"Bang!" The Saint's jade-like index finger bounced back. Her almond-shaped eyes flickered as she slowly retracted her right palm.
Miss Ruolan found this strange.
Enlightenment was not something that could be completed in a short amount of time. It would take at least a quarter of an hour.
If he let go after just a touch, it meant that he did not impart his energy.
The Saint stared at him and scoffed. "That old monk!"
Miss Ruolan quickly asked, "What happened?"
The Saint looked up at her and scoffed. "I was used by this old monk!"
Miss Ruolan was confused.
The Saintess said, "This old monk's sarira contains the inheritance of Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture, which Zhao Dahe obtained unintentionally. My act of bestowment just so happened to activate the inheritance, and now I'm helping him!"
Miss Ruolan asked, "Can Zhao Dahe cultivate the Great Light Scripture after learning Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture?"
"… Yes." The Saint nodded slowly. "Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture is a secret technique of the Titanium Temple. Outsiders can't get it. This guy's really lucky to be able to obtain this inheritance and cultivate the Great Light Scripture with half the effort."
Miss Ruolan frowned. "The Titanium Temple cultivates divine powers and the Divine Light Body suppresses divine powers."
"The Divine Light Body can suppress divine powers but not the Titanium Temple because of this Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture." The Saint scoffed. "If the two can be combined, his achievements will be higher."
"He's really lucky. He's a lucky man." Miss Ruolan smiled.
The Saint said, "It's a blessing, but it depends on his ability. At the same time, it's fast to cultivate, but it also depends on whether he can cultivate it."
She was thoughtful and hesitant.
If Zhao Jianghe cultivated Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture, he would be able to restrain her Mind Illumination. She would not be able to read his mind, which made her feel uneasy.
However, cultivating Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture and the Great Light Scripture at the same time would allow him to grow rapidly. The Holy Church of Light would have another top-notch master.
If it were someone else, she would rather give up on this master than take the risk.
However, Zhao Dahe was different. He was stubborn and would not change his mind once he had made up his mind. His loyalty was not easily shaken. Moreover, Ruolan was still around.
Should she take the risk or not?
She finally took a deep breath and smiled faintly.
Her whole body suddenly emitted light, as if a sun had fallen into the waterside pavilion, suppressing all the surrounding light.
Miss Ruolan hurriedly closed her eyes, but she could still feel the light penetrating her eyelids and shining into her pupils. Everything in front of her was bright.
Miss Ruolan knew that the Saint was activating the Divine Light Body.
The Saint extended her right hand again. Her index finger seemed to have turned into a transparent crystal as it gently touched Chu Li's forehead.
Chu Li's mind went blank.
A huge Buddha suddenly descended and stood behind the original Buddha. The two huge Buddhas stood back to back, unable to see each other.
This huge buddha's body shone brightly, and his hands formed seals as he chanted the Maha-Vairocana's Light Sutra. The sutra transformed into white lotus flowers that emitted white light and slowly landed on the buddha's body.
At first, Chu Li was standing in front of the Saint with his hands hanging by his sides. Now, however, he was forming a mudra with both of his hands. His face was solemn and compassionate as if he had transformed into a Buddha statue.
"Huff …" The Saintess retracted her index finger and let out a long sigh. The white veil on her face flickered, and the brilliance on her body gradually retracted into her body. The waterside pavilion regained its gentle glow.
Miss Ruolan opened her eyes. "Saint, is it done?"
"Yes, he's now the master of two schools," the Saintess said slowly. "If he can cultivate at the same time, his cultivation speed will be extremely fast."
This required the ability to multitask, which not everyone possessed.
"Another genius?" Miss Ruolan asked with a smile.
The Saintess said, "He might really become a Priest. What will you do when that happens?"
Miss Ruolan pursed her lips and smiled. "We'll see when he becomes a Priest. I might not even be around by then."
The Saintess shook her head and chuckled. "Send him to the outer peak of the Great Light Peak to cultivate in isolation. You don't have to teach him any other martial arts. Let him cultivate the Divine Light Body first so that he can enter the Grandmaster's Boundary."
"Yes." Miss Ruolan nodded.
— —
When Chu Li slowly regained consciousness, the two Buddhas slowly faded from his mind as well.
He felt that his ability to multitask had finally come in handy.
The two Buddhas were chanting their scriptures without disturbing each other. This was not an easy task, but he managed to do it easily.
He was also surprised to find that if two types of lotuses fell on the same Buddha at the same time, the effect would increase exponentially. Two lotuses would be better than four. This meant that his cultivation speed would be four times that of an ordinary person if he cultivated two scriptures at the same time.
This made him overjoyed, but it was also an unintentional gain.
He opened his eyes and saw that only Miss Ruolan was in front of him. He turned his head and looked around.
"The Saintess has left."
"I haven't thanked the Saintess yet."
"You don't have to say it. As long as you cultivate diligently, it'll be enough for you to thank the Saintess." Miss Ruolan said, "We'll leave for the outer peak of the Great Light Scripture tomorrow. You'll start cultivating in isolation and only come out after you become a Grandmaster's Boundary."
Chu Li's eyes widened. "How long will that take?"
"It depends on your ability," Miss Ruolan said. "It might take a year or ten years."
Chu Li said proudly, "No problem. I'll definitely become a Grandmaster!"
"And then take revenge," Miss Ruolan said calmly.
Chu Li scratched his head and laughed.
Miss Ruolan brought him back to the courtyard.
The next morning, Miss Ruolan came to greet him and returned the Sarira to him.
The two of them rode on a horse each and headed north.
Along the way, Miss Ruolan barely spoke as she cultivated in silence.
Out of boredom, Chu Li continued to cultivate the Great Light Scripture and Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture.
After traveling for three days, they finally arrived at a towering mountain whose peak could not be seen as it was shrouded by clouds.
Chu Li could not help but exclaim in admiration. This peak had the grandeur of the Hundred-Thousand Hills.
Miss Ruolan pointed at the peak and said, "This is the outer peak of the Great Light Peak, the Small Light Peak."
"Then it's not far from the Great Light Peak, is it?"
"It's very far." Miss Ruolan shook her head and said, "You'll find out in the future. For now, all you need to know is to cultivate hard here until you reach the Grandmaster's Boundary."
"Where will I stay then?" Chu Li asked.
"The peak," Miss Ruolan replied.
She tied the reins to a tree next to them and Chu Li did the same.
Miss Ruolan placed her small hand on Chu Li's waist and then leaped into the air. She stepped on the treetops and glided upward.
Chu Li cried out in excitement as he was lifted up by her small hand. Miss Ruolan rolled her eyes at him.
As the two of them continued to ascend, the temperature gradually dropped and the wind grew fiercer. At first, it felt like a lover's caress, but later, it felt like an enemy's knife. When the wind landed on his face, he felt a sharp pain as if he was being cut by a knife.
Miss Ruolan was dressed in a thin gown and she fluttered in the wind like a fairy.
Chu Li's white gown fluttered in the wind. His strong body only made him feel a little cold. However, the wind was too strong and it did not feel good when it blew on his face.
