Chu Li quickly said, "Leader, an Innate Master can't move an inch in the Hundred-Thousand Hills, right? If you encounter a powerful spirit beast, I'm afraid … "
"It's okay. Although I'm only at the Innate Mastery's Boundary, I have the Ageless Longevity Technique. Even if I encounter a powerful spirit beast, I can swallow it. Moreover, those spirit beasts are very arrogant. If they encounter an Innate Mastery like me, they won't even bother. "
"Moreover, you have the Sacrificial Divine Technique," Elder Fang said slowly.
Song Zhifan smiled, "Exactly! With ten times the Innate Mastery and the Ageless Longevity Technique, you are comparable to a Grandmaster. As long as you don't provoke those rank two and rank one spirit beasts, you can protect yourself. "
"But what if you encounter rank two or even rank one spirit beasts?" Chu Li asked.
Song Zhifan said, "They won't care about me."
"In short, I still feel that it's dangerous," Chu Li sighed.
Song Zhifan said, "How can there be a huge gain without any risk in this world?"
Chu Li said, "But it's too dangerous. Why don't you focus on training and defeat Chu Li with hard work?"
Song Zhifan scoffed, "I'm training hard and so is he."
"But his Dragon Taming Technique doesn't have much power. It's impossible to beat our Ageless Longevity Technique," Chu Li quickly said.
Song Zhifan shook his head, "He can't be underestimated. In short, I've made up my mind. There's no need to say more!"
Chu Li sighed helplessly, "Please reconsider, Leader."
"Shut up!" Song Zhifan's face darkened and he stared at him coldly, "Are you arrogant because of my favor? Do you think you can influence my decision?"
"I don't dare!" Chu Li quickly said.
Elder Fang said, "Forget it, Leader. He's just trying his best. He doesn't know how powerful you really are."
Song Zhifan glared at Chu Li, "You will return to the floating mountain today. You are not allowed to leave without my permission!"
"… Yes," Chu Li sighed helplessly.
Elder Fang shook her head.
She realized that ever since the Leader left the mountain, his temper changed. He became more and more stubborn and could not be persuaded. Her advice was unpleasant to the ear and the Leader would not listen. It was better to say less to avoid alienating him.
After the meal, Chu Li and Elder Fang returned to the floating mountain.
The two of them used their Qing Gong to leave the valley.
"Bishop's move is too dangerous." Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "It's not a wise move. It's a desperate move."
"Sect Leader has no other choice." Elder Fang said, "Originally, I thought that it would be a piece of cake to obtain the Heaven Slaughtering Sword, and from then on, I would proudly roam the world and no one would be able to control it. The Floating Mountain would dominate the Wulin world in one fell swoop … But I did not expect to encounter so many setbacks at this step, and repeatedly fail to succeed. Although he did not return to the Cult, he must have guessed that the voices of opposition in the Cult are getting louder and louder. If this continues, I am afraid that in less than a year, all the Elders will oppose coming out of the mountain and force the Cult Leader to retract his decision."
"I see." Chu Li suddenly understood.
Elder Fang said, "However, if Cult Master can settle down and return to the floating mountain to cultivate for another year, there will be fewer opponents in the cult. Those stubborn old people like to play it safe."
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "The bishop is still holding back his anger against them."
"Sigh …" Elder Fang shook her head. "I shouldn't have said this to you."
Chu Li said, "I won't tell anyone."
Two days later, Chu Li returned to the floating mountain and began to cultivate in isolation in his courtyard.
— —
The air on the floating mountain in the early morning was exceptionally fresh. Chu Li suddenly appeared in front of Dong Jianxin's basilica and saw that Dong Jianxin was slowly practicing his fist art in his courtyard. His movements were leisurely and at ease.
After not seeing him for a while, Dong Jianxin had improved greatly. It was obvious that he had gained a lot from his isolation.
"Senior Brother." He took a step into Dong Jianxin's courtyard, gave a fist salute, and smiled. "Are you still in isolation?"
"Isolation can't stop you." Dong Jianxin scoffed. "Take a seat."
He withdrew his stance and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.
Chu Li sat opposite him and took out a snow-white silver hoop the size of a bowl. He handed it to Dong Jianxin. "Senior Brother, do you recognize this?"
"Huh?" Dong Jianxin was stunned. He quickly snatched the silver hoop and said in surprise, "Could this be … a Spirit Beast Hoop?"
"That's right." Chu Li smiled. "It seems that Senior Brother recognizes this item."
"You actually got your hands on a Spirit Beast Hoop!" Dong Jianxin stared at the Spirit Beast Hoop excitedly. He gently caressed it as if he was caressing a beautiful woman's snow-white skin. He was extremely careful and gentle, afraid that he would damage it.
Chu Li said, "I got this item by chance. Senior Brother, do you know what it's used for?"
"This Spirit Beast Hoop is very useful!" Dong Jianxin said excitedly. "This is a unique artifact of the Spirit Beast Sect."
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Brother, please enlighten me!"
Dong Jianxin carefully caressed the Spirit Beast Hoop and sighed. "This item can tame Spirit Beasts. It's a powerful treasure."
"Tame …" Chu Li pondered. "In other words, it can be used to defeat Spirit Beasts?"
"That's right." Dong Jianxin nodded. "The reason why the Spirit Beast Sect was so powerful back then was because of the Spirit Beast Hoop. Without the Spirit Beast Hoop, even the Dragon Taming Technique would be useless. They couldn't control Spirit Beasts at all! … The Spirit Beast Sect wasn't like us now. If we want to tame a dragon, we have to start from a snake and cultivate it from scratch for hundreds of years. The Spirit Beast Sect didn't cultivate Spirit Beasts themselves. Instead, they directly controlled Spirit Beasts and used the Spirit Beast Hoop to turn them into their mounts. Spirit Beasts weren't companions or friends, they were just subordinates. Think about how prestigious it was! "
Chu Li smiled. "Can you tame a Golden Dragon that's beyond rank one?"
"Of course!" Dong Jianxin said slowly.
Chu Li shook his head. "It's hard to imagine. That's beyond rank one!"
"As long as you're an Enlightened Master, you can turn a Golden Dragon into a mount." Dong Jianxin revealed a hint of fanaticism. In the end, he sighed and shook his head. "Unfortunately, the Spirit Beast Sect has been destroyed. It's really a case of declining after reaching its peak."
Chu Li said, "Senior Brother, do you know how to use this Spirit Beast Hoop?"
"From what I know, it needs to be sacrificially refined first." Dong Jianxin sighed. "But it's useless for you. Master is fine. Unfortunately, he already has a Golden Dragon and doesn't need it."
Chu Li asked, "Why is it useless?"
"Because only Enlightened Masters can sacrifice this." Dong Jianxin shook the Spirit Beast Hoop lightly.
Chu Li frowned. "Enlightened Masters?"
Dong Jianxin said, "Only Enlightened Masters can control the Spirit Beast Hoop. Grandmasters are useless."
"… I want to try," Chu Li said.
"Alright." Dong Jianxin said, "I know how to sacrifice it. I'll find it for you now."
This Junior Brother of his could do what others couldn't. He might be able to break through the limits of Grandmasters and Enlightened Masters.
Chu Li was overjoyed. He gave a fist salute.
Dong Jianxin waved his hand and stood up. He returned to his basilica and found a thick ancient book on the bookshelf. He returned to Chu Li and handed it to him. "This is the sacrifice method for the Spirit Beast Hoop. Try it yourself. But remember not to force yourself. Otherwise, you'll suffer from internal deviation!"
Chu Li took the ancient book and nodded with a smile. "Senior Brother, please protect me."
"Alright," Dong Jianxin said.
Chu Li immediately flipped open the ancient book as if he was just flipping through a book. He did not stop to read. After a short while, he finished flipping through the book and closed his eyes to ponder.
