Imperial Cultivation Chapter 1635 - 1631: Revenge

He scanned the surroundings with bright, clear eyes.

The Elephant Beast perched on his left shoulder, its eyes also slitted like gold lines, glancing left and right.

Moments later, Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes returned to normal, but the Elephant Beast maintained its golden slitted stare, continuously scanning.

Chu Zhiyuan approached Chu Miaomiao, gazing down at her graceful figure, shaking his head.

He flipped his left palm, and a faint purple glow slowly gathered in his palm, eventually forming into a chopstick-thick line, a foot long, appearing incomplete.

It vanished from Chu Zhiyuan’s palm, appearing on Chu Miaomiao’s back the next moment.

"Bang!"

A dull sound emitted from Chu Miaomiao’s body, her hair suddenly puffing up as if exploded.

Her body then floated to three meters high, still lying horizontally as if on the ground.

"Hiss——!"

With a long exhalation, Chu Miaomiao’s eyes abruptly opened, shooting out two cold flashes like electric currents.

The cold flashes seemed to scan around and finally focused on Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his hands together with a smile, "Miss Chu, we meet again."

Chu Miaomiao’s feet landed lightly on the ground, and she clasped her hands, "Thank you, Mr. Chu."

"No need to be polite, Miss Chu."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Her face was pale, her breath weak, like a candle in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment.

She has suffered a severe injury.

Yet, as a Spirit Venerable, her lifespan is extensive, her vitality connected to the heavens and the earth; she wouldn’t die easily.

Her earlier cessation of breath was due to being in a dormant state, retaining a thread of life.

Even without his aid, she could gradually recover over time, awakening on her own.

Though, if someone were to strike during that period and shatter her completely, she would be entirely dead.

His help counted as lending her a hand.

Also considering her inherently kind nature and that True Phoenix Blood Pearl.

He continued, "Miss Chu, did you encounter other Spirit Venerables?"

Through the Divine Eye, he saw her previous plight—first encountering a Strange Beast, severely injured, then attacked by opportunistic Spirit Venerables.

In dire straits, she used the secret technique to escape, not returning directly to her Sect, but instead arriving at Dragon Mountain.

He shook his head inwardly.

It seems the Guangsheng Sect’s Spirit Venerables are unreliable, or perhaps the Guangsheng Sect has only her as a Spirit Venerable?

Chu Miaomiao tensed her red lips, "Encountered two despicable fellows."

"Which Sect?"

"Don’t know, they’re not from the same Sect."

"Really the stench getting along well, what Realm?"

"Should be Sixth Transition," Chu Miaomiao said, "Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare act. But they’re not Seventh Transition; otherwise, I’d already be dead."

Each transition of the Spirit Venerable is vastly different.

Each transition requires years of arduous cultivation to achieve.

This means Sixth Transition possesses a crushing advantage over Fifth Transitions and below.

Unless equipped with a Miracle Technique that ignores the Realm differences.

Yet, Miracle Techniques at most compensate for a one-transition gap, rarely bridging two transitions.

Chu Zhiyuan pondered, "Sixth Transition Spirit Venerables... not many in the world?"

"Not from our layer of heaven," Chu Miaomiao said.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Do you want me to avenge you?"

Chu Miaomiao hesitated.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Miss Chu, you can track them down, right?"

Chu Miaomiao’s jade face sank coldly, "I can track them!"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I’m already Eighth Transition, can suppress them."

"You want to help me seek revenge?" Chu Miaomiao was half-believing.

Spirit Venerables fighting isn’t a trivial matter, and more importantly, for Spirit Venerables, the price of combat is high.

Given their long lifespans, genuinely dying means a significant loss of lifespan.

Thus, without certainty, Spirit Venerables generally avoid slaughtering each other.

However, Spirit Venerables are human too, emotional, and more self-centered, often not restraining their tempers, easily taking action.

But fighting other Spirit Venerables for someone else’s sake is seldom seen.

Even she wouldn’t easily battle Spirit Venerables for friends or Sect members, except upon witnessing her disciples being killed would she intervene.

Still, she’d weigh it over.

For instance, initially suspecting Chu Zhiyuan secretly harmed Guangsheng Sect disciples, she didn’t rashly act.

First observing, then trying to find evidence.

She wouldn’t act rashly unless absolutely necessary.

Later, she confirmed his good character and didn’t pursue further.

Moreover, he was somewhat profound and unpredictable, unwise to confront directly.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Don’t you want revenge?"

Those two Spirit Venerables are harmful.

More importantly, Chu Miaomiao absolutely wouldn’t let him exert himself in vain.

She’s often lucky, likely possessing quite a number of good items.

Furthermore, he was eager for action, having been inactive for a while, curious to test his Taixu True Scripture’s power.

Chu Miaomiao questioned again, "You truly want to help me seek revenge?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Together we can handle those two, can’t we?"

Chu Miaomiao said, "With your help, I can severely injure them, exact revenge!"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Then let’s try it."

"Alright," Chu Miaomiao bit her red lip, resentfully said, "Those two despicable fellows shouldn’t be alive!"

As she spoke, she closed her bright eyes, activating the secret technique to track.

Mere moments later, she opened her eyes gracefully and flew forward, "Let’s go!"

Chu Zhiyuan followed beside her, floating without speaking to interrupt.

The Elephant Beast crouched on his shoulder, its golden-slit eyes scanning around.

Chu Miaomiao kept her jade face tensed, silently gliding forward, extremely fast.

Their two figures resembled wisps of smoke, floating above forests, mountains, and rivers.

Beside Chu Zhiyuan, two White Dragons manifested, circling him.

The White Dragons were imposing; any Strange Beast encountered avoided them.

Throughout the journey, no Strange Beast blocked their path, allowing them to pursue over three hundred miles without hindrance.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Miss Chu actually managed to escape so far?"

Chu Miaomiao was gravely injured and in a precarious state; her Spirit Venerable aura couldn’t be concealed, yet she escaped two Spirit Venerables’ pursuit.

Remarkable indeed.

Chu Miaomiao said, "I used a Spiritual Artifact to mislead them."

Chu Zhiyuan praised, "Deceiving two Spirit Venerables, that Spiritual Artifact is impressive."

Chu Miaomiao grinned, "My Spiritual Artifact is indeed formidable."

"What kind of Spiritual Artifact?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "Able to pass off as real?"

"Substitute Spirit Puppet," Chu Miaomiao said, "I acquired it unintentionally; it can divert other Spirit Venerables just by aura, unable to distinguish true from false."

"If they catch up, they’ll see through it?"

"But the puppet is extraordinarily fast; they can’t catch up."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly, "I must see such a Spiritual Artifact."

Indeed, this was a rare and life-saving Spiritual Artifact, swift and capable of impersonating one’s aura to divert opponents.

He was quite curious; the Divine Eye had seen the artifact’s appearance, yet he yearned to personally touch it.

Chu Miaomiao said, "I’ll show you later."

She suddenly said, "We’re almost there."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, suddenly waving his hands, rapidly constraining his aura.

In the blink of an eye, his aura entirely converged within his body, revealing nothing.

Chu Miaomiao gazed at him, amazed.

To her knowledge, a Spirit Venerable’s aura couldn’t be concealed, but Chu Zhiyuan could.

She concluded it was a Miracle Technique.

Unexpected that such a Miracle Technique existed.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "This way, they won’t flee, right?"

Chu Miaomiao said, "Your Miracle Technique is more impressive than my Spiritual Artifact."

Her puppet only diverted other Spirit Venerables but couldn’t ambush like Chu Zhiyuan.

Almost all Spirit Venerables disregard ambushes from other Spirit Venerables.

Under such circumstances, the attack power is immense; if equally matched in Realm, escape is nearly impossible.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Occasionally using it is good, should we kill them?"

"Kill!" Chu Miaomiao said resentfully.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, watching as three wisps of smoke drifted over from afar.

The figure ahead appeared lifelike, indistinguishable from a real person.

The two chasing figures behind turned out to be a plump and a slender middle-aged man.

Their auras differed, but both were Sixth Transition.
