They were at the front hall, where the Chancellors were supposed to rest.
They could rest here before the morning assembly and rest after the assembly. After all, morning assembly was a strenuous affair. It would be too much to walk out of the Imperial House after standing for so long.
"Young Lu, come with me." The elder in black chuckled and flicked his horsetail whisk. "The three of you, wait here. I'll send you there later."
"Yes, Elder Zhao." The three of them closed fist saluted and nodded respectfully.
The elder's plump body descended the steps. Chu Li followed behind him and walked around the hall. After walking for about two hundred meters, they arrived at a hall at the back.
A plaque hung above the hall. The words' Chong Wen Hall 'glowed in gold.
Chu Li looked up and was stunned.
Without the Omniscient Mirror, he was not as sensitive to his surroundings. Only now did he realize that the top of his head was different after entering the Imperial House.
There were no longer murals or smooth stones above his head. Instead, there were luminous pearls embedded in the stone slabs.
These luminous pearls were not counted individually but in clusters, forming the shape of the night sky.
A cluster or several clusters of luminous pearls formed a constellation. There was also a cluster of luminous pearls that formed a bright moon, emitting a gentle glow.
The Forbidden Palace was also inlaid with luminous pearls, so there was no need for torches. One could see everything clearly. Although it couldn't be compared to daytime, it gave off the feeling of being brightly lit. There wasn't the slightest bit of eerie feeling, and one would forget that they were underground.
Chu Li was speechless. He did not know how many luminous pearls were embedded above his head. If he had the Omniscient Mirror, he would be able to estimate most of them. Now, he had to look at them one by one. It took him a while to count them all. The luxury of the Imperial House was on full display.
"Young Lu, why are you spacing out? Come here!" The elder in black walked in front and turned to look at him.
Chu Li smiled. "Elder Zhao, do I really have to come to Chong Wen Hall?"
"Young? Boom! Death? Lu Xian Si Φ Bone Rot Amine to judge Mo Sang? To bear the burden of whispering? Call? Shu Shu Shu!
Chu Li heaved a sigh of relief and closed fist saluted. "Thank you, Elder Zhao."
The black-robed old man said, "It's not easy outside the hall either. You have to hold on."
For the Outer Mausoleum Protectors, the Inner Mausoleum Rotation was a tough job. It would be fine if they could persevere, but if they could not, their martial arts would be completely destroyed and they would eventually become useless. Therefore, every rotation was dangerous and related to their fate.
He had no choice but to ask Chu Li to guard Chong Wen Hall. He had checked the cultivation levels of the four of them, and Chu Li's was the strongest, so he could only be chosen.
Chu Li sighed. "I'll try my best!"
"If you can hold on, this old man will give you some benefits." The black-clothed old man chuckled.
Chu Li immediately perked up. "What benefits did Sir Zhao give me?"
"I'll give you two jars of wine." The black-robed elder chuckled. "I know that you're addicted to alcohol. This is a gift from the Imperial House to the Inner Mausoleum. Outsiders can't drink it!"
"Thank you, Elder Zhao!" Chu Li revealed a drooling expression as he cupped his fists and thanked him sincerely.
The black-robed old man smiled and said, "Stand guard here. Don't go in."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded solemnly.
He knew that there were masters in the house. Chong Wen Hall's security was the tightest. It was not only on the periphery, but also inside the hall. He could not force his way in.
He did not have the Omniscient Mirror, so he could not hear or see clearly. His hands and feet were tied, and he did not know what masters were in the hall or what the indestructible golden body looked like.
However, waves of mountainous and ocean-like aura surged over and kept pressing on him. He felt like he was in a raging wave or carrying a mountain. It was heavy and difficult. His body seemed to be creaking as his bones were about to be crushed and his flesh was about to be crushed.
He activated the Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture. The giant Buddha's halo in the void of his mind rotated behind his head. The snow-white halo flickered continuously. He felt refreshed and relaxed. He no longer felt dizzy and dizzy, but it was still uncomfortable.
He carefully observed his body and sensed the aura. Was it an illusion or was it real? Did it directly affect his spirit, or was it an intangible aura like the Heavenly Demonic Power?
He used the Omniscient Mirror to observe the situation in his body and realized that it did not only affect his spirit, but it was a real aura. It was an intangible existence and was somewhat similar to the Heavenly Demonic Energy on Fu Qingya.
After the aura invaded his body, he felt like he was being pressed. He felt the weight and power acting on his spirit at the same time. Those with a weaker cultivation level would be quickly defeated. Their spirit and body would collapse at the same time, so their martial arts would be greatly weakened.
He shook his head and sighed. It seemed that the attack he saw from the Emperor was not the Emperor's full strength. It was just the tip of the iceberg. He still had a long way to go if he wanted to escape from the Emperor.
Other things aside, this aura alone was enough to make him feel helpless.
Even with the Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture, he could not get close to Chong Wen Hall. He could only stand far away. Moreover, his body was in excruciating pain. He had to circulate his inner energy desperately to withstand it. He did not know how long he could last.
His inner energy had been weakened to less than one-tenth of its original power. It was very difficult for him to resist the invasion of the invisible aura. He kept retreating and probably could not last for more than two hours.
The Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture could resist the aura's invasion on his spirit, but it could not do anything to his body. The Heavenly Demonic Power and many other martial arts were suppressed and could not withstand a single blow from it.
He had an idea and activated the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique. If he could devour this aura, the Heavenly Demonic Orb would be greatly nourished and might even improve.
He activated the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique but it was useless.
The Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique could not devour this aura. It was strange. It was as soft as spring water and as thin as a veil, yet it was unpredictable. The Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique could not capture its existence.
Chu Li's mind raced as he searched for other ways to restrain it. If this went on, he would soon be defeated. His martial arts would be greatly weakened, and even the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture would not be able to recover.
Suddenly, the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture moved. The unpredictable aura that had entered his body became docile in front of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture and was easily converted into his inner energy. It flowed along the heart technique of the Cloud Slashing Power and finally turned into the inner energy of the Cloud Slashing Power.
This inner force was not suppressed by the bronze gate and the tactical formation. It gurgled and moved like a pearl. It was not a big deal in the outside world. It was just a little purer, but it was really not vigorous. But here, its power was amazing. He suddenly had a strong impulse to rush into the hall to see what the Golden Body looked like.
The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture circulated faster and faster, and the conversion of this aura became smoother and smoother. His Cloud Slashing Power's inner energy kept increasing.
His confidence soared. It seemed like he could stand his ground and hold on for a day!
After he calmed down, he stood where he was and thought about how he could enter the inner part of Chong Wen Hall and see the Immortal Golden Body. He could not even see the golden body, let alone obtain the Enlightened Master's energy. The first step to obtain the Enlightened Master's energy was to enter the hall.
