Chu Li had already obtained the secret code and communication method from the middle-aged man's mind, so he coughed lightly outside the residence and quickly left. He had already made a few secret marks.
There was a middle-aged man in the residence who heard the coughing and frowned as he floated out. He saw the secret code at the corner of the wall and pondered for a moment before following the code and disappearing into the alley.
Chu Li floated into the residence. There were no maids inside and it was empty. He quickly entered the main hall and opened a stone slab at the corner of the wall before taking out the box beneath it.
He quickly put the stone slab back and disappeared from the house before reappearing in the forest.
The purple lacquer box was the size of a book and was unusually heavy. It was obvious that the item inside was not simple.
He was not in a hurry to open the box to see the treasure inside. He wanted to take the opportunity to observe the Great Light Surpassing State's style.
The two women suddenly became nervous when they saw him appear but did not notice anyone following them.
Sun Mingyue asked, "You didn't lure it over?"
Chu Li replied, "I've lured it elsewhere. The item should be here."
He patted the box in his hand.
"He didn't carry it with him." Sun Mingyue was surprised.
Logically speaking, given how important the Great Light Scripture was, he should have kept it with him at all times, lest Chu Li took the opportunity to lure him away and steal it.
Chu Li shook his head and handed over the box.
Sun Mingyue asked, "You're not opening it?"
Meng Hanxing smiled. "Chu Li, we only need to take the Great Light Scripture. The rest is naturally yours."
Chu Li said, "Then I'll open it."
The Heavenly Demonic Orb in his precordium suddenly appeared. The Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique was activated and the Heavenly Demonic Energy in the box was instantly devoured.
The box contained a mechanism that could only be opened by those who cultivated the Heavenly Demonic Power. If anyone else opened it, it would explode. Not only would the box shatter, but the person who opened it would also be blasted to pieces.
Chu Li's Heavenly Demonic Power and Heavenly Demonic Energy came from the same source, so it was indeed effective.
He sensed that the danger had been eliminated and slowly opened the box. A thin booklet lay in the middle with a fist-sized statue on top of it. There was nothing else.
Chu Li's Heavenly Demonic Power immediately boiled and resonated with the statue.
It was about the size of a fist, and it was completely black and lusterless. At first glance, it was impossible to see what was carved on it, but upon closer inspection, one could faintly see that it was a woman. Her facial features were beautiful and moving, and her eyes were gentle and charming. She was currently performing a strange dance, and it was exceptionally beautiful, as if she was floating in the air.
With just a single glance, he couldn't help but want to keep looking. Moreover, the longer he looked, the more he felt that the woman in front of him had come to life. She was dancing gracefully in the air, her beauty indescribable.
"No wonder …" When Meng Hanxing saw the statue, he sighed and said, "So it's the Demonic Dancing Statue, the Demonic Dancing Form!"
Chu Li turned to look at her.
Meng Hanxing gently waved his hand and said, "Don't touch it."
Chu Li nodded. Although he did not sense any danger, he did not touch it. Instead, he tilted the box and pulled out the thin booklet from under the statue and handed it over.
Meng Hanxing took the booklet and glanced at it with a smile. "This is indeed the second volume of the Great Light Scripture. Chu Li, thank you very much!"
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Meng, you don't have to be so courteous. What is this Demonic Dance?"
Meng Hanxing passed the thin booklet to Sun Mingyue and muttered, "The Heavenly Demon has no form, and its transformations are unpredictable. It's impossible to guard against it."
Chu Li nodded.
"However, the cultivation method of the Heavenly Demonic Power isn't formless. The main idea of the Heavenly Demonic Power is to achieve formlessness from having a form." Meng Hanxing said, "The Twelve Forms of the Heavenly Demon are the twelve main meridians of the Heavenly Demonic Power. Each of the twelve forms has its own cultivation method."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. He really did not know about this.
He did not expect the Great Light Surpassing State to know the Heavenly Demon so well.
Meng Hanxing said, "The Demonic Dancing Form is one of the forms. The power of the Demonic Dancing Form is amazing. It can devour all spirits in the world. Men, women, and even birds and beasts cannot resist it."
Chu Li said, "Isn't this power invincible?"
"Of course, you can be invincible if you cultivate it to the extreme, but it's not easy to cultivate the Heavenly Demonic Power." Meng Hanxing shook his head and said, "You can advance by leaps and bounds in the early stages, but it's difficult to advance in the later stages. It's better than the martial arts of our Grandmasters, but no matter how powerful it is, it's difficult to perfect it."
Chu Li sighed. "It's the same principle in the world."
"Exactly." Meng Hanxing said, "The Demonic Dancing Form can restrain divination and senses. It seems like the Demonic Dancing Form is a treasure. Unfortunately, the more treasured it is, the more one should not touch it. The majesty of the Great Heavenly Demon is profound and cannot be blasphemed."
Chu Li frowned. "If that's the case, the Heavenly Demon in the Demonic Dancing Form is hard to predict?"
"Even the Heavenly Demon is hard to predict," Meng Hanxing said. "It's impossible to guard against and very troublesome."
Chu Li asked, "Is there no way to restrain it?"
Meng Hanxing sighed. "Unless the top-notch masters of the Heaven Shaking Pavilion personally predict it, then it'll be possible. However, if these Heavenly Demons behave themselves and don't affect the general trend, it'll be hard to predict."
Chu Li slowly nodded.
No wonder the Grandmasters were so afraid of the Heavenly Demons. There was indeed no good way. It was just like how humans treated incurable diseases. They could only defend themselves, but it was hard to cure them.
Meng Hanxing said, "Our biggest weakness is that we don't know enough about the Heavenly Demon. Of the Twelve Forms of the Heavenly Demon, I only know the Demonic Dancing Form and the Demonic Flying Form. I don't know the rest."
Chu Li sighed. "Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win. If this goes on …"
"But there's no need to worry too much. No matter how powerful the Heavenly Demon is, as long as they do something that affects the general trend, they won't be able to escape the Heaven Shaking Pavilion's prediction. Even if they sneak in, they won't be able to do much," Meng Hanxing said.
Chu Li slowly nodded but disagreed.
If this went on, the Heavenly Demon would have a better understanding of the Grandmasters while the Grandmasters did not know the ins and outs of the Heavenly Demon. In the end, the Grandmasters' weakness would be grasped and they might even surpass the Grandmasters. When that time came, there would be no need for them to hide. They could just attack with an overwhelming force.
Sun Mingyue said, "Master's Senior, let's go back and talk."
"Yes, let's go back and talk." Meng Hanxing nodded.
The three of them suddenly disappeared and appeared outside Sun Mingyue's courtyard in the next moment.
In the gazebo in the courtyard, Chu Li and Meng Hanxing sat down while Sun Mingyue brewed tea.
Meng Hanxing took out a thin booklet and sighed. "This matter is very serious but it's also a good thing."
Sun Mingyue said, "It reminds us to be wary of the Heavenly Demon."
"Yes …" Meng Hanxing sighed. "In the past, there was a formation that prevented the Heavenly Demon from entering, but now they know that it's no longer possible."
"Can the Heavenly Demon really cultivate our Great Light Scripture?" Sun Mingyue frowned. "The Great Light Scripture and the Heavenly Demonic Power are like fire and water."
Chu Li said, "That Huang Qing's injuries might be because he cultivated the Great Light Scripture."
Meng Hanxing said, "No matter what, the Heavenly Demon can sneak in. We need to deal with it properly or else the Great Light Scripture will be taken by the Heavenly Demon. That'll be troublesome!"
When she thought of this, she felt a sense of crisis.
Suddenly, a woman in yellow fluttered over and knocked on the door outside the courtyard. "Junior Sister Sun!"
Sun Mingyue said softly, "Senior Sister Hu, please come in."
When the woman in yellow entered and saw that Meng Hanxing was also there, she quickly gave a fist salute with an excited look on her face.
Meng Hanxing said, "Yu Xian, what's the good news?"
"The disciples of Taihao Peak have come to recruit Junior Sister Sun into Taihao Peak!" the woman in yellow said excitedly.
"Oh —?" Meng Hanxing was surprised.
