Chu Li smiled. "Can I enter the Inner Mausoleum now?"
The skinny elder smiled. "Xiao Hu, do you think he can do it?"
"The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture is indeed powerful!" The middle-aged man said, "Alright, I agree to let him in!"
The skinny elder turned his head and looked around.
"Let me experience the young man's Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture!" An elder landed in front of Chu Li.
"Elder Qian, what are you doing?" The skinny elder smiled.
"The young man's Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture is mysterious. I want to experience it!" Elder Qian smiled.
He had a dignified appearance, a burly figure, and a righteous expression.
"Sigh, take it easy then." The skinny elder shook his head.
Elder Qian smiled. "Don't worry, young man. Come, let's compete. Let's see if you can dispel my inner energy!"
As he spoke, he extended his right palm.
Chu Li fist saluted and extended his right palm as well. Their palms met.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound. Elder Qian's white hair moved even though there was no wind. He wanted to put Chu Li in his place.
Chu Li stood firmly in place. His body did not move, and his expression did not change.
Elder Qian grinned. "You have some skills. Impressive!"
He felt that his inner energy was like a clay ox entering the sea. As soon as the mighty inner energy touched Chu Li, it disappeared without a trace. There was not even a ripple or movement. It was very strange.
Chu Li looked calm but he was excited.
He proposed the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture in preparation to absorb everyone's inner energy. The inner energy of these Inner Mausoleum Protectors was extremely pure and suitable for the Heavenly Demonic Orb to devour. Although it was not as fast as the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique to devour the Heavenly Demonic Orb, it was a rare opportunity.
He believed that his Heavenly Demonic Power would improve after sparring with these Inner Mausoleum Protectors. He could not miss such a good opportunity.
As for the origin of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, his identity as a secret guardian was enough to convince people that the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture could not be subverted. Otherwise, no one would agree to let him enter the Inner Mausoleum.
After a quarter of an hour, white steam rose from the top of Elder Qian's head. He continued to channel his inner energy until he was exhausted. Chu Li gently released a palm energy and sent Elder Qian flying.
Elder Qian landed steadily and exclaimed, "What a powerful young man!"
"I'll do it!" Another elder flew out, excited to see the prey.
A few of them sat back down in disappointment, not wanting to be the first to go.
Chu Li did not reject anyone and extended his hand. He did not look like he had just fought two rounds of inner energy. He was still in high spirits.
A quarter of an hour later, the old man flew out again.
"Yo, it looks like the little fellow is going to defeat all the masters in the Inner Mausoleum!" The skinny elder laughed.
Zhao Xuan laughed and said, "If you can defeat all of us, that would be wonderful!"
Chu Li used his inner energy and smiled. "I wouldn't dare to hope for that."
"Little Lu has already held on for three days. Once he's rested, everyone will try again!" The skinny old man smiled. "Old Meng is the last one."
"Elder Xu, give me two more. Look, Little Lu doesn't look tired at all."
"That's right."
"Do you have any shame? How old are you?"
This has nothing to do with age. I just want to see how far he can go! This Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture is really powerful! "
"The Reincarnation Temple is better than the Tempest Temple. How can the temple's divine technique not be powerful?"
"However, the more powerful a martial art is, the harder it is to cultivate. Little Lu can be considered a genius for cultivating to this level."
"It's a pity he's unlucky. How did he get thrown into the Imperial Mausoleum?"
"Something went wrong and he was thrown here by the Emperor. He's really unlucky."
"Sigh, this is fate!"
While the crowd was discussing, Chu Li once again sent the old man flying.
He was satisfied. His Heavenly Demonic Power had improved a little. If he did not use the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique, he did not know how long it would take for him to improve so much.
"Alright, alright. Let Little Lu rest for a day." The skinny old man smiled. "I'm Xu Zhenshan. Little Lu, you're an Inner Mausoleum Protector from today onwards!"
Chu Li fist saluted. "Thank you, Elder Xu!"
"Don't thank me. You earned it yourself." Xu Zhenshan smiled. "Once you enter the Inner Mausoleum, your task will be heavier. You can live in the Outer Mausoleum and guard the Inner Mausoleum for one day every two days."
"Yes," Chu Li said. "I wanted to see the wonders of the Enlightened Master's golden body!"
"You'll have plenty of opportunities in the future. Now, go outside and make arrangements," Xu Zhenshan said.
Chu Li fist saluted.
"Let's go, Little Lu. Follow me out. I'll find you a place to stay first." Zhao Xuan flicked his horsetail whisk and smiled.
Chu Li fist saluted the crowd and left with Zhao Xuan.
The elders stared at Chu Li's back.
"Finally, an interesting little fellow."
"Xiao Hu, you're not the youngest anymore."
The middle-aged man smiled helplessly. "I didn't expect him to be so powerful. I'm ashamed."
"What's there to be ashamed about? This is the martial arts world."
"He benefited from the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, so he can transform inner energy and the Enlightened Master's force. I wonder how far he can get to the golden body."
"I think it won't be a problem to get within ten feet!"
"Ten feet. I'm afraid it'll be difficult. The closest is fifteen feet."
"Elder Xu, do you think Little Lu can get within ten feet?"
"More or less." The skinny elder Xu Zhenshan nodded. "The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture is mysterious beyond compare. He has a deep understanding of it. It's not impossible for him to get within ten feet."
"This Little Lu is really lucky."
The closer one got to the golden body, the greater the benefit and the deeper the understanding of the Enlightened Master. Most of them could not get within thirty feet. Only two of them could get within ten feet. They were so close to touching the golden body. Most of them could only hover around thirty feet away.
"Don't be discouraged, everyone. Try to catch up to Little Lu!"
Chu Li and Zhao Xuan left the Inner Mausoleum and walked up the stairs to the palace on the ground. This was where the Outer Mausoleum was. Although there was no longer the pressure from before, divine power and inner energy could not be used.
Zhao Xuan led him straight to the back and entered the Imperial Garden.
The Imperial Garden was lush with flowers. Due to the protection of the formation, it was evergreen all year round. It was as warm as spring. The flowers were still blooming and their fragrance permeated the air.
"Little Lu, you can choose a courtyard in the Imperial Garden to live in," Zhao Xuan said with a smile. "Are you satisfied with this place?"
"Isn't this a little overstepping my bounds?" Chu Li asked.
Zhao Xuan shook his head. "Inner Mausoleum Protectors can live in the Imperial Garden. This is a rule, not an overstepping. Even if they enter the Imperial House, Inner Mausoleum Protectors can live in the Imperial Garden."
Chu Li nodded slowly and smiled.
"Alright, pick one." Zhao Xuan smiled. "Don't be dazzled!"
Chu Li smiled and walked around the entire Imperial Garden. Then, he picked a waterside pavilion on a small lake.
Zhao Xuan smiled and nodded. He called for someone to come and clean it up.
Chu Li left the Outer Mausoleum and returned to Adjacent Town. After returning to Lu Xuzhou's residence, he appeared in his own residence in a flash.
It was noon. Xiao Qi was taking a nap in her room.
Hearing movement, she came out in a white tunic.
Her hair was loose and she looked languid and delicate. It was completely different from her usual cold demeanor. She was soft and charming, gentle like water. The huge contrast was particularly touching. Chu Li's heart pounded and he reached out to her.
Xiao Qi rolled her eyes at him and sat opposite him in the gazebo. Chu Li's heart itched even more. A faint fragrance floated in front of his nose. He wanted nothing more than to hug her.
"Three days and three nights. Are you okay?"
