Seeing as they were doubtful, Chu Li smiled and released his aura.

The three of them suddenly felt as if a towering mountain had suppressed their bodies, so much so that they wanted to kneel on the ground as they could not catch their breaths.

Chu Li instantly withdrew his aura.

The three of them were anxious.

Young Zhao, you hid your martial arts? Elder Su was surprised.

Chu Li nodded with a smile. Of course I have to curb it.

This Elder Su shook his head as he smiled bitterly. Weve wasted our lives. How did you acquire such martial art skills?

They could not imagine how Chu Li must have cultivated as it required time to cultivate powerful heart techniques; it could not be accomplished in just one move. Even if he consumed spirit medicines, he could not increase his cultivation level too much as his body could not have endured it.

Chu Li explained, Ive obtained several wonderful heart techniques and combined them together. Back when I was sent to Yinyang Cave as a punishment, I benefited from the misfortune by absorbing the aura from Yinyang Cave. After I went into Isolated Cultivation, I have also gained apperception, which highly improved my cultivation level.

Even then, Elder Su and Elder Ren found it hard to believe.

By putting their utmost effort, their qualities were now considered rare. That being said, it had taken them their whole life to arrive at this state, so they could not believe that a young man had actually surpassed them.

When they thought about that, they were extremely envious of Chu Li.

Chu Li cast a look at them before he expressed, My martial arts is not worth mentioning at all as compared to the Saint!

He did not say that on purpose to act humble. In fact, the stronger his martial art was, the more he realized that Sun Mingyue was formidable and unfathomable.

At the moment, Chu Lis cultivation level was so high that he rarely found worthy opponents among Grandmasters. Initially, he thought that he could finally defeat Sun Mingyue, but he realized that he was still far from her. Sun Mingyues cultivation level was so profound that it was truly far beyond his imagination.

The Saint Elder Su and Elder Ren shook their heads helplessly.

Once they thought about the Saint, they felt powerless, let alone envious. She was truly favored by God and was unequaled by any other.

We cant compare ourselves to the Saint. Elder Su added, But I think youre almost on par with her, Young Zhao.

Chu Li replied, Im far from the Saint.

The Saint is indeed a rare genius, Elder Ren remarked.

Chu Li turned to look at Sun Yucheng. From what I heard, the Saints a princess?

Of course Ninth Elder Sisters a princess, Sun Yucheng answered casually.

Chu Li said, But I feel that the Saint doesnt like being a princess.

Sun Yucheng shook his head. Thats Ninth Elder Sisters privacy, I dare not talk about it.

Chu Li asked, Is it related to the emperor?

Have you heard? Sun Yucheng was clearly shocked. Since it was confidential information of the imperial family, it was impossible for others to know about this.

Chu Li only found out so much from reading his mind. He chuckled. Everyones curious about the Saints background. She was born in a noble family, yet she went through all the sufferings to learn martial arts. She even became the Saint.

Ninth Elder Sisters background is quite unique, Sun Yucheng mentioned.

Chu Li raised his brows.

Sun Yucheng said, Forget it, I shall not continue.

Yes, yes, it wont benefit us even if we find out. Elder Su quickly nodded.

Nevertheless, Chu Li saw Sun Yuchengs thoughts. Sun Mingyue was born of a concubine, hence she had never entered the palace, and nor was she accepted by the Imperial Household. Later when Sun Mingyues mother passed away, the emperor took her into the palace to raise her.

Even though Chu Li did not find out anything else from Sun Yuchengs mind, he figured that Sun Mingyues life in the palace must have been unfavorable.

Chu Li smiled. Thats a secret of the imperial family. No wonder Sun Mingyue treats Sun Yucheng so strangely.

Oh right, Young Master, where are we heading to? Chu Li asked.

Sun Yucheng replied, I found a mysterious clue from the imperial familys secret store.

Chu Li raised his brows.

Sun Yucheng continued, There was a Heavenly King Palm two thousand years ago, known to have shocked the world with his palm, and was unmatched by anybody else. You know about him, dont you?

Heavenly King Palm Chu Li pondered before he nodded.

He searched his mind and remembered the person.

Chu Li had once read about this person in the library of King Ans Imperial Residence. Sure enough, Heavenly King Palm was known to have left everyone in awe as he had endless powers and was untouchable. Nobody could block his palm, and nobody was a worthy opponent to him.

Most importantly, he was an Enlightened Master.

Back then, Heaven and Earth had not changed, and spirit beasts had not entered Hundred-Thousand Hills. There were not just several Enlightened Masters, but there were up to two hundred of them. Even when the martial art world flourished, he was unparalleled among all Enlightened Masters, which was truly extraordinary.

Chu Li frowned. Did you find the legacy of Heavenly King Palm, Young Master?

Sun Yucheng replied excitedly, I heard that Heavenly King Palm later lived in seclusion in Ascending Dragon Mountain, so its very likely that he died there too.

It has been two thousand years, Young Master. Can we find it? Elder Su laughed. If its attainable, someone wouldve found it already.

No, no. Sun Yucheng shook his head. Not everyone knows about this, nobody knows where Heavenly King Palm lived. I came across it on a random note, a woodman accidentally said it.

If we can find it, other people can find it too, right? Elder Ren raised a question.

Sun Yucheng giggled. Were here for the experience anyway, so lets try our luck. For all we know, well find it! But it doesnt matter if we dont, well just take this as a trip.

Thats true. Elder Su chuckled.

Chu Li alerted, Someones following us.

Through the Omniscient Mirror, he realized that someone had followed them out of the city and was two hundred meters away from them. Besides, two hundred meters was a safe distance away so they would not have noticed.

Chu Li suddenly had plans for Sun Yucheng. If he could use Sun Yucheng to overturn Li Dynasty, it would be helpful toward Ji Dynasty.

Ji Dynastys future belonged to Xu An, and they were enemies with Li Dynasty.

Chu Li had to subdue Sun Yucheng if he wanted him to listen to him, but Sun Yucheng was a knowledgeable prince, which made this a difficult task.

Hence, Chu Li had to display his skills for Sun Yucheng to be convinced.

Someones following us? Sun Yuchengs face changed.

Elder Su and Elder Ren looked concerned too.

Chu Li responded, Its just my intuition, but I trust it very much as it has saved me multiple times.

Looks like my brothers are quite considerate. Sun Yucheng sneered, Theyve sent people to protect me!

Chu Li smiled. There are only two of them.

He then suggested, Elder Su, Elder Ren, well find out if we make a test.

Alright, Elder Su agreed. Lets go around them.

With that, they steered away from the main road and went through a small path.

The small path was a passage to a mountain far away in which they had to go past a forest.

However, it was not wise to take the small path when the sky was dark.

Two hundred meters behind them, two riders appeared on the small path. They looked ahead of them hesitantly before they decided to follow.

In the forest, Elder Su, Elder Ren, and Sun Yucheng hid among the trees, standing on branches to observe. On the other hand, Chu Li continued forward with the four horses.

Soon enough, they saw two riders making their way over.
