“Whoosh, whoosh!”
Lu Li was wielding his saber constantly in a mountain next to the entrance to the hot springs in the Deserted World. He stood at the peak of the mountain. The wind whipped his robe. His hair fluttered.
He closed his eyes. He had been standing on the peak of the mountain for several days now, and he had been wielding his saber the whole time. The Quasi Relic saber he named “Cold Blade” had no glare. He did not pour in any Xuan Energy in it either. He just repeated this boring actions constantly!
“No, I cannot do it!”
Two hours later, Lu Li opened his eyes and shook his head. He came here to study the Slayer’s move. Evidently, he had failed to do so.
On the Mountain of Wings, he accidentally used the Slayer’s move and defeated the God of Wings. He ruined her statue, and even slashed one of her avatars according to her! Lu Li had his eyes closed at that time, and he did not think too much of it. He just did it while being absent-minded. He tried to recall the details of his battle with the God of Wings so he could try to learn the Slayer’s move later.
However…
Since he recovered, he had been on this mountain practicing for seven days. Every day he would look back to the moment when he used the Slayer’s move and repeat this boring action, trying to release the Slayer’s move. Unfortunately, he failed every time. He could not see even a tiny hint of inspiration.
“Is it because… I consumed the Slayer’s blood? Is that why I was able to release that move by any chance?”
An idea came to Lu Li’s mind. Maybe, the Slayer’s blood contained some spiritual marks of the Slayer.
In other words—it was not exactly Lu Li that released the move. He did not learn the move. It was the spiritual mark in the Slayer’s blood that controlled Lu Li to do it.
Lu Li was now faced with a dilemma. There was only one drop of the Slayer’s blood. That was to say, he could only use the move for one more time. When the last drop of blood was used up, he would have no more chance to master that strong move.
“Let me try again. If I cannot make it in 10 days, I will go back to the line diagram!”
Lu Li made up his mind. He could not put all his eggs in one basket. The warriors of the nine universes could come at any time. He did not have much time left.
The battle at the Valley of Feather woke him up. The Feather Wind castle and weapons were not as powerful as he had thought.
He might be able to kill regular Semi-God Realm warriors but definitely not advanced Semi-God Realm warriors. Without relying on the Wicked Bead, once he was faced with some Semi-God Realm warriors with incredible skills, he would be killed in an instant!
Both the Asmodians and the Feather Race had Originator Artifacts. How much stronger were the warriors from the Mage Imperial Universe compared to Asmodians? Did they have Originator Artifacts as well? Ye Nishang could invite an avatar of the God of Wings. The families of the nine universes could do so as well.
Many major families of the nine universes had a history that was worth millions of years. Some families had warriors that ascended to the Divinity, including the Wu Family of the Mage Imperial Universe!
Imagine this, when someone tried to eliminate the Wu Family, of course, their immortal ancestor would not sit around without helping them.
If the Wu Family could inform the Wu Family’s immortal ancestor through some secret skill, then the immortal ancestor would definitely help the Wu Family. After all, with some help, the Wu Family could obtain the Wicked Bead, a piece of Relic to protect their family. The Wu Family would grow more stabilized and stronger!
“No, I am still too weak. I must become stronger!”
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. From the depth of his soul came a great sense of danger. He suddenly shouted after a moment, “I need someone here!”
“Whoosh.”
Some scouts were nearby. One of them came over, bowed and said, “Saint Lord!”
“Tell Great Grandfather Five to collect me some powerful Origin Blood Essence, some out of the ordinary beat claws, horns or tails or something. The more powerful, the stranger, the better!”
“Yes, my lord!”
Scouts went off to send the message. Lu Li was deep in his thoughts. After a while, he murmured to himself, “I have four Bloodline skills already. Can I have more Bloodline skills? If I can, I will be empowered!”
Every time he awakened a new Bloodline skill, it would be stronger than the previous one. If he could have more, he could not even imagine the power of the new Bloodline skills.
“I need someone here!”
Lu Li shouted again after some thoughts, “Send another message to my Great Grandfather Five. I need more food for the Dragon Demon. Ask Great Grandfather Five to get more food and feed the Dragon Demon till it is stuffed.”
The Dragon Demon was strong. When nurtured to the best state, the Dragon Demon was said to be able to compare with immortals. If that was true, Lu Li would not be worried even if the warriors of the nine universes possessed strong skills.
The Dragon Demon was in the Inferno and so was Little White. Little White was recovering quickly. Given the strength of its body, it was not surprising that Little White could heal itself.
“Cultivate.”
Thinking for a while, Lu Li began to swing the saber again. In this process, he thought back on the day when he released the move. While doing so, he recalled the visuals he saw from the Slayer’s blood.
One, one hundred, ten thousand!
Lu Li remained restless and wild. He forgot the passage of time and everything else. He devoted his mind to practice.
Time flew by. Soon, it had been 10 days. He was disappointed that… he still could not learn the move.
“I will never… learn the move?”
Lu Li murmured to himself. He flew to the hot spring in the distance. Jiang Qiling and the twins were there. Since he was injured, the three of them had been keeping him company and they were still worried at the moment…
He returned to the manor which Jiang Qiling named “Manor of Rose”. His three wives came to greet him. Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue were worried when they saw Lu Li frowning.
Lu Li said he wanted to study something important. He was gone for over half a month and returned with a frown. It was clear that he had failed.
“Darling, finally, you are back…”
Bai Xiashuang was more simple-minded. She did not overthink things. She greeted Lu Li with a smile and a hug and said, “You have just recovered. Why do you have to start cultivating so soon? Great-grandpa has reached the Semi-God Realm, right? You don’t have to put so much stress on yourself with him here. You can hang out with us every day.”
“…”
Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue looked at each other speechlessly. Lu Li told them little but clever as they were, they could tell many things. After all, they knew Lu Li very well.
They assumed that Lu Li had a powerful enemy who had not come yet. That was why Lu Li had been cultivating so wildly.
They were smart enough not to press Lu Li on things he did not share with them to lessen the pressure he was feeling. They cultivated and made efforts, hoping that someday they could lift some of the burdens off from his shoulders.
“Ha, ha.”
Lu Li patted Bai Xiashuang’s head fondly, hugged her and said, “Shuang-er, you are right. I am sorry. I have been stubborn. From now on, I will try to stay with you more.”
He looked at Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue with an apologetic smile and said, “Don’t worry. Trust your man. With me here, the world will not come to an end.”
“No!”
Jiang Qiling shook her head and said, “It does not matter whether the world is coming to an end or not as long as you are sound and well. I will be happy as long as we are together even if we are in hell.”
Bai Qiuxue added, “She is right. Darling, you know what we care about…”
“Good!”
What more could Lu Li say? He nodded with a smile. He felt immense care and tender from his wives. Who could ask for more with wives like them?
