The mission was completed. Lu Li and Uncle Li waited on the island while Commander Yang went to patrol outside the island. He did not make trouble for Lu Li and the others.
By the time everyone finished their mission, it had been five or six days. Seven or eight of them had died. They must have been killed by powerful Three-star Beasts of Chaos.
The three captains teleported back with the others. Lu Li and Uncle Li went back to their own caves.
After this experience, they were even more determined to pass the first level of the Tower of Monsters and get the iron token. Otherwise, sooner or later, they would be killed by Commander Yang.
Commander Yang would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. This time, Lu Li and Uncle Li had forced him into such a difficult situation that they even killed their own people. Commander Yang would not let it go.
Now that he was a commander, Lu Li and Uncle Li could not do anything to him. What was more, he was strong. Lu Li and Uncle Li could not kill him instantly. Therefore, they had to get the iron token first.
When they came back, Lu Li and Uncle Li cultivated in the cave and did not go anywhere else. They would go to the Tower of Monsters at the beginning of the month.
Lu Li did not know what Fundamental Principle to learn from the Land of Illusion. He had to cultivate divine energy, consume soul-nurturing pellets, and recall the Fundamental Principles of Killing Moves he knew to see if he could improve them in some aspects.
"If only there were places with thunderbolts. Then I could improve my body.
Even if I was half as strong as Emperor Zi, I would be able to walk around the Second Heaven at will, not to mention Emperor Zi's level. "
Lu Li sorted out his thoughts. He believed there should be two steps in his cultivation — the first was to improve his body infinitely and the second was to find a way to make the Slayer's Ghost Chop have more turns.
With each turn, the power of the Slayer's Ghost Chop would be multiplied.
If it could reach the 10th turn, Lu Li believed that he could defeat the entire Second Heaven.
"Thunderbolts?
How is Little White? "
The thought of thunderbolts reminded Lu Li of Little White. He felt guilty.
He came to the Second Heaven in such a hurry that he did not even have time to find Little White.
Little White was in the midst of the thunderbolts. Lu Li did not dare to ask Ling Qingyan to go find it. Little White must be waiting for him to come back. But he left without saying goodbye. Little White must be devastated.
"Forget it. Little White will go down to the Divinity soon.
Whitey's defense is so strong that no one in the Divine World can hurt it. "
Lu Li shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He came to the Second Heaven because he had no other choice. Now that things had come to this, he couldn't care too much.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the start of the month.
Lu Li and Uncle Li didn't go to Chief Wang right away. They set off the next day, went to the castle and met Chief Wang.
"You're also going to the Yao-Sealing Tower?"
Chief Commander Wang glanced at Lu Li and said in a mocking tone. After a while, he could not help but remind Lu Li, "Young man, I advise you not to bite off more than you can chew. It is not easy for you to reach this realm. Don't lose your life."
Lu Li bowed and said, "Thank you for your warning, Chief Commander Wang. I insist."
If he didn't try, he would be killed by Commander Yang sooner or later. Uncle Li went to investigate the situation in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. As long as he didn't act rashly, even if he couldn't pass, there was a chance he could survive.
"Xiao Lu, go and make the arrangements!"
Chief Commander Wang waved his hand. A warrior took Lu Li and Uncle Li away but asked them to wait outside the castle.
More and more people came and they were all brought to Lu Li and Uncle Li to wait.
Many warriors glanced at Lu Li. They didn't say anything but they all grinned coldly. Clearly, they thought Lu Li was overestimating himself and courting death by going to the Yao-Sealing Tower.
Lu Li didn't mind others' looks. He waited quietly on the side.
After a full six hours, fifty to sixty people had gathered. That soldier finally waved his hand and said, "All of you, follow us. Take note … do not wander around on the road and do not use your Divine Perception. If you anger the Lords and get killed, don't blame me for not warning you."
The three warriors led the way and the others followed quickly. Nobody dared to fly. They went around one mountain after another.
Inside the mountain, Lu Li and Uncle Li didn't dare to use psychic power. They could only look around.
There were not too many people living in the mountain. Castles were built in the mountain.
Clearly, the treatment here was different from that of the people outside. For many warriors, where they lived didn't matter. That being said, the difference in strength and status brought about by the difference in power could be seen.
In the 18 mountains, the Xuan Qi in heaven and earth was much richer. The deeper they went, the richer the Xuan Qi was.
When Lu Li and Uncle Li saw a huge mountain that reached the clouds, the Xuan Qi in heaven and earth had reached an unbelievable level.
"It is said that the Xuan Qi at the peak of the mountain is as rich as the Primordial Realm!"
Lu Li finally had a firsthand experience. The Xuan Qi at the peak of the mountain should be at least a thousand times richer than outside.
The speed of cultivating divine energy up there was a thousand times faster than outside. This was indeed a mountain of fairy energy.
This mountain was very steep, and there was a winding mountain road that circled around it. This mountain felt like a terraced field, with layers upon layers of white fog surrounding it.
Looking from the distance, there were rows of castles or caves looming in and out of sight. There were people moving around.
Lu Li could see the hope in people's eyes. This was the real Cloud Mountain. To be able to live in this mountain would not only be beneficial for cultivation but also enjoy a high status.
Even a commander would have to salute them, not to mention these warriors.
"Tower of Demon Subduing!"
A tower at the foot of the mountain caught Lu Li's attention. This tower was strange. Not only was it not as tall or towering as Lu Li had imagined, but it was tilted!
The tower was old. It was covered in moss and mottled. It seemed to have gone through the passage of time and was in disrepair. It was crooked and could collapse at any time.
This tower did not look like a piece of treasure. If it were not for the fact that he knew this was the Tower of Demon Subduing, Lu Li would not believe that there were so many powerful demons in the tower.
There were people at the foot of the Tower of Demon Subduing, a large number, at least hundreds.
They gathered together but didn't intend to go into the tower. Some of them were sitting on the ground, which confused Lu Li.
They couldn't see what was going on in the tower from the outside. What was there to see?
The three warriors led the crowd toward the Tower of Demon Subduing. Many people were checking with psychic power.
Lu Li noticed that many psychic powers were locked on him. He was puzzled.
"Ha, ha, this punk is so weak and he dares to go to the Tower of Demon Subduing?
This is going to be fun. Do you think I should bet that he will die in one day or in three? "
"I think it is safe. Bet that he cannot pass the first level. The odds are not high but it is a sure win.
I am going to bet 100 Divine Origin Gold! "
"I will bet that he will die in one day. Small capital and big profits!"
Some people gathered together and began to discuss. Although their voices were very soft, Uncle Li heard them.
Seeing that Lu Li was confused, Uncle Li explained, "I think they have nothing better to do. Someone is betting on the life and death of the challenger and the others are here to place their bets."
"Oh?"
Lu Li was surprised. Then he grinned and said to Uncle Li, "Uncle Li, how about we go and have a bet as well? Let's bet all our Divine Sources that I can pass the first level?
At that time, it will really be a huge profit! "
Uncle Li rolled his eyes and said, "Are you sure?"
"No!"
