Even if his martial arts were crippled, he still had the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. Even if the void of his mind was severely damaged, he still had the Heavenly Demonic Stone. Even if he lost his life, he still had the Life and Death Scripture.
Since he had nothing to fear, he naturally wanted to take the risk.
Fortunately, his martial arts were not crippled, but he could not use his divine arts. The void of his mind was sealed once again. He did not know if it was broken or if he was temporarily injured, but he was not that worried. He took out the Demonic Stone Pillow and laid his head on it.
Cold air entered his mind, as if he had drunk a bowl of sour plum juice under the scorching sun.
The Heavenly Demonic Stone Pillow was placed on the back of his head. The other Heavenly Demonic Stone, which was used to perform the Demon Hunting Technique, was much smaller. He tied it with a knot and wore it around his neck, nourishing his spirit.
With the two superimposed, the effect was multiplied. He estimated that it wouldn't take long for him to recover.
He had seen the aura of the Heavenly Demon Statue, and it was not inferior to the might of an Enlightened God. Therefore, the power of an Enlightened God's attack might not be comparable to the Heavenly Demon Statue.
A moment later, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Zhao Xuan and Xu Zhenshan appeared in the waterside pavilion. Their faces were gloomy and their eyes were cold.
Chu Li stood up and gave a fist salute.
"Not bad, Little Lu, you've got guts!" Zhao Xuanbai's plump face seemed to be smiling, "You're pretty tough too!"
The skinny Xu Zhenshan stared at him coldly with a straight face.
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "I didn't expect the Indestructible Golden Body to be so powerful."
Xu Zhenshan said coldly, "Do you know that you've broken the rules of the Inner Mausoleum Protectors?!"
Chu Li asked, "What prohibition?"
"Xiao Hu didn't tell you?" Xu Zhenshan frowned.
Chu Li shook his head.
He knew that the situation was serious, and at this time, he could only grasp this point. Those who did not know were not guilty, and even if they were guilty, they would be pardoned.
Xu Zhenshan turned to look at Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "It's very likely that Little Hu still has a knot in his heart about Little Lu … Maybe he doesn't think that Little Lu would do this. This is no different from suicide."
"Yes." Xu Zhenshan nodded slowly and said, "If that's the case, then I'll make it clear to you. The Inner Mausoleum Protectors guard the Heavenly God's golden body to prevent anyone from breaking in and destroying it."
Chu Li interrupted him and asked in surprise, "There's someone who can destroy an Enlightened Master's golden body?"
"You think I can't?" Xu Zhenshan said coldly.
Chu Li pondered for a moment and slowly nodded. "Yes."
Zhao Xuan laughed, "Little Lu, if it were you, what would you do?"
"There are many ways." Chu Li said, "Like using hidden weapons or arrows directly. The Enlightened Master's aura can stop martial arts masters from approaching, but it can't stop hidden weapons from approaching, right?"
"Smart!" Zhao Xuan smiled and nodded.
Xu Zhenshan said coldly, "As an Inner Mausoleum Protector, one of the benefits is that you can study the power of an Enlightened Master up close. From there, you can understand the secrets of an Enlightened Master and enter the Enlightened Master's Boundary. Although you can't go out and do whatever you want, you can be free and unfettered. Or you can directly ascend to the Outland, transcend reincarnation, and obtain the longevity of a Deva."
There was another world above the Heaven Beyond Heaven, where celestials lived. They lived for tens of thousands of years, and even if they died, they could directly return to the Heaven Beyond Heaven. Ordinary people would enter the cycle of reincarnation after death, and might not even be able to live as humans in their next life.
Chu Li nodded.
Xu Zhenshan said, "But we Inner Mausoleum Protectors have one of the most fundamental and unbreakable prohibitions, which is not to touch the Enlightened Master's golden body. This is disrespectful to the late emperor, so those who touch the Enlightened Master's golden body are directly expelled from the Inner Mausoleum."
Chu Li was stunned. "Expelled from the Inner Mausoleum?"
"That's right!" Xu Zhenshan said in a low voice, "And you can never enter the Inner Mausoleum."
"I'm so wronged!" Chu Li smiled bitterly. "I didn't touch the Enlightened Master's golden body at all!"
Xu Zhenshan scoffed. "Fortunately, you didn't touch it!"
Chu Li suddenly let out a long sigh of relief, knowing that there was still room for change. He hurriedly said, "Elder Xu, what's the punishment?"
Xu Zhenshan said, "You're not allowed to enter the Inner Mausoleum for a year!"
Chu Li suddenly looked bitter.
He was secretly anxious. Not being able to enter the Inner Mausoleum for a year was really terrible.
Zhao Xuan smiled. "Young Lu, you haven't recovered from your injuries. You can recuperate now. This is both a punishment and a protection for you."
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "If I'm not allowed to enter the Inner Mausoleum for a year, I might as well be killed."
"Do you like the Inner Mausoleum that much?" Zhao Xuan smiled. "For most people, the Inner Mausoleum is a painful place."
Chu Li shook his head. "I have the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, which can remove the Enlightened Master's power. Moreover, the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture has advanced very quickly, and my cultivation level has increased greatly. This is a critical time, how can I not enter the Inner Mausoleum?"
"There's no other way. You've done something wrong." Zhao Xuan shook his head.
Chu Li coughed softly. "Actually, Elder Xu and Elder Zhao are mistaken."
"What mistake?" Zhao Xuan smiled. Xu Zhenshan looked at him.
Chu Li said, "I didn't want to touch the Enlightened Master's golden body. I just wanted to test the Enlightened Master's power. I had no intention of touching the Enlightened Master's golden body."
"Hmm —?" Zhao Xuan was stunned and looked at Xu Zhenshan.
Xu Zhenshan frowned.
Chu Li hurriedly said, "Of course I know I can't touch the golden body. I'm just trying to see how far I can go. I didn't expect the golden body's power to be so powerful. I can't go any further than thirty feet. I heard that Elder Xu can go ten feet away from the Enlightened Master's golden body. He's the first person in the Inner Mausoleum."
"Not bad, young man. You know this." Zhao Xuan smiled.
Chu Li said, "Of course I can't compare to Elder Xu's five hundred years of cultivation, so I wanted to see how close I could get."
"Really?" Zhao Xuan asked deliberately.
He turned to look at Xu Zhenshan. "Young Lu is really naughty. He's a young man indeed, quick-witted and lively."
Xu Zhenshan scoffed.
Both he and Zhao Xuan knew that Chu Li was talking nonsense.
However, such a statement could be justified without any flaws.
The most important thing was that he really did not touch the Enlightened Master's golden body, so he did not violate the prohibition.
Zhao Xuan smiled. "Look at how badly injured Young Lu is. He probably won't recover in a month or two. It's the price of being naughty. Why don't we just forget about it. His injuries are already punishment."
Chu Li hurriedly fist saluted and said seriously, "Elder Xu, I'll restrain myself in the future."
"Don't." Zhao Xuan grinned. "The Inner Mausoleum is getting boring. It's rare to see someone as lively as you!"
He looked at Xu Zhenshan. "Isn't that right, Elder Xu?"
Xu Zhenshan frowned at Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled at Xu Zhenshan. The punishment was indeed up to Xu Zhenshan. If he did not touch the Enlightened Master's golden body, he would have to be punished according to his motive. He could say anything he wanted.
"… This matter needs to be discussed with everyone," Xu Zhenshan said in a low voice.
"Elder Xu, what's there to discuss? You can decide on such a small matter." Zhao Xuan grinned. "It's not a big deal. No one will have any objections."
"… Alright." Xu Zhenshan shook his head. "Only this once. If there's a next time, there's really no way to make an exception!"
"Thank you, Elder Xu!" Chu Li was overjoyed.
Xu Zhenshan said, "The next time you encounter the golden body, don't say you don't know. It's useless even if you don't know."
"Yes." Chu Li solemnly fist saluted.
