"Pfft!" Monk Zhi Shan spat out a mouthful of blood as his expression changed drastically.
Even though Monk Zhi Shan had eliminated most of the palm energy, the remaining palm energy was still enough to severely injure Monk Zhi Shan.
The Dantian was the most vulnerable position, so half of Chu Li's palm force was enough to severely injure him.
Monk Zhi Shan's original injuries were almost healed. The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture healed injuries at an unimaginable speed. With the rotation of Yin and Yang and the reversal of positive and negative, he quickly recovered from his injuries.
The moment Chu Li was blocked by the disciples of Hai Cang Mountain and Royal Blade Palace, his killing intent surged. Without holding back, he sped up his body movement technique and increased his palm energy. Monk Zhi Shan could not block him.
"Stop!" Hu Jianxin roared and brandished his saber.
Nie Hua's delicate face was also covered with a layer of frost. His gaze was cold and murderous, and his sword flashed towards Chu Li like lightning.
They were also top-notch geniuses in their sects and had always had a smooth sailing life. Even though they were not as good as Monk Zhi Shan, they were still confident and arrogant. Now, they could only watch helplessly as Chu Li injured Monk Zhi Shan. This feeling of helplessness made them extremely furious.
In a flash, Chu Li disappeared in front of the two and reappeared behind Monk Zhi Shan. Then, he slapped Monk Zhi Shan's back.
"Pfft!" Monk Zhi Shan spat out another mouthful of blood and smiled bitterly.
Chu Li's palm strike had almost destroyed Monk Zhi Shan's inner energy. Monk Zhi Shan wanted to circulate the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, but he could not circulate his inner energy. His martial arts had been mostly crippled. He wanted to retaliate, but he was powerless.
"Ahhhhh!" Hu Jian roared in anger. He was so depressed that he wanted to go crazy.
Their blades flashed like lightning, and their swords flashed like stars. Unfortunately, Chu Li was like a gentle breeze. No matter how fast their blades and swords were, they could not touch Chu Li, which made them even angrier and more pained.
Monk Zhi Shan began to activate his secret skill.
"Pop!" Chu Li struck his Dantian with his palm again, directly interrupting his secret skill. This time, his cultivation level was completely destroyed.
Monk Zhi Shan's expression changed slightly. He heaved a long sigh of relief and shook his head, no longer resisting. He said calmly, "Alright, you win. Priest Zhao, how are you going to deal with me?"
Chu Li said, "What do you think?"
Monk Zhi Shan smiled. "Looks like I'm going to die today!"
"It's good that you know!" Chu Li nodded.
As he spoke to Monk Zhi Shan, he dodged Nie Hua and Hu Jianxin's swords and blades. Although their swords and blades were sharp, they could not touch Chu Li at all. Chu Li was calm as he dodged the attacks nonchalantly.
"Forget it. If that's the case, then give me a quick death." Monk Zhi Shan pressed his palms together calmly.
Chu Li said, "You can't die yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Monk Zhi Shan and turned into a shadow, disappearing from Nie Hua and Hu Jianxin's sight.
The two of them hurriedly chased after him, but after a dozen or so li, he disappeared.
After the two of them stopped, their faces were extremely gloomy. They were angry and fearful at the same time. If Monk Zhi Shan was like this in front of him, they would be no match for him!
Chu Li and Monk Zhi Shan appeared in a pine forest.
The breeze was gentle, and the pine forest was whistling.
"Holy Protector Zhao, what do you want? Tell me." Monk Zhi Shan seemed to have suddenly understood the meaning of life and death. He said calmly, "If it's the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, there's no need to waste your efforts."
Chu Li said, "I want to know about your Wheel Pagoda!"
"There's a Wheel Pagoda in the Reincarnation Temple. The cycle of life and death is similar to it. Haha, it's impossible for you to enter the Wheel Pagoda. Just give up!" Monk Zhi Shan suddenly laughed and shook his head. "Even a disciple of the Reincarnation Temple might not have the opportunity to enter the Wheel Pagoda!"
Chu Li scoffed. "What's the situation in the pagoda?"
Monk Zhi Shan had already been crippled of his martial arts, so he could not unleash the power of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. Hence, his mind had lost its barrier, and Chu Li could clearly see the situation of the Wheel Pagoda in Monk Zhi Shan's mind as soon as he finished speaking.
Chu Li squinted his eyes and carefully felt the energy of the Wheel Pagoda.
It was as if he had turned into Monk Zhi Shan and entered the Wheel Pagoda. He saw murals one after another. On the walls were pictures of the reincarnation of the Devas and the Six Paths of Reincarnation. They were lifelike and emitted a strange energy.
Chu Li stared at the murals while feeling the energy emitted by the murals and comprehending the essence of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. Time passed quickly. He closed his eyes and sat on the ground as if he had fallen asleep.
Monk Zhi Shan was also immersed in the Wheel Pagoda.
When he recalled the Wheel Pagoda now, it felt completely different from before. He had a clearer perception of the world and a deeper understanding of the essence of reincarnation.
Everything in the world was in the cycle of reincarnation. Even something as hard as a rock could not withstand the vicissitudes of time and would turn into powder. Humans were in the cycle of reincarnation, and the only way to transcend reincarnation was to see through reincarnation before cultivating.
The scripture of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture flowed in his heart and harmonized with the realization in his mind. Unknowingly, his body was once again filled with a warm energy that flowed along his meridians and ended at his Dantian.
When this energy entered his Dantian, it was as if a dry and cracked field had met with rain and recovered rapidly. The inner energy that he had lost was restored in the blink of an eye and was even stronger than before.
"Haha … Haha …" He suddenly threw his head back and laughed.
He did not expect this to be a blessing in disguise. Because his martial arts was crippled by Chu Li and he was on the brink of death, he finally let go of life and death and achieved enlightenment. He did not expect to advance the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture to another level.
In an instant, his martial arts had recovered from nothing, and his cultivation had advanced by another level.
Previously, he was not as good as Chu Li, but now that his martial arts had improved, he was not weaker than Chu Li. His life was saved, so how could he not be happy about the feeling of narrowly escaping death!
Chu Li slowly opened his eyes, and the gleam in his eyes slowly faded away.
His mind had always been attached to Monk Zhi Shan and their senses were connected. He could empathize with Monk Zhi Shan's realization, so his Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture improved by two levels in an instant.
Compared to Monk Zhi Shan, he had gained more.
He smiled. "Congratulations, Monk Zhi Shan, your martial arts have been restored!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he hit Monk Zhi Shan's lower abdomen with his palm and crippled his martial arts once again.
Monk Zhi Shan's smile froze as he widened his eyes in disbelief.
Chu Li smiled. "Your martial arts have been restored and mine have improved greatly too. It's a pity that I still have to send you to the Grandmaster's Boundary!"
Monk Zhi Shan frowned and looked at him in confusion. "How is that possible! How did you improve as well? "
Chu Li replied, "I obtained two strands of Buddha beads and was enlightened by sensing the energy from them."
As he spoke, he took out two strands of Buddha beads and shook them before putting them back into his pocket.
Monk Zhi Shan frowned. "These are the Reincarnation Temple's Buddha beads!"
Chu Li smiled. "Yes."
"You actually have our Buddha beads …" Monk Zhi Shan shook his head. "However, it's unprecedented for you to be able to comprehend the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture from the Buddha beads!"
"Looks like I'm in luck." Chu Li smiled. "Monk Zhi Shan, do you think someone will save you?"
Of course, he could tell that Monk Zhi Shan was trying to stall for time. He was waiting for a chance to survive, but he was not going to give Monk Zhi Shan another chance. He did not see if the Buddha beads in Monk Zhi Shan's mind could help him comprehend martial arts, so there was no value in keeping them.
Monk Zhi Shan let out a sigh. "I've finally woken up from my dream. Come on!"
Chu Li suddenly swung his blade.
The cold gleam penetrated Monk Zhi Shan's head and he died instantly.
