Although Li Xinghe agreed, he knew that there was no hope at all.
How could a study like the Heavenly Astral Jade Stamp be passed on to an outsider? It was like giving away the Heaven's Retribution Sword to an outsider. It was the dumbest thing to do. How could a smart person like Chu Li do that? There was no way he would pass it on to himself.
However, since he had said so, he naturally had to pretend to believe him under such circumstances.
Chu Li smiled. "It seems like you don't believe me."
"Of course I do." Li Xinghe said, "Brother Chu, your breadth of mind is different from ordinary people. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lived until today."
Chu Li shook his head and could not help but laugh. "You can be soft and hard at the same time. I'm really worried."
Li Xinghe smiled. "No matter how strong I am, I'm not Brother Chu's match. Moreover, I won't make an enemy out of Brother Chu."
"Sigh …" Chu Li shook his head and sighed. He thought of his master, Zhou Dunli. Being betrayed by his best friend, that must be a terrible feeling. "I hope so, but Brother Li, remember, the next time you offend me, I'll send you straight to the Grandmaster's Boundary. Rumble!
"Many thanks, Brother Chu." Li Xinghe heaved a sigh of relief.
Chu Li waved his hand. "It's not peaceful in the Fairy's Capital. Brother Li, you should return to the Imperial Residence as soon as possible."
"I'll make a trip back to the Stargazing Pavilion before returning to the King's Mansion," said Li Xinghe.
Chu Li nodded, closed fist saluted, and gently pushed his palm out.
Li Xinghe immediately flew up and shot out like a rock. He flew further and further away until he vanished without a trace.
Siao Shi arrived gracefully and frowned, "This Li Xinghe is part of the attack on Goddess Attraction Mountain?"
Xiao Qi and Lu Yurong also arrived gracefully, their clothes fluttering in the wind.
The two girls also looked at him curiously.
Chu Li nodded lightly and told him everything that had happened.

Within the [Light Palace], Sun Mingyue, dressed in white, was reading files behind a table.
Her graceful body didn't move. Only her eyes moved. She glanced over the file and then moved on to the next one.
Time seemed to have stopped flowing at this moment. The entire hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
The sound of light footsteps broke the silence. Li Meng hopped in with her deerskin shoes.
As soon as she came in, she called out, "Master!"
Sun Mingyue put down the file and looked over.
Li Meng's face was filled with excitement. She was beaming with joy. "Master, have you heard about it?"
"What?" Sun Mingyue opened the other scroll and asked casually.
Li Meng said, "News from Martial Uncle Chu!"
"Oh?" Sun Mingyue calmly said, "What news?"
"Master's Junior Chu fought against the seven great sects of Fu Dynasty and the emperor of Fu Dynasty." Li Meng danced with joy as she shouted, "The Celestials of the seven major sects have set foot on Goddess Attraction Mountain, and even Fu Dynasty's Emperor, Tang Xu! They're going to take advantage of the fact that Goddess Attraction Mountain's master is heavily injured to add insult to injury. They're going to take advantage of the situation and destroy Goddess Attraction Mountain!"
"Destroy the Immortal Attraction Mountain?" Sun Mingyue chuckled and shook her head.
Li Meng said, "I heard that Mountain Lord Zhou was heavily injured in the Realm Beyond Heaven. He needs to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time to recover. Moreover, the golden dragon protecting Goddess Attraction Mountain is also injured, so Goddess Attraction Mountain is at its weakest."
"And then?" Sun Mingyue asked.
Li Meng immediately became even more excited as she said, "I didn't expect Goddess Attraction Mountain to be protected by two Golden Dragons. Then, another Golden Dragon appeared and killed the Fu Dynasty's emperor, the Patriarch who descended from the Sky Beyond Heaven. It also killed the twenty Celestials gathered by the Tang Clan's Patriarch."
"Mm." Sun Mingyue nodded thoughtfully. This was actually nothing surprising. Every sect had a trump card, and it seemed that the other Golden Dragon of Goddess Attraction Mountain was the trump card. It was indeed powerful enough.
Li Meng continued, "Those Celestials were very powerful. I think they used some kind of secret skill to escape. The Golden Dragon chased after them, and then the Celestial Patriarchs of the other seven sects of the Fu Dynasty appeared."
Sun Mingyue nodded slightly. "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
Li Meng clapped her hands and said, "That's right. Those people are very powerful, hehe. But Master's Junior Chu is even more powerful!"
"Chu Li made his move?" Sun Mingyue asked with interest.
Li Meng nodded vigorously. "Master's Junior Chu drew his sword and killed all of them with one swing of his sword. There were twenty Celestials, and they were all Celestial Patriarchs of the seven major sects. Even when they joined forces, Master's Junior Chu killed them all with one swing of his sword!"
A smile appeared on Sun Mingyue's cold face. "He's indeed extraordinary."
"It's more than extraordinary. From now on, no Celestial Patriarch would dare to disrespect Master's Junior Chu!" Li Meng said excitedly.
Sun Mingyue smiled. "I hope so."
Li Meng said, "Master's Junior Chu displayed such a powerful sword technique. Are there still people who are ignorant enough to provoke him?"
"Who can see past fame and fortune? Those who think that their cultivation level is high and want to be famous all want to defeat him," Sun Mingyue said plainly. "From now on, he's everyone's target."
"Then we'll see who can defeat Master's Junior Chu!" Li Meng scoffed.
Sun Mingyue smiled and shook her head.
Li Meng said, "Master, will Master's Junior Chu come over these few days?"
"He won't," Sun Mingyue said.
Li Meng was displeased. "Why won't he come?"
"He's very busy," Sun Mingyue said plainly. "If you have nothing better to do, go back and cultivate the Great Light Scripture a few more times."
"… Yes." Li Meng immediately lowered her head listlessly.
At this moment, she really wanted to meet Chu Li and witness his glory.
She already knew that Chu Li was powerful, but she did not expect him to be this powerful. Killing Enlightened Masters, Celestials, and Asuras was not considered powerful. However, killing twenty Celestials from the seven major sects in one go was completely different.
The Celestials from the seven major sects must be far more powerful than ordinary Celestials.
At this moment, Chu Li had transformed into Baili Na. His body grew taller and more muscular, and his face became older. He was like a vigorous pine tree standing at the foot of the floating mountain, looking up at the sky.
He raised his voice and shouted, "Disciple Baili Na requests an audience with the Bishop!"
His shout displayed his profound cultivation level. It echoed in the valley and spread far.
After the shout, there was no movement.
Chu Li frowned and raised his voice again. "Baili Na greets the Bishop!"
A person suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Lu Jun.
Lu Jun looked at Chu Li with a strange gaze.
Chu Li fist saluted and smiled. "Brother Lu, long time no see!"
"Elder Baili, where have you been?" Lu Jun stared at him with bright eyes.
Chu Li immediately smiled. "Thanks to the Bishop, I've been in Isolated Cultivation for a period of time. My martial arts have improved greatly."
"Isolated Cultivation?" Lu Jun frowned. "Where did you do it?"
"A valley near Startling Goose Mountain," Chu Li said. "After I came out of Isolated Cultivation, I realized that our floating mountain had disappeared. I finally followed Brother Lu's mark and found this place."
"You …" Lu Jun finally believed Chu Li.
In the beginning, he suspected that Chu Li was a traitor and had already betrayed the floating mountain. Otherwise, Chu Li would have appeared when the floating mountain gathered the disciples.
Chu Li was at Hundred-Thousand Hills then and did not receive the message. He missed the opportunity to return.
However, he did not want to abandon the identity of Baili Na. He chose to return as Baili Na instead of directly breaking into the floating mountain.
He guessed that there should be Celestials hiding in the floating mountain at this time. It was impossible that Song Wuji did not send Celestials to guard the floating mountain to prevent the Church of Longevity from being robbed by the Celestials who descended to the mortal world. The Church of Longevity had many treasured weapons.
Chu Li smiled. "Brother Lu, did I come back late?"
"Yes." Lu Jun patted his shoulder. "If you didn't come back, everyone would have thought that you were dead."
"My old bones are very hard. I won't die so easily." Chu Li smiled.
"Let's go. Follow me to see the Bishop," Lu Jun said.
The two of them leaped into the valley at the side and appeared on the floating mountain.
Chu Li felt a sense of familiarity. He sighed and took a deep breath. He smiled and looked like he was longing for something.
Lu Jun smiled as if he was in her shoes.
