Chu Li pondered as he swung his sword.
It seemed that Song Zhifan was planning something big. He was using the Divine Arts to recruit masters.
The Changshen Church's Divine Arts were famous for being powerful. Song Wuji was the best example.
Many people hated Song Wuji but more envied and admired him. They wanted to become Song Wuji and cultivate the Changshen Church's martial arts. Even if they could not become Song Wuji, they could still dominate the world.
Being recruited by the Changshen Denomination, even if he didn't agree, others might agree. If they learned these martial arts, they would definitely be able to suppress him. Seeing that his friends and opponents around him could suppress him, it must be a terrible feeling.
With this thought, there would be many Grandmasters who wanted to join the Changshen Church.
After becoming a Grandmaster, they would not be satisfied. Unfortunately, their path to becoming an Enlightened Master had been blocked. The Changshen Church gave everyone a chance to become an Enlightened Master. Even if it was slim, they would try their best to grasp it. It was like a drowning man grabbing onto a straw.
The Changshen Church's Divine Arts were the source of greed and also their advantage. It was a great temptation and power to use it to recruit masters. According to his method, he would first display his powerful martial arts to suppress the arrogance and evil thoughts of the person being recruited. Then, he would use the Divine Arts to attract them. With a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other, he would be able to accumulate enough power.
If this continued, it would not be difficult for the Changshen Church to rise again and stand proudly in the martial arts world.
When he thought of this, Chu Li could see a bloodbath.
"Ding ding ding ding …" Song Zhifan frowned as he waved his sword and stared at Chu Li.
He was a little confused. The old man's swordsmanship was so brilliant but he had never heard of it. It was strange.
Although the world was vast and full of extraordinary things, and there were dragons and pythons hidden in the depths of the wilderness, it was indeed a little strange that his swordsmanship was not famous at this level.
"Who are you? Can you tell me?" Song Zhifan asked.
Chu Li said, "I'm Bai Li Na."
"Bai Li Na …" Song Zhifan thought about it but he had never heard of this name.
Chu Li chuckled. "I've always lived in seclusion in the mountains and didn't get involved in worldly affairs. I just saw the Changshen Church appear again, so I came to take a look."
"You still want to avenge your ancestor?" Song Zhifan asked.
"Don't you want to avenge your ancestor?" Chu Li scoffed.
Song Zhifan shook his head and said, "I can't take revenge on my ancestors. The dead are dead. My responsibility is to revive the Changshen Denomination and let it re-establish itself in the martial arts world."
"Reign supreme over the world!" Lu Jun clenched his fist.
Song Zhifan glanced at him and did not deny it.
Chu Li scoffed. "It's impossible for you to reign supreme over the world."
"Where there is a will, there is a way." Song Zhifan suddenly stopped and said indifferently, "We don't have to fight anymore. If I use the Sacrificial Divine Art, you won't be my match. Do you admit this?"
"Alright, I'm indeed no match for you." Chu Li nodded. "But with your current martial arts skills, it's impossible for you to dominate the world."
"I can't do it now, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to in the future." Song Zhifan said faintly, "Elder Baili, are you willing to remain a Grandmaster for the rest of your life and never become an Enlightened Master?"
"I'm not that ambitious." Chu Li shook his head.
Song Zhifan smiled. "Why do you have to lie to me? Any Grandmaster wants to become an Enlightened Master, especially an Enlightened Master who can live forever and ascend to the Grandmaster's Boundary to continue living. After stepping into the Grandmaster's Boundary and becoming a Celestial, one's lifespan will be ten thousand years."
"That's all nonsense. Who knows if a Celestial can live for ten thousand years? Who can prove that they can step into the Grandmaster's Boundary?" Chu Li shook his head.
He was holding back. The more he did not want to enter the Grandmaster's Boundary, the more Song Zhifan wanted to recruit him.
He revealed an exquisite sword technique. The Great Heaven-deriving Sword Technique, the Omniscient Mirror, the Star Insight Technique, and the Nature Restoration Manifestation were combined. Even if it was not as powerful as the Heaven Murdering Three Forms, it was still powerful enough.
He believed that there were not many people in the world who had such a sword technique. It was worth recruiting him.
Song Zhifan said, "That's for sure. There's no need to doubt it. … Forget it. It seems like Elder Baili doesn't want to become an Enlightened Master. I admire such an indifferent person!"
Chu Li looked at him with a faint smile. He knew that Song Zhifan was retreating for the sake of advancing.
Song Zhifan said, "I like such an indifferent person. I can promise you that after you enter the Longevity Church, you will be an Honorary Minister. Your freedom will not be restricted. You will only fight when there's a critical event."
"Honorary Minister …" Chu Li smiled.
Song Zhifan said, "This is already the best condition. Although there are not many Grandmasters, there are still quite a few. However, there is no divine technique like my church. I hope Elder Baili will consider it carefully."
Chu Li shook his head. "I won't agree."
"Sigh …" Song Zhifan shook his head regretfully. "Forget it then. Since you can't become a disciple of the Longevity Church, I can only kill you. What a pity!"
He shook his head and slowly raised his palm.
He really felt that it was a pity.
Baili Na's cultivation level was not too high. It should be a degeneration caused by aging. If he could enter the Longevity Church and cultivate the first level of the Ageless Longevity Technique, he could recover his original cultivation level and become a top-notch master. It would increase the strength of the Longevity Church.
Even if he could not recover, he was worth recruiting. The strength that he displayed was far beyond his cultivation level. He was already a top-notch master. There were not many people in the world who had the same cultivation level and strength as Lu Jun.
However, it was a pity that Baili Na was so stubborn.
He could only use his last resort. Maybe he could change his mind before he died.
If he really did not change his mind, he could only kill him to prevent the Longevity Church's grand plan from being exposed.
His right palm suddenly turned blood red.
Chu Li frowned. "Blood Jade Palm?"
"You know about the Blood Jade Palm. It seems like you've met the Church of the Divine Blood." Song Zhifan nodded slowly. "I'm sure you've experienced the Blood Jade Palm. Let's see which is stronger, that Blood Jade Palm or my authentic Blood Jade Palm."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Blood Jade Palm was already in front of Chu Li's chest.
Chu Li countered with a Cloud Slashing Palm.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Chu Li was instantly sent flying. It was as if he was hit by a running elephant. He could not react at all.
"Pfft!" He spat out an arrow of blood in the air. His face was so red that it looked like it was covered with a layer of red cloth.
A strange force surged in his body. Chu Li was extremely shocked.
He did not expect Song Zhifan's power to suddenly increase by a few times. He could not fight back at all.
He did not expect the Blood Jade Palm to be so pure. It was so ferociously devouring his blood essence to strengthen itself. Its devouring power was as strong as the Spirit Devouring Turtle.
He looked down at his palm. His palm and arm were pale and green. The color of blood had faded and became dull like the skin of a dead person. Most of his blood essence had been devoured by the Blood Jade Palm. The Cloud Slashing Power could not devour it. He could only use the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture to dissolve it.
Fortunately, after the Life and Death Scripture had been refined, the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture had also been refined. They could dissolve the Blood Jade Palm.
Song Zhifan stood on the spot and smiled at him. "This is the real Sacrificial Power. Once you've mastered it, you can advance and retreat at will. It only takes a thought to use it or not. There are no signs and it's impossible to guard against."
