In the beginning, he could not see through the old man's mind so he did not know what was going on. He was dubious but the old man's expression made him suspicious. The more he wanted him to search for the Heavenly Astra Jade Stamp, the more alert he became.
However, the old man suddenly pretended to be sick as if he was injured.
In fact, the old man was really injured, and his injuries were acting up perfectly. There was no way to tell that he was faking it. Unfortunately, this gave Chu Li a good opportunity. The Omniscient Mirror immediately saw through the old man's thoughts.
The old man did not know much as he was only following orders.
Moreover, he was indeed the guardian of the longevity treasure.
The only difference was that the palace was not the Hidden Treasure of Longevity. Instead, it was another hidden treasure.
However, the treasures in the treasure were real. This showed how rich the Longevity Church was. They had countless treasures that made people drool.
From time to time, Chu Li would have the urge to snatch the floating mountain or directly kill Song Zhifan. Then, he could disguise himself as Song Zhifan and take over the floating mountain. That way, he would not have to worry about anything anymore. He would not have to work so hard to activate the Blood Dragon Tree. He had to produce three rounds of fruits in one go. It had taken a lot of his energy. Thinking about it, he could not help but feel a lingering fear. He did not want to experience it again.
With these treasures, his subordinates' strength would skyrocket. They would be strong even without the blood dragon fruit.
Unfortunately, Song Wuji's existence made him hesitate. He didn't dare to kill Song Zhifan, nor could he take the floating mountain for himself.
He believed that many people had the same idea and wanted to take over the floating mountain but they were powerless.
Meanwhile, that Heavenly Star Jade Stamp was fake, and it looked exactly the same as the Heavenly Star Jade Stamp. However, there was a powerful formation within it, and once one entered it, they would be seriously injured. That was a power that could harm heavenly deities.
The Omniscient Mirror saw all of this in a flash. He felt lucky that he restrained his greed and did not recklessly search for the blue jade. Otherwise, he would have died in the treasure.
He landed outside the forest and turned to look at the forest. He shook his head and returned to his courtyard.
Lu Jun was waiting in his courtyard. When he saw him, he put down his teacup and smiled. "Did you enter the longevity treasure?"
Chu Li nodded and shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Lu Jun was confused.
Chu Li sighed. "I did enter the Longevity Treasure, but unfortunately, I didn't find what I was looking for. There's no Heavenly Astral Jade Stamp at all. What a waste!"
Lu Jun asked in surprise, "What are you looking for? You can't find it?"
"Heaven's Star Jade Badge," Chu Li said, "Unfortunately, it's fake."
"Impossible!" Lu Jun shook his head decisively. "There are no fake treasures in the Longevity Vault."
Chu Li said, "I'm not mistaken. That's definitely not the Cosmic Jade Medal."
"Do you know what the Heavenly Star Jade Stamp looks like?" Lu Jun scoffed. "As if I've really seen it before!"
Chu Li hesitated for a moment before he slowly nodded. "I've seen it before."
"Where have I seen it before?"
"In the hands of a disciple from the Stargazing Pavilion."
"Who?"
"Li Xinghe."
"You're really amazing to have met such a genius." Lu Jun exclaimed in surprise, "Li Xinghe is a very mysterious fellow. It's said that he's a genius among the disciples of the Stargazing Pavilion of this generation, surpassing even his father."
Chu Li said, "I met him by chance and saw the Heaven's Star Jade Stamp before. That's why I'm looking for the second half of the Heaven's Star Jade Stamp."
"Could it be that you've cultivated the first half of the Heaven's Star Jade Stamp?" Lu Jun asked.
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "I've cultivated a mystical technique from the Stargazing Pavilion called the Heavenly Heart Technique. However, I'm not lucky enough to cultivate the Heaven's Star Jade Stamp."
"The Heavenly Heart Technique is already very powerful." Lu Jun revealed an envious expression. "It's said that after cultivating it, you'll be able to predict the future. It's truly a mystical technique. Moreover, it's very difficult to cultivate and requires an extremely high aptitude. Can you really cultivate it?"
Chu Li nodded.
"As expected of Elder Bai!" Lu Jun gave him a thumbs up.
Chu Li shook his head and broke into laughter.
The two of them chatted and laughed. Chu Li was using Lu Jun to dispel his doubts.
Song Sizu's gaze was still lingering there. He had yet to dispel his suspicions.
As long as he did not dispel his suspicions, it would be difficult for him to enter the true Longevity Vault. This was something that could not be helped no matter how strong his martial arts was. He could only use this method to dispel their suspicions.
After chatting with Lu Jun for a while, Chu Li arrived at the Heaven's Punishment Hall.
Elder Fang was reading a dossier in the hall. When she saw him enter, she waved for him to come forward.
Chu Li closed fist saluted and walked forward. He weakly called out to the Hall Leader.
"What's going on?" Elder Fang frowned and looked at him. "Didn't you see the Heaven's Star Jade Stamp?"
Chu Li shook his head. "It's fake."
Elder Fang's reaction was exactly the same as Lu Jun's. She flatly denied it. "Impossible. There's definitely no fake treasures in the Longevity Vault!"
Chu Li sighed. "I've seen the real one. This is definitely a fake."
"Don't panic. I'll ask the Bishop!" Elder Fang's face darkened.
Her subordinate took out the Heavenly Heart Technique in exchange for the Heaven's Star Jade Stamp. In the end, the Heaven's Star Jade Stamp was fake. Moreover, the Heavenly Heart Technique had already been given out. No matter how she looked at it, it was a farce.
She was the Hall Leader. How could she not help her subordinate? How could she tolerate such a thing? Even if she did not pursue the matter of the Heaven's Star Jade Stamp, she still had to provide other forms of compensation.
Chu Li closed fist saluted weakly.
Elder Fang floated away.
Chu Li stood in the basilica motionless like a statue. He seemed to be deep in thought.
He felt that if Elder Fang were to take action, Song Zhifan would have some scruples. He would not test him because of Song Sizu's words.
After a quarter of an hour, Elder Fang floated back and said slowly, "You didn't go to the Longevity Vault. It was another vault. It's a test for you. Anyone who enters the Longevity Vault has to pass this test."
Chu Li frowned. "It doesn't matter if it's the Longevity Vault. I just want the Heaven's Star Jade Stamp. It's the same if I get it from another vault. I don't have to enter the Longevity Vault. But why is it fake?"
"Only if it's fake can I see your character." Elder Fang scoffed. "D * mn the rules. It should be real this time."
"It's real?" Chu Li was dubious.
Elder Fang said, "Don't worry. It's definitely real this time."
Chu Li sighed. "Palace Leader, this is too … Even if it's a test, it doesn't have to be like this, right?"
Elder Fang saw his dissatisfaction and said, "Everyone has experienced this person. Rules are rules. You're not the only one who has been fooled."
"Alright then." Chu Li tried his best to cheer up. "When can I enter the Longevity Vault?"
"Today." Elder Fang said, "Go now. It's the place you went to before."
Chu Li closed fist saluted without saying anything more. He turned around and went to the forest.
He jumped to the treetop and jumped again. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. It was another palace.
Compared to the previous palace, this palace seemed to be half the size. It was simple and unadorned. There was no luxury at all. It was not eye-catching either.
The old man from before stood in front of the palace. He looked at Chu Li and nodded. "Come in!"
Chu Li closed fist saluted. "How's your injury?"
"It's no big deal." The old man scoffed.
