Imperial Cultivation Chapter 1462 - 1458: Experiment
Previously on Imperial Cultivation...
Chu Zhiyuan said, "You lure him away, and see if it works."
Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue pondered for a moment and soon understood his meaning.
Shen Hanyue sneered, "Otherwise, I’ll go alone, I’m not afraid he won’t take the bait!"
Xiao Ruoling lightly furrowed her brows.
Shen Hanyue said, "Senior sister, I’m fine, besides, we still have the Princely Heir."
"Your husband can’t act recklessly." Xiao Ruoling gently shook her head.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
Although now he could already conceal his aura through the atmosphere of the Cloud Dragon Fist.
It’s better not to move unless necessary.
This trump card should still be hidden and only used at the critical moment.
"Isn’t there still the flying knife?" Shen Hanyue proudly took out the crystal-clear flying knife from her sleeve, "It’s no problem with its assistance!"
Chu Zhiyuan took out three more crystal-clear flying knives from his sleeve and handed them over, "With these, it should be enough."
"Couldn’t be better!" Shen Hanyue joyfully received the three flying knives.
The four crystal-clear, exquisitely beautiful flying knives lay in her palm, making her small hand appear even softer and more lustrous.
Xiao Ruoling smiled, "With these four flying knives, that’s almost enough; no matter how careful they are, they won’t surpass five people."
"Exactly, then I’m off, see you later." Shen Hanyue couldn’t wait.
"Junior sister, be careful." Xiao Ruoling said, "Don’t be careless."
"Understood, understood, I’m off." Shen Hanyue called out to Zhou Qingyu on the Martial Arts Training Ground in front of the flower garden, "Qingyu, I’m going now."
Zhou Qingyu didn’t stop moving and responded loudly, "Aunt Shen, hurry up."
"Got it."
Shen Hanyue leapt up, gliding out of the small courtyard, landing on the broad avenue outside, following it forward to the end, reaching a circular plaza about five hundred meters away.
This circular plaza was surrounded by white jade railings, beyond which was a mountain peak formed by clouds.
Below the void, through gaps in the thick clouds, the earth below looked like a chessboard, like patches of grass.
Her figure flickered and vanished without a trace.
She had already been teleported outside the sect by the array, appearing on the cloud three hundred meters away.
Beneath her appeared a silver shuttle, which emitted a gentle white light enveloping her, then shot towards the distant void.
Chu Zhiyuan saw her like this and shook his head, smiling.
Her manner of leaving, so casual and unguarded, was most likely to provoke the hidden experts from Li Huo Palace.
The middle-aged man hidden deep within the clouds, sitting cross-legged on a white jade meditation mat, squinted his eyes slightly, not rushing to chase, staying in place.
Five minutes later, he closed his eyes again, seemingly settling down, no longer moving.
No further commotion came from Profound Yin Palace.
Yet, he swiftly rose, the jade mat carrying him, transforming into a shadow shooting towards the distant void, becoming faster and eventually disappearing.
Chu Zhiyuan sighed, "The expert from Li Huo Palace is not at all reckless, just starting to pursue now."
Xiao Ruoling said, "Being so cautious, it’s probably because they’re worried about junior sister being the bait, isn’t it?"
Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Didn’t you use this tactic before? He’s learning from past mistakes."
Xiao Ruoling gently laughed.
They indeed used these tricks back then, playing the experts from Li Huo Palace in circles.
The disciples of Profound Yin Palace were always jubilant and rejoicing when the topic arose.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Next, let’s see how many people he will bring to ambush Hanyue."
Xiao Ruoling laughed, "Junior sister will be fine, right?"
She actually knew that Shen Hanyue would not be in danger, being well-protected.
Firstly, there were the four flying knives, equivalent to four top masters providing assistance, defensively impenetrable.
Secondly, he could rush over at any time, arrive instantly, as even a Spirit Venerable could not act freely, directly taking her away was not a problem.
Thirdly, he was likely using a secret technique, having seen the outcome, and foresaw the future.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "No problem, this time there’s hope to kill that fellow."
"If we can really kill him, it would be getting rid of a great menace," Xiao Ruoling said.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Li Huo Palace will surely hate her to the bone and will devise all sorts of ways to get revenge."
Xiao Ruoling lightly furrowed her brows.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "The more Li Huo Palace hates her, the more your Profound Yin Palace must protect her and value her."
"Is that actually a good thing?" Xiao Ruoling asked.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Once the palace values her, it can only be advantageous for her."
Xiao Ruoling was a bit worried, contemplating, "But on the side of Li Huo Palace..."
"That’s the price to pay," Chu Zhiyuan said, "Everything has a price."
"A price..." Xiao Ruoling slowly nodded.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Madam, come, practice this fist technique with me."
"Is there something mystical about this fist technique?" Xiao Ruoling asked.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
Xiao Ruoling tried to follow his movements, but as soon as she started moving, she immediately showed a pained expression.
Chu Zhiyuan, with his Super Sense, was always in Insight mode, noticing her anomaly and discovering the change in her body.
The True Yuan suddenly scattered, splitting into several strands and began to run wild, colliding with each other.
Her blood and energy surged, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, her eyes became bloodshot, and her internal organs were shaken.
Chu Zhiyuan hurriedly stepped forward and pressed on her back, sternly saying, "Stop!"
Xiao Ruoling had already stopped, but she was still trembling, her face instantly pale.
Chu Zhiyuan hadn’t expected his Cloud Dragon Fist to have such power.
To make her suffer such severe injuries, a Perfect Venerable couldn’t do it alone, it would even take several Perfect Venerables working together.
Chu Zhiyuan released her jade-like back, forming seals with his hands and muttering a phrase.
A strange sound drilled into Xiao Ruoling’s ears, and the chaotic True Yuan instantly calmed down, no longer irascible.
Chu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The Heavenly Prayer Jade Chapter indeed had miraculous effects on calming abnormal energy; it was effective with just one use.
Xiao Ruoling exhaled a long breath.
At this moment, Zhou Qingyu couldn’t help stopping, floating over to support Xiao Ruoling, "Mistress?"
Xiao Ruoling smiled, "It’s nothing serious."
Zhou Qingyu felt her jade-like hand slightly trembling, her body becoming heavy, vastly different from her outward lightness.
She had grown heavy and also weak.
Zhou Qingyu knew this was not right, clearly having suffered a non-light injury.
She then turned her head to look at Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan had already undone the seals with his hands, frowning in contemplation, lost in thought.
Zhou Qingyu saw this and discontentedly said, "Master!"
Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and keep practicing."
Zhou Qingyu huffed, "Mistress is so seriously injured, how can I concentrate on training!"
Chu Zhiyuan glanced at her, "Are you just trying to slack off?"
"Master–!" Zhou Qingyu huffed, "You’re so heartless."
Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.
Xiao Ruoling smiled, patting her fair small hand, shaking her head, "Qingyu, I really am fine, not so delicate."
Chu Zhiyuan glared at Zhou Qingyu.
This disciple was truly trouble; with her contrast, he seemed like a heartless person, even an ungrateful one.
As if he was uncaring, inconsiderate, unkind to his wife, just an unromantic straight man.
Xiao Ruoling laughed, "Don’t glare at her, Qingyu is also worried about me."
Chu Zhiyuan said irritably, "Seems like only she cares about you."
Zhou Qingyu pouted her cherry-red lips.
"Qingyu’s experiences are different from ours," Xiao Ruoling smiled, "Husband, what happened to me?"
Zhou Qingyu’s view of love is that a husband should cautiously cherish his wife, should be as gentle as water.
Little did she know, her husband’s tenderness was hidden in his heart, and wouldn’t manifest as Zhou Qingyu imagined.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "This path won’t work; there’s no shortcut."
He wanted Xiao Ruoling to try practicing Cloud Dragon Fist directly, to thereby condense abnormal energy.
Perhaps, if she mastered it, and then practiced the original mental method, she could easily advance to Entering Spirit.
