Li Qi had arrived at this temporary base from the Dixu Realm.
His life, however, had not changed much.
Every day, he would still set up formations, cultivate, and wait for the plane lords who had reaped rewards to return and hand over their share of the Heavenly Dao Will to him.
Previously, after the first plane lord returned,
the next period of time
seemed to have a domino effect.
More and more plane lords returned to the base.
However, of course, not every plane lord had gained anything.
There were also many unlucky plane lords who not only failed to harvest any Heavenly Dao Will,
but instead suffered many injuries while fighting against plane lords from the Baiyang District or from other districts, and returned empty-handed.
From the words of these plane lords,
what Xu Tianzong had said was true: they had come to the Baiyang District a bit late during this period; most of the easily conquerable planes had already been dealt with.
What remained were mostly tough challenges.
Fortunately, httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
this was not a big problem for Li Qi, who was just collecting rent and taking a commission. He could safely act as a security guard at the base.
At this moment,
"Fellow Daoist Li, this is your share of the Heavenly Dao Will."
A figure bearing numerous injuries appeared before Li Qi, handing him several incomplete Heavenly Dao Wills of varying strengths.
Li Qi's eyes widened in surprise at the sight.
One incomplete Heavenly Dao Will came from one Heavenly Dao.
Several of them this time meant several Heavenly Dao Wills.
Who was so formidable to have obtained so many at once?
He looked up and found that the person was actually someone familiar to him.
It was none other than Gu Mengping, the plane lord of the Mengchang Small World, whom he had met multiple times before.
Without any hesitation, Li Qi fed the incomplete Heavenly Dao Wills handed over by Gu Mengping to the Heavenly Dao Will of the Dixu Realm.
"Among the plane lords who have obtained Heavenly Dao Wills during this period, your harvest is the most abundant."
Gu Mengping smiled and waved his hand.
"It's just good luck. I happened to encounter a few small world planes. There were no other competitors, so it didn't take much effort to obtain the Heavenly Dao Will."
"This is not merely luck."
Li Qi said, looking at Gu Mengping.
In the entire Xiaoyan District, apart from Xu Tianzong, who was in the Hedao stage, Gu Mengping's strength at the peak of the Return to Void stage placed him in the top tier.
"By the way, during these past few days, so many of you plane lords have returned to the base, and some are even preparing to leave again. Why haven't I seen any sign of Xu Tianzong?"
Li Qi suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this question, the smile on Gu Mengping's face slightly faded.
"Senior Xu is not responsible for harvesting Heavenly Dao Wills. As the strongest person in our Xiaoyan District, he needs to help us guard against Hedao stage plane lords from other districts."
"So that's how it is."
Li Qi nodded, understanding dawning on him.
At the same time, he realized he had misunderstood something earlier.
That was the one-tenth share of Heavenly Dao Will that Xu Tianzong, like himself, could obtain from other plane lords in the Xiaoyan District.
He had originally thought it was a protection fee charged because Xu Tianzong was the strongest in the Xiaoyan District.
Now it seemed that Xu Tianzong was responsible for distracting the Hedao stage plane lords from other districts.
Otherwise, if these Hedao stage experts personally intervened, harvesting the small world planes in the Baiyang District would indeed be much faster.
But correspondingly, if plane lords in the Return to Void stage from various districts encountered Hedao stage plane lords from other districts,
the final outcome would be heavy casualties for all the Return to Void stage plane lords, which was not worth it.
Time flew by, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.
For two years, Li Qi, the security guard, had not left the base.
After he had sketched out another defensive formation at the base, he nodded with satisfaction.
Although the defensive formations on the base were not numerous due to the short accumulation time, with only twenty in total at most,
it was fortunate that Li Qi's formation skills were constantly improving.
The power of the same formation, when deployed by Li Qi in the past and now, was not only vastly different but also significantly improved.
At this moment, not far from the base, a few dust-covered and injured plane lords returned dejectedly.
After returning to the base, they did not head towards Li Qi, clearly indicating that their outing had been fruitless again.
Seeing this, Li Qi's brows furrowed slightly.
Over the past two years,
except for the initial period when many plane lords returned with one or two Heavenly Dao Wills to hand over to Li Qi,
later on, it became increasingly difficult to find small worlds in the Baiyang District.
Even those that were found were tough nuts to crack. Furthermore, if a fight were to break out, the plane lords of those small worlds would inevitably fight back desperately, not to mention the competition from plane lords of other districts.
These factors combined had increased the difficulty of obtaining Heavenly Dao Wills by several times.
Li Qi mentally communicated with the Heavenly Dao of the Dixu Realm.
This Heavenly Dao Will of the Dixu Realm was a gluttonous pig that only knew how to eat and eat.
After being fed so much Heavenly Dao Will over the past two years, there was still no sign of its advancement.
"Hungry, hungry. Affection, affection. (✺w✺)"
"Scram!"
Li Qi directly and unilaterally cut off the communication from the Heavenly Dao Will of the Dixu Realm, which was trying to continue acting cute.
The Heavenly Dao Will of the Dixu Realm, far away in the Xiaoyan District, o(╥﹏╥)o: You've changed. You used to call me treasure, now you call me to scram.
Just then,
Suddenly, outside the base, anxious and panicked shouts rang out.
"Fellow Daoist Li, quickly activate the formation."
Li Qi's gaze instantly focused.
He saw quite a few plane lords from the Xiaoyan District fleeing towards the base in panic.
Behind them, plane lords, separated into two groups, were furiously pursuing them.
Among the pursuers, there were even many experts at the peak of the ninth level of Return to Void.
Seeing this, Li Qi's expression turned grim.
Without time to think, after the plane lords of the Xiaoyan District entered the base,
Li Qi's spiritual sense instantly communicated with the formations he had laid out over the past two years.
In an instant, a white barrier enveloped the entire base,
blocking the group of unfamiliar plane lords outside and preventing them from advancing an inch.
