Chapter 901: Chapter 897: Power

Fu Zheng, in a daze, found herself standing by a lakeside under the night sky.

The bright moon hung high in the sky.

The lake was clear and transparent, like a silver mirror reflecting the bright moon above.

A moon in the sky, a moon in the lake, illuminating one another.

She transformed into a longsword, repeatedly stabbing toward the moon in the water.

The sword entered the lake, yet the moon remained intact, no matter how she stabbed, creating only ripples.

Yet, as she kept stabbing, she found the longsword she had transformed into was becoming insubstantial.

It seemed to turn into a shadow, continually moving into the lake, colliding with the moon’s reflection within.

When the longsword was physical, it couldn’t touch the shadow, only the water.

But when the longsword was a shadow, it didn’t touch the water but collided with the moon’s shadow.

The sword shadow and moon shadow collided again and again, attempting to destroy the moon’s shadow.

Ultimately realizing, the way the sword shadow destroyed the moon’s shadow wasn’t by killing, but by fusion.

As long as it merged into the moon shadow, the moon shadow naturally ceased to be a shadow.

This was the way of shadow killing.

She slowly awoke.

In her left pupil, the image of a longsword flashed, while in her right, a bright moon reflected.

Her green robe seemed veiled by a layer of mist, becoming ethereal and illusory.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, nodding, ”Not bad, your comprehension is quite good.”

He had conveyed the mental realm and divine charm of the Moon Soul Sword Scripture to her through the Heavenly Illusion Pavilion, but whether she could understand it depended on her perceptiveness.

She understood quickly.

Fu Zheng’s bright eyes gradually returned to normal, and her green robes were no longer illusory.

Her radiant eyes glowed with excitement as she looked at Chu Zhiyuan, ”Your Highness, this Moon Soul Sword Scripture is so mystical.”

It was indeed the technique of shadow killing.

Able to transform into a shadow and merge with others, at night, it was truly formidable.

Almost impossible for anyone to detect.

Even during the day, one could hide in shadowed areas, suddenly appearing and executing a deadly strike.

At this moment, she was the most elite assassin!

Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”How much have you comprehended? Show me.”

Fu Zheng’s bright eyes flickered for a moment.

In her left pupil, a longsword once again appeared, and in her right pupil, a bright moon shone.

Her green robe seemed to emerge with a layer of mist, enveloping her in the blink of an eye.

She became as ethereal as the moon in the water.

Then, with a flash, she vanished like a wisp of a shadow, leaving no trace.

Chu Zhiyuan turned his head towards the shadow of a small pavilion and nodded with a smile, ”Your skill is still shallow.”

Without the Super Sense, she indeed couldn’t be detected.

Once the Super Sense was activated, Insight left nothing hidden.

She was standing in the shadow at the corner of the pavilion, elegantly holding a sword, both real and illusionary.

Like a projection cast upon water.

”Can’t hide from Your Highness?”

With a swift movement, she suddenly appeared in the shadow behind Chu Zhiyuan.

Still merging with the shadows.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”Perceiving alone isn’t enough, dedicated practice is needed, even some hardening.”

”Your Highness, I’ll head outside the city now!” Fu Zheng was extremely enthusiastic.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, ”Won’t you look at the other Heavenly Person Inheritances first?”

Fu Zheng shook her head, ”The Moon Soul Sword Scripture is powerful enough, coupled with the Fallen Abyss Sword Technique, I have enough to practice!”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Then off you go, be careful, the night is the best time.”

Fu Zheng said, ”The forest will suffice for me.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Fu Zheng departed lightly.

Without the Super Sense, one couldn’t see how she left.

Her speed while traveling within shadows was incredibly fast, far surpassing the use of Qinggong.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, looking down at another thin book inside a black iron box.

After flipping through it, he shook his head.

These Heavenly Person Inheritances were wonderful, but compared to the Fallen Abyss Sword Technique and the Moon Soul Sword Scripture, they fell short.

Placed outside, these Heavenly Person Inheritances would be rare and unparalleled.

But when compared to the jewels of the Moon Soul Sword Scripture and Fallen Abyss Sword Technique, they paled in comparison.

Chu Zhiyuan simply comprehended it a bit, with no intention of spreading it.

Even the lesser of the Heavenly Person Inheritances had their subtleties, their spiritual qualities.

By comprehending these various Heavenly Person Inheritances, his realm was rapidly advancing.

Understanding the Heavenly Person Inheritances indeed enhanced one’s perceptions, deepening the understanding of the universe, hence advancing one’s realm upwards.

...

By evening, Chu Zhiyuan was strolling with his hands behind his back down a busy street.

Suddenly, a delicate fragrance drifted near him.

He turned his head to see Fu Zheng already standing by his side, walking alongside him.

In her flowing green robes, with an elegant demeanor, she smiled sweetly at him and said, ”Your Highness, I’ve returned.”

”What did you find?” Chu Zhiyuan glanced at her jade hand.

A faint scent of blood lingered.

Fu Zheng’s eyes shone brightly with excitement, ”Your Highness, I just killed a dozen or so Demon Clan experts...”

When encountering Demon Clan experts previously, with Chu Zhiyuan present, it was fine. Without him, she was as cautious as walking on thin ice.

The Demon Clan experts were like phantoms, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, moving extremely fast.

However, this time when facing a group of Demon Clan experts, instead, she seemed more like a Demon Clan expert.

It was the Demon Clan experts who were restrained and cautious.

This feeling excited her immensely.

After killing this batch of Demon Clan experts, she couldn’t wait to come back to share the news.

Listening to her vivid descriptions, Chu Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction.

The Moon Soul Sword Scripture was indeed exquisite.

This was only during the day; at night, she would become even more terrifying.

Fu Zheng finally said, ”I now have a deeper understanding of the Moon Soul Sword Scripture.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Fu Zheng’s excitement didn’t fade, ”Your Highness, are there any other targets to handle? I’ll take care of them.”

Chu Zhiyuan gave her a sideways glance.

Like being doused with a bucket of cold water, Fu Zheng immediately sobered up from her excitement.

She replied sheepishly, ”Did I get carried away?”

”What do you think!” Chu Zhiyuan snorted, ”Merging with shadows doesn’t mean you’re invincible. Many treasures can counter you.”

”Yes!” Fu Zheng nodded solemnly.

——

Chu Zhiyuan and Fu Zheng appeared at Phoenix Villa.

Zhuang Juyue came out personally to welcome them.

She was accompanied by Lu Qingyuan and Mo Qing.

Seeing Fu Zheng, Lu Qingyuan and Mo Qing smiled, waving their jade-like hands.

Fu Zheng giggled and waved back.

Zhuang Juyue remained as gentle as ever, smiling as she welcomed Chu Zhiyuan into the courtyard.

Chu Zhiyuan sat on a high-backed chair in the hall, placing down his teacup, speaking slowly, ”Dean, aside from Miss Lu, has anyone else comprehended the Fallen Abyss Sword Technique?”

Fu Zheng stood behind him, while Lu Qingyuan and Mo Qing stood solemnly behind Zhuang Juyue.

Zhuang Juyue revealed a wry smile.

She didn’t expect no one within the sect to master the Fallen Abyss Sword Technique.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned, ”They have all tried to comprehend it, right? Even with Miss Lu demonstrating, they still can’t grasp it?”

Zhuang Juyue said, ”It might be conflicting with our sect’s mental method, so it can’t be mastered.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”That’s a barrier, yet... Miss Lu managed to master it, which is truly remarkable.”

Zhuang Juyue nodded softly.

The Swordsmanship of the Phoenix Sword Sect is of the fire element, whereas the Fallen Abyss Sword Technique is of the water element.

The deeper one comprehends the Phoenix Sword Technique, the harder it is to master the Fallen Abyss Sword Technique.

But Lu Qingyuan isn’t like this; her Phoenix Sword Technique was excellent, yet she succeeded in mastering the Fallen Abyss Sword Technique.

It could only be said she had extraordinary insight and remarkable talent.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”Miss Lu, haven’t you grasped that diagram entirely?”

Lu Qingyuan spoke, ”Prince Consort, I’ve studied it for a long time but have no insights.”

Mo Qing said, ”Prince Consort, with your extraordinary perception, you’re sure to uncover its mysteries.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”I dare not say that.”

Mo Qing smiled, pursing her lips as she looked at Fu Zheng.

Fu Zheng smiled proudly, full of confidence, even more than Chu Zhiyuan’s own.

In her view, Chu Zhiyuan’s insight was unparalleled in the world, unmatched, nothing could stump him.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Then let’s give it a try.”

”Prince Consort, come with me.”

Zhuang Juyue personally led him out of the hall, heading to the backyard, passing through the bustling Martial Arts Training Ground, reaching a great hall.
