It was not that Lie Que Hall and Gale Hall did not know how powerful Chu Li was, but they did not expect him to be this powerful. After all, he was forced to flee by Song Wuji. Although he managed to keep his life, who knew if Song Wuji was being merciful and purposely left him as an opponent to motivate himself?
The current Chu Li could not be mentioned in the same breath as the Chu Li of the past. He was several times more powerful now. Just the sound of his inner energy alone was enough to make all the disciples of Windstorm Temple faint. It directly destroyed the morale of Windstorm Temple and the will of Lique Temple to resist.
Since he was so powerful, going against him would be asking for trouble. It was foolish. Admitting defeat was the only way to save themselves. Otherwise, Gale Hall and Lie Que Hall would have been destroyed by Chu Li already.
Chu Li nodded. "If Heaven Shaking Tower has such a master, why is it still the second sect?"
Among the nine divisions, Heaven Shaking Tower was ranked first. Heaven Shaking Tower had been working hard to replace and surpass Heaven Shaking Tower. This was a secret that everyone knew.
Heaven Shaking Tower was happy to see this happen. It also encouraged the disciples to work hard to improve their cultivation so that they would not be complacent and lose their drive.
Heaven Shaking Tower relied on divination and could snatch fortuitous encounters, just like the Great Dream Sect in the Heavenly Demonic Realm. However, Heaven Shaking Tower was more reliable and would not clash with others. If someone arrived before them, Heaven Shaking Tower would retreat and not compete with them. Coupled with their outstanding performance in the foreign battlefields, they completely dispelled people's ill will.
Thinking of this, Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
Heaven Shaking Tower's method of not competing with others for fortuitous encounters was brilliant.
Their divination technique was unparalleled in the Outland. Even if they predicted fortuitous encounters, they would be one step ahead of others. It was rare for them to fall behind others. Even if they fell into others' hands, the truly important fortuitous encounters would probably be silenced by them.
As for those less important encounters, they would purposely fall behind and let others have them. After a few times, it would be enough to build their reputation and let others know of Heaven Shaking Tower's noble character and unquestionable integrity.
Many people could see this method of winning people's hearts, but they did not say it out loud to avoid offending Heaven Shaking Tower for no reason.
"Sigh … In the end, Heaven Shaking Tower is too strong." Han Wuwei had a look of fascination on his face as he sighed, "Not only are their martial arts profound, far superior to the other divisions, but their disciples are all extremely talented. With the two combined, no one can compare to them. Although the Heaven Shaking Pavilion is strong, their disciples are not as good as the Great Sky Peak."
Chu Li asked, "Now that they have Jin Ning, will they be able to take first place?"
"It's all up to you, young master Chu." Han Wuwei said, "You are Jin Ning's touchstone. If he can defeat you, he will also lose face for Great Sky Peak. You are the number two expert praised by Great Sky Peak's Peak Lord."
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "Peak Leader Wang said something like that?"
"Peak Leader Wang once told others that Song Wuji is the strongest in the world, and you, Young Master Chu, are second. He is far inferior to you, Young Master Chu." Han Wuwei nodded and said, "He said it himself, it's definitely true."
Chu Li replied, "Peak Leader Wang, you're flattering me."
Han Wuwei said, "Peak Lord Wang wouldn't easily comment on others. Since he said it, it must be true."
Chu Li sighed. "I'm afraid there are a lot of people who want to trample on me."
"That's right." Han Wuwei said, "Song Wuji can't defeat anyone. As for you, Young Master Chu …"
As he spoke, he shook his head and smiled. Only now did he know that Wang Shouren was right. Chu Li's martial arts was indeed the number two expert. The others who wanted to defeat him were simply dreaming.
Chu Li nodded and said, "Alright, I'll be going then."
He gave a fist salute and disappeared in a flash.
Han Wuwei watched him come and go as he pleased. He felt a chill down his spine, but there was nothing he could do. How could he fight against this kind of person? Even if Heaven Shake Tower found out, he had nothing to feel guilty about.
Chu Li returned to his courtyard in Great Light Surpassing. A moment later, Sun Mingyue came over. Her white clothes fluttered in the wind, and there was a smile on her beautiful face. She came in with a delicate fragrance and asked, "Have the two sects bowed their heads?"
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "They collapsed at the first touch without putting up any resistance. So it was Heaven Shake Tower who was playing tricks behind the scenes. The reason is because of me. Heaven Shake Tower wants to trample on me to advance."
"Heaven Shake Tower!" Sun Mingyue sneered. "They're up to no good!"
Chu Li said, "It's inevitable that those who predict the future will play tricks. They've always wanted to surpass Taihao Peak. I heard that a top-notch master has appeared and wants to trample on me. I'll have to go into isolated cultivation for the next few days."
"No one will disturb you." Sun Mingyue sighed in relief. "Fortunately, I didn't give them all the mutant fruits."
To avoid future trouble, she did not take out all the mutant fruits. She only found a few top-notch disciples to focus on training and blocked the news. A huge battle had actually been averted, so there was no need to worry about Great Light Surpassing Tower anymore.
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Sun Mingyue was meticulous and calculated. She was indeed a rare person.
Sun Mingyue waved her hand and said, "Regarding Heaven Shake Tower, you can't be careless. They have many fortuitous encounters, and many of these fortuitous encounters can't be cultivated."
Chu Li sighed.
Such a large sect had a deep foundation. No one knew when a powerful figure would emerge. There were even many top-notch masters who hid their edge and hid in the dark, only to strike at a critical moment.
Moreover, such a large sect also knew how to hide their strength and bide their time. They would not forcefully stand out. This time, they dared to look for him. Although there was a grudge, it was mostly because they were confident that they could defeat him.
When he thought of this, his desire to go into isolated cultivation grew stronger.
Sun Mingyue sat on the low couch opposite him. "I'll protect you."
Chu Li sat on the couch and began to think. He could not use the Heavenly Demon Blade Technique to deal with people from Heaven Shake Tower. He could try the Heavenly Spirit Scripture, but unfortunately, the Heavenly Spirit Scripture was almost at its peak. It was almost impossible to break through to the ninth level.
He suddenly thought of the Sky Patrol Official.
Thus, he took out the Sky Patrol Official and carefully observed it.
He no longer needed the Sky Patrol Official to cultivate the Observation Technique. However, he still needed the Sky Patrol Official if he wanted to spiritually travel to the heavens. It was made of a strange material and sealed with a strange formation.
He faintly felt that there might be an entrance above it. It was the entrance to the next level. However, this entrance could only be entered by the soul and not by the body. In reality, spiritually traveling to the heavens was no different from ascending for a short period of time.
When he thought of this, he felt that the Sky Patrol Official was infinitely mysterious. If he could see through it, ascending would be a piece of cake. Unfortunately, this Sky Patrol Official was wrapped in an invisible force and the Omniscient Mirror could not observe it.
What was even more mysterious was that he thought he could observe it. Later on, he realized that it was just an illusion that deceived him. The Omniscient Mirror could see through the illusion and see the truth, but it was still deceived. This showed how extraordinary this Sky Patrol Official was.
Sun Mingyue frowned and looked at him. "You're going to spiritually travel?"
Chu Li smiled. "Don't worry, it won't be dangerous."
"How can it not be dangerous!" Sun Mingyue scoffed. "But it's fine. She's ascended for so long, you should be worried about her."
Chu Li smiled without saying a word.
He really wanted to see if he could find Xiao Qi through the Sky Patrol Official. It would be best if he could contact Xiao Qi to relieve his longing.
