Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 800: Chapter 796: Heart Moon

Li Yuzhen exclaimed in surprise, ”Is this the Moon Silkworm Frost Robe?”

Fu Zheng asked curiously, ”Sister Li, what’s the origin of this Moon Silkworm Frost Robe?”

Li Yuzhen replied, ”It’s said that this Moon Silkworm Frost Robe was woven by a Spirit Venerable.”

”Spirit Venerable?” Fu Zheng admired.

Li Yuzhen nodded, ”A Spirit Venerable used the feathers of a Strange Beast from the Demon Clan, the Moon Silkworm Crane, to weave this robe.”

”Moon Silkworm Crane... it seems I’ve never heard of it.”

”It’s a Strange Beast unknown to people, impervious to blades or spears, and resistant to water and fire.”

”Such a Strange Beast exists?”

”The Moon Silkworm Crane does not appear before people, has a long lifespan, roams leisurely between heaven and earth, and it’s impossible to encounter it if you’re not a Spirit Venerable.”

”No wonder... So this Moon Silkworm Frost Robe is also impervious to blades or spears, and resistant to water and fire?”

”Correct.”

”Sizzle!” Suddenly, a light flickered at Fu Zheng’s waist, and a flash of electricity shot towards the Moon Silkworm Frost Robe.

Chu Zhiyuan reached out a hand, wrapping the robe around his left palm to meet the sword’s tip.

The sword’s tip pressed onto the robe, sinking slightly, then stopped.

The sword’s tip couldn’t pierce through.

”Indeed, impervious to blades or spears.” Fu Zheng retracted her sword.

This sword strike was already a full-powered attack.

However, the Moon Silkworm Frost Robe didn’t contain True Yuan, it was purely due to its strength.

The sword’s tip indeed couldn’t penetrate the Moon Silkworm Frost Robe, a very strange sensation.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”This is nice.”

One layer of Moon Silkworm Frost Robe, along with another layer of Frost Robe, increases the defense greatly.

Li Yuzhen laughed, ”A gift from the Emperor, how could it be ordinary?”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Compared to his own father, this Phoenix Dynasty’s Emperor was much more generous.

He then opened the Jade Bottle, indeed finding a Phoenix Nirvana Pill inside.

If it weren’t for the one Li Miaotan had given him before, he wouldn’t recognize it now.

He then opened the Flying Knife Technique manual.

”Heart Moon Saber Technique.” Chu Zhiyuan lightly whispered, ”Heart Moon Saber Technique...”

He had truly never heard of this Saber Technique.

Li Yuzhen glanced at Li Miaotan.

Li Miaotan gently shook her head.

Obviously, she also hadn’t heard of this Saber Technique, the key being that no one practiced Flying Knife.

Chu Zhiyuan began to browse through it, six pages in total, which he finished quickly.

He closed his eyes, contemplating the profound subtleties of the Saber Technique, a smile emerging on his lips.

Li Yuzhen laughed, ”It seems the Prince Consort likes this Saber Technique.”

”I like it.” Chu Zhiyuan marveled, ”Thanks to the Emperor.”

This Heart Moon Saber Technique was extremely compatible with him, and most importantly, it relied on spiritual power.

Using spiritual power to establish a connection with the Flying Knife, it was the true Sword Control Technique.

He tucked the Sword Technique Secret Manual into his bosom and then opened the Swordsmanship Secret Manual.

It was a copy, but copies from the Imperial Palace couldn’t be underestimated.

After browsing through the twelve pages of the Swordsmanship Secret Manual, he handed it over to Fu Zheng.

Fu Zheng was momentarily stunned.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”I don’t have time for sword training recently, you practice it first.”

”But...” Fu Zheng looked at Li Miaotan.

Li Miaotan said, ”Feel free to dispose of it, there’s no harm in passing it to Miss Fu.”

Fu Zheng gently nodded, taking the Secret Manual.

It was inscribed with four large characters in gold and silver: ”Chang Chun Sword Technique.”

Her bright eyes flickered as she slowly browsed through it, her eyes ultimately sparkling with excitement, ”Wonderful Swordsmanship!”

Could this be her fortuitous encounter?

This set of Swordsmanship was remarkably aligned with the two sets she practiced, having some compatibility.

The Green Bamboo Sword Technique, the Blue Bamboo Sword Technique, and this Chang Chun Sword Technique all contained the essence of bamboo.

New Swordsmanship didn’t need to be contemplated and comprehended from scratch; it could quickly progress on the foundation of the first two.

”Sigh—!” Chu Zhiyuan sighed, ”The Emperor is wise indeed.”

He didn’t believe this was a coincidence.

Clearly, while he was probing the news from Phoenix Imperial City, the Phoenix Dynasty’s Emperor had also figured out his situation.

He even guessed why he asked for a set of Swordsmanship, deducing it was for Fu Zheng.

And he also understood the Swordsmanship Fu Zheng had previously been cultivating.

This subtle means, could be described as a Thunder Shock hidden in silence.

If one were careless, they wouldn’t understand the implications beneath it.

Those who could see through its profoundness would naturally be secretly astonished.

Li Miaotan laughed, ”Does this Sword Technique suit you?”

Chu Zhiyuan responded, ”Couldn’t be better.”

Fu Zheng added, ”It’s the best Swordsmanship for me!”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”This First Grade Sword Technique isn’t so easy to comprehend; the Chang Chun Sword Technique requires comprehending not just green bamboo, but also other plants.”

”Yes.” Fu Zheng replied solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”In your free time, go explore the woods outside the city; it will benefit your comprehension of the Sword Technique.”

”Yes.” Fu Zheng nodded.

Li Miaotan then inquired about how he dealt with the Demon Clan and eliminated them.

Chu Zhiyuan recounted the events, leaving Li Miaotan in awe.

She wished she could take action herself, rather than remain trapped bedridden.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”I always thought that the Demon Clan and the Demon Realm seldom invaded our territory, but now I find the truth is the opposite.”

Li Miaotan said, ”Generally, they don’t like coming here, but if something happens, they’ll come without hesitation.”

”Can’t we prevent it?”

”They enter through the borders into the Outer Realm Battlefield, and then from the Outer Realm Battlefield into our territory, making it impossible to guard against.”

”Can’t it be prevented?” Fu Zheng inquired.

Li Yuzhen said, ”The Outer Realm Battlefield is located in the extreme south, and the Tan Nan Mountain Range is like a natural barrier. Once they cross the Tan Nan, they reach the Outer Realm Battlefield, and from the Outer Realm Battlefield, they just have to cross Tan Nan Mountain Range. With the mountain range stretching over a thousand miles, how can you defend it?”

”Are there no masters guarding the Tan Nan Mountain Range?” Fu Zheng asked.

Li Yuzhen shook his head, ”There are some masters, but it’s impossible to guard over a thousand miles entirely, only some critical points can be defended, which is better than nothing.”

Chu Zhiyuan furrowed his brows, pondering.

The Outer Realm Battlefield is a very mysterious existence, it doesn’t count as this world nor as a Grotto Heaven.

It is a place that exists between reality and void, connecting the Three Realms.

The Demon World, the Demon Realm, and the Human World.

Fu Zheng was dissatisfied, ”So we just let these Demon Clan masters rampage in?”

Li Yuzhen said, ”Actually, the Demon Clan intruding in is more detrimental to them.”

”Hmm—?” Fu Zheng looked puzzled.

Li Yuzhen explained, ”Once they come here, they can’t absorb the Demon Realm’s power to strengthen themselves; their power is restricted.”

Fu Zheng said, ”But isn’t their power internal, so the impact should be minor, right?”

”The Demon Crystal can accommodate endless power, but they are limited by time and aptitude; their accumulated power is finite, unable to sustain them for long. Many Demon Clan masters would likely only have enough for one battle before becoming incapable of further combat.”

”No wonder...” Chu Zhiyuan remarked.

Fu Zheng was also surprised, ”No wonder they became pushovers; it’s because of this.”

”What about the Demon Clan masters?” Chu Zhiyuan asked.

Currently, he was most concerned about the Demon Clan masters’ assassinations.

He wasn’t afraid of being assassinated himself, but didn’t want to endanger those around him.

So, preparations had to be made.

”Here is far from the Demon Abyss, the Demon Clan masters are even weaker than the Demon Clan; their power is only a single blow.” Li Yuzhen snorted, ”Unless they deploy those heavenly demons who have body-seized.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”There are Demon Clan members sneaking into the city, ready to assassinate me.”

The Demon Clan couldn’t enter the city, but the Demon Clan could sneak in.

Li Yuzhen’s spirits lifted.

Fu Zheng’s eyes also shone brightly.

Li Miaotan lightly frowned.

Li Yuzhen said, ”Finally, they came! ... Heavenly Demons are really hard to guard against.”

Though she said it’s hard to defend against, she seemed not worried at all, rather excited.

Because she knew that Chu Zhiyuan’s sensitivity to the Demon Clan was extremely keen, they couldn’t fool him.

Li Miaotan asked, ”It won’t be a problem, right?”

Chu Zhiyuan grinned, ”Been waiting for them!”

Finally, he could enhance his soul and spirit.
