My remnant soul hasn't fully recovered yet.

"Oh, oh."

Seeing this, Ye Li awkwardly continued to activate the Soul Nourishing Technique, which allowed the Dragon Girl to once again immerse herself in the nourishment of soul power.

During the time he was unconscious, he had been receiving nourishment from Ye Li's methods, and his soul had completely transformed into Ye Li's form.

Stopping now feels strange.

But at this moment, when his gaze returned to Ye Li, he was deeply surprised by the other party's powerful soul.

"How much time has passed? Has your soul cultivation already reached the Grandmaster level?"

In the Dragon Girl's perception, Ye Li's soul was now as solid as that of a regular Grandmaster.

Or rather, he was considered to be at the middle level among the early stages of the Grandmaster realm. Thinking back to when Ye Li was only at the first stage of cultivation before he fell into a coma, how much time has passed now?

"Not long, about three months."

Ye Li pondered before answering:

"Break through to the second stage in one month, break through to the third stage in another month, and after having enough soul power, it took another month for your soul to solidify."

"Only three months have passed! And you've already completed your third job advancement?"

The dragon girl's enormous soul, over two meters tall, looked at Ye Li's constantly striving divine sense. How many extraordinary encounters had this little guy encountered?

"When I crossed the void, your injuries were so severe that it took me a whole month to revive you after my third reincarnation."

As Ye Li spoke, the Dragon Girl realized that this guy's cultivation was truly abnormal.

When others cultivate, the time required for breakthroughs increases exponentially as they progress to later stages.

This guy seems to take months to break through each minor realm, which is far more time-consuming than even those golden attributes.

Ye Li shook his head and said, "Now that I've been in this world for several months, I'd like to ask you if there's any way to return to the Universe Realm."

"What's the point of replying?"

The dragon girl rolled her eyes, her jade-like pink soul tail coiling around Ye Li as she said:

"To return to the Universe Realm, one needs at least the cultivation level of a Grandmaster at its peak."

"Grandmaster level?"

Ye Li was stunned for a moment, but the next moment he was pressed down by the dragon girl:

"Stop dawdling, I'll do it myself."

The Dragon Girl snorted and said, "Otherwise what? The teleportation array connecting the entire universe was built during the era of the Martial Saint, and only the Martial Saint can use it."

"If you want to return to the Universe Realm, you must have a cultivation level comparable to a Grandmaster at the peak."

At this point, looking at Ye Li's focused soul and cultivation speed, the Dragon Girl hesitated and said:

"Judging from your current cultivation level and speed of cultivation, it will take at least several decades for you to reach the peak of Grandmaster level and be able to officially return to the Universe Realm."

This was the judgment made by the Dragon Girl after reassessing Ye Li's cultivation level.

She initially thought that with her help, it would take Ye Li more than ten years to reach the peak of the Innate Realm, but now that goal has already been achieved.

Hearing what the Dragon Girl said, Ye Li nodded in agreement. The later the cultivation stage, the longer it takes, and the greater the gap between each realm.

In this world, the demigod and true god realms combined can only be considered as early-stage grandmasters, and they can only be considered pseudo-grandmasters with the physical bodies of grandmasters.

The next demon god will probably only have the cultivation level of a weak grandmaster in the middle stage.

The Dragon Girl spent hundreds of years to reach the current mid-stage Grandmaster realm. As for the difference between the late-stage and perfect Grandmaster realms, it is insignificant.

At this rate, returning to the Universe seems a long way off.

Seeing Ye Li deep in thought, the Dragon Girl snorted, "What's the point of going back? Isn't the outside world good enough?"

"Don't forget the scene before you fell unconscious. Countless people in the entire universe coveted your talent, and you cleaved a bunch of Grandmaster-level martial artists in a few strokes."

"When you return to the Universe Realm, you will likely face targeting from countless people. It would be better for you to continue your cultivation and enlightenment in these myriad worlds."

"Your cultivation has no bottlenecks. Once you truly possess the cultivation of a Grandmaster at its peak, go back and all problems will naturally be resolved."

Hearing the Dragon Girl's words, Ye Li understood the logic, but he still buried his head in her soft bosom and said:

"It takes decades to reach the peak of the Grandmaster level. Master and Xiyue will definitely be worried."

At this point, Ye Li also felt somewhat helpless:

"I've only known them for less than a year, yet I have to wait decades to go back."

Looking at Ye Li's inexplicable rambling, the Dragon Girl realized that compared to her own hundreds of years of life, the person in front of her was just a child who had cultivated for a few years.

This made her unable to resist reaching out and burying the boy in her arms, saying:

"There's no better way right now, but at least I'm here with you."

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Li and the Dragon Girl were having a conversation.

Beyond the thriving land of China, beyond the Milky Way, the young man who followed his heart's desire has already traversed countless galaxies and arrived beyond the Milky Way.

Looking at the Milky Way before him, a faint, indifferent smile appeared on his lips:

"I want to see what's going on here."
