He was at a loss as he lost all sense of his surroundings. His mind was in a strange state where he did not know the past, the future, or his own existence. The only thing in front of him were the twisting runes as if they were alive and telling him something.
His heart was as still as cold water. He did not chase after the runes and only immersed himself in his own state of mind. He was at a loss and did not know how much time had passed.
He sat there motionlessly with his eyes empty. One look and it was obvious that his mind had flown away from his body to somewhere unknown.
Sun Mingyue looked at him and shook her head. She knew that he did not want to give up and was determined to understand the Scroll of Indifference.
She understood his thoughts.
Chu Li's strongest point was his comprehension. There was nothing he could not understand. No matter what kind of mystical martial arts or secret skills it was, he could understand its wonders. That was why he was able to achieve what he had today. Compared to his aptitude, he relied on his comprehension.
With his comprehension, it would be strange if he did not want to understand the Scroll of Indifference. She did not try to persuade him. Even though she knew that forcefully understanding it would cause him to go mad, she did not say anything as she knew it was useless.
Xue Luoyu turned to look at him and asked in a low voice, "Is Chu Li okay?"
"He's fine." Sun Mingyue shook her head.
Xue Luoyu said, "Don't go mad!"
Few of the young heroes who came to the Sword Meet of Indifference were trying their best to understand the Scroll of Indifference because they no longer had any hope. Almost no one had benefited from the Scroll of Indifference in the past thousand years.
However, there were countless people who suffered from Qigong Deviation due to the Heavenly Book of Indifference. Therefore, everyone was cautious and did not dare to forcefully comprehend it. It was fine if they did not comprehend anything. They would occasionally glance at it and think about it, not wasting their energy.
Sun Mingyue smiled and said, "He knows what he's doing."
"I think he's almost there." Xue Luoyu frowned and said, "Let's talk to him."
"Don't disturb him now." Sun Mingyue shook her head.
Xue Luoyu shook her head helplessly. "What if he really goes mad?"
"He won't go mad so easily. Otherwise, he would have gone mad countless times." Sun Mingyue smiled. "Don't worry, Ninth Princess. He's not only from the Rain Master Palace but also my friend."
"Well, I was overthinking," Xue Luoyu said helplessly.
Sun Mingyue was truly worried. She could not wait for Chu Li to wake up and stop trying to comprehend it. If he continued to be so engrossed in it, he would definitely end up going astray. Sun Mingyue had just arrived at the Grandmaster's Boundary, so she probably did not know how powerful the Heaven's Scroll of Indifference was.
However, given the current situation, she knew that there was nothing she could do. Sun Mingyue would definitely not allow her to disturb Chu Li.
Indeed, Sun Mingyue didn't want anyone to disturb them. As Zheng Yueming and Deng Tianlun spoke, their voices unknowingly grew louder. Sun Mingyue glanced at them indifferently. Her clear eyes were like ice and snow, causing them to calm down and shut their mouths.
Time passed slowly. Chu Li slowly closed his eyes and remained motionless.
Although Xue Luoyu was sitting on the ice block with Sun Mingyue between her and Chu Li, her mind was still focused on Chu Li. She saw him close his eyes and his aura grow weaker. It was as if he had completely disappeared from her sight and could not be sensed. It was as if he had completely disappeared from the world.
"There's something wrong with Chu Li. Is he possessed?" Xue Luoyu lowered her voice and asked Sun Mingyue.
Her red phoenix eyes revealed a worried look.
Chu Li was related to whether he could enter Taihao Peak and whether he could give the Rain Master's Palace great confidence. Moreover, he was also supported by the Rain Master's Palace's powerful strength. She valued Chu Li more and more and was more concerned about him.
"He won't," Sun Mingyue said.
She knew that Chu Li had a mystical technique that allowed him to turn life into death and death into life. It was no different from a real death. He could hide it from almost everyone, so this situation was not surprising at all.
"What's going on?" Xue Luoyu frowned and asked.
Sun Mingyue said, "Don't worry, Ninth Princess. He's deep in thought. That's why he's like this. He'll be fine once he figures it out."
"I'm just afraid that someone will challenge him," Xue Luoyu said.
At this time, it was already time for the Sword Meeting to begin. Four elders with white beards and eyebrows floated down from the sky and landed at the bottom of the precipice. They stood in mid-air above the precipice and looked down at the crowd. They closed fist saluted.
The elder with white hair and a ruddy complexion said in a deep voice, "Young heroes, we'll have to change the style of the Sword Meeting this time. This time, we'll take out three sets of secret manuals."
As he spoke, he took out three secret manuals from his inner pocket and spread them out.
Everyone present was either first rank or supreme rank. They had extraordinary eyesight and could clearly see the three secret manuals.
"Flowing Water Godly Sword."
"Breeze Steps."
"Secret of Palm Techniques."
Everyone could not help but feel refreshed.
They originally thought that the secret manuals taken out by the Cliff of Forgetfulness were not that big of a deal. They might be some incomplete or mediocre secret manuals. They never thought that it would be these three.
Two of these three secret manuals were very famous. The Flowing Water Godly Sword was a sword technique practiced by a swordsman a thousand years ago. He dominated the Ninth Heaven for a hundred years and later died an unnatural death. It belonged to the grudges of the martial arts world and outsiders did not know about it.
This Flowing Water Godly Sword technique was really mysterious. It flowed smoothly and impenetrably. It was truly a rare sword technique in the world. It was comparable to the top-notch sword technique in the City of Ten Thousand Swords.
The Breeze Steps was also a famous step technique in the world. It was also considered a Light-body Technique and was exquisite and mysterious.
Although many people had the Void Diversion Technique, very few of them would be able to use it in a fight. Firstly, it would consume a huge amount of spirit and inner energy. Unlike Chu Li, who had endless inner energy, it was rare to see someone with a strong spirit.
After using the Void Diversion Technique once, there would be a period of weakness. During this period, one would be at their weakest. Therefore, unless one had the confidence to kill in one hit, very few people would use the Void Diversion Technique.
The Breeze Steps was an exquisite step technique. When combined with sword techniques, palm techniques, and fist techniques, it could amplify their power. If one mastered the Breeze Steps, they would be able to protect themselves. Even if they could not win, they would be able to dodge.
As for the secret of Palm Techniques, although it was not well-known, it must be extraordinary for it to be on par with the other two secret manuals. Everyone's eyes instantly burned with passion. Even Sun Mingyue and the others were interested.
Even if they did not practice it themselves, they could use it as a reference to increase their understanding and understanding of martial arts. It would be very beneficial.
The old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion kept the secret manual and chuckled. "This time, we will organize a Challenge Tournament and let everyone meet each other through martial arts. Everyone said that the previous Sword Conference was not exciting enough and that they were not nervous enough. They gathered together to joke and joke around. Let's experiment this time and see how the Challenge Tournament is."
Everyone immediately started discussing.
Sun Mingyue looked at Chu Li's state and shook her head helplessly. It seemed that he would miss this time. It would be impossible for him to come out in a short period of time and it was not a good idea to disturb him.
Amidst the buzz of discussion, the old man spoke again. "We will use two rounds. The first round will be a challenge. As long as you can go through three rounds without losing, you will enter the next round. The second round will be a duel to determine the top three. Does anyone have any objections?"
Everyone shook their heads and looked excited.
No matter what their background was, as long as they brought out their real skills, other than the disciples of the Nine Divisions, all the disciples were eager to have a Challenge Tournament like this.
"Alright then, let's begin. I have prepared six rings." As the old man spoke, he waved his hand.
Immediately, a group of disciples of Wang Qing Cliff carried ice cubes in.
