Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 394: Chapter 391 Sinister

”This kind of mental method...” Yun Qiuhua pondered and finally shook her head, saying, ”I’ve never heard of it, it’s almost impossible to cultivate such a mental method.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”Indeed, it’s very difficult.”

The first talent for cultivating this mental method is the Dual Use, which is truly using two minds simultaneously.

Simultaneously activating two mental methods, and they must be synchronized, at a constant speed.

So that they can precisely cancel each other out.

If synchronization cannot be achieved, the two breaths will not only fail to cancel each other out but will instead collide fiercely.

This step alone shows its difficulty.

This is a unique talent.

Of course, besides this talent, other qualities are also needed.

Chu Zhiyuan felt it was a pity.

It is said that Yun Qiuhua is already over 400 years old, appearing youthful, yet is quite experienced.

The Yao Yue Palace has well-informed intelligence, especially in collecting information regarding martial arts, studying martial arts from various sects.

She hadn’t even heard of this kind of mental method, probably making it even harder for others to know.

”Whose mental method is this?” Yun Qiuhua laughed and asked.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head.

Xiao Ruoling pressed her lips and chuckled softly.

Yun Qiuhua immediately understood, giggled, and said, ”Is it that Eighteenth Princess?”

Chu Zhiyuan helplessly said, ”Elder Yun, this matter must not be spread, she was originally secretive, hiding it from everyone.”

”Understood, understood, won’t spread.” Yun Qiuhua giggled, ”I didn’t expect this one to be such a formidable hidden character, what a pity.”

Chu Zhiyuan lightly coughed and said, ”Let’s go in first.”

As he spoke, he took Xiao Ruoling’s jade hand, stepping together into the void of the cliff.

Yun Qiuhua giggled and shook her head.

It is said that this Eighteenth Princess is also an unparalleled beauty.

Just missing out like this, in the future, he will inevitably regret it.

Men are like this.

Wishing to collect all the beauties under heaven, making all beauties their own women.

No matter how good Chu Zhiyuan’s qualifications or perception, he cannot eliminate this inherent defect.

——

Chu Zhiyuan and Xiao Ruoling appeared in a dense forest.

Lush, tall and straight.

Seeing this environment, Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”Luck isn’t good enough.”

At a glance, it was familiar.

They had been here before, a familiar place, nothing much to explore.

It seems, before exploring a secret land, one must touch Xu Yingying’s luck.

This time there wasn’t enough time to find Xu Yingying, they came directly.

Leading to this result now.

Entering a secret land without the blessing of luck is indeed a waste of time.

Xiao Ruoling laughed, ”Even familiar places, places you’ve been to, also have changes.”

Chu Zhiyuan raised a sword-like eyebrow.

Xiao Ruoling said, ”Time in the secret land isn’t the same, and the positions within the secret land are always changing, silently shifting.”

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.

He noticed some changes and differences around, just over a month had passed, yet it seemed like a year had gone by.

The difference between a month and a year is still significant.

Or maybe it’s because the plants in the secret land grow extremely fast, far exceeding the outside world.

The ground had already sprouted some previously unseen flowers and grasses, becoming more lush.

What truly disappointed Chu Zhiyuan was that there would be no demon beast attacks here.

Xiao Ruoling’s identity wouldn’t attract demon beast attacks, and now he was the same.

And he came to the secret land to test whether the Glazed Blade Scripture, killing demon beasts would also enhance its spirituality.

If it only enhanced through killing humans, then the Glazed Blade Scripture was indeed a bit wicked.

But none of the demon beasts here would take the initiative to attack them, and he was also embarrassed to proactively kill them.

Seeing that Xiao Ruoling didn’t seem to want to leave, he didn’t mention leaving either, wondering what changes familiar places would have.

Xiao Ruoling said, ”Is the Eighteenth Prince beautiful enough?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled at her.

Xiao Ruoling, dressed in white like snow, otherworldly and unparalleled in beauty, seemed like a fairy descended to the dusty world, beauty not of this mortal realm.

Xiao Ruoling looked at him with a half-smile, ”How do I compare?”

”Not as beautiful as you,” Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

Xiao Ruoling pressed her lips and laughed softly.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”It’s the truth, she is indeed beautiful, comparable to you before practicing Taiyin Great Refining Form, but now, of course, she’s far inferior to you.”

Xiao Ruoling’s lips curled up as she touched her face, ”It’s a pity, she doesn’t want to marry into the Prince Mansion.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”She has supreme talent, possesses supreme martial arts, and is a Princess of high stature, how could she willingly marry a Princely Heir of Da Jing?”

Xiao Ruoling laughed, ”In the end, you have grievances.”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed helplessly.

He always had to explain he held no grievances, but they always projected their thoughts onto him.

As if he had become the victim, abandoned by Cheng Miaozhen.

He couldn’t mention that it was his idea.

This matter must be kept a closely guarded secret, absolutely not to be known by a fourth person.

If it leaked out, it would indeed bring great disgrace to the Emperor.

Especially the Emperor of Da Jing, appearing even more foolish, as if being toyed with by the Eighteenth Princess of Da Zhen.

Xiao Ruoling softly said, ”She will regret it in the future.”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”She won’t regret it; she never intended to marry.”

”I originally didn’t want to marry either,” Xiao Ruoling said, ”But later on? The key is to meet that person, then naturally want to marry.”

Before meeting the Princely Heir, she too held the belief of living a solitary life.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”To her, that person may not have appeared yet.”

”It’s a pity, it’s not you, the Princely Heir,” Xiao Ruoling laughed.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and clasped her jade hand, crystal clear and warm, like mutton fat jade, ”Being sent to marry in a foreign land, to a stranger, spending a lifetime together, and forever away from one’s homeland—that kind of sorrow, can an ordinary person bear it?”

Xiao Ruoling’s smile faded, and she sighed lightly.

Once she put herself in that position, she immediately felt the horror.

Were she the Eighteenth Princess, it may not have been possible to go as far as she did either.

At the very least, she saved herself through means, not having to be forced to marry a man.

”Hmm?” Chu Zhiyuan suddenly exclaimed in surprise, ”A new demon beast has come.”

While they were talking, they were walking out, Chu Zhiyuan remembered every place they passed clearly, every detail vividly presented in his mind.

He suddenly stopped, seeing a strange beast appearing in a cave not far on the cliff.

It looked like a leopard, yet thinner and smaller than a leopard.

However, it gave Chu Zhiyuan a feeling of danger.

”Be careful of what’s inside,” Chu Zhiyuan gestured with his mouth, withdrew his gaze, and whispered, ”It’s new, probably took over the territory, once occupied by a white snake.”

”Something seems off,” Xiao Ruoling softly said, ”The feeling in this area is not right.”

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.

As he focused his gaze, he swiftly reduced his observation range from one kilometer to three hundred meters.

And then sensed the air seems to be filled with a hint of oddity and tension.

The leopard lightly flew out of the cave, soared towards the sky, and actually drifted into the air, diving towards them.

Chu Zhiyuan didn’t see any wings, yet it could glide in the air.

It got faster and faster, like an arrow off the string, shooting towards Chu Zhiyuan.

The Bright Moon Saber at Chu Zhiyuan’s waist lit up, manifesting a blend of illusory and real blade shadows.

Slices through the neck of the leopard lightly, making it sever into two.

Chu Zhiyuan stood in place, finely sensing the blade, and eventually shook his head.

The spiritual nature of the Bright Moon Saber hadn’t changed.

This means, indeed, the Glazed Blade Scripture is wicked.
