Sun Mingyue took out a pouch and passed it to Chu Li.
Chu Li took it and knew without opening it that there were three Star Stones inside.
"Although I have these, they're quite precious and I can't bear to give them up." Sun Mingyue shook her head. "I'll think of another way."
Chu Li waved his hand. "These are enough."
He did not want Sun Mingyue to worry about this anymore. Star Stones were treasures in the Outland and could not be obtained easily. He had been greedy enough to get these, so he would have to think of another way to get more. He did not want to trouble Sun Mingyue.
Sun Mingyue asked, "Why do you want them? You don't need them anymore, do you? "
Chu Li replied, "Star Stones can help me predict the future."
"I see." Sun Mingyue nodded. "Alright, I'll see if there's a chance."
Chu Li smiled. "Do you have a message for Li Meng? Or a letter to her? "
"That would be against the Heavenly Rules." Sun Mingyue shook her head and sighed. "The Heavenly Rules can't be violated, unlike you."
She envied Chu Li for this. The Heavenly Rules were not essential to him, and the Outland would have to pay a higher price to control him. This was a price that the Elders Society did not want to pay, so Chu Li was very free.
Chu Li nodded. "Then I'll send a message."
Sun Mingyue said, "There's nothing much to say. Li Meng is a very smart girl, and with your help, she can support the Holy Church. She should find an heir before she ascends."
As the two of them spoke, two women floated over. One of them was Liang Yueying, and the other was a stunning beauty who was only slightly inferior to Sun Mingyue. She was dressed in an emerald green gown and looked to be about thirty years old.
Chu Li was very sensitive to age, so he knew that this woman was more than a hundred years old.
Liang Yueying gave Sun Mingyue a look.
Sun Mingyue raised her eyebrows and gave a fist salute. "Greetings, Master's Junior Zhong."
The emerald gown woman was Zhong Jinghua, her Master's Junior. She did not ascend from the Lower Realm, but was a pure Outland. She had entered the Great Light Surpassing State since she was young, and her cultivation level was very high. Although she was inferior to Master Song Wanqing, her status was higher.
Zhong Jinghua waved her hand and said indifferently, "I heard that you're involved with someone from the lower realm, so I came to take a look."
As she spoke, she did not even look at Chu Li as if he did not exist. She only stared at Sun Mingyue as she spoke.
After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Chu Li. She lifted her fair and pretty chin and lowered her almond-shaped eyes as she looked down at Chu Li.
She had a slender figure and was slightly taller than Chu Li, which was why she could look down at him from above.
Chu Li looked at her calmly and gave a fist salute. "I'm Chu Li. Greetings, Senior Zhong."
When he saw that this woman had come with ill intentions, it was obvious that she was at the Great Light Surpassing Realm. Finally, he could not help but intervene.
Zhong Jinghua waved her hand and said calmly, "There's no need to act friendly. Are you Chu Li?"
Chu Li smiled nonchalantly and nodded. "Yes."
"Do you intend to ascend here?" Zhong Jinghua asked.
Chu Li smiled. "I don't need to ascend here."
"… Then will you always stay here?" Zhong Jinghua was stunned for a moment before she asked coldly.
She felt suffocated as she was inadvertently contradicted and her momentum was shaken. What a despicable fellow!
Chu Li replied, "I won't."
Zhong Jinghua took a deep breath and said coldly, "That's it then. Since you won't be staying here, don't disturb Ming Yue's heart and make her unable to calm down and cultivate. She's at her golden age and her cultivation level is improving by leaps and bounds. She mustn't be distracted or she'll regret it for the rest of her life if her cultivation is delayed."
Chu Li smiled. "Does Senior Zhong mean that Ming Yue and I will be separated?"
"That's right." Zhong Jinghua said, "If you're thinking about her, then let go. Don't come to the Outland to disturb her heart and stay in the lower realm. This isn't a place for you!"
Chu Li frowned and said, "It seems that Senior Zhong doesn't like people from the lower realm."
"That depends on who they are." Zhong Jinghua scoffed. "If they're disciples from Great Light Surpassing, we'll welcome them with open arms. Disciples from Great Light Surpassing are a family. If they're from other sects, we won't welcome them as they'll be our enemies!"
If they were Enlightened Masters who ascended from the lower realm, they would have a bright future. If they were ordinary Grandmasters, they would have a bright future too. After all, the lower realm was more dangerous than the Outland and it was a better place to hone one's mind.
Previously, only perfected Grandmasters and Enlightened Masters could ascend to the Grandmaster's Boundary. When these people reached the Grandmaster's Boundary, they would grow up to be a master of their own. Now that the Grandmaster's Boundary had relaxed the entry requirements, the people who ascended were not as powerful, but Enlightened Masters were still top-notch talents.
This was equivalent to suppressing the status of the Outland's natives. As a native of the Outland, there was still resistance and hostility deep in their hearts.
Chu Li said, "If I don't let go, what will happen to Great Light Surpassing?"
Zhong Jinghua said coldly, "For Ming Yue's future, you need to cut off your emotions with the sword of wisdom."
Chu Li said slowly, "If that's the case, I can't come to Great Light Surpassing in the future?"
"That's right." Zhong Jinghua said, "Moreover, Ming Yue is about to go into isolated cultivation and won't be able to come out again. You'll come here in vain, so don't waste your time and just stay down there."
"Master's Junior Zhong!" Sun Mingyue frowned.
She knew that Chu Li could handle it, so she did not interrupt to avoid making things worse. This was not the time to be emotional. If she acted impulsively, things would get out of hand.
However, when she heard how Zhong Jinghua treated Chu Li, she could not stand it anymore and interrupted her.
Zhong Jinghua looked at Sun Mingyue and said calmly, "Ming Yue, you're still young. You're placing too much emphasis on relationships. After a few decades, you'll understand that relationships aren't everything. They're just an adjustment to life and are dispensable."
Sun Mingyue said, "Master's Junior Zhong, I'll take care of my own affairs."
"This isn't just about you. Your achievements are related to the future of Great Light Surpassing. How can you be careless?" Zhong Jinghua said gently, "You have the potential to become the sect leader of Great Light Surpassing."
Sun Mingyue shook her head gently. "I'm not that ambitious."
Zhong Jinghua said, "If you become the sect leader, you'll become an elder of the Elder Society. You'll be able to decide the life and death of many people. You can even decide the life and death of the next realm. Do you want to be a chess piece and be manipulated by others?"
She turned to look at Chu Li. "Chu Li, you don't want to ruin Ming Yue's future, do you? She has a bright future ahead of her. She's beautiful, talented, and skilled in martial arts. She's definitely qualified to become the future sect leader. "
Chu Li frowned. "You're not fooling me, are you?"
Zhong Jinghua scoffed. "You can't just say something like that. I know you're powerful. You're the first person to become an Enlightened Master in a thousand years. However, this is the Outland, not your world. You're not invincible. No matter how powerful you are, you can't give Ming Yue a better future! … If you're deeply in love with her, then wait. Ten years later, you can continue your relationship. Ming Yue will come out of isolation then. "
"Ten years!" Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
"Do you only care about your relationship and ignore Ming Yue's future?" Zhong Jinghua said coldly.
Sun Mingyue frowned at Chu Li.
Chu Li said, "I believe that even if we see each other often, her future won't be affected!"
