The nine universes were in turmoil. The Heaven Reverse Universe, on the other hand, had calmed down.
With Yan Zhen's death, Lu Li believed that the catastrophe was over.
Of course, he did not let his guard down. He asked He Yue to monitor everywhere. What if there were more powerful warriors of the Yan Family hiding?
Lu Li put away the Relic armor and weapon and Yan Zhen's Interspatial Ring. He asked He Yue to send a message to find someone to take care of the funeral while he went to a nearby city to tend to his wounds.
His injuries were not particularly serious. He was in low spirits and was physically and mentally exhausted.
Because of him, so many civilians were implicated. His heart was weighed down. He blamed himself and felt guilty.
His wounds were serious. He could think of nothing else. He hid in a small city to tend to his wounds and fell into a deep sleep.
Before he fell asleep, he gave an order to collect all the bodies of the deceased and bury them together.
Also, a monument was to be built. When the monument was built, he would bring Yan Zhen's head over to pay his respects.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement came out. Jiang Qiling and the twins came over when they were sure that it was safe.
They were Lu Li's wives and they knew him best. This was the most painful moment for Lu Li and he needed their comfort.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement took care of the funeral in person. Lu Zhengyang and the others teleported to the Clouds Plains.
Hu Lang was honored. Lu Zhengyang gave the Clouds Plains to Hu Lang in person. Hu Lang had done a great service and helped Lu Li a lot.
A large number of warriors were mobilized to collect the bodies, treat the wounded and the dying, settle down the surviving civilians, and deal with the aftermath.
Lu Li slept and woke up for seven to eight days. It was not because his wounds were serious, but because he was exhausted.
When he woke up, Jiang Qiling and the twins had come by super Teleportation Formation. They said nothing when they saw that Lu Li was in low spirits. They stayed with him in silence.
Lu Li did not feel happy even though he had acquired two Relics and killed powerful enemies. He stayed in the small city for half a month without seeing anyone.
Twenty days later, all of the corpses were collected and buried together. A Sacred Spirit Stele was built there.
Finally, Lu Li showed up. He was wearing a black robe. Together with Jiang Qiling and the twins, he bowed and kowtowed to the deceased civilians.
What was more … Lu Li even knelt down. Many others knelt down as well.
After he took out Yan Zhen's head, Lu Li went to the Holy Spirit Stele. Seeing the words of praise, Lu Li said with dissatisfaction, "Change these words. Make it clear that these people died because of me. Help me write an edict of self-reproach!"
"Uh …"
Many big shots were taken aback. Lu Li had gone too far.
Wasn't it just some civilians who died?
Which battle didn't result in deaths?
Not to mention, Lu Li had won this time. It wasn't a big deal to implicate some civilians.
It was good enough that they were buried in such a solemn way. Lu Li's declaration of his own crimes would leave a stain on the history books.
"What?
No one listens to my orders anymore? "
Seeing that no one moved, Lu Li turned to the side and said coldly. The patriarchs of the Lu Family hurried to move. They smoothed out the words and re-engraved them.
When all the words were done, Lu Li turned around, glanced at everyone and said, "Nobody can erase these words. This is to be a warning to future generations.
These people died because of me. I was too arrogant. At first, I thought that even if the Yan Family were to take action again, I would be able to deal with them easily. I didn't know that there is always someone better than you.
If … I had not learned something by luck and improved my abilities, I don't know how many more people of the Great Land would have died.
Don't call it the Holy Spirit Stele. Call it the Monument of Self-Reproach. It is a warning to future generations that they cannot be arrogant and underestimate their enemies! "
Everyone was silent. They bore Lu Li's words in mind.
As far as they were concerned, Lu Li had won a great victory. Not only did he kill four warriors at the peak of the Semi-God Realm, but he also killed the Family Patriarch of the Yan Family and took away two Relics.
However, they did not expect that Lu Li was so heavy-hearted that he issued a decree of self-reproach. He was a saint who cared about the common people and was benevolent.
Lu Li bowed to the graves again. Then, he raised his hand and swore, "I, Lu Li, swear to heaven that I will kill my way to the nine universes and wipe out the Yan Family to avenge you. If I break this oath, let me, Lu Li, fall into hell forever and never be reincarnated."
Lu Li's solemn vow and sonorous words moved many people nearby.
Many civilians gathered here. After all, the ones buried were civilians.
They all knelt to Lu Li. To them, the white-haired and black-robed man was no different from the Emperor of Heaven Reverse.
…
Lu Li didn't worry about anything else after he buried the civilians. He went back to the Prison of Wood with Jiang Qiling and the others.
He planned to spend some time with the three of them. At the same time, he would consume two Relics to enhance his abilities before he went to the nine universes.
He didn't study the Map of Fundamental Principle. It had been a long time. Clearly, he could not learn the Map of Fundamental Principle any time soon. Without the wind-related Fundamental Principle, he would not be able to become an immortal.
Now that he had mastered the Slayer's move and acquired two Relics, his abilities had increased. He was not in such a hurry to learn the Map of Fundamental Principle.
Also, he realized there was one thing he had not done, which was to dissolve the seal of the Wicked Bead. Now that he had reached the Semi-God Realm, he could dissolve a new seal of the Wicked Bead.
He had been in a hurry to learn the Map of Fundamental Principle and had forgotten about it.
He almost forgot about the Bead of Wood as well. He didn't even use it this time …
Therefore, he decided not to think about integrating the Map of Fundamental Principle. He wanted to concentrate on the Slayer's move and stabilize it.
He believed that if he could reach a high level of the Slayer's move, he could also become an immortal.
"Well … ice, wind, darkness, and Soul of Thunder. As a matter of fact, I can go to the Prison of Wind. Maybe, it will be easier for me to integrate the wind-related Fundamental Principle there."
Lu Li remembered that Lu Renhuang's cultivation speed was much faster in the Prison of Ice. It was said that he had reached the Semi-God Realm a long time ago and was about to make another breakthrough.
If Lu Li went to the Prison of Wind, it might be easier for him to be inspired and learn the Map of Fundamental Principle.
"Okay, it is decided!"
Lu Li made up his mind. He would spend some time to take control of the Relic armor and weapon. After that, he would dissolve the new seal of the Wicked Bead. Then, he would go to the Prison of Gold.
If possible, he would go to the Divine Imperial Universe, break the Divine Imperial City and wipe out the Yan Family.
If he could not break the Divine Imperial City, he would go to the Prison of Wind to see if he could integrate the Map of Fundamental Principle and become an immortal.
He did not go back to the Wicked Bead. He sat in the Valley of Cherry Blossoms to cultivate. The Xuan Energy he cultivated was divided into three parts, one for the Relic armor, one for the Relic weapon, and one for the Wicked Bead.
After a while, Lu Li felt more confident.
If Yan Zhen could take control of the Relic weapon and the Relic weapon, so could Lu Li. But the speed was slow.
He made a rough calculation. If he cultivated Xuan Energy without rest, it would take him one year to dissolve the seal of the Wicked Bead and eight or nine months for the two Relic weapons.
"One year!"
A glint of coldness rose in Lu Li's eyes. In a year, he could go to the Prison of Gold and find a way to conquer the nine universes. This time, he would turn the nine universes upside down.
…
