Chu Li nodded slowly. "Brother Du, I think I should lend you a hand. If the Church of the Divine Blood sends more people later, I won't be able to take care of Elder Zheng and the rest."
"Alright." Zheng Ze nodded.
The feeling of helplessness earlier was terrible. He did not want to become a useless person and need protection. If it was embarrassing, then so be it!
Chu Li pressed on his back. An extremely pure inner energy wrapped around the Blood Jade Palm. It was the inner energy of the Cloud Slashing Power. It began to devour the Blood Jade Palm's energy.
Zheng Ze felt the purity of his inner energy. Suddenly, his body felt empty. The Blood Jade Palm's energy was swept out of his body and flowed smoothly throughout his body.
Chu Li devoured the Blood Jade Palm's energy and turned it into the inner energy of the Cloud Slashing Power. Then, he slowly released his palms. Ten minutes later.
Zheng Ze opened his eyes. His eyes were bright again. The four of them continued on their journey.
They galloped on their horses, not delaying their conversation.
There were pedestrians on the main road. They overtook one person after another, causing yellow dust to billow. They talked loudly as they galloped.
Zheng Ze said, "Brother Du, with your blade technique and cultivation level, you should be famous. What brings you to the Fu Dynasty?"
"It's a long story. I came to the Fu Dynasty to kill someone."
"Oh?" Zheng Ze smiled on the horse. "Brother Du must be someone extraordinary to be chased from the Ji Dynasty to the Fu Dynasty."
Chu Li said, "I don't know who he is. I only know that he cultivates the Heavenly Demonic Power and changed his appearance several times."
"The Heavenly Demonic Power?!" Zheng Ze was shocked. He frowned. "He cultivates the Heavenly Demonic Power?"
Chu Li nodded slowly. "This guy is very slippery. More importantly, he can change his appearance. It's hard to find him or I would've killed him a hundred times!"
"The Heavenly Demonic Power." Zheng Ze shook his head. "Brother Du, you don't have to worry about that. Those who cultivate the Heavenly Demonic Power can change their appearance. Outsiders won't be able to recognize them."
Chu Li said, "I can sense the aura of the Heavenly Demonic Power."
"Amazing!" Zheng Ze exclaimed. "There aren't many people in the world who can sense the aura of the Heavenly Demonic Power. It's rare to find one. However, it's hard to guard against them once they cultivate it. That's why everyone is afraid of them."
"Which Sect does the Heavenly Demonic Power belong to?"
"Heavenly Demon Sect." Zheng Ze shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the fact that they have a small population, they would probably be listed as one of the eight major sects. However, their whereabouts are mysterious and unpredictable, and their actions are treacherous. It's impossible to guard against them, and they're not open and aboveboard. That's why they're feared by others, and their deterrence is comparable to the eight major sects."
Chu Li frowned. "Where's the Heavenly Demonic Sect?"
"No one knows." Zheng Ze shook his head. "Forget about Heavenly Demon Sect, no one even knows how many people there are in Heavenly Demon Sect and what they look like. It's as if they don't exist, yet they seem to be everywhere."
Chu Li asked, "Wouldn't that make me invincible?"
"I don't think so." Zheng Ze said, "Grandmasters are not to be trifled with. Once there's any danger, they'll be able to sense it immediately. That's why it's very difficult to plot against a Grandmaster using the Heavenly Demonic Power. Moreover, it's extremely difficult to cultivate the Heavenly Demonic Power, and the progress is very slow."
"Is this the power of the Heavenly Demonic Power?"
"That's right. There are too many transformations, but not enough power." Zheng Ze nodded slowly. "If it really had endless transformations and endless power, it would have become public enemy number one and been destroyed long ago."
Chu Li nodded thoughtfully. "The Heavenly Demonic Power Master that I met was not weak. Otherwise, he would have killed me with one slash!"
Zheng Ze frowned.
He had witnessed Chu Li's blade technique. It was as if it was made by nature and could not be avoided. It was as if it contained the infinite power of heaven and earth. When the blade slashed down, it was almost impossible to resist.
To be able to escape from such a blade technique, Chu Li was definitely not an ordinary master. He did not expect Heavenly Demonic Sect to have such a master. This was an extremely important piece of news. He should inform the sect and be careful of Heavenly Demonic Sect.
Chu Li said, "If you can obtain the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon and cultivate it, it's best to know yourself and your enemy."
Zheng Ze shook his head. "The Scripture of the Heavenly Demon is difficult and profound. You won't understand it even if I give it to you."
"Brother Zheng, you've read the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon before?"
"Yes, I've seen it once. It's like the Heavenly Book." Zheng Ze smiled bitterly. "Anyway, those who can cultivate the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon are all geniuses and lunatics. It's best not to provoke them."
Chu Li said, "Brother Zheng, do you know how to cultivate the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon?"
"I've occasionally heard someone mention it. I think it's to let go of one's nature." Zheng Ze pondered. "Being a demon is the extreme of one's nature. If you naturally like power, then you should desperately pursue it. The more power you obtain, the faster the Heavenly Demonic Power will advance. If you naturally like beauty, then you should desperately pursue beauty. The more you obtain, the faster the Heavenly Demonic Power will advance. If you like fame, then you should desperately earn it. The greater the fame, the faster the Heavenly Demonic Power will advance. There's also something else. In short, it's to let go of your nature and let it help you cultivate."
Chu Li frowned and did not say anything.
Zheng Ze said, "That's why it's not easy to cultivate the Heavenly Demonic Power. Most people don't know what they really want and pursue it. After they get it, they feel empty and bored. Only then do they realize that it's not what they really want. Most people think that they like fame and fortune, but after they get it, they realize that they don't really like it. They're just influenced by the world and think that they like it."
"That's true." Chu Li slowly nodded.
It was indeed not easy to understand oneself. Not many people really understood what they wanted and what they desired. Most of them were blinded by fame and fortune and could not see through their own hearts.
"It's very difficult for people who can't see themselves to succeed in cultivating the Heavenly Demonic Power. At most, they can change their appearance and mislead others. They can't really become a demon." Zheng Ze smiled. "The Heavenly Demon is one of the strongest existences."
Chu Li pondered.
He asked himself, what did he really want?
Money? Beauty? Reputation? Power? Or was it an Enlightened Master?
At that moment, he could not answer.
He did not like money. It was just a tool. It was good enough as long as he had enough.
What about beauty? He did like beautiful women and would be moved by beautiful women, but he liked Xiao Qi the most. Xiao Qi was as pure as ice and as clean as jade. She was otherworldly. Having her was like having the whole world. He had nothing else to ask for.
What about reputation?
He had always had a sense of detachment from this world. He did not think that the opinions of others were important. It did not matter if he had a good or bad reputation. It did not matter even if he had no reputation.
What about power?
His heart skipped a beat. It was as if he had a strong desire for power. It was not that he wanted to be above others, but it was pure laziness. If he wanted to do something, he did not have to do it himself. He could just give an order.
Moreover, he was just lazy physically, but his brain liked to work. He liked to read people's minds and control them.
What about Enlightened Masters?
He had always been on the road to become an Enlightened Master. He wanted to achieve it no matter what. Why did he want to become an Enlightened Master? He wanted to be free and unrestrained. He wanted to control his own fate and not be controlled by others.
This was what he desired the most!
He had always been hostile to the Emperor and the Enlightened Masters because of his yearning for freedom.
Who could be truly free in this world? The Emperor was an Enlightened Master, but he could not be without scruples. He still had to be bound by the Heavenly Rules. Only by defying nature and becoming a God could he be free and not be bound by the Heavenly Rules.
If he wanted to be free and unrestrained in this world, he could not do without power and being an Enlightened Master. If he was only an Enlightened Master, his friends and relatives would become restraints and he would worry about them. If he only had power, he would not be able to live freely.
In this case, as long as he pursued Enlightened Master and power, his Heavenly Demon ability would improve even faster.
