Imperial Cultivation Chapter 1694: Resurrection

Three figures shot into the distance like three strands of blue light.

Shen Hanyue turned her head and used sound transmission into secret: “The Princely Heir misled me!”

Xiao Ruoling also turned to look back, seeing no White Tiger chasing them, she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “He certainly didn’t predict it accurately.”

Zhou Qingyu said, “Master, is it this White Tiger you’re referring to?”

In Master’s words, the White Tiger and the White Ape were quite similar. It seemed as if the White Ape was not inferior to the White Tiger.

However, the White Ape was cunning, fast, and strong, but it did not have such a presence, nor was it this terrifying.

That tiger roar just now was enough to set one’s blood boiling and cause one’s vision to go dark.

If it had pounced at the opportunity just now, I would have been powerless to defend and would have been swallowed in one bite.

It’s too terrifying!

“It definitely isn’t this White Tiger!” Shen Hanyue said, “This White Tiger is much more formidable than the White Ape, isn’t it, Senior Sister?”

Xiao Ruoling nodded, “It might be because the White Ape is cunning and didn’t really fight us to the death.”

“Toying with us?” Shen Hanyue frowned.

Xiao Ruoling said, “Their speed is much faster. If they really fought desperately, we might not be able to gain the upper hand.”

Shen Hanyue angrily said, “I wish they would come close for a hand-to-hand fight!”

She had always been holding a grudge in her chest, wishing the White Ape would come forward so she could fiercely settle accounts with them and vent her anger.

“Maybe we would still suffer,” Xiao Ruoling said.

Shen Hanyue was confident, “There’s no way they can be more exquisite than our swordsmanship.”

“Master Aunt, Aunt, this is not good!” Zhou Qingyu hurriedly said.

The two women looked up in response.

Above them in the void stood that White Tiger.

Its entire body of smooth fur seemed to be silver-plated, shimmering in the sunlight.

It was as if the wind was constantly blowing over it, causing the sleek and smooth fur to tremble continuously, sparkling like it was wearing a silver satin.

The two women came to a sudden halt.

The White Tiger stood thirty meters in the air, its lantern-like tiger eyes looking down at the three of them.

It suddenly lifted its head and let out a roar once more.

“Woo…”

The roar reverberated through the void, and the air surged like waves.

They were immediately dazed and couldn’t stand steadily.

Their red lips bitten through, they subconsciously summoned their Spiritual Essence to protect themselves with a layer of clear Spirit Armor covering their bodies to resist the roar’s impact.

This roar was continuous and relentless, and the Spirit Armor shattered shortly after appearing.

“Poof, poof, poof!”

The three women simultaneously spat out a blood arrow several times, and their spirits wilted instantly.

Their mind-protecting items could not function at this moment.

They could only rely on their spiritual power to withstand this roar’s impact.

It was like being a drifting leaf boat in stormy seas, on the verge of capsizing and destruction.

At this moment, they could only rely on themselves and care for themselves.

Xiao Ruoling tightly grasped Zhou Qingyu’s fair wrist, wanting to offer her some aid, yet her strength was insufficient.

Zhou Qingyu’s red lips were already bitten through, her eyes slightly closed, a flash of spirit light—she recalled something she had inadvertently learned.

She freed herself from Xiao Ruoling’s jade hand, forming seals with both hands and pressing them on her forehead.

With the Great Demon Suppressing Seal’s enhancement, her spirit steadied, and she then formed seals and pressed them on the foreheads of the two women.

The two women also felt invigorated, their bodies ceasing to shake.

She found that the three of them were leaning against each other, forming a stable structure without collapsing.

The White Tiger squatted in the void, lazily swaying its long, straight tail, its gaze condescendingly amused.

Seeing them steady themselves, it slightly opened its mouth.

“Not good!” Shen Hanyue cried out, “It’s going to roar again!”

She drew her sword and turned into a streak of clear light shooting towards the White Tiger.

Xiao Ruoling, seeing this, could only draw her sword to assist.

Zhou Qingyu could only also make a move.

Three blue lights shot towards the White Tiger, only to be met with a light swipe of its tail.

“Snap!”

With a crisp sound, a rift in the void appeared, right in front of them.

They had no time to avoid it, so they had to brace themselves to charge forward.

The sword light surged, and the power accumulated to attack the White Tiger could only be prematurely released.

When the sword light collided with the rift, it instantly vanished. Ferocious power conducted through the sword’s body, though they did their best to deflect it, strong energy still invaded their bodies.

The three of them were thrown back, spewing blood upward, tracing three arcs before falling towards the treetops.

“Crack!”

“Crash…”

The three broke the branches’ leaves but couldn’t snap the branches themselves.

These lush, dark almost to black ancient trees were extraordinarily resilient.

They hung from the treetops, their bodies limp, overpowering energy still ravaging internally.

“Senior Sister, the Princely Heir misled me!” Shen Hanyue let out a long sigh.

Xiao Ruoling pursed her lips, smiling as she shook her head.

Savage power ravaged within, each part felt as if being shredded by knives, a brutal ordeal.

But their spirits were stable, their minds clear and unaffected.

This was the wondrous effect of the Great Demon Suppressing Seal.

Zhou Qingyu said, “Master Aunt, Aunt, we can’t get close to it.”

She shook her head and said, “To survive in this Grotto Heaven, one must still master the Flying Knife.”

Shen Hanyue said, “Indeed, it’s a major oversight that the Princely Heir didn’t teach you the Flying Knife.”

Xiao Ruoling said, “Junior Sister, if you say that in front of my husband, I will admire you.”

“Hmph, of course, I wouldn’t dare,” Shen Hanyue said, “Every decision the Princely Heir makes has profound meaning!”

The key is he can see further than us, of course, he can see what the best decision for now is clearly.

Not having Zhou Qingyu learn the Flying Knife was certainly not a mistake but with deeper meaning.

Zhou Qingyu looked at the White Tiger in the air, “Master Aunt, Aunt, it seems it doesn’t intend to kill us.”

“Mm.”

The two women nodded.

They had already seen through it.

If the White Tiger had set its mind on killing them, it wouldn’t have stopped after roaring, a few consecutive roars would have been enough to shake them unconscious.

After that tail swipe, it neither continued to attack but squatted in mid-air, watching them in amusement.

It obviously wasn’t trying to kill them but treating them as toys to pass the time.

“Let’s escape,” Zhou Qingyu said, “We can’t beat it.”

“We probably can’t escape,” Shen Hanyue said, “Otherwise, let’s scatter and ask the Princely Heir for help.”

“I’ll take Qingyu,” Xiao Ruoling said.

“I’ll take Qingyu,” Shen Hanyue said, “Senior Sister, you can escape more quickly.”

If this White Tiger intends to chase, it will undoubtedly first pursue the pair, not the individual.

“Master Aunt, Aunt, wouldn’t it be better if we each run in a different direction?”

“Silly girl, how would you escape!” Shen Hanyue said.

Zhou Qingyu doesn’t have a Spirit Shuttle and wouldn’t have the chance to escape.

Zhou Qingyu said, “When Master arrives, I will naturally be safe.”

“…Fine, then we’ll split!” Shen Hanyue turned to look at Xiao Ruoling.

Xiao Ruoling looked at Zhou Qingyu, “If it really comes after you, prioritize your life.”

“Don’t worry, Master Aunt.”

“Go!” Xiao Ruoling shouted.

The three women turned into three wisps of blue light shooting in different directions.

But just as they reached the air, they saw a flash of white light followed by a “snap,” a void rift appeared in front of them again.

Unable to avoid in time, they could only swing their swords at the rift, then were thrown back again, heavily landing atop the forest below.

It ended up in the exact position they had previously been hanging on the tree branches, unchanged.

At this moment, Chu Zhiyuan sat quietly in the small courtyard of the Profound Yin Palace, watching the situation within the Inner Universe, gently sipping his tea, shaking his head.

They had formidable power yet failed to unleash it fully.

What about the Array?

The secret techniques to stimulate potential?

They’d grown too accustomed to peaceful days, without the decisive courage to fight to the death in battle.

This time, they must endure hardship and forge resilience.

Moreover, within the Inner Universe, they could be saved even at the verge of crisis.

Besides…

His gaze fell upon an old White Ape in a certain mountain cave.

This old White Ape lay upon a rock, its eyes closed, breath weak and intermittent, on the verge of death.

Dozens of White Apes knelt before the rock, watching it in sorrow.

The White Ape’s breathing suddenly stopped, the abdomen ceased moving.

Seeing this, dozens of White Apes began to wail in grief.

But then a white light descended, landing accurately on the White Ape’s head.

The next moment, the White Ape’s abdomen began to rise and fall again, its suspended breathing resumed.

They stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

Then their eyes widened even more as the old White Ape opened its eyes and sat up with ease.
