In the decades that followed, Lu Li began to wander around. Astro Emperor and Blood Emperor didn't go with him.
Sometimes … he would even take his wives and concubines out to wander around. Now that he had gained the recognition of the Asmodian, he was invincible below the level of an almighty god. He was fearless now, not to mention the middle realm masters.
He had "Strength of Creation", which was the name he gave to this energy. Not even the Asmodian had seen this energy, which meant that it did not exist in this world.
With so many kinds of energy mixed together and smelted by the Dharma Realm, this energy must be unique in this world. Therefore, he named it himself.
Many kinds of energy were nurtured by the Strength of Creation. Lu Li called this energy the Strength of Creation.
There was a lot of Strength of Creation. Just a little bit was enough to form the Shield of Creation. Lu Li was not worried about consumption. He could use it freely and it would last him for thousands of years.
The only one that could threaten Lu Li in this world was the middle realm master and, of course, the four almighty gods.
That being said, almighty gods usually wouldn't do anything to non-almighty gods. It would be beneath their dignity unless Lu Li took the initiative.
Following the Asmodian's instructions, Lu Li went around to look for strange small worlds to observe. Therefore, this trip was almost safe. That was why he often took his wives and concubines to wander around.
He did this so that they wouldn't be worried or bored.
Of course, sometimes, Lu Li would stay in a universe for a long time. He would meditate for years. His wives and concubines would go with him for a few times and then they would be too lazy to go with him.
Lu Li was in a small world recently, a small one in the Tian Cun Galaxy. From this small world, he entered a small world.
This small world was strange. It was as if it was still in chaos. The rules of this world were not complete. In many places, space could collapse at any time.
In the old days, Lu Li wouldn't have dared to come here. This small world was dangerous. Not even a warrior at the consummate realm dared to stay here forever.
This small world could collapse at any time. Who dared to stay here?
There were no treasures in this small world, not even elixirs. What was the point of coming here?
Lu Li had been here for several years. He was not afraid of collapse.
He had the Strength of Creation to protect him. Even if the small world were to collapse, the Strength of Creation could protect him. He could survive the force of space and escape from cracks in space.
Lu Li found the small world miraculous. The small world was not improving or growing. Instead, it was moving toward destruction.
This world was constantly declining, and it was already praiseworthy that it hadn't been destroyed yet.
The world's Spirit Qi was continuously dissipating, and the world's elements were also continuously flowing away. Some of the laws were collapsing, and it felt as if the world's vitality was continuously dissipating. It was as if a person was slowly dying.
When the Spiritual Qi completely dissipated and the Laws completely collapsed, this place would become a wasteland.
"It seems like many wasteland realms are born this way …"
Lu Li murmured. There were many deserted universes in this world. He used to think that those universes were destroyed by powerful warriors. Now, it seemed that this was not the case.
This small world did not show any signs of being attacked. It was a problem of its own. Before it could grow, it was already heading towards destruction.
It was like a child who had contracted a terminal illness before growing up and was slowly walking towards death.
Lu Li had been exploring here for several years to find out the reason for the decline of this world. He believed that finding out the reason would be helpful to the growth of his Realm of Dharma.
He wandered around the world slowly. Occasionally, the space around him would tremble violently. Sometimes, there would be a crack. Other warriors would have run away in fear.
Lu Li ignored it. His eyes were still closed as if he were taking a stroll in his own backyard. He used the trace of Dao to sense the surroundings, to find out what was wrong here and to explore the hidden secrets in heaven and earth.
…
Time flew by. Another three hundred years had passed.
Lu Li had left that small world a long time ago. He did not find the answers he was looking for. Maybe he had found something, but it was not as clear as before.
Before he could explore further, that small world collapsed. He had to leave and look for other universes.
During the three hundred years, he had traveled to almost the entire world. He had been to countless universes, secret areas, and dangerous places.
He saw many strange things. He saw many universes that were still in chaos and many that had been destroyed.
He had the Divine Concealment Technique, the Heavenly Eye, and powerful strength. Ordinary warriors couldn't sense him at all.
He would stay away from a perfect warrior. If a perfect warrior came close, he would release some Origin of Ice and Snow to scare them away. Nobody could see him and he rarely showed himself in public.
After three hundred years, he did not find the answer he wanted. The Realm of Dharma didn't change much. Apart from the fact that it was hundreds of times larger and became a world comparable to a small universe, nothing else changed.
In these three hundred years, he had absorbed a lot of energy. He did not go to the Dark Realm to absorb the energy from the Dark Realm and convert it into the Power of All Living Things. Right now, the Power of All Living Things was already enough for him to use.
In the past three hundred years, he had seen a lot and comprehended a lot of things. However, those things were very messy, like a plate of paste, a complete mess.
Lu Li's mind was in a mess. He could not put his thoughts in order.
At the moment, he was in a secret area in the Chaotic Star Region. He was sitting in an ocean of sand. The wind was howling and swirls were formed.
Lu Li had been cultivating here for three years. There were some strange things here. When Lu Li came here, he felt something was off. Therefore, he decided to stay here to study.
More than a dozen days later, Lu Li suddenly felt something in his soul. Then, he looked up. Above his head, Xuan Qi in heaven and earth gathered together and some auspicious clouds appeared.
The auspicious clouds glowed in seven colors, lighting up the entire world.
"What …"
Lu Li was dumbfounded. Why were there auspicious clouds all of a sudden?
Or were they appearing in the entire world? Something big must have happened for such a large scale of auspicious clouds.
Lu Li was sure that he was not the one who created the auspicious clouds. After the time for a few breaths, he flew up and dashed out.
Soon, he was out of the universe. He was taken aback by what he saw. The universe outside was also covered in auspicious clouds. It was a shocking sight.
Lu Li thought about it. He left quickly. At a city, he teleported to the Family Patriarch of the universe. Using their Teleportation Formation, he went to a nearby universe.
"Just as I thought …"
When he arrived, he saw that this universe was also covered in auspicious clouds. Without any hesitation, he dashed out of the universe in excitement. He took the Specter Ship and flew toward the Fire Empress Universe as fast as he could.
Since this was happening in two universes, then all universes should have auspicious clouds. There could only be one explanation — an Almighty Immortal had come into being.
It was not easy for an Almighty Immortal to come into being.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for an Almighty Immortal to come into being. Lu Li suspected that Qianye Zixi had made a breakthrough and become the new Almighty Immortal.
The Demon King once said that once an Almighty Immortal was born, the laws of heaven and earth in the entire universe would resonate. Since an Almighty Immortal could control the laws of heaven and earth, it was highly likely that Qianye Zixi would become one.
