Shocked, Chu Li was about to respond.

　　 However, Sun Mingyue waved her hand to stop him. Then, she said, “You can’t return to Gale Branch for the time being.”

　　 “Why?” Chu Li was clearly dissatisfied. “I’ve completed my task, so I should be reinstated as Gale Branch’s Branch Leader. Saint, you’re not going to break your promise, are you?”

　　 Sun Mingyue explained, “If you return to Gale Branch, you’ll still slack!”

　　 “As long as I don’t delay important matters.” Chu Li assured, “I won’t cultivate in isolation for too long this time!”

　　 “You’ll be going into Isolated Cultivation, right?” Sun Mingyue asked.

　　 She looked at Chu Li with her sharp eyes.

　　 Chu Li nodded helplessly. “I’ve found Heavenly King Palm’s secret manual this time and I’d like to practice it. If I succeed, I’ll advance further. I was almost killed by Liang Yinge from Zheng Dynasty who’s far more superior than I am, so I want my revenge the next time we meet!”

　　 “Oh…?” Sun Mingyue squinted her eyes, then repeated, “Liang Yinge?”

　　 Chu Li nodded. “The pavilion master of Zheng Dynasty’s Mysterious Pavilion. He’s young and has a higher cultivation level than me. He practices the Crescent Cryptic’s Nine Kills Trial!”

　　 “You were lucky to have escaped from him!” Sun Mingyue stated.

　　 Chu Li replied, “I owe it to Fu Dynasty’s masters. Saint, I’m sure you know about his Crescent Cryptic’s Nine Kills Trial?”

　　 “Crescent Cryptic’s Nine Kills Trial is an ancient martial art.” Sun Mingyue continued, “Its power is indeed astounding. I heard that it absorbs the crescent’s aura to turn it into pure and mysterious killing energy that’s capable of destroying everything. The Nine Kills represent an ultimate kill that kills every being in the world.”

　　 “Can the Heavenly King Palm restrain it?” Chu Li was curious.

　　 “Heavenly King Palm?” Sun Mingyue pondered for a while, then she explained, “The Heavenly King Palm is also an ancient martial art which can restrain the Crescent Cryptic’s Nine Kills Trial. But the Crescent Cryptic’s Nine Kills Trial absorbs the crescent’s aura, which is the lunar’s essence, so it can still be cultivated. On the other hand, there’s not much hope in cultivating the Heavenly King Palm.”

　　 “Based on my understanding, there’s still hope to cultivate the Heavenly King Palm,” Chu Li replied.

　　 Sun Mingyue remarked, “Don’t waste your time, the Heavenly King Palm requires rich spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth. It is only possible in an environment like Hundred-Thousand Hills. It’s impossible to cultivate it anymore.”

　　 Chu Li commented, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way. I think it’s possible.”

　　 “Alright, anything you say.” Sun Mingyue scoffed.

　　 She dared not insist that it was definitely impossible as Zhao Dahe was capable of the impossible. He was a genius in martial arts, seeing as he had attained a high cultivation level in such a short period of time. Among everyone in the church, Sun Mingyue was the only one who could suppress him.

　　 Chu Li stressed again, “I have to cultivate in isolation, and being a Branch Leader elsewhere won’t be helpful. Let me stay in Gale Branch.”

　　 Sun Mingyue remained silent.

　　 Chu Li quickly added, “Saint, tell me if you have any orders!”

　　 Sun Mingyue immediately smiled.

　　 Chu Li mentioned, “Let me be clear this time, I’ll return to Gale Branch to cultivate in isolation once I complete this task!”

　　 “Alright!” Sun Mingyue instructed, “Pay a visit to Zheng Dynasty’s Mysterious Pavilion.”

　　 Chu Li was stunned.

　　 Sun Mingyue continued, “Deliver a letter to Liang Yinge.”

　　 Chu Li frowned. “Saint, you’re familiar with Liang Yinge?”

　　 Sun Mingyue nodded casually.

　　 Chu Li stared at her closely as if he wanted to read her mind.

　　 Sun Mingyue felt uneasy. “What is it?”

　　 “Saint, are you related to Liang Yinge?”

　　 “Stay out of it,” Sun Mingyue said snappily, “just deliver the letter for me.”

　　 “Why are you sending me to deliver a letter?” Chu Li mentioned, “Anyone can do it.”

　　 “Your Light-body Technique is better,” Sun Mingyue added. “It’s urgent.”

　　 “… Alright.” Chu Li nodded slowly.

　　 Knowing that Sun Mingyue was connected to Liang Yinge, Chu Li was slightly concerned. It was as if something was stolen away from him.

　　 Sun Mingyue retrieved a letter from her desk before she tossed it to Chu Li.

　　 Chu Li received the enveloped when it arrived in front of him. At one glance, he noticed that nothing was written on the envelope but there was only a thin letter enveloped inside.

　　 “I can’t know about the content, am I right?” Chu Li asked.

　　 Sun Mingyue answered, “Yes, you can’t.”

　　 Chu Li kept the letter. Then. he said, “I’ll deliver it to him right away, but I might not return safely. It’s very likely that we’ll fight again.”

　　 Sun Mingyue responded, “Don’t be obsessed with fights.”

　　 Chu Li also asked, “It doesn’t matter if I kill someone from the Mysterious Pavilion?”

　　 Sun Ming nodded. “It doesn’t matter.”

　　 Chu Li frowned as he wondered, ‘Looks like Sun Mingyue has a strange connection with the Mysterious Pavilion.’

　　 “Stop probing!” Sun Mingyue waved her hand. “Don’t delay your task, and return as soon as possible.”

　　 Chu Li gave her a fist salute before he exited Divine Light Basilica and left the mountain.

　　 While he performed his Light-body Technique, he took the letter out to scan it. Through the Omniscient Mirror, he saw only two words. “It’s time.”

　　 Chu Li began to think, but he could not figure out a thing no matter how smart he was since there were only two words written.

　　 ‘Looks like they have made an appointment for something, but I have no idea what it is.

　　 ‘Are they going to join hands to go against Ji Dynasty? Or Fu Dynasty?

　　 ‘Did they promise on something else?’

　　 At the end of the day, Chu Li would never be able to find out since there were only two words. Besides, both Sun Mingyue and Liang Yinge could hinder him from reading their thoughts, thus it was impossible for him to discover anything. Chu Li could only make meaningless guesses, but he was unbothered as long as none of them fought him.

　　 Soon enough, he cast those thoughts away and began to immerse himself in perceiving the Heavenly King Palm.

　　 The Heavenly King Palm required a supreme breadth of spirit from Heaven and Earth. While it was essential for one to be the prime, one could not be unbridled. One needed to correspond with Heaven’s will, such that Heaven’s will be the same as one’s will and vice versa. Only then could one achieve the Heavenly King Palm’s purposeful conception.

　　 When one achieved the purposeful conception, one could then activate the heart technique or it would be pointless even if one knew the meridian route of the heart technique. However, it involved a unique meridian route, by which it could not be channeled through inner energy.

　　 Only by corresponding with the mental state, one could channel one’s inner energy. It was truly mysterious.

　　 Unquestionably, the inner energy cultivated from the mysterious heart technique would be extraordinary, thus Chu Li was eager to find out.

　　 Unfortunately, Chu Li failed to fathom the purposeful conception where Heaven’s will equaled his will. By studying it little by little, Chu Li had to adjust his mental state. It was a patient work that must not be rushed, and he could only succeed when he was struck with sudden insight.

　　 If not, Chu Li had to consume more time to comprehend it. Whatever it was, it would not help if he rushed it.

　　 During Chu Li’s journey, he continued to adjust his mental state while he sensed Liang Yinge’s whereabouts.

　　 At midnight, he finally located Liang Yinge on a mountaintop.

　　 A round moon shone brightly in the sky like a rotating ice wheel that glistened.

　　 At the moment, Liang Yinge was showered in the moonlight as he sat with his legs crossed on a big rock. He was absorbing lunar’s corona.

　　 The instant Chu Li appeared, Liang Yinge paused and turned to look at Chu Li indifferently. His killing intent became more obscure which forced Chu Li to be more alert. Chu Li felt that Liang Yinge was becoming more dangerous as his martial art advanced by leaps and bounds.

　　 Should that go on, Chu Li would certainly be no match for him. Even if he did not hide his Heavenly Demonic Power, he would not be able to defeat Liang Yinge.

　　 This gave Chu Li a sense of urgency to fathom Heavenly King Palm as soon as possible as it was the only way to defeat Liang Yinge. However, his cultivation level could not progress further in a short period of time since he had to set a solid foundation.

　　 “What’s the matter?” Liang Yinge asked.

　　Chu Li retrieved the envelope before he flicked it to Liang Yinge.

　　 As if carried by an invisible hand, the envelope was handed over to Liang Yinge slowly.

　　 When Liang Yinge made a stroke with his finger, the envelope opened. Yet after he had read the letter, he frowned at Chu Li.
