Chu Li let out a long sigh of relief.
Although he felt that these traps were not that big of a deal and might not hurt him, he did not dare to take the risk because the person who set them up was not to be underestimated.
"Is it safe?" Fu Caiwei asked.
Chu Li said, "You can see what's in the bookshelf."
The book on the bookshelf was actually so precious and secretively hidden in the wooden cupboard. It must be something important.
It was most likely a martial arts secret manual.
Chu Li frowned and shook his head in disappointment.
The Omniscient Mirror had already seen that the book was not a martial arts secret manual, but a travel note.
Fu Caiwei walked forward, confident that she was not afraid of poison because she had the treasured gloves. She picked up the book and flipped through it, shaking her head in disappointment as she passed it to Chu Li.
Chu Li took it and flipped through it, his face solemn.
"Why, is there a problem?" Fu Caiwei asked.
Chu Li said, "This is serious."
Fu Caiwei tilted her head and looked at him, then at the book, she scoffed, "What's the big deal? Don't be so mysterious! "
Chu Li said, "What's written here isn't about this world. The so-called travelogue isn't about this world."
"How do you know?" Fu Caiwei scoffed and thought about it, but still shook her head. She did not feel anything wrong, nor could she find any evidence that it was not about this world.
Chu Li said, "I only know that this is Juyi Peak, it's a peak on the upper level."
Fu Caiwei stared at him with her big bright eyes without blinking.
Chu Li smiled, "I've seen a martial arts study, it's the martial arts study of Juyi Peak, an antique study of the upper level, that's why I know this place."
"What martial arts?" Fu Caiwei asked.
Chu Li said, "Feather Flight Technique, you haven't seen it before."
"I haven't heard of it either," Fu Caiwei said.
Chu Li said, "It's a superior martial arts study, a martial arts study of the upper level."
Fu Caiwei picked up the book again and flipped through it, finally finding the words' Juyi Peak ', she pondered, "Could it be that he wrote this on purpose?"
Chu Li said, "Then do you feel any familiarity with what's written here? Which part of it do you know?"
"… No." Fu Caiwei shook her head and said, "However, the world is so big. How can I see everything? It's impossible to go everywhere. It's possible that there are places I haven't been to."
Chu Li said, "These places are all very prosperous. Look at what's written here. There are only a few places in the Outland that are so prosperous and popular. Do any of them match?"
Fu Caiwei wavered slightly.
Could it really be a travelogue from the Upper Heaven? If so, it would explain why they hid it here.
Moreover, she trusted Chu Li very much and trusted his judgment. Since he was so certain, she could not help but hesitate.
Chu Li sighed. "It seems like the owner of this cave has a powerful background. No wonder he destroyed all the books."
"Do you think he's from the First Heaven?" Fu Caiwei said, "I haven't heard of anyone who can come down from the Upper Heaven. They can only come down through the Primordial Spirit, using the Deity Descending Technique. They can't come for more than two hours."
Chu Li said, "This might be an exception. There are always exceptions to everything."
"Then, did he come down from the Upper Heaven, or did his Primordial Spirit come from the Upper Heaven?" Fu Caiwei looked interested. "How did he avoid the Heavenly Punishment?"
It was said that if the Primordial Spirit of the Upper Heaven exceeded two hours, the Heavenly Punishment would descend. There was no way to avoid it and one's soul would be destroyed. It was impossible for the body of the Upper Heaven to come down. There were no exceptions.
Chu Li said, "The secret behind this is incredible."
"Unfortunately, he's already dead. There's nothing we can do." Fu Caiwei shook her head and sighed. "What a pity. If you encountered this back then, you'd definitely be able to pry into the secret."
Chu Li smiled. "This is our own fate and fate. It can't be forced. I'm already lucky to be able to come here now thanks to Senior Sister Fu."
Fu Caiwei rolled her eyes at him and scoffed. "Tell me, how do we do it?"
Chu Li said, "Whether it's the Primordial Spirit or the body, it's very likely that he's from the Upper Heaven."
"Yes." Fu Caiwei nodded.
She did not believe it at first, but after Chu Li's encouragement, she became convinced. She really felt that the dead person was a person from the Upper Heaven and could be considered an Enlightened Master.
Chu Li said, "Then why was he able to avoid the Heavenly Punishment and hide here?"
"What does that have to do with anything?" Fu Caiwei frowned. "You're thinking about his antique study, right? Not why he's able to hide here."
Chu Li waved his hand. "Senior Sister Fu, you're wrong. There might be a great secret here. If you can understand it, you'll have a better understanding of the mysteries of Heaven and Earth. You'll be one step closer to ascension. Senior Sister Fu, your goal now should change."
"How?" Fu Caiwei was stunned by his words.
Chu Li said, "Your goal shouldn't be Song Wuji, but ascension. It looks like Song Wuji is going to ascend soon. If you're one step ahead of him, you'll have the upper hand when you reach the Upper Heaven. You'll have a chance to kill him."
"… Hmm, that makes sense." Fu Caiwei thought about it and slowly nodded. "However, ascension is something that can only be encountered by chance. Although Junior Sister Xiao seems to be able to ascend easily, there are only a few Taihao Peak disciples who managed to ascend."
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Sister Fu, can't you become one of those few?"
"You …" Fu Caiwei poked him with her finger and scoffed. "Then hurry up and tell me, what should we do?"
Chu Li shook his head. "There's nothing we can do now. Let's continue reading."
He carefully kept the scroll and gently pressed it against the wall.
"Boom!" With a dull sound, another cave appeared.
Fu Caiwei glanced at the cave and said in surprise, "This is the place where we entered before. It's where that person's skeleton is."
She pointed at the jade bed in the middle of the cave.
A skeleton sat on the bed made of white jade. The skeleton was crystal clear like white jade, and it was indistinguishable from the jade bed. When it moved, it seemed to be glowing.
Chu Li took a step back and felt an inexplicable pressure.
Fu Caiwei looked at him curiously.
She did not feel anything. It was just a skeleton. Even if this person was ruthless and set up an opportunity, there would be no danger as long as they did not get close. Only when they got close would they trigger the mechanism. However, Chu Li was unusually wary.
Chu Li pulled Fu Caiwei and dashed out of the cave.
He pulled Fu Caiwei's sleeves out of the cave and they appeared at the foot of the mountain in one breath. It was the place where they stopped to look.
Fu Caiwei was stunned by his words and looked at him in confusion.
Chu Li took a deep breath. "It's too dangerous there. It's better not to touch it."
"What's going on?" Fu Caiwei frowned. She felt like a fool and stared at Chu Li in dissatisfaction.
Chu Li said, "There's something strange about the skeleton."
"It's just a skeleton. There might be a mechanism or something strange. Could it be poisonous?" Fu Caiwei said. "Even if it's poisonous, it shouldn't be that scary, right?"
Chu Li sighed. "It's much scarier than poison!"
Fu Caiwei stared at him with her clear eyes, waiting for him to continue.
Chu Li said, "His soul hasn't dispersed. It's still on the skeleton."
"So what?" Fu Caiwei scoffed. "It's just an ownerless soul."
