In order to get to the Demon King Stone, they had to leave the Cloud Mountain first. Lu Li and Uncle Li left the Crescent Peak in a low-key manner and went out from the surrounding hills. They thought it was better to avoid trouble, so they didn't make a big fuss.
The two of them walked to the northwest corner of Skycloud Mountain. Uncle Li took out a map and pointed to a small dot on it. He said, "This is the Demon King Mountain. The Demon King Stone is at the peak of the mountain. It is only a thousand miles away from us.
But do you see the white haze? There is a maze nearby so we have to walk step by step.
If everything goes well, we will only need the time for one incense stick to burn. Commander Yang's ambush must be in the white haze. "
"Why is there white haze?
Did someone set it up on purpose? "
Lu Li frowned. Under normal circumstances, they could cover the distance of three hundred miles in the time for a few breaths. Because of the white haze, the time was extended to the time for one incense stick to burn.
It was as if someone had set it up on purpose so that they could kill their enemies here.
"I don't think so!"
Uncle Li shook his head and said, "According to the warrior, the Mountain of Demon King is surrounded by white haze. It has been here for many years."
"If we can build a Teleportation Formation here and teleport to the Mountain of Demon King directly, we will be safe.
I think the warriors of the Mountain of Clouds are doing this on purpose … "
Lu Li was still confused. He felt like this was purposely set up so that it would be easier to assassinate him here.
He thought about it and said, "Uncle Li, take the mountain with you. If there are enemies, we will work together to kill them!"
Uncle Li's defense was much stronger than Lu Li's. Lu Li could hide in the mountain and launch sneak attacks at any time. Once the Worms of the Void entered the enemies' bodies, the rest would be easier.
"Okay!"
Uncle Li had the same idea. Lu Li went into the mountain. Uncle Li held the mountain in one hand and the iron rod in the other hand and rushed into the white haze.
As soon as they went in, Uncle Li checked around. What confused him and Lu Li was that everything was peaceful. Not only did they not see Commander Yang, but nothing out of the ordinary happened. They arrived at the Mountain of Demon King easily.
The Mountain of Demon King was steep. The entire mountain was shrouded in white haze, faintly visible.
There were warriors guarding at the foot of the mountain. When Lu Li teleported out, they took out their iron plates and jade talismans. The warrior checked them and waved his hand. "You can go up now. You only have one day.
You are not allowed to use force on the mountain, and you are not allowed to touch any of the restrictions on the mountain. Otherwise, you will be killed without exception. "
"Go!"
There was only one day in a year, so the two of them didn't dare to waste such an important opportunity. The Great Demon King was one of the top powerhouses in the 2nd Celestial Layer. The dao rhyme she left behind might be able to multiply their strength.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a narrow path that meandered upwards. The two of them scanned their surroundings with their Divine Telekinesis. Unfortunately, the white fog here suppressed the detection of their Divine Telekinesis, so they could only scan a few hundred meters away.
The two of them flew quickly. Although they did not reach their top speed, they were already halfway up the mountain in the blink of an eye.
At this point, the white fog was even thicker. They could only see the road under their feet and the endless cliff beside them.
"Eh?"
Lu Li suddenly stopped while he was running. He saw a protruding stone peak on the side of the road. A small tree could be vaguely seen on the stone peak.
The small tree caught Lu Li's attention because its needle-like leaves were covered in ice.
"What are you waiting for?"
Seeing that Lu Li had stopped, Uncle Li hurriedly said, "Let's go to the peak, to the Stone of Demon King. Time is precious!"
"Okay!"
Lu Li nodded and looked away. He continued to follow Uncle Li up.
That being said, all he could think about was that strange tree. He had a feeling — there was some kind of nature's rhythm in the tree. If he could study it, he might be able to learn something.
But there was one thing!
They were only halfway up the mountain while the Stone of Demon King was at the peak. The Stone of Demon King contained many powerful Dao rhymes.
Many people at the Cloud Mountain had learned powerful Fundamental Principles from the Stone of Demon King. His mind told him that he should go to the peak.
His time was precious. He only had one day in a year. If he wasted his time on the tree, he would have to wait for another year.
Also, even if he did learn a Fundamental Principle from the tree, who could tell what level it was?
On the off chance that it was a low level one, he would suffer a great loss.
"No —"
After the time for more than a dozen breaths, Lu Li suddenly stopped.
Determination was written all over his face as he said, "Uncle Li, go to the peak. I will go to the stone peak to study."
"Eh?"
Uncle Li was surprised. He said, "Don't be impulsive. If you miss this chance, you will have to wait for another year."
"It's okay. It's just one year!"
Lu Li smiled and waved his hand. He turned around and rushed down the mountain. He felt that if he missed this tree, he might not have another chance like this.
The Stone of Demon King would always be here. If it didn't work out, he could come back next year.
He sped up to the extreme and soon, he was halfway up the mountain. He stepped onto the stone carefully.
The stone was long. It protruded from the mountain for more than 300 feet, like the edge of a sword.
At the end of the protruding rock was a small tree. The small tree had needle-like leaves. At this moment, all the leaves were frozen, and ice olives hung down from the tree.
This was an ordinary scene. There was nothing special about it.
There was mist all around and the temperature was cold. It was normal for the leaves to be frozen.
There was nothing special about the stone, either. There were too many of them in the mountain.
Lu Li stood in the middle of the stone. He looked around and eventually, his eyes fell on the tree.
To be exact, his eyes fell on the needle-like leaves of the tree. He sensed something strange.
"Killing intent?
Yes … killing intent! "
Lu Li's eyes became misty. In his eyes, the leaves of the tree were no longer leaves, but sharp swords. The ice on the leaves was not ice either, but the sword energy outside the swords.
It was cold and the sword energy was horrifying!
He didn't even feel that the stone under his feet was a stone, but an invincible sword. There was a surge of killing intent everywhere. It was as if the killing intent was going to tear apart the sky and the void.
"There is indeed killing intent. But what does it mean?
What can I comprehend from this? "
Lu Li murmured. He closed his eyes slowly and entered the dreamland. He began to study carefully, hoping that he could learn something from the stone and the small tree.
He had a feeling that if he could learn something here, the power would be horrifying.
For him, it would be more helpful than the powerful Fundamental Principle he learned from the Stone of Demon King.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle ~"
What Lu Li didn't know was that a pretty girl in green walked up from the path behind him.
It was the beautiful girl he met by the river at the Green Moon Peak, the one who cheated him of his Divine Origin Gold and called him a fool …
