Chapter 146
280. A daughter grown up is hard to keep
"A special method to eliminate fatigue. After all, you've waited for so many days, so you're bound to be a little tired." Lu Li had promised Ziyun that he would not mention the matter of the Ruin Dragon Pulse, so he just hugged the Dragon Maiden sisters and told a small lie. "Alright, let me send you back to rest first."
"Mm!" Hearing Zi Yan and Ziyao didn't doubt Lu Li's words, just nodded with flushed faces.
……
A fresh, natural aura entered his embrace, and Celestin's energy wandered through Lu Li's body. Detecting that there was truly nothing abnormal about him, this World Tree Spirit finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, didn't you say it yourself? The curse of the Ruin Dragon Pulse only targets the clansmen of Dragon Valley and has no effect on me." Hugging Celestin's slender waist with both hands, Lu Li naturally understood her intention just now. "What about you? You consumed quite a bit of energy just now. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"This bit of energy consumption is nothing to me. After all, it wasn't a direct battle, just eradicating the influence of the Ruin Dragon Pulse." With a comforting response, Celestin looked up. "Mana has already introduced Kisara to us, and I have also settled her in."
"I trust you with your work." Pinching Celestin's delicate face, Lu Li looked around; Mana and Xiaobai were also walking over with Kisara.
"Are you used to it, Kisara?" With his other hand, he touched the silver-haired, blue-eyed girl's head, and Lu Li asked.
"I'm already used to it, Master." Rubbing her fair face against Lu Li's large hand, Kisara said softly.
"Master, do you still not trust me?" Mana couldn't help but hug Lu Li's neck and act spoiled.
"You girl." Rubbing Mana's small head dotingly, Lu Li looked at the many Magic Card Spirits. "I might stay in Dragon Valley for a few days. Once we return to the Heavenly Mansion, the next step will be the exploration of the Eternal Night Plane. You all need to be prepared by then."
This trip to Dragon Valley had unlocked the system's third authority and also successfully crafted Kisara. He was only one step away from advancing to the King Realm, which could be considered a complete success.
As for staying in Dragon Valley, it was also because of the invitation the other party had made when he was sending the Dragon Maiden sisters back. Now, there was still a short time before the agreed-upon departure for the Eternal Night Plane, so Lu Li wasn't in a hurry to return to the Heavenly Mansion.
However, speaking of this, Lu Li suddenly realized that it seemed like this trip back to the Heavenly Mansion might take a while.
When they came, they could use the unique teleportation item of Dragon Valley, but going back? It seemed they didn't have any similar teleportation items.
Forget it, just treat it as an outing.
For the past half year, he basically hadn't stopped. This time, he would just relax properly; after all, there were still many things that needed to be handled later.
"Understood, Master!" Hearing Lu Li's words, the girls said in unison. In the distance, the sound of a dragon's roar also came, as if responding to Lu Li.
……
"This is the route they will take next. I hope you don't forget our deal." On the light screen, Long Ni, wearing a black hood, said in a deep voice. At the same time, an encrypted file was transmitted to Wo Wenyao's personal terminal.
"Rest assured. But since you can obtain this information, why don't you do it yourself?" Taking a look at the information sent by Long Ni, Wo Wenyao asked.
"Naturally, it's because we have more important things to handle; otherwise, we wouldn't need to seek you out for cooperation." Long Ni on the light screen just dropped this sentence and cut off the communication.
"If it weren't for the sake of breaking through to the Emperor Realm, would I cooperate with you rats in the dark?" Long Ni's attitude made Wo Wenyao's expression turn gloomy. However, he still snorted coldly in the end and began to pack his luggage.
Once he completed the deal with Long Ni this time, he wouldn't even return to the Heavenly Mansion, so he naturally had to take everything with him.
……
"Head of the Mansion, someone has set off!" In another part of the Heavenly Mansion, as Wo Wenyao set off, Zhan Tai Mingyue also reported to Wen Xiuyuan.
Although Wo Wenyao had hidden it well, Zhan Tai Mingyue was no pushover, especially since they had already learned that there was a mole in the Heavenly Mansion trading with Long Ni, and there was also Bo Yunfei, the prisoner.
Therefore, very quickly, Zhan Tai Mingyue locked onto several mentors who were more suspicious, including Wo Wenyao.
However, Zhan Tai Mingyue was not yet sure if Wo Wenyao was the mole, so she did not alert the enemy.
It was just that going out at this time made Wo Wenyao's movements somewhat suspicious.
"Follow him. If he really is the mole, then just capture him alive!" Hearing Zhan Tai Mingyue's report, Wen Xiuyuan ordered without any hesitation.
On a daily basis, Wen Xiuyuan might seem unreliable, but in the end, he was the Head of the Heavenly Mansion, an Undying Realm powerhouse. A single word from him was enough to decide the life or death of a peak King Realm expert!

……
Over the next few days, under the guidance of the Dragon Maiden sisters, Lu Li had a good tour of Dragon Valley. Of course, he didn't forget to bring some local specialties for the Night Queen and Mentor Meng Fei.
During this period, the loli dragon Fafna basically stuck to the three of them. However, in Lu Li's view, this loli dragon was purely greedy; for these few days, she had never been without sweets in her mouth.
This made Lu Li have to wonder if he could kidnap this twelve-star epic loli dragon if he brought enough snacks.
Besides Fafna, Ye Tianming would also come over from time to time. His main purpose was still to challenge Lu Li, intending to wash away his past shame.
Unfortunately, in the end, he was hung up and beaten by Lu Li with various Magic Cards. If it weren't for the fact that Ye Tianming was his brother-in-law, Lu Li wouldn't have held back, and this descendant of the Dragon Lord might have been beaten into autism.
"I say, brother-in-law, can't you let me win once?" Once again hung up and beaten, Ye Tianming looked at Lu Li with a painful expression. He was his brother-in-law, after all; this was giving him no face at all.
"If I held back, that would be disrespecting you." To this, Lu Li replied calmly, but his hands didn't stop moving, putting a dragon tooth emitting a thick aura into the Magic Card Editor.
Basically, every time Ye Tianming came to challenge him, he would bring a lot of bets. And since this was Dragon Valley, the bets were naturally mostly dragon-type materials.
As a direct descendant of the Dragon Lord, the materials Ye Tianming possessed naturally couldn't be bad. This was also the reason why Lu Li agreed to the other party's challenge every time.
"That's what you say, but being abused so much, I always feel it's not very cool!" Ye Tianming liked to challenge the strong, but he couldn't be abused every time.
"You should be content. Lu Li is the only one willing to accompany you for a fight every day. If it were anyone else, they might be hiding from you." Beside Lu Li, the sisters Hearing Zi Yan and Ziyao retorted in unison.
As for the "brother-in-law" thing, they didn't know if Ye Tianming was used to calling him that or if he did it on purpose. The Dragon Maiden sisters couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him; they got used to it after hearing it so much.
A daughter grown up is hard to keep!
Seeing this, Ye Tianming couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He really had forgotten his old brother for a lover. As expected, women only mess up my state of mind!
"Forget it, I can't win against you." Waving his hand, Ye Tianming said, "I'm going to the Burial Dragon Court, I'll go first."
281. Burial Dragon Court! Dragon Valley's inheritance!
"Burial Dragon Court?" Looking at the departing Ye Tianming, Lu Li developed a trace of interest in the Burial Dragon Court mentioned by the other party.
"The Burial Dragon Court, like the Dragon Transformation Pool, is one of the most important forbidden areas in our Dragon Valley." Seeing Lu Li's interest, Ziyao explained softly, "That is the place where our Dragon Valley's past martyrs are buried, and it is also a place of trial for our Dragon Valley clansmen."
"The Burial Dragon Court is set up with special trials. As long as one can pass all the trials, one has the opportunity to obtain the inheritance of the martyrs." Ziyao also added, "However, to enter the Burial Dragon Court to participate in the trials and receive the inheritance, one must at least possess the strength of the King Realm. If one can reach the King Realm and unlock the ability of Source Synchronization, that would be even better."
"Of course, there are also regulations for participating in the trials and receiving the inheritance. If one reaches the Emperor Realm, one cannot enter the Burial Dragon Court."
Only Magic Card Masters of the King Realm could enter the Burial Dragon Court. Neither Hearing Zi Yan nor Ziyao had reached this level yet, let alone the King Realm, so they weren't too clear about the trials and inheritance of the Burial Dragon Court.
"Inheritance of the martyrs?" Hearing this, Lu Li nodded knowingly. This should be about the same as the family inheritance or sect inheritance in the novels of his previous life.
It's just that if it were the inheritance of Dragon Valley's martyrs, then even if he were interested in the Burial Dragon Court, he probably wouldn't be able to enter it.
However, Lu Li didn't have too many thoughts about this. After all, in this world, not everything can always go as one wishes, right?
"So you were here. What are you chatting about?" A gentle voice came from afar. When the last word fell, one of the nine Dragon Lords, Ziyun, had already arrived beside the three.
Perhaps because she had been tortured for a long time by the Ruin Dragon Pulse and the injuries left by her failed attempt to break through to the Supreme Realm, even though Lu Li had already eradicated the Ruin Dragon Pulse from her body, Ziyun still gave people the feeling of a weak, sickly beauty.
"Mother, we were just chatting about the Burial Dragon Court." Seeing Ziyun arrive, the Dragon Maiden sisters hugged her arms, one on each side, and told her about what had just happened.
"The Burial Dragon Court?" Hearing the two girls' explanation, Ziyun showed a look of realization. She then looked at Lu Li, a flash of strange color in her eyes. "Are you interested in the Burial Dragon Court?"
"If I said I wasn't interested, that would seem a bit fake." Shrugging, Lu Li didn't hide his thoughts. "If there's an opportunity, I'd like to go into the Burial Dragon Court and take a look."
Not only was it the inheritance of Dragon Valley's martyrs, but more importantly, the essence of the Burial Dragon Court's trials was aimed at the clansmen of Dragon Valley. There were likely many dragon species within it. It was rare to come to Dragon Valley, so Lu Li truly wanted to see and learn more.
More importantly, these were all dragons. With such conditions, Lu Li really wanted to let the WarGreymon come out for a walk.
As for Ye Tianming, although it was a bit business-like to say so, the other party's strength was not enough to let WarGreymon take the stage.
"Since you are interested in the Burial Dragon Court, then you can come with me." Unexpected words escaped Ziyun's cherry lips. Whether it was Lu Li or the Dragon Maiden sisters, they all looked at this sickly beauty in surprise.
"Mother, isn't the Burial Dragon Court only accessible to clansmen? Can Lu Li also enter?" Hearing Zi Yan was full of confusion.
That Lu Li could obtain the qualification to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool was already considered unexpected. However, considering that this involved Long Ni, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible.
But now, looking at Ziyun's meaning, it seemed that even the Burial Dragon Court was being opened to Lu Li, which was a bit strange. Even Lu Li couldn't understand this point. Was Dragon Valley really so easy to talk to?
"Usually, that is indeed the case." Reaching out to stroke her two daughters' hair, Ziyun smiled. "However, rules are dead, but people are alive. Many things don't need to be handled as rigidly as one imagines."
"Opening the Burial Dragon Court to Lu Li is something that has been unanimously approved by all the Dragon Lords. It's not something I can just decide on my own."
"Actually, the reason I sought you out this time also has to do with this aspect." Saying this, Ziyun looked at Lu Li again, seemingly implying something. "Dragon Valley owes him quite a big favor this time."
Back then, Ziyun's suggestion to open the Burial Dragon Court to Lu Li didn't waste much time before it was agreed upon by the other eight Dragon Lords, including Ye Fan and Gu Nanqing. This also matched what Lu Li had done for Dragon Valley.
Of course, whether Lu Li could pass the trials of Dragon Valley within the Burial Dragon Court and whether he could obtain the inheritance of the martyrs would depend on Lu Li's own fortune.
If there was any precedent for Dragon Valley opening up to the outside world, Lu Li would be the first outsider to enter the Burial Dragon Court. What would happen, even the nine Dragon Lords, including Ziyun, didn't know.
"Is that so?" Hearing Zi Yan and Ziyao nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite. However, Lu Li caught the subtext of Ziyun's words; this should be related to the Ruin Dragon Pulse.
"However, this is also the first time the Burial Dragon Court has been opened to an outsider who is not from Dragon Valley. What you will encounter inside, even we Dragon Lords don't know." After explaining, Ziyun said again, "So, when the time comes, you must be extra careful."
"As for you two, don't even think about sneaking in. With your strength as only Commander Realm, if you want to enter the Burial Dragon Court, you'd better work harder."
Having their little thoughts exposed by their mother, the Dragon Maiden sisters were also full of shyness, hugging Ziyun's arms and acting spoiled... 0
The three women's appearances were already nine-tenths similar. After this operation, in Lu Li's eyes, they looked even more like sisters.
……
"Old man, isn't it time yet?" Outside the Burial Dragon Court, Ye Tianming looked around with a bored expression. He had already been here for a while, but he didn't know why he hadn't entered the Burial Dragon Court yet.
"So rash. Can't you learn from others?" Seeing Ye Tianming's performance, Ye Fan couldn't help but give this kid a flick to the forehead. "Furthermore, not everyone has arrived yet."
As Ye Tianming's father, he wasn't a rash person himself. Why couldn't this kid learn these merits of his?
"I say, old man, can't you be lighter?" Although he was in the King Realm and his physical fitness had improved a lot, he still couldn't withstand a flick from an Undying Realm powerhouse.
Not far from the two, Bu Miyun and Dian Xinlan moved their gazes away silently after seeing this. However, they were also puzzled about who else hadn't arrived. ===== CHAPTER 147 =====
