Imperial Cultivation Chapter 1484 - 1480: Deduction

At this moment, he calmed his mind and observed little by little, explored little by little through the Donghuan Saint Technique.

The origin of the Strange Insect Jade Pendant can be traced back to the time of the Divine Race.

The Strange Insect Jade Pendant captures the essence of a strange insect, sealed within it with a special method, giving it its current wondrous use.

Through this jade pendant, he clearly saw how the divine race man made it.

Unfortunately, he could only see the technique of that divine race man but not the fundamental mental method.

He got its form, but not its essence, unable to master this technique.

The jade pendant eventually wandered through time and was finally left in a cave mansion, found by a disciple of Forget Sorrow Valley.

The disciple of Forget Sorrow Valley did not know its wonders, thought it was extraordinary, but did not know what was unusual about it, and thus offered it to the master ancestor.

At that time, when he saw here, the scene became blurry.

At this moment, he calmed his mind and didn’t rush ahead, focusing on this blurry scene.

One time unclear, two times still unclear, several times all unclear.

But he remained unhurried, observing again and again.

The Heavenly Yuan Technique was pushed to the extreme, continuously burning spiritual power, constantly focusing on this segment of the scene.

Everything began to gradually become clear.

The scene of presenting the jade pendant had already been replayed for him hundreds of times.

Finally, there was a breakthrough.

He could see clearly the hand that took the jade pendant.

Slender, symmetric, with icy skin and bone.

Looking again at the wrist, it was smooth, round, and gentle.

His heart and spirit trembled.

There was a bold guess: Song Wantao is a woman!

Then observing Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue’s future, he found the future had changed.

It was not surprising that they were ambushed by experts from Li Huo Palace, after all, there were those two earlier events, Li Huo Palace would certainly retaliate.

But this time was different, it was a deadly ambush, they almost lost their lives.

Even with his flying knife and jade pendant, they almost lost their lives, which showed the power of those four experts from Li Huo Palace.

It’s not that their cultivation was very powerful, but that their spiritual artifact was powerful.

There are not many in the world that can suppress his flying knife and break through his jade pendant’s defense.

He saw the appearance of this spiritual artifact; it was a small sword, burning with purple flames.

When it flew, it was like a purple lightning, with astonishing power.

Under the joint urging of the four people, it was fast as lightning, instantly breaking through the jade pendant’s defense.

All twelve flying knives had just taken off when it had already reached Shen Hanyue’s chest.

The flying knife barely blocked it, couldn’t hold it, Shen Hanyue was stabbed in the shoulder, and then he appeared.

When he saw this, his heart was inwardly alarmed.

This Purple Sword’s power was indeed startling, so why wasn’t it used previously?

When Li Huo Palace was in a precarious situation, in dire straits, they actually didn’t use this spiritual artifact.

"Do you know Li Huo Palace has a spiritual artifact, such a long small sword, burning with purple flames..."

"...Never heard of it."

"Never seen it."

The two women shook their heads.

"Paper and pen." Chu Zhiyuan said.

Shen Hanyue lightly entered the room, fetched paper and pen, and spread it on the stone table.

Chu Zhiyuan quickly drew four portraits.

The two women scrutinized these four middle-aged men, frowned, and pondered, but ultimately shook their heads.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly said, "Eh."

The two women curiously looked at him.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I’ll go out for a bit."

"Princely Heir, can we go?" Shen Hanyue quickly said.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I’ll be back in no time."

He disappeared in a flash without a trace.

Shen Hanyue felt restless: "What’s going on?"

Xiao Ruoling was examining the four paintings.

Shen Hanyue said, "Senior Sister, don’t you feel curious at all?"

"The things we should know, husband will tell us." Xiao Ruoling said: "These four are very unfamiliar, they haven’t seemingly appeared outside of our Profound Yin Palace."

"Hmm, they haven’t appeared," Shen Hanyue absentmindedly said: "Even if we met once, we would remember."

"Isn’t it strange?" Xiao Ruoling said: "Li Huo Palace sent quite a few experts at that time, most of the experts came, right?"

Shen Hanyue said: "They have to leave a few to guard the sect, right?"

Xiao Ruoling slowly nodded.

Shen Hanyue suddenly came back to her senses, tilting her head to look at her: "Senior Sister, do you suspect there’s something wrong with them?"

Xiao Ruoling said: "I think it doesn’t seem right, but I can’t figure out where the problem is."

Shen Hanyue scrutinized these four people: "Doesn’t feel right?"

"Hmm, take a careful look, is there anything wrong?" Xiao Ruoling said.

Shen Hanyue tilted her head to look, then stepped back from the pavilion, looking from afar, then looked up close.

After looking again and again, she slowly nodded: "It indeed seems a bit off."

"What’s wrong?" Xiao Ruoling quickly asked.

"Hmm..." Shen Hanyue scratched her eyebrows, slowly said: "They seem to be brothers, don’t they?"

"If they’re four brothers, how could we not have heard of them?"

"What’s actually going on?" Shen Hanyue tilted her head to look at their portraits, suddenly clapped her hands: "Got it!"

Xiao Ruoling’s spirit was lifted.

Just then, Chu Zhiyuan suddenly appeared.

Shen Hanyue quickly smiled and said, "Princely Heir, we think these four guys have problems, just can’t see the issue."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "All four of them are disguised."

"Disguised?" Shen Hanyue was stunned, puzzled: "Why would they disguise?"

"Naturally, to launch a surprise attack, not to catch your attention." Chu Zhiyuan said: "And also to hide their identity."

"Why hide their identity?" Shen Hanyue was even more puzzled.

Chu Zhiyuan picked up the pen, quickly drew four portraits again.

"I recognize this one!" Shen Hanyue pointed to one of the middle-aged men: "Zheng Huaiyi, he’s a Ninth Transitions Expert! ...No wonder."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "What about the rest?"

Xiao Ruoling pointed to another middle-aged man: "Isn’t this Xing Nanfei? They are all Ninth Transitions Experts."

"And the other two?" Chu Zhiyuan pointed at them.

Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue both shook their heads.

Chu Zhiyuan sighed: "It seems they are well-prepared, at least two Ninth Transitions, if I am not mistaken, the other two are also Ninth Transitions."

Xiao Ruoling said: "They really value us, sending four Ninth Transitions experts just to kill us two."

"Obviously, they came for me." Chu Zhiyuan said.

Shen Hanyue’s eyes lit up: "Four Ninth Transitions, if we eliminate them, Li Huo Palace would suffer great losses."

In any sect, a Ninth Transitions Venerable is a cornerstone, losing even one is a loss.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.

Xiao Ruoling also shook her head: "Junior Sister, you dare to think big, four Ninth Transitions, we can’t kill them."

Shen Hanyue looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "If we prepare, strike first, what then?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "They have a spiritual artifact, with astonishing power, you can’t withstand it."

Shen Hanyue said: "Such a powerful spiritual artifact, is there no way to counter it?"

Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment: "It needs speed to counter speed, only this can be used."

He took the Golden Sword from his waist and handed it to Xiao Ruoling.

Xiao Ruoling solemnly received it.

She knew this was the Golden Sword, a spiritual artifact cultivated by the Heavenly Sword Secret Scripture, with boundless potential.

Always regarded by Chu Zhiyuan as the fundamental spiritual artifact.

Its power naturally was also extremely strong.

Shen Hanyue also knew the power of this Golden Sword, her eyes brightened: "With it, we can slay those four guys, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "You, madam, use this sword, Hanyue, you use the flying knife, work together, it’s almost enough."

Shen Hanyue was eager to try: "Then when do we go out?"

"Three days later at dawn," Chu Zhiyuan said: "When you go to face the experts from Forget Sorrow Valley, they will appear."

"Three days later is their end!" Shen Hanyue snorted: "Senior Sister, Li Huo Palace will really hate us."

Xiao Ruoling chuckled.

She then noticed Chu Zhiyuan’s solemn expression, deep in thought.

She softly asked, "Husband, is there something wrong?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "Maybe it’s just my wild imagination."

He raised his gaze, looking far away, as if penetrating through walls, seeing from afar the snow peak formed by white clouds where Zheng Huaiyi was.

Through this Zheng Huaiyi, he saw Song Wantao covered in a shroud of mist.
