Chu Li appeared at the peak of a tall mountain. Recalling what happened earlier, he sighed and shook his head.
He did not hesitate to kill Zhao Haiyuan. First, Zhao Haiyuan killed him, Xiao Qi, and Sun Mingyue. Second, he did not know much about the Heaven Shaking Pavilion and did not know how strong it was.
This time, when he ran into Nangong Jing and Jin Shirong, he didn't try to kill them. He just robbed them and humiliated them, all in order to infuriate them and force them to attack him. At most, he would drag their friends into it.
This way, he could buy time to master the Nine Swords into One. He would be confident enough to fight against the Heaven Shaking Pavilion.
Now that he had not mastered the Nine Swords into One, he was not confident enough. This was not a matter of courage, but reality. The strong were strong, and the weak were weak. In such a situation, he could not fight on impulse. If he blindly used force, he would only disappear.
Even if he had the Life and Death Scripture, he could not court death.
He stretched out his hand and took out the jade pendant. It was dull and lifeless like a stone.
This was the real inheritance of the Flying Star Sect. Unfortunately, those without star power could not obtain it. He had already glimpsed a little bit of it, but because his cultivation was still weak, he could not obtain all of it. He had only obtained the mental cultivation method of the next level.
Through this Inheritance Jade, he was confident in the Flying Star Sect and decided to cultivate the Flying Star Technique.
This kind of inheritance was not something that sects in the Grandmaster Realm could do. Since it was passed down level by level, Chu Li guessed that it was a technique from the Upper Heaven or even the Upper Heaven. The Flying Star Technique was an antique study from the Upper Heaven.
He suddenly frowned and disappeared in a flash.
Just as he disappeared, six old men slowly appeared, turning their heads to look at their surroundings.
One of the elders in green scoffed. "Nothing?"
"This young man is smart." Another elder scoffed. "He must have heard the news and fled!"
"I don't believe he can escape from us!" The first elder scoffed. "Unless he throws away all his treasures. Otherwise, hmph!"
"How can he throw away those treasures?"
"Then he can only wait for death!"
"Hurry up and chase after him. Don't be so arrogant. We'll lose him!"
"How is that possible? Even if he has the Stone of Invisibility, he can't block our detection of the jade pendant!"
"That might not be the case!"
"Old Hu, you really like to belittle your own power and boost the morale of others. He is just a junior, and he is also from an unorthodox background. No matter how capable he is, how can he escape from the palm of our Heaven Shaking Tower?"
"This guy is not an ordinary person. We can't be careless."
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you. Otherwise, you'll be complacent if an accident happens!"
They all smiled and shook their heads, their expressions relaxed.
They knew that Chu Li was extremely powerful, but they did not really take it to heart. No matter how powerful his martial arts was, he would not be able to withstand a single blow from the Heaven Shaking Tower's treasures. Furthermore, no matter how big the world was, there was no place for Chu Li to hide unless he ran to Taihao Peak.
However, the Great Heaven Peak was not a place that one could casually enter, even if his woman was a disciple of the Great Heaven Peak.
"Huh?" The old man who spoke first frowned.
"What happened?"
"This kid really disappeared!"
"Hmm —?" An elder tried to sense it in disbelief. He shook his head and sighed. "It's really strange! This kid is a little interesting! "
The remaining four elders tried to sense it, but they could not find Chu Li.
At this time, Chu Li had already entered the Wheel Pagoda. The Earth Demonic Stone had merged with the Wheel Pagoda, completely concealing his aura and isolating him from any senses.
"I don't believe it!" The four elders stopped being relaxed and became serious. They sat down with their legs crossed and began to condense their energies while trying to deduce Chu Li's whereabouts. Unfortunately, they could not find Chu Li.
"Senior Brother Zhou, if we go back with our tails between our legs, we'll be too ashamed to face anyone." One of the elders shook his head and sighed. "What will the tower think? What will Nangong Jing and Jin Shirong think of us? What will those young fellows think of us? "
"What should we do?" The elder who spoke first scoffed. "Why don't we return to the tower and use the Cosmos Jade to look for him?"
"Isn't that a little overkill?" Another elder shook his head. "He only stole something and didn't kill anyone. It's not worth it, right? The value of a piece of Cosmos Jade isn't something a junior can match. "
"… This junior is different." Someone shook his head.
"… Then we'll go back and use the Cosmos Jade!" The elder who spoke first said in a low voice.
The others stopped arguing and disappeared.
—
Chu Li left all the treasures in the Rotary Pagoda. He knew that the Heaven Shaking Tower would be able to sense these treasures. Even the Earth Demonic Stone would not be able to block the Heaven Shaking Tower's senses.
However, it was not safe to hide the treasures in the Rotary Pagoda. Back then, Fu Caiwei used the Cosmos Jade to find him in the Rotary Pagoda. The Heaven Shaking Tower might be able to do the same.
He shook his head. The Heaven Shaking Tower was really troublesome.
He thought about it and began to build the pagoda again. An hour later, three more Rotary Pagodas were built, forming a nine-tower layout.
When the ninth stone tower was erected, dark clouds gathered in the sky. Thunder could be seen but it did not strike.
Chu Li looked up at the sky and felt a strong pressure coming from the sky. He did not expect to do anything in the end. The dark clouds slowly dispersed and the sky was clear again.
Chu Li could feel a strange aura condensing. The nine towers seemed to form a world of its own that was completely isolated from the outside world.
The nine towers combined to form a huge formation of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons.
Chu Li heaved a sigh of relief and smiled as he stood in the area of the nine towers.
He had been worried about this before, so he had been preparing the stones. After carving the stones, he only needed to pile them up accurately. That was why the three towers were built very quickly and were completed in less than an hour.
On a towering peak in mid-air, in a basilica, the six elders who had been tracking Chu Li earlier were sitting cross-legged on cattail hassocks. They formed a circle with a small gray stone in the middle. It looked like they had picked it up from the river. It was the Cosmos Jade that Fu Caiwei had used earlier.
They looked serious. After looking at each other, they slowly reached out their right palms. Their six palms stopped above the Cosmos Jade and slowly condensed. Six strange forces fell into the Cosmos Jade.
The Cosmos Jade suddenly lit up and turned into six rays of light that fell on their foreheads.
The six of them looked serious as white steam rose from their heads.
After a while, the white steam slowly dissipated. They opened their eyes with gloomy expressions.
"I didn't find it!"
"I didn't find it!"
…
The six of them looked at each other and their expressions became more and more gloomy.
With the help of the Cosmos Jade, there was almost nothing they could not see, nothing unexpected, and they were invincible. This time, they were defeated by a young man who came from an unorthodox background. They were really unwilling to accept it.
"What happened?"
"Is he dead?"
"It's highly possible!"
They did not believe that Chu Li could hide and could not find him even after using the Cosmos Jade. They would rather believe that Chu Li was dead, so they did not notice anything.
"Sigh … Forget it, let's wait and see."
"He should be hiding in an extremely secret place, but it's impossible for him to hide forever!"
