Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1591: Chapter 1587: Tun Tian

He also saw how the middle-aged deity opened this wooden box.

He saw how the middle-aged deity performed the sealing and chanting, thereby causing his form to fade and disappear into the wooden box.

He closed his eyes and meticulously observed the handprints and chanting in his mind.

Through the mouth shape, he reconstructed this spell.

The divine language itself invokes the power of heaven and earth, and once condensed into a spell, its power becomes even stronger.

The Elephant Beast blinked its eye and stared at him.

Zhou Qingyu, on the other hand, stared at it, which caused it to cast a sidelong glance at her.

Zhou Qingyu giggled and waved her hand.

The Elephant Beast tilted its head arrogantly and ignored her.

Zhou Qingyu leaned in, extending her hand but not touching the Elephant Beast, just getting close.

The Elephant Beast, however, pursed its lips and extended its right paw to tap her hand.

Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes.

Zhou Qingyu and the Elephant Beast quickly looked at him.

Chu Zhiyuan formed a strange handprint with his hands, and softly uttered a string of peculiar sounds.

Zhou Qingyu only felt that this sound caused her blood to freeze, her heartbeat to stop, and a blankness to cover her vision.

Her thoughts also fell into a standstill.

Moments later, she opened her eyes wide as her thoughts restarted.

Yet, Chu Zhiyuan had already disappeared.

"Where’s Master?" she hurriedly asked.

But the Elephant Beast stood solemnly on the stone table, staring at the wooden box.

"Did Master leave?" Zhou Qingyu asked.

The Elephant Beast raised its head and glared at her.

Zhou Qingyu realized its message; it found her annoying and didn’t want her to speak.

Zhou Qingyu closed her mouth, staring at the wooden box, puzzled by its significance.

The Elephant Beast’s solemn look, like it’s facing a formidable foe, only added to her confusion.

The Elephant Beast kept a tense posture, unwaveringly watching the wooden box.

This left Zhou Qingyu even more puzzled: what’s wrong with this wooden box?

She leaned in closer, only to have a flash of white light before her eyes and was suddenly pushed back.

She staggered back two steps, glaring at the Elephant Beast with dissatisfaction.

The Elephant Beast snorted, pointed at the wooden box, and then gestured to where Chu Zhiyuan had been standing.

Zhou Qingyu blinked her bright eyes, puzzled, and said, "What does it mean?"

The Elephant Beast glared at her irritably and continued to stare at the wooden box.

Zhou Qingyu’s mind raced, guessing why the Elephant Beast was acting this way.

Could it be related to Master?

Did Master instruct the Elephant Beast to watch the wooden box? What was Master doing then?

So, when Chu Zhiyuan slowly emerged from the wooden box, growing from small to large, from ethereal to substantial, her eyes widened in disbelief.

The Elephant Beast leaped onto his left shoulder, asking in his mind, "How is it, how is it?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled in its mind: "Indeed, it’s a Small Cave Heaven."

"Are there good things inside?"

"This is a deity sect called the Heavenly Escape Sect."

"Heavenly Escape Sect... never heard of it."

"It has always been hidden from the world, unknown to people." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "It has a legacy."

"A legacy? Impossible, right? How could a deity’s legacy be recorded on paper?"

The Elephant Beast widened its eyes, its voice in his mind incredulous.

The fundamental legacy of the Divine Race has always been passed heart to heart; those recorded in the divine language are merely martial skills, not the fundamental heart methods.

"This is different; it’s probably the fundamental residence of the Heavenly Escape Sect, which is why they felt safe recording the heart method inside the hall."

"Let me in to take a look!" the Elephant Beast quickly said.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

He performed the sealing again, muttering to himself.

The next moment, Zhou Qingyu felt a blankness, everything stilled.

Then she found herself in front of a grand hall.

The hall was a hundred feet tall, like a giant beast crouching, ready to swallow her whole.

She seemed like an ant before it, so insignificant.

The hall was made of a blue material, resembling the color of the sky, clear and pure.

The sky was also azure, and these magnificent halls, one after another, stretched endlessly, seemingly merging with the sky.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "This is the Heavenly Escape Sect, isn’t it magnificent?"

The architecture of the Heavenly Escape Sect was unlike any he had seen before.

Other architectural styles were often influenced by the Divine Race, always carrying traces of it.

Despite the various evolutions over the years, they never completely deviated from the shadows of the Divine Race.

But the style of the Heavenly Escape Sect was entirely different.

Thus, he understood that even among the Divine Race, there were different styles.

"It’s so magnificent, Master, where is this place?"

"It’s the grotto heaven stored within the wooden box."

"We’re inside the wooden box?"

"Yes."

"That’s so strange!" Zhou Qingyu exclaimed in astonishment, "To achieve something like this? Master, how big is it here?"

"The boundaries cannot be seen." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "This is a grotto heaven, even the smallest cannot be seen through with just a glance."

"It’s so incredible!" Zhou Qingyu marveled, as she looked up to observe these grand halls.

She reached out to touch the stone wall, finding it smooth and warm like white jade.

"It’s so incredible!" Zhou Qingyu exclaimed as she continued to caress and admire it.

The Elephant Beast crouched on Chu Zhiyuan’s left shoulder, its eyes turning into golden lines, glancing around.

A moment later, its eyes returned to normal, and it spoke in Chu Zhiyuan’s mind: "There are no arrays here."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

"So where is the legacy?" the Elephant Beast asked.

"Inside the grand hall," Chu Zhiyuan said, "it’s engraved on the stone walls of the hall."

"Then let’s go and see?" the Elephant Beast eagerly suggested.

Chu Zhiyuan stepped forward, pressing his palms against the large door.

Suddenly, the large door began to glow softly, clusters of flowers blossoming within the doors.

Once the flowers had spread throughout the doors, they slowly opened.

Chu Zhiyuan stepped through the entrance.

Zhou Qingyu followed, immediately overcome by a fragrant aroma.

It was as if she had fallen into a sea of flowers, surrounded by all sorts of exotic blossoms.

She quickly shook her head to dispel the illusion, discovering the hall was remarkably empty.

Nearly nothing was there.

Around the walls and above on the dome, various patterns were carved, appearing like countless blooms in full blossom.

They were alive with flowers.

The Elephant Beast’s eyes squinted into gold lines, its head swaying.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, "Do you recognize the divine language?"

"I don’t recognize the divine language, but I see a step technique."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "A step technique legacy, the Heavenly Escape Divine Step."

Unlike his Earth Origin Technique, the Heavenly Escape Divine Step is a set of steps essential in combat, not only incredibly fast but unpredictably changeable with astonishing power.

This method of inheritance doesn’t use divine language; instead, it’s passed through these patterns, which, without understanding them, can be directly transmitted into the mind.

"Marvelous," the Elephant Beast praised.

Zhou Qingyu also complimented, "Truly marvelous!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "This is just one of the Heavenly Escape Sect’s legacies. Let’s go see the next hall."

He then led Zhou Qingyu and the Elephant Beast to two other grand halls.

One hall held the legacy of the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique, while the other held the Heavenly Escape Heart Technique.

The Heavenly Escape Heart Technique is the Fundamental Heart Method of the Heavenly Escape Sect.

After observing, they exited the wooden box and returned to the small courtyard.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Qingyu, go find your master’s wife and invite Master Lu over."

"Yes."

Zhou Qingyu responded, excitedly running out.

...

Lu Qingfeng and the charming maiden Zhu Yuxia arrived together.

They both wore expressions of anticipation.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Master Lu, Elder Zhu, I have already broken through the restrictions, and we can enter within."

"Hmm—?" The two women were startled, and then their bright eyes shone with excitement.

Shen Hanyue and Xiao Ruoling were also present.

Shen Hanyue curiously asked, "Princely Heir, what does it mean to break through the restrictions?"

After listening to what Chu Zhiyuan explained, they were greatly astonished and were then led by Chu Zhiyuan into the Heavenly Escape Sect.

They also saw the legacies within the three grand halls.

The women left the Heavenly Escape Sect and returned to the small pavilion, each full of shock.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Master Lu, the key now is that unlocking the method requires the Divine Essence."
