Lu Li was in a small hall, one that was exactly the same as the one he was in before.
This small hall also had a desk, a door, and a teleportation array.
The only difference was that there was a scroll beside the wooden box on the table. It was quietly placed on the table and Lu Li could see it at a glance.
"Hu hu!"
After seeing the scroll, Lu Li let out a long sigh of relief. He knew that he had made the right bet. All of his guesses were correct.
Naturally, Emperor Heng's treasures should be given to the destined ones. Otherwise, Lu Li and the others would not have been able to enter that small hall.
Since Emperor Heng had given Lu Li hope, he would not let Lu Li lose all hope. Emperor Heng was not a senseless man. Therefore, Lu Li chose to continue to touch the black wooden box.
According to common sense, after the first person was killed, the second person would definitely not dare to touch it. This required a lot of courage, and it was a gamble with one's life.
Emperor Heng probably wanted people who were not afraid of death. If a martial artist was even afraid of death, then this martial artist would definitely not be able to go far.
The path of the Martial Dao was to defy the heavens and change one's fate. Along the way, one would encounter the dangers of death many times.
As long as he retreated even once, he might never be able to reach the peak in his life.
Emperor Heng, who was able to become a god, must have encountered countless life and death situations in his life. He definitely did not like people who were afraid to move forward.
Lu Li took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He carefully walked to the desk and looked at the scroll.
There were words on the scroll, written in the ancient language. There weren't many words, only dozens of them. Lu Li was overjoyed after reading them.
"Wicked Bead!"
That was the first three words on the scroll. Clearly, it was an introduction to the treasure in the box. The latter part did introduce the origin and usage of the Wicked Bead, as well as some instructions.
According to the characters, the Wicked Bead was a piece of treasure Emperor Heng obtained in the Divinity.
The bead had many magical uses, but Emperor Heng had sealed six layers of it. One needed to reach a certain level of strength to gradually open the seals.
After opening the seal, he would be able to know the specific uses of this bead.
"A divine artifact!"
Lu Li's breaths were short. It was not stated on the scroll that it was a Relic, but it was something obtained from the Divinity. It was highly possible that it was a Relic.
Emperor Heng had placed six seals on the bead, which meant that the bead was very heaven-defying.
He was afraid that the person who obtained it would not be able to control it, so he sealed some of its uses.
Of course, Emperor Heng might have some other concerns, but no matter what, this bead was definitely a heaven-defying treasure.
Otherwise, Emperor Heng wouldn't have gone to the extent of sealing six layers!
This time, Lu Li had no more concerns. He reached out and grabbed the wooden box.
He easily opened the wooden box. His gaze swept across and locked onto a green bead the size of a pigeon egg.
This was a very ordinary bead. There were no colors on it, no mysterious runes, and no aura flowing around it. It felt like a small green round stone.
"Wicked Bead!"
The name was similar to that of the Wicked Lord he met in the Prison of Gold. Lu Li took over the bead and observed it carefully.
He was sure that there was nothing special about this bead. Even if he threw it outside, no one would pick it up.
Refine!
Lu Li didn't think about Leng Wuxin. He didn't think about going out or entering the inner hall.
He sat on the spot with his legs crossed, surrounded the bead with Xuan Energy and began to dissolve the Wicked Bead.
"Buzz!"
The Wicked Bead glowed in a feeble white light. Lu Li felt refreshed. The Wicked Bead seemed to be easy to take control of.
Just like with Quasi Relics, he only needed to pour Xuan Energy in and the bead would be completely dissolved when it glowed.
Lu Li focused on the process. Nothing was more important than the bead.
If the bead was a Relic, then all his problems would be solved. Even if he could leave the Leng Dynasty, he wouldn't have to be afraid with a Relic in his hand.
His original plan was to capture many young masters and young ladies to threaten the families to attack the Leng Dynasty. But now, he had to worry about the Wicked Bead first.
Two hours, four hours, 10 hours!
After 10 hours, Lu Li opened his eyes, feeling a headache.
He could feel that the bead was being dissolved. But … the process seemed to be slow, so slow that he wanted to vomit blood.
Now that he poured Xuan Energy in, the bead was glowing a bit brighter than before.
But it was only a bit. He had spent 10 hours and only a little bit was gone?
"Maybe my realm is too low, and the Relic is harder to take control of."
Lu Li comforted himself. He told Leng Wuxin and the Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warriors outside the wind cave to wait for further instructions.
Then, he took some soul-nurturing pellets and began to cultivate Xuan Energy while taking control of the bead. At the same time, he studied the Soul Shattering Skill.
"What?"
Once he started cultivating, Lu Li found that the Xuan Qi in the small hall was much richer than that in the wind cave. Cultivating here was faster than using any treasured materials.
"This is the outer hall. What about the main hall?
How fast will the cultivation be? "
Lu Li was intrigued. Soon, he shook his head.
A man who was never content was like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. His realm was too low. He could not enter the main hall. Even if he could, he could not get the Relic weapon and armor.
Would Emperor Heng let a Noble Lord Realm warrior have the Relic weapon and armor?
Even if he did, it would be taken away soon. Emperor Heng would not allow his Relic to be fought over.
Lu Li hadn't taken control of the Wicked Bead yet. He was not ambitious enough. He focused on cultivating and taking control of the Wicked Bead.
One day, five days, 10 days!
The Wicked Bead was glowing, which meant that the Wicked Bead was being taken control bit by bit.
That being said … the speed was slow. Lu Li had been working for 10 days and he felt that he had only consumed less than one-twentieth of the Wicked Bead.
In other words, it would take Lu Li 200 days to completely take control of the Wicked Bead?
Two hundred days would be more than six months. By then, he would have been teleported out.
Lu Li frowned. He increased the output of Xuan Energy to speed up the process. After all, cultivating Xuan Energy here was too fast.
He had been cultivating in the Forbidden Ground of Elder God for a while and he was about to reach the middle stage of the Noble Lord Realm.
At the Noble Lord Realm, there was no need to build another Fate Wheel or Bead of Life. The Bead of Life only needed to be refined.
Every time a warrior at the Noble Lord Realm cultivated, the Bead of Life would be smaller. The smaller the Bead of Life was, the higher the realm.
At the peak of the Noble Lord Realm, the Bead of Life would be smaller than it was at the initial stage. But the Bead of Life would be more solid and indestructible.
Also, the warrior would be more in tune with heaven and earth. It would be easier for the warrior to learn Profound Meanings through the Bead of Life.
Lu Li didn't have the time to reach the middle stage of the Noble Lord Realm. He planned to continue his cultivation and take control of the Wicked Bead.
In a month, the Bead of Life would be more compact. By then, he could try to reach the middle stage of the Noble Lord Realm.
It only took Lu Li five days to take control of the Quasi Relic. Six layers of the Bead were sealed. Now, it would take him several months?
Lu Li would never believe that this was not some kind of treasure.
What would be the use of the Bead after he took control of it?
Lu Li was looking forward to it.
"A Relic …"
