Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 1187 - 1183: Acquiring the Pearl

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Ding Huanchun.

Ding Huanchun said, "Mr. Chu, I’ve already examined this Jade Pendant. Let’s take a look at yours and see if it’s the same."

"What did you see?" Chu Zhiyuan curiously examined the hazy white light.

Inside the white light was a round bead, the size of a Dragon Eye, completely flawless.

At first glance, it emitted a gentle white light, but through Super Sense, it showed a seven-colored light.

More importantly, it seemed alive, constantly changing size, slowly expanding and then contracting like the breathing of a person.

Clearly, it had its peculiarities.

Ding Huanchun shook his head, "I didn’t see anything."

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.

Su Lingxuan said, "This Jade Pendant should be an object from the outer world, not something from our world."

Chu Zhiyuan took out the Jade Pendant from his chest, "This All Things Pearl cannot reveal objects from the outer world?"

"It cannot." Su Lingxuan shook his head.

Chu Zhiyuan placed the Jade Pendant in the palm of his hand and handed it over, "Then let’s try it."

Zhou Chaoyang reached out and took the Jade Pendant, moving it closer to Su Lingxuan.

His palm joined with Su Lingxuan’s palm.

The soft light of the All Things Pearl suddenly expanded, enveloping the Jade Pendant.

After a moment, there was no change.

Chu Zhiyuan looked up at the two of them.

They looked serious, shaking their heads helplessly.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Can’t see anything?"

"It’s confirmed to be an object from the outer world," Su Lingxuan said.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Let me try."

He extended his palm.

Zhou Chaoyang returned the Jade Pendant to him.

Chu Zhiyuan held the Jade Pendant in his palm and moved forward, letting the Jade Pendant be enveloped by the soft light of the All Things Pearl.

He infused the breath of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree into it.

Golden Light sparkled.

The next moment, the Jade Pendant showed anomalies.

Inside the Jade Pendant was a small sun emitting Golden Light, surpassing the soft light of the All Things Pearl, impossible to look directly at.

Everyone present widened their eyes, staring straight at the small sun.

"This is...?" Ding Huanchun said in amazement.

He had never seen such an abnormality.

Su Lingxuan said solemnly, "This is the power of the Evil Venerable."

"This is the power of the Evil Venerable," Zhou Chaoyang said in a solemn tone.

Ding Huanchun said, "Then it’s strange, if it’s the power of the Evil Venerable, it should be easier to see."

Zhou Chaoyang shook his head, "The power of the Evil Venerable is too high-level, which can block the peering of the Candle Demon Eye."

"It’s really the power of the Evil Venerable." Ding Huanchun shook his head, "What should we do, how to counteract it?"

He felt very anxious.

If the Candle Demon Eye can’t break through the concealment of this Jade Pendant, it will let in the Evil Demons.

These Evil Demons have astonishing destructive power, their ability to kill is incredible, and who knows how many bloodsheds will be caused.

Even if the experts in the city can promptly deal with them, the bloodshed will already happen, and the City Guards will be blamed.

I will be the first to bear the brunt, and perhaps I will be exiled to the Cold and Bitter Land.

"There is a way to counteract." Zhou Chaoyang slowly said.

"Mr. Zhou, please tell!" Ding Huanchun said anxiously.

"If..."

"Let’s not talk about that." Su Lingxuan interrupted him.

Zhou Chaoyang sighed helplessly, nodding, "Indeed, let’s not say it. The General Mansion has a Treasure that can solve our urgent need."

Chu Zhiyuan already knew what he wanted to say.

It should be the Divine Artifact of the Imperial City, which has been guarding the Imperial City and is now malfunctioning.

The Divine Artifact seemed completely malfunctioned, showing no signs of recovering.

Ding Huanchun frowned, "The Treasure at the General Mansion is probably..."

"We can’t worry about that now," Zhou Chaoyang said, "If the Candle Demon Eye can’t see through it, and we delay further, who knows how many Evil Demons will be let in, and once they’re in, it’ll break the people’s spirit in the city!"

The citizens inside the Imperial City are not worried about the entry of Evil Demons, living peacefully.

But once that confidence is broken, it’ll be as hard as climbing the sky to restore it.

So we cannot allow Evil Demons to enter.

"Alright, I’ll go find the Great General!" Ding Huanchun gritted his teeth.

Even if the Great General lends the Treasure, he will certainly be very displeased, and I’ll have endless troubles.

But the future can only wait till the future to worry about. We need to get through this hurdle first.

He turned to Chu Zhiyuan, "Mr. Chu, may I trouble you to watch over here."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I will do my best."

He understood Ding Huanchun’s meaning.

At this time, we can’t completely stop the citizens from entering the city.

This will cause great panic.

Ding Huanchun felt that by adding his own checkpoint, he could block the Evil Demons.

It can only be said that Ding Huanchun trusts him enough.

...

Chu Zhiyuan put away the Dustless Tears, his figure flickered as he passed by the citizens, each time tapping lightly on their shoulders.

Like a gentle wind passing by, but he was actually injecting a wisp of breath from the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree.

Seeing these citizens showed no abnormalities, he felt relieved and returned to stand in front of Su Lingxuan and Zhou Chaoyang.

His movement technique was exceptionally fast, and the citizens were unaware of any anomalies, only the City Guards, Su Lingxuan, and Zhou Chaoyang saw clearly.

They vaguely guessed what he was doing, and felt a bit relieved.

Chu Zhiyuan curiously examined the All Things Pearl.

"This is an object from the outer world," Su Lingxuan said with a smile.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "It’s not fragile, is it?"

Su Lingxuan handed it to Chu Zhiyuan, "Mr. Chu, take a look."

Chu Zhiyuan took it and immediately felt a surge of vigorous power pouring in.

He quickly blocked it.

But he didn’t expect this vigorous power was almost impossible to resist.

Chu Zhiyuan quickly opened the Lao Gong Acupoint, redirecting it inside.

This surging force enters the Jade Sea within the Lao Gong Acupoint, transforming into a ball of seven-colored clouds, floating above the sea surface.

With this ball of seven-colored clouds, the vast world suddenly becomes a bit more splendid.

Chu Zhiyuan smiles.

Su Lingxuan and Zhou Chaoyang stared at him unblinkingly.

But they still couldn’t see a seven-colored light bursting from Chu Zhiyuan, nor did it reveal an unusual phenomenon.

Under normal circumstances, the first person to touch the All Things Pearl is always reflected by it, revealing all the Cultivation Techniques they’ve practiced.

They were eager to understand Chu Zhiyuan’s secrets, to see what Miracle Technique he was truly practicing.

The mental method of the Heavenly Sword Sect is wondrous, but Chu Zhiyuan definitely practiced more than just the mental method of the Heavenly Sword Sect, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so powerful.

His performance has far exceeded the scope of a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Even those elders from the Heavenly Sword Sect have not been so exceptional.

Chu Zhiyuan continuously absorbed the surging Abnormal Power, making the seven-colored cloud within the void of the Lao Gong Acupoint larger and larger.

One plain, ten plains, ... one mu.

As the cloud increased in size, its radiance also grew more dazzling.

He speculated that this strange power was the source of the All Things Pearl’s mystery.

Obtaining these powers is tantamount to acquiring the All Things Pearl.

The gentle light of the All Things Pearl grew brighter, as if it was determined to illuminate him.

Su Lingxuan and Zhou Chaoyang smiled, wanting to see if the All Things Pearl could overcome his resistance.

The surging aura integrating into the Lao Gong Acupoint became thicker and thicker, while the seven-colored cloud in the azure sky gradually started to condense.

Chu Zhiyuan’s mind moved.

The seven-colored cloud became more condensed and smaller as the surging aura integrated into it.

From one mu in size, it slowly shrank to one plain, and continued to shrink.

Finally, it turned into a round bead.

Chu Zhiyuan gazed in wonder at this round bead, which turned out to be the same size as the All Things Pearl.

The difference was that the All Things Pearl appeared to be a gentle white light, while the one within the Lao Gong Acupoint was a ball of seven-colored light.

It looked more like the model under Super Sensing Illumination.

As this seven-colored light pearl condensed, the All Things Pearl gradually dimmed, the gentle white light returning to the pearl.

Su Lingxuan and Zhou Chaoyang’s expressions changed slightly.

Chu Zhiyuan handed it over to Su Lingxuan: "Has something gone wrong?"

Su Lingxuan took the All Things Pearl with a solemn face.

If there was indeed a problem with the All Things Pearl, it would be a big mistake.

It is a unique treasure from the outer world, and if broken, it cannot be found elsewhere.

As soon as the All Things Pearl landed in his palm, it immediately emitted a gentle white light, just like before.

Su Lingxuan exhaled a long breath, looked up at Chu Zhiyuan, and smiled bitterly: "That was quite a shock."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "Would I really break it? It’s not that delicate, right?"

Su Lingxuan shook his head: "Although it’s hard to damage, you never know."

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Why won’t it emit light in my hand? Let’s take another look."

Su Lingxuan hesitated.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "I guarantee I won’t do anything."

Su Lingxuan saw his eager expression, looked at the All Things Pearl, and then at Zhou Chaoyang.

Zhou Chaoyang said: "Indeed strange, but it shouldn’t be damaged."

Su Lingxuan took a deep breath, slowly extended his hand.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and took the All Things Pearl again, spreading it in his palm.

The gentle light it emitted once again receded, retreating back into the pearl.

Anyone could clearly see that it was a mutton fat jade bead.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile and handed it back to Su Lingxuan.

Su Lingxuan accepted it, and the gentle light of the All Things Pearl expanded once more, forming a dim light sphere.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled: "Does this All Things Pearl have spiritual intelligence?"

Su Lingxuan and Zhou Chaoyang scrutinized Chu Zhiyuan.

"Strange." Su Lingxuan shook his head: "First time encountering such a situation."

Chu Zhiyuan patted the Golden Sword at his waist: "Is it because this Treasure Sword is also from the outer world?"

"It’s not because it’s from the outer world." Su Lingxuan shook his head: "I also have something from the outer world."

Zhou Chaoyang said: "I have too."

"Then why is that?" Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "Why does it shrink when it encounters me?"

He actually knew the reason.

Because there is the same seven-colored light pearl within the Lao Gong Acupoint.

Clearly, both are of the same origin, so there was no need to explore further.

This surging force seems like a child’s curiosity.

Seeing something, it wants to understand it, wants to see it clearly.

Now seeing itself, naturally, it doesn’t want to waste energy.

"Really strange." Su Lingxuan shook his head repeatedly.

Chu Zhiyuan took it over again, its gentle light once more retracted.

Again, he handed it back to Su Lingxuan, the gentle light emitted again.

"Strange, strange." Su Lingxuan kept shaking his head.

Chu Zhiyuan handed over the Jade Heaven Sword: "Can it clearly see my sword?"

Su Lingxuan received the Jade Heaven Sword, bringing the All Things Pearl close.

The gentle light immediately spread over, enveloping the Jade Heaven Sword within.

The Jade Heaven Sword suddenly brightened, forming a gentle light shield, covering itself.

The gentle light of the All Things Pearl was isolated outside.

Yet, the gentle light of the All Things Pearl suddenly became more gentle, like silk or thread, and merged with the light shield of the Jade Heaven Sword.

Chu Zhiyuan was extremely curious, watching as wisps and strands of aura drifted into the light shield, then entered the Sword.

As more and more strands of aura appeared, the Sword gradually became transparent.

Inside the Sword, there were three blinding golden lights, too bright to look at directly.

Each ball of golden light was only the size of a fingernail, like three gold coins embedded within the Sword.

The gentle light slowly faded away, and the Sword returned to normal.

Su Lingxuan withdrew the All Things Pearl: "This is the power of will, with connections to the power of the Evil Venerable."

The sound of fluttering garments arose, and Chu Zhiyuan and the others turned to look.

Ding Huanchun arrived gracefully with two elders, his face somber.

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.

It looks like he obtained that Treasure, but also received a scolding.
