"Chu Li, if you hadn't lured these four Great Asuras here, would we have lost so many companions?" The green-robed elder, Chen Haoming, said, "These are ten rank one Celestial Beings. They're almost at the peak of rank one, yet they died here. It's such an injustice. If we're lucky, we'll be standing here. If we're unlucky, we'll be the ones dying!"
Everyone's expression changed.
They still had lingering fears when they thought about the previous scene. They looked at Chu Li coldly.
No matter how great the reason was, it was insignificant in the face of death. They only knew that they were almost killed by the Great Asuras because of Chu Li.
Having cultivated to rank one, they were already at the top of the Outland. They listened directly to the Elders Guild and did not have to care about what others thought. The twenty-four of them were formed to fight against the Asuras and had mastered the Tai Yue Formation.
The Tai Yue Formation was powerful enough to destroy the Great Asuras. Unfortunately, there were too many of them.
The Great Asuras were always alone and rarely joined forces. This situation was rare. It showed how powerful Chu Li was to be able to lure four Great Asuras to assassinate him at the same time.
They did not expect the four Asuras to join forces, which led to this tragic situation.
However, they would not blame themselves, only Chu Li.
Chu Li shook his head and laughed. "If that's the case, it's my fault that I'm being hunted by the Great Asuras. I should've stayed where I was and let them kill me instead of escaping to the stronger Outland."
"Escaping here? You're bringing disaster to us!" Chen Haoming said in a low voice.
Chu Li said, "The Celestials fell to the Lower Realm and attracted the Asuras to kill them. Are these Celestials up to no good?"
"Excuses!" Chen Haoming said coldly. "You'd better not fight back and follow us to the Elders Hall!"
"I was just about to meet the Elders!" Chu Li said. "Please!"
"You should've known better. Why bother with all this nonsense?" Chen Haoming sneered.
Chu Li squinted at Chen Haoming and smiled without saying anything else. He gestured for him to lead the way.
The fourteen of them surrounded Chu Li and carried the ten dead companions with them. After four hours, they finally arrived in front of a basilica.
This hall was located at the peak of a giant mountain.
A bright moon hung in the sky. The hall was brightly lit, but it was quiet and solemn.
The circular hall seemed to be connected to the void and had completely fused into one. It was grand and dignified, causing one to feel deep veneration.
There were people coming and going in front of the main hall. All of them moved quietly and almost didn't make a sound. Because they all had extraordinary cultivation, there wasn't even a sound of footsteps.
When Chu Li saw this basilica from afar, he felt pressured and threatened, just like the Great Asura.
Chu Li knew that there were supreme Celestial Beings among them.
Above the first grade was the transcendental grade, and above the transcendental grade was the Great Enlightened Realm. Only when one reached the Great Enlightened Realm would he be considered a true Enlightened Realm God. He would be able to break free from the shackles of the Grandmaster's Boundary and reach the higher Grandmaster's Boundary.
Only a true Great Heavenly God could compare to a supreme Spirit Beast.
Chu Li realized that Asuras, Celestial Beings, and Spirit Beasts had completely different classifications for Supreme Grade. Great Asuras were equivalent to Supreme Grade Celestial Beings, while Great Divine Gods were equivalent to Supreme Grade Spirit Beasts.
He didn't know how many Supreme Grade Celestial Beings there were in the Outland, but there probably weren't many. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent Rank One Celestial Beings, but Supreme Grade Celestial Beings. There definitely weren't as many Supreme Grade Celestial Beings as there were Great Asuras.
A group of fourteen or fifteen people and ten corpses naturally attracted the attention of the people around them. Soon, someone reported.
As soon as they arrived at the basilica, a handsome young man in a green robe quickly descended the sixty-six black stone steps. He approached them and said in a low voice, "You're from the Taiyue Hall, right?"
"Yes." Chen Haoming fist saluted and said, "I'm here to see Elder Meng."
"Follow me." The young man in green nodded and turned to go up the steps. He suddenly stopped. "Senior Chen should come first."
"Alright." Chen Haoming nodded.
His gaze fell on Chu Li and he gave the others a look, signaling them to keep an eye on Chu Li and not let him run away.
Chu Li shook his head. This Chen Haoming was purposely trying to provoke him.
Chen Haoming quickly followed the young man into the basilica.
Chu Li turned to look at the thirteen elders around him and shook his head with a sigh.
One of the elders said calmly, "Chu Li, you shouldn't have come here. This is the Outland."
Chu Li replied, "I was desperate. I just wanted to escape with my life."
"Sigh …" The elder shook his head. "The loss this time was too heavy. Too many people died. Even if you're not guilty, it won't end well for you."
Chu Li showed a helpless expression.
A moment later, the young man walked down the steps and said in a low voice, "Which one of you is Chu Li? Please follow me. "
Chu Li fist saluted and followed the young man up the sixty-six wide black stone steps. They arrived at the basilica and turned east. They passed through a courtyard and arrived at the main hall of the courtyard.
An elder with white eyebrows and beard sat on the main seat in the main hall. He looked kind and amiable. He stroked his beard and looked at Chu Li. When he saw him enter, he smiled. "You're Chu Li from the Ji Dynasty?"
Chu Li fist saluted. "Greetings, Elder Meng."
"Good, good." Elder Meng waved his hand and laughed. "You're a hero. I like young heroes the most!"
Chu Li smiled without saying a word.
Elder Meng said, "The assassination by the Great Asura this time was extremely dangerous. We lost ten top-notch masters from the Tai Yue Hall. It's a great loss but it's worth it to save your life, Chu Li!"
Chu Li fist saluted. "I'm flattered. I'm very grateful to the elders of the Tai Yue Hall."
"There's no need for that." Elder Meng waved his hand. "I'm Meng Zhifan, the leader of the Tai Yue Hall. I'm also one of the elders in the Elder Society."
Chu Li nodded. "Apologies."
Meng Zhifan laughed. "So, Chu Li, do you want to join the Tai Yue Hall? The Tai Yue Hall only needs to answer to me. You don't have to listen to anyone else, even the other elders in the Elder Society. You're free. "
Chu Li did not say a word.
Meng Zhifan continued to laugh. "There aren't many rules in the Tai Yue Hall. You're very free. You don't have to come here usually. You'll only be dispatched when there's a mission. Of course, there'll be a huge reward for every mission. With these rewards, you'll have a higher chance of becoming a Great Enlightened Master."
Chu Li said, "Thank you for thinking highly of me, Elder Meng. I'm very grateful but I'm not from the Outland. I'm not considered a Deva. I almost never come to the Outland. I only come once in a while."
"You're an Enlightened Master through cultivation. You can enter and leave the Outland at will. This is a huge advantage." Meng Zhifan smiled. "Everyone from the Supreme Mountain Hall only needs to complete one mission. Chu Li, with your martial arts, it'll be a piece of cake. You'll even be able to obtain amazing rewards. These are all good things that you can't obtain in the Lower Realm. There are techniques, spirit pills, and divine weapons. Things like the Star Stone and the Regicide Sword are not rare items in the Outland."
Chu Li's expression changed.
"The antique studies of the Outland can't be compared to those of the Lower Realm. Chu Li, your cultivation level is high now, but you lack strong enough martial arts." Meng Zhifan shook his head. "The martial arts of the Goddess Attraction Mountain are just average. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been destroyed. Moreover, if you join the Tai Yue Hall, we'll be the backer of the Goddess Attraction Mountain."
Chu Li took a deep breath. "Let me think about it."
