Pang Shiji's aptitude was outstanding, but Zhou Jie's aptitude was not inferior to his. To be able to become a disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain meant that his aptitude was the best in the Fu Dynasty, and almost no one could compare to him. If Pang Shiji had not had a fortuitous encounter, it would have been impossible for him to surpass Zhou Jie.
?
On the other hand, once Zhou Jie calmed down and no longer harbored any hostility toward Chu Li, he calmed down and cultivated diligently. His progress was astonishing. Compared to Pang Shiji, Zhou Jie had a greater advantage. He had already learned the heart technique of Goddess Attraction Mountain, whereas Pang Shiji's heart technique was still the Great One Palace heart technique, which was far inferior to Goddess Attraction Mountain.
The two of them battled with each other, competing with each other, putting their lives on the line to cultivate, and both of them advanced by leaps and bounds. However, Pang Shiji was always suppressed, unable to turn the tables. Fortunately, he had a tough personality, and even though he fell behind, he was not discouraged, and continued to challenge relentlessly.
When Xiao Qi saw this, she began to feel anxious for him. However, Chu Li remained calm as if he did not know about it. He would occasionally come back, but he did not bother about it anymore. He only told Pang Shiji and Zhou Jie not to get serious because Goddess Attraction Mountain would not tolerate internal strife among its disciples.
In the backyard of King Ping's Imperial Residence, the night was hazy. Chu Li and King Ping were sitting in a gazebo. At night, the fragrance of flowers assailed their nostrils.
The two of them chatted as they sipped their drinks.
King Ping shook his head and sighed. "What a joke. How dare they make me the crown prince. What the hell is this!"
"Isn't that a good thing?" Chu Li smiled.
King Ping said, "How is this considered a good thing? I don't want to be the emperor! "
Chu Li smiled. "Your Royal Highness, things are different now. You don't have to worry about Xu An. He's cultivating hard in the temple and has no time to be distracted. It seems like he doesn't want to get his hands on the throne."
"Aren't you going to be the Emperor?" King Ping frowned. "Why did you change your mind?"
Back then, Chu Li had put in a lot of effort in order for Xu An to inherit the throne. He had avenged himself and fought for support. He had also made various arrangements. It was truly unbelievable that he had suddenly changed his mind.
"Now that the world is in chaos, he has great ambitions and wants to relieve the suffering of the people," Chu Li said.
King Ping said, "Only when you become an emperor can you relieve the suffering of the masses."
Chu Li shook his head. "I said the same thing, but he said that he wanted to recite Buddhist teachings to relieve the suffering of all living beings."
"In that case …" King Ping shook his head and said, "No, let him be the Crown Prince. I'm not pretending to be polite to you. I really don't want to be the Crown Prince, nor do I want to be the Emperor. I'm tired of fighting and killing. I still want to live a peaceful life!"
"Your Royal Highness has fallen into the land of gentleness." Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
"What's the point of fighting and killing?" King Ping scoffed. "You're just a puppet controlled by a Grandmaster. You might as well be a carefree Royal Highness like me."
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "Your Royal Highness, it's better for you to be the Crown Prince. Otherwise, your ancestors won't agree to it."
"Sigh …" King Ping looked helpless.
He couldn't do anything to Leng Zhifei. The second generation ancestor was wise and powerful, and he deeply worshipped him. He had always worshipped this ancestor since he was young, but he didn't expect to meet him here. He thought he would be at the Sky Beyond Heaven.
However, after meeting him, he realized that the ancestor was not as beautiful as he thought. He was overbearing and could not be disobeyed. He couldn't say no to him at all, and he could only obey his orders. Otherwise, he would definitely be reprimanded.
He originally rejected the position of Crown Prince, but Leng Zhifei personally came forward and forced him to accept it. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the Crown Prince.
Chu Li said, "Your Royal Highness, just be at ease and be the Crown Prince. Just let me know if you need anything."
"I'll have to trouble you in the future," King Ping said.
Chu Li nodded, gave a fist salute, and disappeared.
He appeared next to the ice pool in the Hundred-Thousand Hills.
The Azure Dragon and the Vitality Devouring Turtle were asleep at the bottom of the pool.
Chu Li smiled. This deep sleep was like hibernation, but it was an opportunity for them to greatly increase their strength. When they woke up, their strength would greatly increase, and they might even have a breakthrough. However, this sleep might take years or even decades.
They had extremely long lifespans, and the time they slept was also exceptionally long, far beyond what humans could compare.
A red shadow flashed, and the tiny Vermilion Bird appeared in front of him. It landed on his shoulder, and its voice appeared in his mind. "Help!"
Chu Li immediately understood its thoughts. He suddenly appeared in a mangrove forest, and saw the Vermilion Bird he saw last time. It was lying motionless in a nest woven from redwood branches, and it was barely breathing.
Chu Li shook his head helplessly, and reached out to touch its wings. Suddenly, a pure energy was injected into it.
The energy he injected was the inner energy of the Vermilion Bird Power. The Vermilion Bird Power was compatible with the other three heart techniques, but he could still use the Vermilion Bird Power. Moreover, because he was an Enlightened Master, his energy was purer and more effective.
After the Vermilion Bird Power was injected, the dying Vermilion Bird slowly regained its spirit, and it began to fight against the cold force in its body.
Chu Li shook his head, and activated the Black Tortoise Power to absorb the cold force.
He suddenly realized that his energy was purer, and he could upgrade the Azure Dragon and the Vitality Devouring Turtle's ranks. He might even be able to upgrade the rank of the Level Two Spirit Beasts to rank one, and then he would be able to protect himself in the Hundred-Thousand Hills.
Once he entered rank one, as long as he did not offend the Low Spirit Beasts, it would not be difficult to stay alive. However, this Vermilion Bird had repeatedly provoked the Black Tortoise, so it was a different story.
Chu Li flashed and returned to the side of the ice pool.
The little Vermilion Bird flew over and landed on the ice in front of him. It tilted its head and looked at Chu Li. "Tell me, what do you want in return?"
Chu Li said, "Ten stalks of Yin Ming Grass."
"Yin Ming Grass …" The little Vermilion Bird nodded lightly, leaped into the air, and disappeared in a flash.
At this time, in the Fairy's Capital, the Imperial Residence of King Ping was filled with muffled sounds. Leng Zhifei, Leng Shouren, King Ping, and Consort Ping were surrounded by eight Celestial Beings, and they were in a precarious situation.
These Celestial Beings were all very skilled. Two of them were on par with Leng Zhifei, and although the other six were slightly weaker, they were more than enough to deal with King Ping and Consort Ping. The couple could not breathe under the pressure.
King Ping's martial arts was not very strong, and Consort Ping, Mu Yulan, was much more powerful than him. It was all because of her protection that King Ping could hold on until now.
"Consort, don't worry about me. Let's break out of the encirclement first!" King Ping said.
Mu Yulan shook her head without saying a word.
There was a shadow of the Empyrean Fairy in the void above her head, absorbing the spiritual energy around her and transforming it into inner energy of the Empyrean Fairy Power. Her body was like a phantom surrounding King Ping, resisting the siege of the six Celestial Beings.
Although it was a precarious situation, she could still hold on. The shadow above her head suddenly let out a long howl, as if it was a silent cry. The surrounding Celestial Beings did not notice anything strange, and did not mind it as they continued to attack fiercely.
Leng Zhifei shouted, "Who are you? Why are you trying to kill the Ji Dynasty's Crown Prince? "
The eight Celestial Beings did not say a word, and only attacked fiercely.
His opponent was an old man with white eyebrows and a beard. His cultivation level was similar to his, but he was experienced and ruthless. Even though Leng Zhifei had a strong will and a profound cultivation level, he could not suppress him, and could not help King Ping.
Leng Shouren's opponent was a middle-aged man, his body was glowing, and his aura was vigorous.
Leng Shouren said, "Crown Prince, you're close to Chu Li, right? Ask him to come and help! "
King Ping said, "How can we trouble Chu Li with this kind of thing!"
"What time is it? What's there to be so particular about!" Leng Shouren said impatiently.
King Ping shook his head and said nothing.
He did not want to trouble Chu Li. He already owed Chu Li his life, but he did not keep his promise. Instead, he became the Crown Prince. He really did not have the face to ask Chu Li for help. If he died, then so be it. He had lived long enough anyway!
As long as he died, the Consort would not have to be burdened anymore, and she would be able to escape easily. His ancestors and Leng Shouren would not be a problem.
