Jing Xue extended her white palm. The two gripped tightly. Then, light flashed and circulated around them. Jing Xue's aura grew stronger as if her body was expanding into a giant.
Fifteen minutes later, the overbearing aura vanished. She opened her eyes and smiled. "We've reached the eighth level. I'm even more confident now!"
Chu Li looked at Su Xin.
Su Xin handed over a piece of white jade and said with a smile, "Don't think that cultivation is easy. The further you go, the harder it gets. You need more merit. You're still far from that!"
"Master's Junior, how many people in the sect are above the eighth level?" Jing Xue asked.
"At least twenty," Su Xin said.
Jing Xue grinned. "So we're also in the top twenty?"
"You can say that." Su Xin said, "You should be thinking about how to become first and second. Be careful, don't lose your life!"
She was conflicted.
She was worried that their luck would suddenly run out and they would be killed by the Black Dragon, but there was also a glimmer of hope that they might be able to break the Black Dragon's legend of invincibility.
Chu Li took the Soul Stabilizing Jade.
A warm aura seeped into his palm and flowed up to his mind.
After the warm aura entered the void of his mind, it gradually formed a mist that spread everywhere as if it was blocking the entire void of his mind.
Other than feeling cool and comfortable, he did not feel anything else.
"It really is a treasure," Chu Li praised and handed it to Jing Xue.
Jing Xue took it and felt it carefully. "It can protect the soul, but … there's only one piece."
Su Xin said in a bad mood, "How many of these Natural Oddities do you want? Don't be greedy! "
"How do we use it if there's only one?" Jing Xue asked.
"Isn't that simple?" Su Xin pursed her lips and smiled. "You two hold hands and put the Soul Stabilizing Jade in your palms. Aren't you both holding it?"
"That's true. Look at my brain!" Jing Xue laughed.
Chu Li shook his head. "Junior Sister, I'll go take a look."
Jing Xue's smile slowly faded. She frowned. "Senior Brother, do you think I'm a burden?"
She knew that Chu Li was thinking of her safety, but she did not want to accept his kindness. She did not want him to take the risk alone. Their combined power was four to five times that of one person.
Chu Li smiled. "I have an idea that I'd like to try, but it's inconvenient for two people to do it."
"What thoughts?" Jingxue snorted.
Chu Li said, "I've cultivated a secret skill in the Lower Realm that allows me to communicate with spirit beasts. I might be able to talk to the Mysterious Dragon. If you're here, it'll be more vigilant."
Su Xin said, "Jinru, what secret art is this?"
"Heavenly Spirit Scripture," Chu Li replied.
He didn't think that the Lotus Flower Sect would covet this martial art. Furthermore, the Heavenly Spirit Scripture wasn't something that anyone could cultivate. If the Lotus Flower Sect really wanted it, he would offer it up without hesitation.
If the Lotus Flower Sect wanted it, it meant that it was very important to the Lotus Flower Sect. If they offered it up, they would be able to obtain an enormous amount of merit, which would allow them to rapidly increase their cultivation. In front of cultivation, everything else was nothing.
"Heavenly Spirit Scripture …" Su Xin thought for a while and shook her head. "I've never heard of it. I'll give it a try, but remember …"
"I know, it's better to run for my life." Chu Li smiled.
Su Xin rolled her eyes at him. "I hope you don't forget. Jingxue, let him try!"
"… Alright." Jingxue nodded helplessly. She frowned and said, "Your trip this time was very dangerous …"
Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled. "Let's go."
He suddenly disappeared without a trace in a flash.
Jingxue stomped her foot angrily.
Su Xin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Jinru is still very dependable!"
Jingxue scoffed and said, "Master's Junior, if you didn't say anything just now, I would have followed him!"
"He can't do it himself, and neither can the two of you." Su Xin said, "The Mysterious Dragon can't be defeated by force. The two of you together aren't even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth!"
"That's not certain. We're already on the eighth level now!" Jingxue scoffed and her resentment had yet to dissipate.
Su Xin smiled and shook her head before fluttering away.
Chu Li appeared in the white snowfield and saw the Mysterious Dragon that had become one with the ice and snow. It was currently coiled up into a ball, and there was a deep pit in the center that emitted a faint fragrance.
The fragrance condensed and did not disperse, drifting with the wind like cotton.
Seeing him appear, the Mysterious Dragon's crouching head lifted up, and a silver light flashed across its horns.
Chu Li was dazed for a moment. The mist in the void of his mind quickly surged, dispelling the invading power and regaining clarity.
He broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, the Mysterious Dragon was very confident in its Mind Control Technique and did not directly pounce on him. Otherwise, this would have been fatal.
The Heaven's Spirit Scripture was activated. The Heaven's Spirit Beast that had been lying on the Life and Death Tree yawned lazily and opened its eyes. Its clear eyes seemed to connect with his own.
"Woo …" A long howl echoed in his mind.
Chu Li suddenly had an illusion that he seemed to have transformed into the Heaven's Spirit Beast and was howling at the sky. Then he really did howl at the sky.
When the Mysterious Dragon heard this howl, it stopped moving and looked over in confusion.
At its level, the intelligence of a Spirit Beast was extremely high, even higher than that of a human. At first, it was disdainful of Chu Li, as if it was looking at an ant. However, when it heard this long howl, it suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, and its hostility disappeared.
It immediately realized that there was something strange about this human in front of it. This was a secret technique. Its eyes flashed coldly again, and it made people's hearts palpitate.
Chu Li howled once again.
The coldness in the Mysterious Dragon's eyes faded, and it felt a sense of familiarity towards Chu Li again.
Chu Li took two steps forward and slowly approached the Mysterious Dragon.
Coldness suddenly flashed in the Mysterious Dragon's eyes, and it suddenly pounced at him, as fast as lightning.
"Woo …" Chu Li howled again.
The howl made the Mysterious Dragon stop abruptly. The two horns had already appeared in front of Chu Li, only a fist's distance away. They emitted a faint fragrance, which was different from the fragrance of the Flame Fruit.
As soon as he smelled this fragrance, Chu Li suddenly fell into a trance, and a desire to surrender rose in him. It was as if the Mysterious Dragon in front of him had become towering and tall, turning into a towering mountain, and he was insignificant in front of it.
There was still a trace of clarity in his heart, and he struggled desperately.
The Buddhas and Demons chanted faster, and the sky full of lotuses mixed with the mist, resisting the surging power. The invisible but material power drilled into the void of his mind, and wanted to completely occupy it.
"Ding …" A clear sound came from the lotus wheel hidden in the void.
When he heard this clear sound, his mind suddenly became clear, and then it suddenly disappeared.
In the next moment, he appeared in his own courtyard.
Jingxue was pacing back and forth, and her cold face was full of anxiety. When she saw Chu Li appear, she immediately jumped forward. "Senior Brother?!"
Chu Li's face was as white as a sheet, and his forehead was covered in sweat. He sat down weakly by the stone table.
Jingxue quickly pressed on his back and channeled her inner energy.
Their inner energy merged, and immediately, the energy flowed, nourishing his body, and dispelling his weakness.
"Did you succeed?" Jingxue asked.
Chu Li sighed. "It's more difficult than I thought."
Jingxue said, "Then forget it. The Flame Flower is not the only rare treasure in the world. There are countless rare treasures in the world. We'll just find something else."
Chu Li frowned and pondered.
He still did not give up. He felt that he was just a little short. The Heavenly Spirit Scripture was indeed useful on the Mysterious Dragon, but his cultivation level was a little lower, so he could not control it immediately.
"I want to cultivate the Heavenly Spirit Scripture," Chu Li said slowly.
Jingxue looked at him helplessly. "How can there be any progress?"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
His cultivation level was deeper now, and his spirit was stronger, so the Heavenly Spirit Scripture might be improved.
