Imperial Cultivation

The Bright Moon Saber's soul had been slowly increasing. As the number of Evil Sect demonic figures killed increased, it also strengthened.

But after reaching a certain level, it stopped strengthening, stagnated, and reached a bottleneck.

He wasn't anxious, he just continued to kill Evil Sect demonic figures.

Accumulation leads to a burst; a flash of inspiration might lead to a breakthrough.

Now it was finally triggered.

The sword light of the Spirit Butterfly Sword Array was perfectly integrated, becoming one, reaching a special state, similar to resonance.

Under this resonance, a special rhythm was formed.

This rhythm triggered the blessing of a strange void power.

This void power did not come from beyond the sky, but was a power inherent in the world.

Like all kinds of waves.

People can't see it and can't use it.

But in this special state, in this rhythm, this void power was moved.

Thereby pushing the power of the Spirit Butterfly Sword Array to its limit, several times its usual power.

Chu Zhiyuan's ultra-sensory perception captured this strange rhythm.

So the Bright Moon Saber's soul began to vibrate according to this strange rhythm.

But his face remained calm, watching the four middle-aged men in green robes, with more than a dozen cuts around their bodies bleeding outwards, finally collapsing to the ground, their faces full of stunned disbelief and unwillingness.

They really didn't understand what had just happened.

Everything seemed to accelerate in an instant, the swords of the twelve white-clothed girls suddenly accelerated, so fast that they couldn't react.

By the time they reacted, everything was over.

"Amazing!" Qu Ying couldn't help but exclaim.

Shao Feng was also full of admiration.

They really couldn't imagine who could retreat unscathed from this sword array under that move just now.

So they looked at Chu Zhiyuan.

They wondered if a Grandmaster could.

"Can this move trap a Grandmaster?" Shen Hanyue asked Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Haven't you tried it?"

Shen Hanyue said, "We tried it before, and it didn't work. The crushing power of a Grandmaster cannot be surpassed, but the current sword array is different."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "The result is still the same now."

Although the Spirit Butterfly Sword Array was powerful, it had not yet reached the point where it could break through the crushing power of realms.

"It seems it still won't work." Shen Hanyue sighed, "Back then, you—"

"I couldn't break through the difference in realms back then either." Chu Zhiyuan said, "Back then, I could only interfere with Grandmasters, but I couldn't kill them."

"That was already amazing." Shen Hanyue said.

Through the Spirit Butterfly Sword Array, they could realize how amazing it was that Chu Zhiyuan could threaten Grandmasters back then.

The more they understood, the more they marveled at Chu Zhiyuan's power, the more they could feel his level of power.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I want to continue south for a while. What about you—"

Shen Hanyue said, "We'll go north to the manor. You go with Senior Sister Xiao."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

This Shen Hanyue was becoming more and more discerning.

Xiao Ruoling pursed her lips and smiled, "I'll go to the manor with everyone first."

"Okay, I'll go there when I come back." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

As he was speaking, the Bright Moon Saber's soul suddenly surged, shining brightly.

It was like a bright moon slowly rising.

Rising and rising.

Slowly rising next to the rising sun.

The sun and moon shone together.

And deep in his mind, the spiritual power emanating from the light of his soul, strands of golden thread, while scattering towards the rising sun, also scattered towards the bright moon.

At this moment, Xiao Ruoling, Shen Hanyue, the girls, Qu Ying, and Shao Feng all changed their expressions drastically.

They seemed to see a long saber as bright as the moon coming from the void, directly slashing towards their foreheads.

This saber was surprisingly fast, arriving at their foreheads as soon as it appeared, with no possibility of dodging.

With the saber in their foreheads, their vision suddenly turned black, and darkness was about to engulf them.

A soft light appeared around Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue's necks, it was their protective jade pendants taking effect.

But even so, they still couldn't completely avoid the damage, and were about to faint.

The twelve girls in white and Qu Ying and Shao Feng were even worse, already having fainted.

"Bang bang bang bang—"

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly woke up from his intoxication.

He reached out and held the swaying Xiao Ruoling, then flicked his sleeves, fixing Shen Hanyue in place.

He shook his head helplessly.

He flicked his sleeves.

Streams of cool air struck their foreheads, stimulating and awakening them.

Everyone slowly woke up, finding themselves lying on the ground.

"This—..." Shao Feng was puzzled.

The others were the same, all looking around, and finally looking at Chu Zhiyuan.

Thinking of that saber, they felt it looked familiar, it was the saber on Chu Zhiyuan's waist.

Obviously, this was related to him.

Shen Hanyue shook her head, untied the white veil covering her face, and glared at Chu Zhiyuan.

Xiao Ruoling snuggled in Chu Zhiyuan's arms, slowly standing up with a red face.

Chu Zhiyuan apologized with a cupped fist.

The twelve white-clothed girls hurriedly said it wasn't necessary, and Qu Ying and Shao Feng also said it was nothing.

"What's going on?!" Shen Hanyue said with dissatisfied reproach.

Her beautiful face still carried a hint of pitifulness, the paleness not yet faded.

That just now had injured her.

Shao Feng couldn't help but look at her face.

Knowing he shouldn't look indiscriminately, his gaze still couldn't help but drift over, unable to move away.

Qu Ying also marveled at her beauty.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled embarrassedly: "I just had a breakthrough in my saber technique."

Shen Hanyue snorted: "What kind of saber technique is that? It's too scary, right?"

"It's a saber technique I obtained unintentionally," Chu Zhiyuan said, "Now it seems quite effective."

"No wonder!" Qu Ying blurted out.

This caused everyone to pay attention.

The twelve white-clothed girls who had woken up and were standing up to pat off the mud also looked over.

Qu Ying said, "No wonder the Young Lord kills them without even drawing his saber."

She felt that Chu Zhiyuan definitely wasn't doing it on purpose just now, but accidentally leaked his aura.

The aura leaked unintentionally was already so powerful, how would it be if he used it to kill people? One could already get a glimpse of it.

No wonder those Evil Sect demonic figures would suddenly die, inexplicably.

It turned out it wasn't the power of the Son of Heaven Sword, but the saber technique used by the Young Lord.

This saber technique no longer needed to draw the saber personally, but used spiritual power.

She never thought that a Grandmaster's spiritual power could be so powerful. Shao Feng also slapped his thigh, suddenly understanding.

"Your saber technique is evil enough." Shen Hanyue shook her head.

She knew that a Grandmaster's spiritual power wasn't this strong, didn't have this much attack power.

This was obviously derived from the saber technique, the saber technique greatly increasing the power of the spiritual power.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "The path of saber techniques is still worth studying carefully."

Qu Ying nodded solemnly.

Shao Feng also nodded with a solemn expression.

Hearing this sentence now, their feelings were completely different.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Alright, you go to the manor first. I'll go south for a few more miles and then return. It's getting late, you should set off."

He looked at Shao Feng and Qu Ying: "You go with them, keep them company, lest you encounter trouble on the road again."

"—Yes." Qu Ying really wanted to stay by his side and ask him about saber techniques.

But looking at Xiao Ruoling standing gracefully beside him, she nodded lightly in agreement.

Even Xiao Ruoling wasn't following him, so she couldn't add to his troubles.

Seeing her agree, Shao Feng also agreed.

The group went south, while Chu Zhiyuan had already disappeared into the twilight.

Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue walked side by side, Xiao Ruoling was next to Qu Ying, and Qu Ying was next to Shao Feng.

The twelve white-clothed girls followed behind.
