Dong Ling City!
Dong Ling City was a big city at the Southern Region, occupied by a super force. The city had been under their control for more than 10,000 years and it was a stable place.
The force was powerful and it was said that they had something to do with the King of the Southern Region. Therefore, few forces dared to come and take over the Dong Ling City.
Today, a warrior came to the Dong Ling City. He was an inconspicuous Emperor Realm warrior and an old man.
There were so many Emperor Realm warriors that no one paid attention to him. The old man entered the Dong Ling City easily.
He wandered around the city and soon found a castle. It was a large chamber of commerce.
This chamber of commerce belonged to the super force. They had battleships that were used to escort warriors but they were expensive.
This old man was Lu Li in disguise. As soon as he went in, a maid came to greet him. She didn't belittle him just because he was an Emperor Realm warrior. She asked Lu Li if he needed anything.
When Lu Li said he wanted to take a battleship, the maid showed him to a side chamber where an old man was sitting.
The old man was also polite. He asked, "Where do you want to go?"
"Cloud King City!"
Lu Li told him his destination. Cloud King City was the largest city at the east of the Southern Region. Beyond Cloud King City was the eastern region.
This was the southernmost part of the Southern Region. Cloud King City was the easternmost part of the Southern Region. It was a long way. If everything went smoothly, they could get there in more than half a year.
"Cloud King City?"
The old man nodded. He threw a map to Lu Li and said, "There are two routes. The prices are different and the safety is different as well. Please take a look."
Lu Li took it over and read it carefully. One of the two routes was longer and the other was shorter. The longer route would require a detour to go to the central region first and then to the eastern region.
The other route was more direct but the prices were different. One would cost 100 billion Celestial Stones and the other would cost 500 billion. The shorter route was more expensive.
The old man explained, "The shorter route is faster. It will only take half a year. Also, the battleship is small and there are not many passengers. Therefore, the price is higher.
This battleship has three powerful warriors that are very close to the Absolute Realm. Relatively speaking, it will be safer. But we cannot guarantee absolute safety. "
Lu Li asked, "How long will the other battleship take? How safe is it?"
The old man explained, "The other battleship will take a year, and the safety is the same. No one knows what will happen. You also know that no place in the Immortal Realms is safe."
Lu Li nodded and said, "I will take the shortest route. When do we leave?
How do I pay for the celestial stones? "
"We'll depart in about a month!"
The elder explained, "In terms of celestial stones, you will have to pay 200 billion celestial stones first. You will have to pay another 200 billion celestial stones halfway. You will have to pay the remaining celestial stones when you arrive at the Cloud Monarch City."
"Very reasonable!"
Lu Li nodded in satisfaction. This was a very conscientious person.
Lu Li had no reason to hesitate. He handed over 200 billion celestial stones without hesitation.
He had a lot of celestial stones. Yu Yang gave him some, and the Second Palace Lord gave him a lot. Before he left, the Second Palace Lord gave him a lot of celestial stones.
Therefore, Lu Li didn't mind even if the 200 billion celestial stones were swindled. Such a big force wouldn't be so reckless.
After all, once there was negative news about them, nobody would believe them anymore.
Lu Li handed over the celestial stones and got a token. He found a tavern to stay in and started closed-door cultivation, waiting for the day of departure.
The city was lively and there were many strange places. But Lu Li was not in the mood to wander around. The Eastern Spirit City was a complicated place where accidents could easily happen.
"I wonder how Mo Qianqian, Luan Xi, Yu Yang and the others are going to be."
The faces of the three people appeared in Lu Li's mind. He felt a bit melancholy.
Mo Qianqian and Luan Xi were two delicate beauties. If they were targeted by some powerful warrior, it would be very likely that something bad would happen to them.
Even though Mo Qianqian and Luan Xi were like fish in water and they didn't have too many feelings for each other, Lu Li was a man who valued friendship. There was some truth in the saying that time breeds affection.
However, he had left. It was pointless to think too much. He couldn't do anything about it even if he wanted to. It was up to their own fate.
Also, he was not omnipotent. He couldn't fight against powerful warriors who were infinitely close to the complete achievement.
Now that he had chosen to come to the Immortal Region, he had to be responsible for his own actions.
Lu Li's journey was full of dangers. He had better think about himself.
He stopped thinking and started closed-door cultivation. Soon, more than a month had passed.
Two days before the departure, Lu Li stopped cultivating. He went out to collect information. He spent a lot of celestial stones and bought a lot of information.
It was about the road between the Eastern Region and the Southern Region.
However, the information was not very useful because the situation could change at any time. Maybe the information that was just received would change again in a few days.
Take the Southern Region as an example. There were several famous demon dens along the way where some powerful old demons lived. But who knew if there were still old demons living in those caves?
What if those old demons had moved to another place?
Those old demons wouldn't stay in one place for a long time because … they had too many enemies.
The mobility of powerful warriors in the Immortal Region was too strong. Take the Chaotic Yang City for example. When all the powerful warriors ran away, they would find another place and rise again.
Since they wanted to rise again, there must be some small forces that were destroyed by them or driven away by them.
The powerful warriors that were driven away would go to another place.
There were also some old demons that wandered around. They were destructive and had a violent personality.
Every place they went, they would burn, kill, and loot. Soon, they would attract the attention of nearby forces. In the end, they would be driven away or killed after staying for a while.
After a few days of investigation, the time was up. Lu Li went to the castle and was arranged to go outside the city.
There were already hundreds of warriors waiting there. Most of them were Saint Emperors. Only a few were at the Emperor Realm. There were also a few young masters and young ladies with guards.
Inside, there was a little girl who looked like she was carved out of jade. She was accompanied by a few guards.
Most of these hundreds of warriors were from strange races. There were also a few humans. In the Immortal Region, humans were rare, but there were still some.
After waiting for a few more hours, hundreds of warriors arrived. The powerful warriors of the Eastern Spirit City had arrived as well. There were three experts that were infinitely close to the Great Perfection Realm and five Saint Emperors.
A Saint Emperor took out a warship. The warship wasn't big, but it was obviously a very high-class warship.
The three experts that were infinitely close to the Great Perfection Realm flashed and entered the top floor.
The warship had two floors. There weren't many cabins on the top floor, but there were more than a thousand cabins on the bottom floor. Lu Li and the others lined up and went up. Each warrior was given a cabin.
"Don't leave the cabin if you don't have anything to do. Don't use your divine senses to check. If anything happens, we will inform you immediately!"
A Saint Emperor's voice sounded in the minds of Lu Li and the others. "If you encounter Sudden Thunder or Nightmare Night, then everyone can only pray for the best. We can't help you with these things. Alright, let's go!"
The warship flashed and turned into a stream of light. Soon, it disappeared into the eastern sky.
