Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1371 - 1367: Suspicion

This is the first time he has felt the power of the Spirit Venerable Realm so closely and tangibly.

Previously in the valley of the Flower God Sect, the feeling from those few Flying Knives lingered.

These Flying Knives intensified that feeling, making it stronger and clearer.

He continuously compared this power to his own, constantly analyzing.

Analyzing from every aspect.

Analyzing over and over, breaking it down from unity to detail, not just understanding the extent of the difference, but knowing the various aspects of the difference.

Thus, he understood, he should advance from several dimensions.

Clearly identifying the dimensions was the key to thoroughly comprehending the mysteries of the Spirit Venerable.

He scrutinized the Crystal Rose within his reach before him.

Under the sunlight, it was crystal clear, glowing with captivating sanctity and delicacy, making it impossible to refuse.

He shook his head, gritted his teeth, and turned away.

His gaze completely left the Crystal Rose; he forced himself to endure the melancholy and emptiness, descending from the top of the hall back into the main hall.

Out of sight, out of mind; not seeing the Crystal Rose cut off the endless temptation.

Sitting on the Golden Meditation Mat, he closed his eyes and continued analyzing this force.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

A muffled sound echoed, causing the hall to shake slightly.

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, opened his eyes, and his Super Sense already had Insight, revealing the Crystal Rose exploding.

The Soft Light Shield illuminated suddenly, triggering a disturbance in the void.

It wasn’t the hall shaking but the surrounding air vibrating.

The warning in his heart dissipated, his hairs no longer stood on end, and the chill on his back scattered.

He let out a long breath, smiled, and eagerly wanted to try the Taihao Jade Void Scripture.

The next moment he appeared in a small courtyard in the Glazed Heaven.

...

You Meng Heaven

At the peak of a towering giant mountain, a Light Gate suddenly appeared.

From the Light Gate emerged Zhu Lingyun.

With a solemn expression, he strode out of the Light Gate and shot towards a taller mountain in the distance.

In just a few breaths, he arrived beneath the mountain, dense with forests.

Below the mountain, he turned his head to glance behind him, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Zhuo." Two young men emerged from the woods, bowed in salute.

Zhu Lingyun nodded.

The next moment his face changed slightly, as he flicked his sleeve.

The two young men who were saluting flew out in astonishment, like two cannonballs, shooting straight towards halfway up the mountain.

Zhu Lingyun flashed his body and disappeared from his original place, also appearing halfway up the mountain.

"Boom!"

The place where he had previously stood had already turned into a deep pit.

The trees, grass, and stones of the original place had vanished, leaving only a flat and smooth deep pit.

It was like a meteor crashing down.

"What’s this..."

The two young men suddenly stopped in mid-air, floating on a tree.

While marveling at Zhu Lingyun’s skill in controlling force, being able to retract and release at will, they looked in amazement at the pit.

Unable to detect what force had caused it.

Zhu Lingyun shifted across the air horizontally.

"Boom!"

Another pit appeared where he stood, identical to the previous pit.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Zhu Lingyun continued to shift, pits appearing incessantly on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen pits appeared, everything happening too swiftly.

His heart sank continuously.

Could the master need to come and assist?

But where is Wanxiang Cliff’s Sect Treasure? Why hasn’t it been activated yet?

"Junior Brother Zhuo!"

"Come forth and lend a hand!"

...

Several figures emerged, standing in front of him, meeting the invisible force.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

They had just appeared before Zhu Lingyun, and they flew out again.

They sprayed Blood Arrows in mid-air.

Zhu Lingyun called out, "Senior Brother Huang, the Array?"

"Activate the Array!"

"Yes!"

The experts flying in mid-air shouted one after another.

"Buzz——!"

A deep sound suddenly rang out.

This sound shook Zhu Lingyun’s blood instantly, as if it were about to boil.

At the same time, a phantom appeared in the void above the peak, a giant beast.

This phantom of the beast was faint, looking like a leopard at first glance.

It crouched in the high air, about a hundred meters above the peak, overlooking below.

It leaped suddenly, ignoring the distance, landing in front of Zhu Lingyun the next moment, swinging its paw.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The fierce wind whipped up, surrounding trees uprooted, exploding in mid-air into fragments.

Zhu Lingyun floated back, his green robe fluttering, his face pale.

The others watched, bewildered, only seeing the giant leopard swing its paw, seemingly producing the fierce wind.

But the booming sound was clearly the collision, the paw hitting the void’s invisible object.

Zhu Lingyun with Super Sense, saw clearly the rose at the paw’s tip.

This rose was fist-sized, sculpted with White Jade in three ways.

The void’s light and shadows twisted, like waves on a lake; this White Jade Rose seemed submerged in the lake, hard to notice.

"What’s going on?" Two middle-aged men with light injuries floated to Zhu Lingyun’s side: "Junior Brother Zhuo?"

Zhu Lingyun smiled wryly: "I don’t know either, how did I get involved with this?"

"Impossible!" one middle-aged man snorted: "Such power wouldn’t just target you for no reason; did you enter some Cave Mansion or provoke some formidable expert?"

Zhu Lingyun said, "Brother Qin, I really don’t know, I was just having a meal in Wanxing City."

"Strange."

The two looked at him with such expression, frowned and watched the giant leopard’s attacks.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The muffled sound was nonstop.

Around, patches of trees were uprooted, exploding in mid-air, leaving patches of open ground.

Looking down, the mountain had turned ugly.

Several other figures also floated over, all suffering significant injuries, faces pale and spirits exhausted.

One of the middle-aged men looked at Zhu Lingyun a few times: "Junior Brother Zhuo, your cultivation has increased quite a lot."

Zhu Lingyun smiled: "I had some fortuitous encounters, gained some insights, indeed improved a bit."

One middle-aged man with a square face and a righteous demeanor between his eyebrows said seriously, "Junior Brother Zhuo, I’ve heard you’ve practiced the Descent Technique."

Zhu Lingyun was stunned and then his face changed greatly, saying seriously, "Brother Jiao, what do you mean by this?!"

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The muffled sound continued.

Ground trees were uprooted and shattered.

And the giant leopard pushed the White Jade Rose little by little, moving further from the peak.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This was their ultimate confidence, this was the Sect Treasure.

Zhu Lingyun said seriously, "Brother Jiao, who on earth spread the rumor? They can’t bear to see me do well!"

"You really haven’t practiced the Descent Technique?" Jiao Hengtian glared coldly at him.

Zhu Lingyun shook his head: "If I’ve practiced the Descent Technique, let me die a terrible death!"

Jiao Hengtian frowned, reached out: "Junior Brother Zhuo, let me check."

Zhu Lingyun unhesitatingly stretched out his hand, pressing against his palm.

"Boom!"

The two stepped back a pace.

Jiao Hengtian stared at him, eyes bright: "Indeed improved a lot, really not the Descent Technique?!"

At the Perfect Realm, further improvement was nearly impossible.

Such significant improvement highly matched the traits of having practiced the Descent Technique.

Zhu Lingyun said, "Brother Jiao, you don’t believe me, yet you believe what others say?... Saying I practiced the Descent Technique, there should at least be some evidence, right?"

Jiao Hengtian said, "Yes, so far, indeed no solid evidence."

Zhu Lingyun said coldly, "Is there any other evidence? Let me see."

Jiao Hengtian chuckled lightly, shook his head: "The truth will prevail."

"Finally drove it away." At this moment someone broke the tension between the two.

Everyone turned to look, the giant leopard sat back in the void over the mountaintop, fading slowly.

And the entire mountain had become a complete mess, their faces darkened.

This was their sect where they had lived all along, yet it has turned to this.
