The Underworld Island had collected many Mystical Materials and treasures. Zi Ji was not only the master of the Underworld Realm but also the leader of the Mermaid Race.
The Mermaid Race used to be a powerful race in the Paleo-beast Realm. When they fled to the Underworld Realm, they brought many treasures with them. Now, all of them had fallen into Lu Li's hands.
Lu Li did not care about the Mystical Materials and treasures. What bothered him was how to deal with Zi Ji.
Zi Ji would rather die than become a slave. Lu Li had to either kill her or imprison her.
He was unfamiliar with the Paleo-beast Realm and there were many things he did not know. It would be more convenient for him to bring Zi Ji along. In the end, Lu Li decided to destroy Zi Ji's cultivation.
Even though Zi Ji had taken the form of a human, she still had an internal core.
The internal core was the foundation of a Xuan Beast. Once it was destroyed, the warrior would have no Xuan Energy and many skills could not be used.
At the very least, Zi Ji could not control the dragons of water to attack or play the "Song of Mermaids". The best she could do was to use soul attacks, which posed no threat to Lu Li.
Lu Li winked at Patriarch Sun who took out a dagger and stabbed at Zi Ji's abdomen.
Zi Ji trembled. Blood oozed out from her mouth. Her eyes were filled with unforgettable hatred. She stared at Patriarch Sun as if she wanted to eat him alive.
"Hmm!"
Patriarch Sun snorted. He took out the Demon Trapping Chains and tied Zi Ji up. Lu Li nodded and put away the Dragon Demon. Then, he put Zi Ji into the outer hall of the Wicked Bead.
Jiang Qiling and the others were in the inner hall. Zi Ji could not hurt them even if she wanted to.
Zi Ji was taken. Patriarch Sun went on to loot Zi Ji's wealth. It took him more than a dozen Interspatial Rings before he turned the island upside down.
The entrance to the Paleo-beast Realm was found. It was in an underground palace under the island.
"Let's look around!"
Lu Li waved his hand. Several patriarchs flew to different directions and searched the area. Apart from finding many mermaids living on the islands, they found nothing else.
Lu Li promised not to kill the Mermaid Race. He asked Patriarch Sun and the others to come back.
They arrived at the entrance. Lu Li asked Patriarch Sun and the other patriarchs to stay and guard the entrance in case it was destroyed. He took Jiang Qiling and the others to the Ocean Land of the East and teleported back to the Demon-slaying Hall.
The war with the Feather Race was not over yet. Patriarch of Law Enforcement had gone to the Feather Land of the West and so did Ke Mang. Lu Li had to wait.
He stayed at the Demon-slaying Hall with Jiang Qiling and the others to cultivate and study the third line diagram.
A month later, Lu Li had learned another three pieces. Finally, Patriarch of Law Enforcement and the others returned to the capital.
The small world of the Feather Land of the West had been conquered and the royal family of the Feather Race had been wiped out. There was no powerful force in the Feather Land of the West that could threaten the human race anymore. Even if there were one or two Earth Immortal Realm warriors from the Feather Race hiding there, they would not be able to cause too much trouble.
"Paleo-beast Realm?"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement frowned after hearing Lu Li's explanation. He thought about it and said, "Wait a minute. I will go and do some research."
The disciplinary elder left in a hurry. After a while, he returned and said, "The ancient beasts do exist, but those are only legends.
It is said that in ancient times, the paleo-beasts dominated the Heaven Reverse Universe. Back then, humans could only be food for the paleo-beasts, like livestock in a pen … "
"But later on, it is said that the paleo-beasts angered the god. The god punished the paleo-beasts and wiped them out.
Almost all of the paleo-beasts were wiped out. But some paleo-beasts mated with some humans and had many offspring. Those are the special ancient races, such as the Feather Race and the Asmodians … "
"I knew it!"
Lu Li nodded to himself. Zi Ji did not lie to him. The ancient races were indeed the result of the hybridization between paleo-beasts and humans.
No wonder many ancient races looked like humans but possessed the miraculous abilities of Xuan Beasts.
"Lu Li!"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement thought about it and said, "I don't think we should take the risk. The paleo-beasts are different from Xuan Beasts and other ferocious beasts. The paleo-beasts are highly intelligent and they know how to cultivate. They have all kinds of powerful skills.
If we go to the Paleo-beast Realm rashly, we will become the enemy of the entire paleo-beast race. We may not be able to come back. "
Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Lu Li were the pillars of the human race. They were about to enter an unknown world and their enemies were those that once dominated many universes.
Zi Ji said that there were no Mythical Beasts among the paleo-beasts. But what if there were?
What was more — the Paleo-beast Realm was inhabited by paleo-beasts. When the two of them went in, they would be faced with dangers and enemies from all over the world.
They were unfamiliar with the place and enemies were everywhere. Once they were encircled, it was hard to say whether they could survive.
"Great-grandpa!"
Lu Li understood Patriarch of Law Enforcement's concern. There were only the two of them in the room. Lu Li didn't want to hide the truth.
He said frankly, "I obtained the Wicked Bead at the Central Imperial Universe. It is a Relic. Back then, many powerful warriors fought for it.
In the end, a mysterious powerful warrior, the Crippled Zen Master, helped me scare off the enemies.
But now, they may break down the barriers between universes and invade the Heaven Reverse Universe to force me to give up the Wicked Bead.
In two or three years, they will come. I must grow stronger so that I can defeat the warriors of the nine universes and protect the Heaven Reverse Universe. "
"Because of a strange animal tooth pendant, I have awakened the Silver Dragon Bloodline. This Bloodline is strange. I can acquire new Bloodline Skills constantly.
But I need powerful Origin Blood Essence. Therefore … I must go to the Paleo-beast Realm and get the Origin Blood Essence of the Nine-clawed Silver Dragon! "
Lu Li's explanation was not very clear, but Patriarch of Law Enforcement had more or less understood. Patriarch of Law Enforcement thought about it and said, "Okay, I will go with you. After all, the Heaven Reverse Universe is fine now. Zhengyang will be in charge."
Patriarch of Law Enforcement went out and sent a message for Lu Zhengyang to come back. Then, he told Jiang Tianshun and Patriarch Lei some things.
Lu Li called Jiang Qiling and the others over and gave them some instructions. Then, he set off with Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Ke Mang.
Jiang Qiling and the others watched as Lu Li and Ke Mang left. Bai Xiashuang was too naive to know what Lu Li was going to do.
Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue, on the other hand, had a vague idea. Therefore … they turned pale.
Lu Li was powerful. He said he was going to explore a small world. Why did he have to ask Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Ke Mang along?
Even though Lu Li did not say much, both of them could tell that the place must be extraordinary.
Also, Lu Li left a pouch and told them to open it when he was not back in two years.
Two years?
Lu Li was going to a place far away.
Or … a dangerous place, so dangerous that Lu Li had to leave his last words.
"Darling, you must come back safely!"
Bai Qiuxue prayed to herself. She would not stop Lu Li because what he was going to do must be something important. She could only pray for his safety.
"Darling, don't worry. Go and explore."
