Wen Yi remained calm and gentle, but Chu Li knew that she was not convinced. It was obvious that she had absolute confidence in her own qualities.
These Divine Ladies were very strict in their selection. It was impossible to become a Divine Lady without such qualities, no matter how beautiful they were or how kind they were.
Although the Divine Ladies ranked third in terms of qualities, it was an iron threshold. Without such qualities, no matter how beautiful they were or how kind they were, they could not become Divine Ladies.
There were only a few women in the world who had all three qualities, and they were extremely rare. The fact that they could stand out and become Divine Ladies showed how proud they were.
They had met Enlightened Masters on God of Heaven Mountain. Their talents were beyond imagination, and they were also shockingly handsome. Naturally, they were not arrogant, only humble.
However, the pride in their bones could not be erased.
"You don't believe me, do you?" Leng Fei shook his head and smiled. "You think that it's because you didn't have the chance to cultivate it?"
Wen Yi nodded.
She knew that Chu Li was gentle and different from the other Enlightened Masters, so she spoke boldly and said whatever was on her mind.
Chu Li asked, "Do all of you Divine Ladies think the same way?"
Wen Yi fell silent.
She could represent herself but not all the Divine Ladies. If they suddenly turned against each other, she would be in trouble, but it would not be appropriate to implicate others.
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "The Azure Cloud Sword requires a unique power, which is born from nature and not acquired."
Wen Yi frowned. "Are we really not allowed to cultivate it?"
Chu Li shook his head.
"Then forget it," Wen Yi said. "We're just unlucky."
Chu Li smiled. "But it's not like we can't change."
Wen Yi was excited.
Chu Li said, "I have a way to improve your strength step by step, but it'll take a long time. I'm not sure if you have the patience."
"How long will it take?" Wen Yi asked.
Chu Li replied, "It depends on each person's qualities, effort, and fate. It'll take at least a thousand years."
"A thousand years …" Wen Yi muttered.
A thousand years was indeed too long, but compared to the power of the Azure Cloud Sword, it was acceptable. She nodded. "Young Master, please teach us the Azure Cloud Sword!"
Chu Li smiled. "I'll have to hide this from the others. You know how powerful the Azure Cloud Sword is, especially to Enlightened Masters!"
"Yes." Wen Yi nodded gently but firmly.
Chu Li stretched out his hand. "Serve me the brush and ink!"
Wen Yi quickly ground the ink and presented the best cloud paper. The paper was as soft as silk, and there seemed to be white clouds floating on the paper.
This cloud paper was difficult to damage with blades and swords, so it could be considered a treasure. Every single heavenly deity had a portion of it, using it to record content that was worth eternally passing down.
Chu Li picked up the pen and began to write. After writing a total of sixteen words, he gently put the pen back and smiled as he looked at it. He nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, take this and try to figure it out." Chu Li looked at Wen Yi. "You can also let them practice together. I only have one small request!"
"Young Master, please speak!" Wen Yi said softly.
Chu Li said, "You're only allowed to use it to protect yourself, you're not allowed to use it against Enlightened Masters!"
"Yes!" Wen Yi said solemnly, "I will make them swear before they can comprehend it!"
Chu Li waved his hand in satisfaction. "Go then. I'm going to the Sutra Tower. Call me back after ten days!"
"Yes." Wen Yi nodded.
Chu Li turned around and headed to the Sutra Library.
Wen Yi watched him leave, then carefully picked up the cloud paper.
This was their supreme treasure. Once they successfully cultivated it, it would become their foundation. Even if the Enlightened Masters wanted to abandon them, they would not be afraid.
She looked at Chu Li who was walking away and did not know why he did this.
Was he just sympathizing with the Divine Ladies' fate, or did he have other intentions?
Nonetheless, it did not matter. As long as this Azure Cloud Divine Sword's sword scroll was real and had real power, they did not care what other intentions they had.
Chu Li strolled and entered the Sutra Tower. He buried his head in the books and tried his best to memorize them. He did not care about shocking the world anymore.
He flipped through the books like the wind. The pages turned into shadows and were flipped through in an instant.
Chu Li did not think about it. He directly imprinted them into his mind and filled up the Sutra Tower in his mind. One after another, the books became clear. They changed from gray to vivid colors and could be read.
Ten days later, he arrived at the top floor of the Sutra Tower.
A gentle force firmly blocked him.
Chu Li frowned and activated the energy in his body, but he could not do anything to this force. In the end, he even activated the Azure Cloud Divine Sword's power in his mind.
It was still useless.
This gentle force seemed to come from heaven and earth. It could not be broken no matter what.
Just as he was fighting against this force, Lu Xunji suddenly appeared beside him.
"It's useless." Lu Xunji shook his head. "Jing Ru, this floor is formed by the Sutra Tower itself. We could not enter it."
Chu Li asked, "This Sutra Tower itself is a treasure?"
"Of course." Lu Xunji nodded and said proudly, "Otherwise, how could these books be so complete and sturdy?"
Chu Li pondered. "You cannot control this treasure?"
"Not completely." Lu Xunji said, "However, we have already grasped the majority of it. Even if this is already enough, with it, our inheritance will not be severed. Even if the Heavenly Deity no longer exists in this world, there will still be seeds of the Heavenly Deity."
"Enlightened Masters' seeds …" Chu Li shook his head.
Lu Xunji sighed. "I can't hide it from you. We Enlightened Masters are born and cannot be inherited. But with these books, it can be considered a kind of inheritance."
Chu Li said, "Elder Lu's words do not sound auspicious."
Lu Xunji shook his head and smiled. "Everything has its birth and death. It is the same for us Enlightened Masters. Although the Enlightened Masters are still very strong and there are no signs of death, they cannot live forever."
Chu Li smiled. "We live as long as the heavens and earth. Unless the heavens and earth die, there is no other way."
"Yes …" Lu Xunji sighed. "I am afraid that the heavens and earth will also die … Jing Ru, you humans seem to be quite lively these days."
"I have made a fool of myself in front of you." Chu Li shook his head and smiled bitterly. "The five sects of Tian Nan are in a mess. I am afraid that the north will not stop either. Once the pressure from the Enlightened Masters is gone, they can no longer sit still and want to take advantage of the situation."
"This may not be without the Heavenly Demon's shadow!" Lu Xunji said solemnly.
Chu Li nodded.
"Actually, I think this is also an opportunity for you." Lu Xunji said. "You can take this opportunity to unify the world. It is also a blessing."
Chu Li shook his head. "My martial arts is not invincible."
Lu Xunji could not help but laugh.
Chu Li said, "Elder, you have underestimated humans. Like the Imperial Gate and the Creation Sect, they are unfathomable. It is just that the Enlightened Masters did not touch their bottom line and did not use their trump card. They are not as honest as us, the Lotus Sect."
"If that's the case …" Lu Xunji smiled. "Then all the more you want to unify the world. Isn't it interesting to have a challenge? We can also help you."
Chu Li looked at him.
Lu Xunji smiled. "Once you unify the world, we will get along more peacefully. There is no other intention but to defend against the Heavenly Demon."
Chu Li shook his head. "I do not have such ambitions. I only want to protect my sect and friends."
