How could he consume this Sarira with a Concentration Talisman?
It would be a pity to consume the Sarira directly. Unlike the soul in the Chakram Tower, the spirit in the Sarira was exceptionally pure and contained the cultivator's understanding of martial arts and the Heaven and Earth Maxim.
The Buddhist's view of emotionlessness was useless to him as it was different from the path he took. He walked on the path of emotionlessness, the reversal of Yin and Yang, and the reversal of life and death. Pure emotionlessness did not conform to his rules.
Everyone's view of the world was different. If they could integrate their own comprehension into their martial arts and cultivate it to perfection, theoretically speaking, they could become Deities. The Deity Field was their own world, a world that could be least disturbed by the outside world, forming a world of its own.
He pondered for a while and realized that this Sarira was suitable for Xiao Qi.
As his thoughts turned, he sensed Xiao Qi's whereabouts. The next moment, he appeared outside a cave.
It was a strange peak that towered into the sky. There were ancient trees on the peak that were lush and colorful. It was a rare spiritual land where the spiritual energy was richer than other places.
The cave was spacious and seemed to be a bear cave because it was very clean.
Chu Li smiled. Xiao Qi liked cleanliness and tidiness. Even a cave was cleaned by her. There was no sense of hardship in the wilderness at all. Instead, it gave him a warm and comfortable feeling.
He wanted to enter the cave to meet her and talk to her to ease his longing.
In the past, even if he was busy outside, he would return to her side at night. If he had something to do and could not leave, he would come back once every three to five days. He was used to having her by his side.
Recently, when she was suddenly not around, he always felt empty. Staying by her side made him feel peaceful as if the world had quietened down.
He used the Omniscient Mirror to observe her and found a strange aura surrounding her like a thick fog. He could not see what she was thinking and did not know what level she had cultivated to.
However, it was obvious that she had made great progress and was much better than before. The thick fog was proof.
Chu Li thought about it and decided not to disturb her.
She wanted to leave the High Duke's Public House and him so that she could cultivate in peace and not be disturbed by him. If he appeared again, he would definitely disturb her state of mind and might even ruin her cultivation.
After thinking about it, he silently appeared in the cave and placed the Sarira and a jade pendant in a corner before he disappeared.

The noon sun shone brightly. On the grass beside the pool, Chu Li practiced the Heaven Killer Three Forms. The Heaven Killer's body was like the clear light of the pool beside him.
Under the nourishment of the Art of Imperial Dragon, his essence, qi, and spirit quickly recovered. He wanted to see if Murdering Heaven Three Styles was affected.
Once the Heaven Slaughtering Sword was pulled out, a strange aura appeared around his body, giving rise to an enormous pressure. It was not inner force, nor was it pure spirit. It could not be defended, but it seemed to be directly affecting the spirit, causing the opponent to hallucinate.
The Heaven Killing Sword was heavy and slow, clumsy and difficult as it slowly pierced out.
"Chi!" The grass on the ground suddenly stuck to the ground, as if it was being pressed down by a huge force.
Chu Li heaved a sigh of relief. He sheathed his sword and smiled.
With that one strike, his inner force was reduced by seventy to eighty percent. Activating the Life and Death Scripture, the Art of Dragon Control suddenly sped up. In the blink of an eye, he recovered. The advancement of the Life and Death Scripture had a huge impact. In the blink of an eye, he could launch another strike. This was something that ordinary people could not achieve. It could be considered a trump card.
Even if he only had one arm left, it did not affect the power of Murdering Heaven Three Styles. He nodded in satisfaction.
As he replayed the previous strike in his mind to see if there were any imperfections, he suddenly felt something. He looked up and saw a white cloud slowly descending. Sun Mingyue landed in front of him, bringing with her a faint fragrance.
Chu Li smiled at her.
Sun Mingyue's face was covered by a white veil, only her eyes could be seen. At that moment, her eyes fell on Chu Li's empty left shoulder.
Chu Li smiled. "It's nothing, I just lost an arm."
"You really went to Hundred-Thousand Hills?" Sun Mingyue asked.
Chu Li nodded.
"You …" Sun Mingyue sighed. "I'm the one who hurt you."
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "You can really imagine things! … I encountered the Spirit Devouring Turtle. I was lucky enough to escape. "
"The Soul-nurturing Pill didn't work?" Sun Mingyue asked.
Chu Li said, "It worked, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful. The time I slept was too short."
Sun Mingyue stared at his left shoulder. "Don't you have the Detachment Pill?"
Chu Li smiled. "The Detachment Pill is useless to me. … It's not a big deal even if I lost an arm."
He gently shook the Sky Regaining Sword and a dragon roared.
His physical body was far stronger than ordinary people. The Detachment Pill was not effective on him, so he could not regrow an arm. This was the disadvantage of being too strong.
"That's good." Sun Mingyue nodded and was relieved.
Chu Li smiled. "Is there anything you need?"
"…" Sun Mingyue hesitated. "I didn't expect you to really take the risk."
Chu Li smiled and shook his head.
"Have you eaten?" Sun Mingyue asked.
"I ate two Yin Yang Fruits." Chu Li replied.
Sun Mingyue said, "I'll go get some food and wine."
She fluttered up and left Ten Despair Valley in the blink of an eye. After a while, she brought a wooden box with six dishes, two soups, and two bottles of wine. The two of them sat on the grass beside the pool.
This bottle of wine was exceptionally strong. Chu Li drank it to his heart's content.
He finished the bottle quickly and washed away some of the depression in his heart. No matter what, losing an arm was not a good feeling. He was only suppressing his negative thoughts to prevent them from affecting him. He did not want to go back to kill the Spirit Devouring Turtle and die instead.
"… I'll go into isolated cultivation after a while." Sun Mingyue picked up the bottle and filled his cup. Her eyes were clear as water. "What do you plan to do?"
"I'm going into isolated cultivation too." Chu Li muttered.
He could not do anything about the Spirit Devouring Turtle at the moment. He could not enter Hundred-Thousand Hills. Going to the Wheel Pagoda was a shortcut. He could let the Evil Dark Dragon enter the Wheel Pagoda to strengthen its spiritual energy.
He had heard from his master, Zhou Dunli, that above the seventh level, the most important thing was the mind and not the body. The Evil Dark Dragon's mind was powerful, but because it had always been in the Ten Despair Valley, isolated from the outside world, its mind had not been tempered, so it was scattered and powerless.
It was like a thick fog. No matter how thick it was, it could not have the power of water.
The Wheel Pagoda could help it comprehend more and strengthen its spiritual energy. With that, it might be able to reach the ninth level.
With the Heaven Murdering Three Forms, it could escape even if it could not defeat Monk Lun Ming.
"Then go into isolated cultivation." Sun Mingyue nodded slowly as if she was relieved.
Chu Li sighed and finished his cup. He smiled after putting it down. "You're going to isolated cultivation until you become an Enlightened Master, right?"
Sun Mingyue lowered her eyes and nodded silently.
Chu Li smiled. "Congratulations, Enlightened Master is in sight."
Sun Mingyue looked up at him. "You really don't want to become an Enlightened Master?"
Chu Li said, "Even if I want to become an Enlightened Master, it can't be done in a short period of time."
Zhou Dunli's abdication and ascension was not something that could happen immediately. Song Wanqing was only a few months away from ascension, which meant that Sun Mingyue would become an Enlightened Master in a few months.
He now had a better understanding of Enlightened Masters. Although Enlightened Masters and Grandmasters seemed to be only one level apart, it was the difference between immortals and mortals. When a Grandmaster stood in front of an Enlightened Master, he would feel an invisible suppression. It was not something that could be ignored or eliminated subjectively. This was the power of Heaven and Earth.
Sun Mingyue gently nodded and sighed. She raised her cup and finished it in one go.
Chu Li smiled. "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about something happy. The Qiu Dynasty is unlucky this time. Won't the Li Dynasty take the opportunity to counterattack?"
"No." Sun Mingyue shook her head. "Master wants stability. After all, it's related to my succession. It's not good to be messed up."
"Mm, that's true." Chu Li smiled. "Senior Song is finally going to let go of his heavy responsibility."
"This is what Master has always wanted." Sun Mingyue smiled.
