The Heaven Reverse Universe was made up of five lands, the Great Land, the Ocean Land of the East, the Barbarian Land of the North, the Voodoo Land of the South and the Feather Land of the West.
The Great Land was composed of nine plains. Located in the center, the Central Plains was the largest in size. The other eight combined was smaller than the Central Plains.
Hence…
Lu Li had thought that the other places were about the same size as the Cyan Plains and the Northern Desert. All were small places - countryside. Only by looking at the map today did he learn that three plains were quite large, the Clouds Plains, the Wings Plains and the Serenity Plains.
With more territory, came more population and resourses, which meant the number of powerful warriors would be large as well.
Lu Li had made mistakes and so had Jiang Qiling and all the others. From the standpoint of Jiang Qiling, she thought the other places were all countryside other than Central Plains and they didn"t have many powerful warriors.
"Okay, I will ask Madam Yan to send someone to have a look at the Clouds Plains and Wings Plains."
Lu Li made a decision. Putting away the matter with Lu Ling, Lu Li took another look at the map and asked, "Northern Desert is at the north, Central Plains is in the middle and the Serenity Plains is thousands of miles to the northwest of Central Plains. So, how come the three pa.s.sages of the Deserted World can connect to the three regions?"
As far as Lu Li could tell, the Deserted World was a fixed small world in some place in s.p.a.ce. Deserted World could not move. If so, how could it be connected to the Serenity Plains thousands of miles away?
G.o.d of Meng and Third Patriarch looked at each other and smiled. G.o.d of Meng signaled Third Patriarch to explain, "Saint Lord, the small world is in sandwich layer of s.p.a.ce or you can think of it as a crack of s.p.a.ce. The s.p.a.ce here is different from ours. There are different layers. s.p.a.ce is a miraculous thing…"
"Let me explain it in this way!"
Third Patriarch thought about it and said, "For the same distance, someone will have to use a month and someone may only need a day and still others can go through s.p.a.ce. If you understand some Profound Meaning related to s.p.a.ce, you can go across s.p.a.ce and arrive at a place 300 miles away in an instant. There are different Profound Meanings and rules contained in our s.p.a.ce. But the small world is not within the s.p.a.ce where the Heaven Reverse Universe is so this small world is not constrained by our s.p.a.ce"s rules and laws…"
Lu Li was more confused after he heard this explanation. The theory was too sophisticated. After all, his experience was not rich enough and there were many things he didn"t know. It was natural that he didn"t understand this now.
Seeing that Third Patriarch"s explanation was getting too complicated, G.o.d of Meng waved his hand and said, "Allow me. The Heaven Reverse Universe is a developed and stable s.p.a.ce in which there are many cracks and sandwich layers. Those intertwine in the entire Heaven Reverse Universe and Deserted World is in the crack and sandwich layer.
"Sometimes, the cracks and sandwich layers will be changed and pa.s.sages will appear. This pa.s.sages can be connected to any place in the Heaven Reverse Universe. There is no fixed location. The bigger the small world is, the higher the chances are to have pa.s.sages. So, the Deserted World has three pa.s.sages connecting to the Heaven Reverse Universe. Because of the stacks of layers, pa.s.sages are in different places…"
G.o.d of Meng"s statement was clearer. Of course, Lu Li still only had a hazy idea of the underlying mechanism. He was not in the mood to study it right now. He told them, "Then destroy the pa.s.sage to the Central Plains. Guard the pa.s.sage to the Serenity Plains at all times. Once someone at the Serenity Plains discover it, destroy it."
Ten years" time could fly by. Lu Li prepared to use the Deserted World as his way out. Therefore, the outside world could not learn about this place and must be cut off from it.
The two pa.s.sages were too dangerous. If it were not for the fact that Lu Li wanted to send someone to the Serenity Plains to find his sister, he would have ordered to destroy this pa.s.sage right now as well.
"Okay, I will go back to make arrangements now!"
G.o.d of Meng nodded. He was about to leave when Lu Li stopped him and said, "Go and get the Mystical Materials the Deserted World has. Get me all the ones you don"t need if possible. I will get you the ones we need."
"Mystical Materials for our cultivation can last for a while." G.o.d of Meng frowned and said, "Last time you said we will wait for a couple of years before we need to trade again. Did something happen?"
G.o.d of Meng had a good sense but Lu Li didn"t want to get into that now. He waved his hand and said, "Nothing huge. Just do that."
G.o.d of Meng thought about it and left without saying anything.
Lu Li frowned. This incident at the small battlefield could influence his relations.h.i.+p with the Pavilion of Delicacy. He must get some Mystical Materials to be safe. Otherwise, if Jiang Wuwo gave the order, Lu Li wouldn"t be able to buy any valuable Mystical Materials even if he could afford it.
Lu Li asked Third Patriarch to get Ming Yu here while he went into the castle Bai Xiashuang lived in to cultivate.
By the end of the day, he had to try. What if a miracle was going to happen?
To live in the Deserted World his entire life like a coward was not fun. What was more, Lu Ling was yet to be found, Bai Qiuxue to be saved and his parents to be rescued.
As for Lu Zhengyang, Lu Li had given up trying. It was not that he didn"t have love towards his grandpa. He really was incapable. If Lu Zhengyang could be saved easily, Lu Li"s great-grandpa would have helped.
Also, Lu Li had another concern—
The Grand Master had said he would protect Lu Li for 10 years. The four forces wouldn"t do anything out in the open. But what if they resorted to some dirty schemes secretly? If there was no proof, there wasn"t much Grand Master could do.
For example…
They could invite a Human Sovereign Realm warrior that belonged to no force. That warrior could accidentally go past the Northern Desert and enter into some unintentional conflict and then put the Northern Desert in a bloodbath.
Then the four forces could kill this Human Sovereign Realm. Even if the Grand Master had suspicion that one force was behind this, he could not wipe the force out without any proof.
"Alas…"
Lu Li felt the burden was even heavier on this thought. For the current one year or two, n.o.body would dare to take action. But it might happen after a couple of years.
Lu Li felt it was imperative for him to improve his abilities. He must at least reach the n.o.ble Lord Realm first. It would be ideal if he could try to reach the Human Sovereign Realm. It was unlikely that the four forces would send over an Earth Immortal Realm warrior.
"Lu Li!"
While he was deep in this thoughts, from a room walked out a beauty. Bai Xiashuang stood at the door, looked at Lu Li sadly and said, "Can I go out for some time? I miss my auntie."
Lu Li looked at her, his stiff face softening. He answered, "Yes, when Ming Yu comes, you can go with him. I am here, anyways. I am so sorry that you"ve been through this."
Bai Qiuxue was a quiet girl whereas Bai Xiashuang was a restless one. In the old days, the latter wouldn"t sit still for one moment. But she had been living here alone for more than half a year now and she had become more stable. Lu Li wouldn"t worry about her now.
Bai Xiashuang lowered her head, deep in thoughts. She teared up. After a moment, she looked up at Lu Li and asked, "Lu Li, when can my sister wake up? I am scared!"
Lu Li felt guilty and sorry, looking at the weeping beauty. He stood up, walked over, hugged her and said, "Don"t be afraid. I am here. It"s not the end of the world. I will save your sister. Trust me."
"Woo, woo~"
Bai Xiashuang had been pus.h.i.+ng down her feelings for more than half a year and lived on her own for more than half a year. n.o.body was there to talk to her. There was nothing fun and she was worried constantly that Bai Qiuxue might die. She almost had a mental breakdown.
At the moment, in a pair of strong arms and against a strong shoulder, she couldn"t hold back her feelings anymore and began to cry out in his arms.
"It"s okay. Everything will be fine!"
Lu Li patted her smooth shoulder and comforted her and in a way, he was comforting himself as well.
