Chapter 399: Chapter 396: Desire to Return

```html

He was always comparing the Glazed Blade Scripture with his own cultivation realm.

The Spirit Transformation Realm involves practicing the sword intent, which he initially thought corresponded to the Great Grandmaster Realm.

Later, he found it didn’t reach the Great Grandmaster Realm but was between Grandmaster and Great Grandmaster.

Because sword intent can only interfere with Great Grandmasters, but can’t kill them.

What about the Concealing God Realm and Divinity Transformation Realm?

He felt they must correspond to the Great Grandmaster Realm, as the Spirit Transformation Realm was just a bit short.

Is the Spirit Transformation Realm equivalent to the Grandmaster Realm then?

But the sword intent can seriously injure or even kill him, which is the power of a Great Grandmaster.

Looking now, there is indeed a difference between the Glazed Blade Scripture and the current realms, so they can’t correspond one-to-one.

In that case, it’s best to push forward, as stepping into the Great Grandmaster will always be beneficial.

He held the long blade horizontally in front of him, and once again concentrated, gaining insight.

At this moment, there were no obstacles, as he could clearly perceive both the interior and exterior of the long blade.

Its material was special and subtly exuded an aura from beyond the heavens.

This blade was actually made from Outer Heaven Meteor Iron, no wonder it remained so pristine.

As he wielded the long blade, it felt both heavy and light, two contradictory sensations perfectly fused into one.

He closed his eyes and, after a moment, began to once again infuse it with the aura of the Glazed Blade Scripture.

The next instant, the long blade appeared before him again, the sky filled with dark clouds instantaneously, and thunder like a purple sword broke through the clouds, descending onto the blade.

The long blade was locked by purple lightning, then fiercely slashed down.

Chu Zhiyuan’s ears were filled with the sound of a dragon’s roar once more.

He instantly woke up, and before his eyes turned dark, his body was drenched in sweat, nearly drained of energy.

He simultaneously performed the Heavenly Yuan Technique and Earth Origin Technique.

Constantly replenishing his body.

He found that the sword intent had condensed significantly, with remarkable effects.

If he continued this a few more times, he estimated the Spirit Transformation Realm would reach perfection.

This treasure blade of the Flying Sky Sect was indeed extraordinary.

——

At dinner time, Li Suyue was also present.

Chu Zhiyuan was already not surprised by this, having nearly become accustomed to Li Suyue’s presence.

Chu Yi and Li Suyue were close, becoming more and more intimate, almost having her over for dinner every day.

Li Suyue also enjoyed staying here, practicing martial arts with Chu Yi, tending to the flowers and plants, neither lonely nor unfulfilled.

Moreover, her martial arts progressed quickly.

Chu Yi said with a grin, ”Big brother, Sister Li has already reached Innate Perfection, can you take a look?”

Chu Zhiyuan was startled and looked at Li Suyue.

Li Suyue was about to put a piece of meat to her mouth with her chopsticks when she heard this, and seeing Chu Zhiyuan looking over, the meat fell back onto the plate.

Her beautiful face flushed red.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”So quickly to reach Innate Perfection?”

”Hehe, Sister Li is also a genius, not inferior to you, big brother.”

”No, no.”

Li Suyue shook her hand vigorously, pulling her sleeve to stop her from speaking hastily.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled at Li Suyue, nodding slowly, ”Indeed, Innate Perfection, seems like it’s well in tune with the Great and Small Guiyuan Steps.”

He couldn’t help but think of Cheng Miaozhen’s Two Forms Guiyuan Sect and Two Forms Guiyuan Technique.

It appeared that the Great and Small Guiyuan Steps had nothing to do with the Two Forms Guiyuan Sect, just the names were similar.

But both methods were extremely suitable for Li Suyue and Chu Yi, and both of their advancement was remarkable.

Naturally, there was also the marvel of the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree.

They did not know the wonders of the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree.

They simply thought that because they liked strange flowers and exotic plants, they practiced among them every day, feeling joyful, hence advancing so quickly.

Chu Zhiyuan naturally wouldn’t say more.

After all, the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree involved the Yongling Divine Sect, which he was very wary of.

”Big brother, these two step techniques are indeed profound, I’m also at Innate Sixth Layer Heaven now, progressing faster and faster.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, looked at Li Suyue, and shook his head, ”You don’t need to practice anything else, just practice for a few more days and you’ll break through.”

”Big brother, aren’t you going to take a closer look?” Chu Yi said discontentedly, ”Aren’t you going to check?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”No need for that, just remember not to be anxious, go with the flow, and you’ll break through soon.”

”Yes.” Li Suyue replied softly.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Chu Yi, ”Don’t rush, training too rigorously won’t achieve the desired results.”

”Alright.” Chu Yi replied helplessly, ”Actually, I haven’t been that harsh.”

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.

With the stimulus of the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree, their progression was extremely fast, and the faster they progressed, the more excited they became, driving them to cultivate even harder.

They had been cultivating for so long, if it weren’t for the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree, both would have been injured by now.

Fortunately, the strange flowers and exotic plants helped soothe their emotions and adjust their mental states.

This also harmonized with the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree.

If the two girls didn’t both love strange flowers and exotic plants, they wouldn’t have benefited so much from the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree.

By being fond of strange flowers and exotic plants, they harmonized with the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree, and the aid they received was greater.

Chu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but marvel at the luck of the two girls. Chu Yi was alright, but Li Suyue was exceptionally lucky.

Cultivating beside the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree was akin to practicing in a Secret Land, similar to ancient times.

Their advancement naturally was extraordinarily fast.

Cultivating at the Listening Wave Pavilion could also be aided by the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree.

Unfortunately, he had long passed this stage, and the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree offered limited help to him.

But any help was better than none.

Chu Zhiyuan took another look at Li Suyue, who was blushing and silent, and shook his head.

If nothing unexpected happened, Li Suyue would become a Great Grandmaster in the future.

The foundation she laid was solid and of course, Chu Yi also had the potential of a Great Grandmaster.

At the initial stage, having a solid foundation made stepping into the Grandmaster realm very smooth.

Then, with the help of the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree, their progression would advance rapidly, and in twenty or thirty years, they could expect to become Great Grandmasters.

This was without any serendipitous encounters; if they had any, it would speed up the process.

During this time, he would assist them.

——

Chu Zhiyuan was sitting with his eyes closed, running the Heavenly Yuan Technique and Earth Origin Technique to replenish his body’s depletion.

A layer of sweat shone on his forehead.

He suddenly turned his head and discovered Zhu Caifu.

Zhu Caifu appeared silently, seemingly standing there watching all along.

Chu Zhiyuan cupped his hands, ”Mr. Zhu.”

”What’s going on here?” Zhu Caifu asked curiously.

Chu Zhiyuan replied, ”Due to training.”

”Your training is quite intense.” Zhu Caifu said in amazement.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”There’s no choice but to push hard. I must first become a Great Grandmaster to avoid being manipulated.”

”You two think alike.” Zhu Caifu sighed, ”We need to return to Da Zhen.”

Chu Zhiyuan was taken aback.

Zhu Caifu said, ”News from the palace, Lady Shu is seriously ill.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and looked at her.

Zhu Caifu’s face was gloomy, she sighed, ”Her health has never been great, perhaps this latest incident was too much of a shock for her, ...sigh—!”

Her face was gloomy with a hint of worry.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned, ”Is it really serious, beyond help?”

Zhu Caifu replied, ”All kinds of spirit pills have been used, but it seems like it’s fate.”

Chu Zhiyuan asked, ”Going for a final visit?”

”...That’s exactly what I’m afraid of.” Zhu Caifu frowned, ”If the second sister really has trouble, Miaozhen would resent the Emperor to the death.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

”We need to set off quickly.” Zhu Caifu said, ”Leaving this afternoon, there’s no time to waste.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned in thought.

Zhu Caifu asked, ”Do you have any ideas?”

Chu Zhiyuan ultimately shook his head.

”Isn’t your Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse fast?”

Chu Zhiyuan was helpless.

Her target was indeed the Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse.
