Imperial Cultivation Chapter 1571 - 1567: Sixth Transition

As a disciple of Chu Zhiyuan, she practices the most top-tier Miracle Technique, has access to the best cultivation resources, and receives guidance from the best master.

If she cannot become a Venerable soon, she would feel undeserving.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "I have plenty of time, no need to rush, and neither should you."

"Master..."

"If you’re too hasty, your foundation will be unstable. Don’t you wish to become a Spirit Venerable?"

"Of course I do."

"Then don’t rush."

"...Yes." Zhou Qingyu reluctantly agreed.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to see the New Cave Heaven."

He placed his hand on Zhou Qingyu’s shoulder, and they disappeared in a flash.

The two of them appeared on the peak of a mountain in the New Cave Heaven, at the location of the first lake.

The lake was like jade, exceptionally beautiful, rendering Zhou Qingyu enchanted.

Chu Zhiyuan pointed and said, "This is where the green stone is located."

"It’s so beautiful!" Zhou Qingyu exclaimed, "I never thought such a beautiful place existed in the world!"

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled and said, "You’ve only seen a few places. There are countless wonders in the world. Once you become a Spirit Venerable, you can explore them at your leisure."

Zhou Qingyu said, "Master, can I really become a Spirit Venerable?"

"You are my disciple. If you can’t become a Spirit Venerable, wouldn’t it be laughable?" Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.

"But I’ve heard that becoming a Spirit Venerable is something one achieves by themselves, not something that can be taught."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "What they can’t do doesn’t mean I can’t."

Zhou Qingyu’s spirit was immediately lifted, smiling brightly, "That’s right, Master is a remarkable person for the ages, the first of all time."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "If you proceed steadily, step by step, you will naturally become a Spirit Venerable."

"Yes!"

...

Subsequently, Chu Zhiyuan took her to Dragon Mountain, saw the mighty river, and the Little Demon Suppression Divine Tree inside the cave.

He also took her to the Outer Heaven, You Meng Heaven, and Glazed Heaven.

They thoroughly explored each place.

After this round, Zhou Qingyu felt her horizons had expanded significantly.

The initial impatience dissipated at once.

It seemed like her matters were not that important, and shouldn’t be rushed within a few months.

Her mental state became calm.

Only then was Chu Zhiyuan satisfied.

She no longer hurried in her practice, leaving the green stone when she should, taking a good rest, and practicing on the green stone when she should.

Practicing when it’s time, stopping when it’s time, neither rushed nor slow.

Under such circumstances, her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, exceeding before.

...

"Boom!"

Thunder roared.

The void trembled.

Chu Zhiyuan stood with hands behind his back on a mountain peak, watching the Purple Lightning tear through the void.

The Elephant Beast crouched on his left shoulder, its body trembling lightly.

It held an instinctive fear of the thunder, born from its bloodline, and couldn’t help wanting to escape.

But seeing Chu Zhiyuan fixedly staring at the rift in the void, at the streaks of Purple Lightning, it couldn’t resist its curiosity and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"I used to think thunder was the Power of Slaughter." Chu Zhiyuan said slowly.

"Of course it’s the Power of Slaughter. With one strike, only the True Dragon can withstand it, no one else can."

"What about the Divine Race?"

"As far as I know, the Divine Race can’t withstand it either, they also fear thunder."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "But the Divine Race can kill the True Dragon."

"That’s different."

"The True Dragon can withstand thunder but can’t withstand the Divine Race."

The Elephant Beast hummed, "Perhaps they relied on a Divine Artifact."

"Does the Divine Race have a Divine Artifact as formidable as thunder?"

"Certainly, otherwise, they couldn’t kill a True Dragon. But such an artifact would surely be taken, wouldn’t you take it if it were you?"

"No, unless it can’t be taken."

"How could it not be taken!"

"Boom!"

"Boom Boom!"

...

Endless thunder boomed continuously.

The sky flashed with streaks of Purple Lightning, one after another, appearing continuously.

In Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes, flickering Purple Light danced, until finally, it seemed all he saw was Purple Light.

In his mind, flashes of Purple Lightning appeared continually. Through the Divine Eye, he saw the formation, change, and end of these Purple Lightning.

He gained an unprecedented understanding of thunder; in the inner universe of the void, streaks of Purple Lightning began to flicker.

As he gained understanding of thunder, Jade Sea and Sky also began to flash with thunder.

This signified that he had completely understood thunder, thoroughly and clearly.

"I see now..."

Chu Zhiyuan remarked with a shake of his head, "I was wrong before."

"How was it wrong?" the Elephant Beast curiously inquired.

It sensed Chu Zhiyuan’s aura rapidly changing, surging like a torrent, growing wildly.

In a short while, the aura doubled in strength, the speed making it click its tongue in amazement.

At the same time, it also sensed a terrifying aura mixed in his surging aura.

It quickly realized it was the aura of thunder.

He was merging the aura of thunder into himself, letting the Divine Essence carry thunder attributes.

This comprehension was truly unprecedented.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly burst into hearty laughter, "I finally understood!"

From the Dragon Fish’s Purple Lightning to the void’s Purple Lightning, it allowed him to thoroughly grasp thunder.

By understanding thunder, he gained a deeper insight into Heaven and Earth.

"Bang!"

His green robe suddenly billowed.

The Elephant Beast was flung into the air, turned into a streak of white light mid-air, then dashed back to his left shoulder, exclaiming, "What was that?"

"Sixth Transition!" Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "I have stepped into the Sixth Transition now."

His smile remained.

Originally, he thought entering the Sixth Transition would take ten or even decades.

Unexpectedly, he reached it so quickly.

Benefitting from the changes within the inner universe, the changes were coming from the valley of Taiqing Primordial Sect, from this New Cave Heaven.

This New Cave Heaven was of immense benefit to him.

"Sixth Transition?" the Elephant Beast marveled, "Such an easy breakthrough?"

"The cultivation of a Spirit Venerable requires more and more understanding, knowledge of Heaven and Earth, the farther you go." Chu Zhiyuan said with emotion, "I am indeed fortunate."

The most fortunate point being the presence of the inner universe, akin to simulating Heaven and Earth.

Perceiving Heaven and Earth from such a perspective hardly compares to simply observing Heaven and Earth and oneself.

Hence, the progression was rapid, the rate staggering.

"You are indeed quite lucky to have met me," the Elephant Beast nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed heartily, "You are also lucky to have met me."

The Elephant Beast snorted, "Are we staying here longer?"

"Boom Boom Boom..."

Thunder continued to roar.

Heaven and Earth trembled.

Chu Zhiyuan looked up at the sky with a smile, hands behind his back, "Now they are not terrifying."

Then he shook his head, "Had I grasped this earlier, I wouldn’t fear the Dragon Fish."

However, things can’t be viewed backwards.

Without the Dragon Fish, I wouldn’t have comprehended the wonder of thunder.

"Let’s leave now," the Elephant Beast advised, "This doesn’t look promising."

"Will it attack us?" Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

The Elephant Beast said, "Now that your aura is strong, it might attack you."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Unlikely."

Truthfully, he wanted to compare the real thunder with the Dragon Fish’s thunder and the thunder he condensed within the inner universe.

At this moment, a stroke of Purple Lightning struck down, like a sword instantly piercing towards the top of Chu Zhiyuan’s head.

He raised his right hand.

His jade-like right hand was struck by the Purple Lightning, emitting a dazzling glow.

In the Purple Light, his right hand brightened as if charged with electricity.

The Elephant Beast, unable to flee in time, had its fur explode, its body stiffen, and cursed in its heart.

But then it realized its body was only numb, unable to move, yet its spirit remained unaffected.

It cried out in its mind, "Am I dead? Am I dead?"

"You won’t die, it’s alright." Chu Zhiyuan replied in its mind.

Then the Elephant Beast felt the numbness in its body quickly being drawn away.
