Chu Li had yet to fully understand the effects of the eighth level of Holy Spirit Scripture. When he heard the news, he looked up at the little Vermillion Bird. "What trouble?"
"You got the Nine-Colored Fruit. Everyone is unhappy and wants to settle the score with you," the little Vermillion Bird said.
Chu Li was stunned. "Isn't the Nine-Colored Fruit for me?"
"Not just you," the little Vermillion Bird said.
Chu Li said, "So, I can't take the Nine-Colored Fruit because I'm human?"
"If it was another Spirit Beast, there's nothing else to say. It's all about ability. But you're not a Spirit Beast, so everyone is angry and unwilling to accept that they lost to a human!" The little Vermillion Bird scoffed. "They're all looking for trouble."
Chu Li said, "Then I'll test out the power of the Holy Spirit Scripture."
"No matter how strong you are, how many Spirit Beasts can you fight?" The little Vermillion Bird scoffed. "Don't think that you're invincible just because you've reached the eighth level. It can only hurt Enlightened Masters. It's not very effective against Spirit Beasts."
Chu Li nodded.
He finally understood the unique power of the Holy Spirit Scripture. It could hurt souls.
The little Vermillion Bird said, "If I were you, I'd run!"
"Alright then." Chu Li said, "I'll make a move first."
"Follow me." The little Vermillion Bird turned into a red shadow.
Chu Li followed closely behind.
Once he channeled, he noticed changes in his body. His body was lighter and his inner energy was purer than ever. Endless energy surged out as if he could rush to the next level in one breath.
Other than that, there were no other changes. The Holy Spirit Scripture at the eighth level was plain and did not have any special divine powers. It was just that his inner energy was purer than ever and even involved his spiritual energy.
When he channeled, not only did his inner energy follow, but his spiritual energy too. His essence, energy, and spirit merged into one. It was flawless and naturally exuded an inexplicable charm as if he was one with heaven and earth.
The little Vermillion Bird turned to look at him and nodded in satisfaction.
They immediately rushed out of the Sky Piercing Peak and arrived at the ice pool.
The little Vermillion Bird stopped on a rock and combed its feathers that glowed red. Its voice rang in his mind. "Finally escaped, you have to leave now."
Chu Li nodded.
Little Vermillion Bird said, "Now that your Heavenly Spirit Scripture has reached the eighth layer, you can injure Song Wuji. In the past, you couldn't even hurt Song Wuji."
Chu Li asked, "Song Wuji must be very difficult to kill, right?"
"It's more difficult than you think. If you can't beat him, then escape to the Sky-Piercing Peak!" the little Vermillion Bird said. "No matter how strong Song Wuji is, he wouldn't dare to come to the Sky-Piercing Peak!"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Although the Hundred Thousand Mountains were strong, Song Wuji dared to enter to cultivate the Spirit Devouring Art. The Tongtian Peak was even stronger, and Song Wuji might not have the guts to enter.
The little Vermillion Bird suddenly flapped its wings and a red light shot out from the void and landed in front of Chu Li.
Chu Li reached out and took it. It was a dark red bead the size of a longan. It was faintly discernible, as if it would melt into the void at any time.
The little Vermillion Bird said, "Crush this and you'll be able to sense the Sky-Piercing Peak. I'm leaving."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned into a red light and disappeared into the horizon.
Chu Li retrieved the red orb and placed it together with the Sky Anchor Orb. Then, he sensed the condition of the purple dragon and the Mystic Origin Tortoise. The two Spirit Beasts were still in a deep sleep, but they were already displaying powerful auras.
The purple dragon and the Mystic Origin Tortoise were both slowly transforming into super spirit beasts.
Chu Li sensed that once they woke up, it would be time for them to evolve into super spirit beasts.
Unfortunately, they could not help him now. However, there was no need for them to help either. After all, it was not easy for spirit beasts to attack in the Beyond Heavens Boundary. Back then, the golden dragon on Goddess Attraction Mountain was also restricted by the covenant and could not unleash its power.
He took a deep breath and returned to the Beyond Heavens Boundary from the Divine Gate. Then, he arrived at Taihao Peak.
After suppressing the Heavenly Demonic Blade in a Rotary Tower in advance, he arrived at Taihao Peak.
At Taihao Peak, Lu Yurong had not returned yet while Xiao Qi and Sun Mingyue were in Isolated Cultivation. Chu Li went straight to the peak leader's basilica.
The basilica looked brand new. When Wang Shouren saw him, he waved his hand. "Come here."
Chu Li gave a fist salute and sat in the armchair opposite him. "How have you been, Peak Leader?"
"I've been great. As for you, I heard that the Asura Deity King has been hunting you down." Wang Shouren waved his hand and sized him up. "You're quite impressive to be able to escape from her. Eh, your cultivation level has improved greatly."
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "The Heavenly Spirit Scripture has improved."
"Good! Good! " Wang Shouren exclaimed. "You're able to improve under extreme pressure. You're indeed made for great things. … Have you heard about Song Wuji?"
Chu Li frowned and shook his head. "Did he kill the Asura Deity King or the Asura Deity Lady?"
Wang Shouren waved his hand. "He didn't encounter the Asura Deity King because he's hunting you down. He encountered the Asura Deity Lady and was injured by her. He escaped from the Asura Realm and is in a sorry state."
Chu Li said, "In the Asura Realm, especially in the Deity King's Palace, the Asura Deity Lady is almost invincible."
Wang Shouren sighed. "The Asura Realm is stronger than expected. This time, the mysterious veil has been lifted."
"The Asura Deity Lady was injured too, right?" Chu Li asked.
He had seen the techniques of the Heaven Devouring Sect's sect leader, Liang Leiyin. Song Wuji's techniques should be similar. Although he had a strong defense against thunder and lightning and was not afraid of it, he was afraid of the speed of the person who mastered thunder and lightning.
Wang Shouren said, "I don't think she's unharmed."
Chu Li pondered.
Wang Shouren saw through his thoughts. "Why, are you trying to add insult to injury?"
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "There's still the Asura Deity King."
"Your cultivation level has improved so much that I'm trembling. I feel like I'm facing Song Wuji." Wang Shouren said, "You don't have to be afraid of the Asura Deity King."
Chu Li shook his head.
Although he was strong, he did not know how strong he was because he did not know how strong Sui Miaozhu and Song Wuji were. Back then, he felt that they were unstoppable. Now that he met them again, he might have a better idea.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
He felt Lu Yurong's presence.
Moreover, Lu Yurong's life was in danger. She did not even have time to use the Space Splitting Pearl and was trapped somewhere.
This was because his soul energy was stronger and more sensitive. That was why he could sense it. Moreover, this sense of danger was blocked by an invisible force that he was familiar with. It was the Asura Deity Lady!
"Peak Leader, I have to leave first!" Chu Li said, "Lu Yurong is in danger."
Wang Shouren immediately knew it was Lu Yurong. He frowned. "Her life is in danger?"
Chu Li nodded slowly. "She must have met the Asura Deity Lady!"
"That's bad!" Wang Shouren's expression was solemn. "I'll go with her."
Chu Li said, "Peak Leader, you can't act so easily. Moreover, the Asura Realm is too dangerous and unpredictable. I'll go scout first."
He could not wait for Wang Shouren to act. He was more confident that he could save Lu Yurong.
However, Wang Shouren's position determined that he could not leave the peak easily. If something happened to her, he would be in deep trouble. The entire Taihao Peak would blame him.
The previous incident was a lesson. Although he returned because of the Taihao Peak disciple and earned the respect of the Taihao Peak disciples, if he did not appear, all the Taihao Peak disciples would see him as their enemy.
"It's fine." Wang Shouren shook his head.
Lu Yurong was also a genius among the disciples. If something happened to her, he would be heartbroken. Moreover, she was Chu Li's confidante.
The current Chu Li was not the Chu Li from before. His cultivation level was comparable to Song Wuji.
"Alright!" Chu Li fist saluted. "It's impolite not to reciprocate. Since the Asura Deity King came to our Taihao Peak, we can't show any weakness. We have to try the Asura Realm!"
