Lu Li was experienced and knowledgeable, but this was the first time he had seen a palace like this. The palace was in ruins, but Lu Li felt he was looking at a miracle.
Lu Li did not move around. He continued to observe. He noticed that the cold air was coming from inside the palace. He was standing in a ruined side chamber. Behind him was a dark cave. He must have come out from this cave.
He could also see that the surrounding cold air was converging towards the entrance of the cave, and was continuously flowing into it.
"The cold air is coming from the main hall!"
Lu Li turned to the half-collapsed main hall. He saw many Divine Glyphs in many places. Though many Divine Glyphs were destroyed, there were still some that remained.
The patterns were complicated. Lu Li could not understand them after a few glances.
"Blood Fairy, go and check the divine patterns. Be careful of the cold air in the main hall. Let me know if you can't stand it!"
Lu Li let Blood Fairy out. He did not dare to act rashly. This place was dangerous. One careless move and he could lose his life here.
Therefore, it was better to check first. It was always good to be careful.
A moment later, Blood Fairy sent back a message. "Master, the divine patterns here are so strong. I have never heard of them. Unbelievable. Wow … Master, I have to stay here for a while. The divine patterns here are very useful to me.
Too strong, too strong! "
Blood Fairy was so excited that she could not speak coherently. Lu Li was even more curious. What kind of place was this if the divine patterns here were so strong?
Was this a place where those who had reached the consummate realm lived in seclusion?
But if the divine patterns here were so strong, why was the palace destroyed?
Who did it?
Was it another consummate realm?
Before Blood Fairy had a clear look, Lu Li would not take any reckless actions. He used the Trace of Dao himself and used psychic power to check the surroundings.
He noticed a problem. The space around the mountain was enveloped by a strange energy. That energy gave him a horrifying feeling, like a storm of energy. If he were not careful enough, he would be shredded into pieces.
Blood Fairy searched for half a day before she transmitted her voice, "Master, the situation here is a little complicated. Many places are dangerous, and the interior of the palace is even more dangerous. I don't understand the divine inscriptions inside, let alone decipher them.
Also, you absolutely can't go out of the mountain. The Divine Inscriptions outside are also abnormally terrifying! "
Lu Li's heart skipped a beat. Blood Fairy would never lie. She said that she could not understand the Divine Inscriptions. In that case, it would take him decades or hundreds of years to decipher the Divine Inscriptions. He could not afford the wait.
He asked and Blood Fairy pointed out some safe places. She even showed Lu Li around.
Lu Li walked around the palace and exclaimed to himself. The materials used in the palace were precious, something he had never seen before. Even though the palace had been destroyed, he could tell that the decorations here were exquisite, more than what Lu Li had ever seen.
"What realm is this?"
Lu Li looked around. All he could see was a vast expanse of fog. He could not tell what was going on.
Blood Fairy had said that they could not leave the mountain or they would be killed. Lu Li could not act rashly.
"What should we do?"
Standing outside the main hall, Lu Li was confused. He was here to find a way out. Little did he know that he would end up in such a place.
He could not go anywhere else. The main hall was filled with powerful Divine Inscriptions. He dared not to go in.
The other side halls were almost destroyed. In other words, this place was not meaningful. It would not be helpful for him to leave.
"Blood Fairy, go and study the Divine Inscriptions. See if you can decipher them.
You just need to find a way and let me in! "
Lu Li said. "If you cannot learn it in a short time, write it down as much as you can and study it later."
"I understand, master!"
Blood Fairy went back to the main hall. Lu Li sat outside and continued to study the Divine Inscriptions in the Gong Huang Ding.
He could not move forward or backward. He had to wait.
This was a mountain of treasures. He would not be happy to go back empty-handed.
"Right!"
A moment later, Lu Li remembered something. He asked Blood Fairy to set up the Divine Inscriptions at the entrance. What if the master of Rhinoceros Race found the Ice River and came in?
If that happened, Lu Li would die without knowing why while he was cultivating.
Lu Li could seal the entrance with some Divine Inscriptions. When the master of Rhinoceros Race came, Lu Li could enter the Realm of Magic at once.
When Blood Fairy was done, Lu Li began to cultivate. The swirl in his Realm of Magic kept spinning. All the cold air around was sucked into the Realm of Magic. Lu Li was not harmed at all.
Holding the Gong Huang Ding in his hand, Lu Li began to study.
Blood Fairy, on the other hand, happily entered the main hall. She wandered around the powerful Divine Inscriptions, trying to comprehend the Divine Inscriptions that she had never heard of before.
…
While Lu Li was cultivating in peace, Lord Li and the others were anxious and so were the leaders of the God of Death's branch.
Lu Li had been missing for a year. Though his jade talisman of life was still intact, there had been no news of him.
Now that the Rhinoceros Race had won, they were even more anxious.
They had some information. For example, Lu Li's last disappearance was in the Ice River. The Ice River had been sealed off for a year. The God of Death even sent some of their best scouts to the Ice River, but they were all killed by the patriarchs stationed here.
Lord Li wanted to come in person, but the Rhinoceros Race seemed to be alerted. They sent over a dozen powerful warriors. As soon as Lord Li came in, he was almost caught. He had no choice but to flee.
The headquarters of the God of Death was concerned about Lu Li's whereabouts. Lu Li was too important to the God of Death. Several leaders of the God of Death sent a message, asking them to find out as soon as possible.
If help was needed, the nine leaders would mobilize more powerful warriors to rescue him …
The headquarters of the God of Death were not the only ones concerned about Lu Li. The higher-ups of the Rhinoceros Race were concerned as well.
On the surface, there were two senior warriors guarding here and three patriarchs were lurking in the dark.
The Rhinoceros Race had stabilized the situation. The Meng Race had become the center of the storm. The Clan Leader of the Glaze Race was in closed-door cultivation.
The Clan Leader of the Rhinoceros Race had not made a move for thousands of years. Once he made a move, he could kill a warrior at the absolute realm and injure another one.
Some powerful warriors suspected that the Clan Leader of the Rhinoceros Race would not be able to live for long. That being said, nobody dared to take any action before they learned that the Clan Leader of the Rhinoceros Race was dead.
What was more, the other races were keeping an eye on the Meng Race. The territory of the Meng Race was not smaller than that of the Rhinoceros Race.
Therefore, no other races were in charge of the Rhinoceros Race. The Chief Patriarch of the Rhinoceros Race had told the race to rest and build up strength. He provided a large amount of resources to train the younger generations and enhance their abilities.
The only thing that worried the Chief Patriarch of the Rhinoceros Race was Lu Li. Recently, Lu Li had been acting strangely, which worried the Chief Patriarch even more. The Chief Patriarch was afraid that Lu Li would kill his way out, make a big fuss and ruin the good situation of the Rhinoceros Race.
"Kill Lu Li at all costs!"
This was the order given by the Chief Patriarch recently. Only with Lu Li's death could the Rhinoceros Race stabilize and have hundreds or thousands of years of development.
