An arrangement had been agreed upon. The Method of Shield and soul protection skill was given to Lu Li who did an initial study of the Method of Shield to make sure that it was authentic.
This method required two Profound Meanings related to earth and three other skills as reinforcement. Lu Li had been studying the Method of Stone Golem. By referring to that method, he believed that the Method of Shield should work.
Besides, the God of Barbarian would not mess around. After all, Lu Li had the ability to destroy the Mount Barbarian God at any time and kill civilians of the Barbarian Race. The God of Barbarian would lose the energy of faith from this race should he did anything ill-advised.
The soul protection skill was called the Method of Spirit Element. Since Lu Li was not proficient in skills related to the soul, he only gave a rough reading of this method. He committed it to memory and left it aside.
“Han the Iron, step away. Stay thirty miles away from here!”
Lu Li sent a message for Han the Iron to leave. Since Lu Li would try different ways of attack for the God of Barbarian later, Han the Iron’s presence was not welcomed.
As Master of the Barbarian Race, Han the Iron was not okay to be waved away like this. He stared at the Wicked Bead and did not listen.
“Han the Iron, leave. Do not let anyone close and do not say what has just happened.”
The God of Barbarian said. Han the Iron could not disobey and left as told.
Patriarch of Law Enforcement said, “Lu Li, I will go and check our base camp. Come and get me when you are done here.”
“Okay!”
Lu Li flew out from the Wicked Bead and nodded to Patriarch of Law Enforcement. Then, Lu Li began to test his skills. The first one was the Feather Wind castle, and he also demonstrated the Feather Wind weapons, Wind Wisp, and Traceless Twist.
“God of Barbarian, those are four Profound Meanings I know. How do you think they can be improved?”
After the demonstration, Lu Li asked the God of Barbarian who had been observing with psychic power. He gave it some thought and said, “You have mastered the four Profound Meanings already so there is no more room for improvement. Also, about the Profound Meanings, nobody can give guidance to the study of Profound Meanings!”
“Sh*t!”
Lu Li rolled his eyes. “If they cannot be improved, then what is the point of you being here? You—an immortal—cannot give guidance to a mere mortal being?”
“You know nothing!”
The God of Barbarian’s voice was shaking due to anger. “Profound Meanings are the truth of heaven and earth. You have learned it and what do you expect me to say? But… the ones you studied are all about wind and there are 12 in total. If you can learn them all and integrate the 12 together, you will be presented with the Origin Fundamental Principle. If you can learn that, you will become an immortal and ascend to the Divinity.”
“Origin Fundamental Principle!”
Lu Li’s soul trembled. He had heard about this term before, and he had been having similar speculations which were confirmed by the God of Barbarian.
There were 12 wind-related Profound Meanings!
He had 12 diagrams and he had long suspected that when he finished the 12 diagrams, he would learn 12 Profound Meanings with properties of wind, which would enable him to ascend to the Divinity. All that was real?
“Okay!”
Lu Li’s most treasured wish was to ascend to the Divinity and get Lu Ling. He could not refrain from being thrilled knowing that he could become an immortal as long as he kept studying the line diagram. He was even trembling.
“Phew, phew~”
He took some deep breaths to calm down and said, “God of Barbarian, as a matter of fact, I came to possession of a line diagram which is composed of 12 diagrams. From the diagrams, I have learned four Profound Meanings. If I can learn them all… do you think I can learn the Origin Fundamental Principle?”
“Line diagram?”
The God of Barbarian seemed to be confused. Then, he realized what it was. “You mean the Map of Fundamental Principle, right? You have acquired a Map of Fundamental Principle? A map like this is hard to be made and it incurs huge costs, sometimes it could cost one’s life. Punk, you are lucky. Now that you have a Map of Fundamental Principle, there is not much to say. You study the 12 diagrams and the entire Map of Fundamental Principle; you will master the Origin Fundamental Principle and ascend to the Divinity.”
“The Map of Fundamental Principle? The price of life?”
Lu Li was stunned. He finally understood why Emperor Heng was so seriously wounded by the spatial turbulence when he came back from the Divinity. While fully aware of the fatal danger, he went through the trouble and hid a Map of Fundamental Principle in the Feather Wind. By chance, Lu Li found it because he was not afraid of the Feather Wind.
“I need to pay tribute to Emperor Heng when time permits.”
Theoretically speaking, Emperor Heng was Lu Li’s mentor now. Though they never met in person, Lu Li did have the Map of Fundamental Principle and the Wicked Bead which were the legacy of Emperor Heng.
“Hey!”
The God of Barbarian was losing patience. “Have you learned anything else apart from Profound Meanings? It costs a great deal of divine energy to sustain this avatar. Do not waste my time.”
Lu Li came back to his senses. Then he demonstrated skills like the Dragon Armor, Blood Claw, and Rising Dragon. Having done so, he explained, “Those are my Bloodline skills. Are there any chances of improvement?”
“Bloodline skills? Those are just inferior beast-resembling skills. To improve them are simple except that some special materials are required.”
This was a disappointing answer from the God of Barbarian who continued to explain, “I have many such materials, but you know I cannot send them to the mortal world. There is nothing I can do in this regard.”
Neither Profound Meanings nor Bloodline skills could be improved. Lu Li had to try other skills. He used a Quasi Relic and smashed at a boulder nearby.
“Bang!”
It made a heavy sound. While the surface of the boulder seemed intact, the inside had exploded. When a gentle breeze blew by, the boulder turned into dust.
Soul Shattering skill!
This was an arcane skill from the ancient times, acting on both the soul and the physical body of the object. Once, this skill was able to offer much help to Lu Li. But at his current stage, the skill had less value. All Lu Li’s enemies now were at the Semi-God Realm, and they would never allow him to get close. The Semi-God Realm warriors’ reactions were fast.
“This skill is not so bad!”
The God of Barbarian said after some thought, “However, even if it’s enhanced, this skill cannot exert great harm. The mechanism of it is too simple. It will only be improved by a small margin even if I help you, which is of little value… based on your current abilities!”
“This is not okay and that cannot be done. Are you a fake warrior in the Divinity? A guard? Do you know no shame?”
Lu Li was boiling with anger. An immortal was a warrior from another world as far as Lu Li was concerned. Say Lu Li was with an average Soul Pond Realm or Fate Wheel Realm warrior. If he were to give guidance to such warriors, their skills could be improved by a large margin.
“…”
The God of Barbarian did not know how to respond except by saying, “Do you have no more impressive skills or moves? Your skills are so mediocre. They are of little value even enhanced. Why are you blaming me?”
“Moves?”
Lu Li remembered something. The image of a white-haired young man came to his mind. The Slayer’s move. Lu Li had been unable to learn it. If the God of Barbarian could help him learn the Slayer’s move, then it would be the best.
Once, using the Slayer’s move, he destroyed an avatar of the God of Wings. The move was powerful. If he could master that move, Lu Li was absolutely confident that he could defeat or kill all the warriors from the nine universes.
