The mountain was filled with runes. Blood Fairy built a plaza for Lu Li in the time for three incense sticks to burn, just as she did on the island.
Lu Li asked Blood Fairy to activate it. As soon as the plaza appeared, Lu Li's divine energy was suppressed. Just like before, he could not use any divine energy.
He walked around. Blood Fairy's runes could only cover an area with a radius of two miles. To the west of the mountain, those outside the range would not be affected.
"Okay!"
Two miles was enough for Lu Li to move around. If someone were to launch long-range attacks, he could dodge.
After a moment's thought, he tossed the seal into the Sacred Mountain and let Blood Fairy examine it while he wandered around the area to see if he could find a way to break it.
The runes on the mountain were too strong. Not even Blood Fairy could do anything. Lu Li had to figure it out himself.
His physical body was strong enough to withstand strong gravity. Even so, he could only go up to one thousand feet.
He believed that if Young Master Qin and the others did not have any special methods, they could only go up to one thousand feet.
"Should I try using the mountain?"
Lu Li took out the mountain and dashed in.
The mountain was a piece of artifact, but it was incomplete. Even so, the runes in it must be strong. Maybe, it could withstand the pressure.
"Whoosh!"
The mountain flew up slowly. Lu Li did not dare to go too fast, in case the mountain was crushed.
As they went up, the mountain slowed down. Little Six sent Lu Li a message. The mountain was suppressed by a mysterious force.
One thousand feet!
The mountain did not slow down. Lu Li had a glimmer of hope. Maybe, the mountain could fly up.
Two miles!
The mountain slowed down. Lu Li's mind was weighed down. It would be amazing if the mountain could reach two or three miles.
Only when the mountain reached two miles did Little Six send Lu Li a message — the pressure on the mountain was too great. They could not go up or else it would collapse.
"This mountain is tens of thousands of feet high. We are not even halfway to the mountain!"
Lu Li told the mountain to fly down while he thought to himself. It seemed that treasures could be used to withstand the force field of the mountain. That being said, even if Young Master Qin and the others were to use treasures, they would not be able to go up, let alone bring a group of people up.
"It can't be a dead end."
The elders of the great families of the Immortal Palace must have come here before. Otherwise, they would not be so assured to let their disciples come here. There should be a way out here.
Lu Li stepped back and pushed into the "Apotheosis of Gods Dojo". This name was given by Lu Li. Obviously, it was a dojo for sealing divine energy.
He dashed out of the divine mountain and looked at the rolling black mist below. He murmured in surprise, "Is the path to survival down there?"
Lu Li had been to many dangerous places before. Usually, there were many places where the path to survival was a dead end.
But Lu Li did not dare to try. He sat quietly, waiting for Blood Fairy's result.
"Master!"
An hour later, Blood Fairy's voice came through. "This seal is similar to the beads from before, but the divine glyphs inside are more complicated. To control it, you'll need to learn a special way to activate the glyphs inside. Only then will you be able to control it."
"Yes!" Lu Li had expected this. He nodded and asked, "How long do you need to crack it?"
"At least a month!"
Lu Li was not surprised by Blood Fairy's reply. Blood Fairy's mastery of the divine glyphs was not good enough. She needed time to learn them.
"Okay. Don't worry about the bead for now. Help me crack the divine glyphs on the seal."
Lu Li ordered. The seal was a piece of artifact with miraculous powers. Cracking it would be helpful for Lu Li to leave the Palace of Immortal Palace.
While Blood Fairy was focused on the divine glyphs, Lu Li was struggling. He wanted to consume that drop of blood.
If he could refine it, his physical body would definitely improve tremendously.
However, the drop of blood was so powerful. Who could say if something unexpected would happen?
Young Master Fu could come at any time. If he passed out, he could be killed.
"Never mind. I'll take it when I get out!"
Lu Li suppressed his thoughts. Back in the Heaven Reverse Universe, he had consumed several drops of blood and awakened Bloodline Skills. But he passed out.
The blood of immortal beasts was so powerful that he might pass out as well.
He had many elixirs with him. The thing was, he did not know the properties of the elixirs. Naturally, he could not consume them at will. If something went wrong, he would be doomed eternally.
He had to sit there and wait for Young Master Qin and the others to come and see if they could find a way out.
Time moved on. Four days later, the peak at the south began to glow. More and more people came out. Soon, the south was bustling.
Lu Li opened his eyes while he was cultivating. Hundreds of people had come.
"That guy is here!"
A moment later, someone noticed him. Someone was sneaking over, probably to hunt for treasures. Lu Li's shout caught many people's attention.
Many people heard some noises. Then, psychic power came over.
"Eh …"
Young Master Qin and the others were surprised to see Lu Li sitting there. Some of them turned to the peak with solemn expressions.
Lu Li was sitting here with his legs crossed. But could they go up?
Some were secretly delighted. Lu Li did not go up, which meant that the treasures were not taken. They still had a chance.
More people showed killing intent. This was a spacious place and Lu Li was all by himself. Could they surround him and kill him?
Young Master Fu and the others had the most intense killing intent. They should all have top level elixirs with them. They had recovered in just a couple of days. None of them looked pale.
The three of them looked at Lu Li with fire in their eyes. They all had the urge to rush up and cut Lu Li into pieces.
"This mountain … we cannot go up!"
Someone had already made his way to the peak, trying to get the treasures there. However, he could not move after he was more than 1000 feet.
Young Master Qin and the others looked over. Someone did not believe it. He rushed up to the peak, but he could not move after he was more than 1000 feet.
"Let me try!"
A Young Master at the third tribulation rushed up. He was fast. In the blink of an eye, he was more than 1000 feet. But clearly, he had slowed down.
He moved on. When he was more than 1000 feet, he could not move anymore. However, a piece of black iron appeared in his hand.
The iron piece flew to his head, giving out rays of light. There was also a stream of airflow that enveloped him.
"Hoy!"
He roared and sped up again. After he was more than 1000 feet, he slowed down again.
He was sweating profusely. His blood vessels were popping out. His back was arched as if he was carrying a mountain on his back.
After he was more than 1000 feet, he turned around and rushed down with a roar.
It was easy to go up and down the mountain. He came down in an instant, panting. After a long time, he said, "There is a mysterious force field on the mountain. It is horrifying. I … cannot go up!"
"Eh …"
Young Master Qin and the others looked at each other. They looked more solemn. This man was not weaker than them. If he could only go more than 3000 feet, then Young Master Qin could only go more than 3000 or 4000 feet. The mountain was more than 1000 feet. How could they go up?
