Chapter 604: Retaliation from the Samsara Palace
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
In a month!
More than 400,000 Fire Leopards were slayed. Illusion formation built by the Shadowland Race had helped to make it fast. Only about 10 Noble Lord Realm warriors died. Many were injured, though. That being said, Lu Ling had prepared many elixirs. Even broken hands could recover.
Slaying Fire Leopards was the plan so nobody felt particularly excited about this. What uplifted many was the fact that 11 people had learn something or the other during the month. Brother Six of the Tu Family had reached the Human Sovereign Realm smoothly and another warrior learned a sixth rank Profound Meaning.
For Noble Lord Realm warriors, moving from one stage to another was not a cause of overjoy. With enough supplies of materials and fine constitution, anyone could reach the peak of the Noble Lord Realm.
Profound Meanings mattered more!
Without powerful Profound Meaning, one could not reach the Human Sovereign Realm. The criteria of a powerful Profound Meaning was whether it was of at least the fifth rank. In other words, only warriors that learned a fifth rank Profound Meaning or higher had the chance to reach the Human Sovereign Realm.
There were 11 people that learned Profound Meaning in one month and one warrior reached the Human Sovereign Realm!
A chorus of reaction would come from the Central Plains if news spread across. The 12 Royal Families would try to snatch the land of treasure at all costs.
Of course…
How come it was so easy to learn Profound Meanings at the Inferno? What were the secrets hidden here? Everyone was thinking about this. Lu Ling had offered some explanation but it was not enough to answer the questions.
What kind of a place was the Inferno where nature laws were so clear? This was a question worth deliberating about. If the secrets of the world were revealed, there might be more warriors who could learn Profound Meanings here.
Ye Cha brought back some information that made many deep in thoughts.
Ye Cha picked a fruit which was common at the Central Plains, Northern Desert and the Clouds Plains. It was called the Fire Cloud Fruit. It was difficult for the fruit to grow. It would only enlarge every 1000 years and even then, it was only as big as a palm.
But!
The one brought back by Ye Cha was the size of a human body. By calculation, the Fire Cloud Fruit should be at least 100,000 years old.
More than 100,000 years ago, it was the middle ancient age in human history. Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race were still at the southwestern side of Central Plains and they were enjoying their glory.
At that time, apart from the two races, many other races were in their prime time as well. Humans were the overlord of the Central Plains but they hadn’t gained full control yet.
This was just some common fruit!
A common fruit, when found in a normal place, would be picked by many. If the fruit grew in a dangerous or hidden place, how long could it live? Fifty years? Or a million years?
The Heaven Reverse Universe was only a million years old. Could this Inferno have a history as long? This was unimaginable.
All the small worlds had a short history. The very first small world discovered in the Central Plains had a history of only hundreds of thousands of years.
What was more…
After they made the deduction that the Inferno could have been in existence for at least a million years, they didn’t feel it strange. The atmosphere in the Inferno had an ancient feeling. They would feel right even if they were told the Inferno had been in existence for tens of millions of years.
Was it because the Inferno had a long history and was an ancient world that people could learn Profound Meaning so easily?
The proposed notion was accepted by many. But nobody could say for sure given the lack of direct evidence.
They kept hunting down Fire Leopards. Ye Cha had confirmed that there were two Beast Kings. He hadn’t lured them over just yet.
Ke Mang was still building the ancient formation. To lure the Beast Kings over now would leave too many dead or wounded even though the total number of Human Sovereign Realm warriors had reached six.
Ke Mang had been working with his team for a long time but they had failed in every attempt. He never succeeded before and he was still experimenting.
Lu Ling didn’t reprimand him. Instead, she had given him enough materials for him to squander away even if he failed in the end.
Lu Li had been concentrating only on fighting the Fire Leopards and studying the Soul Shattering skill. He had forgotten himself over the month but had made little progress.
God of Meng had pointed to an incredibly difficult path. Lu Li was not only supposed to learn a Profound Meaning but one that must have a certain property, which was harder.
One day, amid a fierce fight, Ming Yu suddenly flew back, almost disrupting the formation. Zi Huanqiao and the others on the team were almost in danger. Luckily, a patriarch of the Cyan Phoenix Race took Ming Yu’s place and fought back the attacks from the Fire Leopards.
But they didn’t blame Ming Yu. Rather, they looked at him with joy. Seeing that he had went back to the valley, they were all pleased.
Ming Yu must have sensed something or else he wouldn’t run back without saying anything. Ming Yu had learned a second rank Profound Meaning, “Force”. He would have two Profound Meanings should he be successful.
Bai Leng and some others were happy and envious of him at the same time. Zi Huanqiao was burning with jealousy. He had made three attempts to reach the Human Sovereign Realm and had failed for three times. He had wasted many Mystical Materials.
Why was that?
Because Zi Huanqiao’s Profound Meaning was of fourth rank, too low. He felt if he could learn a fifth rank or sixth rank one, he would have a much easier time to reach the Human Sovereign Realm.
Lu Li was in no lack of Mystical Materials now. Should Ming Yu make a huge progress on his Profound Meaning, it was highly likely that he could reach the Human Sovereign Realm.
Lu Ling saw Ming Yu come back to the valley. She nodded in approval. She had been cultivating here and assuming command at the same time.
She was not used to participate in fights directly, though she was strong as well. She preferred to stay in the rear and have control of the general situation and devise strategies. This might be the common feature of wise people who didn’t like to face danger directly. They would rather consider about their own safety at all times.
“Send a word to my brother. Let him come back and have a rest.”
Lu Ling looked at Lu Li who was still fighting the Fire Leopards. She frowned and told a Noble Lord Realm warrior standing behind her.
That warrior left. He found Lu Li and told him what Lu Ling said. Lu Li recalled that it had been days since he rested and he had made no further progress. He came back to the valley.
“Eh?”
He was surprised to see Ming Yu and then asked in delight, “Ming Yu had sensed something?”
“Yes!”
Lu Ling understand the relationship between Ming Yu and Lu Li for Lu Li had told her. She nodded and said, “Just now. I don’t know what rank the Profound Meaning is. Luck dictates it. Before he can learn it, nobody can tell the rank.”
“Good!”
Lu Li nodded with satisfaction. He was happier for Ming Yu than when he himself made the breakthrough. Ming Yu was the most loyal to him. Lu Li was pleased that Ming Yu could develop.
“Sis, everything okay at the Northern Desert and the Clouds Plains?”
For over a month, Lu Li concerned himself about nothing outside. Now that he was having a rest, he must ask.
Lu Ling thought about it and said with a frown, “No major families from the Central Plains dare to come and make trouble. They only send over some scouts. The Northern Desert is fine. The Clouds Plains, however, is in a bit of a trouble. There are two forces at the Serenity Plains that are eager for actions. They seem to be preparing for invading the Clouds Plains. If I am right, I think the Samsara Palace is behind this.”
“Eh?”
A cloud came over Lu Li’s face. He was deep in thoughts.
Samsara Palace took a beating and they could not take it out on Lu Li. But they could vent their anger on the Clouds Plains. Of course, they would not do anything openly or they would anger the Grand Master of the Demon-slaying Hall. But when they found some forces of the Serenity Plains to take actions for them, the Grand Master of Demon-slaying Hall couldn’t say anything even if he knew.
