He ran back to the Great Light Peak in one breath. When he arrived outside the Divine Light Basilica, Du Ying was on duty. She was dressed in a green robe and stood there gracefully. When she saw him, her expression changed slightly and her eyes flickered. In the end, she sighed faintly and bowed gracefully before entering the basilica to report.
After a while, she returned. "Junior Brother Zhao, please come in."
Chu Li fist saluted and strode into the basilica.
Sun Mingyue was dressed in a snow-white gown. There was no white veil on her face, and her beautiful face was covered with frost. She sat behind the table and said coldly, "What is it now? If it's about the Prophecy Pavilion, don't say anything! "
Chu Li weighed the box in his hand. "Saint, don't you want to know what's inside?"
"Tell me." Sun Mingyue frowned.
Chu Li said, "This is the severed head of an elder from the Prophecy Pavilion."
"You killed an elder from the Prophecy Pavilion?" Sun Mingyue frowned at him.
Chu Li nodded slowly with a proud expression. "Yes, I snuck into the Prophecy Pavilion and killed an elder. Saint, you can have a look!"
He tossed the box lightly.
The purple lacquer box with the severed head floated to Sun Mingyue and landed on the table.
Sun Mingyue glanced at him and reached out to open the purple lacquer box. A severed head appeared in front of her. The face was lifelike, but it still revealed an expression of unwillingness and anger. The severed head exuded an eerie chill.
Chu Li had been using his inner energy to freeze the severed head so that Sun Mingyue could have a look and claim credit.
He knew that Sun Mingyue had been suppressing him, preventing him from rising up and giving him a chance to gain credit. However, he insisted on doing so and went against her.
If he could become a Priest and reveal his identity, the Holy Church of Light would become a joke. Sun Mingyue would become a joke too. Her reputation as a Magic Eye would be ruined. Just thinking about it made him feel better.
Chu Li said, "This guy is Liang Sheng, an elder from the Prophecy Pavilion. Isn't this a big enough credit?"
"What are you trying to say?" Sun Mingyue scoffed, her eyes flashing. "You want to be promoted?"
"I've been a Branch Leader for quite some time. It's time for me to be promoted." Chu Li nodded calmly.
Sun Mingyue scoffed. "I'm quite thick-skinned!"
Chu Li said, "Rewards and punishments, merits and demerits. What's there to be embarrassed about? What's mine is mine."
"If he really is an elder of the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries, then killing him is indeed enough merit for you to become a Patrol Envoy," Sun Mingyue said indifferently. "Fine. You want to become a Patrol Envoy?"
Chu Li said, "I want to be a Priest."
"How ambitious!" Sun Mingyue snorted coldly and said, "You want to be a Law Emperor? Sure, kill the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, and the position of Law Emperor will be yours."
Chu Li frowned and said, "Saint, that can't be right. Which Priest can kill the pavilion leader of the Prophecy Pavilion? Let alone the Pavilion Master, our Law Emperors wouldn't even be able to kill any of the elders! "
"Are you saying that you're stronger than Dharmaraja?"
"Of course!" Chu Li puffed out his chest without hesitation. "I feel that my current cultivation level is stronger than theirs!"
"Of course, martial arts is one aspect, but there's also the contribution you made. You haven't made enough contributions," Sun Mingyue said.
She could tell that Chu Li's cultivation level was indeed higher than that of the Four Great Protectors. This was the result of his isolated cultivation, and it was undeniable.
Chu Li scoffed and said, "Saint, don't try to fool me. The Prophecy Pavilion's strength is comparable to the Eight Great Sects. Killing one of their elders is enough for you to become a Priest!"
Sun Mingyue shook her head and said, "The Priests won't agree."
Chu Li frowned and said, "Do I need their approval?"
"Of course," Sun Mingyue said. "You have to convince them in order to fill the position of Priest."
Chu Li scoffed and shook his head. "Saint, you're just trying to make things difficult for me."
"It's good that you understand," Sun Mingyue said impatiently. "Tell me, how did you kill this elder?"
She was certain that Chu Li would not lie to her. This Liang Sheng was probably an elder of the Prophecy Pavilion.
She was extremely surprised. Being able to kill an elder of the Prophecy Pavilion, logically speaking, he was qualified to be promoted to a Priest.
An elder of the Prophecy Pavilion was equivalent to a Priest in the Holy Church of Light. Since Priest He died in the hands of the Prophecy Pavilion, Zhao Dahe had avenged Priest He and boosted the morale of the Holy Church of Light. His contribution was outstanding, so he could be promoted to a Priest. However, it was not unquestionable, so it could not be mentioned.
However, she wanted to suppress Chu Li, so she found an excuse to lower his contribution.
Chu Li said, "I sneaked into the Prophecy Pavilion and assassinated him."
"You were able to sneak in?" Sun Mingyue frowned and was doubtful.
Chu Li said proudly, "I killed Ding Ruijie from the Prophecy Pavilion and obtained the secret manual. The Saint knows about it too."
"Yes, the Heavenly Heart Technique and the Heaven Peering Skill." Sun Mingyue nodded.
He had presented the secret manual to her back then.
Chu Li smiled and said, "I secretly cultivated the Heavenly Heart Technique and I'm already at the beginner level."
Sun Mingyue frowned and glared at him. "The Great Light Scripture is enough for you to cultivate. Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew!"
Chu Li said, "After I cultivated the Heavenly Heart Technique and entered the Cloud Dream Mountain, the Prophecy Pavilion's formation no longer blocked me. I could sneak in directly, so I secretly killed Liang Sheng. I'm really lucky!"
"You secretly went to the Cloud Dream Mountain!" Sun Mingyue scoffed. "Didn't I ask you to return to Gale Branch?"
"I returned to Gale Branch first before going to the Cloud Dream Mountain. It's not against the Saint's order." Chu Li smiled proudly.
Sun Mingyue coldly stared at him and said, "How dare you sneak into the Prophecy Pavilion alone. Aren't you afraid that they'll find out and kill you?"
Chu Li said, "I heard something."
"Speak!" Sun Mingyue scoffed.
Chu Li replied, "The Prophecy Pavilion will no longer be able to divine the fate of anyone who has cultivated the Heavenly Heart Technique. That's why they won't know that I've infiltrated their territory, nor will they discover me. Saint, I'll be able to become a Priest based on this piece of information alone!"
"Shut up." Sun Mingyue waved her hand and frowned.
Chu Li reluctantly shut his mouth and looked at her.
Sun Mingyue said, "Are you saying that we should let everyone cultivate the Heavenly Heart Technique?"
Chu Li nodded. "It'll be fine as long as they can cultivate it. The Heavenly Heart Technique is the fundamental heart technique of the Prophecy Pavilion and it has its own unique features."
"We can give it a try." Sun Mingyue pondered. "But it's too late now."
Chu Li said, "We can give it a try in the future."
Sun Mingyue glanced at him and said, "Stay at the Great Light Peak for a while. Don't go back."
Chu Li was stunned and quickly said, "I still need to sneak back into the Prophecy Pavilion."
"There's no need for that." Sun Mingyue scoffed. "They've probably started fighting by now. The Asuras can break their formation!"
The Asuras had a strange physique. A hundred of them were enough to destroy the Prophecy Pavilion.
This time, all the Asuras were mobilized not only to destroy the Prophecy Pavilion but also to establish their authority. They wanted to let the Fu Dynasty know that the Holy Church of Light was not a pushover. It was not something that they could bully as they pleased.
The Asuras were the seeds of the Outland. Their bodies were connected to the Outland. No matter how powerful the Prophecy Pavilion was, they would not be able to predict the existence and whereabouts of the Asuras. They could not restrain the Asuras either. The Asuras happened to restrain the Prophecy Pavilion.
It was because she had this confidence that she pressured Chu Li and did not let him make a contribution.
Otherwise, even if she wanted to suppress Chu Li, she would not have acted so carelessly at this time.
Chu Li frowned. "Are the Asuras that powerful?"
"Let's wait and see," Sun Mingyue said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Du Ying's voice came from outside. "My Saint, there's news!"
"Bring it here," Sun Mingyue said.
Du Ying walked in gracefully and handed over a bamboo tube.
Sun Mingyue took it and opened the wax seal. Then, she took out the rolled up letter and glanced at it. Her face instantly turned cold and her eyes flashed with anger. She slowly put down the letter.
