Imperial Cultivation Chapter 1574 - 1570: Heavenly Sword

The Dragon Fish can summon thunder because of the True Dragon Blood combined with mysterious changes.

Chu Zhiyuan hasn’t obtained True Dragon Blood, nor has he undergone any mutations, yet can he summon thunder merely through comprehension?

This is incredibly unbelievable.

Chu Zhiyuan’s voice echoed in its mind: "Indeed, thunder is one of the greatest powers in the world!"

However, his face grew increasingly pale.

The Elephant Beast quickly asked, "Is it still not working?"

The True Dragon can withstand thunder, but the Dragon-slaying Sword might not be able to.

As the thunder struck, the Dragon-slaying Sword should be on the verge of collapse.

As soon as it finished speaking, it realized the buzzing sound was diminishing.

The light of the Dragon-slaying Sword began to dim, while the Golden Sword’s light remained unchanged.

Its eyes turned into two golden lines once more.

At this moment, it could clearly see that the Sword of the Dragon-slaying Sword had intricate patterns.

These patterns were becoming dense, constantly proliferating and expanding, from one to two, then three, and four.

In the blink of an eye, the Sword of the Dragon-slaying Sword was already enveloped by countless intricate lines.

Its eyes suddenly widened.

Soon, they reverted to golden lines.

It could clearly see that these patterns were actually cracks, capable of cutting through the body of the True Dragon, yet now, the Dragon-slaying Sword had so many cracks.

As the cracks increased, its light grew dimmer.

Simultaneously, the Golden Sword became brighter, continuously absorbing its aura.

Originally, the aura of the Golden Sword and the Dragon-slaying Sword fluctuated back and forth, but now, only the Golden Sword absorbed its aura, while it could not absorb the Golden Sword’s aura.

The situation was clearly one-sided.

The Dragon-slaying Sword had already lost, utterly defeated with no power to resist.

It took a deep breath.

The tail behind slowly shook its head, heavy beyond measure.

It felt an inexplicable tragic heroism, inexplicable bitterness, like the melancholy of a hero in twilight.

"Pop!"

A crisp sound.

From within the Dragon-slaying Sword, it emitted light, with shimmering golden light scattering.

However, the Dragon-slaying Sword transformed into a spray of golden dust, fluttering towards the Golden Sword.

The light emitted by the Golden Sword turned pure white, like the sun, too intense to be gazed directly upon.

It stared intently, tears spilling out against its will.

It saw the light of the Golden Sword rapidly converging, in the blink of an eye, from scorching to nothingness.

The Golden Sword before its eyes had transformed into a Jade Sword, warm and peaceful.

The Sword was no longer as translucent as before, barely discernible.

At this moment, the Sword seemed carved from White Jade, with faint peculiar patterns within.

The Golden Sword floated in front of Chu Zhiyuan, motionless, then emitted a gentle light.

The gentle light fell upon Chu Zhiyuan’s brow.

Chu Zhiyuan did not dodge, his pale face showing a comforting smile.

The Elephant Beast quickly asked, "Did it win, defeated the Dragon-slaying Sword?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.

"Did it directly devour the Dragon-slaying Sword?"

"It’s not devouring; it’s fusion. The Dragon-slaying Sword fused itself into my Heavenly Sword."

Now, calling it the Golden Sword is no longer suitable.

Having fused with the Dragon-slaying Sword, the Golden Sword has already undergone changes.

Having fused with celestial righteousness, having fused with the celestial will, it is truly a complete and perfect Heavenly Sword.

The Heavenly Sword Secret Scripture was created by a Heavenly Person, thus establishing the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The martial arts created by the Heavenly Person are all modeled after the Divine Clan Martial Arts.

The roots of every pinnacle martial art of the Heavenly Person are the Divine Clan Martial Arts.

The Heavenly Sword Secret Scripture is no exception.

Practiced to the Extreme Realm, it becomes the celestial will, the Sword of celestial will.

In the Heavenly Sword Secret Scripture, this is the ultimate realm, an ideal realm, actually impossible to achieve.

What existence is celestial will, the Divine Race can glimpse, but the Heavenly Person cannot attain.

Thus, with human merit as a ladder, step by step approaching celestial will.

Emphasizing the so-called celestial will equating to human will.

But what is true celestial will, still just exploration, unable to truly reach.

This Dragon-slaying Sword is already broken, its aura dying, yet it still contains a thread of celestial will.

If not for the Purple Lightning strike, the final result for the Golden Sword would be being absorbed by the Dragon-slaying Sword, transformed into the power to repair it.

Between heaven and earth, the only thing that can be absorbed by the Dragon-slaying Sword and thereby repair itself is the Secret Sword practiced from the Heavenly Sword Secret Scripture.

This time it’s an opportunity for the Dragon-slaying Sword, as well as for the Golden Sword.

Ultimately, the Dragon-slaying Sword was slightly less fortunate, being absorbed by the Golden Sword, which had its own assistance, to help the Golden Sword complete its most fundamental transformation.

The spirituality of the Dragon-slaying Sword is different from that of a human; even if absorbed, it doesn’t truly perish, it merely integrates.

It has already become a part of the Heavenly Sword, rather than being completely erased.

From now on, the Golden Sword is the true Heavenly Sword.

Acting according to the will of heaven and earth, it can continually strengthen itself.

The first thing the Heavenly Sword does is assist in restoring one’s spirit.

Its spirituality is so full that it is almost like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth.

Full of spirituality means its spiritual power is vast, already surpassing any clone.

From now on, there is one more source of spiritual power for oneself.

"Fusion? It’s just devouring anyway." The Elephant Beast shook its head indifferently, "Can your sword now slay a True Dragon?"

"I’m afraid not yet." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

The Heavenly Sword is the fusion of the battered and dying Dragon-slaying Sword.

Far from the strength of the Dragon-slaying Sword at its peak, it needs time to strengthen.

Absorb the will of heaven and earth, continually grow stronger, in order to break through the True Dragon’s defenses.

How to absorb the will of heaven and earth?

Act in accordance with heaven.

What does it mean to act in accordance with heaven?

He momentarily fell into deep thought.

...

Heavenly Sword Branch.

Huang Zhengyang was outside Chu Zhiyuan’s small courtyard, raising a hand to knock when Chu Zhiyuan’s voice came from the courtyard: "Brother Huang, come in."

Huang Zhengyang pushed the door open with a smile on his face: "Brother Chu."

Chu Zhiyuan stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the courtyard, his blue robe floating, fist to palm with a smile: "Brother Huang is here to inquire about the progress, right?"

"Just in passing." Huang Zhengyang smiled: "Haven’t seen Brother Chu for a few days, I missed you very much, come over to have a look."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and reached out.

The two came to the stone table by the small pavilion and sat down, Zhou Qingyu had already lit the red clay small stove.

Huang Zhengyang recognized Zhou Qingyu, and with a smile glanced at her: "Qingyu’s cultivation progresses too quickly."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled as he glanced at Zhou Qingyu.

Zhou Qingyu dressed in a simple combat uniform, gallant and spirited, said embarrassedly: "I’m too impatient."

Huang Zhengyang said with a smile: "The disciple is bound to follow the master, with your master’s daily thousand-mile progress in cultivation, it’s not surprising for you to follow suit, but to complain about your cultivation advancing too fast, would invite scolding from others if spread."

Zhou Qingyu smiled: "Master said I shouldn’t advance too fast, should stabilize."

She felt unrestrained around Huang Zhengyang, believing he had a great relationship with her master, not an outsider.

"Listen to your master then." Huang Zhengyang said: "If your master says you shouldn’t be fast, it’s certainly correct."

Zhou Qingyu clasped her mouth and smiled: "Yes, I dare not disobey my master."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Didn’t the three of them enter the Grotto Heaven?"

"Alas...Managed to persuade them not to." Huang Zhengyang showed helplessness.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "It’s indeed not easy."

Huang Zhengyang said: "Brother Chu, how has your exploration inside gone? Did you encounter danger?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, briefly recounted the general experience but omitted the details and omitted the benefits.

Huang Zhengyang listened in shock: "Lucky not to have gone in, otherwise, multiple lives wouldn’t be enough."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "My Flying Knife is fine outside the Grotto Heaven, but inside, it indeed cannot protect your life."

Huang Zhengyang sighed: "Brother Chu, you must be extraordinarily careful, if it doesn’t work, be lazy, having gone in counts as fulfilling a task."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile.

Huang Zhengyang looked around, lowered his voice: "I just heard some news today."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "News about the Divine Artifact?"

"Not the Divine Artifact." Huang Zhengyang lowered his voice: "I heard that in other heavens, experts also entered the Grotto Heaven."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "Which heaven?"

"Not just one heaven, experts entered You Meng Heaven, it seems someone also entered Glazed Heaven, and there should be experts in Qinghua Heaven," Huang Zhengyang said: "They probably know there’s a Divine Artifact there, searching for the Divine Artifact."

Chu Zhiyuan slowly said: "It’s inevitable, and there are top Sect experts, right?"

Huang Zhengyang nodded: "Some Sects transcend heaven and earth, like your Heaven-Reaching Sect, should also know and have broken into the message."

Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

Huang Zhengyang said: "So from now on, the danger in the Grotto Heaven not only comes from heaven and earth, but also other experts, be utmost careful!"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "More perilous, but also more lively."

He just stepped into the Sixth Transition, no longer so weak, being cautious could allow self-preservation.

As long as not encountering Spirit Venerables of the Eighth or Ninth Transition, he can retreat completely.
