Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 490: Chapter 487: Trauma

”His knife technique is truly terrifying,” Shen Hanyue exclaimed, ”No wonder he dares to treat these evil sect monsters like this.”

Xiao Ruoling nodded gently.

She also didn’t expect Chu Zhiyuan’s knife technique to be so formidable.

It had reached an unbelievable realm, beyond imagination.

”Elder sister, what kind of knife technique is this?”

”It seems to be the Glazed Blade Scripture.”

”Glazed Blade Scripture... I’ve never heard of it.” Shen Hanyue shook her head, ”Such a powerful knife technique, yet I’ve never heard of it. Strange.”

”It was obtained from Xu Yingying.”

”...It’s said that this Xu Yingying is very beautiful.”

”You...always letting your imagination run wild.”

”Hmph, after all, he’s still a man. Which man isn’t fond of beauty?”

”Junior sister!”

”Fine, fine, I won’t say anymore,” Shen Hanyue said helplessly, ”Can knife techniques truly be mastered to this realm?”

”It seems we shouldn’t neglect the cultivation of swordsmanship.”

”Our swordsmanship isn’t this profound.”

”Then we need to seek out the ancient legacies, as our swordsmanship originated from the sword techniques of those times but later removed the parts beyond Great Grandmaster.”

”Right.” Shen Hanyue nodded vigorously.

Ding Zhenling sighed, ”Holy Daughter, the Princely Heir is truly incredible.”

Xiao Ruoling laughed, ”You all, no matter how incredible he is, he’s still human.”

”He hardly seems human,” Shen Hanyue scoffed, ”Capable of anything, knowing everything.”

Xiao Ruoling glanced sideways at her.

Shen Hanyue quickly laughed and said, ”Fine, fine, consider it flattery.”

She turned her head to Qu Ying, ”Miss Qu, what do you think of the Princely Heir?”

Qu Ying blurted out, ”The knife technique is divine!”

She had read many martial arts notes from the Flying Sky Sect and records from legendary figures in various sects.

This term is used most often, ”the knife technique is divine.”

She often thought this was an exaggeration, a deliberate beautification.

Now, however, she felt that this term was most appropriate for Chu Zhiyuan.

If this wasn’t a divine knife technique, then what is?

”Elder sister, you should learn from him,” Shen Hanyue said.

This brought another sideways glance from Xiao Ruoling.

Shen Hanyue laughed, ”If I want to practice to this level, what should I do?”

”...Alright, I will ask,” Xiao Ruoling said.

Not just Shen Hanyue, she herself wanted to reach this level too.

Judging from everyone’s expressions, they clearly all wanted to reach this level.

Killing without a knife, just with a thought, was unfathomable.

”Hey, where is Elder Zhou?” Shen Hanyue looked around.

She called out loudly, ”Elder Zhou? Elder Zhou?”

The evening was deep, the night had fallen.

Yet there was no sound around.

No one appeared.

Shen Hanyue looked toward Xiao Ruoling.

Xiao Ruoling said, ”Maybe something delayed her.”

”She was just here,” Shen Hanyue said, ”Elder Zhou?”

”Coming, coming,” a clear voice rang out, and suddenly, a young woman dressed in snow-white appeared before them.

With a delicate, snow-white melon-seed face and bright eyes with white teeth, Shao Feng sighed deeply, indeed as the legends say, there isn’t a single unattractive person in Yao Yue Palace, each is as beautiful as a flower.

She appeared to be about the same age as them at first glance, but a closer look revealed maturity between her brows.

”Elder Zhou, you don’t look well,” Shen Hanyue said, noticing her pale face and weary demeanor, ”Are you injured?”

”Yes, I’m injured,” Zhou Qingqing snorted.

Shen Hanyue hurriedly asked, ”Did a Great Grandmaster come and fight with you?”

Zhou Qingqing looked at Xiao Ruoling.

Xiao Ruoling asked, ”Earlier, during that move, did Elder Zhou also get injured?”

”Nearly got handled by the Princely Heir,” Zhou Qingqing shook her head, ”That one blade...”

She showed an expression of lingering fear.

”Are you alright?” Shen Hanyue asked, ”We’re all fine.”

”That’s because you don’t have spiritual power,” Zhou Qingqing sighed, ”Those of us who do receive heavier injuries.”

Xiao Ruoling said softly, ”Elder Zhou, are you alright?”

”I’ll need a few days of rest,” Zhou Qingqing sighed, ”This was just residual power, Holy Daughter, your man is becoming even more extraordinary.”

Xiao Ruoling bit her lip and smiled, ”He just entered Great Grandmaster and has always felt his cultivation was low.”

”Alas...” Zhou Qingqing sighed helplessly.

This is the difference between a genius among geniuses and ordinary geniuses.

Even after reaching Great Grandmaster, he hasn’t stopped pursuing, he’s still seeking greater strength.

She herself must work harder too, she can’t stop cultivating.

Chu Zhiyuan drifted forward, observing himself with Insight to see what exactly the Sealing God Realm was like.

The so-called Sealing God Realm, its transformation is that the Bright Moon Saber’s Sword Soul no longer needs to have sunlight project spiritual power, it can directly acquire spiritual power from the body.

He savored the Sword Soul carefully.

Found that it melded not only with spiritual power but also with soul.

It truly had a soul now.

No longer purely a Sword Intent transformed into a Sword Soul, it also had its own intelligence.

Similar to the spiritual nature of the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree.

It no longer needed to rely entirely on his command, but had its own judgment, capable of independent existence and combat.

This was true Spiritual.

Now, it shouldn’t be called Sword Soul anymore, but should be called Sword God.

With this thought, six small knives flew out from his sleeve, hovering in the air.

Chu Zhiyuan projected the Sword Soul onto them respectively.

The six small knives immediately became independent, cooperating with each other without needing him to exert energy to command.

They hovered in the air on their own, following him, waiting for him to issue commands.

They even hid their own auras, melding into the void, silent and unseen.

More importantly, it was a layer stronger than pure spiritual power.

It was suppression belonging to the realm.

Chu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but feel a bit eager, wanting to kill some Great Grandmasters.

Now, killing Great Grandmasters should be easy, just like dealing with Grandmasters before entering the Sealing God Realm.

Unfortunately, Great Grandmasters were hard to find, and despite drifting nearly a hundred miles ahead, he found nothing.

The further he walked, the rarer evil sect monsters became.

Obviously, they had all come to Yujing City, some clearer-headed or more cowardly ones stayed outside the city, searching for opportunities.

Along the way, he only killed six evil sect monsters, four were of the Innate Realm, two were Grandmasters.

He found killing evil sect Grandmasters still enhanced his Sword God.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief, fearing that at this realm, killing evil sect monsters would be ineffective.

He made a circuit and, following Xiao Ruoling’s aura, arrived at an imposing villa.

The villa was elegantly arranged inside.

Qu Ying and Shao Feng had already left. This was only about ten miles from Yujing City, a short distance by Qinggong.

Chu Zhiyuan dined with Xiao Ruoling at the villa and returned to Yujing City at night, back to the Prince Mansion.

——

Sitting on the bed in the Tingtao Courtyard, he wore a serious expression.

Ready to start a breakthrough.

Inside the Super Sensing Illumination, he saw that the two small Sword Gangs at the Heavenly Pond Acupoint had already changed.

The Sword Gangs were as clear as substance, and they also contained the Bright Moon Saber’s Sword God.

Even just a strand of Sword God brought about an essential change.

It gained Spiritual.

The two small swords moved gracefully like fish through his meridians, headed toward the Golden Tower.

The Golden Tower suddenly emitted ten thousand rays of golden light, illuminating every part of his body.

Chu Zhiyuan’s face revealed excitement.

The Golden Tower was finally damaged instead of remaining unmoved as before, unchanged.

The attacks of the Sword Gangs no longer felt like wind brushing, the Golden Tower was affected.

Although the damage was minor, the existence of damage itself was the essential difference, the size of the damage wasn’t the main point.
