Uncle Nine of the Jun Family brought Jun Mengchen and the others out. Naturally, the Quasi Relic armor that once belonged to the deceased Jun Family young master was taken into Lu Li’s possession. But he didn’t get excited over the fact that he had acquired yet another suit of Quasi Relic armor.
If he could not survive, he could take dozens of Quasi Relic armors, and they still wouldn’t help. In the end, he would only end up enriching the Leng Family resources.
Uncle Eleven of the Jun Family spent some to recover, and Lu Li told Leng Wuxin to rest as well. After two hours, Lu Li stood up and took the lead and walked into the wind cave.
The Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior and Leng Wuxin went with him. Without Lu Li, they would not be able to stand the attack from Feather Wind. Lu Li walked in front of them with ease. With a wave of his hand, the Feather Wind parted ways in front of them and stayed away.
It made the walk much easier. Soon, they arrived where Leng Wushuang and Leng Tianba’s bodies were. Leng Wuxin sighed at the sight but didn’t say anything.
Winners took all!
That was the harsh reality. Lu Li was better skilled. Now that she had become his soul slave, she couldn’t even commit suicide. Saying too much wouldn’t do her any good.
“Well…”
Lu Li remembered something. He turned to Leng Wuxin and asked, “The antidote to the Walking Dead Venom, you really don’t have it?”
Leng Wuxin shook her head and said, “I really don’t. I need to start afresh. But… I have all kinds of Mystical Materials with me. I think I will be able to produce it in half a year.”
“Half a year?”
Lu Li raised his eyebrows, but he was not in an absolute hurry. Leng Wuxin had given him nine pellets. Those and the first one she gave him could last him for five years.
Antidote was not the pressing matter. The critical thing was that he was going to be teleported out in six months. If he couldn’t find a way to stay alive after going out, he could detoxify completely right now, but he would still have to face his death in half a year.
Lu Li moved on silently. He kept waving his hands so the Feather Wind would blow to the sides. Feather Wind had grown particularly horrifying at this point. If he didn’t move it, he himself wouldn’t be able to stand it.
The wind cave was deep. They hadn’t reached the bottom yet after they had already traveled for more than 10 miles. The passageway meandered downward so they were not miles underground.
Lu Li was getting more and more excited. The deeper the cave went, the more dangerous it was. The Feather Wind at this stage was fatal. Usually, danger and interests went hand in hand. There must be precious treasures in the depth.
“Doors!”
The Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior yelled. Lu Li and Leng Wuxin looked over, and they could faintly see a door and some dim light.
“Let’s move it!”
Lu Li excitement grew yet again. He quickened his steps and soon found himself in front of a gate. Beside the gate were two air inlets, where the Feather Wind originated.
Leng Wushang and the Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior’s eyes glowed. A gate at the bottom of the cave? There must be a dungeon in there.
In the Forbidden Ground of Elder God, miles underneath the ground, there asw a dungeon!
What did it mean?
It meant that this might very well be the place where Emperor Heng’s remains were placed. The most valuable artifacts owned by Emperor Heng, his Relic weapons and armors must be all in there. The core that controlled the entire Forbidden Ground of Elder God could be found here as well.
Naturally, Lu Li was delighted. But he remained calm. He checked the gate to see if there were any dangers. Triumph and greed could easily confuse a man. The valuables of Emperor Heng was not all that easy to be acquired!
Think of the big picture!
If Lu Li had been Emperor Heng, he wouldn’t have let his Relic weapons and armors be taken away by anyone easily. He must leave them to the talented, wise, and kind. To do otherwise would be a defilement of Emperor Heng’s name or indirectly saying that he was an idiot…
The immortals were definitely not idiots…
Arriving at the dungeon didn’t mean absolute safety or that they could lay their hands on the valuables. Lu Li knew it perfectly well.
He observed for a while and let the Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior and Leng Wuxin double check. After making sure that the gate wouldn’t bring about any danger, Lu Li said to the Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior, “Go and open the gate.”
“…”
Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior was reluctant. What if the Inhibition Formation on the gate blasted him to death directly? However, he didn’t have the ability to disobey Lu Li. The Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior carried his dueling sword, activated his Quasi Relic armor, readied his Bloodline Skill, and walked to the gate in jitters.
The gate was dark with patterns of cruel beasts carved on it. Within the patterns, there seemed to be a circulation of green air, which added a touch of mystery to the gate.
The Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior stood at the gate. First, he tried to push the gate open with his dueling sword. The gate didn’t budge. Then, he made up his mind and pushed the gate with his hand.
Still, nothing happened!
Lu Li signaled to him. The Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior had to mobilize Xuan Energy and smash forcefully at the gate.
“Boom!”
The gate glowed in a green light and trembled. However, it didn’t open. But it didn’t release any attack, either.
“The gate is protected by strong ancient Inhibition Formation!”
Leng Wuxin reminded Lu Li. Pointing to the green air stream, she explained, “Those indicate the presence of ancient Inhibition Formation. I don’t think… the gate can be opened easily unless you can crack the ancient Inhibition Formation.”
Lu Li asked with a frown, “The two of you, who understands ancient Inhibition Formations?”
Both Leng Wuxin and the Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior shook their heads. The latter said, “Ancient Inhibition Formations are hard to crack. Only a few powerful warriors in different universes understand them. Neither of us can.”
The Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior was unlikely to lie. Lu Li calmed himself down. He stared at the green lines on the gate, his eyebrows tied together. Was he to leave empty-handed when he was about to enter a land of treasure?
“Then think!”
Lu Li ordered. The Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior began to utilize assorted ways to crack the gate while Leng Wuxin walked over, attempting to open the gate.
An hour passed.
Both the Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior and Leng Wuxin had given up. They had exerted themselves to the utmost, but they still couldn’t open the gate. The Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior even tried powerful modes of attack, which left no mark of damage on the gate.
Lu Li observed for the entire hour. An idea had come to his mind, but he didn’t rush to test it. Instead, he kept on looking silently.
“Alright. Step down now!”
Seeing that the two was about to pry the door open with force again, Lu Li said. After they had stepped behind him, he waved his hand and manipulated the Feather Wind into two wind dragons.
Instead of making the wind dragons to whoosh toward the gate, he steered them to the two wind inlets. The wind dragons merged into the wind inlets. However, the gate showed no signs of movement.
“Was I wrong?”
Lu Li blinked in confusion. As he understood, the Feather Wind was the key in opening the gate. The Feather Wind in the wind cave was strong. Earth Immortal Realm warriors couldn’t come in. Maybe some Semi-God Realm warriors could make it.
That being said…
Semi-God Realm warriors were not allowed in the Forbidden Ground of Elder God. It was within human nature for Emperor Heng not to want Semi-God Realm warriors to come in and get his legacy.
Lu Li thought over it and asked Leng Wuxin, “Can Semi-God Realm warriors enter the Forbidden Ground of Elder God?”
“They cannot!”
Leng Wuxin’s answer proved Lu Li’s belief. She went on, “The number of Earth Immortal Realm warriors that can come in is limited or else the Feather Wind will be much heavier. We have proven that. The more Earth Immortal Realm warriors there are, the stronger the Feather Wind would be. That is why each family is only allowed to send in two Earth Immortal Realm warriors. That is a consensus reached by all the families after negotiation.”
“Then I should be right!”
Lu Li felt bewildered. Nobody could reach the bottom of the wind cave when Earth Immortal Realm warriors couldn’t even make it in.
Unless it was someone that could control Feather Wind. It was only possible for such a person to stand there. Then the key to unlocking the gate should be Feather Wind.
“Try another way!”
Lu Li pondered for the time for two incense sticks to burn. He then formed the Feather Wind into a dragon and moved it to the gate and let it travel along the trajectory indicated by the green lines’ movement on the gate.
After the wind dragon made several rounds, the dark gate suddenly glowed in green and then opened slowly…
“How?”
Both the Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior and Leng Wuxin were taken aback. They looked at Lu Li with mixed feelings. Was Lu Li… the chosen protégé of Emperor Heng?
