"Ha!"
Outside the Frigid Cloud Valley, Lu Li was ferocious beyond belief. Every time he waved his Heaven Kylin Sword, an Iron Spur Wolf would be wounded or killed.
He didn't know any Xuan Skills, so he relied on his terrifying strength and the two thousand kilogram Heavenly Kylin Blade to hack and slash.
Although this Heaven Kylin Blade was broken, it was still a peerless treasure blade. It was made of a unique material and was exceptionally sharp. It could cut through iron like mud.
Lu Li had a freakish swordsmanship. The speed of his moves was so fast that even if he was carrying the Heaven Kylin Sword that weighed more than 2000 pounds, he could make three to five moves in every breath.
Of course, he did not use his full strength when fighting the Iron Spur Wolf. Every time he slashed twice, the Iron Spur Wolf would either die or be injured.
Less than an hour!
Lu Li had killed 27 Iron Spur Wolves. He was much faster than the warriors of the Liu Family next to him. Even warriors at the peak of the Xuan Wu Realm were not as fast as him.
Hundreds of Iron Spur Wolves' corpses were piled up at the entrance of the valley. One of the warriors of the Liu Family was bitten to death and several were injured. The Iron Spur Wolves finally retreated into the valley and disappeared.
"Retreat! Clean up the battlefield!"
Liu Yi shouted in a low voice and turned into her own tent, no longer paying attention to it.
Elder Hong sent people to collect the wolf corpses to treat the injured warriors of the Liu Family.
Lu Li stepped back with his saber in his hand. The External Clan Patriarch of the Spirit Sea Realm walked over and said with a solemn expression, "Your name is Lu Li?"
Lu Li wiped off the blood on his face and nodded, "Yes, my lord!"
"I am Cai Hui, one of the External Clan Elders of the Liu Family. You can call me Elder Cai!"
The External Clan Patriarch was more than 40 years old. He was tall and sturdy, wearing the silver armor of the Liu Family. He had a long saber in his hand and looked imposing. He stared at Lu Li and said, "Come with me."
Lu Li followed Patriarch Cai to a big tent. Patriarch Cai went in and sat on the main seat. He looked at Lu Li and asked, "Punk, how much do you know about cultivation?"
Lu Li touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "Not really. I only know the realms of cultivation. I know a bit about the Xuan Wu Realm."
"Yes."
Elder Cai nodded and said, "You are now in the Xuan Wu State and have just entered the door of martial arts.
When you reach the peak of the Xuan Wu Realm, you will need to condense the Spirit Sea and break through to the Spirit Sea Realm. "
Lu Li understood. He nodded and looked at Patriarch Cai.
The latter paused for a moment, then said, "Once all the meridians in the body are opened, and the profound energy is abundant, you can use the profound energy to condense the Divine Sense Sea.
It was easy to say, but very difficult to do.
Out of a million ordinary tribe martial artists, only a thousand can successfully condense the Divine Sea. Do you know why? "
Lu Li was more than happy to have someone explain to him about cultivation. He cupped his fists and said, "I don't know. Please enlighten me, Patriarch Cai."
Lu Li's attitude made Patriarch Cai look better. He explained, "It is easy to build Spirit Sea but it can collapse easily.
Without a good technique or precious pills, the chances of successfully condensing the Deity Sea will be very low. "
Lu Li suddenly understood. Patriarch Cai stood up and continued, "As for trying to reach the Soul Pond Realm from the Spirit Sea Realm, it is even more difficult.
The Soul Pond, the Soul Pond, was a pond built in the soul. The soul was the foundation of a human being. Not to mention breaking through the realm, the soul could easily be destroyed.
Therefore, to break through to the Soul Pond Realm, precious pellets and herbs of the soul were needed.
Each of these pills and spirit herbs is worth an astronomical price, comparable to the accumulated wealth of a tribe for a hundred years. "
"The Fate Wheel Realm is about cultivating the Fate Wheel. I think you have heard about it.
One Fate Wheel for a warrior can increase his life by 500 years. A warrior at the peak of the Fate Wheel Realm has three Fate Wheels and has 1500 years of life! "
"But … you may not know this. The amount of Mystical Materials needed to cultivate one Fate Wheel is at least 30% of the wealth accumulated by the Liu Family over the years.
If three warriors of the Liu Family were to cultivate Fate Wheel, then the Liu Family would become penniless at once.
Also, the chance of the three warriors to cultivate Fate Wheel is less than 10%.
In other words, all the wealth of the Liu Family could not produce one warrior of the Fate Wheel Realm … "
"Ah?"
Lu Li was shocked. Nobody taught him about cultivation before. This was the first time he had heard of this.
He was shocked. He knew that the path of Wu Dao was difficult, but he didn't expect it to be this difficult.
How many mines, how many mountains of herbs, how many resources and wealth did the Liu Family that had dominated the Wu Ling County for 100 years have?
Only three warriors at the peak of the Soul Pond Realm could reach the Fate Wheel Realm three times?
And this was the Fate Wheel Realm. How many resources would the Eternal Realm, the Noble Lord Realm and the Human Sovereign Realm need?
Could the wealth of 1000 or even 10,000 of the Liu Family be enough?
Patriarch Cai said nothing. After Lu Li calmed down, Patriarch Cai continued, "Do you understand now?
Without the support of a Big Family, no warrior can achieve anything on his own.
When you are young, you can cultivate the fastest. But how can you get so many resources by yourself?
By the time you get enough resources, you will be old. It is almost impossible for you to reach higher realms. "
"If you want the support of a Big Family, you must be loyal to the Family.
There is no free lunch in the world. Big Families cannot waste resources on a Guest Warrior who may leave the Family at any time.
So … if you want to reach higher realms and get more power and status, you have to join the External Clan of a Family and pledge your loyalty to the Family. Do you understand? "
Patriarch Cai finally revealed his purpose after a long talk.
Lu Li understood, but he could only force a smile, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Patriarch Cai. I will think about it seriously."
Lu Li's words were clearly perfunctory. Patriarch Cai's expressions turned awful. He waved his hand and said, "Then do what you want. Later, you will be free to fight."
Lu Li walked out with his Heaven Kylin Sword in his hand. He went back to his own tent to rest and digest the shocking news brought by Patriarch Cai.
After an hour, there came another roar of Xuan Beasts from the valley. Lu Li rushed out with his saber in his hand and continued to fight.
He had just killed 27 Xuan Beasts. If everything went well, he could finish the assessment in one or two days.
By then, he could go back to the County to hand in the task. Once he entered the County, his safety would be guaranteed.
After all, he was now the Guest Warrior of the Liu Family. Di Ba could not openly attack him in the County.
This time, Liu Yi did not come out to observe the fight. Patriarch Cai did. He organized dozens of people to stop the Xuan Beasts.
It was still Iron Spur Wolves that rushed out of the valley. Lu Li was experienced in fighting this kind of Xuan Beasts. He could easily kill one Iron Spur Wolf in one or two moves. Their speed was too fast.
More than 20 Iron Spur Wolves were killed. The outside of the valley was filled with dead bodies. The wolves retreated and Lu Li retreated to take a rest.
This time, there was a long interval between the wolves. They attacked again at dusk. Lu Li went out to fight again. He was so ferocious that many Liu Family warriors had a whole new level of respect for him.
"Eighty-three!"
When the wolves retreated, Lu Li retreated with excitement in his eyes.
He had already killed 83 Iron Spur Wolves, and he was not injured at all.
If everything went well, he could finish the assessment and go back to the County tomorrow.
Lu Li's treatment had improved because of his bravery and fighting skills during the day. At night, someone brought him grilled meat and liquor.
Lu Li enjoyed a hearty meal and sat on the bed with his legs crossed to cultivate.
He was still cultivating the seventh energy channel. He had only opened up more than half of it. It would take him another day or two to completely open it up.
Lu Li cultivated until midnight. Just as he was about to go to bed, there came a noise outside along with countless wolves' howls. After a while, Patriarch Cai shouted, "Wolf King is leading a team to attack. Everyone, fight!"
"Ah …"
Just as Patriarch Cai finished his words, several miserable cries came out along with many roars of terror. Lu Li hurriedly rushed out of the tent with his Heaven Kylin Sword in his hand.
"Oh no, the line of defense is broken through!"
Lu Li looked into the distance. In the dim light of the night, he saw countless Iron Spur Wolves had rushed into the camp.
At the forefront was a huge Wolf King with a height of more than three feet. It was unstoppable. Its ferocious qi and energy enveloped the entire camp.
There were people guarding the entrance of the valley day and night. Now, it was broken through by the Wolf King.
More Iron Spur Wolves swarmed over. At this moment, there were at least more than 200 Iron Spur Wolves. The wolves in the valley were still coming.
"Block the entrance of the valley. Otherwise, if all the wolves get out, we will all die!"
Patriarch Cai roared and rushed towards the Wolf King with his saber in his hand.
Liu Yi clenched her teeth and shouted to Patriarch Hong and the others, "Someone, come with me to block the entrance of the valley!"
