Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
The Chamber of Relics was peaceful. Lu Li and Qian Huanhan were in closed-door cultivation. Even Lady Dan, who was always mischievous, was in closed-door cultivation.
Lady Dan was stimulated by the Competition of Craftsmen. Soon after she came back, she began to cultivate. She said that she must work harder and strive for the title of Craftsmen Master next time.
For Lu Li, three years felt like only several months. During the three years, apart from cultivating Xuan Energy and improving his soul, Lu Li spent all his time reading.
He had finished reading Tian Lingzi's book collection, and so had Elder Gu's book collection. Now, he had entered the library of God Tool Pavilion.
There were hundreds of thousands of books in the Chamber of Relics. Though Lu Li did not need to read most of them, they were enough for him to read for a long time.
During the three years, apart from reading books, he would study Fundamental Principles every now and then. Unfortunately, he did not make much progress.
Other than the real accident, he had comprehended two types of divine arts. One was to increase the speed of divine power cultivation, and the other was to cultivate the soul.
There were some skills in the library and some in combat. But Lu Li was not in the mood to study them.
After all, he could not leave the valley now. It was pointless to study those skills.
In addition, the divine arts in the library were not considered high level. The two divine arts he chose to cultivate were greatly beneficial to his divine power cultivation and soul enhancement.
Lu Li also made a Spirit Gathering Ball, which was formed by 10 large Spirit Gathering Formations. The Spirit Gathering Ball could increase the Xuan Energy in heaven and earth by hundreds of times. At the moment, the Xuan Energy on the second floor of the library had reached a horrifying level.
During this time, Lu Li often went into the Wicked Bead to study the body refinement skills in the Immortal's body.
Unfortunately, the formations in the Immortal's body were too intricate. Lu Li did not learn much after many attempts.
Blood Fairy had underestimated the intricacies of the formations in the Immortal's body. She should have gained complete control of the Immortal's body.
Later on, she realized that there were more formations in the Immortal's body.
There were more intricate formations in the Immortal's body. It would take a long time for Blood Fairy to gain complete control of the Immortal's body …
After becoming an immortal, Lu Li no longer had a sense of time. He used to be impatient. But now, he felt decades of cultivation would pass by in a blink of an eye.
Sometimes, when he was tired, he would unconsciously open the dusty memories in his mind. His mind would wander back to that distant place, a place that he would only appear in his dreams.
"Wait —"
Thinking of the Earth Imperial Universe again, Lu Li came to his senses.
Yan Tiangang, the Emperor of Heaven Reverse, could send an avatar to the mortal world. If Yan Tiangang could do the same, he could meet his three wives often.
He hurriedly walked down from the library and headed straight for Elder Gu's manor.
There were two disciples guarding and cleaning the library. Seeing Lu Li leaving in a hurry, the two of them looked at each other in confusion.
According to the rules of the library, Lu Li was not qualified to enter the library. However, he had the token of Dragon Xuesha. He could go directly to the second floor of the library and read all the books in the collection.
What was more, Long Yunhai and Lady Dan used to like to pick on Lu Li. During this time, they would avoid Lu Li whenever they saw him. As a result, Lu Li, an insignificant disciple, was treated like a dreadful monster.
There were many rumors in the Chamber of Relics. Some said that Lu Li was the illegitimate son of the Chief or that Lu Li had a special identity. All in all, Lu Li was shrouded in mystery. Many people could not understand him and were curious about him.
Lu Li went back to Patriarch Gu's manor and went directly to the back hall. Patriarch Gu was still thinking about improving the Thunder Trigger. Seeing Lu Li hurrying over, Patriarch Gu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is it?
Why the rush? "
Lu Li did not refuse. He poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip before he said, "Master, how can I descend to the lower universe?
I want to know more about my family. "
It had been years. Lu Li had no idea what was going on in the Earth Imperial Universe. What if Ling Wanjian sent someone to kill Jiang Qiling, Bai Qiuxue, Bai Xiashuang, and Lu Renhuang?
"Descending to the Lower Realm?"
Patriarch Gu blinked. After a while, he said, "This involves the energy of faith. To descend to the lower universe, you must borrow the energy of faith. The energy of faith is the bridge between the Divinity and the mortal world."
"The energy of faith?"
Lu Li remembered God of Barbarian and God of Sorcerer. Emperor of Heaven Reverse seemed to have acquired the energy of faith from the Heaven Reverse Universe. Lu Li frowned and said, "There should be people in the mortal world who worship me. I believe I have the energy of faith. But I do not know how to use it."
"As a matter of fact …"
Elder Gu pondered for a moment and shook his head. "I suggest that you don't use faith power or absorb it. It's a treacherous and unorthodox path.
Also, the energy of faith in one universe is too little to be meaningful. Unless you can have the energy of faith from tens of thousands of mortal worlds and hundreds of millions of people, only then can your abilities be enhanced.
But most of the energy of faith in the mortal world has been divided up. If you try to fight for it, you will be snatching food from the tiger's mouth. You will be killed by powerful warriors … "
"The energy of faith is a special kind of energy. It is not cultivated by oneself. Instead, it is fed on the energy of others to strengthen oneself.
Hundreds of millions, or even tens of billions of people will send energy to you day and night. In this way, you can enjoy the fruits of others' labor and grow stronger.
But … the energy of faith has a drawback, which is that the energy is mottled and chaotic.
After all, the energy of so many people is not pure. It is difficult to consume it. Accidents can happen. One wrong move and you will die. Therefore, cultivating the energy of faith is an unorthodox way … "
Patriarch Gu's explanation gave Lu Li a better understanding of the energy of faith. In the Divinity, many people cultivated with the energy of faith.
There were some supreme warriors in the Divinity who occupied the energy of faith from many universes. However, cultivating with the energy of faith had always been despised by the Divinity and regarded as an unorthodox way.
If Lu Li wanted to have an avatar go to the mortal world, he must cultivate the energy of faith. The energy of faith was the bridge between the Divinity and the mortal world. Without the energy of faith, how could an avatar go to the mortal world across such a long distance?
Cultivating the Power of Faith required a very long time. According to Elder Gu's description, if one cultivated the Power of Faith and received it, their soul would become impure in the future. This would have a huge impact on their future cultivation.
Unless Lu Li continued to rely on the energy of faith to fight for more mortal worlds, more believers, and more energy of faith, Lu Li would not be able to do so.
As far as Patriarch Gu knew, many mortal worlds were divided up by the supreme warriors in the Divinity. The mortal worlds were the source of their energy.
They would not allow anyone to take their territory. Anyone that dared to do so would fight to the death.
"Never mind ~"
Lu Li had to give up when he heard that the energy of faith could only be cultivated for decades.
It would take decades, and it would affect his future cultivation. This power of faith did not have much meaning.
Lu Li's passion was doused with cold water. He was frustrated. His eyes became misty. His mind drifted to the distant Earth Imperial Universe.
