"Will there really be assassinations?" Lu Mingyi frowned. "Would there be assassinations at the Sword Meet? Wouldn't that be a provocation to the Cliff? "
"Actually, there will always be assassinations at the Sword Meet." Chen Donglin shook his head. "If you can't pass this obstacle, you won't be qualified to enter the Cliff. This is also the first obstacle."
"There's such a thing?" Lu Mingyi was surprised. "I've never heard of this."
"I've only heard about it from others." Chen Donglin said, "Of course, the young talents who participate can also bring more Protectors. It's also a form of strength."
"The strength of power." Wei Huaide said, "Those without power can't participate?"
"Without power, you must have more strength." Chen Donglin said, "Otherwise, how can you be mentioned in the same breath as the Ninth Princess and the others?"
"Sigh …" Lu Mingyi said, "We're really a burden."
Although their martial arts had reached the peak of first rank and were just a step away from Supreme rank, they were still not there. They were far from being comparable to Chu Li who was the top of Supreme rank. If they encountered a Supreme rank master, they would only be a burden.
Chen Donglin said, "Cultivate well."
The other two nodded vigorously, full of motivation.
Xue Luoyu floated like a cloud, moving as fast as lightning. Chu Li followed closely behind, walking side by side with her.
Xue Luoyu did not say a word, and neither did Chu Li.
The scenery around them passed by quickly, leaving them far behind.
Four hours later, Xue Luoyu spoke, "I heard that you're the world's number one master in the lower realm?"
Chu Li nodded. "Although it's a little exaggerated, I haven't met any worthy opponents."
"Then, do you feel disappointed when you reach the Grandmaster?" Xue Luoyu asked softly.
She spoke slowly and tirelessly, making people want to continue listening. Listening to her speak was a great enjoyment.
Chu Li smiled. "It's only been about three years since I was a person without any martial arts. Entering the Grandmaster is much better than when I first started practicing martial arts."
"That's true." Xue Luoyu nodded. "But I heard that your aptitude is ordinary."
Chu Li said, "I'm just luckier."
Xue Luoyu said, "If a person with ordinary aptitude wants to reach the top, he or she will either encounter a treasure of heaven and earth, or practice a peerless martial art. You became the world's number one master in such a short time, so it's very likely that you encountered both."
As she spoke, her bright eyes glanced at Chu Li. Her gaze was mesmerizing.
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "You're right, Ninth Princess. I've eaten some miraculous fruit and reached the Innate Mastery's Boundary. Then, I came across some miraculous and antique martial arts and advanced by leaps and bounds. Unfortunately, I'm suffering now. What I've learned is too varied and I'm not specialized."
He was curious as to why the Ninth Princess wanted to know his background.
Xue Luoyu said, "I heard you're close to Sun Mingyue."
Chu Li nodded. "We do have some ties."
"Love is inevitable," Xue Luoyu said. "Unfortunately, she has entered the Great Light Surpassing Realm. It will be difficult for you two to be together."
She said these two sentences softly, but Chu Li could clearly see that she did not care about feelings at all. It was as if she was looking down on all living things.
Chu Li sighed and said, "It's inevitable to part and reunite."
Xue Luoyu glanced at him with her bright eyes and said indifferently, "Are you willing to give up?"
"What if I don't?" Chu Li shook his head. "If I get close, the Great Light Surpassing Realm won't let me. She can't leave the Great Light Surpassing Realm either. Things in this world often don't go according to plan."
Xue Luoyu gently shook her head. "I know you haven't given up. A woman like Sun Mingyue would never give up if she were a man."
Chu Li said no more.
He had always been wary of this Ninth Princess and would not open his heart to her.
Xue Luoyu said, "This time, Sun Mingyue will also be attending the Sword Meet of Forgetfulness."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
"You don't know, do you?" Xue Luoyu asked.
Chu Li shook his head.
Xue Luoyu said, "Sun Mingyue is the first person to enter the Great Light Surpassing Realm in a thousand years. Her understanding of the Great Light Scripture is beyond imagination. In less than a year, she directly entered the ranks of Supreme Grade. Her speed is so fast that no one in a thousand years can match her."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
He really did not know this. Ever since he entered the White Dew Clan, he entered the foreign battlefield. After a life and death battle, he was sent to the Front Palace Department before he could catch his breath. Moreover, Sun Mingyue was also in Isolated Cultivation. He did not want to disturb her meditation.
Xue Luoyu said, "Sun Mingyue's current reputation is even greater than Song Wuji's back then. Her future is also greater than Song Wuji's."
Chu Li smiled. "Song Wuji is already the Thunder Pool Master. Is there a better future than the Thunder Pool Master?"
"Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, sun, moon, stars, and Taihao. She has a chance to enter Taihao Peak," Xue Luoyu said.
Chu Li asked, "Can disciples from the Great Light Surpassing Realm enter Taihao Peak?"
"Taihao Peak is selected every ten years. Anyone from the Outland can enter as long as they have enough aptitude and martial arts." Xue Luoyu said lightly, "Chu Li, you have a chance too."
Chu Li shook his head and laughed. "My aptitude is not good enough."
"All Supreme Grade masters under thirty years old have a chance." Xue Luoyu said, "Otherwise, why would everyone participate in the Sword Meet of Forgetfulness?"
Chu Li came to a realization. "I see!"
The Sword Meet of Forgetfulness invited first rank and Supreme Grade masters under thirty years old to enter Taihao Peak. It was not just for fame.
Xue Luoyu glanced at him with a faint smile. "Are you tempted?"
Chu Li said, "I'm not that ambitious. I'm doing well in the Rain Master Palace."
"Don't be so cautious just because I'm from the Rain Master Palace." Xue Luoyu said, "Who doesn't want to enter Taihao Peak?"
Chu Li shook his head.
Xue Luoyu said, "The antique study cultivated by the disciples of Taihao Peak is earth-shattering. It's not something the other eight divisions can compare to. The heart technique of the Rain Master Palace is even worse. Are you really not tempted?"
Chu Li said, "I have no hope."
"Sun Mingyue will most likely enter. If you want to be with Sun Mingyue …" Xue Luoyu said.
Chu Li looked at her doubtfully. "Why does the Ninth Princess want me to enter Taihao Peak?"
"Once you enter Taihao Peak, the status of the Rain Master Palace will rise." Xue Luoyu said, "People will be more wary of the Rain Master Palace."
Chu Li frowned. "Is there someone who dares to scheme against the Rain Master Palace?"
Xue Luoyu said calmly, "Do you think the Outland is a paradise?"
Chu Li nodded thoughtfully. "It seems like the other divisions are trying to encroach on us."
"It's good that you understand." Xue Luoyu said, "Don't think that the nine divisions are harmonious. They're actually plotting against each other. Other than Taihao Peak and Heaven Shaking Pavilion, which are high above and don't want to fight each other, the other seven divisions are fighting each other endlessly. They're all thinking of ways to weaken the other six divisions."
Chu Li sighed. "We're facing a great enemy. The Heavenly Demons and Asura are eyeing us. Why aren't we working together?"
"The Heavenly Demons and Asura have been fighting against the Outland." Xue Luoyu said, "We're used to it."
Chu Li said, "The situation now is very serious."
"Aren't we diverting the trouble? The Asura's attention is on the Lower Realm." Xue Luoyu shook her head. "Once the Asura is distracted, they won't be a threat to us."
Chu Li's face darkened.
Xue Luoyu said, "If you want to change the Elders Guild's decision, it's better to enter Taihao Peak."
