"You know Li Lu?" Huang Xiaolong asked, seeing Cheng Susu’s expression, filled with surprise, and asked in return.
Cheng Susu gave a self-mocking smile and said, "If the Li Lu you ntioned is the Li Lu I know, I’m afraid there’s truly no one in the Creation Gate who doesn’t know her. I know her, but she doesn’t know ."
Huang Xiaolong was startled.
Then, Huang Xiaolong described Li Lu’s appearance to Cheng Susu, confirming with her. Finally, they determined that the Li Lu Cheng Susu knew was indeed the Li Lu Huang Xiaolong was looking for.
When Huang Xiaolong inquired about Li Lu’s situation, Cheng Susu had a look of envy and complexity: "More than a decade ago, she ca to the Creation Gate, claiming to be the Direct Disciple of the Lower Realm Creation Gate Ancestor, and possessed an Emperor-level top-level Godhood. This not only alard our Sect Leader but even several of our Ancestors who had been in seclusion for years."
At this point, Cheng Susu paused, and with an even jealous tone, said: "In the end, she was directly taken as a Direct Disciple by Ancestors Wan Yan and Xuan Bing!"
Being favored by an Ancestor is sothing all disciples of the Creation Gate dare not even dream of. Now, Li Lu was favored by two Ancestors at the sa ti. As a disciple of the Creation Gate, Cheng Susu could not deny her jealousy.
Huang Xiaolong nodded, understanding that Li Lu’s possession of the Yin Yang Divine Status warranted attention from the two Creation Gate Ancestors.
"What is her current strength?" Huang Xiaolong pondered and asked.
Cheng Susu shook her head: "I’m not sure. After Wan Yan and Xuan Bing took her as a Direct Disciple, she has been cultivating at the Ten Thousand Spirit Land and rarely appears. It’s said that the two Ancestors initially found her strength lacking, so they directly used the Supre Secret thod to infuse her with Divine Power, causing her strength to advance rapidly."
Hearing this, Huang Xiaolong was relieved.
For years, he had worried that after Li Lu ascended to the Divine World, she might face unexpected dangers like those in the Turquoise Pool. But now, hearing that she was favored by the Creation Gate Ancestors and given full support, he was reassured.
"You know Li Lu? Then you are also an ascender from the Lower Realm?" Cheng Susu suddenly asked Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong nodded and did not hide it: "I am indeed an ascender from the Lower Realm."
Cheng Susu looked at Huang Xiaolong with lively eyes: "In the Lower Realm, are you close with Li Lu? Do you like Li Lu? But now, Li Lu is very much admired by the disciples of our Creation Gate. Not to ntion others, even our Young Master of the Creation Gate and our Chief Disciple Wang Wei also like Li Lu."
Huang Xiaolong frowned slightly. Although he understood that it was natural for Li Lu to be admired by the male disciples of the Creation Gate, hearing that both the Young Master of the Creation Gate and this Wang Wei were interested in Li Lu, he felt sowhat displeased.
Cheng Susu said: "Our Chief Disciple Wang Wei, while his talent may not be on par with Li Lu, he also possesses a high-level Emperor-level Divine Status. Before Li Lu’s arrival, Senior Brother Wang Wei was the top genius of our Creation Gate. The talent of our Young Master is also high, being at the Early Stage of Emperor-level." With this, Cheng Susu’s large eyes held a mischievous smile: "If you want to pursue Li Lu, it will be quite challenging."
Huang Xiaolong forced a smile.
Does Cheng Susu think that he is inferior to Wang Wei or the Young Master of the Creation Gate?
However, considering the Emperor-level Divine Status is not sothing everyone can own, it was normal for Cheng Susu to feel inferior to Wang Wei and the Young Master of the Creation Gate.
At this mont, Cheng Susu patted her chest boldly: "How about this, if you want to join the Creation Gate, I can have my master introduce you. With my master’s introduction and considering your talent, it won’t be difficult for you to join the Creation Gate."
Although Cheng Susu did not explicitly state who her master was, Huang Xiaolong guessed that it should be a certain powerful elder or Supre Elder of the Creation Gate.
Huang Xiaolong shook his head with a smile: "No need, I plan to participate in the Wan Island Battle when the ti cos."
He did not yet need to rely on a woman to join the Creation Gate.
Cheng Susu was taken aback: "Wan Island Battle?" Then she said: "However, tens of thousands of disciples participate in the Wan Island Battle, and only those in the top one thousand can join the Creation Gate. Are you sure you want to participate in the Wan Island Battle? Besides, there’s only a little over a decade left until the next Wan Island Battle. With your current strength? It’s difficult to even be in the top ten thousand, let alone the top one thousand!" Saying this, Cheng Susu shook her head.
She wasn’t trying to discourage Huang Xiaolong but was speaking honestly from the standpoint of a good friend. Huang Xiaolong is now only at the Heavenly God Sixth Stage Middle Stage, can he break through to the Heavenly God Seventh Stage in a little over a decade? Seventh-stage Middle Stage?
In past Wan Island Battles, one needed to be at least a Heavenly God Tenth Rank expert to enter the top one thousand.
Of course, she could see Huang Xiaolong’s combat power was extraordinary, but no matter how extraordinary, it was impossible to reach the top one thousand in a little over a decade.
Huang Xiaolong knew she ant well, so he smiled and said, "If I don’t make it into the top thousand next ti, I’ll participate in the following Wan Island Battle. I’ll eventually make it into the top thousand."
Cheng Susu shook her head: "Even if you get into the top thousand the ti after next and join our Creation Gate, without entering the top ten, it will still be difficult to catch the attention of our many Supre Elders. At that ti, even if you beco an ordinary disciple of the Creation Gate, with your status, you would have no chance to see Li Lu."
Huang Xiaolong didn’t know how to respond, so he just smiled without speaking.
A night quickly passed.
Cheng Susu stood up and then bid farewell to Huang Xiaolong.
"You’re leaving now?" Huang Xiaolong was astonished: "This is still Sea Clan territory, you?"
Cheng Susu shook her head: "It’s fine, we’re out of the Soul Clan’s territory now. I have a way to return to the Creation Gate safely." With that, she handed a Token to Huang Xiaolong: "When the next Wan Island Battle occurs, co to the Creation Continent to find ." She then playfully winked at Huang Xiaolong: "For Li Lu, you’ll need to work a hundred tis harder."
Huang Xiaolong accepted the Token, smiling helplessly as he nodded: "I will."
Then, under Huang Xiaolong’s gaze, Cheng Susu’s graceful figure quickly disappeared over the sea horizon.
"Shall we head back to Zhu Tian City now?" asked the Golden Horned Little Bull.
Huang Xiaolong looked at the injuries of Evil Du, Evil Slaughter, and Bing Jiu Yi, then shook his head: "No rush." The injuries of all three still needed healing, and he planned to first refine the two Swallow Cloud Beasts at the Ancient God Fourth Stage into puppets. Afterward, it wouldn’t be too late to go to Zhu Tian City.
Thus, Huang Xiaolong continued to stay on the deserted island.
On a section of a cliff on the island, Huang Xiaolong carved out a cave leading straight to the mountainside. Only after having the Golden Horned Little Bull set up several prohibitive asures outside did he retrieve the two Swallow Cloud Beast corpses.
Gazing at the two Swallow Cloud Beast corpses, Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged and began to operate the Primordial Puppet Technique, gathering his spiritual will, and entered the soul sea of the first Swallow Cloud Beast.
However, just as Huang Xiaolong’s spiritual will entered, a pressure akin to that from the ancient wilderness suddenly bore down on his spiritual will with intense force. (To be continued.
