Chu Li was overjoyed. “What secret skills?”

“The strongest one is the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique, which can break through an Enlightened Master’s protection and severely injure him. However, Enlightened Masters can’t be killed. You should just give up.” Elder Bai said.

Chu Li said, “It’ll be enough if I’m able to seriously injure an Enlightened Master.”

“If you want to obtain this Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique, you need to make great contributions.” Elder Bai shook his head. “You’ll need at least ten major events before even hoping for it. Xiao Du, you need to be patient. It’ll take at least five to ten years.”

“…Yes.” Chu Li nodded forcefully, putting on a determined but difficult expression.

“Before you enter the sect, you need to verify your true identity. After you finish questioning yourself, we’ll see if you really cultivated the Heavenly Demonic Power, or are simply a spy.” Elder Bai said. “This is the foundation of how our Heavenly Demonic Sect has survived until today.”

“Yes.”

Elder Bai jerked his head. “Xiao Qu, call the other three Elders!”

“Yes.” Qu Jing answered and left.

Chu Li looked up at the Heavenly Demon Statue.

Elder Bai smiled. “This Heavenly Demon Statue is the treasure of our Heavenly Demonic Sect. You’ll have to question yourself in front of it later. Only after passing it can you enter the Heavenly Demonic Sect!”

Chu Li frowned. “Question myself?”

“That is the true test.” Elder Bai said slowly. “If you can’t pass it, we can’t accept you into the sect.”

“What is regarded as a failure?” Chu Li asked.

“Those who hide, those who are hostile, those who have ulterior motives.” Elder Bai shook his head. “Although it’s rare, it still happens.”

Since the Heavenly Demonic Sect was secretive and unknown to outsiders, all who join the Heavenly Demonic Sect are brought back and introduced personally by current Heavenly Demonic Sect disciples. The disciples were not stupid and it was not easy to fool them.

Even if the disciples were fooled, the person would fail when they question themselves, which would lead to them being discover and destroyed.

Therefore, for the Heavenly Demonic Sect to continue its legacy for so many years, this stage played a very important role.

The next moment, three Elders slowly entered. Their eyes searched Chu Li, trying to see through him.

“Senior Brothers, this is Du Feng. He wants to enter our Heavenly Demonic Sect, but he must first question himself.” Elder Bai said lowly. “Let’s have a look.”

“Alright.” The three answered. They flew up and pressed on the four limbs of the Heavenly Demon Statue.

Two on the arms and two on the legs, they started to work.

A strange force emerged and fell on the Heavenly Demon Statue.

The Heavenly Demon Statue seemed to come to life. Its dull eyes glowed with a light that fell on Chu Li. It seemed as if the Heavenly Demon Statue was staring at Chu Li.

Chu Li suddenly felt an invisible force squeeze into his body, and the Heavenly Demonic Power started to work on its own.

Chu Li was shocked. He did not think that this Heavenly Demon Statue would be so mystical, circulating his heart technique along with his cultivation. It was indeed a heritage treasure.

Chu Li was intoxicated in this state when he suddenly felt the Heavenly Demonic Power reverse. He was unable to control it at all.

His expression seemed to change.

It was trying to reveal his original appearance, which greatly startled him. He frantically used the Heavenly Demon Scripture against this strange force. However, the Heavenly Demon Statue was indeed powerful. It wanted to control his inner energy.

The Heavenly Demon Statue seemed to have sensed his resistance and started to inject a steady stream of power, wanting to reverse the Heavenly Demonic Power and return Chu Li to his original appearance. Chu Li exhausted his spiritual force to resist against it.

The Heavenly Demonic Power froze in place, neither advancing nor disappearing.

A moment later, Chu Li was struck by a thought and his consciousness suddenly focused on the Great Sun Ru Lai’s Scripture of Light in the void of his mind.

Immediately, the Great Sun Ru Lai’s Scripture of Light echoed in his mind, sending out an invisible force that dispersed the power from the Heavenly Demon Statue.

The four Elders did not know what was happening with Chu Li but saw that his appearance had not changed and was his true face. They sighed secretly at Chu Li’s naivety. He did not know how to change his own appearance.

As a disciple of the Heavenly Demonic Sect, changing appearances was a basic technique that could be turned into an instinct. Outsiders could not know their original appearances.

“Du Feng, what’s your real name?” Elder Bai asked slowly.

His voice was calm and gentle, seemingly full of sincerity. It made others subconsciously open their hearts when listening to it.

“Du Feng.” Chu Li answered calmly.

He saw how to answer from Elder Bai’s mind.

Elder Bai said, “Then, why did you come to the Heavenly Demonic Sect?”

“To dedicate myself to the Heavenly Demonic Power and cultivate the Antique Study of the Heavenly Demonic Sect, and to get revenge.” Chu Li said calmly.

Elder Bai asked, “Who is the target of your revenge?”

“The Ji Dynasty Emperor!” Chu Li responded calmly.

Elder Bai’s expression changed as he turned to look at the other three.

The other three also frowned.

Elder Bai asked, “How are you going to get revenge?”

Chu Li’s face darkened as he said coldly, “A debt of blood must be paid in blood! I’ll kill his son, then his daughter, then his concubine! …Even if I can’t kill him, I still want him to suffer grievously!”

Elder Bai said, “It’s very easy for an Enlightened Master to deal with you. You will die. Are you not afraid?”

“If I can’t get revenge, then living on isn’t any different from dying.” Chu Li said calmly.

“Hm… You don’t have any other reasons for joining the Heavenly Demonic Sect?”

“I want to cultivate the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique.” Chu Li answered. “I have to cultivate the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique.”

Elder Bai asked, “How did you obtain the Legacy of the Heavenly Demonic Power?”

Chu Li repeated what he had said earlier, still calm.

Elder Bai asked for his identity again before finally stopping. The four people descended from the Heavenly Demon Statue, their expressions pale and showing exhaustion.

Chu Li was lost in thought and remained motionless.

“Sigh… Senior Brother Bai, we can’t accept this disciple.” A short and thin Elder shook his head. “It’s too troublesome. He wants to assassinate an Enlightened Master. There’s no need to shelter this kind of trouble!”

“Yes, Enlightened Masters should not be provoked. The losses will be greater than the gains.” Another voice echoed.

They all knew that Chu Li wanting to kill an Enlightened Master was suicide. There was no way Chu Li would live. Moreover, no Enlightened Master had been assassinated before.

“If he really wants to do this, killing the Emperor will definitely anger other Enlightened Masters.” Elder Bai sighed deeply. “They might come after us instead!”

If Chu Li hid, the Ji Dynasty Emperor would definitely direct his anger at the Heavenly Demonic Sect.

Although the Heavenly Demonic Sect was strong, it could not go up against Enlightened Masters. Even if they won, it would be at the cost of heavy losses. Their vitality would be weakened and the inheritance might be broken, so they decided not to recruit Chu Li into the sect.

Chu Li slowly returned to his senses and frowned. “I just had a dream.”

“You weren’t dreaming.” Elder Bai looked at the others and sighed helplessly at Chu Li. “Du Feng, the Heavenly Demonic Sect can’t accept you.”

“Why not?” Chu Li frowned. “I sincerely want to join the Heavenly Demonic Sect.”

“The Heavenly Demonic Sect isn’t suitable for you.” Elder Bai shook his head. “You didn’t pass the test.”

“What did I say?” Chu Li scoffed.

Elder Bai said, “You told us the target of your revenge… We can’t afford to offend him.”

“The Ji Dynasty Emperor. How would it be possible for him to come here?” Chu Li asked.

“We cannot guess what Enlightened Masters are capable of. The Heavenly Demonic Sect cannot risk this.” Elder Bai said. “That’s why, Xiao Du, you should go back.”
