Chapter 619 - 441 Duo Bao Building
Li Yi performed a respectful bow toward the crowd in Zuixian Building before slowly speaking: "This time, I troubled Senior Tu to invite all the Taoist experts here to Zuixian Building. In truth, it is because I have an important matter to discuss."
"Taiyi, just speak directly. These old bones of ours are worthless. If there is any place where we can be of use, just say the word. As long as this old Daoist can help, I will not delay. After all, I’ve been freeloading food and drink these days, and it feels rather embarrassing." An older Daoist missing a few teeth chuckled as he spoke.
The others nodded in agreement.
They were now utterly destitute, living meal to meal, far from the glorious days of the past. To have someone regard them with such importance now deeply moved them.
Li Yi said, "Seniors, you must already know. At the **End of Dharma**, Spiritual Energy has vanished, and Daoist Skills fail to manifest. Once-proud Cultivation Experts can no longer adapt to this era. What’s more, vitality is depleting at an alarming rate, and countless experts are passing away in succession. If we don’t take action, in just a few more years, cultivators will completely disappear from the Tao Court."
"How could we not know? But we’re powerless to do anything about it." One of the Daoists sighed deeply, while the others remained silent, their expressions heavy with sorrow.
Li Yi continued, "Right now, seniors, forget about Cultivation—the very act of surviving is already a struggle. In such circumstances, why not burn the boats and leave behind the Tao Court, carrying your doctrines with you? Join me and journey across the seas to the **Land of Treasures**. There, I intend to spread a new method, establish a new foundation, and rekindle the path of Cultivation. Though the path ahead is fraught with challenges, there remains a glimmer of hope. It is far better than languishing here and wasting away the remaining years."
"To the Land of Treasures?"
These words left many of them momentarily stunned.
