Hui Guang flicked his sleeve and floated away.
Only the three brothers and Ding He were left in the courtyard. They looked at each other in dismay and were speechless.
After a while.
"Sigh, we're still lacking!" Ding Jian sighed.
Ding Shi said, "Da Shixiong, our seniority is not high enough. Even if our martial arts are good, it's useless."
"Not necessarily. Look at Third Junior Brother. Didn't he make a great contribution this time?" Ding Jian said with a smile.
Chu Li quickly said, "Eldest Senior Brother, I'm just lucky."
"Luck is also important. Otherwise, junior brother Ding and I would not have been able to return," Ding Jian said with a smile.
Regardless of how he managed to evade the pursuit or how he and his Third Junior Brother made a move, it was a matter of life and death. If his luck had been slightly worse, he would have died.
Chu Li smiled and did not refute. It was true.
Ding Shi put his palms together and bowed. "Third Junior Brother, words cannot express my gratitude!"
Chu Li quickly pressed his palms together to return the gesture. "Second Senior Brother, you don't have to be so polite!"
"That's right. If it were you, Second Junior Brother, you would have done the same!" Ding Jian said with a smile.
Ding Shi nodded lightly.
"Third Junior Brother, I'll teach you the Dragon-Elephant Wisdom Art," Ding Jian said with a smile.
"Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother," Chu Li said.
Ding Shi and Ding He left the monastery.
"After seeing my battle with Bai Zhuguang, are you disappointed in the Dragon-Elephant Wisdom Art?" Ding Jian asked.
Chu Li hesitated.
He had seen the fight between Ding Jian and Bai Zhuguang, and he had seen the power of the Dragon-Elephant Wisdom Art. However, the Dragon-Elephant Wisdom Art didn't have an overwhelming advantage, and it wasn't invincible.
Although he knew that there was no such thing as an invincible martial art and that it depended on one's cultivation, he still couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Ding Jian said, "Bai Zhuguang is not an ordinary person. He is the strongest person of Starry Cloud Island's younger generation."
Chu Li was surprised.
He did not expect Bai Zhuguang to have such a high status.
"You can't judge a book by its cover. You didn't expect this, did you?"
"I really didn't expect that." Chu Li shook his head.
"So, it's not that the Dragon-Elephant Wisdom Art isn't powerful, but that the opponent is too powerful?" Ding Jian smiled.
Chu Li asked, "Which stage is Eldest Senior Brother at?"
"Ninth layer," Ding Jian said with a smile. "It's the highest among our generation. Second Shidi is at the eighth layer."
"Did anyone reach the highest level?" Chu Li asked.
"Yes," Ding Jian said, "Grandmaster Wen Tong."
Chu Li smiled.
It was good that someone had cultivated it to the highest realm. This meant that it was a mature cultivation technique and that it was a smooth path.
Ding Jian smiled and said, "Are you relieved now?"
Chu Li smiled sheepishly.
"Come, listen carefully. I'll recite the chant first and then demonstrate it. This technique needs to be demonstrated personally. Just looking at the secret manual won't help," Ding Jian said.
Chu Li nodded.
Then, with one teaching and the other learning, they quickly learned the first two levels.
Chu Li requested to teach him two more levels, and Ding Jian readily agreed and taught him another two levels.
After Chu Li had mastered the first four stages, he could feel the profoundness of the Dragon Elephant Wisdom. It was indeed a top-notch martial art that contained the essence of martial arts.
He returned to his own monastery to cultivate, completely immersing himself in the Dragon-Elephant Wisdom Art.
When he woke up, several days had already passed.
Early in the morning, he came to Hui Guang's Zen courtyard before the morning class began.
Ding Ming was currently sweeping the courtyard quietly and carefully.
Ding Ming raised his sharp chin when he saw Chen Xi appear, and his handsome face revealed a disdainful expression before he turned around and continued cleaning as if he hadn't seen Chen Xi enter.
Chu Li frowned. He did not know when he had offended Ding Ming. Was it because he was ranked third and not Ding Ming?
Then, he shook his head.
Although they had not known each other for a long time, he had a good eye for people. He knew that Ding Ming was not someone who would be easily jealous. Instead, he was an upright person. With such an attitude, Chu Li must have done something wrong.
"Where's Master?" Chu Li coughed softly.
"Be careful!" Ding Ming quickly put his index finger in front of his lips.
Chu Li lowered his voice, "Is Master in Isolated Cultivation?"
Ding Ming scoffed, "You still know that Master is here!"
Chu Li looked at him doubtfully, "I've been cultivating and forgot about the time … What's going on with Master?"
He could already hear Monk Hui Guang's breathing. The Omniscient Mirror could not observe the situation in the house, but he could hear it. His breathing was long and had a unique rhythm. It was obvious that he was cultivating the Dragon-Elephant Wisdom Art.
However, although his breathing was long, it was weak and weak. It was obvious that he was injured.
"Injured?" He quickly asked.
Ding Ming scoffed and continued sweeping the floor.
Chu Li was about to enter the house but was blocked by Ding Ming. He said coldly, "Master is healing his injuries and channeling his energy. You can't disturb him."
Chu Li said, "I can lend Master a hand."
"You …?" Ding Ming glanced at him in disdain and shook his head, "You're boasting shamelessly. Even Eldest Senior Brother can't help him. Can you?"
Chu Li said, "Eldest Senior Brother has cultivated the Marrow Cleansing Technique?"
Ding Ming was stunned.
Chu Li knew at a glance and shook his head, "The Marrow Cleansing Technique is an excellent technique for healing injuries. I can lend Master a hand!"
"… Alright, I'll go and report." Although Ding Ming was angry that Chu Li was heartless and forgot about Master after obtaining the martial arts, he decided to suppress his disgust and report to Master when it was related to Master's injuries.
After a while, he slowly came out and scoffed, "Go in!"
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. He did not lower himself to Ding Ming's level and walked into the house. Spiritual energy filled his nose and the smell of medicine was strong. It was obviously a spirit pill.
Hui Guang was sitting on the bed with his eyes slightly closed. He didn't move an inch as he circulated his energy. Under the loose monk's robe, he looked even thinner and weaker. He didn't look like a powerful master, but more like a haggard and weak scholar.
He slowly opened his eyes. They were bright like pearls and he nodded.
Chu Li said, "Master, have you mastered the Marrow Cleansing Technique?"
"Yes," Hui Guang said softly.
His voice was weak like a candle in the wind.
Chu Li quickly sat behind him and crossed his legs. He placed his palms on top of him and channeled the Marrow Cleansing Technique. A strange force was continuously injected into his body.
When both palms touched, the Omniscient Mirror could see through Hui Guang's body.
His five viscera and six bowels were badly damaged. If it wasn't for the pure aura that kept him alive and the miraculous elixirs taking effect, he would have already died. With such heavy injuries, there was almost no chance of survival.
"Master …" Chu Li frowned.
Although they had only known each other for a short time, Hui Guang made him feel concerned and warm. He could not bear to see Hui Guang die just like that.
After some thought, he said, "Master, I learned a dharma in the lower realm called the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture."
"Yes." Hui Guang nodded.
Chu Li said, "Once you've mastered it, you can reverse life and death."
"It's too late …" Hui Guang sighed.
Chu Li thought about it and said, "I'll use it on you, Master."
The existence of the Life and Death Scripture was one of his top secrets. He could not reveal it, but the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture could reverse life and death when it was mastered.
The Life and Death Scripture allowed him to master the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, but it was impossible for others.
"Okay," Hui Guang said.
Chu Li said, "Master, this requires you to trust me completely. Let go of your body and mind and stop channeling."
"… Okay." Hui Guang hesitated and nodded.
Chu Li frowned.
With Hui Guang's current injuries, if he stopped channeling, he would not be able to hold on for long. He would die in a few breaths.
