Chapter 735 - The Wicked Bead



Chapter 735: The Wicked Bead

Translator: Panda_Penn  Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li was inside a hall, an almost identical small hall was the one he was in earlier. In this small hall, there was also a table, a gate, and a Teleportation Formation.

What made this hall different was the scroll next to the wooden box on the table. The scroll was placed on the table, and it was readily available for Lu Li to find.

“Phew, phew~”

Looking at the scroll, Lu Li exhaled. He knew he had made the right decision. All his assumptions were proven right.

Emperor Heng naturally would bequest the special someone with his treasure. Otherwise, Lu Li wouldn’t be allowed into the previous small hall.

If there was a trace of hope, then Emperor Heng wouldn’t be so boring as to take it all away. Therefore, Lu Li had decided to put his hand on the black wooden box.

It was within reason that the second person wouldn’t dare to touch the box after the first one was struck to death. It would take great courage for the second person to do otherwise, and he would have to gamble with his life.

Emperor Heng was looking for someone that dared to defy death. When a warrior was fearful of death, the warrior couldn’t have traveled a long journey.

On the path to become a warrior and to change fate, one would encounter many fatal dangers. Even one escape would mean the warrior could never ascend to the peak during his lifetime.

Emperor Heng, who had become an immortal, must have run into countless deadly situations. He would not fancy someone that would flinch.

Lu Li took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He walked over to the table with caution and looked at the scroll.

The scroll had words written on it in the ancient language. There weren’t a lot, only a few dozens of words. After a thorough reading, Lu Li was overjoyed.

“The Wicked Bead!”

Those were the three words Lu Li first saw on the scroll which clearly carried an introduction of the artifact. Lu Li did see the history, usage, and some other remarks regarding the Wicked Bead.

According to the contents in the scroll, the Wicked Bead was an artifact that Emperor Heng obtained in the Divinity. The bead had more than one miraculous effects, but Emperor Heng had put six layers of seals in it. The seals could only be opened after reaching a certain stage in abilities. When the seals were opened, the miraculous effects shall unfold.

“A Relic!”

Lu Li was breathing heavily. The scroll didn’t specify that this was a piece of Relic. Since it was obtained in the Divinity, it was highly likely that the bead was a Relic.

Emperor Heng had put six seals in the bead, indicating that the bead was marvelous. He must be afraid that whoever got the bead could not control it so he had put some seals.

Of course, Emperor Heng might have other reasons to justify his actions. But the bead itself must be powerful, or else Emperor Heng wouldn’t have put seals in it, let alone six layers!

Lu Li reached out his hand to the box with no more fear. He opened the box and saw a cyan bead the size of a pigeon egg.

It seemed to be an average bead. There was no glow, no runes, nor any circulation of air. It was more like a cyan pebble.

“The Wicked Bead!”

The name reminded Lu Li of the warrior named the Wicked he met in the Prison of Gold. Lu Li picked up the bead and studied it. There was nothing noticeable about the bead. He supposed that he could throw it out and nobody would care to pick it up…

Control it!

Lu Li didn’t think of Leng Wuxin nor leaving, or entering the main hall. He sat down on the spot and used Xuan Energy to envelop the bead to gain access.

“Buzzing!”

The Wicked Bead glowed feebly. Lu Li felt excited. It seemed that the Wicked Bead was not difficult to control. He could just pour Xuan Energy in like he did when dealing with a Quasi Relic. The process would be completed when the entire bead began to glow.

Lu Li put his mind and soul into work. Nothing could matter more than the bead as of this moment. If this bead was indeed a Relic, all his problems could be solved. He would be in fear no more even if he had to get to the Leng Dynasty.

His original plan was to capture many young masters and young ladies and blackmail their families to attack the Leng Dynasty. He put this plan to the back of his head and decided the Wicked Bead was the priority.

Two hours, four hours and then 10 hours!

Lu Li had been trying for 10 hours. He opened his eyes in disappointment. He could sense that he was slowly gaining control, only that… it was so extremely slowly that he felt frustrated.

When he poured Xuan Energy in now, the bead was merely glowing a bit brighter than before, a tiny bit. He had spent 10 hours and this was the progress he made?

“Maybe my realm is too low to control a Relic.”

Lu Li was consoling himself. He gave Leng Wuxin and the other Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior outside the wind cave orders through the soul seed, telling them to stay where they were. Then, Lu Li took out some soul-nurturing elixirs. He started to cultivate Xuan Energy, work on the bead, and at the same time, he was studying Soul Shattering and Soul Snatching Skills.

“Eh?”

Once he began cultivating, Lu Li realized the Xuan Qi in the small hall was even richer than that in the wind cave. To cultivate here could move faster than when he was facilitated with precious materials.

“This is the small hall. What about the main hall. How fast can one cultivate there?”

Lu Li was curious. Soon, he expelled the thought from his mind. He knew not to aim too high lest the chips fall in his eyes. His realm was low. He could not even get into the main hall, let alone obtain the Relic weapons and armors in there.

Emperor Heng wouldn’t let a Noble Lord Realm warrior gain access to Relic armors and weapons so easily. Even if a Noble Lord Realm warrior could do so, the Relics would be snatched away from the warrior soon. To allow his own relics to be the subject of looting and snatching wouldn’t be Emperor Heng’s wish.

Lu Li hadn’t even gained control of the Wicked Bead yet. He was not overly ambitious. He focused on cultivating and working on the Wicked Bead.

One day, five days, and then 10 days!

Lu Li could tell that the Wicked Bead was glowing brighter and brighter, which was proof that the Wicked Bead was being taken under control bit by bit. But… the progress was slow. Lu Li felt he could only access less than one fifth of the bead after working on it for 10 days.

In other words, it would take Lu Li 200 days to gain complete access to the bead. That would be more than half a year. Lu Li would have been teleported out of the Forbidden Ground of Elder God already.

Lu Li frowned and poured more Xuan Energy in to speed up. It was okay since the accumulation of Xuan Energy was incredibly fast here.

After cultivating in the Forbidden Ground of Elder God for such a long time, Lu Li was on the verge of reaching the middle stage of the Noble Lord Realm.

In the cultivation of Noble Lord Realm, he only needed to make his Bead of Life more compact, instead of building other Beads of Life or Fate Wheels.

Every time a warrior made his or her Bead of Life more compact, the Bead of Life would shrink down a bit. The smaller the Bead of Life was, the higher the realm the warrior would be at.

By the time a warrior reached the peak of the Noble Lord Realm, the Bead of Life would be times smaller compared to it when the warrior was at the initial stage. The Bead of Life would be harder and indestructible. Its connection with heaven and earth would be closer as well. The warrior would then have an easier time to feel the world and learn Profound Meanings with the help of the Bead of Life.

Lu Li didn’t have time to attempt to reach the middle stage of the Noble Lord Realm for now. He planned on continuing cultivating and working on the Wicked Bead. In a month, his Bead of Life would become more compact. Then, he would be ready to try to reach the middle stage of the Noble Lord Realm.

Lu Li used merely five days when he was working on the Quasi Relic. The bead had six layers of seals and it could already take him months to try to gain control.

Lu Li was convinced that this artifact could bring marvels. He was really looking forward to finding out the miraculous effects of the bead after he could control it completely.

“A piece of relic…”

Could it help him to elevate his skills? If it could facilitate him to kill Earth Immortal Realm warriors, it would be the best.
