For half a month, Lu Li didn't step out of the tavern. He had been staying in the tavern, keeping a low profile.
During this time, not only could he understand all the languages, but he could also speak them. Even though his words were not perfect, he could communicate.
Lu Li called the young man from the tavern over and threw him two Interspatial Rings containing one million and ten million respectively.
Lu Li gave one million divine stones Interspatial Ring to the waiter and said with a smile, "I want to ask you some questions. If you can answer me, the 10 million divine stones are all yours!"
"Lord, go ahead. I will tell you everything."
The waiter was only at the initial stage of the fourth tribulation. Lu Li sensed that he was only at the peak of the fourth tribulation as well. Still, the waiter treated Lu Li politely.
Lu Li didn't ask some stupid questions, like how many continents there were in the Endless Ruins of Gods. Instead, he asked, "Is there anything significant happening around here?"
"Significant?"
The waiter pondered for a moment and said, "Recently, our Tianyang Dynasty has been very peaceful. The only major event seems to be a month ago. The Third Prince broke through to the Sixth Tribulation Realm and got engaged to the Sixth Princess of Flying Rainbow Dynasty."
"Tianyang Dynasty?
Flying Rainbow Dynasty? "
Lu Li remembered the two dynasties. He thought about it and said, "Right, go and get me a copy of the latest map, the most detailed one."
"I have the latest map here. Lord, I can give it to you directly."
The waiter took out a copy of the map and handed it to Lu Li with respect. Lu Li took it in his hand and put it away. He didn't show any emotion on his face, but inside, he was shocked.
This was because he casually glanced at the map and realized that it was densely packed with Dynasties. There were at least tens of thousands of them, and they were all Dynasties.
Also, the dynasties were not large. Lu Li looked at the map. Apart from a dozen dynasties that were relatively larger, the others were about the same size …
"Is it because the dynasties are small or the Endless Ruins of Gods is too vast?"
Lu Li thought about it. After a while, he put these thoughts aside and began to chat with the waiter.
Lu Li's questions were all over the place, but he was smart enough to ask them in a roundabout way. He didn't ask any direct questions.
He learned about the situation from the waiter's introduction.
After a while, the waiter was confused. He didn't know what Lu Li wanted to know.
Lu Li had learned a lot about the situation.
He handed the Space Ring to the waiter and let him leave.
Lu Li left the tavern and wandered around the city for a bit. Then he went to another tavern. First, he spent an hour looking at the map. Then, he found a waiter and asked other questions.
This time, it was much easier for him to ask questions. This was because he had some basic understanding of the Endless Divine Ruins. This way, he would not have to worry about revealing that he was not from here.
After more than two hours, Lu Li went from tavern to tavern with satisfaction. He would ask a waiter at each tavern.
At the fifth inn, he asked five waiters and spent about a hundred million Godstones. Basically, he got all the information he needed.
It wasn't that those empires were small, but that the Endless Ruins of Gods were huge, so huge that it was boundless!
There were tens of thousands of dynasties here, and each dynasty represented a super great sect. In other words, there were tens of thousands of great sects in this world.
The sects here were all powerful. Many of them had powerful Saint King Realm warriors. This place was chaotic as well. Big sects would often be destroyed and dynasties would change.
That being said, there were 18 dynasties that had been in existence for a million years. Those 18 sects were the most powerful ones in the Endless Ruins of Gods. They were ancient sects. Nobody dared to provoke them.
The Holy Lady Sect was one of them!
The Holy Lady Sect had been in existence for 1.3 million years. In the early years, it was almost destroyed many times. However, after a super powerful star appeared, the Holy Lady Sect became stronger.
The more she fought, the braver and stronger she became. In the end, she became the second most powerful warrior in the Endless Ruins of Gods and laid the foundation for the Holy Lady Sect.
More powerful warriors came from the Holy Lady Sect. Gradually, the Holy Lady Sect became one of the most powerful forces in the Endless Ruins of Gods. Many sects in the Endless Ruins of Gods dared not to provoke them.
From what Lu Li could gather, it was highly possible that Lu Ling and Xiang Linglong had been taken away by the Holy Lady Sect. This was not the first time they had done this. They did it often.
Some of them would wander around the Endless Ruins of Gods. They would try to take any talented girl into the Holy Lady Sect. If the girl was not willing, they would take her away by force.
Apart from the other 17 sects, the Holy Lady Sect would even take young ladies from major families as apprentices. If they liked them, they would take them away by force.
But they would not take them away to be prisoners or slaves. They would really take them as apprentices. The Holy Lady Sect would spend a lot of resources to train them.
The Holy Lady Sect was divided into the inner core and the outer core. The outer core disciples could marry and reproduce freely.
But the inner core disciples could not marry. They would be lonely for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, the reserve disciples of the Holy Lady Sect had always been an important matter. The Holy Lady Sect was not a family organization, and they never liked families. They had to find good young ones in the Endless Ruins of Gods to train.
The inner core disciples could not marry and they had to devote their lives to the Holy Lady Sect.
This was hard for many girls to accept. If it were not for the fact that they had been hurt by love, how could they endure the loneliness for the rest of their lives?
Who didn't want to have a beautiful love?
Who didn't want to have children?
Therefore, even though the Holy Lady Sect was strong, many girls were not willing to join the Holy Lady Sect, especially the top young ladies.
The talented ones were usually young ladies of major families. After all, dragons gave birth to dragons and phoenixes gave birth to phoenixes. The offspring of powerful warriors would have better talents.
Lu Li remembered that those people were wearing robes with crescent marks, which was the symbol of the Holy Lady Sect. Therefore, there was an 80% chance that Linglong and Lu Ling would be taken away by the Holy Lady Sect.
Also, the Holy Lady Sect was not far away. They were only separated by a dynasty.
"What to do?"
Lu Ling sat in the tavern by herself, worried. She did not know what to do. The Holy Lady Sect was too powerful. Even if the Blood Evil Emperor were to come back to life, he would not be qualified to challenge the Holy Lady Sect, let alone Lu Ling.
"I have a suggestion!" The Blood Evil Emperor suddenly said. Lu Li asked at once, "Sir, please."
"Go and join the Heaven Emperor Sect!"
The Blood Evil Emperor explained, "The Heaven Emperor Sect is the most powerful here. Only the Heaven Emperor Sect can suppress the Holy Lady Sect.
Only when you succeed in the Heaven Emperor Sect can you talk to the Holy Lady Sect on an equal footing. Given their characters, I think they will refuse to join the inner sect. In that case, you will have the chance to marry them.
Marry them. This is the only way for you to save them. "
"Marry them?"
Lu Li was surprised. Marrying Linglong was not a big deal. But what about Lu Ling?
That was his sister.
"Yes!"
The Blood Evil Emperor said with certainty, "Join the Heaven Emperor Sect and make a name for yourself as soon as possible. Then marry them and find a way back. Go back as soon as you marry them. Everything will be fine."
