In the following days, the two of them focused on practicing and ignored Nie Youlong. When they felt that the progress was slow, they stopped to take a rest, chat, talk about interesting things, and relax.
In such an environment, Sun Mingyue seemed to have opened her guard and told Chu Li about her affairs.
She was originally a descendant of the royal family, and was actually the daughter of the current emperor, but she was never recognized by the royal family. Her mother was a concubine ranked at the bottom of the palace. She died after giving birth to her, and she was adopted by her master since she was a child.
Because the master was a saint and later inherited the position of leader, she could not get married. He treated her as his biological daughter, took great care of her and raised her carefully. He had been looking for elixirs since she was a child, which laid an extremely solid foundation for her.
That's why she could directly become the top master in the world after receiving the initiation from Tianwaitian. She is almost invincible in the realm of Tianwaitian. Only masters from the gods can pose a threat to her.
She had been exposed to the affairs of the church since she was a child, and the complexity and intrigues of people's hearts. Unknowingly, she had the ability to see into people's hearts, which made her even more powerful. From then on, the master trusted her to hand over the teaching affairs to her.
She also did an outstanding job. With her outstanding martial arts and extraordinary means, people's hearts were invisible to her, and she managed the Holy Sect of Light to flourish, overwhelming the other three sects.
Others see her as being able to do it with ease, but they don't know how hard she works. She has no friends, only academic affairs. The Great Bright Peak is like a cage imprisoning her in it, and there are always endless academic affairs and files to deal with.
She had never enjoyed anything that the girl next to her enjoyed. She was only born for the Holy Religion of Light in this life.
But she never felt anything bad. Only this time, after being trapped here, she reflected on her life, and suddenly felt that she was a little unfair and that her life was too pale.
But things in the world are often unsatisfactory. Even if she knows that she will still have to return to her original life after leaving the valley, she will still have to become that high-ranking saint, or even the leader of the church, and spend her whole life toiling in religious affairs.
Chu Li sighed secretly and shook his head.
She was living in a high position and had no friends. What looked like a glamorous life to outsiders was actually extremely boring. Countless people envied her power, but it was hard to sympathize with her suffering.
The two faced each other sincerely, and Chu Li also talked about his own experience. He grew up in a temple and had profound Buddhist practice. He could have become a generation of eminent monks. In the end, he felt that living like this was a bit unfair, so he left the temple and entered the Duke's Mansion to pursue people. The glory, wealth, prosperity and hustle and bustle of the world.
Now that I think about it, he actually has a deeper understanding of Buddhism, which is no less than practicing in the temple.
"Your Dharma is profound enough, and your concentration is stronger than that of the old monk." The two of them were sitting by the pool talking, seducing Nie Youlong to come ashore, and Sun Mingyue gave Chu Li a white look.
She thought of the time when they first fell into the valley, when the two of them were poisoned by the evil dragon and burned with desire. Even in such a situation, Chu Li could still stabilize his mind and not be disturbed by the poison, and he could sit in his arms calmly.
This kind of concentration is rare in the world.
Thinking about it now, it has only been a little more than a month, but it feels like more than ten years ago.
If you really can't get out, it's actually not bad to live here like this. Sun Mingyue's thought flashed again, but it was pressed into the bottom of his heart.
She vaguely guessed why the Brahma Wheel could not be opened. In the final analysis, Chu Li's heart could not be fully opened. He had been resisting in his heart and he had been sticking to Xiao Qi.
She knew that Chu Li liked her a little bit, but he couldn't compare with Xiao Qi. Only by surpassing Xiao Qi could the two souls merge and reach the best state of cultivation to achieve perfection.
She never pointed this out, believing that Chu Li himself knew about Genjie.
But knowing and doing are two different things.
She couldn't force Chu Li, she could only practice slowly, believing that one day she would succeed, and she didn't want to force Chu Li. Even if she didn't succeed, it wouldn't matter. Living here is not that sad.
As time passed, the two of them made great progress.
At noon that day, the sun shone directly into the pool, and the bottom of the pool could be seen clearly. The blue beads could be seen at a glance, as if they were shining with misty light.
"It's almost done this time." Chu Li smiled and said, "Let's lure the evil dragon away first, and then I'll wrap it around while you go down and get the beads."
"I'll pester it, and you get down." Sun Mingyue shook her head and said, "You are faster."
"...that's fine." Chu Li nodded.
Sun Mingyue is more than capable of dealing with Nie Youlong on land. He can't defeat him but can hurt him. Nie Youlong is no threat.
Chu Li and Sun Mingyue jumped into the water, and then shot at the blue beads. When they were halfway away, Nie Youlong had appeared.
The two were extremely fast, and Nie Youlong followed closely. Just when they were about to catch up, the two jumped into the air, landed on the ground, turned around and ran away.
Nie Youlong spit out a mouthful of water and fell back into the pool.
The two fell from the air into the pool and rushed towards the blue bead again. Nieyoulong chased them again. They ran again and fled back to the outside of the pool again. When Nieyoulong came back, they returned and escaped again.
After three back and forths like this, Nie Youlong finally became so angry that it pursued him even when it reached land. Chu Li and Sun Mingyue separated, and Nie Youlong finally chased Sun Mingyue.
In its opinion, Sun Mingyue is more tender and delicious.
Chu Li waited for Sun Mingyue to lure it away, but was blocked by a forest of water pools. Chu Li quietly got into the water pool, silently, not letting Nieyoulong notice, and then picked up the blue beads as quickly as possible.
The beads the size of dragon's eyes were in my hand, and it was immediately cold to the bones, and my whole body seemed to be frozen.
Chu Li desperately mobilized his internal strength. After he was able to move, he tried his best to escape. As soon as he reached the water, he ran into the roaring Nie Youlong.
Chu Li turned into a shadow and joined Sun Mingyue and got into the cave.
The evil dragon blocked the entrance of the cave again, howling low and pouring poison into the cave.
Chu Li and Sun Mingyue ignored it. The Supreme Vajra Sutra can drive away the poison of the evil dragon.
"What on earth is this?" Sun Mingyue sat sideways on Chu Li's couch, her slender legs tightly closed, and frowned: "It doesn't seem to be anything rare."
The two have been studying it for a while. The blue bead exudes a soft halo and is bitingly cold. Other than that, there is nothing strange about it. It looks like a blue luminous pearl.
Chu Li frowned and stared at the blue bead, shaking his head.
The Great Round Mirror cannot see through the blue bead, which is blocked by invisible power. This power is similar to the power of a man and a woman connected to the sky, so it is absolutely extraordinary.
"I speculate that it came from the sky." Chu Li said.
Sun Mingyue said: "Not all things that fall from the sky are good, some are also waste."
"But it is by no means a waste." Chu Li shook his head and said: "It seems that the time has not come yet, it is not the time to solve the mystery."
Sun Mingyue sighed: "I don't know when the time will be."
Chu Li smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will definitely go out."
Sun Mingyue gave him a blank look and said nothing.
Chu Li said: "Let's continue practicing and we must break away from the Brahma Wheel!"
"Okay." Sun Mingyue hummed.
While the two were practicing, the blue beads were put aside. When Sun Mingyue's body trembled violently, she suddenly stretched out her legs, and her toes accidentally hit the blue beads.
A ray of blue light suddenly lit up, covering their bodies.
PS: Update completed! I attended the annual meeting, traveled all day, and am exhausted. I can only write this. I’m really sorry.
