Start from the God of Death and break through the world.

Chapter 1085 Is it okay to take the blame if you can't handle it?
To Terry's surprise, his words seemed to remind Lu Jiaojiao, making her eyes light up.

"Why not!?"

Lu Jiaojiao said, "Tianyuan gives Junior Brother Lu one complete inheritance crystal every year, so Martial God Mountain will give you two. As for the resources you need for cultivation, take as many as you need before you leave!"

"Hehe, this isn't about money, don't you understand?"

Terry scoffed, "What do you take Brother Lu for? Such a remarkable person has his own pride. How could you possibly sway his mind with those petty benefits?"

Lu Li was speechless for a moment, his expression somewhat embarrassed.

He really wanted to say, "Brother Taili, what you're saying makes me feel embarrassed to ask how the double reward from Mount Wushen will be settled later."

He now understood that although these two supreme immortal sects wanted to study his black mist, it was mostly for security purposes. Judging from their willingness to provide resources so generously, they probably had their eyes on other parts of his body.

Otherwise, given the power of these two senior brothers and sisters whose cultivation levels are not much higher than his, it would be impossible for them to grant him so many resources. There must be a request from the higher-ups of the forces behind this, who want him to join the corresponding forces.

Thinking about it this way, he doesn't need to worry about his personal safety, so of course he should maximize his interests.

The thought of having so many resources to take right after landing made Lu Li happy, and he suddenly felt that the Divine Martial Continent wasn't so bad after all.

After all, Aizen could only attend school, but the resources within the academy weren't readily available.

But... what Terry just said really made it a little difficult for Lu Li to speak.

On one hand, there's the humble and polite Terry, and on the other hand, there's Lu Jiaojiao who threatens to make him regret his actions. It's a difficult choice, a happy dilemma.

In his melancholy, Lu Li couldn't help but crave a good cigarette, so he replaced the filling in the Origin Atomizer with the Secret Blood Crystal that he had been reluctant to smoke and only had one puff left.

He took a deep breath and, under the strange gazes of Lu Jiaojiao and Terry, exhaled a long, dark red puff of smoke, looking ecstatic and instantly relieved of the pressure.

"Brother Lu..."

Terry hesitated, because he sensed a familiar power in the smoke Lu Li exhaled.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to ask, is it possible that atomizers are not allowed here?"

Lu Li said somewhat embarrassedly.

"I'm not……"

Before Terry could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Jiaojiao's loud voice.

"Secret Blood Crystal!?"

Lu Jiaojiao shouted, walking up to Lu Li and staring at the pipe in his hand, "You just used a vaporizer to inhale the Blood Crystal!?"

Lu Li was almost pushed against the wall behind him by the tall and strong Lu Jiaojiao, and was nearly wall-pinned by this senior sister. Seeing that the other party was staring at him with a serious look, Lu Li was a little confused for a moment.

"Yes...yes, is this also...also a contraband item here?"

Learning from past mistakes, Lu Li felt a little unsure. He had only heard from Fatty Dragon that there were Secret Blood Crystals in this world, but the other party had not told him where they were or what kind of item they were in the Divine Martial Continent.

"Do not."

Lu Jiaojiao shook her head, then waved her hand, and a familiar substance appeared in her hand—a piece of Secret Blood Crystal, which looked a little larger than the one Lu Li had obtained before.

Lu Li's eyes lit up when he saw this thing, and he thought to himself, could it be...?

"Junior Brother Lu, do you enjoy consuming Secret Blood Crystals? If so, our Martial God Mountain can supply them!"

Lu Jiaojiao said loudly, "Terry, your Tianyuan doesn't have Secret Blood Crystals, does it?"

Terry was speechless for a moment, but he wasn't too nervous. He just smiled and said, "Brother Lu, you may consider consuming the secret blood crystals as a unique hobby. But how could someone as outstanding as Brother Lu let pleasure interfere with your cultivation?"

He could tell that Lu Li looked intoxicated when he absorbed the Secret Blood Crystal. Although he was surprised that someone would like to absorb the crystals of those brutes who possessed the Secret Blood, the world is full of wonders, and it was just a hobby. He had seen Lu Li absorb the Inheritance Crystal before, and their Tianyuan could provide that as well.

To Terry's surprise, Lu Li actually frowned and fell into deep thought.

What others may not know, Lu Li knows only himself. He consumes the Secret Blood Crystal not out of hobby, but because consuming large amounts of it can accelerate his growth.

Although Lu Li didn't know why, he became stronger with an extremely high efficiency after consuming this substance.

Although Tianyuan said he could supply him with various resources, Lu Li was not sure if it could help him grow as quickly as the Secret Blood Crystal.

Most importantly, Lu Li had long ago discovered that absorbing the Secret Blood Crystal to nourish himself brought about attribute enhancements without any hidden dangers. His foundation remained quite solid, which was unmatched by many other drug-based enhancement methods.

"Senior Sister Lu, that...you before..."

Lu Li asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Is it true that you said I could take as many resources as I used when I leave?"

Terry stared at Lu Li with his mouth agape, as if he couldn't believe that Lu Li was really so shameless. He wanted to say that Lu Jiaojiao was rude and uncouth, and asked, "Where did I go wrong?"

"Of course, Wushen Mountain's word is law!"

Lu Jiaojiao said with certainty, but then added, "However, the supply of Secret Blood Crystals cannot be guaranteed to you indefinitely, because the disciples of Martial God Mountain also consume a lot of this item during their cultivation. If you obtain it without working for it, it will probably cause controversy."

"The reasons for this are self-evident."

Lu Li nodded and said.

Then, he awkwardly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Terry, saying, "Brother Terry, I am deeply grateful for your kindness, but I have an urgent need for the Secret Blood Crystal during my cultivation, so I must apologize for not being able to repay your kindness this time."

Seeing this, Terry understood immediately that he had ultimately lost because of a resource called Secret Blood Crystal. As for the claim that Martial God Mountain would give double, he felt that this was not the main reason. Hmm, how could a hero like Brother Lu succumb to the tyranny of Martial God Mountain for the sake of so-called 'being unable to bear the consequences'?

"Alas, since Brother Lu has made his decision, I cannot force him. If we meet on the battlefield in the future, I hope Brother Lu will show mercy."

Terry sighed and said that the suggestion to show mercy was just a humble way of putting it.

After all, although he and Lu Jiaojiao were sent by their superiors to avoid putting too much pressure on Lu Li, their basic cultivation levels were still significantly higher than Lu Li's. Moreover, they were talents nurtured by their respective forces, making them unparalleled in combat strength among their peers. Despite Lu Li's astonishing combat skills displayed in the Blood Slaughter Secret Realm, they did not feel inferior to Lu Li in this area.

However, their respective factions wanted to win over Lu Li because they saw his potential. In recent years, the space had declined, and the End Space was known for its gentle approach to cultivating talent. They felt that if Lu Li could be so strong under these circumstances, he must still have a lot of room for improvement.

If he can further hone his skills on the Divine Martial Continent, he will surely become stronger. At that time, he will be able to compete with the top geniuses of the Extreme Dao Immortal Sect at the same level.

As for him and Lu Jiaojiao, although they had some reputation, they could not be considered top talents in their respective forces.

"Brother Terry, you flatter me. I am still far from reaching your level."

Lu Li said modestly.

"Have you two finished being polite? Since you've made up your minds, come back to the mountain with me."

Lu Jiaojiao, however, was a little impatient and patted Lu Li's shoulder, "With your small frame, I think you need to practice more."

Lu Li wanted to retort, thinking that she was still small in stature? She was the type who looked slim in clothes but had a muscular build when undressed.

But then he suddenly noticed his senior sister's impressive muscles, and for a moment he felt he had no room for rebuttal, so he could only nod awkwardly.

Actually, he had another very impolite question for Lu Jiaojiao or Taili: were all the senior sisters of Wushen Mountain like this?

After bowing, Ke Taili left, while Lu Jiaojiao pulled him outside.

After leaving the preparation hall, Lu Li finally saw the world of the Divine Martial Continent. This place was within the territory of Tianyuan, with magnificent mountains and rivers. After taking off, he could see a deep abyss stretching into the distance. He wondered if Tianyuan got its name from this.

Lu Jiaojiao flew with Lu Li for about 200,000 miles before landing with him.

Lu Li was puzzled for a moment, but after asking, he learned that he needed to use a teleportation array to transfer to the territory of Martial God Mountain.

This is because the world density of the Divine Martial Continent is too high and the space is too hard, so unless one's cultivation reaches the highest realm, it is impossible to break through the void and travel. At this time, it is necessary to use the teleportation array that has been built to cross the void.

However, if this magic array is not used, according to Chen Feng, the vastness of the Divine Martial Continent is probably far beyond the ordinary universe that Lu Li knows. In addition, the world's suppression is strong, and relying solely on flight, even if Lu Li were to fly for 100,000 years, he probably still wouldn't be able to traverse the entire continent.

After using the teleportation array, Lu Li appeared in the teleportation hall.

Although the people of the Divine Martial Continent have a rather ancient way of doing things, their technology is also highly advanced. The teleportation array is a high-tech product that uses leveraged energy to control consumption and perform wide-area teleportation. It is now a common mode of transportation for the people of the continent.

The rules and regulations in this place are also very comprehensive. You have to go through security checks before entering the teleportation hall, and you have to buy a ticket for teleportation itself. Moreover, the Divine Martial Continent also has a digital currency system. You can deduct the corresponding spirit stones by simply swiping the identity authentication card jointly issued by the nine extreme immortal sects.

As for deposit and withdrawal institutions similar to banks, they were still jointly established by the nine major immortal sects. Because the top-level forces have reached a consensus on this matter, the Divine Martial Continent will basically not experience an economic crisis after the rules stabilize. After all, it is too easy for the central bank jointly established by the nine major immortal sects to regulate.

Lu Li didn't have spirit stones. He had seen Chen Feng show them to him before. They were a collection of pure immortal spiritual energy. Before one's overall attributes reached 320 points, one could benefit from using this basic resource in cultivation. It was the common currency of the common people at the grassroots level of the Divine Martial Continent.

As for cultivators with a comprehensive attribute of 320 or more, spirit stones are useless. However, such cultivators are a minority even in the Divine Martial Continent, and the cultivation resources they need are quite special.

Unlike his previous trips to the original world, the gold left in Lu Li's storage space was basically worthless on this continent. He was now essentially penniless, but fortunately, he had managed to latch onto a top-tier power right from the start.

Lu Jiaojiao paid for all the transportation expenses on the way, which was nothing to the Extreme Dao Immortal Sect.

After several transfers, Lu Li walked out of the teleportation hall, which resembled a high-speed rail station, and saw the towering mountain peak in the distance, which was truly magnificent and majestic.

"Is this the territory under the jurisdiction of Martial God Mountain...?"

Looking at the scenery along the way, Lu Li was filled with emotion.

Lu Jiaojiao was a woman of few words; she would not answer unless he asked her. However, on the way there, Lu Li managed to extract quite a bit of information about Martial God Mountain from her.

It wasn't that Lu Li was being long-winded, it was just that the things Fatty Dragon had told him made him feel uneasy.

Although Lu Jiaojiao had made it clear that Martial God Mountain had no ill intentions towards Lu Li, and that its only purpose was to cultivate him and ensure that the power within him would not pollute the world, Lu Li still felt uneasy.

"I see you are a martial arts hero in the Blood Slaughter Secret Realm, so why do you have this expression? We're not going to eat you."

Seeing Lu Li's expression, Lu Jiaojiao spoke up from the side.

"Senior sister misunderstands. I was just thinking about how you would deal with the power within me that can generate black matter."

Lu Li asked tentatively, but he felt there was nothing wrong with it if Martial God Mountain had a way to bring out and suppress the demon god inside him.

After all, Lu Li wasn't as naive as Naruto. He didn't think he could understand the ominous evil god inside him. Although he could borrow its power when it was inside him, there were also considerable hidden dangers.

Lu Li's current strength has never been based on the power of that black substance. Even without the black substance of the Demon God, his offensive power will not be weakened. That substance is mainly highly polluting and can corrode the enemy's body, making it vulnerable.

"How would I know? Once you reach the mountain and meet the mountain lord, he will naturally provide a solution to the problem of the substance on your body."

Lu Jiaojiao said, seeing that Lu Li seemed to care about this matter. After thinking for a moment, she patted Lu Li's shoulder hard and said, "Don't worry, no matter what the reason is, since you have joined my Martial God Mountain, you are one of my Martial God Mountain people. My Martial God Mountain never mistreats its own people."

"I'm relieved to hear that, senior sister."

Lu Li said with a smile, "By the way, Senior Sister, is the Lord of Martial God Mountain the strongest person in Martial God Mountain?"

"He is more than just the strongest person on Mount Wushen."

When Lu Jiaojiao mentioned the Mountain Lord, her eyes were filled with admiration, as if she were worshipping a deity. "The Mountain Lord is the strongest person on the Divine Martial Continent!"

"So powerful? Can it compare to the peak of the ninth rank in our space?"

Lu Li was ultimately inexperienced, but he was always full of curiosity about the strong. Hearing Lu Jiaojiao say this, he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

"The peak of the ninth rank of space?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiaojiao gave Lu Li a strange look, then shook her head, "No, above that."
