For the next few days, the two of them focused on cultivation and ignored the Evil Nether Dragon. When they felt that their progress was slow, they would stop to take a break and chat about interesting things to relax.
In such an environment, Sun Mingyue seemed to let down her guard and told Chu Li about her own situation.
She was originally a descendant of the imperial family and was actually the daughter of the current Emperor, but she was never recognized by the imperial family. Her mother was an imperial concubine who passed away after giving birth to her, and she was adopted by her master at a young age.
Because her master was a Saint, she later inherited the position of bishop, so she could not marry. She treated her like her own daughter and took good care of her. She trained her meticulously and looked for Spirit Medicine from a young age to build a solid foundation for her.
That was why she could become the top master after receiving the Grandmaster's Empowerment. She was almost invincible in the Grandmaster's Boundary, and only Enlightened Masters could pose a threat to her.
She had been exposed to the affairs of the church since she was young. The complexity and intrigue of people's hearts had unknowingly given her the ability to see through people's hearts. From then on, her master was relieved to hand over the teaching affairs to her.
She had also done an outstanding job. With her outstanding martial arts skills and outstanding tactics, she could see through people's hearts. She managed the Holy Church of Light until it became more and more prosperous with each passing day, pressuring the other three sects to the point of suffocation.
Others saw that she seemed to be doing it with ease, but they did not know how hard it was for her. She had no friends and only had teaching affairs. The Great Light Peak was like a cage that imprisoned her, and there were always endless teaching affairs and files to deal with.
She had never enjoyed anything that other girls enjoyed. She only lived for the Holy Church of Light.
However, she never felt that there was anything wrong with it. Only this time, after being trapped here, she reflected on her life and suddenly felt that she was wronged. Her life was too short.
However, things often did not go according to one's wishes. She knew that she would return to her original life after leaving the valley and become the high and mighty Saint, or even bishop, and would be busy with teaching affairs for the rest of her life.
Chu Li secretly sighed and shook his head.
She was lonely at the top and had no friends. Outsiders thought that her glamorous life was actually very boring. Countless people envied her power, but it was difficult for them to sympathize with her pain.
The two of them faced each other with sincerity. Chu Li also shared his experiences. He grew up in the temple and had a profound cultivation of Buddhism. He could have become an eminent monk, but in the end, he felt that it was a waste to live like that. Thus, he decided to leave the temple and enter the House of High Dukes. He chased after the glory, splendor, wealth, and bustle of the world.
Now that he thought about it, his understanding of the Dharma was actually deeper, not inferior to cultivating in the temple.
"Your dharmic base is quite profound. Your willpower is even better than the old monk's." The two of them were sitting by the pool and talking. Sun Mingyue rolled her eyes at Chu Li.
She recalled the time when they first entered the valley. Both of them were poisoned by the Evil Nether Dragon and were burning with lust. Even under such circumstances, Chu Li was still able to calm his mind and was not affected by the lust.
Such determination was rarely seen in the world.
Now that he thought about it, it had only been slightly more than a month, but it felt like more than ten years ago.
If she really couldn't get out, living here was actually not bad. This thought flashed through Sun Mingyue's mind again, but she suppressed it again.
She vaguely guessed why she couldn't open the Nirvana Wheel all this time. At the end of the day, Chu Li's heart hadn't completely opened up. He had been resisting in his heart and had been guarding Xiao Qi tightly.
She knew that Chu Li liked her a little, but he couldn't compare to Xiao Qi. Only by suppressing Xiao Qi could their souls merge and reach the best cultivation state to achieve perfection.
Sun Mingyue had never pointed this out because she believed that Chu Li knew the reason.
However, knowing and doing it were two different things.
She couldn't force Chu Li, so she could only cultivate slowly. She believed that he would succeed one day, and she didn't want to force Chu Li either. Even if he didn't succeed, it was fine. Living here was not that difficult.
As time passed, the two of them improved by leaps and bounds.
It was noon today, and the sun shone directly into the pool. The bottom of the pool could be seen clearly, and the dark blue bead could be seen at a glance. It was as if it was emitting a misty light.
"It's about time." Chu Li smiled. "Let's lure the Evil Nether Dragon away first. I'll keep it occupied while you go down to get the bead."
"I'll keep it occupied while you go down." Sun Mingyue shook her head. "You're faster."
"… Alright." Chu Li nodded.
Sun Mingyue was more than enough to deal with the Evil Nether Dragon on land. Even if she couldn't defeat it, she could still hurt it. The Evil Nether Dragon wasn't a threat.
Chu Li and Sun Mingyue jumped into the water and shot toward the dark blue bead. When they were halfway there, the Evil Nether Dragon appeared.
The two of them were extremely fast, and the Evil Nether Dragon followed closely. Just as it was about to catch up, the two of them leaped into the air, landed on the ground, and turned to run.
The Evil Nether Dragon spat out a mouthful of water and returned to the pool.
The two of them landed in the pool from the air and rushed toward the dark blue bead again. The Evil Nether Dragon chased them again, but they ran again and returned to the outside of the pool. When the Evil Nether Dragon returned, they returned and escaped again.
After going back and forth three times, the Evil Nether Dragon was finally angered. Even when they were on land, it still chased them. Chu Li and Sun Mingyue split up, and the Evil Nether Dragon finally chased Sun Mingyue.
In its opinion, Sun Mingyue was more tender and delicious.
Chu Li waited for Sun Mingyue to lure it away. The pool was blocked by a patch of forest, and Chu Li quietly entered the pool. He did not make a sound and did not let the Evil Dark Dragon discover him. Then, he picked up the dark blue pearl as fast as he could.
When the bead the size of a longan entered his hand, he felt a bone-chilling coldness. It was as if his entire body was frozen.
Chu Li desperately activated his inner energy. After he could move, he desperately ran out. As soon as he reached the water, he ran into the roaring Evil Nether Dragon.
Chu Li turned into a shadow and met up with Sun Mingyue. They both entered the cave.
The Evil Nether Dragon blocked the cave entrance again. It roared and kept releasing poison into the cave.
Chu Li and Sun Mingyue ignored it. The Supreme Diamond Supreme Scripture could expel the poison from the Evil Nether Dragon.
"What is this?" Sun Mingyue sat on Chu Li's couch with her long legs closed. She frowned and said, "There doesn't seem to be anything special about it."
The two of them had studied it for a while. The dark blue bead emitted a soft halo and a bone-chilling coldness. Other than that, there was nothing special about it. It looked like a blue luminous pearl.
Chu Li frowned and stared at the dark blue bead. He shook his head.
The Omniscient Mirror could not see through this blue bead. It was blocked by an invisible force. This force was similar to the force of a man and a woman who were connected to the sky. It was definitely not an ordinary object.
"I think it came from the Outland," Chu Li said.
Sun Mingyue said, "Not everything from the Outland is good. Some of them are useless."
"But it's not useless." Chu Li shook his head. "It looks like it's not time to unravel its mystery yet."
Sun Mingyue sighed. "I don't know when that time will come."
Chu Li smiled. "There's no rush. We'll definitely get out."
Sun Mingyue rolled her eyes at him.
Chu Li said, "Let's continue cultivating. We must break through the Nirvana Wheel!"
"Alright." Sun Mingyue scoffed.
When the two of them cultivated, the dark blue bead was placed aside. When Sun Mingyue's body trembled violently, she suddenly stretched out her leg. The tip of her foot accidentally bumped into the dark blue bead.
A ray of dark blue light shone and enveloped the two of them.
