Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 1168 - 734: Chu Mo’s Phone Call
Chapter 1168: Chapter 734: Chu Mo’s Phone Call
In front of the four courts of Shaolin Temple, within a radius of one kilometer, the area was entirely under martial law. Around it, at least dozens of Discipline Court disciples holding sticks guarded the vicinity, making it impossible for ordinary tourists to approach.
Right in front of the temple along a mountain path, there was a pit with a diameter of one meter. The pit was smooth and neatly rounded, and at first glance, it appeared bottomless.
The newly appointed Abbot Zhi Hui, with his hands clasped in respect, was welcoming the person in front of him.

As the former Chief of the Shaolin Discipline Court and also a disciple of the former Abbot Zhi Shang, Zhi Hui possessed the strength of a top-tier senior Great Grandmaster but was more low-profile. Even within Shaolin, few knew his true identity.
Twenty years ago, during the selection of the top ten Grandmasters, Zhi Hui had already reached the strengths of an upper-tier Great Grandmaster, ranking even above the then Zhi Shang; it could be said that Zhi Hui was genuinely the number one figure in Hua Country.
The selection of the top ten Grandmasters should have been attended by Zhi Hui, but he, being indifferent by nature, did not care for such external matters. Moreover, he was in closed-door training at that time, so he let Zhi Hui take that opportunity instead.
Because of this, Zhi Shang, who was rated as the premier Grandmaster of Hua Country, smoothly became the new Abbot of Shaolin until today, twenty years later, when Zhi Shang passed away, and Zhi Hui took over his position.
At this moment, the powerful, incognito new Abbot of Shaolin, hands clasped in respect, bowed deeply. In front of him, a middle-aged scholarly gentleman casually observed the surroundings with a placid expression.
“Within a radius of one kilometer, all birds, fish, and creatures, all flora and fauna, bow down. This power has completely transcended the mundane and belongs to a realm beyond humanity… but…”
The scholarly gentleman looked puzzled, and after he finished speaking, Zhi Hui slowly raised his head, speaking very earnestly:
“Grandmaster, on that day of the battle, I was nearby and witnessed the entire fight.
Senior brother crushed the Spiritual Pearl and nearly ascended to Celestial God, although he only reached the Half-step Celestial God realm, he somewhat grasped the transcending Power of Laws. But in front of Mr. Chu, senior brother didn’t even have the strength to fight back…
According to my estimation, that Mr. Chu might have already broken the mortal barrier, truly stepping into the realm of Celestial God.”
As Zhi Hui’s words fell, the mysterious middle-aged man suddenly looked up towards the sky.
Even though a day and a night had passed, there still formed a diameter of ten-kilometer blank space in the sky ten thousand meters above. Within that ten kilometers, the sky was exceptionally clear with not even a wisp of cloud, while outside it, white clouds floated leisurely. It seemed that even the clouds in the sky dared not approach that purified range.
“Power of Laws… transcending all natural beings, the supreme rule power that transcends life and death cycle.
Only this kind of power could cause such an effect, but… there’s not even a slight residue of the Power of Laws around here, if it really were the Power of Laws, there should be at least a trace of its presence around!
There are only two possibilities, one is that the person deliberately dispersed the residual aura around before leaving, the other possibility is that the person used a mysterious power similar to the Power of Laws, but it wasn’t the Power of Laws.”
If it’s the former, it only shows that this person is overly cautious, but if it’s the latter…”
The middle-aged man suddenly paused, his gaze casting a glance at the Abbot of Shaolin beside him, speaking in a very commanding tone:
“Lift the martial law here; otherwise, it only attracts more attention from the interested parties. Just find someone to seal up this pit.”
As the middle-aged man’s voice fell, his figure gradually faded, and as Abbot Zhi Hui respectfully saw him off, the person gradually disappeared from view, leaving his final words lingering in the woods.
“This time, Shaolin has shown significant merit in protection, and I, from my family’s sect, will personally assist you in breaking through in three days!”
The last whisper of words disappeared, and at that moment, the normally desireless Zhi Hui felt a ripple in his heart.
It’s known that he had reached the realm of high-tier Great Grandmaster twenty years ago. For twenty years, he had been seeking various methods to break through, yet he could distinctly feel that a mysterious force above the Great Grandmaster level was suppressing his cultivation. To break through and reach the Celestial God realm, he would have to shatter this mortal barrier.
If relying solely on his own strength, Zhi Hui might never break through this barrier, but since the elder from the family had promised to personally assist him, it implied a possible breakthrough.
For Zhi Hui, who had been waiting for this day for twenty years, the breakthrough in three days represented the pursuit of his lifetime, and even a person with a heart and cultivation as steadfast as his couldn’t help but be shaken.
However, Zhi Hui was ultimately an enlightened being. Realizing that his mind was wavering, he quickly adjusted his spirit, and with a melodious Buddhist Law, he immediately stabilized his mind.
The Discipline Court disciples of the Shaolin Temple quickly received the order and lifted the blockade around the area. As for the one-meter diameter pit in front of the Shaolin gate, it had been sealed by Shaolin overnight, blending in indistinguishably with the surrounding environment. Unless someone knew what had happened here, even if they reached this place, even right above that pit, they wouldn’t notice anything unusual.
