In addition to Hu Bugui, Lu Li heard from many others that they should give up on the path of the supreme immortal body.
This road was too difficult to walk, and there was not a good future.
Lu Li didn't pursue a distant future. All he wanted was to go to the Dragon Rebel Valley, meet Lu Ling and finish the task for the Demon.
Dominating the Third Heaven and becoming an emperor were things that Lu Li never dared to think about.
What was more, so what if he could become an emperor?
Wasn't it just a matter of owning a large territory and obtaining more resources?
He might as well go back to the Second Heaven and live a comfortable life.
No promising future?
How many years had Hu Bugui been cultivating?
What realm had he cultivated to?
He was just at the later stage of the Fourth Tribulation Realm.
Was cultivating Fundamental Principle really that powerful?
I don't think so …
Back at his own manor, Lu Li didn't step out. He cultivated all day long.
He hadn't mastered the Dragon Manipulation Skill yet. This was an incredible skill. If he could master it, his physical strength could be improved by 10 times in a short time. That would be very powerful.
Also, this skill could improve his physical strength by 10 times. If his physical strength could be improved to the later stage of the Fourth Tribulation Realm, his Dragon Manipulation Skill could be improved by 10 times as well.
Five days later, the leader of the Division of Internal Affairs sent over all kinds of elixirs, including those for body cultivation, soul nourishment, divine energy and even those for detoxification and healing …
"This Immortal's son is useful after all!"
Lu Li nodded to himself. At least, there were many resources. What's more, they were not given at one time but at intervals.
If he went out for missions, he could claim some special resources.
Lu Li gave the leader of Internal Affairs all the elixirs for healing, detoxification and divine energy and asked him to exchange them for body strengthening elixirs. Lu Li kept the soul-nourishing elixirs for himself.
He didn't want to leave anytime soon. He wanted to improve his physical strength first and then master the Dragon Manipulation Skill. After a while, when things settled down and nobody paid attention to him, he would figure out a way to remove the Black Heaven Talisman.
As soon as the Black Heaven Talisman was removed, he would leave the Palace of Devils and the Sea of Devils. He would find a way to leave the Zi Yang Land and go to the Chilly Winter Land.
Now, he understood that it would be difficult for him to go to the Dragon Rebel Valley on his own. He would have to rely on a powerful family.
Yin Qingsi's family should not be too weak. If he could ask for her family's help, the difficulty of going to the Dragon Rebel Valley should be reduced.
Since Lu Li was in closed-door cultivation, nobody from the Palace of Rakshasa had come to him for the time being.
He had established his authority in the Hall of Elders, and Hu Bugui had also secretly sent word to those people to calm down and not find trouble with Lu Li. Those young masters and young ladies naturally kept a low profile.
Ever since Luo Feiyan came back, she hadn't seen Lu Li once, nor had she said anything.
However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he expressed a certain attitude – once was enough. Lu Li had proven something with his own strength. If he continued, Luo Feiyan would lose face, and she would get angry.
There was a huge commotion in Luosha Palace. A new Divine Son had arrived, and he was the fierce person who had kidnapped Su Yueqin in the Underworld Palace.
Furthermore, he had beaten up Zhang Ye in front of the Elder's Hall. How could such a big matter not attract attention?
Not only the Palace of Rakshasa, but the entire Rakshasa Sea was talking about it. The Palace of Rakshasa had made public that Lu Li had become the Holy Son of the Palace of Rakshasa.
Although the name Lu Li was unfamiliar, Lu Li's portrait had been circulated around.
Mu Wanping, Cui Wushuang and many other scouts had seen Lu Li. The news spread out and the entire Rakshasa Sea knew about it.
The Rakshasa Sea was in an uproar!
If it were just an average Chosen One, people would only pay attention to it. However, it was Lu Li. This was going to be interesting.
Slap, slap, slap ~
Everyone at the Rakshasa Sea seemed to have heard a silent slap. The Palace of Rakshasa was slapping the Underworld Palace in the face.
Lu Li used to be from the Underworld Palace. He made a scene in the Underworld Palace, took Meng Li hostage, killed two team leaders, captured Su Yueqin, and swaggered out of the Underworld Island.
Lu Li was a disgrace to the Underworld Palace. He had become the Holy Son of the Palace of Rakshasa. If he were just an average disciple, it wouldn't matter. But the position of Holy Son corresponded to Su Yueqin.
Su Yueqin killed a Holy Son of the Palace of Rakshasa but was captured by another one. It seemed to be a tie?
Actually, that was not the case. Lu Li had made too much of an impact this time. Eight patriarchs of the Hell Palace had died.
Lu Li used to be a nobody, but he had disgraced the Palace of Hell. As long as Lu Li was alive, the Palace of Hell would be disgraced. If Lu Li could live freely, the Palace of Hell would never be able to hold their heads up high.
Face was very important to large forces!
When the divine son of the Rakshasa Palace was killed, they immediately mobilized their army to fight a bloody battle, resulting in countless casualties. Why?
Wasn't it just to save face?
In the end, they did not win or lose, but at least they managed to save the reputation of the Devil Palace.
If a large force lost its face and reputation, it would cause the martial artists under its banner to be at a loss. It would also cause the other martial artists who wanted to join their force to shrink back.
Does it matter who I follow?
Why would they follow a force that couldn't even raise their heads in Devil Sea?
In the long run, it was estimated that the Underworld Palace would continue to decline. Therefore, the people of Rakshasa Sea believed that the Underworld Palace would take action to restore the reputation of the Underworld Palace.
A large-scale war would definitely not break out, because the Devil Palace and the Underworld Palace could not afford to fight.
If the war went on, both sides would suffer, which would benefit the Pavilion of Heaven and the Mu Family.
There would be a series of assassinations. It would be perfect if Lu Li could be assassinated.
As expected …
Half a month later, the Underworld Palace issued a statement — the Underworld Palace claimed that Lu Li was a traitor. The Devil Palace had taken in a traitor and appointed him as the divine son. This was the biggest provocation to the Underworld Palace.
The Underworld Palace demanded that the Devil Palace hand Lu Li over or they would have to face the consequences.
This kind of statement was meaningless. The Devil Palace didn't even pay attention to it. They just sent out a notice to deal with the matter.
The statement was nothing more than saying that Lu Li admired the Devil Palace and joined them willingly. The Palace Master didn't know about it and he valued talents so much that he made an exception to promote Lu Li.
The Palace Master also claimed that what happened to Lu Li had nothing to do with the Devil Palace. Now that Lu Li was the divine son of the Devil Palace, the Palace Master would defend Lu Li's dignity and hope that the Underworld Palace would not make a mistake.
This kind of war of words was meaningless. Warriors of the Devil Sea didn't mind. They were waiting to see what the Underworld Palace would do next and how the Devil Palace would fight back.
As everyone expected, the Underworld Palace quickly took action. They sent out a few experts to form a few assassination squads and began to assassinate some of the Rakshasa Palace's hidden strongholds. In a single night, over a dozen strongholds under the Rakshasa Palace's control were reduced to ruins, with countless casualties.
The Devil Palace was enraged. Five days later, they launched a counterattack. Dozens of strongholds of the Underworld Palace were wiped out. They killed many people and launched a bloody counterattack.
The two sides already had a big fight and the anger was still simmering. What happened to Lu Li became the fuse.
Peace would not be restored in a short time. Even though it wouldn't lead to a large-scale war, many people would be sacrificed due to the constant assassinations.
