It was three days later when Lu Li woke up. He felt pain all over his body. One of his arms had not grown back and his pellet was broken.
First, he used psychic power to check. He found himself in a castle with the daughter of Saint King standing next to him. This place should be safe. Lu Li took some healing pellets and fell asleep.
He slept for another three days. When he woke up, he felt much better. His arm had grown back and his wounds were healed. Of course, the pellet had not recovered yet.
The pellet had to be made with super pellets. It could not grow back by itself.
Lu Li was not in a hurry to make the pellet. Instead, he used psychic power to check the surroundings.
He noticed two maids outside and transmitted his voice over: "Come in!"
A maid walked in. Lu Li asked, "Where are we?"
"Young Master Lu, this is the Ancient Jade Peak!"
The maid explained, "This is a peak in the Heaven Emperor Universe. Patriarch Gu sent you here and asked us to take good care of you.
She said that you can go to the Heaven Emperor Peak when you are healed. "
"Heaven Emperor Universe?"
Lu Li was surprised. Then, he was delighted. "I have made it?
I am an official disciple of the Heaven Emperor Sect now? "
"No!" The maid was embarrassed. "Young Master, you have been accepted as a registered disciple!"
"Registered disciple?"
Lu Li put on a bitter smile. He remembered that he was knocked out by Guan Qianqiu. Usually, he would be teleported out and eliminated immediately after he passed out.
In other words, he did not have five wins in a row, but only four.
It was understandable that he was accepted as a registered disciple instead of an official disciple.
Registered disciple …
This was a consolation prize which was not very meaningful. It would be lucky if one out of ten registered disciples could become an official disciple.
If they were unlucky, they could all be kicked out after three years.
The Heaven Emperor Sect was strict in accepting disciples. They would rather have nothing than have a shoddy quality. They would spend a huge amount of resources to train every official disciple.
If nothing went wrong, they would become powerful warriors. At the very least, they could become Emperor Candidates. If they were lucky, they could even become Emperor Candidates.
The Heaven Emperor Sect would provide all their disciples with many resources which were not endless. Naturally, the Heaven Emperor Sect would not waste resources on others.
The nominal disciples were the losers and the products of elimination.
No matter how strong you were or how talented you were, a loser would always be a loser. No one would care about a loser. The eyes of the big shots in the sect would always be on the official disciples.
"You can leave first. I'll rest for a while!"
This thought surprised Lu Li. He had come all the way to the Heaven Emperor Sect and worked so hard. He was so close to his goal. However, in the end, he failed on the verge of success. All he got was a consolation prize.
Staying in this Celestial Thearch Peak for three years, witnessing the strength of the number one sect in this Celestial Thearch Peak, and then being sent away sourly?
This was not the ending he wanted.
"I was thinking too much …"
After a while, Lu Li put on a bitter smile. His own abilities were just so-so. It was lucky that he could make it to the finals and almost make it to the Top 10.
If it was anyone else, they might not even be able to enter the semi-finals. He should be content.
Lu Li had some special means, but his realm was his shortcoming. His foundation was weak as well. When he was at a lower realm, these might not be a problem.
That being said, in front of a truly powerful warrior, these problems could be fatal.
Lu Li's mind wandered for a while. He consumed some herbs and fell asleep again.
This time, he slept for three days. When he woke up, his wounds were almost healed. The only thing left was the pellet.
Lu Li's pellet was destroyed once before. He had some experience in this. He rummaged through the herbs in his Interspatial Ring and found some that could help in the formation of pellets.
He didn't go to the Celestial Thearch Peak. He stayed in his room to cultivate. The priority was to repair the pellets and restore his abilities.
Without divine energy, many skills could not be used. Not even Sovereign Weapons could be used.
Since he had made pellets before, Lu Li was experienced. This time, the process was fast. In seven or eight days, Lu Li's pellet was made.
The newly formed pellet contained no divine energy at all. All the divine energy that Lu Li had accumulated was gone. He stopped cultivating after three days of cultivation.
"Please take me to the Celestial Thearch Peak!"
Lu Li said to the maid. She shook her head and said, "I am sorry, Young Master. The Celestial Thearch Peak is not a place for servants like us.
There is a Teleportation Formation here. Activate it and you can go to the Celestial Thearch Peak directly. "
"Okay!"
Lu Li didn't have so many concerns. He strode toward the Teleportation Formation outside. It was a simple one. He activated it easily.
After a flash of white light, Lu Li arrived at the foot of a huge mountain. He stood in a plaza.
The plaza was not large. There was a statue of an old man in a straw cape with a fishing rod in his hand. The statue was vivid, like a real person.
Lu Li looked toward the mountain. There were castles everywhere, but they were all small ones. They were scattered across the mountain like plum blossoms.
The mountain was shrouded in mist. The Xuan Qi in heaven and earth was rich. Therefore, the flowers and trees here were luxuriant. It was like a fairyland.
There was no army in the plaza, only a pavilion. In the pavilion sat an old man who was playing a game of chess. He didn't even notice Lu Li's arrival.
Lu Li dared not to be arrogant in a place like this. He walked over, bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord!"
The old man looked up at Lu Li, waved his hand and said, "Go up the mountain. You can only take the small path. Don't look around, don't probe, and don't walk around. Otherwise, don't blame me if you die.
Go to the middle of the mountain and find the biggest castle. Patriarch Gu is there.
Also, don't call me Lord. Just call me Ghost. "
"Thank you, Lord Ghost."
Lu Li cupped his fists again. He looked at the mountain and tried to identify the small path. He remembered Ghost's words clearly.
There were at least hundreds of castles in the mountain. Powerful warriors of the Heaven Emperor Sect must be living there.
Lu Li was only a registered disciple. He wouldn't even know how he died if he acted rashly.
Lu Li walked along the small path. He didn't dare to look around, walk around, or use psychic power. He walked toward the middle of the mountain step by step.
After a while, he passed by dozens of castles. None of them dared to look around.
After a turn, he saw a castle right in front of him. Out of instinct, he looked over and saw an old man sitting under a tree.
The old man had red hair, bulging eyes, and a beard. Even though he didn't show any energy, Lu Li could tell that he was a powerful warrior.
"Martial Emperor!"
Lu Li knew this man. He didn't know that Martial Emperor was living here.
When Lu Li looked over, Martial Emperor happened to raise his head and made eye contact with Lu Li. Lu Li's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling.
"Punk, come here!"
Martial Emperor suddenly waved his hand. Lu Li had to force himself to walk over. When he arrived, Lu Li cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Lord Martial Emperor."
"Are you healed?
You have made the pellets. That is fast! "
Martial Emperor put on a smile. But it was ferocious and horrifying. He was like a strange uncle who saw a pretty girl. He said with a grin, "It just so happens that I need a servant. Go and tell Patriarch Gu that he can work for me for the next three years."
