Fa Yuan shook his head.
Chu Li looked at him deeply. "Say it, you can't hide it from me."
Fa Yuan sighed. "Brother Chu, I don't have any conditions."
"A monk doesn't lie." Chu Li scoffed. "Monk, you want to break the precepts?"
Fa Yuan said, "The Abbot wants His Majesty to give way and let me become a god first!"
"No problem!" Chu Li nodded. "Second Sister won't become a god. She has to cultivate to become one."
"… Really?" Fa Yuan was shocked.
Chu Li said, "You'll know once you think about it. Compared to becoming a god, cultivating to become one is more wonderful."
"That's it." Fa Yuan smiled.
Chu Li smiled and reached out to take the Dipankara Sarira. When he opened it, he saw that it was a gray stone about the size of a fingernail. He could not tell what was so special about it, but it attracted his attention.
"Chant the Infinite Life Scripture and it will naturally fall into your Dantian," Fa Yuan said.
Chu Li muttered the Infinite Life Scripture.
The gray stone in the small box suddenly flashed and disappeared in the next moment.
Chu Li felt a light in his chest and an object appeared. It was round like a luminous pearl and emitted a gentle light. Just as it was about to spin and absorb his lifespan, a lotus suddenly fell in the void of his mind.
This transparent lotus seemed real and illusory. It fell from his mind to his Central Dantian and floated to the Dipankara Sarira.
The light flashed and then disappeared.
It seemed to have disappeared but Chu Li could feel its existence. It was just that there was no light and no trace of it. It merged with the lotus formed by the Palm Leaf Scripture and turned into an illusion.
Chu Li frowned and chanted the Infinite Life Scripture again.
The Sarira in his chest suddenly shone and rotated to absorb his lifespan. It then turned into a force and entered his mind. He suddenly felt a sense of familiarity and understanding of many Buddhist doctrines.
He stopped chanting the Infinite Life Scripture and started chanting the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture.
As he chanted the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, the Dipankara Sarira was still rotating and emitting light. The force entered his mind and he had an inexplicable understanding of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. He felt that it was perfect but now he realized that it was not enough.
Next was Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture. His understanding of Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture deepened. Next was the Great Light Scripture and the Heavenly Demon Scripture. Unfortunately, it did not work on the Heavenly Demon Scripture.
Under the enhancement of the various scriptures, the Buddhas in his mind also became more vivid.
Chu Li opened his eyes and smiled.
Fa Yuan looked at him in confusion. "Brother Chu, are you going to practice Buddhism?"
Chu Li nodded. "I'm originally from a Buddhist family. With the Dipankara Sarira, my understanding of Buddhism has deepened, and I've gained endless benefits."
Fa Yuan nodded in understanding. "The deeper one's understanding of Buddhism, the easier it is to practice martial arts. Wisdom is interlinked."
Xiao Shi frowned as she stared at Chu Li.
Fa Yuan said, "Then I shall take my leave. I shall stay in Fairy's Capital from tomorrow onwards."
Chu Li smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you with Second Sister's safety."
Fa Yuan bowed with pressed palms and floated away.
Xiao Shi asked, "Why are you suddenly interested in Buddhism? Don't tell me you're thinking of becoming a monk?"
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "I'm leaving too. I'll be back in a few days."
"Hmph, a few days." Siao Shi pouted.
The few days that Chu Li was talking about could be a few months.
Chu Li smiled. "It's more convenient to go back and forth now. My God's Limbs are more powerful now, so I don't have to use the Divine Gate all the time."
As he spoke, he disappeared in a flash.
He returned to the Great Light Surpassing State and saw that the disciples were working hard on their cultivation. The original gloominess disappeared and they regained their high spirits.
With the Ageless Longevity Technique, they were not afraid of broken limbs. They could recover to their original state, so they no longer had any fear in their hearts.
In the Great Light Surpassing State, the dead could be resurrected, and the disabled could be recovered. What was there to be afraid of? If the enemy came, they could just fight with their lives. Under the situation where they were not afraid of death, they could win no matter how strong the opponent was.
Sun Mingyue was nowhere to be seen.
He focused his ears and immediately heard Sun Mingyue's voice.
"Yurong, do you know anything about the Heavenly Demonic Realm?" Sun Mingyue's voice was cold and mellow, but it was even more tenacious and unquestionable. This was the tone that she had cultivated as a Bishop.
Yurong's voice sounded, "Four top-notch masters. This must be the work of a Concealed Realm master. With your current cultivation level, a normal Concealed Realm master would not be able to do it."
"Then which sect is it?" Sun Mingyue scoffed.
Yurong said, "Do you want to break into the Heavenly Demonic Realm and kill the four Concealed Realm masters?"
"Yes." Sun Mingyue said.
"Then you underestimate the Concealed Realm masters," Yurong said. "The so-called Arcane Realm is something that outsiders cannot peek into. If they enter the Arcane Realm, you will not be able to find them."
He could see their situation from the way they were talking. The two women were standing in front of two Deity King statues, each staring at a Deity King statue as they talked. This was the mystery of the Divine Ear.
"I still have you," Sun Mingyue said.
Yurong said, "I am only the Asura Goddess, not the Heavenly Demon of the Heavenly Demonic Realm … According to what I know, two more Arcane Realms have appeared, the Phaseless Sect and the Peerless Sect. The four masters are most likely the two strongest Concealed Realm masters of the two sects."
"The Phaseless Sect and the Peerless Sect …" Sun Mingyue scoffed, "Why would they go against me?"
"They must be colluding with the Grandmaster Realm," Yurong said, "The biggest possibility is the Thunder Pool. It seems that Song Wuji is colluding with the Heavenly Demonic Realm."
Chu Li had a clone in the Heavenly Demonic Realm and Song Wuji did the same.
Although the two were enemies, their way of doing things and background were similar. Chu Li's rise was faster than Song Wuji's and he stole Song Wuji's limelight. The Thunder Pool must hate Chu Li and feel injustice for Song Wuji.
Other than the Thunder Pool, there was no other sect that hated Sun Mingyue so much.
"The Thunder Pool!" Sun Mingyue scoffed, "I will destroy them sooner or later!"
Yurong chuckled.
Sun Mingyue scoffed, "What, you don't believe me?"
"Let's wait until Chu Li defeats Song Wuji first," Yurong said.
Sun Mingyue said, "Defeating Song Wuji won't be a problem. Chu Li had a fortuitous encounter on the Upper Heaven, so his cultivation level has become purer and more profound. On the other hand, Song Wuji might not be able to defeat Chu Li in Isolated Cultivation."
"That's true," Yurong said, "Then let's see when Song Wuji comes out."
Chu Li heard this and smiled. He no longer cared about how Sun Mingyue would take revenge. He summoned Ji Ming Fei and told her that he would continue his isolated cultivation and not to be disturbed.
Early in the morning, when Chu Li returned to the Sky Heart Courtyard after his morning classes, he saw Monk Hui Guang.
Monk Hui Guang's robe fluttered as he stood quietly under the courtyard wall with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the clouds in the sky, motionless like a tree.
Chu Li went forward and pressed his palms together, "Master."
"Chu Li, a year has passed. Are you ready?" Monk Hui Guang turned around and asked gently, "Master."
"Yes," Chu Li nodded slowly.
Monk Hui Guang smiled, "You will officially tonsure tomorrow and formally observe the precepts."
"Yes," Chu Li nodded without hesitation.
"Have you thought it through?" Monk Hui Guang said slowly, "Once you become a monk, you must cut yourself off from the mortal world and abandon your worldly ties. A loving couple will become strangers and from then on, you will no longer have anything to do with each other."
Chu Li sighed, "I have thought it through."
Monk Hui Guang said, "Once you become a monk, if you break the precepts again, the temple's rules are strict and there will be no mercy!"
Chu Li said, "Thank you, Master."
"I know what you're thinking," Monk Hui Guang said, "Focus on cultivating for a hundred years and then continue the relationship after a hundred years!"
