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

Chapter 1142 Desire to Return to Space
The reason for saying this is that Lu Li has begun to miss the days of fighting against the strong.

During his adventures in space, he is never short of opponents. Every world has someone for him to challenge, allowing him to continuously improve on his path of martial arts.

Now he has achieved his lifelong pursuit and made up for the regrets of his childhood, but he has also lost the passion for the path of martial arts.

"Ali."

Just then, Lu Li saw his master come out of the house and call his name.

"Your disciple is here."

Lu Li felt that his master was different from usual today; he was somewhat serious and more like a mentor.

"The path of martial arts is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind."

Lu Feng looked at Lu Li and said, his eyes seemingly containing great wisdom, "You are already invincible. Although your master is very happy to have you two by his side every day, he does not want martial artists with such talent as you and Xue Qing to stop here."

"Master..."

Lu Li never expected that his master would see through his thoughts.

"You brat, I practically raised you from the bottom of my stomach, do you think I can't see through your thoughts?"

Lu Feng laughed and scolded, "Go ahead, just remember to come back and visit."

Lu Li was deeply moved, knowing it was time for him to set off. He couldn't spend his whole life in this gentle embrace; the world was never safe.

Leaving aside distant examples, the fact that even a world as powerful as the Divine Martial Continent was nearly destroyed in a chaotic war shows that the Sea of ​​Worlds is not so peaceful at all, and that turmoil has already begun.

Looking at the more closely related aspects, Lu Li wondered if it was really just a coincidence that the shadow had sent him back to his home world.
As his cultivation level improved, he also deduced that, in terms of randomness, the probability of him landing in this place was basically zero.

Moreover, he discovered that his home world was very special. As a world bubble, it was different from other worlds. It was shrouded by a special law power, which was very mysterious and allowed this world to be hidden in the world sea.

Even if a forbidden person passes by, they will not be able to detect it without careful investigation. It is even less likely to be detected from a distance, and it can also block the divination of heavenly secrets.

Everything suggests that this world is a hidden, special prison, designed to imprison demons and prevent their escape, and may also be related to certain experiments.

But regardless of the possibility, the shadow that knocked him to this place must know the situation of this world. To put it in the worst case, it's possible that all the special powers and restrictive rules of this world were set by the shadow's true form.

Lu Li explored within his true spirit. Now, with his extraordinary cultivation level, he could trace back to some information that had been imprinted from the outside world when his consciousness ceased to function on the Divine Martial Continent.

He seemed to have heard the shadow say that it would take him away, or rather, take the demon within him away.

He was convinced that the two must know each other, and their relationship was not simply that of a prisoner and a jailer. There might be some deeper game involved, which Lu Li could not know.

He tried to question the Demon God, but since the Heavenly Tribulation, the Demon God had never spoken again. Even when Lu Li delved into his own soul and passed through that door, he could only see the Demon God, bound by chains, with his eyes closed and not uttering a word.

Moreover, since then, Lu Li has been unable to summon the power of demon transformation from within the gate. If Lu Li hadn't seen that the world inside the gate was still a hellish scene with black mist floating in the sky, he would have suspected that the demon god had perished in the heavenly tribulation.

In reality, the demon god is alive and well, but for some reason, the other party no longer pays attention to him and will no longer release the dark material power to lend to him, just like those people in history who were unable to activate the power of the demon god.

Without the power of the Demon God, Lu Li discovered over the years that his origin had also begun to 'fade', as if the Demon God was recycling those substances. In the end, Lu Li's origin also regained its clear color and was no longer pitch black and terrifying.

Having used this power for many years, Lu Li is still somewhat unaccustomed to its sudden disappearance.

However, his combat power did not diminish as a result. After all, he had already reached such a level that the presence or absence of that dark substance would not have a significant impact on his combat power.

The substance's greatest function is to weaken the enemy's defenses and corrupt their bodies and spirits. However, if Lu Li's offensive power is violent enough, this auxiliary characteristic becomes less important.

Since the Demon God withdrew all of His power, Lu Li's Imprisoned Demon also changed its form. Now it looks like a translucent blade, like semi-transparent white jade. This is because when the Imprisoned Demon was born, it was based on the innate Qi that accompanied it, with the dark substance merely filling it.

Speaking of the Demon Prisoner, Lu Li was reminded of the luxurious, growth-oriented equipment he once possessed, which he found quite regrettable. He wondered if it had truly shattered along with his Pioneer Mark, or if it had been lost somewhere in the World Sea.

Lu Li had many thoughts flashing through his mind, but he ultimately felt that if he wanted to achieve lasting stability, staying put was not a good choice.

First of all, the nature of his home world is mysterious, and there might be some hidden tricks from that shadow. He wouldn't feel at ease unless he eliminated the other party.

Secondly, the world sea is in constant flux and the situation is turbulent. As Lu Xueqing said, the space only split and restarted after nearly nine eras, which must be to prepare for some great war and fight against the enemy.

As a former pioneer, Lu Li enjoyed the benefits of the End Space for a lifetime, but in the end, he returned to his hometown and did nothing, which made him uneasy.

Finally, and most importantly, he still has some friends in the outside world, very important friends, and he wants to know if they are safe and sound, and also wants them to know that he is still alive.

With this in mind, Lu Li made up his mind, but before leaving, he needed a proper plan to settle his master and senior sister.

Furthermore, he wants to make another trip to the sinkhole to uncover the secret of its origin.

Two years later, under Lu Li's powerful deduction, he located the entrance to the sinkhole. Lu Xueqing also said she wanted to go with him, and Lu Li did not refuse. This was because Lu Xueqing's power had recovered a lot, and she already had the strength of the ninth rank. It was no longer like the two of them who could run around in the sinkhole back then. Now, they would encounter insurmountable danger.

When the two returned to the sinkhole, they felt a sense of nostalgia, as if they were revisiting a familiar place. Lu Li couldn't help but recall the days when they helped each other, carrying each other on their backs as they struggled through the sinkhole.

"This place... is indeed a Dao-level material, and the top-tier material at that."

Lu Xueqing examined the walls inside the sinkhole and exclaimed in amazement.

Lu Li's actions were simple and brutal; he directly drew the Demon Prisoner and slashed at the wall.

Ding--

With a clang, sparks flew, and to Lu Xueqing's shock, Lu Li was unable to cut through the wall.

It should be noted that Lu Li's current strength is comparable to that of a peak ninth-tier cultivator. Even a casual slash from him should be something that ordinary Dao-level materials cannot withstand.

"This is not a material of the Great Dao level."

Lu Li frowned and said, "I suddenly remembered what Chu Chu told me. At the pinnacle of all equipment and items, there is a quality called Origin Grade."

"Chuchu?" Lu Xueqing's mouth opened slightly, seemingly surprised.

"You seem to be focusing on the wrong thing."

Lu Li didn't understand why the other person was so sensitive to Chu Chu's name.

"No, that's the key point!"

Lu Xueqing's voice turned serious, "Is she in the End Space?"

This time it was Lu Li's turn to be puzzled. The main reason was that although the two of them had talked about everything over the past million years, he would never tell Lu Xueqing the details of how he made equipment in the space, and he had never mentioned Chu Chu.

But judging from what the other person is saying now, it seems like Chu Chu shouldn't be in the End Space.

"Yes."

Lu Li replied.

“No wonder… she ran away from home and went to the End Space. I should have known. Some of your equipment has a distinct style of forging.”

Lu Xueqing said thoughtfully.

"Do you know?"

Lu Li's expression was strange; he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Of course, our two families can be said to be old friends. Although I am of a very high generation, I am about the same age as her and we have often played together since we were young."

Lu Xueqing said.

"Really? I can hardly imagine what it was like for you to play with other people when you were little..."

Lu Li grumbled, thinking about how a girl like Chu Chu and Lu Xueqing looked like when they were little. One was playing house and researching how to make a bed, while the other was practicing martial arts on her own. Just thinking about it made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"You know what? Sometimes, I really wish I could recover from my injuries immediately, reach my peak cultivation level, and then pin you down and beat you up."

Lu Xueqing also complained that Lu Li had become increasingly presumptuous over the years, relying on his high cultivation level.

"Let's not talk about that. I think this building is actually a whole, and the sinkhole itself may be an origin-level magic weapon."

Lu Li analyzed, "That's why there's a law of absolute separation here, shielding all external energy. But I just can't understand why, if the sinkhole is already perfect as a prison, it gives outsiders the opportunity to enter and exit every certain number of years?"

“I don’t think your previous analysis was necessarily correct. Although people can be trapped here, there must be a purpose in imprisoning a living being. Since the other party went to great lengths to turn it into the form of a holy soul so that it could attach itself to a person, there must be a special purpose.”

Lu Xueqing analyzed, "Perhaps this is just a testing ground, and someone wants to see how to perfectly utilize the power of the demon god within you."

"That makes sense, perhaps that's true."

Lu Li nodded and led Lu Xueqing around the sinkhole again, but they didn't find anything more.

This place seems to have been discovered by people from a certain era and used as a sect stronghold. The things in those living areas were all put there by those people. In fact, the sinkhole was not created by those people.

Over time, most of the valuable items here have been removed, leaving only the sinkhole itself as the most valuable thing.

As for those black iron guards, the materials on them are also quite good. If he could return to his space, Lu Li thought he could dismantle all the guards, melt them down, and sell them as materials.

Thinking of this, Lu Li slapped his forehead, feeling somewhat angry at himself for his lack of ambition.

He thought to himself that he already had the strength of the ninth-tier peak, so why was he still so stingy? These black iron guards were just Chaos-level materials, how much money could they cost?

So he opened up the space, led Lu Xueqing out of the sinkhole, used his great magic to pull the sinkhole out of the singularity, then used the Qiankun method to contain it, and finally it fell into his hands.

The shrunken sinkhole looks like a bronze seal, and the patterns on the bottom seem to have special meaning.

Lu Li played with it for a while and felt that it was too heavy. It was only because of his current extraordinary strength that he could not lift it if it were given to Lu Xueqing.

To pick up this seal, one needs at least the strength of the late stage of the ninth rank. If one wants to unleash its power to smash someone, one really needs the strength of the peak of the ninth rank to handle it.

As for why he only thought of using this thing to hit people, it's because he hasn't figured out its true purpose yet. He only feels that the material is exceptionally hard, and even he has difficulty breaking it.

After the sinkhole was cleared, Lu Li eliminated some of the hidden dangers in this world. He returned to the dojo and bid farewell to his master and senior sister.

Lu Li said that his power had reached its peak and he was about to ascend to a wider world. Once he settled down, he would bring his master and senior sister over.

Lu Li made this decision after careful consideration. To be honest, there was nothing in this world that he was attached to. The only people he cared about were his master and senior sister. Now that he had done what he could, he did not want his master and senior sister to stay here.

If it were an ordinary world, it wouldn't be so bad; staying in such a world would be quite comfortable. But this world seems to have the machinations of a being like Shadow, making Lu Li uneasy about having to keep his master and senior sister here for an extended period of time.

Since he had mentioned wanting to travel far away two years ago, his master and senior sister were not surprised. They just told him to come back soon. As for whether or not they should take them to the 'Immortal Realm', the two of them didn't care much.

And so, Lu Li broke through the sky and stepped into the Sea of ​​Worlds with Lu Xueqing.

He had considered taking his master and senior sister with him, but Lu Xueqing dissuaded him, saying that the World Sea was not as calm as it seemed. Even a peak ninth-level cultivator could not guarantee that they would not encounter any accidents while walking in it.

Moreover, they are currently unclear about the situation in the Sea of ​​the World. If Lu Li really encounters a battle on the way, who will protect his vulnerable family?

Although the Homeland World seems to be orchestrated by a powerful figure, it is extremely well hidden, making it the safest place within the World Ocean.

Lu Li could also see that no great figures had ever descended upon this world throughout history, as if it had been abandoned here after rules were set. Therefore, the safest approach was to let his family live peacefully here first. After he understood the situation of the World Sea and the space, he would then decide whether to settle the two of them in a better place.

Lu Li's goal for this trip remains the Divine Martial Continent. Because the space is difficult to find, they no longer have the Explorer's Mark and cannot sense it.

Lu Xueqing said that her bloodline power could point out the direction of the Divine Martial Continent, and once there, she could find a way to contact the space.
