Chapter 1082: 1082
“Don’t worry, there’s no bad news . ” Xiao Qi said gently . “They have all withdrawn from the Public House . King An is probably coming up with a plan . ”
Chu Li fell silent .
When he thought of King An, his bloodlust surged . He wanted nothing more than to kill him now, and became more eager for the Enlightened Master’s energy . When he devoured the Enlightened Master energy, he would immediately set off to kill King An!
“There will be news from the Imperial Residence . ” Xiao Qi said . “If he makes any movements, we’ll know . ”
Chu Li nodded lightly .
He had many eyes in the residence that did not need to be specifically instructed . If there was any information, they would think of a way to notify Xiao Qi .
Xiao Qi asked, “How’s your progress?”
“It’s going well . ” Chu Li revealed a smile .
Since he entered the Inner Mausoleum, it had been smooth sailing for him . The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture could transform energy . He wondered if this energy could be absorbed by Heavenly Demonic Power . If it could, then his Heavenly Demonic Power would advance much faster .
Unfortunately, although it was a wonderful idea, it was very difficult to achieve . His mastery of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture too shallow and, as a result, he could not transform energy for Heavenly Demonic Power . It could only become inner energy for Cloud Slashing Power .
This Cloud Slashing Power’s inner energy was different from ordinary Cloud Slashing Power’s inner energy .
The inner energy transformed by the Inner Mausoleum could ignore the suppression of the bronze gates and not be weakened . As a result, his cultivation in the Inner Mausoleum was higher than usual, which shortened the gap between him and the Inner Mausoleum Protectors .
Xiao Qi looked at him and sighed lightly .
Chu Li laughed . “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine . ”
He knew that Xiao Qi sighed because she was worried for him . After all, going up against an Enlightened Master was like committing suicide .
Xiao Qi nodded lightly and did not say any more . However, her eyes were clear and faint, softening Chu Li’s heart and making him want to change his mind and stop risking his life, instead, staying together with Xiao Qi in peace .
He adjusted his spirit and got rid of these thoughts, continuing to think about the way forward instead .
Early in the morning, Chu Li returned to the Outer Mausoleum Imperial Garden .
His waterside pavilion had been made spotless . The windows were bright and clear, and there were several vases of fresh flowers . It gave off a unique and elegant beauty .
His bedclothes and bed sheets were replaced by new ones . The light fragrance of sandalwood floated in the room, making one’s mind feel at peace .
“How is it, Young Lu, are you satisfied?” Zhao Xuan pointed at the waterside pavilion .
Chu Li walked back and forth in the waterside pavilion and said admiringly, “It’s not bad at all . Thank you, Elder Zhao . ”
Zhao Xuan said, “From now on, this lake will belong to you . There are various kinds of fish in the lake that can’t be found outside . All are delicious, unique, and also good for your vitality . You’ll certainly like them . ”
Chu Li chuckled, “Shouldn’t the fish in the lake be for watching?”
“Haha . ” Zhao Xuan laughed . “It’s fine to watch them while you fish and eat them!”
Chu Li shook his head, “That’ll be a shame . ”
“It seems you’re still a refined person, Young Lu . Well, do as you please . ” Zhao Xuan smiled . “I really do feel like eating them when I watch them . ”
Chu Li smiled and shook his head .
Zhao Xuan continued to chat and laugh with him before leading him into the Inner Mausoleum . The pair arrived at the conference room .
Only the withered elder Xu Zhenshan was there . When he saw Chu Li and Zhao Xuan enter, he beckoned . “Young Lu, you’re a newbie, so you can start from Jing Tian Pavilion . You’ll start rotations from the second former emperor’s Inner Mausoleum .

“Yes, thank you, Elder Xu . ” Chu Li fist saluted .
Xu Zhenshan shook his head and smiled . “If you can’t handle it, then take it slow . Take it one day at a time . Don’t overwork yourself . ”
“I’ll see how it goes . ”
“Hm, that’s fine . Your Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture is very mysterious . Maybe you’ll be able to handle it . ”
“Yes . ”
“Elder Zhao, send him over . ”
“Alright . ” Zhao Xuan chuckled out a response .
The two left the conference room and walked a dozen miles before arriving at an open courtyard located in the northeast corner .
The courtyard was divided by three entrances .
Zhao Xuan led him through the third entrance towards the main hall . “This is the second former emperor’s spirit hall, which houses his immortal golden body . ”
Chu Li looked around and found no guards around .
Zhao Xuan said, “There’ll be two guards in each hall . ”
“What about this hall?”
“Xiao Hu is already in the hall . You’ll be with him . ” Zhao Xuan smiled . “He has a good reputation and isn’t a bad person, and you’re a good person as well . You’ll get along well with him . You’ll be working closely with him from now on . ”
“Yes,” Chu Li fist saluted .

Zhao Xuan shouted, “Xiao Hu!”
The doors were opened, and Hu Feixing stepped out of the hall and fist saluted . “Elder Zhao . ”
“I’ve brought you a companion . ” Zhao Xuan pointed at Chu Li . “You’ll be working together from now on . Look out for him so no accidents happen . ”
“Elder Zhao, you’re too polite . How can I look out for him? It should be the other way around . ” Hu Feixing laughed . “I’m not as good as Young Lu in terms of martial arts . ”
“There you go again!” Zhao Xuan pointed at him . “Young Lu is new here and doesn’t understand anything . You need to teach him the rules so as not to bring disaster . ”
“Understood!” Hu Feixing laughed . “Elder Zhao, don’t worry . ”
Zhao Xuan glanced at Chu Li before fluttering away with a flick of his horsetail whisk .
“Let’s go in . ” Hu Feixing appraised Chu Li before smiling . “Don’t say or do anything after entering . Just sit down . ”
Chu Li fist saluted and followed him into the hall .
He could feel that Hu Feixing did not have yesterday’s caution and hostility . Although he lost Hu Feixing’s face, he defeated two masters at the same time . In the end, Hu Feixing did not lose face .
As soon as he entered the hall, his whole body tightened . He felt as if he entered the Inner Mausoleum all over again .
It was as if he placed himself in the middle of a turbulent wave, or was carrying a heavy mountain . His entire body seemed to be creaking, his bones grinding against each other, and his blood about to burst from his flesh .
Hu Feixing stared at Chu Li and saw his strange expression before smiling happily and saying, “This hall is arranged with formations that suppresses the power of Enlightened Masters . Therefore, the outside of the hall is completely different from the inside . You may last three days outside, but you won’t survive a single day here!”
Chu Li frowned . “Then, how do you handle it, Senior Hu?”
When it came to cultivation, Hu Feixing was not as good as he, who could use Cloud Slashing Power . Logically speaking, he should not be able to handle it either .

“There’s no other way but to do your best . ” Hu Feixing sighed . “Improving bit by bit, until you last longer . Although it’s painful, it can stimulate your potential and speed up your cultivation . It’s like if you struggle hard against an Enlightened Master’s suppression, you’ll eventually become stronger . ”
Chu Li said, “I see!”
He looked at the lifelike but thin elder in front of him .
On the steps of the hall was a cattail hassock, on which sat a thin old man dressed in bright yellow clothes . He must have been a handsome man when he was young . A graceful and refined expression on his face .
With his eyes closed, the old man sat motionless on the cattail hassock . His entire body exuded a majestic dignity, which made people want to worship him, feeling like ants .
“This is the second former emperor’s inextinguishable golden body?” Chu Li pointed at the steps .
“Indeed . ” Hu Feixing said, “Are you surprised?”
Chu Li nodded .
Hu Feixing said, “Before I entered the Inner Mausoleum, I thought the inextinguishable golden body would shine with brilliance . Now, it seems like it’s just a normal person . ”
Chu Li said, “What amazing power . ”
“This much is nothing!” Hu Feixing scoffed . “This is the second former emperor . It’s been a thousand years . The late emperor’s might was ten times greater than this!”
