Two hours later, they reached a huge mountain which was surrounded by black smog. From afar, the mountain appeared to be dangerous and wicked, a place that could not be approached.
Lu Li sensed with psychic power many scouts hiding in various places. Leng Wushang explained to him with a smile,
This mountain is a forbidden place. There are more than a dozen layers of Inhibition Formations here, and several senior warriors of our families are guarding the mountain. Anyone that is not from our family won’t be allowed in.

The chariots stopped in front of the mountain. Lu Li felt several streaks strong psychic powers which disappeared soon after when Leng Wushang’s identity was verified. A path appeared in the middle of the thick smog, into which the two chariots flew one by one.
They arrived in the depths of the mountain without any hindrance. The chariots were parked in front of one of the many black castles here.

Here we go, Brother Lu!



Leng Wushang led Lu Li out. They flew down and Leng Wushang, the patriarch of the Leng Family followed them closely.
From the second chariot came off Leng Wuxin, Leng Wumi, Leng Buji, and Leng Tianba, the other patriarch of the Leng Family.

Young Lady Wuxin, here we meet again!

Lu Li looked at her with a fawning smile before he saluted Leng Wumi and Leng Buji. Leng Wuxin replied indifferently. On the other hand, Leng Wumi greeted Lu Li like an innocent girl with a sweet smile.
They walked into the castle and entered a hall. Lu Li saw a portal that was guarded by two Earth Immortal Realm warriors.

Greetings!

Leng Wushang bowed and so did Leng Wushuang and Leng Tianba. Lu Li did the same. One of the two old warriors opened his eyes, nodded, and gave Leng Wushang an approving look. Then, he fed a dark light into the portal and said,
Go ahead. Do your best to cultivate in there.


Thank you!

Leng Wushang bowed again. They walked toward the portal with Lu Li behind Leng Wushang. The two warriors didn’t pay any extra attention to Lu Li. They must have been informed by the Leng Family earlier.
After a white glare, Lu Li started to feel dizzy. It seemed like forever before Lu Li could stand on the ground again. He had his hands on the ground as he shook his dizzy head. After coming to, he took a look of the surroundings.


Leng Wushang and the others were standing next to him. Leng Wuxin showed disdain, while Leng Wushang asked Lu Li with concern,
Brother Lu, are you okay?


Ha, ha!

Lu Li stood up in embarrassment. He dusted himself down and said,
Excuse my poor realm.

Lu Li looked around with curiosity. He found himself in a forest with mist everywhere, reducing the visual range to merely several hundred yards.

What?

Lu Li tried to extend psychic power out the mist but failed. He turned to Leng Wushang with shock and asked,
We cannot use psychic power here?


No!

Leng Wushang looked up and said,
There are strong Inhibition Formations over the entire forbidden ground. Not only can we not use psychic power here, but we also cannot fly up too high. We will be knocked out and fall if we are above two miles.


Let’s go~

Leng Wuxin seemed to be more and more annoyed by Lu Li, so she began to walk away. Leng Wushang smiled embarrassingly and explained,
Sister Wushang has a bit of a cold character. Brother Lu, don’t let it bother you.




I like this kind of character. Goddess of Ice,
Lu Li said casually. In his eyes were ardent admiration. His fawning behavior made Leng Wushang and the others speechless…
They moved onward quickly. None of them used any equipment to fly, and they relied only on their feet. Lu Li realized that he was in an endless maple forest. The red maple leaves were everywhere, and the views appeared to be static. Lu Li was confused and asked,
Young Master Wushang, where are we going?


We are going to the Heng River, Brother Lu!

Before Leng Wushang could answer, Leng Wumi cut in with a sweet smile,
The Forbidden Ground of Elder God is full of maple trees. There is no sense of orientation. We can only tell the direction when we are at the Heng River. We will be able to decide how to move on from there.


Oh, I see.

Lu Li looked around with great interest. Why was the place crowded with maple trees? Was it because the late Emperor Heng had been a fan of maple trees? The map leaves did make a nice scene, though.
To march in a place with mist and never-changing maple trees could be boring. Fortunately, the two beautiful ladies could be a feast on the eyes.

Why don’t we try low altitude flying? It will be faster.
Lu Li engaged Leng Wumi in a chitchat out of boredom.
Leng Wumi seemed more than willing to talk to Lu Li. She said with a smile,
It is better not to fly in the Forbidden Ground of Elder God and not to travel too fast. These maple trees are strange. If we bump into them, we might trigger some strange Inhibition Formation and be teleported out.


That explains it!



Lu Li exclaimed,
Young Lady Wumi, you are so informed. I am impressed. Are you here to study Profound Meanings to reach the Human Sovereign Realm?


Yes!

Leng Wumi said without any reservation,
Many places in here contain marks of Profound Meanings and nature’s rhythms. They are all left by Emperor Heng. If we are lucky, we can learn some Profound Meanings here. I am in this time to try to reach the Human Sovereign Realm. Both Sister Wuxin and Brother Wushang have learned impressive Profound Meanings here.


Marks of Profound Meaning!

Lu Li learned by heart. He looked around to check. There could never be too many Profound Meanings. When low-level Profound Meanings were combined together, they could evolve into powerful ones. The more powerful one’s Profound Meaning was, the stronger one could be.

Ha, ha~

Sticking her tongue out playfully, Leng Wumi said,
Brother Lu, there are no marks of Profound Meaning here in the maple forest. No one had learned any Profound Meaning in the maple forest over the long history. Don’t waste your time here. We can walk down the Heng River later on, and we will arrive at a treasure land. There are plenty of marks there for you to study.


Okay, thank you!

Lu Li nodded. The cultivation from the Noble Lord Realm onward was more about the study of Profound Meanings. Without one powerful Profound Meaning, a warrior wouldn’t be able to reach the Human Sovereign Realm.
Noble Lords were still under a king or an emperor, but Human Sovereigns were towering figures in the humankind. There was a huge gap between the Noble Lord Realm and the Human Sovereign Realm. Not everyone could go beyond the threshold, but once one did, it would be an entirely different world.



Chirp, chirp~

They had been on the way for the time for three incense sticks to burn when a strange sound was heard. Leng Wuxin, who was leading the team, stopped on the spot. She sat down on the thick layer of maple leaves right away.
Leng Wushang and others did the same thing. Only Lu Li was standing with confusion. Leng Wumi dragged him down at once and said,
Brother Lu, this is the Feather Wind, unique to the Forbidden Ground of Elder God. The strange sound in the Feather Wind contains soul attacks. You will find some tingling and uncomfortable sensations later, but you must find a way to power through. You cannot go and bump your head against the maple trees, in which case we will have to knock you out.


Feather Wind?

Lu Li frowned. His soul was not particularly strong. The Human Sovereign Realm warriors and two Earth Immortal Realm warriors were nervous. Would he roll around on the ground out of pain?
He sat with his legs crossed and waited for the Feather Wind agitatedly. Not long afterward, he felt a gale. The wind was tangible as if there were many transparent feathers dancing in the air. Accompanying were odd noises. They could penetrate into people’s minds and ring their soul.

Hiss~

Leng Wumi mumbled in pain. Her pretty face was twisted by misery. Leng Wushang and Lu Wuxin’s eyebrows were knitted together as well. Clearly, they were also undergoing tremendous pain.

Buzzing~

A silver glare glistened in Lu Li’s soul as the silver dragon began to move around. Apart from some tingling in his eardrums, Lu Li didn’t feel any attacks on his soul.

What?

The two Earth Immortal Realm warriors were the first to notice that contrary to their prediction, Lu Li wasn’t rolling around on the ground. Leng Wushang and the others looked over as well, and they, too, were shocked.
They had protections over their souls, but the Feather Wind could beat them and attack the soul directly. How could Lu Li be fine when not even the Earth Immortal Realm warriors could stand the Feather Wind?
