Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1641: Chapter 1637: Seeking Entry

However, he then thought that there was no need to be so fixated on the Taixu Tower.

If it weren’t for the Taixu True Scripture, he would have let go of the Taixu Tower long ago.

Clearly, it is the divine artifact of the Divine Race, far beyond ordinary divine artifacts. He himself can’t even match the Divine Race, and attempting to seize this divine artifact is nothing more than wishful thinking.

His current idea is to see the Taixu Tower.

Even if he can’t obtain it, at least he can look at it, touch it, and thereby understand the connection with the Taixu True Scripture.

Is it truly related to the Taixu True Scripture?

The Taixu True Scripture is mysteriously profound, and as soon as he starts practicing it, he senses its astonishing power.

But he also realizes that his understanding of the Taixu True Scripture is too superficial.

Any top-tier mental method is not just about moving the breath according to the cultivation route.

It must conform to the mental state and mental realm, and even conform to divine thought.

The most important is a mysterious and profound realm.

Once it aligns, cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, a thousand miles in a day.

If it cannot align, then no matter how earnestly the breath is moved, even until the end of the earth, there will still be no progress.

The Taixu True Scripture, known as the True Scripture, contains over a hundred scenes within the Divine Language, which he experiences time and time again.

Each experience brings different insights, leading to subtle adjustments in the cultivation route of the Taixu True Scripture.

These adjustments happen naturally, as if everything falls into place.

With each adjustment, the operation of the Divine Essence becomes slightly faster, and the Divine Essence becomes slightly purer.

Therefore, constant insight and continual correction of the cultivation route are necessary.

It seems to have no end.

He wants to see the Taixu Tower, hoping to find a point of anchorage to figure out the ultimate goal of the Taixu True Scripture.

”First transform into the True Dragon.” Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, ”Once the True Dragon is out, everything else will be easier.”

At least there won’t be Strange Beasts or forces interfering with his operation of Dragon Mountain.

The Elephant Beast’s eyes lit up, its tail wagging vigorously: ”Yes, yes, first bring out the True Dragon!”

Seeing its excited demeanor, Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, ”At that point, we’ll be completely stable.”

The Elephant Beast is now constantly following him; its ability to act freely means it can do so as well.

Staying in the Divine Domain means there’s no need for constant caution, walking on thin ice.

The Elephant Beast’s tail wagged more and more energetically.

...

He flickered into appearance in front of the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader’s Hall.

”Zhiyuan, come in and talk.” Lu Wanshan’s voice rang out.

Chu Zhiyuan stepped into the hall, seeing that all the Elders were present, their faces solemn. He clasped his fists with a smile and saluted.

Chu Zhiyuan sat on a high-backed chair and asked, ”Sect Leader, what has happened?”

Lu Wanshan said, ”Both the Guiyang Sword Sect and Fuyun Sect have decided to enter the Divine Domain.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded gently.

Xu Qianfan said, ”Zhiyuan, if they go in now...”

Chu Zhiyuan replied, ”Having delayed until now is the limit; if we press them further, they will become enemies.”

Zhou Chongming sighed, ”Forcing suppression is indeed not a long-term solution.”

Meng Xusheng snorted, ”If they intend to enter, we have no choice but to follow suit. Zhiyuan, will we lose disciples?”

Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes suddenly turned vacant.

A moment passed before his eyes returned to normal, and he nodded, ”There will indeed be losses.”

Meng Xusheng hurriedly asked, ”How many losses?”

Chu Zhiyuan replied, ”We will enter with eight, lose three: Grandmaster Qi, Grandmaster Huang, Sun Ancestor.”

Those entering were Perfect Realms of venerable age, from the Grandmaster generation.

These Perfect Venerables from the Grandmaster generation had already withdrawn from sect matters, focusing solely on cultivation.

They entered with eight and exited with five.

Xu Qianfan asked, ”Were there breakthroughs to Spirit Venerable?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

”Not a single one?” Xu Qianfan asked.

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded, ”Not a single one, luck was unfortunate.”

”What about the other Three Sects?” Meng Xusheng asked, ”Were there any who achieved Spirit Venerable?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”This time, not a single one advanced to Spirit Venerable.”

”Not even one?”

Not only Zhou Chongming and the other Elders, even Lu Wanshan widened his eyes.

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.

According to what he observed, the Venerables from the Four Great Sects entered the Divine Domain, suffered losses, and failed to advance to Spirit Venerable.

Their luck was indeed poor.

Could it be due to his own impact?

If they had entered at the beginning, they might have lost more masters, but possibly gained one or two Spirit Venerables.

Having delayed for so long, although safety increased, the number of losses decreased.

Yet, no Spirit Venerable was achieved.

Could this be the cost?

”Not even one!” Zhou Chongming shook his head.

Meng Xusheng frowned, ”Why wasn’t there even one?”

Chu Zhiyuan replied, ”Luck wasn’t sufficient; in the Divine Domain, it is hard to gain anything.”

Xu Qianfan said, ”We went in late, and the fortuitous encounters were taken by others? Impossible, isn’t the Divine Domain vast!”

Chu Zhiyuan said slowly, ”The Divine Domain is vast and ancient, far surpassing our worldly realms, and exhausting all fortuitous encounters is nearly impossible. But others are bound to gain some, it is inevitable.”

”Going in later, encountering fewer opportunities is as expected.” Lu Wanshan waved his hand, ”Between opportunity and life, of course, we choose life.”

Chu Zhiyuan had explained this to them earlier, more opportunities meant more risk, almost leading to complete extermination, but possibly yielding Spirit Venerable.

If entry was delayed or not attempted, lives could be preserved, but opportunities would be lost.

”Alas... Was it all in vain?” Xu Qianfan sighed, ”We even had to endure losses among the masters, was it necessary to go in?”

Meng Xusheng snorted, ”It wasn’t necessary to go in, but could we stop them?”

Zhou Chongming shook his head, ”Moreover, despite these discussions, they may not believe us.”

They believed in Chu Zhiyuan’s judgment, trusted Chu Zhiyuan’s secret technique.

But others who had witnessed might not believe.

Lu Wanshan sighed, ”Even if they believe, they may still want to risk it.”

As far as he knew, these uncles and elders didn’t want to slowly await death; they wanted to risk it all.

Previously, there was no chance; even if they wanted to attempt, there was no place to attempt, no chance to break through.

Now, having an opportunity, even if it meant risking lives, they wanted to try.

After all, if they couldn’t break through, they wouldn’t have many years left, so why not make a vigorous attempt?

Chu Zhiyuan took out several Jade Swords from his sleeve and handed them over: ”Give these to the respected elders, let’s see if these can save their lives.”

His current cultivation is more advanced than before, and the power the Jade Pendant can condense is stronger.

However, faced with more Spirit Venerables or encountering enigmatic Strange Beasts, if the power within the Jade Pendant is exhausted, lives still cannot be guaranteed.

This time, he provided the elders with Jade Swords instead of the Jade Pendant.

These are Jade Heaven Swords.

They contain powerful strength within them, stronger than the Jade Pendant.

They also integrate his Heavenly Sword with these Jade Heaven Swords, repeatedly drawing upon the power of the Heavenly Sword.

The Jade Heaven Sword, in other masters’ hands, is less useful than the Jade Pendant, as it can’t be driven.

But in the hands of disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, it far surpasses the strength of the Jade Pendant.

The key is that it harmonizes with the power of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples, directly transforming into their strength.

Moreover, it is inexhaustible, endless, unlike the Jade Pendant’s single instance of infusion.

Even when encountering Spirit Venerables or powerful Strange Beasts, as long as they cannot strike down the owner of the Jade Heaven Sword immediately, the power can be perpetually mobilized.

The Eight Transitions Spirit Venerable self can break the power of the Jade Heaven Sword, but such Spirit Venerables and Strange Beasts are not common.

Truly encountering such, life would indeed be at an end.

Lu Wanshan accepted these Jade Swords, commenting with emotion, ”If it still can’t save lives, there’s really no help.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and sighed, ”Human strength is sometimes exhausted; my cultivation is still not strong enough.”

Meng Xusheng grumbled, ”Zhiyuan, you’re already so strong, yet still not strong enough!”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”If I were at Nine Transitions, relying on the Jade Heaven Sword alone, no one would dare to harm our Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.”

”Then we shall wait for that day.” Meng Xusheng said with a smile.

Xu Qianfan also smiled: ”Considering Zhiyuan’s progress, it should be soon.”

Zhou Chongming smiled and shook his head: ”That may not necessarily be a good thing.”
