The next morning, Song Wu came again with an apologetic look. "Junior Brother Xu, you only have seven days. You have to leave the peak after seven days. You can't delay any longer."
"Seven days is enough." Chu Li nodded.
He had gotten the hang of it and felt that he could break through at any time. Seven days was more than enough.
"It's a pity that I can't take the Sky Pill here." Song Wu shook her head and sighed. "How about this, come with me after we leave the peak."
"No way!" Chu Li shook his head. "I'm already very grateful, Senior Sister Song."
Song Wu stared at him. "Do you think it's embarrassing to rely on a woman for protection?"
Chu Li said, "Senior Sister Song has already helped me a lot. I can't trouble you anymore. I can handle it. Isn't the seventh level of the Heavenly Heart strong enough?"
"Hmm, that's true. The seventh level of the Heavenly Heart is enough." Song Wu nodded. "Show them your cultivation level when you leave the peak and let them back off."
The cultivation level of the seventh level of the Heavenly Heart was considered average in the Divine Design Pavilion. She was only at the eighth level and was already considered a genius who surpassed most of her peers.
Most of the disciples in this generation were at the sixth level. There were very few at the seventh level and even fewer at the eighth level.
The cultivation of the Heavenly Heart required time to accumulate. It was difficult to comprehend the world and the passage of time. It was difficult to achieve in a short period of time. The higher the cultivation, the more difficult it would be. It required the right state of mind, comprehension, and luck.
Even the disciples of the previous generation who were nearing the end of their lifespans had not perfected the ninth level.
Chu Li nodded and smiled.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. He naturally broke through to the seventh level.
After experiencing life and death several times, he understood the human heart. He had profound knowledge of astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry, and various space-time theories from his past life. These profound knowledge systems allowed him to understand the world far better than the people of this world. Thus, it was easy to cultivate the Heavenly Heart.
In the early morning, the bright sun shone on everything.
With Song Wu's help, he slowly descended the Divine Eye Peak and followed her step by step out of the forbidden area. They walked along a bluestone path towards their own courtyard.
Song Wu wore a black gown. Her skin was as white as snow and her face was like jade. She smiled. "Junior Brother Xu, let's go to the dining hall first."
"Alright." Chu Li nodded.
His body was circulating the Heaven Peering Technique's mental cultivation method. He couldn't wait to cultivate the Heaven Peering Technique.
He was extremely curious about the Heaven Peering Art. He didn't know what it would be like after mastering it, and what it would be like to peep into someone else's fate.
The Heaven Peering Art also had nine levels. He had not mastered the first level yet, so he could not use the Heaven Peering Art yet.
The two of them walked into the dining hall side by side, attracting many strange gazes.
Chu Li glanced at the crowd and said in a low voice, "Senior Sister Song, it seems that everyone knows that I'm facing the wall."
"Yes, everyone knows." Song Wu nodded.
She sighed to herself. Junior-apprentice Brother Xu used to be a loner. Everyone often neglected him. Even if they didn't see each other for a long time, no one would know that he was facing the wall. They would only think that he was hiding in his small courtyard and cultivating diligently. However, it was Junior-apprentice Brother Tan Gu who had a loose tongue and spread the news to everyone.
She said in a low voice, "Facing the wall is not a shameful thing. Everyone secretly admires you for being able to persist for three months."
Chu Li laughed.
Song Wu rolled her eyes at him and ordered a few dishes with him. They sat opposite each other and were surrounded by surprised gazes.
"Hehe, Junior-apprentice Sister Song, Junior-apprentice Brother Xu." Amidst the laughter, Tan Gu sat next to Chu Li and grinned at Song Wu. "Junior-apprentice Brother Xu has returned safely. Congratulations!"
Chu Li nodded and said, "Junior-apprentice Brother Tan."
He lowered his head and ate with a cold expression.
Tan Gu did not mind. He stared at Song Wu and smiled. "Junior-apprentice Sister Song is so familiar with Junior-apprentice Brother Xu?"
"Junior-apprentice Brother Xu is facing the wall. I was ordered to send him food." Song Wu replied coldly and continued eating. It was obvious that she did not want to talk to him.
Tan Gu did not mind. Junior-apprentice Brother Xu treated others like this. He laughed. "I see. Junior-apprentice Brother Xu is really lucky. This is called a blessing in disguise. No wonder he can persist."
With a beauty like Song Wu encouraging him from the side, if it was him, he would also be able to face the wall.
Chu Li lowered his head and ate without saying a word. Song Wu did the same.
Tan Gu laughed. "Junior-apprentice Brother Xu, your martial arts improved greatly after facing the wall, right?"
Chu Li shook his head. "It's not that easy. It's good enough that I can endure it."
After saying this, he continued to eat.
Song Wu looked up and glanced at him. She did not know what he was up to. Why did he not show off his skills and instead hid them?
The Sky Soaring Pills were going to be distributed soon. It was not good for him to do this.
Tan Gu smiled. "Junior-apprentice Brother Xu is really humble. His cultivation level has improved a lot."
He could feel that Chu Li's cultivation level had improved a lot but he did not care. Being able to endure facing the wall would more or less increase his cultivation level. However, it was wishful thinking to settle down and cultivate in God's Eye Peak. Even if his cultivation level increased, it would not be much.
He then pestered Song Wu to talk to him. Song Wu ignored him and Tan Gu did not mind.
"Junior-apprentice Brother Xu, are you full?" After Chu Li put down his bowl and chopsticks, Song Wu also put down her bowl and asked with concern, "Are you going back?"
"Yes." Chu Li nodded. "Junior-apprentice Sister Song, I can go back by myself."
"I will send you back." Song Wu shook her head.
"Alright then." Chu Li nodded and closed fist saluted at Tan Gu. "Junior-apprentice Brother Tan Gu, goodbye."
Tan Gu's face stiffened. He forced a smile and closed fist saluted.
His smile was extremely ugly as he stared at Chu Li and Song Wu as they left together.
He followed them out and stood on the steps outside the dining hall. He watched Chu Li and Song Wu chatting and laughing as they walked down the bluestone path until they returned to Chu Li's courtyard.
Tan Gu's face became gloomier. His eyes flashed coldly. His cheeks moved and his teeth were clenched.

Two days later, in the evening, Chu Li was cultivating the Heaven Peering Skill in his courtyard.
He had just returned. Everything in the Yi Public House was as usual. It was peaceful.
The martial arts sects in the Yi Public House were quiet. No one was causing trouble. It was very worrisome. The Yi Public House was also very peaceful.
He had been going back from time to time for the past three months. Nothing major had happened.
King An's Imperial Residence was also very peaceful. He announced to the public that he was in isolated cultivation. After that, King An's Imperial Residence was almost closed to the public. Siao Shi was busy cultivating the Heavenly Heart Technique and did not have time to socialize.
As for his incarnation of Zhao Dahe, he had been cultivating in isolation at the Great Light Peak. Sun Mingyue occasionally went over but did not disturb him.
He had set up an early warning formation outside the formation. Once someone approached, he would be able to sense it and rush back immediately.
He was secretly glad that this was a blessing from the heavens. It allowed him to calm down and cultivate hard. There would be a chance to settle the score with Sun Mingyue.
"Knock knock." Someone knocked on the door.
He went forward to open the door.
There were four people standing outside. Two of them were elders with white eyebrows and a handsome young man. The last one was Song Wu, who was dressed in black and had snow-white skin.
Chu Li closed fist saluted.
Song Wu said, "Junior Brother Xu, here's your pill."
Her slender hand handed over a small white jade bottle. It was the size of a thumb and glistened gently.
Chu Li received it with both hands. "Yes, thank you."
His expression was cold. He closed fist saluted the two elders and the handsome young man without saying much.
He did not know how to address these four people. After all, they were not the real Xu Hun.
Song Wu waved her hand. "Alright, you can go back to your work."
