After mastering the ninth level of Heavenly Spirit Scripture, the vital energy in his body was like mercury. It was unusually heavy, but it was exceptionally fast when it was activated. It was like a gentle push and it would move endlessly without any obstacles.
His meridians also became exceptionally smooth as if he was sliding ice cubes on ice. It was unlike before where it felt like water flowing in a canal. With such inner energy, the power of martial arts was naturally multiplied.
He suppressed his excitement and continued to activate it, wanting to advance further.
However, after a while, he slowly opened his eyes and shook his head with a sigh.
Although he had easily reached the ninth level of Heavenly Spirit Scripture, it was extremely difficult to advance to the tenth level. It was as if it was out of reach. It was as if he looked up at the sky, which was so high that he could not touch it.
The difference between the ninth layer and the tenth layer seemed to be only one layer, and it didn't seem to be very far. However, when one really cultivated it, they realized that it was far beyond their reach. It wasn't as easy as they had imagined it to be. Instead, it was tens or even hundreds of times harder than they had imagined.
Chu Li even doubted whether he could cultivate the Heavenly Spirit Scripture to the tenth level because he could not see any signs of perfecting it. If he continued to cultivate like this, it would be hopeless even if he spent eight to ten years.
He shook his head again and sighed.
It was not surprising. After all, the people here had a longer lifespan and could easily live for ten thousand years. According to this thought, there was no need to rush for ten thousand years. He could just cultivate it slowly and he would be able to master it after ten thousand years.
The state of consummation was so far out of reach that it made him disheartened. This was in the Upper Heavens, where the spiritual qi was so dense and pure. If it was in the Lower Realm, in the Heavens beyond Heaven, who knew how long it would take? Without a special opportunity, it was impossible to consummate.
This showed how difficult it was to ascend. If he really wanted to cultivate the Upper Heaven Martial Arts to perfect it and ascend, he definitely could not choose the Heavenly Spirit Scripture. It was too difficult.
He exited the cave in a flash and continued north to enter the Flying Rock Mountain Range.
With his Light-body Technique, he still ran for ten days and ten nights. He returned to the Outland once and finally arrived at the Flying Rock Mountains on the tenth night.
Under the moonlight, the towering mountain was like a giant dragon lying between heaven and earth. It was as if it covered half of the sky. One could only see the mountains and nothing else.
His sharp eyesight allowed him to see even further. He could even see that under the moonlight, the white clouds covered the upper half of the mountain range, and only the lower half could be seen. It was like a stone wall in front of his eyes, and he felt like he was under a precipice.
Looking at this mountain range from afar, he felt a sense of danger. This Flying Rock Mountain Range was like a giant beast. Once he got close, he would be in danger.
Through the observation of the Omniscient Mirror, Chu Li discovered that the forest was shrouded in lush greenery. There was no path up and no signs of human habitation. It seemed to be a forbidden area for humans, so Chu Li leaped onto the treetops and flew upwards. He was about to cross over the Flying Rock Mountains.
Even if it was dangerous, he still wanted to cross over and look for Xiao Qi in the Northern Region. Moreover, the danger was not fatal, so he just had to be careful.
"Heh, finally found it!" Suddenly, a cold laugh rang out.
Chu Li frowned as he looked at the eight middle-aged men who had appeared in the void behind him. He could tell at a glance that they were from the Heavenly Sun Cult.
He did not expect that after he let those two guys go, the Heavenly Sun Cult would continue to pester him and really come looking for him.
The middle-aged man in the lead was handsome and elegant. He gently waved the fan in his hand and took a step forward. When he was only ten feet away from Chu Li, he slowly closed his white fan and fist saluted. "I am Lu Chen, the Fourth Envoy of the Heavenly Sun Cult."
Chu Li nodded. "Nice to meet you."
"You must be Chu Li?" Lu Chen said slowly.
Chu Li replied, "Yes, I am. What does Fourth Envoy Lu want to say?"
"Young Master Chu, are you really a disciple of the Grand Supreme Peak?" Lu Chen waved his fan twice and smiled. "From what I know, the Grand Supreme Peak is not in a good state."
Chu Li frowned and looked at him. "What do you mean, Fourth Envoy Lu?"
Lu Chen's eyes were like lightning as he stared into Chu Li's eyes and smiled. "The Grand Supreme Peak no longer exists!"
Chu Li looked at him seriously.
Lu Chen chuckled. "Why, Young Master Chu doesn't know about this?"
"Where did Fourth Envoy Lu get this information?" Chu Li said in a low voice. "It's just a rumor!"
He used the Omniscient Mirror to observe and see what Lu Chen was thinking. However, Lu Chen's body was as bright as the sun and could not be observed. It was similar to the Great Light Scripture but it was more intense and less gentle.
The power of the Great Light Scripture was amazing. It was bright but gentle. On the other hand, the Heavenly Sun Divine Power that Lu Chen cultivated was as fierce as the afternoon sun. It was extremely positive and indestructible.
Lu Chen shook his head. "Although the Heavenly Sun Cult is not talented, we are well-informed. It's a pity that the Grand Supreme Peak was an overlord. I didn't expect it to be destroyed overnight. It's such a pity."
Chu Li's face was solemn and he frowned.
His heart was in his throat. The Grand Supreme Peak was where Xiao Qi ascended. If the Grand Supreme Peak was destroyed, Xiao Qi would be in danger. Although her cultivation level was high, it was far from being able to run amok.
Lu Chen waved his fan and sighed. "It seems that Young Master Chu doesn't know about this."
Chu Li said, "I don't believe that the Grand Supreme Peak was destroyed."
"This news can't be wrong." Lu Chen shook his head and looked regretful. "However, these things are inevitable. Young Master Chu, please accept it."
Chu Li remained silent.
Lu Chen said, "Young Master Chu, have you thought about the future?"
Chu Li looked up at him. "What do you mean, Square Messenger Lu?"
"Young Master Chu, have you not thought of a way out?" Lu Chen asked.
Chu Li laughed. "Are you trying to recruit me into the Heavenly Sun Cult?"
"Yes." Lu Chen nodded slowly.
He was very familiar with the Flying Rock Mountains. That was why he teleported here. It saved him a lot of trouble but it was difficult to find Chu Li. Fortunately, they had spread their net everywhere. More than a hundred followers were spread out and they were lucky enough to meet Chu Li.
Chu Li said, "What if I don't accept the recruitment?"
Lu Chen closed his fan and shook his head. "I think Young Master Chu is a smart man. You know when to advance and when to retreat."
Chu Li scoffed. "You're after the Grand Supreme Peak's martial arts, aren't you?"
Lu Chen smiled. "Although the Grand Supreme Peak was destroyed, the martial arts of the Grand Supreme Peak are indeed top-notch. I can't help but admire them."
Chu Li said thoughtfully, "It's a pity that the martial arts of the Grand Supreme Peak can't be taught to outsiders. Otherwise, one's soul would be destroyed and never be reincarnated."
Lu Chen smiled. "If you join the Heavenly Sun Cult, you won't be considered an outsider. Teaching it to outsiders won't be considered a violation of the oath, right?"
He knew that when all disciples cultivated advanced martial arts, they would swear a venomous oath not to teach it to outsiders. However, this oath was not invulnerable. Of course, it could be taught internally. What was internal or external? There were loopholes to be exploited.
Chu Li said slowly, "I won't violate the oath. You can forget about it."
The smile on Lu Chen's face disappeared. He gently tapped his palm with his fan. "Looks like we won't be fellow disciples."
Chu Li shook his head.
Lu Chen sighed. "Then we can only offend you. Please return to our headquarters."
Chu Li scoffed. "Looks like you're determined to hit me when I'm down."
Lu Chen said, "You can only blame yourself for coming at the wrong time, Young Master Chu. You can only blame yourself for being too coincidental. Why did you have to capture him after he was injured? Wouldn't it be better if he just left with us?"
Chu Li smiled. "That depends on your ability."
Although he was smiling, his heart was surging with murderous intent. When he heard such bad news, he was worried about Xiao Qi. Lu Chen and the others coming to stop him was simply courting death.
