Seeing Lu Li's expression, Hu Shimeng suddenly had the urge to stop listening to Lu Li.
He was afraid that he would be moved by Lu Li's words and end up doing something stupid that would doom his family forever.
But in the end, for some reason, he asked, "Can I?"
"Do you know about the Dharma Realm?"
Lu Li asked. Hu Shimeng nodded and said, "Of course. That is the symbol of a powerful warrior at the Emperor Realm."
"Then … if I tell you that I have built a Dharma Realm, will you believe me?"
Lu Li put on an enigmatic smile. Before Hu Shimeng could react, Lu Li threw out more shocking information, "I built a Dharma Realm in the Heaven Emperor's Sword Formation and triggered some phenomena in heaven and earth. You should have sensed it, right?
All the Xuan Qi in heaven and earth were gathering toward the Heaven and Earth Sword Formation.
I was the cause of it. I was taken out by force and then I went to the Queen Emperor Mountain to see the Master.
I have been in seclusion for the past year to cultivate my Origin Power. Ten days ago … I successfully cultivated my Origin Power! "
"What?"
Hu Shimeng jumped to his feet as if he had seen a ghost. But soon, he shook his head and said, "Lu Li, don't try to fool me. You are at the Fifth Tribulation. How can you build a Dharma Realm?
This joke is not funny at all. "
"This is not a joke!"
Lu Li said seriously, "I will not joke with you. Think about it. Why did I come out from the Heaven Emperor's Sword Formation?
Why did I go to the Queen Emperor Mountain?
You should have sensed it a while ago, right?
Everyone was paying attention to me. "
"That is true …"
Hu Shimeng had a patriarch in the Heaven Emperor Sect. He knew something.
The surprise in his eyes was still evident. He stared at Lu Li for a while and asked with uncertainty, "Then … you are at the Emperor Realm now?"
"No!"
Lu Li said with a forced smile, "I have only built a Dharma Realm and cultivated source energy.
My master is not here and I don't even know how to use source energy.
But … there must be powerful warriors in your family that know how to use source energy.
You can go back and ask them. I can use source energy on the spot and show them. "
"Brother Hu!"
Lu Li said as if he was talking to a kid, "Think about it. If I reach the Emperor Realm, what will be my status in the Celestial Emperor Sect?
Even if I secretly go to the Female Sage Sect, will the sect really be willing to expel me from the sect?
In the future, my position in the sect will be very stable.
I'm not even a thousand years old. How much will I develop in the future?
If I can become a Saint Emperor and become a supreme expert of the sect, I can guarantee that your Hu Clan will become one of the core clans of the Heavenly Emperor Sect. "
"If you help me once, you might be reprimanded by the sect, but the sect will be lenient because of my potential. Naturally, your family won't be implicated.
As long as I can rise, you know how I am. I promise that I will do my best to help the Hu Family rise! "
"Brother Hu, I don't think you can make the decision on this matter. You can send word back and let your Patriarch make the decision.
I released my Origin Energy in front of your Patriarch. I thought that with your Patriarch's abilities, you would be able to find out that I had created a Dharma Realm.
Help me pass on a sentence — I will definitely repay the grace of a drop of water with a gushing spring! "
"Also, don't tell anyone else about this. If the sect learns about this, the Master will put me in detention. I will not be allowed to go to the Female Sage Sect.
If something happens to the Dragon Antelope and the Elephant Exquisite, my life will be ruined. "
Lu Li talked for a long time. Actually, at this moment, he was a bit shaken — since he had cultivated the source energy, could he report it to the Sect?
By then, the Master and the other powerful warriors would value him.
Maybe they would go to the Female Sage Sect to ask for Lu Li's hand in marriage.
But soon, he dismissed this idea. First of all, the Celestial Emperor Sect and the Female Sage Sect were not on good terms. Also, the higher-ups of the Celestial Emperor Sect had stated that they would not participate in the Conference of Dao in the Sun City.
Powerful warriors had their own dignity. The Celestial Emperor Sect had many rules that would not be changed because of one person.
Also, the north of the Celestial Emperor Sect was not peaceful recently. That world of demons and demons might be in turmoil.
When the sect was in trouble, how could they send some powerful warriors to the Female Sage Sect just for Lu Li?
A fifty-fifty chance!
According to Lu Li's calculations, if he went to the higher-ups of the Celestial Emperor Sect and told them that he had cultivated Origin Energy, there was a fifty percent chance that the Celestial Emperor Sect would help him.
He dared not to take the risk!
If the Celestial Emperor Sect valued him, then why not kill him first?
He would go to the Female Sage Sect and then send someone to tell Emperor Rui that he had cultivated Origin Energy and that he had gone to the Female Sage Sect. By then, the Celestial Emperor Sect would react and send powerful warriors after him.
What was done could not be undone. He wouldn't mind if the Celestial Emperor Sect punished him.
To Lu Li, Lu Ling was everything. He had to go to the Female Sage Sect. Nothing else mattered to him. If he had to die, he would die in the Female Sage Sect.
Hu Shimeng did not come back to his senses for a long time. He thought about it and finally said, "Brother Lu, I hope you are not lying to me. Otherwise, I will be in big trouble."
"Don't worry, Brother Hu!"
Lu Li's eyes were filled with sincerity. He said, "You only need to tell your Family Patriarch and he will make a decision."
As a matter of fact, even if Lu Li told the Family Patriarch, he might not succeed. What if the Family Patriarch reported the matter?
In the end, Hu Shimeng could only count on the higher-ups of the Celestial Emperor Sect. But as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Lu Li would not give up. He would not take any risks.
Hu Shimeng left in a hurry. Lu Li did not overthink. He had done what he could and said what he could. The rest was up to fate.
Lu Li continued to cultivate, trying to cultivate more Origin Energy.
He waited quietly for Hu Family's decision.
Time moved on. After a day and a half, Hu Shimeng finally came again.
He came with a piece of news — his Family Patriarch thought Lu Li was talking nonsense. How could Lu Li, a fifth tribulation warrior, cultivate a State of Dharma?
But a patriarch of the Hu Family was convinced. He expressed that he wanted to meet Lu Li in private. If the patriarch approved of Lu Li, he would help Lu Li personally and take him to the Female Sage Sect.
"Hu Family Patriarch is smart!"
Lu Li understood immediately after a moment of analysis.
Hu Family agreed. But Hu Family Patriarch was smart. On the surface, he and the Hu Family would not get involved and they would not even meet Lu Li.
This was done secretly by a patriarch. If something went wrong … the patriarch would take the blame. It had nothing to do with the Hu Family.
Anyways, Lu Li had to accept Hu Shimeng's kindness even though he had lied to Hu Shimeng.
He could not stay in the Endless Ruins forever. Naturally, he could not become a higher-up of the Celestial Emperor Sect.
That being said, he would remember Hu Family's kindness. If he had the chance, he would return the favor.
"Lu Li!"
