Chu Li looked at it with his hands behind his back, but he could not see clearly. There was something strange below that blocked the Omniscient Mirror's observation. It was not a formation but a strange power.
He was interested and smiled. "Have you obtained the inheritance of Taishang Peak?"
"No." Xiao Qi shook her head. "I've only been here for a short time, so I've only cultivated the Taishang Sword Scripture. I haven't been able to cultivate the Swordless Scripture."
"Swordless Scripture …" Chu Li muttered.
When he was in the Southern Border, the Heavenly Sun Church coveted the Swordless Scripture and tried to get it. Unfortunately, he did not know about the Swordless Scripture, so they mistook the Sword of Indifference for the Swordless Scripture.
The Sword of Indifference was about the same level as the Taishang Sword Scripture, but the Swordless Scripture was probably a level higher.
Xiao Qi said, "If I inherit the Swordless Scripture, I'll have to bear the responsibility of Taishang Peak, but I don't want to rebuild it."
"Why?" Chu Li was confused. "Rebuilding Taishang Peak with you as the peak leader is a good thing. You'll finally have your own foundation. It's hard to stay like a duckweed for long, and the Northern Border is in chaos."
Xiao Qi frowned and shook her head. "I'm not strong enough. Rebuilding Taishang Peak will only bring shame to Taishang Peak, and the other sects won't tolerate it. In the end, it'll all be for naught."
Chu Li laughed. "You're afraid of dragging me down, aren't you?"
He knew Xiao Qi very well, so he saw through her thoughts at once.
She wanted to rebuild Taishang Peak. After all, she had deep feelings for Taishang Peak. This was probably because when she first entered this level, she was alone and missed him very much. It was when she was at her weakest that Taishang Peak accepted her, warmed her, and helped her through the most difficult period.
Although she had only been in the peak for a short time, she had deep feelings for it. She would never allow Taishang Peak to disappear.
However, if she rebuilt Taishang Peak, she would definitely do her best to help and trap herself here. This was something she did not want to do, so she would rather not rebuild Taishang Peak.
Xiao Qi shook her head.
Chu Li said, "It's indeed not a good time to rebuild Tai Shang Peak now. I'm busy with trivial matters and have no mood to cultivate. Rebuilding Tai Shang Peak is just a castle in the air. It's better to focus on cultivation now. In the future, when my martial arts is strong enough, Tai Shang Peak will naturally be rebuilt."
Xiao Qi nodded.
"Let's go down and have a look." Chu Li was extremely kind. He could not wait to see the inheritance of the Greatest Peak.
At this point, Xiao Qi was the only one left on Tai Shang Peak, so she did not have to follow the commandment of not teaching her martial arts to outsiders. Moreover, Chu Li was not an outsider.
The sword energy formed a cross above her head and hit the hole.
Immediately, a 'chi chi' sound rang out.
After a while, Xiao Qi nodded. "You may leave now."
Chu Li smiled. "Looks like there's a very powerful mechanism down there."
The Omniscient Mirror could not pry, nor could it sense anything that was happening below. Surprisingly, it could not sense any danger. If it could hide from the Omniscient Mirror, then it would be difficult for others to sense it, and it would be difficult for them to avoid the traps below.
"There's a big formation below. Once someone who isn't a disciple of the Taishang Peak enters, he or she will die without a burial place. Even if a disciple of the Taishang Peak enters, he or she will be hit by the trap and his or her life will be in danger unless they know the way to break it." Xiao Qi had a solemn look on her face.
"The peak master told her how to enter the Inheritance Ground and asked her to take care of it. She did not want Taishang Peak to be annihilated in time. His eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment.
The peak master was very generous. He gave her the Soul Lotus as a body to help Taishang Peak improve. He did not expect Auspicious Sect to attack them because they had no grudges against Taishang Peak.
Thinking of this, her eyes flashed with a cold light and murderous intent surged.
Chu Li patted her shoulder. "Auspicious Sect will be destroyed eventually. There's no hurry."
"We'll deal with them after we get the Inheritance Ground," Xiao Qi said.
The most important reason she brought Chu Li to Venerable Peak was to obtain the inheritance of Venerable Peak. She was afraid that the inheritance would be discovered by Lakshmi Sect and the inheritance of Venerable Peak would be severed. If that happened, she would become a sinner.
Chu Li smiled. "Yes."
Xiao Qi walked in front and entered the cave. They walked down the stone steps. The stone steps were paved with white jade and emitted a warm light. They walked for more than a hundred meters before they saw an empty stone room.
The stone room was about the size of a martial arts field. The walls were carved with strange patterns that looked like fairy tales. The characters were either flying on swords or spewing sword light from their mouths and eyes.
Chu Li glanced at it and smiled. "Can Taishang Peak's martial arts reach this level when cultivated to the peak?"
"Yes." Xiao Qi said, "The peak master once said that Taishang Peak's martial arts can break through the limits of the human body. Unfortunately, the spiritual energy in this world is limited, so it can't be cultivated to perfection."
Chu Li frowned. "Is Taishang Peak's martial arts passed down from the Upper Heaven?"
"Yes." Xiao Qi nodded. "That's why Taishang Peak's martial arts are extremely brilliant. Unfortunately, it's difficult for future generations to enter. Most of them can only cultivate the most basic Taishang Sword Scripture. This is the peak master's regret."
Chu Li nodded. "If you can cultivate it, it'll be considered as fulfilling his wish."
He suddenly had an urge to see if he could cultivate these martial arts. This was because his spiritual energy was from the Upper Heaven, which was different from the spiritual energy in this Upper Heaven.
Xiao Qi arrived in front of a mural that depicted a man with a sword light shooting out from between his eyebrows. She gently placed her palm in between his eyebrows.
"Boom!" After a muffled sound, a stone door suddenly rose and revealed a stone room.
Xiao Qi stepped into the stone room. There was a bookshelf with a few bamboo scrolls on it. They were full of ancient charm and emitted a warm luster. It was obvious that they were not ordinary bamboo as they emitted a strange fluctuation.
Chu Li suddenly realized why he could not see through the real situation here. It was because of these bamboo scrolls.
Xiao Qi picked up a bamboo scroll and handed it to Chu Li. "This is the most important Swordless Scripture."
Chu Li reached out and took it. Immediately, a strange force penetrated his mind. Then, there was an explosive "boom" as if thunder was beside his ears. The void in his mind trembled endlessly. The Buddhas and demons seemed to be unable to stand still as they also trembled.
A bamboo scroll suddenly appeared in the void of his mind and slowly unfolded. It shone brightly like the sun.
The light seemed to completely illuminate the void in his mind. Suddenly, he had a splitting headache and felt like he was about to be burned.
The Buddhas and demons chanted scriptures in unison. Lotus flowers of different colors rushed toward the bamboo scroll and enveloped it, blocking the scorching light. The light then melted the lotus flowers.
As the light melted the lotus flowers, the Buddhas and demons kept spitting out lotus flowers. Lotus flowers of different colors were born and destroyed, maintaining the fragile balance. Chu Li felt that he was lucky to survive and did not die from the light of the bamboo scroll.
He opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Qi with a bitter smile.
Xiao Qi already felt that something was wrong. She frowned. "Are you okay?"
Chu Li sighed. "I don't have the fortune to enjoy it!"
Xiao Qi pointed at his hand.
Chu Li realized that his hand was empty. The bamboo scroll had disappeared.
Xiao Qi said, "The Peak Master only told me that the Swordless Scripture can't be forced. If I can cultivate it, I'll be able to see it once I touch it. If I can't, it's useless even if I hold it in my hand."
Chu Li sighed. "It's powerful. I need to study it carefully. Let's go out first."
He was not confident that he could subdue the Swordless Scripture, so he was doing his best to resist it.
