Chu Li pondered, "Brother Zhou, once this bell is rung, the hill master will come out of isolation?"
Zhou Jie nodded.
Chu Li asked, "Then can I ask, where is the hill master in isolation?"
Zhou Jie shook his head.
Chu Li smiled, "Not in this world?"
Zhou Jie looked at him in surprise, "Why do you think so?"
"I feel that this bell is mysterious, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary item," Chu Li looked at the bronze bell, "Could it be an item from Outland?"
"As expected of someone who mastered the Spirit Serpent Technique," Zhou Jie nodded, "I might as well tell you, this bell is indeed an item from Outland."
Chu Li asked, "Once I ring this bell, the hill master can hear it?"
"Of course," Zhou Jie nodded.
Chu Li smiled, "No matter where the hill master is, as long as you ring this bell, he can hear it, even from Outland, right?"
"… Seems like you know quite a lot." Zhou Jie hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding his head. "Hill Chieftain doesn't usually stay in this realm. She's usually cultivating in seclusion in the Sky Beyond Heaven. Only this bell can be heard by Hill Chieftain. Without this bell, even if we shout till the heavens shatter, Hill Chieftain won't be able to hear us.
Chu Li exclaimed, "How extraordinary!"
Zhou Jie said, "I heard that this bell is not an ordinary item in Outland, it's very rare … Alright, you should ring the bell!"
Chu Li nodded, "If that's the case, then I'll disturb the hill master."
He flicked his finger.
A force hit the bronze bell, but it was silent, no sound was heard.
Zhou Jie shook his head, "You need to use all your strength and unleash all the inner energy of the Spirit Serpent Technique to ring it."
Chu Li activated the ninth level of the Spirit Serpent Technique, his rich inner energy rolled. Although it was not as strong as the inner energy cultivated by the Supreme Diamond Scripture, it was much purer than before. He lightly hit the bronze bell with his finger.
"Ding …" A clear ring was heard, like hitting a small porcelain cup, the sound was soft and crisp, completely different from the sound of the bronze bell.
Chu Li looked at Zhou Jie.
Zhou Jie nodded, "The hill master should already know."
Chu Li said, "The hill master is in isolation in Outland, is your master also in Outland?"
"I don't know," Zhou Jie shook his head.
Chu Li smiled.
Zhou Jie said, "Master is elusive, I really don't know where he is."
"Could it be that he entered the Hundred-Thousand Hills?" Chu Li asked.
Zhou Jie was startled and shook his head. "The Hundred Thousand Mountains are too dangerous. Even Master doesn't dare to enter. That's the land of spirit beasts. Humans are not allowed to enter, or else they will die."
Chu Li smiled. "Can't the hill master enter as well?"
"You can't go in." Zhou Jie shook his head. "Even Empyrean Gods won't be able to survive in there."
Chu Li nodded thoughtfully.
He had originally guessed that the Mountain Chieftain and her disciple were in closed-door cultivation in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but now that he thought about it, he was wrong. Moreover, the Hundred Thousand Mountains were indeed dangerous, and they didn't dare to enter. It was indeed rare for him to be able to freely enter and leave the Spirit Cranes Peak.
As the two of them spoke, a dragon's roar resounded throughout Immortal Attraction Mountain.
Chu Li felt his blood and Qi fluctuating. He felt uncomfortable all over and wanted to vomit.
He hurriedly activated Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture to suppress it. When he looked again, Zhou Jie was already lying on the ground, his face red as if he was drunk.
A giant dragon suddenly emerged from the clouds. It was about a hundred meters long, huge and slender. The dragon's scales shone with a golden luster as if it had stolen the sun's light. The dragon's long beard fluttered in the wind, and its eyes were cold and emotionless. It drifted down from the clouds leisurely.
It was Chu Li's first time seeing a real dragon. Previously, he had only seen it in paintings. Now that he thought about it, the paintings only had the form but not the spirit. The dragon's eyes were like lightning as it glared at him. The Dragon's Might emitted from its body was so vast that it could destroy the world.
If Chu Li's soul had not been so strong that it was inhuman and he had Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture to calm his mind, his mind would have been taken away by this dragon and he would have been at a loss. Zhou Jie's expression was enough to tell the truth.
Zhou Jie was staring blankly at the sky. His body was trembling, and his inner energy was in chaos as if he was possessed.
The dragon stopped descending when it was a hundred meters above them. It suddenly lifted its head and swayed its body beautifully. It was elegant and calm, and its slender and huge body soared up again.
A yellow figure leaped down from the dragon's body and floated down as if he was being carried by white clouds.
The color of his clothes was the same as the golden dragon's. Coupled with the vast Dragon's Might, it was easy to overlook him.
This person was a kind-looking old man. His eyebrows and beard were all white. His face was thin and small, and his complexion was as rosy as a baby's. His eyes were gentle and clear like a baby's, without a trace of impurity.
He floated and landed in front of the two of them silently and stood steadily. With a wave of his hand, a gentle force seeped into Zhou Jie's body and dispelled his chaotic inner energy. His injuries were all healed and he recovered in the blink of an eye.
His gaze fell on Chu Li. He sized him up and smiled. "You're the one who rang the bell, right?"
Chu Li gave a fist salute. "I'm Chu Li, an outer mountain disciple. Greetings, Hill Master!"
"Chu Li …" Hill Master Zhou Dunli looked at Zhou Jie.
Zhou Jie said respectfully, "Hill Master, Chu Li is here on behalf of a disciple of the Li Dynasty's imperial family. He's from the Ji Dynasty and the Holy Church of Light has informed us, so Master can only accept him."
Zhou Dunli smiled as he sized Chu Li up. "The Ji Dynasty? The Holy Church of Light? Interesting! "
The Ji Dynasty and the Li Dynasty were old enemies. They had always been fighting at the border. As a master of the Ji Dynasty, he should be at odds with the Holy Church of Light. However, he had connections with the Holy Church of Light. The inside story was very curious.
Chu Li felt as if Zhou Dunli was not in front of him. The Omniscient Mirror could only see a void. If he did not see it with his own eyes, he would not think that there was someone in front of him. His cultivation level was indeed high. He had completely refined himself. This was the true state of Oneness of Heaven and Man.
Of course, it was also because his cultivation level was not high enough that he could not sense it. As his cultivation level became higher, his senses would become sharper and he might be able to sense his presence.
If he were to ambush him, the Omniscient Mirror would not be able to see him. His senses would also be ineffective. It would be easy for someone like him to kill him.
His instinctive sense of danger made his body tense up. Although he had a kind smile on his face, it was refreshing.
Zhou Jie had already relaxed. He smiled. "To be able to get the Holy Church of Light to recommend him to replace a disciple of the Li Dynasty's imperial family, Junior Chu is also capable. Hill Master, Junior Chu has already cultivated the Spirit Snake Technique."
Chu Li looked at Zhou Jie and secretly shook his head.
This little trick of his could not be hidden from Zhou Dunli's eyes. It was just a little trick.
"Hmm, to be able to cultivate the Spirit Snake Technique so quickly, it's rare." Zhou Dunli nodded slowly and pondered as he sized Chu Li up.
Chu Li felt that something was wrong.
Looking at Zhou Dunli's expression, he did not have the intention to agree immediately. There must be some hindrance.
Zhou Jie asked, "Hill Master, can he become an inner mountain disciple?"
"Logically speaking, once he cultivates the Spirit Snake Technique, he can become an inner mountain disciple and cultivate the Dragon Taming Technique." Zhou Dunli said slowly.
Chu Li looked at him with a smile.
Zhou Jie smiled. "So, Junior Chu is an inner mountain disciple?"
"But …" Zhou Dunli pondered and looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled and did not say anything.
