He channeled the Auspicious Divine Power and let out a long howl.
The long howl resounded through the entire Levitating Peak.
Everyone fell into a trance when they heard it. Then, the long howl continued. They continued to be in a trance and slowly fell asleep.
Chu Li strolled to their courtyards and basilica. He flipped through their piles of old papers and looked at their current information. He realized that they had an astonishing number of spies.
They were everywhere. They had more than one spy in every sect, including the Great Light Surpassing Land.
He thought for a moment, then picked up a pen and wrote a few words on a table. "Chu Li was here."
After he finished writing, he looked at these words and revealed an inexplicable smile.
This was a phrase that could not be more vulgar, but when written at this moment, there was an inexplicable sense of heroism and joy.
He then let out another long howl.
Everyone woke up.
"What's going on?"
"I dozed off!"
"Did someone drug me?"
Everyone woke up at different times. Some woke up after a while, some woke up immediately. They were stunned by the situation around them and started talking. Some came out of their courtyards and gathered together to discuss. They all felt that something was wrong.
Everyone in the basilica was livid.
They stared at the words Chu Li wrote, their eyes burning with anger.
"Chu Li!" A thin elder stroked his beard and said, "We really underestimated him!"
His expression was calm. His calm and composed aura affected the surroundings. The atmosphere in the basilica became much calmer. It was no longer like a volcano that was about to erupt.
"What does he mean?" An elder asked, "Is he here to demonstrate?"
"This time, the Nine Heavens Thunder Punishment angered him." The thin elder said, "This is what we expected. Logically, he went to the Thunder Pool first. Did he destroy the Thunder Pool?"
They knew the layout of the Thunder Pool.
"This Chu Li is getting more and more unpredictable." A burly red-faced elder said, "We have to change our methods. Let's turn suppression into appeasement. Otherwise, things will get out of hand!"
He still had lingering fears.
This time, Chu Li had knocked everyone unconscious. He could do whatever he wanted and eliminate everyone. From then on, the Elder Society would only exist in name. They would be in a state of disunity and would not be able to achieve anything.
However, Chu Li did not do so, which greatly surprised them.
In his impression, Chu Li was a ruthless person. It was fine when he did not make a move, but once he did, he would go all out.
"It's not that easy." The scrawny elder stroked his beard and sighed. "Everyone knows that Chu Li and we have a knot in our hearts. It's the Asura who descended to the Lower Realm back then. This is a knot that can't be untied."
"He should be able to understand this matter. If he was a member of the Elders Council, he would make the same decision."
"He wouldn't think that way. He would only think that we are the main culprits who caused the deaths of countless commoners in the lower realms."
"If that's the case, why didn't you kill him this time?"
"Leader, this is a good opportunity." The red-faced, burly elder said, "This Chu Li is demonstrating his power and showing his goodwill at the same time. Who knows, we might be able to work together. There's no need to fight to the death."
"Sigh …" The thin elder stroked his beard and sighed. He shook his head and said, "This Chu Li is different from Song Wuji. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to work together. They are destined to be rivals."
"Then we will definitely lose." The red-faced, burly old man frowned. "If he comes again, we still won't be able to stop him!"
They had all fainted for no reason and were powerless to resist.
If Chu Li came again, they would still be the same.
This feeling of powerlessness made them angry. Ever since they became a member of the Elders Council, they had never felt this way again. It reminded them of their younger days. It was a past that they did not want to recall.
However, they were past the age where they were hot-blooded. They were more rational than impulsive. Even though they were angry, their hearts were cold.
"How did Chu Li find us?" The thin elder said, "If we don't figure this out, we won't be able to eat or sleep in peace!"
"He probably used some kind of secret skill." The red-faced, burly old man said, "Song Wuji was able to find us back then. Chu Li is stronger than Song Wuji. It's not surprising that he could find us, but …"
He shook his head and sighed. "I'm not willing to give in just like that!"
The thin elder said, "Elder Mi, a wise man submits to circumstances. Everything is for the survival of the Elders Council. Back then, we could compromise with Song Wuji. Now that we're facing Chu Li, how can we not compromise?"
"Sigh …" The red-faced, burly old man shook his head. "This is so frustrating!"
"It can't be helped." The thin elder said, "Everyone wants to get rid of all obstacles and restore order to the world. However, things often don't go according to plan. It's fine if Chu Li didn't find us. We can continue pressuring him to obey. Now that he's here, there's no need to hope for luck. It's just another Song Wuji. Our Elders Council is still the Elders Council!"
"I hope so." The red-faced, burly old man sighed.
Chu Li stood in the dark and listened to these words. He nodded in satisfaction.
It seemed that the Elders Council knew how to adapt to circumstances. Back then, they must have quarreled with Song Wuji. After suffering a loss, they compromised with Song Wuji. Was it because of Song Wuji? He found a way to let the Elders Council know how to compromise. It saved him a lot of trouble.

Chu Li appeared in the Great Light Surpassing State. Not long after, Sun Mingyue reappeared, followed by two elders in the void.
Their faces were pale as they glared at Sun Mingyue.
Sun Mingyue stood in the void above the courtyard. Her clothes were as white as snow, fluttering in the wind. She chuckled. "What can you do to me? Why don't you summon the Ninth Heaven Thunder again and see if you can strike me to death!"
"Sun Mingyue, don't be so arrogant!" One of the elders sneered. "You'll cry when you offend the Elders Council."
Chu Li said calmly, "Why don't you return to the Elders Council first? It's not too late to talk after that. Forgive me for not sending you off."
He waved his long sleeves.
The two elders were instantly swept away by the strong wind. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the void.
"Satisfying!" Sun Mingyue chuckled. "Looking at their helpless faces, it's so satisfying!"
Chu Li smiled. "I've been to the Thunder Pool and promised to spare their lives. As for the Elders Council, let's wait and see."
"Are you really going to bypass the Thunder Pool?" Sun Mingyue was surprised.
Chu Li nodded. "I've already obtained the Thunder Pool Inheritance. You can find a disciple to go there."
"Understood!" Sun Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled. She understood what Chu Li meant. This time, he was going to take over the Thunder Pool.
She smiled again. "What about the Elders Council?"
Chu Li said, "With the help of the Thunder Pool, I found the Floating Peak. The Elders Council is there. I'll scare them a little. They're smart and won't act recklessly."
"Aren't you going to destroy them?" Sun Mingyue smiled.
She knew that Chu Li hated them very much. He wanted to destroy them all.
Chu Li sighed. "I'll leave my head with them for now."
Based on his temper, he really wanted to destroy them all. However, if he really did that, it would be very troublesome.
He felt the merits of these people. He used his Sky Eye to see their past and future. He realized that these old men had a lot of merits. If he really killed them, he would lose a huge amount of merits.
If that was the case, it would be difficult for him to perfect the Dragon Elephant Wisdom. He needed merits for the last level to be perfect.
If he really wanted to destroy them, he would have to wait until he perfected the Dragon Elephant Wisdom.
"I'm going into isolated cultivation. I'll leave the rest to you." Chu Li said.
