Half a year passed by in the blink of an eye.
Lu Li stayed in the palace and did not come out. Dan Jiudeng did not go in either. His vitality was damaged and he was advanced in age. Before he recovered, he would not dare to go in.
The Chen Family was losing patience. After all, this was not their business. They were purely here to help. The Chen Family had a lot to deal with. They could not stay here forever.
Dan Jiudeng understood this as well. He told the patriarchs of the Chen Family to leave.
The Chen Family showed mercy. Four patriarchs stayed and the one hundred thousand warriors stayed. Only the important patriarchs left.
As a matter of fact, with the Soul Chasers here, patriarchs or not, the Soul Chasers would be able to sense Lu Li's movements.
Dan Jiudeng would go as well. The Soul Chasers were impressive. They could sense Lu Li's movements from tens of millions of miles away.
Lu Li had been cultivating in the palace. His wounds had been healed and his vitality had been restored as well.
He didn't even pay attention to the outside world. He left everything to Blood Fairy.
He focused on consuming divine energy, cultivating the Dragon Reaching Skill, and studying the law of sound.
The Spinning Dragon technique was very difficult to cultivate, and the later stages, especially the latter half, were even more difficult. After all, this was a heaven-defying divine technique created by the Violet Sovereign himself.
This kind of skill was particularly difficult to learn because everyone's experience and way of thinking were different.
Lu Li studied the Dragon Reaching Skill for a month but did not make much progress. He switched to the law of sound and another month later, he began to study the Dragon Reaching Skill, taking turns.
In this way, he would not feel tired and it would be easier to learn.
During the half a year, he consumed more than one hundred Miraculous Herbs. He made no progress with the Dragon Reaching Skill. He did make some progress with the law of sound, but it was still a long way off.
The law of sound was powerful. Back in the days, it caused a great disturbance at the Sea of Sound.
It was impossible to easily comprehend such a powerful Divine Sound Law. No matter how talented one was, they would still need time.
The consumption of many Miraculous Herbs had improved Lu Li's physical body. That being said, there was still a long way to go before he could cultivate a supreme body.
Back in the days, Emperor Zi was the strongest in the Third Plane. How many Third Plane warriors were there?
Relying on his physical body and several skills, Emperor Zi could defeat many emperors. How strong was his physical body?
If the Violet Emperor did not die, it was said that there was still hope for him to break through to the Saint Emperor realm!
Therefore, even though Lu Li's physical strength had been improving, he still had a long way to go to complete the Supreme Divine Body. According to the Crippled Zen Master, Lu Li was still at the first stage.
There were always three stages to the Supreme Divine Body. There would be a very obvious sign when one entered the second stage, and the lightning tribulation would fall on its own.
If one day, Lu Li was struck by lightning, then he would enter the second stage.
The third stage was even more terrifying. There would be godly punishment. According to what the Crippled Zen Old Man had said, when the Violet Emperor entered the third stage, a crater appeared in a radius of 10,000 miles around him.
The Crippled Zen Master didn't say what would happen to Lu Li when he achieved the supreme body. Lu Li had a long way to go.
The Crippled Zen Master did give Lu Li some guidance. He told Lu Li that if he wanted to have a supreme immortal body, he must not only rely on elixirs. He must go to many dangerous places to refine his body and undergo the refinement of heaven and earth.
Back then, the Violet Emperor had entered countless dangerous places before he finally achieved the Supreme God Physique.
Lu Li did not think too much about what happened next. As long as he could arrive at the Dragon Rebel Valley safely, meet Lu Ling, and take care of the Asmodian Lord, nothing else mattered to him.
Whether he could achieve the Supreme God Physique or not was not important.
Nothing happened outside, but Lu Li did not let his guard down. He believed that Dan Jiudeng would not wait like this. It was very likely that he would send a message back to his family and ask for reinforcements.
Lu Li stopped. After a day's sleep, he woke up and asked Blood Fairy, "How is it going?"
"Not yet!"
Blood Fairy replied, "This scroll is powerful, times more powerful than the horn. The ancient patterns are dozens of times more complicated as well. Master, don't worry.
Let me study the ancient patterns for a while. With the help of several treasures, it will be fast. I cannot tell how long it will take.
It will depend on the progress. It might take one or two years, or decades or centuries. "
"…"
Lu Li was speechless. If it were hundreds of years, what would be the use of the ancient treasures?
That being said, the scroll could still be used even though it had not been consumed.
Even one of Dan Jiudeng's treasures had been put into the scroll. Lu Li just did not know how to take it out.
If this picture scroll could store treasures, then it would be amazing. In the future, all of the enemy's Saint Weapon fragments and weapons could be stored in it. The enemy's combat strength would definitely be greatly reduced. Most importantly, the enemy would be caught unprepared.
"Blood Fairy, can you reach out with your real body?
Will it also become very weak? "
Lu Li asked. Blood Fairy answered, "I can. It will affect me a little. But my real body is a soul, so it will not affect me much.
It will affect me a little, but I will be fine as long as I don't stay here for too long. "
"Okay!
Don't consume it yet! "
Lu Li said, "Go and have a look around, an area with a radius of three hundred thousand miles. See if there is any place that can benefit us.
If there are lords from our enemies, we can run. "
"Okay!"
Blood Fairy snuck out from the body of the daughter of Saint King and went underground to check.
Lu Li did not want to check. After all, this was a ruin of a major sect. There were no treasures here, and there might not be any good places.
If there were treasures, they would have been taken away. It was said that a powerful warrior of the Great Emperor Realm once came here.
Blood Fairy went to check. Lu Li closed his eyes and continued to consume the elixirs.
Three days later, Blood Fairy returned. Her aura was a little weak, but it wasn't too much.
"Master!"
Blood Fairy replied, "I found two strange places. One of them is underground, and there should be treasures there. The runes are very powerful.
The other is formations of destruction. I cannot crack them yet. I think it will take me over a hundred years to crack them. "
"Eh?"
Lu Li was shocked. Blood Fairy was skilled in the study of patterns. She solved the patterns in the palace almost instantly. How could the ones underground be so powerful?
Blood Fairy explained, "It's not that the Divine Patterns are especially powerful. It's just that the Divine Patterns underground are not Death Divine Patterns but Living Divine Patterns. I feel that … there are tomb guards controlling the Divine Patterns underground. That's why it's so difficult to decipher them.
Maybe the tomb of a Master of a major sect is underground. I can sense some powerful energy in there. There must be treasures. "
"Well, never mind. Let him be!"
It would take a hundred years to crack the patterns. Lu Li could not wait that long, and Dan Jiudeng would not give him the time. Lu Li asked, "What about the other strange place?"
"A lake of blood and a sea of ghosts!"
Blood Fairy answered, "To the north, there is a lake filled with blood. I can sense many remnant souls at the bottom of the lake. That might be the core of the cursed land.
I do not dare to get close to the bottom of the lake. There must be many remnant souls in there. Many remnant souls have devoured each other. They must have mutated and become powerful souls. In the mortal world, they are called … malicious ghosts! "
"Malicious ghosts?"
Lu Li was surprised. Then, he laughed. Speaking of which, Specter in the Bead of Ghosts was a malicious ghost.
He could even control malicious ghosts to kill his enemies. Why should he be afraid of ghosts?
"Let's go and take a look!"
Lu Li had an idea. There were so many remnant souls and malicious ghosts in there. He could put Specter in. Maybe, Specter could become more powerful after devouring them.
