Chu Li smiled. "You still need my help, tell me about it."
He was not in a hurry to agree.
He had a deep friendship with Fa Yuan and they helped each other. However, he was wary of Liao Ming and could not promise anything.
Liao Ming said calmly, "I'm preparing to ascend to heaven in advance."
Chu Li was shocked. "It's not the time yet, right?"
"Under normal circumstances, I would have to wait for another two years." Liao Ming nodded calmly. "But the situation is pressing. If I don't leave now, I'm afraid …"
He shook his head as he spoke.
Chu Li immediately understood what he meant.
Fa Yuan's martial arts skills improved rapidly, but it could not stop the rise of geniuses. After the Deva descended, there would definitely be more geniuses cultivated and unearthed. Originally, Fa Yuan needed to wait two years before taking over the position.
Now, it seemed like there would be someone more powerful in two years. Just like himself, he went from a Scribe without any martial arts to a top-notch master in less than two years. There might be a second Chu Li.
To be safe, it was better to let Fa Yuan take over as soon as possible.
"What do you want me to do, Master?" Chu Li asked.
Liao Ming said, "Now that the world is in chaos, I won't have peace even if I want to ascend to heaven. There will be people coming to cause trouble, even Deva will come to disturb me."
Chu Li nodded and looked at him.
He guessed what Liao Ming wanted him to do but pretended not to know. He wanted Liao Ming to say it himself.
Liao Ming sighed. "Almsgiver Chu, come and protect Fa Yuan, what do you think?"
Chu Li smiled. "Of course, it's my duty!"
Liao Ming sighed in relief. He smiled and pressed his palms together. "Thank you, Almsgiver Chu!"
Chu Li pressed his palms together. "You're welcome, Master. I'm not helping because of you, I'm helping Fa Yuan!"
"Of course!" Liao Ming nodded. "But I have to remind you, Almsgiver Chu, don't kill Deva if you can."
Chu Li frowned. "There's something I don't understand. Can Deva kill mortals?"
"No." Liao Ming shook his head. Monk Liao Ming shook his head, "Everything has its cause and effect. The power of karma is so strong that even a celestial cannot go against it. Killing mortals is a grave sin. Killing one more person means one more sin. When we return to the Realm Beyond Heavens, we will be punished even more severely."
"What punishment?" Chu Li scoffed.
"The lightest punishment would be losing one's lifespan and cultivation base. The most severe punishment would be direct reincarnation and banishment from the Realm Beyond Heavens." Monk Liao Ming sighed. "This is already the heaviest punishment."
"You won't let them disappear into thin air?" Chu Li scoffed.
Monk Liao Ming shook his head slowly, "No."
Chu Li's face darkened as he slowly nodded.
This was clearly not treating mortals as humans and could not be exchanged for their lives.
Monk Liao Ming said, "A celestial killing a mortal is a grave sin, but a mortal killing a celestial, the sin is even heavier … Almsgiver Chu, I don't have to say anymore, you should know the consequences."
"What are the consequences of me killing five Celestials?" Chu Li scoffed.
Monk Liao Ming sighed and said, "When you reach the Realm Beyond Heaven, even if you don't reincarnate, I'm afraid your cultivation will be crippled and you will become an ordinary celestial being. At that time, how can the celestial beings you killed not come to seek revenge? You can imagine how difficult it is to live. "
"What will happen to the Deva I've killed after they return to the Grandmaster's Boundary?" Chu Li asked.
"They will lose their cultivation," Monk Liao Ming said, "and become an ordinary celestial being."
Chu Li nodded slowly, "If that's the case, then kill them!"
"Almsgiver Chu, be careful!" Monk Liao Ming said in a low voice.
Chu Li scoffed, "Who knows what will happen in the future? Kill them first!"
"Sigh …" Monk Liao Ming looked at him helplessly and said slowly, "Heaven's power is like a prison, no one can resist it. Almsgiver Chu, think carefully, that's all I have to say!"
Chu Li said, "Thank you for the reminder, when will it be?"
"In three days," Monk Liao Ming said.
Chu Li said, "Alright, I will go to the Tempest Temple in two days."
"Thank you, Almsgiver Chu." Monk Liao Ming pressed his palms together and slowly disappeared.
Chu Li pondered for a moment, then suddenly disappeared in a flash.
—
A tall middle-aged man dressed in a purple robe stood at the peak of the mountain. The cold mountain breeze fluttered his purple robe. He looked down at the vast land with a dazed expression.
Initially, when he received the task to return to this world, he was somewhat happy. After all, he was born and raised here and had left for two hundred years. Now that he was back, he felt that things remained the same, but the people had changed.
However, at this time, the martial arts world had been turned upside down. Chu Li had risen to power, and Du Feng in the south and Chu Li in the north. Du Feng had disappeared without a trace. It was said that he was in isolated cultivation after receiving an attack from an Enlightened Master and had not appeared since. Some people thought that he was dead, some thought that he was cultivating a divine technique.
Chu Li, on the other hand, was like a comet streaking across the sky, shining brightly. He killed an Enlightened Master with his status as a Grandmaster, and suppressed the Enlightened Master to the point where no one could stop him. It was a huge joke.
He returned to this world to strengthen the sect, to recruit more disciples, to train them into Grandmasters, and then to ascend to the Grandmaster's Boundary to strengthen the sect's strength in the Boundary.
If he wanted to strengthen the sect and recruit more qualified disciples, he would not know how long it would take if he had to search for them one by one. It was far better to let those qualified disciples come to him on their own.
If he wanted to do that, he would have to be famous and become the top master.
And if he wanted to be famous, the fastest way was to defeat Chu Li and amaze the world.
Unfortunately, Chu Li was too strange. He did not know what sword technique he used, but he could actually kill a Celestial. If he really returned to the Boundary with a face full of dirt, he would definitely become a laughing stock and be demoted to the lowest level disciple of the sect. He did not know how many years it would take to climb up from the beginning.
Thinking of this, his fighting spirit rose again. He could not admit defeat like this. Even if he died, he had to drag Chu Li with him. If he could kill Chu Li, he would have an explanation when he returned to the Boundary and could be absolved of most of his crimes.
Just as he thought of this, Chu Li slowly appeared behind him, silently and then slashed down with his sword.
The purple-robed middle-aged man's body suddenly shone brightly, as if a scorching sun had fallen down. He had already performed the secret skill of destroying everything indiscriminately. All of his power burst forth. After this attack, he would definitely die, but he could also kill Chu Li.
Chu Li suddenly retreated and waved his long sword.
"Ding ding ding ding …" The invisible force hit the long sword and was shattered by the sword light.
The remaining force hit Chu Li's white robe. The white robe shook violently, and he retreated a hundred meters in the void.
Another light door appeared in the sky, and then a white light shot towards the light door. The figure of the purple robed middle-aged man appeared in front of the light door. He looked down at Chu Li with some unwillingness, then went into the light door and disappeared.
Chu Li frowned. The attack of a Celestial before his death was really powerful. Fortunately, he had the Diamond Indestructible Body, otherwise, he would have died.
He disappeared again, and the next moment, he appeared next to another Celestial, waved his sword, and killed him without any hindrance.
He did not let any of the remaining Celestials go. With the palm force that they left in his body, Chu Li found them one by one and then killed them one by one. He did not see any Celestials coming to kill him.
Chu Li's mood was a little heavy. He knew that once he stepped into the Boundary, the road would be extremely difficult because he had offended too many people, not only Celestials, but also Enlightened Masters.
At this point, he could only desperately cultivate and reach the peak. Even if he went to the Boundary, he would reach the level of Song Wuji and would not have to suffer anymore.
