Xiao Qi could not be bothered to think about the Swordless Scripture being restrained anymore. She quickly glided to the bookshelves and quickly flipped through the books. It took her more than an hour to finish flipping through the books on the four bookshelves.
She took off the veil on her face and revealed a charming smile that lit up the basilica. She was so beautiful that one could not look at her directly.
Chu Li looked at her smile and felt happy. He grinned and asked, "How is it?"
"Other than the original books, there are also some rare books from the Auspicious Sect." Xiao Qi smiled. "They're all rare secret manuals and notes. They're very precious!"
She pursed her lips and smiled. "They must be heartbroken … Is there more?"
"Everything that was in the corner of the third floor is here." Chu Li smiled. "The rest aren't that important."
Xiao Qi exclaimed, "You've taken away all their old secrets! Not only are there martial arts secret manuals, but there are also some strange stories that haven't been circulated. "
Chu Li said, "That's great, I need these to understand this world."
"This world …" Xiao Qi looked solemn and sighed. "It's much bigger than the Outland and the Lower Realm. It's also much more complicated and dangerous. Although our martial arts are strong, we're not invincible."
Chu Li said, "There's no such thing as invincible martial arts. I understand."
Xiao Qi shook her head. "The Tai Shang Peak is considered a first-rate sect, and the Auspicious Sect is also at this level. However, they're not the top forces, they're just affiliated forces."
Chu Li asked, "What's the reason for the chaos in the Northern Territory?"
"No one knows for sure." Xiao Qi frowned. "In short, there's a lot of enmity. Incidents like the destruction of sects often happen. Since the blood feud can't be resolved, it has to be fought generation by generation."
Chu Li sighed. "Is there no stronger force that unified the Northern Territory?"
"No." Xiao Qi shook her head. "The Auspicious Sect and the Joyous Sect are Buddhism, whereas the Tai Shang Peak is Taoism. The Buddhist Sect has the Great Mercy Temple while the Taoism Sect has the Thunder Heaven Peak. They're high above, not connected to the mortal world, and they don't care about the sects below them."
Chu Li scoffed. "If that's the case, it's the result of their indulgence."
The Great Mercy Temple and the Thunder Cloud Peak were two super sects, but they did not care about the grudges between their subordinates. If they really had a grudge against each other, how could they not restrict each other to reduce the friction and killing?
Xiao Qi said, "Although Tai Shang Peak is a branch of Taoism, it was founded by an abandoned disciple of Thunder Heaven Peak, so it doesn't have much contact with Thunder Heaven Peak."
Chu Li sighed. "Looks like Auspicious Sect has a reason for daring to destroy Tai Shang Peak."
"What they displayed earlier should be the Divine Light of Silence." Xiao Qi muttered, "Rumor has it that the Auspicious Faction's Nirvana Scripture is the only technique inherited from the Great Mercy Temple. All of the Auspicious Faction's martial arts came from this scripture, and the Nirvana Divine Light is a divine power that can only be performed when the Nirvana Scripture has been cultivated to a certain level. I can't believe that someone from the Auspicious Faction has actually cultivated it to this stage. They're truly a Buddha!"
Chu Li said, "The Divine Light of Silence …"
He suddenly felt that the name sounded familiar, so he immediately remembered it and smiled. "What does this have to do with the Divine Light of Silence?"
"The Divine Light of Silence is actually the Divine Light of Silence," Xiao Qi said. "It's a divine power of the Nirvana Scripture, but it's different from the Nirvana Scripture. The Nirvana Scripture should be the Sacrificial Temple's most precious scripture, and it might have been passed down to the Outland. It's said that after the eminent monks of the Sacrificial Temple cultivated the Divine Light of Silence, their sariras would contain the Divine Light of Silence even after they passed away. It's incredibly powerful."
"Divine power …" Chu Li shook his head and smiled bitterly.
There were countless Buddhist divine powers, but it was extremely difficult to cultivate them. For example, a sect like the Titanium Temple only had a few divine powers. The Ten Lifetimes of Dharma Enlightenment was an earth-shattering mystical technique, so Chu Li did not expect it to be so easy to cultivate divine powers on First Heaven.
Xiao Qi said, "Don't think that Buddhist divine powers are easy to cultivate, but it's actually far more difficult than you think. The Swordless Scripture is also a type of divine power, but it's just a Taoist divine power."
Chu Li sighed. "If that's the case, Auspicious Sect can restrain the Swordless Scripture."
Xiao Qi nodded. "We've been too naive. We thought that we can defeat Auspicious Sect just because we've cultivated the Swordless Scripture!"
She pursed her red lips and furrowed her brows.
Chu Li said, "Then we can only cultivate the Swordless Scripture to a higher level and see if we can overcome them. … We still have to consume the Auspicious Flower and cultivate the Spirit Cultivation Art."
Although Tai Shang Peak had the Swordless Scripture, they did not have the Auspicious Flower to enhance one's spiritual force, nor did they have a mystical technique like the Spirit Cultivation Art to enhance one's soul. Therefore, it was very difficult to cultivate the Swordless Scripture unless one was gifted.
Even someone as powerful as Chu Li had a difficult time passing the test of the bamboo slip, let alone others.
He guessed that Tai Shang Peak did not understand why they could not cultivate the Swordless Scripture and only thought that it was because their natural endowments were not compatible. If they could really find the reason, they would be able to find a special technique that could enhance one's spiritual force.
"Mm." Xiao Qi nodded.
She only had this trump card at the moment. If she could not suppress Auspicious Sect, it would all be for naught and she might be killed by Auspicious Sect.
"What about you?" Xiao Qi asked softly.
She knew Chu Li's situation. His soul was too strong for his body to withstand, so he had to limit the strengthening of his soul. Otherwise, once he left this place, he might die in the Outland.
Chu Li thought about it. "No problem."
Xiao Qi tilted her head and looked at him.
Chu Li smiled. "I have an idea. Let's see if it can be realized."
Xiao Qi asked, "Is there a way to restrain a soul that's too strong?"
"I'll give it a try," Chu Li said.
Xiao Qi knew at a glance that he was taking a risk. "Be careful."
Chu Li smiled.
He sat on the bed while Xiao Qi sat nearby. The two of them were in the ravine that belonged to Yan Yuanchu, the sect leader of Auspicious Sect. It was a secret place that no one knew about and even the Heavenly Divination could not find it.
There was a small tower carved out of white jade in front of Chu Li. It was only the size of a palm, and it was exquisite. The tower was covered with densely packed runes. It was strange and mysterious, and it was emitting a faint white light, as if there was a light shining on it.
Xiao Qi stared at Chu Li and carefully sensed his aura. She felt that his aura was getting weaker. It was different from Void Diversion. His body and aura were still there, but they were much dimmer. More importantly, she felt Chu Li's aura from the white jade tower as if it was another Chu Li.
Chu Li slowly opened his eyes. The white jade tower was still emitting a faint white light.
Xiao Qi was surprised. "What is this?"
"Soul Splitting Skill," Chu Li said.
Xiao Qi frowned. "The Soul Splitting Skill from Auspicious Sect's secret skill?"
Chu Li nodded slowly. "Although it's incomplete, it makes sense."
"You …" Xiao Qi glared at him in dissatisfaction but could not do anything.
This was an incomplete and incomplete book. Moreover, it involved the soul technique, so no one dared to take the risk. More importantly, this Soul Splitting Skill did not have much power. It was a heart technique included in the Cloning Skill.
The Cloning Skill was only a legendary skill. No one had ever heard of anyone successfully cultivating it.
Chu Li smiled. "I didn't cultivate it. It's just enough. I don't expect it to be like the Soul Splitting Skill."
"Sigh …" Xiao Qi shook her head. "You should be fine if you go down now, right?"
"I'll give it a try." Chu Li smiled. "I'll come back after a while. Focus on the Spirit Cultivation Technique. When I come back, I'll settle the score with Auspicious Sect."
Xiao Qi nodded.
Chu Li closed his eyes. Then, he restrained his aura and lowered his head.
The white jade tower flashed slightly.
