Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 99: Chapter 97 Eleven

```html

Chu Zhiyuan originally thought that Cheng Tianfeng could hold on.

But Cheng Tianfeng ultimately couldn’t hold on.

It escalated, worsened, added insult to injury; despite Cheng Tianfeng’s efforts these past few days to release, he ultimately couldn’t find peace and couldn’t release his anger.

Struck again by Chu Zhiyuan, provoked once more, he could no longer contain his anger and frustration, and all negative emotions burst out at once, leading to inner demons.

Chu Zhiyuan knew that from this point on, Cheng Tianfeng would have a heart demon.

Without removing the heart demon, achieving the level of a Grandmaster is not easy.

Achieving the level of a Great Grandmaster is almost impossible.

If Wentian Cliff has no other means, unable to remove his heart demon, he might be ruined, and Da Zhen will have wasted a day’s talent.

A genius most likely to become the Emperor.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

He must speed up his cultivation and quickly advance to Grandmaster.

With Cheng Tianfeng ruined, how could the Da Zhen Imperial Family let it go, how could Wentian Cliff let it go?

Even if they can’t deal with him openly, they will certainly try to undermine and find ways to hinder his path to becoming a Great Grandmaster.

If asked whether he regrets it, he would say without hesitation that he does not.

Even without this incident, the Da Zhen Imperial Family and Wentian Cliff would secretly make trouble, obstructing his path to becoming a Great Grandmaster.

Even with this incident, they wouldn’t confront him openly, only secretly plot against him.

The result would be the same, so why hesitate and not take care of Cheng Tianfeng?

Cheng Tianfeng was so unbridled, not only trying to harm his woman, but also demanding his patience, then what would he become? How could he step into being a Great Grandmaster?

At this moment, he felt clear-minded and incredibly joyous, unexpectedly the Great Purple Sun Technique surged, suddenly bursting forth.

A flash of insight guided the misty purple energy of the Great Purple Sun Technique to rush toward the Jade Tower, without using the Binding Dragon Rope, without employing the Washing Sword Technique, only using the original misty purple energy of the Great Purple Sun Technique to charge forth.

”Boom!”

A thunder shocked in his ears.

He swayed slightly, with misty purple energy on his face like being poisoned, and then it was restored to a crystal-clear jade-like state, his eyes dazzling and compelling.

The misty purple energy within his meridians abruptly thickened by three parts, became purer by three parts.

The Eleventh Layer!

”Congratulations, Princely Heir.”

”Congratulations, Princely Heir!”

”Epiphany breakthrough!”

”There truly is such a thing as an epiphany breakthrough...”

”The legend is actually true.”

...

Guo Chi and the others all congratulated, overjoyed.

They had heard of epiphany breakthroughs but had never seen one firsthand until now, finally witnessing it firsthand,

As they walked, suddenly broke through a barrier, leaped from the Innate Tenth Layer to the Eleventh Layer.

It was truly casual in crossing a barrier.

This is really enviable.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, ”Let’s go, Drunken Immortal Pavilion!”

Guo Chi immediately cheered, ”Drunken Immortal Pavilion!”

They left the street of the Four Directions Pavilion directly to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

Drunken Immortal Pavilion is one of the top taverns in Yujing, most famous for their Drunken Immortal Wine, which is peerless.

However, the Drunken Immortal Wine is expensive, and common folks are satisfied just to smell its fragrance without hoping to drink it.

Even someone like Guo Chi, a Grandmaster serving as a guard in the Prince Mansion, with a very high salary, has to consider before drinking Drunken Immortal Wine.

The sun had already set, and as the decorative lamps first turned on in the evening.

Drunken Immortal Pavilion, without waiting for complete darkness, was already brightly lit.

Various sounds of commotion, various sounds of strings and bamboo flutes, several gentle and melodious songs, these sounds were mixed together, ethereal as if coming from the clouds.

This is because the building is so tall, and its peculiar construction can dissolve sound, weakening the noise, making it not appear noisy.

Entering the building, it feels bustling, yet not overwhelmingly noisy.

Chu Zhiyuan directly ascended to the third floor, requested an elegant room, and let Guo Chi, Gao Jiong, Zou Fang all take seats.

Soon several jars of Drunken Immortal Wine were brought in, and upon opening the lid, the aroma filled the entire room, intoxicating without even drinking, indescribably wonderful.

Chu Zhiyuan praised.

To brew wine so enticingly is indeed the pinnacle of skill, worthy of respect, very impressive.

After a few cups of wine, the atmosphere warmed up.

Guo Chi and several others gradually relaxed, no longer adhering to the usual rules.

They talked more.

”Princely Heir, why invite that old man to our mansion?” Guo Chi curiously asked: ”It’s obvious he’s up to no good.”

”Captain Guo,” Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”That person is a Great Grandmaster of Wentian Cliff.”

”Then it’s even less appropriate to invite him to the Prince Mansion.” Guo Chi was puzzled.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”We must understand the strengths and weaknesses of Wentian Cliff, he is the high-ranking person we can approach, by the way, remember to tell the guards in the mansion, if he comes, immediately inform me.”

Super Sense’s insight into a Great Grandmaster’s visualization, immediately deceived by the visualization of a Great Grandmaster, but with time spent beside Chu Qingfeng, gradually found ways to cope.

Now he could initially overcome such illusions and understand some truths about the Great Grandmaster.

Mo Chunyu is an excellent subject of research.

The mysteries of Wentian Cliff could be partially unraveled through him.

...

”Yes, once he arrives, let the Princely Heir know,” Guo Chi heartily agreed: ”However, having him with the Prince, it is quite frightening.”

”Rest assured, he wouldn’t dare harm Father,” Chu Zhiyuan laughed: ”Don’t forget the Imperial Grandfather, no matter what, Father is also his son, a Great Grandmaster dare not act recklessly?”

If it were demonic people like the Yuding Sect, they might recklessly risk their lives, dare to kill Father, but upon reaching the Grandmaster Realm, they absolutely wouldn’t dare.

Great Grandmasters have long life spans, they won’t risk lives lightly.

Killing the Emperor’s son, thereby being obliterated by the Emperor’s Sword, they wouldn’t do this, unless it is a blood feud beyond reconciliation.

——

A bright moon hung high in the middle of the sky.

Chu Zhiyuan and his group left the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, once out of the tavern, being Grandmasters themselves, they shook their bodies, dispersing the alcohol with Gang Qi.

Immediately cleared their minds.

As Prince Mansion Guards, they only allowed themselves to be slightly intoxicated, once out of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, they needed to regain their clarity, to perform their duty as guards.

The group walked on the bustling street, among the crowd.

Yujing is a city that never sleeps.

Since the Da Zhen Mission’s arrival, many Martial Arts experts have flocked to Yujing’s Inner City.

These Martial Arts experts of considerable cultivation have no worries about money, and with sufficient money, they spend extravagantly.

Thus, the Inner City of Yujing was not only more crowded but also more prosperous.

Even in the dead of night, the streets were teeming with activity, even more lively than during the daytime.

Chu Zhiyuan ignored these prosperities, while pondering over the Flying Dragon Bone, absorbing it, while considering Cheng Tianfeng’s swordsmanship.

He always felt that he had some insights, yet still missing something.

At the moment the Gang Qi clashed, he could see the scene inside Cheng Tianfeng’s body, saw the swordsmanship’s driving path.

Through this operating route, compared with the Heart Inquiry Saber Skill, gaining deeper insight into the Heart Inquiry Saber Skill.

Walking, Chu Zhiyuan found himself doubling back.

Zou Fang didn’t say anything.

The four of Guo Chi didn’t get disappointed either.

After finishing eating and drinking, it’s normal to walk more, to stretch their legs.

Chu Zhiyuan didn’t know why he doubled back here but didn’t immediately turn around; anyway, he wrongly continued forward.

Super Sense enveloped the Zhenyi Sect’s altars, especially below Bai Jingmang’s small courtyard.

He suddenly raised an eyebrow.

There were new traces in the extremely deep secret chamber under Bai Jingmang’s courtyard, the mechanism was triggered, destroying the mural, destroying the Qionghua Nine Chapters record.

Chu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but feel regret.

The mud on the outside of Qionghua Nine Chapters’s mural wasn’t removed.

It was evident that this mural was not discovered, only the secret chamber was, trying to intrude triggered the mechanism, destroying the mural.

If not for seeing it himself, in mastering it, the Qionghua Nine Chapters record might have been completely lost, extinct in the world.

Such a miracle technique being lost is truly regrettable.

Super Sense saw that the disciples within the Zhenyi Sect did not practice this technique, evidently, the original founder didn’t intend to pass down the technique.

But lamented its loss, thus made it a mural left here.

Yet sealed off the mural.

The complexity and entanglement of the founder of Zhenyi Sect regarding Qionghua Nine Chapters could be vaguely seen through this secret chamber, as well as the complexity and entanglement with Yao Yue Palace could be vaguely seen.

Who discovered this secret chamber?

The entrance to the secret chamber had long been sealed, impossible to discover.

Almost impossible to inadvertently intrude, nor could one barge in, should have obtained a map left by the founder of Zhenyi Sect.

Yet triggering the mechanism while having obtained the map.

Very peculiar.

There’s a pool of purplish bloodstain on the ground, the intruder was severely injured, indicating their martial arts aren’t that strong.

At least not reaching Grandmaster.

He suddenly had a thought: Could the intruder be a disciple of Yao Yue Palace?

The moment the thought appeared, he dismissed it.

Yao Yue Palace disciples don’t set foot in Yujing City, it’s seemingly an agreement between Yao Yue Palace and the Emperor, proud as Yao Yue Palace wouldn’t breach the agreement.

Then who was it?

He took steps forward and ultimately stopped outside a mansion three streets away.

The blood dripped here ceased, stopped bleeding at last, lost track, but couldn’t escape the gaze of Super Sense.

This person entered the mansion.

Super Sense also saw inside this empty mansion, a young man lay on a bed in one of the rooms and was already unconscious.
