Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 943: Chapter 939: Reaction

The group of golden birds circled around him for several laps, and then suddenly converged.

Dozens of birds merged into one, transforming into a mass of golden light, resembling a small sun.

The golden light flickered a few times and turned into seven-colored light.

A seven-colored phoenix materialized amidst the seven-colored radiance.

The one-meter-long seven-colored phoenix appeared, and within a radius of ten meters, the light twisted.

The tremendous power seemed to distort the surrounding space, destroying everything.

Chu Zhiyuan revealed a smile.

This is the true Divine Clan Martial Art, the genuine Hundred Birds Phoenix Sword Technique.

If the Phoenix Sword Sect had a genius who could merge the Hundred Birds Phoenix Sword Technique I taught with their own Phoenix Sword Technique, they might comprehend this move.

The seven-colored phoenix landed gracefully on an artificial mountain.

The artificial mountain instantly vanished without a sound, turning into powder.

Chu Zhiyuan’s smile grew wider.

The power of the Hundred Birds Phoenix Sword Technique is indeed astonishing.

Right now, I am only in the Transformation Realm, not yet a Venerable, otherwise the power would be even more amazing.

The seven-colored phoenix vanished along with the artificial mountain, and then he waved his hand again.

Without a sword in hand, he performed swordsmanship.

He no longer needed a real longsword to execute this sword move.

Hundreds of bird phantoms appeared around him, flying around him.

After circling a few laps, they suddenly converged into one, transforming into a mass of golden light.

The golden light, like a small sun, flickered a few times and turned into seven-colored brilliance.

Within the seven-colored brilliance was a two-meter-long phoenix.

The phoenix flew elegantly and serenely in the sky.

And around this seven-colored phoenix, the light no longer twisted, as if it had no power.

Chu Zhiyuan knew, however, that the power of this phoenix was several times greater than before.

Its grace and elegance were intoxicating, which was precisely its deadly aspect.

It could make one die without noticing.

He beckoned.

The seven-colored phoenix suddenly spread its wings, flapping forcefully a few times, and the seven-colored light burst forth.

The seven-colored light enveloped Chu Zhiyuan.

As the seven-colored light dimmed, a pair of phoenix wings had appeared on Chu Zhiyuan’s back.

The seven-colored light flickered, and he actually grew wings, moving like lightning.

Several afterimages of him instantly appeared in the courtyard.

This is the second application of the seven-colored phoenix, which can accelerate oneself.

Chu Zhiyuan’s face was full of smiles.

Originally, he was already as fast as lightning, and now with these wings, even more remarkable.

These wings provide immense power, like an exoskeleton from a past life.

Not only do they enable even faster speed, but they also amplify his strength.

He slowly gathered his smile and shook his head.

Unfortunately, this is mere swordsmanship, not the ultimate method, the fundamental mental method.

It only enhances the application of powers, not fundamentally improving his strength.

So, he still needs to explore and continue searching for Divine Clan Martial Arts.

——

”Hahaha...”

The sound of laughter echoed in the courtyard of the Thirteenth Prince Consort Mansion in Phoenix City.

Li Cunren laughed heartily, slapping the table.

Chu Zhiyuan sat opposite him, holding a jade cup, smiling and shaking his head.

”This time, let’s see if those old folks at Fengtian Palace regret it!”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, ”Brother, they might not regret it.”

”Seeing you helping to comprehend the Divine Clan Martial Art of the Phoenix Sword Technique, do you think they can sit still?”

Chu Zhiyuan slowly said, ”I think they’d rather not have comprehended the Divine Clan Martial Art than let it leak to me.”

Li Cunren restrained his laughter and shook his head, ”It’s truly hard to say!”

He thought that Chu Zhiyuan’s words might be right.

In the eyes of those old stubborn folks, they’d rather not comprehend than let it spread.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”After all, it is Fengtian Palace’s treasure. Whether they want to show it to outsiders is up to them, no need to harbor resentment.”

”I’m not angry that they disagreed, but that they went back on their word, playing games with people!” Li Cunren snorted, ”If they didn’t agree from the start, it wouldn’t have mattered, but agreeing and then changing their minds—such is the Palace Master of Fengtian Palace!”

”Perhaps out of respect for your face, brother, they begrudgingly agreed and later regretted, changing their minds,” Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”It’s all because of your big face, making them wary.”

Li Cunren snorted, ”If they were truly wary, they wouldn’t have gone back on their word!”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”After all, Fengtian Palace is Fengtian Palace. Brother, you will still have to rely on them in the future, so it’s best not to make things too awkward.”

”Sigh...” Li Cunren sighed helplessly, ”Even if I’m dissatisfied, there’s nothing I can do, it’s really stifling.”

His spirit was immediately lifted, ”Isn’t Little Sister out of seclusion yet?”

Li Miaotan growing stronger would make the Imperial Family proud sooner.

By then, Fengtian Palace wouldn’t have its current arrogant demeanor.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”I’ll go and take a look later.”

”Little Sister’s side is most important,” Li Cunren said, ”Make sure nothing goes wrong.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

”Brother-in-law, is the Hundred Birds Phoenix Sword Technique you comprehended very powerful?”

”It should be able to enhance the Phoenix Sword Sect’s strength,” Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”This sword technique is most adept in group battles.”

As he spoke, he drew his sword from its sheath.

Immediately, a flock of bird phantoms appeared in the air, circling and flying above his head.

Li Cunren immediately tensed, his expression solemn, feeling a sense of threat.

A bird phantom gracefully flew out, shooting toward Li Cunren, its speed suddenly accelerating.

In an instant, it was in front of him.

Li Cunren met it with his palm.

”Bang!”

He slid a meter away while seated on the stone stool.

”How impressive!”

Li Cunren was astonished.

He did not expect a single bird shadow to hold such power.

Several bird shadows left the flock, shooting toward him.

”Bang bang!”

Facing them directly, Li Cunren was flipped twenty meters away, landing below the main hall’s steps.

The remaining bird shadows drilled back into Chu Zhiyuan’s body, disappearing without a trace.

An old eunuch with white hair and beard stood outside the small pavilion, immediately floating in to move the stone stool back into the pavilion.

Li Cunren returned to the pavilion, sat down, and exhaled heavily, ”It’s even more formidable than I imagined.”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”I might not have grasped the true essence of this Divine Clan Martial Art; for now, this is all I comprehend.”

”How did you comprehend it?” Li Cunren asked curiously, ”Is it the Divine Language?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”It’s hard to explain how I comprehended it. By staring at it for a while, I suddenly had an epiphany, and naturally mastered it.”

”Your perception is...” Li Cunren marveled, ”Enviable!”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”I’m currently just a Venerable. If I can become a Spirit Venerable or even a Perfect Spirit Venerable, what I comprehend might not just be this sword technique.”

Li Cunren said, ”This sword technique is already astonishing. With it, the Phoenix Sword Sect is destined to soar.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, nodding.

The Four Great Sects compete on the basis of high-level combat power, like the number of Venerables.

Practicing this sword technique, one Venerable can match several others.

Li Cunren laughed, ”You’re the great benefactor of the Phoenix Sword Sect.”

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, ”Helping each other mutually; how can it be called being a benefactor.”

Li Cunren laughed, ”I reckon the other three sects won’t be able to sit still either.”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”If they would let me see the Divine Treasure, it would be great, but some may strictly adhere to their rules.”

”Among the Four Great Sects, the one most sticking to rules should be Yukunlun Palace,” Li Cunren shook his head, ”Yukunlun Palace always resents Fengtian Palace, subtly claiming to be the top sect, so they probably won’t invite you to study.”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”The sect of the Empress must view itself highly.”

He now had a clearer view of the internal powers within the Phoenix Dynasty.

The fact that the Young Master of Yukunlun Palace became the Empress wasn’t solely due to emotion; there were political considerations.

This was the Phoenix Emperor’s strategy to use Yukunlun Palace to counterbalance Fengtian Palace, to prevent one side from growing too powerful.

With Fengtian Palace’s unique mental methods and mystical spiritual treasures, they could foresee the future.

The Emperor both revered and was wary of Fengtian Palace.

Li Cunren laughed, ”Let’s see if Li Huo Fist Sect and Qingwu Sword Sect will seek you out.”

As the two spoke, Fu Zheng’s report came from outside: ”Your Highness, Miss Fan from Little Ming Marquis Mansion requests to see you.”

Li Cunren chuckled, ”See that? Qingwu Sword Sect can’t sit still!”
