"Is it really that scary?" Fu Caiwei asked.
Chu Li nodded slowly. "It's more terrifying than I imagined, but he's in a strange state. It seems like he's in isolated cultivation, so we were able to escape safely. If he's awake, we'll be in danger."
"Are we going to give up just like that?" Fu Caiwei asked.
Chu Li said, "Let's leave this place first before he catches up to us."
As he spoke, he took out the scroll and the iron plate from his bosom. Looking at them under the bright sunlight, the iron plate was dull and as black as ink, while the scroll was suffused with a layer of strange luster. The material of the scroll was not ordinary.
Fu Caiwei asked, "Then can Peak Master handle it?"
Since they were both God Souls, the Peak Master should be able to use the God Descent Technique, so he should be able to deal with it.
Chu Li said, "Are you telling us to let the Peak Leader waste a hundred years of his life just to satisfy our curiosity?"
"… I think Peak Master is willing to give it a try," Fu Caiwei said.
The Peak Lord would never let go of such a strange situation. Even if it cost him a hundred years of his lifespan, he would still have to find out a thing or two. Furthermore, the Peak Lord did not value his lifespan at all, which was different from him.
Chu Li waved his hand. "Let's not trouble the Peak Leader for now. It won't be too late for us to investigate in the future."
"Alright." Fu Caiwei didn't insist.
Bang! Suddenly, a blue light flashed in Chu Li's eyes, followed by a muffled sound that sounded like thunder exploding in his ears.
Fu Caiwei's vision went blank for a moment before she regained her senses. She saw that Chu Li's blue eyes were flickering non-stop. His body was motionless, but his white robe was fluttering even though there was no wind. His face was solemn.
Fu Caiwei immediately understood that he had encountered an invisible enemy, which was most likely the Enlightened Master's soul. She took out a jade tag from her inner pocket and tossed it to Chu Li. "This is the Soul Protection Jade!"
"Bang!" The jade tablet exploded into a cloud of white dust in the air.
"Senior Sister Fu, you should go back first!" Chu Li shouted. He shook the iron tag and the scroll in his hand and his body became illusory.
"Chi Chi Chi Chi!" An invisible force whistled through the air.
His figure swayed, and in the end, it turned into fragments, but he had already disappeared.
"Bang!" Fu Caiwei's vision suddenly turned black, and she directly fell into darkness.
When she woke up, she discovered that she was lying on her own bed. The faint fragrance around her was her body fragrance. It was incomparably familiar. The bright moonlight shone on the paper window, illuminating the room.
Chu Li was sitting on the low couch opposite the bed. He sat in a lotus position with a solemn expression, as if he was meditating.
As soon as she moved, Chu Li opened his eyes. His eyes lit up the entire house.
"Is Senior Sister Fu feeling better?" Chu Li asked.
Fu Caiwei said, "I was attacked by him, right?"
"Mm," Chu Li said, "Fortunately, Senior Sister Fu has the Soul Defense Jade and my protective talisman."
Only the Soul Protector Jade was unable to block that spiritual attack, and his protective talisman was able to block it. Even so, she instantly fainted, unable to resist at all. This was the power of that soul.
"How did you defeat him?" Fu Caiwei looked at him curiously.
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "I didn't defeat him, I just escaped."
"Did he let you escape?" Fu Caiwei scoffed.
The soul would not be able to catch up to them unless they abandoned the iron plate and the scroll. Otherwise, the soul would definitely be able to find them. At this time, they were safe and sound, so they must have defeated the soul.
Chu Li said, "I had a flash of inspiration, so I used the Heavenly Spirit Scripture."
Back then, he fought an extremely intense battle with the soul. He used all his strength in every attack. If it was not for the Buddhas and Heavenly Demons in the void of his mind, he would not have been able to withstand the soul's attack. With their protection in his mind, in addition to the flash of inspiration, he used the Heavenly Spirit Scripture and injured the soul, temporarily forcing it to retreat.
That alone was not enough to make the soul afraid. What it really feared was the existence of the Nine Cauldrons Heaven Suppression.
He retreated as he fought, and unknowingly entered the range of the Nine Cauldrons Heaven Suppression formed by the Chakram Pagoda. He immediately sensed a strange force, and when he controlled this force, he was able to suppress the soul.
Unfortunately, the soul was strong enough to escape at the crucial moment. Once they were out of the range of the Nine Cauldrons Heaven Suppression, Chu Li could not do anything to it. Moreover, Fu Caiwei was already unconscious, so he dared not be careless and brought her back to Taihao Peak.
As for tracking down the soul, suppressing it, and then asking for details to understand its mysteries, it could only be a thought. Looking at the soul's ruthless and decisive methods, it was probably impossible.
Fu Caiwei sighed. "I'm the one who dragged you into this."
She could not withstand a single blow, so she could not help at all.
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Sister Fu, don't say such things. If you didn't lead the way, how would I have found the iron plate and the travelogue? This is already a great discovery! "
"What's the use of it?" Fu Caiwei scoffed.
As for what the iron plate was used for, it was impossible to guess blindly. As for the travel notes, although they looked mysterious at first glance, they didn't have much use after thinking about it carefully. It might be useful for those who were about to ascend, but for them, it was far away and not helpful in improving their strength.
Chu Li said, "I think there's something strange about the iron plate. If we study it carefully, we might be able to find something."
"Since there's nowhere to start, let's not waste time on it. If we have the time, we might as well cultivate the Spirit Cultivation Technique." Fu Caiwei disagreed.
Chu Li smiled. "My instincts have always been accurate. If I can find some clues, then it's highly possible."
"Then I'll wait for your good news." Fu Caiwei rolled her eyes. "Could it really help with ascension?"
Chu Li said, "Senior Sister Fu, you should study the travelogue. It might contain some secrets. Understanding the upper heaven will help you understand the martial arts of the upper heaven!"
"… That's true." Fu Caiwei was startled and slowly nodded.
She realized that Chu Li was right. The more one understood the upper heaven, the deeper one's understanding of the upper heaven's martial arts. This was inevitable.
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Sister Fu, you study the travelogue and I'll study the iron plate."
"Suit yourself." Fu Caiwei said, "I heard that Junior Sister Sun is in trouble again."
Chu Li's expression changed.
Fu Caiwei smiled. "Don't worry, it's not a big deal."
Chu Li listened attentively.
Fu Caiwei said, "It's a grudge between Great Light Surpassing Realm and two sects."
Chu Li continued to stare at her.
Fu Caiwei said helplessly, "A disciple from Gale Palace and Lack Palace fell in love with a Great Light Surpassing Realm disciple at the same time and personally asked Great Light Surpassing Realm for help."
Chu Li said, "Then let the Great Light Surpassing Realm disciple choose."
"But that disciple doesn't like either," Fu Caiwei said, "so he offended both Gale Palace and Lack Palace."
Chu Li scoffed. "So be it."
Fu Caiwei shook her head. "Although Great Light Surpassing Realm has always been aloof, its status can't exceed that of the nine divisions. In the end, Gale Palace and Lack Palace joined forces to pressure Great Light Surpassing Realm to hand over that disciple."
Chu Li laughed. "How interesting."
Fu Caiwei said seriously, "Their decision is for two disciples to compete in martial arts and the winner will get the Great Light Surpassing Realm disciple."
Chu Li's face darkened and he sneered. "Are they going to force the marriage?"
"Yes." Fu Caiwei nodded.
Chu Li tilted his head and looked at her.
