Night fell. The Peak of Heaven Emperor quieted down. Few people were walking around during the day. At night, it was even more deserted.
Half of the sect's disciples had gone to the north, and the rest of the disciples were cultivating honestly. They didn't dare to wander around, and they didn't dare to gather together to have fun and drink.
A man walked out from the Rui Castle. It was Lu Li.
He walked in a low-key manner. He was wearing the robe of the sect. He didn't sneak around.
He was walking at a moderate pace. He seemed to be sad. He didn't seem to be doing as he wished.
The supervising patriarch of the Peak of Heaven Emperor noticed Lu Li easily.
He was curious to see Lu Li coming out from the Rui Castle.
He wanted to ask Lu Li if he had cultivated source energy.
But he didn't leave the castle when he saw the sadness on Lu Li's face. It had been more than a year. If Lu Li had cultivated source energy, the entire sect would have been shocked.
Judging by Lu Li's expression, he didn't seem to have cultivated source energy. The world Lu Li had created was a deserted world or not a Dharma Realm at all.
Since it was not a Dharma Realm and Lu Li could not cultivate source energy, the supervising patriarch didn't have to come out. He didn't want to talk to Lu Li either.
Lu Li walked to the hillside and entered a castle. This castle belonged to a patriarch, a patriarch in charge of internal affairs of the sect.
Was Lu Li here to ask for some pellets or materials?
"Hmm!"
The supervising elder smiled and retracted his divine sense. Could something like Origin Energy be cultivated by relying on medicinal pills and divine materials?
If so, everyone would be at the Great Emperor Realm.
Lu Li walked into the castle. Hu Shimeng had been waiting for him. Hu Shimeng activated the seal on the castle and showed Lu Li inside.
Inside the castle, Lu Li saw that it was not one person, but two.
"Great Emperor Realm!"
Lu Li was surprised to see a skinny old man on the left. This old man had the unique energy of a Great Emperor Realm warrior. Lu Li could not be wrong.
"Lu Li, this is Ancestor Yan. He has been in seclusion for many years. He came out because of you." Hu Shimeng introduced Ancestor Yan to Lu Li in a low voice.
Lu Li put on a solemn expression. He cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, sir."
Lu Li knew the other one, Hu Dongyuan, a patriarch of the Heaven Emperor Sect. Lu Li bowed to him as well.
Yan Zu nodded. The ring on Patriarch Hu's hand glowed and a jade slip flew out. Patriarch Hu said, "Lu Li, study it at once and see if you can mobilize your origin energy."
"Alright."
Lu Li knew that if he couldn't use his Origin Energy, then there was no point in talking about what would happen next.
He took the jade slip and flipped through it. After reading it carefully, he sat down cross-legged and began to comprehend it.
Hu Shimeng became nervous, and the elders of his family were also very nervous. Yan Zu, on the other hand, was sitting leisurely with his legs crossed, as if he didn't care.
Circulating Origin Energy was very simple. The difficult part was controlling Origin Energy to increase one's combat strength.
This Origin Energy was too domineering, and he couldn't act recklessly. Otherwise, something bad would happen.
After two hours, Lu Li immersed himself in the world of the pellet. More than three thousand traces of the great path lit up. Then, a strand of origin energy came out from that space and entered Lu Li's pellet.
"Buzz."
All of a sudden, Lu Li was like a beast that had just woken up from a deep sleep. His energy and momentum were enhanced by hundreds of times.
At that moment, Hu Shimeng felt that Lu Li was no longer a warrior of the Fifth Tribulation Realm, but a powerful warrior of the Emperor Realm.
"It really is Origin Energy."
Patriarch Hu was filled with excitement and a touch of envy and jealousy. He had tried twice and failed both times.
He and many other patriarchs had been looking forward to the last step day and night, but many couldn't make it until they died of old age. He didn't expect that he would witness a miracle today. A warrior of the Fifth Tribulation Realm had created a Dharma Realm and cultivated Origin Energy.
"This is so strange."
For the first time, Yan Zu spoke. His eyes were filled with surprise. He couldn't figure it out.
That being said, he was sure that what Lu Li released was Origin Energy. He was at the Emperor Realm and he knew Origin Energy so well.
"Lu Li."
Patriarch Hu couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell me how you built your Dharma Realm?"
Lu Li was hesitating. Patriarch Hu came back to his senses. He forced a smile and said, "I am being rash. You don't need to say more. We have done what you asked us to do.
As a matter of fact … our Family Patriarch doesn't know about this. Only the three of us know. We can do it for you. But it will take time, at least two months. "
Patriarch Hu was talking nonsense. How could he not report such an important matter to the Family Patriarch?
Patriarch Hu's explanation was that he wanted the three of them to shoulder the responsibility. Later, when the Heaven Emperor Sect investigated, the Hu Family wouldn't be implicated.
Lu Li didn't care about these things. He just wanted to go to the Holy Maiden Sect. He would remember the kindness of the Hu Family for sending him there.
Two months was fine. There were eight or nine months to go before the seminar in Hua Yang. Lu Li was not in a hurry. He just wanted to arrive before the seminar.
"Lu Li, don't go anywhere during these two months."
Elder Hu instructed, "You stay in the castle and cultivate. Don't tell anyone about this.
Based on my understanding of the higher-ups of the sect, if you tell them, they won't be able to go.
Yan Zu will go with you. Come back as soon as you are done. I will cover for you. "
Elder Hu thought for a moment and added, "Your goal is to rescue those two, right?
We have two plans. The first one is that you go to the seminar as a disciple of the Heaven Emperor Sect. You can stand out easily given your abilities. By then, you can ask for the two's hand in marriage. If everything goes well, then it will be a perfect solution.
Kill them first and report later. The sect will blame you, but they won't kill you.
The second plan is that if the Holy Maiden Sect doesn't agree, then we will work with you to find a chance to kidnap them. As long as we can get them and run back, the Holy Maiden Sect can't do anything to us.
Of course … it is complicated. We will have to see how it goes. Anyway, listen to Yan Zu. "
Lu Li was overjoyed to hear Patriarch Hu's words. Hu Family was generous. They sent a powerful warrior of the Great Emperor Realm to go with him and helped him figure out two plans. This was a great favor.
To return the favor, Lu Li swore with one hand, "Almighty God, as long as I can achieve something in the future, I will not forget the kindness of the Hu Family. Or else, I will die a miserable death."
Yan Zu and Patriarch Hu nodded with satisfaction. Hu Family was taking a risk. If the higher-ups of the Heaven Emperor Sect were angry, the two of them would not be able to get away with it.
What they did was for the sake of Lu Li's future rise, which could bring great benefits to the Hu Family.
They believed it was worth it and they were betting that the Heaven Emperor Sect would not give up such a promising young man like Lu Li.
Lu Li sneaked away and went back to the Rui Huo with "sadness". Inside, he activated the runes. Soon, his face lit up.
