“Little White!”
Lu Li cried out in dread. He turned pale from fright. Using psychic power to check, Lu Li noticed life was running away in Little White and it made his heart break.
Little White was a Xuan Beast. Nevertheless, Lu Li found a family in Little White. The days he was at the Northern Desert, he was down and out. Little White stuck with him. For so many times, Little White helped him and saved the day. Little White was just as intelligent as a human being. To Lu Li, Little White was just his naughty brother.
“Whoosh!”
Without any hesitation, Lu Li rushed down at once. He no longer worried if such actions would affect his ascending. He sped up to the extreme and reached the foot of the mountain in the time for one breath. He picked up Little White, who had been burnt, and held Little White in his arms.
It was fortunate that after Lu Li stepped onto the path to the Divinity, there was no more lightning or else Little White would have been turned into ashes. Within an instant, Lu Li had thought of hundreds of ideas. His hand glowed in a golden color as he poured divine energy from his body into Little White to try to save it.
“Buzzing~”
At the same time, Lu Li took out countless herbs from his ring and he stuffed all of them into Little White’s mouth. If Little White could be saved, he would not think twice even if he had to use miracle cures.
“No, it’s not working. Nothing is working!”
Pouring divine energy in did not help. Little White’s life was fading. Lu Li fed Little White so many herbs, but none showed any effect.
“Buzzing, buzzing!”
Lu Li’s ring was still glowing as more herbs and healing pellets were taken out. The ground was covered with those items.
Lu Li fed the herbs and pellets to Little White like crazy. Then, he would use divine energy to help consume the herbs so that the effect could be spreading across Little White’s body.
“Hang in there, Little White. Stay with me!”
Lu Li kept shouting. Sweat dripped down from his forehead. He could not even begin to imagine what it would be like if Little White were dead. He regretted his actions. He should not have brought Little White to the Prison of Thunder. He should not have left with such resolution just now. Little White, though intelligent, was just like a kid. Little White likes to fool around and was stubborn…
“Buzzing!”
He took out more herbs. Something attracted his attention, and they were pieces of golden rocks. He got those things from the Interspatial Rings of Yan Zhen and Yan Hu. They were called Divine Sources, and they came from the Divinity.
A drowning man will clutch at a straw. Lu Li took out two Divine Sources and fed them to Little White. The golden energy from the Divine Sources began to travel across Little White’s body.
“Wait?”
As the golden energy spread across Little White, Lu Li felt cheered up. He was overjoyed because when the two Divine Sources were consumed, Little White’s breath of life was stabilizing. Some of Little White’s life was preserved.
“Good!”
Immediately, Lu Li picked up more Divine Sources and fed Little White and then he would use divine energy to help Little White consume the Divine Sources. However… to Lu Li’s disappointment, after he fed Little White seven to eight Divine Sources, Little White was not turning any better. There was still just a trace of life in Little White.
“As long as you can still breathe, I will bring you back to life!”
Lu Li murmured with determination. Then, he stopped his crazed actions. He put away the herbs and would feed Little White a Divine Source at intervals.
Just now, being fed with so many herbs, Little White’s wounds began to recover as the efficacy kicked in. However, Little White was still weak. Just like an oil lamp swept by the wind, it could die out at any time.
Lu Li kept on observing. He did not dare to feed Little White too rapidly because he only had over three thousand Divine Sources. At the current rate, he could run out of Divine Sources soon. Those were the thing that could keep Little White breathing. When Little White’s life was running away, one Divine Source could stabilize Little White’s situation.
Time moved on. Half a day had passed. Little White did not turn any better. Lu Li put himself together. He put Little White into the Wicked Bead and let Deaf Taoist to come out and enter the Wicked Bead as well.
Maybe it was because they were already on the path, or Little White had crossed the ocean of thunderbolts, the natural laws did not drive Little White out from the Wicked Bead. Lu Li was a bit relieved.
Lu Li entered into the Wicked Bead himself and told the Deaf Taoist about Little White. The Deaf Taoist took a look, surprised.
“Lord, this is such an extraordinary beast!”
The Deaf Taoist exclaimed, “It’s not a Mythical Creature and not your spirit beast, theoretically speaking, Little White cannot enter the towering mountain. Natural laws should have killed Little White directly. But that did not happen!”
“Now is not the time to say those things!” Lu Li waved his hand, sulking. “Think of a way to save Little White.”
“I don’t know how!”
The Deaf Taoist answered upon a closer look, “Little White’s source of life should be destroyed. Without the Divine Source, Little White would have been gone by now. The Divine Sources are miraculous. They help Little White stay alive. To save Little White, you will have to go to the Divinity and find herbs there to recover Little White’s source of life.”
“The Divinity?”
Lu Li frowned as he thought of one question. “Later, when I head to the Divinity, will Little White be evicted by natural law? If that happened when we were at Divinity, Little White would not stay alive.”
“I don’t think that will happen!”
The Deaf Taoist shook his head after some thought. “Since Little White has crossed the ocean of lightning, Little White has earned the right to go to the Divinity. Lord, even if there is a mortal being, as long as you can protect him or her against the ocean of lighting, that person can go to the Divinity with you. Many super-mighty warriors in the Divinity have returned to the mortal world and brought their families and friends to the Divinity.”
“Good!”
Lu Li put his mind at ease. He took out over a thousand Divine Sources to give to the Deaf Taoist. Solemnly, Lu Li said, “Take care of Little White for me. If Little White were dead, you would be doomed as well.”
The Deaf Taoist could not afford to be careless now that Lu Li had said so. The Deaf Taoist promised, “Lord, don’t worry. Go to the Divinity and I will take care of Little White. Try to settle down in the Divinity first. Do not leave the cities if not necessary. You will be in danger once you are out of the city if Yan Tiangang has sent someone to hunt you down!”
Lu Li asked, “Is it perfectly safe in cities?”
“In theory, yes!”
The Deaf Taoist knew a thing or two about the Divinity. “Violence is strictly forbidden in cities in the Divinity unless the one resorting to violence is more powerful than the leader of the force that controls the city. Otherwise, anyone getting violent will be hunted down by the force. Of course… if you just happen to land in the sphere of influence of the Black Dragon Mansion, you will be in trouble. But there should be seventy to eighty Ascending Cliffs at southern Divinity. Each prefecture has one. You should be luckier than that…”
Lu Li nodded. The Deaf Taoist added, “Lord, stay in a low-key in the Divinity. Do not mess with the local prefecture armies or your death will not be justified. Also, do not offend people from the four legendary forces. They can kill people even in cities and the local leaders will not say a single word against them.”
“Four legendary forces?”
This was the first time Lu Li had heard of such notions. The Deaf Taoist explained, “There are four legendary forces acknowledged in the Divinity, namely the Space-time Office, the Cabinet of Mystery, the Hall of Stakes and Craftsmen’s Sect. I do not know about the specifics. Anyways, not even our king from the Region of Doom dares to offend the four legendary forces or else he will be killed just like others.”
“Okay. Duly noted!”
Lu Li nodded. He gave Little White a look and went out of the Wicked Bead. He stepped up the towering mountain slowly. Making sure that Little White would not be evicted, he took the final step and vanished into the sky.
