Imperial Cultivation

“Impressive.” Chu Qingyan smiled.

Chu Zhiyuan's words hit the nail on the head.

All three inheritances from the ancient times lack the most important visualization diagrams.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Are you afraid that practicing the visualization diagrams too early will damage the soul?" The changes in the world have led to the need for the path of cultivation to change with the times.

One must never practice visualization diagrams before becoming a Grandmaster.

This is an iron law summed up from the experiences and lessons of countless people.

In the ancient times, spiritual energy was abundant, and food could invisibly repair the soul. This era is different.

Once the soul is damaged, it is impossible to repair it, making it impossible to step into the Grandmaster realm. Visualization diagrams are forbidden techniques.

Only upon reaching the Grandmaster realm can one begin to practice visualization diagrams. This is already an iron law.

"Are those three visualization diagrams still there?"

"They are all stored in the secret vault."

Chu Zhiyuan's spirits immediately lifted: "Ninth Grand Uncle, then I..."

"Don't even think about it." Chu Qingyan waved his hand and smiled: "We'll talk about the visualization diagrams when you step into the Grandmaster realm."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled wryly: "Actually... can't I take a look beforehand?"

He wanted to say that he had the Spirit Communication Talisman, so even if there were visualization diagrams, it wouldn't matter. But then he thought that this Spirit Communication Talisman was given by his Second Uncle, and it was extremely secretive. His intuition told him that it was better not to say it.

Chu Qingyan said: "The mental cultivation method of the inheritance is important, but without the visualization diagrams, it will be impossible to practice upon reaching the Grandmaster realm."

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.

He thought of his own Glazed Blade Sutra, which did not have a visualization diagram.

Moreover, it was a quick method, and it directly led to the Blade God realm.

Then he thought that the path of the Glazed Blade Sutra was different, obviously different from this world.

Coming from a secret realm, it could be considered a cultivation method from another world, a cultivation path.

He felt that perhaps this set was more suitable in this world, even better than the cultivation paths that had been improved after being passed down from ancient times.

This required cultivation to test it.

Without the visualization diagram, no wonder he couldn't improve the realm of the Heavenly Essence Art. The Taiqing Yuan Sect should rely on visualization diagrams the most.

The Dragon Transformation Art and the Imperial Void Sword Sect did not rely on it so much. It was enough to cultivate step by step.

...

"Alright, you've already obtained the saber. Go do what you need to do." Chu Qingyan said: "And the Phoenix Camp, do you really want to eliminate all the Grandmasters?"

Chu Zhiyuan's expression suddenly became serious, and he slowly said: "Yes, once they step into the Grandmaster realm, there is no need to continue staying in the Phoenix Camp."

"Your boldness is truly extraordinary." Chu Qingyan smiled. This was no different from cutting off one's own arm.

As far as he knew, among the more than one thousand people in the Phoenix Camp, more than two hundred had already stepped into the Grandmaster realm when they returned to Jade Capital this time.

Coming and going, after Chu Zhiyuan's guidance or the stimulation of actions, they suddenly became enlightened, crossed the bottleneck of Perfected Acquired, and stepped into the Grandmaster realm.

Perfected Acquired and Grandmaster had essential differences, with vastly different cultivation levels. More than two hundred Grandmasters was a terrifying thought.

He actually said that he would give up such a powerful force, and directly wanted them to leave the Phoenix Camp and disperse into the army or the Town Guard Division.

And if they stayed in the Phoenix Camp, it would increase the strength of the Phoenix Camp several times over.

Going to carry out such secret missions would have a higher chance of success and it would be easier to earn merit. Merit was still extremely important to him, as it was related to the Heavenly Son Sword recognizing its master.

But he insisted on pushing these Grandmasters out, greatly reducing the strength of the Phoenix Camp. How could he earn merit this way?

He was pushing away a lot of merit, and he really didn't know what to say. Did he not want to compete for the throne at all?

Chu Zhiyuan said: "The Northern Border needs them more, and even the Town Guard Division needs them more. What are they doing staying in the Phoenix Camp? They can only cultivate all day long, which delays them from earning merit."

"That's true." Chu Qingyan thought about it and felt that his concerns were reasonable.

These newly promoted Grandmasters must be eager to make contributions and earn cultivation resources for rapid progress.

It was indeed inappropriate to keep them cooped up in the Phoenix Camp, outside Jade Capital City, at this time.

"But in this way, wouldn't you be busy for nothing?"

"It's enough to have increased the number of Grandmasters for the imperial court."

"Then the Phoenix Camp..."

"The Phoenix Camp was originally established to cultivate Grandmasters. It's good that Grandmasters are now appearing."

"Heh heh..." Chu Qingyan shook his head.

The Phoenix Camp was not another Martial Arts Academy, where the number of places was strictly controlled.

The previous Phoenix Camp was a loophole, but now it was not so easy to exploit.

Seeing these two hundred plus Grandmasters, everyone would be envious.

It was possible to make great contributions and become a Grandmaster, which was better than the Martial Arts Academy.

The Martial Arts Academy was so difficult to enter, so the Phoenix Camp was much easier for some people to enter. Chu Qingyan sighed: "The Phoenix Camp..."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "It's a big trouble... but it's inevitable."

The original Phoenix Camp was just a pilot project, and many people had doubts.

It was only regarded as a place where they could get close to him and gain an advantage.

Those Perfected Acquired or Acquired realm martial arts experts poured in.

Most of them were martial arts experts from various sects or the army who could not get places in the Martial Arts Academy.

The current Phoenix Camp was different.

Not only could they successfully break through to the Grandmaster realm, but they could also earn merit, which was even more tempting than before.

Such an opportunity would surely make many people fight for it like crazy. The intensity of the competition could be imagined.

But he was too lazy to care about these things.

The fiercer the competition, the more they would cherish it, the faster the Phoenix Camp's strength would increase, and the faster the Great Jing's overall strength would increase.

Giving himself ten years, it was not a luxury for the Great Jing's military strength to surpass the Great Meng. The next morning, he went to the Bright Martial Hall, practiced the Violet Sun Scripture, and saw Chu Qingfeng winking at him.

So he followed him to the Knowing Autumn Hall.

As soon as he arrived at the Knowing Autumn Hall, Chu Zhiyuan's gaze was immediately attracted by the emerald green long saber placed on the kang table.

Chu Qingfeng said: "Take a look, it's for you."

Chu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "I finally got it!"

He had gone through a lot of trouble to finally get the treasure saber of the Flying Heaven Sect. One of the two treasure sabers enshrined in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.

He turned his head to look at Chu Qingfeng: "Only one?"

"There's only this one. You'll have to return this one before you can get the other one." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "That's really stingy!"

Chu Qingfeng pointed at him: "You've completely offended the Flying Heaven Sect. Ninth Brother is really too indulgent towards you."

If it were him, he would advise Chu Zhiyuan not to offend the Flying Heaven Sect so much.

After all, it was one of the four major sects, with deep roots and intricate connections. No one knew how far its tentacles extended.

They might cause trouble at any time, leading to endless troubles.

"Grand Uncle," Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "It's they who shouldn't offend me."

"You..." Chu Qingfeng pointed at him.

If you want to compete for the throne, you have to win people's hearts.

But Chu Zhiyuan was different. He had no intention of winning people's hearts at all.
