Lu Li was still cultivating. He had no idea what was going on outside.
He was stuck at another key point. He could not go any further.
He had understood the process of releasing the Mirror Image Profound Meaning. He had gone through every step and every detail many times. The problem was, he just could not release that skill.
He had mastered all the sword moves of that powerful warrior. All he wanted was to imitate the form, not the spirit. However, he could not even imitate the form.
This troubled him. He felt he was stuck in a dead end and he could not get out no matter how hard he tried.
It was just like the hall at the Wicked Sorcery Mountain. He knew there were many treasures in there but there was no door.
Lu Li decided to take a break after some thoughts.
He didn't leave the cultivation room. He took out the Coffin of the Dragon King. He wanted to study it and see if he could open it and take out the treasures.
The cultivation room was large enough to put the Coffin of the Dragon King in. The cabin was too small for it.
"Buzzing ~"
The Coffin of the Dragon King appeared. Even though Lu Li didn't pour Xuan Energy into it, the coffin gave off a faint golden glare. The patterns on the coffin were elegant, simple and elegant.
Lu Li walked around the coffin for a bit and looked at the Relic weapon on the coffin.
He jumped onto the coffin and grabbed the Relic weapon. He mobilized Xuan Energy slowly, trying to pull the Relic weapon out.
However, the Relic weapon didn't move. Lu Li could not move it. It was as if the Relic weapon was a part of the coffin.
Lu Li thought about it and used Xuan Energy to control the runes to move around. He wanted to see if he could trigger the Inhibition Formation on the Coffin of the Dragon King and open it.
He tried for more than two hours but nothing happened to the coffin.
Lu Li sat with his legs crossed again. He focused on the silver dragon mark in his Soul Pond, hoping that the silver dragon mark could send him some more memory of the demon.
The silver dragon mark didn't move or send any message.
Lu Li had to use more Xuan Energy to control the runes and patterns.
One day passed …
Finally, Lu Li gave up. He could not open the Coffin of the Dragon King yet. He had to find another chance in the future.
Lu Li went back to studying the Relic Skill. Time was of the essence in cultivation. Lu Li was crazy when he was cultivating. He had no idea what was going on outside. Another five days passed.
"Boom!"
While he was sitting with his legs crossed, Lu Li suddenly felt he was suspended in the air. He opened his eyes and noticed that the Iron-armored Ship was trembling. Clearly, it was descending.
"What's the situation?"
The first thought that came to Lu Li's mind was that the Iron-armored Ship was under attack. The ship was smashed and started to fall.
His body shot up, straight for the cabin door.
As soon as he moved, he felt that something was wrong. His speed was more than ten times slower, and he felt an extremely powerful invisible force enveloping him.
He opened the cabin door and rushed out. He found that the outside was also in chaos. Countless people rushed out, their faces full of fear.
"Young Master."
Yu Huashen and Ming Yu rushed over and grabbed Lu Li. Little White was brought out as well. The three of them stood together and looked around.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
Countless people rushed out of the cabins, the deck and the walkways were filled with people. The Ling Long merchant house's guards also rushed out, and their faces were filled with shock.
The Iron-armored Ship was falling fast. The mountains down below could be seen faintly. Lu Li was shocked after he took a look.
The purple fog was rolling and there was a faint glow in the fog. The mountains in the fog were faintly visible, giving people a strange feeling as if there were huge wild beasts hiding in there.
"Don't panic. It is just a sudden increase in gravity."
A hoarse voice came out. A purple-haired old man appeared on the second deck, followed by Jiang Qiling and two other powerful old men.
The purple-haired old man frowned. He glanced over and said, "It must be the sudden change in gravity caused by the riot at the Gargoyle Mountain. I am Jiang Hao. Please trust me. I can get you out of here safely."
"Jiang Hao!"
The name put people's minds at ease. The Pavilion of Delicacy was formed by many families. The most powerful family was the Jiang Family, one of the 12 Royal Families.
Since there were powerful warriors of the Royal Family here, nothing should go wrong.
"Yu Huashen, can you fly?"
Lu Li's eyes flickered as he shouted.
Yu Huashen released his Bead of Life and enlarged it at the same time. He wanted to fly up.
However, when the Bead of Life was enlarged, he found that it was falling down as well …
"The gravity is crazy."
Yu Huashen's eyes grew colder as he said, "The gravity changes according to the realm. The more powerful one is, the greater the gravity. Now, my speed is slowed down by more than 100 times."
Ming Yu nodded. He had felt it when he was rushing over.
Lu Li's eyes grew colder. He thought quickly, wondering if someone was trying to kill him or someone from the Pavilion of Delicacy.
Or was it just bad luck?
"Whoosh ~"
The Iron-armored Ship was out of control. It was falling down quickly into the purple fog. The view around was blurred.
The speed of the Iron-armored Ship was getting faster and faster. It was out of control. Jiang Hao, the purple-haired old man, shouted, "Watch out. Pick up the elderly and children and be ready to jump off at any time."
Yu Huashen grabbed Lu Li. Many powerful warriors among the guests did the same. Jiang Hao grabbed Jiang Qiling with one hand.
"Jump!"
When the Iron-armored Ship was about to land, Jiang Hao shouted.
The shield of the Iron-armored Ship was opened. Many people jumped off the ship. Ming Yu and Yu Huashen also jumped down with Lu Li.
"Boom ~"
The castle-like Iron-armored Ship smashed into the mountain below. The Iron-armored Ship was torn into pieces. Broken pieces of wood flew all over the sky. An earth-shaking explosion came up, echoing in the mountain.
"Ouch ~"
From many places came some grunts. Some young ladies and old men were not strong enough. They had broken bones and were groaning in pain.
"Where is this?"
Lu Li was not hurt because he was carried by Ming Yu and Yu Huashen. He could even jump by himself.
He looked around and was relieved to find no Xuan Beasts or danger.
This was a barren mountain without many plants. Everything was made up of purple stones. It was as barren as the Gobi Desert.
The only thing special about this place was the purple fog. The visibility was less than 1000 feet.
"The Gargoyle Mountain!"
Yu Huashen explained but didn't say anything else.
The Gargoyle Mountain was famous but Yu Huashen didn't know the details.
"Can we fly?"
Lu Li looked at Yu Huashen. The latter released his Bead of Life and tried. He shook his head and said, "The gravity is too strong. I can only fly for a couple of feet and not far."
There was a lot of noise. There were more than 1000 passengers on the Iron-armored Ship. Of course, they were not happy about the sudden noise.
What was more, how could they move on now that the Iron-armored Ship was destroyed?
"Don't panic!"
Jiang Hao's voice was heard, "Even though the Iron-armored Ship is destroyed, the family will know soon. They will send people and Iron-armored Ships over.
This is the Gargoyle Mountain. It is dangerous. Don't wander around. Stay together.
My people will set up tents and distribute food. Please wait patiently. The Pavilion of Delicacy will give you an explanation for what happened today. "
Hearing Jiang Hao's words, the noise became much quieter.
Several stewards started to set up tents with teams of escorts to settle down the passengers on the Iron-armored Ship.
"Woo, woo ~"
Right at that moment, there came a sharp noise from the distance. It was getting closer and louder. Lu Li's expressions changed as soon as he heard it. He hugged his head and squatted on the ground, groaning.
"Soul attack!"
