Chu Li smiled and did not say a word.
Hui Guang said, "I'm fine now. You guys can leave. Calm down and cultivate well so that you don't end up like me."
"Master, you met Wan Ziyang, not just anyone." Ding Jian laughed. "No matter how good our martial arts are, we can't defeat this guy!"
Ding Shi shook his head.
Eldest Senior Brother was right but he was too pessimistic. How could they not work hard just because their opponent was too strong?
Hui Guang said, "You guys can leave. Ding Ru, stay."
"Yes." Ding Jian and Ding Shi respectfully replied, then pulled Ding Ming out of the room.
Hui Guang pointed at the stool beside the bed.
Chu Li sat there.
Hui Guang sighed. "The world is full of wonders. Ding Ru, your encounter is also amazing. You even managed to obtain such a profound scripture and cultivate it to perfection."
Chu Li nodded. "It was indeed a fortuitous encounter."
Hui Guang looked at him and sighed.
Chu Li said, "Master, you want all the seniors to cultivate the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, right?"
"That's a little too much," Hui Guang said.
Chu Li shook his head. "I didn't get this scripture from my master. I got it through a fortuitous encounter. It'll be great if such a miraculous scripture can be used to save more people. It'll be a great deed of virtue."
Hui Guang smiled and shook his head. "Not everyone is as broad-minded as you."
He did not expect Chu Li to agree so easily. He felt ashamed as if he was measuring a gentleman with his own yardstick.
Chu Li said, "Master, but this Enlightenment Technique …"
He took a gamble and used the Diversion Technique. Hui Guang was his master so he had to save him and he trusted him. However, he was not so sure about the others as he was worried that they would get into trouble because of this.
"Your Enlightenment Technique is not bad." Hui Guang nodded slowly.
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "Master, you recognized it?"
Hui Guang smiled knowingly, "At that time, it was such a big deal. At my age, I am very sensitive to this art. But I never thought that you would actually use this art to save someone. Turning harm into benefit, it can be said to be great wisdom."
Chu Li said, "I named this technique Wisdom Enlightenment Technique and offered it to the temple along with the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture."
"This name is not bad!" Hui Guang smiled and said, "But have you thought about it?"
The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture and the Art of Traction were both marvelous arts. Ordinary people would be extremely lucky to obtain even one of them. To be able to offer these two marvelous arts to the temple, this kind of courage was extraordinary, which made him exclaim in admiration.
Chu Li nodded slowly. "Master, I'm only staying to benefit from one person."
"Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?" Hui Guang said, "Good intentions don't always lead to good returns. It's not that simple to get what you sow."
Chu Li said, "If the temple really treats me this way, I have nothing to say."
"Alright. Although the Great Mercy Temple has strict rules, we are not ungrateful." Hui Guang laughed.
Chu Li said, "Since I've decided to take it out, I've already made preparations."
"Mm, you can go first. I'll report to the abbot first," Hui Guang said.
Chu Li pressed his palms together and left the temple.
The next day, after he finished his morning lesson, Ding Ming hurried over. "Junior Martial Brother Ding Ru, Master wants you to go over."
Chu Li pressed his palms together and bowed.
Ding Ming hurriedly pressed his palms together to return the greeting.
His attitude was completely different from the day before. He believed that Chu Li had saved Hui Guang.
When the two arrived at Hui Guang's temple, they saw the abbot, Xin Ji, standing quietly in the middle of the courtyard. His tall and burly body exuded a dignified aura, but it did not come from essence.
Chu Li could feel the immense pressure from him. It came from the pressure of his soul.
Even if his cultivation level was not as high, it did not diminish his pride because his soul was strong. Xin Ji's soul was not inferior to his, which was rare.
Hui Guang stood beside him and did not say a word.
"Abbot, Master." Chu Li pressed his palms together as he entered the courtyard.
"Ding Ru, are you really going to offer the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture and the Wisdom Empowerment Technique to the temple?" Xin Ji asked. His eyes were bright as if he could see through Chu Li's mind.
Chu Li said seriously, "Yes."
"Good!" Xin Ji pressed his palms together at Chu Li. "Thank you very much!"
Chu Li pressed his palms together and bowed.
Xin Ji turned his head and said, "Hui Guang, your injuries are almost healed. You'll be in charge of imparting the technique."
"Yes, abbot!" Hui Guang said.
He turned his head and said, "Let Ding Jian teach you the next two levels of the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Technique."
Chu Li nodded and left the temple.
Three days later, Hui Guang summoned him to the temple again.
The bell rang slowly, followed by Sanskrit chants that came with the night breeze.
Hui Guang paced in front of the bamboo forest with his hands behind his back. Chu Li walked beside him and followed his footsteps.
"Ding Ru, on account of your contribution to the temple." Hui Guang's gray cowl fluttered as he walked slowly. "I've decided to let you cultivate in the Spirit Mountain once."
Chu Li was confused.
Hui Guang said, "The Spirit Mountain is the temple's sacred land. To open it, there are strict conditions and a huge price to pay."
"What price?" Chu Li asked.
Hui Guang said, "It requires a hundred masters to open it together and sacrifice their cultivation level."
"A hundred masters." Chu Li smiled bitterly. "Master, I don't deserve that. Moreover, this is a crucial period for the temple and Star Cloud Island."
Hui Guang said, "Without your Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture and Wisdom Empowerment Technique, the temple will lose eighteen top-notch masters this time."
"We'll lose a hundred masters this time." Chu Li shook his head.
"Martial arts can be cultivated again if it's lost, but it's hard to save people if they're lost." Hui Guang said, "We cultivate the Dharma, but we don't ignore lives."
Chu Li asked, "What kind of masters?"
"We need masters with the name 'Wisdom'," Hui Guang said slowly.
Chu Li shook his head. "Forget it, Master. I didn't offer these two techniques for this."
"Ding Ru, you worry too much. The Great Mercy Temple won't lose so easily." Hui Guang stopped and said, "I've asked you to enter the Spirit Mountain, so go. Don't say anything else!"
"Master …" Chu Li hesitated.
Hui Guang scoffed. "Entering the Spirit Mountain in three days is a rare opportunity. After you enter, we'll see how much you can understand with your wisdom."
Chu Li sighed. "Yes, Master. What's so special about the Spirit Mountain?"
Hui Guang said, "The Spirit Mountain is the supreme holy land for cultivating the Dharma, and it's also the holy land for cultivating martial arts. Most importantly, the Spirit Mountain lasts for a hundred years, but only one year here."
Chu Li was surprised. He did not expect such a strange place to exist. He thought the time difference between the Outland and the First Heaven was already very mysterious.
Hui Guang said, "Now, I'll teach you the twelfth level of the Dragon Elephant Wisdom."
Chu Li nodded. "Thank you, Master."
Hui Guang scoffed. "There's no need to thank me! Also, the Dharma, the most special Dharma is the scripture you recite in the morning and evening classes. If you can understand the truth in the Spirit Mountain, you'll benefit immensely, and the Dragon Elephant Wisdom will improve by leaps and bounds! "
Chu Li was deep in thought.
Then, Hui Guang personally taught him the Dragon Elephant Wisdom, starting from the first level, which was no different from what Ding Ru taught him. Then, he taught him the fifth level, and finally the twelfth level.
On the morning of the third day, Hui Guang came to his courtyard and personally brought him to a dilapidated temple behind the Great Mercy Temple.
The temple was dilapidated.
