Xiao Qi rolled her eyes at him but did not refute.
Chu Li had two lives and two souls. Even if one of them died, it would not harm his body. He just needed to find another Soul Lotus.
It was not easy to find a Soul Lotus. When Great Supreme Peak was around, she could look for it through the sect. Now that she was alone, she could not find it anywhere.
However, it was fine as long as her body was still in the lower realm. At most, she would not come here in advance and would ascend later.
As the two talked, they glided to the Sutra Library. The Sutra Library was safe and undamaged, so Chu Li did not set up any formations.
He realized that his formations were too weak on First Heaven. It was obvious that the levels of formations in the lower realm were too low and could not compare to the ones on First Heaven.
There were no books on formations in the Sutra Library of the two sects. Perhaps because they knew that their disciples would not understand, they did not collect them.
The disciples of the two sects did not know how to set up formations, but they knew how to break them. The power of the Formation Breaking Talisman was amazing, but Chu Li did not have time to study formations. He had to first think about how to deal with the old man from the Supreme Temple and Auspicious Sect.
Xiao Qi said, "Why don't we go to the Supreme Temple directly?"
Chu Li looked at her in shock.
Xiao Qi said, "The old man from Auspicious Sect will definitely report to the Supreme Temple and let them deal with you. Based on the Supreme Temple's temperament, they'll definitely come to you and ask you to hand over your martial arts. Instead of letting them come to you, it's better to show their sincerity."
Chu Li could not help but laugh. "It's not a good idea to obediently come to me with a guilty conscience. Besides, I've been wanting to experience the Supreme Temple's antique study and see how powerful their heart technique is."
"Do you really want to fight the Supreme Temple?" Xiao Qi frowned. "You're asking for trouble."
Chu Li said, "To deal with Auspicious Sect, I can't just rely on the martial arts of the Supreme Peak. I need a higher-level heart technique. I want to broaden my horizons. It might be beneficial to the Heavenly Spirit Scripture."
"… Fine, up to you." Xiao Qi shook her head helplessly. "I hope they won't take it too seriously."
Chu Li smiled. "My fate is in my own hands. How can I let others dictate it?"
He knew that Xiao Qi's method was more rational, but he would not allow himself to lower his head. If he admitted defeat before the fight started, it would be a waste of his hard work.
As the two of them were talking, a Buddhist chant suddenly rang out.
A skinny old monk dressed in a monk's robe slowly walked out of the void and stopped in front of the two. He put his palms together and bowed, "I'm Tian Yue. Greetings, benefactors."
His bald head was shiny, and there were nine ring scars on it. The robe he wore was made of coarse cloth and looked extremely old, as if it had been worn for many years. However, it was clean and tidy, and when he wore it, he exuded a faint fresh aura.
His appearance was thin and thin, and his eyes were deep like cold stars. He seemed old, but his temperament revealed a sense of youth. He stood there with his palms pressed together, and he had the bearing of a pine tree on a cliff, causing others to not dare underestimate him.
When Chu Li used the Omniscient Mirror to observe him, he noticed that his entire body was shrouded in a layer of faint white light, which prevented the Omniscient Mirror from prying. Chu Li could not see the void clearly, but based on his aura alone, he was like a towering mountain that could not be shaken.
This was the firmness of one's state of mind. It was easy to shake a mountain, but hard to shake a heart.
"I'm Xiao Qi." Xiao Qi pressed her palms together and smiled. "Master Tian Yue, you've graced us with your presence. What can I do for you?"
"I heard that Almsgiver Chu possesses the antique study of our temple, so I've come to meet you." Monk Tian Yue went straight to the point and smiled calmly. "As expected, Almsgiver Chu possesses the heart technique of the Supreme Titanium Scripture."
Chu Li frowned. "Master Tian Yue, as far as I know, your temple doesn't have the Dual Cultivation Technique, right?"
"No." Monk Tian Yue shook his head. "Our temple's commandment is number one, we don't talk about the Dual Cultivation Technique."
Chu Li said, "However, the Supreme Titanium Scripture that I'm cultivating is the Dual Cultivation Technique."
Monk Tian Yue smiled. "Then, Almsgiver Chu, take this!"
As he spoke, he struck with his palm.
His skinny right hand was as slender as a woman's. When he struck, it was as white as jade, but halfway through, it had turned into a dark gold color, as if it was made of purple gold. There was no threatening golden light, but it revealed the vicissitudes of life and sturdiness.
Chu Li's right palm met with the same purple gold palm.
"Dang …" It was like the ringing of a bronze bell. After the two palm energies collided, the sound that came out did not sound like a palm made of flesh.
Monk Tian Yue stood where he was calmly. Chu Li took three steps back. His face was covered in a golden color, but it faded and returned to normal.
"Master, your Supreme Titanium Palm is so pure!" Chu Li praised.
It was the same Supreme Titanium Palm, but Monk Tian Yue's was purer. It was mellow and soft, but it was unusually sturdy. Chu Li's sturdiness was not as good as his opponent's, so the mellow and soft palm energy invaded his internal organs. He felt uncomfortable all over. The Supreme Titanium Scripture circulated a few times and managed to suppress it.
This palm was enough to show the difference in their cultivation levels.
Chu Li's inner energy was not inferior to Monk Tian Yue's, but it was not as pure. It was like a stone colliding with a piece of wood.
Monk Tian Yue frowned and stared at Chu Li.
Chu Li said, "Master, what can I do for you?"
He could feel that compared to the cultivation of inner energy, Monk Tian Yue's spiritual cultivation was more powerful. It was pure and flawless. If he used the Swordless Scripture, he might not be able to win.
This First Heaven was really full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. He could not underestimate them. With his current cultivation level, he could not run wild. He needed to improve.
"Almsgiver Chu, it looks like the Supreme Titanium Palm, but it's not. … It seems to have a Yin and Yang coexisting aura, "Monk Tian Yue said thoughtfully.
Chu Li said, "I received this inheritance in a cave. It was cultivated by a man and a woman together. I didn't expect the Supreme Titanium Scripture to not be cultivated by two people."
He was more curious about the Supreme Titanium Scripture. It was originally familiar, but now it seemed to be covered by a white veil. It was a hazy feeling of unfamiliarity, which made him even more curious.
"Which cave?" Monk Tian Yue asked.
Chu Li said, "The lower realm separated by two layers of heaven."
"Almsgiver Chu, you really are someone who ascended. Didn't you learn the Supreme Titanium Scripture when you ascended?" Monk Tian Yue nodded slowly.
Chu Li smiled. "That's only possible if there's a chance."
Monk Tian Yue nodded slowly.
In fact, he did not believe that the antique study of the Supreme Temple was taught to outsiders. He felt that the disciples of the Supreme Temple were strict. No one dared to break the rules and cripple their cultivation level. However, Chu Li was proficient in the Supreme Titanium Palm. Naturally, he had to find out.
Now, Chu Li's Supreme Titanium Palm looked different. It was strange. He said calmly, "If that's the case, Almsgiver Chu, as long as you cripple this study, the Supreme Temple will not pursue the matter of secretly learning it."
Chu Li smiled. "This Supreme Titanium Scripture is different from the one in your temple, right?"
"It's not the same." Monk Tian Yue nodded.
Chu Li said, "I obtained the Supreme Titanium Scripture by chance in the lower realm. I inherited the legacy of the two seniors and cultivated it. I didn't learn it secretly. Since I didn't learn it secretly, how can I cripple my martial arts?"
Monk Tian Yue shook his head. "The Supreme Titanium Scripture cannot be leaked. Almsgiver Chu's Supreme Titanium Scripture is strange. It's an evil scripture. You can't cultivate it. You must cripple it."
Chu Li shook his head slowly. He looked determined.
