Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1593: Chapter 1589: Seeking Once More

Thus, the best way to enhance the realm is found: Inner Universe.

Filling the Inner Universe, strengthening the Inner Universe, allowing the Inner Universe to change, leads to deeper understanding of Heaven and Earth.

Other Spirit Venerables need to observe the changes in Heaven and Earth, the alternation of seasons, silent spring breezes, autumn winds sweeping away leaves.

They need to experience through wind and rain, in icy and snowy lands.

Observe heavy rain, observe heavy snow, observe spring grass, observe autumn fruits.

Through prolonged observation, forming a unique understanding of Heaven and Earth, thus enhancing the realm.

As for himself, it is not necessary.

Thus, the fundamental way to enhance the realm still lies in the Divine Domain, still lies in Moving Dragon Mountain.

Other Grotto Heavens have too little stimulation for the Inner Universe, even moving a mountain inside, the evolution of the Inner Universe is minimal.

Dragon Mountain, however, is different.

Unfortunately, such peculiarities of the Heavenly Escape Sect are too few, I’m afraid there won’t be any more available.

Then go with the cumbersome method first, move Dragon Mountain into the Inner Universe.

Perhaps after moving these several Dragon Mountains into the Inner Universe, I can advance another transition.

Thinking of this, he was full of energy, wishing to run to Dragon Mountain immediately.

But tedious affairs pile up, unable to make the trip.

With a wave of his sleeve.

The wooden box appeared again.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at this wooden box with a smile.

The wooden box is still the same wooden box, but the Small Cave Heaven inside has now been moved into his Inner Universe.

This wooden box is the portal to his Inner Universe.

Through sealing and chanting, one can enter the Heavenly Escape Sect’s Small Cave Heaven inside the box, and this Small Cave Heaven is now part of his Inner Universe.

Seamless integration.

If he does not have the intention, no one can perceive the changes of the Heavenly Escape Sect’s Small Cave Heaven.

The Elephant Beast appeared on his left shoulder, looked at him in wonder, said in his mind, "Something’s different inside."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.

The Elephant Beast said again, "You advanced another level?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.

"The Small Cave Heaven is very useful to you?" The Elephant Beast asked again.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Extremely useful. Have you seen this kind of Small Cave Heaven?"

"I’ve seen it," the Elephant Beast tilted its head, thinking: "Trying to recall where..."

Chu Zhiyuan felt invigorated.

After a moment of thought, the Elephant Beast suddenly jumped and said, "I remember now!"

Chu Zhiyuan looked at it keenly.

The Elephant Beast said, "On a mountain, but I don’t know what it has become now or if it is still there."

Chu Zhiyuan asked urgently, "Which mountain?"

"No idea about the name, I remember the location, but after so many years, it’s uncertain whether it’s still there."

"Let’s check it out, you remember the way, right?"

"...Are we really going? After all these years, there might be fierce beasts along the way, and whether the Small Cave Heaven is still there, we might go there for nothing and it could be dangerous."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "What’s the harm in trying, I’m not the same as before now."

"Alright." The Elephant Beast said, "When shall we go?"

Chu Zhiyuan said with enthusiasm, "I’ll go after finishing my business here."

...

Chu Zhiyuan appeared in front of the Elephant Beast’s Cave Mansion.

The Elephant Beast squatted on his left shoulder, straightened up, its left paw on its brow like a monkey gazing into the distance, looking around.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at it, "How is it?"

After a busy time, he could finally take a break.

The Jade Pendant had long been carved, but the key is that injecting power takes time, and after half the power is injected, it requires recovery.

Fortunately, with the clone’s help, his recovery was quick.

Then he reviewed the future of the various women of the Profound Yin Palace.

Ultimately discovered that four Profound Yin Palace disciples would meet their demise upon entering the Grotto Heaven.

The remaining eighteen disciples of the Profound Yin Palace would escape unharmed after entering the Divine Domain.

Two of them would encounter fortuitous events, further advancing their cultivation.

One could become a Spirit Venerable.

This is a remarkable opportunity.

Profound Yin Palace disciples not only have extraordinary talent but also exceptional luck.

This made Chu Zhiyuan sigh with emotion.

He quietly reported the results to Lu Qingfeng and entrusted the arrangements to her.

He no longer participated.

He also delivered thirty Jade Pendants to the Court.

Currently, the power inside the Jade Pendants is already at Seventh Transition, surpassing previous levels in both power and deterrence.

This vast Divine Domain, unknown how many Spirits of the Seventh Transition are there.

Presumably, not many.

Spirits above Fifth Transition are like old monsters, having lost concept of time, remaining dormant in certain places.

With these Jade Pendants, it’s enough for protection.

As the realm advanced another transition, his understanding of Heaven and Earth deepened, his fusion with Heaven and Earth closer.

The connection with the Heavenly Sword also became closer, more profoundly feeling the presence of Heavenly Will.

These Jade Pendants actually correspond to the Emperor’s Sword of Little Outer Heaven back then.

Although in the form of Jade Pendants, not in the form of Emperor’s Sword, the effect is similar.

Firstly, it can collect Faith Power and Merit, secondly, it can enhance power.

He can not only inject power into the Jade Pendants remotely through Heavenly Will but also collect Faith Power and Merit around the Jade Pendants.

More importantly, he can personally visit.

"I remember, let’s go, that direction!" The Elephant Beast pointed toward the northwest with its left paw, "Keep heading that way, about one thousand miles and you’ll arrive."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Then let’s go."

An additional level of confidence came with reaching Seventh Transition, drifting along.

Over a thousand miles, not far for him now.

He rushed over two hundred miles in one breath and suddenly stopped.

On the distant mountain peak, over a dozen men were in combat.

The Elephant Beast squatted on his left shoulder, eyes turning golden, said in his mind, "They are very weak."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "There are some experts."

The dozen experts fighting had no Spirit Venerables, but all were Venerable Perfection.

Each martial skill was powerful.

"None stronger than you." The Elephant Beast said, "They haven’t discovered something underground, ready to swallow them."

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.

Super Sense already detected anomalies below the mountain, two snakes slithering, ready to rush up and devour them.

He discovered that within the Divine Domain, snake-shaped fierce beasts were most abundant.

These two snakes weren’t large, arm-thick, ten meters long.

But their power could crush the dozen experts effortlessly.

"Should we save them?" The Elephant Beast asked.

Chu Zhiyuan slowly shook his head.

The Elephant Beast said, "Shall we bypass them?"

"Let’s annihilate those two snakes." Chu Zhiyuan said, "Can’t bear to see them eating people."

With that, he drew the Heavenly Sword from his waist and tossed it into the air.

The Heavenly Sword silently merged into the void.

A moment later, the ground trembled twice.

The two snakes were already executed.

Before the Heavenly Sword, the two snakes offered no resistance, slain with a single strike.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion.

Earth and stone splattered, and two snakes were hurled up by invisible forces, breaking through earth and stones into the air.

The dozen experts engaged in battle retreated, tense, vigilantly watching the two snakes "thud" to the ground.

The two snakes gleamed a dark shine under the sun, like black iron.

The Heavenly Sword hovered in mid-air, shining a gentle luster before swiftly shooting towards the floating Chu Zhiyuan.

It stopped ahead of Chu Zhiyuan, untouched by blood.

Chu Zhiyuan reached out, returned the sword to its sheath, glanced at the wide-eyed experts below, and shook his head.

The dozen experts’ eyes widened, staring intently.

Suspended in mid-air, without any supporting force, this is clearly the sign of a Spirit Venerable.

The Elephant Beast stood on Chu Zhiyuan’s left shoulder, said in his mind, "Have they discovered something? A fortuitous encounter?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "It’s just the snake cave below, thinking it’s a fortuitous encounter."

He already discerned their coveted location was a cavern that led a hundred meters underground, the snakes’ cave.

But they hadn’t entered the cavern before discovering each other and starting the fight.

During this time, he uncovered the relationships among the group.

Three factions, each bearing grudges, thinking they’ve found a fortuitous encounter, began fighting.

No corpses on the ground, and the factions hadn’t determined life or death yet.

The Elephant Beast said, "There’s poison in the cave, once they enter, it’s death."

"Below, the cave is poisoned, a snake cave, entering is death."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said indifferently, his voice clear as if whispering in their ears.

He drifted away, over the mountain, over their heads, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Eliminating those two snakes, Heavenly Will showed no increase, no merit.

But the dozen experts sent the Power of Gratitude, absorbed by the Heavenly Sword, better than nothing.

At the same time, from other Jade Pendants, some power was transmitted, enhancing the Heavenly Sword.
