Fa Yuan stared at Chu Li.
One of them was at the bow and the other was at the stern. They were very close to each other, and Fa Yuan's senses were especially sharp.
He felt that Chu Li must have something to do with the Heavenly Demon Scripture. He might have even cultivated the Heavenly Demon Scripture, but he did not have the aura of the Heavenly Demon Scripture on him.
"Anyone who cultivates the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon will become the public enemy of Buddhism," Fa Yuan said in a low voice. "Brother Chu, please don't make a mistake."
"Fa Yuan, how many times have you repeated it!" Chu Li could not help but laugh. "Since it's the public enemy of Buddhism, why hasn't the Heavenly Demon Scripture been lost?"
"The Fu Dynasty's Buddhism isn't flourishing, that's why they're still around. If they were in the Ji Dynasty, they would've been destroyed long ago." Fa Yuan shook his head. "Moreover, the cultivation of the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon is extremely difficult. There are very few cultivators, so the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon will not flourish. It is destined to decline and eventually be lost!"
"The Scripture of the Heavenly Demon has these drawbacks, but there are still people who cultivate it. There must be something special about it, right?" Chu Li asked.
Fa Yuan said slowly, "After mastering the Heavenly Demonic Power, one can transform into a myriad of forms and transform into another person. It's impossible to guard against it, but the cultivation of the Heavenly Demonic Scripture requires a root vessel."
Chu Li nodded thoughtfully.
Fa Yuan glanced at Chu Li and felt that Chu Li might have cultivated the Heavenly Demon Scripture.
If it was someone else, they might not be able to cultivate the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon even if they obtained it. They needed to have a deep foundation in Buddhism to understand what the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon talked about. Without a deep understanding of Buddhism, reading the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon was no different from reading the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon.
Even those who were well-versed in Buddhism might not be able to comprehend the Heavenly Demon Scripture. Only the smartest people could comprehend it.
Chu Li fulfilled all these conditions. He had a deep understanding of Buddhism and an amazing comprehension. If there were only ten people in the world who could successfully cultivate the Heavenly Demon Scripture, he might be one of them.
Chu Li smiled. "Then how does the Tempest Temple restrain the Heavenly Demon Scripture?"
"There are many secret Buddhist techniques that can counter the Heavenly Demon Scripture, but the most fundamental one is the Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture." Fa Yuan said slowly, "Once you master the Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture, you will no longer be deceived by the Heavenly Demon. You will be able to see through all lies and deceit and see the true face. No matter how much you change, you will not be able to hide!"
"I see." Chu Li nodded and smiled. "If I've cultivated both the Heavenly Demon Scripture and Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture, would you still be able to tell?"
"That's impossible." Fa Yuan shook his head. "Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture and the Heavenly Demon Scripture are incompatible. It's impossible to cultivate them together."
"I see …" Chu Li sighed. "The Heavenly Demon Scripture is quite extraordinary. Don't worry, I've cultivated the Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture."
Fa Yuan pressed his palms together and let out a long sigh.
Chu Li continued to ask, "By the way, have you found out about the secret of the Enlightened Master in the Imperial Mausoleum?"
Chu Li felt that the Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture and the Heavenly Demon Scripture could be cultivated at the same time because of the existence of the Great Light Scripture.
Fa Yuan pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Actually, it's nothing much. The Inner City of the Imperial Mausoleum hides the Enlightened Master's remains. Through the remains, I discovered the secrets of the Enlightened Master. That's all."
"When heavenly deities ascend to the heavens, they don't transform into rainbows. Why would they leave behind any remains?"
He had always been dubious about the secret of the Empyrean in the Imperial Mausoleum. He felt that someone had deliberately spread the rumor and that it might not be true.
"The Heavenly God Ascension Method is not the same. Some will turn into a rainbow and leave behind a Heavenly God Pellet, while others will leave behind an Unbreakable Golden Body."
"An Unbreakable Golden Body?"
"Unbreakable, everlasting, lifelike, no different from a living person, but without a breath," Fa Yuan said.
Chu Li frowned. "Is there anything indestructible in this world?"
Fa Yuan said, "An Unbreakable Golden Body can stay in this world for a thousand years."
"What's the use of leaving these golden bodies?" Chu Li scoffed.
"An Unbreakable Golden Body is the link between the Outland and this world. Without these golden bodies, the Leng Family can't connect with the Outland and can't produce Enlightened Masters."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and slowly nodded. "I see!"
He finally understood the mystery behind it.
These golden bodies were like fixed coordinates and also the passage between the Outland and this world. The descendants of the Leng Family needed to connect with the Outland through these golden bodies and become Enlightened Masters!
No wonder the Enlightened Masters of the Imperial Family came out from the Imperial Mausoleum.
"Brother Chu, do you understand?" Fa Yuan looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li sighed. "The Imperial Mausoleum is the foundation to become Enlightened Masters. It's not wrong to say that it contains the secrets of the Enlightened Masters!"
"If you're not from the Leng Family, even if you get these golden bodies, it's useless." Fa Yuan shook his head.
"If these golden bodies are taken away, won't the Leng Family lose the possibility of becoming Enlightened Masters?" Chu Li asked.
Fa Yuan said lightly, "Don't forget that the Emperor is an Enlightened Master. Who can take him away?"
Chu Li smiled bitterly and nodded.
Even if the other golden bodies were taken away, there was still the Emperor. As long as the Emperor was around, once he ascended to heaven, the golden body would become a passage and the descendants of the Leng Family could use it to become Enlightened Masters.
"Then wouldn't it be a joke to study these golden bodies to become Enlightened Masters?" Chu Li scoffed. "Those Imperial Mausoleum Internal Guards were tricked into entering, right? How can they study the golden bodies? "
The golden bodies would definitely not allow outsiders to touch them, so how would they have the opportunity to study them?
Fa Yuan said, "Although these golden bodies are dead, they are no different from when they were alive. The aura of an Enlightened Master is still there. By feeling this aura, one can touch the mystery of Enlightened Masters and understand the method to become Enlightened Masters."
"If it's so magical, how can the four major sects sit still?" Chu Li scoffed.
Fa Yuan slowly shook his head. "The four major sects have Heaven and God Pills or indestructible golden bodies. There's no need to study the Leng Family."
Chu Li frowned.
Fa Yuan said, "Brother Chu, you want to become an Enlightened Master too, right?"
"Who doesn't?" Chu Li said.
Fa Yuan smiled and shook his head. "Brother Chu, it's impossible to become an Enlightened Master. Just give up."
"Hmm?" Chu Li scoffed. "Why can't I become an Enlightened Master?"
"Only the four major sects and the imperial family can become Enlightened Masters. It's impossible for other sects, not even the High Duke's Public House," Fa Yuan said slowly. "Even if you can become the world's number one, you can't become an Enlightened Master unless you're a disciple of the four major sects," Fa Yuan said slowly.
"Maybe I'll suddenly have an epiphany and join the Titanium Temple." Chu Li smiled.
His joining the Amethyst Mountain had always been a secret. Other than a few people, no one else knew about it.
Fa Yuan smiled. "Then you'll have to defeat me first, Brother Chu."
"Let's wait and see." Chu Li scoffed. "As for King An, you guys take care of him too."
"Brother Chu, you're making things difficult for me." Fa Yuan sighed. "His Highness King An doesn't listen to us. He and the temple are just using each other. The temple wants to ease the relationship with the imperial family while he wants to recover his martial arts."
Chu Li glared at him.
Fa Yuan put his palms together apologetically.
The two of them stood on the small boat. The boat floated and circled around Adjacent Town. When it returned to Chu Li's residence, Fa Yuan bid farewell and left.
—
The sun was setting and the western sky was covered in red clouds.
Chu Li looked at the towering city wall in front of him and was filled with emotions. The Fu Dynasty's city wall was much taller than the Ji Dynasty and the Li Dynasty. The city wall in front of him was twice the height of the Ji Dynasty's city wall. It was about thirty meters tall and was ten stories high.
Standing under the city wall, one could not help but feel small.
Using the Omniscient Mirror, he could see the bustling city within a ten mile radius.
This was only a remote town in the extreme west of the Fu Dynasty, but it was already comparable to the bustling Chong Ming Town.
The city tower was majestic and imposing.
The wide city gate did not have a gate guard at all. Anyone could enter and leave at will. There was an endless stream of carriages and people coming and going.
Chu Li's white robe fluttered in the wind and a long blade hung on his waist. He walked slowly and calmly in the crowd like a crane among chickens, very eye-catching.
