Xiao Ruoling sighed softly.
Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Ruoyu is already doing well, not everyone is like us."
Xiao Ruoling chuckled, "I am too demanding."
She was dissatisfied with Xiao Ruoyu’s progress, feeling that his cultivation was too slow and his comprehension too poor.
She thought he was not focused, not truly devoted to cultivation, and had too many distracting thoughts.
She took Chu Zhiyuan inside the painted boat.
The painted boat gently drifted away from the shore, slowly floating on the lake.
Xiao Ruoling made tea, and as they drank it, they admired the bright moon outside the boat and chatted leisurely.
She spoke of her worries, feeling stuck in her progress, and her advancent was slowing down.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head.
The martial arts of the Profound Yin Palace are profound and remarkably powerful, but not sothing that can be mastered quickly.
The disciples of the Profound Yin Palace remain youthful and have long lifespans, and their martial arts progression isn’t rapid.
Having mastered the Taiyin Great Refining Form, her cultivation advancent was already extrely fast.
After the Taiyin Great Refining Form, her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds for a while, but now it is slowing down.
This is because she is about to break through to a higher realm, a leap in her life’s journey, and the slowdown is natural.
She then asked Chu Zhiyuan about his worries, listened to his story about the secret technique, and laughed, shaking her head.
This is a matter of common knowledge.
The relationship between the Court and the Four Great Sects is delicate. If they give him a secret technique that no one else can master, and he succeeds, his prestige would greatly increase, enhancing the prestige of the Four Great Sects as well.
If all the geniuses in the world flock to the Four Great Sects, would that be acceptable?
Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "In the world’s affairs, nothing is impossible."
"It’s impossible," Xiao Ruoling said with a charming smile.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "The world is unpredictable, often surprising, so we still need to try."
Xiao Ruoling laughed, "All along your journey, you’ve often turned the impossible into possible, maybe this ti will be the sa."
"This depends on luck," Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "but that’s what makes it interesting."
Xiao Ruoling said, "Can’t Li help?"
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "She is now with the Imperial Family, speaking out of turn could be detrintal."
Xiao Ruoling sighed lightly, "Bloodline, such an enviable thing."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Bloodlines do have their advantages, but they also co with constraints, you can’t just cultivate anything you want, unlike the freedom we have."
Xiao Ruoling shook her head, "This bit of freedom is insignificant compared to the benefits of cultivation."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
That much is undeniable, the Phoenix Bloodline indeed has great advantages, being Heaven and Earth’s favored child.
Xiao Ruoling said, "I searched the secret vault in the palace, and the top-tier spirit secret techniques are all hidden and can’t be viewed freely, too dangerous."
Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, "Your spirit secret techniques are not worth it. If you have to cultivate, then cultivate the Court’s ones; only then can you gain all the advantages."
Otherwise, it would be like the Demon Suppressing Saber, famous but not as beneficial.
Without widespread acknowledgnt, the increase in rit and prestige is not sufficient.
"Isn’t there anything in our Imperial Treasury?" Xiao Ruoling said, "Isn’t there ancient treasures too?"
Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "I am practicing one now; it might be powerful enough to use."
The second layer of the Heavenly Yuan Technique, what’s so mystical about it is hard to say; it might unexpectedly be incredibly strong.
But currently, the key is that the second layer of the Human Elent Skill hasn’t been mastered yet.
Master the second layer of the Human Elent Skill first, then you can practice the second layer of the Heavenly Yuan Technique; the sequence cannot be disrupted.
"Then take it slowly," Xiao Ruoling said, "and I have good news, I’ve found the location of You ng Heaven."
Chu Zhiyuan imdiately felt invigorated.
Xiao Ruoling said, "There are three sisters from You ng Heaven in the palace."
Chu Zhiyuan was further energized: "Can you go over and take a look?"
He really wanted to go but knew the request was too much, so he settled for letting Xiao Ruoling take a look instead.
Xiao Ruoling said, "I happened to et one of the sisters yesterday, and she agreed to take to You ng Heaven for a visit."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
Xiao Ruoling said, "Are you not going to cultivate the Court’s secret technique, using it to kill the Undying Evil Venerables, but instead plan to chase them directly in You ng Heaven?"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Knowing their location, dealing with them using secret techniques becos easier."
Xiao Ruoling nodded, "Alright, I’ll take the Flying Knife with ."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
——
Early the next morning, Chu Zhiyuan first went to the Sect Leader’s Hall to bid farewell to Lu Wanshan, then returned to the Heavenly Sword Branch.
Within the Heavenly Sword Branch, he patiently refined the Golden Sword.
At the sa ti, Zhu Lingyun sat cross-legged in a cave, lounging lazily while observing the Main Altar of the Wanxiang Sect.
The main altar of the Wanxiang Sect was in the midst of a fierce battle.
Upon hearing that the information ca directly from Chu Zhiyuan, Zhou Chongming, ng Xusheng, and Qi Qingi didn’t hesitate and took action imdiately.
They sneaked near the main altar of the Wanxiang Sect during the night, rested for half the night, and struck at dawn.
Knowing all the chanisms of the main altar, the appearances and cultivation levels of the Wanxiang Sect’s experts, as well as their techniques, the Four Sects’ experts overwheld them completely.
Within a short period, only sporadic roars remained in the valley where the Wanxiang Sect was located.
In the midst of the fight, only Sect Master Ji Qingyun and three elders remained, excluding Zheng Pingzhang.
Zheng Pingzhang had already been killed, completely dead.
Zhu Lingyun felt nothing but satisfaction over his death, without any reluctance.
Zheng Pingzhang appeared honest and simple but was too calculating and greedy, which always annoyed him.
Moreover, he deserved to die long ago, having killed many innocent people.
He watched the experts of the Wanxiang Sect fall one by one, feeling imnse satisfaction.
Ji Qingyun’s face was as dark as iron, his palms moving as hand seals enveloped him, with several wounds on his body bleeding profusely.
He barely managed a few moves under Qi Qingi’s Bright Moon Divine Sword, already at his limit.
If it weren’t for possessing treasures that blocked most of the attacks, he would have been killed by now.
He was filled with confusion and unwillingness, roaring, "How did you know this place?"
Qi Qingi swung the Bright Moon Divine Sword, her face tense.
Zhou Chongming and the others attacked the remaining three elders, and no one responded, only his roars echoed in the valley.
Zhu Lingyun shook his head upon seeing this.
The situation was settled, the Wanxiang Sect ultimately didn’t cause any upheaval.
However, where was the treasure?
The treasure Ji Qingyun and Zheng Pingzhang spoke of, why hasn’t it appeared?
This was what concerned him the most.
It must not fall into others’ hands; otherwise, it would pose a great threat to him.
He patiently waited to see when Ji Qingyun would use the treasure.
...
anwhile, Chu Zhiyuan sat cross-legged on the bed in his bedroom, refining the Golden Sword.
After the Golden Sword absorbed the Undying Golden Essence, it continuously grew stronger.
But the Undying Golden Essence brought with it so distractions, which were the purest of intentions that he needed to cleanse little by little, keeping the Golden Sword’s spiritual nature pure.
Indiscriminate absorption, without spending ti and effort to cleanse it, would eventually make it discordant with his heart and mind, possibly even turning against him.
Whenever he had ti, he would refine the Golden Sword, making it purer and boosting its spiritual nature.
After refining the Golden Sword, he concentrated on visualizing the Spiritual Abyss Twelve Peaks in the Lao Gong Acupoint.
In the Jade Sea and Sky, at the edge of the vast sea, the Spiritual Abyss Twelve Peaks erged.
The waves crashed against the Spiritual Abyss Twelve Peaks.
Compared to the islands in the sea, the Spiritual Abyss Twelve Peaks were towering and majestic, with an all-encompassing grandeur.
As he was visualizing, he suddenly frowned, and his heart and spirit quickly entered Zhu Lingyun’s body.
Through Zhu Lingyun’s Insight, he saw Ji Qingyun being blasted into the air.
The Bright Moon Divine Sword sliced lightly, and Ji Qingyun’s right arm fell from his body.
"Alright, alright, alright!" Ji Qingyun gritted his teeth mid-air, "You forced my hand!"
His left sleeve shook, and an item slid out, a crystal clear round bead rolling into his left palm.
In the brilliant morning golden light, the round bead radiated dazzling golden rays, splendid and eye-catching.
