Lu Li was not in the Xumi Space. He was cultivating in the Realm of Magic. He had lost track of time because he had been cultivating.
He had planned to leave in half a year. It had been almost a year.
Recently, he had been studying the laws in the Gong Huang Ding and he had made some progress. At this rate, he would achieve great success.
It was easy to lose track of time in cultivation. Lu Li had decided to stay in the Realm of Magic for a while.
Another month passed. Finally, Lu Li stopped cultivating. He had reached a bottleneck in studying the laws in the Gong Huang Ding. He had to stop.
The first thing he did was to check the Realm of Magic. There were some changes. He took a look around and fell asleep. It had been a long time since he could relax. He planned to rest for a couple of days.
After sleeping for three days, Lu Li woke up. He calculated the days and realized that he had been in there for almost a year.
Theoretically speaking … the master of the Rhinoceros Race would not be waiting outside.
The Liu Race and the Meng Race should be attacking.
The master of the Rhinoceros Race must have gone back.
Lu Li thought about it and used the trace of great Dao to check outside. Even if the master of the Rhinoceros Race was waiting nearby, he could not go into the Realm of Magic to kill Lu Li.
After a while, Lu Li was surprised. He realized that the cave entrance was sealed off by runes. The Ice River Valley was filled with venom?
There were many more runes outside the Ice River Valley. There were three or four seals.
Somehow, Lu Li was relieved to see this. Clearly, the Ice River Valley was here to prevent him from running away.
In other words, the master of the Rhinoceros Race was not here. Otherwise, why would there be such a need?
Of course, it was possible that the master of the Rhinoceros Race was trying to lure Lu Li out.
Venom did not matter. Lu Li was not afraid of it. Instead, he could absorb it and use it as a weapon to kill people.
It did not matter how many runes there were. Blood Fairy could crack them all.
More importantly, as soon as Blood Fairy cracked the formation, the two powerful warriors guarding outside would know. By then, the master of the Rhinoceros Race would come. Or, the two powerful warriors would find a way to kill Blood Fairy. In that case, it would be difficult for Lu Li to crack the formation on his own.
"How can I get out?"
Lu Li was troubled. As long as he could escape, he would not make the same mistake again. He would not give the master of the Rhinoceros Ape Race a chance to trap him.
He continued to search the cave to see if the Rhinoceros Ape Tribe King was hiding inside.
Lu Li did not find anything after a couple of hours. He said to Blood Fairy, "Go and set up a formation to cover the caves nearby. See if there are any living beings in hiding."
"Xiu!"
Lu Li dashed out. Blood Fairy flew out and Lu Li went back to the Dharma Realm.
He had been sensing his surroundings the whole time, but he didn't find anything out of the ordinary, so he came out rashly.
Blood Fairy quickly set up the spell formation. It took her one day to set up a super spell formation.
"Buzz ~"
The formation glowed. A strange energy spread out in the cave. After a moment, Blood Fairy said directly to Lu Li's mind, "Master, as far as I can tell, there are no living beings around here."
Lu Li nodded. The next second, Blood Fairy said, "Master, psychic power is coming. It has locked onto me. I think it is the two powerful warriors outside the Ice River Valley!"
The two warriors who were infinitely close to the consummate realm opened their eyes at this moment. They were still standing on the cliff above the Ice River, gazing into the direction of the cave. They were excited. They had been waiting here for so long. Was Lu Li finally coming out?
Lu Li used the Trace of Dao to check. Unfortunately, the distance was too far for him to see the two warriors that were very close to the consummate realm.
Lu Li did not go out rashly. He thought for a while and told Blood Fairy to continue to set up the runes, defensive ones.
After spending half a day, Blood Fairy finished setting up the spell. Light curtains appeared, isolating the entire cave. There were five light curtains in total. They looked like five doors standing in the cave.
Lu Li dashed out. He released the Traceless Way so that the two Rhinoceros Ape warriors could not see him.
Lu Li stood there for a while after he came out. The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe King did not show up. Lu Li was relieved. The Rhinoceros Ape Tribe King must have left.
If the Rhinoceros Ape Tribe King was here, he would have attacked Lu Li.
Even though he was sure that the Rhinoceros Ape Tribe King was not here, Lu Li did not act rashly. It would take time to solve the runes. There were so many of them, and some of them were powerful. It would take him half a month to a month to solve them. By then, the Rhinoceros Ape Tribe King would have enough time to set up a trap and kill Lu Li.
Lu Li thought about it for a while. Eventually, he turned to the depth of the cave.
If …
If he could stand the coldness, would he have a chance to go deeper? What if there was a passageway in the depth?
Then, he would have a chance to escape.
This was a way out or a dead end. The coldness in the Ice River Valley was too cold. Even the Rhinoceros Ape Tribe King said that Lu Li could not stand it.
"Let's see!"
Lu Li told Blood Fairy to go into the interspatial artifact. He walked in slowly. At the same time, he secretly used the Realm of Magic to see if he could absorb the coldness.
Theoretically speaking, coldness was a form of energy. But the Realm of Magic could absorb all kinds of energy.
"Is it working?"
A moment later, Lu Li was overjoyed. The coldness was absorbed into his body and then he went into the Realm of Magic.
Even though the muscles in his abdomen were frozen, he could not feel the coldness anymore.
He moved slowly, faster and faster …
"What?"
The two Rhinoceros Ape warriors had been checking. They could not find Lu Li but they did notice something strange.
They noticed the runes Blood Fairy had built and the change in the coldness in the Ice River Valley. All of the coldness was moving toward one direction and then … they all disappeared.
It was as if all the coldness in the cave was gathering toward the center and then vanishing without a trace.
Lu Li moved on quickly. The coldness in the cave was becoming more and more horrifying. But it did not affect him. His blood was flowing, and he could use his source energy. His soul was fine.
All the coldness had been absorbed by the Realm of Magic and condensed into a mass.
Thirty miles, two hundred and fifty miles, three hundred miles!
The two Rhinoceros Ape warriors could no longer sense him. Lu Li had gone too deep into the cave. They could only faintly sense the movement of the coldness. The two Rhinoceros Ape warriors looked at each other, speechless. Did Lu Li go to the deepest part of the Ice River Valley?
The cave extended underground. The deeper he went, the colder it was. There was not a single ray of light in the cave.
Lu Li was nervous. If the Realm of Magic could not absorb the coldness, he would turn into an ice sculpture in an instant. His life would be frozen and he would die right away.
He felt he was walking on a cliff with an abyss on both sides. One wrong step and he could be smashed into pieces.
How long was the tunnel?
Where would it lead to?
Lu Li had no idea.
What was in the deepest part of the cave when the coldness was so horrifying?
Nothing was imaginable.
"Move!"
Now that he had come this far, Lu Li decided not to worry too much. He would see it to the end.
