"Who is this young man?" Of the two grey-robed elders, one had white eyebrows and a ruddy face like a baby while the other had a yellowish and sickly face. Their gazes were like cold lightning as they scanned his body.
"Judging from his heart technique, he's a disciple of the pavilion. His cultivation level is still low." The yellowish elder stroked his beard and seemed to be deep in thought.
"The disciples nowadays are getting worse with each generation!" The elder with white hair and a youthful face scoffed. "All of them are getting bolder and bolder."
Chu Li could not move his body and his eyes could not look elsewhere. However, the Omniscient Mirror was staring at the two spirit herbs. The spiritual energy from the Life and Death Scripture had already seeped into them. In just a short while, the two spirit herbs had been contaminated by the spiritual energy and showed signs of withering. However, people who were not as sensitive to spirit herbs and spiritual energy as Chu Li could not feel it.
Chu Li wanted to use the Life and Death Scripture to turn the two Soaring Grass into a dead state.
No matter how precious they were, they were useless once they were dead. They would probably be disposed of and thrown aside. Chu Li could use them to locate him and use God's Limbs to steal them.
Even if the two dead stalks of Ascension Grass went missing, no one would care, and they wouldn't attract the attention of the Secret Pavilion. They would silently steal these two stalks of Ascension Grass and then use the Life and Death Scripture to rapidly grow the Ascension Grass.
He could imagine getting the Soaring Grass and planting it. With the help of his Life and Death Scripture, it would grow quickly and mature quickly. Then, he would refine it into a Soaring Pill to continuously increase his cultivation level and surpass Sun Mingyue. He could not help but smile when he thought of this.
This hint of a smile was caught by the two old men.
They were staring at Chu Li without blinking, trying to see through his thoughts.
Although his acupuncture points were sealed and he could not move, his smile was hidden in his eyes. When the two elders saw it, they were furious.
"Bastard, you dare to break into the forbidden area and you can still smile!" The sickly elder scoffed and glared at Chu Li. "Who are you!"
Chu Li's lips twitched but he could not move or open his mouth.
The elder with white hair and a youthful face patted his back.
Chu Li's body immediately relaxed and he could open his mouth. He hurriedly said, "Disciple Xu Hun greets Master's Uncles."
"You're a disciple of the pavilion?"
"This disciple has just entered the sect and is ranked last."
"How dare you! Don't you know that this is a forbidden area?" The white-haired elder snorted. He had the intention of exonerating him.
"… Yes." Chu Li hesitated for a moment before saying, "I know it's a forbidden area."
"You know it's a forbidden area, yet you still dare to come in!" The white-haired, youthful-looking old man snapped, "What do you want?"
Chu Li said, "I'm just curious about what's inside the forbidden area, so I wanted to come and take a look."
"Then do you know the punishment for entering the forbidden area?" The yellow-faced old man stared at him coldly and said, "Don't tell me you don't know?"
Chu Li nodded. "I know. Face the wall."
"Very good. Face the wall for a year." The yellow-faced old man said in a deep voice, "Are you convinced?"
"Yes," Chu Li replied.
The white-haired old man said in a bad mood, "Brat, you are willing to face the wall for a year just to satisfy your curiosity?"
Chu Li nodded. "To be able to experience the forbidden area, it's worth it to face the wall for a year."
"Hehe …" The white-haired, youthful-looking old man laughed and shook his head. "You're an interesting brat. Is it better to say that you're smart or stupid?"
Chu Li looked embarrassed. "Master's Junior Masters, please forgive me. I had no choice!"
"Oh —? Who forced you! "The two old men's faces instantly darkened.
Chu Li said, "If I can't see what the forbidden area looks like, my heart will itch unbearably. I'll be restless and restless. Instead of that, I'll face the wall for a year and enter the forbidden area to have a look. I'll feel more at ease while facing the wall."
"Hehe …" The white-haired, youthful-looking old man laughed. "There are many people with such tempers. Some are serious while others are mild. It seems like yours is the serious one! … Alright, you have to be prepared. It's not easy to face the wall. It's winter now! "
"Yes," Chu Li agreed calmly.
"Let's go to God Eye Peak," the yellow-faced old man said in a deep voice.
The white-haired, youthful-looking old man's expression changed. He hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Li, isn't that too cruel?"
"It's his fault for barging in here." The yellow-faced old man said coldly, "He's unlucky. There's nothing we can do."
"Sigh …" The white-haired, youthful-looking old man looked at Chu Li and shook his head with a sigh. "You're unlucky indeed. If you barge into other forbidden areas, the punishment won't be so severe. God Eye Peak is the most painful. I hope you can bear it."
Chu Li smiled. "As long as I don't die."
"If you can still be like this after a year, I'll respect you as a good man." The yellow-faced old man sneered.
Chu Li smiled.
"Good boy, you have a backbone. I like it!" The white-haired, youthful-looking old man chuckled.
It would be boring to stay here and guard the Soaring Grass for a long time. It would be fun to have such a reckless brat barge in.
However, the yellow-faced old man found it troublesome. He was used to peace and did not like to be disturbed. Thus, he carried Chu Li and glided away. They arrived at a forbidden area that was not dangerous. It was God Eye Peak.
The peak of God Eye Peak was a platform with a circumference of ten meters. It was like a horizontal mirror. Wind and frost had polished the round boulder until it was as smooth as a mirror. It seemed unstable and made people worry that they would slip if a gust of wind blew.
"This is where you'll face the wall. You can only leave the peak after a year." The yellow-faced old man said coldly, "If you use the Deva Shedding Technique to leave, you'll no longer be a disciple of the Prophecy Pavilion!"
He put Chu Li down and channeled inner energy into him, instantly unsealing Chu Li's acupuncture point.
"Master's Junior Li, face the wall. Where does the wall come from?" Chu Li asked as he moved his limbs.
He had made the right bet. If the two of them attacked and killed him, he would not be able to dodge in time. After all, he had dispersed his cultivation and only left a bit of the Heavenly Heart Technique's cultivation.
"Use the void as a wall! If you can understand this, you'll benefit immeasurably! " The yellow-faced old man said coldly, "There are strong winds at night and scorching sun during the day. It's rare to see such heat. Only when the Heavenly Heart Technique reaches the sixth level can you ignore it and no longer suffer from the cold and heat."
Chu Li fist saluted and said no more.
The yellow-faced old man suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving Chu Li alone.
Chu Li looked down at his surroundings. Everything was covered by fog and he could not see clearly. The Omniscient Mirror lost its effect again and was obstructed by the formation.
He could only see the endless mountains and the boundless sky.
The sun had set and twilight was rising.
A gust of evening wind blew, bringing with it a slight chill. However, the chill seemed to penetrate his treasured clothing and into his body. It went straight to his organs and slowed his blood flow.
Chu Li's expression changed.
The night wind was strange. The chill it contained was so pure that he could not bear it.
He suddenly recalled the situation in Yinyang Cave. It was similar to this.
His body was now more than twice as strong. Even if he dispersed most of his inner energy, leaving only the Heavenly Heart Technique's inner energy, it would not be that uncomfortable to enter Yinyang Cave. However, here, his body seemed to be defenseless.
He vaguely felt that his days would not be easy. It was only evening. Once midnight came, there was no telling how terrifying it would be.
