Seeing how determined Lu Li was, Grand Master was a bit disappointed. Then, he seemed to be relieved.
Lu Li was only a teenager. How could he see through the mortal world and ignore the mortal world like a bunch of old farts?
Even the old guys of the Demon-slaying Hall couldn't let go, let alone Lu Li.
Grand Master frowned and drank his tea. After a while, he looked up and said, "If so, I will not force you to join the Demon-slaying Hall.
Of course … you have to deal with your own affairs. The Demon-slaying Hall cannot help you.
I can only promise you that for 10 years, the forces of the Central Plains will not trouble you.
I don't care about what happens after 10 years. "
Lu Li frowned. Grand Master had made it clear. He had given Lu Li two options.
Either he could join the Demon-slaying Hall, rebuild his soul and do everything for Lu Li.
Or, he could go back to the Northern Desert and do nothing for Lu Li. He could live on his own but he could stay alive for 10 years.
The two options were not ideal. Lu Li said after a moment of silence, "I have killed many alien races at the small battlefield and I have gained many points, right?
Can't I get the antidote for the Immortal's Perish? "
"Yes, if you didn't make such a scene!"
Grand Master looked into Lu Li's eyes calmly and said, "But not now. Many patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall will have objections.
I am the Grand Master but I cannot do things my own way. I have offended many people because of you. "
"Okay!"
Lu Li thought about it. Grand Master was telling the truth. He had humiliated Deputy Master and those behind the four forces in public. Grand Master had done enough for Lu Li.
He still wanted more, but it was indeed a bit too much.
Lu Li asked again, "Grand Master, please show me the way. I will figure out how to get the Immortal's Perish."
Grand Master thought about it for a while. He took out an ancient book from his ring, browsed through it and handed it to Lu Li, saying, "Find this elixir and you can get the Immortal's Perish."
"Bodhi Fruit!"
Lu Li took over the ancient book and glanced at it. There were pictures and explanations. Lu Li read it carefully and memorized all the information about the elixir.
Then, he gave the book back to Grand Master and bowed to thank him again.
"Alright, let's drop this matter!"
Grand Master put away the book, looked at Lu Li and said, "I will ask someone to send you out of the Demon-slaying Battleground. Cultivate well. Also … take good care of your little beast.
In 10 years, if you have thought it through and are ready to rebuild your soul, you can go back to the Demon-slaying City to find me.
If you still haven't figured it out in ten years … then don't come looking for me. "
Lu Li nodded. Grand Master waved his hand. A man covered in black armor suddenly appeared nearby.
He said nothing after he showed up. He grabbed Lu Li and walked toward a hall.
Lu Li looked back at Grand Master and pursed his lips. He was taken into a castle.
There was a Teleportation Formation in the castle. The black-armored man led Lu Li in and they were teleported away soon.
"Buzz!"
When Lu Li was teleported away, the space next to the stone pavilion trembled. Then, Patriarch of Law Enforcement came out from thin air.
Grand Master seemed to know that Patriarch of Law Enforcement was coming. He didn't even look at him. Grand Master of Law Enforcement was drinking tea by himself. Patriarch of Law Enforcement stood outside with respect and said nothing.
After a while, Grand Master turned to Patriarch of Law Enforcement and said, "Tang Ying, your great-grandson has the same temperament as you. But he is more talented than you.
It is a pity that he doesn't want to rebuild his soul or else … he could ascend to heaven. "
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was moved. After a while, he asked in a deep voice, "Is there a special meaning behind the scriptures on the statue?"
"Of course!"
Grand Master nodded and said, "If there is no special meaning, why would I come out to protect Lu Li?
Don't ask about the details. This is the top secret of the Demon-slaying Hall. Only the Grand Master has the right to know.
If you can make the last step, I can pass on the position of Grand Master to you. Then you will have the right to know. "
"Um …"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was even more shocked. It was not because Grand Master said he would pass on the position.
It was because of the special meaning behind Grand Master's words.
From Grand Master of Law Enforcement's words, Patriarch of Law Enforcement could tell that it was all because of Lu Li that the statue of Emperor of Heaven Reverse was acting strangely.
In other words — Emperor of Heaven Reverse purposely passed down the decree to protect Lu Li.
Unfortunately, Grand Master didn't want to talk about this further. He believed that apart from Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Grand Master and the others wouldn't say anything to reveal the truth.
After some thoughts, Patriarch of Law Enforcement asked, "If so, how about I send a message to the Lu Family and ask them to train Lu Li well?
Let him use all the resources of the Lu Family? "
"No!"
Grand Master waved his hand and said, "You don't have to do anything. Let him run his own course."
"Ah?"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was surprised. Lu Li was so talented that even Emperor of Heaven Reverse was alarmed. How could Grand Master let Lu Li run his own course?
Without the resources from a major family, no matter how talented Lu Li was, he could hardly achieve anything great.
"Send my message. Just protect Lu Li for 10 years!"
Grand Master said, "I gave him two choices. Either he can rebuild his soul and stay at the Demon-slaying Hall or he can run his own course. He chose the second!"
Seeing that Patriarch of Law Enforcement still didn't understand, Grand Master continued after a pause, "To become a powerful warrior, one must either abandon worldly affairs, cut off relationships and focus on cultivation.
Or one must enter the mortal world, go through hardships and rise up in adversity.
Swords are sharpened through trials and plum blossoms are fragrant. Back in the days, Emperor of Heaven Reverse made it on his own.
If we were to help him with everything, we would be harming him. "
"I will protect him for 10 years. After 10 years, the four forces will be able to avenge themselves. By then, if Lu Li cannot stand up to the four forces, then he is destined to fall.
Without pressure and suffering, there will be no motivation and his potential cannot be stimulated. "
"Some people can only grow at the fastest speed in adversity. Lu Li is one of them.
The greater the pressure, the greater the rebound. We must send a message to the Pavilion of Delicacy and tell them not to take care of Lu Li for 10 years.
Whether he will emerge from the cocoon like a butterfly, rise to the sky like a flood dragon or sink into oblivion forever, it all depends on himself. "
With that said, Grand Master walked to a castle. At the entrance of the castle, he looked back and saw that Patriarch of Law Enforcement was still frowning. Grand Master said coldly, "Black Eagle, you have rebuilt your soul. The Lu Family has nothing to do with you anymore.
If you are still entangled in these trifling matters, you will never be able to find peace of mind and you will be stuck here for the rest of your life.
Children will have their own fortune. Everything has its own destiny. When it is time to let go, let it go. "
Patriarch of Law Enforcement was ashamed. He bowed to Grand Master and said, "Thank you, Grand Master, for your advice. Black Eagle understands."
Grand Master had gone in but Patriarch of Law Enforcement's frown was still there.
It was true that he had rebuilt his soul but the Lu Family were his descendants after all. Many of them had the same blood running in their veins. How could he let it go so easily?
"Someone!"
