Lu Li obeyed the sect's punishment. That didn't mean that he was willing to suffer here. Therefore, he checked the mountain at once. After a moment, he nodded and said to Blood Fairy, "Blood Fairy, there is a miraculous formation in the mountain. Take a look. This formation can suppress those ghosts."
"Really?"
Blood Fairy was very interested in Divine Inscription Formations. She hurriedly went to inspect it, and after a while, she transmitted her voice to Qin Wentian, "Master, this is indeed a very strange Divine Inscription Formation. Although it is simple, it is very profound. Give me a few days and I will be able to set it up.
"Okay!"
Lu Li was delighted. If he could build a formation like this, he would not have to fear the wandering ghosts outside.
He would not have to worry about the wandering ghosts. All he had to do was to find the temple and build a formation like this in there. Then, he could cultivate in peace.
He sat cross-legged on the ground and cultivated his Origin Energy.
At the same time, he cleared his mind. He did not want to stay here forever. At the very least, Lu Ling and Xiang Linglong would be lonely, especially Xiang Linglong. She would want to be with him day and night.
She had just escaped from the clutches of the Holy Lady Sect. She must be very fragile. She needed someone to stay with her and she needed time to recover.
He recalled the gains and losses of the trip to the Holy Maiden Sect. Granted, he owed the Hu Family a big favor, but it was worth it to save Xiang Linglong and Lu Ling perfectly.
It all depended on how he could repay Hu Family. Also, Lord Li saved his life. Lu Li did not know how to repay him.
The best way to repay him was to stay in the Celestial Emperor Sect forever, become a senior leader there, and contribute to the Celestial Emperor Sect.
But what about the Third Plane?
What about the Lu Family?
What about his friends at the Second Plane and the Third Plane?
How could he go back to the Third Plane?
Would the Celestial Emperor Sect allow him to go back?
These were all problems. Lu Li felt a headache coming on. He did not know what to do.
He thought for a while and decided to follow Emperor Rui's advice. He would cultivate hard and reach the Emperor Realm.
Only when he reached the Emperor Realm could he have the right to speak and the confidence to talk to the senior leaders of the Celestial Emperor Sect.
Even though he had sources of energy, he was still too weak. He was not strong enough to fight against Emperor Realm warriors.
"Master has succeeded!"
Five days later, Blood Fairy said. Lu Li took out a chariot and said, "Do something in the chariot and see if it will work."
Blood Fairy entered the war chariot. An hour later, a Divine Rune Formation was added to the war chariot.
"Let me try!"
Lu Li boarded the chariot and flew it forward slowly. As soon as he flew out of the hill, the ground in front of him was filled with smoke. Then, many remnant souls came over.
Those remnant souls transformed into all sorts of sinister and terrifying appearances.
"Activate the formation!"
Lu Li shouted. The chariot glowed and then the formation was activated. When the formation was activated, the chariot was no different from before. There was no glow or airflow.
"Woo, woo ~"
However, the expressions of the surrounding malicious ghosts changed drastically. Their eyes were filled with terror as they fled in all directions.
Lu Li replied with a smile, "Blood Fairy, well done!"
Lu Li flew the chariot around. Everywhere the chariot passed by, the malicious ghosts were all driven away. The chariot was useful, like a holy artifact that could exorcise evil.
Lu Li came back after one round. He asked Blood Fairy to set up another chariot while he flew out of the hill by himself.
There were not only malicious ghosts here, but also many strange monsters. Brother Cheng did not go into details, but he did mention them.
If Lu Li had to come out of the chariot when he was attacked by strange monsters, he would be attacked by malicious ghosts.
Therefore, he must test the strength of the malicious ghosts first in case he was caught unprepared.
"Woo, woo ~"
As soon as he flew out, malicious ghosts came out from below. They were fast and entered Lu Li's soul in a flash. In Lu Li's mind, he saw different scenes.
He felt that the scenery around him had changed. He appeared in a furnace, and monsters were biting his body from all directions. He could also feel pain, as if he was really being torn into pieces.
Lu Li had a strong will power. This illusion did not affect him. He focused on his soul and noticed three malicious ghosts had entered his soul. The dragon's soul began to glow to protect him.
Lu Li mobilized his soul energy and used the Soul Devouring Skill. Many beasts formed from soul energy dashed out and attacked the malicious ghosts.
After a moment, Lu Li relaxed. Those malicious ghosts were not strong. They were suppressed by the Soul Devouring Skill easily. The remnant souls were devoured one by one.
As the remnant souls were devoured, the illusion in Lu Li's mind disappeared. He came back.
Still, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he sat on the ground and continued to cultivate.
His trip to the Holy Maiden Sect had consumed some of his source energy. He planned to cultivate for a few months to replenish his source energy. He was not in a hurry to find the temple.
After all, he knew that he could not leave anytime soon. He would have to stay here for at least a couple of years, at least until the Heavenly Tribulation.
He had no elixirs and he did not know when he could go through the Heavenly Tribulation. That being said, he had source energy. He believed that as long as his soul was stronger and he mastered the usage of source energy, he could go through the Heavenly Tribulation.
He had saved Lu Ling and Xiang Linglong. The Third Heaven should be able to handle it.
If the Third Heaven was fine, then the Second Heaven would be even more so.
What was more, Lu Ling suspected that the Asmodian was the Saint Emperor. Therefore, Lu Li had fewer demons in his mind during this time. The Heavenly Tribulation would be easier. At the very least, the sixth Heaven's Tribulation would be less stressful.
While cultivating source energy, Lu Li cultivated his soul. At the same time, he began to study the usage of source energy.
Emperor Rui taught him some and gave him a book on the usage of source energy.
Source energy was a powerful force. Every strand of source energy was powerful. Therefore, it was different from divine energy. The source energy must be divided to achieve the best effect.
When source energy was used well, the speed, offensive power and defensive power could be improved. Lu Li had only used the most primitive method. He did not know how to use source energy in a delicate way.
"Shield of source energy!"
"Armor of source energy!"
"Blade of source energy …"
Lu Li experimented over and over again. It had been more than three months. He had made progress in the usage of source energy.
Now that he was using less Origin Energy, he could achieve better results than before.
"It's about time. Let's go to the temple!"
Lu Li put away one chariot and took another chariot to a direction. Sitting in the chariot with his legs crossed, he used the trace of Dao to sense the surroundings.
"Something is wrong!"
