The next moment, the two of them appeared in the basilica of Great Peak.
Chu Li took a deep breath to suppress his frustration and regained his composure. "Are Auspicious Sect and Joyful Sect really allies?"
"Two branches." Xiao Qi sat by the table and sighed. "Their relationship is close and they're on the same side. This time, we won't be able to gain anything."
Chu Li asked, "Are you really willing to let the books be taken away?"
"The books are dead, but the people are alive." Xiao Qi said, "If we can cultivate the Swordless Scripture, it doesn't matter how strong they are. We can just go straight to their door and take back their Sutra Library!"
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Xiao Qi's state of mind was broadened and her boldness surpassed men.
Xiao Qi said, "Moreover, I also understand that the books on the ship might not be from the Sutra Library!"
Chu Li smiled. "I also have this suspicion, but to make it real, I'm afraid it's not fake. At most, they'll keep some of the important books and leave the unimportant ones on the ship."
If they really wanted to take back the books from the Sutra Library, it was extremely simple. They would just send a few masters, especially those important books. They would definitely send masters to take away the rest as bait.
Chu Li thought about it and suddenly disappeared. The next moment, he returned with two red flowers the size of a baby's fist in his hand. They were red and delicate. He put them in his mouth and slowly chewed.
He began to use the Auspicious Divine Power. After a moment, he squinted his eyes and slowly said, "It's really effective."
"Why?" Xiao Qi said, "This is a Auspicious Flower."
"It's the best to use to strengthen the soul energy." Chu Li praised, "With the Spirit Cultivation Art, try it."
He handed the remaining flower to Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi directly put it in her mouth and quickly chewed it clean. Then, she closed her eyes and used the Spirit Cultivation Art. She had inherited Chu Li's Spirit Cultivation Art, so she quickly transformed her spiritual power into soul energy.
She opened her eyes and sighed. "Just as I expected!"
She also knew that the Auspicious Flower was the source of trouble and the reason why Auspicious Sect destroyed Great Peak. Before she inherited the Spirit Cultivation Art from Chu Li, she tried it but it was not noticeable. However, after obtaining the Spirit Cultivation Art, she became more sensitive and felt the value of the Auspicious Flower.
Chu Li sighed. "Unfortunately, there are only a few Auspicious Flowers left in Great Peak."
"Apart from Taishang Peak, there's another peak that has this." Xiao Qi scoffed. "Let's go and take a look."
She held Chu Li's hand and the two of them disappeared from the basilica. The next moment, they appeared in a ravine.
There was an expanse of red flowers in the valley, all of them auspicious flowers. They bloomed brilliantly, tender and beautiful like flames.
Chu Li could not help but exclaim in admiration as he scanned his surroundings. His Omniscient Mirror had already detected that this place was two hundred miles away from Tai Shang Peak. It was just an ordinary valley in a continuous mountain range and there were hardly any signs of human habitation.
Most likely, the disciples of Lucky Sect had also searched the surroundings of Taishang Peak, but they had not been able to reach this far, so they had not discovered this place.
"This is the source of the Auspicious Flowers." Xiao Qi said, "The Auspicious Flowers on Taishang Peak were transplanted from here. Initially, I thought that they were beautiful and the fragrance they emitted could calm one's mind. I didn't expect that they would have such a miraculous effect on the Auspicious Sect, but they've become the source of disaster."
Chu Li said, "I'm still not strong enough. Being weak is the source of trouble!"
"That's right!" Xiao Qi nodded.
She picked up a Auspicious Flower and gently put it into her mouth, chewing gracefully. Finally, she channeled the Auspicious Divine Power and the Cultivation of Spirit. Her bright eyes flashed as she nodded. "As expected."
Chu Li followed her example and channeled the Auspicious Divine Power to eat the Auspicious Flower. He then used the Cultivation of Spirit and exclaimed, "The effect of the Auspicious Flowers here is far from comparable to those on Taishang Peak."
"It seems that the older the flower, the better the effect." Xiao Qi sighed. "The Auspicious Flowers here are unknown for many years, and the characteristics of the Auspicious Flowers are strange. After blooming, the flower will wither and turn into a seed. Then, it will bloom again the next year and turn into a seed again. This cycle will never stop."
Chu Li asked, "It looks like a flower, but it's actually similar to a tree?"
"Exactly." Xiao Qi said, "That's why the medicinal effect is preserved. The older the flower, the stronger the medicinal effect."
Chu Li smiled. "If that's the case, the medicinal effect of the Auspicious Flowers in this valley is enough to surpass the medicinal effect of all the Auspicious Flowers on Taishang Peak combined?"
"Of course." Xiao Qi nodded. "Although there are many Auspicious Flowers on Taishang Peak, the medicinal effect is far inferior. I don't know how old the Auspicious Flowers in this valley are. The further east you go, the longer they live."
She slowly walked from the entrance of the valley. The further she went east, the darker the color of the Auspicious Flowers became. The Auspicious Flowers in the valley were red and delicate, but the Auspicious Flowers in the east were as red as blood.
Chu Li plucked one and put it into his mouth. He felt the power of this Auspicious Flower. It was indeed far better than the one at the entrance of the valley. It was a hundred times better.
He smiled and exclaimed, "It really is a rare treasure!"
He had seen many rare fruits in the arcane realm, but none like the Auspicious Flowers. Some could strengthen the soul and the body, but the effect on the spirit was not as effective. The Auspicious Flowers did not have any effect on the body and only focused on the spirit. It was extremely pure.
Xiao Qi said, "With these, can I cultivate the Swordless Scripture?"
Chu Li thought about it and slowly nodded.
The best way was for Xiao Qi to strengthen her spirit so that she could cultivate the Swordless Scripture. However, the bamboo slip had entered the void of his mind and could not be taken out. He had to suppress it first before he could cultivate, which forced him to strengthen his spirit.
"You should strengthen your spirit too." Chu Li pondered. "The Swordless Scripture has a high requirement for the soul."
"Yes." Xiao Qi nodded.
The two of them put aside their worries about the Sutra Library and focused on eating the Auspicious Flowers.
Chu Li ate a hundred Auspicious Flowers in one go and continuously suppressed the bamboo slip with his power. Finally, after he ate the hundredth Auspicious Flower, his eyes flashed with a green light. The light from the bamboo slip in the void of his mind suddenly shrunk and completely condensed into the bamboo slip.
The bamboo slip became as warm as jade and slowly opened up.
Suddenly, a stream of light shot out of the bamboo slip and onto the Omniscient Mirror.
The Omniscient Mirror suddenly lit up and returned to normal. Chu Li had already obtained a part of the incantation and learned it in an instant as if he had been cultivating it for a long time. A strange feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.
This feeling grew stronger and stronger until it was completely mastered by Chu Li.
His eyes lit up and a black crack suddenly appeared in the void. It was a pitch-black zigzag shape and a crisp "crack" was heard. It sounded like the sound of silk being torn.
Xiao Qi opened her eyes and carefully felt the black crack just now. She whispered, "Have you cultivated it?"
Chu Li slowly nodded. "What a great Swordless Scripture!"
"It's a very strange power," Chu Li said.
Chu Li said, "The Swordless Scripture is the Sword of Nothingness and also the Sword of the Void. … It directly uses the power of the void. It's impossible to guard against it."
He squinted his eyes and the black crack suddenly appeared on a tree.
"Crack" was heard and half of the tree disappeared into the black crack as if it had never been there. There was no trace of the tree at all. There were no branches, leaves, debris, or powder.
Xiao Qi also noticed the abnormality. "It's like the Void Shift?"
Chu Li said, "More or less. The Sword of Nothingness … Let's go and see those guys."
He was tempted to test the Swordless Sutra on a human.
Xiao Qi smiled.
Although she could abandon her obsession, she was still happy to be able to take it back.
The next moment, the two of them appeared in the vast sea.
