Imperial Cultivation Chapter 1683 - 1679: Old Acquaintance

When they flew out, the other Spirit Venerables also reacted and scrambled to stick to the giant tower, only to be bounced off as well.

In their eagerness, they used too much force, and the more they were repelled.

They spat out blood arrows one after another.

For a moment, blood arrows shot out one after another, a spectacular sight.

The Spirit Venerables watching the commotion from a distance widened their eyes, eager to move.

They felt it was a good opportunity.

All the High Rank Spirit Venerables were severely injured, each looking pale and listless, their breath weak.

And they had just charged forward vigorously, likely depleting the tower’s defensive power.

This was the best time to take advantage of the situation!

So a few Low Rank Spirit Venerables rushed up.

Though they were Low Rank, they were Spirit Venerables nonetheless, unbelievably fast, only to be quickly bounced away, spraying blood arrows in the air.

Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes were bright as he once again activated his Divine Eye to gaze at the giant tower.

The golden lights on the tower increased, and the golden light mass inside became more solid.

The tower’s power was growing, its spirituality increasing, several times stronger than when it first appeared days ago.

He shook his head gently.

At this rate, the stronger the tower grew, the less likely it was to be refined.

Even with all these Spirit Venerables combined, they still couldn’t get close.

The giant tower had been absorbing the Spirit Venerables’ power these past few days to strengthen itself.

Like raindrops converging into a river.

The golden light mass inside the tower flickered and pulsated, clearly toying with these Spirit Venerables.

This was a sign of its increased spirituality.

It was no longer as ignorant as before, it was starting to toy with people.

What about the next step?

Is it going to start killing people?

Chu Zhiyuan continued staring at the tower, watching the expansion and contraction of the golden light mass inside.

He thought for a moment, leaped up, and disappeared, appearing the next moment above the clouds.

Letting his figure be shrouded by the mist, shielding himself from the Spirit Venerables’ gaze.

At the same time, twelve stone towers suddenly appeared, suspended in mid-air, forming a circle that slowly approached the tower’s spire.

His eyes were bright as he employed the Divine Eye.

The Divine Eye saw that the twelve stone towers emitted a strange aura, like mist and smoke, clashing with the strange aura emanating from the giant tower.

The twelve stone towers halted, not advancing further, only emitting their auras.

The auras clashed and intertwined, seemingly turning into countless strands in battle.

Chu Zhiyuan’s lips twitched slightly upwards.

He felt no killing intent; the entanglement and collision of these auras seemed more like playful frolicking of children, or youthful tussles.

Roughhousing, refusing to submit to each other, wanting to compete, but not brutally to the point of killing the opponent.

Chu Zhiyuan watched from the side with his Divine Eye, observing the virtual and real aspects of the giant tower.

The golden light mass inside the tower was leaping incessantly like flames burning.

Indicating that its spirituality was in a lively state.

Apparently, finding a sense of approval made it very fascinated and excited.

A quarter of an hour later, the twelve stone towers slowly rose, and the strange aura began to disengage.

He could sense the giant tower’s reluctance, and his smile grew wider.

The twelve stone towers gradually ascended higher and higher, finally disappearing suddenly.

Chu Zhiyuan vanished along with them, appearing the next moment on the previous mountain peak.

Continuing to activate the Divine Eye, he saw the golden light mass in the tower gradually calm down, no longer jumping or active.

Yet those Spirit Venerables still trying to approach the tower were suddenly bounced away, shooting even higher blood arrows.

The tower’s spirituality apparently lost the interest to play and didn’t want to bother with them.

After almost all the Spirit Venerables were heavily injured, they finally stopped their mad rush.

Such a frenzied assault, even if it were powerful, should have exhausted its power, not able to hold on the next moment.

But the result, time after time, was disappointment.

The accumulation of these disappointments transformed into despair.

A thought gradually emerged: The giant tower is unshakeable, beyond human reach.

That person before, even if they touched the tower, was just lucky, perhaps a one-time chance, missed, unlikely to have such an opportunity again.

So the agitation gradually subsided, and the Spirit Venerables calmed down.

They sized up the giant tower.

Majestic and mysterious, gazing at it inexplicably induced a sense of awe and reverence.

After countless impacts and failures, they increasingly felt its imposing grandeur, not to be directly confronted.

Yet letting them give up like this and just retreat was impossible.

Facing this giant tower, everyone seemed powerless, making their sense of crisis less acute.

It seemed that snatching this giant tower was no longer a dangerous task, but a rare bustle and event.

On normal occasions, how could there be so many Spirit Venerables seen?

When had they ever seen so many Spirit Venerables?

With so many Spirit Venerables and such excitement, it was unprecedented.

Even without vying for the giant tower, gathering in such a lively festivity was also interesting.

Suddenly, Chu Zhiyuan looked up at a certain location with a smile.

The next moment, he suddenly appeared beside a maiden.

This maiden had just glided over from afar, accompanied by two elders, both with white hair yet youthful faces, their complexions like rosy infants.

The maiden was a Spirit Venerable, and the two elders behind her were also Spirit Venerables, and Nineth Transitions Spirit Venerables at that, yet appeared to be her protectors.

And this maiden was an old acquaintance of Chu Zhiyuan he hadn’t seen for a while.

Clad in Purple Luo Shirt, her skin like snow, bright eyes and white teeth, slender and graceful as before, sweet and charming as ever.

The two elders swiftly stepped forward, standing in front of Chu Zhiyuan, eyes blazing, ready to act at any moment.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Yingying."

The purple-clad maiden immediately widened her bright eyes, her eyes shining, her sweet face changing from surprise to a flowery smile, "Princely Heir, you’ve finally ascended!"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile, giving her a few glances, "I didn’t expect to see you, Yingying, so soon."

"I thought it would take a few more years to see you, Princely Heir! ...Oh, you’ve become Spirit Venerable too?" Xu Yingying giggled, "Hee hee, I’ve become Spirit Venerable too, Sixth Transition, quite fast, right?"

She lightly turned, her Purple Luo Shirt swaying, graceful and charming.

Chu Zhiyuan praised, "Didn’t expect to meet so soon."

He had a series of luck and encounters, plus comprehension and hard cultivation.

While Xu Yingying had always been laid-back, not striving hard in cultivation.

Yet now, Xu Yingying was already Spirit Venerable Sixth Transition, even higher than Xiao Ruoling and Li Hongzhao.

Clearly, Xu Yingying, even after ascending to another world, remained the favored one of fortune.

Xu Yingying waved her small hand, the two elders gave Chu Zhiyuan a deep look, bowed slightly, and retreated behind her.

Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Yingying, you are now...?"

Xu Yingying proudly replied, "I’m still in the Divine Sect, now a Holy Daughter."

"Holy Daughter of Jiuli Divine Sect? Didn’t your Jiuli Divine Sect have no Holy Daughter?"

"Our Little Outer Heaven doesn’t have one, but there is one in the Main Sect." Xu Yingying said, "I have the best aptitude, so naturally I became the Holy Daughter."

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at the two elders.

Two Nineth Transitions Spirit Venerables, acting as guardians, unbelievable to hear.

This Jiuli Divine Sect must be extraordinary.

"Elder Ge and Elder Xun are my protectors, responsible for my safety," Xu Yingying said, "What about you, Princely Heir, where are you now, and what are you doing?"

Chu Zhiyuan then shared his current status.

Xu Yingying clapped her hands and laughed, "That’s right, you were born of the Royal Family, naturally you would enter Biyuan Heaven’s Heavenly Sword Sect, becoming Spirit Venerable Ninth Transitions so quickly, Heavenly Sword Sect seems impressive."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.

The Heavenly Sword Sect, though not as formidable as the Heaven-Reaching Sect and Profound Yin Palace, and even less than Guanghan Palace, was indeed very powerful.

Thus the two exchanged their experiences since parting.

In Xu Yingying’s eyes, her experiences were boring and uneventful, just entering the Jiuli Divine Sect Main Sect, becoming a direct disciple, then a Holy Daughter, with some adventures.
