Chapter 1385: Chapter 1381: Changes

It’s hard to specifically say what the weakness is, a strange feeling that’s elusive and indescribable.

If not for his past experience in creating the Five Elements Perfect Skill, he would be at a loss.

”Supreme Yang and Firm...” Ning Dongge mused.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”It’s best to touch the core, to overturn the current cultivation, even risking going mad is ideal.”

Ning Dongge laughed.

”A bit absurd?” Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, ”If Senior Brother doesn’t believe it, then I have no other option.”

”Alright, I’ll give it a try,” Ning Dongge said, ”But this isn’t something that can be achieved in a short time.”

Having a solid foundation, progressing steadily, even after years of arduous cultivation, even practicing the most intense Miracle Technique won’t shake it in a brief period.

It probably requires decades of toil.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Look for those fast-track methods, the unconventional ones.”

”Not asking me to practice Evil Skill, are you?” Ning Dongge asked.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”Regardless of whether it’s a righteous skill or evil skill, as long as it’s Supreme Yang and Firm, it’s fine.”

”... I’ll look,” Ning Dongge nodded slowly.

Wang Miaoqiao’s judgment dealt him a heavy blow.

On the surface, he seemed indifferent, as if he was open-minded and facing it graciously.

But deep down, he was utterly dejected.

A lifetime’s pursuit, a lifetime’s hope, just sentenced to death, utterly impossible.

He was unwilling, and his desire for becoming Spirit Venerable grew stronger.

Chu Zhiyuan seemed like a lifeline, something he must grasp at all costs.

Especially with the certainty and composure Chu Zhiyuan displayed, along with Wang Miaoqiao’s attitude towards Chu Zhiyuan, made him decide to give it a try.

”You’re back?!”

Zhang Ji Yuan suddenly appeared in the hall, looking at the two of them with surprise.

Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, ”Brother Zhang, we’ve just returned.”

”Grandmaster Wang’s not here?” Zhang Ji Yuan asked.

Ning Dongge swept away the despondency in his heart, chuckling, ”Grandmaster Wang is here, we just finished seeing him.”

”Oh, understood, you’ve been kicked out!” Zhang Ji Yuan realized.

Ning Dongge wanted to say more.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Brother Zhang, let me take a look at you, reach out your hand.”

Zhang Ji Yuan confusedly sat over, extended his hand, ”Look at what on me?”

Chu Zhiyuan grasped his wrist, closed his eyes, shook his head and opened them after a moment.

”What’s wrong with me?” Zhang Ji Yuan asked in puzzlement.

Ning Dongge looked at Chu Zhiyuan, ”Not right either?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”Not as good as you, Senior Brother... Brother Zhang has some issues.”

Ning Dongge asked, ”Is there a solution?”

”Let me think...” Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

Zhang Ji Yuan muttered discontentedly, ”Senior Brother, Junior Brother, what are you two cryptically talking about?”

”I examined Grandmaster Wang’s physique and compared it with ours,” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”To find and fill in any gaps.”

”Grandmaster Wang really let you inspect him?” Zhang Ji Yuan asked doubtfully, looking at Ning Dongge.

Ning Dongge said, ”Perhaps Grandmaster Wang’s temper has changed.”

He didn’t want to discourage Zhang Ji Yuan.

Of course, Grandmaster Wang’s temper couldn’t change; Spirit Venerable’s temper only gets worse.

Zhang Ji Yuan knew this, shook his head, and looked at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Senior Brother, under normal circumstances, you wouldn’t be able to become Spirit Venerable either.”

”Nonsense, why can’t I?” Zhang Ji Yuan retorted indignantly, ”I feel I’m close.”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed.

Zhang Ji Yuan scoffed, ”What did Grandmaster Wang say to you?”

Ning Dongge said, ”Junior Brother has mastered the Taihao Jade Void Scripture, and with continued practice, he’ll naturally become Spirit Venerable.”

Zhang Ji Yuan said, ”So Grandmaster Wang didn’t scold?”

Ning Dongge laughed, ”Grandmaster Wang predicts Junior Brother will become Spirit Venerable soon, faster than any of our predecessors.”

”So Grandmaster Wang has nothing to say?”

”Grandmaster Wang doesn’t scold people for no reason.”

Zhang Ji Yuan pursed his lips, ”So I should be scolded and beaten, right?”

Ning Dongge said, ”Do you think you should be scolded and beaten?”

Zhang Ji Yuan muttered sullenly, glancing at Chu Zhiyuan, ”Good aptitude makes all the difference.”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”Brother Zhang, then I won’t say more.”

”Go ahead, why can’t I be Spirit Venerable?”

”Lacking a unique aura, contrary to Senior Brother Ning, you should practice something extremely gentle, similar to the mental method of Profound Yin Palace.”

”Gentle... I can’t practice it!” Zhang Ji Yuan said, ”It’s incompatible with my nature.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Then you’re also incompatible with Spirit Venerable.”

”... Fine, I’ll find some gentle mental method to practice.” Zhang Ji Yuan surrendered.

Ning Dongge said, ”Junior Brother, how long do we have to practice?”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”As you practice, you’ll eventually know.”

This was based on his Five Elements Perfect Technique experience, especially since their spirits were strong, aptitude was high, and self-perception was keen.

Reaching a certain realm, they themselves would sense the change.

...

Ning Dongge and Zhang Ji Yuan went to the Ten Thousand Knowledge Tower to select cultivation techniques.

Chu Zhiyuan continued to sit in the hall, took out the Ink Jade Token from his sleeve.

The Super Sense observed, the Ink Jade Token enveloped in a soft glow, gentle and resilient.

He operated, channeling True Yuan into it, yet it was like throwing a clay ox into the sea, no change.

Magnificent True Yuan surged in, yet the Ink Jade Token remained unchanged, as if the astounding True Yuan hadn’t been directed at it.

Chu Zhiyuan found it intriguing.

What exactly is this Jade Pendant, why can it accommodate True Yuan like this?

Comparable to his Lao Gong Acupoint.

Continuing like this, could he truly break through its limits?

While operating, the Golden Pupil at his brow lit up with Seven-Colored Light.

Time accelerated.

Everything sped up, moving forward rapidly.

After a brief moment, Chu Zhiyuan’s hollow eyes returned to normal, his face stern.

Future sight showed the Ink Jade Pendant still absorbing True Yuan, yet without unusualness.

No matter the vastness of True Yuan, it had no effect on it.

In the future year, he devoted to channeling True Yuan, yet a year’s time still yielded no result, no effect.

What did this mean?

It indicated this path was mistaken.

Channeling True Yuan was ineffective, futile, he should switch to something else.

He contemplated, then concentrated spiritual power, slowly channeling it into the Ink Jade Pendant.

The Ink Jade Pendant remained unchanged.

Chu Zhiyuan pondered, heart and spirit stirred, the Void suddenly resonated with gurgling streams, assisting his spiritual power recovery.

After a moment, his eyes became hollow again.

After a tea’s time, his eyes returned to normal, marveling at the Ink Jade Pendant.

It was still the same result.

Whether channeling True Yuan or spiritual power, the result was the same: unaffected.

It seemed truly like a stubborn stone, plain and dull, unable to be transformed.

Putting it back in his sleeve, he straightforwardly threw it into the Jade Sea and Sky within the Lao Gong Acupoint.

The next moment, the originally gentle and warm Jade Pendant instantly brightened.

In that moment, Chu Zhiyuan’s spirit light flashed, he hurriedly closed his eyes, casting a red sun onto the Jade Sea and Sky, suspended above the Spiritual Abyss Twelve Peaks.

After entering the Jade Sea and Sky, the Jade Pendant instantly became a dazzling radiance, shooting towards the Void, striking the red sun.

”Boom!”

The Void seemed to tremble.

The dazzling radiance collided with the red sun.

The red sun immediately flared up, then quickly receded, becoming dim.

Chu Zhiyuan’s expression changed dramatically.

This round of red sun had weakened considerably.

It was damaged.

The Ink Jade Pendant leisurely descended, turning into a translucent crystal.

And the red sun grew dimmer, as if about to collapse at any moment.

Chu Zhiyuan’s face looked increasingly grim.

Concentrating briefly, the Heavenly Yuan Technique withdrew, the red sun quickly retreated to his mind’s void.

At this moment, he felt waves of weakness surging up, threatening to engulf him completely.
