Prison of Wood!

Lu Li, who was cultivating, was startled. One of He Yue’s subsidiary bodies was here. She would notify Lu Li in case of any emergencies.

“Is Yan Zhen here?”

Lu Li opened his eyes. People could look deep into his eyes as if they were black holes. People could not help but be lost in the world in his eyes.

He Yue’s subsidiary body danced around in the sky in strange trajectories. Lu Li observed for a while. He stopped frowning.

Yan Zhen was not here. But… avatar of Emperor of Heaven Reverse was here and was asking for Lu Li?

Emperor of Heaven Reverse rarely manifested himself. The altar and statue were rebuilt. If Emperor of Heaven Reverse were to ask about the battle before, he would have come sooner. He must have another agenda.

Lu Li checked his body and then the immortal’s body. Making sure that everything was fine, he stood up and stretched his body.

He had learned eleven diagrams of the Map of Fundamental Principles. Only one was left. When he combined the 12, he would have mastered the Origin Fundamental Principle and thereby became an immortal.

“I need to go!”

Lu Li had to be careful when the Emperor of Heaven Reverse called for a meeting. He dashed out from the Wicked Bead. Bai Qiuxue, Bai Xiashuang, and Jiang Qiling were all here. He waved his hand and said, “Let’s go. We will go to the Demon-slaying City.”

“Okay!”

The three of them had not been cultivating. Since Jiang Qiling reached the Semi-God Realm, she found it harder to continue. She decided to rest for a period of time.

Bai Qiuxue was not progressing fast. The fourth level of Enchantment was too intricate for her. She could not master it anytime soon. As for Bai Xiashuang, she was still at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm, not even the Human Sovereign Realm…

They left the Valley of Cherry blossoms. First, they teleported to the King Kong City and then to the Demon-slaying City.

Every time they arrived at a place, this group would be the focus of attention. The warriors would kneel down. Lu Li was the god of the Heaven Reverse Universe and Jiang Qiling and the twins were the queens, the motherly model of the nation.

“Such ideal couples!”

Many people looked at Jiang Qiling and the others with envy and admiration. A life such as Lu Li’s would be worthwhile. What they did not know was the suffering Lu Li went through…

Since there were Teleportation Formations along the way, Lu Li and his three wives arrived at the Demon-slaying City in more than an hour. The city had been restored. Warriors of the Demon-slaying City came back and the prosperity of the city returned.

At the moment, in the plaza of the Demon-slaying City, many people were on their knees. Patriarch of Law Enforcement and Jiang Tianshun were at the front of the group, excited and full of respect.

When Lu Li came from the Teleportation Formation, he noticed the huge shadow above the statue at once. Just as before, Emperor of Heaven Reverse’s shadow was thirty feet tall with a book in his hands, wisdom, and mercy in his eyes.

Lu Li walked over with his three wives, dropped to one knee and said, “Greetings, your Majesty.”

“Greetings, your Majesty!”

Jiang Qiling and the other three knelt as well. This was the ancestor of the human race. Without him, the humans of the Heaven Reverse Universe could be wiped out, let alone enjoying the glory they had today.

“Rise, please!”

Emperor of Heaven Reverse’s ancient voice was heard. After a moment, he sent another order, “You can all leave now except for Lu Li.”

“Let’s go!”

Patriarch of Law Enforcement stood up. The tens of thousands of people kneeling on the plaza left. Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Jiang Qiling, Bai Qiuxue, Bia Xiashuang, Jiang Tianshun, and Patriarch Sun went to a castle.

“Buzzing~”

Emperor of Heaven Reverse’s book glowed. The characters written on the book flew out and encircled Lu Li and the statue.

Lu Li did not worry. Emperor of Heaven Reverse had isolated psychic power so that their conversation would not be heard by others.

“Lu Li, you can stand up now!”

Emperor of Heaven Reverse’s tone turned warmer. He looked at Lu Li with admiration and satisfaction and nodded. “You have done a nice job of forcing back the warriors of the nine universes and protecting the Heaven Reverse Universe. I want to say thank you on behalf of the people of the Heaven Reverse Universe and myself.”

Lu Li did not claim credit for himself. He bowed. “Emperor, please do not say so. I am a child of the Heaven Reverse Universe. Of course, I have to protect the Heaven Reverse Universe. What is more, the enemies came because of me. I have to stand up to them till the end even at the cost of my life.”

Emperor of Heaven Reverse was grateful—of this, Lu Li was aware. People of the Heaven Reverse Universe all worshiped Emperor of Heaven Reverse. If the place was wiped out, he would lose the energy of faith here.

“I see!”

Emperor of Heaven Reverse nodded. The shadow’s eyes glowed as he glanced at Lu Li. “You are progressing fast. I think you can become an immortal soon enough. It is Map of Emperor Heng that you obtained, right?”

“Yes!” Lu Li withheld any information. “I obtained the Wicked Bead and Map of Fundamental Principles from the Forbidden Ground of Elder God. Now, I have learned 11 diagrams and only one is left.”

“Okay. Learning the 12 diagrams is only the first step!”

Emperor of Heaven Reverse did not mention the Wicked Bead as if he did not mind. Or… he didn’t want to snatch treasures from his own people.

He gave Lu Li some guidance. “Learning the 12 diagrams is easy. But you can only become an immortal after you integrate them together to master the Origin Fundamental Principle. Integration can be difficult. You must be ready. On this point, no one can help you. You can only rely on yourself on this. I can only tell you that—Origin Fundamental Principle, everything with an origin. Truth, vanity, void and illusionary perceptions are intertwined together. The focus is on the origin and truth. When you understand the two words, you will see everything through.”

“Thank you, your Majesty!”

Lu Li noted down every word Emperor of Heaven Reverse had to say. Those were instructions from a mighty warrior in the Divinity. They could be helpful for Lu Li.

Emperor of Heaven Reverse added after a pause, “Don’t have the vain hope that you can occupy the Divine Imperial City of the Yan Family. That is a piece of great Relic. When you become an immortal, you’d better have a peace talk with the Yan Family. In that case, when you ascend to the Divinity, the Yan Family will not try to get the Wicked Bead and will not create trouble at the Heaven Reverse Universe. Yan Family doesn’t have the courage to upset me too badly. You don’t have to worry about the Heaven Reverse Universe.”

Lu Li thought for a while and replied, “If I cannot destroy the Yan Family, I will start a peace talk with them. But if I can, I… will not flinch.”

“If you can do it, then it’s okay!”

Emperor of Heaven Reverse didn’t try to talk to Lu Li out of it. If Lu Li had such abilities, Yan Tiangang couldn’t do anything no matter how wrathful he was. He was in the Divinity. It was not like he could return to the Heaven Reverse Universe from the Divinity.

“I have an important matter to discuss with you.”

Emperor of Heaven Reverse said. “I am at the Swords Mountain at southern Divinity, and I am the master of Sword Sect. When you ascend to the Divinity, you will be at southern Divinity. But I cannot say for sure which region. I have to cultivate recently. It may last for years, or dozens of years, or hundreds of years. I will not be able to look after you. My sect is in the face of danger and we are withdrawing to protect ourselves. I cannot send someone to come to you. If you ascend soon, come to the Swords Mountain and look for me. When you are here, I will accept you as my protégé and pass onto you my learnings.”

“Swords Mountain, Sword Sect!”

Lu Li committed it to his memory. He nodded. “Thank you, your Majesty. When I ascend to the Divinity, I will look for you at the Swords Mountain.”

“Keep up the good work!”

Emperor of Heaven Reverse’s shadow was thinning down. He left one last message, “The silver dragon in your soul is powerful. Study it. If you can take complete control of the silver dragon, you will soar in the Divinity and your achievements will be as powerful as mine.”
