He had seen these words in Song Zhifan's mind when he was heavily injured. The Enlightened Master's martial arts was a martial arts that only Enlightened Masters could cultivate. It was incredibly powerful and the Ageless Longevity Technique was an Enlightened Master's martial arts.
It could be cultivated when one was in the Grandmaster's Boundary or when one was an Enlightened Master. However, the cultivation method was completely different and the power was vastly different.
If he were to face the Ageless Longevity Technique again, he was unsure if he could withstand it.
"Anyway, be careful," Xiao Qi said softly. "Why don't I go over and hold the line?"
Her cultivation level was also improving by leaps and bounds. The longer she cultivated, the more powerful the Regal Sword above her head became. The sword energy and the heart of the sword could not be mentioned in the same breath as before.
Now, even if she could not suppress an Enlightened Master, she could escape unscathed. She was even confident that she could fight an Enlightened Master but unfortunately, she did not have the chance to test it.
Chu Li pondered and nodded slowly. "Alright."
Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment before her eyes widened in surprise.
She did not expect Chu Li to agree.
She thought Chu Li would think that she was a burden and was worried about her safety, so he dared not let her follow. He had always been this careful and protective. Even if she had a high cultivation level, there was no place for her to use it.
Chu Li smiled. "Madam's martial arts is incredible now. I'll need your help during crucial moments."
He had been thinking. Xiao Qi's cultivation level was high and she had almost cultivated the Regal Sword Scripture to its peak. She was only a step away from perfect mastery. Unfortunately, to perfect mastery, she needed to be honed and killed.
If he kept her in the courtyard and did not let her go through hardships, the Regal Sword Scripture would never be perfected.
Furthermore, Xiao Qi had gone out to cultivate on her own and did not want to meet him. This had given him a wake-up call. If he continued to treat Xiao Qi like before, she might be bored to death. It would be terrible if she ran away from home again.
Xiao Shi pursed her lips and smiled. "You're still considerate."
Xiao Qi asked, "It won't hinder you, will it?"
Chu Li shook his head. "Madam's martial arts level is enough to protect herself. Don't worry."
"That's good." Xiao Qi smiled. "I'd like to see the bishop of the Changshen Church."
Chu Li said, "The Changshen Church's strength is not to be underestimated. It might be slightly weaker than the eight sects now but with an Enlightened Master, it'll be different. It might be able to suppress the eight sects in the future and become the first."
"Surpass Goddess Attraction Mountain?" Xiao Shi scoffed.
Chu Li nodded slowly.
He now saw the weakness of Goddess Attraction Mountain. Their backing in the Realm Beyond Heaven was not strong enough, and they were not as strong as Song Wuji. They were very apprehensive of Song Wuji, and as a result, their hands and feet were tied and they could not act freely.
The only thing he could do was to weaken the Changshen Sect. It would be best if he could cripple Song Zhifan, but not kill him.
Xiao Qi replied, "We have to be careful."
Chu Li nodded.
It seemed that Li Xinghe had not made his move yet, or perhaps he was still in the process of contacting others. If they were to work together, it would be enough to deal a heavy blow to the Changshen Cult, slowing down their rise and buying time for himself.

Early in the morning, Chu Li and Xiao Qi appeared together outside a few thatched cottages. One of them wore a white robe that fluttered in the wind while the other wore a snow-white robe that was peerlessly beautiful. When they stood together, they looked like an immortal couple that attracted the envy of onlookers.
Song Zhifan and Lu Jun came out of the hut.
Song Zhifan was dressed in a green robe. He was in high spirits and wore a golden crown on his head. His handsome face was like a jade crown, making him look like a member of the royal family.
Lu Jun, on the other hand, was dressed in martial arts attire. His eyes were bright and his face was filled with killing intent.
Chu Li smiled. "Are you looking for Baili Na?"
"It's you?!" Lu Jun yelled.
Chu Li smiled. "As someone from the High Duke's Public House, he betrayed the Public House. He deserves to die. I've already killed him, so there's no need to look for him."
"Did you really kill Elder Baili?" Lu Jun glared at him while gritting his teeth. His handsome face looked ferocious.
Although he did not show it, he was sincerely grateful to Chu Li who was disguised as Baili Na. He had always planned to help him enter the Church to cultivate the Mystical Arts and Antique Studies to make up for the Sacrifice Formula.
From his point of view, Chu Li's Baili Na had aged prematurely because he cultivated the Sacrifice Formula and later the Sacrifice Divine Power. He must cultivate the Ageless Longevity Technique to make up for and recover his body. He was determined to help Chu Li cultivate the Ageless Longevity Technique.
He did not expect Baili Na to disappear without a trace. It was as if there was no such person, so he had been doubting him.
When he heard what Chu Li said, his doubts disappeared and turned into guilt, which then turned into anger.
Chu Li smiled faintly. "He's not far from dead."
"What did you do to him?" Lu Jun scoffed.
Chu Li shook his head. "It'll be hard for you to see him in the future … Leader Song, shall we start?"
"Where's the Heaven Killing Sword?" Song Zhifan's gaze fell on Xiao Qi's face before he slowly turned away. He was jealous of Chu Li.
As the leader of the Church, he had high hopes and the dreams of his ancestors. He had been cultivating like a monk since he was young. He was almost always in Isolated Cultivation and training, so he did not have the time to care about women.
While cultivating was boring and painful, he supported himself by looking forward to the future. He dreamed of becoming an Enlightened Master and killing Enlightened Masters like dogs. When that time came, he could get any kind of beauty with a wave of his hand.
Unfortunately, after he became an Enlightened Master, he realized that beautiful women were rare in the world. It was not easy to bump into them. He had high standards and was dismissive of ordinary women. It was his first time seeing a beautiful woman like Xiao Qi.
His desire to kill Chu Li grew stronger. Chu Li was not worthy of such a beautiful woman!
All men would think that the men around a beautiful woman were not worthy of her. It was better for them, especially those who thought highly of themselves.
Chu Li shook his head. "If you defeat me, you'll naturally hand over the Heaven Killing Sword."
"It won't be too late to fight after seeing the Heaven Killing Sword," Song Zhifan said. "If you don't have the Heaven Killing Sword, you're not worthy of me!"
After his spirit became stronger, his Life and Death Scripture improved imperceptibly. His concealment technique became more profound, so Song Zhifan did not notice it.
Chu Li smiled. "Forget it then. If you don't want to fight, then don't."
"Alright!" Song Zhifan looked at him calmly. He did not look at Xiao Qi at all, but he tried his best to show that he was better than Chu Li in front of Xiao Qi. He said, "Then don't blame me for being ruthless and hurting the lady next to me."
"My wife, Xiao Qi." Chu Li said, "It won't be too late to say that if you have the ability."
"I can kill you like killing a chicken. If it wasn't for the Heaven Killing Sword, you'd be dead!" Song Zhifan smiled calmly.
Chu Li shook his head and laughed. "Leader Song's martial arts is ordinary, but you talk big. I'd like to learn a thing or two!"
"It won't be too late to find the Heaven Killing Sword after killing you." Song Zhifan said, "Don't think that you can hide the Heaven Killing Sword. I can sense the existence of the Heaven Killing Sword. It's in that direction, right?"
He suddenly pointed to the south.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and nodded with a smile. "You're quite capable indeed."
That direction was the direction of the Hundred-Thousand Hills. It seemed that he could indeed sense the Heaven Killing Sword. The more it was like that, the more he could not let him get it.
"Sigh … Then I'll send you to heaven first." Song Zhifan shook his head. "Third Lady Xiao, forgive me for being rude."
Xiao Qi said, "What does Leader Song want?"
Song Zhifan puffed up his chest and said slowly, "To unify the martial arts world!"
