Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 452: Chapter 449: Pointing Out

```html

He thought for a moment, then temporarily set aside the idea of a breakthrough and focused on cultivating the visualization map.

When practicing the Kunlun Visualization Map, there had been times when the map became increasingly clear, became real, then gave birth to the insight of the mountain, leading to the gate of Great Grandmaster.

I wonder what form the Sunrise Visualization Diagram will take when practiced to its fullest.

His difference from others was his powerful and inexhaustible spiritual power.

So he focused on the visualization practice, and once again the sunrise rose from his mind, emerged from the Bai Hui acupoint, appearing in the void.

The purple light in the void and his spiritual power poured into the sunrise.

The sunrise grew more and more solid.

He could clearly feel the area covered by the sunrise extending ten meters.

Within the area covered by the sunrise, spiritual power was like a gentle breeze, able to touch everything within ten meters, yet unable to shake it.

Like dust, like the ground, like furniture, like air, he could only feel them, touch them, but could not move them.

He felt it was not as good as Super Sense.

He tried to condense his spiritual power into something, into a scene.

With this in mind, he found it surprisingly easy to do.

A saber appeared within the ten-meter range, it was the Bright Moon Saber.

He then had a spark of inspiration, and the Bright Moon Saber in his mind was injected into this Bright Moon Saber.

The Bright Moon Saber condensed by his spiritual power and the Bright Moon Saber in his mind easily merged together.

He inexplicably felt a strange sensation, an invincibility.

The Bright Moon Saber suddenly slashed across the ground.

Yet nothing changed.

He then understood that void is ultimately void, and transforming void into reality is still very difficult, something he couldn’t achieve at his current level.

However, this was already different from Super Sense.

Super Sense could only provide insight, only observe coldly, remain aloof, whereas spiritual power could intervene.

Even though it could only intervene on a spiritual level and couldn’t enter the material level, it was already a huge progress.

As spiritual power continued to pour in ceaselessly, and the purple light was continuously absorbed, the sunrise became clearer.

The covered area continued to expand and extend, ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters, ... eventually reaching a hundred meters.

After reaching a hundred meters, the range of the sunrise no longer expanded, as if it had reached a limit.

Chu Zhiyuan was enlightened.

The visualization map was constrained by the Grandmaster Realm, the coverage area couldn’t expand infinitely, no matter how strong the spiritual power was it couldn’t surpass the limits.

The sunrise slowly sank into the void of his mind, like a new sun reflecting on the dawn-like void.

He gazed within his brow at the Nine-layered Golden Tower.

The Golden Tower quietly hung in the void, allowing spiritual energy to pass through, indomitable and indestructible, as if enduring for millions of years without damage.

He opened his eyes, his gaze deep as the sea.

Shaking his head helplessly.

Ultimately, he still had to elevate his realm, there was no avoiding it.

So, he would start with the Secret Cave Heaven, to see if there was any solution.

Or with the Glazed Blade Scripture.

If the Glazed Blade Scripture is cultivated to perfection, could it still not break through the Great Grandmaster Realm?

——

”Brother Gao.”

”Princely Heir, congratulations.” Gao Jiuqu clasped his fists, his expression filled with admiration and amazement.

He knew best how difficult it was to advance to Great Grandmaster, how elusive the gate to Great Grandmaster was.

Therefore, he both envied and admired how Chu Zhiyuan had, at such a young age, directly stepped into Great Grandmaster.

Deep down, there was a faint jealousy.

But he quickly suppressed this jealousy, transforming it into admiration.

Chu Zhiyuan left the Mingwu Hall and came straight to the Four Directions Pavilion, where Gao Jiuqu was at the Da Zhen Pavilion.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, ”Brother Gao will eventually get there too.”

”I am completely clueless.” Gao Jiuqu revealed a helpless bitter smile.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”It might happen tomorrow, or the next moment when inspiration strikes, then you’ll see the gate to Great Grandmaster. Just wait patiently.”

He had been recollecting the process of achieving Great Grandmaster, the emergence of the gate to Great Grandmaster.

It seemed like a strange charm, a peculiar kind of aura appeared.

This charm and aura was generated through the Kunlun Visualization Map. And what change would the Kunlun Visualization Map cause in oneself?

He decided to go back and practice the Kunlun Visualization Map a bit more, to see what the situation was.

Perhaps he could glimpse the secrets of achieving Great Grandmaster and unravel its mysteries.

If he really could reach this step, he would be able to assist others directly in achieving Great Grandmaster.

This would directly change the current situation.

”Hope it comes soon.” Gao Jiuqu sighed.

”It’s only a matter of time,” Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, ”Brother Gao, I’m curious whether those guys from the Evil Sect will come again?”

Gao Jiuqu slowly nodded.

”When will they come?”

”Just in a few days.” Gao Jiuqu said, ”Even though they know you achieved Great Grandmaster, they still want to destroy Prince Qing Mansion.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

They came to annihilate the Prince Mansion, seemingly to vent a rage.

It wasn’t just to prevent himself from becoming a Great Grandmaster as he had thought.

”Being alone cannot defend against a multitude, Princely Heir must still be cautious.” Gao Jiuqu showed a worried expression.

Even though Chu Zhiyuan had become a Great Grandmaster, as a newly advanced Great Grandmaster he would definitely be lacking compared to those Great Grandmasters whose lifespan was nearing its end.

It wasn’t certain he could defeat these Great Grandmasters.

”I must indeed be cautious.” Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded, his expression somber: ”Within ten days?”

”It should be within ten days. By the way, there will be heavy snow that day.”

Chu Zhiyuan showed a smile.

On the day of heavy snow, that would be easy to handle.

However, he couldn’t be too complacent either, Gao Jiuqu might not have predicted it accurately.

Chu Qingyan and four Great Grandmasters still had to remain stationed at Prince Qing Mansion.

He bid farewell to Gao Jiuqu, left the Da Zhen Pavilion, and stopped in front of the Da Meng Pavilion.

A guard clasped his fists and said, ”Your Highness, His Highness has already left.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

He knew that Li Hongzhao had left.

Li Hongzhao had left in a hurry after learning that he entered the Da Zhen Pavilion.

This was obviously to avoid him.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and shook his head, childish, how could he possibly avoid himself?

He walked slowly out of the Four Directions Pavilion, walking along Phoenix Avenue, passing by Bright Moon Tower without going in.

Li Hongzhao wasn’t at the frequented Bright Moon Tower.

He continued walking forward, stopping at Lingyun Tower, and turned his head to look up.

Li Hongzhao’s beautiful face was peeking through the window and looking down.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and clasped his fists.

Li Hongzhao snorted.

Chu Zhiyuan turned and entered Lingyun Tower, arriving at the elegant room on the third floor where Li Hongzhao was.

Li Hongzhao waved her hand to dismiss the maids serving, leaving only the two of them in the room.

Li Hongzhao still wore a red gown, adding a few more points to her beauty, lazily watching him and snorted, ”Congratulations.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, ”Does the bet still count?”

”Of course it counts.” Li Hongzhao snorted, ”Rest assured, you won’t lose out, ... when will you go?”

”We’ll see, ... after reaching Great Grandmaster with the Phoenix Cry Nine Heavens Technique, will we continue to move upwards?”

”...You must have felt the sense of being unable to break through, right?”

Li Hongzhao smiled, her radiant smile slowly blossoming like a flower.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded frankly, ”It is indeed hard to break through.”

Li Hongzhao chuckled lightly, sipping a cup of wine leisurely, ”That’s right, the Phoenix Cry Nine Heavens Technique can go further.”

Chu Zhiyuan observed her.

Li Hongzhao’s smile deepened, her beauty dazzling, ”Do you want to stay in place, watching me continue to rise, feeling that the times have changed?”

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, ”It’s merely using the Outer Heaven Power.”

He speculated that Li Hongzhao’s Phoenix Cry Nine Heavens Technique should be leveraging the Outer Heaven Power.

Even if not Outer Heaven Power, it was another kind of external force, not achieved by her own cultivation.

Otherwise, it couldn’t have come so easily to Grandmaster Perfection.

Moreover, a phoenix hovered in the void above her head, and there was also a phoenix in her mind.

This pointed out a path: to break the realm, one must rely on external force.
