Song Manyin said, "You won't be able to come back if you go down there!"
Chu Li asked, "Why can't I come back?"
"That's the rule of Heaven and Earth." Song Manyin said, "To come back, you'll need to ascend. Even if you go down from this world, you'll be assimilated into the people of the next world and need to ascend to return. More importantly, once you go down, you'll lose all your martial arts … Think about it, the spiritual energy in the next world is so poor and the lifespan of the people there is so short. If you cultivate in this world, you might not be able to perfect a martial art even after ten thousand years, let alone the next world. It's suicide!"
Chu Li pondered, "If you perfect a martial art and go to the next world, you'll be able to come back up easily, right?"
"Of course." Song Manyin nodded, "If you can perfect a martial art, you'll definitely be able to return to the next world. However, you'll have to be younger than a thousand years or you'll die if you go down there … It's not easy to perfect a martial art within a thousand years. You should know that the martial arts that can ascend to this world are not ordinary martial arts. Other than the top antique studies of the Hundred Sects, the other martial arts are useless."
Chu Li frowned, "I need the top antique martial arts?"
"Of course. Any random martial art can allow one to ascend. Isn't that too easy?" Song Manyin scoffed, "These top antique martial arts can't be perfected in a thousand years. Forget a thousand years, you'll be a genius if you can perfect it in ten thousand years!"
Chu Li smiled, "What about you, Sect Leader? Is there anyone in the Heaven Blade Sect who has perfected their martial arts?"
Song Manyin shook her head, "No."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Song Manyin scoffed, "What's the use of mastering ordinary martial arts? Moreover, the top antique martial arts can't be perfected in a thousand years. It'll require thousands or even ten thousand years of hard work! "
Chu Li said, "I heard that it's easy to perfect the martial arts of the Great Mercy Temple."
"Hmph, those are ignorant words! It's even harder to perfect the martial arts of the Great Mercy Temple. " Song Manyin said, "You'll need to have a higher level of comprehension. Buddhist teachings need to be profound. Buddhist teachings are the most idealistic. Some people can achieve enlightenment overnight while others can't even after cultivating for ten thousand years."
Chu Li said, "But it can still be perfected."
"Are you talking about Master Wen Tong?" Song Manyin shook her head and said, "It's said that he was a person with innate wisdom. In his past life, he was an eminent monk with great virtue. That's why he was born with knowledge of the Dharma. He was able to comprehend it the moment he learned it. That's why the martial arts of the Great Mercy Temple are like this. If you have a profound understanding of the Dharma, you'll be able to master it the moment you practice it. If you don't have a profound understanding of the Dharma, it's useless no matter how you practice it. It's even more infuriating than the martial arts of other sects!"
Chu Li was surprised. He really did not know about this. This Honorable Master Wen Tong was elusive and only left behind legends. He was not in the temple and had never been seen before.
As for innate wisdom, he didn't deny it. If he could reincarnate, it didn't mean others couldn't.
"Do you really want to go down there?" Song Manyin looked at Chu Li in surprise.
Of course, she was not stupid. She knew that Chu Li wanted to descend to the Lower Realm, so she shook her head and said, "I advise you not to do anything rash. Descending to the Lower Realm is a dead end. Throughout the ages, for millions of years, it seems like only a handful of people have managed to return to the Lower Realm."
Chu Li frowned and said, "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be that difficult, right?"
He didn't think that cultivating the Dragon Elephant Wisdom was too difficult. Although he obtained all kinds of fortuitous encounters, such as robbing Meng Yu's fortuitous encounter, obtaining the Dipankara Sarira, the original Buddhist teachings, and the cultivation of the Wisdom Origin Scripture, he was able to achieve what he had today.
He suddenly thought about it and suddenly shook his head and laughed.
In fact, it was already extremely difficult.
It was already amazing for ordinary people to obtain one of the fortuitous encounters. It was rare for him to obtain so many fortuitous encounters.
Song Manyin said, "It's a dead end if you go down there. Why are you so stubborn? Are you afraid of the Heaven's Equal Faction's revenge? Don't worry, no matter what, you're working for me. I won't just stand by and watch. You can stay here for a while. "
Chu Li laughed and said, "Sect Leader, I have the Divination Technique. I'm confident that I can escape."
"That's not necessarily true." Song Manyin shook her head. "Sects like the Heaven's Equal Faction, the Heaven's Blade Sect, and the Great Mercy Temple all have treasures that can conceal the mysteries of heaven. It's not difficult for them to kill you."
Chu Li said, "Then how can I go down there?"
"Do you really want to go down there and die?" Song Manyin frowned and said in confusion, "Is there a need for that? Even if you don't need my help, the Heaven's Equal Faction can't do anything to you if you hide in the Southern Heaven's Gate. "
Chu Li smiled. "I really want to go down there."
"… Alright, you can try." Song Manyin scoffed. "You guys who are good at divination always have a plan."
Chu Li looked at her quietly.
Song Manyin said, "There's a Divine Gate at the Nine Spirits Mountain. You can go down there."
Chu Li sighed in relief.
He was most worried that he would have no way to go. All this while, his soul had been going up and down and his body had never left this realm. However, he felt that there should be a way down there, just like the Outland and the Lower Realm.
"Do you know about the Nine Spirits Mountain?" Song Manyin tilted her head and looked at him.
Chu Li shook his head.
Song Manyin said, "It's a secret. I didn't know about it before I became the sect leader. It's a way out for us. If there's no way out, we can try to escape to the Lower Realm and leave behind a child. Maybe one day, the child can ascend and revive the sect!"
Chu Li slowly nodded.
"How about this, I'll bring you there." Song Manyin said, "If not, you won't be able to find it at all. It's useless even if you're good at divination."
"Thank you, sect leader." Chu Li gave a fist salute and smiled.
Song Manyin waved her hand to indicate that there was no need. Gather? Dianying? Peach? Dumpling material?
The next moment, they appeared on top of a vast mountain.
The mountain was like a sword that was stabbed into the ground and pierced into the sky.
The mountain was steep, straight up and down. It was impossible to climb up without martial arts. The huge mountain was only a hundred meters wide. A few rocks were weathered to the point that they lost their edges.
Amidst the howling wind, the two stood quietly at the top of the mountain. Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror had already observed the surroundings. The cliff below was pitch black and unfathomable. The Omniscient Mirror could not see through it.
"The Nine Spirits Realm is below here." Song Manyin pointed at the abyss below. "If you want to go to the Lower Realm, jump down."
Chu Li said, "Really?"
"I don't know." Song Manyin shook her head. "No one has tried. Even if they did, they couldn't come up, so I can't say for sure. However, since it's passed down by our founder, it can't be fake."
Chu Li smiled bitterly.
He could feel a chill in his heart. There was a fatal danger down there. It was as if a giant beast's mouth was opened, waiting for him to jump down.
"How do you feel?" Song Manyin tilted her head and looked at him. "You guys are good at divination. You're very sensitive to bad luck. Is it dangerous down there?"
Chu Li nodded. "It's certain death."
"That might be right." Song Manyin smiled. "Going to the Lower Realm means certain death."
Chu Li said, "Nobody tried to find out the truth?"
"There's no news after jumping down." Song Manyin said. "Some people are brave and curious, but they're all gone. Once they jump down, no matter how good their Light-body Technique or martial arts are, they can't regret it. They can't come back!"
Chu Li took out the Prophet Stone and activated the Flying Star Technique in his mind. At the same time, he activated the Heaven's Eye.
