Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 530: Chapter 527 The Reason

```html

The martial experts of the Huaisu Sect are clearly the foundation of the people in the valley.

There are quite a few martial experts from the Huaisu Sect nearby, making him speculate.

Could it be that most of the martial experts of the Huaisu Sect actually live in the Southern Border?

With these sixteen martial experts from the Huaisu Sect dead, a large number of them surged once more, already over thirty.

Thirty-four martial experts of the Huaisu Sect fell again, disappearing into the vast forest below.

Xu Haode stood up to operate his cultivation for healing while watching the Huaisu Sect experts approaching from afar and disappearing quickly. He chuckled and said, ”Princely Heir, if we hold this place, can we wipe out all the disciples of the Huaisu Sect?”

”We can almost wipe out the ones nearby.” Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, ”We can’t let them come in now, lest there be further disruptions.”

Previously, he exhausted all means just to destroy the power cast down by the Outer Heaven Demons.

If there are no disciples of the Huaisu Sect to guide, the Outer Heaven Demons cannot descend their power.

There’s fear of someone guiding.

Such a guidance is not achieved by mere prayer, but requires special Evil Artifacts.

It is very likely to be that largest Golden Body Statue.

”Ah, not to hide from the Princely Heir, this is my first time attacking an Evil Sect’s main altar, it’s truly exhilarating! Ha! Truly exhilarating!”

”It’s my first time as well, fearful and cautious, like walking on thin ice.”

”Princely Heir, you are indeed cautious.” Xu Haode agreed deeply: ”If it were me with your skills, I would have rushed in with my blade and caused a scene, killing everyone in one breath.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: ”They are supported by Outer Heaven Evil Power, unless that power is depleted to a certain extent, they might not be killed.”

”Hmm...” Xu Haode thought, and agreed: ”Right, we need to exhaust their power first and then kill them, Princely Heir, you’re steady!”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, ”There’s no other way; no one really knows how strong these Outer Heaven Demons are, better not fall into their hands.”

Xu Haode nodded forcefully.

He realized he still underestimated the power of the Outer Heaven Demons.

That in fact, the power of the Outer Heaven Demons was far beyond what he could handle or devour.

If he truly devoured the Evil Demon Power, he would already be dead.

He was fortunate that he had been cautious before and hadn’t rashly entered the main altar.

Chu Zhiyuan didn’t rush to go in and waited beside Xu Haode for him to operate his cultivation for healing.

After three waves, there was no further movement; evidently, the disciples of the Huaisu Sect nearby had all come over and were wiped out.

Xu Haode eagerly stepped forward: ”Princely Heir, let’s see what good things are here!”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and accompanied him, stepping into the valley.

His intuition no longer gave warnings, so he confidently entered.

...

The valley was excessively quiet, as if everything had stopped, no birds, no insects, no sound of wind, only the footsteps of the two of them.

The enormous Golden Body Venerable Statue at the entrance of the valley overlooked the entire valley, overlooking their intrusion.

On either side of the giant Venerable Statue were two Golden Body Venerable Statues, each as tall as a person, seemingly lifelike.

Chu Zhiyuan went straight to the front of the giant Venerable Statue, swept his sleeve, scattering the bones away to reveal the white jade ground beneath, revealing the strange engravings on the white jade ground.

Under Chu Zhiyuan’s Insight, he sensed something strange, as if an invisible force was preventing his Insight.

This force did not come from the Outer Heaven Power, but from the power of the earth.

He closed his eyes, then opened them again.

Indeed, these patterns could not be remembered, and they were phoenix patterns again.

The mystery of these phoenix patterns, he had yet to unravel; when he first discovered it, he thought that once he reached a higher cultivation level, he would be able to comprehend them.

His cultivation was already at the Grandmaster Second Layer, yet he still knew nothing about the mystery of the phoenix patterns.

Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment, turned to Xu Haode who was examining the Golden Body Venerable Statue: ”Mr. Xu, I would like to take these jades back for research.”

”This is the key to the array formation, isn’t it?” Xu Haode said.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: ”Ten to nine, it’s related to them.”

”Princely Heir, take them.” Xu Haode nodded straightforwardly.

Chu Zhiyuan looked around: ”This is the main altar, it should be hiding quite a few treasures.”

”There must be treasures.” Xu Haode said: ”Princely Heir, you’re about to strike it rich.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”It’s a pity that you, Mr. Xu, didn’t get your wish.”

Originally, Xu Haode wanted to devour the Outer Heaven Power, the Evil Demon Power to aid in cultivation.

Now it seems that the Evil Demon Power cannot be devoured.

Xu Haode waved his hand: ”I was just testing; I can’t do it if it’s impossible... Regardless, killing these guys is a mighty celebration worth rejoicing!”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

It was clear to him that what Xu Haode enjoyed most was killing the wicked people of the Evil Sect.

Devouring the Evil Demon Power to aid in cultivation was not the main focus, the main goal was killing wicked people and destroying the Evil Sect.

His hatred for the Evil Sect was as deep as his own, and the satisfaction and joy he derived from killing wicked people were not inferior to his own.

”The most exhilarating thing in this world is killing wicked people and destroying the Evil Sect.” Xu Haode sighed: ”These guys shouldn’t exist in this world!”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Xu Haode said: ”Princely Heir might think I’m pretentious, as the heir of the Evil Emperor, to hate the Evil Sect so much, how ridiculous.”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Xu Haode said plainly: ”My parents and six siblings all died at the hands of those wicked people.”

Chu Zhiyuan was stunned.

This was a fact he didn’t know.

”I was only three at the time, the scene is clear in my mind, unforgettable for life.” Xu Haode looked up to the sky.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Whether in the Yao Yue Palace or the Inspection Department, this information about Xu Haode was absent.

The records only described an orphan origin, with no mention of the reasons for becoming an orphan.

Xu Haode’s face flashed with ferocity and malice: ”Then, I swore to eradicate all wicked people of the Evil Sect in the world, leaving none behind!”

Chu Zhiyuan slowly said: ”Wicked people of the Evil Sect, everyone should kill them!”

”Right, everyone should kill them!” Xu Haode said through gritted teeth: ”But how many people in the world are really capable of doing so?”

He looked at Chu Zhiyuan: ”In my life, I’ve only seen you, Princely Heir!”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”May all the wicked people in the world face execution.”

”That is also my wish!” Xu Haode said in a deep voice: ”To assist the Princely Heir, I find it enough for Xu!”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: ”Then let us encourage each other and continue killing!”

Xu Haode gestured around: ”Everything obtained here, all belongs to the Princely Heir; Xu asks for nothing.”

Chu Zhiyuan quickly said: ”That won’t do.”

Xu Haode said: ”Princely Heir doesn’t mind me being a burden, letting me help by your side is already enough for Xu!”

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand and said: ”Mr. Xu, this isn’t a long-term plan, we must continue our cooperation.”

”Then how about this, if we encounter treasures, I will take one each time.”

”...Alright.” Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

Xu Haode smiled and said: ”I’ll go see what treasures these guys have hidden!”

He delved into the only hall.

Chu Zhiyuan observed the five Golden Body Venerable Statues.

The body of the Venerable Statue at human height still had a few sparse red lines.

However, the largest Venerable Statue only had a thick black line reaching skyward, with no red lines.

Chu Zhiyuan felt the black line closely, compared with the Golden Body Venerable Statue from the Sky Control Sect.

The thickness of the black lines differed by nearly half.

On the other side, Xu Haode piled up boxes one after another.

After a short while, a large heap had formed.

Even though Chu Zhiyuan had already used Insight beforehand, he couldn’t help but look over.

These boxes and chests were scattered around, unobtrusive, but together they looked grand.
