18 days!
Lu Li flew for 18 days with Xiang Linglong and Lu Ling and finally found the way out.
On the way, he told them everything. Lu Ling raised many questions, none of which Lu Li could answer.
There was no doubt that Lu Li was very talented. Whether it was in the Third Heaven or the Endless Ruins, he would be a top talent.
How could a powerful force continue to prosper?
What he relied on were the outstanding disciples from generation to generation.
Powerful warriors would grow old and die. Without a reserve of talents, the sect would decline and die sooner or later.
Any family and force would value the reserve of talents. People like Lu Li would be welcomed and valued by all forces.
It was illogical for Lu Li to be imprisoned in the Hell Realm, not to mention that he almost died in there.
Even if he was imprisoned, there must be powerful warriors protecting him in secret. At least, it was guaranteed that Lu Li would not die.
When Lu Li came here, he was in a bad state. He might have lost his mind, let alone died.
In that case, if there were powerful warriors protecting him, how could he not do something?
Then there was the Swan Ancestor!
It was not that no one was imprisoned in the Hell Realm. Why did the Swan Ancestor ask for help when Lu Li came?
Also, the Swan Ancestor had been to the Third Heaven?
The Swan Ancestor knew the way out of the Hell Realm to the Heaven Emperor Dynasty?
Why didn't the Swan Ancestor go out himself?
With such a powerful remnant soul, it would be easy for him to control a beast, not to mention flying out himself.
There was another loophole!
How did the Swan Ancestor know the way out?
How did he know that he could reach the Qiang Hu Region after leaving that way?
It meant that he had been out.
If so, why didn't he go to the Yuan Family himself?
Also …
His remnant soul could easily enter Lu Li's body. Wouldn't it be better for Lu Li to take him to the Yuan Family?
Why did he have to let Lu Li bring the Yuan Family Patriarch in?
There were too many doubts. Lu Li didn't think too much before. He just thought that even if something happened, he would be imprisoned for a few more years at most.
After Lu Ling's analysis, he found many problems.
The Swan Ancestor wouldn't harm him for no reason. Outsiders could not get in here.
Also, the Swan Ancestor must have been to the Third Heaven. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a clear understanding of it. The Swan Ancestor shouldn't know that Lu Li came from the Third Heaven.
Therefore, after much thought, Lu Li and Lu Ling decided to go in and have a look.
If it was not the way to the Third Layer of Heaven, they could return.
Most importantly, Lu Li had a feeling … that the Swan Ancestor wouldn't harm him.
The war chariot stopped above an abyss. According to Ancestor Swan's map, the exit was at the bottom of the abyss.
Lu Li didn't think too much about it. He controlled the chariot and slowly flew towards the bottom of the abyss.
"Roar, roar ~"
There were ferocious beasts at the bottom of the abyss. Two deafening roars resounded throughout the abyss.
Lu Li dashed down, released his Dharma Form and killed the two beasts.
He found a passageway at the bottom of the abyss. It was a passageway that glowed with blue light, and there were obviously divine patterns on the outside.
Lu Li asked Blood Fairy to have a look. She realized that the patterns were only used to repel beasts.
"Go!"
Lu Li shouted and rushed into the tunnel with Lu Ling and Xiang Linglong. The three of them saw a blue glare and then they were surrounded by darkness. After a while, they sensed something was wrong.
The surroundings were still pitch-black, but the aura here was exceptionally desolate, cold, and ancient. It was as if this space had existed for hundreds of millions of years.
The space here also made people feel very small, as if they had become a grain of sand in the ocean.
"There is light in the distance. We should be in the real void!"
“
Lu Li shouted. He felt there was no gravity here. He was floating in the air.
He felt a gentle breeze. It was Xiang Linglong's psychic power.
Lu Li was surprised. He released his psychic power and it was true that his psychic power was no longer restricted.
He used psychic power to check and found a dark cave behind him. That must be where they came out from.
From this cave, they could return to the Endless Ruins as well.
"Well … let me make a mark!"
“
Lu Li thought about it and took out a weapon. He crushed it and scattered it around him.
There was no gravity here. Therefore, the pieces of the weapon would not fall down. They just floated in the air.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li was a bit excited. Lu Ling and Xiang Linglong were blushing as well.
This place was exactly the same as on Ancestor Swan's map. It was very likely that Ancestor Swan did not lie to Lu Li. This way could lead them back to the Third Heaven.
Blood Evil King also said that in order to go back, they must go through the void. The Endless Ruins and the Third Heaven were two completely different worlds.
To go from one world to the other, apart from going to the Fourth Heaven, the only way was to go through the gaps between the worlds.
Lu Li held Xiang Linglong and Lu Ling's hands. Nobody knew what was going to happen here. Anyhow, Lu Li wanted the three of them to stay together. Even if something were to happen, it would be better for the three of them to face the consequences together.
Lu Li remembered the map Ancestor Swan gave him. There were two maps. One was the map of the Hell.
The second map was the one in the void, showing him the way to the Third Heaven.
Lu Li flew forward toward the place where there was light.
In the void, he felt he was moving faster. After all, there was no gravity here.
Lu Ling and Xiang Linglong were not as fast as Lu Li. They stopped flying and let Lu Li carry them.
It was pitch dark everywhere. There was only a bit of light in the distance.
Even though they could see the light, Lu Li and the others had been flying for two hours. They still felt the light was far away …
It was so quiet that it was suffocating. Lu Li took out the Heaven Separation Bead and went in.
Soon, he came out and said, "You two go in and cultivate. I will fly on my own."
"No!"
Xiang Linglong said stubbornly, "I will not go in. I want to be with you."
With that said, Xiang Linglong remembered that Lu Ling was here. She lowered her head shyly.
Lu Ling smiled gently and said, "Okay, teleport me in. I will not disturb you two from lovey-dovey."
"Sis …"
Lu Li smiled in embarrassment but he sent Lu Ling in anyway. Xiang Linglong leaned over and said to Lu Li, "Even if this is the way to the underworld, I will go with you. I don't want you to be alone. Don't leave me behind, okay?"
Lu Li was touched. She used to be like an iceberg. Now, she was saying such affectionate words. How could Lu Li not be moved?
Holding Xiang Linglong in his arms, Lu Li said with a smile, "When we get back to the Third Heaven, I will go to the Xiang Family and ask for your hand in marriage.
But … you know I have several wives. I don't think the Xiang Family will agree. "
A trace of sadness appeared on Xiang Linglong's face. She was a proud woman, yet she had to share a man with other women. This inevitably made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
But thinking of the past, she said with determination, "If they don't agree, I will elope with you.
What's more, you are more powerful than our forefather. I don't think the family will say anything … "
The Xiang Family didn't have a warrior of the Emperor Realm. Lu Li could defeat a Quasi-Emperor now. Not only would the Xiang Family not object, they would be happy.
"Ha, ha, ha, let's go!"
