Chu Li felt that his internal organs were dislocated and the pain was like being cut by a knife. As spiritual energy surged to repair them, he took out a bottle of Blood Scarlet Powder and consumed it. His injuries recovered quickly and he looked calmer, but he was even more afraid.
This old man had a profound cultivation level, and more importantly, his palm energy was as hard as iron.
Chu Li's Heavenly Spirit Scripture was already as pure as lead and mercury. Coupled with the Supreme Vajra Palm, the palm energy was even purer and stronger, but it was still inferior to the old man's palm energy.
It seemed that he could not compete with inner energy and the Swordless Scripture was useless. This was his intuition. Otherwise, he would have used the Swordless Scripture earlier instead of painstakingly using the Supreme Vajra Palm.
He sighed to himself. He was at the end of the line, and the only way was to escape.
The hunchbacked elder raised his silvery-white eyebrows and sized Chu Li up. He scoffed. "Are you a disciple of the Supreme Temple?"
Chu Li shook his head.
"Nonsense!" The hunchbacked elder yelled. His cloudy eyes suddenly flashed as he said coldly, "If you're not a disciple of the Supreme Temple, how do you know the Supreme Temple's martial arts?"
As far as he knew, the Supreme Temple's martial arts were not taught to outsiders.
Chu Li shook his head without saying a word.
The hunchbacked elder scoffed. "You don't dare to admit it. Looks like you're a disciple who was expelled from the temple!"
Chu Li's mind worked quickly. He knew about the existence of the Supreme Temple from the Sutra Library. It was a major Buddhist sect, different from sects like Auspicious Sect. It was an existence of a higher level.
However, he did not expect his Supreme Supreme Vajra Scripture to be the Supreme Temple's martial arts. Although he knew it was an antique study from the upper level when he first cultivated it, he thought it was an antique study from one of the temples in the Boundless Realm and did not bother to look for it.
However, there was a Supreme Vajra in the void of his mind that could communicate with Sun Mingyue's mind, so he did not give up on cultivating it. However, he only cultivated when they were together and did not pay attention to it during normal times.
He did not expect the Supreme Supreme Vajra Scripture to be the antique study of the Supreme Temple. He had really gotten himself into big trouble.
The Supreme Temple was a level higher than Auspicious Sect's Taishang Peak, but they were not famous for their martial arts but for their discipline. They were known as the Supreme Temple not because of their martial arts, but because their discipline was first and no one could surpass them.
If such a strict sect knew that martial arts were to be spread outside, the consequences could be imagined.
"Hehe …" The hunchbacked old man suddenly shook his head and laughed. "Looks like I can't do it anymore."
Chu Li muttered, "It seems like you're afraid of the Supreme Temple."
"Of course." The hunchbacked old man nodded slowly. "Even if I don't care about the monk, I will care about the Buddha. The Buddha of the Supreme Temple is big enough. I can't afford to offend them, so I will take my leave!"
As he finished, he took a step forward and disappeared. The Sutra Pavilion behind him did not move either.
Chu Li frowned and stood on the spot, deep in thought.
The hunchbacked old man was afraid of the Supreme Temple, so even though his martial arts were strange, he still retreated and did not kill him. However, he knew that if he left, there would be an even bigger problem.
He appeared next to Xiao Qi in a flash.
Siao Qi was sitting by the pool, hugging her knees. She sensed his return but did not turn around.
Chu Li sat next to her and put his arm around her shoulders. He sighed and said, "This time, it was a close shave. This old man's cultivation level is too shocking. It's better to avoid him."
Xiao Qi shook her head and turned to look at him. "I thought I would never see you again."
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "I performed the Supreme Vajra Palm, but he immediately stopped and retreated when he saw it."
Xiao Qi said, "It can't be because of the Supreme Vajra Palm, right? Is there a problem with the Supreme Vajra Palm's origin? "
Chu Li slowly answered, "The Supreme Temple."
"It can't be, right?" Xiao Qi was shocked. "The Supreme Temple's antique study?"
Chu Li sighed. "The Supreme Temple is not to be trifled with."
Xiao Qi's face tensed up, but she slowly nodded.
She knew that the Supreme Temple was not to be trifled with. Precepts were the most important thing. If one violated the precepts, there would be no mercy. They would definitely pursue the matter of the martial arts being spread outside.
"Forget it, at most, my martial arts will be crippled." Chu Li smiled. "I'm least afraid of crippling my martial arts."
"That's true." A smile appeared on Xiao Qi's face.
Life and death could be reversed, let alone martial arts. When Xiao Qi thought about this, she no longer felt heavy. She smiled and said, "The Supreme Temple's precepts are strict, but they're reasonable. You accidentally learned this, and you didn't steal it from the Supreme Temple. At most, your martial arts will be crippled, but your life won't be in danger."
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "That's not a bad thing. At least that old fella was scared off. He won't dare to mess around for now. Let's return to Great Supreme Peak."
Xiao Qi said, "I want to cultivate in isolation here."
Chu Li raised an eyebrow.
Xiao Qi sighed. "I want to cultivate another martial art."
Chu Li frowned. "You've already cultivated the Swordless Scripture. What other top-notch martial arts does Great Supreme Peak have?"
"There's more." Xiao Qi nodded.
Chu Li tilted his head to look at her.
Xiao Qi said, "There really is."
Chu Li smiled. "Don't mess around. If there's a more powerful heart technique, Great Supreme Peak wouldn't have fallen to this state. What's going on?"
Xiao Qi pondered for a while and decided not to hide it from him. She said softly, "There's an ancient technique that I want to cultivate."
"You're not confident, right?" Chu Li scoffed.
Xiao Qi slowly shook her head. "At this point, what other choice do I have?"
Chu Li said, "Then why don't you cultivate the Heavenly Spirit Scripture with me? I can only ascend after I've cultivated the Heavenly Spirit Scripture. If you cultivate it with me, you might gain something else."
"Heavenly Spirit Scripture …" Xiao Qi nodded.
She knew from Chu Li's expression that he would not agree to let her take the risk, so she did not force him. Moreover, the Heavenly Spirit Scripture was indeed a way out.
The purity of the Heavenly Spirit Scripture's inner energy was indeed outstanding. It was the most powerful heart technique out of all, but she also knew that it was extremely difficult. Now that Chu Li needed to ascend, he had to cultivate it to perfection. It would be best if she could help.
Chu Li smiled.
He was most afraid that Xiao Qi would end up like how she did when she first cultivated the Regal Sword Scripture. Seeing that she listened to his advice, he was instantly delighted and told her the news he got from the Spirit Tiger.
"Spirit Beast …" Xiao Qi said softly, "I think there are Spirit Beasts in this world."
Chu Li's spirit was lifted. "Why didn't I see it in the book?"
"Spirit Beasts and humans are not connected," Xiao Qi said. "It's similar to the situation in the Lower Realm. Spirit Beasts are also in the Hundred-Thousand Hills."
Chu Li asked, "Can I go in?"
"No." Xiao Qi shook her head. "Moreover, you'll definitely die if you go in."
Chu Li frowned and pondered.
He vaguely felt that there was something mysterious. The spiritual energy in the Hundred-Thousand Hills was extremely rich, far surpassing that of the Lower Realm. It was not inferior to the Grandmaster's Boundary, which was already very strange.
What was even stranger was that there were also Hundred-Thousand Hills on the First Heaven. Could it be that the Hundred-Thousand Hills were connected to each other?
If that was the case, it would be a great mystery that contained the secrets of Heaven and Earth. It must be investigated, and it even contained the mystery of the Heavenly Spirit Scripture.
"You want to enter the Hundred-Thousand Hills?" Xiao Qi asked.
Chu Li slowly nodded.
Xiao Qi said, "This Hundred-Thousand Hills isn't like that. Don't take the risk. The Spirit Beasts have never come out, and humans have never come out either. The Hundred-Thousand Hills is said to be a place where one can only enter but not leave, so there's no record of it in the book."
"All the more reason to take a look," Chu Li said.
