His mind raced as he raised his head and said with a smile, "What's with this Soul Devouring Art?"
"It's an incomplete version. It's called Soul Devouring Technique but it's not powerful at all. It's much weaker than our Heavenly Demonic Dance or Heavenly Demonic Song. That's why no one cultivates it," Lu Qingxue said. "You have to be careful too. If you really cultivate it, be careful of the backlash."
Chu Li said slowly, "This Soul Devouring Technique and the Cloud Slashing Power heart technique are of the same origin. They're very compatible. It's likely to be the heart technique for the next level of the Cloud Slashing Power. I'll give it a try."
He thought about not revealing it and cultivate it himself.
However, he restrained his greed in the end. To take, one must first give.
He said it openly because Lu Qingxue and the others had cultivated the Soul Devouring Technique and it was difficult to hide it. Also, he had many divine techniques and did not value the Cloud Slashing Power that much.
Moreover, he could form a deep friendship with the Dancing Butterfly Sect and influence them. This would be very convenient for him in the future.
Moreover, although he possessed the Life and Death Scripture and the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, which allowed him to come back to life, Qin Mengyun did not know that she had indeed exposed her secret technique to save him. He had to return this favor.
Lu Qingxue was stunned and looked at him in surprise.
Chu Li passed the Soul Devouring Technique to her.
Lu Qingxue took it and slowly flipped through it. She nodded. "It's indeed of the same origin. Is it really the heart technique for the next level of the Cloud Slashing Power?"
Chu Li nodded. "Most likely. My instincts are very accurate. … Senior Lu, we're really lucky!"
"We're basking in your glory." Lu Qingxue put down the Soul Devouring Technique secret manual and smiled. "I didn't expect to be so lucky. Thank you!"
Chu Li waved his hand.
Lu Qingxue said, "The Flying Heaven Sect and Profound Heart Sect are going to fight?"
Chu Li frowned. "I'm trying to think of a way to stop it. If there's a war, I don't know how many casualties there will be. Unfortunately, I'm not strong enough to stop them."
"Then you have to be careful." Lu Qingxue said, "Profound Heart Sect is stronger than you think. Also, they're close to the Sky Wind Sect. Be careful not to be tricked."
Chu Li fist saluted.
For her to be able to say this much, it was clear that the Dancing Butterfly Sect's information network was extremely fast, even better than that of the Flying Heaven Sect. This was the unique advantage of the Dancing Butterfly Sect. As a woman, it was very easy for her to obtain information.
If Chu Li had heard of this earlier, he would not have needed to spend so much effort to go to the Heavenly Wind Sect. He would have been able to conclude that the two sects had formed an alliance.
"If you really want to fight, you can ask the Sword Demon Sect for help." Lu Qingxue came up with an idea for him. "You are friends with Murong Chou. The people of the Demonic Sword Sect are not scheming and are very good to your friends. You can trust him."
Otherwise, the Dancing Butterfly Sect wouldn't have let the matter rest after their disciple was snatched by the Sword Demon Sect's disciple.
Chu Li nodded.

At dawn the next day, he returned to the Flying Heaven Sect. He was prepared to cultivate the Cloud Slashing Power Technique and master the last three layers. His cultivation base would advance by another layer, and the next time he met the elders of the Profound Heart Sect, he would give them a surprise.
The Flying Heaven Sect was empty, with almost no one around. The only ones left behind were some old fellows who preferred peace and quiet. The entire Flying Heaven Sect seemed to have quietened down, giving off a feeling that the place was deserted.
Chu Li had just returned to his courtyard and sat down with a helpless look on his face.
He could see that Qin Mengyun had a good impression of him. If they continued to interact, it was very likely that he would win her heart. This made Chu Li run away, not daring to stay any longer.
He did not come here to talk about love or find a woman, but to find out the truth of the Heavenly Demonic Realm. He wanted to step into the upper echelons of the Heavenly Demonic Realm and change the decision of the Heavenly Demonic Realm.
After these days of observation and analysis, he now knew that the Heavenly Demonic Realm was completely different from the Beyond Heavenly Realm. There was no Elders Guild in the Beyond Heavenly Realm. They were all sects and did not belong to each other.
There were also ordinary people who could not cultivate martial arts and directly belonged to the surrounding sects. There was no government or imperial court in the Heavenly Demonic Realm.
Moreover, the alliance between the Heavenly Demonic Realm and the Asura was not the idea of the entire Heavenly Demonic Realm. It was the doing of a certain sect in the Heavenly Demonic Realm. He had already asked Qin Mengyun to help him find out which sect or sects were working together with the Asura to deal with the Celestials.
The various sects in the Heavenly Demonic Realm did not have any intention of invading the Beyond Heavenly Realm. They were just curious about the Beyond Heavenly Realm and wanted to explore it. However, because of the killing, old grudges were born and could not be resolved.
Many sects had never come into contact with the Beyond Heavenly Realm. Many of them had great resentment towards the Beyond Heavenly Realm and wanted to ruthlessly deal with the Celestials. Therefore, they joined forces with the Asura to launch a big operation to severely damage the Beyond Heavenly Realm.
For those who were at the top of martial arts, the key was to quickly settle their debts.
Among these sects, the Flying Heaven Sect belonged to the forces of the Beyond Heavenly Realm and also had connections with the Asura. He needed to quickly step into a high position to be able to influence the Flying Heaven Sect's decisions.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and Hu Tianlai appeared.
After entering the door, he waved his hand to indicate that Chu Li did not need to be overly courteous. Then, he directly came to the stone table and sat opposite Chu Li. "Chu Li, you've done a great deed!"
Chu Li was stunned.
Hu Tianlai said, "The Profound Heart Sect Elder who died outside the Tianfeng Sect was you, right?"
Chu Li asked, "Master's Junior, why do you think so?"
"The people outside thought that it was the Sword Demon Sect, but I know it was you." Hu Tianlai laughed. "What a powerful method to be able to kill so many Profound Heart Sect Elders!"
Chu Li revealed a bitter smile. "I was almost killed. Fortunately, Miss Qin from the Dancing Butterfly Sect saved me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to see you again, Master's Junior."
"Was it that dangerous?" Hu Tianlai asked.
Chu Li slowly nodded. "They suddenly used the Heavenly Demonic Disintegration Technique in the end. I couldn't dodge it in time. … Did the Tianfeng Sect and Profound Heart Sect no longer join forces?"
"It should be because of the Sword Demon Sect," Hu Tianlai said. "This time, it can be considered as taking advantage of the situation. The Profound Heart Sect and the Tianfeng Sect did indeed join forces. It was really dangerous. I almost made a huge mistake."
If it were not for the Profound Heart Sect's suspicious and cautious nature, they would have attacked directly after the two sects joined forces without any strategy. The Flying Heaven Sect's vitality would have been greatly damaged by now. They might even have been in danger of being annihilated.
It was because of the Profound Heart Sect's cautiousness that gave Wu Yuansi the opportunity to use the Sword Demon Sect to scare away the other two sects and sow discord between the two sects.
After all, the people died in front of the Tianfeng Sect. With the Profound Heart Sect's suspicious nature, it was inevitable that they would suspect the Tianfeng Sect of taking the opportunity to frame the Flying Heaven Sect or the Sword Demon Sect to weaken the Profound Heart Sect's power.
Chu Li said, "So, the three sects won't go to war?"
"It'll be difficult." Hu Tianlai shook his head. "It'll be difficult to raise this anger. We have to consider the consequences of a war."
Chu Li smiled. "That's good."
Hu Tianlai sized him up. "Yuansi, you've made a great contribution this time. Is there anything you want?"
Chu Li shook his head. "I'm doing very well now. There's nothing I want."
"You've made such a great contribution. Naturally, you'll be rewarded," Hu Tianlai said.
Chu Li thought about it. "Why don't you give me a treasure sword? I obtained a sword technique from the Sword Demon Sect."
