"You've become an Enlightened Master?" Xiao Qi asked.
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "I was lucky!"
Xiao Qi said, "Then just now …? “
"It's just a Heavenly Punishment." Chu Li shook his head. "It seems like Grandmaster Outland has this habit. Once one becomes an Enlightened Master, lightning will strike."
"Are you really okay?" Xiao Qi asked.
Chu Li shook his head. "I'm fine, I've never been better."
Everyone suddenly realized that Chu Li had returned to normal.
His old and frail appearance had disappeared and he had turned into a young man full of vigor. Moreover, he was in high spirits and his azure eyes were shining with electricity.
This was real lightning, and not an illusion formed by his eyes being too bright.
This kind of lightning really had the power to hurt people. They only stared at his azure blue eyes a few times, and they already felt a burning pain. This was just an unintentional leak. If he really concentrated on his eyes, perhaps it would be even more terrifying.
"Enlightened Master …" Xiao Qi shook her head helplessly.
Once Chu Li became an Enlightened Master, it meant that their fate as a married couple would gradually fade. They might even drift apart and become strangers.
This was because Enlightened Masters had a strong restraining effect on non-Heavenly Masters. Once they got close, Enlightened Masters would continuously hurt non-Heavenly Masters.
This was especially true between a married couple. Unless the other person did not know martial arts and did not trigger an inner energy reaction, they would be more and more injured when they were together. Their lives might even be in danger.
Chu Li knew this, so he would definitely think of ways to avoid it. He might even not be intimate with her.
Chu Li smiled. "Madam, don't worry. I have a way."
"What way?" Xiao Qi did not care about the others around and asked in surprise.
Chu Li said, "I can cripple my martial arts and recover them at any time. Don't forget my abilities."
"Won't that delay things?" Xiao Qi frowned. "What if there's an emergency or someone ambushes you and you lose your life?"
Chu Li smiled. "How can there be such a coincidence? Moreover, Enlightened Masters are very sensitive. If someone ambushes me, I'll sense danger in advance."
"… That's true." Xiao Qi nodded.
She knew that Chu Li's intuition was much better than that of ordinary people. When he was still a Grandmaster, he was not inferior to an Enlightened Master. Now that he had become an Enlightened Master, it was only natural that his intuition would be stronger. She was sure that he would be able to sense danger earlier.
Lu Yu Rong and Siao Shi were exceptionally intelligent, they naturally understood what the two of them were talking about. They looked at the two of them with a faint smile, they wanted to laugh but they held it in.
This was indeed rather awkward for a married couple.
"Junior Brother, the Realm Beyond Heaven let you off just like that?" Dong Jianxin was still in disbelief.
Based on what he knew, the Realm Beyond Heaven would not easily allow anyone to cultivate to become a God. They would destroy such Gods at all costs to prevent them from disrupting the current order.
The Apotheosized God was already very stable now, and everyone accepted it. If there was someone like Chu Li who cultivated to become a God, it would definitely cause discussion and dissatisfaction.
The Grandmasters would definitely kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. Chu Li was that chicken. If they failed to kill him, more and more people would come after them.
Regardless of whether the later generations could become Gods or not, the world's situation would definitely change and order would be re-established. What was even more terrifying was that if the later generations were to all cultivate to become Gods instead of waiting for the Realm Beyond Avalon to be sealed, where would the authority of the Realm Beyond Avalon be?
Chu Li said, "You're right, Senior Brother. I think there's a backup plan, it's just that it hasn't shown itself yet."
"Then we must be extremely careful. They have come with ill intentions." Dong Jian said in his heart.
Chu Li nodded and smiled. "Senior Brother, you should be worrying about how to take over the hill master's position now."
"You are now an Empyrean Deity, so you are naturally the Mountain Chieftain." Dong Jianxin shook his head. "I have no hope."
Chu Li said, "That might not be the case. Master might have a way."
Dong Jianxin showed a helpless look.
He truly didn't want to take over as a heavenly deity. The responsibility was too great. However, now that his junior apprentice brother had become a heavenly deity, the Immortal Attraction Mountain would no longer be a threat. The pressure on him had actually lessened.
Even so, the chances of him becoming a Heavenly God were extremely slim.
Chu Li smiled. "Master will be back today."
Back then, he had set a deadline of one month. Today was the deadline. Master would definitely ask for his choice.
He suddenly felt that he was lucky enough to become an Enlightened Master due to all sorts of coincidences. If he didn't save Lu Yurong, without her help in comprehension, he wouldn't be able to become an Enlightened Master in a month. Today, there was only one choice, to become an Enlightened Master.
Although he didn't want to become an Enlightened Master, he couldn't be willful when he thought of the responsibilities of the Immortal Attraction Mountain.
As they spoke, a dragon's roar came from the sky.
Then, a golden light appeared between the clouds and looked at Chu Li from a hundred miles up in the sky.
A blue light flashed in Chu Li's eyes. He looked at the golden dragon and saw the strange look in its eyes. In the past, the golden dragon didn't even look at him and couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.
He looked at the golden dragon in the distance thoughtfully. The golden dragon's look must have had a deeper meaning, but he couldn't understand it at the moment.
Zhou Dunli floated down and looked at Chu Li with a serious expression.
Chu Li fist saluted. "Master!"
The three women fist saluted as well.
Dong Jianxin fist saluted and smiled. "Master, Junior Brother really became an Enlightened Master. It's a miracle!"
"Mm." Zhou Dunli nodded and looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled. "Is there something wrong?"
"You …" Zhou Dunli shook his head helplessly. "Take care of yourself!"
He emphasized on each word as he glanced at the sky.
Chu Li immediately understood and nodded. "Yes, thank you, Master."
He understood Zhou Dunli's meaning. The Outland still wanted to deal with him, so he should be careful and not leave Goddess Attraction Mountain.
He could understand Zhou Dunli's meaning with these four words. Other than the tacit understanding between the master and disciple, it was also because he could use the Omniscient Mirror.
The Omniscient Mirror could see into the mind of an Enlightened Master.
This was the biggest gain for him. His divine powers were no longer restrained. After the Omniscient Mirror could be used, the Heavenly Star Insight Skill also improved and became more powerful.
In this way, he could predict the fate of an Enlightened Master.
Zhou Dunli looked at Dong Jianxin. "Jianxin, get ready to receive the empowerment!"
"Master, forget it." Dong Jianxin shook his head. "It's enough for Goddess Attraction Mountain to have a Junior Brother. He's the most suitable to be the Hill Master. I can't do it."
"You're the Senior Brother. If you can't do it, who can?" Zhou Dunli said sternly. "Success or failure, we'll see after we try. We can't retreat before trying!"
"… I know without trying," Dong Jianxin said.
Chu Li asked, "Master, do we have to go up?"
"There's no other way." Zhou Dunli sighed. "I don't want to get involved in the war of the Outland so early. Unfortunately, I have no choice."
"Sigh …" Chu Li said, "Why don't I go up in place of Master?"
As soon as he said this, the three women's eyes widened. Dong Jianxin's eyes widened too.
Zhou Dunli was stunned for a moment before he smiled. "You're really imaginative!"
Chu Li said, "I seem to have heard that Enlightened Masters who cultivate to become Gods can enter the Outland at will. Is there such a rule?"
"You know about this?" Zhou Dunli was surprised.
Chu Li said, "I've heard about it."
He only knew about it from the thought that flashed through Zhou Dunli's mind.
Zhou Dunli sighed. "There is such a rule. It was established a thousand years ago. Now … almost no one knows about it."
Chu Li said, "The Outland deliberately ignored it and blocked the news. But if I step into the Outland, I can return, right?"
