Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1112: Chapter 1108: A Heavy Responsibility

At this moment, Lu Wanshan stood with hands behind his back at the highest point of Heavenly Sword Peak.

Beside him stood Zhou Chongming and twelve others.

They gazed at the distant mountain ranges, their eyes flickering with a cold glint.

Zhou Chongming said, ”Senior Brother, should we not send someone to follow secretly?”

Lu Wanshan smiled.

Zhou Chongming said, ”The news has likely leaked. He will undoubtedly face ambushes on his journey, and there might even be Great Demons making a move.”

Lu Wanshan nodded.

Demons are not fools; some are even more cunning than humans.

Meng Xusheng said, ”With the Jade Heaven Sword, Great Demons dare not act, and below them, none can withstand the Demon Suppressing Saber.”

”But there are too many demons,” Zhou Chongming said. ”Constantly wearing him down until he can no longer wield the Demon Suppressing Saber.”

Meng Xusheng laughed, ”He’s carrying a Spirit Pill, and we’re not far from Guanghan Palace. He can hold his ground.”

Zhou Chongming sighed, ”I’m still worried. We should send someone to follow, maybe I should go myself.”

”Junior Brother Zhou, please don’t,” Meng Xusheng laughed. ”Lest he has to save you instead.”

Zhou Chongming snorted, ”Last time, he had Miss Lu from Guanghan Palace with him, her Qinggong was astonishing. This time, he’s on his own.”

Meng Xusheng chuckled, ”Junior Brother Zhou, have you not seen his Qinggong now?”

”What, is his Qinggong very powerful?”

”He’s not only a genius in cultivating the Heavenly Sword Secret Scripture but also a genius in Qinggong,” Meng Xusheng remarked. ”He’s much faster than us, comparable to Miss Lu.”

”Is he this formidable?” Zhou Chongming asked in surprise, glancing at Lu Wanshan.

Lu Wanshan nodded, ”Without such Qinggong, he couldn’t be sent as a messenger.”

”Our Heavenly Sword Sect’s luck has arrived!”

Zhou Chongming exclaimed.

Who could have predicted that such a talent would ascend from Little Outer Heaven.

Truly an unprecedented genius.

This time, the Qinglian Sea expedition, without Chu Zhiyuan, the Heavenly Sword Sect would surely be disgraced, even suffering heavy losses.

The merits of Chu Zhiyuan could not be fully reflected through achievements alone.

However, because Chu Zhiyuan just joined the Heavenly Sword Sect, it was not appropriate to reward him heavily, so it was withheld.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been granted the Jade Heaven Sword.

There are many Little Heavenly Swords, but only one Jade Heaven Sword.

Of course, having the Jade Heaven Sword is even better than Elders protecting secretly.

Furthermore, with his astounding Qinggong, it ensures he won’t fall midway.

Lu Wanshan said, ”Let’s not say too much now, as the days ahead are long, and changes are too many.”

”Understood.” Zhou Chongming nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan’s current cultivation level is not high enough, making accidents too easy to happen, so it’s not suitable to propagate, attracting envy.

Meng Xusheng was puzzled, ”Then why did Senior Brother let him go down the mountain?”

The best thing now is to hide Chu Zhiyuan, protect him, allow him to cultivate well, avoiding open and covert arrows.

Lu Wanshan said, ”His cultivation method is unique; the more demons he slays, the faster he cultivates.”

”Is it because of this?”

”Due to the Demon Suppressing Saber?”

”...Demon Suppressing Saber, Black Dragon Blood... so he took the Black Dragon Blood without any side effects?”

Zhou Chongming pondered, becoming more excited as he spoke, ”Is slaying demons his best cultivation method?”

”Yes.” Lu Wanshan nodded, ”The Demon Suppressing Saber is infinitely mysterious.”

”About the Demon Suppressing Saber...” Meng Xusheng hesitated, his eyes burning.

Compared to the cultivation secret techniques of the Heavenly Sword Secret Scripture, the power of the Demon Suppressing Saber is even more astonishing.

If the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect could cultivate it, imagine how astonishing that would be!

It could potentially wipe out all the demons in the world!

Lu Wanshan shook his head, ”The Demon Suppressing Saber requires special unique items for practice; its true power isn’t a mental method, but those unique items, which have been used up by him, making it difficult to cultivate again.”

”It couldn’t be that he...” Meng Xusheng hesitated.

Lu Wanshan smiled slightly, ”If he didn’t want to pass it on, he would have said so straightforwardly, wouldn’t be so tactful, after all, there’s no need for him to pass it on, just like this cultivation secret technique, there’s no need to pass it on.”

Heavenly Sword Sect disciples often encounter fortuitous events, and after obtaining a Miracle Technique, it becomes their unique advantage, and they’re not required to hand it over to the sect.

A Miracle Technique like the Demon Suppressing Saber naturally doesn’t need to be shared with the Sect.

But given Chu Zhiyuan’s vision, he might want to pass it on to the other disciples within the sect to enhance the strength of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The stronger the Heavenly Sword Sect becomes, the greater the benefit for him as a member, and his stance would be stronger.

”I was too greedy,” Meng Xusheng said with an embarrassed smile. ”The Demon Suppressing Saber is indeed too powerful.”

Zhou Chongming said, ”He is exceptionally talented, leaving aside other things, can you divide your mind into ten paths?”

Meng Xusheng shook his head.

Zhou Chongming said, ”Even if we had the mental method of the Demon Suppressing Saber, we couldn’t cultivate it.”

”It’s a pity my cultivation isn’t high enough,” Meng Xusheng sighed, ”Will this siege of Qinglian Sea really take place?”

Lu Wanshan said, ”Guiyang Sword Sect and Fuyun Sect shouldn’t be a problem, the toughest is Guanghan Palace.”

Zhou Chongming agreed, ”Guiyang Sword Sect and Fuyun Sect are eager to wipe out Qinglian Sea today, whereas Guanghan Palace is indifferent and couldn’t care less.”

Meng Xusheng said, ”Since they sent experts over this time, there should be hope, right?”

Zhou Chongming shook his head, ”That was because the Sect Leader personally requested, and they couldn’t refuse, but this siege of Qinglian Sea is different.”

In life-and-death situations, dispatching a team of experts to rescue is hard to refuse.

No one can predict whether Guanghan Palace might encounter such a situation.

But gathering experts from the Four Great Sects to jointly besiege Qinglian Sea, Guanghan Palace might not agree.

Because Guanghan Palace has always been reluctant to act together, preferring to act alone.

Zhou Chongming said, ”Senior Brother, Chu Nephew has a good relationship with Guanghan Palace, but this matter is crucial, if he goes, it might not help, right?”

”It’s a desperate measure,” Lu Wanshan said helplessly, ”We can only try it.”

”It’s difficult,” Meng Xusheng shook his head.

It seems unreliable just to think of it.

Guanghan Palace isn’t easy to persuade, especially a man trying to change their mind is even harder.

...

Chu Zhiyuan drifted along, his feet like riding the wind.

He was using the Wind Riding Cloud Technique, which was integrated with the Earth Origin Technique.

It seemed as if he had cultivated the Wind Riding Cloud Technique to an extraordinary level, concealing the presence of the Earth Origin Technique.

He was incredibly fast, covering more than thirty miles in the blink of an eye.

As he passed above a forest, ten clear shadows flew from his sleeve.

Ten Flying Knives suddenly dived into the forest below.

These Flying Knives were either swift as lightning or elusive as smoke, and in the end, all transformed into surging Golden Flames.

Twenty-six demons lurking.

They watched as Chu Zhiyuan approached, about to make a move, but the Flying Knives attacked them first.

”Ah!”

”Ah—!”

Miserable screams shattered the forest’s tranquility.

One by one, the demons were annihilated, and clusters of Golden Light appeared in the Demon Suppression Divine Palace.

Chu Zhiyuan’s lips curled, unable to contain himself.

In this stretch of several tens of miles, it was already two waves of demons.

Such densely packed demons!

This journey to Guanghan Palace, can it directly accumulate enough Merit to open his ancestral acupoint and master the Heavenly Yuan Technique?

Once the Heavenly Yuan Technique is mastered, the cultivation speed of his Heavenly Sword Secret Scripture would increase several times.

If the current number of demons persists, there is indeed great hope.

Leopard Demon, Mouse Demon, Tiger Demon...

Various demons perished under the Flying Knife, vanishing in the Golden Flames.

They charged at him madly, as if he were their sworn enemy.

Chu Zhiyuan found it strange.

Having killed so many demons, he already had a vague understanding of them.

Demons prioritize survival above all and don’t care for human virtues like face or courage.

Once they realize they are outmatched, unless there’s a Great Demon commanding, or they’re naturally bloodthirsty and hot-blooded, they’d otherwise immediately flee for their lives.

Could it be that a Great Demon is lurking around?

Thinking of this, he placed his hand on the Jade Heaven Sword.

An astounding momentum gradually spread, causing the desperate demons to retreat in shock and flee for their lives.

But the Flying Knives didn’t let them off, and once more, clusters of Golden Flames surged.

His form didn’t stop, nor did it slow down, steadily drifting away.

The twenty-six demons in the forest below had already vanished without a trace, as if they had never appeared.
