He ran back to the Great Light Peak in one breath. When he arrived outside the Divine Light Basilica, Du Ying was on duty. She was dressed in a green robe and stood there gracefully. When she saw him, her expression changed slightly and her eyes flickered. In the end, she sighed faintly and bowed gracefully before entering the basilica to report.
After a while, she returned. "Junior Brother Zhao, please come in."
Chu Li fist saluted and strode into the basilica.
Sun Mingyue was dressed in a snow-white gown. There was no white veil on her face, and her beautiful face was covered with frost. She sat behind the table and said coldly, "What is it now? If it's about the Prophecy Pavilion, don't say anything! "
Chu Li weighed the box in his hand. "Saint, don't you want to know what's inside?"
"Tell me." Sun Mingyue frowned.
Chu Li said, "This is the severed head of an elder from the Prophecy Pavilion."
"You killed an elder from the Prophecy Pavilion?" Sun Mingyue frowned at him.
Chu Li nodded slowly with a proud expression. "Yes, I snuck into the Prophecy Pavilion and killed an elder. Saint, you can have a look!"
He tossed the box lightly.
The purple lacquer box with the severed head floated to Sun Mingyue and landed on the table.
Sun Mingyue glanced at him and reached out to open the purple lacquer box. A severed head appeared in front of her. The face was lifelike, but it still revealed an expression of unwillingness and anger. The severed head exuded an eerie chill.
Chu Li had been using his inner energy to freeze the severed head so that Sun Mingyue could have a look and claim credit.
He knew that Sun Mingyue had been suppressing him, preventing him from rising up and giving him a chance to gain credit. However, he insisted on doing so and went against her.
If he could become a Priest and reveal his identity, the Holy Church of Light would become a joke. Sun Mingyue would become a joke too. Her reputation as a Magic Eye would be ruined. Just thinking about it made him feel better.
Chu Li said, "This guy is Liang Sheng, an elder from the Prophecy Pavilion. Isn't this a big enough credit?"
"What are you trying to say?" Sun Mingyue scoffed, her eyes flashing. "You want to be promoted?"
"I've been a Branch Leader for quite some time. It's time for me to be promoted." Chu Li nodded calmly.
Sun Mingyue scoffed. "I'm quite thick-skinned!"
Chu Li said, "Rewards and punishments, merits and demerits. What's there to be embarrassed about? What's mine is mine."
"If he really is an elder of the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries, then killing him is indeed enough merit for you to become a Patrol Envoy," Sun Mingyue said indifferently. "Fine. You want to become a Patrol Envoy?"
Chu Li said, "I want to be a Priest."
"How ambitious!" Sun Mingyue snorted coldly and said, "You want to be a Law Emperor? Sure, kill the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, and the position of Law Emperor will be yours."
Chu Li frowned and said, "Saint, that can't be right. Which Priest can kill the pavilion leader of the Prophecy Pavilion? Let alone the Pavilion Master, our Law Emperors wouldn't even be able to kill any of the elders! "
"Are you saying that you're stronger than Dharmaraja?"
"Of course!" Chu Li puffed out his chest without hesitation. "I feel that my current cultivation level is stronger than theirs!"
"Of course, martial arts is one aspect, but there's also the contribution you made. You haven't made enough contributions," Sun Mingyue said.
She could tell that Chu Li's cultivation level was indeed higher than the Four Great Priests. This was the result of his isolated cultivation, and it was undeniable.
Chu Li scoffed and said, "Saint, don't try to fool me. The Prophecy Pavilion's strength is comparable to the eight major sects. Killing one of their elders is enough for you to become a Priest!"
Sun Mingyue shook her head and said, "The Priests won't agree to it."
Chu Li frowned and said, "Do I need their approval?"
"Of course," Sun Mingyue said. "You have to convince them in order to fill the Priest's position."
Chu Li scoffed and shook his head. "Saint, you're just trying to make things difficult for me."
"It's good that you understand." Sun Mingyue said impatiently, "Tell me, how did you kill this elder?"
She was certain that Chu Li would not lie to her. This Liang Sheng must be an elder of the Prophecy Pavilion.
She was extremely surprised. Being able to kill an elder of the Prophecy Pavilion, logically speaking, he was qualified to be promoted to a Priest.
An elder of the Prophecy Pavilion was equivalent to a Priest of the Holy Church of Light. Since Priest He died in the hands of the Prophecy Pavilion, Zhao Dahe killed an elder. Not only did he avenge Priest He, but he also boosted the morale of the Holy Church of Light. With such an outstanding contribution, he could be promoted to a Priest, but it was not unquestionable.
However, she wanted to suppress Chu Li, so she found an excuse to lower his contribution.
Chu Li said, "I snuck into the Prophecy Pavilion and assassinated him."
"You snuck in?" Sun Mingyue frowned and was doubtful.
Chu Li said proudly, "I killed Ding Ruijie from the Prophecy Pavilion and obtained the secret manual. The Saint knows about it too."
"Yes, the Heavenly Heart Technique and the Heaven Peering Skill." Sun Mingyue nodded.
He had presented the secret manual to her back then.
Chu Li smiled and said, "I secretly cultivated the Heavenly Heart Technique and I'm already at the beginner level."
Sun Mingyue frowned and glared at him. "The Great Light Scripture is enough for you to cultivate. Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew!"
Chu Li said, "After I cultivated the Heavenly Heart Technique and entered the Cloud Dream Mountain, the Prophecy Pavilion's formation no longer blocked me. I could sneak in directly, so I secretly killed Liang Sheng. I'm really lucky!"
"You secretly went to the Cloud Dream Mountain!" Sun Mingyue scoffed. "Didn't I ask you to return to Gale Branch?"
"I returned to Gale Branch first before going to the Cloud Dream Mountain. I didn't disobey the Saint's order." Chu Li smiled proudly.
Sun Mingyue glared at him coldly. "How dare you sneak into the Prophecy Pavilion alone. Aren't you afraid that they'll find out and take your life?"
Chu Li said, "I've heard something."
"Speak!" Sun Mingyue scoffed.
Chu Li said, "The Prophecy Pavilion can no longer predict the fates of those who have cultivated the Heavenly Heart Technique, so they won't know that I've sneaked in and didn't notice me. … Saint, I can become a Priest just because of this information!"
"Shut up." Sun Mingyue waved her hand and frowned.
Chu Li shut his mouth and looked at her resentfully.
Sun Mingyue said, "Are you saying that we should let everyone cultivate the Heavenly Heart Technique?"
Chu Li nodded. "It'll be fine as long as they can cultivate it. The Heavenly Heart Technique is the fundamental heart technique of the Prophecy Pavilion and it has its own unique features."
"We can give it a try." Sun Mingyue pondered. "But it's too late now."
Chu Li said, "We can give it a try in the future."
Sun Mingyue glanced at him and said, "Stay at the Great Light Peak for a while. Don't go back."
Chu Li was stunned and quickly said, "I still need to sneak back into the Prophecy Pavilion."
"There's no need for that." Sun Mingyue scoffed. "They've probably started fighting now. The Asuras can break their formation!"
The Asuras had a strange physique. A hundred of them were enough to destroy the Prophecy Pavilion.
This time, all the Asuras were mobilized not only to destroy the Prophecy Pavilion but also to show the Fu Dynasty that the Holy Church of Light was not a pushover. The Asuras were not something they could bully at will.
The Asuras were the seeds of the Outland. Their bodies were connected to the Outland. No matter how powerful the Prophecy Pavilion was, they would not be able to predict the existence and whereabouts of the Asuras. They could not restrain the Asuras either. The Asuras happened to restrain the Prophecy Pavilion.
It was because she had this confidence that she pressured Chu Li and did not let him make a contribution.
Otherwise, even if she wanted to suppress Chu Li, she would not have acted so carelessly at this time.
Chu Li frowned. "Are the Asuras that powerful?"
"Let's wait and see," Sun Mingyue said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Du Ying's voice came from outside. "Saint, there's news!"
"Bring it here," Sun Mingyue said.
Du Ying came in lightly and handed over a bamboo tube.
Sun Mingyue took it and opened the wax seal. Then, she took out the rolled up letter and glanced at it. Her face instantly turned cold and her eyes flashed with anger. She slowly put down the letter.
