For warriors at the Third Heaven, Saint Emperor had always been a mystery. It had been a long time since there was a Saint Emperor. The last one passed away over a million years ago. Since then, nobody had reached the Saint Emperor Realm.
A million years was a long time ago. Nobody had seen the last Saint Emperor. He was only recorded in the historical records of the major families.
That man did exist. His descendants were still at the Third Heaven, and there was a Saint Emperor in the family.
There were many pieces of Holy Weapon scattered in the world. It was proof that Saint Emperor did exist in the past. There were quite a few of them. Otherwise, how could there be so many?
Many families still had intact Holy Weapons.
How powerful were Saint Emperors?
Why were there so many Saint Emperors in the ancient times?
Why couldn't there be any Saint Emperor now?
Why were there so many pieces of Holy Weapon?
Could it be that many Saint Emperors were killed?
Why would those above the Fourth Heaven collapse?
What kind of earth-shattering event happened in this world in ancient times?
These were all shocking mysteries to the people of the present. No one knew, not even the ancient great clans were very clear about them.
For example, the Dragon Rebel Race had existed since the ancient times. But if you asked them what happened in the ancient times, they would not know either …
There is no smoke without fire!
It was said that this land of treasure was created by a Saint Emperor. There must be some basis for this and it was highly possible.
At least, that was what Lu Li thought when he came in.
When he came in, he found the world was misty. A sense of desolation permeated the air. Lu Li could only describe this world in one word — mysterious.
Lu Li could feel the mysterious air just by standing here. He tried to use psychic power but realized that it was suppressed. He could not use it. He had to rely on his eyes to see.
There was a faint mist all around. In this mystic realm, there was a faint purple light shining from above, turning all the mist purple. It gave people a dreamy feeling.
Lu Li didn't move. He was still invisible. He used the trace of Dao to sense the surroundings. There was nothing but purple mist.
"Where are those people?"
Lu Li tried to sense the spatial ripples around him. There was no sign of any. Nobody was around.
He was confused. He came in after the time for half an incense stick to burn. Did they leave as soon as they came in?
"Go!"
Lu Li picked a random direction and kept a low profile. He had been using the trace of the Great Path to sense the surroundings at all times. With the help of the trace of the Great Path, his senses were dozens of times keener. If someone was walking nearby, there would be a fluctuation in space, and Lu Li would be able to sense it at once.
Psychic power could not be used in the secret realm, which was to Lu Li's advantage. Not everyone was as perceptive as he was.
"Blood Fairy, go check to see if there's an illusory formation."
After a while, Lu Li told Blood Fairy to use her tentacles. If there was a formation of illusion here, then it would be a waste of time.
After a while, Blood Fairy answered, "Master, I did not sense any Divine Patterns. I don't think there is any Formation of Heaven and Earth."
"Alright!"
Lu Li nodded. Without the formation of illusion, things would be easier. They would be able to get out of the purple haze.
As he moved forward, he sensed his surroundings.
They had been walking for more than four hours. Lu Li was not slow, but he was still in the purple haze area.
He did not run into anyone along the way, which confused him. So many people had come in. Had they all vanished from the face of the earth?
Those powerful warriors must have entered the deepest part of the secret realm. But where was the deepest part of the secret realm?
Lu Li could not figure it out. It was said that the young man was exploring the outer area. How come he could not see anyone?
Lu Li pressed on. An hour later, the purple haze became weaker. Lu Li was cheered up. He checked to make sure that there was no one before he marched on.
Ahead of him was a valley with three bridges leading to three tunnels. Lu Li frowned. The three bridges looked the same and the three tunnels were winding. Lu Li could not tell where they led to.
"What?"
Lu Li noticed there was a piece of rock on the bridge in the middle. It must have been left behind by someone who went in.
The older generation would not do this. It must have been left behind by the young.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li was not here to hunt for treasures or fortunes. He was here purely to see Lu Ling.
Without any hesitation, he crossed the bridge in the middle and went after the young man.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
As soon as Lu Li set foot on the bridge, the sky above him suddenly trembled. Thunderbolts struck down, which startled Lu Li.
"Swish, swish ~"
Thunderbolts surrounded Lu Li. He sensed and was not afraid anymore. Strong as the thunderbolts were, they posed no threat to his physical strength. He could stand it easily.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Thunderbolts kept striking down. Lu Li did not mind at all. He passed all the thunderbolts and crossed the bridge.
Lu Li was not in a hurry. He asked Blood Fairy to scout ahead. If thunderbolts could appear on the bridge, then there must be some divine patterns on the path.
Blood Fairy probed for a moment and said with certainty, "Master, there are indeed Divine Glyphs on this road, and they are very strong ones. If Master is not in a hurry, I will take a closer look and see if I can avoid them easily."
"Okay!"
Lu Li was not in a hurry. Lu Ling and the others were the best of the young generation of the four forces. They all had their own skills and treasures. They should be fine in the periphery.
After half an hour, Blood Fairy said, "Master, there are no problems. Follow me, and you won't trigger the Divine Inscriptions. There should be a few checkpoints, but I can break them."
"Let's go!"
Blood Fairy was good to have. He did not have to worry too much about divine patterns. She could take care of them. Lu Li followed Blood Fairy. They took turns and swerved. Every now and then, he would jump. Sometimes, he had to climb along the walls.
This Netherworld Path was very long, and there were many checkpoints in many places, blocking the way forward.
But Blood Fairy did it easily. Lu Li did not have to exert much effort to pass through the Path of Tranquility.
Gradually, the path became wider. A dark hall appeared. Lu Li used the trace of Dao to check. Suddenly, he felt his hair standing on end.
In the hall in front of Lu Li were 12 black coffins lined up neatly in three rows. There was yellow hair growing out of the black coffins. Lu Li could feel a surge of evil qi coming from the coffins from afar, sending chills down his spine.
"What kind of demons are sealed in the coffins?"
Lu Li squinted. On the coffins, there was a faint glow of divine patterns. The demons must have been sealed.
Otherwise, when Lu Li appeared here, the demons would have sensed the presence of humans and would have pounced on him.
Did the powerful warriors of the four forces come from here?
If they came in from here, why didn't they open the lid of the coffin to see what was going on?
Lu Li could not figure it out. He found this land of treasure more and more mysterious. Maybe, this was a place where Saint Emperor refined treasures.
