Chu Li frowned, "Is that because of the Sword Manipulation Technique?"
"That's right!" Song Zhifan nodded, "Without the Sword Manipulation Technique, the Regal Sky Sword is only sharper but its power is less than half. In Chu Li's hands, it's just a precious sword that can cut through iron like mud. In my hands, it'll be even stronger."
"Then we really have to take it." Chu Li gasped in admiration. "Chu Li has been very proud of himself recently. He's like the sun in the sky. If you can defeat him, you'll naturally become famous. Everyone in the world will know about you, and the Longevity Church will also raise its banner!"
"What do you mean raise our flag!" Lu Jun snorted, "That sounds so bad!"
Chu Li smiled, "Then you really want to wait a month?"
"I want Chu Li to be convinced. I don't mind waiting for a month," Song Zhifan said, "I've waited for more than a thousand years, one more month won't make a difference."
Chu Li said, "Has your lifespan reached a thousand years?"
"Haha!" Lu Jun laughed, "My lifespan is about the same as Chu Li's. Why are you looking at me like that?"
Chu Li chuckled, "You're calm and collected. I thought you were an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life or even older than me. I also heard that you're cultivating the Ageless Longevity Technique. You might be able to stay young forever. That's why I made this guess."
"You're smart." Song Zhifan shook his head and smiled, "Cultivating the Ageless Longevity Technique does make me look young forever. I'll keep this look even if I'm a hundred or two hundred years old."
Chu Li exclaimed, "If I cultivate the Ageless Longevity Technique now, is it too late?"
"Of course it's too late," Song Zhifan nodded.
Chu Li said, "Then how about I join the Church of Longevity?"
"It's not that easy to become a disciple of the Church of Longevity!" Lu Jun scoffed, "You'll need to go through many tests. You're not qualified yet. You haven't contributed much to the church!"
Chu Li smiled, "Then how much do I have to contribute to get into the church?"
"If it's a big contribution, just one." Lu Jun said, "But if it's a small contribution, it depends on the situation. Not less than eight or ten. Fortunately, you're a Grandmaster. It's easier than the average disciple."
Chu Li said, "You must give me a chance to contribute. I want to join the church."
Song Zhifan smiled and nodded.
He was proud of himself. Baili Na was so arrogant and reserved in the beginning, but now, he could not wait to join the Changshen Sect. Unfortunately, the disciples of the Changshen Sect were carefully selected and all of them were outstanding talents. They were different from the Foreign Ministers.
Joining the sect meant becoming a true family. Guest elders were just companions.
Lu Jun said, "Cult Master, isn't he too old?"
"It's alright," Song Zhifan said, "As long as I cultivate the Ageless Longevity Technique, I'll be able to recover to my peak."
"Can it really be restored to its peak?" Chu Li's eyes widened.
"It's a piece of cake," Lu Jun said proudly.
Chu Li hurriedly replied, "Alright then, what other instructions do you have for me, Bishop?"
"Then you go with Little Lu to send a letter," Song Zhifan muttered.
"Alright!" Chu Li answered without hesitation.
Lu Jun said, "Cult Master, I can do it myself."
"One more person is good." Song Zhifan said, "We don't know what the Divine Blood Church has become. You're too impatient. Baili Na will be in charge of this matter."
"Cult Master!" Lu Jun's face turned red. "I'm just delivering a letter. How can I mess it up!"
Song Zhifan looked at him faintly.
"Yes!" Lu Jun closed fist saluted.
Song Zhifan took out a letter from his pocket and passed it to Chu Li. "This is a letter for the Divine Blood Church. Go with Little Lu and personally deliver it to Huang Tianhe."
"Yes." Chu Li took it without hesitation. "Do I need him to reply?"
"It depends on him." Song Zhifan said, "After you go, take a closer look at his expression."
Chu Li hesitated for a moment before saying, "Cult Master, what's our relationship with Huang Tianhe?"
"The Divine Blood Church was originally a branch of the Church of Longevity. It's not called the Divine Blood Church, but the Temple of the Blood God." Song Zhifan said, "Later on, we decided to hide from the world, but there were disagreements within the church. The people from the Temple of the Blood God were hot-blooded and hot-tempered. They were unwilling to submit, so they left and established the Divine Blood Church."
Chu Li was surprised. "The Divine Blood Church is a branch of the Church of Longevity?"
"Now you know how powerful we are?" Lu Jun said proudly.
Chu Li sighed and said, "I never thought it would be like this."
"But after more than a thousand years, the Divine Blood Church has already gained a firm foothold and is steadily becoming one of the eight major sects in the Fu Dynasty. No one knows if they still acknowledge their origins or if they want to return to the main church," Song Zhifan said, "I should have gone there myself."
Chu Li quickly shook his head. "You can't act rashly, Cult Master. Once you go there yourself, there will be no turning back!"
"That's right." Song Zhifan nodded in satisfaction.
In terms of worldly wisdom and strategies, Lu Jun was definitely not as good as Baili Na. If he wanted to take on a big responsibility, he still needed to hone his skills. At the moment, it seemed that Baili Na was more convenient to use.
Chu Li said, "Alright, I will test him."
"Huang Tianhe is also a cunning person," Song Zhifan said, "You don't have to ask for too much, just mention my battle with Chu Li."
Chu Li fist saluted and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Cult Master. I will be careful."
"That's good." Song Zhifan nodded. "Young Lu, you must respect Baili Na along the way. You cannot make decisions on your own!"
"Yes," Lu Jun said helplessly. "I will obey Cult Master's orders!"
"Go!" Song Zhifan waved his hand.
Chu Li carefully put the letter in his pocket, turned around and strode away. Lu Jun followed closely behind him.

In the early morning, Chu Li and Lu Jun were hurrying on their way.
Lu Jun scoffed. Although the Cult Master had instructed him to listen to Baili Na, he did not have to listen to him unless it was a big matter. Baili Na was only a Foreign Minister, his status was much lower than Lu Jun's. It was still uncertain if he could enter the Cult in the future.
"Baili Na, don't be so smug. Although my Light-body Technique is not as good as yours, if we really fight, I can take on two of you!" Lu Jun scoffed.
His handsome face was red and he was panting.
The two of them secretly competed with their Light-body Technique. After running for an entire night, Lu Jun was so tired that he was dizzy and exhausted. He could not hold on any longer.
However, even if he could not hold on any longer, he would not admit defeat verbally.
Chu Li shook his head. "Don't think that you're the only one who knows the Sacrificial Divine Power. I know it too."
"Haha!" Lu Jun laughed and suddenly coughed violently.
Chu Li said, "Energy comes from Infinity, and Infinity comes from Yin and Yang. Yin energy enters the lungs, and Yang energy enters the kidneys. When Yin and Yang are combined, energy will multiply."
He recited the first ten verses of the Sacrificial Formula.
"You — —!" Lu Jun looked at him in surprise.
Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror stared at Lu Jun's mind.
Although Lu Jun's cultivation level was high, he could not block the Omniscient Mirror's prying.
Chu Li said proudly, "This is the Sacrificial Divine Power, right?"
"How do you know this?" Lu Jun asked.
"I got it by accident," Chu Li said, "I've always been lucky."
"Haha, that's rare." Lu Jun shook his head and said proudly, "This is not the Sacrificial Divine Power. It's just a small part of it. Its power is far from it!"
Chu Li said, "Which part is wrong?"
The Omniscient Mirror stared at Lu Jun's mind, trying to find out the Sacrificial Divine Power's incantation.
Once he obtained the Sacrificial Divine Power, he would have the power to fight back against Song Zhifan.
He had set a deadline of a month because he wanted to obtain and cultivate the Sacrificial Divine Power within a month.
