In the early days, the Holy Lady Sect was suppressed many times and was almost wiped out. Later, a powerful warrior emerged and became the second most powerful warrior in the Endless Ruins of Gods.
Back then, there was a warrior who was recognized as the most powerful warrior in the entire Endless Ruins of Gods. Nobody could compete with him, including the master of the Holy Lady Sect. That warrior was the master of the Celestial Emperor Sect.
For a million years, the Celestial Emperor Sect had been the most powerful sect in the Endless Ruins of Gods. No other forces could shake their position. Nobody in the Endless Ruins of Gods dared to offend the disciples of this sect.
That being said, the rules of this sect were good. Their disciples rarely stirred up trouble or committed crimes. This sect was recognized as a decent sect.
The Blood Emperor's idea was clear and feasible. As long as Lu Li could join the Celestial Emperor Sect and make a name for himself, marrying two external disciples of the Holy Lady Sect wouldn't be difficult.
The Holy Lady Sect would hope to make friends with the future leaders of the Celestial Emperor Sect, which was a good thing for the Holy Lady Sect.
However …
Was it that easy to join the Celestial Emperor Sect?
Was it that easy to make a name for oneself?
Who wouldn't want to join the most powerful sect in the Endless Ruins of Gods?
Those that could join the Celestial Emperor Sect were all top talents.
It was too difficult to stand out when a group of Heaven's pridelings were competing inside.
Was there any other way for Lu Li?
He thought about it for an afternoon and realized that there was no other way. He could not compete with the Holy Lady Sect on his own, not even if he reached the Emperor Realm.
Other sects and the Holy Lady Sect could not compete either. He had no other choice but to join the Celestial Emperor Sect.
"I must join the Celestial Emperor Sect and make a name for myself. I must find a way back, marry the two girls and go back."
Lu Li's eyes were filled with determination. Now that he had made up his mind and found the right direction, he must work hard to move forward.
"The Celestial Emperor Dynasty is a bit far away."
Lu Li took out the map to check. This place was dozens of dynasties away from the Celestial Emperor Dynasty. That was a long distance.
The Chilly Winter Continent and the Flying Fire Continent were probably as far apart.
If he were to fly, he didn't know how long it would take.
Lu Li remembered. According to the information given by the waiters, there were three ways to get there. The first was to fly.
The second was to ride on flying beasts. This was the most common way. Of course, it would take a long time. Of course, no matter how fast the flying beasts were.
The third method was to open a Domain Gate. This method was faster, but the cost was higher.
Flying was out of the question. Riding on flying beasts would take too long unless they were riding top-level beasts that could be as fast as those of the Emperor Realm. Lu Li could not afford to wait.
Opening a Realm Gate was even more troublesome, because it required precious materials. Moreover, not just anyone could open a Realm Gate, so they needed to find a large clan.
Lu Li couldn't go to the Big Families every time he went.
Even if he had divine stones, the great clans might not be willing to earn them.
"I can only go and find someone."
Lu Li got up and walked outside. If he couldn't find a way on the surface, then he would have to go to the black market.
Any city would have a black market. Where there was light, there would definitely be darkness.
He walked around the city and locked onto a castle. The castle seemed fine on the surface, but Lu Li noticed that there were a lot of people going in and out. There was clearly something wrong.
He strode in and found two doors inside. There were two Fifth Tribulation warriors standing on the door on the left. Seeing him coming over, one of them stopped him and said, "Sir, please show your token."
"No!"
Lu Li shrugged and said, "But I have a lot of divine stones and I want to do business with you."
"Oh?"
One of the guards said in disbelief, "Can you show us a bit? Not everyone can go in here."
"Buzzing!"
Lu Li took out the Relic iron and asked, "Is this enough?"
"Holy Weapon fragment?"
The guard took a look and nodded reluctantly, "Okay. You can go in but don't do anything rash. Otherwise, the consequences will be serious. Do you understand?"
"I understand. I am not here to court death."
Lu Li shrugged and walked in. After a glare, he came to an underground plaza. This was indeed the black market.
Lu Li walked around for a while and found many treasures. Alien race beauties were on sale. Lu Li even saw some fragments of Holy Weapon, but they were sold at a high price of 40 million divine stones.
Lu Li was not here to buy treasures. He walked into a side chamber where an old man was sitting. Seeing Lu Li coming in, the old man greeted him with a smile, "Sir, do you have any special needs?"
"Yes!"
Lu Li didn't hide anything. He came straight to the point, "I want to go somewhere fast. Do you have any way to help me?"
"Oh?
Where do you want to go? "The old man took out a map with a smile.
Lu Li pointed to a place on the map and said, "I want to go there!"
The place Lu Li was pointing to was not the Celestial Emperor, but the Forester Dynasty in the east. Once he arrived at the Forester Dynasty, the Celestial Emperor would be closer. It would only take him half a month to fly there.
"The Forester Dynasty?"
The old man frowned and said, "That is a bit far. This is going to be difficult …"
The old man said it was difficult but he didn't say it was impossible. Lu Li's eyes glowed and said, "Sir, do you have a way? The price is negotiable."
"The price is hard to say …"
The old man said with a bitter smile, "I can help you contact the fastest flying beasts and there will be powerful warriors to protect you. But the price is a bit high."
"How much?" Lu Li asked with a frown.
The old man reached out one finger. Lu Li asked in a deep voice, "10 billion?"
The old man shook his head. Lu Li asked again, "100 billion?"
The old man still shook his head. Lu Li's mind was weighed down. "One trillion?"
"Yes!"
The old man answered with certainty, "This is the lowest price. You must know that it is so far away and it is not safe on the way.
The journey will take at least three years. Don't you think it will cost that much to have a powerful warrior of the Emperor Realm escort you? "
Lu Li said nothing. The old man had a point. Many places in the Boundless Ruins were dangerous and there were many powerful beasts. Without the protection of a powerful warrior, it would be impossible to have a safe journey.
"Why should I believe you?" Lu Li asked a practical question. "What if you cheat me after I give you the stones?
What if you leave me behind on the way? "
"Ha, ha!"
The old man smiled with pride and said, "We, the Cabinet of Heaven Will, will not do such things. You can go out and ask about the reputation of the Cabinet of Heaven Will and then you can come back and talk about this business with me!"
"Okay."
Lu Li said goodbye and left. Then he began to ask around. Lu Li was relieved after he found some people to gather information.
The Cabinet of Heaven Will was not just powerful. It was one of the 18 major sects and a family with a history of over a million years.
A family like this would not cheat him of his stones.
"Three years!"
Lu Li was worried. It would take him three years on the way. How long would it take for him to make a name for himself in the Heaven Emperor Sect?
How long would it take for him to find the way back? Even if everything went well, how long would it take for him to go back?
If the Third Heaven could not handle it or if the Asmodian Lord from the Asmodian Abyss came, would everyone be dead by the time they got back?
What was the point of going back then?
"I am thinking too far ahead …"
