"Can I leave the mountain?" Chu Li asked.
"Up to you." Zhou Dunli nodded. "The disciples of Goddess Attraction Mountain are very free. You can cultivate however you want. You can cultivate on the mountain or at the foot of the mountain. You can cultivate in the mortal world."
Chu Li smiled.
Zhou Dunli said, "But there's one condition. If you cause trouble outside, you can only deal with it yourself. I can't leave Goddess Attraction Mountain unless you're killed."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Zhou Dunli smiled. "Your Senior Brother Dong Jianxin has cultivated to the third level. If you work hard, you might be able to surpass him. The Enlightened Master position might be yours."
"I can only become an Enlightened Master when I've perfected the Dragon Taming Technique?"
"No need." Zhou Dunli shook his head. "Whoever has the higher level will become an Enlightened Master in ten years. You can continue cultivating the Dragon Taming Technique after you become an Enlightened Master."
"Ten years." Chu Li nodded.
Zhou Dunli said, "I'll enter the Grandmaster's Boundary after ten years and rarely return. The Enlightened Master is either you or Jianxin. After another sixty years, it'll be passed down to the next generation."
Chu Li asked, "Only one Enlightened Master?"
"Yes." Zhou Dunli nodded. "Both of you can't be Enlightened Masters. But, it's hard to say. How old are you?"
"Twenty-one." Chu Li said.
Zhou Dunli smiled. "Looks like even if you fail the next time, there'll be a next time."
Chu Li looked at him doubtfully.
Zhou Dunli said, "An Enlightened Master must be under a hundred years old. After a hundred years, you can't become an Enlightened Master. Ten years later, when Jianxin becomes an Enlightened Master, you'll be ninety years old. Your cultivation level and age match. You must be an Enlightened Master. It's a pity for Zhou Jie."
He had a headache thinking about it.
Zhou Jie and Chu Li were the same age. Once Chu Li became an Enlightened Master, Zhou Jie would have no chance.
Goddess Attraction Mountain was not this troublesome. It was passed down from generation to generation. Although there was only one disciple, it was peaceful and there were no such troubles. Now that it was involved in the battle for Enlightened Master, it could lead to a disaster.
Chu Li said, "Master, I heard a rumor that those who cultivate the Dragon Taming Technique have a chance to become an Enlightened Master."
Zhou Dunli shook his head. "It's just a rumor, it's not proven."
Chu Li nodded.
Zhou Dunli stared at him and said, "If you can cultivate the Art of Dragon Control to perfection, you can give it a try. But the prerequisite is that you must first cultivate the Art of Dragon Control to perfection. Don't get distracted and lose the big picture because of a small thing."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded.
He looked at Zhou Dunli's expression. This path of defying the heavens and becoming a deity was feasible. Otherwise, Zhou Dunli would have directly denied it. He could enter and exit the Sky Beyond Heaven, so he must have a deeper understanding than the other deities.
This gave him confidence and made him even more determined to practice the Art of Dragon Control. However, he had been channeling inner force into it for so long, and he had not stopped circulating it as he spoke. The jade pendant in his hand was getting brighter and brighter, but it was only brighter and nothing else.
"Cultivate well." Zhou Dunli smiled. "Next time, just ring the bell directly."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded.
Zhou Dunli strode out of the basilica and let out a long howl into the sky. The howl reverberated in the air, causing Zhou Dunli's vigor to tremble. Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture circulated automatically to suppress any abnormalities.
A deafening dragon roar came from the horizon. Then, a dragon glowing with golden light gracefully emerged from the clouds.
Zhou Dunli leaped up and flew straight up. When he reached the highest point and was about to fall, the golden dragon suddenly sped up and caught him. It soared into the sky again and soon disappeared into the clouds without a trace.
Chu Li looked at the golden dragon and thought about the Evil Nether Dragon. He smiled and shook his head.
They were both dragons, but the difference was too big. The Evil Nether Dragon was much weaker in front of this golden dragon. It might not even be able to withstand a claw. Moreover, it was ugly. Compared to the elegance and beauty of this dragon, it was too ugly.
After a long time, Zhou Jie floated over.
Chu Li sized him up and nodded with a smile.
Zhou Jie forced a smile and closed fist saluted. "Someone is looking for you, Master's Junior Chu."
When Master's Junior Chu said this, he had goosebumps all over his body. It was so disgusting that he wanted to slap his own ears.
"Looking for me?" Chu Li smiled. "There are people who can come to Goddess Attraction Mountain to look for someone?"
"As long as they shout at the bottom of Goddess Attraction Mountain, we can hear them," Zhou Jie said. "They've been shouting for a while. I think we should go down and take a look, or else we won't be able to have peace."
His gaze was fixed on the jade pendant in Chu Li's hands. He could tell at a glance that it was the Inheritance Jade Pendant and inside it was the Dragon Taming Technique.
When he saw this jade pendant, he was envious and jealous but helpless.
With this, Chu Li was definitely his Master's Junior Uncle. It could not be changed. Even if Master came out of isolation, he could not change this fact. Chu Li was indeed his Master's Junior Uncle!
Chu Li put the Inheritance Jade Pendant in his arms and glided down the stairs. He sat on a white crane and glided down.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he saw ten people in the forest at the foot of the mountain.
The leader of the group was a young man with a tall and strong body. He had a tough appearance and a masculine aura. Nine middle-aged Grandmasters surrounded him and protected him tightly. It was impossible for them to sneak an attack on him.
When Chu Li landed on the crane in front of them, the nine middle-aged masters changed their formation and formed two rows with the masculine young man behind them. They stared at Chu Li fiercely and their bodies tensed up.
They could feel Chu Li's tyrannical strength. His mountainous and ocean-like aura rushed towards them and could crush them at any time.
Chu Li's gaze fell on the young man's face. He said lightly, "I'm Chu Li."
Tang Ye pushed the Protectors aside and came in front of Chu Li. He closed fist saluted and smiled. "Chief Chu, I've heard a lot about you. I'm Tang Ye!"
Chu Li nodded. "So it's the Third Prince. Forgive me for not recognizing you. We don't know each other, right?"
He was trying to guess Tang Ye's background.
As expected of the Fu Dynasty's Prince and Royal Highness, Tang Ye actually had several treasured weapons on him that concealed his thoughts and cultivation level. Even though the Omniscient Mirror could not see him clearly, Tang Ye's cultivation level was not low. He was also a master in the Grandmaster's Boundary.
"I'm here because of Miss Lu Yurong," Tang Ye said slowly.
Chu Li nodded and looked at him without saying a word. He was listening attentively.
Tang Ye said, "I fell in love with Miss Lu at first sight. I couldn't help myself."
Chu Li frowned and his face darkened.
Tang Ye sighed. "I've seen many beauties and all of them were stunning. The only one who could truly move my heart is Miss Lu!"
Chu Li said in a low voice, "What do you mean, Third Prince?"
"As far as I know, Chief Chu has a wife," Tang Ye said.
Chu Li said, "Third Prince also has a consort?"
Tang Ye shook his head and smiled. "That can't be compared. Our identities are different. I'm a descendant of the Emperor. Of course, I need a consort. However, Chief Chu is different. The Third Lady of the House of High Duke has deep feelings for you. She didn't look down on you because of your insignificant status. Instead, she promoted you from an unranked Scribe to a Chief. She's your benefactor. How can you let her down?"
Chu Li smiled.
