Monk Lun Ming's heart tightened as he felt a chill down his spine.
After seeing that sword just now, as a heavenly deity, his perception was extremely sharp. That sword that looked ordinary to outsiders, hesitant and clumsy, in his perception, was world destroying. It completely locked down the surrounding void, impossible to evade.
He knew that if it was him, he would not be able to avoid it. He was not Tang Xu. If he faced Chu Li's strike, he would be killed. Even if he was an Enlightened Master, his head would be cut off.
"Almsgiver Chu!" Monk Lun Ming quickly said, "I didn't expect Almsgiver Chu to be fine. Congratulations!"
Chu Li smiled at him. "Monk, why do you say such things? You must be disappointed that I'm not dead?"
"Sigh …" Monk Lun Ming shook his head. "I didn't want to kill you."
Chu Li laughed loudly and shook his head. "Monk, among all the people I've seen, you're the most hypocritical. You have a kind and benevolent appearance, yet your mind is gloomy and vicious, cunning and hypocritical. You're truly extremely suitable to cultivate the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture!"
There was no doubt that cultivating the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture could change one's temperament. As his understanding of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture deepened, he understood that the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture allowed one to see through life and death.
However, the Titanium Temple had always been proud and arrogant, looking down on all living beings. They experienced the mortal world to see one's nature, to know the evils of human nature, to transcend and be free from worldly desires.
The Reincarnation Temple, however, did not have such foresight. Hence, it was inevitable that they would fall into the abyss of the human heart.
"Almsgiver Chu, I don't deserve that." Monk Lun Ming shook his head and smiled. "I didn't expect Almsgiver Tang to be helpless against Almsgiver Chu. If this gets out, the world will be shocked. It will change everyone's perception."
Chu Li smiled. "I don't need your help to spread the news. Moreover, I was just taking advantage of him. If Tang Xu wasn't injured, I wouldn't have been able to defeat him!"
"Almsgiver Chu is a sincere gentleman!" Monk Lun Ming smiled. "You're more magnanimous than others!"
Chu Li reached out and pulled out the long sword from Sun Mingyue's waist. "I can't defeat Tang Xu, but against you, monk, it's not a problem!"
The power of Sun Mingyue's Divine Light Sword was astonishing. It was a trump card, but she almost never had to use this trump card. The Divine Fist of Great Light was usually able to solve the problem. If it could not be solved, then the Divine Light Sword would be useless.
She cast a sidelong glance at Chu Li but did not take back her sword.
"Buzz …" Chu Li gently shook the blade and looked at Monk Lun Ming. "Do you wish to live or die, monk?"
"So what if you want to die? So what if I want to live? " Monk Lun Ming pressed his palms together and said, "I practice the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, so I don't really care about life and death. Almsgiver Chu should know this."
Chu Li smiled. "Don't worry, I won't take this opportunity to blackmail you. I just want to verify something."
"Almsgiver Chu, let's hear it," Lun Ming said.
Chu Li asked, "How many levels does the Rotary Pagoda have?"
"Ninth level." Lun Ming said.
Chu Li frowned. "Why can't I go to the next floor?"
"His cultivation is insufficient," Lun Ming said.
Chu Li shook his head. "Then why can't I see anyone else in the building?"
"The Tower of Inheritance opens once a month." Monk Lun Ming said, "When Almsgiver Chu entered, it wasn't during the opening hours."
"Then you're in the pagoda?" Chu Li asked.
"Yes."
"Which level are you at?"
"… Eighth level," Monk Lun Ming said.
Chu Li squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully as if he was trying to see if he was telling the truth. "As an Enlightened Master, you've only reached the eighth level?"
Monk Lun Ming's expression was solemn. "The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture is a supreme scripture that contains the principles of heaven and earth. Even an Enlightened Master can't cultivate to the highest level, the ninth level. Reaching the eighth level is already my limit."
"The Rotary Pagoda is your Enlightened Master's Field, right? The souls of the Grandmasters who died in the temple will enter the pagoda and never be destroyed. If they continue to cultivate, will they be able to reincarnate? "Chu Li frowned.
Monk Lun Ming shook his head and smiled. "The Rotary Pagoda isn't an Enlightened Master's Field. The Enlightened Master's Field is somewhere else. I won't tell anyone about it. It's useless even if Almsgiver Chu kills me."
Chu Li shook his head thoughtfully. "Then where do the souls in the Rotary Pagoda come from?"
Monk Lun Ming squinted his eyes and smiled. "Those aren't souls, they're evil spirits. Evil spirits that can't be transcended."
Chu Li chuckled. "It seems like the Reincarnation Temple has another mysterious technique. It's quite mysterious."
"Namo Amitabha …" Monk Lun Ming's eyes flashed as he slowly said, "Our temple will send people all over the world to accumulate merits and to transcend evil spirits. If they really can't be transcended, they will bring them back to the Rotary Pagoda and use it to help them reincarnate. Excellent, excellent!"
Chu Li was deep in thought.
He understood that the Rotary Pagoda used souls to strengthen the cultivation level of the Reincarnation Temple disciples.
He could use the Concentration Talisman to absorb soul energy because of the Life and Death Scripture and many other peerless techniques that he cultivated. That was why he could absorb soul energy. For ordinary people, even with the Concentration Talisman, they would not be able to withstand it.
When the Reincarnation Temple disciples comprehended the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, once they understood something, they would have the opportunity to absorb soul energy and strengthen their spirit. This was the mystery of the Rotary Pagoda.
If these souls were the disciples of the Reincarnation Temple, he would find it too scary. However, if they were evil spirits from all over the world, it would not be so unacceptable. It seemed like the Rotary Pagoda was indeed a treasured weapon, a top-notch one at that.
Chu Li coughed softly and smiled. "Then there's one last question. What kind of martial art did you use to plot against us?"
"It's the Grand Finger of Reincarnation," Monk Lun Ming said. "It was condensed by twenty Grandmasters into one finger. Its power is shocking."
"A finger energy that can directly destroy souls?" Chu Li said lightly.
Monk Lun Ming slowly said, "Indeed."
"Where did they use this finger from?" Chu Li asked.
Monk Lun Ming hesitated for a moment before he calmly said, "In the Rotary Pagoda."
"The seventh level?" Chu Li asked.
Monk Lun Ming nodded. "Actually, the conditions to use the Grand Finger of Reincarnation are very strict. It's very difficult to use it even once and the price is too high."
Chu Li sighed. "What a Grand Finger of Reincarnation. Alright then, let's have a fight. Based on what you said, I won't use my own sword. I'll use this sword."
Without waiting for Monk Lun Ming to speak, Chu Li held Sun Mingyue's hand and thrust his sword forward. A bright light shrouded Monk Lun Ming.
Monk Lun Ming sighed and the Sun Wheel and Moon Wheel appeared in his sleeve.
"Ding ding ding ding …" The clear sound of the sword pierced the wheels. Monk Lun Ming's face was solemn as he kept on retreating.
The aura of the Supreme Vajra Scripture was channeled through the Heaven Killing Three Forms and turned into a strange and difficult sword force. Monk Lun Ming felt uncomfortable after receiving more than ten attacks. The sword force was extremely pure and could not be eliminated.
If this went on, he would have to surrender in less than a hundred moves.
"Tss!" His shoulder was suddenly stabbed and disappeared in the next moment.
Chu Li scoffed and turned to look at Chen Zhenji. "Your Majesty, you should take care of yourself!"
Chen Zhenji's face darkened and scoffed. "Don't worry about me!"
Chu Li said, "If the Qiu Dynasty and the Li Dynasty continue to fight, both sides will suffer!"
