"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
In a wilderness to the north of Mount Cloud, a man was flashing around like a ghost.
One moment, he would appear in this mountain, the next moment, he would appear in another mountain thousands of miles away, and the next moment, he would appear thousands of miles away to the left.
His footsteps continued to stride in the void. It was very mysterious. Every time he took a step, time seemed to freeze at that moment. The space also seemed to distort. His body suddenly disappeared from where he was and reappeared thousands of miles away.
Time and time again, he would teleport again and again. After six hours, Lu Li finally stopped.
He didn't look happy. Instead, his eyebrows were knitted together as if he had run into a problem.
It had been half a year since the Devil came back. Lu Li had been cultivating for half a year. He came out the day before yesterday and came here for the test.
The Happy Steps was amazing. He felt his current speed was incredible. But he still didn't think it was enough.
In other words …
He hadn't mastered the Happy Steps yet. He felt if he could master it, his speed could be increased by 10 times.
He didn't know what the problem was, but he felt something was missing.
He stood in the mountain, thinking with a frown. He recalled the test and compared it with what he had learned to find the problem.
He didn't know how fast a warrior at the peak of the third tribulation could be, but it must be faster than him.
He stood there for 10 days and learned nothing.
He thought about it but didn't find any problems. He had comprehended everything according to the secret manual of the Unfettered Steps. This was the limit of what he could comprehend now.
"I think I will have to meet the old man and ask him face to face."
Lu Li sighed and forced a smile.
He was fast now. Average warriors at the third tribulation couldn't catch up with him, unless they were at the later stage or the peak of the third tribulation.
There were many warriors at the third tribulation at the Second Heaven, but few at the later stage. Uncle Shan should be at the initial stage of the third tribulation and Patriarch Chen should be at the same stage.
Yu Qionghua should be at the later stage of the third tribulation and Fairy Tian Yun at the peak of the third tribulation.
Those at the peak of the third tribulation should be the leaders or the Chief Patriarchs of some forces. They were rare in the Second Heaven.
Normally, warriors at this level wouldn't come after a young man like him for no reason.
It would be humiliating.
Even if the Grand Master of the Hall of Black Flames knew where he was, he wouldn't come after him easily.
Therefore …
Now that he had left the Heavenly Devil Island, as long as he was careful, no one should be able to kill him.
Two and a half years to go. Lu Li was ready to leave the Omen Island to look for the marrow.
He could not enter the Primordial Mystic Land. It was too difficult to rely on lightning to strengthen his physical body. He could only search for such top-notch divine medicines to strengthen his physical body.
He had a dream in his heart, and that was to cultivate a peerless divine body. At that time, he would become an unkillable cockroach, and with the Unfettered Steps, he would be able to go anywhere in the world.
He took out the map that Old Shura had given him and the map of the second sky. After scanning it a few times, he found the location of the Spirit Marrow.
"Stormy Sea Region!"
Old Shura's map pointed to a rather famous sea region in the Second Heaven. This sea region was in the south-central part of the Second Heaven, and it was a bit far from where they were.
Based on Lu Li's previous speed, it would take him at least 10 years to get there in a straight line.
With his current speed, even if he flew in a straight line, it would probably take half a year, right?
There were five great powers in that sea region, and two of them were ranked in the top ten.
Most importantly, the Black Flame Hall was in that sea!
Lu Li was having a headache. If Old Shura could kill the Grand Master of the Black Flame Hall, then everything would be fine.
If he couldn't kill Lu Li, then once his identity was exposed, he would be walking into a trap.
There was another thing …
Flying in a straight line would take more than half a year. If there were any delays along the way, it would take him a year.
A round trip would take two years. Once something went wrong, he might not be able to make it back in time. By then, he would have broken his promise with Fairy Tian Yun.
Lu Li had always been a man of his word. He would do what he promised.
If he were to go to the Stormy Sea Region now, he might have to break his promise. If he didn't go, he would not be able to improve his abilities. How could he kill Yun Kaiyue in the fight of geniuses?
"Go back!"
After some thoughts, Lu Li decided to find Fairy Tian Yun and tell her about his problem. What if she had a solution?
He didn't dare to use the Unfettered Steps. He just ran back in a straight line.
This was a remote place, some distance from the Cloud Mountain. Lu Li arrived at the Cloud Mountain in four to six hours.
He found Patriarch Chen. An hour later, Lu Li was brought into the palace.
As soon as he entered the side chamber, Fairy Tian Yun's voice came, "Lu Li, you are leaving the Omen Island?"
"Fairy!"
Lu Li cupped his fists and said, "I want to go to the Stormy Sea Region. I know there is a place with marrow that can help me improve my body.
But it is too far away. If there are any delays along the way, I might not be able to make it back in two and a half years.
I want to ask you, apart from flying, is there any shortcut? "
"Shortcut?
Yes! "
Fairy Tian Yun replied, "If you know how to open a space gate, you can teleport there in one go.
You can also take the Teleportation Altar on the islands. It will save you more than half a year.
Of course, it will require a large amount of Divine Origin Gold and your identity will be exposed! "
"Sure!"
Lu Li didn't know what opening a space gate was. He did know about Teleportation Altars. Many islands had them, but they would require expensive Divine Origin Gold.
Lu Li gave all the Divine Origin Gold he had to Lady Yi. He only had a small amount of Divine Origin Gold on him. He got it from killing warriors of the Heaven Immortal Mountain.
"Whoosh ~"
Lu Li heard a noise. It was a bronze mask. He grabbed it and heard Fairy Tianyun's voice, "This is a mask I got a long time ago. There are some runes on it that can cover up your energy and looks.
Unless you run into a warrior at the peak of the third tribulation or a warrior with a strong soul, no one will be able to tell who you are. "
"Thank you, Fairy!"
Lu Li was overjoyed. With this mask, he could hide his identity. As long as he had Divine Origin Gold, he could take the Teleportation Altar again and again.
"Don't thank me so soon!"
Fairy Tian Yun paused for a moment and said, "I have a lot of Divine Origin Gold but I will not give you any of them.
It is a mess outside the Omen Island. Warriors are everywhere. The eight heavenly islands are in a war. If you want Divine Origin Gold, go get it yourself! "
"If you want to go out and explore, if you want to improve your abilities, you must go through the trials of blood and fire!"
Fairy Tian Yun's tone became cold, "I have given you enough. You will have to rely on yourself from now on.
I just want you to come back in two and a half years unless you die out there.
If you don't die and you don't come back in two and a half years, I will kill you myself! "
"Yes!"
Even though Fairy Tian Yun's tone was cold and she made it clear that she would kill him herself, Lu Li had no complaints.
Originally, he had an agreement with Fairy Tian Yun. Fairy Tian Yun had indeed given him enough, so he couldn't go back on his word.
"There are seven or eight old bastards cultivating in the Storm Area. Take this map. You cannot go to the places marked with red dots or you will die for sure!"
Another noise came. Lu Li took it over and saw it was a map.
He put it away after a glance, cupped his fists, thanked her and left.
"Storm Area, the Hall of Black Flames is in the Storm Area, right?"
