The Saintess of the Drifting Cloud Hall was too low-key, which troubled Lu Li and the others.
Two of the three cities might have Human Sovereign Realm warriors. They would be exposed if they went in at random.
Lu Li was here to take the Saintess. How could they do that without finding her?
Before they met Lu Ling, they could not reveal their identities. Otherwise, powerful warriors of the entire Clouds Plains might come and kill them.
The Drifting Cloud Hall and the three forces might stop fighting. God of Meng must be killed first. After all, God of Meng was an alien race, a public enemy of the human race.
There was no other way!
Lu Li had to wait. He asked Ye Cha and the others to keep searching while he waited for news of the Saintess.
Fortunately, Ke Mang's illusion was strong. Lu Li and the others didn't have to worry about being discovered. They could rest and cultivate leisurely.
Lu Li understood that he could not be in a hurry. If he were alone, it wouldn't matter.
But now, he was with God of Meng, Ye Cha, and Ke Mang. If he acted recklessly, he could get them killed.
Ye Cha told Third Patriarch to stay in the cave and he went out by himself. This time, he didn't catch any scouts. He wanted to check the small cities or find a way to sneak into the three major cities.
It was risky. Lu Li warned him not to be impulsive and to be careful.
If it was not feasible, he could give up. After all, the armies of the three forces hadn't arrived yet. There was still time and opportunity.
Ye Cha nodded and left. Lu Li was not worried about him as long as he didn't take risks. Ye Cha had reached the later stage of the Noble Lord Realm. Apart from Human Sovereign Realm warriors, nobody could stop him.
It seemed that Ye Cha would be gone for a long time. Lu Li thought he might as well cultivate and study the Soul Shattering Skill at the same time.
He had learned the Soul Shattering Skill successfully. But he didn't know its specific power since he had never fought against a powerful enemy.
Of course, the Soul Shattering Skill was not enough to deal with Human Sovereign Realm warriors unless Lu Li could increase the vibration waves by a lot.
God of Meng gave Lu Li a good idea. Unfortunately, it was hard to carry it out unless he could learn a Profound Meaning and integrate it perfectly.
"What kind of Profound Meaning can increase the vibration waves?"
Lu Li was having a headache. Profound Meanings were something that could only be discovered by luck. To force one to learn Profound Meanings was even more difficult.
"Activate the force in heaven and earth to increase my strength?
Or compress my strength?
Explode after entering the body? "
"Ming Yu's Shi can activate the Power of Heaven and Earth. However, the Power of Heaven and Earth is not completely under my control. Can it be turned into a shockwave and enter the enemy's body?"
"Compressing the power and sending it into the enemy's body is even more difficult.
How can power be compressed? And how can soul power be compressed? "
The more Lu Li thought about it, the more difficult it became. God of Meng pointed out a way for him but Lu Li felt it was a long and bumpy road. To reach the end was too difficult.
He couldn't release the Barbarian God Cauldron here, and Little White couldn't refine its body. Feeling bored, it took a nap in the corner after swallowing a few soul crystals.
God of Meng seemed to be sitting with his legs crossed. God of Meng could not tell if he was cultivating or resting. Ke Mang could not afford to be careless. He kept an eye on the surroundings and the formation of illusion.
…
Time was of the essence in cultivation. Lu Li had been cultivating for six days. Ye Cha hadn't come back since he left. Lu Li didn't know where he went.
God of Meng, on the other hand, was not in a hurry. Third Patriarch wanted to go and find Ye Cha but he couldn't do so without Lu Li's order.
Lu Li ate something after he woke up, asked around and then fell asleep. He went back to cultivation after he woke up.
Before Ye Cha could figure out what was going on, there was nothing they could do.
Third Patriarch didn't go out so they were in the dark. They had to wait for Ye Cha to come back. Another five days passed before Lu Li came out.
He had built up some Xuan Energy but not much progress in the Soul Shattering skill.
Lu Li decided to give it up for now. He decided to have a real fight.
God of Meng opened his eyes slightly when he heard that Lu Li wanted to go out and fight. Then he closed his eyes again without saying anything. Third Patriarch stood up and said, "Saint Lord, let me go with you. We can look after each other."
"Okay!"
Lu Li thought about it. It would be more convenient with Third Patriarch around. He nodded to Ke Mang and walked out with Little White.
Lu Li once killed many condemned prisoners to try out the Soul Shattering skill.
However, those condemned prisoners were just standing there, waiting for him to kill them. Their abilities were too weak to be counted as real fights.
An attack-type Secret Technique could only improve faster in actual combat.
Outside the cave, Lu Li said to Third Patriarch, "Just follow me. If I alarm the enemies nearby when I fight, you keep them busy. Do not let them run away."
There shouldn't be many powerful warriors on Mount Mist. Lu Li wouldn't be afraid even if there were warriors at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm. Noble Lord Realm warriors posed no threat to him.
Also, he had to find warriors of the Noble Lord Realm so that he could better practice the Soul Shattering skill.
Third Patriarch was a bit worried. After all, Lu Li was only at the initial stage of the Eternal Realm. Would he be in danger if he ran into warriors at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm?
That being said, Third Patriarch didn't say anything on the thought of Ye Cha's evaluation of Lu Li's abilities. He had to follow Lu Li secretly.
Lu Li didn't hide his tracks but he didn't move too fast in case he would attract too many scouts.
He carried the divine weapon of Dragon King on his back and swaggered around. At the same time, he released his psychic power to check the surroundings.
In the time for two incense sticks to burn, Lu Li found a scout who was hiding underground and using disguise skill.
If Lu Li's psychic power was not strong enough, he would have to get closer to find the scout.
"Middle stage of the Eternal Realm?
Good! "
Lu Li tried to sense and pretended that he didn't see the scout. He swaggered on.
Third Patriarch had already noticed the scout. He wanted to warn Lu Li but Lu Li waved his hand behind him, clearly telling him not to move.
"Bang ~"
When Lu Li was more than 300 feet away from the scout, the ground suddenly burst open. A man with a dagger in his hand came at Lu Li from the ground like a poisonous snake.
"Ha, ha!"
Lu Li smiled. He drew the divine weapon of Dragon King from his back calmly and cut at the man's dagger.
The man's dagger was just an average Xuan Artifact. It was broken by Lu Li at once. The divine weapon of Dragon King went on and landed on the man's head.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the man's body trembled but he wasn't smashed away. He just fell to the ground.
Then he started to bleed from his eyes, ears, nose and mouth but his head didn't explode.
Third Patriarch, who was behind Lu Li, used psychic power to check. He nodded to himself. He was too nervous just now. Lu Li was really powerful. For Lu Li, killing an Eternal Realm warrior was as easy as killing a chicken.
"Too weak …"
Lu Li stomped on the man's head so that nobody would notice. He put away the divine weapon of Dragon King and moved on.
After the time for one incense stick to burn, Lu Li found another scout who had just sneaked over from the distance.
Lu Li pretended to hide in the bushes and waited for the scout.
"Whoosh ~"
Before the scouts arrived, Third Patriarch sneaked over and said nervously in a low voice, "Saint Lord, there are four scouts from the Drifting Cloud Hall and one of them is at the Noble Lord Realm. Shall we retreat now?"
"Back off for what?"
Lu Li said with excitement, "Kill them all. You go to the side and observe the situation.
I will take down that Noble Lord Realm warrior later. Search his soul and see if you can find anything. "

PS: He had a high fever last night and he is still on an IV today. Miserable!
