"Finally, I made it!"Several days later, Lu Li finally finished the last piece and thus, the third diagram.
"Engrave it into the Bead of Life!"
Lu Li did not take any rest and engraved the third line diagram into the Bead of Life promptly. Then, he used divine energy to reinforce the diagram to make the process complete
Given his previous experience, things went smoothly this time. In an hour, Lu Li had engraved the line diagram. However, as he mobilized divine energy, he realized—he did not have much divine energy left.
Last time at the Demon-slaying City, he was bestowed much divine energy. Some were absorbed by his body. Later, he used some for the first two line diagrams. Some divine energy had volatilized. Hence, there was not much left.
"At best, the remaining divine energy can be used in three more diagrams. If I cannot study that fast, and more divine energy is volatilized, there won"t be enough for three."
Lu Li said to himself. When this third diagram lit up, he could already guess the result. As he had expected, the third Profound Meaning was of wind as well. All the Profound Meanings contained in this line diagram should be related to wind.
"There are 12 diagrams. So, that means 12 Profound Meanings of the wind?"
Lu Li wondered. When he learned the 12 Profound Meanings of wind, would he have studied all the Profound Meanings related to the wind? Could he integrate them into a supreme Profound Meaning of wind?
"Fundamental Principle? Once I learn the 12 Profound Meanings of wind, will I know the Fundamental Principle of the wind?"
Lu Li asked himself. But n.o.body was here to teach him. His questions would remain unanswered unless the Emperor of Heaven Reverse could send an avatar to help.
"Wind Wisp?"
Lu Li was somehow disappointed at this Profound Meaning which seemed of little use. This Profound Meaning could only enable him to trap people. But the Feather Wind castle itself could trap people. This Wind Wisp appeared to be of little value.
When not even the Feather Wind castle could trap people, the Wind Wisp would not provide much help either. Lu Li thought he could learn an aggressive Profound Meaning. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Hundreds of Beast G.o.ds were attacking. Lu Li had no time to proceed with the fourth diagram. Reaching the Earth Immortal Realm could not be accomplished any time soon. Lu Li sat with his legs crossed for half a day. Then, he woke himself up.
"Is everything okay?"
As soon as Lu Li woke up, so did Patriarch of Law Enforcement. He asked Lu Li who seemed to be in a gloomy state, "Is something bad happening?"
"That is not it!"
Lu Li forced a smile. "I am just disappointed that the Profound Meaning I learned is not quite strong."
"Ha, ha!"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement comforted him, "Don"t ever underestimate the Profound Meaning that appears to be weak. It is irreplaceable when you try to integrate the Profound Meanings together. To reach the Earth Immortal Realm, you must learn or integrate an eighth-rank Profound Meaning and to reach the Semi-G.o.d Realm required a ninth rank Profound Meaning. To learn such Profound Meanings from scratch… is daunting. Therefore, integration is the better way."
"Okay, I understand, great grandpa!"
Endowed by nature with unusual intelligence, Lu Li came around soon. His previous progress had been fast. Every time he picked something new up, his abilities would witness major enhancement. Thus, he had become eager for success. He should know he had more than enough time. After all, he was only in his twenties.
Lu Li used psychic power to check and saw the 200 Beast G.o.ds attacking. The several masters had stopped after several days of failure.
Lu Li told Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Ke Mang the situation outside and added while frowning, "I tried but I cannot tell the abilities of Masters of Silver Dragon, Ghost Face Spider, and Fairy Fox. The other masters are at the stage of Beast G.o.d. Those three have likely reached the stage of Mythical Creature-to-be. This can be problematic."
Lu Li and Patriarch of Law Enforcement would not worry if they were to fight only one Mythical Creature-to-be. Their combined effort and the Dragon Demon could kill one Mythical Creature-to-be easily. However, faced with three Mythical Creature-to-be, Lu Li had become worried.
Mythical Creature-to-be were stronger than regular Semi-G.o.d Realm warriors, not to mention the former were endowed with supernatural abilities. The Silver Dragons were incredibly strong. If the Master of Fairy Fox had reached the third level of Enchantment, then not even Patriarch of Law Enforcement could survive the Enchantment.
Lu Li could withstand all soul attacks with the silver dragon mark in his Soul Pond up until now. But would he stay strong when affected by the third level of Enchantment? He was not sure.
If he and Patriarch of Law Enforcement were to go out and their souls were struck, they would be… captured alive rather than killed. Once they were enslaved, not only the two of them would suffer, so would the Heaven Reverse Universe.
"Three Mythical Creature-to-be!"
Patriarch of Law Enforcement"s eyebrows was knitted together. His biggest concern was the Master of Fairy Fox. He had a ninth rank Mystic Armor, but his soul was not quite resilient.
"Should I fly the Wicked Bead away? If we can get rid of those Beast G.o.ds, we can find a pa.s.sageway to the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. Via the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos, we can go back to the Heaven Reverse Universe."
Lu Li had obtained the Origin Blood Essence of the Nine-clawed Silver Dragon. He wanted the Origin Blood Essence of the Master of Silver Dragon but safety first. The Wicked Bead could protect him for decades but people at the Heaven Reverse Universe could not wait. The warriors of the nine universes might come at any time now…
"Buzzing!"
Lu Li and Patriarch of Law Enforcement aligned their ideas after discussing it and then sent in Bones of Tortoise. Lu Li asked directly, "Do you know the entrance to the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos?"
"Purgatory of Primordial Chaos?"
The short Bones of Tortoise trembled as if horrible memories were coming back to him. Even so, he answered with respect, "Once, such an entrance was found in our territory. It was when my grandpa was alive. The Silver Dragons wanted to destroy the entrance, but my grandpa said no. In the end, my grandpa was murdered and the entrance to the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos was destroyed."
"Such a shame!"
Lu Li sighed. "How about other entrances? How many entrances are there as far as you know?" He asked again.
"Three!"
Bones of Tortoise replied with certainty, "As a matter of fact, many entrances were found but most were ruined, leaving only three. They are located at the Mountain of Dragons, Cave of Spiders and Frost of Foxes. But… the three entrances are well-hidden. Only the powerful ones of their own species knew. The three entrances were sealed. I remember one of our ancestors went to build the seal, but he never came back…"
"You are sure those are the only three?" Lu Li was unwilling to give up.
"Absolutely!"
Bones of Tortoise explained, "Ten thousand years ago, many species would steal their way to the Prison of Water of the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos because Mystical Materials were abundant there, and that was a suitable place for cultivation. But later, one of the most powerful beasts entered the Prison of Gold and was captured by those of the nine universes. The then Master of Silver Dragon was afraid that those of the nine universes would come to the Paleo-beast Realm so he ordered the entrances destroyed, sparing merely three."
"Really…"
Lu Li and Patriarch of Law Enforcement looked at each other. They were troubled.
The three entrances were located at the territory of the three major species. In other words—they must wipe out one of the species to get to the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos.
