Imperial Cultivation Chapter 1704 - 1700: Obtained

He weighed the sword and knife in his hand, then turned his head and said, "Does this sword and knife belong to me now?"

Huang Zhengyang replied, "Brother Chu, if you want them, just take them."

Chu Zhiyuan placed the sword and knife in the box, closed it, and then tucked the box into his sleeve.

The box, one meter square, disappeared into his sleeve.

Huang Zhengyang wasn’t surprised, knowing that he had storage-type Spiritual Treasures; otherwise, there would be no place for so many Flying Knives.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Alright, I’ve taken the items, so now I’ll go to the Divine Domain for a tour and see if I can find Divine Blood."

"If you can truly find it, the Court will definitely not skimp on the rewards," Huang Zhengyang said quickly.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, "What else can the Court reward me with?"

Huang Zhengyang replied, "There are still some good things within the Court, especially during this exploration of the Divine Domain."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Huang Zhengyang said, "Besides the things of the Divine Race, there are also Spiritual Treasures among the rest."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile, "How about this, give me a title."

Huang Zhengyang was taken aback.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I don’t need an official position, just a title, a nominal one will do."

"This..." Huang Zhengyang hesitated, "Brother Chu, what kind of title do you want?"

"Why not give me some land?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "At least give me a mountain."

"A mountain?" Huang Zhengyang asked with growing curiosity, "Why do you want a mountain, Brother Chu?"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "To have my own place to live freely and unconstrained; it shouldn’t be difficult for the Court, right?"

"A mountain..." Huang Zhengyang thought this wasn’t much at all.

Biyuan Heaven was vast with few people, and there were countless well-known mountains, let alone numerous barren ones.

Not to mention anything else, just around the Heavenly Sword Peak there were countless peaks.

If he settled on a mountain, built a dwelling, and didn’t want others to know, no one would know.

Even if he wanted to monopolize it, the Court wouldn’t intervene much.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "It’s best if it’s a famous mountain, and preferably close enough to the Imperial City."

"Like this..." Huang Zhengyang pondered, "I’ll inquire about it, shouldn’t be a problem."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Brother Huang, you go ahead and ask, I’m going to the Divine Domain."

"Okay." Huang Zhengyang replied.

...

Chu Zhiyuan appeared inside the Elephant Beast’s Cave Mansion.

The Elephant Beast was perched on his shoulder, its tail lightly wagging, and hummed, "Are you really going to give them the Divine Blood?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "If it can be found, then indeed, give it to them."

The Elephant Beast said, "With such records, I might know the location of the Divine Blood, it might be found in certain places."

Chu Zhiyuan’s spirits lifted, "There really is Divine Blood?"

The Elephant Beast replied, "I have never seen Divine Blood, so I’m not sure if it is."

"Then let’s take a look." Chu Zhiyuan said.

"Let’s go."

It transformed into a beam of white light and shot out.

Chu Zhiyuan followed closely, turning into a beam of blue light to follow.

The white and blue lights trailed two residual shadows, quickly disappearing in the distance.

They stopped at a cliff three hundred miles away.

Chu Zhiyuan looked down at the valley below.

The valley was lush and dense, like ink.

The Spiritual Energy was abundant and rich, far surpassing that outside the valley.

"Could there be Divine Blood here?"

The Elephant Beast asked while its eyes turned into golden lines scanning.

After a moment, it closed its eyes, "I can’t see anything, ... the more I can’t see, the more likely it could be Divine Blood!"

If it were a regular Spiritual Treasure, it would be unlikely to evade its Golden Eye.

Something able to evade its Golden Eye is often something of exceptionally high caliber, a belonging of the Divine Race.

Divine Blood is one such thing.

Chu Zhiyuan spoke slowly, "Let’s take a closer look."

He drifted downwards, arriving at the center of the valley.

At the very center was a pond, roughly thirty meters in diameter.

The pond water was mostly obscured by dense vegetation, leaving only a small part clear, easily overlooked.

Chu Zhiyuan stopped above the pond water.

The Elephant Beast continued peering downward with golden-lined eyes but saw nothing.

Several streaks of white light flew out from Chu Zhiyuan’s sleeve, diving into the pond water.

Moments later, these streaks of white light shot out from the pond again, stopping before Chu Zhiyuan.

The streaks of white light were holding a jade ball the size of a fist.

The green jade ball seemed to have a spring flowing inside, emanating a gentle luster.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at the Elephant Beast, "Is this it?"

The Elephant Beast frowned, scrutinizing it with gold-lined eyes again.

After a moment, it shook its head, "I’m not sure if it is."

Chu Zhiyuan extended his left palm.

The streaks of white light carried the green jade ball, placing it in his left palm.

Divine Essence slowly injected into the ball.

"Buzz..." The jade ball suddenly emitted a golden light.

"Ah!" The Elephant Beast screamed, flashed, and burrowed into the Inner Universe.

It fell onto the Dragon Tree, covering its eyes forcefully, its body trembling continuously.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

The Inner Universe clearly revealed that golden light was swirling around its eyeballs.

Two small clusters of golden light swayed gently, like flames dancing in the wind.

Chu Zhiyuan’s mind moved.

A streak of white light descended from the sky onto the Elephant Beast’s forehead, diving into its eyes, beginning to entwine with the golden light.

The white and golden lights rapidly diminished, the white light weakening, the golden light following suit.

After a moment, both lights extinguished.

The Elephant Beast let out a sigh of relief, its body ceased trembling.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

The Inner Universe had already disclosed this golden light.

This golden light was distinct from Spiritual Essence, different from Divine Essence, it was a unique force, yet exceptionally pure.

He had never encountered such a unique force, so pure and distinct, that Divine Essence alone couldn’t quench it.

If it weren’t for the Inner Universe, there indeed would have been no means of dealing with it.

Having returned to normal, the Elephant Beast suddenly jumped up on the Dragon Tree, "What the hell is this thing?!"

Chu Zhiyuan’s voice resonated in its mind, "Not Divine Blood?"

"How could Divine Blood be like this?!" The Elephant Beast huffed.

Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes suddenly brightened, activating the Divine Eye to its limits.

Given his current Emperor cultivation, using the Divine Eye should have been easy.

Yet this time, he prompted the Divine Essence and spiritual power, pushing the Divine Eye to its extreme to see clearly what this jade ball truly was.

Moments later, he appeared pale, slowly saying, "It’s indeed Divine Blood."

"Truly Divine Blood?" The Elephant Beast asked, "Why is it so peculiar?"

"This Divine Blood contains tremendous power within," Chu Zhiyuan explained, "Previously, that was Purifying Divine Light, eradicating all non-divine race energy, ... now it’s fine, you can come out."

Divine Blood is not only a carrier of power but also a carrier of memory.

Through Divine Blood, one can inherit power and memories.

Once prompted with Divine Essence, it will trigger Purifying Divine Light, removing foreign energies so that its power and memories can be inherited.

The Elephant Beast flickered and appeared on his shoulder, curiously inspecting the green jade ball, "We found Divine Blood on our first try, are we this lucky?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "It really is luck, Divine Blood indeed..."

For most people, seeing this Divine Blood, they would only treat it as an external object.

But he was different; having mastered Divine Essence and possessing the Taixu Tower.

He thought he could try to see if he could inherit the power and memories within this Divine Blood.

If he could truly inherit it, not only would his cultivation soar, but he could also fully understand the truth and secrets of the Divine Race.

The reality of the Divine Race had always been of great concern to him.

What really lies in the Ancestral Land, will it return to the Divine Domain, can its power reach beyond the Divine Domain?

Without understanding these, even if he becomes an Emperor, he cannot feel at ease.

And now, the chance to thoroughly understand the Divine Race is right in front of him.

The Elephant Beast seeing him staring at the green jade ball, said, "Are you going to give this to the Court?"

Chu Zhiyuan looked at it.

The Elephant Beast continued, "Isn’t it a shame to give it to the Court without understanding it?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded and explained his plan.

The Elephant Beast’s tail stopped moving instantly.

It opposed this approach, deeming it too dangerous.
