Along the way, Lu Li followed them from a distance. He was hundreds of miles away from the disciples of the three major sects so that he would not lose them or attract their attention.
Along the way, they ran into many wild beasts. For a moment, Lu Li thought he had left the Tomb of King Luna and arrived at the wilderness outside of the Divinity.
But the light here was always bright. The sun in the sky never moved, which proved that this was indeed a strange world.
The Xuan Qi in heaven and earth here was much thinner, not as rich as in the Divinity.
The disciples of the three major sects moved forward in a straight line. Lu Li wondered if they knew the way out.
Almost every hour, they would run into wild beasts. Sometimes, there would be more than a dozen, and sometimes, there would be more than thirty or forty.
Every time there were wild beasts, the disciples of Cabinet of Cloud and Pavilion of Misty Drizzle would take the lead. The disciples of the Palace of Snow Mountain were all females. If there were few wild beasts, they would not join the fight. They would just watch.
When men and women worked together, it was not tiring!
With dozens of beauties from the Palace of Snow Mountain and the Holy Princess on the Most Beautiful List watching, the young disciples of Cabinet of Cloud and Pavilion of Misty Drizzle were brave. They were like hot-blooded young men on steroids, unstoppable.
Ling Feidu, in particular, was so ferocious that he could take on one wild beast on his own.
In a few moves, he would kill a wild beast. Many female disciples of the Palace of Snow Mountain were enchanted by him.
On the other hand, Lou Shi 'er from Pavilion of Misty Drizzle was keeping a low profile. His attacks were simple and not effective.
Lou Shi 'er did not seem to have any interest in the Holy Princess of the Palace of Snow Mountain. Or … he was playing hard to get. Nobody could tell.
"Such a shame!"
Lu Li stayed behind, afraid to go closer. He could not observe carefully or else he could learn more.
After all, the disciples of the three transcendent forces all possessed profound Divine Skills. The true intents they comprehended would definitely be quite good. If he observed more battles, it would be of some help to him.
"What?"
All of a sudden, Lu Li saw two people sneaking around behind a hill on the left. He smiled after a few looks.
Wasn't he being sneaky himself?
The two must have the same idea as him. They were going to go with the disciples of the three major sects.
The two noticed Lu Li as well. But they only used psychic power to check. They did not come over to greet him. It was as if they would mind their own business.
Boom!
Another wild beast was slain. The warriors of the three major sects left. A moment later, Lu Li followed them.
The two people on the other side did the same, following the main group.
Just like that, they walked and stopped, and three days passed uneventfully.
During the past three days, Lu Li had lost count of the number of wild beasts killed by disciples of the three major sects. If not five hundred, then at least three or four hundred.
If it were not for the fact that Lu Li was following disciples of the three major sects, he would not have been able to travel so fast even if he could.
Even if he encountered a large number of desolate beasts, his life would be in danger.
The disciples of the Triple Deities Sect were very strong and efficient. They had only rested once in three days.
Those delicate women from the Snow God Palace were not afraid of tiredness at all. They ate dry rations along the way.
The number of people around Lu Li had increased from two to more than 60.
Many people had learned to be smart. Wasn't it better to follow behind the main group and walk leisurely?
Why was there a need to open a path for himself?
Anyway, there shouldn't be any treasures in this wasteland.
"How big is this wasteland?"
Lu Li was a bit worried. He believed this should be the easiest test. If they could not survive the wild beasts, then they could forget about the later levels.
King Luna would not allow a bunch of average immortals to get his treasures. To get his treasures, they must be better than others.
Fortunately, the ones following behind Lu Li were well-behaved. Nobody made any noise, for fear that the disciples of the three major sects would notice them. They all followed in silence.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Half a day later, they saw a large group of wild beasts. There were at least a thousand of them and they were gathered at the foot of a mountain.
"The exit of the first level!"
Someone shouted. Lu Li and the others' eyes glowed. They all saw the problem.
The wild beasts did not rush over as soon as they saw the humans. Instead, they stayed around the steep mountain.
Clearly, the wild beasts had received orders to guard the mountain.
In other words — there must be an entrance to the next level in the steep mountain.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
The disciples of the three major sects began to break out. Ling Feidu and Lou Shi 'er were in the vanguard, the girl from the Palace of Snow Mountain was in the middle, and those from Cabinet of Cloud and Pavilion of Misty Drizzle were on the outside. The more than one hundred people dashed into the wild beasts.
"Let's go ~"
One of the people in the group behind him shouted and rushed forward with more than ten people.
The disciples of the three major sects had torn a hole in the wild beasts' encirclement. Before the hole was closed, it was the best time for them to dash in.
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
Everyone else followed suit. Lu Li thought about it and decided to join the crowd. Otherwise, it would be too difficult for him to penetrate the barrier by himself.
Since so many people were dashing forward, it was a good chance for him to borrow their strength.
The disciples of the three major sects were tough. They had reached the top of the mountain. Lu Li could see a portal at the peak of the mountain. That must be the entrance to the next level.
"Bang!"
Lu Li took out his Relic weapon and hacked at a wild beast that was charging at him.
The blood-red ray of sword light smashed away that lion-shaped wild beast. There was a deep wound on its head.
"Eh?"
The ones around Lu Li were not happy that Lu Li had to go with them. However, when they saw Lu Li hurt a wild beast with one move, they said nothing. Lu Li's abilities had won their recognition.
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
Dozens of people dashed forward, releasing all kinds of attacks to fend off the wild beasts on both sides.
If it were not for the fact that the disciples of the three major sects had opened up a path, it would not have been so easy for them to go through.
"Faster, faster!"
Lu Li sped up, seeing that the wild beasts were coming at him from both sides. He hacked at the wild beasts with all his might. Rays of blood-red sword light knocked back the wild beasts one by one.
Luckily, the ones with Lu Li were all competent. They used skills to stop the wild beasts from getting closer. Soon, they went through the wild beasts and reached the top of the mountain.
However, some of them were unlucky. They were injured by the wild beasts and were surrounded by the wild beasts.
Needless to say, they would end up as food for the wild beasts.
"Phew, phew, let's go!"
Lu Li breathed in relief after he reached the top of the mountain. Without any hesitation, he followed the dozens of people to the top of the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, they thought they could enter the portal easily.
However, outside the portal stood more than one hundred people, staring at them coldly.
Lu Li and the others stopped. They looked at the one hundred people in front of them with anxiety.
Naturally, those people were from the three major sects. They were not here to welcome them. Clearly, they were not here with good intentions.
As they had expected …
