Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 412: Chapter 409 Sword Soul

```html

He operated the Glazed Blade Scripture, with the breath naturally flowing onto the Bright Moon Saber.

This breath, after being operated by the Glazed Blade Scripture, was like milk fed to an infant, making the spirituality of the Bright Moon Saber become active and more condensed.

It was as if transitioning from an ignorant embryo to an infant, then continuing to grow, with a transformation in its spirituality.

This transformation is the Concealing God Realm.

The Yunling Realm is the condensing of spirituality, initially coming to life, while the Concealing God Realm is the transformation of spirituality into intelligence, shifting from a state of ignorance to wisdom.

Chu Zhiyuan felt it was transforming towards the intelligence of the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree.

This feeling was very peculiar, like raising a puppy, giving the sensation of nurturing a pet.

Chu Zhiyuan continued to operate until this strange breath was completely absorbed by the Bright Moon Saber.

He closed his eyes, feeling the generation of this breath.

This breath did not originate from Gang Qi but from Sword Intent, which naturally generated this breath as it condensed.

And the condensation of Sword Intent consumes spirit and Gang Qi.

The spirit and Gang Qi can be replenished through the Heavenly Yuan Technique and Earth Origin Technique.

At the same time, a trace of Power of Soul is also consumed, which is compensated with the Spirit Summoning Talisman.

In this way, it can continuously spur Sword Intent, with the Sword Intent transforming into the strange breath, the strange breath entering the Bright Moon Saber, greatly enhancing the Bright Moon Saber’s intelligence.

Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment, then took out a Demon Crystal and placed it on the Bright Moon Saber, operating the Glazed Blade Scripture once more.

Sure enough, as he expected, the intelligence enhancement speed of the Bright Moon Saber increased even more.

After a strenuous session, he stopped, noticing the sky was already dim, and dusk was rising.

He had trained so intensely that he had lost track of day and night.

He opened the window, and Zou Fang was outside keeping watch.

”Do you want to eat, Princely Heir?”

”Forget it,” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”I’ll go out to eat later.”

After such monotonous training, there was a need to go outside to find some excitement to relax the heartstrings.

Despite having the Heavenly Yuan Technique, Earth Origin Technique, and the Spirit Summoning Talisman, they cannot truly replace real relaxation.

Wandering around the city, strolling through the streets, watching the bustle, and then going to a restaurant to eat and drink, he could completely relax.

Sometimes it surpasses any energy manipulation or breathing exercises, especially after such sleepless and relentless training.

As he stood up, he touched the Bright Moon Saber and suddenly felt that it resonated with him and was already responding to him actively.

He slightly focused on his Sword Intent, and the breath of the Bright Moon Saber merged with his own, making the Sword Intent suddenly flourish and even advance a level.

He immediately felt invigorated, a lightbulb moment.

Holding the Bright Moon Saber, he operated the Sword Intent while also drawing out the brilliantly shining long blade of the Flying Sky Sect.

Immediately, an illusion appeared before his eyes.

A long blade was struck by purple lightning in the gloomy sky, becoming increasingly bright, covered with strange patterns.

At this moment, opposite it appeared a bright long blade, like a bright moon rising into the sky.

The long blade of the Flying Sky Sect and the Bright Moon Saber confronted in the sky for a moment, then suddenly collided.

”Boom!”

In the explosion, everything turned into darkness.

He regained consciousness.

Frowning slightly.

Was this a double loss?

Insightfully looking at himself, nothing seemed strange, his Sword Intent remained perfect, his spirit unharmed.

Looking again at the long blade of the Flying Sky Sect, it remained brilliantly icy, as if nothing had happened.

The Sword Intent was already perfected, with no room for progression, so there was no advancement for himself.

He focused on the Bright Moon Saber, discovering its spirituality was more active, its intelligence increased by a notch.

He suddenly realized.

This was a battle of Sword Soul against Sword Soul; with the support of the Bright Moon Saber, he could preliminarily utilize the Sword Soul.

But he was still not a match for the Sword Soul of the Flying Sky Sect’s blade, yet he could rapidly improve the progress in the Concealing God Realm by clashing with it.

This only enhanced the Sword Soul of the Bright Moon Saber, not his own Sword Soul.

To enhance his own Sword Soul, he first needed to refine the Sword Soul of the Bright Moon Saber to Perfection, only then could the next Realm be practiced for himself.

He rose from the bed, with the four women of Mo Yi aiding him in changing clothes and washing up, then he walked outside.

Zou Fang was behind him, with Guo Chi and three others shielding him, and six Innate Masters on the outermost ring.

He strolled down the streets of Yujing City, still pondering about the Concealing God Realm.

Beneath the Concealing God Realm, the power of his sword technique was further enhanced.

Not just the Bright Moon Saber, but even the power of those Flying Knives had also increased.

Looking at it now, his strongest asset was not his Swordsmanship but his Sword Technique.

The Yu Xu Sword Sect was originally meant for swords, but now he had trained himself in the art of the sword.

He helplessly shook his head.

Arriving at the third floor of the Bright Moon Tower, to an elegant room guarded by the Lingshuang Iron Cavalry.

When Chu Zhiyuan entered, Li Hongzhao was standing by the window, looking downwards.

The room housed only her, with two beautiful maids having exited.

As Chu Zhiyuan entered, she still gazed out the window, her back to him.

Contrary to her usual attire in red, she wore a pure snow white outfit today.

Chu Zhiyuan slowly sat down.

She suddenly turned, her alluring face cold, her eyes slanted in disdain at Chu Zhiyuan.

The white clothing didn’t lessen her allure, rather it accentuated a touch of purity.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Quite a coincidence.”

”No enemies don’t meet,” Li Hongzhao snorted, ”Have you been meditating in closed-door training these past two days?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Your Highness has someone watching me?”

”Indeed,” Li Hongzhao said, ”to see if you’d run off to Jihai Town.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned, ”This matter doesn’t concern Da Meng, does it?”

He waved his hand.

Zou Fang quietly exited.

Only the two of them remained in the room.

Li Hongzhao snorted, ”This matter has nothing to do with our Da Meng.”

Chu Zhiyuan was thoughtful.

Li Hongzhao, with a bit of irritation, said, ”You sure are suspicious.”

”It’s not that I’m overly suspicious,” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”Da Meng’s spies are everywhere, sneaking into Jihai Town wouldn’t be surprising.”

Li Hongzhao sneered.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”If Da Lie and Da Guang invade the Eastern Territory as planned, causing chaos in Jihai Town at this time would be a major problem.”

Li Hongzhao snorted, ”I can only say that it absolutely has nothing to do with my Da Meng.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”You couldn’t possibly be in charge of all the Da Meng spies within the territory of Da Jing, could you?”

Li Hongzhao’s willow-like eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”If your people act recklessly, be cautious.”

Li Hongzhao said, ”So it was you indeed.”

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, ”The Imperial Decree hasn’t been leaked, has it?”

He was not surprised that Li Hongzhao guessed he had accepted this task.

The Da Jing Court is like a sieve, leaking from all sides.

Even though the Imperial Decree was only conveyed to him, and he had only mentioned it to Bai Ningyu.

But for it to leak was not surprising.

”With such a commotion in the Phoenix Camp, how could it not attract attention,” Li Hongzhao snorted, ”everyone’s calling you a fool.”

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.

In everyone’s eyes, his action indeed seemed foolish.

Over two hundred Grandmasters scattered throughout the entire Da Jing army have little impact, but concentrating them in the over a thousand strong Phoenix Camp was extraordinary.

Strangely not utilizing these two hundred Grandmasters for merit, but instead releasing them.

This action seemed utterly foolish.

Li Hongzhao asked, ”Are you preparing for suppression or pacification?”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”If it were Your Highness, what would you do?”

”Naturally, suppression,” Li Hongzhao said calmly, ”Committed treason once, there will be a second time!”

Chu Zhiyuan didn’t comment.

Li Hongzhao snorted, ”You aren’t going to be soft-hearted, are you? You’d lose control of the army that way!”

Chu Zhiyuan looked southeast, the direction of Jihai Town, ”We’ll see.”
