Lu Li dashed out and took the Token of the Blood Emperor from the old man. Then, his Interspatial Ring glowed as another Token of the Blood Emperor appeared. Lu Li made a comparison. The two tokens were identical.
"What is your relationship with the Blood Emperor?"
Lu Li looked at the old man with curiosity. There was a trace of respect in his tone.
Lu Li had never met the Blood Emperor, but the latter had helped Lu Li a lot. Lu Li had borrowed the name of the Blood Emperor on many occasions. Though Lu Li did not acknowledge the Blood Emperor as his master, he was grateful and respectful.
"I am a servant of the Blood Emperor!"
The old man was at the peak of the Semi-God Realm, but he said with respect. He even bowed to Lu Li and said, "Lord Lu, the Blood Emperor said that he wanted to take you as his protégé. Unfortunately, fate makes fools of you.
Now, he is no longer qualified to take you as his protégé. That being said, he appreciates you and you can be good friends despite the difference in age. "
The Deaf Taoist nodded in agreement. Lu Li was his master now, and Lu Li was more powerful than the Deaf Taoist and Blazing Huo. How could the Blood Emperor be qualified to take Lu Li as his protégé?
The Deaf Taoist paused for a moment. Then, he flattered the Blood Emperor and said, "Blood Emperor has a good eye. But … it is an insult to him that he ranks third among the Purgatory's Top 10.
His true strength should be ranked first. This old Daoist still has this bit of insight. "
Lu Li had to respond to the Blood Emperor's compliment. He clasped his fists and said, "I am indebted to the Blood Emperor. Later, I will pay him a visit and thank him."
The old man took out a map and said, "My lord said that Blazing Huo should be hiding in an area nearby. This is his base camp. There is a natural formation here. Lord Lu, be careful."
The old man was hundreds of years older than Lu Li, but he addressed Lu Li as lord. Lu Li did not find it strange.
Lord was a title of respect. Anyone stronger than Lu Li could call him lord.
Then, Lu Li asked about where the Blood Emperor was cultivating in the Prison of Soul. The old man left.
Lu Li asked the Deaf Taoist, "Deaf Taoist, how come Blazing Huo can go to the Prison of Soul secretly?"
"I think he went from a small world!"
The Deaf Taoist thought about it and said, "I heard that there is a small world connected to the Prison of Darkness and the Prison of Soul. But I don't know the exact location.
Blazing Huo is very smart. He went to the Soul Prison quietly. If it weren't for the Blood Emperor's messenger, we would still be waiting here like idiots. Even if we went to the small worlds connected to the Dark Prison to investigate, we wouldn't know that he had gone to the Soul Prison quietly. "
"Go!"
The Blood Emperor would not lie. Lu Li was about to head toward the towering mountain without hesitation when the Deaf Taoist stopped him. "Lord, the Prison of Soul is dangerous. Not only are there many powerful Beasts of Primordial Chaos, but they can also carry out soul attacks.
Hmm … Milord has the protection of a powerful demon soul, so you shouldn't be afraid of soul attacks. But milord still has to be very, very careful. There are many places in the Soul Prison that even I don't dare to recklessly enter. Otherwise, my soul will be destroyed. "
"I know. You lead the way, I'll follow."
Lu Li nodded solemnly. He had the silver dragon mark, but it didn't mean that he could ignore any soul attack.
It was said that those below the peak of the Semi-God Realm would face certain death in the Prison of Soul. Not even warriors at the peak of the Semi-God Realm dared to go there. Those that could cultivate here were the most powerful warriors. At the very least … their souls must be strong.
The Prison of Soul was the ninth level of the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. After passing this level, they would arrive at the Prison of Thunder. In the Prison of Thunder, there was a path to heaven. Needless to say, the Prison of Soul was dangerous.
Lu Li followed the Deaf Taoist into the towering mountain. As soon as he stepped in, his eyes lit up.
Lu Li had been in the Prison of Darkness. It was pitch-dark. Seeing such a bright place, Lu Li closed his eyes at once.
"Buzzing!"
The Wicked Bead glowed as Lu Li went in. He said, "Deaf Taoist, lead the way. We know where Blazing Huo is. We don't have to be in a hurry. We must be careful."
The Wicked Bead was a powerful Relic. Inside the Wicked Bead, Lu Li did not have to worry about attacks from the outside.
Even soul attacks could not reach the people inside the Wicked Bead. Therefore, Lu Li was not worried about the safety of Lu Renhuang, Patriarch Ye, and He Yue.
"Okay!"
The Deaf Taoist did not transform, nor did he fly fast. Following the map given by the Blood Emperor, he flew to the left and used psychic power to check the surroundings in case something unexpected happened.
Lu Li used psychic power to check. He realized that psychic power was not restricted here.
The Prison of Soul might sound scary, but it was a nice view. The mountains were verdant, the water was clear, and the weather was pleasant. The Xuan Qi in heaven and earth was rich, much richer than in the Prison of Wood and Prison of Water.
"I don't see any danger."
Lu Li was hesitating. He had been flying for dozens of miles. All he could see were lush forests, beautiful rivers, green mountains, and many small beasts. So far, he had not seen any danger.
"Phew, phew ~"
A gust of wind came from the distance. The Deaf Taoist sensed it and flew to the left. He fell into a ravine and sat with his eyes closed.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Li did not let his guard down. He flew the Wicked Bead down and hid next to the Deaf Taoist.
The Deaf Taoist seemed to be in pain when the gust passed. But when the gust died down, he opened his eyes. His forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Is this Feather Wind with soul attacks?"
Lu Li did not suffer any attack when he was in the Wicked Bead. The Wicked Bead was not attacked either. Therefore, Lu Li asked out of curiosity.
"This is Ghastly Wind!"
The Deaf Taoist explained, "When the Ghastly Wind is over, anyone will fall into a horrifying illusion, as if they are in the underworld or purgatory. Those with weak souls will lose their minds directly.
The Ghastly Wind we saw just now is an average one in the Prison of Soul. If there is a larger Ghastly Wind, there may be Soul Biting Ants. Those ants do not have physical bodies. They can enter a warrior's soul directly and devour … the warrior's soul. "
"Eh!"
Lu Li was taken aback. Devouring souls directly? The Soul Biting Ants were freaky!
The most important thing for a warrior was the soul. Once the soul was devoured, not even immortals could save the warrior.
The Deaf Taoist rested for a while and flew on. An hour later, Lu Li saw an erotic scene — he saw a plump lady running around naked …
The lady did not seem to be old. She must have reached a powerful realm at a young age. She could maintain her youthful looks. Therefore, even though she was not young, there was no sign of aging. She was still attractive.
That lady was naked. She ran on the green hills and would jump into the river every now and then. She would laugh and roll around on the grasses, doing all kinds of disgusting things.
"She has lost her mind!"
The Deaf Taoist looked away and explained to Lu Li, "It is normal to run into lunatics in the Prison of Soul. Many people will lose their minds when their souls are damaged.
There is a strange phenomenon in the Prison of Soul. The Beasts of Primordial Chaos do not attack the lunatics. Many lunatics can survive. Over the years, there must be over a hundred lunatics in the Prison of Soul … "
"Over a hundred lunatics?"
Lu Li touched his nose in embarrassment. The Purgatory of Primordial Chaos was connected to the Divinity. Everyone wanted to go against nature and go to the Divinity.
What they didn't know was that this path was fraught with dangers. One careless move and they would be doomed eternally.
One step to become an immortal and one step to become a demon. There was only half a step between immortals and mortals.
