Chapter 1199: Great Care

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

It took Lu Li merely seven days to return to the Earth Imperial Universe. His triumphant return was welcomed by a large crowd.

The crowd was not just made of people from the Heaven Reverse Universe, but also other warriors from the nine universes to congratulate Lu Li. There were warriors from the remaining native Earth Imperial Universe’s families as well. They believed some of the mojos of an immortal could rub off on them. Some young warriors waited outside the City of Great Land. Even a glance at an immortal could give them something to brag about.

There had been other warriors ascending to the Divinity from the nine universes. Even from some smaller worlds, such as the Waters Region, there had been immortals.

However, Lu Li was the youngest of all. This was unprecedented. What was more, he had accomplished something that nobody had ever done before—he breached the Relic city before he became an immortal.

For this, many people thought highly of Lu Li. Some even alleged that Lu Li would be more accomplished than Yan Tiangang and that he had a chance to return with victory!

Of course…

There was a fair share of people who turned up their nose at Lu Li. Those people were convinced that Lu Li would lose his life as soon as he reached the Divinity because he had offended Yan Tiangang. Yan Tiangang, after all, was a mighty warrior in the Divinity, the patriarch of a township in the Black Dragon Mansion, one of the top 10 forces in the southern Divinity.

As far as most people could tell, patriarchs were always the higher-ups whichever force they were in. In the nine universes, the patriarchs were leaders of their respective families. Besides, the Black Dragon Mansion was one of the top 10 forces in the southern Divinity. There was no way that Lu Li could escape Yan Tiangang’s pursuit.

Just like a warrior from the Waters Region had come to the Earth Imperial Universe. Imagine this warrior had upset a patriarch of one of the top 10 forces here. Could the warrior live comfortably in the Earth Imperial Universe?

Truth be told…

What those people did not know was that it was not one immortal that Lu Li had offended. He had also displeased God of Sorcerer, God of Barbarian, and God of Wings. In particular, the hatred between Lu Li and God of Wings could not be settled. If God of Wings was informed about Lu Li going to the Divinity, the former would bend over backward to chase after Lu Li.

Lu Li did not worry too much over such matters at the moment. He accepted the praise and enjoyed a banquet with those that had come to greet him. The Lu Family had already set hundreds of tables, and all the Family Patriarchs were already seated.

Lu Li was approachable. Assuming airs might no longer be necessary for him at his stage. He was at a level higher than others. His presence alone could inspire awe.

Lu Renhuang exclaimed to himself that Lu Li was smart to talk to those Family Patriarchs from the nine universes with a smile.

Lu Li was about to ascend to the Divinity. To start a feud with those families could put the Lu Family in danger. The Family Patriarchs would be flattered to see Lu Li treating them so nicely. Their hostility toward the Lu Family would wane, which would facilitate the Lu Family’s development into the future.

It might sound impressive when someone had to fight against the world. As a matter of fact, that could lead to destruction. Even an elephant could die when bitten by countless ants. The Lu Family could not escape from adversity or destruction if they had set others against themselves.

Lu Li never proposed a toast, but he would drink when others did. Even this had excited many warriors. To drink with an immortal was something they could brag about their entire lives…

The banquet started at noon and finally ended at night. Lu Li had formed ties with others for the Lu Family. At the end of the banquet, Lu Li relieved the spiritual link with the Relic armor and weapon publicly and handed them to Lu Renhuang.

Lu Renhuang was startled. Lu Li explained with a smile. His physical body was as strong as the Relic armor, and therefore, he had no use for the Relic armor and weapon anymore. He would rather leave them to protect the Lu Family.

Many people were jealous and admired Lu Li’s wise move. By handing the Relic weapon and armor to Lu Renhuang in public, Lu Li was telling other families in the nine universes that they should never act against the Lu Family or else Lu Renhuang could wipe out any family by leveraging the Relic armor and weapon!

What was the reason that the Yan Family could stay the ruler of the nine universes? The reason was that the Yan Family had the Relic city, armor, and weapon. The Relic city could make sure that the Yan Family could stay alive, while the Relic armor and weapon could facilitate the Yan Family in offensive gestures.

Any warrior at the peak of Semi-God Realm could remain undefeated in the nine universes. The Relic weapon could finish most warriors, and that was the absolute deterrence!

Thanks to this carrot and stick policy, after this banquet, Lu Li had bought at least a hundred years of peace for the Lu Family. Lu Li’s family had a weak foundation. That being said, enjoying the vast resources from the Earth Imperial Universe after a hundred years, the Lu Family could become one of the most prosperous households in the nine universes.

All was quiet at the dead of night. The guests left. Instead of taking a rest, Lu Li talked with Lu Renhuang, Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Lu Zhengyang, and Great Grandfather Five till the small hours.

Afterward, Lu Li left with Lu Renhuang instead of going to Jiang Qiling and the twins. Lu Li flew at the top of his speed and headed toward the Prison of Gold. From there, they went to the Prison of Water and finally arrived at the Prison of Wood.

He was not paying a visit to his hometown before he ascended to the Divinity. He came to see the Dragon Demon.

The Dragon Demon was a creature from the Region of Doom, and it was young, far from mature. It would take the Dragon Demon decades even over a hundred years to reach the prime of its life.

That being said…

Once the Dragon Demon became as powerful as an immortal, the Dragon Demon could face no threat in the nine universes.

Lu Li took Lu Renhuang here so as to transfer the Dragon Demon to Lu Renhuang. It was pointless for Lu Li to bring the Dragon Demon to the Divinity. On the other hand, the Dragon Demon could help the Lu Family greatly. After decades or a hundred years, when the Dragon Demon became a Mythical Creature, it would provide everlasting protection to the Lu Family.

Lu Li had gone great lengths to take care of his family and friends.

Lu Li canceled his spiritual link with the Dragon Demon. Even so, the Dragon Demon did not even dare to move. While not intelligent, the Dragon Demon did understand how powerful Lu Li was.

Under Lu Li’s instruction, Lu Renhuang and the Dragon Demon established a bond. The Dragon Demon became Lu Renhuang’s spiritual beast. Lu Li felt he could finally rest his mind. Blazing Huo was Lu Renhuang’s soul slave. The only spiritual beast Lu Li had was the Deaf Taoist.

Well, there was Little White. But there was no contract between Little White and Lu Li. Little White was more like Lu Li’s younger brother than his spiritual beast.

“Go back!”

Lu Li did not head back to the Heaven Reverse Universe after the Dragon Demon was taken cared of. There was little time. He and Lu Renhuang hurried back to the Earth Imperial Universe at the top of their speed.

It took Lu Li over a dozen days to get there. Lu Li had over a month to stay with his family and friends, and most importantly, to keep his three wives company.

As a matter of fact, Lu Li thought he could visit the Forbidden Ground of Elder God to obtain Emperor Heng’s Relic weapon and armor. With those, he could have greater help. Given his current abilities, he should be able to survive the Inhibition Formations in the Forbidden Ground of Elder God to search for the hidden treasures.

Eventually, after much deliberation, Lu Li decided to give up. The most valuable treasures Emperor Heng left behind, the Wicked Bead and the Map of Fundamental Principle, were all his. The Relic weapon and armor should be left to someone else.

Besides, if he had gone to the Forbidden Ground of Elder God, it would take him a month or two. He might miss the date of ascending to the Divinity. Besides, he would have no time to be with his beloved wives.

Compared to treasures, Bai Xiashuang, Bai Qiuxue, and Jiang Qiling were more valuable. Ascending to the Divinity meant that Lu Li had to be parted from his three wives. If the three of them could not ascend to the Divinity, or he could not become a super mighty warrior in the Divinity, then he and his three wives would never meet again.

The three of them understood this. They were with Lu Li day and night. None of them asked about the Divinity, and none of them asked Lu Li when he would leave.

Like their days in the Valley of Cherry Blossoms, they enjoyed each other’s company quietly. They must cherish this time; the time they could spend together for the last time.
