Feng Xi approached him and placed his hand under Chu Li's nose. He was no longer breathing. He had indeed died.
"It's done," Feng Xi said loudly.
Two people appeared from a distant roof. One of them was Zhou Xun, and the other was Miss Ruolan in a light purple gown.
They came closer and looked down at Chu Li.
"Is he really dead?" Zhou Xun frowned.
Feng Xi answered, "He's dead."
Miss Ruolan nodded and said calmly, "There are no traces of the Tempest Temple's martial arts. He really didn't practice them."
She took out a jade porcelain from her bosom and carefully poured out a pill. "Let him eat it!"
Zhou Xun took it and stuffed it into Chu Li's mouth.
Miss Ruolan said, "Follow me."
She glided away as she spoke.
Zhou Xun picked up Chu Li and followed her, and so did Feng Xi.
"What are you doing here?" Zhou Xun frowned at Feng Xi.
Feng Xi smiled. "To watch the show."
"What show is there to watch!" Zhou Xun scoffed. "You've killed him once to repay Feng Changwen's debt."
"Elder Zhou, maybe there's something wrong with him!" Feng Xi smiled.
Zhou Xun scoffed. "You think there's something wrong with him?"
"My words are useless." Feng Xi glanced at Miss Ruolan who was flying ten meters away. "If Miss Ruolan says there's nothing wrong with him, then there's nothing wrong with him."
Zhou Xun scoffed.
He had seen Feng Xi beat Chu Li up and snorted. If there was nothing wrong with Zhao Dahe, with his temper, he would not let Feng Xi off!
The three of them arrived at a courtyard and entered a bedroom. They placed Chu Li on a bed.
The two of them stepped back and looked at Miss Ruolan.
Miss Ruolan's charming face was solemn. She slowly raised her hands and formed a strange mudra with her fair fingers before gently touching Chu Li's forehead. Then, she closed her eyes.
Her long eyelashes fluttered and her body remained motionless.
Zhou Xun and Feng Xi stood behind her vigilantly to prevent anyone from disturbing her.
Although Chu Li's body was dead, his spirit was still alive. He was in a strange state where he was neither dead nor alive.
This was the wonder of the Life and Death Scripture. After his previous death, he had advanced to the third level of the Scripture and discovered this wondrous effect.
Death was a state of withering. The body was no different from being dead, but the mind was still conscious. The surroundings were still under the observation of the Omniscient Mirror.
As long as he willed it, he could return to normal.
This withered state was not only used to feign death, it was also an extremely brilliant method of recovery.
It was like a person's sleep. It was more like a deep meditative state, a true great rest. The recovery and healing effects were extremely shocking, even better than the Healing Heart Technique that he used spiritual energy to circulate.
At his current level of the Life and Death Scripture, he could switch between thriving and withering. Every time he faked his death, he would be reborn and reborn. From withering to thriving, and from thriving to withering, it was like a cycle of life. After switching once, his body and spirit would be renewed.
Only then did the wonders of the Life and Death Scripture truly manifest itself.
His Omniscient Mirror could not see through Miss Ruolan, but he could see through Zhou Xun and Feng Xi. Once he knew their plan, he cooperated with them and faked his death.
He was very curious as to what kind of mystical technique Miss Ruolan was going to perform to see if there was anything wrong with him.
A strange force was injected into his mind. This force caused his mind to work on its own, and he could not help but recall the situation of his fortuitous encounter.
Chu Li was secretly surprised. This was a kind of special technique, it should be similar to mind reading.
Thus, he quickly imagined the scene of the fortuitous encounter in his mind.
He imagined that the old monk was Kong Hai and how he caught him in mid-air. Then, he taught him the Sentient Menace before turning into a ray of light and disappearing. A strange phenomenon appeared in the sky.
Those who had never seen such a phenomenon would not be able to imagine it. Only by experiencing it for themselves would they be able to understand the details.
After a while, this force slowly faded.
Miss Ruolan slowly retracted her fair fingers and formed another hand seal. Then, she slowly returned it to her forehead. She took a dozen breaths before she slowly opened her eyes.
"Miss Ruolan?" Zhou Xun asked anxiously.
Feng Xi stared at him as well.
Miss Ruolan's charming face was calm as she said gently, "He wasn't lying. He did have a fortuitous encounter. An old monk taught him the Sentient Menace before he turned into a rainbow. This old monk is probably not from the Tempest Temple."
"He's not from the Tempest Temple?" Zhou Xun asked anxiously. "Is there really something wrong with Zhao Dahe?"
Miss Ruolan glanced at him and shook her head gently. "There's no problem. That old monk didn't reveal his identity and had already turned into a rainbow. He no longer has anything to do with the world. Zhao Dahe is extremely lucky. If he had been half a day later, he would have missed this opportunity."
"An old monk who can turn into a rainbow must be a famous monk of great virtue, right?" Feng Xi said. "We'll know once we look for him."
"This old monk isn't from the Li Dynasty," Miss Ruolan said. Miss Ruolan said, "The Tempest Temple cultivates the Golden Body Invulnerability while the Titanium Temple cultivates the Rainbow Transformation Technique. This old monk should be from the Titanium Temple. Since the Titanium Temple doesn't care about the secular world, they wouldn't choose a mole, so Zhao Dahe should be fine."
Zhou Xun was overjoyed.
Feng Xi said, "Miss Ruolan, there's something I don't understand. Does this monk from the Titanium Temple also cultivate the Sentient Menace?"
Miss Ruolan nodded. "The Titanium Temple cultivates divine powers and doesn't value martial arts that much. They don't think much of the Tempest Temple's martial arts and think that it's an inferior skill. However, since they have a profound dharmic base, it's very easy for them to cultivate the martial arts of the Tempest Temple. Many monks from the Titanium Temple cultivate it for fun."
"This young man is really lucky!" Feng Xi glared at Chu Li who was lying on the bed.
Miss Ruolan said, "Commander Feng, from today onwards, Zhao Dahe will be a reserve disciple. He's not allowed to act recklessly."
"Yes." Feng Xi gave a fist salute.
The Holy Church of Light had strict rules that forbade internal strife. Zhao Dahe's status as a reserve disciple of the Holy Church of Light was feared, so no one dared to act recklessly. Feng Xi himself was also a reserve disciple. If he were to harm Zhao Dahe, the Church would surely perish.
Zhou Xun beamed. "I wonder what Zhao Dahe will achieve in the future with the Sentient Menace and the Great Light Scripture!"
Miss Ruolan nodded. "It all depends on his luck."
"When will he be imparted?" Zhou Xun quickly asked. "It should be done as soon as possible. He's not young anymore."
Miss Ruolan glanced at him. "The Saint's whereabouts are confidential. You shouldn't have asked about it!"
"Yes." Zhou Xun gave a fist salute. "I was too rash!"
"He'll stay here. You guys go!" Miss Ruolan said. "He'll leave immediately after the imparting."
"Miss Ruolan, why don't you let him stay?" Zhou Xun asked. "I can take care of him and give him some pointers."
Miss Ruolan shook her head. "He'll have to listen to the Saint."
Feng Xi frowned and hesitated. "Miss Ruolan, is he going to cultivate in the Great Light Peak?"
"It's possible." Miss Ruolan nodded.
Feng Xi's expression changed slightly.
Zhou Xun was overjoyed.
A reserve disciple who was lucky enough to cultivate in the Great Light Peak was recognized by the Saint and had a high chance of becoming an official disciple in the future.
"This young man is really lucky!" Feng Xi scoffed.
Zhou Xun chuckled. "It's a blessing in disguise. He's extremely lucky indeed."
Feng Xi glared at him in dissatisfaction.
Zhou Xun said, "Elder Feng, don't blame him. Even if Feng Changwen were alive, he wouldn't have any hope of becoming an official disciple!"
Feng Xi did not refute.
Feng Changwen's aptitude was considered very good, but it was obviously not as good as Zhao Dahe.
Miss Ruolan waved her hand.
The two tactfully bade farewell and left.
Miss Ruolan frowned as she stared at Chu Li.
She had cultivated a special skill, so her senses were exceptionally sharp. She could vaguely sense that something was amiss, but she could not pinpoint it.
