Imperial Cultivation Chapter 1632 - 1628: Eighth Transition

Zhang Ji Yuan stomped his foot and let out a long sigh towards the sky.

Ning Dongge frowned, staring worriedly at the departing Inheritance Hall.

Lu Tiancheng’s face was gloomy.

"Alas..." Zhang Ji Yuan sighed deeply, "What should we do!"

He turned his head to look at Zhou Qingyu, "Little Qingyu, don’t worry, your master will be fine."

Zhou Qingyu’s expression was calm, "Uncle Zhang, rest assured, Master will be fine."

She had complete confidence in Chu Zhiyuan and didn’t believe that the departure of the Inheritance Hall meant Chu Zhiyuan couldn’t return.

She knew that Chu Zhiyuan had mastered the Taihao Jade Void Scripture, surpassing any disciple of the Heaven-Reaching Sect with abilities none of them possessed.

Therefore, they might find it unfortunate, but it might not be unfortunate for Chu Zhiyuan.

Zhang Ji Yuan immediately laughed, "Ha, Little Qingyu, truly worthy of being the disciple of our little junior brother! ... Yes, yes, our little junior brother will be fine!"

Ning Dongge said, "Little junior brother’s skills are astounding, at most, he’s just temporarily trapped and unable to return now, but he won’t be in danger."

"But why is this happening?" Jing Kaiyang asked in confusion, "Is the time for the Inheritance Hall up?"

Lu Tiancheng said, "The time is up, and the Inheritance Hall returned to its place."

"Then how long does the Inheritance Hall need to pause before we can summon it again?"

"There’s no precedent for continuous summoning; it might be just one hour, or it could be a day, or even a year."

"If it takes a year," Zhang Ji Yuan said, "what about our little junior brother?"

Ning Dongge said, "Even if it takes a year, it’s okay. Our little junior brother is blessed by the heavens and will be fine."

"Let’s hope so." Zhang Ji Yuan looked up at the sky.

"Let’s rest for an hour and try." Lu Tiancheng said.

"Yes, yes, let’s try." Zhang Ji Yuan looked at Zhou Qingyu, "Little Qingyu, can you hold on?"

Zhou Qingyu smiled, "Uncle Zhang, rest assured, I am no longer who I used to be."

Zhang Ji Yuan clapped his hands, "Ha, yes, Little Qingyu, your cultivation has soared, even surpassing us, so of course, you can hold on."

Zhou Qingyu shook her head, "My cultivation isn’t that strong, it’s just at the initial Perfection of the Venerable."

"Initial Perfection is still Perfection!" Zhang Ji Yuan said, then exclaimed in surprise, "To think you reached Perfection so quickly? Incredible!"

Jing Kaiyang looked at Zhou Qingyu, shook his head, and smiled, "People really can’t be compared."

He had cultivated painstakingly for decades to reach the Perfect Realm.

But Zhou Qingyu inherited the Perfect Cultivation in the blink of an eye.

"Uncle Jing, although I’m at Perfection, it’s not the same as your Perfection. After all, I didn’t achieve it myself. It takes time and effort to transform it into my own cultivation."

Jing Kaiyang said, "Even with the time and effort, it’s still faster than our step-by-step hard work."

Zhou Qingyu said, "Uncle Jing, I was able to inherit this cultivation because of good luck and the favor of the sect’s predecessors, benefiting from their blessings, not my own skill."

"Good luck is the greatest skill," Jing Kaiyang said, "Besides, it’s also because your aptitude is good enough to inherit the cultivation."

He concluded that the reason people like himself hadn’t inherited cultivation was due to their already high cultivation, reaching Perfection.

They couldn’t directly infuse cultivation to push them to become Spirit Venerables?

There was no advancement possible, so there was no cultivation to inherit.

But for Zhou Qingyu, it was different.

She had just stepped into the Venerable stage, far from Perfection, so she was infused with cultivation.

One could only blame themselves for not opening the Inheritance Hall when they were young and had low cultivation. That indeed was luck.

As they spoke, they operated to recover, preparing for the next opening of the Inheritance Hall.

Time passed slowly.

They felt it was extremely slow.

Lu Tiancheng looked up at the sky and slowly said, "Is it about time?"

His gaze fell on Zhou Qingyu.

Zhou Qingyu opened her bright eyes and slowly said, "Sect Master, I’m ready."

"Good!" Lu Tiancheng said solemnly.

Zhou Qingyu and the others immediately stood in their positions, preparing to operate.

At this moment, Zhou Qingyu cheered, "Master!"

Everyone hurriedly looked over and saw Chu Zhiyuan appearing at the spot where the Inheritance Hall had previously descended.

A powerful aura surged around him, much like Zhou Qingyu’s earlier.

Only, Zhou Qingyu’s aura surged like a river, while his aura surged like an ocean.

The difference in their auras was significant.

Though standing at a distance, they felt like a mountain peak was about to collapse, crushing them into pulp, compelling them to turn and flee.

Zhou Qingyu floated like willow catkins, gently landing in front of Chu Zhiyuan.

As she got close, she felt her breath catch, as if she were sinking into a quagmire.

Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes returned to normal, and his aura quickly retracted. He glanced at everyone and cupped his fists with a smile.

"Master!" Zhou Qingyu exclaimed excitedly, "You really made it back!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

Zhang Ji Yuan and Ning Dongge also leaped down and observed him.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, Brother Ning, quite a scare, wasn’t it?"

Zhang Ji Yuan asked curiously, "Little junior brother, how did you make it back? Did you use the Ascension Technique?"

"I used the Taihao Jade Void Scripture," Chu Zhiyuan replied, "It was quite easy. The Inheritance Hall helped there, so coming back required nothing."

"Taihao Jade Void Scripture..." Zhang Ji Yuan shook his head.

Only Chu Zhiyuan managed to practice the Taihao Jade Void Scripture, which meant others failed.

"Little junior brother, what mental method did you inherit, one that Spirit Venerables can practice?" Zhang Ji Yuan asked curiously.

Jing Kaiyang and the others floated down, curiously watching him.

Even Lu Tiancheng flew over in curiosity.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It’s a mental method that Spirit Venerables can practice, but I can’t really say what it is."

Zhang Ji Yuan asked, "What about the cultivation?"

"I’ve entered the First Transition," Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

"Was power infused as well?" Zhang Ji Yuan looked Chu Zhiyuan up and down, "How exactly does the Inheritance Hall do this?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "It’s not directly infusing power, but rather enlightenment, guiding my insights, thereby elevating a Realm."

His heart and spirit were carried by an invisible force, flying through numerous worlds, seeing scenes never witnessed before.

The mind was strongly impacted and shaken, naturally achieving the Eighth Transition.

Zhang Ji Yuan marveled, "To ascend a Transition just like that, such comprehension... truly worthy of being our little junior brother!"

Ning Dongge asked, "Little junior brother, you didn’t encounter any danger?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "It was just being in the Inheritance Hall, once completed, I returned right away. What about the Inheritance Hall?"

"As soon as you entered, it ascended into the sky and frightened us greatly; it was indeed a false alarm!"

Zhang Ji Yuan shook his head repeatedly, explaining their circumstances.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Honorables, you were startled, but the Inheritance Hall surely doesn’t intend to harm us."

Zhang Ji Yuan said, "Just worried about the chance, given it hasn’t opened in so many years."

"Alright, each of you should go back and rest well, solidify the inherited mental method," Lu Tiancheng said, "The Inheritance Hall has finally opened, who knows when it will open next."

"It depends on whether our Heaven-Reaching Sect can recruit more disciples." Jing Kaiyang laughed, "If we become Spirit Venerables, the Inheritance Hall won’t open; then, the mental method becomes a trouble."

He looked at Chu Zhiyuan, "Little junior brother, recruit a few more disciples."

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled and shook his head, "Finding Qingyu was already a blessing; it’s unlikely to happen again soon."

Those present all had the chance to become Spirit Venerables.

The number of Spirit Venerables achieved determines the number of disciples needed to replace them.

This was almost impossible to accomplish.

He and Zhou Qingyu returned to their small yard in the Profound Yin Palace.

He advised Zhou Qingyu not to rush, she had already saved a lot of cultivation time, and to slowly digest it.

To completely purify it and fully transform it into personal cultivation was no easy task.

He then sat cross-legged on his bed, meditating on the Void Divine Flower within his Inner Universe.
