Chapter 410: Chapter 407: Secret
Chu Zhiyuan was surprised and said with a smile, “I originally thought Your Highness’s inheritance was in the Forbidden Palace Secret Vault or in the Library Pavilion.”
“Forbidden Palace Secret Vault?” Cheng Miaozhen chuckled, gently shook her head, with a trace of coldness at the corners of her mouth.
The Inspection Departnt knew very little about Cheng Miaozhen; after all, before this, although she was beautiful, she was not well-known.
Because of Consort Shu, this Princess was not favored in the Imperial Palace and was quite neglected.
If it were the Princely Heir, the Inspection Departnt would have paid attention, but she was just a princess, almost destined to be unknown in the future.
There was no need to waste energy on her.
Therefore, he saw very little information about her in the Inspection Departnt, just a general idea.
After eting her, after getting along, he found that the Inspection Departnt’s judgnt was unreliable.
Calm and gentle was just her disguise, just a shell ford to protect herself.
In fact, she had a rather intense personality, only becoming calm under the influence of her ntal thod.
But a change of kingdom is easier than a change of personality; the Yin Yang Sect’s ntal thod is profound, but it cannot completely change her character.
After using the secret technique together this ti to save Consort Shu, she dropped most of her guard toward him, no longer concealing her feelings.
Obviously, to her, only Consort Shu gave her warmth in the palace; there was no warmth elsewhere to speak of.
Zhu Caifu said, “If it were a prince, they could access the Secret Vault, but as a princess, she cannot enter the Secret Vault.”
Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, “Even I, as the Princely Heir, cannot enter the Secret Vault. If I want sothing, I have to earn rit points and exchange them at the Heavenly Treasure Departnt.”
“Heh,” Zhu Caifu shook her head, “you Da Jing people…”
She felt only Da Jing was peculiar, being so harsh with its own Imperial Family disciples.
Da Zhen and Da ng, as well as so smaller countries, all allow their princes and princely heirs to ask for whatever they want, provided amply with whatever they desired.
All cultivation resources are the best, fearing they aren’t enough or good enough.
Yet Da Jing’s princes and princely heirs must earn rit points themselves to exchange at the Heavenly Treasure Departnt, which is simply laughable.
“Honestly,” Zhu Caifu sighed, “achieving what you have today is truly not easy.”
Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, “Perhaps because I have enough talent and luck, but even with those, it doesn’t compare to Your Highness’s.”
“I don’t have your aptitude.” Cheng Miaozhen gently shook her head. “It took a year to get started on the Yin Yang Return to Void Technique, while the Yin Yang Du E Secret Scripture took several years to master.”
“That’s different.” Chu Zhiyuan laughed. “I absorbed a wide variety of martial arts and saw many Grandmaster’s Martial Arts Notes. Then, contemplating this technique is equivalent to standing on their shoulders, while Your Highness comprehended it alone, it’s not the sa.”
Zhu Caifu laughed, “That’s true, not to ntion anything else, just the amount of inheritance the Princely Heir learned was not the sa as back then.”
She turned to look at Chu Zhiyuan, “I found a knife in the Da Zhen Secret Vault, which belonged to a Sword Lord from twenty thousand years ago, let’s see if you like it.”
As she spoke, she disappeared in a flash.
When she reappeared a mont later, she was holding a long knife.
The scabbard was ancient and colorful, evoking a sense of ti and age at a glance.
The scabbard style is entirely different from today’s, exuding an ancient air.
She handed the long knife to Chu Zhiyuan, “Take a look; I couldn’t see anything special about it, maybe you can notice sothing different.”
Chu Zhiyuan laughed, “Sword Lord? Quite a grand title.”
“The path of cultivation back then was different from now, nowadays there are no more Sword Lords or Sword Kings, it’s all about realms.”
“The Sword Lord’s knife… what’s its na?”
“Seems it was called Zhou Jing’an.”
Chu Zhiyuan thought for a mont and shook his head.
He hadn’t heard of this na; if it truly had such fa, there should be records.
Even after ten thousand years, the nas of top experts would be passed down, becoming legends.
He gripped the knife handle, focused for a mont, then slowly unsheathed the knife.
The blade was dull and unremarkable, with subtle fish-scale patterns, no embroidery, well-preserved.
He imdiately understood the reason; one, the knife’s material was unusual, and two, the scabbard was peculiar.
Just these two points showed the knife’s extraordinary nature, although it was not the Sword Lord’s weapon, it was still valuable.
But that’s all it was.
There was no peculiar aura on the blade, no Sword Intent, no Sword Soul.
It was just a regular knife.
Under the Super Sense, Insight illuminated everything clearly, inside and out.
Chu Zhiyuan re-sheathed the knife and smiled, “Good knife.”
“Any peculiarities?” Zhu Caifu asked curiously.
Cheng Miaozhen also looked over curiously.
It was her first ti knowing about this knife.
After returning to the capital, all her focus was on Consort Shu, losing almost all perception of the outside world.
Only now did she realize Zhu Caifu had taken this from the Forbidden Palace Secret Vault.
She thought to herself that Da Zhen would surely be displeased if they knew about this.
Her aunt held a special position, being both a Great Grandmaster and of royal lineage, having a close relationship with the Emperor, while other Great Grandmasters couldn’t enter the Forbidden Palace Secret Vault.
Chu Zhiyuan laughed, “Mr. Zhu, is this considered paynt?”
“This doesn’t count.” Zhu Caifu waved her hand. “I know a big secret, consider it as paynt.”
Chu Zhiyuan’s interest was piqued, “A big secret, concerning the Wentian Cliff?”
Even though he knew it was impossible, he couldn’t help asking.
Zhu Caifu wouldn’t betray the Wentian Cliff even after a fallout.
“Not about Wentian Cliff, but about Prince Ying.” Zhu Caifu smiled cheerfully, “Your Tenth Prince Prince Ying.”
Chu Zhiyuan frowned, “What’s wrong with Uncle Ten?”
Zhu Caifu said, “I heard Prince Ying, the Tenth Prince, cannot beco a Great Grandmaster.”
Chu Zhiyuan was puzzled.
Zhu Caifu said, “Because Prince Ying practiced a visualization during the Innate Period, so it’s impossible for him to reach Great Grandmaster status.”
Chu Zhiyuan frowned, “Uncle Ten should know this taboo.”
He himself only learned of it after entering Mingwu Hall, but Chu Mingrui was not like him, having cultivated in Mingwu Hall early on.
He surely knew this rule.
Zhu Caifu shook her head, “He also had a fortuitous encounter, probably found a visualization and couldn’t resist.”
Chu Zhiyuan pondered silently.
He couldn’t fully believe this.
After all, practicing a visualization is an extrely private matter, impossible for outsiders to know.
His own Super Sense couldn’t see inside the human brain, let alone others.
No one could see what visualization soone was practicing or even tell they were practicing a visualization.
Sitting cross-legged without moving might an sleeping, or moving the ntal thod.
“Don’t believe it?” Zhu Caifu said, “This is a secret from within the cliff, I heard it purely by accident.”
Chu Zhiyuan said, “What visualization was practiced then?”
“That I don’t know.” Zhu Caifu shook her head, “I just heard that line and couldn’t hear more.”
Chu Zhiyuan frowned, “That’s strange.”
“Why worry so much,” Zhu Caifu waved her hand, “since he can’t beco a Great Grandmaster, once you beco one, the imperial throne is almost yours!”
Chu Zhiyuan laughed, “It’s not that easy, even if Uncle Ten never becos a Great Grandmaster, I’m still far from the throne.”
Zhu Caifu didn’t believe it, “Who else could it be besides you?”
Chu Zhiyuan said, “Who knows whom the Emperor’s Sword will choose.”
