The Rising Sun Hill was five thousand miles away from Chong Ming Town. It would take a few days to get there. By the time he returned, Siao Qi and Su Ru might have already left the Public House.
The Rising Sun Mountain was related to the Multiform Demon Lord. Could it be that there really was his inheritance?
He did not know about the Multiform Demon Lord's other abilities, but the ability to change his face was strange. If he could obtain it, he would be able to create thousands of clones, and with his Omniscient Mirror, he could do even more things!
He got up from the gazebo and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. The lake in his heart that had always been calm was turbulent and difficult to calm down. Reluctance, resentment, and melancholy were all mixed together like a mess, making him indescribably irritated.
"Knock, knock." The courtyard door was pushed open after someone knocked on it. Xiao Qi, who was dressed in white, fluttered in.
She slowly walked towards Chu Li. Her jade-like face was right in front of him, and her faint fragrance wafted into his nose.
When Xiao Qi saw Chu Li's solemn expression and cold gaze, she felt a little guilty. She explained, "The master from Snow Lunar Pavilion sent a letter. She's injured and needs to go into Isolated Cultivation. She asked us to hurry over as soon as possible … Once she goes into Isolated Cultivation, I don't know when she'll come out."
Chu Li extended his hand and gestured for her to sit down. He frowned and asked, "Are your injuries serious?"
Xiao Qi nodded.
Chu Li let out a long sigh. "Everything in this world is hard to achieve. When do we leave?"
"I've already sent a letter to ask if there's any way to delay it." Xiao Qi frowned. "If there's no way, I'll probably have to leave in six days."
"Six days …" Chu Li's mouth was full of bitterness as if he had eaten a bitter pill.
Xiao Qi said, "I don't want to tell you in advance so that it won't affect everyone's mood. All good things must come to an end, so we'll part ways one day."
Chu Li pondered. "Six days …"
Xiao Qi looked at him.
Chu Li said, "It's almost enough! Since you're still here, I'll set up a formation to hide the Jade Guardian Island. Others won't be able to enter. I'll activate it when you're back. "
He had long been prepared for this day. Previously, he was only angry at her for hiding it from him. Since she really wanted to leave, he would not stop her.
"What formation?"
"Disorienting Formation and Reversing Five Elements Formation." Chu Li wanted to copy the Tai Hua Valley's formation and complete it within six days. If it were any other formation, he would not have enough time and its might would be unknown.
"… Alright." Xiao Qi could not refuse.
Chu Li fell silent.
Siao Qi opened her mouth but did not know what to say.
The gazebo was silent. A cool breeze blew, and the bamboo forest rustled. Time seemed to freeze at this moment as the two sat facing each other in silence.
"Bang!" Xue Ling suddenly pushed the door open and saw the two people in the pavilion. He hurriedly came in and curtsied.
Siao Qi waved her hand and hurriedly stood up. "Chu Li, don't force yourself. If you really can't do it, just send Second Eldest Sister away."
Chu Li nodded.
"I'm leaving." Xiao Qi hurriedly left the courtyard.
Xue Ling blinked her bright eyes in confusion. She felt that the Third Lady's behavior was a little strange, but she did not know what was strange about it. In any case, it was different from usual.
"Don't think too much. How is Liu Bi doing?"
"Sister Liu has agreed."
"That's good. Let's move on to the next step!" Chu Li muttered.
Xue Ling said excitedly, "Alright!"
"Take your time. Don't panic, "Chu Li said.
"Yes, Master!" Xue Ling was still excited.

It was not difficult for Chu Li to stack the two formations, especially after he had thoroughly understood the formation of Tai Hua Valley. Five days later, he finished setting up the formation. The Island of Jade Guardian instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The original position of the Island of Jade Guardian became a calm and clear lake, no different from any other place.
Even if a boat passed by, it would not be able to find the Island of Jade Guardian. The boat would automatically slide away. The people on the boat would not be able to detect any abnormalities.
After personally experiencing Chu Li's formation, Siao Tieying was amazed. It was indeed a well-known formation. Its power was really amazing. In terms of defense, it was enough to defend against a Grandmaster.
Siao Tieying let Zhao Qingshan and the others try to break into the island, but they could not find a way in.
According to Siao Tieying's knowledge, the people who knew about the formation were almost extinct. Even if there were, it would only be in the Imperial House. Or perhaps in the four major sects, there would not be too many people who knew about it.
Now that the House of High Dukes had the protection of the formation, it was standing above the other Houses of High Dukes. With the formation alone, it was enough to protect the House of High Dukes.
Siao Tieying's white robe fluttered in the wind. He turned his head and asked with a smile, "Chu Li, can you cover the entire House of High Dukes under the formation?"
They stood on the shore of the Island of Jade Guardian. They could see the outside clearly. It was no different from before the formation was set up.
Chu Li said, "I can, but I want to wait for a while. Give me some time to deepen my knowledge in the art of formation. I want to set up a strong enough formation."
"One step at a time. Let's set up something like the Island of Jade Guardian first." Siao Tieying could not wait.
With the protection of the formation, the House of High Dukes would not need to have a Grandmaster guarding at all times. The original three Grandmasters could be mobilized. The strength of the House of High Dukes would increase exponentially. They would be able to hold their heads high.
"… That's fine." Chu Li said, "Just set it up on the important island. It would be inconvenient to set it up everywhere."
"Inconvenient is better than dangerous. Set up the formation on every island!" Siao Tieying smiled, "Chu Li, thank you for your hard work!"
Chu Li nodded helplessly. He was thinking about how to do it faster and more secure.
"Master, I want to take a walk outside first. I want to think about it carefully before I start setting up the formation." Chu Li said.
"No problem." Siao Tieying said, "But this must be done as soon as possible."
"Okay." Chu Li nodded.
He wanted to understand the Tai Hua Valley's formation. The three formations stacked together would be even more powerful. If he could understand it, he could copy their formation. It would be enough.

The moon was like an ice wheel, the universe was crystal clear.
The silhouette of the house could be vaguely seen under the moonlight. Chu Li sat cross-legged on the bed. His breathing was faintly discernible. The house was quiet.
He suddenly opened his eyes.
In his mind, he saw Xiao Qi and Su Ru. They were dressed in plain clothes. Their faces were sallow. It was as if a luminous pearl was wrapped in sand.
In addition, the two of them were wearing loose clothes that covered their graceful figures, making them inconspicuous in the crowd.
They quietly left the Stargazing Tower. They did not disturb the maids downstairs. They quietly came to a small boat. The boat swayed gently and floated away from the shore.
Xiao Qi stood at the bow of the boat. Her watery eyes stared in the direction of the Glory's Will Courtyard. She did not move.
Chu Li sighed. He floated to the shore and stood on top of a tree.
The moonlight was like water. It shone on his green robe. Xiao Qi could see it clearly. A smile bloomed on her cold face. She waved her hand.
Chu Li waved back.
Su Ru also saw him. She waved her hand and did not move.
Looking at Xiao Qi and Su Ru who gradually disappeared into the night, Chu Li's heart was empty and uncomfortable. Melancholy kept eroding his soul.
He suddenly had a strong urge to catch up with them. He wanted to leave with them. However, his rationality suppressed this urge. He watched them leave.
The night breeze slowly swept across the lake. It was a little cold when it blew on his face.
Chu Li stood motionless on top of the tree. He swayed with the movement of the tree.
It was not until dawn that the maids on the island started to move. He floated down the tree and returned to the small courtyard.
Xue was already cultivating. When she saw him coming back, she was about to say something. Chu Li waved his hand and went straight into the house.
Xue saw that his expression was not right. She thought hard but could not figure out why he was unhappy.
Chu Li lay on the bed for a while. He quickly controlled his emotions. He regained his rationality and returned to normal.
When they were eating, Chu Li said, "I'll go out tomorrow. Lady Xiao and Chief Su have already left the island. You must keep it a secret."
Xue suddenly understood. She quietly looked at Chu Li's expression.
Chu Li pretended not to know. He wanted to go to the Rising Sun Mountain to see if he could gain anything.
Other people went to the Rising Sun Mountain and found nothing. He might not.
Once the Omniscient Mirror was activated, he could see everything within a five-mile radius. He could even see up and down. The vision of the Omniscient Mirror was like a ball.
