The Wicked Bead rolled toward the depth of the basin quietly. Lu Li was glad to see that almost all the wild beasts had flown out, except for a newborn one.
The newborn was only about ten feet in size. Its big eyes were filled with curiosity. It flapped its wings but could not fly up. It could only flop around in the basin.
The Wicked Bead's arrival caught the attention of the newborn. The newborn threw a glance at the Wicked Bead before it pounced over and slapped at the Wicked Bead with its paw.
Lu Li did not control the Wicked Bead to fight back. He let the Wicked Bead take its natural course and was knocked away. The Wicked Bead rolled under a boulder.
The newborn walked over and stared at the Wicked Bead. Seeing that the Wicked Bead was not moving anymore, the newborn shook its head and curled up nearby. Leaning against the boulder, the newborn fell asleep.
"Good!"
Lu Li secretly used psychic power and was overjoyed. The Wicked Bead was under the newborn. It should be the safest place.
Even if someone came to check, they would be distracted by the newborn. Nobody would notice the Wicked Bead.
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
Not long afterward, all the wild beasts came back. Lu Li checked and did not make any noise, fearing that the wild beasts would notice the Wicked Bead.
"Good!"
What delighted him was that none of the wild beasts looked at him when they came back. Only one of them glanced at the newborn and then left it alone.
"Phew, phew ~"
Lu Li observed for a while. Making sure that it was safe, he was relieved.
This was the best place to hide. He just had to wait for Commander Ye's pursuers to come and see if he could avoid detection.
According to his speculation, it was highly likely that he could avoid detection. After all, he was a nobody. Killing a prefecture warrior was not a big deal.
What was more, it was Commander Yi who wanted his life. She was not a commander or patriarch of the Vicissitude House. She did not have that much power. At best, she could buy over one or two prefecture warriors.
The bird-eyed man was killed. The other prefecture warriors would not be so desperate.
"Should I try to dissolve the fifth seal of the Wicked Bead?"
Lu Li had an idea. He could have dissolved the fifth seal of the Wicked Bead after he became an immortal. But he never had the time.
Now that everything was fine and safe, he naturally had to refine it as soon as possible.
There were six layers of seals in the Wicked Bead. With each layer, new abilities and skills would emerge. Lu Li was looking forward to it.
What else could the Wicked Bead bring him after the fifth seal was dissolved?
He poured divine energy into the Wicked Bead. The Wicked Bead glowed but it was weak. Since the Wicked Bead was under the Wicked Bead, the other wild beasts did not notice.
Of course, it was also because the desolate beasts had low intelligence. They were only especially sensitive to life auras.
The Wicked Bead was glaring. Wild beasts would not notice unless they saw it. Now that the Wicked Bead was suppressed, the other wild beasts would not notice.
Lu Li put his mind at ease after a while. He sped up the Wicked Bead and cultivated divine energy at the same time.
An hour later, Lu Li had gained some confidence.
Although he had divine power now, it would take some time to completely refine the fifth seal. It would take at least two or three months. Emperor Heng's seal was still very strong.
"What level was Emperor Heng at?
Did he seal his throne in the Nine Realms, or was it sealed after he came to the God Realm? "
Lu Li thought of something. In the Divinity, those that could be titled as emperors were the best!
Take Emperor Zi and the Slayer for example. If Emperor Heng was as strong as the Slayer and Emperor Zi, how could he have died so easily?
Lu Li believed that Emperor Heng was titled as an emperor in the mortal world. Warriors in the nine universes were used to calling him that. Emperor of Heaven Reverse, for example, was a matter of habit.
Emperor Heng was not strong, but he was not weak either. He must have reached the level of a mighty warrior in the Divinity. Otherwise, the seal would not be so strong.
Half a day later, Lu Li felt bored. He had to check the outside every now and then.
Therefore, he could not concentrate on studying the Fundamental Principle. Cultivating divine energy and taking control of the Wicked Bead did not require much attention. He only needed to cultivate and pour divine energy in mechanically.
"Let's read books on Inhibition Formations."
Lu Li teleported to that hall. While cultivating and pouring divine energy in, he took out a book and began to read with great interest.
Previously, he was not interested in such books. But recently, he was particularly interested.
In those books on Inhibition Formations, there were many truths in heaven and earth.
The paths of cultivation were interconnected. How could Inhibition Formations be created?
By imitating the laws of heaven and earth?
In the end, Inhibition Formations relied on the force of heaven and earth to attack or to release various skills.
This was no different from warriors learning Fundamental Principle and laws of heaven and earth. It was a different approach to achieve the same result.
Even though the books on Inhibition Formations did not help him learn the Fundamental Principle, Lu Li believed that in the future, it would be of great help.
Another thing was that after Lu Li finished reading all the books, he could figure out a way to forge Relics.
If he could forge high-quality Relics, not only would his abilities be improved, but he could also gain a vast amount of Divine Sources.
Without Divine Sources, Lu Li could not make any progress in the Divinity. If he had a large number of Divine Sources, not only could he ask the Space-time Office to send him back to the nine universes, but he could also buy over many warriors to help him find Lu Ling!
What surprised Lu Li was — it had been four days and no pursuers had caught up with him.
Theoretically speaking, the Beast of the Void was so fast that there should have been some pursuers here to check.
Lu Li didn't mind. He kept on reading while he continued to consume the Wicked Bead and cultivate divine energy.
After all, this was the best place for him to hide. If he was discovered here, then it would be fate. He planned to hide here for half a year and see where he should go.
"Whoosh ~"
"Woo, woo ~"
After another three days, there was a sonic boom from afar. Following that, all the desolate beasts in the area were alarmed. All the desolate beasts soared into the sky and headed towards the northwest.
"They are here!"
Lu Li stopped consuming the Wicked Bead at once. He used the Wicked Bead to check. He noticed that the little wild beast was alarmed as well. That being said, the little beast did not move. Instead, it raised its head and looked toward the northwest with curiosity.
Above the basin, there was a layer of dark fog. The dark fog was actually from the wild beasts, which blocked Lu Li's psychic power.
Lu Li did not dare to check at will. He had to listen to the noises outside to gauge the situation.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
There was a fight going on. Lu Li could hear the roars of the wild beasts. He could also hear warriors shouting.
He seemed to hear the words "clothes" and "Stone Golems". But he was too far away and the wild beasts were yelling. He could not hear them clearly.
"Well …"
After a while, Lu Li was relieved to hear that the noises of the battle were getting further away.
It seemed that the prefecture warriors did not want to fight the wild beasts to the death. They must have left after they found the Stone Golems and Blood Robe. Lu Li should be safe now.
"Wait —"
All of a sudden, Lu Li heard a noise. Then, the little wild beast was alarmed and roared into the sky.
