Chu Li returned to the Inner Mausoleum and went to a basilica in Jing Tian Pavilion. After greeting Hu Feixing, he stood still.
The monstrous aura kept pressing down on him, but he kept moving forward as if he was going against the current. Every step almost made him faint.
The Heavenly Demonic Stone hung on his chest. A steady stream of cool air nourished his mind and kept him awake.
The giant Buddha and the Heavenly Demon chanted desperately under the heavy pressure. Their speed was ten times faster than usual.
Lotuses of various colors merged into the giant Buddha and the Heavenly Demon, making them more solid and their soul energy stronger. Chu Li felt that this extreme state was the most suitable for cultivation.
However, without the Omniscient Mirror, he would not be able to maintain this state without such a clear mind. Wisps of cool air were used by the Omniscient Mirror to maintain the extreme state. He slowly took another step forward. The giant Buddha and the Heavenly Demon's speed increased to twenty times their usual speed.
Countless lotus flowers danced in the air, filling the entire space of his mind with lotus flowers. They landed on the giant Buddha and the Heavenly Demon, and the soul power grew stronger and stronger.
Hu Feixing's eyes widened in disbelief as Chu Li approached the Indestructible Golden Body. Sixty feet, fifty feet, forty feet, thirty feet, twenty feet.
When he was twenty feet away, he did not pass out. His body trembled but he did not fall.
Then, ten feet. Finally, he stood at the bottom of the steps.
Chu Li reached the bottom of the steps. It seemed like he had reached his limit.
Hu Feixing let out a long sigh. He did not know how to take another step forward. It was too fast. Lu Xuzhou seemed to have become a completely different person. Did his injuries increase his strength?
After ten minutes, Chu Li took a step up the steps.
"Wait!" Hu Feixing shouted.
Chu Li turned to look at him.
His eyes were bloodshot. He was being oppressed by an invisible force. He was trying his best not to fall. The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture was converting desperately. The inner energy of the Cloud Slashing Power was so pure that it pressured his meridians.
Hu Feixing said, "We Inner Mausoleum Protectors can't touch the golden body!"
Chu Li replied, "Of course."
"Then why are you going up the steps?" Hu Feixing asked.
Chu Li's voice was hoarse. "To see how close I can get!"
"Then be careful!" Hu Feixing scoffed. "Don't blame me for being merciless if you touch it."
Chu Li took a deep look at him and slowly took another step.
With every step he took, the pressure around him increased by a fraction. The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture protected his body while the giant Buddha and Heavenly Devil chanted the scripture in his mind with all their might, causing his soul to grow stronger by leaps and bounds.
He could feel that the strength of his soul did not only come from the four meridians and one mirror, but also from the power of the Heavenly Demonic Stone. The cool air of the Heavenly Demonic Stone could only replenish the loss of his soul, but it could not strengthen it. However, under such extreme conditions, it could strengthen his soul.
If it wasn't for the Heavenly Demonic Stone, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long no matter how powerful he was. His soul wouldn't have strengthened so quickly either. From the looks of it, the Heavenly Demonic Stone was indeed a mystical item. He had to obtain the Heavenly Demonic Sect's Heavenly Demon Statue!
The last time he was defeated by the Heavenly Demon Statue, his soul had improved tremendously after he woke up. This time, after being defeated by the Enlightened God's aura, his soul had also improved slightly after he woke up. However, it was still far from the damage he received from the Heavenly Demon Statue. It was most likely due to the Heavenly Demonic Stone.
The first step, the second step, the third step, the fourth step … Chu Li stopped at the ninth step. If he went any further, he would have to face the Enlightened Master's golden body.
He stood motionless on the ninth step. The energy of the Heavenly Demonic Stone desperately entered his mind and strengthened his soul. Suddenly, the Omniscient Mirror leaped out and could leave his body to observe the outside world.
The pressure here was far greater than the Outer Mausoleum. The formation and divine power suppression treasures were even more powerful. The fact that the Omniscient Mirror could leave his body showed how strong his soul was.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. A set of heart technique automatically appeared in his mind. It was passed down by the Heavenly Demon.
The extremely pure inner energy of the Cloud Slashing Power suddenly changed its route and circulated along the Heavenly Demon heart technique that he had just obtained.
Previously, he only inherited the Heavenly Demonic Orb and the Heavenly Demon Scripture, so he could only use the Devouring Technique to cultivate.
This set of heart technique was extremely mysterious. The inner energy that circulated along this heart technique could be absorbed into the Heavenly Demonic Orb to strengthen the cultivation of the Heavenly Demonic Power.
With this set of Heavenly Demonic Heart Technique, the Heavenly Demonic Orb changed from a picky eater to an omnivorous one.
Originally, it only devoured pure energy and did not care about anything less. Now, it could enter the Heavenly Demonic Orb through the cultivation of inner energy.
He was overjoyed.
With the Life and Death Scripture, he had no lack of inner energy. He could directly convert the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth into the inner energy of the Heavenly Demonic Heart Technique. Then, he could continuously replenish the Heavenly Demonic Orb. This way, the progress of the Heavenly Demonic Power would be extremely fast!
The inner energy that the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture converted into the Enlightened Master's might could also be directly converted into the inner energy of the Heavenly Demonic Heart Technique. This way, the advancement of the Heavenly Demonic Power would be extremely fast.
He was excited. After suffering for so long, he finally saw a glimmer of hope.

"You want to enter Chong Wen Hall?" Xu Zhenshan frowned at Chu Li.
Everyone was sitting in the basilica of the meeting room. When they heard Chu Li's words, they all looked at him.
Chu Li slowly said, "Yes, I want to see Chong Wen Hall."
It was the morning of the second day. They were assigning tasks when Chu Li interrupted and asked to be on duty in Chong Wen Hall. This surprised everyone.
"Do you know that you're courting death?" Xu Zhenshan scoffed.
Chu Li said, "I can already walk to the side of the late Second Emperor."
Xu Zhenshan looked at Hu Feixing.
Hu Feixing nodded reluctantly. "He reached the ninth step."
Everyone's gaze changed from ridicule to curiosity.
They had all climbed up from Jing Tian Pavilion step by step and knew how difficult the process was. They did not expect Chu Li to finish the journey that they had taken years to complete in just a few days.
Xu Zhenshan said, "Then you'll be on duty in the Third Emperor's Hall."
Chu Li said, "I want to see Chong Wen Hall first."
"… Alright, looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson." Xu Zhenshan finally agreed and said, "But you must be prepared to get hurt. I'm afraid you won't be able to recover in a year and a half!"
"It's alright," Chu Li said.
Everyone's gaze turned to ridicule again. It was as if they could already see Chu Li vomiting blood and flying out of Chong Wen Hall.
"The rest will be done according to the rules. Young Lu, come with me." Xu Zhenshan left the armchair.
"Yes." Chu Li fist saluted and followed Xu Zhenshan out of the meeting room to the front of Chong Wen Hall.
As soon as Xu Zhenshan opened the door, Chu Li felt a raging wave rushing at him like a flood that was about to blow him away.
His face was flushed red. The giant Buddha and the Heavenly Demon chanted mantras madly. The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture circulated with all their might and turned into inner energy that flowed along the Heavenly Demon's heart technique before entering the Heavenly Demonic Orb.
Xu Zhenshan looked at Chu Li who was standing still at the door with a faint smile. He wanted to see if Chu Li could step into the hall. This was only the first stage.
Judging from Chu Li's posture, he did not have much hope. The power at the door was worlds apart from the inside of the hall. Chu Li was already struggling at the door and could not enter at all.
Chu Li slowly took a step forward. It was as if he was carrying a mountain.
Xu Zhenshan entered without closing the door.
