Chapter 1123: A rescript for penitence

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

While the nine universes were in turmoil, the Heaven Reverse Universe was settling down.

After Yan Zhen was killed, Lu Li believed he had survived this danger. Of course, he was still cautious. He had He Yue monitor all places. What if there were other powerful warriors of the Yan Family hiding somewhere?

Lu Li put away his Relic weapon, armor and Yan Zhen’s Interspatial Ring. Lu Li asked He Yue to get someone here to deal with the aftermath while Lu Li went to a nearby city to tend to his wounds.

His wounds were not quite serious. But he was down spirited and exhausted.

This time, because of him, so many civilians were implicated. His mind was heavy with regret and guilt. Besides, he was injured. He decided not to think too much and hid in a small city to tend to his wounds and sleep.

Before he fell asleep, he gave an order. He said that the bones and corpses of the deceased civilians must be gathered and buried together. Also, a monument was to be built. Lu Li said upon completion, he would go and carry Yan Zhen’s head with him to pay tribute.

Patriarch of Law Enforcement came in person. Jiang Qiling and the twins came over as well when safety was ensured. They were Lu Li’s wives and they knew him better than anyone. Now, was the most miserable time for Lu Li. He needed their comfort.

Patriarch of Law Enforcement took the follow-up matter in his own hands. Lu Zhengyang and others came to the Clouds Plains and Hu Lang was commended. Lu Zhengyang gave the right to rule the Clouds Plains to Hu Lang. This time, Hu Lang had made a great contribution and he had helped Lu Li greatly.

A large number of warriors were mobilized to collect the bodies; heal the wounded and rescue the dying and console the surviving civilians.

Lu Li woke up and fell asleep time after time. Several days went by in this state. It was not because his wounds were particularly strong, but that he was worn out.

When he woke up completely, Jiang Qiling and the twins had arrived by taking super Teleportation Formations. The three of them did not say much when they saw Lu Li in low spirits. They kept his company in silence.

He acquired two pieces of Relics and he eliminated a powerful enemy. Even so, Lu Li did not feel pleased at all. He lived in a small city for half a month and turned down all visitors.

Twenty days later, all the bodies were collected. They were buried in one place and a monument was built there.

Finally, Lu Li presented himself. He wore a black robe and went to pay tribute to the deceased civilians with Jiang Qiling and the twins. They bowed and kowtowed to the monument. Lu Li… even dropped to his knees, which made others do the same.

After he took out Yan Zhen’s head, Lu Li walked to the monument. He saw the words of praises on the monument. With dissatisfactions and he said, “Change all those words. Make it clear that those people died because of me. Write me a confession!”

“What?”

The warriors here were stunned. Wasn’t this too much? It was just some civilians that had been sacrificed. All wars would lead to casualties, not to mention that Lu Li gained a complete victory. It was not a big deal to implicate some civilians. Him kneeling down in respect was enough. Writing a confession would leave some stain for Lu Li in the historical record.

“What? My words can be disobeyed now?”

Seeing that nobody would move, Lu Li turned around and said coldly. Some patriarchs of the Lu Family began to bustle around. They rubbed down the words on the monument and then recurved it.

When all the work was done, Lu Li looked at everyone and said, “Nobody can rub off those words now. I want them to serve as a warning to our future generations. Those civilians died because of me. I am too arrogant. At first, I thought that I could crush any actions, if any, the Yan family would take. There is always someone better than us. If it were not for the fact that… I was fortunate enough to have learned something to achieve progress, I don’t know how many more were going to die at the Great Land. Do not call this monument the ‘Holy Spirit’. Call it ‘Rescript for Penitence’. Leave it for future generations. Let us remember that we cannot be arrogant and underestimate the enemies!”

Everyone here was in low spirits. They remembered Lu Li’s words. As far as they were concerned, Lu Li triumphed. Not only did he kill four warriors at the peak of the Semi-God Realm, but also the Family Patriarch. Lu Li acquired two Relics. However, his mind was weighed down and he made a confession. What a saint that cared about the world and full of kindness.

Bowed to the tombs in front of him again, Lu Li made a solemn vow, “I, Lu Li, swear that I will go to the nine universes to wipe out the Yan Family to revenge the deceased. If I break this vow, I will be condemned to hell throughout eternity and will never be excused.”

The solemn vow and the articulated words touched many people’s hearts. Many civilians were gathered around here. After all, the buried were once one of them. The civilians here knelt to Lu Li. As far as they were concerned; the black-robed and white-haired man was no different from Emperor of Heaven Reverse back in the days.

Having buried the civilians, Lu Li freed himself from other matters. With Jiang Qiling and the twins, he returned to the Prison of Wood. He wanted to keep them company for some time and at the same time, try to take control of the two pieces of Relics. After his abilities were enhanced, he was going to go to the nine universes.

Lu Li did not try to learn the Map of Fundamental Principle. It had been a long time but he could not integrate it. Clearly, that was not something that could be done any time soon. Before he could master the wind-related Fundamental Principle, he could not become an immortal.

Lu Li had now learned the Slayer’s move and he gained two Relics, which boosted his abilities. Now, he was not that desperate to master the Map of Fundamental Principle.

There was another matter he realized he had not done, to work on the next seal of the Wicked Bead. Upon reaching the Semi-God Realm, he could dissolve another seal. He was so busy with the Map of Fundamental Principle that this matter had slipped from his mind.

He almost forgot about the Bead of Wood as well. He didn’t even remember to use it this time…

Therefore, he didn’t try to integrate the Map of Fundamental Principle but devoted to the Slayer’s move to stabilize the knowledge. He believed that if he could elevate the Slayer’s move to the highest level, he could become an immortal.

“Well… ice, wind, darkness, soul, and thunder. As a matter of fact, I can go to the Prison of Wind. Maybe, the wind-related Fundamental Principle can be mastered in the Prison of Wind.”

Lu Li remembered that in the Prison of Ice, Lu Renhuang’s progress was faster. It was said that he had reached the Semi-God Realm a long time ago and was about to make another accomplishment recently. So, if Lu Li went to the Prison of Wind, he might be inspired and it would be easier to learn the Map of Fundamental Principle.

“Yes. That is what I am going to do!”

Lu Li made up his mind. He would take some time to take control of the Relic weapon and armor—and then dissolve another layer of the Wicked Bead. Afterward, he would go to the Prison of Gold.

If possible, he would go to the Divine Imperial Universe and break down the Divine Imperial City to destroy the Yan Family. If the Divine Imperial City could not be destroyed, Lu Li planned to go to the Prison of Wind to try to integrate the Map of Fundamental Principle and become an immortal.

He did not go inside the Wicked Bead. Lu Li stayed in the Valley of Cherry Blossoms. He divided the Xuan Energy he cultivated into three groups, one poured into the Relic armor, one to the weapon and one to the Wicked Bead.

After a while, Lu Li became more confident.

Since Yan Zhen could take control of the Relic armor and weapon, Lu Li could, as well, though a bit slow. Lu Li supposed that if he did not rest and kept on cultivating Xuan Energy, it would take him a year to dissolve the seal of the Wicked Bead and eight to nine months to take control of the two Relics.

“One year!”

A glint of coldness rose in his eyes. In one year, he would go to the Prison of Gold and attempt to go to the nine universes for a battle. This time, he would turn the world upside down for them.
