Zhao Lingfeng's expression changed as he quickly said, "Brother Feng, this is too precious, you can't accept it!"
Feng Changsheng scoffed, "Brother Zhao, are you not going to accept it?"
"This …" Zhao Lingfeng shook his head helplessly, "Why give me such a precious treasure, just give me the Earth Demonic Stone!"
Compared to the Sky Orb, the Earth Demonic Stone was nothing special. It could only conceal one's aura and did not have much use other than that, so it was fine if it was gone. At most, it could not be used to plant a spy in the Outer Heavenly Realm.
The reason why Chu Li valued the Earth Demonic Stone was because he had other intentions. He wanted to enter the Asura Realm, which was why he needed the Earth Demonic Stone so much. However, the Earth Demonic Stone was not as useful as the Sky Orb.
To be able to peek into the First Heaven was a great temptation for him.
The Scroll of Indifference was an antique study from the First Heaven and he had never been able to fully understand it. If he could use the Sky Orb to peek into the First Heaven and comprehend the Scroll of Indifference, it would be extremely beneficial to him.
Feng Changsheng said, "I lost the Earth Demonic Stone and I'm too ashamed to face you, Brother Zhao. If you don't accept the Sky Orb, you'll be cutting off all ties with me!"
"Fine, I'll accept it!" Zhao Lingfeng waved his hand and sighed, "Brother Feng, you're too serious. The Earth Demonic Stone is not a precious treasure, why do you have to be so serious?"
"Whether it's precious or not is another matter." Feng Changsheng said, "The technique of the orb is here."
He took out a thin booklet from his inner pocket and handed it to Chu Li. "If your spirit is not strong enough, you must not force yourself. Otherwise, if you suffer a backlash, your life will be in danger. Yuan Si, you are in good spirits, so you can give it a try."
Zhao Lingfeng laughed, "Is it that dangerous?"
"Even with the Sky Orb, it's not easy to peek into the First Heaven." Feng Changsheng solemnly said, "You must bear the price. Brother Zhao, although your cultivation is deep, the strength of your soul is inferior to Yuan Si's. It's best if you don't try it. Otherwise, if it's light then you will suffer a cultivation deviation, and if it's heavy, you will lose your life!"
"Oh …?" Zhao Lingfeng looked at him in disbelief.
Feng Changsheng sternly said, "Brother Zhao, this is not a joke. The reason why our sect only has so many disciples is because our talents are limited. People with souls as strong as Yuansi and I are extremely rare. What a pity for Yuansi, it would be better if she could enter our sect."
"So, you're saying that we've misled Yuan Si?" Zhao Lingfeng laughed.
Feng Changsheng nodded. "That's right. If he could enter our sect, he would definitely be better than the current him. What a pity! … Brother Zhao, although your talent is extremely high and rare in this world, it's a pity that your soul force isn't strong enough and is inferior to ours, so you absolutely cannot use this Skysplit Bead! "
"Alright." Zhao Lingfeng nodded helplessly. "I won't touch it. Give it to Yuansi."
Feng Changsheng smiled and looked at Chu Li. "Yuan Si, don't blame our Sect Leader. He treasures Junior Brother Yi too much. After all, you're an outsider."
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, Senior Feng. Even if I'm resentful, I won't have the intention to seek revenge. I just want to work hard and make Sect Leader Cheng stop looking down on me. I don't have any hatred!"
"That's good." Feng Changsheng smiled and said, "Then I'll take my leave."
He gave Zhao Lingfeng a fist salute and suddenly disappeared.
Only the two of them were left in the basilica.
Zhao Lingfeng's face darkened. "Is that Yi Qingsong really that powerful?"
Chu Li nodded. "His talent is extremely rare. I suspect that the Earth Demon Stone is with him."
Zhao Lingfeng nodded. "Since Brother Feng has already given the Skysplit Bead as compensation, it's not appropriate to investigate the Earth Demon Stone anymore."
"Sect Leader, there's something fishy about this." Chu Li pondered. "Why would he steal the Earth Demon Stone and take such a huge risk? You should know that the Dream Faction is not an ordinary faction. If he were to steal from their own disciple, it would be easy for them to find out. If that happens, the Yi Family will be finished!"
Zhao Lingfeng remained silent.
Chu Li said, "Could it be that the Earth Demon Stone has something that we don't know about? If not, why would he take such a huge risk just to hide his aura and steal an Earth Demon Stone? That's not right. "
"What are you trying to say?" Zhao Lingfeng frowned. "Just say it."
Chu Li said, "I think there's something strange about this Yi Qingsong."
"What's so strange about him?" Zhao Lingfeng asked.
Chu Li hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "I have a bold guess."
"Say it!" Zhao Lingfeng glared at him. "Don't be so hesitant!"
Chu Li said, "Could he be an Asura?"
"Hmm …?" Zhao Lingfeng's expression changed. His eyes were cold, and the entire basilica suddenly became heavy. The air seemed to have frozen, and the temperature dropped ten degrees. It was as cold as ice.
Zhao Lingfeng immediately retracted his aura, and the surrounding area relaxed.
Chu Li was shocked. What a powerful cultivation level! He was no match for Zhao Lingfeng!
Zhao Lingfeng's cultivation level was the highest he had ever encountered. His earth-shattering aura made him feel like a small boat in a huge wave. He had no power to resist.
Zhao Lingfeng took a deep breath and said calmly, "Is that true?"
Chu Li said, "It's just my guess."
"Asura …" Zhao Lingfeng did not say anything, then slowly said, "This is no small matter! Yuansi, you're really bold! "
Chu Li said, "I've seen Asuras before, and I've fought them before, so I'm familiar with their aura. I've met Yi Qingsong and had a few words with him. His aura was obscured by a treasure, so it was very vague. However, I could vaguely feel a hint of Asura's aura, so I made a bold guess. If I'm wrong, please don't blame me, Sect Leader!"
"I won't blame you." Zhao Lingfeng shook his head. "It's rare for you to make such a bold guess!"
He was very satisfied. Most people would not say such a guess to him, the Sect Leader, to avoid embarrassing themselves in the future. Moreover, this was a serious matter, and it would be troublesome if he was wrong.
This showed that Wu Yuansi was very sincere to him, the Sect Leader.
Chu Li said, "If it's really Asura, Sect Leader, what do we do to snatch him?"
"Snatching him won't work." Zhao Lingfeng sighed. "He's already in the Great Dream Faction. Snatching him will only make things worse. However, the most important thing now is to confirm it."
Chu Li nodded. "Leave it to me."
"What are you going to do?" Zhao Lingfeng asked. "We can't take the risk. If your guess is right, the Great Dream Faction's protection of Yi Qingsong is much stronger than we imagined. If we offend him, they will retaliate like a storm. We're currently in a tight battle with the Profound Heart Faction, so we can't afford to offend them."
Chu Li hesitated.
Zhao Lingfeng thought for a while and said, "Don't do anything. Let me think of a way … Especially don't leave the Sect, and study the Sky Illuminating Orb."
"Yes." Chu Li agreed without hesitation.
The Great Dream Faction was indeed troublesome. If he was not careful and angered them, the Flying Heaven Faction would have to face the combined attacks of the Profound Heart Faction and the Great Dream Faction. They would not be a match for them, so it was better to slow down and wait for the Profound Heart Faction's revenge.
Zhao Lingfeng waved his hand. "Go, but be careful. Don't go astray!"
