Elf: How do you cultivate immortality in the elf world?

Chapter 328 The Secret Realm of the Li Tang Dynasty.

Although they failed to create gods, they did manage to revive divine beasts.

Your progress will be no less than others!
…………

Although the real world is engulfed in war, this does not hinder the celebration of the Secret Realm Dynasty.

On this day, a guest arrived at the Lu Family Manor.

Upon hearing that another Flying-type trainer was attempting to approach his manor, Lu Li immediately led his Charizard and the others to meet them.

Regardless of whether the visitor was a friend or an enemy, Lu Li never intended to receive them at the manor.

After all, the Lu family manor doesn't have an energy shield yet, so if a real fight breaks out, they'll always be the ones who suffer.

On the Charizard, a middle-aged man wearing bright silver armor stopped after seeing Lu Li's Charizard.

“As a guest, you have entered private property,” Lu Li said, blocking the other party’s way.

The middle-aged man didn't speak, but instead checked the tablet and, after confirming it was Lu Li, tossed a backpack to Lu Li.

"I am here on the orders of the Tang Emperor to invite you to the Victory Ceremony. Lady Freya is also among those invited. Please pass this invitation on to her." After saying this, the middle-aged man bowed and then rode away on his fire-breathing dragon.

Lu Li took the backpack with a bewildered look, and then saw two tokens lying inside.

"This must be what they call an invitation, right?" Lu Li, carrying his backpack, turned and went home.

After summoning Freya, Lu Li gave her the token.

"It seems that the Li Tang Dynasty has a deeper control over the real world than we imagined. They actually know you're here with me," Lu Li remarked.

Freya replied, "That's normal. What's more terrifying than aristocratic families are these secret realm dynasties."

"Above the new elite families are the noble families, and above the noble families are the dynasties. Although these secret realm dynasties have withdrawn from the real world, they are still thousand-year-old dynasties. Their foundation is so profound that it is beyond our imagination," Freya said with emotion.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li suddenly thought of North America in this world.

It's important to know that no dynasties ever existed in North America; in other words, there were no dynasties in North America.

Thinking of this, Lu Li asked curiously, "Do you have any such secret realm forces in North America?"

“Yes! This is what I haven’t finished saying yet.” Freya nodded and then explained, “Above the imperial dynasty are the clans of the secret realm. Although the Li Tang dynasty claims to be a clan of the secret realm, they are still lacking in foundation compared to the real clans of the secret realm.”

Lu Li nodded thoughtfully. The so-called secret realm remnants should be similar to the Church of Life.

Freya asked, "So...should we enter the Li Tang Dynasty's secret realm ahead of time? You know, the Li Tang Dynasty only accepts outsiders during the Victory Conference."

Freya was particularly interested in the once-in-a-century Victory Tournament, and not just the Victory Tournament itself.

Lu Li was also interested in the so-called secret realm of the Li Tang Dynasty.

"So, we can just go?" Lu Li asked eagerly.

He had already prepared the talismans and pills, so he didn't need to make any other preparations even if he set off now.

Freya smiled brightly and said, "Wait for me a moment, I'll pack my things."

Lu Li nodded in understanding, after all, girls need to make a lot of preparations before going out.

Taking advantage of this free time, Lu Li found Wei again.

Vi is also interested in the Victory Tournament, but she is also someone who is well aware of her own abilities.

Although she can now be considered an Elite Four level trainer, it's all thanks to her Brutus, and she can't possibly use Brutus in competitions.

After all, the risks and rewards are not proportional at all. If people really find out that she has a divine beast cub, it will cause trouble for Lu Li again.

Wei shook her head and refused, saying, "I won't go. Bao Bao and I will stay home and look after the house. Besides, there are quite a few things to do at home, so someone has to keep an eye on things."

Lu Li nodded: "Then I'll leave the family in your care."

“It’s alright, it’s all what I should do,” Wei replied with a smile.

Freya packed her things in about half an hour.

The Li Tang Dynasty's secret realm is located in the northwest region of Kyushu. Freya didn't want to use teleportation to travel there, as the distance was too far and the experience would be quite unpleasant.

But it's better to be uncomfortable for a while than to be uncomfortable the whole way, so the two of them used teleportation to get there.

A distance of thousands of kilometers can be covered in just a few breaths with instantaneous teleportation.

"Instant teleportation is so convenient." Lu Li exclaimed sincerely in front of the new Chang'an city gate.

The new Chang'an City is a city rebuilt on the original Chang'an City, which was reduced to ruins by war long before the War of Truth.

The new Chang'an City was rebuilt on the ruins.

The Li Tang dynasty was located in the suburbs of the new Chang'an city.

Because their minds were focused on the Victory Conference, the two did not linger in the real-world city of New Chang'an.

The Li Tang Dynasty Secret Realm is not under the jurisdiction of the Alliance. The guards responsible for watching over the exit of the Secret Realm are a group of guards wearing ancient armor.

With the invitation, the two entered the Chang'an Secret Realm without any problems.

Unlike the sense of separation when entering other secret realms, the entrance to the Li Tang Dynasty secret realm is more like a long corridor, where you can see the environment inside just by standing outside and looking through the exit at the end of the passage.

"Just standing at the exit, you can feel the rich elemental energy. The concentration of elemental energy in this secret realm is even higher than that of the Green Heart Secret Realm," Lu Li murmured.

Following Lu Li's remark, an old man dressed in ancient costume asked curiously, "Young man, have you also been to the Green Heart Secret Realm?"

Although he didn't know who the other person was, Lu Li still nodded politely.

The old man remarked with emotion, "It seems this young man doesn't come from an ordinary family."

Before Lu Li could reply, the old man introduced himself: "I am Li Zhong. According to the professional classification in your real world, I am a diplomat of the Tang Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li was filled with respect.

This old man is a genuine "local".

"This junior, Lu Li, greets you, senior," Lu Li said politely.

The old man smiled and corrected him, "Don't argue with me about the language. The customs of our Tang Dynasty are actually quite similar to those of your world. Just communicate normally."

Lu Li could only nod with a smile.

The old man said with immense pride, “Go in! Your generation is fortunate to witness the glory of our Great Tang Empire.”

Lu Li and Freya walked curiously into the passageway. As soon as they entered the secret realm, a guard handed them a tablet computer.

"My lords, this contains a map of the Tang Dynasty, as well as some basic information and points to note."

Lu Li took the tablet and then curiously opened the map of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Empire was vast; in fact, the entire secret realm could be considered part of its sphere of influence. Looking at the map, Lu Li discovered that the spirits in this secret realm were more like domesticated creatures than wild ones.

Almost every large forest or mountain range has a city nearby, and only then will there be roads leading directly into the depths of the forest or mountain range.

Lu Li glanced at the precautions again. There was nothing else to be careful about. The only thing to be careful about was that in this secret realm, although trainers were allowed to capture their favorite Pokémon.

Each trainer is limited to capturing no more than two Pokémon, and must report the capture to the imperial court.

"I wonder if there are any quasi-gods in the Li Tang Dynasty's secret realm," Lu Li muttered.

“Yes, brother, yes! You’re absolutely right, there are at least nine kinds in this secret realm!” A simple, honest voice rang out behind Lu Li.

The chubby, even somewhat simple-minded Peng Kazo introduced himself to Lu Li, saying, "My name is Peng Kazo. You may not have heard of me, but you definitely know my brother."

“Peng Kazo? Your brother is Peng Kazo?” Lu Li asked thoughtfully.

Peng Kazo smiled and nodded, then continued to ask, "Young man, are you interested in the quasi-gods of this secret realm? How about we cooperate?"

Land from:"……"

Lu Li couldn't understand why the other party was being so familiar, but considering that the other party had used information about a pseudo-god to lure him in, Lu Li was naturally happy to play along.

"How do we cooperate?" Lu Li asked curiously.

Penkazo explained, “I know where there are pseudo-gods, we can go together and try to subdue them.”

"Are you sure you want to take me with you? No other requirements?" Lu Li asked, puzzled.

Penkazo nodded emphatically.

"Yes, you heard me right. You don't need to pay any price. I can take you to the location where there are traces of quasi-gods."

Is it so good?
A hint of wariness flashed in Lu Li's eyes.

As a time traveler, Lu Li was wary of any free lunch.

"Why?" Lu Li could not accept the other party's explanation.

The Peng family behind Peng Kazo is a common family among the eighteen major aristocratic families. How could someone from such a family possibly have inexplicable goodwill towards a commoner?

Moreover, they used near-god-level characters as bait.

Freya also calmly observed the honest-looking fat man in front of her.

Judging from their age, the other person should be around 30 years old. The fact that they can participate in the Victory Tournament means that they should not be over 30 years old.

Anyone over 20 is considered an adult, let alone a scion of a prominent family like Pencajo who is known for his precociousness.

People from this background won't give you benefits just because they admire you; the most important thing is that you have value.

So what is valuable about Lu Li?
That's too much.

Thinking of this, Freya instantly understood the cause and effect and the other party's purpose, but unfortunately Lu Li had not yet figured out the pros and cons.

Freya advised from the side, "You can agree to it. I believe this man doesn't mean any harm."

If Freya could bring back one or two pseudo-gods, she wouldn't mind owing Pencaszo a favor.

Lu Li listened thoughtfully and glanced at Freya before choosing to believe her.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Peng." Lu Li addressed him as "brother" without hesitation.

"Hehehe, sister-in-law and brother, no need to be so polite. I felt a connection with you two the moment I saw you," Peng Kazor said modestly with a smile.

“Let’s go, let’s get in the carriage first, we can talk about the details once we’re there,” Peng Kazor said, leading the way.

Soon the three of them arrived in front of a huge carriage.

The carriage's overall structure consisted of three heavy mud-drawn horses and a huge iron box.

After following Peng Kazo into the carriage, Lu Li discovered that there was actually another secret inside.

"Is this space backpack technology?" Lu Li asked in surprise.

Pengkazo smiled and then explained, "It's a very crude application of space technology. It's actually a mobile secret space. Because the structure of the secret space is not very stable, any flow of current or energy could cause the secret space to fail."

"Because we cannot use any mechanical equipment to drive the carriage, we can only use heavy mud-bearing horses to pull the carriage forward."

Lu Li nodded. He wasn't very interested in the matter, but since they had already explained it, he should still show his support.

"That's amazing," Lu Li said insincerely.

After taking his seat, Penkazo placed his laptop on the table and pulled up an electronic map.

“This is where the pseudo-legendary creatures are located in this secret realm. Look here,” Penkazo said, pointing to a Dragonite icon. “A group of Dragonite and Salamence live here.”

Lu Li also looked at the electronic map in front of him carefully; it had already marked which quasi-god-like Pokémon were in which places.

Penkazo wasn't exaggerating; the location information for nine pseudo-legendary Pokémon is indeed on it.

"Are you sure the Tang Empire will allow us to subdue quasi-gods in the secret realm?" Lu Li asked.

Peng Kazo nodded and said with certainty, "Of course! This map was given to me by a friend of mine from the Tang Dynasty royal family."

You can only catch two, but you can't let it affect the competition.

“Then… let’s do it here.” Lu Li said, pointing to a label.

Penkazo gave a thumbs up and sincerely praised, "Garuda and Tyranitar? You really know how to pick them, little brother."

Pengkazo asked, "Let's do it here then. By the way, do you have flying spirits? Teleportation isn't allowed in this secret realm."

Hearing this, Lu Li raised his eyebrows.

Teleportation isn't allowed? Is the entire secret realm sealed off by space?
Thinking of this, Lu Li looked at Freya beside him.

Freya nodded: "He's right. This secret realm has been sealed off. Space spirits that can teleport are completely unusable, or perhaps they're not strong enough."

“My sister-in-law is right. To use Teleport in this secret realm, you need to be at least a Champion-level trainer,” Penkazo agreed.

"Not even the entire secret realm?" Lu Li asked incredulously.

Penkazo nodded: "Not in the entire secret realm! In some places, even champions can't use teleportation."

"Such a spatial blockade is beyond the realm of gods; it might require divine intervention. Is the relationship between the God of Victory and the Li family really that good?" Lu Li wondered.

Lu Li said, "Freya and I can ride the fire-breathing dragon together."

“In that case, there’s no need for a carriage.” Penkazo nodded and then stopped the carriage.

After getting off the vehicle, Penkazo immediately released a Gym Leader-level Pidgeot, and Lu Li, seeing this, also released Charizard.
