Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 682: Chapter 678: Second Transitions

This feeling is very peculiar.

I seem to have transformed into another person, experiencing a life spanning hundreds of years.

Now, it feels as if I were someone reincarnated, and these years of experiences are like my past life.

She curiously looked at Xiao Ruoling: ”Senior Sister, this is so marvelous, what’s going on?”

As soon as she saw that flying dagger, she thought of Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan’s reputation with the flying dagger is indeed so prominent that nearly no one in Little Outer Heaven is unaware of it.

”Yes, it is him.” Xiao Ruoling nodded gently.

”How did he manage it?” Shen Hanyue found it unbelievable.

She knew that Chu Zhiyuan had always stayed in Little Outer Heaven and had not yet ascended.

Moreover, he would not ascend any time soon; the senior sister would have to use the Xuan Guang Shuttle to return to see him.

Under such circumstances, how could he obtain the memories of a True Disciple from Profound Yin Palace?

As for infusing this memory into her and her senior sister’s minds, that was not so surprising.

His comprehension was astonishing, and any secret skills or techniques in his hands are mastered with just one practice.

To understand such secret techniques is not strange.

Xiao Ruoling shook her head: ”It might be due to a fortunate encounter, ...we just don’t know which elder it is.”

”No need to think too much, we can inherit her cultivation insights, which also means we continue living for her,” Shen Hanyue laughed: ”Senior Sister, we can contend for this spot in the Grotto Heaven.”

Xiao Ruoling nodded.

Shen Hanyue happily praised: ”It’s really a timely rain; we will have it much better this time.”

They, as True Disciples with weak cultivation, though their master cared for them closely, were not the only ones in the palace.

They also encountered many other True Disciples, feeling the contempt in their eyes.

The contempt wasn’t just due to their cultivation; it concerned their origins too.

This made her very angry; she kept gritting her teeth wanting to surpass them, shocking them with widened eyes.

She knew that although Xiao Ruoling seemed indifferent, as if she didn’t care, she was actually holding it in.

This time, they could soon make these true disciples widen their eyes.

Xiao Ruoling smiled: ”Junior Sister, don’t rush; first hide it, and reveal it at a crucial moment.”

Shen Hanyue eagerly nodded and exclaimed: ”Hehe, still the senior sister is cunning.”

Xiao Ruoling cast her a sidelong glance, saying: ”Also, try to help out Junior Sister Zhao.”

”Hmph, Junior Sister Zhao has her elder anyway.” Shen Hanyue pouted her lips.

This period, Zhao Qingying progressed rapidly, putting them far behind.

She was already accepted by the other true disciples as a real peer.

Although Zhao Qingying was also from Little Outer Heaven, she was the Holy Daughter of Green Cloud Heaven.

But Zhao Qingying had an elder from Green Cloud Heaven protecting her, aiding her cultivation with bestowed treasures, enhancing her insight.

Although they all comprehended the Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique, her cultivation progressed faster and faster, they couldn’t catch up.

While it hadn’t affected the closeness of their relationship—the same master, together every day—

Deep down, Shen Hanyue was still unconvinced, uncomfortable, and resentful.

Not seeking to surpass her, but not wanting to fall too far behind, unable to catch up.

Now finally turning the situation around, even poised to surpass her soon.

Shen Hanyue eagerly wanted to flaunt a bit, but was doused by Xiao Ruoling’s words.

Xiao Ruoling said: ”After all, we are disciples of the same master, and come from Little Outer Heaven, we should be the closest.”

”Senior Sister, just afraid she doesn’t think so.”

”Junior Sister Zhao is reasonable too.”

”...Listen to the Senior Sister.” Shen Hanyue reluctantly agreed.

The two chatted about some other things, seeing that it was late, and then ran back to their own little courtyard.

Xiao Ruoling stood alone under the moonlight, taking out two Autumn Water Divine Blades.

Under the moonlight, these two flying daggers seemed to be in the depths of a lake.

With the water rippling, they faded in and out of view.

She scrutinized these two blades, knowing they housed Chu Zhiyuan’s avatar.

The target of these two knives is the Phoenix Dynasty, ideally entering the Imperial City of the Phoenix Dynasty.

She was now considered to be cultivating in seclusion within Profound Yin Palace, unable to descend the mountain.

Therefore, she couldn’t personally deliver them.

She could only entrust someone else to take them.

But whom to entrust also required careful consideration, needing someone absolutely trustworthy with little curiosity.

It’s best to conceal them, along with other items, to cloak these two blades.

Chu Zhiyuan sat cross-legged on his bed, clearly illuminating the anomaly of the Xiao White Snake at Shan Zhong.

The Infinite Brightness Scripture had stopped its operation, and the Xiao White Snake was enveloped in a layer of azure light.

Previously, when Infinite Brightness Scripture was operating, azure light would enter within the Xiao White Snake, but upon stopping, the azure light would disappear.

The source of this azure light came from two places; one was the faint and indistinct Yin Yang Fish in the Void above, which couldn’t be observed without Super Sensing Illumination.

The other source was the Karma Stone Wall of the True Martial Institute.

The azure light emanating from the Karma Stone Wall was clearly visible even without Super Sense.

This azure light now spread to the body of the Xiao White Snake, forming a halo.

This marked the Perfection of the First Transition, ready to step into the Second Transition.

He smiled; his advancement was indeed swift, benefiting from both the True Martial Institute and the growth of his soul.

Soul growth doesn’t merely enhance spiritual power; it impacts cultivation in various ways.

Not just prolonging visualization time but enhancing cultivation efficiency, and more vigorously absorbing the aura of the Karma Stone Wall.

Multiple factors multiplied, and the effect enhanced dramatically.

He attempted to place the flying dagger in the True Martial Institute to see if it could remotely absorb the aura from the Karma Stone Wall.

It was unfortunate that it didn’t work.

The aura of the Karma Stone Wall couldn’t leave the grotto; the grotto serves as both protection and isolation.

This means that upon leaving the Imperial City for the Phoenix Dynasty, he could no longer leverage the cultivation aid from the True Martial Institute but would have to rely on hard work.

This had a significant impact.

Fortunately, the flying dagger remained at Great Bright Peak, allowing him to visualize Great Bright Peak; the cultivation didn’t consume spiritual power, was extremely efficient, and could even nourish the spirit.

He dismissed these thoughts, contemplating the martial arts legacy within the Soul Enlightenment Pearl.

A total of six portions: four Spirit Guard and two Demon Clan, referred to as Demon Spirit Guard.

The martial arts and memories of the four Spirit Guard included a True Disciple from Profound Yin Palace, a True Disciple from Wuyou Valley, and two top sect disciples from the Phoenix Dynasty.

Chu Zhiyuan understood that the capacity of this Soul Enlightenment Pearl was also limited.

Ordinary Spirit Guard, inheriting common skills, the Great Sky Demons wouldn’t settle for encroaching on the capacity of the Soul Enlightenment Pearl.

And the two Demon Spirit Guard legacies were also top-tier legacies in the Demon Clan.

Chu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but shake his head.

No wonder the Demon Clan is strong, and the Great Sky Demons are fearsome.

With such Strange Treasures, able to discern the vulnerabilities in the martial arts of all Spirit Guards, and strike with precision, coupled with ambush, achieving success in one strike isn’t difficult.

After accepting these legacies, the excitement was not intense.

Instead, there was more heaviness.

The Demon Clan seems so terrifying.

He could only think positively to relax a bit.

Fortunately, each sect’s top legacy requires a unique magic technique, or visualization, or unique power.

Merely knowing the method of inheritance and cultivation method doesn’t mean one can truly master it.

Otherwise, the Demon Clan would be even more terrifying, nearly invincible in the world.

He patiently sorted through these memories, through which indeed he could greatly enhance insight, and broaden experiences.

Knowing how vast the world is, far more complex and splendid than Little Outer Heaven.
