Fa Yuan was silent.
This sword was comparable to an Enlightened Master. How powerful was that? It was a huge temptation to anyone.
He looked at Chu Li, then at Kongzhu. "Honorable Master, how long will it take to purify this sword?"
"With the help of the entire temple, it should be weakened in three days," Kongzhu replied. "It'll be hard to see results in less than three days, but to completely eliminate its malevolent aura, the Tempest Temple might not be able to do it. It'll take hundreds of years of hard work."
"Amitabha …" Fa Yuan shook his head and sighed.
Chu Li smiled. "Then I'll wait for you for three days. Thank you, High Monks."
"Sure." Kongzhu slowly asked, "But Almsgiver Chu, can you leave this sword without worry?"
"It's fine." Chu Li smiled. "I trust the temple."
"Alright. I can guarantee that I won't lose this sword. Please stay for three days, Almsgiver Chu, "Kongzhu said.
"Thank you, Master." Chu Li bowed.
Kongzhu held the sword with both hands and slowly left the temple.
Fa Yuan watched as Kongzhu's thin and short figure disappeared. He turned to look at Chu Li. "Brother Chu, are you sure?"
Chu Li smiled. "I believe the temple won't make a mistake."
"Sigh …" Fa Yuan nodded.
He suddenly remembered that Chu Li had Goddess Attraction Mountain behind him. He was not afraid that the Tempest Temple would steal the sword. Moreover, the sword was inauspicious and should not be kept. It was said to be an ominous sword.
Chu Li said, "Fa Yuan, your cultivation level has improved. Congratulations."
Fa Yuan laughed and shook his head. "Brother Chu, you're showing off, aren't you?"
In terms of cultivation level, Chu Li was far better than him. He could even kill an Enlightened Master and become the number one master of the Grandmaster.
The people of the Ji Dynasty's martial arts world might not know who the Emperor was, but they all knew who Chu Li was.
"Come, come. It's rare for Brother Chu to be here. Let's spar." Fa Yuan smiled.
"That's what I was thinking." Chu Li replied.
The two came to the center of the temple and began to fight in the open space. They did not use their martial arts, only their techniques.
—
Chu Li stayed in the Fa Yuan Zen Temple for three days. Every day, they would discuss scriptures and theories, and they would spar with each other in martial arts. Both of them had made great progress. Although Chu Li's cultivation level was far higher than Fa Yuan's, his foundation was not as deep and exquisite as Fa Yuan's.
What he had learned was too diverse, and he had not been able to integrate them into one. He had not even been able to create a complete sword art. Moreover, the mental cultivation methods that he had learned were the best in the world. An ordinary person could become a top-notch master with just one of them, but it would be difficult for him to perfect it in his entire life. However, he had practiced them all at once, and his energy was far from enough.
On the morning of the fourth day, he was sparring with Fa Yuan.
The Divine Fist of Divine Light was compared to Fa Yuan's various fist techniques. His understanding of the Divine Fist of Divine Light had deepened. Fa Yuan was also a genius in martial arts. The martial arts of the Tempest Temple were extensive and profound.
The sound of footsteps could be heard as Kongzhu slowly entered the monastery with the Heaven Killing Sword in hand.
Chu Li stepped forward and pressed his palms together in obeisance. After thanking him, he received the Sky Regaining Sword, but he felt that the sword had become slightly heavier.
Slightly taken aback, he looked at Kongzhu.
He could feel that this was the Sky Regaining Sword, but how could it be heavier? Could it be that they had smeared something on the sword?
Kongzhu said, "Almsgiver Chu, this sword has been purified by us for three days. Its resentment has dissipated a little, and it has also become slightly heavier … However, its killing intent is still oppressive, and it will definitely devour its owner. So, Almsgiver Chu, if you can, please don't use it. If you really have to use it, you can't use it more than two times."
"Two times …" Chu Li slowly nodded.
"I know that Almsgiver Chu possesses the Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture." Kongzhu looked at Chu Li sternly. "If not, Almsgiver Chu can only use this sword once. If you use it more than once, you will become the sword's slave and the master of slaughter. You will definitely become the world's public enemy, and you will die a terrible death. … You must remember not to use it more than two times, two times!"
"Thank you, Master." Chu Li nodded solemnly.
Originally, he was still hoping for a fluke, thinking that his soul was strong, and with the protection of Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture, he should be able to resist the backlash. Now, it seemed that this Master Kongzhu did not know martial arts, but had a penetrating eye. Seeing that he had Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture, he still warned him like this. It seemed that even Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture could not block the Heaven Killing Sword.
He didn't dare take this risk. If he really was controlled by the Heaven Killing Sword's backlash, then that would truly become a joke. This sword could only be used to kill Tang Xu, it couldn't be used normally.
Kongzhu said, "As for whether the Sky-killing Sword is related to the inheritance of the Changsheng Denomination, Almsgiver Chu, you'd better not think about it. Otherwise, you'll be wasting your time. If it was really related, the inheritance of the Changsheng Denomination would have appeared long ago!"
Chu Li nodded.
Kongzhu pressed his palms together and turned to leave.
As he watched him leave, Chu Li hung the Heaven Killing Sword on his waist. He raised his head and stared at the Heaven Killing Sword. He smiled and said, "Want to try?"
"No need." Fa Yuan shook his head.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "Can you really endure it?"
"Amitabha Buddha …" Fa Yuan chanted the name of Buddha and closed his eyes.
Chu Li stopped teasing him and smiled. "If that's the case, I should take my leave. Take care of yourself, lest others take advantage of you."
"Brother Chu too," Fa Yuan said. "The Fu Dynasty is tyrannical. Brother Chu, don't go head-on with them."
Chu Li smiled and nodded, then suddenly disappeared.
Fa Yuan was stunned and his expression changed slightly.
This was the Tempest Temple, and it was shrouded in a huge formation. It was also shrouded in the Heaven and God Pills. It looked peaceful, but it was extremely strict. Divine powers could not be used in the formation, but Chu Li could disappear in an instant. This was definitely not martial arts.
Fa Yuan's expression was solemn. This was not a small matter. He needed to verify it. Could it be that the formation had failed?

Chu Li appeared in the Divine Light Basilica in the next moment.
The morning sun shone brightly on the Divine Light Basilica and it was filled with auspicious energy.
Sun Mingyue was dressed in a snow-white robe and a white veil covered her face. She was still reading the dossiers behind the table. When she looked up and saw Chu Li, she smiled and put down the dossiers. She approached him and a faint fragrance wafted into Chu Li's nose.
Her eyes were like limpid autumn waters as she glanced at Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled. "Has the Qiu Dynasty and the Li Dynasty started fighting?"
"They have." Sun Mingyue nodded slowly and her eyes flashed coldly. "It seems like there will be a big battle."
Chu Li said, "How about we break into the Reincarnation Temple?"
"Are you confident?" Sun Mingyue asked.
Chu Li scoffed. "How can I not vent my anger? Is Senior Song alright? "
"He's still in isolated cultivation." Sun Mingyue frowned. "His injuries are too severe. He needs a long time to recover. That Reincarnation Pagoda is really despicable."
Chu Li said, "Let's break into the Reincarnation Pagoda this time!"
He actually wanted to explore the wonders of the Reincarnation Pagoda.
He realized that the Reincarnation Pagoda was not as simple as he thought. Monk Zhi Shan said that the Reincarnation Pagoda contained the wonders of reincarnation. He thought that it was an exaggeration, but now it seemed like it was true.
If not for the Reincarnation Pagoda, the Evil Nether Dragon might not have survived. Although he had the Life and Death Scripture, others could not comprehend it. Hence, the Reincarnation Pagoda did indeed contain the wonders of life and death. It was worth exploring.
Sun Mingyue looked hesitant.
What she needed to do now was not to take risks, but to play it safe and take over the Enlightened Master's position. Before her master went into isolated cultivation, he had repeatedly reminded her not to take risks with Chu Li.
Now that Chu Li had appeared, she was tempted.
Chu Li smiled. "Don't worry, I've borrowed the Sky Regaining Sword from my master. Monk Lun Ming won't be afraid no matter how strong he is."
Sun Mingyue smiled bitterly.
