Imperial Cultivation Chapter 1455 - 1451: Verification

Chu Zhiyuan started to laugh.

"Junior Brother, why are you laughing?"

"How would the Palace Master think upon hearing this?"

"The Palace Master wouldn’t admonish me, as you, Junior Brother, are not an outsider... There are some things that the Palace Master cannot agree to because of palace regulations."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile: "I understand, even though I’m close to all of you, after all, I’m not a disciple of Guanghan Palace."

"It’s a pity not to be able to view the Divine Text Secret Manual."

The Divine Language has already become extinct, and mastering it grants a unique advantage.

Without access to the Divine Text Secret Manual, the advantage can’t be fully utilized.

Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Gaining this fist technique is already a worthy outcome of that encounter; one should not be overly greedy."

The Divine Language doesn’t just pertain to browsing manuscripts, there are many applications that can be developed.

Especially when combined with the Donghuan Saint Technique, the Divine Language can reveal greater uses.

"I just feel it’s too unfortunate, the Palace Master says there are almost no Divine Text Secret Manuals left in this world."

"Hmm—?"

"The Palace Master says that as the Divine Race vanished, the Divine Text Secret Manuals disappeared with them."

"Why?"

"This relates to forces in the unseen, forces that cannot be explained."

"I understand." Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly, lost in thought.

The force he currently perceives also cannot be put into words, it is inexpressible and unexplainable.

Only sensing it is possible, no words can describe it.

"This residual chart remains because it is already severely damaged."

"So, there still exist Divine Text Secret Manuals in the world."

"But they’re all incomplete, they’re useless."

Being incomplete, and being in the Divine Language, can such manuals be carefully preserved instead of being directly put aside, or even abandoned?

Chu Zhiyuan paced with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Lu tilted her head and asked, "Junior Brother, are you trying to collect these incomplete Divine Text Secret Manuals?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Xiao Lu said, "You can understand these fragments, surely there’s something to gain, right?... Maybe it’ll be similar to this fist technique."

If a fragmented fist technique can be practiced into such a powerful technique, who knows if other fragmented manuals can’t be practiced?

"Elder Sister, no one is a fool." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "It’s easy to guess."

"Hmm, it would expose your knowledge of the Divine Language,... What other good method is there?"

Xiao Lu furrowed her brow, pondering deeply.

Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "This fist technique is already sufficient for training, having too much can lead to clumsiness."

Xiao Lu said, "With the talent you possess, Junior Brother, you’ll quickly master this one fist technique. Will you be satisfied with just one technique? The truly powerful ones require swordsmanship, right?"

"Let’s deal with that when the time comes."

"Prepare in advance, otherwise it will waste time when the time comes."

"Elder Sister, I believe in my luck."

"... Indeed." Xiao Lu laughed, shaking her head in admiration: "Your luck is indeed exceedingly good."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

His good luck was not purely based on luck, but a deep sense of intuition.

An intuition predicting fortunes and misfortunes, making it appear as if his luck is astonishing.

...

Chu Zhiyuan paced the halls of the Heaven-Reaching Sect with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Ji Yuan and Ning Dongge sat nearby, occasionally glancing at him, then exchanging looks.

They knew that Chu Zhiyuan was facing a difficult problem.

To make this young Junior Brother think so hard, it wouldn’t be a trivial problem.

Zhang Ji Yuan couldn’t help but pat his knee on the cushion: "Little Junior Brother, why not tell us what’s troubling you, perhaps our ramblings might provide some inspiration."

Ning Dongge nodded: "Little Junior Brother, if there’s anything bothering you, let’s discuss it together. Don’t carry all troubles by yourself."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Senior Brother Ning, Brother Zhang, it’s about martial arts."

"The matter of the Inheritance Hall?" Zhang Ji Yuan said: "That can’t be rushed."

Ning Dongge said: "Is Little Junior Brother troubled by the lack of Spirit Venerable Martial Arts, unable to quickly advance your realm?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "That’s not the problem."

Zhang Ji Yuan asked: "Then what is the issue?"

"I obtained a Divine Clan Martial Arts fragment from Guanghan Palace and learned a fist technique, and I’m contemplating this fist technique."

Zhang Ji Yuan was amazed: "Guanghan Palace actually has Divine Clan Martial Arts?"

"Hmm," Ning Dongge stated, "I’ve heard that the foundation of Guanghan Palace is extremely deep, rumored to be from the Divine Race’s descendants."

Zhang Ji Yuan marveled.

Ning Dongge said: "Little Junior Brother, is there something wrong with this fist technique?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I’m considering who to test my fist technique with."

"With Grandmaster Wang," Zhang Ji Yuan said: "Why hesitate?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "Grandmaster Wang is in seclusion."

Wang Miaoqiao, after feeling a setback, changed his formerly lazy attitude, and once again began diligent cultivation, entering seclusion.

Now is not a suitable time to disturb him.

Zhang Ji Yuan remarked: "Grandmaster Wang has already become a Spirit Venerable, why does he need seclusion?"

A Spirit Venerable has an endless amount of time, slowly cultivating is enough.

One usually works hard when entering Spirit Venerable, feeling the realm is too low, being too weak among Spirit Venerables.

At Grandmaster Wang’s realm, it’s actually safe enough, there’s no need to train relentlessly.

If one continues to train fiercely after achieving Spirit Venerable, then the title of Spirit Venerable was achieved in vain?

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head: "Brother Zhang, regardless of the realm, diligent training is required."

Ning Dongge said: "Brother Zhang always thinks there’ll be a day we won’t need to train, such wishful thinking."

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, shaking his head.

He pondered how to verify his thoughts with another Spirit Venerable.

To test whether he could conceal his Spirit Venerable aura.

The aura from Cloud Dragon Fist can repel Spiritual Essence, is it capable of hiding his presence?

This requires verification, one cannot simply assume.

Would his Spiritual Essence be detectable by a Spirit Venerable, once repelled?

This posed a question that couldn’t be easily answered.

Even if a Spirit Venerable can’t sense his Spiritual Essence, could they detect the aura from his Cloud Dragon Fist?

The current options abound: choosing a Spirit Venerable from Profound Yin Palace or from Li Huo Palace.

Getting a Spirit Venerable from Profound Yin Palace is safer, posing no major risks.

However, it wouldn’t test the ability to hide one’s aura in an extreme killing intent.

A Spirit Venerable from Li Huo Palace could test this, but it would be too dangerous.

He shook his head, sighing deeply.

The root issue was still insufficient cultivation realm, leading to indecision.

He clenched his teeth, ultimately deciding to try at the Profound Yin Palace first.

To see if the Spirit Venerables of the Profound Yin Skill can sense his existence.

He cupped his hands: "Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Ning, I’m taking my leave."

Zhang Ji Yuan asked: "Little Junior Brother, have you decided?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Zhang Ji Yuan smiled: "Speaking with us proved useful, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile, waved his hand, and vanished.

Next moment, he appeared in his small courtyard at the Profound Yin Palace.

Immediately, he saw two Spirit Venerables of Profound Yin Palace.

They stood out like blazing torches in the night, impossible to ignore.

He utilized Super Sensing Illumination on himself, all Spiritual Essence was expelled, leaving only peculiar aura flowing around.

This peculiar aura, unless existing within oneself, was difficult to detect and discern.

The technique of concealing aura was facilitated by Super Sensing Illumination, making him merge into the Void.

He floated gracefully, using the peculiar aura to perform Qinggong, as if his body turned light, gliding like a gentle breeze.

While operating, he continued with Insight, suddenly realizing the aura formed by swordsmanship differed.

Their commonality was repelling Spiritual Essence, but swordsmanship aura wasn’t as light.

He landed lightly, drew out a bamboo branch from the Lao Gong Acupoint, swinging it gently several times, striking a stone.

A common blue stone post by the roadside.

Under Super Sensing Illumination, the manner of this stone breaking differed from the aura formed by swordsmanship.
