Imperial Cultivation

Among the four great sects, the White Cloud Sword Palace was still alright, but the other three sects, the Great Spirit Rock Peak and the Azure Deer Cliff, didn't have much interaction.

They directly became enemies with the Flying Heaven Sect.

By forcing the Flying Heaven Sect so hard, what would the Great Spirit Rock Peak and the Azure Deer Cliff think? Would they feel empathy for the fallen and become resistant to him?

It might not seem like much now, after all, he is currently the Left Vice Minister and also the Heir Apparent, but what about the future?

The four great sects have been in the imperial court for so many years, although their power is only concentrated in the Town Guard Division. It's inevitable that they've saved officials, interacted with officials, and have influence.

However, Chu Zhiyuan didn't take his concerns seriously.

No matter how strong the four great sects are, they are just the four great sects, not the imperial court. As the Heir Apparent, he really didn't need to be so cautious towards them. Instead, they should be cautious towards him.

Previously, the Flying Heaven Sect was so arrogant, it was just deliberately acting so stubborn in order to maintain distance from the royal family and the imperial court.

The purpose was to prevent their greatest secret from being revealed.

Now that the secret has been revealed, can the Flying Heaven Sect still afford to be arrogant? If they continue to do so, they won't have a good ending.

The four great sects' disciples can enter the Town Guard Division, and there are enough spots. The imperial court won't change this rule.

However, hindering the Flying Heaven Sect in some small ways, preventing their disciples from getting better tasks, is something that can be done.

Even if he doesn't become the emperor, he will still be a pivotal figure after becoming a Grandmaster. How can he allow the Flying Heaven Sect to provoke him like this?

Chu Qingfeng is just too cautious. Of course, this is also why he is so valued by the emperor.

He hasn't reached that stage yet. If he can't become the emperor in the future and can only become a Prince, it won't be too late to do so then.

But there's no need to do so now, needlessly dulling his edge and preventing his thoughts from flowing freely, thereby affecting his cultivation progress.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, the Flying Heaven Sect won't hold a grudge, instead, they will compensate me."

"Heh, you're just thinking wishfully," Chu Qingfeng shook his head and chuckled.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "The Flying Heaven Sect isn't as aloof as you think, Uncle, just wait and see."

"Heh, then I'll wait and see," Chu Qingfeng snorted. Chu Zhiyuan smiled without saying a word.

In the small hall of Listening Wave Courtyard, Chu Zhiyuan sat quietly, looking at the long saber on the table. This saber, which was originally enshrined in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, was now quietly placed on the stone table. The emerald green scabbard was crystal clear and smooth, like a piece of jade.

This saber was obviously carefully preserved and meticulously maintained.

It seemed that this saber was more like a decoration than a weapon used to kill people. Being enshrined in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, most people felt it was because of the saber's owner. Few could feel the faint saber intent it exuded.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at this long saber that he had finally obtained, revealing a smile, and slowly reached out his hand.

Just as his right hand was about to grip the hilt, he suddenly paused. He frowned.

Then he slowly retracted his right hand.

The saber he had gone to great lengths to obtain, he couldn't use, didn't dare to draw.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly formed a hand seal with both palms, and a vast power surged forth, landing on his palms.

He closed his eyes and slowly extended his right palm. At the same time, he condensed his saber intent.

He closed his eyes and carefully felt his intuition, then slowly nodded, there was only some danger. He gripped the hilt and gently tried to pull it out, but couldn't move it.

The saber seemed to be welded into the scabbard, stable and unmoving.

He frowned and tried to pull it out again, but it was still unmoving.

He didn't rush to use more force, but instead released his hand, staring at the saber thoughtfully.

His strength wasn't the strength of an ordinary person. Even without activating his inner force, his physical body alone was immensely powerful.

Even if the long saber was glued in place, it couldn't withstand his pulling force. This situation was very strange.

Then there was only one possibility, it needed Gang Qi or True Qi to be injected before the saber could be drawn.

He then speculated, was this the source of the danger?

Would non-experts of the Flying Heaven Sect be attacked by this saber? As he pondered, he began to inject the aura of the Dragon Transformation Art into the saber. "Woo..." In the strange whistling sound, the scabbard suddenly turned purple.

Purple radiance poured into the emerald jade, turning it purple, instantly becoming noble and gorgeous.

Chu Zhiyuan secretly sighed in relief. The warning signs had disappeared.

The aura of the Dragon Transformation Art that he had injected was actually correct, eliminating the danger. Why was this?

He was curious, and pulled out the saber again.

A cold light flashed, as if a dragon's roar sounded in his ears. Then he drew the saber from its scabbard, and the cold light formed a training.

A chilling aura instantly spread out, and the entire pavilion seemed to be blown in by a cold wind. He frowned as he looked at the snow-white long saber in front of him, a look of doubt on his face.

He couldn't find any saber intent.

His saber intent had no opponent, so it naturally converged back. The saber light was like cold lightning, but other than that, the long saber didn't seem to be anything special. Chu Zhiyuan frowned and pondered.

This wasn't right.

If it was just like this, his intuition wouldn't have shown such a serious warning. This long saber was so ordinary, it was extremely unusual.

He thought for a moment, then changed the Dragon Transformation Art to the Glass Saber Sutra's mental cultivation method. "Clang..."

A dragon's roar sounded again.

Then a long saber appeared before his eyes, but this long saber appeared in the void.

Above the void, dark clouds instantly covered the sky, and lightning appeared with it, striking the long saber like purple electricity.

When the long saber was illuminated by the lightning, it instantly turned purple, and the purple glow illuminated the strange patterns on the saber's body.

Strange patterns densely covered the saber, each one shining.

It was as if the long saber was absorbing the lightning, and the purple light transformed from the lightning was traveling along the patterns.

A strong warning sign rose in Chu Zhiyuan's heart, and then the sound of a dragon's roar sounded in his mind.

He immediately woke up.

All the illusions disappeared, and only the snow-white long saber was gently shaking in front of him.

He found that his saber intent had skyrocketed by a large margin.

And this was only for a moment.

At the same time, he found that this moment wasn't really a moment, but a quarter of an hour had passed.

He thought it was only a moment, but he had actually been holding the saber and standing blankly for a quarter of an hour.

His body swayed, and his vision blurred.

The Heavenly Origin Art circulated, and the Earthly Origin Art also circulated, replenishing both his spirit and Gang Qi at the same time.

He was as weak as if he hadn't eaten for days, and he sat softly on the stone stool.

The long saber returned to its scabbard, but his sweat didn't manage to wet his azure silk robe.

He breathed heavily, secretly marveling.

This was really ruthless, he almost lost his life.

This didn't seem like saber intent.

If it wasn't saber intent, why had his saber intent skyrocketed by a large margin?

He closed his eyes, his pale face full of thought.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, thoughtful, could this be a saber soul?

Above saber intent was the saber soul. What he had seen before had already exceeded saber intent, reaching the realm of the saber soul?

As far as he knew, after the Spirit Transformation realm was the Spirit Nurturing realm, and the so-called Spirit was the saber soul.

When the saber soul was formed, the Spirit Nurturing realm was complete.

This senior of the Flying Heaven Sect had actually cultivated to the realm of the saber soul? This was greatly beyond his expectations.

The Flying Heaven Sect's saber technique was indeed extraordinary.
