When Ding Jian and Ding Shi saw that their master was only sighing without saying a word, they became anxious.
Ding Jian said, "Master, quickly tell us, what's wrong with the Glazed Lotus Scripture?"
"There's nothing wrong with it." Hui Guang shook his head.
"Then why did you sigh? Master, don't keep us in suspense!" Ding Jian quickly asked.
"I can't help but sigh when I think of the past." Hui Guang sighed softly and looked melancholic. "I had a senior brother who also cultivated the Glazed Lotus Scripture."
"Which master's senior?" Ding Jian asked.
Ding Shi said, "I think only Honorable Master Wen Miao cultivated this scripture?"
"This scripture isn't originally from our temple." Hui Guang frowned. "Just like the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture that Ding Ru offered, it was obtained from the outside world. However, it has a complete inheritance, so it can be cultivated."
"That's right." Ding Jian smiled. "The Great Mercy Temple has always been inclusive and tolerant."
"This scripture isn't easy to cultivate." Hui Guang sighed. "My senior brother took good care of me, but unfortunately, he committed suicide because of this scripture … That's why we have to be very careful. Ding Ru, don't be careless!"
"Yes." Chu Li pressed his palms together.
Hui Guang sighed. "Honorable Master Wen Miao's situation was extremely dangerous. One mistake and he would've been destroyed. This scripture can be cultivated but it's unusually fierce. It's better not to touch it if one's comprehension, determination, and luck are lacking."
"Master, I have no other choice now." Chu Li said.
"Fortunately, you have the Heaven's Eye, so there's still a chance." Hui Guang nodded and smiled. "If my senior brother had the Heaven's Eye, he wouldn't have ended up like that. That's why the temple has set a rule that anyone who wants to cultivate the Glazed Lotus Scripture must have the Heaven's Eye."
"Master, don't worry. Third Junior Brother's comprehension and wisdom are sufficient. Eh, he even reached the ninth level?" Ding Jian smiled.
He looked at him from head to toe.
Ding Shi did the same.
Hui Guang nodded. "It's a blessing to be able to advance after such a trial. However, remember this lesson and don't use the Heaven's Eye if you can."
Chu Li pressed his palms together and nodded.
Since he had the Glazed Lotus Scripture, logically speaking, he should be able to dissolve the Karma and use the Heavenly Eye without any scruples. Unfortunately, it was not such a beautiful thing. Dissolving the Karma was really too painful. It was even more painful than being burned by fire. Just thinking about it made him feel numb all over.
"Third Junior Brother, come with us to the Great East Ocean Suppressing City." Ding Jian smiled and said, "Take a good stroll and relax. Although the sea is dangerous, it is also vast. Cultivating by the sea is very beneficial."
Chu Li looked at Hui Guang.
Hui Guang nodded, "It's good to go and gain experience. What you practice is the Glazed Lotus Scripture, you need to temper yourself in the mortal world."
Chu Li asked, "Master, what martial art did you use to kill Huang Jishi back then?"
"You want to learn the Demon Subduing Incantation?" Hui Guang laughed.
Chu Li asked, "Is it possible to cultivate it?"
Hui Guang nodded and said, "You are proficient in the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, so cultivating the Demon Vanquishing Incantation will yield twice the results with half the effort. However, this incantation is too vicious, so you must use it carefully."
Chu Li replied, "I understand."
"Take two steps forward," Hui Guang said.
Ding Jian smiled and said, "Master, we want to cultivate it too."
Hui Guang shook his head and said, "Both of you won't be able to control this incantation."
Ding Shi asked, "Why?"
"Your Dragon Elephant Prajna is extremely firm and Yang, so you won't be able to form the incantation. If you are proficient in the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, you will be able to transform Yin and Yang and reverse life and death. "
"… Alright." Ding Jian and Ding Shi were helpless.
Chu Li took two steps forward and stood in front of Hui Guang. Hui Guang gently pressed his finger out.
"Ding …" A clear sound rang in Chu Li's mind, as if a jade was being knocked on.
He suddenly knew the method to operate the Demon Subduing Incantation, so he formed the incantation with both hands and the energy in his body flowed naturally. The inner energy of the Dragon Elephant Prajna surged from his left foot, while the energy of Yin and Yang surged from his right foot. The two intertwined and spun like a Tai Chi fish. Then, with a 'boom', they merged into one. Chu Li's hands swelled and a surge of energy poured out.
"Boom!" A deep pit appeared on the green brick ground.
"What a Demon Subduing Incantation!" Ding Jian and Ding Shi looked at the ground in shock.
Ding Shi smiled. "Master, between the Demon Subduing Incantation and the Tiger Subduing Incantation, which is stronger?"
"The Tiger Subduing Incantation is a martial arts heart technique similar to the Dragon Elephant Prajna while the Demon Subduing Incantation is only a seal technique. How can you compare them?" Hui Guang shook his head. "One is a heart technique while the other is a technique. If you really want to cultivate it, then cultivate the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture well."
The two of them instantly looked bitter.
Although the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture came from the lower realm, it was extremely difficult and required a high level of comprehension. The two of them had cultivated it before and felt that they could not lose to their junior brother. Unfortunately, they did not make much progress despite their hard work.
They needed a strong will and an indomitable aura to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Prajna while the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture was treacherous and ever-changing. It was different from their usual views and was difficult to grasp.
Hui Guang waved his hand. "Go."
Chu Li pressed his palms together and followed the two out of the temple. Then, he appeared in a restaurant in Sea Suppression Town.
It was a room on the third floor of the restaurant. There was a table full of dishes and a pot of fine wine. He asked Chu Li to take a seat and asked the servant to change the dishes. Then, he talked about the current situation in Sea Suppression Town.
"Ever since we defeated Thousand Sun Island, the islands on the sea have calmed down a little. We can take a breather now, but it's been hard on you, Junior Brother." Ding Jian drank a bowl of wine and sighed.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you don't have to be so polite." Chu Li shook his head and smiled. He picked up the bowl and finished the wine.
The table of dishes that Ding Jian and Ding Shi ordered included a lot of meat.
This was also an established rule. If martial arts practitioners did not eat meat, it would be difficult for their vigor to be strong. No one would care if they ate some wine and meat when they were in the martial arts world, but they could not eat meat and drink wine in or around the temple. It was a taboo to do so like Monk Wen Miao.
Ding Shi said, "It's strange that they're so honest."
"Let the people from Fifth Thunder Peak investigate." Ding Jian shook his head and pointed at his bald head. "It's hard for us to hide from outsiders."
Not only his bald head, but also his temperament. It was easy to tell if he was a monk, especially the masters of the islands on the sea. They were even more sensitive to the disciples of Great Mercy Temple and could not hide from them.
However, Fifth Thunder Peak was different. Their heart technique was different from Great Mercy Temple. They blended in with the light and did not stand out in the crowd. In addition to Fifth Thunder Peak's disguise technique, it was not difficult for them to sneak into the island.
"They've already gone, but there's still no news." Ding Shi frowned.
Chu Li said, "Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother are worried that they're still plotting the next attack?"
"That's for sure." Ding Jian scoffed. "They won't give up, especially with Wan Ziyang around."
Ding Shi nodded seriously.
Chu Li said, "Then I'll go and take a look."
Ding Jian waved his hand. "Let the masters of Fifth Thunder Peak investigate. We're not good at this. It's too dangerous there. Don't go looking for death."
"They've already fallen into the trap. If we let them go, it'll be too disappointing." Ding Shi shook his head disapprovingly.
Chu Li remained silent.
