Xu Ning smiled, "Fa Xiang, how do you know that I did not try to persuade His Highness?"
Fa Xiang said in a low voice, "If you really tried to persuade him, and explained the pros and cons clearly, His Highness King An would not cultivate the Asura Power Technique!"
Xu Ning said, "His Royal Highness has always been a determined person. Not to mention me, even you, Fa Xiang, would not be able to persuade him."
"Hmph, how do you know it's useless?" Fa Xiang said coldly, "If you don't try your best to persuade him, and treat him coldly, how can you persuade His Highness King An?"
"Fa Xiang," Xu Ning shook his head and said, "I admit that I am not as good as you with your eloquence, but His Highness is at a crucial point in his cultivation and cannot be disturbed. It is even more impossible for him to listen to your advice. Please leave!"
"Xu Ning, you should know the consequences of successfully cultivating the Asura Power Technique!" Fa Xiang raised his thick eyebrows and looked furious. "You people from the Titanium Temple are indifferent to all living beings, you're simply insane!"
"This Asura Power Technique was passed down from your Tempest Temple," Xu Ning said calmly.
Fa Xiang scoffed, "The Tempest Temple has sealed this divine technique because we pity all living beings. Your Titanium Temple has seen cultivators and not only did you not stop them, you even assisted them in their cultivation. This is a heinous crime!"
"Your Great Leiyin Temple always says that you pity all living beings. If you really pity all living beings, then you should abolish all martial arts. That would be the real pity for all living beings. You cultivate but don't let others cultivate. Is this the Great Leiyin Temple's way of compassion?!" Xu Ning said lightly, "You are just trying to interrupt His Royal Highness' cultivation. It's a pity that His Royal Highness is in the palace and can't hear the dispute here."
"In that case, This Penniless Monk can only use force!" Fa Xiang scoffed and said coldly, "Xu Ning, your Titanium Temple's divine power is powerful, but my Tempest Temple is not idle either. Let's have a duel!"
Xu Ning shook his head and said, "There's no point in competing. Even if I lose, I won't give way."
"Xu Ning, you're forcing me to make a move!" Fa Xiang shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Forget it, I'll chant a sutra as a prayer for all living beings in the world!"
As he spoke, he sat on the ground.
Xing Ming also sat on the ground. Ignoring the mud on the ground, he started chanting.
Xu Ning looked at the two of them and said calmly, "Fa Xiang, it's useless. His Royal Highness is determined and will not be shaken by you!"
Fa Xiang muttered softly and began to chant. Xing Ming also opened his mouth and chanted softly.
At first, their voices were barely audible, but they gradually became clearer.
Lu Yurong glanced at Chu Li, who nodded lightly.
The battle had already begun. Fa Xiang and Xing Ming's chanting must have been aimed at the Asura Power Technique, but no one knew what effect it would have.
As time passed, the chanting became louder and louder. It was like a copper bell, rumbling in one's ears. It also sounded like the evening drum and morning bell. It made one's heart clear and bright. There was not a trace of gloominess in one's heart.
Xu Jingjing sat quietly on the futon and did not disturb them.
The Buddhist scriptures seemed to resound through the sky. It was as if all the gods and buddhas were chanting together. The sound of chanting filled the sky.
Fa Xiang and Xiao Chen looked dignified and solemn, emitting a faint luster. It was as if the Buddhas had arrived in person, causing others to involuntarily have the thought of converting to them.
Chu Li activated the Omniscient Mirror and calmed himself down. He listened calmly and seemed to have understood something.
Lu Yurong's face emitted a warm luster, like white jade. She was also activating the Empyrean Fairy Power to resist the power of the Buddhist scriptures.
After a long time, the chanting slowly stopped.
Fa Xiang and Xing Ming pressed their palms together and remained motionless. They looked dignified.
Xu Ning broke the silence and said, "It's useless. Your scriptures are useful to others, but not to His Royal Highness. He has already cultivated it, so it will be difficult to affect his mind."
"… Xu Ning, I brought a Heart of Asura." Fa Xiang took something out from his pocket.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. A Heart of Asura!
This was a good thing. He had cultivated the Heavenly Demonic Power to the third level with one Heart of Asura. If he had another Heart of Asura, even if he could not cultivate to the sixth level, he should have no problem cultivating to the fourth level.
"What a Tempest Temple!" Xu Ning sneered.
Since they could not use force, they resorted to temptation. The Tempest Temple had always been despicable!
Fa Xiang said, "Let His Royal Highness King An decide on this matter!"
Xu Ning said, "The Tempest Temple still has many Hearts of Asura, right?"
Fa Xiang shook his head. "This is the last one!"
"Alright! I will report to His Royal Highness and let him decide!" Xu Ning nodded calmly.
"Thank you!" Fa Xiang pressed his palms together.
His expression was calm and collected. He no longer had the angry look from before. It was as if he had become a different person.
After reading the scriptures, Fa Xiang's temperament changed. Ming Xing was the same. He stood at the side without moving. He had a bit of Xu Ning's demeanor. It was easy to ignore him.
Xu Ning turned around and entered the cultivation courtyard.
Chu Li said, "Great Master Fa Xiang, what scripture was that?"
Fa Xiang pressed his palms together. "The Great Compassion Scripture." Chu Li sighed.
"What a Great Compassion Scripture. Great Master, this Great Compassion Scripture can restrain the Asura Power Technique, right?"
"Yes." Fa Xiang sighed. "The Asura Power Technique's killing intent is too strong. It needs to be suppressed by the Dharmic base. Unfortunately, His Royal Highness King An does not cultivate the Dharmic base. He does not know the scriptures. Cultivating the Asura Power Technique is a path to disaster!"
Chu Li said, "Great Master Fa Xiang, are you afraid that His Royal Highness will become a person who only knows how to kill?"
"If a normal person cultivates this technique, it will not cause too much trouble. The temple will send masters to suppress it." Fa Xiang shook his head. "But His Royal Highness King An's identity is different. Once he cultivates the Asura Power Technique, the world will be in danger!"
"Why do you say that, Great Master? With the Emperor on the throne, there will be Enlightened Masters watching over him. Even if His Royal Highness King An cultivates the Asura Power Technique, he will still be able to suppress it, right? "
"I'm afraid that the Emperor will not have the intention to suppress it. Instead, he will use it to stir up a storm of blood!" Fa Xiang said.
Chu Li raised his head and looked in the direction of the Imperial House.
Fa Xiang said, "Once the killing begins, all the sins will be attributed to the temple. It is a great cause and effect."
"Sigh …" Chu Li shook his head. "If that's the case, why not destroy the Asura Power Technique?"
"I can't restrain the Asura Power Technique now, but it doesn't mean that I won't be able to do so in the future. The Asura Power Technique is like a treasured sword. I can't control it now, but I will be able to use it in the future. It would be a waste to destroy it now! "
"If His Royal Highness King An consumes the Heart of Asura, his cultivation level will skyrocket, but he won't be able to improve anymore, right?"
"Yes."
"I'm afraid that His Royal Highness won't consume it. His Royal Highness's cultivation of the Asura Power Technique is progressing very quickly." Chu Li shook his head.
"Let's wait and see what His Royal Highness King An decides!" Fa Xiang said.
"Creak …" The door to the Cultivation Courtyard opened again.
Xu Ning said, "Fa Xiang, everyone, come in!"
Chu Li extended his hand. "Great Master Fa Xiang, Young Master Xing Ming, please — —!"
He smiled at Lu Yurong. "Miss Lu, do you want to come in as well?"
"Of course." Lu Yurong squeezed in front of him and entered the Cultivation Courtyard.
King An stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He looked at the crowd coldly, like a sharp treasured sword that was unsheathed.
When his gaze stopped on Chu Li, it lit up.
Chu Li sighed. His cultivation level had improved so much that his gaze was almost solid.
