Chu Li's footsteps were calm and slow, as if he was taking a leisurely stroll.
He knew the location of the secret vault. It was in a cave in the northwest of the floating mountain. There were few people there and the surroundings were bare. It was almost impossible to sneak into the vicinity unknowingly.
The jade box in his arms seemed to be emitting a cold aura, reminding him of the existence of the Tiger Taming Technique.
He had an urge to take the Tiger Taming Technique and disappear. It did not matter even if his identity as Bai Li Na was exposed. This was the best opportunity to obtain the Tiger Taming Technique. Once the Tiger Taming Technique entered the secret vault, it would be impossible for him to break in again.
However, once Bai Li Na's identity was exposed, all his efforts would disappear.
If he could succeed and stir up internal strife, he might be able to enter the secret vault again and obtain the Tiger Taming Technique. He might even be able to enter the secret vault to choose a secret skill or divine power if he made a contribution.
Therefore, there were many opportunities to enter the secret vault. He just needed to wait.
However, he did not want to wait now.
The appearance of the Tiger Taming Technique was a great motivation for him. He once again cheered up and escaped from the predicament of having nowhere to go. He could reinvigorate himself and set off again, striding forward.
He did not have much time. One by one, the Enlightened Masters were getting stronger. The opponents around him were getting stronger. If it was not for the deterrence of the Deity Killing Sword, Monk Lun Ming would have already made a move. If they continued to get stronger, the Deity Killing Sword might not be of any use.
He needed to keep moving forward and sprint on the Enlightened Master's Path. He wanted to catch up with them faster and even surpass them. He wanted to stand at the top and look down on all living beings, no longer bound by the Grandmaster's Boundary.
Thinking of this, he once again had a strong urge and clenched his fists.
He took a deep breath and slowly calmed his heart. The scene of entering the basilica was slowly replayed clearly. He played the expressions of Song Zhifan, Lu Jun, and Elder Fang one by one. He saw every detail clearly.
In the end, he seemed to have realized something. He shook his head and smiled.
He thought about it and decided to take the risk because he had the Omniscient Mirror. The Omniscient Mirror was far beyond what others could imagine and could do what others could not.
He did not open the jade box. Instead, he pressed his hand on the box and activated the Omniscient Mirror. A layer of invisible energy enveloped the jade box, preventing his vision from entering the box. He could only wander around outside.
After some thought, a God Killing Needle slowly emerged from the void of his mind. It was like a real needle that slowly probed into the jade box and silently made a small hole in it. After the God Killing Needle retreated, the jade box returned to its original state. An invisible force filled up the hole and sealed it tightly again. The Omniscient Mirror could not penetrate it.
A smile appeared on Chu Li's face. His footsteps slowed down as if he was deep in thought.
Once again, the Omniscient Mirror followed the God Killing Needle into the box and observed the thick booklet. It was indeed a newly copied heart technique. He could not help but feel a little surprised. Could it be that this was a real copy and not a fake?
It was not difficult for the Omniscient Mirror to read without opening the book. He read it page by page clearly and imprinted it into his mind.
When he walked to the entrance of the cave, he had already finished reading the Tiger Taming Technique. He also saw that the booklet had been tampered with. Two of the pages' footers had become soft. It was only a small piece, the size of a needle's eye. If he flipped it, a small powder would fall. It was so small that it was unnoticeable.
If it was not for the Omniscient Mirror's meticulous nature, he would not have noticed it.
Chu Li immediately understood Elder Fang's intention. She was still worried and was inspecting him. This woman was really suspicious. It was also because of this that she was able to take charge of the Heaven's Punishment Hall.
"Who is it?" An elder in linen opened the cave's circular stone door. He squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Li against the sunlight. He scoffed, "This is a forbidden area. Unless you have the Bishop's permission, you are not allowed to come here!"
Chu Li fist saluted, "Senior, I am Baili Na. I am here under the Bishop's order to pass this Tiger Taming Technique to the secret vault."
"Hmm, Tiger Taming Technique …" The elder in linen was tall and burly. He stood in front of him like an iron tower. He said slowly, "Is it the Spirit Beast Sect's Tiger Taming Technique?"
Chu Li shook his head, "I don't know."
"Since it's called the Tiger Taming Technique, it must be correct." The elder in linen looked excited. He rubbed his hands together and took the jade box from Chu Li.
Chu Li said, "Please give me the token."
"Okay." The elder in linen looked at the jade box and nodded in satisfaction.
He took out a jade pendant and passed it to Chu Li, "Just give this to Elder Fang."
"Yes." Chu Li fist saluted and left.
As soon as he left, Elder Fang fluttered over.
The elder in linen fist saluted and passed the jade box to Elder Fang.
Elder Fang chuckled, "How is this little fella?"
"His aptitude is not bad." The elder in linen shook his head, "Elder Fang, have you taken a fancy to this little fella?"
"If he can pass the inspection, we can send him out." Elder Fang said, "He's a smart fella."
"Our church is lacking this kind of fella." The elder in linen nodded, "Elder Fang's decision will never be wrong."
Elder Fang glanced at him with her phoenix eyes, shook her head and opened the jade box. She looked at the heart technique of the Tiger Taming Technique and nodded in satisfaction. There was no powder inside. It was obvious that it had not been searched.
It seemed like she had made a mistake. This Baili Na was not Chu Li.
If it was really Chu Li, she did not believe that he could really resist. Even if his identity was exposed, it was worth it to snatch this secret manual. Moreover, this was the real heart technique of the Tiger Taming Technique and not a fake.
This heart technique was insignificant to the Church of Longevity. After all, the Ageless Longevity Technique was much more profound than the Tiger Taming Technique. More importantly, it was not the era of the Spirit Beast Sect. The spirit beasts were all in the Hundred-Thousand Hills. Even if they had the Tiger Taming Technique, they could not cultivate it.
However, it was different for Chu Li. He had already cultivated the Dragon Taming Technique. If he cultivated the Tiger Taming Technique, in addition to the Vermillion Bird Technique and the Black Tortoise Technique, he would have the hope of becoming a god. It was needless to say how important it was.
"Elder Fang, how was it?" The elder in linen asked.
Elder Fang nodded in satisfaction. "I passed."
"Congratulations, Elder Fang. The Church of Longevity has grown stronger again." The elder in linen smiled.
"Mm, you can read this heart technique but it's best not to cultivate it. Otherwise, you might hurt yourself." Elder Fang glanced at him and said faintly, "The Tiger Taming Technique is different from other heart techniques."
"Yes, Elder Fang." The elder in linen nodded.
Elder Fang passed the jade box to him and fluttered away.
Chu Li returned to his courtyard and started to figure out the Tiger Taming Technique. He realized that it was similar to the Dragon Taming Technique but there were also some differences. However, the path was of the same origin. It was just that the specific channeling route was different.
Time passed by unknowingly. When the sun set, Lu Jun knocked on the door of his courtyard with the smell of alcohol. He sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.
Chu Li sat down and smiled at Lu Jun. "Brother Lu, did you suffer a loss? You don't look so good."
"Sigh … Don't mention it." Lu Jun shook his head and sighed. He let out a breath that reeked of alcohol.
He told Chu Li what happened and said dejectedly, "It seems like I'm not as good as the Tiger Taming Technique in the bishop's eyes."
Chu Li quickly looked around and frowned. "Brother Lu, don't talk nonsense!"
"Why can't I talk about it?" Lu Jun scoffed. "I'm disappointed."
