"As for the animal tooth pendant!"Lu Renhuang was reminiscing, grimaced, "When you were born, I had to take your mother to cure her wound. Your sister was only four. I could not just leave you there. So, I took the animal tooth pendant from your sister and gave it to you. I knew that this animal tooth pendant was a piece of treasure. I thought it might save your life in critical moments."
"Oh, I see…"
Lu Li"s questions were answered. Lu Ling was not his sister. She was not taken away but picked up by her own family. Otherwise, Ming Yu would have more than some broken bones and all that witnessed the event in the Inferno would have been killed.
Lu Li could not find his words for a while. "Didn"t you look for her parents? I don"t suppose my sister had fallen down from the sky. Weren"t there any families of her?" He asked after a moment.
"No!"
Lu Renhuang was sure, "I looked around in that area for three days and I searched everywhere. There were n.o.body and no trace of anyone else there. Only so did I adopt your sister. Your mother and I were away from the tribe for over a year. People there thought she was our daughter. Your mother did not want your sister to have any psychological traumas, so she told me to hide the fact."
"Did she really come from the world above?"
Lu Li gazed through the window into the horizon. This seemed to be worse than he had expected. Lu Ling"s parents were probably from the world above. Due to some special reason, her parents had to use some forbidden skill to send her down to the Heaven Reverse Universe.
Later on, her parents started looking for her and their efforts lasted for over two decades before they found her and brought her back by force.
Lu Li told Lu Renhuang what he thought and how it happened. The latter did not reply at once. After a moment, Lu Renhuang said, "Lu Li, you may be right. Ling-er"s parents are probably from the Divinity. Otherwise, we should be able to see some traces. Do not grieve. Let us cultivate harder and we will ascend to the Divinity together. We will find your sister. She is going to accept us."
"To the Divinity and find my sister?"
Lu Li"s heart skipped a beat. His dimmed eyes were again s.h.i.+mmering with light. Lu Renhuang was right.
Lu Li was talented. To make it better, he knew the line diagram. He could study Profound Meanings to better his abilities and realm. With more than a dozen big diagrams, he could study over 10 Profound Meanings. When he learned them all, he should be at least reaching the peak of the Semi-G.o.d Realm.
Lu Renhuang was already at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm and one step away from reaching the Semi-G.o.d Realm. He was barely forty. It was quite hopeful for him to make the breakthrough. In the future, the father and the son could become immortals and explore the Divinity together. It was possible that they could find Lu Ling.
And there was Emperor of Heaven Reverse!
The supreme warrior in the Divinity who told Lu Li that he would accept Lu Li as his protege as long as Lu Li could come to the Divinity. It might be easier for them to find Lu Ling with the help of the Emperor of Heaven Reverse.
There were four seals to be lifted in the Wicked Bead. Lu Li had in his control a powerful being, the Dragon Demon. He had the blood of the Slayer. He had a promising future.
"Sister, wait for me!"
Lu Li became a man of firmness again. He told himself, "I will work hard. I will find you in the Divinity. I promise."
Lu Renhuang patted Lu Li"s shoulder but did not say anything. He was ready to leave.
Lu Li suddenly remembered something. "Father, mother is still under the Ice Abyss. How about we… move her grave to the ancestral graves of the Lu Family? She… is probably lonely in the Ice Abyss by herself." He asked.
"Your mother is not lonely."
Lu Renhuang turned back. Smiling drearily, he continued, "It is her cenotaph in the Ice Abyss. I kept her body in my Interspatial Ring. I have been by her side all long so she will not feel lonely."
"Father!"
Looking at Lu Renhuang, Lu Li somehow felt sorrowful. He tried to comfort his father, "After we become immortals and ascend to the Divinity, there may be ways to bring her back to life. We can find a way to do that."
"Sure!"
Lu Renhuang smiled, "So, we must work hard now. I will return to the Prison of Ice. Maybe next time we meet, you will find me at the Semi-G.o.d Realm."
Lu Renhuang left. Lu Li stayed in the room in silence for a long time. He did not even notice that Jiang Qiling and the twins had come in.
"Darling, don"t be upset!"
Bai Xiashuang pulled his robe. Bai Qiuxue knelt in front of him. She said nothing and only put her face on her knees. Jiang Qiling walked over and gently rubbed his shoulders.
"I am not upset!"
Lu Li forced a smile. he took out a jade talisman and said, "Sister"s jade talisman of life is intact. She is okay. I will find her. I believe she is trying to get back to us as well."
"Sure!"
The three of them nodded. The silver lining was that Lu Ling"s jade talisman of life was not broken.
"Alright, I need to cultivate!"
Lu Li stood up and took a stretch. "This is my order. Do not try to find my sister anymore. Let Ming Yu continue to manage the Inferno and the Demon-slaying Hall. My grandpa will govern the Demon-slaying Hall and let Great Grandfather Five take care of the Lu Family. Do not come to me if it is not something critical. Let them make their own decisions
Jiang Qiling and the twins were relieved to see the light rekindling in Lu Li"s eyes. They had lost appet.i.te for food or drink, restless with anxiety. They were happy that Lu Li had pulled himself together.
Lu Li started cultivating. Lu Renhuang went to the Prison of Ice right away. The Demon-slaying Hall had been well. Some patriarchs had been clamoring about attacking the Southern Land of Voodoo Race, Northern Land of Barbarian Race and the Western Land of the Feather Race but Lu Zhengyang rejected them all. The Eastern Land of Oceans was not stabilized yet. They could not expand at the moment.
Great Grandfather Five was more than enough to manage the Lu Family. After all, n.o.body dared to offend the Lu Family now. There might be all sorts of evil characters lying in wait, but they did not have the courage to take actions. They would be torn apart by Lu Li in wrath if they did.
Another month had pa.s.sed. Patriarch Eight could deliver eggs now. The Feiyi Beasts were growing quickly. It was time to harvest eggs.
Lu Li sent the Dragon Demon out and let it stay in the Inferno. Little White went to the Inferno to cultivate as well. It took out the Ding of Barbarian G.o.d to use the thunderbolts to refine its body.
Lu Li had Ming Yu to dispatch some guards in that area. n.o.body was allowed near the Dragon Demon. Normally, the Dragon Demon would behave as long as n.o.body was there to anger it. This spirit beast was not intelligent. It was not difficult to raise the Dragon Demon since it did nothing other than to eat and sleep.
"This is the 13th one!"
Lu Li went to the inner hall in the Wicked Bead after the Dragon Demon was taken care of. In the second big diagram, he had studied 12 small components. He was three components away from finis.h.i.+ng it. Not only would he learn a new Profound Meaning he would also move up to the middle stage of the Human Sovereign Realm as well.
"You of the nine universes, you"d better not come to the Heaven Reverse Universe. Or else… hmm!"
The Dragon Demon was growing and so was he. He believed he could have the competence to fight Semi-G.o.d Realm warriors in a few years.
He would not hesitate to kill them all if they dared to come. He would also go to the nine universes to wipe out those families.
