Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1472: Chapter 1468: Third Transition

As soon as he recovered, he got up from the cushion and began practicing Cloud Dragon Fist in the center of the grand hall.

Slowly, leisurely, carefree and unhurried.

Zhang Ji Yuan and Ning Dongge were no longer in the grand hall.

Knowing the Tracking Spiritual Artifact from Li Huo Palace had already been seized by Profound Yin Palace, they were no longer fearful.

So they left the Heaven-Reaching Hall early and wandered the world, venting their frustrations from the past few days.

Chu Zhiyuan practiced Cloud Dragon Fist alone in the grand hall, savoring the marvelous taste of Abnormal Energy continuously accumulating and further integrating with himself.

He has already named this strange True Qi as Divine Essence.

Spirit Venerable’s cultivation is not the same as that of the Divine Race.

Since Spirit Venerable practices Spiritual Essence, then the Divine Race cultivates Divine Essence.

The taste of deeper fusion with Divine Essence is exceedingly marvelous, as if he has become ethereal and truly merged with the heavens and earth.

This feeling of merging into one far surpasses the feeling during initial cultivation.

Deeper, more free, more light and agile.

As if he has escaped the constraints of the flesh, with mind and heavens breathing together.

He feels thoroughly free, having attained true Great Freedom.

In such a state, cultivation becomes an extreme enjoyment, making him lost in it.

He wishes to remain like this forever.

Intoxicated, unaware of the flow of time and the passage of years.

At some moment, he suddenly awakens.

In the depths of his mind, that bright Miao Jing Spirit Water was gently shimmering.

Its movement suddenly brought him back to full consciousness.

He awoke as if from a long and beautiful dream, feeling refreshed and energized.

At this same time, he felt something unusual.

Closing his eyes to inspect, he realized he had reached the Third Transition.

Unexpectedly, Spirit Venerable’s progress can be this fast, saying such would be shocking and extraordinary.

”Haha...”

He couldn’t hold back and laughed loudly.

The laughter made the grand hall tremble continuously.

Taking a long breath, he shook his head, looked at the empty grand hall, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

In the next moment, he appeared in his small courtyard at Profound Yin Palace.

The small courtyard was utterly tranquil.

In the adjacent courtyard, Zhou Qingyu, Xiao Ruoling, and Shen Hanyue were practicing martial arts on the small Martial Arts Training Ground beside the flower beds.

Zhou Qingyu was practicing Heavenly Five Mysterious Techniques, while Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue were practicing Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique from Profound Yin Palace.

The three of them were dressed in white combat uniforms, resembling three pure white lotuses, spotless and immaculate.

Chu Zhiyuan did not hurry to approach, pacing in the courtyard with hands behind his back, contemplating his previous experience.

Meanwhile, part of his heart and spirit also entered over by Huang Zhengyang.

By Huang Zhengyang’s side, there were already four middle-aged men, looking at the valley solemnly.

Huang Zhengyang’s gaze fell on the vermilion snake-shaped stone, looking solemn.

”Brother Huang, is this stone also strange?” Luo Yun chuckled.

Huang Zhengyang shook his head.

”That’s good, I was truly afraid you’d find this stone strange too, like you’d researched both sides of the stone wall for a few days.”

Huang Zhengyang laughed: ”This time I won’t.”

Luo Yun laughed heartily: ”Should we head out now?”

”Alright, let’s set off.” Huang Zhengyang said deeply: ”There might be strange snakes in this valley. If there’s any Detoxification Spiritual Medicine, consume it now.”

”Strange snakes?” Luo Yun laughed: ”Just because of this stone? ... It looks like a snake, but judging that there are strange snakes in this valley because of it is too arbitrary, isn’t it?”

”I have a strong premonition, many snakes should be inside, and they’re very poisonous, hard to defend against.”

Huang Zhengyang said deeply.

”Brother Huang, is your premonition accurate?” Luo Yun laughed: ”You wasted three days on this stone wall.”

Huang Zhengyang said solemnly: ”My premonitions are always very accurate, never been wrong.”

”...If so, then we really must be on guard.” Luo Yun paused, slowly nodded: ”Alright, then take the Detoxification Elixir now!”

He looked at the other two middle-aged men, laughing: ”Brother Zheng, Brother Meng, what do you think?”

The two middle-aged men’s faces were sullen, as if everyone owed them money.

At this time, they just nodded, took out a Jade Bottle from their bosoms, opened it, and consumed a dark green Elixir Pill.

Huang Zhengyang, seeing them act like this, nodded in satisfaction.

Despite these two masters appearing cold and hard to get along with.

In his view, these two were easier to communicate with than Luo Yun, more trouble-free and labor-saving.

He spoke gravely: ”If there are many strange snakes in the valley, how will we handle them?”

”Brother Huang, what do you think?” Luo Yun asked.

Huang Zhengyang said: ”Then I will take the lead, say a few more words.”

”Brother Huang, you are the Director of the Evil Extermination Department, better at handling these matters than us, just instruct us.” Luo Yun laughed.

Huang Zhengyang no longer modest, said sternly: ”If there are very many strange snakes, we must defend from all directions, including above and below, I’ll take the south position, Brother Luo you take north, Brother Zheng you take west, Brother Meng takes east, how does that sound?”

”Good!”

The four agreed in unison.

They each consumed their own Detoxification Elixir, then took their positions.

With this setup, at the forefront was Huang Zhengyang, Luo Yun was responsible for the rear, leaving the others on the sides.

They backed into each other, slowly moving forward.

After walking a dozen meters forward, Huang Zhengyang waved his hand, said solemnly: ”Not good.”

The other three stopped, looked at him.

Huang Zhengyang said: ”We lack coordination, the movement is not fast enough, faster is needed.”

Luo Yun said gravely: ”Brother Huang, how can we be faster?”

Seeing Huang Zhengyang so serious, he felt the matter was not simple.

Hence, more serious.

This might indeed be as Huang Zhengyang said, a matter of life and death.

Huang Zhengyang said: ”No good method for this, only slow grinding.”

”This...” Luo Yun frowned: ”We’ve already delayed three days.”

Huang Zhengyang said grumpily: ”Brother Luo, weren’t you just following my instructions?”

”...Alright, alright, then we listen to Brother Huang, what should we do?”

Huang Zhengyang said: ”Practice here first, speed up.”

Luo Yun looked at the other two middle-aged men.

Their sullen faces, no other expressions, yet no opposition.

”...Alright, Brother Huang, you’re in no hurry, such a Mental State, I really must learn well.”

Luo Yun shook his head helplessly.

Huang Zhengyang said: ”I believe in fate, what’s meant for you is yours, others can’t take it, what isn’t meant for you, even if taken, it’s trouble.”

”Fine, fine, hope you’re right.”

Luo Yun sighed.

Afterwards, they began practicing Step Techniques before the valley, aligning their steps and accelerating.

While increasing speed, they must not pull apart, maintaining the state of four backs aligned.

This truly tests coordination.

However, all four were top-notch experts, all exceptionally gifted, with high comprehension.

Chu Zhiyuan had already shifted his focus, returned to himself.

The ecstatic joy was gradually dissipating, he regained tranquility, floated to the opposite side.

”Princely Heir.” Shen Hanyue saw him coming, cheerfully greeted, halted movement.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”Any results?”

”An Elder recognized that person.” Shen Hanyue said: ”He’s from Li Huo Palace.”

Chu Zhiyuan paused.

This was quite unexpected.

Never thought.

Xiao Ruoling sighed: ”We didn’t expect either, surprisingly from Li Huo Palace.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: ”Is it possible for Evil God’s followers to infiltrate Profound Yin Palace?”

He immediately shook his head: ”Impossible, Li Huo Palace too impossible.”

The mental method of Profound Yin Palace is supremely yin and cold, Li Huo Palace is Supreme Yang and Firm.

Such pure mental methods almost cannot be influenced by the Evil God to become followers, thereby becoming its subordinates.
