Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 935: Chapter 931: Harvest

After witnessing the prowess of the Demon Clan experts, I finally understand the vast disparity. No wonder the sect rules that only Venerables can become Spirit Guards to enter the Outer Realm Battlefield.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”Not going to stroll around the city? It’s not that easy to make a move in the city.”

”Let’s take a stroll first, Senior Sister. It’s not so easy to encounter a Venerable.”

Xiao Ruoling replied, ”Sometimes, the more you don’t want to encounter them, the more likely you are to run into them.”

”It’s not too late to flee when the time comes,” Shen Hanyue said.

Xiao Ruoling shook her head, ”Just afraid we might not escape.”

Even though the Princely Heir possesses such Miracle Techniques with incredible power, they still cannot resist Venerable-level experts.

With skills like the Princely Heir’s, he can come and go as he pleases; there’s no need to take such a risk.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”Then let’s go back.”

Shen Hanyue sighed helplessly, ”Alright, alright, next time! ... Once we become Venerables, we’ll come back for a good look!”

”Then we must quickly achieve Venerable status,” Xiao Ruoling said.

”Oh, Senior Sister, it’s easier said than done. It’s not so easy to become a Venerable,” Shen Hanyue lamented, ”especially since we are from the Little Outer Heaven.”

”Don’t belittle yourself! Don’t forget we’ve mastered the Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique,” Xiao Ruoling replied.

Shen Hanyue suddenly felt uplifted and chuckled, ”That’s right, a minor Venerable is nothing!”

The Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique is the top Miracle Technique of the Profound Yin Palace, improving aptitude and enhancing cultivation with significant effects.

Once mastered, the Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique will undoubtedly lead to the Divinity Transformation Realm, becoming a Venerable!

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Let’s go, then we’ll head back.”

He waved his hands to summon a Light Gate.

Then, with one hand around Xiao Ruoling’s slender waist and the other on Shen Hanyue’s shoulder, he stepped through the Light Gate.

The next moment, they were back in the courtyard halfway up the mountain under the Profound Yin Palace.

Shen Hanyue, still wanting more, cheerfully suggested, ”Princely Heir, can we go play in the Imperial City?”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile.

”Master! Sister!” Xiao Ruoling glared.

”Alright, alright, let’s practice first,” Shen Hanyue conceded, ”Once Perfection Transformation Intent is achieved, we’ll have fun!”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile.

After they left the courtyard, he closed his eyes to start searching memories.

Besides his own memories, there were also those of his clones, Chu Liezhao, and two Flying Knives.

One of them was the memory of the Flying Knife alongside Xiao Ruoling.

This Flying Knife, as one of the clones, had Super Sense ability, avoiding detection by Profound Yin Palace experts by limiting its sensory range to one mile.

He carefully recalled the scene of Xiao Ruoling entering Xuanyin Cave Heaven.

It was as if he returned to Xuanyin Cave Heaven.

The next moment, with eyes closed, he gently waved his hand, and a black dot appeared and turned into a Light Gate.

He stepped into the Light Gate.

Another moment, he appeared on a mountaintop.

He opened his eyes to survey the surroundings.

Inside the Grotto Heaven, there might be top-tier experts stationed, and even Spiritual Treasure guards.

Despite this, he activated Super Sense to avoid running into others.

Yet, he limited it to a mere two-mile radius, enough to avoid others.

The mountains receded layer upon layer.

The bamboo forest stretched vast and green.

The air was cool and fresh, invigorating.

Inside the Super Sensing Illumination, analyzing the air inhaled into the lungs.

The Spiritual Energy was about five times that outside.

Such abundant Spiritual Energy nurtures more potent Strange Flowers and Herbs, stronger Demon Beasts, enabling the refinement of more powerful Spiritual Pills and Elixirs.

More abundant Spiritual Energy allows a closer, clearer connection with heaven and earth, leading to deeper insights into the subtleties of nature.

Thus, places like these are often excellent spots for cultivation.

Xuanyin Cave Heaven should have an enhancement effect on the Profound Yin Palace’s mental method.

Like Great Bright Peak’s effect on Infinite Brightness Scripture.

After surveying, he floated forward toward the Spirit Treasure Cave.

He knew it was about ten miles to the Spirit Treasure Cave.

A distance of ten miles, merely a few breaths.

He paused in the bamboo forest on a mountain waist, sensing the Spirit Treasure Cave two miles away.

The Spirit Treasure Cave was located at the summit of a majestic peak, its entrance emitting a soft glow, from a distance appearing like a giant eye gazing over the land.

As soon as Super Sense reached the cave exterior, it was blocked by an invisible force, unable to probe the internal reality.

He couldn’t see what was hidden inside nor how many experts were stationed there.

He contemplated, letting a small knife fly out of his sleeve, deftly burrowing into a thick green bamboo.

The bamboo was tall and straight, robust and thick, with solid nodes.

After the Flying Knife penetrated, it stayed within the bamboo cavity, leaving only a fine trace on the bamboo surface.

Chu Zhiyuan examined this with satisfaction before moving away gracefully.

He toured Xuanyin Cave Heaven extensively, seeing Strange Flowers and Herbs, picking two flowers.

Near the Strange Flowers and Herbs were formidable Demon Beasts guarding.

Relying on the Spiritual Abyss Body Cleansing Record’s Shrinking Ground into Inches, his stealthy attacks were exceptionally quick, snatching them away.

One flower had golden petals with black edges, the other had seven rainbow-colored petals.

...

”This is the Flying Rainbow Flower, and this is the Golden Mysterious Flower.”

Xiao Ruoling observed the two flowers, gently nodding, ”I’ve seen them in the medicinal book.”

Shen Hanyue’s eyes sparkled as she stared at the rainbow flower, ”This is the Flying Rainbow Flower; I’ve seen it at Senior Sister Meng’s place; it greatly enhances the Primordial Spirit.”

She looked up at Chu Zhiyuan, ”Princely Heir, your luck is really good!”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”I’m usually pretty lucky, so you all should take them.”

”Give them to Senior Sister,” Shen Hanyue waved her jade hand.

Xiao Ruoling gave her a sideways glance.

Shen Hanyue looked at the golden flower, ”This Golden Mysterious Flower is beautiful, but it’s for strengthening blood energies, not much use for us, right?”

Chu Zhiyuan replied, ”Strengthening blood energies is greatly beneficial for cultivation.”

True Yuan comes from Spiritual Energy, but there’s also blood energy within, and furthermore, the more abundant the blood energy, the more vigorous the spiritual power, and the faster the True Yuan circulates.

Furthermore, robust blood energies naturally extend one’s lifespan.

”Golden Mysterious Flower...” Shen Hanyue sighed in envy, ”We just don’t have such luck!”

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, ”Then you all should take them now, rather than let dreams long linger.”

Shen Hanyue said, ”Princely Heir, you should take them or share them with Senior Sister.”

Chu Zhiyuan replied, ”They don’t have much use for me.”

The Sky Dragon in the sky absorbed Void Power, converting it into pure energy sent into his body, nourishing and strengthening his body and spirit.

These two Strange Flowers are indeed good, but their effects don’t compare to the continuous enhancement from the Sky Dragon.

Moreover, my current physique is so formidable, far beyond theirs.

They stand to benefit more by taking them, while my gains would be quite limited, saving merely two or three days of time.

So naturally, it’s for them to use.

”Then give them to Senior Sister,” Shen Hanyue said.

”Stop jibber-jabbering,” Xiao Ruoling retorted, ”we’ll each take half.”

She saw that Chu Zhiyuan truly intended for herself and Xiao Ruoling.

In this world, the three of them were the closest and most trustworthy.

Whenever they grow stronger, they can assist Chu Zhiyuan more.

Shen Hanyue hesitated, ”But...”

She felt she shouldn’t take advantage.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Let’s listen to Ruoling, anyway, these Strange Flowers can be encountered again, just visit a few more times.”

”Haha, alright then,” Shen Hanyue chuckled upon realizing it’s true, ”We’ll quickly become Venerables and go out to play!”

The thought of achieving Venerable ignited her motivation; taking these flowers would shorten cultivation time.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”I plan to go out and explore, see if I can come across any opportunities.”

He intended to go to the Demon Suppression Palace to focus on cultivating the Spiritual Abyss Body Cleansing Record.

After the Fifth Transitions, one’s spirit becomes even more formidable, enabling extended cultivation durations.

The Demon Suppressing Divine Tree can convert the souls of the Demon Clan and Demon Beasts into the purest spiritual power, keeping me in a sustained cultivation state.

First, I’ll exhaust the souls within the Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror, to see how my progress fares.

The Flying Knife Avatar has been observing the Hidden Spirit Cave in Xuanyin Cave Heaven, looking for a chance to gain insight into Divine Clan Martial Arts.

To practice the Spiritual Abyss Body Cleansing Record to greater strength, even achieving First Form Perfection, making travels across the world more secure.
