Imperial Cultivation Chapter 1690: Ascension to Emperor

Chapter 1690: Chapter 1686: Ascension to Emperor

He never imagined that the Taixu True Scripture actually had a second half.

From the contents of the Taixu True Scripture, it seemed complete, without any shortcomings.

The Taixu True Scripture was passed down by the Inheritance Hall and should not be lacking.

Moreover, he had become accustomed to being cautious, and he had verified everything before practicing, pondering thoroughly without finding any issues.

Now, a second half of the Taixu True Scripture had appeared.

Golden light flickered, and the Divine Language evolved into scenes of cultivation one after another.

He immersed his Heart and Spirit within it, feeling as if he was right there, cultivating within those scenes.

He cultivated atop the mountain in the morning, bathed in the purple glow, and in the evening he cultivated atop the tree, bathed in the twilight glow.

At times, he dived into the seabed, breathing within the silence of thousands, and at other times, stood in the storm, maintaining heart tranquility beneath the raindrops of thousands.

At times, he stood within the wild wind, breathing through it, and at other times, found himself beneath the thunder, entering a trance amidst the trembling fear.

Both his body and spirit were subjected to tempering, and in these extreme conditions, the Taixu True Scripture operated continuously, like an ever-flowing river.

The extreme environment made the Taixu True Scripture increasingly pure and refined, unshakable.

Unknowingly, he felt he had cultivated for a long time, as if for thousands and thousands of years.

Yet it also felt like a mere instant.

His sense of time had been completely disrupted, becoming uncertain, no longer constant.

When he leisurely opened his eyes, his gaze became as deep as an abyss, seemingly never reaching the deepest point.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

He felt the world before him had changed, becoming blurry, as if everything had a double image.

Yet the state of these shadows was not the same as their original forms.

Like the twelve Stone Towers before him, their shadows were shrinking, and the next shadow was empty, having vanished from its original position.

He immediately understood what this was.

These were their transformations.

The previous changes, and the future changes, both were simultaneously displayed before him.

The overlapping images caused blurriness, making him uncomfortable.

But as long as he concentrated his gaze, the blurry image suddenly became clear, transforming into a scene in flux.

Another thought caused the scene to shift from dynamic to static, becoming extremely clear, vivid in detail.

This clarity was not just a matter of fine details, but a comprehensive view, with insight into its interior.

He thoughtfully withdrew his gaze.

This situation felt somewhat familiar, and he quickly adapted to it.

When the Divine Eye was formed at first, it also exhibited such anomalies.

Now, with the completion of the Taixu True Scripture, such anomalies appeared again.

Thinking about this, he attempted to activate his Divine Eye and discovered something unusual.

Originally, activating the Divine Eye would cause his spiritual power to surge like a flood breaking through a dam.

Initially, he needed a Clone’s help, but later his spiritual power grew stronger, barely supporting without needing a Clone’s aid.

Yet now, activating the Divine Eye, the consumption of spiritual power was vastly different.

The Divine Eye seemed to have become his true eyes, becoming an instinct.

The spiritual power consumed was akin to gazing far or carefully discerning small traces.

Is this a Divine Skill brought by the Taixu True Scripture, or a result of his Realm’s change?

He smiled.

It’s the Realm!

Has he achieved the Emperor Realm?

He never expected it to be so easy.

Even less expected, the key to achieving the Emperor Realm was hidden upon the Taixu Tower.

With joy in his heart, he continued to activate the Taixu True Scripture, and thus sensed something unusual.

The aura projected by the Taixu True Scripture was no longer as thin as hair but as thick as a baby’s arm.

The aura transmitted from the Taixu Tower merged with his own Taixu True Scripture, forming a strange new aura, continuously washing over and transforming his body, leaping toward a higher level.

This change was subtle, yet continual and unending.

He shook his head and looked down at his arm.

Stepping into the Emperor Realm did not instantly transform his physique, but merely unlocked the chains, stripping away invisible constraints.

His physique was no longer at a standstill, maintaining only what was before, unable to advance further no matter how he operated.

This sense of despair led to losing the greatest motivation for cultivation.

Suddenly, a thought of Xiao Ruoling crossed his mind.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ruoling was speaking with Zhou Qingyu in the pavilion within the small courtyard.

Suddenly feeling something, she turned her head to look around.

As the sunset fell, the small courtyard was filled with rosy light, everything dyed rose-red.

Within the courtyard, besides herself and Zhou Qingyu, Chu Zhiyuan was nowhere to be seen.

Yet she clearly felt Chu Zhiyuan was watching.

“Shi Niang, what’s wrong?” Zhou Qingyu curiously asked, blinking large eyes.

“Did you see your Master?” Xiao Ruoling asked.

“Master?” Zhou Qingyu quickly said, “Master!”

She felt Chu Zhiyuan’s gaze coming through, watching them.

Upon speaking, she exclaimed, “How peculiar!”

Clearly, Chu Zhiyuan’s gaze was directed at her, but he was not in the courtyard.

She looked up at the rainbow-like sky and saw no Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan said, “I am in the Divine Domain, Qingyu, will you return tonight?”

“Master, I won’t be going back.” Zhou Qingyu said, “My younger brother is being reprimanded these days, so I won’t join the commotion.”

Her parents disapproved of her younger brother’s lack of progress, neglecting his studies, and forbade him from playing around at night.

Though they saw the pain on his face and felt deeply sorry, they couldn’t relent, fearing they would lose control forever.

They vented their frustration upon her, showing irritation both in demeanor and speech.

Chu Zhiyuan said, “Alright, then spend the night with your Shi Niang.”

“Yes, Master.” Zhou Qingyu agreed briskly, then asked, “Master, what kind of Miracle Technique are you using?”

“This is the skill of an Emperor.” Chu Zhiyuan said.

“Emperor?!” Zhou Qingyu’s eyes sparkled, “Master, you’ve reached the Emperor Realm?”

Xiao Ruoling softly said, “Is this the Emperor? Can you traverse the Void?”

“Breaking the constraints of time and space grants freedom.” Chu Zhiyuan laughed, “This is finally something substantial.”

“Emperor…” Xiao Ruoling sighed, “I never thought one could actually achieve the Emperor Realm.”

In the next moment, Chu Zhiyuan suddenly appeared in the courtyard in front of the two women.

“Master!” Zhou Qingyu rose and saluted, curiously examining him up and down.

Xiao Ruoling’s bright eyes also appraised Chu Zhiyuan, smiling gently, “It seems nothing has changed.”

Instead, his aura appeared softer, and he didn’t seem to have changed at all.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, “This is just the beginning, it’s a new start, allowing further refinement upwards.”

“Then what lies beyond the Emperor Realm?”

“I’m afraid that’s unattainable.” Chu Zhiyuan said, “It’s difficult for any further breakthrough in Realm.”

This was his intuitive sense.

He trusted these intuitive senses deeply.

Zhou Qingyu asked, “Master, what powers do Emperors possess?”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, “I’ll have to explore this myself slowly.”

Zhou Qingyu said, “Can you resurrect the deceased?”

Chu Zhiyuan pondered and shook his head.

Xiao Ruoling looked at him in surprise.

Chu Zhiyuan said, “In Little Heaven Beyond, if someone has died within seven days, I can bring them back, but here, it’s impossible.”

He initially practiced the Yin Yang Du E Secret Scripture, learned from Cheng Miaozhen.

But that involved the death and life energies between heaven and earth, and once outside Little Heaven Beyond, the Cultivation Technique lost its effect.

“That’s unfortunate…” Zhou Qingyu sighed with disappointment.

Xiao Ruoling said, “Qingyu, who do you wish to resurrect?”

“A friend who died ten years ago.” Zhou Qingyu said.

“Ten years,” Chu Zhiyuan said, “Too long ago. Even if my secret technique worked, such a long time makes it impossible; the bones have long rotted, and the soul has already reincarnated.”

Zhou Qingyu sighed, nodding her head.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Even Emperors are not omnipotent, especially in resurrection, which involves the cosmic order, more severe than altering the Heavenly Mechanism upon observing it.
