Chu Li had already gotten what he wanted, so he did not ask further. "These four jade pendants can last for ten days. How long will it take for you to return to the headquarters?"
"Ten days is enough!" Xu Jingyi quickly said, "I estimate it will take another five days to return to the headquarters."
"That's good." Chu Li did not say anything else after that.
He was thinking, if it was a second-rate faction, there must be something that could suppress souls, but whether it was strong or not, he could take the risk and test it out.
If he could see the Ephemeral Flower Scripture, he would have a deeper understanding of the Ephemeral Flower Dream, and even more secret skills.
Deep in his bones, he had an almost instinctive greed and desire for martial arts. He always wanted to practice more martial arts. Every time he learned a new martial art, he would have an additional understanding of the world. It would be a new perspective for him to understand the world and understand the operation of heaven and earth. Even if some of the martial arts were not that powerful, he still wanted to learn them.
The Ephemeral Flower Divine Church seemed to be extraordinary. From Xu Jingyi, it could be seen that she would rather die than reveal her identity. It was ruthless and strict, so it should not be underestimated, even if it was only a second-rate faction.
It looked like the all-powerful Seven Seas Sect was only a third-rate faction.
"Is Song Zhanqing from the Sweep Sect a first-class master?" Chu Li's voice rang in her mind again.
He wanted to judge if there was any difference between the martial arts in this world and the Grandmaster.
Xu Jingyi gently shook her head. "The Sweep Sect is a second-rate faction, and Song Zhanqing is a talent from the Sweep Sect. He is considered a second-rate master. I am far inferior to him."
Chu Li pondered.
Song Zhanqing's martial arts had the charm of penetrating the void. If he was not a first-class master, then the martial arts in this world were too strong and dangerous. He really did not know what a first-class master looked like.
"Sigh …" He sighed faintly.
Xu Jingyi hurriedly said, "Senior, don't worry. I will look up the Regal Sword Scripture when I return to the headquarters. I will definitely help you find a sect. As long as there is a sect, they will find a way to get a Soul Lotus for you, and you will be able to live for ten thousand years."
Chu Li said, "Thank you."
He faintly felt that even if he found the Soul Lotus, he wouldn't be able to live for more than ten thousand years. Otherwise, why would he need to ascend? He could just use Astral Projection instead. Of course, his lifespan in the lower realm wouldn't be able to reach ten thousand years. If he died in the lower realm, his soul in this realm would probably be …
Soon after, he thought of the previous owner of the Heavenly Inspecting Token. His soul was not destroyed even in the Sky Beyond Heavens, so there must be a secret behind it.
The most important thing now was to find Xiao Qi and resolve the pain of lovesickness. It would be best if he could be with Xiao Qi. Even if he only existed as a soul, he could still help Xiao Qi so that she would not be lonely.
Xu Jingyi seemed to have sensed Chu Li's melancholy, so she stopped bothering him and continued on with her journey.
Her speed was extremely fast, and with the protection of the jade pendant, there were no pursuers along the way.
After rushing for five days in one go, they saw a towering mountain in the distance in the evening. It was like a giant dragon entrenched between heaven and earth, towering majestically. Looking at it from afar, one would feel humble.
As he observed with the Omniscient Mirror, Chu Li marveled. The mountain peaks here were comparable to the Hundred-Thousand Hills. They were truly majestic. The peaks were above the clouds and could not be seen due to the white clouds.
Just as Chu Li was about to sense if it was dangerous here, a bright light suddenly shone before his eyes. Instantly, the scenery around him distorted. He already understood that he was traveling through the void. He opened his eyes helplessly and found Sun Mingyue sitting opposite him, looking at him like a white jade Guanyin.
He curled his lips into a wry smile.
Sun Mingyue looked at him. "Did something good happen over there?"
Chu Li shook his head and smiled bitterly. "This is a forced return. It happens every time during a critical moment."
He already understood that there was a time limit to the Astral Projection. Last time, he retreated quickly, but this time, he persisted for a longer time. Could it be that the time was extended as his soul became stronger?
Sun Mingyue scoffed. "What critical moment?"
Chu Li was amused to see her jealous expression. She was now the realm master of Great Light Surpassing Realm. Her words carried enormous weight in the outside world and no one dared to disobey her. Yet, she was acting like a little girl in front of him.
At the same time, he admired her sharp senses. She knew that he had encountered a woman. Although she was just a little girl to him, he did not see her as a woman and only saw her as a helper.
"Another beauty, huh?" Sun Mingyue scoffed.
Chu Li smiled. "It really is the Upper Heaven. Have you heard of the Temple of Tan Hua Holy Church?"
When Sun Mingyue heard that it was the Upper Heaven, she knew that he was looking for Xiao Qi. She said seriously, "Did you find her? … I've never heard of the Temple of Tan Hua Holy Church. It's not an ordinary sect to dare to call itself a holy church. "
If an ordinary sect dared to call itself a holy church, they would definitely be ridiculed or even suppressed. It was unusual for them to be able to persist.
Chu Li shook his head. "But it's not that far off."
Even if Xiao Qi's sect was a secluded one and the Temple of Tan Hua Holy Church was a second-rate sect, they should still be able to find out about it. News of Xiao Qi would soon appear. Chu Li could not wait as he thought about this.
Sun Mingyue scoffed. "Congratulations. You really came back at the wrong time!"
Chu Li smiled as he held her hand. "Did anything happen at the Heaven Shake Pavilion?"
"They've settled down." Sun Mingyue rolled her eyes at him. She knew that he was trying to change the topic. She got up and shook his hand off. "Since you're back, take a good rest. We'll talk again during dinner."
Chu Li nodded.
Sun Mingyue gracefully left his house.

Chu Li could not wait to use the Astral Wander again the next morning. He could not care less about the strengthening of his soul. He was already feeling a little pressured. If his soul grew any stronger, his body might have problems.
However, when he thought about seeing Xiao Qi soon, he could not wait any longer. He must see her first.
He instantly appeared at the entrance and shifted the void to the mountain where the Temple of Tan Hua Holy Church was located. He tried to sense but could not sense Xu Jingyi's presence.
Chu Li was overjoyed.
It seemed that there was a force in this world that could block his senses. This meant that Xiao Qi was not necessarily in danger. It was very likely that her senses were blocked. He did not know what Xu Jingyi was doing now.
He faintly felt that Xu Jingyi was in the mountain opposite him.
His soul floated closer to the mountain. When he was about ten miles away, he suddenly stopped.
Although he was in his soul form, he could still feel a chill. It was a strong sense of danger. His instincts told him that his life would be in danger if he went any closer. He did not stubbornly stay where he was.
The Omniscient Mirror continued to observe.
The majestic mountain in front of him became bigger as he got closer. The Omniscient Mirror could only observe a small part of the area. Some areas were blocked by an invisible force. It was like a white fog that could not be seen clearly.
These areas that were covered by the white fog emitted a fatal danger that warned Chu Li not to go near.
He speculated how long he could stay here and whether he could wait for Xu Jingyi.
When Xu Jingyi returned to the main altar this time, she would probably receive merit and read the Tan Hua Holy Book before going into isolated cultivation. He did not know how long it would take for her to come out and whether he could wait for her.
The jade pendant could last for ten days. It should have turned into powder yesterday. This should be able to remind Xu Jingyi to look for him. However, he did not know if she would not look for him after yesterday or if she encountered something else.
