The Tian Luo Sect acted quickly. The next evening, Yue Ru handed him a blade manual.
The two of them were sitting in a room on the second floor.
There was a table full of delicious dishes and a pot of good wine. Chu Li had been cultivating for the whole day and wanted to relax. He had been using the Green Bamboo Residence all this time.
He put down the wine glass and accepted the blade manual with a smile. "Thank you, thank you."
Yue Ru held the pot and filled his glass. "Big Brother Zhao, I don't understand. Why are you studying blade techniques now?"
The two of them were getting closer and she was no longer polite to Young Master Zhao.
"The Light Blade is also a blade technique." Chu Li looked at the blade manual. "I want to improve the Light Blade, so I need to learn by analogy."
Yue Ru sat across him elegantly. "The Light Blade is already at the ninth level. It's already so powerful. Do you still want to improve it?"
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
"The Single Slice of the Universe." Chu Li looked at the four words on the blade manual and smiled. "This blade technique has quite an imposing name."
"It's said that this blade technique is earth-shattering and earth-shattering," Yue Ru said. "However, there's a flaw — it's difficult to cultivate!"
Chu Li smiled. "I like martial arts that are difficult to cultivate!"
The more difficult the martial arts, the more advantageous it was for him. The Omniscient Mirror and his powerful spiritual energy had given him extraordinary wisdom and comprehension. It was easy for him to cultivate martial arts.
He slowly flipped open the blade manual. It was not just a page that he had imagined. Instead, it was a set of heart techniques and thirty-six blade techniques.
These thirty-six forms were called the Energy Nurturing Forms. The Single Slice of the Universe was a separate blade technique that was combined with a complicated heart technique. However, there was only one blade technique.
The thirty-six energy-nurturing forms were a method to cultivate inner energy. Each form produced a trace of inner energy that was accumulated in the body. The accumulated inner energy was then used to activate the Single Slice of the Universe. Its power was earth-shattering. The heaven and earth could be broken with one blade, and the universe could be cut with one blade.
Chu Li frowned. This was too arrogant. The heaven and earth could be broken with one blade, and the universe could be cut with one blade. He knew that such a blade technique did not exist. The exaggeration was not credible.
Seeing his frown, Yue Ru said, "Do you think the blade manual is too arrogant?"
Chu Li raised his head and smiled. "I've never heard of such a powerful blade technique."
"According to Master, this blade technique is indeed very powerful. It has been passed down since ancient times, but after the great changes in the world, the spirit beasts moved into the Hundred-Thousand Hills and the spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth became sparse. Hence, the power of this blade technique became much weaker," Yue Ru said, "If this blade technique was mastered during ancient times, it would indeed be powerful enough to split mountains and rivers."
"Looks like it's a good blade technique." Chu Li smiled. "Alright then, I'll practice it."
"Big Brother Zhao, don't forget that inner energy is still the most important thing," Yue Ru said. "It's better for you to cultivate your inner energy during the day. You can study your blade techniques at night when you have the time."
"That's what I was thinking." Chu Li smiled.

As the sun set in the west, Chu Li appeared in his courtyard. There were already three people standing in the courtyard — Li Ruolan and two middle-aged men.
Under the slanted rays of the setting sun, Li Ruolan was graceful and charming. Her charming eyes flashed with an apologetic look.
The two middle-aged men had gloomy expressions on their faces. Their bodies were emitting a cold aura, causing people to shrink back.
"Miss Ruolan, these two are?" Chu Li fist saluted and looked at Li Ruolan.
Li Ruolan said, "These two are Li Changsheng and Zhao Yuanhao from the torture chamber. They're responsible for carrying out the punishment."
Chu Li frowned. "What punishment?"
Li Ruolan took a deep breath and said sternly, "The Saint has already punished you by crippling your inner energy. Since it's pardonable, she won't take back the inheritance and won't expel you from the Holy Church. Are you satisfied?"
"Alright." Chu Li nodded helplessly. "I have nothing to say. Did these two do it to cripple my inner energy?"
"That's right." Li Ruolan nodded.
Chu Li smiled. "There's no need to trouble them. I'll do it myself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out a long sword from his waist and stabbed it into his Dantian.
"Pfft." He spat out a mouthful of blood. His essence, spirit, and spirit dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The aura around his body quickly weakened and the light in his eyes became weaker.
In the blink of an eye, his inner energy disappeared and he returned to being an ordinary person.
"You …" Li Ruolan was annoyed. "Nonsense!"
Chu Li pulled out his sword and blood spurted out. Li Ruolan quickly went forward to seal his acupuncture point to stop the bleeding.
Chu Li wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and scoffed. "Since it's the Saint's order, how can I disobey? Are you satisfied now?"
"You don't have to suffer such serious injuries." Li Ruolan shook her head. "What are you trying to show off! Both of you, come and take a look. "
The skinny Li Changsheng went forward and put his hand on Chu Li's wrist. A cold force quickly circled around his body and finally landed on his Dantian before disappearing.
He let go of his hand and nodded. "His martial arts are indeed crippled and his Dantian is damaged. It'll take some time for him to cultivate again."
The other middle-aged man, Zhao Yuanhao, said with a gloomy expression, "Unfortunately, he won't be able to make it to the martial arts competition."
"He's a cripple. He can only watch others compete," Li Changsheng said.
"What a pity." Zhao Yuanhao shook his head and looked at Chu Li. "If we fought, he wouldn't have suffered such serious injuries. He'll recover in half a month and cultivate again."
Chu Li said coldly, "Thank you for your kindness. Don't worry, I have a strong recovery ability. It won't take long for me to recover my cultivation."
"Is that so? That's a good thing. "Zhao Yuanhao nodded." Then I wish you success and become an inner mountain disciple! "
Chu Li scoffed. "It's all thanks to you!"
Li Ruolan stared at the two and said, "Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Zhao, if there's nothing else, please leave."
"Alright, we'll take our leave." Zhao Yuanhao and Li Changsheng fist saluted and left.
Li Ruolan frowned as she watched them leave.
She was surprised that the two did not fall for her trap and did not play any tricks. They were so honest. It seemed that the Saint's prestige was getting deeper and deeper.
She quickly took out a jade bottle and poured out a snow-white pill. Then, she stuffed it into Chu Li's mouth.
Chu Li obediently opened his thick lips and swallowed the pill.
Li Ruolan let out a sigh of relief and glared at him.
Chu Li chuckled. "What's this?"
"Poison!" Li Ruolan scoffed. "You're too impulsive!"
Chu Li said, "I think they're up to no good. It's better for me to do it myself!"
"You …" Li Ruolan shook her head helplessly.
Zhao Dahe looked silly but he was very sharp. He sensed the two's evil intentions. This move had cut off the possibility of them playing tricks. It was a smart move.
Chu Li felt a strong life force quickly encircling his body and rushed into his Dantian to speed up the recovery of his Dantian.
"This is the Miracle Cure Pill. It's a gift from the Saint. With this pill, your injuries will recover quickly and your skills will recover. Consider it a reward for your selflessness," Li Ruolan said.
Chu Li smiled. "Thank you, Saint."
