Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1460: Chapter 1456: Fusion

The scene just played out in his mind slowly, replaying at multiple times the speed.

Every subtle change in the void within his mind was clearly visible.

Lightning began to brighten slowly, suddenly brightening, then gradually dimming.

After the brightness reduced by half, it began to brighten again, tracing different trajectories in the air like swords stabbing into the void.

After being slashed through, the mind’s void trembled slightly, and a strange aura surged.

Wherever the lightning slashed, this strange aura spread, faint enough to be easily overlooked.

If not for using the Super Sense, slowing down the replay, he wouldn’t have discovered these strands of strange aura.

After the strange aura appeared, it slowly dispersed, eventually merging into the void.

The moment it disappeared, the mind’s void gently trembled.

A total of six lightning strikes appeared simultaneously in the mind’s void.

Every flash of each lightning produced a strange aura, permeating the void, causing the void to tremble slightly.

As he chanted the Heavenly Prayer Jade Chapter, the six lightning strikes began to calm.

Their brightness changes gradually diminished, producing less strange aura.

When they slowly dimmed and eventually completely disappeared from the mind’s void, six rich auras suddenly appeared, eventually spreading and merging into the mind’s void.

The mind’s void contracted momentarily.

After this, the sun within Jade Sea and Sky suddenly shone brightly, changing from spring to summer.

He opened his eyes, cold electricity shooting out.

This power evidently came from that round wheel, its attack power enhancing his spiritual power.

This was a level of power higher than his spiritual power.

If not for the Heavenly Prayer Jade Chapter, he couldn’t have blocked it with his own power, even the Heavenly Yuan Technique would have barely sufficed.

He still had one trump card he hadn’t had the chance to use.

He looked at the energy cluster in the mind’s void.

In the vast mind’s void, the six lightnings were like six purple snakes, traversing freely without any hindrance.

Yet, they deliberately avoided that energy cluster.

The energy condensed by Practicing Cloud Dragon Fist was not among their attack targets, obviously being intentionally avoided.

Why avoid it?

He pondered thoughtfully.

He stood up and slowly started to practice Cloud Dragon Fist.

Upon practicing a bit, he felt something unusual.

It was completely different from the original feeling.

Originally, when practicing Cloud Dragon Fist, he could sense the presence of the strange aura, but there was always some barrier.

He could barely control the strange aura, but just barely.

It felt as though he had returned to the time when he first started cultivating, when Inner Qi, although originating from his own body, seemed not to be one with himself.

He could perceive it, but couldn’t unify with it, moving as seamlessly as moving his own body.

He knew this situation was normal.

It was because the spirit and aura hadn’t completely blended, and only when the Realm advanced, with more spiritual power integrating, could it be controlled as naturally as moving an arm.

However, now, the situation drastically changed, a step taken, allowing him to control as naturally as an arm.

He carefully pondered, realizing the surge in Heavenly Yuan Technique wasn’t the main reason, but rather the lightning aura that facilitated the merging of his spirit and the strange aura of Cloud Dragon Fist.

From then on, this strange aura thoroughly became a part of himself, no longer in a state of hearing orders but ignoring commands.

He practiced boxing while feeling the flow of the strange aura, using it to sense his body.

The feeling was completely different.

This sensation differed from the Insight of Super Sense.

The Super Sense could penetrate deeply, perhaps only seeing the reality layer.

Whereas the strange aura sensing his body was another layer.

The five viscera and six bowels of the body seemed to have their own Spiritual, each emitting spirit light.

The spirit light of the five viscera and six bowels differed in color, and the frequency of spirit light flashing also varied.

This flashing frequency had an inexplicable harmony with the operation of Cloud Dragon Fist.

He suddenly understood, that this was the root of the strange aura, originating from the Spiritual of the five viscera and six bowels converging into aura.

They indeed belonged to him, but because previously unseen, unfelt, they appeared yet did not belong to him.

Only relying on strong spiritual power, relying on them still being a part of him, could he barely mobilize them.

He slowly stopped his movements, wearing a smile of immense joy.

At this moment, Zhang Ji Yuan and Ning Dongge stepped through the Light Gate in the wall.

Seeing his rosy complexion and full of smiles, both of them also smiled.

Zhang Ji Yuan said, ”Junior brother, are you okay now?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”I’m fine now.”

”What exactly happened, it was so frightening.” Zhang Ji Yuan said.

Ning Dongge also looked at him curiously.

Chu Zhiyuan sighed with emotion, wryly smiling, ”Suffered a hidden loss, can’t blame anyone else.”

Zhang Ji Yuan was curious, ”Hidden loss?... Never mind, it’s not worth mentioning.”

Seeing Ning Dongge’s expression, he changed his tone, smiling and saying, ”Junior brother, can we not leave yet?”

Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes suddenly turned hollow.

After a moment, he returned to normal, shaking his head, ”Senior brothers, it’s still not possible.”

”Still not possible?” Zhang Ji Yuan frowned, ”These guys from Li Huo Palace just won’t let us go?”

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at them.

His gaze flickered, scanning them up and down, pondering.

Both felt different from before, not as uncomfortable, yet still strange.

A sense of indescribable strangeness, his gaze seemed not to penetrate them, but to overlook them as if viewing from a high altitude.

”What’s wrong, junior brother?” Zhang Ji Yuan was puzzled.

Chu Zhiyuan stepped forward, pressing on their backs.

The strange aura of Cloud Dragon Fist injected from his palms into their bodies.

He closed his eyes, carefully sensing their bodies through the strange aura.

He wanted to understand how the Cloud Dragon Fist aura would perceive their bodies.

Whether it would reveal their five viscera and six bowels’ spirit light, whether the spirit light would be visible.

After a moment, he withdrew his palms, shaking his head, ”You have a strange aura in you.”

”What kind of strange aura?” Zhang Ji Yuan asked.

Ning Dongge said, ”Will this strange aura harm us?”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”I think, this strange aura should be caused by some secret technique, or Spiritual Artifact.”

”What’s going on?” Ning Dongge said, ”Junior brother, speak directly.”

Suddenly, Chu Zhiyuan struck both their backs, making their vision turn white, trapped in a state of stasis and stagnation.

Their thoughts seemed to halt, completely ceasing.

Chu Zhiyuan immediately withdrew his palms from their backs, drawing a bamboo branch from his sleeve and slashing through the air.

”Ooww...”

”Ooww...”

It was as if a fierce beast let out two roars.

The two trembled, immediately awakening, turning to look at the halted position of the bamboo branch.

There were two faint shadows, each the size of a palm, splitting in two, then gradually fading, vanishing into the air.

Chu Zhiyuan let out a breath, ”It’s them!”

”What are they?” Zhang Ji Yuan asked curiously.

Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes suddenly became hollow, looking at the two again.

After a moment, returning to normal, he smiled, ”It’s okay now.”

”What do you mean, junior brother?” Zhang Ji Yuan said.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Now there’s no problem leaving, Li Huo Palace can’t find you anymore.”

Ning Dongge’s face turned somber, slowly saying, ”Junior brother, are you saying we’ve been tricked by Li Huo Palace, and they could perceive us?”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”The power of this secret technique is limited, its sensing range is restricted.”

He speculated that after a day, they should be undetectable, and through two skies, they might not be sensed.

According to Donghuan Saint Technique, if they went out today, they would be immediately followed by Li Huo Palace.

If not today, Li Huo Palace might not detect them.

If they promptly used the Ascension Technique to traverse more realms, they could even shake off Li Huo Palace’s tracking.
