"Let's go," Sun Mingyue said.
"Yes," the two young women in white answered crisply and turned to leave. Chu Li and Sun Mingyue followed behind them out of Tai Hao Peak.
As soon as they left Tai Hao Peak, the two women in white immediately hid in the void. Chu Li and Sun Mingyue followed suit and appeared in Great Light Surpassing State.
Great Light Surpassing State was filled with mountains and ancient trees. It was lush and full of spiritual energy. It was much better than the Ninth Level of the Outland. Cultivating there was much better than cultivating there.
As soon as they appeared, dozens of women in white rushed out. They were all disciples of Great Light Surpassing State. They came to welcome Sun Mingyue to her own peak.
When Sun Mingyue returned to her own peak and sat in her courtyard, only nine women in white came in. There were three young women, three middle-aged women, and three elderly women.
Even the elderly women had no wrinkles on their faces. Their skin was like jade, but their white hair made their faces look rosy and attractive like a baby.
"Saint, the realm master is about to go into isolated cultivation," an elderly woman said. "Saint needs to bathe and fast. The succession ceremony will be held in nine days."
"Mm." Sun Mingyue nodded. "Is there any problem with the realm master?"
"The realm master is a little anxious, but he can't be lacking in the necessary rituals or the position of realm master will be vacant." The elderly woman shook her head. "If it's not perfect, it'll be a source of gossip."
"What's there to gossip about?" Sun Mingyue scoffed. "What gossip does a realm master have? Are there people who want to be the realm master?"
"Of course!" The elderly woman nodded. "The realm master's position is high and powerful. How can no one covet it? It's just that the Saint is talented and beautiful, so no one dares to mess around."
Sun Mingyue said, "Alright, we'll fast for nine days."
The elderly woman smiled. "During the fast, the Light Sarira will be used as a tool to cleanse the body of light. It'll make it easier for the Saint to cultivate the Great Light Scripture."
"The Light Sarira is not bad." Sun Mingyue turned to look at Chu Li.
Chu Li said, "I heard it's left behind after ascension. What's so special about it?"
"The Light Sarira is a treasure that only the realm master can possess. It contains the essence of the Great Light Scripture and the essence of ascension. It's a supreme treasure," the elderly woman said.
"This is the inheritance elder of the realm, Elder Zhou Yi." Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li gave a fist salute. "Elder Zhou."
Zhou Yi smiled. "Mister Chu is not an outsider. You shouldn't be so picky."
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "You're welcome. Did the Light Sarira leak out?"
Zhou Yi's face darkened.
Chu Li asked, "Was there really a leak? Who is so powerful to be able to snatch the treasure of Great Radiance Surpassing Domain? "
"Heavenly Demon!" Zhou Yi said coldly, "The enemies of our Great Radiance Domain are the Heavenly Demons. The Heaven Devouring Sect in the Heavenly Demon Domain is the most evil of all evil. They deserve to die ten thousand times for their crimes!"
Chu Li frowned. "The Light Sarira was snatched by the Heaven Devouring Sect before?"
"That's right." Zhou Yi scoffed. "That damned Heaven Devouring Sect!"
"Could it be that they rushed into the Great Light Surpassing Domain, stole the items, and escaped?" Chu Li asked, "Aren't Heavenly Demons unable to enter the Great Light Surpassing Realm? Once they get close, they'll be killed by the Realm Protection Formation and have nowhere to hide?"
Zhou Yi said coldly, "It's impossible to guard against Extraterrestrial Demons. A world-shaking character from the Heaven Devouring Sect forced his way into their territory and took away a Light Sarira."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
He could finally determine that the aura within the Heavenly Demonic Blade was the aura of the Light Sarira. The light was vast and boundless. It was not a merciful intent but the ability to reform.
It was constantly polishing the demonic nature within the blade, which benefited him greatly. It turned out that it was indeed a Light Sarira. He really had to thank He Yushan's Light Sarira.
Sun Mingyue waved her hand. "Don't mention it. Forget it, it's embarrassing to mention it. But who is this powerful character?"
"He Yushan!" Zhou Yi scoffed. "He's a top-notch master who recently rose to fame. My Saint, you must be careful. You'll have to work hard to cultivate after you become the Realm Master. Otherwise, he'll come in and snatch the Light Sarira again!"
"He Yushan …" Sun Mingyue nodded. "Alright, leave it to me."
Chu Li said, "I'll go back first. I'll come back in nine days to attend the ceremony."
"That's great!" Zhou Yi smiled. "Mister Chu, you're welcome to attend the ceremony!"
She secretly sighed in relief.
Fasting and bathing were meant to purify one's heart and reduce one's desires. If Chu Li did not leave, the Saint would not be able to purify her heart and reduce her desires. Fortunately, Chu Li was a tactful person and took the initiative to leave.
Chu Li gave a fist salute and smiled. "I'll be leaving then."
Sun Mingyue said, "There's no rush. You can leave tomorrow. You'll start fasting tomorrow!"
"Yes." Zhou Yi smiled and nodded. She bowed and glided away with the other eight ladies.
They left Sun Mingyue's courtyard. After they left the peak where she was, a young lady said softly, "Elder Zhou, outsiders are not allowed to be present during the realm master handover."
"Mister Chu is not an outsider," Zhou Yi said.
"But …" The young lady said softly, "He's not a disciple of the realm after all."
"He's the Saint's man. How can he be an outsider?" Zhou Yi said impatiently. "Little girl, what nonsense are you thinking!"
"I just feel that we shouldn't break the rules. After all, he's not the Saint's husband. He's just a friend. He can't really be considered one of us," the young lady said softly. The young woman said in a light voice, "Moreover, I heard that not only does he have a Saintess, he has two more, and both of them have entered Great Sky Peak!"
She had a look of indignation.
In her eyes, the Saint was already a perfect woman. She was peerlessly beautiful and had peerless martial arts skills. Almost no man was worthy of her. However, she had found a man and other women. It was an insult to the Saint!
Zhou Yi glared at her. "Don't mess around. Mister Chu's cultivation level is rare. He's worthy of the Saint!"
"After the Saint becomes the realm master, will he still be worthy of her?" The young lady pouted.
"It's all up to the Saint. Outsiders don't have to worry!" Zhou Yi said. "Don't act on your own and offend the Saint!"
"… Yes." The young lady could only give up on the idea of causing trouble.

Chu Li initially wanted to go to the Asura Realm to see Lu Yurong, but he suddenly sensed something. The next moment, he appeared at Taihao Peak and saw Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi was standing at the peak of Taihao Peak. She was calmly looking into the distance with a calm expression. There was a calm aura around her as if time had stopped.
Chu Li suddenly appeared beside Xiao Qi and pulled her into his arms.
Xiao Qi snuggled into his arms and did not say a word.
After a while, Chu Li asked, "I heard that you had a fortuitous encounter?"
"Yes," Xiao Qi replied. "I obtained the inheritance of the Regal Sword Scripture from the Sutra Library."
Chu Li was surprised.
Xiao Qi snuggled into his chest. "I didn't expect to find the inheritance of the Regal Sword Scripture in a secret manual. I obtained the complete inheritance, and with the help of the Heaven's Book of Indifference, I cultivated it to perfect mastery."
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "Your hard work didn't go to waste."
Back then, when they cultivated the Regal Sword Scripture, they had suffered too much. When they entered the Grandmaster's Boundary, they felt that it was not worth it. Now that they had obtained the inheritance of the Regal Sword Scripture, they were well-prepared.
Xiao Qi nodded. "I'm leaving."
Chu Li asked, "You're going to ascend soon?"
"Yes," Xiao Qi answered. "I can't suppress it anymore, so I'm going to ascend soon."
