Chu Li told Siao Shi and Xiao Qi that he would focus on cultivating for two months and might not return. Then, he returned to Small Light Peak.
He sat in the thatched cottage on Small Light Peak. The wind howled outside but the cottage was as warm as spring.
Strangely, his heart calmed down and he entered a meditative state again.
This time, he planned to merge the Omniscient Mirror with the Great Light Scripture and Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture. If he could merge the Omniscient Mirror, it would be more convenient and the scriptures' power would increase.
The two giant Buddhas sat on the lotus seat with their backs facing each other. Then, a round mirror appeared behind the two Buddhas' heads, right in the middle.
The round mirror was flawless and reflected everything clearly.
He did not expect it to be this easy. A hint of joy surfaced in his heart.
"Boom!" With a loud noise, a Heavenly Demon suddenly appeared in his mind. It was huge and towering, no different from the two Buddhas.
The hands of the two Buddhas suddenly moved. Their original hand seals were undone and formed into the Devil Subduing Mudra. The scripture that they chanted did not change, but the lotus flower that was formed from the scripture grew twice as big and shot towards the Heavenly Demon with great speed and urgency.
The gigantic Heavenly Demon chanted the Heavenly Demon Scripture, and lotus flowers that emitted dark golden light floated out like balls of flames. They collided with the white and golden lotuses, and even though it was one against two, they were actually evenly matched.
For a moment, none of the lotus flowers in his mind landed on them. They were constantly being consumed. He had a bad feeling.
His mind had become their battlefield. The Great Light Scripture, Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture, and the Heavenly Demon Scripture were all powerful and powerful.
As time passed, the lotus flowers transformed from the three scriptures grew bigger and faster.
He could feel that his spirit was being consumed. The lotus flowers collided with each other, causing the void in his mind to shake slightly and become unstable.
A trace of worry surfaced in his heart. This was where the origin of his spirit was. If it was damaged, he would not know how to repair it. If he was not careful, he might become an idiot.
"Pfft!" He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell onto the stone couch.
A moment later, Li Ruolan appeared outside the thatched cottage like a gust of wind. She pushed the door open and saw Chu Li sitting cross-legged on the stone couch with his head lowered. He was motionless and had a weak aura.
This weak aura was completely different from the deep and slow breathing after meditation.
She hurriedly pressed on Chu Li's wrist with a solemn expression.
She let go of Chu Li's wrist and took out a jade bottle from her inner pocket. She poured out a snow-white pill and put it into his mouth. Then, she laid him down and gently placed her palm on his chest. She pressed on his wrist and examined it closely. After more than ten breaths, there was still no improvement.
She glanced at Chu Li, then turned around and fluttered away.
A moment later, the Saintess' snow-white figure suddenly appeared in the thatched cottage.
She pressed her jade-like hand on Chu Li's forehead and remained motionless.
Li Ruolan soon appeared again and whispered, "Is he suffering from Qi Deviation?"
"Yes, it's very possible." The Saintess nodded slightly.
"How could this be!" Li Ruolan frowned and said, "… It's all my fault. I shouldn't have made him so anxious. I should have taken a good rest."
"What's the point of saying this now?" The Saintess glanced at her and said calmly, "Don't worry, he won't die!"
"He's a genius. I'm afraid that I'll destroy such a genius …" Li Ruolan said in a low voice, "Then my sin will be too great!"
The Holy Maiden said indifferently, "Shut up."
Li Ruolan swallowed her words.
The Saintess suddenly disappeared and reappeared a moment later with a small red sandalwood box that was the length of an index finger. She handed it to Li Ruolan and said, "Let him eat this!"
Li Ruolan curiously opened the small box and saw a beeswax pill wrapped in bright yellow silk. There was only one pill and it was as round as a longan.
She carefully pinched the wax seal and whispered, "What pill is this?"
"Primary Pill," the Saintess said, "It's specially used to replenish one's spiritual energy."
Li Ruolan had never heard of this pill before.
The Saintess did not explain further. "I hope it works."
Li Ruolan could tell that this pill was extremely valuable.
She carefully fed it to Chu Li and stared at him worriedly.
The Saintess stood at the side and looked at Chu Li thoughtfully with her bright eyes.
Ten minutes later, Chu Li slowly opened his eyes. His eyelids were bloodshot and his eyes were dull as if he was seriously ill and on the verge of death.
"Zhao Dahe, how are you?" Li Ruolan asked anxiously.
Chu Li let out a long sigh of relief as he finally woke up. He was lucky that he did not die.
The void in his mind had exploded and he was afraid that the Life and Death Scripture would not work. He thought that he was dead for sure.
The Saintess asked, "What happened?"
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "I don't know what happened but a Heavenly Demon suddenly broke in."
The truth was an illusion, and the illusion was the truth. He could not completely lie, nor could he completely tell the truth. Otherwise, he might not be able to deceive the Saintess.
He only mentioned the Heavenly Demon but did not mention that he cultivated the Heavenly Demon Scripture. The level of the Heavenly Demonic Power was not shallow and others would not be able to tell. He was very confident in the Heavenly Demonic Power because it was comparable to the Great Light Scripture.
"The Heavenly Demon Invasion!" The Saintess sighed. "I didn't expect you to advance so quickly!"
Chu Li asked, "What's going on?"
"There are deities and Heavenly Demons in the void. The Heavenly Demons view Buddhas as their natural enemy. Once they notice that someone has mastered the dharmic base, they will do everything possible to obstruct and destroy their boundary." The Saintess shook her head gently. "I thought that you would only face this tribulation after a while. I didn't expect you to advance so quickly!"
Chu Li asked, "Is my cultivation fast?"
"Yes, it's slightly faster than I expected," the Saintess said. "At your current boundary, you'll need protection."
Chu Li quickly asked, "Who will protect me? Miss Ruolan? "
"Ruolan can do it." The Saintess nodded.
Li Ruolan calmly replied, "Yes, I'll protect him."
"You need to rest for a while," the Saintess said. "Mental injuries are much more troublesome than physical injuries."
"I can cultivate right away," Chu Li quickly said.
"Don't force yourself," the Saintess said. "You can look for me if you need anything."
She disappeared from the thatched cottage in a flash.
Chu Li asked, "Miss Ruolan, how will you protect me?"
"I'll stay by your side and cultivate together," Li Ruolan said.
"That's great!" Chu Li said excitedly. He then scratched his head. "But I'm afraid that I won't be able to calm down if you're by my side."
"Little? Rumble! Collapse of the quilt? Collapse of the bones? Tremble of the ants.
Chu Li quickly nodded. "Yes, yes, I can't let my imagination run wild. I need to enter the Grandmaster as soon as possible and become a Priest."
In the past, Li Ruolan would have expressed her disdain and thought that he was boasting. However, she did not dare to say that now. Zhao Dahe might really become a Priest.
Chu Li did not say anything else. He sat cross-legged and meditated again.
When Li Ruolan saw that he was so obsessed with cultivation, she was worried but also happy. Such a motivated man was worthy of praise. However, he had just suffered from internal demons and had yet to fully recover. If he wanted to cultivate again, it would be suicidal.
