Lu Li stayed at the Huo Family. The Huo Family held several banquets. At first, it was the patriarchs of the Huo Family. Later, it was the younger generation that invited Lu Li.
All the younger generation of the Huo Family came in splendid attire. The young masters and young ladies of the Huo Family were very polite, even respectful.
How could the Family Patriarchs and Family Patriarchs be so polite?
The top young ladies of the Huo Family could not figure out why Lu Li, a warrior at the peak of the third tribulation, would be favored by Tian Yazi.
That mysterious progenitor warrior didn't even look at them.
The progenitor warrior was so arrogant that many patriarchs ignored him. How could he be friends with Lu Li?
This attracted the attention of many young ladies. Some of them even flirted with Lu Li in a subtle way. Maybe they wanted to use Lu Li to climb up in the family and gain more attention and resources.
Lu Li, on the other hand, was calm. Because of his relationship with Tian Yazi and the fact that the Huo Family was nice to him, he was nice to the Huo Family as well. He sincerely made friends with the younger generation.
The most outstanding young master and young lady of the Huo Family were both excellent. They had reached the later stage of the fifth tribulation and were less than 1000 years old.
Huo Yueyin, the most outstanding young lady of the Huo Family, was engaged to the future Family Patriarch of another super family.
Lu Li didn't hang out with the young ladies of the Huo Family. After enjoying himself for a couple of days, he went back to Tian Yazi's manor to cultivate.
He would always feel gloomy if he didn't see Lu Ling. He wouldn't be happy no matter what he did.
Tian Yazi had made arrangements. Now, he had to wait.
Seeing that Lu Li was ready to cultivate, Tian Yazi said after some thoughts, "Little Lu, you can try to go through the second Heaven Tribulation. Your realm is too low. It is not a good thing."
"Heaven Tribulation?"
Lu Li had never thought about it before. He was afraid that something might go wrong during the Tribulation of Mind and Soul. What was more, he was strong in all aspects. He could only rely on his physical strength and soul attacks. Therefore, he didn't care about his realm.
"I am afraid … I cannot!" Lu Li told the truth, "I have a strong inner demon. I am afraid something might go wrong."
"You have me. What are you afraid of?"
Tian Yazi rolled his eyes and said, "I'll personally protect you and give you some super divine herbs. Going through two heavenly tribulations will be a piece of cake.
However, for the fifth heavenly tribulation, you will have to rely on yourself. The previous heavenly tribulations are still very simple.
Of course … if you have an Emperor-level powerhouse to help you, you can easily overcome the fifth heavenly tribulation. "
"Oh?"
Lu Li was taken aback. He asked with curiosity, "Heaven's Tribulations can help?"
"Ordinary people can't, but I can!"
Tian Yazi said with a smile, "Have you forgotten that if I hadn't helped you in the Ice Demon Lair, something would have happened to you."
"Oh!"
Lu Li was excited. It was a good thing that he could survive the Heaven Tribulation. Every time he went through a Heaven Tribulation, his abilities could be improved. At the very least, his physical body could be transformed.
"You cultivate for a period of time first. I'll get someone to make arrangements!"
Tian Yazi waved his hand and left. He was grateful to Lu Li and they got along well. They were friends despite the difference in age.
Lu Li had made it to the Third Heaven from the mortal world and he had learned the Dragon Skill from Emperor Zi. Therefore, Tian Yazi had high hopes for Lu Li. Maybe, with proper training, Lu Li could become a black dragon and ascend to the ninth heaven.
Lu Li focused on cultivation, trying to forget about Lu Ling and settle his mind. A month later, Tian Yazi sent a message saying that everything was ready and Lu Li could go through the Heaven Tribulation at any time.
Lu Li stopped cultivating. Now that Tian Yazi was here, he had nothing to worry about.
He went to the Tribulation Platform with Tian Yazi. A big family like the Huo Family naturally had one.
The Huo Family's Tribulation Platform was more powerful. There were powerful Divine Patterns and formations inside that could weaken the power of the Heaven Tribulation.
Lu Li went up calmly and nodded to Tian Yazi.
Tian Yazi had someone activate the Divine Patterns to guide the Heaven Tribulation.
The first few levels of the Heaven Tribulation posed no pressure to Lu Li. His physical body was so strong that the flames and thunderbolts were like tickles to him. They couldn't hurt him.
The Tribulation of Demons of Mind was what worried Lu Li the most. But every time he was in danger, Tian Yazi would give him pellets and the thunderbolts that would explode in his soul would wake Lu Li up.
The Tribulation of Demons of Mind was more daunting than dangerous. The next Tribulation of Chaos was not difficult. An hour later, Lu Li successfully passed the third Heaven Tribulation and reached the third tribulation realm.
Even though he had passed the third tribulation, Lu Li's qi and energy didn't change much. He was still at the peak of the third tribulation, which surprised the onlookers.
Those who were observant noticed that it was the third Heaven Tribulation, which shocked them even more.
Lu Li used to be a warrior of the second tribulation?
How could a warrior of the second tribulation be so loved by Tian Yazi? Was Lu Li an illegitimate son of Tian Yazi?
"Little Lu, cultivate for a year or two. I think you can pass the fourth Heaven Tribulation right away!"
Tian Yazi nodded with satisfaction. After the fourth Heaven Tribulation, Lu Li's overall abilities would be improved.
If he could improve his soul, his comprehensive abilities would be comparable to a warrior of the fifth tribulation.
For the entire Third Heaven, the fifth tribulation was nothing. But Lu Li was still young.
Who could be sure of the future?
Once his comprehensive abilities could be comparable to a warrior of the sixth tribulation, he would be the most powerful warrior of the continent.
There were only so many Great Emperor Realm warriors. Lu Li might not reach the Great Emperor Realm in the end, but as long as he could fight a warrior of the sixth tribulation, he would be a powerful warrior that could look down upon others.
Whether Lu Li joined the Huo Family or not, the Huo Family would benefit from him.
Lu Li started closed-door cultivation as soon as he passed the third tribulation.
The Huo Family had taken actions. Now, it was up to Lu Ling to leave the Dragon Rebel Valley. If she could, then given Tian Yazi's abilities, it would not be difficult for him to meet Lu Ling.
Lu Li cultivated to stabilize his realm and studied the Heaven Armor Skill at the same time. He had only scratched the surface of this powerful skill. He could only build one layer of defense. If he could build three layers of defense, his defensive abilities would be greatly enhanced.
Time flew by. Soon, a year had passed.
The four forces were still fighting. That being said, the intensity of the fights had been reduced recently. The four forces might be in the mood to talk. The interests of the four families would be harmed if the fight went on.
Lu Li's realm was stable after a year of closed-door cultivation. He had reached the peak of the third tribulation in terms of divine energy, body and soul.
He planned to cultivate for another two or three years to reach the fourth tribulation directly. With Tian Yazi's help, it should not be difficult.
Lu Li had been in closed-door cultivation since he had not mastered the Heaven Armor Skill.
The Huo Family had quieted down as well. Many people had forgotten about Lu Li.
Tian Yazi had also been in seclusion this entire time. Those ten thousand years had taken a huge toll on his vital energy. If he wanted to replenish it, he would need at least a few years.
There had been no news from the Dragon Rebel Valley. Lu Li and Tian Yazi had to keep waiting.
Another two years had passed!
Finally, there was some movement from the Dragon Rebel Valley. It was not that Lu Ling had come out. Something big had happened that attracted all the powerful warriors of the Dragon Rebel Race.
