There was no doubt about the power of the Abyssal Domain. If Lu Li were a Saint Emperor, he might be able to go and see if he could turn the tide. But now, he would be courting death. He was not that stupid.
He would lose his life for the sake of the Third Heaven. He was not alone now. He had several families behind him. If he were to die, Lu Li believed that the Lu Family and the Yin Family would be doomed.
Lu Li forced a smile and said, "Sir, this is not a funny joke …"
The old Taoist stood up. He was really old. His face was covered with age spots.
Usually, powerful warriors that had lived for two or three hundred thousand years would rarely have such age spots. This indicated that this old man had lived longer than Lu Li could imagine.
The old man was lethargic as well. It seemed that he could pass away at any time.
He wore a loose robe and hid his hands in his sleeves. He looked kind and harmless. There was no way to tell that he was a powerful warrior.
Looking at Lu Li, the old Taoist said calmly, "I can go out but I cannot play a decisive role. I can only stop the armies from the Abyssal Domain. But to pacify the Abyssal Domain, I will need your help."
"Ah?"
Lu Li was overjoyed to hear that the old Taoist was willing to go out.
But when he heard that the old Taoist wanted him to help, he did not feel uncomfortable or against it. He was just surprised.
He asked, "Sir, what can I do?
Also, why are you so sure that I can pacify the Abyssal Domain?
I am not that strong. Even the powerful Asmodians can kill me easily … "
"It all started more than sixty thousand years ago!"
The old Taoist sighed. "Sixty thousand years ago, I suffered a catastrophe. I could not control my mind. I went mad and slaughtered became second nature to me. Later on, I was saved by a mysterious powerful warrior.
He brought me here and forbade me to go out. I had to cultivate here.
He said that one day, when the human race suffers a great calamity, a Seven Tribulation Heavenly Fiend will find this place. At that time, I can enter the world to atone for my sins. He said that I will face another great calamity, and the only person who can resolve it is you. "
"Sixty thousand years ago?"
Lu Li blinked. This sounded like a fairy tale. It was funny. If it were not for the fact that the old Taoist was powerful and said it with a straight face, Lu Li would have thought that he was talking nonsense.
Sixty thousand years ago, someone predicted that the human race would suffer a catastrophe?
Who would have predicted that he would come here?
Could he still be considered as someone who could resolve the crisis of the Human Race?
This was simply impossible, unless that person was a true immortal who could see through fifty thousand years?
Lu Li didn't believe him at all. Either the old man was lying, or the Great Demon King had come here early and colluded with the old man to deceive him.
The problem was …
What good is there in deceiving him?
Send him to his death?
If this old Taoist wanted to kill him, he could probably pinch him to death easily.
Even though Lu Li didn't know the real abilities of this old Taoist, he was certain that this old Taoist should be as powerful as the Reincarnation Emperor at least if the little Taoist boy outside was at the sixth tribulation.
It was also possible that it was the Sage Emperor.
Lu Li couldn't figure it out, but he didn't want to think about it. He asked directly, "Taoist Priest, just tell me. What do you need me to do?
As long as I can expel the Demonic Abyss Army, I'll do anything. "
The old Taoist shook his head and said, "I don't know the exact situation of the Third Heaven. Go back now. I will send someone to you with my token.
I will also leave the mountain in a few days to atone for the wrong I did back then. I will die before I can rest. "
The old Taoist gave Lu Li a token which was blood red in color. It didn't look like it was natural, but more like it was dyed with blood.
The old Taoist explained, "Back in the days, I was called the Butcher of a Thousand Armies. Now, I call myself the Immortal of Sin. What is your name?"
"Lu Li!"
Lu Li said, "I live in the City of Mystic Armor at the Chilly Winter Land. You can ask around.
Well … by the way, what realm are you at? "
The Immortal of Sin didn't try to hide anything. He said frankly, "I reached the peak of the Emperor Realm more than sixty thousand years ago. Over the past sixty thousand years, I was lucky enough to make the breakthrough."
"Saint Emperor!"
Lu Li's eyes glowed and his cheeks reddened. If there was a living Saint Emperor at the Third Heaven, then there was hope to survive the catastrophe.
Before Lu Li could come back to his senses, the Immortal of Sin added, "I have three apprentices and four grand-disciples. All of them have reached the Emperor Realm. One of them is as powerful as I was sixty thousand years ago. My grand-disciples are as powerful as the one outside."
"What …"
Lu Li was taken aback. Blood Fairy said there were several warriors here. He didn't know that all of them were so powerful.
Was the Immortal of Sin so good at teaching apprentices?
The Immortal of Sin could tell that Lu Li was confused. He explained, "My three apprentices were sent here by my benefactor. When I came, two of them had reached the Emperor Realm and the other one had reached the Emperor Realm.
The three of them were guilty of the most heinous crimes. But they were all reformed by my benefactor. "
Lu Li nodded. He asked with curiosity, "Immortal, is your benefactor still around?
He must be a powerful warrior, right?
If he can come out, the Abyssal armies can retreat easily. "
"I don't know!"
The Immortal of Sin shook his head. "For tens of thousands of years, I have never seen him. We have been living here in seclusion and never left."
"Then …"
A bold idea came to Lu Li's mind. He asked boldly, "Is your benefactor … a woman?"
It was the Asmodian who guided Lu Li to the Holy Sky Island. The Immortal of Sin and the others hadn't left for tens of thousands of years. Outsiders could not come in either.
Therefore, Lu Li suspected that the Asmodian was the benefactor of the Immortal of Sin, that mysterious powerful warrior.
"I don't know if it's a man or a woman!"
The Immortal of Sin shook his head. "When the benefactor appeared, it was just a shadow. I could not tell what she looked like. Her abilities are unfathomable as well.
She must have become a Saint Emperor sixty thousand years ago, a very powerful one. "
"I see!"
Lu Li exclaimed. Once again, he felt that the world was not as simple as it seemed. Nobody knew about a powerful warrior like the Immortal of Sin's benefactor.
Reincarnation Emperor and the others speculated that there were no Saint Emperors in the world.
But now, there were two Saint Emperors. One of them was standing right in front of Lu Li.
"Something is not right …"
Lu Li remembered the little Taoist boy outside. Nobody had come here for tens of thousands of years. How could the little Taoist boy be so young?
Where did he come from?
Lu Li asked. The Immortal of Sin explained, "These apprentices are all from the outside. Occasionally, people would come to this island to explore.
My three apprentices were bored. Whenever they saw a talented one, they would come in and train them.
I was afraid that they would be bored, so I didn't take care of them. "
"Okay!"
Lu Li had nothing else to ask. Since the Immortal of Sin was willing to come out, then there were no more questions.
As for what Lu Li was going to do, as long as he could defeat the Abyssal Lands, he would be willing to risk his life.
Lu Li was not doing this for the greater good or for the people in the world. He just understood one thing — if the Third Heaven was destroyed, the Lu Family, Yin Family, Huo Family and Qi Family would be like stray dogs even if they could escape. They could be killed at any time.
