The Xuan Heaven Stele had been glowing for more than a month, but Lu Li had not woken up. When the time was up, the patriarchs turned to Law Enforcement Patriarch.
"Wake him up!"
Law Enforcement Patriarch waved his hand and flew out. He had been observing Lu Li for a year and he didn't see anything wrong.
He had been trying to find where Lu Li's qi and energy was.
However, after such a long time, Law Enforcement Patriarch couldn't find where Lu Li's qi and energy was coming from.
He just had a vague feeling that the qi and energy of "Dao" seemed to be coming from Lu Li's abdomen. But apart from a pellet, there was nothing there.
Lu Li was woken up by force. The haze in front of him was gone. Gradually, the stele came into his sight. The runes on the stele stopped moving and it stopped glowing. The stele had returned to its original appearance.
The other patriarchs left as well. There was only one patriarch left. He looked at Lu Li and said, "Lu, time is up. It is time for you to go out."
"Phew, phew ~"
Lu Li exhaled. He felt sorry that he didn't fully understand the Dao in the stele.
Law Enforcement Patriarch was right. Lu Li had only scratched the surface.
If Lu Li had another 10 years, he believed that he could understand it completely.
The Yun Family was governed by an iron law. Law Enforcement Patriarch would keep his word. It was unprecedented that Law Enforcement Patriarch gave Lu Li one year. Even if Lu Li were to beg on his knees, Law Enforcement Patriarch would not give him more time to study.
Of course, there was another way, which was for Lu Li to join the Yun Family.
Even if the Yun Family did not give Lu Li time to come in, as long as Lu Li could show his value, he would have a chance to come in.
Could Lu Li join the Yun Family?
Of course not. He had to go to the Mystic Armor City to find Lu Xiaobai.
Also, he didn't want to stay in the Immortal Region for long. He wanted to go back to the Chaotic Star Region after he finished his business.
He bowed to thank the patriarch and then walked out of the Dragon Seeking Ground. Yun Yu was waiting for him outside.
Lu Li followed Yun Yu back to the yard. Zixi followed him at once. Lu Li waved his hand and asked Zixi to sit down. Then he sat with his legs crossed and began to cultivate.
He had comprehended a few things from the Xuantian Divine Stele. Many of them were vague, so he needed to stabilize them and see if he could comprehend them for a while.
Lu Li had been studying for half a month, but he did not gain much. Not being in that chaotic world seemed to be more difficult.
For half a month, Lu Li didn't learn anything. The things in his mind were still like the moon in the water, flowers in the mirror. He couldn't see them clearly, let alone grasp them.
"Sigh …"
Lu Li sighed helplessly. He didn't insist on it anymore. He recorded what he had learned and planned to find a chance to study it in the future.
Since he couldn't comprehend it, there was no need for him to stay in Cloud King City.
Lu Li thought about it and asked the steward to invite Yun Yu over. Then, he revealed that he was going to leave and he wanted to thank Patriarch of Law Enforcement in person.
Yun Yu told Lu Li to wait while he went to ask Patriarch of Law Enforcement. Two hours later, Yun Yu came and Patriarch of Law Enforcement agreed to meet Lu Li.
Once again, Lu Li was touched. Patriarch of Law Enforcement was likely to be a warrior at the consummate realm. How could a warrior of this level agree to meet a warrior of the Emperor Realm?
Somehow, Lu Li was excited.
Lu Li followed Yun Yu to a manor. Yun Yu showed Lu Li to the backyard but he didn't dare to go in. He bowed and said, "Lu, go in by yourself. We don't have the right to go in here."
Lu Li nodded and strode in. Patriarch of Law Enforcement was sitting under a tree, drinking tea. Lu Li walked over and bowed to Patriarch of Law Enforcement.
Yun Zhongyue nodded and said, "Rise and sit!"
There was a stump across the table from Yun Zhongyue. But Yun Zhongyue was hesitant to sit down. He said with respect, "Lord, you are a powerful warrior. How can I sit in front of you?"
"I told you to sit, so sit!"
Yun Zhongyue said with a straight face. Lu Li had to sit down. Patriarch of Law Enforcement pointed to the tea and said, "Pour yourself some tea."
Lu Li was nervous. This was a warrior at the consummate realm. The Grim Reaper was so powerful but there wasn't one at the consummate realm.
Yun Zhongyue was a man at the peak of the world. How could he sit with Lu Li and drink tea with him?
Powerful warriors were proud. They wouldn't lower their pride easily. Take Lu Li for example. He could be friendly but he wouldn't lose his identity. Would the Grim Reaper, a warrior at the Sixth Tribulation, lower his pride and sit with him as an equal?
Therefore, Yun Zhongyue was nervous. Fortunately, he had always been brave. He poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "I am here for two reasons. First, I want to thank you for your fairness and justice. I also want to thank you for allowing me to go to the Ancestral Land of Dragons. Second, I am here to say goodbye. I need to go to the Eastern Region."
"Okay!"
Yun Zhongyue nodded and said, "Did you find anything at the Ancestral Land of Dragons?"
"Yes!"
Lu Li didn't hide anything. He nodded and said, "I learned something from a stele but I didn't understand everything. I just scratched the surface.
I can tell that it is a very powerful Dao. Even though I only scratched the surface, I am satisfied. Thank you, Lord. "
"En!"
Lu Li didn't hide anything. After a moment of silence, Patriarch of Law Enforcement asked, "If I let you stay in there, will you?"
"Huh?"
Lu Li was taken aback. Then he smiled bitterly to himself. Yun Zhongyue's words were vague, but his meaning was clear. He was extending an olive branch on behalf of the Yun Family, trying to recruit Lu Li.
There was no such thing as gratuitous hatred or gratuitous love in this world.
Especially since the Yun Family was established by law, they naturally could not act recklessly.
Allowing an outsider to enter the Dragon Seeking Ancestral Land consecutively?
How could the martial artists of the clan be convinced by you?
Once the clan's laws were broken, the Yun Family's foundation would be damaged. Naturally, Yun Zhongyue wouldn't do such a thing.
Therefore, if Lu Li wanted to continue cultivating there, he had to join the Yun Family.
Don't say that Moon in the Cloud wanted Lu Li's help, or that he needed Lu Li to do something for him.
What did he need Lu Li to do? The person sitting across from him was likely to be at the consummate level.
What did he not have?
If Lu Li could do it, how could he not do it?
Lu Li didn't know why Moon in Yun Zhongyue valued him so much, but he still chose to refuse. He had joined the Grim Reaper. The Grim Reaper was his home. His family and friends were there too. He could not betray the Grim Reaper.
He only thought about it for a while before he said, "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness. I, Lu Li, am grateful. It is a pity that I have to go to the Eastern Region. If there is a chance in the future, I will come back to repay your kindness."
Lu Li's words were tactful, but his meaning was clear. He could not join the Yun Family now. As for the future, it would be up to fate.
Moon in Yun Zhongyue didn't show much emotion. He just nodded and said, "Go. The eastern region is dangerous. Be careful.
If you have nowhere else to go, I have a place for you here at any time. "
