Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 355 - 352: Spirit Transformation

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Do you know who is in the Da Zhen Mission?"

"Aside from the Eighteenth Princess, there’s Mo Chunyu, the Great Grandmaster from last time, and the high disciple Gao Jiuqu from Wentian Cliff, with the rest being some officials."

"Why has the Eighteenth Princess come here?" Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Wasn’t it for the marriage alliance that our Princely Heir and the Prince went to the Divine Capital?"

Zou Fang said, "It is said that she came for sightseeing without any ulterior motive."

"Heh heh..." Chu Zhiyuan laughed.

Xiao Ruoling said, "I wonder about this Eighteenth Princess."

Zou Fang softly said, "I’ve heard that this Eighteenth Princess is of unparalleled beauty and peerless elegance."

Xiao Ruoling looked at Chu Zhiyuan with a playful smile.

Chu Zhiyuan gave her a sidelong glance.

Xiao Ruoling playfully said, "This Eighteenth Your Highness must have come for the Princely Heir. Does she want to become the Princely Heir’s concubine?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Stop saying such absurd things... alright, we’ll return tomorrow."

"Not leaving today?"

"Are you in a hurry to kick me out?"

"The Emperor has issued an Imperial Decree; it’s not suitable to delay, right? ... Half a day won’t make a difference."

Even though Xiao Ruoling was extremely reluctant, she still didn’t want Chu Zhiyuan to delay, making the Emperor displeased.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Aren’t we yet to arrive in Yujing?"

He thought of that Netherworld God Envoy, the faceless Impermanence, and recalled the Glazed Blade Scripture: "Is there a better Demon Crystal?"

"There are quite a few Demon Crystals," Xiao Ruoling said. "The strongest one... the Blue Bird Demon Crystal, let me look for it."

She gracefully left.

...

She returned an hour later, took a Cold Jade Box from her sleeve, and handed it to Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan opened it to find two thumb-sized, green Demon Crystals.

Chu Zhiyuan felt the vast power within; compared to this crystal, the pangolin’s Demon Crystal was like a brook to the ocean.

Holding a green Demon Crystal in front of him, it shimmered with myriad facets, gleaming brightly.

Every facet emitted a green glow, dazzling and captivating.

He tried to inject a strand of Gang Qi, only to find it blocked by an invisible force.

Chu Zhiyuan raised his sword-like eyebrows, and a flying knife leisurely descended, resting against the Demon Crystal.

The Glazed Blade Scripture activated.

At this moment, he was already in the Yunling Realm, and the flying knife’s spirituality was slowly coalescing, bit by bit.

Moments later, the green light from the Demon Crystal grew brighter and brighter, enveloping the flying knife.

Chu Zhiyuan sensed the spirituality of the flying knife coalesce rapidly, faster and faster, until it vibrated with a "buzzing" sound and floated gracefully.

Chu Zhiyuan sensed its spirit light reach perfection.

The flying knife seemed to come alive, no longer a dead object but a living creature, like his pet.

It could understand his intentions and comprehend his thoughts.

He didn’t even need to specifically urge his breath; with just a thought, it acted according to his will.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

As suspected, there’s indeed a shortcut in the Yunling Realm, and the Demon Crystal is that shortcut.

The higher the rank of the Demon Crystal, the faster the Yunling process.

Subsequently, the remaining eleven flying knives pressed against the Demon Crystal, crammed together without gaps.

In no time, all twelve flying knives hovered above his head, gently quivering.

Xiao Ruoling stared at them in wonder.

She felt acutely, clearly feeling the peculiarity of these twelve flying knives.

They seemed to come alive, possessing their own lives, like twelve bees ready to attack at any moment.

"Is this the Glazed Blade Scripture?"

"Indeed."

"Are they more powerful than before?"

"They move agilely, requiring no specific urging from me, not needing to employ the Sword Control Technique or the Heart Inquiry Saber Skill."

"So, it saves effort?"

"Saves both mental and physical effort, and the power is also stronger."

Once they gained spirituality, similar to a cultivator, they could draw power from the heavens and the earth; this is the essence of spirituality.

Originally dead, now alive, the part of the power surpassing the Heart Inquiry Saber Skill is the power they can draw from the earth and the sky.

This relates to the initial power of their First Realm, the Glazed Glass Blade Realm, and this Glazed Glass Blade Realm’s power is connected to their material.

The two greatest powers of the Heart Inquiry Blade are supreme, followed by the Evil-breaking Divine Blade, and the Breaking Gang Divine Weapon is the weakest.

However, none of them compare to the Bright Moon Saber.

The Bright Moon Saber is the supreme divine blade in the world, the paramount divine blade of Yao Yue Palace.

If not for Xiao Ruoling being the Holy Daughter, Yao Yue Palace wouldn’t bring it out to be gifted, even if unused.

Chu Zhiyuan took out the Bright Moon Saber.

The blade shimmered like a pool of autumn water, rippling gently as if water was stirred by the breeze.

The Bright Moon Saber slowly pressed against the green Demon Crystal.

The green Demon Crystal’s light gradually brightened, growing stronger, then suddenly converged, instantly penetrating the Bright Moon Saber.

The Bright Moon Saber flickered, then returned to normal.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned, took another Demon Crystal from the Cold Jade Box, and pressed it against the blade.

Subsequently, the green light surged again, enveloping the Bright Moon Saber.

Chu Zhiyuan’s expression turned solemn.

The Heavenly Yuan Technique and Earth Origin Technique continued ceaselessly, continually drawing power from the earth and the Void’s dews, constantly replenishing Chu Zhiyuan’s consumption.

Without these techniques, Chu Zhiyuan wouldn’t have lasted even a quarter of an hour, as cultivating in the Yunling Realm consumed an enormous amount of energy.

Xiao Ruoling rested her chin in her hand, her bright eyes intently observing Chu Zhiyuan’s every move, every subtle expression.

Zou Fang stood on guard not far away.

"Ding..." Suddenly, there was a clear ring.

The Bright Moon Saber trembled slightly, struggling as if trying to escape Chu Zhiyuan’s grasp.

Chu Zhiyuan released his grip.

The Bright Moon Saber leisurely floated up, its blade constantly trembling, the light flickering on and off.

Xiao Ruoling widened her bright eyes.

She felt a chill, as if a powerful demon beast were slowly awakening.

She couldn’t help but want to retreat, an instinctive reaction to danger.

Chu Zhiyuan’s face was filled with a smile.

This Bright Moon Saber was indeed formidable, on an entirely different level compared to the twelve flying knives.

The Bright Moon Saber gradually calmed from its tremors, its blade no longer flickering, and the gentle glow remained constant.

It hovered quietly in the void three meters high, emitting a gentle and pure light, resembling the moon reflected in water upon first glance.

"Bright Moon Saber..." Chu Zhiyuan said with emotion, "Truly worthy of being the Bright Moon Saber."

He turned his head to Xiao Ruoling: "This blade should be from beyond the heavens."

During the Yunling process just now, he vaguely sensed a trace of Outer Heaven Power.

This Bright Moon Saber should be from beyond this world.

"It came from a Secret Realm, so the Secret Realm likely has items from beyond the heavens." Xiao Ruoling said.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

The connection between the Secret Realm and the heavens beyond is much closer than that between this world and the heavens beyond.

At least the demon beasts can ascend and leave.

Xiao Ruoling remarked, "Your Glazed Blade Scripture is quite powerful; it’s just at the Third Realm, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "Third Realm, the next step is the Spirit Transformation Realm."

"What is cultivated in the Spirit Transformation Realm?"

"Spirit Transformation is actually cultivating Sword Intent and refining oneself, using the blade’s spirit to temper one’s own spirit," Chu Zhiyuan said. "Achieving true unity between person and blade."

Previously, he did not understand and was always curious, but after succeeding in Yunling cultivation, he naturally realized the intricacies of Spirit Transformation.

The Glazed Blade Scripture is a dual-refining method, refining both person and blade, starting with the blade, then using it to refine oneself, eventually stepping into the Soul Permanence Realm.

Spirit Transformation is the condensation of Sword Intent, the cultivation of Sword Force, unifying with the blade, which enhances the power of one’s techniques.

He thought for a moment and closed his eyes.

Xiao Ruoling watched him silently.

Her keen intuition clearly sensed his transformation, as if he were gradually concentrating into a blade.

First becoming a sharp blade, then a treasured blade, gradually transforming into an indomitable divine blade.
