Li Xinghe shook his head. "Brother Chu must've sensed the impending crisis since he's able to predict the future. That's why he went into isolated cultivation to deal with these Asuras."
"Is it really that magical?" Dong Guangyi scoffed.
If Chu Li was truly proficient in divination, he would have no chance of winning. Everything was within Chu Li's expectations and it did not feel good.
Li Xinghe said, "Anyway, it's best not to disturb Brother Chu's isolated cultivation."
"Brother Li, I can't care so much at a time like this. Let's resolve the crisis in front of us first." Tang Hui said, "Otherwise, I don't know how many cities and towns in the Fu Dynasty will be destroyed and how powerful these Asuras will be!"
"Sigh …" Li Xinghe looked pitiful and nodded slowly. "Indeed, it's all because of my incompetence."
Tang Hui shook his head. "It's not that Brother Li is incompetent, it's just that these Asuras are too powerful … The world will be in trouble from now on and even we Enlightened Masters can't stay out of it. Asuras are not Celestials!"
Everyone nodded solemnly.
They still had some tolerance for the Celestials and turned a blind eye to them. As long as they did not go overboard, they would not be too calculative on account of the Realm Beyond Heavens. In any case, they were going to ascend to the Realm Beyond Heavens and live there for a long time. This world was just a short time.
However, Asuras were different. If their lives were truly threatened, Asuras had the power to devour souls. If they were killed by them, it was hard to say if they could ascend to the Outland. This was unacceptable to Enlightened Masters.
Li Xinghe turned to look at Sun Mingyue. "Cult Leader Sun …"
Fa Yuan said, "I'll go and meet Brother Chu."
"Master Fa Yuan …" Li Xinghe was startled.
Fa Yuan said, "I'm old friends with Brother Chu. I'll go and inform him. Brother Chu can't be forced to come."
"Then I'll have to trouble Master Fa Yuan!" Tang Hui said, "I'll never forget Master's kindness!"
"Amitabha!" Fa Yuan pressed his palms together and disappeared with the two old monks.
Li Xinghe originally wanted to ask Sun Mingyue to persuade Chu Li.
He knew that Sun Mingyue and Chu Li had an unusual relationship. If Sun Mingyue were to go, Chu Li would most likely agree. He did not expect Fa Yuan to snatch it away and could only stay silent.
Sun Mingyue narrowed her eyes and glanced at Li Xinghe.
Li Xinghe felt a chill in his heart. This Cult Master Sun was not someone to be trifled with. It was best to speak less.

Fa Yuan suddenly appeared in the void outside of Chong Ming Town. After he landed, he slowly walked into Chong Ming Town and arrived at the main gate of the High Duke's Public House. He pressed his palms together and bowed to the four Protectors. "I am Fa Yuan. Please inform them of my arrival."
"Master, please wait a moment." The four protectors heard Fa Yuan's name and quickly bowed with pressed palms.
Even though the title of the world's number one master was unparalleled, the Protectors in the High Duke's Public House did not dare to underestimate the other masters in the Ji Dynasty. Naturally, they knew that Fa Yuan was an Enlightened Master.
A moment later, Xue Ling fluttered out. She was dressed in a snow-white robe. She pressed her palms together and bowed. "Master, Master is in isolation. He won't see anyone."
"Miss Xue Ling." Fa Yuan pressed his palms together. "I have something important to discuss with Brother Chu."
"Sigh …" Xue Ling's pretty face revealed a troubled expression.
Fa Yuan said, "This is an extremely urgent matter, or else I wouldn't want to disturb Brother Chu's seclusion."
"… Master, please follow me." Xue Ling sighed.
If it was someone else, Xue Ling would have rejected him without hesitation. However, Fa Yuan was different. He had a deep friendship with her Master. Moreover, Fa Yuan was an Enlightened Master. Unless it was an important matter, he would not disturb her Master's seclusion.
The two of them arrived at an island. Xue Ling said, "Master, please wait for a moment. I'll go and inform them."
"Thank you." Fa Yuan pressed his palms together.
Xue Ling pressed her palms together in return and retreated.

Chu Li slowly woke up. His eyes slowly regained their clarity from the emptiness.
He looked at his surroundings and revealed an emotional expression.
By projecting his consciousness, he knew that only half a month had passed, but it felt like thousands of years.
Condensing the Chakram Pagoda was a tough task. It required all of his energy and spirit to be focused on one thing. He had completely abandoned his ability to multitask. His entire body and spirit were focused on the Chakram Pagoda. He had no time to be distracted and lose all sense of his surroundings.
The Chakram Pagoda slowly formed. It was all condensed by his mind. He had spent a lot of energy but only managed to condense the third level. There was still a long way to go before he could condense the ninth level.
The first level was the hardest to condense. The second and third levels were slightly easier. However, from the fourth level onwards, each level would be more difficult than the previous. It made people feel like they were climbing a ladder. It was daunting and made them want to retreat.
Fortunately, his willpower was strong and pure. His intention to retreat was extinguished as soon as it appeared. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit.
No matter how tough the cultivation was, it had to be done step by step. Since there was no shortcut, he had to work hard. Once he worked hard, he would naturally succeed.
Not only did he condense the Chakram Pagoda, but his energy had also become twice as pure.
The Omniscient Mirror observed his surroundings.
Li Meng and Pang Shiji were still sparring outside. They were evenly matched. Pang Shiji had already turned the tables. Through the Eye of Technique Transmission, he had thoroughly transmitted his understanding of the sword technique to Pang Shiji's mind. It saved him a lot of time to comprehend. It could be said that he had taken a shortcut.
"Master." Xue Ling's voice was heard outside the courtyard.
Chu Li said, "I understand."
"Yes." Xue Ling responded.
Chu Li suddenly appeared in front of Fa Yuan in a flash.
Fa Yuan stood up and pressed his palms together. "Brother Chu."
Chu Li said, "A monk doesn't come to a temple for no reason. Tell me."
Fa Yuan shook his head helplessly and told him what had happened.
Chu Li frowned. "The Asuras are finally descending in large numbers. This is troublesome!"
"It's very troublesome." Fa Yuan said, "The peace of this world is no more. Brother Chu, it's our duty to quell this chaos."
Chu Li said, "Let's do our best. Even the Grandmasters can't suppress the Asuras, let alone us. The Grandmasters in the Grandmasters are far more powerful than our world. There are many more masters who are more powerful than me. We …"
He shook his head and sighed. "We can only do our best."
Fa Yuan nodded slowly and chanted the name of Buddha. "As long as we have a clear conscience."
Chu Li smiled. "Alright, I'll go and test this group of people. I'll first eliminate their vanguard and dampen their spirits. Don't let them look down on this world!"
"Exactly." Fa Yuan said, "The Asuras are bloodthirsty. If we can eliminate them, it'll be a great merit."
Chu Li said, "Monk, are you coming with me?"
"That's what I was thinking," Fa Yuan said.
Chu Li nodded. The two of them suddenly disappeared from the High Duke's Public House. The next moment, they appeared outside a small town. Three red clouds were floating in the sky, but they were as fast as lightning. They flew across the sky above the small town and were about five to six meters above the town.
Chu Li squinted his eyes. A blue light flashed and three God Slaying Thunder Swords pierced one of the red clouds.
"Bang!" The red cloud suddenly trembled and let out a violent explosion. It was as if thunder had descended.
The next moment, several golden lights descended from the sky. When they landed on the red cloud, they turned into golden palm prints and struck down.
The red cloud instantly trembled violently, trying to struggle out of the range of the golden palm prints.
Chu Li did not stop waving his palms. The golden lights continuously descended from the sky and turned into golden palm prints that landed on the red cloud. The red cloud became thinner.
The two red clouds in the distance shot towards them like lightning.
A blue light flashed in Chu Li's eyes. Suddenly, the two red clouds stopped moving and two "bang" sounds of explosions were heard.
"Bang!" Another explosion sounded, and the thin red cloud dissipated completely.
Suddenly, ten Heart of Asura appeared in the air.
