Chapter 1681: Chapter 1677: Perfection

Shen Hanyue said, "The Princely Heir, after all this talk, is it about fighting for that? Whether it’s a Divine Artifact or not, is it about seizing it?"

Chu Zhiyuan pondered and shook his head, "It still depends on the situation. It may not necessarily have to be seized."

If the Twelve Stone Towers cannot locate the Taixu Tower, then having this also won’t help.

If the Twelve Stone Towers can locate the Taixu Tower, there’s no need to seize this.

Shen Hanyue made a gesture of headache and said helplessly, "It’s too complicated!"

She listened vaguely and wasn’t clear whether to seize it or not.

Lu Qingfeng said, "Whether to seize it or not depends on the timing?"

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded, "Timing changes, it changes, so we can’t remain unchanged."

Lu Qingfeng said, "If Mr. Chu needs help, just speak out. Our entire Palace supports you in seizing this Divine Artifact."

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Isn’t our Profound Yin Palace going to compete for this Divine Artifact?"

Lu Qingfeng shook her head, "We have self-awareness, and not virtuous enough for this Divine Artifact. If Mr. Chu wants to compete, we will fully assist."

Chu Zhiyuan solemnly clasped his fists, "Thank you, Palace Master! ... If I need help, I will definitely speak up."

"That would be great," Lu Qingfeng said, "I just worry that Mr. Chu is too courteous."

Zhu Yuxia smiled charmingly, "Exactly, exactly. Mr., you shouldn’t be so courteous, we’re not outsiders, you know."

She looked at Xiao Ruoling with a smile.

Shen Hanyue giggled, "The Princely Heir is obviously not an outsider."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.

...

A bright moon hung high.

The moonlight fell on the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree, making it emit a faint glow.

Chu Zhiyuan, dressed in an azure robe, stood under the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree with his hands behind his back, slightly squinting his eyes.

The leaves of the Divine Tree rustled with a special rhythm, which enchanted Chu Zhiyuan.

"Big brother, what are you doing?"

A crisp voice broke this harmonious melody.

Chu Zhiyuan turned his head to look over.

Chu Yi and Li Suyue stood in the courtyard like twin lotus flowers, standing prettily.

Chu Yi tilted her head and asked curiously, "Big brother, what’s up with this tree?"

Li Suyue also curiously examined the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree.

As soon as Chu Yi spoke, the Divine Tree stopped shaking its leaves. Could it be a coincidence?

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "I’m communicating with the Divine Tree. Are you done with your practice?"

"Mm, we’re done. Big brother, when can we ascend?"

"Not the time yet."

"I want to see it up there. According to sister Qingyu, the Spiritual Energy up there is denser and more pure, which makes cultivation faster."

Chu Zhiyuan had brought Zhou Qingyu back to the Prince Qing Mansion and met Chu Yi and Li Suyue.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "You’re not practiced enough yet, not suitable to go up."

"Not enough?" Chu Yi snorted, "We feel we’ve hit a plateau."

"Once you’re up there, the Spiritual Energy won’t help you much," Chu Zhiyuan said, "The Martial Arts System is different."

Chu Yi asked, "Can we practice the martial arts there directly?"

"It’s best to reach the peak here first, then switch to practicing the martial arts there. Otherwise, with weak foundation, progression won’t be rapid."

"So..."

"Sooner or later you’ll go up, don’t be in a rush," Chu Zhiyuan said, "You can go see it first, but forget about cultivation for now."

"Then forget it." Chu Yi pouted, "I’d rather stay in my courtyard to cultivate."

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.

It’s hard to change a person’s nature; even now she is a Great Grandmaster, she still doesn’t like going out, preferring to stay in her courtyard fiddling with flowers and plants.

She wants to cultivate in Biyuan Heaven but doesn’t want to wander around there; she’s only curious about the dense and pure Spiritual Energy there, not so much the scenery.

Chu Yi looked up at the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree emitting a hazy moonlight, "It’s getting more powerful."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.

The spirit of the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree was growing stronger, evolving at a rapid pace.

At this moment, Chu Zhiyuan had built a communication bridge between the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree and the Twelve Stone Towers, allowing them to interact.

Chu Zhiyuan watched from the side, finding it fascinating.

Though the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree was still immature, it inherited more and more memories of the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree.

The memories of the Twelve Stone Towers were different.

Their concepts were different.

Seeing the twelve spiritual beings, the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree was delighted, approached them to converse, and in their playfulness, began to spar.

Their moves were intricate, but their systems weren’t aligned, and their doctrines differed, sparring while debating.

This deepened and enriched Chu Zhiyuan’s understanding of the universe.

He approached Perfection in his realm.

The Inner Universe also became more substantial and solid.

He smiled. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

The spirit of the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree indeed accelerated the refining speed of the Twelve Stone Towers.

The Eternal Spirit Divine Tree’s closeness to him, and their long acquaintance without damaging the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree, reduced the Twelve Stone Towers’ wariness of Chu Zhiyuan by more than half.

With the wariness lifted, the relationship between Chu Zhiyuan and them progressed rapidly, and the degree of refining increased significantly.

As the refining deepened, the Twelve Stone Towers became more beneficial to the Taixu True Scripture.

As the Taixu True Scripture advanced swiftly, his Martial Arts Realm also advanced continuously, approaching Perfection more rapidly, with the distance closing in.

He felt he had found a shortcut.

After that, he not only communicated with the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree and Twelve Stone Towers but also with other plants, such as Dragon Tree, and other Strange Beasts, such as Elephant Beast.

And other Spiritual Artifacts, such as those on himself and his clones.

These Spiritual Artifacts and Strange Beasts, exotic birds, and plants had all experienced long years, each with unique perspectives and insights into the universe.

After witnessing these, the spirit of the Twelve Stone Towers rapidly grew.

During this growth, Chu Zhiyuan always stayed by their side, actively participating in their growth, forming a closer relationship and deeper entanglement.

Thus, the refining degree deepened further.

As the refining degree deepens, the fusion with him becomes deeper, benefiting the Taixu True Scripture even more.

During this process, his Taixu True Scripture kept advancing tirelessly, and his overall Martial Arts Realm kept rapidly rising, swiftly reaching Perfection.

The speed of his cultivation progress was beyond his imagination; the power of the Twelve Stone Towers was also beyond his imagination.

In just five days, the realm had undergone a radical change, reaching the Perfect Realm, progressing no further.

His strength increased more than doubled.

Only now did he realize the enormous gap between a Spirit Venerable at Perfect Realm and one at Nine Transitions.

Having felt the ultimate limit, with no further possibility of progress, even though the Taixu True Scripture remains advancing, the Cultivation Realm was stuck.

He didn’t continue to doggedly pursue higher, believing it couldn’t be achieved in the short term.

Instead, he turned his attention to the giant tower.

At this time, there were already over two hundred High Rank Spirit Venerables around the giant tower.

Beyond the three hundred meters occupied by the High Rank Spirit Venerables, there were over a hundred Mid and Low Rank Spirit Venerables.

They considered themselves not powerful enough and didn’t force their way forward.

Unwilling to leave so easily, they stood at a distance watching the commotion, eager to see who would seize the Divine Artifact.

None of these High Rank Spirit Venerables had engaged in battle, all standing in confrontation with the giant tower.

Wanting to approach the giant tower to move it, yet none could get close.

As soon as they got near, they were pushed away and flew into the air, spitting blood.

Having been injured, they would heal momentarily and attempt to approach again, persevering relentlessly.

They would not give up until they were utterly exhausted, and even when they were, they merely retreated a dozen meters to recover before trying again.

With so many Spirit Venerables closing in and more joining them, a sense of urgency arose among them, thinking success could come at any moment, urging them not to slack off or allow others to get ahead.

Chu Zhiyuan noticed two Spirit Venerables from Biyuan Heaven, two from the Heaven-Reaching Sect, and one from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The mountain peak he originally stood on had been occupied by Spirit Venerables.

So he changed to a more distant mountain peak to observe.
