Chapter 1087 Martial God Mountain Master
When Lu Li heard Lu Jiaojiao's question, his mind started racing. In fact, he had felt that something was wrong from the very beginning.

However, he had relied too much on Aizen to help him think over the years, which made his originally quite sharp mind somewhat dull. It took him several turns to figure it out.

He suddenly remembered that the power he felt in the Blood Crystal was similar to the power he had absorbed from the Valkyrie, and the Blood Crystal was a specialty of Mount Martial God.

Lu Jiaojiao is from my clan, and the Valkyrie is also from my clan...

Lu Jiaojiao also said that all the true disciples of Martial God Mountain are one family, so they must all be his relatives...

Lu Li suddenly woke up with a start. He wondered if the Blood Crystal, used as a bloodline artifact, was actually the bloodline power of these 'Lu family members'!
If that's the case, then if he joins Martial God Mountain, he will indeed have an inexhaustible supply of secret blood crystals!

But then something else puzzled Lu Li: Fatty Dragon told him that there were Secret Blood Crystals in the Divine Martial Continent, but Fatty Dragon also marked Martial God Mountain as dangerous in the survival manual and told him to take a detour. Wasn't this a contradiction?
To obtain the Blood Crystal, one must go to Mount Martial God, but Mount Martial God seems to have a trap for me...

"Senior sister, is this Secret Blood Crystal something you commonly use in your cultivation? Or... is it a substance you produce?"

Although Lu Li already had a guess in his mind, he still asked.

"As you think, the true disciples are all people who have inherited the power of their ancestors' bloodline. We call it the martial arts secret bloodline. The power of this bloodline is very fierce and powerful, and it can be continuously strengthened by absorbing secret blood crystals after birth, eventually reaching a perfect ancestral state."

As Lu Jiaojiao spoke, her blood and qi surged, and a powerful force emerged, drawing the attention of her fellow disciples who were going up and down the mountain. Many people also respectfully bowed to Lu Jiaojiao.

Clearly, the number of true disciples is too small, and it is a rare sight to see them on ordinary days, but none of the disciples of Martial God Mountain would fail to recognize this distinctive power of qi and blood.

Lu Li was also surprised to see the power that Lu Jiaojiao displayed, because he found that this power was indeed the same as the one he had seen on the Valkyrie before. However... he felt that although Lu Jiaojiao's power was much stronger than the Valkyrie in his memory, it was a bit strange.

If he had to say, he felt that Lu Jiaojiao's bloodline power had a lot of energy and blood, and the quality condensed from that energy was also very substantial, far surpassing that of the Valkyrie. However, he always felt that Lu Jiaojiao's power had many impurities, as if it lacked purity.

Recalling the Valkyrie from his memory, Lu Li couldn't help but smack his lips. That girl was really innocent.

"Junior Brother Lu? What are you thinking about?"

Seeing Lu Li's strange expression, Lu Jiaojiao pulled him out of his thoughts.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just remembered seeing the power of the Martial Mystic Blood during a space adventure before."

Lu Li replied.

"Do the explorers in this space possess the power of martial arts secret blood?"

Lu Jiaojiao frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled. However, after thinking about it again, she felt that it was not incomprehensible. "Perhaps it is the secret blood crystal that has flowed out, just like the piece that Junior Brother Lu obtained. The secret blood crystal of Martial God Mountain occasionally flows out."

"Isn't this the core bloodline power of Martial God Mountain? Don't you care if it leaks out?"

Lu Li asked in confusion. He felt that any major power would keep its core strength a secret, just like national nuclear weapons secrets are not allowed to be leaked. The leakage of the Martial God's secret blood crystal was equivalent to the leakage of nuclear warheads for others to study.

"This is unavoidable. I may not have explained it clearly before. The Martial God Mystic Blood is a unique bloodline of Martial God Mountain, but it can also be absorbed later. People who possess the Mystic Blood are called Mystic Blood Warriors, and Mystic Blood Warriors are divided into those who are born with it and those who are born with it."

Lu Jiaojiao explained, "Innate Secret Blood Warriors like myself can absorb Secret Blood Crystals to purify their bloodline after birth. Other disciples can also choose to absorb Secret Blood Crystals to become acquired Secret Blood Warriors. Martial God Mountain has tens of millions of disciples, and millions of them are acquired Secret Blood Warriors. It is normal for them to lose new Secret Blood Crystals outside before they can absorb them after they have made contributions."

After listening, Lu Li understood that with such a large number of people, it was indeed impossible to guarantee that the Secret Blood Crystals would not leak out. However, what pleased him was that, according to Lu Jiaojiao, the number of Secret Blood Crystals should be extremely large, otherwise even outer disciples would not have the opportunity to become Secret Blood Warriors.

"Senior Sister, if one absorbs the Secret Blood Crystal after birth and becomes a Secret Blood Warrior, will there be a decisive difference in their potential compared to the true disciples?"

Lu Li didn't ask this because he planned to absorb the Secret Blood Crystal through conventional means to become a Secret Blood Warrior. He just thought of the Valkyrie and felt it would be a pity if she absorbed the Secret Blood Crystal and became like that.

He had read the description of the Blood Crystal, which indicated that absorbing it later would have significant side effects and its potential was likely limited, which was a pity given the Valkyrie's exceptional martial arts talent.

As for the idea that the Valkyrie was a true disciple of Martial God Mountain, he never even considered it, since he was certain that she was a spatial being.

"Of course there are."

Lu Jiaojiao looked at Lu Li with a strange expression. "Otherwise, why is there a distinction between true disciples? It sounds cruel, but Martial God Mountain is a place that values ​​talent, and it's very difficult for outer disciples to reach the peak as Secret Blood Warriors."

"I see……"

Lu Li already understood. This was normal; bloodlines forcibly created with artificial means were definitely not as good as those that were naturally formed.

However... nothing in this world is absolute.

Lu Jiaojiao then changed her tone, "Although it is just a legend, the ancient books of Martial God Mountain record that Martial God Mountain was destroyed once before the great catastrophe that cannot be verified. In the old era of Martial God Mountain, there was a person who, with the body of an outsider, comprehended the secret blood and reached the peak. He was the strongest Martial God Mountain Lord in history."

"That senior was truly an outstanding person."

Lu Li was also moved after hearing this. Upon careful consideration, he realized that he had also studied the origins of various bloodlines. Indeed, there should not be any bloodlines in the world that could not be understood. If one could understand the mysteries within them, there would be no need to distinguish between innate and acquired bloodlines.

"Is that strongest mountain lord still alive?"

Lu Li couldn't help but ask curiously. Although the other party said it was a legend, he also knew that in this kind of sect system, there might be retired old sect masters, grand elders, and the like in addition to the sect master.

Lu Jiaojiao shook her head. "The legend is too ancient. How could a junior like me know the details? But in the ancient book I read, it was noted that the last mountain lord died in battle."

Lu Li sighed upon hearing this. As they were talking, they had already successfully reached the top of the mountain.

Upon reaching this level, the number of people became even sparser. According to what Lu Jiaojiao had told him along the way, this was the area where the true disciples lived. Below them were the core disciples, and further back were the inner and outer disciples.

After entering the plaza, a man approached, glanced at Lu Li, and asked with a smile, "Junior Sister, is this the Demon Prisoner who wreaked havoc in the Blood Slaughter Secret Realm?"

"His name is Lu Li, and 'Prisoner of Demons' is the name of his spatial dimension."

Lu Jiaojiao spoke concisely, maintaining a stern expression even towards this seemingly powerful senior brother, "Senior Brother Tie, the Grand Elder's task for me is to bring Junior Brother Lu Li back to see the Mountain Lord, so I won't chat any longer."

"It's easy to talk about."

Lu Tie said with a smile, "What a coincidence today. I just saw a junior sister come up the mountain this morning, and now another one has arrived." The speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart. Lu Jiaojiao wasn't particularly curious, but Lu Li noticed Lu Tie's words and wondered if other powerful beings from other realms had joined Martial God Mountain.

But didn't Lu Jiaojiao say before that only martial artists with innate secret blood can be outer disciples? How did she get to this level?
Lu Li himself was of course an outer disciple, but he possessed the power of a demon god and was brought up as a subject of supervision. So, did the other person also have something dirty on him?
Lu Jiaojiao led Lu Li across the square and up the steps behind the mountain. From there, they would reach the true summit, where a small wooden house could be seen standing at the tip.

Upon arriving here, Lu Jiaojiao was clearly a little nervous, indicating that she had never been here before and that she had only brought Lu Li to this door today because of a mission.

"I'll see you off here, junior brother. When you meet the mountain lord later, please be sure to be respectful."

Lu Jiaojiao spoke cautiously, which showed her deep respect for the mountain lord.

"Don't worry, senior sister, Li is not someone who doesn't know the rules."

Lu Li said that even he felt a little uneasy at this moment.

First, he didn't know how Martial God Mountain planned to deal with the dark substance on his body. Second, he had never seen a true peak expert before. Even in the space, he had never seen an existence like Manjusaka. He had only bought things from her through people from the botanical garden.

Lu Jiaojiao stood in front of the door, not daring to knock for a long time. Finally, a voice came from inside the house, "Let him in."

It was a deep, neutral voice. For a moment, Lu Li couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman. Upon hearing this, Lu Li glanced at Lu Jiaojiao, and seeing that she nodded, Lu Li carefully pushed open the door.

The interior was not the hidden paradise he had imagined; it was simply a plain wooden hut. In the back center, there was a futon, and a figure was sitting cross-legged there.

Lu Li subconsciously looked closely and found that the person in front of him was wearing a loose black training uniform, with a majestic figure and an imposing aura, as if he had returned to simplicity.

To Lu Li's surprise, the legendary strongest person in the Divine Martial Continent, the master of Martial God Mountain, was actually a woman.

However, this woman was tall and strong, with an invincible heroic spirit between her brows. Her eyes were black, but contained a deep red color. If you looked closely, Lu Li felt that his soul was about to shatter.

Lu Li immediately dared not look any longer. When he lowered his head to pay his respects, he was surprised to find that he had forgotten what the other person looked like.

"This humble one is Lu Li, from the End Space. Greetings, Lord of Martial God Mountain."

Lu Li spoke respectfully, introducing himself in the hope that if the other party were to take drastic measures against the contraband he was carrying, they would consider that he was a guest from the End Space.

However, Lu Li was overthinking things. The Martial God Mountain Master sat there cross-legged, in a lower position, but his gaze seemed to be looking down on Lu Li. After scrutinizing him from head to toe, he nodded and said, "No need for formalities. Please sit down and let me take a look."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li dared not be negligent. After sitting down, he looked up and when he saw the Martial God Mountain Lord in front of him again, the feeling that his soul was about to collapse disappeared.

However, no matter how he looked at the other person, he couldn't remember their appearance, which was truly peculiar.

However, the supreme martial arts realm emanating from the other party, though quite distant from Lu Li, still allowed Lu Li to vaguely sense it and attracted his attention.

This is ultimate power!
Lu Li was restless, wishing he could also have peak attributes so he could have a match with the other party.

But he also knew that these ideas of his were wishful thinking. Let alone the attributes of the ninth-level peak, he couldn't even meet the standards of an inner disciple of Martial God Mountain.

"Lu Li... Lu Li, that's interesting. You said you're from the End Space?"

The Lord of Martial God Mountain looked at Lu Li for a few seconds, pondered for a moment, and then smiled.

"Exactly."

Lu Li said respectfully.

"But pioneers?"

The Lord of Martial God Mountain asked again.

Lu Li hesitated for a moment. According to the rules, pioneers are not allowed to reveal their identities, not even to explorers. But since the other party had already revealed his identity, Lu Li could not hide it, so he simply nodded.

"Hahaha……"

Suddenly, the Martial God Mountain Master burst into laughter, as if she had seen the biggest joke in the world. Her eyes seemed to be able to see through Lu Li's entire body, making Lu Li very uncomfortable.

"The end, the end, it has come to this! What a ridiculous farce!"

The Martial God Mountain Master's laughter was loud, but it didn't make Lu Li feel uncomfortable. However, after laughing for a while, her gaze turned cold and she stared at Lu Li, making Lu Li feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Do you know what the power you wield is?

The Lord of Martial God Mountain spoke.

Lu Li's body trembled uncontrollably. He did not want to be like this, but being stared at by those eyes, the barrier of his soul seemed to be completely shattered. It was as if a force was constantly piercing his soul, stripping it clean.

"This young man doesn't know..."

Lu Li gritted his teeth and said, already covered in sweat. He thought to himself that Fatty Long Cheng hadn't lied to him; Martial God Mountain was indeed too dangerous for him.

But in reality, he didn't have many choices at the time. After all, what he had seemed to be taboo. It wasn't just the Martial God Mountain that was like this; even though Tianyuan was very polite to him, he would still be studied after he went there.

It all boils down to his own weakness, which left him with no other choice.

"You dare to borrow that power?"

The Martial God Mountain Master's tone became more serious, making Lu Li feel even more pressured.

Lu Li was already somewhat angry, and disregarding everything else, he retorted, "Since it's on me, why can't I use it?!"

The Lord of Martial God Mountain was taken aback for a moment, then withdrew his aura slightly. When he looked at Lu Li again, his eyes were already filled with smiles. "You are indeed interesting. You are right. As a pioneer of space, you should use everything you can. Power itself has no right or wrong, good or evil."
