Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 365 - 362 Above

Xu Mengyu also smiled brightly, looking at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan helplessly gazed at the three of them, apparently Huang Shiron also didn’t quite believe it.

Huang Shiron laughed, "This blade must be dangerous, kept hidden away all this time, otherwise it wouldn’t be wrapped so tightly."

Layer upon layer, clearly not for better preservation, not to prevent decay.

It’s to stop anybody from opening it easily.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "If my prediction is correct, there will be sword intent, capable of harming the spirit, and below the Great Grandmaster level, there’s no way to defend against it."

The blade of a Great Grandmaster should contain sword intent, that intent akin to a Great Grandmaster’s spiritual attack.

"We can’t defend against it?"

"It’s best to avoid it."

"...Alright." Wen Qianqian looked at Huang Shiron, "Senior Sister..."

"Then we shall take our leave..."

"Zou Fang, take Miss Huang and the others to the front hall, I will go over shortly."

"Yes." Zou Fang smiled at Huang Shiron and the other two women.

They got up to leave, glancing at the dark, narrow box as they departed.

Once they left, Chu Zhiyuan impatiently rose, taking the black box inside, sitting cross-legged on the chaise.

Slowly opening the Sealing Spirit Box.

A long blade with a silver sheath lay quietly inside the box, showing no signs of change.

In Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes, the long blade seemed to twist slightly, becoming blurred and unclear.

He reached for the hilt.

Taking a deep breath first, slowly drawing it out a small length.

The blade light suddenly flashed, a chilling aura struck violently.

The cold aura turned the surroundings into an ice chamber, able to freeze a person to death instantly.

Chu Zhiyuan’s Biluo True Robe flared, and a layer of frost instantly formed on his forehead.

His whole presence seemed to congeal into a divine weapon, resisting the mysterious force’s attack.

The Glazed Blade Scripture naturally activated the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Only then did Chu Zhiyuan realize how astonishing the spiritual attack of a Great Grandmaster level could be.

The Great Grandmasters he had seen were always bare-handed, solely relying on spiritual power to distort the opponent’s features, preventing attacks on themselves.

Then using a layer more purified spiritual energy to crush the opponent.

Facing someone below the Great Grandmaster, be it a Grandmaster or an Innate Master, before a Great Grandmaster, it was akin to a child, effortlessly defeated.

Yet encountering a Great Grandmaster, the battle process appeared somewhat comical and laughable.

His resistance to a Great Grandmaster’s attack was no longer so vulnerable, instead, there was resistance.

But the attack from a Great Grandmaster differed fundamentally from the sword intent before him.

The sword intent here, was a power a level above even a Great Grandmaster’s spiritual power.

Is this beyond the realm of a Great Grandmaster?

The conversion of a Great Grandmaster’s spiritual power into sword intent proved even more astonishing, leaving him once again utterly defenseless.

The sword intent was sharp and unmatched.

No wonder it was sealed in a Sealing Spirit Box; otherwise, such sword intent, ordinary people couldn’t withstand it.

If it were an ordinary Grandmaster, they’d have likely fainted by now, and those below might even perish.

His intuition was precise after all, luckily urging Huang Shiron and the others to leave, even Zou Fang also departed.

If they were beside him, they’d be unconscious by now and possibly gravely wounded.

These injuries are directed towards the spirit, making them the hardest to heal, potentially leaving lifelong shadows.

The more one tries to get rid of such a shadow, the clearer and more unyielding it becomes.

This signifies the end of the Great Grandmaster’s path.

Chu Zhiyuan’s thoughts were tumultuous, as he pondered and concentrated his sword intent, contending with the small length of the blade.

He dared not draw out the entire blade.

Though only a small length was drawn, it was enough to catch a glimpse of this blade’s essence.

It was indeed a very ordinary blade, with ordinary material, neither made of hard material nor a celestial item.

The blade body was layered as if it was forged thousands upon thousands of times, hammered by each blow, reflecting sincerity and integrity.

The blade was bright without defect, bearing no unusual patterns, just a regular long blade.

Only because it was imbued with a Great Grandmaster’s sword intent did it become so extremely powerful and fearsome.

Could the Great Grandmaster’s sword from the Flying Sky Sect also be this terrifying? He expressed doubt.

If it were so, the Great Grandmaster of Flying Sky Sect would undoubtedly dominate all Great Grandmasters.

The Flying Sky Sect’s position would already be at the world’s pinnacle, instead of beneath the White Cloud Sword Palace.

The Heavenly Blade of Flying Sky Sect is certainly worth seeing.

What a pity...Flying Sky Sect, Heavenly Blade Pavilion...

Chu Zhiyuan sighed, unable to see the Heavenly Blade with his own eyes, truly regrettable.

Still, he must find a way to see it.

If he couldn’t, he’d have to openly utilize Super Sense to observe it.

As long as he approached within a seven hundred-meter radius, using Super Sensing Illumination, it would be the same as seeing it himself.

"Ding..."

He swiftly pushed the long blade back into its sheath.

His whole body was already coated with a layer of white frost, which rapidly vanished once the blade returned to its sheath.

Transforming void into reality.

This was definitely beyond the Great Grandmaster Realm.

Absolutely above a Great Grandmaster.

He opened his eyes, and his gaze was like knives, sharp as reality.

Then slowly returning to normal.

He exhaled a long breath.

He truly exerted himself, nearly collapsing, almost fainting from being unable to withstand it.

But the gains were astonishing.

The Spirit Transformation Realm advanced tremendously, the sword intent became even more refined, and the spiritual power also became increasingly refined.

He closed his eyes to nurture the two Sword Gangs within the Heavenly Pond Acupoint, driving the condensed sword gang mini-sword to strike the copper tower.

Watching them crash into the copper tower, scattering and then regrouping, returning once more to the Heavenly Pond Acupoint to nurture.

Then going forth again, scattering, regrouping.

The copper tower already bore visible scars and damage.

After repeating this cycle twelve rounds, he could conclude that it would take only fifteen days to break through the copper tower.

——

"How was it, how was it, did it work?"

Seeing Chu Zhiyuan appear, Wen Qianqian couldn’t wait to ask.

Huang Shiron and Xu Mengyu also gazed at him.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile, "Very well, it worked splendidly, ... please express my gratitude to the Palace Master."

While Flying Sky Sect rejected him, the White Cloud Sword Palace unhesitatingly offered him this hidden blade.

The contrast was too stark.

He realized the White Cloud Sword Palace must have something in mind, not approaching him for no reason.

But such an act of timely assistance indeed made it hard not to feel goodwill.

Huang Shiron said, "This was Uncle Gu’s idea, she insisted on gifting this blade to the Princely Heir."

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, "Seems like Elder Gu suffered from this blade."

"Indeed." Huang Shiron pursed her lips and laughed, "Uncle Gu did have an odd smile on her face."

Wen Qianqian giggled, "Uncle Gu always wants to see you suffer, Your Highness."

Xu Mengyu looked at them helplessly.

This time, they’ve thoroughly sold out Uncle Gu.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Reciprocity is only fair, how about this, I teach you all a sword technique."

"What sword technique?" Wen Qianqian immediately asked curiously, "Stronger than ours?"

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, "Each has its merits."

He couldn’t just take this long blade, a weapon above the Great Grandmaster level, for nothing.

Perhaps this blade wasn’t as precious to others or to the White Cloud Sword Palace, but to him, it was exceedingly valuable.

Wen Qianqian excitedly said, "The last sword technique was already very powerful."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "This time it’s a step further, you need to slowly understand, if you can’t understand, then slowly ponder."

Wen Qianqian quickly said, "If we don’t understand, can we ask Your Highness again?"

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, "If absolutely necessary, you can ask me."

He saw from Wen Qianqian’s eyes, he knew what she was planning.
