This was the most uncomfortable teleportation Lu Li had ever experienced. He felt his soul was being torn apart. His stomach was churning. Every pore on his body was uncomfortable.
He did not know how long he had been teleporting. It might have been a day or two at most. But he felt he had been teleporting for years. Every second and every minute was torturous.
"Bang ~"
Finally, he felt he had landed. His legs were weak. He dropped to his knees and began to vomit. His face was twisted. He was in great pain.
Long Yunhai, Lady Dan, Qian Huanhan, and the others felt sick as well. Their faces were ghastly pale. That being said, all of them managed to stand on their feet. They did not drop to their knees or throw up like Lu Li.
"Lu Li, are you okay?"
Qian Huanhan recovered after a while. He went over to help Lu Li. Patriarch Gu was worried but he could not show it.
"Hmm ~"
Lady Dan sneered at Lu Li, seeing how embarrassed he was.
Long Yunhai and Long Wentian did not show it but there was a hint of mockery in their eyes.
Long Xuesha stood there emotionlessly, waiting for Lu Li to recover.
After the time for half an incense stick to burn, Lu Li stopped vomiting. After the time for another incense stick to burn, Lu Li finally recovered a bit.
He was still pale. He staggered to his feet, cupped his fists, and said, "Guys, I am almost done. Sorry for wasting your time."
"Let's go!"
Long Xuesha waved his hand and led the others forward. Lu Li finally had the time to observe the surroundings.
They were at the foot of a huge mountain and they were walking toward it.
The mountain was shrouded in mist. Many sceneries could be vaguely seen. Lu Li could faintly see the buildings on the mountainside and the peak.
Qian Huanhan had never been to the City of Divinity. He asked Patriarch Gu with curiosity, "Master, is the City of Divinity at the peak?"
"Yes!"
Patriarch Gu answered with a straight face, "The City of Divinity is at the peak. But there is a fort below the city.
Later, you will have to stay at the fort. Only those who pass the preliminary test can enter the City of Divinity. "
"Test?"
Qian Huanhan and Lu Li were shocked. Qian Huanhan asked, "Master, what test?"
"Forging artifacts, of course!"
Long Yunhai explained on behalf of Patriarch Gu, "The City of Divinity is a holy land for forging artifacts. Only warriors on the list or artifact craftsmen are qualified to come here."
"Blacksmith?"
Lu Li was getting more and more upset. He had never forged a Relic before, so he could not become a craftsman. Did that mean he could not go to the City of Divinity?
Then how could he meet that "Lu Ling" and make sure if she was his sister?
"Don't worry!"
Patriarch Gu's voice suddenly came to Lu Li's mind, "You can be Qian Huanhan's servant and assist him in forging artifacts.
Qian Huanhan can refine divine artifacts. You can follow Qian Huanhan into the Craftsmen's Sect. "
Lu Li was slightly relieved. Long Yunhai continued, "Actually, there is not much point in entering the City of Gods. The real tournament is in the inner city. It is more difficult to enter the inner city …"
Lady Dan smiled proudly and said, "You can stay in the outer city if you can't. I can represent the Artifact Pavilion!"
Elder Gu glanced at the crowd and said, "It's enough for all of you to do your best. You are here to see the world, so don't cause trouble in the city. Otherwise, we won't be able to protect you."
As they spoke, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.
There was a huge winding mountain road here that was completely made of white jade. At the bottom of the mountain road, there were groups of soldiers in red armor guarding it.
"Lord Long, Lord Gu, greetings!"
A middle-aged man with strong energy among the warriors greeted Long Xuesha and Patriarch Gu from the distance. Clearly, he was an old acquaintance.
"Commander Feng!"
Long Xuesha forced a smile and exchanged some pleasantries. Patriarch Gu and the other patriarchs followed him.
That Commander Feng exchanged some pleasantries. Then, he turned to Lady Dan and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for years. Ruodan, you are more beautiful. Yunhai is nice as well."
"Thank you, Grandpa Feng!" Lady Dan knew Commander Feng. Long Yunhai came and bowed as well.
Lu Li, Qian Huanhan, and the others bowed. Long Xuesha exchanged some pleasantries again. Commander Feng asked one of his men to lead them up the mountain.
"Pay attention to the Inhibition Formations on this path!"
Patriarch Gu's voice came to Lu Li's mind again, "Do not underestimate this path. When the Inhibition Formations are activated, not even the super mighty warriors in the Divinity can go up. This path is called the Path of Supernatural Beings. Not even supernatural beings can go up!"
Lu Li was taken aback. He used psychic power to check. Sure enough, the road was filled with formations and lines. The Inhibition Formations were complicated and abstruse.
On both sides of the path were thick clouds. Lu Li could not see clearly. He believed that the entire mountain was filled with Inhibition Formations. Going around at random could lead to a tragic end.
Guided by the warriors of the Craftsmen's Sect, they climbed up the mountain in peace. Lu Li had been trying to sense the Inhibition Formations. Before he knew it, he had arrived at a city.
The mountain was halfway up the mountain. Looking up into the sky, Lu Li could vaguely see a corner of a larger city.
When they entered the city, they found it lively. People were coming and going. Powerful warriors could be seen everywhere.
"Brother Li, take them with you. We will go to the City of Craftsmen's Sect now."
Inside the city, Long Xuesha threw a glance to Lady Dan and the others. Then, he said solemnly, "Listen up. Violence is strictly forbidden in the city. Listen to Patriarch Li.
Anyone who causes trouble will be grounded for a thousand years. "
Patriarch Gu threw a glance to Qian Huanhan and Lu Li and said, "Do not cause trouble. If you do, you will die in vain. Do you understand?"
With that said, Patriarch Gu and the others left first. They must have important matters to attend to. They were not just here to accompany Lady Dan and the others.
One patriarch stayed with Lady Dan, Long Yunhai, Lu Li and the others. He asked, "Do you want to have some fun in the city or go directly to the City of Craftsmen's Sect?"
"Of course, to the City of Craftsmen's Sect. What can we do in a small city like this?" Lady Dan said with pride, "I am here to participate in the tournament. It is a waste of time to stay here."
Long Yunhai and the others echoed. Lu Li could not wait to go to the City of Craftsmen. Naturally, he would not hang around here.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Patriarch Li led them to a castle without any hesitation.
This castle was a place to test whether one was a craftsman or not. If one was not a warrior on the list, then one must prove that one was a craftsman before he could enter the City of Craftsmen.
Along the way, Lu Li had been looking around, hoping that he would be lucky enough to run into that "Lu Ling". If she were really his sister, then he wouldn't have to go to the City of Craftsmen.
Unfortunately, there were many people in the city and many young masters and young ladies in fancy clothes. Yet, he didn't see the one he was looking forward to.
Inside the castle, that patriarch talked to the chief steward and then came back and said to Lu Li and the others, "Go to a hall of forging artifacts. If you can make a Relic in two hours, you will pass the test. Then, you can go to the City of Craftsmen."
Lu Li knew that it would be difficult for him to make a Relic. Two hours was not enough.
Lu Li thought about it and said, "Patriarch Li, can I be Brother Qian Huanhan's servant?
I can assist Senior Brother in refining. "
"Servant?"
Lady Dan sneered, "You only deserve to be a servant. How about you kowtow to me three times and I will take you in as my servant. I will take you to the inner city to participate in the tournament of craftsmen."
"You?"
Lu Li raised his eyebrows, "You are not qualified. You are not as good as Brother Qian Huanhan."
Lady Dan was enraged. She glared at Lu Li. Patriarch Li threw her a glance. She suppressed her anger and said, "Okay, okay. Your Brother Qian Huanhan is good. Let's meet at the tournament of craftsmen.
Whoever cannot go to the inner city must kowtow to me. How about that? "
