Chapter 1269: Valley of Relics
The gate to the castle of Space-time Office was so large that over a dozen people could walk through it in one go. There were two side doors with warriors in red and blue armors guarding. Lu Li checked and noticed that the warriors were even more powerful than prefecture warriors. Space-time Office sure was resourceful.
Lu Li saw that there were people coming and going by the two side doors but not the main gate. He stepped to a side door and asked the two guards. “I want to teleport to a place. Which door should I go in?”
The guards did not seem to be arrogant at all. They nodded politely and said, “Here. There will be people receiving you inside.”
Lu Li nodded and stepped. It was a hall where several old men were standing. One of them came to great Lu Li after he came in. “My honorable guest, what do you need the Space-time Office help you with?”“I want to go to Valley of Relics!” Lu Li came straight to the point.
“The Valley of Relics in Southern Sun Prefecture?”
The old man’s hair was neatly, and he seemed like such a gentleman. Having received an affirmative reply, the old man said, “Teleporting there directly will cost two hundred thousand Divine Sources. Is the price acceptable to you?”
Lu Li gave a yes. The old man showed Lu Li inside. There were so many different corridors here. They took several turns before Lu Li arrived in a side hall. In here, there was an elegant altar with four statues of half-man, half-animal figures on four different sides. The spider-web like lines on the altar made Lu Li felt dizzy.
“The formation here is complicated!”
Lu Li used psychic power to check and exclaimed to himself. Pointing to the altar, the old man said, “When you pay, we will activate the Space-time Formation and send you to Valley of Relics. The difference in location will be limited within thirty miles!”
“Alright!”The famous Space-time Office would not have lied. Lu Li paid at once. Before he stepped into the altar, he asked, “I am just wondering… how much it will cost if I want to teleport back to the mortal world?”
“It depends on which universe you are going to.”
The old man replied, “Usually, it will cost at least hundreds of millions of Divine Sources to go to a mortal universe. If the universe is distant, then it will cost billions or even tens of billions. Of course, if you are just sending back some artifacts, it will cost less.”
“Well…”
Lu Li was taken aback. Ling Feidu, as the most favored young master from Cabinet of Cloud, only had three hundred Divine Sources and Lu Li had killed so many people but he only collected five hundred Divine Sources. The Divine Sources must be hard to come by…
He might need to spend at least hundreds of millions, or even billions or tens of billions of Divine Sources to return to Earth Imperial Universe. Did he have to keep on killing someone like Ling Feidu? How many people should he kill before he could get one hundred million Divine Sources?
“Well, I see. Thank you very much. Now, please send me to Valley of Relics!”
Lu Li clasped his hands. Returning home was not something he should think of now. He must first get everything sorted out in the Divinity and survive the pursuit from Cabinet of Cloud.
Lu Li stepped into the altar and the old man waved his hand. Four white-robed and white-haired old man came in. They poured out divine energy into the four statues.
“Buzzing~”
Soon, the statues lit up and then the lines on the altar did, too. The light became increasingly glaring until Lu Li felt his world was filled with the white. He trembled and then vanished in the altar.
After a long time, maybe several hours, or maybe a day or two, Lu Li finally felt he could step on the ground. He felt weak in his legs and fell to the ground with a dizzy head.
After the time for over a dozen breaths, he finally felt better. He shook his head and used psychic power to check. He was inside a forest. Luckily, there was no wild beast around or else he would become their prey. That being said, with the supreme Relic armor, the average wild beasts would not be able to kill him.
Resting for a while, Lu Li stood up. He went into the invisible mode and walked around. A moment later, he arrived at the entrance to a valley.
On both sides there were towering mountains. A magnificent city wall was built around the entrance and on the wall wrote the words—Valley of Relics!
“The Teleportation Formation built by Space-time Office is impressive. They can send people over here while there is no Teleportation Formation on this side.”
Lu Li said to himself. He frowned when he noticed the big crowds sitting outside the city gate. Why were so many people sitting out here? How come the Valley of Relics allowed people to be here?
“Buzzing~”
Lu Li put away the Cloaking Armor and stepped slowly toward the ground, just wearing his regular cyan robe.
“We have two more days. It’s so long!”
“How can you join Chamber of Relics with so little patience? You must know that in forging artifacts, patience is the most important factor. You will never be accomplished in the study of Inhibition Formations without patience.”
“Right, we’ve been waiting here for months. What is two days? The only way to become a respected craftsman here in southern Divinity is to join Chamber of Relics!”
“The Chamber of Relics will start recruiting in two days. I wonder what the test is this time. I have failed nine times in a row. If I cannot succeed, I will never be able to join Chamber of Relics.”
“Ha, ha, I, Liu Dahua, am confident that I will make it and become a craftsman. Following that, I will become a skilled craftsman, an expert craftsman, a master craftsman and then I will join Craftsman’s Sect so that I can have my ways in the Divinity…”
Before Lu Li arrived, he could hear them chatting about. It would be difficult to create no noise when thousands of people were sitting here.
“The test will be in two days. Perfect timing!”
Lu Li was glad. He stopped to listen to them talking carefully, trying to obtain more information so that he could succeed in joining Chamber of Relics.
“Whoosh, whoosh~”
Right at that moment, some people were coming from the path Lu Li stood on. He could hear some footsteps.
Since he was zoning out, he did not notice in time. By the time he came to his senses and looked back, he saw a team of white shadows hurrying over and the one in the front was about to bump into him.
“Piss off~”
A female shouted and she cracked a white whip at Lu Li’s face.
“Well?”
Lu Li pulled a long face. He almost had the urge to let out the immortal’s body on a killing mission. At the final moment, he chose to swallow the pain. He turned away and dodged the whip.
“Splash~”
The whip did not land on his face, but his shoulder. The force smashed Lu Li away and he fell to the ground.
“Hiss, hiss~”
The white shadows came to a stop. Lu Li crawled up and took a look. The white shadows were white unicorns and many beautiful ladies were riding the unicorns.
The unicorn in the front was the most handsome of all and so was the lady sitting on the unicorn. She had a white, revealing soft armor and her chest and flat belly were exposed. She had on a leather skirt and a pair of leather boots but her thighs were unclothed.
She was a beauty, but she did not have a good temper. Looking at Lu Li arrogantly and pointing the whip at him, she asked, “Is there anything wrong with your head? Why are you standing in the middle of the road? If you hurt my ride, I will finish you.”
