On the fifth day after the Devil came back, Lu Li came out from cultivation.
It was not because he had mastered the Unfettered Steps, but because Patriarch Liu woke him up.
Fairy Tian Yun was back and wanted to see him.
On his way to the hall, Lu Li had been thinking about whether he should tell her about the Old Asura or not.
Later, Fairy Tian Yun would ask him about it. If he didn't, Fairy Tian Yun was nice to him. But if he did, he was afraid that the Old Asura would blame him.
In the hall, Lu Li turned into a side chamber. He still hadn't made up his mind. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Fairy Tian Yun. Congratulations on your victorious return!"
"Ha, ha!"
Fairy Tian Yun seemed to be in a good mood. She laughed and then asked, "Lu Li, I am glad that you can come back. The Palace of Demons is full of dangers."
Fairy Tian Yun didn't ask, but her meaning was clear. She wanted Lu Li to tell her about the situation in the Palace of Demons.
Lu Li puckered his lips, bowed and said, "Thank you, Fairy Maiden. I just got lucky and got out by chance.
Well … the patriarchs of the Heaven Measureless Mountain and the bald man are still trapped in the dungeon of the Palace of Demons. I am the only one that made it out. "
Lu Li still didn't tell her about the Old Asura. He didn't even go into details. He just gave a simple explanation.
Fairy Tian Yun didn't ask more questions. She said after a moment of silence, "The contest of geniuses will begin in three years. Are you confident that you can kill Yun Kaiyue?"
"Not yet!"
Lu Li couldn't kill a Three Trials Heaven God yet. The dark golden Worms of the Void were not enough. He thought about it and said, "But give me some more time. I think I will be able to do it. At least … Yun Kaiyue cannot kill me!"
"Well, go back to cultivation. There is something wrong with the Primordial Mystery Realm. I cannot go back any time soon!"
Fairy Tian Yun said with pity, "If you need anything else, just let Patriarch Chen know."
"Fairy Tian Yun!"
Lu Li didn't leave. Instead, he bowed and said, "Maybe in a couple of months, I will go out. Um … I will leave the Omen Island to seek some opportunities.
I promise you, I will be back in three years. I will not miss the contest of geniuses. "
"Okay!"
Fairy Tian Yun did not even think about it as she replied, "Just be careful outside. Yan Hong's scouts should not have retreated. Be careful not to get killed by the people of Black Flame Hall."
"Thank you, Fairy. I will be careful."
Lu Li bowed and left. As soon as he walked out, Patriarch Chen showed up. He patted Lu Li's shoulder with a smile and said, "Punk, not bad. You can walk out of the Palace of Demons. You are like a cat with nine lives."
"I was just lucky!"
Since Fairy Tian Yun didn't mention it, Lu Li didn't want to talk about Patriarch Chen, either.
Lu Li exchanged some conventional greetings with Patriarch Chen. Patriarch Chen wanted to get more information out of Lu Li, but Lu Li just brushed it off. He didn't tell Patriarch Chen the specifics of the Palace of Demons.
After chatting for a while, Elder Chen saw that he couldn't get any information out of Zhang Xuan, so he gave up.
Lu Li went back to his own castle. When he walked in, he found someone who had been missing for a long time – Lady Yi had returned.
"Such a coincidence?"
Lu Li looked at Lady Yi who was drinking tea leisurely in the room. Fairy Tian Yun had just come back and Lady Yi was here?
This young lady did not follow the army into battle.
"Can it be … that Lady Yi is Fairy Tian Yun?"
A bold idea came to Lu Li's mind. But soon, he dismissed it.
Lady Yi was too young. Fairy Tian Yun was a sister of the Demon King. She must have lived for tens of thousands of years, or even more than one hundred thousand years.
It was impossible for her to be so young.
"Eh?
She has reached the third tribulation! "
Lu Li was surprised again. He sensed the energy of the third tribulation on Lady Yi.
Lady Yi must be a top talent even at the Second Heaven if she had reached the third tribulation at such a young age.
"Ha, ha, Lu Li, why are you standing there in a daze?
Don't you recognize me? "
Lady Yi's eyes were curved into crescent moons. She was so playful that she looked like an elf.
This Lady Yi was a lady of all kinds. She could change her temperament at any time and she could control them with ease.
Lu Li hurried over, cupped his fists and said, "Congratulations, Lady Yi. You have reached the third tribulation at such a young age. I don't think there are many at the Second Heaven that can compete with you."
"There is one right in front of me."
Lady Yi had a cunning look in her eyes. She stared at Lu Li and said, "Lu Li, you can walk out from the Palace of Demons alone. You must be as powerful as a warrior at the later stage of the third tribulation, right?
As far as I know, average warriors at the third tribulation will die in the Palace of Demons. "
Lady Yi turned the tables on Lu Li. This man must be favored by Fairy Tian Yun. He knew everything.
Lu Li walked over with a bitter smile and said, "Do you think I am an immortal?
How can I improve so fast in such a short time?
I walked out by chance. My abilities have not improved by much. "
"Hmm!"
Lady Yi frowned. She glared at Lu Li and said, "Don't say it if you don't want to. Don't lie to me.
Chance?
Go to the Hall of Black Flame now and see if you are so lucky that you can come back safe and sound. "
"Ha, ha!"
Lu Li smiled awkwardly. He didn't answer. He changed the subject, "Lady Yi, have you been to the Third Heaven?
I thought you have to go to the Third Heaven to pass the third tribulation. "
"Who told you that you have to go to the Third Heaven?"
Lady Yi rolled her eyes. Her charm had turned into something else. After a pause, she explained, "There are more than a dozen places in the Second Heaven that have Platforms for Tribulation.
If you are powerful enough, you can even go to the fourth tribulation here. "
"Really?"
Lu Li was surprised. His eyes flickered as he asked, "You went through the Heavenly Tribulation alone?
When you made the breakthrough, the Demon King must have gone to battle with all the powerful warriors. You went alone without anyone to protect you? "
"I am not telling you!"
Lady Yi stood up angrily and said, "You have your secrets and I have mine.
You are so narrow-minded. Why should I tell you everything? I am leaving, I am leaving! "
Lady Yi became an unruly young lady. She stood up and walked out in strides. At the door, she turned around and said, "The contest of geniuses will be held in three years. Lu Li, you must work hard.
I heard that there are some talented geniuses from some major forces.
If your abilities don't improve, you will not survive the contest of geniuses! "
"Thank you, Lady Yi!"
Lu Li stood up and said with a smile, "I don't know if I can win the contest of geniuses or not, but I will not die!"
"Then I will wait and see."
Lady Yi flew away like a green cloud, leaving behind a pleasant smell in the room.
Lu Li wasn't in a hurry to cultivate. He sat in the hall and drank tea for more than two hours.
Three years could be a long time, but it could also be a short time. He could master the Happy Steps in half a year at most. By then, he would have a way to save his life.
If he could find the marrow, his defensive abilities would be improved as well.
"I wish I could go through the second tribulation!"
Lu Li sighed. He was still a First Tribulation Divine God. His realm was too low, which was his weakness.
But he knew himself. If he were to go through the second tribulation in his current state, he might be trapped in the Tribulation of Mind and Soul forever.
