Chapter 1130: To the Nine Universes

The first round of selection generated over 60 core disciples. Disciples from the immediate family only accounted for half of them, and the rest were all from branches and some were elites from affiliated families.

Though becoming core disciples meant that those from affiliated families had to change their surnames to Lu, they felt fine. Becoming a core disciple meant that they could develop. Not only would they earn fame in the Heaven Reverse Universe but also enjoy great resources. In a few decades, those warriors could be among the strongest warriors in the Great Land.

Lu Li let Lu Zhengyang and the others handle the follow-up matters. For now, Lu Li’s main task was to spend time with Jiang Qiling and the twins. Every now and then, he would cultivate Xuan Energy and consume some soul-nurturing pellets.

Upon reaching the Earth Immortal Realm, the cultivation of soul and Xuan Energy had become less important. The critical element was about the study of Profound Meanings. Of course, if Xuan Energy could be more profound and the soul could be stronger, it would be beneficial to one’s strength all the same.

Lu Li had already asked Jiang Qiling, Bai Xiashuang, and Bai Qiuxue but none of them wanted to accompany him to the Prison of Gold. Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue had to take care of Lu An. Bai Xiashuang wanted to go but given that where Lu Li was going to would be dangerous, she would have to stay in the Wicked Bead all the time. She found that boring.

Lu Li did not force them. He was going to take Little White with him and, of course, He Yue. He had to rely on He Yue to monitor the situation. While He Yue was not Lu Li’s spiritual beast, Lu Li had no intention of letting her go back to the Paleo-beast Realm. Instead, Lu Li had He Yue relocate the Bond Beast species to the Heaven Reverse Universe and stay under the umbrella of the Lu Family. They could enjoy a favorable treatment in resources as well.

He Yue naturally agreed. Going back with Master of Fairy Fox could not bring her a promising future. Lu Li, on the other hand, was someone that killed the Yan Family Patriarch. Besides, she knew Lu Li was going to leave a piece of Relic with the Lu Family. She believed that before going to the Divinity, Lu Li would have plans for the Lu Family. Her species would have a bright future with the Lu Family.

Lu Li called Ke Mang to the Valley of Cherry Blossoms and gave him 10 books on formations. Lu Li did not want Ke Mang to read them but to copy them.

That hall was filled with too many books on formations and many were on formations used in the Divinity. For the Shadowland Race which loved the study of formations, the 10 books Lu Li picked out were more valuable than Relics.

Ke Mang could not forge Relics. However, by copying those books on formations, the Shadowland Race was given a collection of treasure. Maybe, in the future, the Shadowland Race could rise rapidly because of those books.

Ke Mang glanced through the books, his eyes were filled with tears of excitement. He dropped to his knees and vowed that from this day, the Shadowland Race would swear loyalty to the Lu Family throughout eternity, and that would be the inexorable law of the Shadowland Race.

Lu Li gave the books for Ke Mang to copy so that the Lu Family could have a powerful help. With those books, Ke Mang could create many great formations, which would assist the Lu Family.

While the Shadowland Race did not have capable warriors, they were skilled at formations. Races like this usually have to rely on a powerful family for mutually beneficial cooperation.

Lu Li did not give all the books on formations for Ke Mang to copy for fear that the Shadowland Race would become too powerful for the Lu Family to control and maybe annex the Lu Family in the end.

As long as Ke Mang was still alive, that would not happen. But what if after thousands of years or tens of thousands of years, the Shadowland Race became stronger than the Lu Family because of all the formations they mastered? One should not forget to guard against possible harm done by others.

A month later, Lu Li embarked on his journey!

Many came to bid farewell. Almost all the powerful warriors from the Heaven Reverse Universe were here. Jiang Qiling and the twins said nothing, but there was concern in their eyes as if Lu Li would not come back from his journey.

“Squeak, squeak~”

Little White stood on Lu Li’s shoulder, happily. This time, Lu Li did not even bring the Dragon Demon, which was staying to evolve by eating more eggs of Feiyi Beast. After all, since the Dragon Demon was not intelligent, it was no longer a capable helper.

Master of Fairy Fox and Master of Haechi stood behind Lu Li. They seemed calm while inside the Wicked Bead; they were more than thrilled. Finally, they were going back. They were liberated. Following them were some Shadow Bats and other beasts. Now that the threat from the nine universes had passed, it was pointless for those beasts to stay.

“Time to go!”

Lu Li waved his hand and nodded to Jiang Qiling, Bai Xiashuang, and Bai Qiuxue. He let Master of Fairy Fox and the others into his Wicked Bead, and he entered as well. Then, the Wicked Bead dashed away in a blur.

“What?”

Many people were shocked when they saw how fast the Wicked Bead had become. In an instant, the Wicked Bead had disappeared into the horizon. It must be faster than the immortal’s body.

Many were exclaiming how unfathomable Lu Li had become. However, some felt their minds heavy with thoughts. The more powerful Lu Li was, the sooner he would go to the Divinity…

…

At the entrance of the Prison of Earth from the Prison of Wood, Ke Mang was waiting so that he could open the seal in time when Lu Li arrived.

“Saint Lord, bon voyage!”

Ke Mang bowed to Lu Li with respect. This time, Lu Li did not bring Ke Mang with him. After all, Lu Li was going to breach the Divine Imperial City. Ke Mang was not good enough yet. He might just as well stay at home to study the 10 books.

“Thank you!”

Lu Li waved his hand and stepped on the towering mountain. As Lu Li left, Ke Mang closed off the seal again.

After a flash, Lu Li appeared in the Prison of Earth. He activated the Relic armor in case someone would ambush him. Though Earth Immortal Realm warriors of the nine universes could not come to the Prison of Earth, he could never be too careful.

He used psychic power to check as soon as he arrived. He found some scouts by the entrance and some cloaked dwarfs.

“Hmm!”

Lu Li snorted. The Wicked Bead glowed as Master of Fairy Fox and Master of Haechi came out. Lu Li waved his hand and said, “Kill all the hiding scouts and those dwarfs that can go invisible.”

“Whoosh!”

Master of Fairy Fox and Master of Haechi flew over quickly. Master of Fairy Fox was almost a Semi-God Realm warrior and had a strong soul. Those hiding scouts could not hide from her.

“Whoosh~”

A warrior at the peak of the Human Sovereign Realm flew over and shouted from the distance, “Lord Lu, I am Chen Jin. My great-grandpa is Chen Tianxian.”

Lu Li waved his hand. He told Master of Fairy Fox and Master of Haechi to continue to deal with the dwarfs and did not mind the person.

Chen Jin flew over and dropped to his knees. “Nice to meet you, my lord!”

Lu Li nodded. Chen Jin was young. He was less than 20 years old and could reach the Earth Immortal Realm at any time. Even in the Chen Family, he could be regarded as a gifted warrior. Chen Tianxian asked Chen Jin to come to Lu Li, which was also an indication that Chen Jin enjoyed a high status in the Chen Family.

Lu Li waved Chen Jin up and said, “How is your great-grandpa?”

“Thank you, my lord, my great-grandpa is well!” Chen Jin stood up and replied with respect, “The Chen Family now rules the Central Imperial Universe. Great-grandpa said it is all because of you, my lord. Great-grandpa told me to come and introduce the situation of nine universes to you and assist you in finding the way.”

“Thank you!”

Lu Li was satisfied with Chen Jin’s attitude. He was young and born in a big family but was not arrogant at all, which was rare and commendable.

Lu Li did not know how famous he was in the nine universes. Not even patriarchs of some major families dared to assume any airs in front of Lu Li, not to mention Chen Jin, who was just a warrior from the Chen Family.

Who dared to be arrogant to a person that could end the Yan Family Patriarch?
