It only took Lu Li seven days to return to the Earth Imperial Universe. Like a hero returning in triumph, he was welcomed by many.
In addition to those from the Heaven Reverse Universe, warriors from the nine universes and the surviving families of the Earth Imperial Universe were here as well.
Standing with an immortal at such a close distance was a chance for them to be blessed with divinity.
Many young people were waiting outside the City of Great Land. To be able to see an immortal was something to boast about in the future.
There were immortals in the nine universes. Even smaller universes nearby, such as the Waters Region, had produced immortals.
But Lu Li was the youngest one. It was unprecedented, if not unprecedented.
What was more, Lu Li had done something that no one had ever done before — he had conquered the Relic City before he became an immortal.
Many people thought highly of Lu Li. Many people were certain that Lu Li would achieve more than Yan Tiangang and that he would come back with glory!
Of course …
Others snorted. They believed that Lu Li would be killed as soon as he went to the Divinity because he had offended Yan Tiangang.
Yan Tiangang was a mighty warrior in the Divinity, a patriarch of the Black Dragon Mansion, one of the top 10 forces at southern Divinity.
As far as many people were concerned, patriarchs were the leaders of different forces. Patriarchs of families in the nine universes were all leaders.
The Black Dragon Mansion was one of the top 10 forces at southern Divinity. How could Lu Li escape from Yan Tiangang?
It was like a warrior from the Waters Region coming to the Earth Imperial Universe.
This warrior had offended a patriarch of one of the top 10 forces at southern Earth Imperial Universe. Could this warrior live in peace in the Earth Imperial Universe?
As a matter of fact …
Those people did not know that Lu Li had not only offended one immortal, but also God of Barbarian, God of Sorcerer and God of Wings. In particular, Lu Li hated God of Wings.
If God of Wings knew that Lu Li had gone to the Divinity, she would try everything to hunt him down.
Lu Li didn't think too much about it. He accepted the congratulations and attended the banquet with everyone who came to congratulate him.
The Lu Family had prepared hundreds of tables. Every Family Patriarch had a seat.
Lu Li was approachable. Maybe, at this stage, he was no longer on the same level as the others. There was no need to put on airs.
Just by sitting there, he was enough for everyone to look up to him.
Seeing Lu Li talking to the Family Patriarchs of the nine universes with a smile, Lu Renhuang exclaimed to himself that Lu Li knew how to conduct himself.
Lu Li was about to ascend to the Immortal Realm. If he were to make enemies with the other families, it would bring endless troubles to the Lu Family.
And with him being so gentle, the various family heads would be flattered, and their jealousy and hatred towards the Lu Clan would lessen a little. This would be beneficial to the development of the Lu Clan in the future.
Making enemies with the entire world sounded awesome, but in fact, it was very easy to destroy them.
Many ants could bite an elephant to death. If the Lu Clan made enemies everywhere, it would be hard for them to escape the fate of destruction.
Lu Li would not propose a toast, but he would take a sip from anyone that came. Many warriors were thrilled.
Drinking with a deity was something that he could brag about for the rest of his life.
They drank from noon to the evening. Lu Li had built a good relationship with the Lu Family.
At the end of the banquet, Lu Li disconnected the spiritual connection between the Relic armor and weapon and handed them to Lu Renhuang in front of everyone.
Lu Renhuang was stunned. Lu Li explained with a smile. His physical body was no weaker than when he was wearing the Relic armor.
He had no use for this Divine Weapon and Divine Armor, so he gave it to the Lu Clan to use as a clan protection treasure.
Many people were envious, and they admired Lu Li's cleverness.
By giving the Relic armor and weapon to Lu Renhuang in front of everyone, Lu Li was telling the other families of the nine universes that they should not have any ideas about the Lu Family. Otherwise, Lu Renhuang could destroy any family with the Relic armor and the Divinity!
How could the Yan Family remain at the peak of the nine universes?
It was because they had the city and the Relic armor and weapon. The city could ensure the Yan Family's survival, and the Relic armor and weapon were weapons of attack.
Any warrior at the peak of the Semi-God Realm could dominate the nine universes with the Relic armor and kill most powerful warriors with the Relic weapon. That was the absolute deterrent!
Using the carrot and stick, Lu Li's banquet had guaranteed the Lu Family at least one hundred years of peace.
The Lu Family was weak, but they had the Earth Imperial Universe. In one hundred years, the Lu Family could become one of the top families of the nine universes.
The night was quiet. The guests had left. Lu Li did not go to bed. He discussed with Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Lu Zhengyang, Lu Renhuang, and Great Grandfather Five until midnight.
After the discussion, Lu Li did not go to see Jiang Qiling and the others. He left with Lu Renhuang by himself.
He sped up and took Lu Renhuang to the Prison of Gold, the Prison of Water, and finally the Prison of Wood.
He did not want to go back and take a look before he ascended. He was here for the Dragon Demon.
The Dragon Demon was a creature from the Region of Doom. It was still young and had not fully grown up. It would take decades or even a hundred years for the Dragon Demon to reach the psychic level.
That being said …
Once the Dragon Demon could reach the psychic level, it would be as strong as an average immortal. It would be a piece of cake for the Dragon Demon to dominate the nine universes.
Lu Li brought Lu Renhuang back because he wanted to give the Dragon Demon to Lu Renhuang.
It was pointless for Lu Li to bring the Dragon Demon to the Divinity. The Dragon Demon would be of great use to the Lu Family. After decades or a hundred years, when the Dragon Demon became a Mythical Beast, it could protect the Lu Family forever.
For the sake of his family, friends, and family, Lu Li had racked his brains.
Lu Li disconnected the spiritual connection with the Dragon Demon, but the Dragon Demon did not even dare to move. The Dragon Demon was not intelligent, but it did know how powerful Lu Li was.
With Lu Li's help, the Dragon Demon and Lu Renhuang reached an agreement and became his spiritual beast.
This time, Lu Li could put his mind at ease. Blazing Huo had become Lu Renhuang's soul slave. Now, the only spiritual beast Lu Li had was the Deaf Taoist.
Well, there was Little White. But Little White was not contracted to Lu Li, so it was not his spiritual beast. To Lu Li, Little White was his younger brother.
"Let's go back!"
Lu Li did not go to the Heaven Reverse Universe after the Dragon Demon was taken care of. Time was running out.
He took Lu Renhuang back to the Earth Imperial Universe as fast as he could.
The round trip took more than 10 days. According to Lu Li's estimation, he had more than a month to spend with his family and his three wives.
As a matter of fact, Lu Li could go to the Forbidden Ground of Elder God. Maybe he could get the Relic weapon and armor left by Emperor Heng.
With the Relic armor, he would have something to rely on.
Given his current abilities, he should be able to survive the Inhibition Formations in the Forbidden Ground of Elder God and search for the treasures.
Eventually, Lu Li gave up after some consideration.
He had obtained the most valuable treasures left by Emperor Heng, the Wicked Bead and the Map of Fundamental Principle. He would leave the Relic weapon and armor to the destined ones.
More importantly, it would take him a month or two to go to the Forbidden Ground of Elder God, which might delay his ascension. In that case, he would have no time to spend with his three wives.
Compared to the treasures, Bai Qiuxue, Bai Xiashuang, and Jiang Qiling were more important to him.
Going to the Divinity meant that he would be crossing two realms. If his three wives could not ascend and he could not become a super mighty warrior in the Divinity, then he and his three wives would never see each other again.
His three wives understood this. They spent every day and night with Lu Li.
None of them talked about the Divinity or when Lu Li would go there.
