Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 923: Chapter 919: Taking Action

He stood in the small courtyard of the Thirteenth Prince Consort Mansion, his face full of smiles, even chuckling out loud.

Suddenly, a person emerged from the shadows.

It was none other than Fu Zheng, with snow-white skin and clad in a green robe.

She looked curiously at Chu Zhiyuan: ”Your Highness, you have returned?”

Chu Zhiyuan snorted: ”What about you?”

This time returning, both Fu Zheng and Li Yuzhen came back with him.

He traveled back to this Thirteenth Prince Consort Mansion in the Phoenix Imperial City directly through the Light Gate from Yujing.

Fu Zheng embarrassedly giggled: ”I came back to take a look.”

”Look at what?” Chu Zhiyuan snorted.

Fu Zheng giggled: ”Look at Cheng Yunzheng and the others.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”You sure are fast.”

”Your Highness, the Moon Soul Sword Scripture is much faster at night than during the day.” Fu Zheng’s eyes sparkled, proud and confident: ”I can come and go between Yujing and the Phoenix several times in one night!”

Once the Moon Soul Sword Scripture has moonlight, its power instantly multiplies several times, extremely awe-inspiring.

Even when she casts it herself, it feels incredible.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

He too had mastered the Moon Soul Sword Scripture and naturally understood this.

In fact, when he cast it, its power was stronger, and its speed faster than hers.

But for him, this was a minor path, not his true path.

His true path was the Infinite Brightness Scripture, which required him to comprehend the meaning of brightness, thereby enhancing his cultivation realm.

The Moon Soul Sword Scripture, a Heavenly Person Strange Skill, only increases killing power, and he wasn’t lacking in this kind of skill.

Thus, he didn’t delve deeply into it.

Using the Moon Soul Sword Scripture indeed allows traveling between the Yujing Imperial City and Phoenix Imperial City in one night.

It seems similar to the Light Gate he used.

But if the distance is far, there’s a difference, and the greater the distance, the greater the difference.

Fu Zheng pursed her red lips, her teeth like fine comb teeth, snorting, ”Your Highness, Cheng Yunzheng’s group still isn’t leaving.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

It seems they are determined to stay here.

Obviously, they are using the substitute to attract attention, thus hiding Cheng Yunzheng himself.

His real self was still cultivating in the Purple Sky Jade Pavilion.

Fu Zheng snorted, ”Looks like what the Third Prince said doesn’t work.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”Even if the Emperor speaks, if they insist on staying, there’s no real way to make them leave.”

”Just drive them away.” Fu Zheng said disdainfully, ”This is the Phoenix Imperial City!”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”We have to maintain decorum, can’t be too blunt.”

Fu Zheng’s bright eyes turned, giggling: ”How about I cause a little chaos?”

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her.

Fu Zheng said: ”I could play tricks on them, how about that?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: ”That would just fulfill their purpose.”

What needs to be done now is to deal with them quietly, without causing too much noise.

Fu Zheng’s bright eyes shimmered, she said softly: ”How about making that fellow lose control?”

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.

Fu Zheng said: ”I’ll scare him suddenly while he’s cultivating.”

”...that works too.” Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

Fu Zheng couldn’t contain her excitement, her eyes shining with eagerness: ”I’ll do it today!”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Don’t kill him.”

Fu Zheng waved nonchalantly: ”He’s a prince, has spirit pills, won’t die.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Even if it’s a substitute, it’s to be taken as the real body, naturally with spiritual pills and elixirs around him.

——

The next morning, Chu Zhiyuan stood in the inner courtyard of Prince Nine’s Mansion, his expression solemn.

This time, he intends to directly open the Light Gate, to see if he can enter Great Bright Peak.

If he can enter Great Bright Peak, it means in the future he won’t need to rely on the Great Brightness Order to enter.

He could enter Great Bright Peak to cultivate right from the Phoenix Imperial City.

Even on the Outer Realm Battlefield, he could return to Great Bright Peak to cultivate anytime.

Moreover, in moments of danger, he could directly open the Light Gate to leave.

This is the most advanced escape technique.

He wasn’t completely sure now, and he vaguely sensed danger.

If something goes wrong, he might never return, and could even risk his life.

Fortunately, this body is just a clone, taking this risk for the real body to ascend, he can only gamble.

Now that the path to ascension is cut off, his true self wouldn’t take this risk, determined to ascend, not knowing where he would ascend to.

If this technique is mastered, the true body can come directly through the Light Gate.

At that time, either replacing the clone directly or taking on a different identity.

”Your Highness.” Fu Zheng approached excitedly, giggling: ”It’s done!”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”He went berserk?”

”Left with only a breath!” Fu Zheng laughed: ”He went berserk initially, now it’s happened again, probably can’t cultivate anymore.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”What about the Third Princess Consort?”

”The Third Princess Consort has already gone to see.” Fu Zheng said: ”She comforted Cheng Yunzheng.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”What about the Third Prince?”

”The Third Prince followed along, hey, where the Third Princess Consort is, you’ll always see the Third Prince.” Fu Zheng taunted.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”He didn’t say anything?”

”What could he say?” Fu Zheng pursed her red lips: ”My act was flawless, even Cheng Yunzheng himself doesn’t know.”

”That’s good.” Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Even if Fu Zheng only frightens them secretly, leaving no trace.

Still, for Fengtian Palace, some spiritual treasures can turn nothing into something, they might check it out.

If the Third Prince Li Chunhou wants to investigate this and get to the bottom, he would certainly ask Fengtian Palace to intervene.

Fu Zheng said: ”Your Highness, will they leave this time?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: ”They might use healing as an excuse to stay, ...but no matter, just ignore them.”

Now that Cheng Yunzheng’s substitute is rendered useless, no further action is needed.

People might assume it was the work of a master from the Phoenix Dynasty.

Even if Fengtian Palace really investigates, and traces it to Fu Zheng, it doesn’t matter.

If they trace it to Fu Zheng, it would mean it was his own doing, they’re unlikely to expose it.

Besides, even if they do expose it, it won’t matter, he’s justified.

With that thought, he moved his hands, forming a black spot that transformed into the Light Gate.

Fu Zheng curiously: ”Your Highness, are you heading to the Demon Realm?”

”Mm.”

”Let me go too.” Fu Zheng hurriedly said: ”I want to kill some Demon Clan masters.”

”Next time.” Chu Zhiyuan stepped in.

Next moment, he appeared on Qingfeng Cliff at Great Bright Peak.

”Haha...” Chu Zhiyuan laughed aloud.

The laughter spread far and wide.

Chu Honglin came over after hearing, laughing: ”What good news is there?”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and shook his head: ”Uncle, I want to visit several Grotto Heavens.”

”Grotto Heavens...” Chu Honglin nodded: ”Sure, just find Sixth Brother.”

Chu Zhiyuan then sought Chu Hongfeng and entered several Cave Mansions.

Through studying these Cave Mansions, he gained more insights into spatial dimensions.

But he didn’t stop for that, after returning to the Prince Consort Mansion, he decided to go to the Outer Realm Battlefield.

The space at the Outer Realm Battlefield is quite fascinating, located where the Three Realms meet, particularly unique.

If he can grasp the wonders of that space, he would be more confident in having direct access to Little Outer Heaven.

At that point, Little Outer Heaven and Outer Heaven would be directly connected, eliminating the need for ascension.

That way, he could go back and forth anytime, without being cut off from family ties.

He could both cultivate and enjoy family life.
