Chapter 599: Give it a Try
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
All the Fire Leopards were eliminated after a day. Qu Cheng and the other three were worn out. They had killed more than 10,000 Fire Leopards in total. Even though they were not hurt, but it was exhausting to fight for such a long time.
Ke Mang and Ke Lv came back with some patriarchs of the Shadowland Race. The ancient formation must be difficult to be built.
Lu Li sent someone to clean up the field and collect all the bone spurs which could all turn to be Heaven Grade or even Holy Grade Xuan Artifacts.
The ancient divine formation was not completed yet. Lu Li could not ask Ye Cha to go ahead and collect information now for fear that more Fire Leopards would be lured here. Lu Li told Ye Cha and Ye Hu only to wander around nearby, stopping any creatures from coming across, which would influence Ke Mang and Ke Lv's work. At the same time, God of Meng was protecting nearby. The Shadowland Race warriors were not good fighters. Lu Li would hate to see one or two of them lose their lives.
Lu Ling decided not to go back to the Clouds Plains for now. If something happened, someone would come and notify her. She was very interested in the new world. She regarded Lu Li's matter as her own. Now that he needed help, she would not sit around and do nothing.
To build the divine formation would require time. After all, being one of the divine kind, it must be one of the most powerful formations mastered by the Shadowland Race. Ke Mang, Ke Lv and their patriarchs had been working for two days and it was not completed yet.
Lu Li didn't squander away his time. He asked someone to get more people in to build Teleportation Formations, arrange for water and food to be delivered. He also planned to have someone build a castle here, preparing for long-term battles.
As soon as they entered the new world, they ran into such a large group of Fire Leopards with each one of them as strong as warriors of the Noble Lord Realm. How many more creatures were there in the new world? How many powerful beings? Lu LI couldn't tell. He must take precautions and conquer the world bit by bit.
By the fourth day, the divine formation was completely. Lu Li and others walked out of the valley to inspect it. They were stunned.
Standing outside the valley, they could not sense its existence. It had become a huge, gloomy cave.
Similar with the illusion at Mount Mist, the divine formation had made the entrance of the valley disappear. They felt like they were wandering around in the cave. They could tell there were fatal dangers around. It was thrilling and they were shuddering in fear. After a while, they walked out of the cave before they knew it…
"That is incredible!"
God of Meng followed them out. He took a few glances and exclaimed, "I cannot see it through. If I hadn't known that there is a valley, there was no way I could have walked out."
Qu Cheng and the others came to look as well. Hu Lang and Qu Cheng couldn't feel it. Only Master of the Lotus Society had a faint feeling but if he had no knowledge of the existence of the valley, he wouldn't have the feeling, either.
"Clan Leader Ke, if we can conquer the new world, the Shadowland Race will receive the biggest award."
Lu Li and the others went back to the valley, guided by Ke Mang. Lu Li couldn't help but exclaim again.
Ke Lv looked at Ke Mang with a smile and said proudly, "Nobody from our race can learn the ancient formation, nobody apart from Ke Mang. We have nine divine formations passed down from our ancestors and we shall wait and see if Ke Mang can learn them all. Each divine formation is more impressive than the previous man. We have three that are not only illusions, but also have destruction functions. The strongest of them all can even exterminate Human Sovereign Realm warriors."
"Awesome!"
Ancient races all had their own skills and means. There was a reason that the Shadowland Race could survive. No ancient race should be underestimated. For example, the Enchantment of the Hag Race could be used to confuse others and it was quite incredible as well.
With such a divine formation as a protection barrier, everyone felt reassured. At least, they could fall back to the Deserted World and destroy the passage should some powerful enemies came to invade.
"Clan Leader Ye, Third Patriarch, I will leave you to the rest of the matter. Be careful and come back if you notice something is off."
Lu Li turned to Ye Cha. In order to conquer the small world, they must get a clear picture of its situation first. If there were strong creatures in here, they could make plans in advance and forgo the world.
Ye Cha was going with two patriarchs. They knew this was going to be an arduous mission. Ye Cha nodded and said, "Saint Lord, don't worry. We will be careful."
Ye Cha left. The rest had to wait again. Lu Ling was calm. She sat in her temporary tent, cultivating. She had sent Hu Lang back to the Clouds Plains to see if anything worth noticing was happening there.
Teleportation Formations were being built. It would connect to the entrance of the Serenity Plains passage. In this way, the journey around would be shorter. It would only take Hu Lang half a day to go to the Clouds Plains.
Lu Li went to a tent to cultivate and yet he could not settle his mind. For one thing, he was worried about Ye Cha and the three patriarchs. If they were to run into some creatures equivalent to Human Sovereign Realm warriors, they would face immense danger. For another, Lu Li was wondering if the new world had Bodhi Fruit.
Time moved on. Three days later, Fourth Patriarch of the Cyan Phoenix Race came back with some information.
The nearby areas were all Fire Leopards' territory. Ye Cha and the others had already ran into nearly a million Fire Leopards.
Fourth Patriarch was slower and his realm lower. Ye Cha sent him back to report first and didn't let him go any deeper.
"Nearly a million?"
Meng Zhi, Chee-kar and others were delighted by the fact. Near a million Fire Leopards would mean that much Heaven Grade Xuan Artifacts. If they could sell them to the Central Plains, they could earn a huge amount of Xuan Crystals. How many Mystical Materials could they buy with that? How many powerful warriors could benefit from it?
Lu Li and Lu Ling, on the other hand, felt their minds weighted down with anxiety. Ye Cha and the others had travelled far and met with so many Fire Leopards and yet they hadn't gone past the territory of the Fire Leopards. How big was this world? It was beyond their imagination.
Five days later, Ye Hu, Third Patriarch came back with a piece of more alarming news. They had left the territory of the Fire Leopards but encountered a creature much more powerful. The creatures were not weaker than Noble Lord Realm warriors and Ye Cha sensed that their king could have reached the Human Sovereign Realm.
"They have a king!"
Lu Li and Lu Ling became more nervous. That being said, Beast Kings wouldn't obstruct their plan. The Beast Kings could be dealt with slowly. What Lu Li and Lu Ling would not want to see was some creatures as powerful as Earth Immortal Realm warriors. In that case, they would have to let go of the new world.
Before they had a complete picture, neither Lu Li nor Lu Ling would make a move. They had to wait for the return of Ye Cha.
After eight days, Ye Cha finally came back.
He looked quite grim. He went to Lu Li and Lu Ling's tent and secretly reported his findings.
He must have travelled far during the more than 10 days' time. He should have covered the distance for half a Clouds Plains at least.
But he still felt the world was boundless after covering such a vast area. He only found five species with each had a population of more than one million. They all had some similar to Beast Kings.
Lu Ling heard Ye Cha out. Afterwards, she asked, "Is there any sign of humans living there?"
Ye Cha shook his head and said, "Not yet. I found many treasured materials and they are older than 100,000 years. If there were humans, they would have harvested the materials."
"Good!"
Lu Li and Lu Ling looked at each other, making up their minds. Lu Ling said, "I will get powerful warriors from the Clouds Plains here and Lu Li, you mobilize some from the Northern Desert. Get all the Noble Lord Realm warriors in here. We must give the world a try no matter how."
"Sure~"
They could not possibly let go of so many treasured materials. To collect them, then the few beast herds must be exterminated. Relying only on the Human Sovereign Realm warriors would not yield great efficiency. All the Noble Lord Realm warriors from the Clouds Plains and the Northern Desert must be deployed here.
This was a suitable place for practice as well. If the warriors could survive their battles here, their capacities would undergo great improvement.
