Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded, his feet never stopping, and he returned to his small courtyard in one breath.
Fu Zheng was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, and hurriedly ca up when he heard footsteps.
"Your Highness?" Fu Zheng stared at Chu Zhiyuan’s face in amazent, looking at him in a daze.
His eyes were deep and bright. Caught off guard, Fu Zheng’s mind was drawn in.
Chu Zhiyuan coughed lightly.
Fu Zheng imdiately snapped back to his senses, saying awkwardly, "Your Highness, you...?"
"I have gained sothing," Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
...
After sending Chu Zhiyuan away, Li Yuzhen returned to the house.
Li Miaotan was already lying quietly on the couch wrapped in a brocade, her bright eyes blazing.
Li Yuchun was examining the disordered room.
"Yuzhen."
"Your Highness," Li Yuzhen leaned forward.
"Take this to him, he might still need it."
Li Miaotan pointed to the black iron box nearby. It was closed now, and inside was the golden silk.
Li Yuzhen nodded lightly.
"Also, tell the tributes that today’s matters must not be leaked at all."
"... Yes."
Li Miaotan closed her bright eyes and murmured, "If it is leaked, there will be no peace for him."
"Yes!" Li Yuzhen nodded solemnly.
Li Miaotan’s breathing began to steady, and she quickly fell into a deep sleep.
The earlier scene had been too stimulating for her, severely depleting her ntal energy and leaving her extrely exhausted.
Li Yuzhen turned to look at Li Yuchun.
Li Yuchun quickly said, "Understood, understood, I won’t say a word, besides, I don’t even know what happened."
Li Yuzhen said, "It’s better if you don’t know."
"Sister Zhen, what exactly happened?"
"You’ll know in due course," Li Yuzhen said, "for now, don’t ask around."
"Alright then..." Li Yuchun pouted, agreeing weakly.
Li Yuzhen glanced at her, didn’t explain much, and took the black box out of the room.
Outside the room, three tributes were gathered together, discussing in low voices.
After leaving the room, Li Yuzhen conveyed Li Miaotan’s words to them.
Regarding the previous matters, they were to keep their mouths shut tight and were absolutely not to ntion Chu Zhiyuan’s entrance into the mansion.
"Your Highness, rest assured, we know what to do," Chang Xihua said solemnly.
Li Yuzhen’s gaze fell on the two elders, and she snorted, "Elder Guo and Elder ng, don’t speak out carelessly!"
"How could that be possible!"
"Humph, how could it not be, Elder Guo, you get drunk and then say anything at all?"
"Yuzhen girl, don’t accuse out of nowhere, nothing of the sort!"
"Elder Guo, you have a precedent!" Li Yuzhen snorted.
Chang Xihua said in a deep voice, "Alright, Old Guo, this is no trivial matter, it cannot be leaked!"
"Sigh... Miss Chang, since you’ve spoken, what more can Old Guo say, we will comply."
Chang Xihua said, "If it is leaked out, you won’t be able to stay in the Princess Mansion!"
Li Yuzhen glanced at her.
Knowing she had already guessed that the Prince Consort was cultivating the Dragon Transformation Scripture and had made progress.
Chang Xihua solemnly looked at the two elders: "Leaking it could bring disaster to the Prince Consort, and at that ti, Your Highness will never agree!"
The square-faced elder lowered his voice: "Yuzhen girl, what exactly happened just now? Was it the Prince Consort’s disturbance?"
Among the three tributes, only Chang Xihua knew the two thods of salvation.
The matter of the Heavenly Dragon Scripture was extrely secretive, and they were unaware.
"You can’t say," Li Yuzhen shook her head and smiled: "I also can’t say."
"Miss Chang?" They looked to Chang Xihua again.
Chang Xihua shook her head: "I don’t know either."
"Tricking ghosts, huh!" The two seniors imdiately glared at her in dissatisfaction.
This clearly showed distrust in themselves.
Li Yuzhen smiled and took her leave.
...
When she arrived at Chu Zhiyuan’s courtyard with the black iron box, Chu Zhiyuan was standing in the center of the yard with hands behind his back, looking up at the sky.
Fu Zheng was standing not far away, curiously staring at him.
His tall and slender figure exuded a majestic aura, causing Li Yuzhen to feel an urge to bow down.
"Prince Consort," she handed over the black iron box.
Chu Zhiyuan pursed his lips.
Fu Zheng stepped forward to take it, curiously asking, "Sister Li, what is it?"
"For the Prince Consort," Li Yuzhen said, "Prince Consort..."
Chu Zhiyuan extended his hand and went over to sit at the stone table in the small pavilion.
Fu Zheng placed the black iron box to the side, offered up so tea, and stood aside.
Li Yuzhen sat down, took a light sip of tea, and elegantly put down the teacup: "I really didn’t expect the Prince Consort to succeed in practice at the first go."
Chu Zhiyuan lightly sipped his tea and smiled: "Neither did I expect such a perfect fit and such quick success."
He thought the fundantal reason was that the Dragon Transformation Technique he practiced and the Dragon Subduing Scripture hadn’t been in vain.
More importantly, the Divine Dragon’s Thought had rged into his soul.
And another point, his soul was powerful.
Thanks to the Great Demon Suppressing Seal and Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror, his soul’s strength far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Even the world’s other venerables, and those heavenly demons, couldn’t match the strength of his soul.
These two factors determined that as soon as he saw the Heavenly Dragon Map on that thin silk, an abnormal scene appeared before his eyes.
He transford into a young Sky Dragon, undergoing nine transformations, each enduring the bombardnt of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.
Enduring one deadly catastrophe after another, he finally grew into a true Sky Dragon, riding the wind and soaring into the void, controlling the clouds and rain, freely riding across the universe and the eight directions.
In the illusion realm, he completed the full life cycle of a Sky Dragon.
Not much ti passed outside, but it seed he experienced infinite years, long and enduring.
He comprehended many things and naturally understood the cultivation thod of the Heavenly Dragon Introduction.
Guide qi with shape, refine the body with qi.
Compared to the current cultivation system, the path of the Heavenly Dragon Introduction seems the sa, but the purpose is different.
He feels it more resembles the Spiritual Abyss Body Cleansing Record.
However, the Spiritual Abyss Body Cleansing Record uses the spiritual energy of the Spiritual Abyss, while this Heavenly Dragon Introduction uses nature’s spiritual energy.
Compared to the current cultivation system, it’s the sa in absorbing spiritual energy into the body.
The difference is, current orthodox cultivation absorbs spiritual energy into the body to constantly elevate the level of True Yuan within, thereby utilizing this True Yuan to mobilize stronger nature’s spiritual energy.
Heavenly Dragon Introduction, on the other hand, refines the body after spiritual energy enters, enhancing physical constitution.
This path is much harder than the orthodox path, destined to be accessible to very few.
Astonishing comprehension, formidable soul, and Divine Dragon’s Thought are necessary to comprehend this Heavenly Dragon Introduction, only then can enough spiritual energy be absorbed to trigger physical transformation and elevate the essence of life.
Any of these factors alone is extrely difficult to possess, let alone all three.
...
"With the Prince Consort mastering it, Your Highness’s life is secured."
"Yes, you can rest assured too."
"Your Highness really is blessed with fortune, having you, Prince Consort, at crucial monts."
"This is fate... I can return at any ti, right?"
"Prince Consort wants to return?"
"Since she is unhard, there’s no need to stay here," Chu Zhiyuan said, "just proceed with the normal itinerary, there’s no need to rush anymore."
The wedding day is still nearly a month away.
If Li Miaotan doesn’t make it, she has the intention of marrying early; now that she’s saved, there’s no need to hurry.
He plans to seize this opportunity to enter the Great Bright Peak to enhance himself and strive to achieve Venerable status.
Li Yuzhen said softly, "Then I’ll talk to Your Highness."
Thinking of Li Miaotan’s shyness, she faintly feels Li Miaotan might not easily agree to activate the bloodline.
Left as a last resort, the first choice is still to find the Spirit Venerable.
With this guarantee, she feels secure, even if she doesn’t find the Spirit Venerable, her life won’t be at risk.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded slightly, "It’s okay if I take a walk in the city tomorrow, right?"
"This..."
"I’ll change my appearance."
"Then all is well, I’ll accompany you, Prince Consort."
"Not necessary." Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, "With you around, it’ll be more noticeable, I’ll just go with Xiao Zheng."
"...Alright." Li Yuzhen lightly nodded.
——
A bright moon hangs high.
Chu Zhiyuan stands with his hands behind his back under the clear moonlight, slightly closing his eyes, sensing the surroundings.
Super Sense has been withdrawn, fully insight into the body.
He has always wanted to understand what changes having mastered the First Transition and condensed the Heavenly Dragon Bloodline have brought.
Understanding oneself is more conducive to cultivation.
The entire body inside out, all have changed.
Skin and muscles, blood vessels and ridians, internal organs, and even bones, down to every single cell, all have undergone transformation.
This is truly a rebirth.
This body has completed a thorough evolution.
The internal cellular structure of skin and muscles is denser and tighter, thus becoming more resilient.
Weapons can no longer harm it.
Blood vessels and ridians have beco thicker, blood flow is greater.
This ans more blood is required, and a stronger heart is needed to circulate it.
With each heartbeat, the volu of blood pumped increases significantly, as does the speed.
Thus, the body possesses Divine Power, its explosiveness and speed both astonishing.
ridians have similarly beco thicker and wider, True Yuan flows faster through them.
Internal organs have all been strengthened.
A strong liver ans strong detoxification capabilities, faster tabolism.
A strong spleen and stomach an strong digestion, conversion abilities.
Strong lungs lead to long, slow breaths, deep penetration, qi ridians are long, endurance and physical strength are formidable.
These enhancents together cause earth-shaking changes in the body.
But despite the body’s strength, cultivation has not advanced.
Still at the Transformation Realm of Eighth Transition.
The Heavenly Dragon Bloodline hasn’t elevated the cultivation realm, nor increased cultivation speed.
His cultivation of the Infinite Brightness Scripture is not faster at the Great Bright Peak.
Enhancent of spiritual power doesn’t endlessly boost cultivation speed.
Although he now possesses Dragon Thought, and the soul is stronger, the improvent in cultivating the Infinite Brightness Scripture is almost nil.
After practicing the Infinite Brightness Scripture for a mont, he shook his head in disappointnt.
Suddenly, his thoughts moved, and he vanished without a trace.
In the next mont, he appeared at the Spiritual Abyss First Peak.
Standing in front of the Divine Statue, he began to perform the First Form, where wild spiritual energy instantly surged into his body, flooding his legs.
A slight smile appeared on his face.
Indeed, once the Heavenly Dragon Bloodline manifests, the Spiritual Abyss Body Cleansing Record can be practiced freely!
His now formidable body can withstand the scour of Spiritual Abyss Energy.
With complete openness in cultivation, he only felt his legs growing larger, as if rging with the mountain beneath them.
Once he faintly felt the limit approaching, he stopped the First Form and opened his eyes.
He flickered, returning to the small courtyard he was in previously.
Stepping forward.
Instantly appearing three zhang away in front of the bamboo grove, it seed as though he shrunk three zhang into one chi.
The bamboo grove rustles, Green Bamboo floats with Qing Qi.
He couldn’t help but want to laugh out loud.
Wonderful, simply wonderful.
This movent technique is the real brilliant thod for self-defense, giving oneself the ability to escape at any mont.
He smiles brightly as he envisions.
With such a movent technique, where can’t one go?
