Chu Li watched as they dragged their long shadows and disappeared into the sky. He was a little stunned.
He never thought that he could scare off the nine Celestial Beings so easily. The nine Celestial Beings were very powerful. Fa Yuan and Monk Liao Ming would not have been able to handle them. However, he could not believe that they were scared off by his words.
He turned his head and looked around. He was still a little hesitant. Could it be that they were plotting something?
He then shook his head. Under the observation of the Omniscient Mirror, even the Celestial Beings would be able to sense it. Indeed, there was no one else. If the nine Celestial Beings were scared off by him, it seemed that he had made a name for himself as the Celestial Being Killer.
"Boom!" Suddenly, there was a loud thunder in the sky.
A huge pillar of light fell again and enveloped Monk Liao Ming alone. Fa Yuan was bounced off and floated to Chu Li's side.
Monk Liao Ming looked down at the monks and bowed with pressed palms. Then, he followed the pillar of light and rose into the sky.
The huge light door slowly appeared. It was as if it had always been there, but it just hid itself. Now, it returned to its original appearance.
The light door was unusually bright. It lit up half the sky and covered the light of the moon. Half the people in the world would be able to see this huge and majestic light door.
Monk Liao Ming entered the light door. Before he entered the door, he turned around and bowed with pressed palms again.
The monks around the pagoda all bowed and chanted loudly, sending Monk Liao Ming to heaven.
Through the light door, people could vaguely see the buildings behind the door. There were pavilions and terraces with white lotuses floating in the air. It was a breathtaking scene.
The huge light door slowly closed. The sky gradually returned to dusk. Only the bright moon shone brightly. Its clear light shone in the sky. It was quiet and peaceful.
Chu Li turned to Fa Yuan.
Fa Yuan's purple gold robe fluttered. He still had not completely digested the Enlightened Master's power.
When he felt Chu Li's gaze, he opened his eyes. Suddenly, lightning pierced through the sky, almost blinding people.
Chu Li smiled. "Fa Yuan, congratulations. It went so smoothly!"
Fa Yuan bowed with pressed palms and sighed. "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."
He also understood that if Chu Li had not been there to scare off the nine Celestial Beings, it would have been very difficult for him to get through this tonight. Under the siege of the Nine Great Celestial Beings, Honorable Master Liao Ming was completely powerless to resist, and he would have died without a doubt.
Although the Grandmasters had bestowed him the power to become an Enlightened Master, it was impossible for them to help him fight off his enemies. If these Celestial Beings killed him, there might already be Grandmasters waiting on the other side, and they would immediately become Enlightened Masters.
It did not matter if he died, as he had already transcended the limits of life and death. However, if the Tempest Temple were to decline, he would become a sinner.
"From now on, you're an Enlightened Master." Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "How enviable!"
Fa Yuan smiled. "There's no need for Brother Chu to lie to me. An Enlightened Master like me is beneath you."
Chu Li shook his head and did not say anything. "My path is long and boundless. I don't know if I'll be able to walk to the end. It's better if I don't say anything. Let's talk about those Devas first. They're lawless. Since you're an Enlightened Master and can kill them, you should take care of them."
Fa Yuan furrowed his brows and said, "Celestial beings are not to be trifled with. If we can avoid provoking them, we should. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the disciples of the temple will …"
Chu Li scoffed. "Fa Yuan, this doesn't sound like something an Enlightened Master would say!"
Fa Yuan smiled. "What should an Enlightened Master say?"
"You should be fearless, and be the only one in the world!" Chu Li said. "These Celestial Beings need to be taught a lesson. Look at how they were just now, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. As long as you're tough, they won't dare to act recklessly."
"Alright, I'll try my best." Fa Yuan nodded. "When the time comes, I'll need Brother Chu's help."
"Of course!" Chu Li nodded and smiled. "With these fellows causing trouble, the Ji Dynasty will be in chaos. Many innocent people will die, so it's better to kill them all."
Fa Yuan chuckled and shook his head. "Brother Chu, don't be so bloodthirsty. It's not good for your body."
After this incident, he did not have a good impression of the Celestial Beings. He could not wait to get rid of them. However, as a monk, he was compassionate. He could not just shout and kill so openly.
Chu Li said, "Fa Yuan, you're an Enlightened Master now. You don't have to be as reserved as before. It's better to be more carefree."
"That's true." Fa Yuan chuckled. "Brother Chu, come with me."
Chu Li looked at him.
Fa Yuan came to the side of the pagoda and bowed to the monks below. "Honorable Masters, Senior Uncles, Senior Brothers, Junior Brothers, please return to your positions."
"Amitabha!" The monks bowed solemnly with smiles on their faces.
An Enlightened Master returning to the Tempest Temple was more important than anything else. Although Master Liao Ming had ascended to heaven, the Tempest Temple had one less Enlightened Master. Now that Fa Yuan had taken over the Enlightened Master's position, the Tempest Temple was still number one in the Ji Dynasty.
Chu Li followed Fa Yuan down the pagoda and arrived at an unfamiliar Zen courtyard.
The atmosphere in the Zen courtyard was different from Fa Yuan's.
It was antique. The trees in the courtyard were all ancient trees. They were strong and thick, and the spiritual energy was rich. The green brick floor had been polished. Everywhere revealed the vicissitudes of time. It made one's heart calm.
"This is?" Chu Li looked at the Zen courtyard and smiled. "This is a good place. The spiritual energy from hundreds of miles is gathered here. The person who built this courtyard must be a top-notch Formation Master."
"Yes, this was built by the Ancestral Masters. It is the residence of every Enlightened Master." Fa Yuan nodded.
He looked at the antique courtyard with a complicated expression. This was the place of his dreams. Now, he had finally achieved his goal. He had become an Enlightened Master and did not disappoint the Ancestral Masters.
Chu Li smiled. "This place does not bury the identity of an Enlightened Master. Why did you bring me here?"
Fa Yuan smiled and walked into the main house. He quickly came out and handed Chu Li an antique jade box.
The jade box seemed to be made of poor quality broken jade. It could have been that it had been here for too long. Time had corroded the fine jade into this state.
Chu Li smiled and took it. When he opened the jade box, he saw an antique silk book lying in the box. There were three big words on the cover: "Sparrow Taming Technique".
"Hmm — —?" Chu Li's eyes widened. He turned to look at Fa Yuan.
Fa Yuan smiled. "This is a secret manual in the temple's collection. However, because it is not compatible with our Dharma, no one has cultivated it. It is hidden in the Rare Scripture Pavilion and no one has asked about it."
Chu Li laughed. "You don't have to say more. Those old monks must know about this heart technique but they did not want to give it to me."
Fa Yuan smiled awkwardly but did not deny it.
Chu Li shook his head. "Fa Yuan, none of the old monks in your temple are good. They are really cunning. If I don't help you this time, will I never get this Sparrow Taming Technique?"
"Of course not." Fa Yuan smiled embarrassedly. "Brother Chu, the fate between you and this heart technique was not right."
After he became an Enlightened Master, he had absolute control over the Tempest Temple. If he knew about this secret manual, he would not be stingy and give it to Chu Li.
However, he did not know about it before. It was the elders who deliberately hid it from him.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled as he flipped through the book.
This was the real Vermillion Power Technique.
He tried to comprehend it as he flipped through it. When he finished flipping through it, he could already determine that this secret manual was the real Vermillion Power Technique.
Since then, he had gathered all four Spirit Beast heart techniques. Although two of them were incomplete, he could see the light. He was only a small step away from truly cultivating them and becoming an Enlightened Master!
