"Where did your bishop escape to?"
"Hmph, escape?" The Thin Elder curled his lips and looked at him in disdain. "The bishop is unpredictable. You'll know how powerful he is in the future."
Chu Li frowned and his face darkened.
His Omniscient Mirror had improved tremendously and he could see into the Thin Elder's mind.
What they did previously made him think that the jade flute was useful and that he would attack after they gathered. This was all part of the Divine Church of Asura's plan.
The Divine Church of Asura's leader was not trying to escape but to create trouble for the Holy Church of Light. He wanted the Saint to be distracted by the Asuras so that they could escape.
That would be troublesome. The Divine Church of Asura's leader was not an ordinary person. Although his cultivation level was not as high as Chu Li's, he was still a Holy Church of Light Priest. If he deliberately caused trouble, the damage would be unimaginable.
He was not afraid of Sun Mingyue, but he was afraid that the Divine Church of Asura's leader would kill. That would be a sin.
The Thin Elder scoffed. "Everyone, let's attack together!"
The crowd of Asuras pounced on Chu Li. They were densely packed and did not give Chu Li a chance to dodge.
Chu Li disappeared in a flash. By the time they reached the center, he was already gone.
He landed on a treetop and sat in a lotus position. It was as if an invisible force was supporting him as he sat steadily.
He formed a seal with his hands and his posture was the same as the Buddha of Light in his mind. His lips moved as he chanted the Great Light Scripture. It sounded like he was murmuring but it was clear enough to be heard.
His posture and movements were the same as the Buddha of Light in his mind. His body, mind, hands, and mouth were connected. His lips were synchronized with the Buddha's and the sound was the same. It was as if he was chanting the Buddha of Light through his own mouth.
Amidst the murmuring of Buddha's voice, the Great Light Scripture floated into their minds like invisible lotuses.
The Asuras were about to turn around and rush at him. As soon as the Buddha's voice entered their ears, they stopped moving. They seemed to be deep in thought as they listened attentively. Unknowingly, the coldness on their faces disappeared and they became calm again.
The murderous intent in his chest slowly dissipated along with the Great Light Scripture.
Chu Li felt neither sorrow nor joy, neither anger nor resentment. There was only peace and light in his heart. His body and the Great Light Scripture had merged into one. The Great Light Scripture was him, and he was the Great Light Scripture. It was difficult to distinguish one from the other.
Over and over again, the Great Light Scripture circulated and resounded in the Asuras' ears. The sound grew louder and louder, but they listened to it as if they were intoxicated. In the end, they even smiled.
Chu Li slowly came to a stop. His expression was solemn, and his face glowed brightly as if the Great Light Buddha had appeared.
Chu Li said in a low voice, "Everyone, follow me."
Everyone cupped their fists and respectfully followed behind him into the depths of the forest.
The four Asuras who had been severely injured by Chu Li also stood up and followed behind him with great difficulty.
Chu Li leaped behind them and clapped his hands lightly, dispelling the inner energy of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. Then, he returned to the front to lead the way.
Chu Li's movements were steady, calm, and unhurried. There was an air of serenity in his movements, but his footsteps were extremely fast. In just a short while, he had passed through the dense forest and reached the peak of the mountain. Then, he continued to climb.
When they were halfway up the mountain, the white jade talisman in Chu Li's sleeve flew out.
The surrounding scenery did not change much, but the mountain could no longer be seen from the outside.
Chu Li was in the eye of the formation, so he could see through the formation through the Omniscient Mirror. If he took another step, the Omniscient Mirror would lose its effect.
When he saw the situation outside, he could not help but be speechless. What a powerful formation.
A formation that could conceal a mountain was not an ordinary formation. It seemed that the Great Light Peak's strength was unfathomable, and there was a hidden formation master among them. However, it could also be a formation set up by the Tian Luo Sect.
He turned to look at the Asuras and said, "All of you should calm down and cultivate here. Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have. I'm afraid that your bishop is in danger!"
The Asuras remained silent.
They had lost their killing intent, but that did not mean that they had changed their minds.
They were just not as extreme when they were facing Chu Li, so they did not want to make a move. Deep down, they were still eager to make a move. They thought that if the bishop could cause chaos in the Holy Church of Light, they would be able to seize the opportunity to regain their freedom and dominate the world.
Then, they were inexplicably worried.
This fellow's Great Light Scripture was so powerful that they could not help but want to convert to him. Now that the bishop was not here, and without the bishop's treasures to restrain the Great Light Scripture, they would have to convert to him if he chanted the scripture one more time. That would mean that they would never be free.
When they thought of this, they were inexplicably worried and glared at Chu Li.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows as he saw through their thoughts.
He found a huge rock and sat in the lotus position. Then, he formed a seal with his hands and once again merged with the Buddha of Great Light in his mind. His movements, speech, and speech became one, connecting the inside and the outside. His mouth was the Buddha's mouth, and his voice was the Buddha's voice. The Great Light Scripture was like a lotus falling on their bodies, making them want to convert again.
When Chu Li began to chant the Great Light Scripture, he did not know how much time had passed. He was completely immersed in the Great Light Scripture and did not divert his attention at all. His heart was pure, and his mind was pure, which was why he had such a wonderful power.
When dusk arrived, Chu Li came back to his senses and realized that he had unknowingly been chanting the Great Light Scripture for an entire day.
He could not help but sigh inwardly. He did not expect the Great Light Scripture to be so powerful. Looking at the Asuras' lowered brows and extremely submissive faces, he knew that their ferocious nature had been suppressed.
This was conversion. This was the power of Buddhism.
From now on, if there were no accidents, they would obey his orders without question, just like a disciple to their master.
Chu Li smiled. It was a great surprise to be able to control the Asuras.
When Sun Mingyue returned, she would not take back control of these Asuras and would instead demand their secrets. From then on, he would have such a secret force that could be used as a surprise attack at critical times.
The dusk grew darker. A white figure suddenly flashed and Sun Mingyue appeared in front of him.
Chu Li gave a fist salute.
Sun Mingyue glanced at the Asuras around Chu Li and looked at him in surprise. "You …"
Chu Li smiled. "I've been chanting the Great Light Scripture for an entire day. It's working!"
"Good." Sun Mingyue nodded slowly. "You were almost deceived by that guy. You did well. From now on, you'll be in charge of these guys!"
"You didn't find that guy?"
"No." Sun Mingyue frowned and scoffed. "Let's go back to the Great Light Peak first. We'll look for him in a few days!"
Chu Li said, "I have a feeling that he'll get into big trouble. It's better to find him as soon as possible."
Sun Mingyue glared at him before pulling his sleeve and disappearing. The next moment, she appeared in the Divine Light Basilica.
She let go of Chu Li's sleeve and waved her hand. "Go do what you need to do. You can continue your isolated cultivation at the peak or go to the Spirit Medicine Nursery at the First Peak."
"I'll go to the isolated cultivation area," Chu Li said.
He did not want to get too involved with the Great Light Peak. The less he had, the better. He could not stand Zhou Huang being too friendly to him.
Du Ying suddenly entered and curtsied. "My Saint, the people from Stargazing Pavilion have left with the corpses!"
"They're here?" Sun Mingyue frowned. "How many of them?"
"Four of them left with the corpses and went back the way they came."
