It turned out that Li Xinghe was not confident that he would succeed this time. Instead, he was just testing the Divine Blood Church.
His expression did not change, but he was secretly frowning. The way the Stargazing Pavilion handled things was really bold. The Church of the Divine Blood had just barged in without fear. Could it be that they had something up their sleeves?
What he was even more puzzled about was why the Stargazing Pavilion had done this. Were they not afraid that the Tianji Pavilion and the Plain Maiden Palace would turn against each other?
It would be fine if they really had a chance to obtain the secret manual, but they just had to make the two sects risk their lives for the sake of probing. This was no different from deceiving them. Were they not afraid that the two sects would secretly join hands to deal with them?
Chu Li was puzzled, but he did not ask about it. He would find out in the future.
"Brother Zhao, how did you escape from Wei Wuwei's pursuit?" Li Xinghe was lying on the back of an old man. His face was pale and his voice was weak, but he looked at Chu Li with great interest. The people around him also looked at Chu Li curiously.
They all knew how powerful Wei Wuwei was. He was like a ghost or a god that could not be defeated. This Zhao Dahe was truly a powerful person. It was no wonder that the Stargazing Pavilion wanted him to help them.
Chu Li shook his head and said, "It's the Light-body Technique that the Saint taught me. I'm just running for my life. I'm no match for Wei Wuwei at all. This person's cultivation level is truly terrifying."
"This is a gift from the heavens. Others can't be envious." Li Xinghe said, "Many experts have died in his hands. You should be proud to be able to escape from him."
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "I almost lost my life."
"Brother Zhao, you don't have a short life. Don't worry." Li Xinghe smiled and said, "Your luck will be very good."
Chu Li smiled. "Could it be that Brother Zhao was the one who predicted it?"
"Of course." Li Xinghe nodded with certainty. "Senior Brother Zhao, your fate is extremely good. Your future is boundless."
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "My future is boundless … I'm already at the top now."
"That might not be the case." Li Xinghe smiled. "Don't you think our Fu Dynasty's martial world is more interesting and exciting?"
Chu Li said, "It's more dangerous."
Li Xinghe smiled and said, "It's precisely because of the danger that it's exciting. With your skills, it's truly a waste for you to stay in the Li Dynasty. It's really boring to meet a rare opponent, and it'll be hard for you to improve your martial arts."
Chu Li frowned and remained silent.
Li Xinghe said, "You won't be motivated without an opponent. Now that you've come to the Fu Dynasty, with Wei Wuwei around, why aren't you working hard?"
Chu Li sighed and shook his head. "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Brother Li. I'm indebted to the Saint, so I can't leave."
"Alright, take your time to think about it." Li Xinghe smiled and said, "You should know that the path of martial arts is as vast as the ocean. It'll be hard for you to achieve anything great if you stay in the Great Li."
Chu Li remained silent.
Seeing that Chu Li was not tempted, Li Xinghe sighed inwardly.
This was probably the power of a beauty. The Saint of the Holy Church of Light had an unparalleled beauty, so it was inevitable for Zhao Dahe to be infatuated with her. It seemed like he would have to use something good to tempt him.

The Divine Light Basilica was brightly lit. Chu Li sat on the armchair and talked to Sun Mingyue, who was opposite him.
Sun Mingyue was dressed in a robe as white as snow. Her white veil had been removed, revealing her beautiful face. She was sitting in the armchair opposite Chu Li. Her bright eyes were fixed on him as she listened to his narration attentively. Her bright eyes sparkled from time to time.
Being stared at by her bright eyes, Chu Li's heart beat faster. Xiao Qi's face flashed in his mind as he suppressed his inexplicable thoughts.
"Wei Wuwei …" Sun Mingyue frowned and muttered, "It seems like he's really powerful."
Chu Li slowly said, "You must be careful if you encounter him, Saint. His martial arts is truly unfathomable. If it wasn't for the Divine Void Light Technique, I definitely wouldn't have been able to escape."
Sun Mingyue said, "That roar of his must be the Blood Howl. He condenses his blood essence into his voice, making it ferocious and overbearing. You were lucky to escape when you weren't on guard. Run the next time you see him."
Chu Li replied, "I'll have to try."
"As far as I know, the Church of the Divine Blood's inheritance has its own mystery. That's why he has such a profound skill. Once the Bloody Garment Divine Power is cultivated to perfection, one's control over one's blood essence is astonishing. One can even manipulate one's opponent's blood essence. It's truly miraculous. "Sun Mingyue shook her head and said," It seems like he hasn't perfected it. Otherwise, you'd really be dead. He's a person who views human life as worthless. Don't think that you'll be lucky. "
Chu Li frowned and nodded.
Sun Mingyue sighed. "It's really troublesome this time. We've provoked Wei Wuwei. He'll come for us sooner or later."
"We'll deal with it when the time comes." Chu Li said, "I'll have to go into isolated cultivation again."
"Yes, you have to cultivate in isolation." Sun Mingyue nodded. "Otherwise, you'll see that Wei Wuwei is defenseless. Moreover, you should cultivate the last part of the Great Light Scripture."
Chu Li said, "I'm going to the Stargazing Pavilion to pick some treasures tomorrow. I wonder what I should pick."
Sun Mingyue was more knowledgeable. She might know what treasures were in the Stargazing Pavilion.
Sun Mingyue muttered, "Everything in the Stargazing Pavilion is good stuff. Just pick one that you like. It won't be too bad."
Chu Li nodded.
Sun Mingyue said, "Go ahead. You can rest there for a while. The Star Chart is full of mysteries. Be thick-skinned and look at it for a few days. They'll agree on account of your hard work."
Chu Li fist saluted and suddenly disappeared. He cast the Divine Void Light Technique and left the Great Light Peak.

Li Xinghe had mostly recovered after one night. His complexion was rosy again. He went to the cave Chu Li was in early morning and brought him to another cave.
"This is the treasure cave." Li Xinghe pointed at the low cave in front of him and said with a smile, "The rare items that we've picked up are stored here. They're all valuable items. Some of them might look like ordinary stones but they're actually rare stones. It'll depend on your eyesight and luck if you haven't been recognized by the others."
Chu Li nodded.
Li Xinghe reached out and patted the mossy wall beside the cave a few times. Then, with a muffled rumble, the stone door opened. Li Xinghe went in first and Chu Li followed him into the cave.
There were luminous pearls embedded in the cave, illuminating it brightly and gently.
After walking more than ten steps, shelves began to be placed on both sides of the passage. There were shelves on both sides of the passage, each with oddly-shaped items on them. There were stones, branches, weapons, and remnants of scrolls. However, the words on the scrolls were strange and did not look like modern writing.
Chu Li continued to walk in. The shelves on both sides of the passage were connected to each other. There were fruit pits, rings, daggers, short swords, long swords, armor, and even some strange weapons. There were even flowers and plants in pots.
He looked around as he walked. By the time he reached the end of the passage, he was already more than two hundred meters away.
Two hundred meters meant that there were more than four hundred meters of wooden shelves. There were all kinds of items and they were all-inclusive. Chu Li could not take his eyes off them, let alone pick a good one.
Li Xinghe looked proud when he saw Chu Li's expression. "Brother Zhao, although the items here are oddly-shaped, they're all good items. Otherwise, we wouldn't have kept them here."
Chu Li nodded.
"In my opinion, Brother Zhao, you can just pick any one of them." Li Xinghe smiled. "It'll be enough for you to smile until you wake up at home."
Chu Li shook his head and started walking again.
Finally, he stopped on a charcoal-like withered tree branch and frowned as if he was deep in thought.
"Why, Brother Zhao, are you interested in this piece of wood?" Li Xinghe smiled. "But this piece of wood does have some history."
Chu Li pretended to listen attentively.
