Li Yi did not choose to return to the Golden Academy. Although his Tianyi Palace Dao Artifact was still at the Golden Academy, he wasn't worried about losing it because Wu the Taoist and Cang Erzi were stationed there. He wasn't concerned it would be taken away. If anyone could seize his Dao Artifact from two Tri-Floral Realm experts, he would willingly hand it over.
Feeling the cosmic energy on Earth more abundant than ever, Li Yi felt incredibly refreshed, and the oppressive atmosphere of the Dark World was completely gone.
However, Li Yi soon realized another problem: the cosmic pollution on Earth was becoming increasingly serious.
The gray-white cosmic energy permeated around him. Absorbing it into the body would result in self-pollution, possibly leading to confusion, madness, or insanity.
Moreover, the denser the cosmic energy, the more terrifying the pollution.
