Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1069: Chapter 1065: Soaring Swan

”Is your injury okay?” Hu Yuni looked at his chest.

Several finger marks had struck him.

Given the strength of that finger force, he should be heavily injured.

But looking at him now, after spitting blood earlier, it was as if nothing had happened.

”It’s nothing serious.”

Indeed, Leng Tieya wasn’t much hurt.

Coming to the Demon Realm, his Realm was suppressed, and the power of the Great Sky Demon could only be exerted partially, equivalent to a Heavenly Demon.

However, this was only because Demon Yuan outside his body was weakened by the Demon Realm, the purity of it within him wasn’t affected.

That finger force was strong, but since it lacked the necessary Realm, the damage to him was negligible.

Spitting blood was already the maximum extent of his performance.

Opening the bag, he poured out a corpse, the smell of blood immediately dispersed.

Hu Yuni inspected the head without changing her expression, shook her head: ”The Body Seizing Technique, truly strange.”

Leng Tieya said, ”This is once again the Body Seizing by a Supreme Heavenly Demon, whose finger technique is amazing. Who is it?”

Hu Yuni frowned and pondered: ”I’ve heard of a Supreme Heavenly Demon who cultivated the Startled Swan Divine Finger, a lost finger technique, from thirty thousand years ago.”

”Thirty thousand years ago...”

Leng Tieya showed a thoughtful expression.

Affected by Chu Zhiyuan’s past life, he always hadn’t a clear concept of time.

After all, in past human history, three to five thousand years was rare, hard to have a clear concept of ten thousand years.

Even after accepting the memories of the Great Sky Demon and Supreme Heavenly Demon, he still couldn’t completely adjust.

Thirty thousand years, truly unreachable, but in Hu Yuni’s mouth, it seemed like thirty years.

Hu Yuni said: ”Among the Supreme Heavenly Demons I’ve heard of, only this one fits.”

”Then it must be him.” Leng Tieya sighed: ”Even a Supreme Heavenly Demon from thirty thousand years ago can resurrect... I suspect, those fallen or vanished Supreme Heavenly Demons might all have resurrected.”

”...Can Supreme Heavenly Demons be like the Great Sky Demons?” Hu Yuni lightly furrowed her brows.

Leng Tieya was taken aback.

Hu Yuni said: ”If they all resurrected, it’s impossible there wouldn’t be any news. With the cultivation experience of a Supreme Heavenly Demon, how could they idle away?”

Leng Tieya said: ”Is there a possibility that after Body Seizing, cultivation is hindered, constrained by the original body’s limitations?”

Hu Yuni said: ”Then wouldn’t they find a talented body for the Body Seizing?”

Leng Tieya pondered: ”The talented ones either join renowned sects, or are hard to seize.”

Hu Yuni lightly furrowed her brows: ”Brother Miao’s talent is excellent, and if not for the Heavenly Star Stone, he probably would have been seized.”

”Hmm...” Leng Tieya slowly nodded.

Hu Yuni said: ”The matter of Supreme Heavenly Demons may just be beginning.”

”Is there a change in the world?” Leng Tieya looked up to the sky.

Hu Yuni said: ”There might be... a storm is brewing.”

Leng Tieya slowly nodded.

Leng Tieya had always been using Insight on the corpse before him, searching for its relics.

He finally concluded that the relic was a finger, the left index finger.

The middle-aged man before had repeatedly flicked his fingers, with alarming power, using precisely this left index finger.

His entire body was clearly illuminated, except for this finger which was obscured, unable to be seen.

Leng Tieya slowly said: ”Miss Hu, I have a request.”

Hu Yuni lightly furrowed her brows and looked at him: ”You want the relic?”

Leng Tieya nodded.

Many events before, including self-mutilation and sacrificing to protect, were all for this moment.

Hu Yuni stared at him intently, her bright eyes seeming to see through him.

Leng Tieya said: ”I think, rather than letting Star-picking Cliff research it, I might as well research it myself.”

Hu Yuni snorted: ”Last time Elder Lu and the others were careless.”

Leng Tieya shook his head: ”If it were me, it wouldn’t be the same result.”

Hu Yuni gave him a sideways glance: ”Do you think you’re stronger than our elders?”

”The elders of Star-picking Cliff are formidable, but the fact is they messed up.” Leng Tieya said: ”Originally, it could have been avoided.”

”You can say that now, but if it had been you back then, it’s not certain you wouldn’t have messed up.”

”No, entrust me with the relic.”

”How will you study it?” Hu Yuni said: ”Use it to find others?”

Leng Tieya slowly nodded: ”I can give it a try, or course, using your relic to find others might work too.”

”...Fine, take it.” Hu Yuni snorted: ”But this matter must remain secret, only you and I know.”

Leng Tieya frowned.

Hu Yuni said irritably: ”If the Cliff knows, there’ll be gossip.”

She’s not afraid of the sect elders blaming her, but worries her peers would say she’s become infatuated.

Leng Tieya said: ”I’ve made so many contributions, I can’t exchange it for one relic? Just say it’s a reward for my merits, there’s no need to mention anything else.”

Hu Yuni said: ”Truly want it that way?”

Leng Tieya slowly nodded.

Hu Yuni sidelong glanced at him: ”Do you think the Cliff can’t offer you good things to win you over?”

Leng Tieya smiled and nodded.

Hu Yuni snorted: ”I can’t push this anymore, but the Cliff has been considering how to reward you.”

”Nothing more than some Spirit Pills or Treasures?” Leng Tieya said: ”That’s not what I lack.”

”You want a mental method inheritance.” Hu Yuni lightly shook her head: ”The ones in the Cliff can’t be passed to you, those outside either don’t interest you, or you can’t practice them, like the Dragon Taming Technique.”

Leng Tieya smiled: ”It truly is difficult for your sect, I’d rather practice my own mental method, not being greedy or demanding.”

Hu Yuni sighed.

This is indeed a difficult matter, the Cliff hides some top-tier mental methods, but doesn’t want to bring them out.

Those that are taken out often have fearsome reputations but can’t be cultivated, having overly strict requirements.

So she’s a bit helpless, but won’t be disgruntled with the Cliff for Leng Tieya’s sake.

Leng Tieya cut off his right hand’s middle finger, buried it in the earth and even erected a tombstone for it.

...

”Shall we continue the pursuit?” He moved his gaze from the carved tombstone, looking at Hu Yuni.

Hu Yuni opened the silver box and handed it to him.

Leng Tieya closed his eyes, moments later opened them, his eyes were bright and scorching: ”I truly felt it!”

”Then let’s go.”

”This time, it might be farther.”

”No matter.” Hu Yuni said: ”I’ve already mentioned.”

So they headed east.

...

Chu Zhiyuan stepped forward, arriving at the front of the tomb, lightly stomped his foot.

Immediately the soil surged like a stream, pushing out a body, exactly the headless corpse.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his hands together to form a Sealing, directly activating the Great Demon Suppressing Seal.

A Golden Light condensed in midair.

Vaguely in the Void appeared a giant tree, its body hazy as if shrouded in moonlight.

A beam of moonlight descended, collided with the Golden Light, merging to transform into a clear light.

Bright as a pool of autumn water, enveloping the corpse.

Moments later, a soft Seven-Colored Light floated out from the corpse, falling into his brow.

He stomped his foot.

The ground soil surged again, pushing the corpse back into the ground.

The tomb returned to normal.

He stepped forward, and disappeared without a trace.

The next moment appeared in the Demon Suppression Divine Palace, closed his eyes unmoving.

Through the refining of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree and Great Demon Suppressing Seal, the ball of Seven-Colored Light was purified and flawless, devoid of emotions and dark miscellaneous thoughts, leaving only memories.

He seemed to relive Lu Yongnian’s entire life from a transcendent perspective.

The strange life of a Supreme Heavenly Demon.

When he opened his eyes, the weariness in his gaze was once again overwhelming.

”Alas...”

He let out a long sigh.

This Lu Yongnian’s life was truly an indomitable one, unceasing in struggle and constant ascent.

Both admirable and lamentable, feeling ashamed in comparison.

And the will contained in the Seven-Colored Light unconsciously influenced him.

Meanwhile, the Startled Swan Divine Finger cultivated by Lu Yongnian was truly astounding in power.

He was more focused on the will.

It turns out, it didn’t need gathering the entire will of a Supreme Heavenly Demon.

The current situation is the same.

The will of every Supreme Heavenly Demon is actually connected!
