Imperial Cultivation Chapter 1686 - 1682: Passionstone

After the cold energy entered her body, the breath in her Dantian began to rise, enveloping it.

Moments later, a chilling aura emanated from her body, her jade-like face pale, with frost flowers hanging on her long eyelashes.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, formed a sealing hand gesture with both hands, and imprinted a golden pattern onto her back.

As the golden pattern seeped into her body, a burning sensation instantly emerged, pouring out of her pores and melting the ice completely.

Xu Yingying gazed at him in surprise, exclaiming, "How impressive!"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "The cold energy condensed by this spiritual medicine is indeed formidable."

The fusion of the essence of heaven and earth creates a breath more potent than the spiritual essence cultivated.

Xu Yingying said, "It’s you, the Princely Heir, who is impressive, extinguishing them so easily."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Everything has its counter, my cultivation technique is designed precisely to restrain them."

"Hehe, still so modest!" Xu Yingying giggled, "Is Master alright now?"

Chu Zhiyuan pursed his lips.

Xu Yingying turned to look.

Xu Suying had already changed, her complexion rosy and her demeanor vibrant, as if she had become ten years younger.

Xu Suying slowly opened her eyes, shining brilliantly.

Her eyes were already brighter than most people’s, and now they sparkled even more like stars.

"Master, how are you?" Xu Yingying asked eagerly.

Xu Suying sighed, "I feel completely relaxed, as if reborn."

"Master... it’s all my fault." Xu Yingying said.

Xu Suying held her jade hand and smiled, "Don’t talk nonsense."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Senior Xu, now if you practice the mental method that enhances your spiritual power, it should be quick."

Xu Suying nodded gently, "Can the Princely Heir’s mental method be shared?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "I too coincidentally acquired it from other sects, it’s fine to share."

Xu Suying said, "Thank you, Princely Heir."

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, "If Senior Xu ascends sooner, then Yingying can completely relax."

Xu Suying chuckled softly, "I’ve become Yingying’s heartache now, truly..."

"Mas——ter——!" Xu Yingying pouted, "What nonsense are you talking about, how did I become a heartache!"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Yingying having concerns is a good thing too."

Xu Yingying nodded eagerly, "Exactly, exactly, otherwise it would be too dull, the Main Sect is really boring."

Xu Suying said, "Don’t talk nonsense."

"It’s the truth, I didn’t say anything wrong, everyone acts out of self-interest, no matter what they do, it’s all for cultivation, if it’s not for cultivation, then they’re not interested in doing it at all."

"Before Becoming Spirit Venerable, focusing on cultivation is correct, otherwise time is wasted, and regret follows."

"But you can’t ignore everything else and only focus on cultivation. What if you fail to Become Spirit Venerable? Then it’s a wasted life, that’s truly sad."

"That’s their choice; they have to take a chance."

"But only one in ten can become Spirit Venerable in the sect, the rest are too pitiful!"

Chu Zhiyuan interjected at this point, "One Spirit Venerable among ten Divine Sect disciples?"

Xu Yingying nodded, "Yes, roughly."

Chu Zhiyuan marveled, "So many Spirit Venerables?"

Xu Yingying said, "With Divine Artifacts in our possession, achieving Spirit Venerable isn’t that difficult, but only one in ten accomplishes it, the other nine just waste their lives, it’s too unworthy!"

"One in ten..." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "No wonder they are so desperate."

To think that one Spirit Venerable could emerge from ten Divine Sect disciples is enough to drive people mad.

Among the sects he knows, none can achieve this.

Profound Yin Palace cannot achieve it, Heaven-Reaching Sect cannot achieve it, Heavenly Sword Sect cannot achieve it either.

With such a high chance of Becoming Spirit Venerable, which disciple wouldn’t give their all?

And with such high probability, it’s clear that Jiuli Divine Sect’s Main Sect has very strict requirements and very high qualifications for disciples.

How could these disciples willingly fall behind, thinking they have no hope?

They must be unconvinced, believing they are that one in ten.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Wait until you become Sect Hierarch, you can talk about these things later."

"Exactly." Xu Suying said, "You are just the Holy Daughter, don’t concern yourself with things you shouldn’t."

"Princely Heir, I’m just a figurehead Holy Daughter, without any real power."

"Not like the Holy Daughter of Yao Yue Palace?"

"Way behind Sister Xiao’s Holy Daughter, not the same at all, ... hehe, but luckily, although my power is small, my status is quite transcendental, allowing me to act freely."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "This suits you perfectly, Yingying."

"Princely Heir, if you want to seize that Divine Artifact, I can help you out."

"Help with what?" Chu Zhiyuan asked with a cheerful smile.

He didn’t mind.

He had already found the opportunity to subdue the giant tower; a few more attempts and it would be done.

But his true target was not the giant tower, but to delve deeper into refining those Twelve Stone Towers.

Enough depth is needed to hopefully find the Taixu Tower behind the stone tower.

The Taixu Tower is the real objective.

Even if you subdue more stone towers, they remain mere stone towers, they can’t become the Taixu Tower.

Currently, all Spirit Venerables are tricked into circles, treating the giant tower as the Taixu Tower.

Those who know this isn’t the Taixu Tower are probably few and far between.

After all, Spirit Venerables found the giant tower because of the Divine Artifact’s guidance.

No one would suspect the guidance isn’t the real Divine Artifact.

To doubt this giant tower isn’t the Divine Artifact is akin to doubting the Divine Artifact’s accuracy, moreover, it’s all Divine Artifacts making the same mistake.

This is too unbelievable.

Moreover, the current power shown by the giant tower easily overwhelms all Spirit Venerables’ powers, making them believe it’s the Divine Artifact even more.

Xu Yingying laughed, "I have a Strange Stone called Sentiment Stone that can enhance intimacy between Spiritual Artifacts and people, speeding up refining."

As she spoke, she took out a crystal-clear egg-sized pebble from her sleeve.

This egg-sized pebble seemed to have a stream of clear water flowing inside it, faintly flashing with light.

She passed it to Chu Zhiyuan, "Just place this Sentiment Stone on the Spiritual Artifact, and when you refine it, it’ll quickly succeed."

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, "Such a Strange Stone exists."

"Yes, it’s a witty stone targeting the spirituality of Spiritual Artifacts, putting the spirituality in a tipsy state, just like us drinking alcohol."

"Hmm... in a tipsy state, they let down their guard, feeling particularly close to the other party."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

This is human nature, does the spirituality of a Spiritual Artifact also show such phenomena?

"Anyway, this Strange Stone is quite clever." Xu Yingying laughed, "I only got two pieces, used one, and kept this one for you."

"Great." Chu Zhiyuan accepted happily, "I need this."

Xu Yingying said, "Princely Heir, do you want to use it to subdue the Taixu Tower? I’m afraid there’s no chance, you can’t approach the Taixu Tower, it’s too powerful!"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and shook his head, "I’ll think of other ways."

"What ways?" Xu Yingying asked curiously.

Xu Suying said, "Yingying."

Xu Yingying giggled, "Princely Heir, am I asking too much?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Xu Yingying said, "Alright, then I won’t ask, do you need anything else?"

"Is there anything else?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "Things like this Strange Stone are always welcome."

"Hmm..." Xu Yingying tilted her head to think, then pulled two stones from her sleeve.

Both stones were egg-sized.

One was pitch black like charcoal, the other was golden and dazzling.

Chu Zhiyuan curiously examined them, not rushing to use the Divine Eye to see.

"This one is the Breaking Element Spirit Stone." Xu Yingying pointed at the pitch-black stone, "It can break all Protective Gang Qi and spiritual essence."

Chu Zhiyuan respectfully nodded.

Xu Yingying then pointed at the golden stone, "This is the God-breaking Spiritual Stone, it can break spiritual power, no matter how strong, it can’t withstand its strike!"
