Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 743: Chapter 739: Fourth Level

Fu Biqiong looked steadily at Fu Zheng.

Fu Zheng said, ”Master...”

”You think that once we enter the Prince Mansion, we will have its support, and no one will dare to bully us anymore, right?”

Fu Zheng hesitated.

”Silly child,” Fu Biqiong shook her head and said, ”And don’t you think, we have so many Venerables now, it’s others who are afraid of us.”

”It’s different,” Fu Zheng lightly shook her head.

Fu Biqiong laughed, ”How is it different?”

She was currently feeling very pleased with herself.

The present state is the ideal situation she has always pursued.

More Venerables appearing in the sect, overshadowing other sects, so no one dares to provoke them, enabling free cultivation and living.

Now this ideal situation has become reality.

Under such circumstances, how could she be willing for Fu Zheng to venture into danger?

The master and disciple living a peaceful life is better than anything.

As for becoming a Spirit Venerable, she doesn’t even think about it; being a Venerable is enough.

Never heard of any Demon Sect having a Spirit Venerable.

The moment they start practicing Demon Techniques, it means they are forever detached from Spirit Venerable status.

As for the realm of Venerable, going from First Transition to Nine Transitions, that just takes time to slowly accumulate, year after year.

Anyway, a Venerable’s lifespan is long enough.

Among Venerables, the strength difference mainly lies in the realm of Martial Skill.

The Bamboo Sect now possesses the Second Grade Sword Technique, it is an advancement of the Green Bamboo Sword Technique, practicing it is smooth and naturally saves a lot of effort, surely allowing them to stand proudly above all sects.

Why let Fu Zheng venture into danger?

Fu Zheng softly said, ”We are a female sect; they look down on us immediately.”

”When they know how many Venerables we have, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a female sect or male sect.”

”They may not believe it,” Fu Zheng said.

Fu Biqiong chuckled lightly, ”Then just beat them into believing it; they ultimately need a good show of power.”

”Master, our Sword Technique isn’t strong enough, while Phoenix Dynasty’s Swordsmanship is flourishing.”

”Xiao Zheng, you are too ambitious; a Second Grade Sword Technique is sufficient, do Sunset Sect and Feiyun Sect possess First-Grade Martial Art?”

”But having none now doesn’t mean won’t have in the future.”

”You’re thinking too far ahead.”

”Master, if we don’t advance, we retreat; after gaining so many Venerables, they will undoubtedly find ways to improve strength, or produce Venerables, but Venerables won’t come out as wanted, or improve Martial Arts, I feel they will work hard in this regard.”

Fu Biqiong frowned in contemplation.

At this time, Zhu Yijing slowly opened her eyes with a cheerful smile.

”Junior Sister Zhu, Venerable Zhu, congratulations.”

”Senior Sister, who would have thought I would have this day, is this real?”

Zhu Yijing looked up at the sky, then around, and finally at herself.

There’s always a bit of unreality, fearing being in a dream.

After all, such a scenario has only appeared in dreams.

”Junior Master Zhu, there’s no mistake, we’ve all become Venerables.”

”Is it real?”

Fu Zheng stepped forward and lightly touched the back of Zhu Yijing’s hand, her slender fingers carrying sword aura.

Zhu Yijing hurriedly dodged but couldn’t evade, only able to use powers to block.

Fu Zheng’s Sword Technique was a level higher than her Junior Master, more agile and swift.

Feeling the stinging pain on her hand back, Zhu Yijing immediately beamed with joy.

——

”Prince Consort, is that Heart-Clearing Technique really good?”

The two walked on the bustling street; the sky hung with strings of large red lanterns.

Even though the lanterns hung densely, strings and clusters, it wasn’t as bright as the daylight.

This dimness added some mystery to the Imperial City.

At this moment, people’s senses felt sharper, emotions more stirred, and emotions surpassed rationality.

Chu Zhiyuan walked with arms behind his back, clad in a yellow robe, the jade pendant at his waist highlighting his identity.

Li Yuzhen wore a white robe, a longsword at her waist, walking beside him.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Being able to suppress Demon Techniques, how could it not be good?”

He has the Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror, so naturally he has no need for the Heart-Clearing Technique.

But would not for that reason dismiss the Heart-Clearing Technique.

So far, what he knows can suppress demonic thoughts is only this.

Thus seeing the preciousness of the Heart-Clearing Technique.

It directly acts upon the power of the soul, a force of a very high level.

If its mysteries could be penetrated, it would greatly benefit the Infinite Brightness Scripture.

He reached into his sleeve and took out a jade token, feeling like jade but actually bamboo.

There were dense small characters on it, invisible without adequate eyesight.

Chu Zhiyuan had already scanned the text; purely text without pattern, it is the Heart-Clearing Technique.

Just two hundred small characters, yet of such power, showing its wonder.

He put it back into his sleeve with emotion, ”Martial arts in the world are truly wonderful.”

The martial arts of Little Outer Heaven compared to those here, whether in power or their mysterious level, indeed quite behind.

...

Little Outer Heaven

Inside Prince Qing Mansion, Chu Zhiyuan sat cross-legged on the bed, attempting to cultivate the Heart-Clearing Technique.

A fresh breath naturally arose, the brain felt like soaked in soothing spring, refreshing and swift, thoughts became light and profound.

At the same time, walking through the streets of the Imperial City, his head felt like immersed in a spring.

A smile instinctively spread on his face.

Between his main body and avatar, the soul connects; this Heart-Clearing Technique can simultaneously affect both, any practice by one side benefits the other.

Sitting on the bed, Chu Zhiyuan suddenly opened his eyes.

His middle garment puffed up, eyes became dazzling, the whole person seemed to emit light.

Unknowingly, he broke through the Third Layer of Golden Tower, cultivation reached Grandmaster Fourth Layer.

He looked up towards the direction of the Imperial Palace.

Above the Imperial Palace hangs the Emperor’s Sword; at this moment, it seemed not so heavily oppressive.

The Heart-Clearing Technique circulated endlessly, thoughts moved like lightning, eyes fixed on Emperor’s Sword, wanting to see its pattern clearly.

Suddenly birthed a bold idea.

Could he forge Emperor’s Sword?

Now having enough prestige and many believers.

All making his Incarnation Divine Power slowly strengthen bit by bit.

By further progression, perhaps he could forge Emperor’s Sword, not manifest externally but forge in the mind only.

Need first to understand Emperor’s Sword’s internal structure to imitate.

Unfortunately, Outer Heaven does not have Emperor’s Sword, nor any record thereof.

Very likely a unique product of Little Outer Heaven.

Only from Emperor’s Sword itself can handle it, Super Sense still cannot insight, likely due to insufficient soul power, need continuous improvement.

”Prince Consort, will Miss Fu agree?”

”Yes, no problem.”

”I think Fu Sect Leader won’t agree.”

”She won’t be able to refuse Miss Fu.” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”This Miss Fu’s making decisions well.”

”To truly recruit a Demon Sect disciple as guard, the Court might...”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Just say they offered the Heart-Clearing Technique.”

”This surely is a way.” Li Yuzhen nodded.

The Heart-Clearing Technique is so effective, exactly countering the misgivings of Demon Techniques, for the Court, this is indeed a Miracle Technique.

Placing a disciple in the Prince Mansion becomes unremarkable.

”...”

”You want to say give His Highness a share?”

”...Forget it.” Li Yuzhen shook her head.

”Truly give up?” Chu Zhiyuan looked askance at her.

Li Yuzhen softly shook her head, ”Prince Consort personally gives to the Court, merit is greater.”

His Highness’s merit is already large enough, accomplishments plentiful, no need to add more.

But if Prince Consort goes to the Imperial City then offers it to the Court, then it’s Prince Consort’s great merit.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed.
