Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 858: Chapter 854: Special Privilege

Li Miaotan shook her head.

It is easier to move mountains than to change opinions.

Trying to change the peoples’ mindset, to make them feel that Chu Zhiyuan is not an outsider, is extremely difficult.

Even if he made numerous contributions, they would still remember that he is a Prince of Yujing and not one of their own.

Li Cunyi said, ”People have feelings, little sister, you are too pessimistic.”

Li Miaotan let out a cold laugh.

She didn’t think of herself as pessimistic, but rather clear-headed, she couldn’t believe Li Cunyi didn’t see through it and was just saying nice things to placate people.

If one were truly fooled, in the end, they would only be heartbroken and disappointed.

It’s better to stay clear-headed all the time.

Especially at this time, having just killed so many experts from the Demon Clan and Demon Clan, being full of ambition, one shouldn’t expect the populace to be grateful and appreciative.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and patted her jade-like hand, indicating his understanding.

Li Miaotan snorted, ”Big brother, second brother, besides this matter, what else is there? You’re not thinking of driving me away, are you?”

”Little sister, what nonsense are you talking about!” Li Cunren said in a deep voice, ”Who is driving you away?!”

Li Cunyi hastily said, ”No one can drive you, our twelfth sister, away!”

Li Miaotan smiled, ”Did Father say anything?”

”There were some suggestions from the courtiers.” Li Cunyi shook his head, ”How could Father agree!”

Li Miaotan said, ”It’s better not to make things difficult for Father. I will personally speak to him and leave as soon as possible.”

Li Cunren shook his head, ”Little sister, don’t act recklessly.”

Li Cunyi said, ”If you really return to the Outer Realm Battlefield, you will face endless pursuit.”

”Let them come.” Li Miaotan snorted.

Li Cunyi and Li Cunren both shook their heads.

These were just words of anger.

She is currently only at the early rank of the Venerable Realm, not yet at middle or high rank.

Even with top-notch swordsmanship and a Phoenix Bloodline, when facing high-rank Venerables, she would have no choice but to flee.

If two or three high-rank Venerables attacked together, she would be doomed.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”If Madam left, why would they come? There are countless experts from the Demon Clan and Demon Clan, but I can’t believe they wouldn’t feel distressed after losing so many in hundreds.”

”Exactly, exactly.” Li Cunyi quickly said, ”What brother-in-law said is right, little sister, you still have to stay as bait.”

After all, this Phoenix Dynasty belongs to the Li Family’s Phoenix Dynasty, forcing the Princess away means next it would be the prince’s turn?

These courtiers don’t know satisfaction, don’t know their limits, but will only encroach more.

So this time, we absolutely can’t let, absolutely can’t let little sister leave.

Li Cunren said in a deep voice, ”I am already trying to find out who started the rumor!”

Li Cunyi said, ”Even if we can’t find out, we still need to investigate.”

In the end, even if we don’t find out, someone must be found to give the world an explanation.

Otherwise, anyone could spread rumors about the Imperial Family.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Big brother, the matter of tracing the rumor should actually seek help from the Fengtian Palace.”

”Fengtian Palace?”

”Relying on manpower, it’s challenging to find the one who spread the rumor, but Fengtian Palace has Spiritual Treasures.” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”The wonders of Spiritual Treasures are beyond imagination.”

Like the Heavenly Illusion Pavilion, the Heavenly Concealment Pearl, and the Swift Light Sword, all are beyond imagination.

”Then ask Fengtian Palace to take action!” Li Cunren said in a deep voice, ”Brother-in-law, about Fengtian Palace...”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”I’ve taken a great advantage, there’s nothing more to say, after a while, I still have to go to the Spirit Communication Pavilion.”

”Haha... amusing, truly amusing.” Li Cunren laughed heartily, unable to contain his joy.

”They surely won’t want to see brother-in-law.” Li Cunyi chuckled.

They could all imagine the frustration of Fengtian Palace.

Originally sending Chu Zhiyuan into the Spirit Communication Pavilion, they were certain he would gain nothing, as if it was a form of imprisonment.

Now he acquired a treasure.

In the future when he goes in again, who knows if he will acquire another treasure, Fengtian Palace is probably trembling with fear.

Although the treasures within the Spirit Communication Pavilion are ownerless, over the years they have long been regarded as belonging to Fengtian Palace.

Now that Chu Zhiyuan obtained them, how could they not feel the pain?

...

After the two chatted and laughed for a while, saying goodbye and leaving, Chu Zhiyuan sat back on his bed.

He began to review the situation of using the Swift Light Sword.

When activating the Swift Light Sword, it drew all the Spiritual Abyss power from Yongquan, transforming it into a strange power that enveloped him.

His body fell into a peculiar state, losing its weight, as if turning into a shadow.

Where his thoughts went, his body followed.

His speed was as fast as thought.

In such a state, his Mental State was exceptionally calm, his heart like a still lake.

In such a state, the Demon Clan and Demon Clan he saw seemed to turn into statues, allowing themselves to be pierced by him.

And at this time, the Heavenly Dragon Introduction also happened to exert a wonderful effect, enabling him to see Demon Crystals and Soul Pearls.

Thus, slaughter became an extremely simple matter, where his thoughts went, the sword tip followed.

One killed, then the next, and another.

Only when encountering a Venerable, the sword tip would be rebounded by the powerful force, increasing the consumption rapidly.

Under his sword tip, the protective True Yuan below Venerable was almost nonexistent.

While a Venerable’s protective power was extremely formidable, some even had treasures for protection.

But under the Swift Light Sword, they still couldn’t withstand it, or their treasures and Protective True Essence weren’t strong enough.

Chu Zhiyuan faintly felt that it was these Venerables who were not strong enough.

If encountered stronger Venerables, the sword tip probably wouldn’t easily pierce their Demon Crystals and Soul Pearls.

This Demon Crystal and Soul Pearl have already been absorbed by the Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror, stored in its inner space.

Thus, it seems the Swift Light Sword is not invincible, it is still limited by the realm.

With this sword, he could slaughter those below his realm like cutting grass, but it’s somewhat strenuous to kill those with a stronger realm.

There is still a need for realm improvement.

His forehead flickered and then disappeared from the original place, appearing on the Spiritual Abyss First Peak.

The First Technique of Spiritual Abyss Body Washing, the surging Spiritual Power drilled into Yongquan, absorbed by the Swift Light Sword.

The Swift Light Sword flickered with a purple-gold brilliance, flashing as if it were a bottomless pit.

Chu Zhiyuan faintly felt, after killing so many people, the Swift Light Sword became more agile and stronger.

Could this Spiritual Treasure also enhance itself?

Like himself cultivating, taking slaughter as the path of cultivation?

...

By evening, when Li Miaotan returned to the Prince Consort Mansion, her jade face was overshadowed with clouds.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her with a smile.

”Father is really stingy!”

”Not willing to reward?”

”Saying that the Spiritual Treasures of the Spirit Communication Pavilion are worth countless rewards.”

”That’s true.” Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”Indeed worth countless rewards.”

”This was acquired by you with skill, not rewarded by Father, mixing the two is just being deceitful!”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”The Emperor might think that other rewards might be hard to catch my eye.”

In front of Spiritual Treasures, ordinary Spirit Pills and Treasures or Treasure Swords are insignificant.

Failing to achieve the purpose of rewarding, without gaining gratitude, why waste such good things?

It’s better to keep them to reward others.

”But Father granted you a privilege.” Li Miaotan said.

Chu Zhiyuan’s sword-like brows raised.

Li Miaotan smiled, ”Father permits you to enter the Outer Realm Battlefield.”

Chu Zhiyuan was surprised.

”Father said, now that you already have the power to protect yourself, it’s okay to go to the Outer Realm Battlefield.” Li Miaotan said, ”Previously not letting you go was to prevent any accident that might affect the relations between the two dynasties.”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”This is indeed a happy event.”

Not letting himself go to the Outer Realm Battlefield was indeed to prevent affecting the relations between the two dynasties.

Entering the Outer Realm Battlefield is equivalent to being out of the control of the Phoenix Dynasty, am I still a hostage then?

”But I can’t go for now.” Li Miaotan sighed.

Chu Zhiyuan was taken aback.

”I need to enter seclusion.”

”How long will the seclusion last?”

”Hard to say, maybe one or two months, maybe a year or more.”

”Perhaps it’s just as well.” Chu Zhiyuan said.

Letting her enter seclusion now clearly means there’s a better place for cultivation than the Outer Realm Battlefield.

It’s also to avoid her encountering danger.

After all, if she goes to the Outer Realm Battlefield now, she will face extreme pursuit and murder.
