Chu Li calmly said, "Elder Xia, don't worry."
Xia Liyan turned around and said, "Young Lord, they're too much. If they didn't stop us, we might be able to see the hill master one last time."
Chu Li asked, "Why did the hill master ascend to heaven?"
"The hill master is cultivating the last picture of the Crouching Bull Insight. According to the hill master, he has already comprehended it completely. As long as he cultivates in isolation, he will be able to cultivate it in one go and achieve perfect mastery. Even if he can't defeat an Enlightened Master, he will be able to look down on his peers among the Grandmasters. "
Chu Li frowned. "If he has already comprehended it, why …?"
"It's not going well when he starts to cultivate it. I thought he would be able to cultivate it in a month, but after two months, three months, the isolation became longer and longer, and he was unable to extricate himself. "Xia Liyan said.
Chu Li sighed. "Forget it, there's no point in talking about this now."
Xia Liyan said, "Once the hill master leaves, it will be difficult for you, Young Lord! We shouldn't have agreed to let Elder Jin return. "
He addressed him as an elder, which meant he was speaking as one of the elders of Crouching Bull Mountain.
Chu Li said, "Since we can't stop him, we might as well let him go … Tell everyone that I want to talk about martial arts."
"Yes." Xia Liyan instantly looked excited.
The Crouching Bull Insight that the Young Lord was talking about was an eye-opener. It changed his previous way of thinking, and his cultivation speed was surprisingly fast. He had already advanced a level, and at this rate, breaking through to the eighth level of the Crouching Bull Insight was just around the corner.
There were twenty-two Innate Masters in the entire Surpassing State. If they could all become Grandmasters, then Crouching Bull Mountain's strength would truly become a first-rate sect, and not just in name.
"Let's go see the hill master first," Chu Li said.
The two of them arrived in front of a mountain wall. Xia Liyan opened the mountain door and entered the cave.
Inside was a spacious and bright stone room. It did not have the dark and damp feeling of a cave. Instead, it felt enlightened and peaceful. It was obviously not an ordinary cave.
Zhuge Feng sat on the stone bed in the middle of the cave. His lifelike face revealed a smile.
When Chu Li saw the smile, he frowned and looked at Xia Liyan.
Xia Liyan was also puzzled.
Initially, he thought that Zhuge Feng's face would be hideous, he would be in unbearable pain, and he would die from Qi deviation. He never thought that he would end up like this. It was as if he had seen through everything and obtained a great release. He was like a senior monk of Buddhism who was enlightened and became Buddha. He walked away happily and carefreely.
"Mountain Chieftain, this is …?" He furrowed his brows and said, "Looks like it really wasn't Elder Jin's doing."
Chu Li nodded.
He could see that Zhuge Feng's smile came from the depths of his heart. It was obvious that he had understood something and was extremely happy. But why did he leave so suddenly?
After circling around Zhuge Feng's bed twice, his gaze landed on the fist mark on Zhuge Feng's knee. He stared at the fist mark thoughtfully.
Xia Liyan looked at the fist mark in confusion. "This is the Mountain Chieftain's, right?"
Chu Li nodded and slowly closed his eyes.
As he stared at the fist mark, the Omniscient Mirror and the Heavenly Star Insight Technique were activated in his mind, replaying the situation at that time. The movements and expressions of Zhuge Feng, who was lying on the bed, flashed at the same time to verify the fist mark.
Deducing from his expressions and movements, coupled with the fist mark as evidence, it was more beneficial to deducing what he was thinking.
After a while, he opened his eyes. The Omniscient Mirror in his mind flashed Zhuge Feng's expression, happy and excited. He finally solved this big secret and could not wait to go to the Outland to find his master to verify his guess.
Chu Li looked at Xia Liyan thoughtfully. "Did the Honorable Master also go to the Outland?"
Xia Liyan was startled and shook his head. "I really don't know. I'm afraid he didn't?"
He and Zhuge Feng did not have the same master. Zhuge Feng's master was his Master's Senior. When the Master's Senior was still alive, it was not easy to go to the Outland. It required sufficient cultivation and inheritance. Although the inheritance of the Crouching Bull Mountain was long, it was not the best. So it was very difficult to go to the Outland.
If the Master went to the Outland, the entire Crouching Bull Mountain would know. It should not be kept a secret.
Chu Li frowned and said, "The Honorable Master must have gone to the Outland."
"Oh?" Xia Liyan was surprised.
Chu Li completely understood. He shook his head and laughed. "The Honorable Master hid it from everyone and secretly went to the Outland. The Hill Master suddenly knew about this secret, so he could not wait to go and see."
"The Hill Master is really …" Xia Liyan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Just because of this, he suddenly passed away and pushed the Young Lord to the edge of the cliff. He really did not know what to say.
Chu Li said, "The Hill Master is tired of worldly things. Seeing that the Crouching Bull Mountain is so prosperous, he has nothing to worry about, so he left and left the rest to us."
"That's the only way," Xia Liyan said. "But the Young Lord must not be careless. Master's Junior Jin and the others are very difficult to deal with."
Chu Li smiled. "Elder Xia, you can go first. I will stay here to accompany the Hill Master."
"… Alright." Xia Liyan looked at Zhuge Feng's body and closed fist saluted before leaving.
Chu Li stretched out his hand and gently pressed on the fist mark. He smiled.
—
Three days later, Chu Li left the Surpassing State.
In these three days, he completely understood the Surpassing State and the temperament of the four elders.
The four of them listened to Jin Ye. They would support whoever Jin Ye supported as the Hill Master. They would not go against Jin Ye.
This was because Jin Ye had done them a great favor, and also because they did not have a good impression of Zhuge Tian. His previous evil deeds made them feel that even if he turned over a new leaf, he had done evil things and could not be tolerated.
Chu Li did not change. He only taught the twenty-two Innate Masters martial arts and explained the Crouching Bull Insight in detail. He explained it in more detail than when he was at the Crouching Bull Mountain. The twenty-two Innate Masters learned a lot and showed signs of breaking through.
Xia Liyan was full of praise as he listened. In terms of the depth of martial arts, the Young Lord was rare in the world. He was so young but had such a deep knowledge of martial arts. It could only be concluded that he was a genius.
On the evening of the fourth day, the two of them returned to the Crouching Bull Mountain.
As soon as he returned to his courtyard, Qiao San quickly welcomed him with an anxious expression. "Young Lord, you're finally back!"
Chu Li came to the stone table in the pagoda and sat down. He looked relaxed. "What happened?"
Qiao San quickly served him tea and said anxiously, "Young Lord, if you didn't come back, everyone would have been dragged away by Elder Jin and the others! I heard that the Hill Master has ascended to Heaven? "
Chu Li nodded and took a sip of tea. "Everyone listens to them?"
"Who hasn't been taught by Elder Jin? How can we not? Young Lord, why aren't you anxious at all? "Qiao San shook his head.
"What's the use of being anxious? They can't wait for the new Hill Master to take the position, right? "Chu Li leisurely sipped his tea.
"Yes. Young Lord, if you came back two days later, everything would be too late. They're going to choose the new Hill Master tomorrow. Although your name is on the list, if you're not here, it's still not enough. "Qiao San nodded.
Chu Li said, "Hmm, let's see what everyone thinks."
"Young Lord, you can't!" Qiao San was shocked.
Chu Li smiled. "Why not?"
