Li Ruolan further explained, “Monk Zhi Shan likes to kill females, and is specifically targeting Senior Sister Lu and myself.”

“Damn this monk!” Zhou Jinchun gritted his teeth. “If Senior Sister Lu doesn’t leave, I’m not leaving too!”

Li Ruolan sighed and stopped trying to convince him.

Ji Xin asked, “Junior Brother Zhao can hold Monk Zhi Shan back, right?”

“He’s joined hands with Altar Leader Mo this time, and managed to hit Zhi Shan with two blades,” Li Ruolan answered.

While they conversed, Chu Li was pondering in a gazebo in the backyard.

He still could not figure out Monk Zhi Shan’s background. It somehow felt as though he was enveloped in a layer of fog that shielded him from who he truly was. This was his first time experiencing such a strange feeling, and this added more to why he wanted to perceive him.

Nonetheless, the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture was truly magical, and he gained a lot from it.

For one to feel like they were reincarnated and became unobstructed, this was only one of the boundaries. There was a deeper level to it, whereby all beings were one, and Yin and Yang transitioned like a cycle.

This time, he was forced to a dead end, where he almost transformed back into Chu Li. Although transforming back into Chu Li meant that he could definitely defeat Monk Zhi Shan, his identity as Zhao Dahe would be exposed, and everything he did would go to waste. He must not underestimate the wisdom of the earthly people.

After spending so much effort and time in the Holy Church of Light to climb his way up, he only wanted to become the altar leader or even the priest. He needed to attain the most confidential information about them so that he could find out the weakness of the Holy Church of light. Should his impulsive actions cause everything to fail, it would truly be a pity.

‘How exactly can I restrain Monk Zhi Shan?’ He wondered.

As he kept thinking about all martial arts he learned as Zhao Dahe, he finally came to the Single Slice of the Universe!

‘The force from the solar chakram is as solid as rock, hence it can’t be transformed. The Single Slice of the Universe has a similar force. If I want to stop Monk Zhi Shan, I need the Single Slice of the Universe!’

When he finally realized that, he released the inner energy in his dantian and began cultivating thirty-six energy-nurturing forms.

Soon enough, Zhou Jinchun and Ji Xin were sent by Li Ruolan to the backyard. She needed to treat Lu Zhen, and thus should not be disturbed.

When the two of them saw Chu Li’s slow gestures and odd postures, they entered the gazebo curiously.

“Junior Brother Zhao, what martial art is this?” Zhou Jinchun checked him out before asking with a smile.

“The Single Slice of the Universe,” Chu Li answered.

“It’s so slow-moving, is it powerful?” Zhou Jinchun continued, “Based on its name, is it a blade technique?”

Chu Li replied, “This is used for conserving one’s blade force. Senior Brother Zhou, how about you give it a go?”

“Alright.” Zhou Jinchun grinned.

On the other hand, Ji Xin sighed. “Junior Brother Zhao, it was very dangerous to fight Monk Zhi Shan, right?”

Chu Li responded. “We won’t die.”

“Junior Sister Lu almost died, and Junior Sister Li was injured too.” Ji Xin added, “You’re injured, Altar Leader Mo’s injured, … If this goes on, can we win against Monk Zhi Shan?”

“We’ll only find out when we fight. Even if we can’t win this time, it doesn’t mean that we won’t win the next time!” Chu Li replied, “You should be careful too. If you’re up against the lunar chakram, don’t force yourselves to take it in, the same goes for the solar chakram. Whatever it is, if you encounter Monk Zhi Shan, hide from him, and run away if you can.”

“Even if we want to escape, we’re afraid that we won’t be able to.” Zhou Jinchun shook his head.

Up until this day, he still had lingering fears toward Zhi Shan.

Junior Brother Zhao, how did you hit his chakram? It sounded like you did it easily!” Zhou Jinchun was eager to know.

Chu Li replied, “No matter how fast the lunar chakram spins, there’s one point on it that’s relatively still. If you hit that spot, you’ll hit the lunar chakram away.”

“The chakram spins so quickly, how can anyone spot that?” Zhou Jinchun smiled bitterly. “Junior Brother Zhao, what are your eyes made of!”

Chu Li stopped operating the thirty-six forms before pointing at his eyes proudly. “Half of them is good eyesight, half of it is feeling. Talent!”

The two of them stared at him.

“Come, try my Single Slice of the Universe!” With that, Chu Li pulled his sword out of his scabbard and wielded it at Zhou Jinchun.

Zhou Jinchun blocked the attack with his sword.

“Bam!” Zhou Jinchun was sent flying away as if he was hit by a gigantic piece of wood.

He kept stepping in the air to unload the force. However, it was to no avail. At last, he landed in a small lake 20 meters away, causing water to splash everywhere.

Chu Li burst out laughing.

Ji Xin could not help but laugh too.

“Pfft!” When Zhou Jinchun emerged from the water, he spat a water grass out before calling out snappily, “Junior Brother Zhao, that was too ingenuine of you!”

The blade force that hit him was too strange. He felt as if a hand had pushed him into the air, and went on until he was at the bottom of the lake.

Chu Li dissolved in waves of laughter. “Senior Brother Zhou, now you know how powerful the SIngle Slice of the Universe is. Is it still soft and ineffectual?”

At once, Zhou Jinchun leaped into the air and dried his clothes.

“Bam, bam”. Two loud vibrations were heard as water droplets splashed everywhere. By the time he landed on the ground, his clothes were dry, and white vapor could be seen evaporating from his hair, drying very quickly.

Junior Brother Zhao, does the Sutra Library have this blade technique?” Zhou Jinchun quickly asked.

Chu Li shook his head.

“Where did you learn it?”

“Tian Luo Sect.”

“Fella, you’re really something. You actually have connections with Tian Luo Sect, the disciples there are all beautiful ladies!” Zhou Jinchun’s eyes were glimmering.

Ji Xin let out a dry cough before pointing at his own head. “Senior Brother Zhou, you have something up there.”

Zhou Jinchun removed the grass from his head, then threw it aside. Followed by that, he continued asking excitedly, “Junior Brother Zhao, quick, tell us, how did you get connected with Tian Luo Sect? Introduce us to them!”

Ji Xin commented helplessly, “Senior Brother Zhou, don’t you like Junior Sister Lu?”

“I like Junior Sister Lu, but she doesn’t like me.” Zhou Jinchun instantly became sullen. “I think she likes Junior Brother Zhao.”

Ji Xin chuckled. “That’s because Junior Brother Zhao has amazing martial art skills.”

Zhou Jinchun shook his head as he sighed. “Speaking of which, Junior Brother Zhao and I are rivals in love!”

Chu Li cast a sidelong glance at him. “Senior Brother Zhou, would you like to experience the SIngle Slice of the Universe again?”

“Forget it!” Zhou Jinchun immediately waved his hands.

The blade force from the Single Slice of the Universe drilled into his meridian like real blades, to the extent that his meridian was still hurting now. Zhao Dahe was already holding back when he attacked him just now. If he were to attack him at full force, he would end up in a worse position. Moreover, he had not regained his cultivation level yet, and he felt that there was a huge gap between him and Zhao Dahe.

“Uhh… Sadly, Junior Sister Lu lost an arm!” Zhou Jinchun was rather downhearted. He sat on a stone stool, then punched the stone table hard. “God is blind!”

“Junior Sister Lu…” Ji Xin shook his head as well.

Chu Li expressed, “Actually, it’s not exactly impossible for her broken limb to grow again.”

Right away, the two of them looked up at him.

Chu Li explained, “Apart from some unique techniques and spirit pills, based on what I know, there’s a Detachment Pill that allows the regrowth of a broken limb.”

“Detachment Pill?” Zhou Jinchun asked, “Does this spirit pill really exist?”

Chu Li answered, “I’m afraid it’s no longer found in this world, but as long as you find a kind of spirit herb, I can refine it.”

“What spirit herb?” Zhou Jinchun quickly asked.

Ji Xin was curious. “Junior Brother Zhao, you can refine pills too?”

“Piece of cake.” Chu Li said proudly, “My talent in alchemy is not inferior to my martial arts at all. The herbalist hall has been wanting me to go over!”

“What spirit herb?” Zhou Jinchun was eager to find out.

Chu Li answered, “Common Knotgrass. From what I know, it’s not extinct yet, but it is very rare. Whether you find it or not, it’ll be up to your luck.”

“Common Knotgrass…” Zhou Jinchun gritted his teeth. “I’ll definitely find it!”

Chu Li reminded, “Senior Brother Zhou, don’t go looking for it alone. Since there are many people in the church who are fond of Senior Sister Lu, ask them to search for it too. For all you know, someone will find it.”

Zhou Jinchun hesitated for a moment, then hit the table hard. “Alright, I’ll notify everyone else to search for the Common Knotgrass!”

“I’ve seen the Common Knotgrass!” All of a sudden, a chuckle was heard.

Chu Li frowned as he watched the attractive young man walking over to them slowly.

He had noticed him earlier but did not say a word as he wanted to hide the fact that he possessed the Omniscient Mirror.
