"Found it!"
In the endless void, Lu Li wandered around that sea of stars for 13 days. Finally, he found a cave, which was inside a boulder.
There were many gravel in the sea of stars, some with a radius of over three hundred miles. There was nothing on them, as if they had been smashed by someone.
After searching through hundreds of thousands of gravel, Lu Li finally found the cave. There was a mark near the cave, which read "King of Middle Realm".
Those in the Third Heaven were not called King of Middle Realm. They just believed that their own world was the Third Heaven. Therefore, the mark was probably left behind by the Swan Ancestor.
Lu Li asked Blood Fairy to go in and have a look to make sure that this was a portal. Lu Li put Exquisite Elephant into the Heaven Separation Bead and went in alone.
"Whoosh!"
Inside the cave, Lu Li felt a suction force. He felt as if he had fallen into a tunnel of time and space. His body was spinning uncontrollably. He did not know how long he had been wandering around. He felt dizzy.
"Boom!"
Finally, Lu Li felt himself flying out. Then, he smashed into a boulder and bounced back down.
He checked with psychic power at once. To his surprise, he was in a cave. The runes in the cave were glowing. The runes here were strong.
Lu Li rested for a while and then walked out along the cave. He realized that he was underground. The runes isolated him from psychic power. He had to press on.
After the time for one incense stick to burn, Lu Li went through a door of light. Then, he found himself in an underground river. His psychic power was no longer restricted. He used psychic power to check up. Soon, he became excited. He could tell that the space above him was a mountain and there were beasts nearby.
He had entered a world. But it remained to be seen whether this was the Third Heaven or not.
His body quickly followed a cave and rushed to the surface. His Divine Telekinesis extended infinitely as he searched the surroundings.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li flew up and flew into the distance. In an hour, he found a small city nearby.
When he heard the familiar language, he felt he was about to burst into tears.
The language of the Third Heaven was different from that of the Endless Ruins. Hearing the language of the Third Heaven again, Lu Li was excited as if he had heard the accent of his hometown.
The Separation Bead glowed as Lu Ling and Xiang Linglong came out. They looked around and were excited to see Lu Li's expression. Xiang Linglong asked, "Lu Li, we are back."
Lu Li smiled. Pointing to the northeast, he said, "There is a small city over there. You can check it with psychic power."
They spread out their psychic power. Both of them were delighted. Xiang Linglong took Lu Li's hands and said, "We are back. We are finally back. I can finally see my father and mother."
"Alright, Linglong!"
Lu Li patted Exquisite Elephant's head with a smile and said, "Don't get too excited. Let's make a deal first — we will keep everything that happened at the Endless Ruins a secret. Not one word will be said."
"Huh?"
Xiang Linglong was stunned. Lu Ling understood after some thoughts. She nodded in agreement. Xiang Linglong asked in confusion, "Why not?"
"Because it will bring us endless trouble!"
Lu Li explained, "It will also bring panic to the Third Heaven. Another thing is, it will lead to a war between the Endless Ruins and the Third Heaven."
Exquisite Elephant was a smart girl as well. She understood immediately.
If the three of them talked about the Endless Ruins, there would be many people coming to ask them about it.
Their freedom might be restricted by some Emperor Realm warriors in case they divulged the information about the Endless Ruins.
Warriors of the Third Heaven had always thought that their world was the center of the Third Heaven, the most powerful one.
There were many Emperor Realm warriors in the Endless Ruins and there were many Saint Kings as well. It was inevitable that the Third Heaven would panic.
If all the powerful warriors from such a powerful world came out, the Third Heaven would be suppressed and enslaved.
What was more, what if a large number of powerful warriors went to the Endless Ruins this way?
By then, it would really lead to a war between the two worlds.
Therefore, Lu Li decided to keep it a secret. The chances of Dong Yeying and Yanggang coming back were slim anyway.
As long as the three of them kept quiet, nobody would know about the existence of the Endless Ruins.
Exquisite Elephant thought about it and said, "Then where have we been all these years?"
"Simple!"
Lu Li said, "We were in the altar. We detonated the altar and were sucked into the endless void.
We have been in the endless void all these years and only came back through a crack in space by chance. "
Lu Ling shook her head and said, "We should say that we found a small world in the endless void and cultivated there for some years. That small world is actually a land of treasures refined by a powerful warrior. We found the way back to the Third Heaven from that land of treasures.
Now that the land of treasures is gone, it will be more believable and no one will look into it! "
"Okay!"
Exquisite Elephant nodded. She thought about it and said, "Lu Li, Sister Ling, let's be on the same page. Don't tell anyone. If we leak it to one person, it will lead to a chain reaction.
Lu Li is right. This will bring us endless trouble. "
"Let's go and find out where we are first."
Lu Li took out his mask and they covered their faces with a silk scarf.
Otherwise, they would be recognized right away. They wanted to find out the situation first and then decide how to go.
The three of them restrained their qi and energy. That being said, Exquisite Elephant and Lu Ling were still powerful. Warriors at the peak of the Fifth Tribulation could tell that they were at the Lord Realm.
On the other hand, Lu Li was weaker. He was only at the Fifth Tribulation.
They walked around the small city and went into a private room in a tavern. They had a clear understanding of the situation. This was a small city at the south-central part of the Godly Wind Land. Lu Li didn't know that the endless void was connected to this place.
Lu Li called over a waiter and gave him a handful of divine stones. He had a clear understanding of the recent situation.
The three of them were relieved to know that the Third Heaven was stable and the armies of the Asmodians were suppressed in the two original battlefields.
The waiter didn't know about the Lu Family. The fact that the Yin Family had taken Lu Renhuang and the others over was not known.
However, since they were at the south-central part of the Godly Wind Land, Lu Li was hesitating. Should he go to the Chilly Winter Land?
Or should he go back to the Second Heaven at the Zi Yang Land?
Lu Li and Lu Ling looked at each other and saw the glow in her eyes. Lu Li was a bit hesitant but he made up his mind. He said to Xiang Linglong, "Linglong, I want to go to the Chilly Winter Land first and then go back to the Second Heaven. How about … I send you back to the Frigid Sea first?"
Every continent had a Portal of Interspatial Space built by the Samsara City. Given the relationship between Xiang Linglong and the Qi Family, she could take the Portal of Interspatial Space back to the Frigid Sea easily. Therefore, Lu Li was not worried about her safety.
"Chilly Winter Land?"
Xiang Linglong frowned and said with concern, "Emperor Yang and Queen Phoenix are there. You will be in danger if you go there. How about you go back to the Frigid Sea with me and see the Reincarnation Emperor first?"
"It's okay!"
