Imperial Cultivation

Chu Zhiyuan returned to Tingtao Courtyard, his mind a blank. The Blade Divinity of the Bright Moon Saber was constantly emitting light, which fell upon the two small sword energies.

At the same time, the two small sword energies were continuously attacking the first level of the Golden Tower.

Each time the Golden Tower was attacked, it would release golden light, illuminating its surroundings, stimulating the activity of the surrounding cells, repairing the body, and strengthening it.

Chu Zhiyuan thought about the final level of the Dragon Transformation Art, which had made no progress.

The Dragon Transformation Art had already reached the final level, and he really wanted to know what changes would occur in him after the final level was completed and perfected.

Could the Dragon Transformation Art really transform him into a dragon?

At this moment, with the activity of the cells, the stagnant Dragon Transformation Art actually had a trace of change.

There was actually progress, extremely small progress, like the change in the Golden Tower.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if the moment the first level of the Golden Tower was destroyed was when the final level of the Dragon Transformation Art would be completed.

The premise was that he must not stop the piercing attacks of the two small sword energies.

Even if he fell asleep, he still had to keep them piercing relentlessly.

This was impossible for others to do, but he could do it.

It was still due to the fusion with that wondrous Spirit Pearl.

He shifted his gaze from practicing to outside the window, looking south.

At this time, Xiao Ruoling and the others should have already eaten and should be practicing.

At this time, Huang Shirong and the others should have already left Jade Capital City and headed towards White Cloud Sword Palace.

Outside the Moon Invitation Palace's manor, would there be Evil Sect demons ambushing tonight?

Ten miles south of Jade Capital City, a manor was located halfway up a mountain, brightly lit.

The bright lights pierced through the night.

The surrounding woods were dense, and because it was winter, there were no insects or birds and beasts moving in the dark, but rather, it was quiet.

The brightness of the manor was particularly abrupt.

In a small courtyard of the manor, several strings of lanterns illuminated it as bright as day.

Inside the small courtyard filled with light, Xiao Ruoling was slowly practicing palm techniques.

She was wearing a white martial suit, graceful and supple, with beautiful movements.

Shen Hanyue stood aside, waving her long sword boredly, the sword light like water.

She hummed, "Senior Sister, there's nothing to practice in this palm technique, right?"

Xiao Ruoling said while circulating her energy, "The Young Lord once said that this Bright Jade Divine Palm has its own mysteries, so it's best to put in the effort to practice it well."

Shen Hanyue curled her lips.

She didn't think there was anything mysterious about it, but since Chu Zhiyuan said so, and even told Xiao Ruoling, she still believed it.

So she sheathed her sword and came to the side to start practicing the Bright Jade Divine Palm as well.

While practicing, she muttered, "There's nothing mysterious about it at all."

Xiao Ruoling smiled without saying a word, and kept practicing the Bright Jade Divine Palm.

She looked up at the sky.

The best time to practice the Great Taiyin Refinement is around midnight, the moment of supreme Yin.

In addition, one must observe the bright moon and determine the cultivation method according to the lunar phase.

The bright moon has twelve phases, and one must determine the lunar phase and then take one phase's cultivation method to practice.

If one judges the correct one of the twelve phases and practices the corresponding cultivation method, progress will be extremely rapid.

The key is the judgment of the twelve phases. If the judgment is wrong, progress will often be slow.

And once one of the twelve phases is determined, one must practice for two hours in one go.

Changing to practice the cultivation methods of the other eleven phases will cause the cultivation methods to clash, resulting in injury at best and ruined cultivation at worst.

What she had been worried about was the judgment of this lunar phase. She could often only get it right three or four times out of ten.

Many characteristics were similar but not quite, vague, and even had you in me and me in you.

Like a sick person, the Yin and Yang, cold and heat, and deficiency and excess of their body, all kinds of symptoms were mixed together, making it extremely difficult to judge.

Shen Hanyue practiced the Bright Jade Divine Palm while saying in a drawn-out voice, "Senior Sister, what phase is the bright moon today?"

"What do you think?" Xiao Ruoling asked.

Shen Hanyue looked up, her hands still moving, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Flying Squirrel Phase?"

Xiao Ruoling said, "I think it's the Wandering Dragon Phase."

"It's not the Wandering Dragon Phase, there are no floating clouds."

"It doesn't necessarily have to have floating clouds, and I just saw a dark cloud float by."

"I still think it's the Flying Squirrel Phase."

"Wandering Dragon Phase."

"... Alright then, Wandering Dragon Phase it is." Shen Hanyue finally succumbed, deciding to believe Xiao Ruoling's judgment.

She would cultivate the Wandering Dragon Phase's cultivation method later.

The two practiced the Bright Jade Divine Palm while chatting.

Shen Hanyue said, "Staying here, I always feel uneasy. There are too many Evil Sect demons now, they're all crazy, really thinking they can find the Evil Emperor's inheritance!"

Xiao Ruoling nodded lightly.

She also felt uneasy, always worried that Evil Sect demons would ambush them.

Shen Hanyue said, "The Evil Emperor's inheritance is still there, and it's actually in Da Meng. Fortunately, only we found out about this matter. Otherwise, if it spread, the Evil Sect demons would definitely realize it was the Young Lord's conspiracy."

"Actually, we're too nervous," Xiao Ruoling smiled and said:

"Now that I think about it, no one would believe this news even if it spread now. They would think it's a rumor, to stir up people's hearts and make more people give up."

"... That's true."

"This is a conspiracy in the open, upright and fair, but it makes the Evil Sect demons unable to resist."

"Sigh..." "I really don't know how the Young Lord's head is made, to be able to think of such crooked and harmful tricks."

"The Evil Sect demons really should be killed off."

"When will they be killed off?" Shen Hanyue sighed:

"The Young Lord is very powerful, but I'm afraid he can't do it either."

"I believe he can do it. He can often do things that others can't."

"Senior Sister, you're now caught in a web of love, seeing everything good about him."

"He never does anything, but once he does, he can do it."

"Alright, alright, he can do it." Shen Hanyue didn't foolishly retort, treating it as if she believed it even if she didn't.

Xiao Ruoling glanced at her and shook her head with a smile.

She came to remind Chu Zhiyuan because she was afraid that he hadn't expected this Evil Sect inheritance to still exist, affecting subsequent actions, and wasn't worried about the news leaking out.

Now that the situation has been established, there's no point in saying anything.

As the two were chatting, Chu Zhiyuan suddenly appeared in the small courtyard.

Xiao Ruoling's misty eyes suddenly lit up, stopping the Bright Jade Divine Palm and welcoming him.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Keep practicing, don't mind me."

"Then I'll go now." Shen Hanyue said goodbye tactfully.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled at her, watching her leave.

Shen Hanyue was about to step into the courtyard gate when she suddenly stopped: "Young Lord, what lunar phase do you say the bright moon is today?"

Chu Zhiyuan looked up and smiled: "Golden Rooster Phase."

"Okay, then it's the Golden Rooster Phase!" Shen Hanyue smiled at Xiao Ruoling.

Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, "Then it's the Golden Rooster Phase."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "In the future, I'll help you judge the lunar phase. I can judge more accurately."

Shen Hanyue clapped her hands and cheered: "Great, it's settled then!"

Xiao Ruoling pursed her lips and smiled, not refusing.

Chu Zhiyuan's judgment of the lunar phase was indeed more accurate, almost never missing once.

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow: "We have guests."
