Chu Li followed Meng Yu out of the courtyard.
He was secretly anxious. This was Wan Ziyang, the number one person on the Sea Dominator. Even on the mainland, he would be one of the top peerless experts in the world. His own cultivation was not worth mentioning in front of him.
Now, he could only hope that the Life and Death Scripture could help him avoid Wan Ziyang's senses. Otherwise, he would be exposed the moment he stepped in front of him. Wan Ziyang could probably kill him with one palm as easily as killing an ant.
Chu Li hated this feeling. This hatred was also the motivation for him to climb higher and become stronger. However, he was still a weakling here. The starting point was too far apart.
However, he knew that as long as he continued to work hard, he would eventually catch up to Wan Ziyang. Especially with the Eye of the Sky, it was like adding wings to a tiger. At least he could stop Meng Yu's fortuitous encounter.
The two slowly arrived at the easternmost courtyard.
The location of the courtyard was secluded but inside, it was elegant and classy. It was truly different from the secular world. It was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into building this courtyard.
"Island Master." After entering the courtyard, Meng Yu became cautious. He stood in the middle of the courtyard and gave a fist salute. Then, he kept quiet as if he was afraid of disturbing the person inside.
"Creak …" The door to the hall opened, and a strong middle-aged man walked out. His steps were calm, and his appearance was handsome. Especially his eyes, which were full of heroic spirit. It was as if the world was contained in them, and his heroic spirit was unhindered.
His eyes were as bright as the stars and his expression was calm. He calmly glanced at the two and said, "Young Meng, is this the master you invited?"
"This is Elder Li Chu. Although he doesn't know martial arts, he is proficient in the art of reading faces. He can see the past and the future with no mistakes." Meng Yu looked impressed and said, "He's a rare genius."
"If that's the case, he's similar to the Eye of the Great Mercy Temple?" Wan Ziyang smiled and looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li's body tensed up. He resisted the urge to channel and relaxed his body. He casually looked at Wan Ziyang and slowly nodded with squinted eyes.
Wan Ziyang felt his body turn cold as if he was being illuminated by the old man's murky eyes.
His expression was solemn as he asked in a deep voice, "Is Elder practicing the Qimen Technique?"
Chu Li shook his head and said, "I'm just relying on a little bit of talent. It's almost the same as the Heaven's Eye of the Great Mercy Temple. It's just that I was born with it, not acquired through cultivation."
"I see …" Wan Ziyang nodded slowly and said, "Since you have such talent, why didn't you go to the Great Mercy Temple? With such talent, I'm sure the Great Mercy Temple will welcome you! "
"Hehe!" Chu Li let out a cold laugh and said faintly, "Island Master, you're wrong!"
Wan Ziyang revealed a puzzled expression. "Don't tell me that the Great Mercy Temple is not interested in this kind of talent?"
Chu Li shook his head and said, "The Great Mercy Temple abhors this kind of innate talent. They say that it's a supreme obstacle that will stop my Buddhist Base from progressing further and make it difficult for me to attain consummate mastery. It's better for me to give up on this idea and live an honest life as a commoner."
"This …" Wan Ziyang frowned and muttered, "There's such a thing?"
From his point of view, Li Chu's talent was no different from the Heaven's Eye. If used well, it could be used as a sharp weapon. How could the Great Mercy Temple reject him?
Chu Li scoffed and said, "It's not like I haven't been to the Great Mercy Temple when I was young. Instead, I knelt outside the temple and begged for a long time to enter the temple so that I could cultivate martial arts. However, the Great Mercy Temple was so cruel that they flatly rejected me. They let me kneel outside the temple for a month but they still did nothing. In the end, after I passed out, they sent me back to my home."
"Sigh …" Wan Ziyang shook his head and sighed. "As expected of an ancient sect that has been passed down since ancient times. They're really bold."
Chu Li sneered and said, "I don't believe it. I still want to cultivate martial arts. Unfortunately …"
He shook his head. "It's just like what the Great Mercy Temple said. Cultivating martial arts is useless. Every time I use my talent to help others predict the future, I'll lose some of my martial arts. In just ten years, I've lost all my cultivation!"
"It seems that this talent isn't without a price," Wan Ziyang said slowly.
Chu Li said, "Later on, I realized that this talent of mine does come with a price. Not only did I lose my martial arts, but I also lost my lifespan. If I didn't use this talent, I would've died of old age. But now … I only have one year left."
"One gains and one loses. This is how the world is." Wan Ziyang nodded and said, "Then, can you see my face clearly?"
Chu Li nodded and looked at him again.
His originally cloudy eyes suddenly brightened, then slowly dimmed and became cloudy again.
Being able to look at Wan Ziyang openly was already a great reward.
The difference between the Heaven's Eye and the Flying Star Technique was that it ignored the difference in cultivation level. Regardless of whether the person's cultivation level was high or low, he could see the past and future. The key was to change the person's fate and the backlash.
Changing the fate of an important person would affect the karma of heaven and earth, so naturally, the backlash would be more severe. On the other hand, the karma of an insignificant person's fate would be smaller and the backlash would be much smaller, so it could not be easily changed.
Wan Ziyang frowned and looked at Chu Li. His cultivation level did not fluctuate, or else he would really suspect that he was a monk from the Great Mercy Temple in disguise.
However, the old man in front of him had a decaying aura and one foot in the grave. This was something that no one could imitate, not even the monk from the Great Mercy Temple could fool him.
Chu Li looked at him for a while and sighed. "The island master is really a dragon that has descended. You're so noble, it's a pity …"
"What's a pity?" Wan Ziyang scoffed.
Chu Li shook his head. "It's a pity that there's no successor."
Wan Ziyang frowned and stared at him. His eyes narrowed and a cold glint flashed through them. His gaze was like two knives cutting Chu Li's face.
Chu Li was shocked. He did not expect Wan Ziyang's cultivation level to be so powerful. It was beyond his imagination.
"What do you mean?" Wan Ziyang asked slowly.
Chu Li said, "The island master will not have many children. It's better for you to plan ahead."
"I'm still considered young." Wan Ziyang scoffed.
Chu Li shook his head. "It's not about age, it's the island master … Forget it, it's better not to say it."
"Say it." Wan Ziyang scoffed. "Young Meng won't tell anyone."
Meng Yu hurriedly said, "Island master, Elder Li, you two continue chatting. I have some matters to attend to."
Wan Ziyang waved his hand.
Meng Yu retreated and left the courtyard.
Chu Li waited for him to leave and sighed. "The island master's talent is limited. He's destined to have no children."
Wan Ziyang asked coldly, "Is there any way?"
Chu Li said, "Unless the island master is willing to give up his cultivation level and cultivate the Great Mercy Temple's Marrow Cleansing Technique, there's still a chance."
"Impossible." Wan Ziyang scoffed.
Not to mention whether he could give up his cultivation level, he could not cultivate the Great Mercy Temple's Marrow Cleansing Technique. Outsiders could not master the Great Mercy Temple's martial arts.
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "Then it's God's will. No matter how many women the island master finds, it'll all be in vain."
"I don't believe in fate!" Wan Ziyang said coldly.
Chu Li smiled. "Then you don't believe in fate. I have nothing to say."
He knew that Wan Ziyang did not completely believe in him. Since he did not have any cultivation level, his life was in Wan Ziyang's hands. That was why he could say such things.
