Chapter 559: Condemned Prisoners

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Even though God of Meng advised Lu Li to walk around, the latter couldn't afford the time. Third Patriarch could be back at any time now. What if when he comes back, Lu Li was nowhere to be found?

What was more, Lu Li's realm was still low. He decided to make a breakthrough on his realm first and build the fifth Fate Wheel. He must also first learn to use the Soul Shattering Skill. As for making it more powerful, it was a task for the future.

To his surprise, Bai Xiashuang came when Lu Li returned to the Snow Mountain of Dragons.

She really had become mature. Everyone out there were diligently cultivating. She didn't have fun outside so she came back soon to cultivate.

She and Bai Qiuxue were bound by blood and they had strong telepathic connection. With her cultivating nearby, Bai Qiuxue would be less fearful and lonely because she could sense Bai Xiashuang's presence.

Lu Li didn't disturb Bai Xiashuang. He went to closed-door cultivation on his Xuan Energy. At the same time, he had asked Ye Gu to prepare him the Mystical Materials to be used for building Fate Wheels. Lu Li was ready to make the fifth one.

For average warriors, they would be very nervous about failing at making a Fate Wheel. But this worry wasn't on the mind of Lu Li at all because he had many high level elixirs. For example, with the Rising Dragon Grass, odds of successfully reaching the Noble Lord Realm would be improved by half. Lu Li had purchased many elixirs at the Pavilion of Delicacy before, which could increase his chance at making a Fate Wheel smoothly.

Lu Li was talented and his foundation was solid. More importantly, he was young. If he failed, then he would be in such a bad luck.

The younger the warrior was, the faster the cultivation would be and the speed to learn Profound Meanings and arcane skills would be more rapid as well. When a warrior was young, bodily functions were good. Young men's minds were more keen and sharp in learning as well, which was why they could learn faster. When one grew older, bodily function would decrease, mind would be narrower and it would be more difficult to learn and perceive things.

Lu Li had temporarily stopped worrying about increasing vibration waves or studying the Soul Shattering skill. He had been cultivating Xuan Energy through day and night to prepare for making the fifth Fate Wheel.

After half a month, a piece of bad news came!

The Teleportation Formation at the Clouds City was sealed off. Ming Yu had come especially to report this. He said that a patriarch and a young master from the Samsara Palace had gone to Ji Wuwo directly. Later, the Pavilion of Delicacy issued an order and sealed off the Teleportation Formation at the Clouds City.

Now that the Teleportation Formation was closed, for people from the Northern Desert to go to the Central Plains, they would have to go across the sea. But there were many Xuan Beasts at sea and some of them were Beast Kings. Regular warriors would be essentially going toward their doom by crossing the sea. Lu Li couldn't ask God of Meng to go to the Central Plains to buy Mystical Materials, could he? That was even more of a suicidal mission…

Since the path to the Central Plains was cut off, the one to the Cyan Plains wouldn't have long.

It was all within Lu Li's expectation. He told Ming Yu to let Madam Yan pick up the speed of buying and selling Mystical Materials at the Cyan Plains.

There was another piece of bad news. It had been months but no news of Bodhi Fruit had been learned.

Not only Ming Yu but also Du Ran had sent back message to say that they failed to find it. Du Ran even suspected that this fruit was nonexistent at the Great Land. He had been asking around for a long time. Nobody had heard of this fruit and he didn't find any clue in the many ancient books he had read.

"This is not surprising…"

Lu Li had seen this coming. If the Central Plains had this Bodhi Fruit, the Immortal's Perish wouldn't be without a cure.

Lu Li had to see if other plains had it when the Central Plains didn't. If the Great Land didn't have the fruit, then he could only secure it at the Demon-slaying Hall.

The Demon-slaying Hall would open the small battlefield every three years. Lu Li was still young. Theoretically speaking, he could enter every three years and gain more points to get the Bodhi Fruit.

But clearly, he wouldn't have a chance to go to the Demon-slaying Hall after what had happened the last time unless he sneaked into the Du Family, kill all the powerful warriors of the Du Family and force his way in…

Lu Li had to let Ming Yu go for now to buy more Mystical Materials. The rest would have to be left up to fate. Lu Li also told Ming Yu to send in some condemned prisoners so that he could try his Soul Shattering skill out.

Generating vibration waves of physical strength was handled but he hadn't tried out vibration waves of soul attacks. The two methods were to be combined. To achieve the best result, he needed some human being to experiment with.

With Northern Desert being peaceful now didn't mean it was without small scale conflicts or that it was short of extremely violent and wicked men. There were some people who wiped out an entire family over some trivial matters or who had become violent toward civilians. Those men were captured right away and then put into the death cell. They could come in handy in cultivation.

Lu Li went on to cultivate for another one month. It had been almost three months since Third Patriarch left. Why wasn't he back yet?

Lu Li stopped cultivation. He had accumulated enough Xuan Energy. His soul was strong and so was his body. He could make the fifth Fate Wheel at any moment now.

Ye Gu had brought in Mystical Materials but Lu Li couldn't gain inner peace. Third Patriarch should be back now. Why wasn't he? Did something happen?

It so happened that some condemned prisoners were delivered. There were more than a dozen of them. Lu Li thought he might just as well come out from cultivation. He asked Ye Gu to bring the more than a dozen inmates to a deserted mountain.

All of them were wearing prison garb with Demon Trapping Chains tied around them. Some of them were powerful, some not. The most powerful of them were at the peak of the Eternal Realm and the least powerful was at the initial stage of the Fate Wheel Realm. Their ages varied as well. One of them was hundreds years old, which could be told from his appearances.

"I can test on these people?"

"Yes!"

Ye Gu nodded. Pointing at the old man of hundreds years old, he said, "This is a run-away from the Du Family. He meant to assassinate Lady Feixue. He took some disguise and sneaked his way into the imperial palace. When he was discovered, he killed more than a dozen maids and was captured by Ming Yu."

Then Ye Gu pointed at a feminine middle-aged man and said, "This is a sex pervert. He preys on teenage girls. Before he was captured, he had already ruined more than 30 girls…"

"Enough!"

Lu Li pulled a long face. An iron rod appeared in his hand. He made a move and smashed at the old man's head.

"Buzzing~"

Lu Li's Soul Pond glared as some energy passed out from Soul Pond and ran down the iron rod.

"Bang!"

Lu Li's iron rod landed on the old man's head. In that instant, the strength spread across in the form of vibration waves followed by soul energy. They both arrived at the old man's Soul Pond.

"Bang!"

Without having to wait for the soul attack to take effect, Lu Li's strength already smashed the old man's Soul Pond. The old man rolled his eyes, collapsed and died on the spot.

"Eh?"

Ye Gu and the other inmates were stunned. Lu Li had made such a forceful move and that old man's head was intact without any crack or bleeding? How did he die?

"What…"

Ye Gu inspected the old man's brain with psychic power and saw that his bones and Soul Ponds were all shattered and the inside of the old man's brain was reduced to paste.

"He is too weak!"

Lu Li shook his head in disappointment. If the guinea pigs were too weak, he could not find out the real power of the skill nor integrate the soul attack and physical attack well.

In this round of soul attack, Lu Li didn't chose to release his psychic power. Once that happened, powerful warriors would be alerted. He had to transform soul attack into vibration waves and make it follow behind vibration waves of strength. In this case, the enemies wouldn't be aware, an ingenious military move.

This was what made the Soul Shattering skill impressive.

Two strands of energy could go past defense and spread into an enemy's Soul Pond directly. The attack taking the lead was physical and if that couldn't do it, soul attacks would ensue. The two different patterns of attacks could make an enemy impossible to defend effectively…
