Fa Yuan fixed his gaze on Chu Li .
The two of them stood on each end of the boat and they were quite close to each other . Fa Yuan’s senses were exceptionally sharp .
He had a feeling that Chu Li must be connected with the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon, such that he had probably cultivated it . However, there was no aura of the scripture coming from him .
“If you cultivate the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon, you’ll become the common enemy of those who practices Buddhism . ” Fa Yuan reminded, “Brother Chu, you must not harm yourself with your own mistake . ”
“Fa Yuan, you’ve repeated this multiple times!” Chu Li could not help but laugh . “Since whoever cultivates it becomes the common energy of Buddhism, why isn’t the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon lost?”
“Buddhism is not widely employed in Fu Dynasty, which is why that scripture has been passed down until today . In Ji Dynasty, it would’ve been destroyed long ago . ” Fa Yuan shook his head . “Nevertheless, it’s extremely difficult to cultivate the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon, and there are many downsides to it . There are very few who cultivate it, so the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon won’t prosper . It’s meant to decline and it will be lost in the end!”
“Even with shortcomings, there are people who still cultivate the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon . I believe there are some wonders to it?” Chu Li asked .
Fa Yuan explained, “Once one cultivates the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon, they will go through various changes and transform into another person which is impossible to guard against . However, those who intend to cultivate it need to have superior insight . ”
Chu Li nodded meaningfully .
The more Fa Yuan looked at Chu Li, the more he felt that he might have cultivated the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon .
If someone else were to acquire the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon, one might not even get to cultivate it as it required them to have a solid foundation of Buddhism to comprehend its contents . Without profound Buddhist Austerities, it was similar to reading a heavenly book .
Moreover, even for those who were profound in Buddhist Austerities, one might not necessarily comprehend the Scripture of the Heavenly Depend unless one was exceptionally intelligent .
As such, Chu Li fulfilled all those requirements . He was insightful in Buddhist Austerities and he has amazing comprehension . If only ten people in the world were able to cultivate the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon, it was very likely that he would be one of them .
Chu Li smiled . “How does the Tempest Temple restrain the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon?”
“There are plenty of secret Buddhism techniques to restrain it . The most basic one is MahVairocana’s Immobility Scripture . ” Fa Yuan explained patiently, “One who masters the MahVairocana’s Immobility Scripture will not be blinded by the Heavenly Demon . One can see the truth from false, so no matter how much another person changes, that person can’t hide from those who cultivate the MahVairocana’s Immobility Scripture!”
“I see . ” Chu Li nodded with a smile . “What if someone practices the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon and MahVairocana’s Immobility Scripture? Will you be able to tell?”
“That’s impossible . ” Fa Yuan shook his head . “MahVairocana’s Immobility Scripture and the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon are like fire and ice . It’s impossible to cultivate both . ”
“I see…” Chu Li sighed . “The Scripture of the Heavenly Demon is really something . Don’t worry, I’ve cultivated the MahVairocana’s Immobility Scripture . ”
Fa Yuan placed his palms together before he sighed a long breath of relief .
Chu Li continued to ask questions, “Oh right, did you find out about the secret of the Enlightened Masters in the Imperial Mausoleum?”
Chu Li felt that the reason he was able to cultivate both MahVairocana’s Immobility Scripture and the Scripture of the Heavenly Demon could be due to the presence of Great Light Scripture that held everything in place .
Fa Yuan pondered for a while . Then, he replied, “Actually, I didn’t find out much . There’s the remains of the Enlightened Masters in the Inner Imperial Mausoleum, and one can find the secret of the Enlightened Masters through the remains . That’s all . ”
“When the Enlightened Masters ascend to Heaven, don’t they leave in rainbow bodies? So what are the remains?”
All along, he had remained dubious about the secret of Enlightened Masters . He had a feeling that someone had intentionally spread rumors about it, thus it might not be true .
“The way the Enlightened Masters ascend to Heaven isn’t all the same . Some will leave in rainbow bodies, leaving behind Heaven and God Pills, while some leave their indestructible golden body behind . ”
“Indestructible golden body?”
“Imperishable bodies that remain in the world forever, and they appear so real that they’re simply living bodies that no longer breathed,” Fa Yuan clarified .

Chu Li frowned . “There are indestructible items in the world?”
Fa Yuan expressed, “Indestructible golden bodies can remain in the world for a thousand years . ”
“What’s the purpose of leaving these golden bodies behind?” Chu Li humphed .
“An indestructible golden body is the connector between the Outland and the world . Without these golden bodies, Leng Family won’t be able to connect to the Outland and consequently, they won’t be able to produce Enlightened Masters . ”
Raising his brows, Chu Li then began to understand . “I see!”
He finally realized the wonders of it .
These golden bodies were like coordinates that were passages between the Outland and the world . The future generations of Leng Family needed these golden bodies to connect with the Outland in order to become Enlightened Masters!
It was no wonder that former Enlightened Masters from the imperial family were all from the Imperial Mausoleum .
“Brother Chu, do you understand?” Fa Yuan looked at Chu Li .
Chu Li sighed . “The Imperial Mausoleum is the source that produces the Enlightened Masters . So it’s true that it contains the secret of Enlightened Masters!”
“For those who are not of the Leng Imperial Family, even if they were to obtain those golden bodies, it would be useless,” Fa Yuan added .
“If those golden bodies were stolen, does it mean that those from Leng Family can’t become Enlightened Masters anymore?” Chu Li wondered .
Fa Yuan answered, “Don’t forget that the emperor is an Enlightened Master . Who can steal him away?”
Even if the other golden bodies were stolen, they still had the emperor . As long as the emperor remained, once he ascended to Heaven, his golden body would become a passage for the future generation of Leng Family .

“Isn’t this quite a joke then? The fact that one has to study these golden bodies to become an Enlightened Master,” Chu Li sneered . “I believe the guards of the Inner Imperial Mausoleum were tricked? How can they study the golden bodies?”
Naturally, other people were definitely not allowed to touch the golden bodies, let alone studying them .
Fa Yuan responded, “Although those golden bodies are dead, they’re the same as they were when they were alive . The aura of the Enlightened Masters remains . Thus when one feels the aura, one can acquire a hint of the secret, and can comprehend the way to advance into an Enlightened Master . ”
“If such wonders exist, how can the Four Major Sects sit still?” Chu Li scoffed .
Fa Yuan shook his head slowly . “The Four Major Sects have Heaven and God Pills or indestructible golden bodies as well . They need not study those that belong to Leng Family . ”
Fa Yuan then asked, “Brother Chu, you want to become an Enlightened Master too, don’t you?”
“Who doesn’t?” Chu Li asked him back .
Fa Yuan smiled . “Brother Chu, it’s impossible for you to become an Enlightened Master . You should give up on that thought . ”
“Hmm?” Chu Li questioned, “Why can’t I become one?”
“Only those from the Four Major Sects and the imperial family can become Enlightened Masters . It’s impossible for those from other sects, not even those from the High Duke’s Public House . ” Fa Yuan continued, “Brother Chu, even if you become number one in the world, if you’re not a disciple of the Four Major Sects, you can’t become an Enlightened Master . ”
“Who knows? I might suddenly become a disciple of Titanium Temple . ” Chu Li grinned .
The fact that he became a disciple of Amethyst Mountain had always been a secret, whereby it was only known by few .
Fa Yuan smiled back at him . “Brother Chu, you’ll have to win me in a fight first . ”
“Let’s see about that . ” Chu Li uttered, “Do something about King An, don’t let him go overboard!”

“Brother Chu, you’re making things hard for me . ” Fa Yuan became sullen . “His Highness King An doesn’t listen to us, he’s only using our temple and our temple is using him too . Our temple wants to alleviate our relationship with the imperial family, whereas he wants to regain his martial art . ”
Apologetically, Fa Yuan bowed with his palms placed together .
As the two of them stood on the small boat, it floated along to the current . After going around Adjacent Town, they returned to Chu Li’s residence, where Fa Yuan bode him farewell .
Due to the setting sun, the west side of the sky was filled with beautiful red radiance .
Chu Li looked at the towering walls of the town and lamented . Fu Dynasty’s towns were much taller than the ones in Ji Dynasty and Li Dynasty, yet the walls in front of him now were twice as tall as the ones in Ji Dynasty, standing at around 30 meters, which was ten-story tall .
Standing below, he somehow felt tiny .
Through the Omniscient Mirror, he could see the lively atmosphere of the town that was three miles away .
The buildings in the town towered majestically and it was quite a scene .
There were no city gate officers at the gate . Hence, people were allowed to enter and exit as they wanted . As a result, the town was filled with crowds .
Chu Li wore a white gown with a long blade placed on his waist . As he paced through the crowd, he appeared like a crane, drawing countless attentions to himself .
Due to his attractive looks and his imposing manner, it was clear that he was a top-notch sword-bearer . Currently, he had transformed into Du Feng the White Shroud Shendao as he arrived at Fu Dynasty .
