Imperial Cultivation Chapter 1644 - 1640: Gained Again

It records the way of heaven and earth.

It documents how heaven and earth formed, the descent of yin, the rise of yang, the ascent of the clear and the fall of the turbid, transforming into heaven and earth, and how heaven and earth then operate.

Also, how the four seasons change and how all things in heaven and earth form.

For ordinary people, this record is insignificant, even useless.

But for a Spirit Venerable, it is very important.

To him, it is even more important.

He has memories of a past life, possessing knowledge from a past life.

The knowledge of his past life includes the formation of the universe.

Cosmology has all kinds of branches, various sayings, and even different religions have their own theories.

A plethora of explanations, yet none conclusive.

Even the theory with most evidence is only the one with most evidence, yet not indisputable.

Moreover, the heaven and earth he resides in is no longer the original world.

Applying past life knowledge is evidently inappropriate.

He has been continuously exploring, sensing, and experiencing this world.

The deeper his understanding of the world, the deeper his perception, the higher his realm elevates.

But he has one question: Does this perception and understanding align with the true heaven and earth?

Could it be said that the Nine Transitions Spirit Venerable has the correct understanding of heaven and earth?

Is his perception the truth of this world?

He perceives while stuck in confusion.

At this time, he unexpectedly encountered such a book that records the formation and operation of this heaven and earth.

For ordinary people or regular Martial Artists, this is just pure theory, like philosophy from past lives, useless.

But for him now, it is a torch in the night.

It is crucial to him.

Miss Chu watched his solemn demeanor and curiously asked, "This is useful?"

Chu Zhiyuan solemnly nodded.

He then frowned, looking up at Miss Chu, "Do you find it unimportant?"

"I think it’s useless," said Miss Chu.

Chu Zhiyuan was surprised, "Useless?"

"Useless," Miss Chu nodded, "it’s not a mental method or a Miracle Technique, what’s the use?"

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Then how do you advance your realm, Miss Chu?"

"By practicing," Miss Chu said, "As long as you practice diligently, your realm naturally improves, don’t be lazy."

"Do the Spirit Venerables around you improve their realms this way?" Chu Zhiyuan inquired.

Miss Chu shook her head, "I don’t know, I haven’t interacted with them."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "As Spirit Venerables, haven’t you exchanged and sparred?"

He had seen from Miss Chu’s past that she had fought with other Spirit Venerables.

But indeed, he hadn’t seen her having any association with other Spirit Venerables, as if she always remained within the Guangsheng Sect, or traveled, explored scenery, seemingly avoiding Spirit Venerables.

A Spirit Venerable could easily avoid another Spirit Venerable.

Miss Chu snorted: "There’s nothing to exchange, everyone has different mental methods and doesn’t want to share with outsiders."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I practice to advance, need profound understanding of heaven and earth. Without deep perception, I can’t advance."

"Even practicing mental methods doesn’t work?" Miss Chu curiously asked.

Chu Zhiyuan slowly shook his head: "Without sufficient understanding, no matter how hard you practice mental methods, you remain stagnant."

"This strange?" Miss Chu said, "Then aren’t you stuck in your realm?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "If understanding is inadequate, indeed, one would be stuck, but if understanding is sufficient, progress is rapid."

"You have enough understanding, so you progress quickly?"

"Correct."

"That’s different from us, if we circulate the mental method sufficiently, we can advance. Of course, each person’s aptitude differs, the required circulation varies."

"We are like this when our realm is low, but once Spirit Venerables, we don’t practice this way."

"We are always this way, even as Spirit Venerables."

"Then..." Chu Zhiyuan pondered, "If people from our heaven and earth come to your heaven and earth to practice..."

"I don’t know," Miss Chu said, "But as I know, it’s rare to practice in other heavens and earths, right?"

Though she rarely communicated with Spirit Venerables, she instinctively felt that Spirit Venerables often practice within their own heaven and earth, not elsewhere.

Chu Zhiyuan mused.

He truly didn’t know how progress would be if practicing in other heavens and earths.

While talking with her, Chu Zhiyuan meticulously pondered over the records in the thin book.

He savored each sentence carefully, contemplated deeply, his spirit light flashed incessantly.

The existence of Miao Ling Pearl allowed his comprehension far beyond others, and spirit light was easily stimulated.

Miss Chu tilted her head and watched him, gradually stopped talking, just observing.

The Spirit Wood Warrior had already taken away two corpses, threw them into the distant big river.

The surging river waters in an instant swallowed the two corpses, no trace remained, entering the bellies of various peculiar fish in the river.

Chu Zhiyuan’s aura suddenly burst forth, and Purple Lightning emerged in the surrounding void, striking towards him.

He reached out and summoned, causing Purple Lightning to disappear in his hand.

Purple Thunder continuously descended, he raised his left hand high, making Purple Lightning vanish.

Miss Chu had to retreat, surprisedly watching him, feeling his aura rise with each Thunder’s descent.

With each Thunder striking, his aura enhanced, as if nurtured by Thunder.

Miss Chu stared in astonishment, never seen such progress.

Once Thunder ceased, Chu Zhiyuan’s aura quickly dwindled, thoroughly retracting within, not emanating.

Were it not for witnessing him, it would be easy to believe this Spirit Venerable had perished.

Chu Zhiyuan grinned, looked at the thin booklet: "I’ll keep this booklet."

Miss Chu smiled: "It’s so thin, can’t remember after reading? Moreover, you actually recognize the characters on it?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded and then asked, "You recognize them too?"

Miss Chu smiled smugly: "Learned them by chance, a very peculiar script."

"This is Divine Language, the language of the Divine Race," Chu Zhiyuan said.

Miss Chu has remarkable luck, able to recognize Divine Language too.

He had always thought only he understood Divine Language, the rest of humanity didn’t.

Miss Chu said: "So it’s Divine Language, no wonder it’s so strange, but it’s not useful."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "In this Divine Domain, if there’s an adventure, not knowing Divine Language won’t do."

Miss Chu replied: "I’ve encountered ones that didn’t need Divine Language, moreover, if it’s a mental method, I wouldn’t dare practice."

Her mental method practiced well, and progress wasn’t slow.

Upon seeing another mental method, would she switch to practice it?

That would be too foolish.

Even if it’s a Divine Race Heart Method, how would she know if suitable for humans?

If the Divine Heart Method is only suitable for Divine Race, humans practicing it could face backlash or even go mad?

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Miss Chu, have you ever encountered a Divine Race Heart Method?"

"I have," Miss Chu replied blandly, "Seen two books, why, interested?"

Chu Zhiyuan was invigorated: "Can I take a look?"

Divine Race Heart Methods pass heart-to-heart, rarely recorded in writing.

But not necessarily never recorded.

In special cases, it might be written.

Like Cloud Dragon Fist.

Miss Chu tilted her head: "I didn’t bring them with me, will get them later for you."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "What Cultivation Technique?"

Miss Chu said: "One is Swordsmanship, the other is Hand Skills."

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "You didn’t practice to see? How powerful?"

Miss Chu shook her head: "Not interesting, felt awkward practicing."

The Divine Race Heart Method indeed wasn’t suitable for humans, the more practiced, the more awkward it felt, so directly abandoned it.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Let me try practicing."

An hour later, he obtained the two Divine Clan Martial Arts.
