Chu Li remained silent.
It was not that he was afraid that the martial arts of the Taishang Peak would be passed on to outsiders. The Unmoved Sword Technique was indeed exquisite and was also a unique skill. However, the foundation of this unique skill was still the skill. If the skill was not pure, then the power of the Unmoved Sword would be average. If the skill was pure, then the power would be amazing.
Just like his current Sword of Indifference, its power was truly world-shocking, because his Heavenly Spirit Scripture was profound, already reaching the ninth level, and he even used the spiritual energy of a higher level.
However, if one wanted to successfully cultivate the Sword of Indifference, they needed enough luck. Because he had the Life and Death Scripture, he could easily cultivate it, absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the Upper Heaven and turning it into Sword Qi. For those without the Life and Death Scripture, if they wanted to cultivate this, not only would they need to be extremely talented, they would also need enough Soul Power and good luck. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to succeed.
Moreover, even if he could guide the spiritual Qi of the First Heaven up to condense it into the Sword of Indifference, it would also consume a lot of spirit, unlike his Life and Death Scripture, which was as easy as taking something out of his pocket and did not consume much spirit.
Therefore, in his hands, the Unmoved divine sword's power was astonishing. In the hands of others, it was indeed an exquisite lost art, but its power could not be mentioned in the same breath. If it could be used to exchange for the Heavenly Yang Secret Code, it would indeed be a worthwhile trade.
The Divine Sword of Forgetfulness was similar to the Regal Sword Scripture, but it was not a martial art study from the Regal Peak. It was obtained from the Forgetfulness Cliff, so it was not a big deal even if it was spread out. It would not cause any trouble for Xiao Qi.
Moreover, he did not really want to trade the entire Sword of Indifference. The first three levels were the real Sword of Indifference, while the last six levels were created by him. If he really trained hard, there would not be any problems in a short period of time, but it would be very difficult to improve.
He had cultivated too many mystical arts, and his attainments in martial arts were profound and peerless. It was very easy for him to create such a mental cultivation method, and it was also flawless.
The Slender Elder saw that Chu Li was really moved, and his heart was excited, but he suppressed his impatience and said calmly, "Master Chu, we are sincere, otherwise we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble, don't you think?"
Chu Li raised his head and looked at him. "Can I really read the Book of Heavenly Sun?"
The thin elder hurriedly nodded, "Of course!"
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "You actually treasure this antique study of Taishang Peak so much? You must know that Taishang Peak has already been destroyed. If it was really powerful, it wouldn't have fallen to such a state. "
He used the Omniscient Mirror to look into the elder's mind, but unfortunately, it was blocked by the brilliant light and he could not see it clearly.
He was just curious as to why the Heavenly Sun Sect valued the Taishang Peak's lost art so much. Logically speaking, the Taishang Peak was a first-rate sect, and the Heavenly Sun Sect was not bad either. They were also first-rate sects, so their martial arts should be on par.
The skinny elder hesitated for a moment and sighed, "To be honest, Young Master Chu, the Taishang Peak's martial arts are still unique. It's just that the Taishang Peak's martial arts are incomplete, that's why it has fallen to this state."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "The Regal Sword Scripture is complete, right?"
If the Regal Sword Scripture was incomplete, how could Xiao Qi have ascended?
The thin elder said, "The Regal Sword Scripture is complete and flawless, but the strongest martial art of the Regal Peak is not the Regal Sword Scripture."
Chu Li scoffed, "What's the use of incomplete martial arts?"
He saw from the other middle-aged man's mind that what they wanted was not the Regal Sword Scripture, but the Swordless Scripture.
This was not the only thing he saw from the middle-aged man's mind, he also saw their attitude towards him. He wondered if they were sincere about the exchange, but the result was in vain. They only wanted the Tai Qing Scripture, not a master like him.
It was useless for him to read the Heavenly Sun Secret Scripture, they could just send more top-notch masters to kill him. It was like burning the bridge after crossing the river and killing the donkey after it had outlived its usefulness.
Chu Li could not help but snicker. It was really a case of mutual deception. He was scheming against others, but others were also scheming against him. It all depended on who was better.
"There's no need to be too complete. We only need to extract the essence to strengthen our martial arts." The thin elder said in a low voice, "Our leader is currently editing the Heavenly Sun Sect's martial arts to surpass our founder."
Chu Li scoffed. "Such ambition … It's impossible for me to believe you completely. It's useless even if you swear."
"Then what do you want?" The thin elder asked.
Chu Li said, "Unless I read the Heavenly Sun Secret Scripture first."
"Impossible!" The thin elder said in a low voice, "What if you go back on your word after you read our secret scripture?"
Chu Li scoffed. "If the Heavenly Sun Secret Scripture is really as mysterious as you say, how can I go back on my word? I can't wait to join the Heavenly Sun Sect. I won't leave even if you chase me away!"
"Impossible!" The thin elder shook his head decisively.
Chu Li sighed. "Then there's no other way. I will never hand over the Taishang Peak's antique study first. Since you won't let me read it first, let's just split up and see who's going to win!"
The thin elder frowned and stared at him. "Master Chu, you should know that if we really fight, you won't be able to escape!"
Chu Li pointed at the lush mountain peak. "Flying Rock Mountain Range is huge. I don't believe that you can fill it with people. Who can catch up to us if we go in?"
"You can't go in!" The thin elder said in a low voice.
He clapped his hands.
Suddenly, twenty middle-aged men appeared in the void. They were from the direction of Flying Rock Mountain Range. They blocked Chu Li's path from several directions. It seemed that they came prepared and had treasures on them.
Once the void was locked, it meant that they had all their people.
Chu Li made up his mind. He was least afraid of being locked in by the void. This was a trump card for others but it was insignificant to him. The only time he was locked in the arcane realm was when he could not escape. Nothing else could stop him.
However, he would not expose this easily. Otherwise, he would be in trouble when he was hunted down in the future.
Chu Li frowned and said coldly, "Looks like I'm going to die here today!"
"Master Chu, you have to think this through. You're still young." The thin elder pointed at himself. "Unlike me, I'm going to be buried soon. Even if we perish together, you'll still be at a disadvantage."
The people on Heaven Layer always maintained their peak physical condition. Only when they were about to die would they show signs of aging. The thin elder's appearance meant that he did not have many years left to live.
Chu Li said, "You want to get the Taishang Peak's martial arts for free? Dream on!"
"Master Chu, it seems like we really have to fight to the death!" The thin elder's face darkened. He stared at Chu Li seriously. "Then we'll have to cripple you first!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand slowly.
Chu Li stared at him coldly.
"Sigh …" The thin elder suddenly sighed and shook his head. "Forget it. I really pity your talent. I can't bear to see a young master like you die like this. It's such a waste of talent!"
Chu Li was calm as usual.
The thin elder said, "If you read the Heavenly Sun Scripture first, you'll give us the Taishang Peak's martial arts?"
Chu Li said, "What do you want? I'm most proficient in the Taishang Sword Scripture. I don't know much about other things! "
The thin elder asked, "What about the Swordless Scripture?"
Chu Li frowned and thought for a while. He nodded slowly. "I've read it before, but I can only remember the beginning."
The thin elder quickly said, "A beginning is good."
Chu Li said, "I want to read the Heavenly Sun Scripture first. Don't try to fool me with a random scripture. Otherwise, you'll never see the Swordless Scripture!"
"Alright!" The thin elder nodded slowly. "But you'll only be able to see a copy. It can't be the original."
Chu Li frowned and shook his head slowly. "No!"
The thin elder scoffed. "The original is not something that we can read as we please."
Chu Li shook his head. "I'll only read the original."
