The base camp of the Celestial Emperor Sect was not in the Celestial Emperor City, but in a small world.
Through the refinement of many powerful Saint Emperors, this small world had become a land of treasures with many strange places.
Yama Mountain was a strange place, one of the top 10 places in the Celestial Emperor Realm. But for powerful warriors, it was a land of treasures. For average disciples, it was a land of despair.
Clearly, Emperor Wu was up to no good by bringing Lu Li here.
Even though he could not kill Lu Li, he would make Lu Li suffer for at least three years.
After a flash of white light, Lu Li sensed something was wrong as well.
This place was horrifying!
Lu Li was teleported out. The first thing he saw was white thunderbolts falling from the sky like a waterfall. Half of the mountain was covered in thunderbolts, which was quite frightening.
In addition to thunderbolts, there was a black haze floating in the air. Lu Li sensed fatal danger from the haze. He believed that if he were to get close to the haze, he would be in big trouble.
"Stay close. Don't blame me if you die!"
Emperor Wu said coldly and then rushed forward. Lu Li hurried to keep up. This was not a joke. If he made the wrong move, his death would be in vain.
Lu Li followed Emperor Wu into the mountain. Emperor Wu's movements were graceful. He floated around like a gust of wind. Lu Li sped up to the top of his speed or else he could not keep up with Emperor Wu.
The Yama Mountain was large. Lu Li's psychic power seemed to be limited here. He could only reach a radius of 30 miles.
The deeper they went into the mountain, the thicker the black haze was. It was so dark that it felt like it was not the human world but hell.
"Three years in a place like this?"
Lu Li shuddered with fear. Yama, Yama, this was not the human world, but hell.
Why did Emperor Wu choose a place like this to live?
Or did he leave Lu Li here on purpose?
After the time for half an incense stick to burn, Lu Li realized that there was no more path ahead. The black haze had covered up a large area in front of him.
Lu Li could faintly see some blue light wandering in the black haze like ghosts. But he could not tell what they were.
"Follow me!"
Emperor Wu said coldly. Then, he waved his hand and created a shield that enveloped Lu Li and himself. Emperor Wu walked in front and the shield pushed the dark fog away.
After walking in the black fog for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the road ahead finally opened up, and a valley appeared.
There were divine inscriptions in this valley that blocked the black mist outside. There was also a black castle in the valley. White mist rose up from within, making the castle faintly discernible. It seemed like the Martial Emperor lived here.
Emperor Wu poured out a ray of Xuan Energy. A small door appeared in the shield. He walked in with Lu Li and then deactivated the shield.
"Ss, ss …"
As soon as Lu Li entered, he felt as if he had been thrown into an icehouse. His body was frozen, and even his eyebrows and beard were frozen. He couldn't even move.
Seeing that he had stopped in place, Martial Emperor said coldly, "Get used to it first. You're too useless if you can't even stand this little chill.
Later on, go to that small house and stay there. Five days later, help me gather the divine materials. This old man wants to forge a weapon. "
With that said, Emperor Wu left. When Lu Li entered a castle, he said coldly, "Don't go out. Don't blame me if you die."
Emperor Wu went into the castle. Lu Li did not move. He sat on the ground and cultivated for a while, using divine energy to drive away the cold.
It was too cold here, even colder than the Cave of Ice.
Lu Li could not feel the cold in the Cave of Ice. But here, he could feel the coldness invading his soul. It was so cold that it reached his bones.
Lu Li cultivated for an hour before he could get used to the coldness. He walked toward the cabin, shivering.
The cabin was only a hundred feet away. Lu Li would stop for a while. It took him the time for over a dozen breaths to get into the cabin. There was nothing inside. Lu Li asked Blood Fairy to set up a divine inscription at once.
Blood Fairy came out and began to set up a divine inscription. However, Lu Li did not feel warm. He was still freezing cold.
Blood Fairy said, "Master, it is so cold here because of the white mist. The mist has filled up the space. Therefore, it is useless to set up a divine inscription."
"Then never mind!"
Lu Li waved his hand. "There are divine inscriptions in this valley. You can go and study them. But do not make any changes. You will not trigger the divine inscription. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
Blood Fairy replied. Then, she went underground to study the divine inscriptions.
Lu Li continued to struggle against the coldness. If he could not find a way to get used to the coldness, he would not even be able to move. How could he help Emperor Wu?
"Should I try to absorb some of the coldness?"
Lu Li sat with his legs crossed. He used divine energy to absorb the coldness.
His body was filled with coldness. It would be easier for him to get used to it.
A moment later, he realized that he could not absorb the coldness.
This was a headache. He thought for a while and then used the trace of the great path.
Years ago, he used the trace of the great path to absorb the Primordial Chaos. He wanted to see if he could absorb the coldness.
"Yes!"
After he used the trace of the great path, he noticed that the coldness was being absorbed and gathered at his abdomen, the same as when he absorbed the Primordial Chaos.
When the coldness entered his body, Lu Li noticed a problem. His body was completely frozen.
When the coldness entered his body, he could not adapt to it. Instead, he felt even more uncomfortable. He had turned into an ice sculpture. He could not even move his fingers.
"I need to find a way to absorb the coldness into my acupoints."
Lu Li realized that there was only one way. Just like before, he could absorb the Primordial Chaos into his acupoints. In this way, not only could he solve the problem, but he could also strengthen his body.
He calmed himself down and began to think. In three days, he had successfully absorbed the coldness into his acupoints and transformed it into a special kind of energy.
When the coldness was absorbed, Lu Li could clearly feel his body was strengthening. He was overjoyed. After absorbing some of the coldness, he was not as afraid of the cold anymore. Clearly, he could stand it now.
"Go on!"
Emperor Wu told Lu Li to go and find him in five days. Lu Li did not have time for that. He kept on absorbing the coldness.
The more coldness he absorbed, the stronger his body would be. It also meant that he would be less afraid of the coldness.
As he had expected!
After another two days, Lu Li felt his body had improved. More importantly, he was not afraid of the coldness anymore. His movements were not affected, but his speed and abilities were still suppressed.
He walked out and entered the castle where the Martial Emperor resided. Upon entering, he saw a large hall where the Martial Emperor resided.
In the hall was a huge cauldron. Emperor Wu was sitting next to the cauldron, looking at a piece of paper with a frown.
Lu Li's entrance startled Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu looked at Lu Li in surprise and asked, "How did you do it?"
Lu Li blinked in confusion. Emperor Wu asked again, "How did you suppress the coldness here?"
Emperor Wu gave Lu Li five days, but that was just a casual remark.
As far as Emperor Wu was concerned, there was no way Lu Li could stand the coldness here and Lu Li would have to beg Emperor Wu for help. However, Lu Li could resist the coldness here after five days of cultivation.
Of course, Lu Li would not tell Emperor Wu about the trace of the Great Dao. He explained, "Lord Emperor Wu, I have absorbed some coldness and I can stand it!"
"Nonsense!"
