"That's right …" Feng Wugou sighed and said, "We can't do things slowly anymore. Our Heavenly Divine Mountain also needs to change our way of life, we need to advance bravely. We've already rested for too long, our essence energy has scattered, we've truly become cripples."
Mo Qingcong said with a smile, "Everyone looks lazy, but we've actually been working hard to cultivate. Unfortunately, the progress of the Azure Cloud Sword Invitation has been slow. If we could comprehend it, then dealing with the Heavenly Demons would be as easy as flipping our hands!"
"How can it be so easy?" Feng Wugou shook her head and said, "In my opinion, not a single person can comprehend this Bluecloud Sword Invitation."
"I heard that Big Brother Sun, who is currently comprehending the scrolls, has a high chance of succeeding," Mo Qingcong said.
Feng Wugou chuckled and shook her head.
Mo Qingcong said, "Could it be wrong?"
"Up until now, he can't even comprehend four characters, much less sixteen." Feng Wugou shook her head. "I still can't count on him."
"Don't tell me we have no hope at all?" Mo Qingcong lamented. "Don't tell me we can only hide from the Heavenly Demon like this?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. It takes time to accumulate," Feng Wugou said. "Compared to the Heavenly Demons, we're still considered young."
Mo Qingcong was somewhat dejected.
Feng Wugou said, "Time, time. What we lack now is time. As long as we master the Giant Spirit Fist and the Azure Cloud Sword Calligraphy, we will have the ability to restrain the Heavenly Demon. As for now …"
He shook his head as he spoke.
Mo Qingcong sighed and nodded, rousing his spirits, "Alright then, let's hurry up and rescue Big Brother Wu and conquer the humans. If we can't succeed, let's leave this world immediately."
Feng Wugou nodded.
The two of them disappeared.
In the next moment, Chu Li and Shen Xing appeared where they were previously.
At this time, only half of the mountain peak remained. The surrounding mountains made this place look like a valley, covered by the mountains on all sides.
Chu Li looked around and shook his head. "It has indeed disappeared."
"Don't tell me he really didn't die?" Shen Xing frowned and said, "He was beaten to the point where his soul was scattered and his flesh and blood disappeared, but he still didn't die?"
"The Heavenly Demon …" Chu Li shook his head. "Based on my estimation, the Heavenly Demon isn't made of flesh and blood. That's why it's immortal."
"It exists as a spirit?" Shen Xing suddenly understood.
Chu Li said, "I'm not sure if I've guessed correctly, but do you know anything about the Heavenly Demon?"
"I will go inquire." Shen Xing said, "Come back in a few days."
Chu Li nodded, grabbed her sleeve and disappeared.
The next moment, he sent Shen Xing back to the Paramount Monarch Sect. Then, he flashed to Jingxue's courtyard and observed with the Great Perfection Mystic Void Mirror.
Jingxue was practicing her swordplay in the training grounds.
The Heavenly Dragon City was a bustling metropolis and the Heavenly Dragon Sect was located in the center of the city.
At first glance, it didn't look like a martial arts sect, but more like a prince's mansion or a marquis's mansion, magnificent and imposing.
The guard in front of the door was tall and vigorous, and his aura was extraordinary.
In the back garden, there was a spacious training field. It was bustling with activity. Most of the disciples were training here.
He practiced martial arts during the day and Qi at night.
During the day, the disciples would gather together to practice martial arts, and at night, they would sit alone on the couch in the house to meditate and practice their inner force. This was their regular life.
As soon as Chu Li appeared, Jingxue sensed it and returned to her courtyard with her sword.
The two of them sat in the pavilion in the courtyard and chatted.
Chu Li told them about what he had seen and his plans.
Two heads were better than one. Chu Li knew that his thinking was limited after all. He needed Jingxue's supreme wisdom to make up for his shortcomings.
Jingxue pursed her lips and smiled. "I didn't expect you to reach this level, Senior Brother. Your luck is truly nature-defying."
It was impossible to achieve this with the slightest mistake, but he had reached this step without any mistakes. It could be said that his luck was nature-defying.
Chu Li felt that it was very likely that the Destiny Lock he had snatched from Li Feiyu had taken effect. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so lucky.
Chu Li said, "The situation has become critical. My original plan won't work."
According to his original plan, he was to be the vanguard against the Lotus Sect and the Paramount Sect.
He might not be given such an opportunity now.
"I can only try my best," Jingxue said. "But I have some impression of this Heavenly Demon. It seems to be something out of the void."
Chu Li frowned. "There are Heavenly Demons in this world?"
"I've seen a notebook that recorded a legend." Jingxue frowned in thought as she tried hard to recall.
She had a photographic memory, so she quickly recalled. She slowly said, "Heavenly Demons are formless and can kill without a trace. More importantly, they can completely transform into another person and use their body as a weapon."
Chu Li understood at once. He said in a low voice, "Snatch the soul and control the body?"
"Something like that." Jingxue nodded. "But it's also different."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Jingxue said, "Heavenly Demons use the negative thoughts of the world as nourishment. According to Buddhism, everyone has a Buddhist nature and a demonic nature."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Jingxue shook her head. "Buddhism says that everyone can become a Buddha, but it doesn't say that everyone can become a demon."
Chu Li smiled. "That's natural."
Jingxue said, "Once the demonic nature is eliminated, one can become a Buddha. Similarly, once one's Buddhist nature is eliminated, one can become a demon."
Chu Li said thoughtfully, "In that case, it's easier to become a demon?"
Jingxue shook her head gently. "That depends on the void of this world. Both Buddhas and demons reside in the void. If this world is in the Buddhist void, it's easy to become a Buddha, but not a demon. If the void of this world is in the demonic nature, it's easy to become a demon, but not a Buddha."
She continued, "I feel that the world we are in is enveloped by the Buddhist void, so it's not easy to become a Heavenly Demon."
Chu Li nodded.
He had the same feeling. It was especially easy to cultivate Buddhism in this world, and its power was especially powerful.
The Lotus Flower Sect was actually a branch of Buddhism, but it did not focus on cultivating Buddhism. Instead, it developed the Lotus Secret Technique.
Jingxue said, "Not only does Heavenly Demons devour a person's soul, but they also parasitize the body and control it."
Chu Li said, "Heavenly Demons do not devour but fuse. They are originally a part of the human heart. They just squeeze out the Buddhist nature and completely occupy the body and mind."
Jingxue smiled and nodded. It was easy to talk to her senior brother.
She continued, "Take Meng Guangyuan's situation for example. The Heavenly Demon is Meng Guangyuan, and Meng Guangyuan is the Heavenly Demon. He did not transform into another person. However, after Meng Guangyuan dies, the Heavenly Demon does not die. It can enter another person's body and devour their demonic nature, turning that person into a Heavenly Demon. That's why the Heavenly Demon is immortal."
Chu Li said, "There is nothing in this world that is immortal."
Jingxue nodded. "There must be something that can restrain it, but it has not been found. The Enlightened Masters should be looking for it."
"Humans …" Chu Li sighed.
Before the Enlightened Masters and Heavenly Demons, humans were insignificant.
"It's up to you, senior brother." Jingxue smiled. "Moreover, there is no such thing as an eternal existence in this world. Humans should be the same."
Chu Li said, "Then I'll go. I'll do my best."
He waved his hand and disappeared in a flash.
The next moment, he appeared on a glacier. He stood in front of a crystal clear palace, surrounded by clouds and mist.
He sat cross-legged and began chanting the Great Light Scripture despite the cold ice.
