Emperor of Heaven Reverse's shadow had disappeared, but Lu Li was still thinking about his words.
Emperor of Heaven Reverse's last words stirred up a storm in his mind.
He remembered the first time he came to the Demon-slaying City. The statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse glowed, wanting to grant Lu Li divine energy and legacy.
However, the silver dragon mark resisted. In the end, Emperor of Heaven Reverse gave her the divine energy and the legacy.
That being said, Emperor of Heaven Reverse had noticed the silver dragon mark at first glance and recognized it as a treasure.
Emperor Zi said the silver dragon mark was a seventh-rank Enchanted Soul and a powerful piece of treasure. Lu Li was even more curious about the silver dragon mark.
How powerful was Lu Ling's family?
Otherwise, why would he give the newborn Lu Ling such a powerful treasure to protect her?
It seemed like even the Purple Emperor had never seen a seventh-grade demon soul before?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so shocked back then.
On second thought, Lu Li believed it was a good thing that Lu Ling's family was powerful. It would be easier for him to find her in the Divinity.
If he was sure that she had returned to the family and was living well, Lu Li would not have brought her back.
He was going to the Divinity to make sure that Lu Ling was doing well. After all, nobody knew if she had been taken back by her family. What if she had been kidnapped?
"Cultivate, cultivate!"
Lu Li shook his head. He went to chat with Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Jiang Tianshun and the others.
As for the content of the conversation with Emperor of Heaven Reverse, he kept it a secret.
Back to the Prison of Wood, Lu Li went back to cultivation. He only had one last Map of Fundamental Principle left and he could not wait to study it.
In the Transcendent State, Lu Li could study fast. It would only take him a couple of months to finish one big diagram. Lu Li planned to finish it in one spurt of energy during closed-door cultivation.
With 11 diagrams, Lu Li learned 11 Profound Meanings and all of them were wind-related Profound Meanings.
According to the order, they were Feather Wind Castle, Feather Wind Weapon, Traceless Wind, Wind Wisp, Catkins in the Wind, Wind Shadow, Wind Blade, Wind Shield, Storm Storm, and Tornado.
Some of the Profound Meanings were of great use but some were of little value. They couldn't enhance Lu Li's abilities by much.
But Lu Li did not attach much importance to those Profound Meanings. No matter how strong the Profound Meanings were, could they be more powerful than the immortal's body?
Lu Li wanted to integrate the 12 diagrams and eventually, he could learn the Origin Fundamental Principle.
This was a divine ability of a god. It was definitely ridiculously powerful.
Lu Li was in closed-door cultivation. Peace returned to the Heaven Reverse Universe. Though many disciples of the Lu Family had moved to the City of Mystic Armor, nobody dared to act rashly.
At most, they could take advantage of their identity as Lu Li's disciple to go around eating, drinking and having fun.
Right now, the reputation of the Lu Clan's descendants was very resounding. Be it the young masters of the direct lineage or the collateral lineage, they would receive a grand reception no matter which clan they went to.
Last time when Fang Rui entered the Great Land, the Palace of Heaven's Roars, the Red Lunar and the Palace of Immortal's Inquiries all surrendered.
Later on, the experts of these families were all killed by the Law Enforcing Elders. Many places in the Divine Great Land became ownerless.
According to Lu Zhengyang's plan, the four families should divide the territories equally so that they could strengthen their forces.
However, after a discussion, Patriarch of Law Enforcement and some other patriarchs decided that the Lu Family would give up the territory of the Pavilion of Blossoms to the Palace of Heaven's Roars!
In this way, the territories of the three forces in the center of the Great Land were all unoccupied. They were all connected together and became ownerless.
On behalf of the Demon-slaying Hall, Patriarch of Law Enforcement made an announcement. From now on, the Palace of Immortal's Inquiries, the Red Lunar, the Pavilion of Blossoms, and the other three territories would be ownerless.
Any force could occupy the cities and fight for all the resources. Fighting was allowed, but there was one rule: civilians were not to be slaughtered.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement and the others made the decision after a serious discussion — it was inevitable that the Lu Family would be the dominant force. Even if Lu Li ascended to the Divinity, the Lu Family would still have the advantage for a long time.
Jiang Family, Ye Family, and Kong Family would become the second tier. The other families would not be able to make a name for themselves.
The structure of the Great Land could not be changed. Many families would lose the drive to advance.
No matter how hard they tried, they would always be inferior to the four families. Anyone who dared to stand out would violate the interests of the four families and would end up in a bloodbath.
Now, there was an unoccupied piece of land in the center of the Great Land. The fact that the four families did not fight for it gave hope to many families.
Humans were selfish. Because of selfishness, there would be competition. Only with competition could there be progress.
With pressure, there would be motivation. Then, there would be more talents and powerful warriors.
In addition, there would be frequent wars in the unoccupied land. Hatred would be born. Hatred could be a strong motivation and it could produce many talented warriors.
In addition, if a major family could be born in the unoccupied land, it would exert pressure on the Lu Family, Ye Family, Kong Family, and Jiang Family. This could serve as a warning to the four families at any time.
Born in sorrow and hardship, died in peace and contentment. This old saying made sense.
In addition, Patriarch of Law Enforcement and the other patriarchs discussed and decided to relocate some civilians and small families to the Feather Land of the West and the Ocean Land of the East.
Then, the two pieces of land would be open to the other families to fight for. In this way, there would be more and more families.
The emergence of new families would be a challenge to the Lu Family, Ye Family, Kong Family, and Jiang Family.
Maybe in hundreds or thousands of years, the four families would be wiped out.
That being said, this was good news for the Heaven Reverse Universe, especially when the Heaven Reverse Universe could go to the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos to cultivate.
The Heaven Reverse Universe could produce more powerful warriors. Lu Family, Ye Family, Jiang Family, and Kong Family would be challenged and pressured.
In this way, the future generations of the four families would be forced to work hard or else they would be wiped out.
If a super clan didn't have any pressure, the clan's disciples would slack off, become arrogant, and continue to decay.
When most of the disciples of a super family were corrupted, the family would be like a mountain riddled with holes. Any external force could bring the family down.
It was like an empire. If all the officials were corrupted and didn't care about the lives of the civilians, and the soldiers didn't want to fight but to amass money and have fun.
An invasion by an army of such an empire could destroy the empire.
By the same logic, if the disciples of the Lu Family only knew to enjoy themselves, to be arrogant, domineering, and to make enemies everywhere …
For a short period of time, the Lu Family might be able to suppress the enemies. But what about when those old guys died?
The rest would be good-for-nothings. Even if the Lu Family still had some powerful warriors, they would be wiped out by the other families.
Lu Li would ascend to the Immortal World soon!
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was aware of this, which was why he felt threatened.
Lu Li had made too many enemies on his way to rise. Even if Lu Li could wipe out all his enemies before he ascended to the Immortal World, those families would rise again in dozens or hundreds of years. By then, what could the Lu Family rely on?
