Chapter 705: Deranged
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
The waiter didn’t know too much high level information, but he did understand the basics. Lu Li spent six hours talking to the waiter. He spent tens of thousands of Purple Xuan Crystals but did get much useful information.
With the help of the waiter, Lu Li had gained a fundamental understanding of the Central Imperial Universe.
The Central Imperial Universe was large and had a history of millions of years. It had been under the control of humans. Dynasties lived and died, but the universe remained stable.
The current three major families had been governing the three dynasties for a long time. The three families boasted a long history. That was especially true for the Leng Family and the Feng Family, which had been in existence for almost a million years.
Lu Li was marveled at the fact. The beginning of human’s existence at the Heaven Reverse Universe was a million years. The Leng Family and the Feng Family’s history could compare to that of humans at the Heaven Reverse Universe…
Those were qualified to be called the distinguished households. Lu Li couldn’t imagine how resourceful those families were.
The waiter had given an explanation, and Lu Li found it reasonable. It was said that Feng Family and Leng Family had many small to medium-scaled worlds under control. The Leng Family and Feng Family at the Central Imperial Universe might suffer from destruction, but before long, the Leng Family and the Feng Family would rise up again. Their powerful warriors can return to the Central Imperial Universe and ascend to the throne once again.
Super families like this were many at the Central Imperial Universe. There were dozens of them that were known to the public. All of those families were well-connected and boasted a history of hundreds of thousands of years.
But Lu Li did have one question. He asked the waiter if there was a Yin Family among the super families. The waiter stated that he had never heard of one. There were some Yin Families but none were powerful.
Yin Qingsi was powerful!
The Wicked was fearful of Yin Qingsi’s family, and she had stated clearly that she was from the Central Imperial Universe. If so, why didn’t the Yin Family have any fame at the Central Imperial Universe? This didn’t make any sense.
Leng Wuxin and Leng Wushang’s information was low hanging fruit. One of them was the most favored young lady at the Leng Family, and the other the most distinguished young master. They were the noble princess and prince.
Leng Wushang was more famous than Leng Wuxin. He had been unofficially regarded as the crown prince. Therefore, he enjoyed a great reputation at the Central Imperial Universe.
Lu Li sent the waiter away. He stayed in his own room and felt the matter at hand quite troublesome.
There was no doubt that the Leng Family was powerful. Lu Li didn’t know how many Earth Immortal Realm warriors there might be, but he was sure the family had more Human Sovereign Realm warriors than he could imagine. It might even be difficult for a Noble Lord Realm warrior to volunteer as their door keeper.
“What should I do?”
Lu Li took out some paper and a pen. He wrote down the name of Shang and Xin. His life was in the hands of Leng Wuxin, and to live, he must find a way to kill Leng Wushang.
However, the life of the future official crown prince of the Leng Family was not so easy to take. Say Lu Li could kill Leng Wushang, would he be able to flee? Would Leng Wuxin really give him the antidote and arrange everything so he could be sent back to the Heaven Reverse Universe?
“There is no way!”
Leng Wuxin wasn’t so capable. Leng Family was too strong. If Lu Li dared to kill Leng Wushang, there was no doubt that he would die. He wouldn’t even have the chance to flee back to the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos.
“Proceed and we shall see.”
Lu Li sat in the room for half a day and envisioned many plans. In the end, he knew he must go to the Leng Family. At least, he should get the first batch of antidote, or he would die from the venom soon.
“Cultivate. Cultivate for 10 days and then teleport to the City of Leng!”
Overthinking wouldn’t do him much good. He could develop many plans but none would be useful until he reached the Leng Family. Only there could he find out what was going to happen. Lu Li sat with his legs crossed. He focused on cultivating to stabilize his realm.
After cultivating in his room for 10 days, he found his Bead of Life became more compact. It would remain so unless it was under serious attack.
“That’s about it. I should go now!”
Lu Li walked out and enjoyed a nice meal downstairs. He then swaggered toward the Teleportation Formation and sat off on his way to the City of Leng according to the map.
Teleportation Formations here were obviously classier than those at the Heaven Reverse Universe. The distance could be further. Lu Li teleported from city to city, enjoying the diversified views. He didn’t feel much different from the Central Plains. The only thing that stood out was the sheer number of powerful warriors.
Warriors here were more advanced than in the Heaven Reverse Universe generally speaking. Here, Human sovereign Realm warriors were treated in the same way as Noble Lord Realm warriors in the Heaven Reverse Universe. Human Sovereign Realm warriors were not rare, and Noble Lord Realm warriors were everywhere. Regular army warriors were all at the Noble Lord Realm.
The City of Chaos was in the intersection where the three dynasties met. The city didn’t belong to any dynasty and had always been independent from any force.
From the City of Chaos, Lu Li teleport to the west to the Leng Dynasty. Every time, he would take the larger Teleportation Formations which would take him across a region quickly.
“Why is the Central Imperial Universe so similar to the Heaven Reverse Universe?”
This doubt sprang to Lu Li’s mind after he teleported across dozens of cities. This was a question that he had been having for quite some time now. The doubt became more profound at the moment.
The Central Imperial Universe and the Heaven Reverse Universe were not connected. They were far apart from each other. In history, there should be nobody from the Central Imperial Universe that ever went to the Heaven Reverse Universe. If it were not for the Inferno, Lu Li wouldn’t even know about the existence of the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos.
If so!
Why could people of the Central Imperial Universe speak the ancient language? Why were they cultivating in a similar way? Why are the distinctions between realms the same, there being Noble Lord Realm, the Human Sovereign Realm, and the Earth Immortal Realm? Profound Meanings and Bloodline Skills…
If one or two things were the same, then it wouldn’t prove anything. However, it was surprising that Lu Li felt no different from being in the Central Plains when flying in the Central Imperial Universe.
“Were the ancestors of humans in the Heaven Reverse Universe from the Central Imperial Universe?”
A bold idea came to Lu Li’s mind. If the ancestors of humans in the Heaven Reverse Universe originally from the Central Imperial Universe, then it would all add up.
Humans in the Heaven Reverse Universe had passed on living habits, cultivation methods, and the ancient language…
Of course, this was all Lu Li’s speculation. He couldn’t find someone to verify his theory now. He had to teleport on. He enjoyed a day to rest after several days and then resumed his trip.
Lu Li finally arrived at a large city 12 days later.
The city was built on the peak of a mountain. Under the setting sun, the twilight sprinkled over the entire city, gliding the city and adding a touch of magic to it.
The city was heavily populated. The city was crowded with traffic and vehicle.
Standing in the Teleportation Formation, Lu Li squinted and looked at the plaza. He seemed to be in a daze. He felt like… he didn’t know where he was.
There was nothing wrong with Lu Li. The reason for his bizarre behavior was because of a huge stone statue in the plaza!
The statue was at least 1000 feet tall. It was of an informed old man. He had white beard and eyebrows, but his hair was black. He held a scroll in his hands. He was more like a learned man than a warrior!
Looking at the statue, Lu Li was puzzled. He looked around as if he was deranged. He even pinched his own thigh to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.
The tingling from his inner thigh told him that everything was real. The view around the plaza was unfamiliar. This was the City of Leng!
But…
Why would there be such a statue in the City of Leng?
Should the statue be at the Demon-slaying City in the Heaven Reverse Universe? Why would it be here? Lu Li was confused and at a complete loss.
He was more than familiar with the statue. It was… of Emperor of Heaven Reverse!
The chosen warrior among humans in the Heaven Reverse Universe, the only supreme emperor for people there. How could the Emperor of Heaven Reverse’s statue be placed in the imperial city of another universe? How could Lu Li remain calm under this circumstance?
“Can it be that the Emperor of Heaven Reverse was not from the Heaven Reverse Universe, but from the Central Imperial Universe?”
In a flash, Lu Li had an idea. If that was true, then it would make perfect sense that the Heaven Reverse Universe was similar to the Central Imperial Universe.
