He did not expect Song Wanqing to say this.
He initially thought that she would use her identity as an Enlightened Master to force him to make a decision and marry into the Great Light Peak to assist Sun Mingyue.
Song Wanqing said, "If you can become a God, Mingyue won't feel bad becoming your woman, even if she's an Enlightened Master!"
Chu Li took a deep breath and swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
He knew that if he really rejected this, not only would Sun Mingyue lose face, but Song Wanqing would not let him go and might even deal with Xiao Qi. Instead of that, it was better to put it aside.
Song Wanqing did not have much time left in this world. She would soon ascend to the Grandmaster's Boundary, so this matter would not be affected.
Song Wanqing seemed to have read his mind and scoffed. "Do you dare to admit that you don't like Mingyue at all?"
Chu Li was silent.
No man could reject a woman like Sun Mingyue. Even if he had Xiao Qi in his heart and tried his best to suppress his feelings, he could not deceive himself.
"Hmph, you men!" Song Wanqing sneered and cast a sidelong glance at him.
Chu Li sighed. "It's lonely at the top. The Saint is quite pitiful."
"She's pitiful, but there are many more pitiful people in this world!" Song Wanqing scoffed. "If you pity her, treat her well in the future. Don't torture her!"
Chu Li remained silent and dared not agree.
He did not dare to be greedy. He was able to obtain two women. Xiao Qi and Sun Mingyue were both extraordinary women in the world. It was already a blessing to have one of them. If he wanted to have both of them, he would end up with nothing and God would punish his greed.
He had no regrets having Xiao Qi as his life was indeed worth it.
Song Wanqing said, "Forget it, it's useless to tell you this. Do you really want to become a God?"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Song Wanqing scoffed. "It's rare for you to have such intentions, but you should know that no one has succeeded so far."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and nodded slowly.
Song Wanqing said, "The enemy you'll face is the Grandmaster's Boundary. They won't allow you to become a God!"
Chu Li frowned at her.
Song Wanqing said, "Just like how the Fu Dynasty treats the Four Nations, the Outland and our realm must maintain their suppression. What you'll have to face next is not only the Tempest Temple's pursuit, but also the Fu Dynasty's. Even if you hide in Goddess Attraction Mountain, you won't be completely safe. More importantly, you'll be pursued by the Outland!"
"Hunted by the Grandmaster?" Chu Li was stunned.
Song Wanqing said, "All the gods in the five nations have to listen to the Sky's Beyond. If the Sky's Beyond wants to kill you, then all the gods want to kill you, including me!"
Chu Li shook his head. "I'm flattered!"
"However, if you really can master the Dragon Control Technique, I can help you." Song Wanqing said.
Chu Li asked, "Senior Song, why are you doing this?"
"Because I can't stand the way the Realm Beyond Avalon does things!" Song Wanqing sneered, "As an Enlightened Master, your hands and feet are tied. You might as well be a Grandmaster and be free and unfettered. How hateful!"
Chu Li nodded.
Song Wanqing said: "If you can successfully cultivate the Dragon Control Technique, I will help you think of a way to obtain the other three sects' mental cultivation methods, so the key is the Dragon Control Technique. This Dragon Control Technique is not that easy to cultivate!"
Chu Li replied, "I'll try my best!"
Song Wanqing said: "If you want to successfully cultivate the Dragon Control Technique, the requirements are too harsh, especially now that the spirit beasts have entered the Hundred-Thousand Hills. It is even more impossible to cultivate the Dragon Control Technique, so don't hold too much hope. Just stay at Goddess Attraction Mountain."
If he could not defy nature and become a god, he could still become a god under the protection of Goddess Attraction Mountain. Although she said it was tasteless, it was still more freedom than the Grandmaster. From then on, his life would no longer be in danger.
Chu Li said: "Thank you, Senior Song."
Song Wanqing waved her hand and said: "When are you leaving?"
"I'll leave now." Chu Li said.
"Go." Song Wanqing said: "Talk to Ming Yue and leave as soon as possible. Cultivate the Dragon Control Technique as soon as possible. If I haven't mastered the Dragon Control Technique by the time I ascend to heaven, I won't be able to help you anymore!"
"Yes." Chu Li fist saluted and turned to leave the courtyard.
He arrived at the Divine Light Basilica.
The basilica was brightly lit, but it was deserted. Only Sun Mingyue was reading the scrolls.
When she saw Chu Li enter, she sat behind the table and looked at him quietly.
Chu Li sighed: "I should go to Goddess Attraction Mountain."
"I'll send you there!" Sun Mingyue said.
"No need." Chu Li shook his head. "I'll be careful."
Both of them knew that the road to Goddess Attraction Mountain was not easy. They might be intercepted along the way.
Sun Mingyue frowned and stared at him.
Chu Li said: "I can't rely on you for everything. Being able to enter Goddess Attraction Mountain is already a great help. Besides, no one else knows about this, right?"
"No." Sun Mingyue shook her head.
How could this matter be spread out? There would be endless trouble.
"Then it's fine." Chu Li said.
Sun Mingyue scoffed. "Once you enter Goddess Attraction Mountain, you might be wronged. I hope you can bear it."
Chu Li said: "I used to be an unranked Scribe of the High Duke's Public House."
"It's easy to go up, but it's hard to go down." Sun Mingyue said: "I hope you can bear it … What did Master say to you?"
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Song warned me to be careful of all Enlightened Masters."
Sun Mingyue stared at his face carefully and sighed in relief.
She was most afraid that Song Wanqing would talk about her relationship with Chu Li and force him to leave Xiao Qi and marry her.
"It's getting late. I'll set off now." Chu Li fist saluted. "Take care, Saint. If you really need me, crush this pendant."
He took out a crystal clear jade talisman and handed it to her.
Sun Mingyue took it and fiddled with it for a while before putting it in front of her chest. Then, she took out an iron tag from her sleeve and handed it to him. "This is the entrance iron tag to Goddess Attraction Mountain. Anyone who holds this tag will become an outer disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain for a year. I've already told Goddess Attraction Mountain about your identity. You'll be using the name Chu Li."
Chu Li smiled and fist saluted. Then, he turned around and strode out of Divine Light Basilica. He then disappeared and appeared at the exit of Great Light Peak with the appearance of Zhao Dahe. He had been using this appearance to travel through the night.
This identity was the safest way for him to avoid being hunted. Until now, no one knew that he was Zhao Dahe.
He traveled during the day and rested at night. He was not in a hurry as he leisurely made his way to Goddess Attraction Mountain. After traveling like this for ten days, he arrived at the foot of a towering peak and looked up at Goddess Attraction Mountain.
The towering peak towered into the sky. It was straight and did not have a slope. It was like a stone pillar that reached the sky. At first glance, he could only see the clouds and mist. He could not see the peak or how tall it was.
Even with the Omniscient Mirror, Chu Li could not see how tall it was.
This was the famous and mysterious Goddess Attraction Mountain. As he stood at the foot of the mountain, he could not help but want to kneel on the ground.
He reached out and took out the iron tag. Suddenly, a ray of light appeared on the iron tag. Then, a force surged out of the iron tag and broke free from his hand. It floated in the air and suddenly turned into a ray of dark light that shot into the mountainside of Goddess Attraction Mountain and disappeared.
Chu Li frowned and pondered. It seemed that there was a formation carved on the iron tag. Otherwise, no matter how strong one's cultivation level was, it would be impossible to take away the iron tag from so far away.
He had studied the iron tag along the way and noticed that there was a strange symbol carved on it. When the iron tag flashed earlier, the Omniscient Mirror had also seen the strange symbol flash.
