"Greetings, Peak Leader!" Chu Li closed fist saluted Wang Shouren who was sitting in the armchair.
Wang Shouren put down the scroll in his hand, stroked his beard and smiled, "Your cultivation has improved greatly, congratulations."
Chu Li smiled, "Peak Leader, can Song Wuji summon a Deva?"
Wang Shouren stopped stroking his beard and looked at him in shock.
Chu Li said, "He should be able to summon a Deva? That's why he's invincible? "
"Song Wuji can be invincible because of his high cultivation level and no one can control him. However, he can summon a Deva too. This is the uniqueness of the Thunder Pool." Wang Shouren shook his head and sighed, "Your cultivation level is not as high as Song Wuji's. With Song Wuji's trump card, you won't stand a chance."
Chu Li said, "There must be a limit to summoning a Deva."
"Hmm, that's true," Wang Shouren said, "We won't summon a Deva unless it's absolutely necessary."
Chu Li said, "It's not that we're afraid of it, but there's a price to pay, right? I think there must be a huge price to summon a Deva. It's not just a matter of embarrassment or shame. "
Wang Shouren stroked his beard and pondered.
Chu Li suddenly realized and chuckled, "Looks like we can summon a Deva at Taihao Peak too!"
"This is a last resort," Wang Shouren shook his head, "We won't use it unless it's absolutely necessary."
Chu Li asked, "What's the price?"
Wang Shouren sighed, "It's easy to summon a Deva but hard to send him away. It's easy to summon a Deva but it's not easy to return to the Upper Heaven. There's a huge price to pay and you'll need to burn your lifespan, at least a thousand years!"
"A thousand years of lifespan??" Chu Li nodded slowly, "Looks like it can only be used once."
He thought of Song Wuji's Art of Ageless Longevity.
With the Art of Ageless Longevity, Song Wuji was blessed by nature and could use the Deva's Descent without limit.
"How long is the lifespan of an Asura?" Chu Li asked.
Wang Shouren shook his head, "No one knows. If there's no accident, I'm afraid it's no less than a thousand years. … Did you encounter someone who used the Deva's Descent?"
Chu Li said, "The Asura Goddess, Li Yuehua."
"You were able to force Li Yuehua to use Deva Descent. That's rare." Wang Shouren stroked his beard and smiled.
"Song Wuji has an Ageless Longevity Technique that can absorb lifespan." Chu Li pondered. "Does Taihao Peak not have it?"
"Yes." Wang Shouren pondered for a moment and nodded slowly. "However, lifespan is divided into innate and acquired ones. The lifespan taken is only acquired, and the Heavenly Beings need not only acquired lifespan to return to the Upper Heaven, but also innate lifespan."
"How much Innate Lifespan?" Chu Li quickly asked.
"At least a hundred years." Wang Shouren said, "That's why, unless it's absolutely necessary, we won't invite the celestials to descend. You've forced this goddess into a corner. It's really rare."
Chu Li sighed. "I almost died."
"To be able to survive the descent of a Celestial is already extraordinary." Wang Shouren smiled and said, "There must be some luck. You might not be so lucky next time. It's best not to provoke them."
Chu Li nodded slowly. "How long can the descent of the Celestial Being last?"
"Half an hour at most." Wang Shouren sighed. "Any longer and I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it."
"It can't be performed in the foreign battlefields, right?" Chu Li asked again.
Wang Shouren said, "The void of the foreign battlefields is different from other places. Celestials can't descend, but it's fine to enter the foreign battlefields after descending. So, don't think that you won't be afraid in the foreign battlefields."
Chu Li asked, "Half an hour??"
"It might be even shorter, it depends on the person's cultivation level." Wang Shouren said, "Every time they descend, it'll cause great damage to the body. They'll need to recuperate for a while, so they can't perform it continuously."
Chu Li's spirit was lifted and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"But with spirit medicine and secret skills, it might not take too long," Wang Shouren said.
Chu Li's gaze returned to normal and he shook his head.
As a goddess, she must have a way to recuperate. Moreover, she could borrow the power of the Asura Deity King Statue. He had seen the speed of recovery in the Deity King Palace. It was amazing that she could grow an arm in such a short time.
"Peak Leader, if we can kill the goddess, what are the consequences?" Chu Li pondered.
If they could lure the goddess, Li Yuehua, to the foreign battlefields and wait for the celestials to finish descending, then they could take the opportunity to assassinate her. They might have a chance to kill the goddess.
"If we kill one, there'll be a second one." Wang Shouren shook his head. "Moreover, the goddess won't be too far away from the City of Divine Kings. There's no need to waste your efforts. Besides, the goddess is very difficult to kill."
Chu Li slowly nodded. "How many cities does Asura have?"
"I don't know." Wang Shouren shook his head and sighed. "We haven't found out yet. Humans can't enter the City of Divine Kings. Back then, there was a person who became the Asura Deity King. Unfortunately, the Asura Deity King ascended immediately after stepping into the Asura Boundary, so he couldn't send back any news."
Chu Li frowned. "Ascended immediately?"
"Yes." Wang Shouren sighed. "He was also a genius. To be able to cultivate the Asura Power Technique to perfection, I don't know how much suffering he endured and how many fortuitous encounters he had. Unfortunately, he ascended immediately after stepping into the Asura Boundary, so he couldn't lead Asura. Otherwise, the situation wouldn't be like this."
Chu Li nodded thoughtfully.
He secretly shook his head.
Once a Celestial successfully cultivated the Asura Power Technique, they would ascend as soon as they stepped into the Asura Realm. This was a very powerful move, and it directly eliminated all other possibilities. This was to make Celestials and Asuras enemies for all eternity, with no way to reconcile.
He suddenly felt a little dispirited. He had wasted his efforts. It was impossible for him to cultivate the Asura Power Technique to perfection and lead Asura to no longer be enemies with Celestials. Celestials and Asura would always be enemies.
If he really cultivated the Asura Power Technique to perfection, he would not dare to step into the Asura Boundary again. If he ascended directly, he might become an Asura after ascending. That would be a great punishment, so he would rather not ascend.
The senior who cultivated the Asura Power Technique to perfection must have had the same thoughts as him. He only realized later that he had been tricked.
Chu Li asked, "Peak Leader, do you have any records of that senior?"
"Yes." Wang Shouren slowly said, "Senior Wu Zheng was an outstanding person of his generation. He was extremely talented and had countless fortuitous encounters. In the end, he perfected the Asura Power Technique and ascended directly to the First Heaven. However, Senior Wu was a loner and rarely interacted with others. Very few people know of his whereabouts."
Chu Li said, "If that's the case, no one knows what martial arts he cultivated and what fortuitous encounters he had?"
"Only bits and pieces." Wang Shouren shook his head. "It's hard to gain anything."
Chu Li frowned.
Wang Shouren stood up and walked to the bookshelf in the corner. He took out a thin book and passed it to Chu Li. "This is Wu Zheng's life story. It's the most detailed record. Other people might not have such a record."
Chu Li looked at him doubtfully.
Wang Shouren said, "He was a disciple of Taihao Peak."
Chu Li looked at him in surprise.
Wang Shouren shook his head and sighed. "Unfortunately, although he was a disciple of Taihao Peak, due to his personality, he did not interact much with his fellow disciples. It was a great pity."
Chu Li nodded.
He never thought that Senior Wu Zheng was a disciple of Taihao Peak. He thought he was a disciple of some unknown small faction.
