The Heavenly Star Insight had been upgraded to an extremely high level, but with the Star Stones, it could be upgraded to an even higher level.
In order to decipher the secret of the Heart of Asura, to be able to predict good or bad luck, and to sense the next realm from the Outland, a higher level of the Heavenly Star Insight would be required, which would require the Star Stones.
That was why he was tempted by Meng Zhifan's offer.
However, he was still rational, so he did not agree immediately. He needed to understand the situation here first. It was not wise to join a force hastily, so he needed to think it through, lest he made a mistake and regret it later.
"Alright, it's good that you've thought it through." Meng Zhifan did not force him, and laughed. "Although the Taiyue Temple is not the strongest, we are one of the top. As a member of the Taiyue Temple, we will not be bullied. As for the Great Asuras, I believe they will not dare to come again."
"Thank you, seniors, for your help this time." Chu Li closed fist saluted.
"Haha, this is how it should be. Even if it was someone else, the Taiyue Temple will definitely take action. No matter how strong the Great Asuras are, they are not allowed to appear in the Outland, or else they will not be able to return!" Meng Zhifan laughed.
Chu Li nodded. "Then I shall take my leave."
"Alright, forgive me for not seeing you off." Meng Zhifan closed fist saluted.
Chu Li turned and strode away.
Chen Haoming immediately panicked. "Elder, how can you let him leave just like that?"
Meng Zhifan smiled as he sized him up.
Chen Haoming was shocked by his gaze, but he bit the bullet and said, "He clearly has bad intentions, and caused trouble to others. The deaths of our brothers in the temple are all because of him, how can we forgive him!"
"They died in the hands of the Great Asuras, not Chu Li. You have to be clear about this." Meng Zhifan shook his head. "The grudge between the Chen Family and him is not worth mentioning. It's a matter of the Lower Realm, why involve the Outland?"
"If he did not lead the Great Asuras here, how could we brothers die?" Chen Haoming said.
"Dying in the hands of the Great Asuras, they can only blame themselves for not being strong enough," Meng Zhifan said impatiently. "Do you want to kill him? Chu Li is a genius that only appears once in a thousand years! "
"So what if he's a genius? He's not of the same mind as us!" Chen Haoming snorted. "Elder, don't forget, he's a god."
"If he hadn't become a God, I wouldn't think so highly of him." Meng Zhifan shook his head and said, "The first in a thousand years. Not only did we not recruit such a person, but we also offended him and even wanted to kill him. If he was so easy to kill, he would have died a hundred times over!"
"This is a rare opportunity!" Chen Haoming hurriedly said, "It'll be easy to kill him while he's here and hasn't established a firm foundation. Once he's established a firm foundation in the future, it'll be difficult!"
"Do you think the Great Asura doesn't know what's going on?" Meng Zhifan said snappily, "They can't wait for you to make a move. Then, you can take the opportunity to rescue him and do him a favor."
"Elder, are we really going to recruit him into Taiyue Hall?" Chen Haoming sighed helplessly. He knew that what he said was reasonable. He said hatefully, "He killed so many of our people. We don't like him!"
"If he comes, I'll welcome him with open arms!" Meng Zhifan said, "You should know how important it is to have a strong companion. In the future, when we fight against the Asura, having him or not will make a huge difference!"
"… Alright." Chen Haoming saw that he was so eager and knew that it was useless to say more. He took a deep breath and said, "I don't think Chu Li will come to our Taiyue Hall."
"That's not necessarily true." Meng Zhifan laughed and said, "I'll think of a way. Don't make trouble, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Although he said it with a smile, Chen Haoming shuddered. His heart trembled and he said in a low voice, "Since Elder has decided, I won't make trouble. I won't say anything!"
"Very good." Meng Zhifan smiled and said, "I like your cleverness. Go and comfort the families of the fallen. Sigh … no matter how long you live, this is the end."
When he thought about the fall of a Rank One Celestial, Meng Zhifan felt sorry for him.
A Rank One Celestial was already the top existence in the Outland. Apart from those Supreme Ranks, Rank One Celestial was supposed to be free and unfettered and would not die in an accident. Unfortunately, there were always unexpected things in the world. No matter how powerful one was, they could not be more powerful than fate. In the face of fate, an individual's power was insignificant.
The older one was, the more one was afraid of death. Unfortunately, death could not be avoided.
The battle between the Outland and the Asura would definitely become more intense. He was already a Supreme Celestial and could not become a Great Enlightened Master. Therefore, the most important thing was to have stronger subordinates. If he could recruit Chu Li, his position in the Elder Society would rise suddenly.
When he thought about this, he became more eager.

Chu Li appeared on a mountain opposite the Great Light Surpassing Realm. He sat down cross-legged and bathed in the moonlight as he prepared to cultivate in isolation.
Now that he had killed three Great Asuras, even with the help of others, he should be able to obtain a lot of power. He might even be able to condense the Chakra Pagoda and complete the ninth level.
His calm heart rippled. If he could really condense the Chakra Pagoda, he would be able to reverse Yin and Yang, reincarnate, and control life and death.
When he thought about this, he was no longer afraid of the people around him dying. He could directly turn the dead back to life and bring them back to life, just like how the Life and Death Scripture worked for him. Once he had this, Sun Mingyue did not need to ascend back then. She could directly reverse Yin and Yang.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and cultivate, Sun Mingyue suddenly appeared.
Chu Li looked up at her.
Sun Mingyue was dressed in a snow-white robe and a white veil covering her face. She sat down beside him and sighed. "Are the Great Asuras here again?"
Chu Li smiled. "They've already been killed. They lured them here to be killed."
Sun Mingyue removed her white veil and revealed her beautiful face. She sighed. "These Great Asuras are really persistent. They want to kill you no matter what."
Chu Li nodded. "They'll come again."
"Looks like you can handle it," Sun Mingyue said softly. "You're in the limelight now. You must be careful."
Chu Li asked, "There are Star Stones in the Outland?"
Sun Mingyue nodded. "You want Star Stones?"
Chu Li smiled. "The more the better."
"This Star Stone is said to be able to calm one's mind and assist in cultivation. That's why it's quite precious. But it's not hard to come by for major sects," Sun Mingyue said. "I can get a few pieces."
Chu Li smiled.
Sun Mingyue said, "According to Master, you're very popular now. Everyone wants to recruit you, just like Song Wuji back then."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "Which side did Song Wuji choose in the end?"
"Heaven's Thunder Hall," Sun Mingyue said. "In the end, he became the master of the Thunder Pool, the Hall Master of Heaven's Thunder Hall."
"He's also from the Elders Guild?" Chu Li asked.
"Yes." Sun Mingyue nodded. "And he's very powerful. Because of his overbearing martial arts, he's considered one of the top few people in the Outland. You've cultivated to become an Enlightened Master. You're comparable to Song Wuji back then, but you're still slightly weaker than him now."
Chu Li nodded thoughtfully. "Which side do you think I should choose?"
"The Rain Master Hall." Sun Mingyue frowned. "Now that the Rain Master Hall is very weak, it's a good opportunity for you. In the future, it's very likely that you'll become the Hall Master of the Rain Master Hall and be on equal footing with Song Wuji."
