Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1391 - 1387: Li Huo

To ensure the Void Divine Flower, naturally we must often go and take a look.

Absolutely cannot allow the Flower God Sect to become dominant.

They wish to form an alliance, thinking too ideally.

Once they control the Void Divine Flower, no spiritual artifact will matter.

Subsequently, Chu Zhiyuan inquired about their cultivation.

Each has already chosen a mental method, one is Supreme Yang and Firm, the other chose Pure Yin.

These two mental methods both purely follow extremes, often progressing very quickly in the early stages but encountering numerous troubles later on.

Moreover, they are both at Venerable Perfection, their spiritual power robust, cultivating faster in the early stages.

Chu Zhiyuan felt their wrist, perceiving an inexplicable change, and nodded.

"Junior Brother, we are truly taking a gamble here."

"Brother Zhang, let’s see about our luck."

"Alright then, Junior Brother Zhang, at this point, just trust Junior Brother."

"It’s not that I don’t trust Junior Brother, just..."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Brother Zhang is too anxious, bound to have gains and losses."

Ning Dongge shook his head and said, "Originally, there was no destiny to be Spirit Venerable, taking a gamble, losing won’t lose much."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "With this kind of progression, it won’t take long before results are seen."

"How long will it take?" Zhang Ji Yuan hurriedly asked.

Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment, "Within a year perhaps."

Zhang Ji Yuan said, "Just a year?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "You two train extremely fast."

"A year..." Zhang Ji Yuan’s eyes fluctuated, his face heavy.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile, nodded at Ning Dongge, and then disappeared.

He appeared on a mountain peak in Glazed Heaven, looking up towards the void.

The progress on the Second Layer of the Heavenly Yuan Technique surged, and his spiritual power exploded, giving him more confidence to try entering the valley.

Unfortunately, when he appeared in front of the valley again, it was no different than before.

He still couldn’t enter the valley, was blocked by an invisible force, and then thrown out.

When he reappeared in Glazed Heaven, he directly headed to Xiao Ruoling’s courtyard.

Upon entering the courtyard, he immediately sensed something unusual.

Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue were packing things, quite hurried.

Xiao Ruoling stepped forward and handed him a cup of tea, sitting by the stone table.

"What’s going on?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "Leaving?"

Xiao Ruoling gently nodded, "The palace has summoned us back."

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Ruoling shook her head, "Didn’t say what for, just asked us to return quickly."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Then..."

Xiao Ruoling said, "Senior Sister Guo has matters, won’t be returning for now."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "Seems it’s not very urgent, not going to the Outer Realm Battlefield?"

"Shouldn’t be." Xiao Ruoling shook her head.

"That’s good." Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes suddenly became hollow.

Xiao Ruoling smiled at him.

Moments later, Chu Zhiyuan returned to normal, frowned, and said, "Be careful, returning is truly a battle."

"Battle?"

"It’s with other experts in combat," Chu Zhiyuan said, "You’re going to meet strong opponents."

Xiao Ruoling was surprised.

Profound Yin Palace is powerful, one of the world’s top sects, rarely encountering foes.

Thus, no sect dares provoke Profound Yin Palace.

The greatest danger for Profound Yin Palace disciples comes from the Outer Realm Battlefield.

This time, surprisingly engaged in combat with other sect’s experts, indeed rare.

"Let’s discuss it upon return." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

This disrupts his plans.

Plans cannot keep up with changes, additionally, prior observations didn’t reveal this change.

He drew a conclusion: Donghuan Saint Technique is not entirely accurate, some external changes cannot be perceived.

"Senior Sister, who could it be?" Shen Hanyue curiously leaned forward, "Who dares provoke our Profound Yin Palace?"

She couldn’t think of anyone daring to provoke Profound Yin Palace, smiled, "Could it be the Heaven-Reaching Sect?"

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.

Shen Hanyue said, "Recently heard quite a lot about Heaven-Reaching Sect, the senior sisters in the sect don’t have a good impression of Heaven-Reaching Sect, saying they’re not good people."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Besides Brother Zhang’s issue, anything else?"

Shen Hanyue shook her head, "Senior sisters say Heaven-Reaching Sect acts insidiously, better to stay away."

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.

Xiao Ruoling said, "Husband, I’m a bit worried."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her.

Xiao Ruoling said, "I’m worried that the elders and ancestors may act recklessly."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned, pondered, shook his head, "Don’t think too much, take it step by step."

Shen Hanyue said, "Afraid the elders will interfere with dealings with the princely heir?"

Xiao Ruoling lightly nodded.

Shen Hanyue snorted, "You two are husband and wife, not lovers, they won’t act recklessly."

"Hard to say." Xiao Ruoling shook her head, "Can’t let down your guard."

Chu Zhiyuan already understood why they came to Glazed Heaven for leisure.

It was actually to avoid pressure.

"Then let’s quickly improve cultivation." Chu Zhiyuan said, "With rapid cultivation progress, they will naturally have nothing to say."

The excuse to hinder the two is nothing but cultivation.

If together with him, Xiao Ruoling’s cultivation advances, then there will be nothing to say.

Everything speaks through cultivation.

Shen Hanyue’s eyes shone, suddenly said, "Senior Sister, why not don’t return, and go into seclusion instead?"

"Directly close door cultivation?" Xiao Ruoling lightly shook her head, "Inappropriate, a message has already been passed, we shouldn’t delay."

Shen Hanyue said, "We went into seclusion after receiving the message."

"Can’t be done." Xiao Ruoling shook her head.

Shen Hanyue helplessly looked at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Seclusion can only be found on another occasion, let’s return first."

Shen Hanyue sighed, "Alright then, just afraid seclusion can’t be outside Profound Yin Palace, when the time comes, the palace uses Spiritual Treasure, and the princely heir cannot enter."

With Chu Zhiyuan’s assistance, their cultivation progresses extremely fast, ten times what it usually would be.

A day is worth ten days, a month worth over two years.

This feeling of rapidly advancing is extremely delightful, not wanting to return to the original situation where progress was slow and arduous.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Shouldn’t be, not that fast."

He can sense internal conflicts within Profound Yin Palace, in a position of indecision.

The two women’s cultivation progresses extremely fast, which is the key.

Even if they truly speak to block, they must wait for their cultivation realm to slow down.

"Hopefully so." Shen Hanyue sighed, looking worried.

Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, "Junior Sister, the palace may not truly block us."

"I feel they will." Shen Hanyue said, "I feel the atmosphere is not right."

Originally optimistic, now exchanging information with sect’s senior sisters, growing pessimistic.

...

Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue rushed back to Profound Yin Palace, soon arriving at the master’s Xi Yue Courtyard.

Inside the main hall, Qin Ruolan in white clothes like snow, quietly sat on a mat, lightly sighed, watching them enter gracefully, sitting on the mat.

Shen Hanyue curiously asked, "Master, is there an urgent matter?"

Qin Ruolan said, "We have a conflict with Li Huo Palace."

"Li Huo Palace?" Shen Hanyue said, "Isn’t it that well water doesn’t interfere with river water?"

"A disciple of Li Huo Palace has fallen." Qin Ruolan said, "Died at the hands of ours."

"Who killed them?"

"Meng Yunyin." Qin Ruolan said lightly.

"Senior Sister Meng?" Shen Hanyue said surprised, "How is it possible, Senior Sister Meng is very kind and soft-hearted, how could she kill a Li Huo Palace disciple?"

"The internal story is unknown now." Qin Ruolan said, "Currently Meng Yunyin hasn’t been found, whereabouts unknown."

"Was she killed by Li Huo Palace?" Shen Hanyue snorted, "Are they hitting back false claims?"

Qin Ruolan sighed, "One death, one missing, neither side knows what’s happening, so preparations are made for war."
