Gu Yue was secretly angry but he was shocked as well .

No wonder when King An sent them, he exhorted them to be wary of Chu Li's Light-body Technique . Initially, Gu Yue had thought that his own Light-body Technique was good enough to be extraordinary in the martial arts world but he did not think that Chu Li's skill was not lacking despite such a young age .

Gu Yue did not activate his secret technique to stimulate his potential . Otherwise, his speed would double up .

He was still rational . If Gu Yue really did that and unleashed all his capacity, he would need to rest for a day and if the Princess saw that, she would laugh her head off .

More importantly, if he used his secret technique, Chu Li might do the same . If this happened and he lagged, then Gu Yue would lose his reputation entirely . It was always good to leave a leeway .

Xiao s.h.i.+ looked at the scenery around her . Her body slowly became more relaxed until she had almost put her entire weight on Chu Li's hand . Xiao s.h.i.+ closed her eyes .

Chu Li used his inner energy to s.h.i.+eld her from the wind as if there was a winds.h.i.+eld in front of her . The strong wind transformed into a gentle breeze which made her clothes flutter . It seemed as if Xiao s.h.i.+ was walking over ripples and riding over dust . She looked like a fairy . Gu Yue could not help but steal glances at her from time to time with his peripheral vision .

Gu Yue felt that his inner concentration was distracted as he could not control himself from not turning around .

Gu Yue used all his might for his Light-body Technique; his speed was shocking and he was faster than a galloping horse . He had already traveled a mile in just a blink of an eye .

The t.i.tanium Temple was on the West side of the Fairy's Capital, about two thousand miles away . They arrived at the t.i.tanium Temple in the evening .

Xiao s.h.i.+ had already taken two naps by then and woke up leisurely . She opened her eyes and stretched herself, revealing her stunning curves .

"We're not there yet?"

"Princess, we're here!" Gu Yue replied respectfully .

Xiao s.h.i.+ stood outside the t.i.tanium Temple . She checked out the old temple, her clear eyes shone . "Is this the t.i.tanium Temple?"

"Princess, when I arrived I felt odd too . I didn't think that the t.i.tanium Temple would look like that . I've seen the Tempest Temple too – it's solemn, holy, and magnificent, which shows the honorable magnanimity of Buddhists . This place looks like a temple in a countryside instead . " Gu Yue laughed .

Xiao s.h.i.+ said, "They practice a different Dharma and they're incomparable . May I enter?"

"I'll have to ask," Gu Yue quickly answered .

He tapped on the door of the temple .

An intelligent looking novice opened the door and looked at him curiously then looked at Chu Li and Xiao s.h.i.+ .

"Which one of you is Almsgiver Xiao?" the novice asked .

Xiao s.h.i.+ answered, "Little monk, Xiao is my family name . "

"Indeed, a female almsgiver . " the novice smiled and greeted with her palms put together then announced loud and clear, "Master Senior Kong Hai welcomes the three of you . "

"Now Kong Hai becomes easy-going!" Xiao s.h.i.+ scoffed .

Chu Li laughed . "It's good enough that we can enter . "

Xiao s.h.i.+'s face turned dark . "Thank you very much, little monk!"

The novice welcomed the three of them into the temple and they entered the courtyard .

In the courtyard, over a hundred monks were there; old monks, teenage monks, and little monks .

The little monks were in the most inner circle, the teenage monks were in the middle circle and the old monks were on the outermost circle .

In the heart of the circle, Kong Hai sat calmly and peacefully .

Chu Li noticed that the golden lights were placed in a few of the stupa . Little people were vaguely seen sitting in full-lotus posture in the golden light which shrouded over the entire t.i.tanium Temple . Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror did not function here so he could not see anything at all .

It was hard to tell the monks who possessed divine powers apart from those who did not . From their appearances, they did not look like they practice martial arts .

Kong Hai crossed his legs as he sat on a yellow cattail ha.s.sock . Other than a purple cam wooden box, there was nothing else .

He shut his eyes and did not move .

Chu Li looked at him for a few moments . At that moment, Kong Hai was filled with a demeanor of a senior monk in Buddhism – he was calm and peaceful as if he was a completely different person from the Kong Hai that used to hunt after him to kill him .

The monks around remained still too . It was so quiet that they could only hear the sound of the wind around them . Their footsteps were loud and clear .

Kong Hai opened his eyes slowly and waved his hand .

The novice said, "Almsgiver Xiao, Almsgiver Chu, Master Senior Kong Hai welcomes the both of you . "

Gu Yue looked at the novice, the novice closed his eyes and did not say a word .

When Xiao s.h.i.+ looked at Chu Li, he nodded .

Both of them walked past all the monks with bald heads and arrived before Kong Hai .

"Amitabha… Almsgiver Xiao, Almsgiver Chu, I welcome you!" Kong Hai greeted them with his palms closed .

Chu Li laughed and said, "Is the Revered Sir Kong Hai really going to pa.s.s away?"

"Yes . My destiny has come to an end and it's time to return . " Kong Hai showed an amiable smile . He was calm .

Chu Li said, "Revered Sir before you go, can you help me with my confusions?"

Kong Hai smiled and said, "Almsgiver Chu, please go ahead . "

Chu Li said, "Revered Sir, I find it very hard to believe that you'd help King An to kill . "

"Why not?" Kong Hai laughed .

Chu Li shook his head . "Revered Sir, you must be disillusioned with the worldly wealth and splendor . I don't think you're doing this for power, are you?"

"I can kill, or not, I can help King An, or not, as a person who cultivated, if I can't follow my heart, how can I see through the illusory of the world? Things that must be done, things that must not be done, they're all just a piece of mind . When King An requested me to help, I could feel it in my heart that my opportunity had come so I followed King An's instructions . It was not for anything else . " Kong Hai smiled .

Chu Li's face changed slightly, he glanced slowly towards the monks who were sitting with their legs crossed .

The little ones looked intelligent, the teenage ones had a reflection of G.o.d, and the older ones were like dead trees . They looked calm and peaceful as they were placid .

Chu Li suddenly understood . When Kong Hai listened to King An's orders to kill both of them, it was not for the t.i.tanium Temple and it was not for King An too . He had just wanted to do it .

The way the t.i.tanium Temple did things was different from the Tempest Temple . Everything they did was for self-cultivation as the world was just a place for that . Whether they would kill or not, it was all just for self-cultivation .

On the other hand, the Tempest Temple had a strict commandment which struck people with awe . Whereas the t.i.tanium Temple paid no attention to the mortal world . They acted recklessly and did not spare a glance for the world, which was much scarier .

"Revered Sir, you had a feeling in your heart . What opportunity was it?" Chu Li asked .

Kong Hai answered, "My chance to leave my life has come . This is all thanks to you, Almsgiver Chu . "

Chu Li laughed . "I don't deserve it . "

Kong Hai said, "When I killed you, I killed myself too . The Kong Hai you see now is not the Kong Hai from before . The Kong Hai now understands the mundane world and needs to leave the world behind . Of course, I'll have to thank you, Almsgiver Chu!"

Chu Li buried himself in thought, his mind was flowing like an electric current .

Although the old monk's words were unclear, Chu Li could understand it because he came from the Autumn Temple .

Perhaps the t.i.tanium Sarira Skill made Kong Hai realize that when he killed someone, he cut off all the karma in the world . His concept of heart was lifted, so he could finally leave the world .

Kong Hai turned around and said, "Almsgiver Xiao . "

Xiao s.h.i.+ looked at him calmly . "Old monk, what do you have to say?"

Kong Hai pushed the box forward . "Almsgiver Xiao, this is your hair . Not one strand is missing . "

Xiao s.h.i.+ scoffed .

Chu Li received the box and opened it .

Indeed it was Xiao s.h.i.+'s hair . He placed the hair in his palm and rubbed it . There was a faint burnt smell and it turned into powder and fell to the ground as the wind blew .

Kong Hai took out the Sarira prayer beads on his left wrist slowly and stared at it for a moment and sighed with a complicated look . He pa.s.sed it to Xiao s.h.i.+ . "This prayer bead is a personal belonging that I carry with me at all times . I'm gifting it to you, Almsgiver Xiao . With this prayer bead on you, no divine powers can get near you . "

Chu Li immediately signaled to Xiao s.h.i.+ that it was a previous item and she must accept it .

Xiao s.h.i.+ frowned as she looked at the Sarira prayer bead . She shook her head and said, "Old monk, since this is your personal belonging, why are you gifting it to me? It's better that you leave it for your descendants . Can't you see that their eyes are already s.h.i.+ning at the sight of it?"

However, Chu Li knew the reason she despised the Sarira prayer bead . Xiao s.h.i.+ did not want to wear it because it was ugly .

Kong Hai put on a friendly smile then laughed out loud .

Xiao s.h.i.+ looked at him snappily .

Kong Hai held back his laughter . "This is just a small token of appreciation from an old man like me . It's also me apologizing to you, Almsgiver Xiao . "

"I accept your apology . There's no need for the prayer bead . I think it'll be better for you to leave it to your disciples and juniors . " Xiao s.h.i.+ waved her hand .
