Sun Mingyue's body suddenly shone brightly, then shone again and shone again as if she was breathing. The light expanded and contracted, gradually becoming more and more solid as if it was real.
Finally, all the light shone into her body, making her look even more pure and flawless like white jade.
Sun Mingyue slowly opened her eyes. Without turning around, she asked softly, "When did you come out?"
Chu Li was still pressing on her back as inner energy flowed into her. He smiled. "I just came out. Congratulations on your great improvement in cultivation, but you still need to rest for a while to prevent any internal injuries."
At this stage of cultivation, their bodies were both strong and delicate. If they were not careful, they would suffer internal injuries that would greatly affect their future. Sometimes, these internal injuries were the reason why they could not advance further in their cultivation.
Their bodies were strong to outsiders, but outsiders would not be able to hurt them. Their bodies were delicate to themselves, but their inner energy was too strong, so they could easily hurt themselves. It was like a double-edged sword.
After Sun Mingyue calmed herself down and began to channel for a quarter of an hour, her entire body felt warm and smooth. Her Great Light Scripture had advanced to the next level and became as gentle as water. It was warm but not scorching, and it had worn away her sharpness.
This was with the help of Chu Li's Heavenly Spirit Scripture. Otherwise, it would have taken a long time to complete. With the help of the Heavenly Spirit Scripture, it only took fifteen minutes.
Chu Li swayed and moved from behind her to in front of her. The two of them sat opposite each other, only half an arm's length apart. Their knees were touching and they could smell each other's breath.
He took out a box and handed it to her.
Sun Mingyue rolled her eyes at him and took it. She opened it and saw two fruits inside. She looked up at him. "What fruits are these?"
"One strengthens your cultivation, and the other strengthens your body. It'll be best if you consume it now that you've just advanced," Chu Li said.
Sun Mingyue did not say much. She ate the apricot-like fruits and began channeling with Chu Li's help.
Two hours later, Sun Mingyue stopped.
She was dressed in snow-white clothes and her eyes were gentle. Her body seemed to be emitting a gentle and warm light that calmed one's mind. One could not help but feel tranquil and otherworldly, wanting to stay in this state forever.
Chu Li was shocked. He could not help but laugh. "What are you …?"
Sun Mingyue shook her head. "The Great Light Scripture is almost perfected. I'm only one level away."
"The Great Light Scripture has such a wonderful effect that it can make people want to convert?" Chu Li asked.
Sun Mingyue nodded slowly. "The Great Light Scripture is one of the most profound Buddhist doctrines. Naturally, it has such a magical effect."
Chu Li said, "Don't tell me you have the thought of transcending the mortal world and entering the Gate of Buddhism?"
Sun Mingyue rolled her eyes at him and snorted. "I'm already stuck in the mortal world. How can I leave?"
Chu Li smiled.
Sun Mingyue scoffed. "It seems like everything is going well for you. Are you going to continue looking for Xiao Qi?"
"Yes." Chu Li stopped smiling.
He thought about how Xiao Qi was alone in a foreign land and how the Northern Territory was not peaceful at all. There were endless fights and killings. He wondered if Xiao Qi was safe. Was she cultivating hard on the mountain, was she unable to enter the mountain, or was she fighting at the foot of the mountain?
Thinking that she, who had always been cold and aloof, would be ordered to kill by others, he couldn't help but feel a wave of heartache, unable to accept it.
Sun Mingyue said, "Then let's continue. Just don't be too anxious, it'll only ruin things."
Chu Li kept the wooden box in his inner pocket and sighed. Then, he told them about the recent events.
The women around him were his confidants and also his brains. They were all intelligent people who could see through the affairs of the world. They could help him come up with ideas and fill in the gaps so that he wouldn't make any mistakes.
Sun Mingyue frowned slightly. She got off the bed and paced with her hands behind her back. Then, she left the house and went to the courtyard outside.
The two of them went to the gazebo outside and looked at the rustling bamboo branches and leaves as they pondered.
"It seems like the longer you live, the more afraid you are of death." Sun Mingyue sighed. "The fear of death can make people do something like this. It's quite crazy."
She couldn't imagine that such powerful people would put aside their mortal enemies to help their enemies in order to unify the Heavenly Demonic Realm and ascend. If it were her, she would never be able to do it.
Nonetheless, she would never underestimate them because of this. If she had lived for ten thousand years and had yet to fulfill her ambitions, she might not be as good as them. She would also be driven to the brink of collapse by the fear of death and would do the same thing.
Chu Li asked, "Can we unify the Heavenly Demonic Realm by doing this?"
"There's a high chance, but things always go beyond one's expectations. We need to make more preparations." Sun Mingyue frowned. "Can the six of them defeat all the Heavenly Demonic Realm masters?"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Sun Mingyue asked, "Are they really that powerful?"
"They didn't cultivate for ten thousand years for nothing." Chu Li explained, "When they were first trapped, they wanted to break out of the arcane realm, so they cultivated hard. Moreover, there are so many rare fruits in the realm, so they improved by leaps and bounds."
"That's true." Sun Mingyue sighed. "How pitiful."
She shuddered at the thought of being trapped in the arcane realm for ten thousand years.
That was why she sympathized with Xiao Qi. She ascended to the Upper Heaven alone and did not know when Chu Li would be able to go up and meet her. The loneliness must have been unbearable.
"Let them mess around," Chu Li said. "I'll appear after a while."
"That's for the best," Sun Mingyue said.
Chu Li asked, "Do you have any intention of unifying the Heavenly Realm?"
"Hmm?" Sun Mingyue shook her head and laughed. "I won't dream of that. The Heaven Shaking Tower and Taihao Peak are obstacles that I can't overcome. Besides, there are many hidden talents in the Heavenly Realm."
Chu Li smiled. "It's also a path to ascension."
"It's harder than cultivating to perfect mastery. My Great Light Scripture is only one level away," Sun Mingyue said. "You should hurry up too."
As they spoke, Chu Li held the Heaven Inspecting Credential in his hand again.
He slowly opened his eyes and felt the changes in his body. According to the time, ten days had passed on the Upper Heaven. However, the body formed by his soul did not seem to be affected at all. His vital energy flowed smoothly as if he was meditating instead of his soul leaving his body.
He discovered a benefit. This time, he did not appear at the previous entrance when he came to the Upper Heaven. Instead, he entered his body directly. It seemed like the Soul Lotus was really mysterious.
In that case, the body formed by the Soul Lotus had become the door to his soul. He could enter directly, which saved him a lot of time.
He felt that if his soul left his body for ten days and returned, he would feel uncomfortable and weak. However, the body formed by the Soul Lotus was no different. It was as strong as before.
He floated up and felt a surge of spiritual energy. He activated the Life and Death Scripture and the spiritual energy from the Upper Heaven rushed in. He then started to activate the Heavenly Spirit Scripture and calmed himself down to cultivate it.
The Heavenly Spirit Scripture was only a step away from entering the ninth level. He could not break through it when he was in the Heavenly Realm, but it was easy on the Upper Heaven.
A day later, his body trembled. The little beast in the void of his mind suddenly opened its eyes and roared at the sky. Its body shone brightly like a big round mirror.
He opened his eyes and smiled. He had finally broken through the ninth level of the Heavenly Spirit Scripture. There was only one level left. He closed his eyes again and prepared to cultivate the tenth level in one go. It would be easier when he reached the Heavenly Realm.
