"Sigh … Let's use the Traction Skill." Chu Li shook his head helplessly. "It doesn't solve the root of the problem. The key is still to learn more profound martial arts. The martial arts of Taishang Peak won't work."
He felt that not only was the Taishang Sword Scripture not working, but the Sword of Insensibility was also ordinary. Its power was not strong enough. Without the support of Heavenly Spirit Scripture, no matter how powerful it was, it would be like rain hitting a rock. It would not be of much use.
This was because although his skill was profound, it was not pure enough. This was the reason for the heart technique. He had comprehended the Sword of Insensibility but could not reach a deeper level. He needed the later heart technique, but he had cultivated it to the end.
Although the Taishang Sword Scripture was wonderful, it was not pure enough and its power was not enough. That was why the sect was destroyed. At the end of the day, it was because the heart technique was not strong enough that it ended up like this.
He was already somewhat disdainful of such a level of mental cultivation method.
Now, the only things that he was interested in were the Swordless Scripture and Heavenly Spirit Scripture.
However, the Heavenly Spirit Scripture was out of his reach. He had been improving, but it was difficult to achieve a qualitative change. He could not count on it to go further in a short period of time. Although the Swordless Scripture was powerful, it consumed spiritual power and required a strong soul.
Without the Auspicious Flower, it was not easy to find rare items that could strengthen one's soul. Otherwise, Auspicious Sect would not have taken the risk to destroy Taishang Peak. There were not many rare flowers and fruits on First Heaven, which was beyond his imagination.
Logically, a place with such abundant spiritual energy should have more rare flowers and herbs, but it was the opposite. There were fewer rare flowers and fruits in this world than in the lower realm, and it was far less than the arcane realm.
Xiao Qi had cultivated the Swordless Scripture, but her soul and spirit were not strong enough, so her hands and feet were tied. Especially against the Divine Light of Silence, the Traction Skill could not divert spiritual power.
Therefore, it was said to be treating the symptoms but not the root of the problem. Pure and profound cultivation could only provide a little bit of protection. It was impossible to be invincible and independent. More profound martial arts were needed.
Xiao Qi said, "Then use the Traction Skill. It's good to treat the symptoms."
Chu Li nodded. "You go first."
He first placed these bookshelves and books in the Sutra Library on Taishang Peak. Then, he set up a formation that was even more powerful. He did not believe that he could not stop these people. Then, he hugged Xiao Qi and disappeared from Taishang Peak.
The next moment, they appeared in the ravine. The two of them performed the Diversion Skill by the pool. Xiao Qi performed it first and transferred all of her cultivation level to Chu Li. Chu Li performed it again and transferred all of his cultivation level to Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi's martial arts were instantly restored. The combination of two people's cultivation levels was already astonishing, and the depth of their skills was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Due to the infinite potential of the Soul Lotus, she could bear all of it without any hindrance.
After Chu Li had his cultivation crippled, he used the Life and Death Scripture to quickly recover.
The Life and Death Scripture's recovery process was extremely slow when the Soul Lotus was injured, but recovering one's cultivation was extremely easy.
"Now, we're not afraid anymore, right?" Xiao Qi urged her inner energy. She could feel the Regal Supreme Divine Sword above her head becoming purer and more powerful.
Chu Li shook his head. "Yes, it's deep, but it's not pure enough. Either it's hard work, or there's a more powerful heart technique. We're just fat now."
"It's not that bad." Xiao Qi pursed her lips and smiled. "Let's go to the Sutra Library first."
Chu Li nodded.
The two of them flashed and appeared at Regal Peak.
When Xiao Qi realized that the Sutra Library was still there and the books were not taken away, she sighed in relief and smiled. "This time, they're tactful and didn't come to rob us again."
Chu Li hugged her slender waist tightly and said softly, "You go first."
As soon as he said that, he pushed Xiao Qi away.
Xiao Qi could not control herself and disappeared in a flash.
Chu Li used the Heavenly Demonic Aerial Manipulation Skill and directly moved Xiao Qi back to the ravine, but he did not move. This was also because his soul was strong and the Heavenly Demonic Scripture had been refined, which was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
In a flash, Xiao Qi appeared beside the pool with a solemn expression. She had the urge to go back immediately, but she forcibly suppressed this urge. She knew what Chu Li was thinking, and if she went back now, it would only distract him.
Moreover, Chu Li had two souls. Even if he encountered danger or died, he could be resurrected with the Life and Death Scripture, and his soul would still be there.
She understood Chu Li's painstaking effort, so she forcibly suppressed her urge to fight side by side with him. Slowly, she sat beside the pool, hugged her knees, and rested her head on her knees as she quietly looked at the clear pool.
She hated this feeling. She could only be a burden to Chu Li and could not help him. It was precisely because she hated this feeling that she had been silently working hard to cultivate, so she could accumulate enough strength and quickly ascend.
She never thought that after ascending to this First Heaven, she would still need Chu Li's help, and she could not do without his protection.
She wanted to become stronger so that she could fight side by side with Chu Li, and not in this situation.
Her bright eyes flickered, and they became brighter and brighter.
Chu Li stood in front of the Sutra Library and looked at the hunchbacked old man sitting on the threshold of the Sutra Library. He gave a fist salute. "Welcome, Senior, please forgive me for not going out to meet you!"
The hunchbacked old man's eyebrows were like silver threads, shining under the sunlight, and his face was covered with deep wrinkles. No one would have thought that he was a disciple of the Auspicious Sect, as his style was completely different from the disciples of the Auspicious Sect.
The disciples of the Auspicious Sect were elegant and gentle. The men were handsome, and the women were beautiful. Even if they were old, they would only become handsome middle-aged, and not old like him.
The hunchbacked old man slowly stood up, patted his buttocks, and sighed. "I didn't want to come, but unfortunately, the disciples didn't live up to my expectations, so I had to personally come and take the things back."
Chu Li stretched out his hand. "Since Senior has already broken the formation, you can take whatever you want, no one will stop you."
"In that case, you can take back your life?" The hunchbacked old man said slowly.
His eyes were cloudy, and his gaze was slightly yellow, as if he was having trouble seeing things. Chu Li felt a chill run down his spine when he looked at him, but his expression was nonchalant. "I'll keep my life for myself, the rest is up to you, Senior."
The hunchbacked old man shook his head and sighed. "What I want is your life, as for these books, it's just a matter of convenience … That little girl just now is the fish that escaped the net from Tai Shang Peak, right?"
Chu Li nodded calmly.
The hunchbacked old man said, "She won't be able to escape either. Leaving a little girl like her alive will only be a scourge, and it's better to get rid of her as soon as possible."
Chu Li smiled. "Looks like Senior has us in his grasp."
"I'm already so old, and I'm already half a foot in the grave. If I can't even take down the two of you, how can I face my ancestors?" The hunchbacked old man shook his head and sighed. "Don't struggle in vain, life and death, life and death, it's just the cycle of reincarnation!"
As he spoke, he lightly struck Chu Li with his palm.
Chu Li only felt that his palm suddenly became bigger and bigger, covering the sky, and there was nowhere for him to escape.
Chu Li struck with his palm, and a golden light burst forth.
The Glory's Spirit Scripture activated the Supreme Vajra Palm, and his right palm suddenly shone with a golden light, as if a golden sun had leaped out.
"Boom!" Amidst the muffled sound of thunder, Chu Li was sent flying, and he spat out a mouthful of blood in the air.
"Huh, from the Supreme Temple?" The hunchbacked old man was surprised, and retracted his palm that was about to strike.
