Chu Li quickly said, "Leader, an Innate Master can't move an inch in the Hundred-Thousand Hills, right? If you encounter a powerful spirit beast, I'm afraid … "
"It's okay. Although I'm only at the Innate Mastery's Boundary, I have the Ageless Longevity Technique. Even if I encounter a powerful spirit beast, I can swallow it. Moreover, those spirit beasts are very arrogant. If they encounter an Innate Mastery like me, they won't even bother. "
"Moreover, you have the Sacrificial Divine Technique," Elder Fang said slowly.
Song Zhifan smiled, "Exactly! With ten times the Innate Mastery's Boundary and the Ageless Longevity Technique, you are comparable to a Grandmaster. As long as you don't provoke those rank two and rank one spirit beasts, you can easily protect yourself. "
"But what if you encounter rank two or even rank one spirit beasts?" Chu Li asked.
Song Zhifan said, "They won't care about me."
"Anyway, I still feel that it's dangerous," Chu Li sighed.
Song Zhifan said, "How can there be a huge gain without any risk in this world?"
Chu Li said, "But it's too dangerous. Why don't you train hard and defeat Chu Li with hard work?"
Song Zhifan scoffed, "I'm training hard and so is he."
"But his Dragon Taming Technique is not very powerful. It's impossible to beat our Ageless Longevity Technique," Chu Li quickly said.
Song Zhifan shook his head, "He can't be underestimated. Anyway, I've made up my mind. There's no need to say more!"
Chu Li sighed helplessly, "Leader, please reconsider."
"Shut up!" Song Zhifan's face darkened. He stared at him coldly, "Are you arrogant because of my favor? Do you think you can influence my decision?"
"I don't dare!" Chu Li quickly said.
Elder Fang said, "Forget it, Leader. He's just trying his best. He doesn't know how powerful you are."
Song Zhifan glared at Chu Li, "You will return to the floating mountain today. You are not allowed to leave the mountain without my permission!"
"Yes," Chu Li sighed helplessly.
Elder Fang shook her head.
She realized that ever since the Leader left the mountain, his temper changed. He became more stubborn and could not be persuaded. Her advice was unpleasant to the ear and the Leader would not listen to it. It was better to say less to avoid alienating him.
After the meal, Chu Li and Elder Fang returned to the floating mountain.
The two of them used their Qing Gong to leave the valley.
"Bishop's move is too dangerous." Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "It's not a wise move. It's a desperate move."
"Sect Leader has no other choice." Elder Fang said, "Originally, I thought that it would be a piece of cake to obtain the Heaven Slaughtering Sword, and from then on, I would proudly roam the world without anyone being able to control it. The Floating Mountain would dominate the Pugilistic World in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect that there would be so many setbacks at this step, and I couldn't succeed time and time again. Although he didn't return to the Cult, he must have guessed that the opposing voices in the Cult are getting louder and louder. If this continues, I'm afraid that in less than a year, all the Elders will oppose coming out of the mountain and force the Cult Leader to take back his decision."
"I see." Chu Li suddenly understood.
Elder Fang said, "However, if Cult Master can settle down and return to the floating mountain to cultivate for another year, there will be fewer opponents in the cult. Those stubborn old people like to play it safe."
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "The bishop is still holding back his anger against them."
"Sigh." Elder Fang shook her head. "I shouldn't have said these words to you."
Chu Li said, "I won't tell anyone."
Two days later, Chu Li returned to the floating mountain and began to cultivate in isolation in his courtyard.
— —
The air on the floating mountain in the early morning was exceptionally fresh. Chu Li suddenly appeared in front of Dong Jianxin's basilica and saw that Dong Jianxin was slowly practicing his fist art in his courtyard. His movements were leisurely and at ease.
After not seeing him for a while, Dong Jianxin had improved greatly. It was obvious that he had gained a lot from his isolated cultivation.
"Senior Brother." He took a step into Dong Jianxin's courtyard, gave a fist salute, and smiled. "Are you still in isolation?"
"Isolation can't stop you." Dong Jianxin scoffed. "Take a seat."
He withdrew his stance and went to the stone table in the courtyard to sit down.
Chu Li sat opposite him and took out a snow-white silver ring the size of a bowl. He handed it to Dong Jianxin. "Senior Brother, do you recognize this?"
"Huh?" Dong Jianxin was stunned. He quickly snatched the silver ring and said in surprise, "Could this be … could this be a Spirit Beast Ring?"
"Yes." Chu Li smiled. "It seems that Senior Brother recognizes this item."
"You actually got your hands on a Spirit Beast Ring!" Dong Jianxin stared at the Spirit Beast Ring excitedly. He gently caressed it as if he was caressing a beautiful woman's snow-white skin. He was extremely careful and gentle, afraid that he would damage it.
Chu Li said, "I got this item by chance. Senior Brother, do you know what it's used for?"
"This Spirit Beast Ring is very useful!" Dong Jianxin said excitedly. "This is a unique artifact of the Spirit Beast Sect."
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Brother, please dispel my doubts!"
Dong Jianxin carefully caressed the Spirit Beast Ring and sighed. "This item can tame Spirit Beasts. It's a powerful treasure."
"Tame." Chu Li pondered. "In other words, it can defeat Spirit Beasts while being weak?"
"That's right." Dong Jianxin nodded. "The reason why the Spirit Beast Sect was so powerful back then was because of the Spirit Beast Ring. Without the Spirit Beast Ring, even the Dragon Taming Technique would be useless. They couldn't control Spirit Beasts at all! The Spirit Beast Sect wasn't like us now. If we want to tame a dragon, we have to start from a snake and cultivate it for hundreds of years. The Spirit Beast Sect didn't cultivate Spirit Beasts themselves. Instead, they directly controlled Spirit Beasts and used the Spirit Beast Ring to turn them into their mounts. Spirit Beasts weren't companions or friends, they were just subordinates. Think about how prestigious it was! "
Chu Li smiled. "Can you tame a Rank One Golden Dragon as well?"
"Of course!" Dong Jianxin said slowly.
Chu Li shook his head. "It's hard to imagine. That's a Rank One Golden Dragon!"
"As long as you're an Enlightened Master, you can turn a Golden Dragon into a mount." Dong Jianxin revealed a hint of fanaticism. In the end, he sighed and shook his head. "It's a pity that the Spirit Beast Sect has been destroyed. It's really a decline after its prosperity."
Chu Li said, "Senior Brother, do you know how to use this Spirit Beast Ring?"
"As far as I know, it needs to be sacrificially refined first." Dong Jianxin sighed. "But it's useless for you. Master is fine. Unfortunately, he already has a Golden Dragon. He doesn't need it."
Chu Li asked, "Why is it useless?"
"Because only Enlightened Masters can sacrifice this." Dong Jianxin shook the Spirit Beast Ring lightly.
Chu Li frowned. "Enlightened Masters?"
Dong Jianxin said, "Only Enlightened Masters can control Spirit Beast Rings. Grandmasters are useless."
"I want to try," Chu Li said.
"Alright." Dong Jianxin said, "I know how to sacrifice it. I'll find it for you now."
This Junior Brother of his could do what others couldn't. He might be able to break through the limits of Grandmasters and Enlightened Masters.
Chu Li was overjoyed. He gave a fist salute.
Dong Jianxin waved his hand and stood up. He returned to his basilica and found a thick ancient book on the bookshelf. He returned to Chu Li and handed it to him. "This is the sacrifice method for the Spirit Beast Ring. Try it yourself. But remember not to force yourself. Otherwise, you'll suffer from internal deviation!"
Chu Li took the ancient book and nodded with a smile. "Senior Brother, please protect me."
"Alright." Dong Jianxin said.
Chu Li immediately flipped open the ancient book as if he was just flipping through a book. He did not stop to read. After a short while, he finished flipping through the ancient book and closed his eyes to meditate.
