Imperial Cultivation

“Awakening past life memories must be extremely demanding, right?”

“Extremely demanding. It requires a genius among geniuses. It's fortunate if one Spirit Child is born every thousand years, as it signifies the great prosperity of our Church.”

“Then how many Spirit Children do you have in total?”

“Throughout the ages, there have been a total of three.”

“Oh?”

“The first Spirit Child founded our Church, the second Spirit Child helped the Great Jing's founding emperor establish the dynasty, and the third Spirit Child is the current one!”

“Spirit Child…” Chu Zhiyuan mused silently in his heart.

“That so-called wisp of spiritual light from past life memories, is it from this world? Are there any spiritual lights from beyond the heavens?”

“How is that possible!” Li Haoyuan chuckled. “Beyond the void is a boundless ocean, a sea of eternal darkness. A soul's spiritual light would be extinguished upon contact, so it's absolutely impossible for external spiritual light to enter.”

“Oh?”

“Those who are not members of our Church do not know the secrets within the scriptures, and thus do not know the great mysteries of this world. For the Heir to know about the world beyond the heavens, truly, you are learned and talented.”

“Is that so surprising? Aren't the Four Great Heavens and Four Great Secret Realms outer realms? Aren't they worlds beyond the heavens?”

“The Heavens and Secret Realms exist between the inner and outer, and cannot be considered completely as worlds beyond the heavens.”

“Then what is the world beyond the heavens like?”

“Boundless darkness, a boundless ocean, boundless terror, death upon contact. That is true annihilation, where both soul and spirit vanish, with no chance of reincarnation, no chance to practice the Eternal Spirit Secret Scripture.”

“If that's really the case, then your Eternal Spirit Church is truly remarkable.” Chu Zhiyuan said, “To actually be able to be undying and unextinguished, that's even more impressive than a Grandmaster.”

Grandmasters only have a lifespan of three to five hundred years, but the disciples of this Eternal Spirit Church can keep their spiritual light unextinguished forever.

However, this is just a hope and expectation, a beautiful wish.

It's like buying a lottery ticket in a past life, maybe it will be your turn. Lottery tickets are just money, but this is life, even more tempting.

Li Haoyuan smiled proudly.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: “Then how many disciples are there in your Church?”

“Over a hundred within the Church, and countless outside the Church. This is a secret among secrets, known only to the Spirit Child and the Church Leader.” Li Haoyuan said.

“Over a hundred… that's already a lot.”

The cultivation requirements for this Eternal Spirit Secret Scripture must be extremely demanding, so the number of people cannot be high.

Over a hundred is already quite a few.

“Disciples within the Church, disciples outside the Church? What is meant by 'outside'?”

“Those who do not join our Church but can still practice the Eternal Spirit Secret Scripture are External Guardians.” Li Haoyuan said, “If they can successfully cultivate, they can join the Church and practice the Supreme Section of the Secret Scripture.”

Chu Zhiyuan fell silent.

He was thinking, why would Li Haoyuan be so forthcoming in telling him all this? This should all be secrets among secrets.

“…A wisp of spiritual light remains unextinguished, with a chance to regain past life memories. As long as there is a chance to practice the Eternal Spirit Secret Scripture, if one lifetime isn't enough, then two lifetimes. If two lifetimes aren't enough, then three lifetimes. Continue cultivating lifetime after lifetime, and eventually, one will be able to cultivate successfully and regain past life memories!”

Chu Zhiyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face carried a playful smile: “Past life memories… can't be faked, right?”

It seems that I am an anomaly, the only one in the world.

It should be due to that meteorite, which brought me through the boundless darkness and boundless terror, and threw me into Bai Ningshuang's womb. This is good.

If there were other reincarnators from beyond the heavens, I wouldn't be alone, but I would rather be alone, rather be the only extraterrestrial visitor in this world.

But this Eternal Spirit Church is truly strange enough.

It seems that it can really find past life memories. More importantly, my second uncle, the Prince of Jing, is actually the Spirit Child of the Eternal Spirit Church.

This is simply outrageous!

I couldn't have imagined this even if I racked my brains.

Isn't this Eternal Spirit Church courting death, actually provoking the royal family, actually provoking the Emperor? Why didn't the Son of Heaven's Sword directly destroy the Eternal Spirit Church?

No wonder the Prince of Jing was placed under house arrest.

No wonder my father was confined to his manor for thirty years for interceding. Was it because he also had some connection with the Eternal Spirit Church? The Eternal Spirit Church is courting death, and so is my father.

It's fortunate that I didn't listen to him and go visit.

Otherwise, the Qing Prince's Mansion might be sealed off again!

“Fake it? Impossible!” Li Haoyuan said solemnly: “Along with the memories, cultivation and experience also return. This cannot be faked!”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: “Can you tell me these things? General Li, are you planning to… betray the Eternal Spirit Church?”

Li Haoyuan's expression suddenly became solemn and respectful, and he slowly said: “Heir, are you willing to learn the Eternal Spirit Secret Scripture?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Li Haoyuan was stunned: “There is no obligation, and you don't even need to help our Church. I will impart the Eternal Spirit Secret Scripture to you for free.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: “Since it's a Guardian, how can I not help?”

“You don't have to help.” Li Haoyuan said.

Chu Zhiyuan said: “If I'm not mistaken, this Eternal Spirit Secret Scripture must be infinitely profound, making people unable to stop, and eventually eagerly cultivate the later stages, and ultimately become an internal disciple of the Eternal Spirit Church.”

“The internal disciples can be kept secret, and no one knows except for the Spirit Child and the Church Leader.”

“But Imperial Grandfather will know.”

“Even the Emperor will not know.” Li Haoyuan said: “Otherwise, the Spirit Child would not be able to awaken.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled silently and shook his head in refusal.

Even if the Emperor didn't know in the beginning, he must be extremely wary of the Eternal Spirit Church now, and he will definitely be wary of other members of the royal family practicing this.

I am fine as I am now, why should I get involved in this trouble, a trouble that will ruin my life?

Just for a bit of spiritual light to remain unextinguished, to gamble on that once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity?

Moreover, if the Eternal Spirit Secret Scripture can do it, why can't I do it myself? With Super-Sense, I can cultivate miraculous skills that predecessors couldn't.

The bottlenecks that others take a long time to overcome, the realms that others have to cultivate for decades, I can break through as easily as drinking water.

Was the person who created this Eternal Spirit Secret Scripture stronger than me?

If I want a bit of spiritual light to remain unextinguished, I don't necessarily have to cultivate the Eternal Spirit Secret Scripture of the Eternal Spirit Church!

Moreover, if I want to achieve immortality, it's not just the spiritual light that remains unextinguished, but even the body, that is my ultimate pursuit!

Thinking of this, his chest filled with great ambition.

In the past, he thought that immortality and eternal life were just illusions, just legends, and that reality probably couldn't achieve this.

So he always didn't dare to think about it.

But now, he suddenly had confidence, absolute confidence. He saw the road ahead.

This proves that in this world, it is possible to achieve immortality.

At least one can cultivate to achieve soul immortality, and even go further to achieve body immortality.

What predecessors could do, I can also do, and what predecessors couldn't do, I can also do!

His eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he felt the range of his Super-Sense suddenly expand, from two hundred meters to three hundred meters.

A flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly circulated the Violet Sun True Scripture, while simultaneously splitting out twelve thoughts, separately condensing twelve Dragon Binding Ropes, and then gathering them together with a bang, directly crashing into the copper tower.

“Boom!” Like a thunderclap.

The third level of the copper tower shattered.

The fragments turned into billowing astral energy, causing the astral energy to suddenly increase greatly, becoming both thicker and purer.

He had already stepped into the fourth level of the Grandmaster realm!

He slowly opened his eyes, revealing a smile.

Li Haoyuan looked at Chu Zhiyuan with suspicion.

He vaguely felt that Chu Zhiyuan was breaking through, but he didn't dare to believe it.

Once one reaches the Grandmaster realm, how difficult it is to break through a level. Without years of hard work, it is almost impossible to achieve.

Breaking through the realm requires finding a quiet and safe place, making many preparations, and then fully concentrating to break through the realm.

How could he be like this, casually breaking through while walking?
