He thought he could easily get started, but when he cultivated, he found that even with strong spiritual power and fine control, he still could not master the Traction Skill.
He practiced and studied for two days, but he still could not get started. However, he found the reason.
The cultivation of the Traction Skill needed a seed. Without this seed, it was useless no matter how much cultivation was done. This seed was passed down from generation to generation. Only the sect leader and inherited elders of the Traction Sect had it.
But now, the Traction Door had disappeared. There were no sect leaders or elders. The Traction Skill had been lost in the long river of history. It was impossible to find a seed now.
The more he studied the Traction Skill, the more he felt it was a pity. If he really got this secret skill, even if it was limited, he could only control one person. If he wanted to deal with Song Wuji, even if he could not control him, he could make a mess at the crucial moment.
He studied the information collected by Meng Chenfan. It was about what the Traction Sect did. They manipulated others and did whatever they wanted. Their methods were ruthless and meticulous. In just a hundred years, they almost unified the Outland.
Unfortunately, they were feared by other sects, so they joined forces to destroy the Traction Sect.
The Traction Skill was destroyed under the witness of other sects. The Traction Skill that was passed down might have been done by a disciple of the Traction Sect. This disciple did not die in the war.
When all the disciples of the Machine Taking Sect were killed, their identities and numbers were checked one by one. Only one had slipped through the net, and it was a disciple with shallow cultivation. However, when the world searched for this disciple, they couldn't find him. Everyone deduced that he might be dead, so they stopped searching after a year.
The Traction Skill was passed down by this disciple. Unfortunately, this disciple had ordinary qualifications and could not master the Traction Skill. That was why he was expelled from the sect. Later, he secretly wrote down the Traction Skill and memorized it. There might be some errors.
Chu Li shook his head and sighed helplessly. Things did not go according to plan. He thought he finally found a way to deal with Song Wuji, but he could only see it but could not cultivate it.
No matter how strong his spirit was, he could not master the Traction Skill without the seed.
In the end, he put it down. In order to relieve his depression, he went on a mental journey again.
He appeared at the place where he first appeared. Knowing that his deduction was correct, the Sky Patrol Credential was indeed the entrance, his soul flashed and appeared at the place where he followed Xu Jingyi.
When he appeared there, his expression changed slightly. Xu Jingyi had already disappeared, and there was no sign of her within a radius of three hundred miles. It seemed like she had already left. He had wasted too much time in the Sky Beyond Heavens, and even more time had passed here. Xu Jingyi might have already recovered from her injuries and returned to the Tanhua Divine Sect.
Chu Li immediately used his Derivation Technique and quickly found the direction. He ran in the southeast direction and still had energy left after running for six hours.
In just these three short Astral Journeys, his soul had doubled in size. The speed at which it grew was so fast that even he was surprised.
Moreover, he had a faint worry that the stronger one's soul force was, the better it would be. Once it reached a certain level of strength, it would surpass the limits of the body. The body was the skin that carried the soul. If the soul force was too strong, the skin wouldn't be able to withstand it.
He felt that he was about to reach his limit and needed to strengthen his body. However, it was difficult to strengthen his body. After consuming the Divine Demon Herb, his body had become stronger day by day and had long surpassed the limits of a human. Although he was still getting stronger, the speed had slowed down.
He now knew that his soul could not be strengthened blindly. If he continued to strengthen it, it would harm his body instead. Therefore, he could not go on a mental journey too often. Every time he went on a mental journey, his soul would grow a little stronger.
Therefore, he had to find Xiao Qi as soon as possible and meet her.
There were two shortcuts. The first was to ask the imperial court for help, and the second was to ask the Tanhua Divine Sect for help.
Although the Seven Seas Sect and the Eight Barren Sect were powerful, the Tanhua Divine Sect was better at gathering information. Their followers were everywhere. Although they did not have enough masters and were not considered a top-notch sect, they were very well-informed.
However, these two methods were difficult to achieve. He was now in the state of a soul. Once he revealed his existence, he would immediately attract a fatal disaster. According to the booklet that Xu Jingyi had obtained, there were many things in this world that could restrain and harm the soul.
Therefore, he had to be very careful.
After running for six hours in one go, he saw Xu Jingyi through the Omniscient Mirror.
Xu Jingyi was sitting in a forest healing herself. She was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
Her left shoulder was wrapped in silk, and her sleeve was torn to cover her wound. Blood had soaked the silk, and the original white silk had turned brown. Her face was as pale as paper, and her hair was disheveled.
Chu Li used the Omniscient Mirror to observe and saw three middle-aged men a mile away from her. They were already dead. Judging by their clothes, they were disciples of the Seven Seas Sect.
He could not help but feel puzzled, so he used the Omniscient Mirror to observe Xu Jingyi's mind and found the reason.
The Seven Seas Sect was hunting her down because they regarded her as a traitor. They felt that if she had not leaked the information, the Commander of the Seven Seas Sect would not have been killed by Song Zhanqing. Therefore, they wanted to kill her to avenge the Commander of the Seven Seas Sect.
Tang Yuan, the Commander of the Seven Seas Sect, had been killed by Song Zhanqing in the Eight Barren Sect.
Chu Li could not help but feel that it was ridiculous. It was the Eight Barren Sect who killed Tang Yuan, but the Seven Seas Sect wanted to vent their anger on Xu Jingyi.
It was obvious that the Seven Seas Sect could not afford to offend the Eight Barren Sect. They wanted to find a way to vent, so they could only find Xu Jingyi who had escaped.
Xu Jingyi's Epiphyllum's Dream was shockingly powerful, and it was in between reality and illusion. The Seven Seas Sect could find her and even injure her. Chu Li dared not underestimate the Seven Seas Sect anymore, and the Eight Barren Sect was even more tyrannical.
Chu Li observed Xu Jingyi's condition and sighed. Xu Jingyi was already at the end of her rope. Even when she was healing, she was only holding on. It seemed that she had used a secret skill that consumed her lifespan. Now, the side effects were acting up, and she was barely breathing. If it were not for the Spirit Medicine supporting her, she would have collapsed and could not move anymore.
Xu Jingyi channeled to heal, but her emotions were in turmoil. She could no longer suppress her distracting thoughts. Scenes of the past flashed in her mind. One afternoon when she was five years old, her parents were killed. When the masked murderer was about to kill her, a fairy-like woman appeared.
She was an ordinary disciple of the Epiphyllum Holy Church. He killed the murderer, and when he saw that she was homeless and her parents were no longer around, he took her as a disciple and brought her back to the Epiphyllum Holy Church.
She grew up in the Epiphyllum Holy Church. Unfortunately, before she could repay her master, her master was killed. She had been looking for the murderer all these years, but her master died too quickly, and there were no clues. No one knew who killed her.
The Divine Church investigated, but there were no results in the end. They could only seal the file and wait for new clues to appear before they could investigate again. She knew that this was just a comforting statement. Once the file was sealed, there was almost no chance to open it again, and it would become an unsolved case.
She desperately tried to make a contribution and cultivated the extremely difficult Epiphyllum's Dream just to find her master's murderer. If she could not find the murderer, she would not be worthy of being her master's disciple.
