The Invincible Dragon Emperor Chapter 464

Time flies. One year and five months had pa.s.sed.

The Northern Desert had been peaceful with no appearance of another powerful warrior. Because of Jiang Qiling's influence, families at the northern Central Plains were afraid to create trouble for Lu Li. Therefore, nothing noteworthy happened.

Madam Yan had been dealing with government affairs while Yu Huashen was busy with military matters. The Northern Desert was orderly managed and in peace. Lu Feixue and Ming Yu hardly managed anything. They had been cultivating to elevate their Realms. Ming Yu went to a small world in the Thousand-island Lake on his own to cultivate and he had come out only once in over a year.

Nothing bad happened while good things kept popping up, which stemmed from the achieved elevation in realm warriors of the Northern Desert.

Many warriors had been cultivation at a fast pace over the past year. The root cause was the supply of resources Lu Li provided. He had bought tens of thousands of Pellets of Delicacy in one go and he brought back with him many Soul Crystals as well. Many warriors had seen their cultivation speed increase.

Two from the Cyan Phoenix Race and three from the Mammoth Race have reached the n.o.ble Lord Realm. Bai Xiashuang was at the peak of the Fate Wheel Realm, on her way to reach the Eternal Realm. Zi Lian… had already reached the Eternal Realm!

Lu Li's refusal hurt Zi Lian. She went back to the Heaven Martial City on her own and stayed in closed-door cultivation for one year and five months. She casted several Fate Wheels in a row and now was already at the Eternal Realm. Her talent was impressive.

Bai Leng had reached the n.o.ble Lord Realm. Several other young masters of the Bai Family accomplished a lot as well. Some children of the Bai Family had successfully awakened Bloodline of the seventh rank…

Lu Feixue was now at the middle stage of the n.o.ble Lord Realm and so was Ming Yu and Ye Cha. Many people had witnessed progress in their realms.

The Deserted World.

Given the amount of Mystical Materials and elixirs Lu Li brought there, many powerful warriors had been cultivating and progressing at an unprecedented speed. There were dozens more n.o.ble Lord Realms in different races.

Lu Li went to do business with Jiang Yi for four more times. Lu Li didn't sell his Mystical Materials for Xuan Crystals. Instead, he bought many Mystical Materials. Xuan Crystals alone wouldn't do much help to him. On the other hand, Mystical Materials could help many people make breakthroughs, which would enhance the comprehensive capacities of the Northern Desert.

There was a pity, though—n.o.body had reached the Human Sovereign Realm yet!

Lu Li gave Yu Huashen and Zi Huanqiao each a share of Mystical Materials for the cultivation of the Human Sovereign Realm. The latter two cultivated for half a year but failed. Lu Li provided the Deserted World five sets of such Mystical Materials. Five warriors at the peak of the n.o.ble Lord Realm attempted at the same time but none succeeded.

Lu Li was in the Deserted World right now. He spent all his time at the snow mountain when he was not required elsewhere. He could cultivate anywhere so he might just as well do it at the snow mountain. Bai Qiuxue might be able to sense his presence and she would be less scared.

Today, Lu Li came out from his cultivation. He smiled a smile of relief. Instead of leaving right away, he turned around and looked at Bai Qiuxue tenderly.

That was right!

He had been cultivating in the ice room. It was frigid in here. If he didn't use his Xuan Energy to fight back the cold air, he would be frozen as well. But to mobilize Xuan Energy at all time was hard work. Even with Xuan Energy, one could not feel comfortable in the ice room.

That being said, Lu Li didn't care. What Bai Qiuxue was going through was tens of thousands of times more painful than what he was feeling. His was nothing. Also, in such a room with bad temperature, his resistance to cold temperature had improved. Even if he entered a colder place, he wouldn't have a strong sense now.

"Qiuxue, I may have to leave your for some time."

Lu Li rubbed his fingers against the ice. His eyes filled with love. He murmured like a person who had lost his mind, "I have good news. I have just reached the Eternal Realm and I have a four-layered Fate Wheel now. I am leaving to find you the cure. Trust me. I will get it. Soon, you will be able to wake up."

Lu Li only went out four times during the past several months. He also spent some time dealing with many issues. In total, he had been cultivating for about a year.

This speed was already impressive. He could cultivate as fast as Zi Lian now. Still, he could not compare with Jiang Qiling. The Mystical Materials and pellets Jiang Qiling used must be of higher quality than Lu Li's.

Lu Li stood up with determination and left after he talked to Bai Qiuxue for a bit more. Pus.h.i.+ng the door open, he saw Bai Xiashuang sitting with her legs crossed in the hall and Little White curled up on her feet. Little White and Bai Xiashuang's relations.h.i.+p had been developing. When Lu Li was in closed-door cultivation, Little White had been staying with Bai Xiashuang.

"Squeak, squeak~"

Seeing Lu Li come out, Little White rushed into his arms in excitement. Bai Xiashuang was startled. She opened her eyes, looked at him and asked, "Lu Li, you are leaving?"

"Yes!"

Lu Li nodded and replied, "Shuang-er, I may have to be away for some time. If you need anything, go to Clan Leader Ye. You'd better stay in here. I don't…want the others to know about this place. Otherwise, we all might be killed."

"Okay!"

Bai Xiashuang had become mature. She nodded and replied, "I am not a child anymore. I understand. I will go nowhere. I will be here with my sister. Just…I miss my aunt."

"I know."

Lu Li continued after some thoughts, "How about…you go out with me and visit your aunt? But then you must come back. You cannot tell anyone about the situation here, not even your aunt and I must be there when you talk."

"Then no." Bai Xiashuang pouted and said, "I will stay here. I must cultivate hard. By the time you come back, I must reach the Eternal Realm."

"Alright."

Lu Li nodded and said, "Tell Clan Leader Ye if you need anything. He will give you anything he can provide as long as you don't cross the line. I need to bring Little White with me. Take care."

After some thought while watching Lu Li go, Bai Xiashuang said, "Lu Li, be careful."

She could tell that it was not a normal place where Lu Li would be going to. She could read something from his expressions and she was getting worried.

Lu Li turned back and answered with a gentle smile, "Don't worry. I am like a cat with nine lives. This tiny afterworld cannot take me in now. Take care. I have to go now."

Lu Li went to the Teleportation Formation after he gave Ye Cha some orders. The Teleportation Formation in the Deserted World had been built. Lu Li was teleported to the exit and then entered the small world of Green Dwarfs.

Population had grown in the small world. G.o.d of Meng asked a small family to migrate here and take over the small world. In this way, even if some enemies were to break in, they could be stalled and the Deserted World would not be exposed.

Lu Li teleported his way back to the Ling Empress City.

He told Madam Yan to come to him at once and asked her about the situation at the Northern Desert. Making sure that everything was fine, he told her a few orders. Then he asked Yu Huashen, Zi Huanqiao over and Lu Feixue who was in cultivation and spoke to them about his instructions.

"Lu Li, where are you going?"

Lu Feixue sensed something was off. On the surface, he seemed to be telling them about everyday instructions. But reading between the lines, she felt like he was trying to make them plan for the future.

"Nowhere."

Lu Li smiled gently and answered, "Aunt, I want to go to a small world. I heard that there are some rare Mystical Materials in there. But it is located at the northern Central Plains so I need to be gone for a while. Don't worry. I will be going with Jiang Qiling and the Jiang Family will send powerful warriors to protect us."

Lu Feixue put her mind at ease when she made sure that Jiang Family was going to send warriors to go with him. Bidding farewell, Lu Li disappeared into a Teleportation Formation on his own while Madam Yan, Yu Huashen, and Zi Huanqiao watched as he went.

Madam Yan, Yu Huashen, and Zi Huanqiao looked at each other. Somehow, they felt this was going to be a serious matter. They didn't buy Lu Li's words as easily as Lu Feixue did. They heard something else from Lu Li's words.

Lu Li must be going to a place where his life was at risk. If he died, the Empire of G.o.dly Prowess might fall apart immediately…
