Lu Li was still in that strange small world in the Ghost King Hall. He was still at the Deep Abyss Canyon. He had been cultivating for three years and still could not figure out a way to get across the canyon.
The three years were tough for Lu Li. For the first few months, he could not focus on cultivation and he would have to stop after a while.
All he could think about was how to get across the canyon. How could he cultivate when his mind was in a mess?
After more than half a year, he finally accepted his fate. He stopped thinking about other things and focused on cultivation, trying to improve his abilities.
Apart from improving his abilities to fight against energy in heaven and earth and sword formations, he knew he had no other way to get across the Deep Abyss Canyon.
Lu Li had been cultivating by the cliff for more than half a year but he did not make much progress. The Xuan Qi in heaven and earth was thin here.
The speed of cultivating divine energy was slow.
Learning Fundamental Principle?
It was not that easy to learn Fundamental Principle.
Apart from the improvement of his soul, Lu Li gained nothing.
A year later, Lu Li had an idea. He went back into the canyon.
It was not that he wanted to go back, but he had an idea — there was a powerful Soul Ripple in the valley. The dragon soul could consume the energy of the Soul Ripple. Lu Li wanted to see if the dragon soul could evolve after consuming the energy of the Soul Ripple for a while.
It was an unintentional action of his, but it had brought him endless benefits for the next one year or so!
He sat with his legs crossed in the depth of the canyon where the Desolation Waves were the most horrifying. Every second, the Desolation Waves would invade Lu Li's mind and then be consumed by the dragon soul.
The dragon soul did not evolve. After a while, it began to transmit a strange white energy into Lu Li's body.
The strange white energy divided into two parts when it entered Lu Li's body. One of them entered his pellet and was converted into divine energy.
The other went into the 720 acupoints in Lu Li's body and began to improve his physical strength.
After the dragon soul poured energy into him, Lu Li's body trembled violently. He was overjoyed.
He just wanted to see if the dragon soul could evolve.
Little did he know that by chance, he had opened a door to the heavens.
He sat in the depth of the canyon where the Desolation Waves were the most horrifying. There would be Desolation Waves coming at him almost every second.
The dragon soul kept on devouring the energy and turning it into white energy to enhance Lu Li's divine energy and physical strength.
This wasn't the first time the Dragon Soul had such an ability. It had appeared twice in the past!
The first time was when Lu Li consumed Soul Crystals, and the second time was in the Beast God Realm. The dragon soul absorbed all the Liquid of Dragons in the Pond of Dragons and poured in a large amount of white energy to strengthen Lu Li's body.
Later on, Lu Li had been trying to find something like the Liquid of Dragons, but he never found anything. Therefore, he had almost forgotten about it.
Now that the Dragon Soul had once again revealed its incredible abilities, Lu Li had learned a lot.
Every hour, the dragon soul would send a surge of energy to Lu Li to strengthen his divine energy and his physical body.
One year and 10 months. Lu Li had been cultivating in the valley for one year and 10 months, but he felt it was more vigorous than cultivating outside for 100 years.
Most importantly, not only was his divine power improving, but his physical body was also improving at a rapid pace. Furthermore, he didn't need to cultivate at all. The Dragon Soul was actively helping him cultivate …
In the beginning, Lu Li was bored here. Now, he felt comfortable here. He could cultivate here for 10 years or even 100 years without feeling bored.
Here, his divine energy and physical body were improving so fast. If he could cultivate here for 100 years, 1000 years or even 10,000 years, he didn't know how strong his divine energy would be and how strong his physical body would be.
For other warriors, the valley might be a dangerous place, but for Lu Li, it was a land of treasures for cultivation!
The physical body was the root, the soul was the origin, and divine energy was the source!
When one's physical body and divine energy were strengthened, one's offensive ability might not be improved by much. However, one's speed, defense, and reflexes would all soar.
Without abundant divine energy, even if Lu Li learned some powerful moves, he would not be able to use them to their fullest potential.
"Emperor Zi said that the Dragon Soul is a seventh rank Enchanted Soul?
What is a seventh rank Enchanted Soul?
What kind of treasure is this Dragon Soul? "
This was not the first time Lu Li had thought about this. The Dragon Soul was more powerful than any treasure he had ever seen. He even felt it was more powerful than the legendary holy grade Relics.
After three years of cultivation, Lu Li's divine energy and physical body had improved a lot. Even so, he didn't think he could cross the iron chain bridge.
If he wanted to cross the iron chain bridge solely by relying on divine energy and physical body, he would have to cultivate here for hundreds of years.
During the three years, he did not just sit here in a daze. He had been studying Killing Moves and Fundamental Meanings.
It was difficult to learn Fundamental Meanings. He didn't learn any new Fundamental Meanings. That being said, the Space Strangulation had been perfected and its power had increased by more than 50% …
"Not enough, far from enough!"
Even if the Space Strangulation could be 10 times more powerful, Lu Li still could not stand the force in heaven and earth on the iron chain bridge. He could not stand those horrifying sword formations with his defense.
That was to say, his three years of cultivation was of no use. It was of no help for him to cross the iron chain bridge.
"I must learn a strong defense Fundamental Meaning."
An idea came to Lu Li's mind. As long as he could learn a strong defense Fundamental Meaning, he could stand the force in heaven and earth, the sword formations and cross the iron chain bridge.
The thing was …
Fundamental Meaning was not something that could be learned at one's will. One must touch heaven and earth at a certain moment. One must be in harmony with heaven and earth from the depth of one's soul.
Therefore, Fundamental Meaning was particularly difficult to learn, not to mention a specific Fundamental Meaning.
"Touch?"
An idea came to Lu Li's mind. There were several places in the valley that could touch his soul. There were Taoist Meanings left by powerful warriors. If he was lucky, he could learn some powerful Fundamental Meanings from there.
However …
Those places were horrifying. If it were not for the immortal's body, Lu Li didn't know if he could make it here.
The feeling of his soul being dragged out by ghosts gave Lu Li chills just thinking about it.
What was more, Lu Li was sure that those palm prints, fist shadows, and sword marks were all illusions and traps.
What if the Taoist Meanings contained in them were fake and his soul was sucked in, destroyed.
"Fortune comes from danger!"
After a while, Lu Li made up his mind. The most important thing was that he had the immortal's body. If things went south, he could let the immortal's body take him away.
With this guarantee, he wouldn't suffer a crushing defeat. He still had a chance to survive.
What if those palm prints, fist shadows, and sword marks did contain Taoist Meanings?
Those palm prints, fist shadows, and sword marks were likely left by Ghost Kings. If they did contain Taoist Meanings, Lu Li would be rich.
