Imperial Cultivation

A bright moon hung high, its clear light spilling onto the Purple Sun Manor, yet failing to illuminate its interior.

The Purple Sun Manor was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

Chu Zhiyuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back in the center of a small courtyard, holding the letter in his hand, his eyes tightly closed.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming like cold stars.

He turned his gaze towards the southwest.

The letter was written by the Sect Leader of the Demonic Heart Sect.

Xiao Ruoling, Shen Hanyue, and Xu Yingying stood beside him, curiously staring at him.

"How is it?" Xu Yingying asked.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded lightly, "Found him."

Shen Hanyue said, "Are you really going to kill the Sect Leader of the Demonic Heart Sect?"

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded, "He's already close enough, we can make our move."

Originally, the Sect Leader of the Demonic Heart Sect was too far away, and he couldn't leave here for too long.

Lest experts from the evil sects arrive, and he wouldn't be able to protect Xiao Ruoling and the others in time.

Now that the Grandmaster of the Moon Invitation Palace had arrived, he could leave with peace of mind.

More importantly, the Sect Leader of the Demonic Heart Sect was actually approaching Jade Capital.

This was the best opportunity.

It seemed that the Sect Leader of the Demonic Heart Sect was planning to enter Jade Capital City.

Although waiting until he arrived in Jade Capital City to make a move would be more secure.

Chu Zhiyuan didn't want to wait that long.

As the saying goes, a long night is fraught with dreams, who knew what kind of tricks this Sect Leader of the Demonic Heart Sect would pull.

It was always better to kill such a person sooner rather than later.

"Let's go together," Shen Hanyue said.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head lightly, "Not this time."

"Why not?" Shen Hanyue quickly said, "Anyway, you don't even need to really do anything, you can kill him with a single glance."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I don't know if this time is a trap, if it really is a trap, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you."

"You think we're a burden," Shen Hanyue snorted.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled without saying a word.

Shen Hanyue glared at him.

He wasn't even bothering to make an excuse, how infuriating.

Xu Yingying said, "Could it be a trap?"

"All the evil sects can't wait to destroy me, they've already secretly joined forces."

"Then it's very likely to be a trap," Xu Yingying said, "Why bother going?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

He was hoping it was a trap, which would save him the trouble of finding them one by one, and he could just wipe them all out in one go.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Xu Yingying took out a jade pendant from her sleeve and tossed it to Chu Zhiyuan, "This is a Tranquility Inscription, it can protect your mind and prevent it from being disturbed by external objects."

Chu Zhiyuan readily accepted it.

Xu Yingying had too many treasures, so many that she herself would forget.

Some, after obtaining them, were never really used, so they were put aside, slowly forgotten, and never remembered again.

Therefore, he had no intention of refusing Xu Yingying's treasures.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and waved his hand, "I'll be back soon, I'm leaving."

He knew that if he delayed any longer, they wouldn't give up and would still want to follow him.

So he simply left directly.

"Just let him go alone?" Shen Hanyue turned her head to look at Xiao Ruoling.

Xiao Ruoling said, "Junior Sister, it's alright."

Shen Hanyue tilted her head and looked at her, "Senior Sister, aren't you worried at all?"

Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, "He acts prudently, he won't do anything he's not sure of, if he senses danger, he won't act rashly."

Although the Prince was deeply resentful of the evil sect demons, he hadn't resented them to the point of risking his life.

The Prince still had a bright future ahead of him, and he had the hope of wielding the Son of Heaven Sword.

Once he wielded the Son of Heaven Sword, what revenge couldn't be taken? Why rush at this moment?

So he wouldn't take risks easily, those so-called traps, if they could really threaten him, he wouldn't step into them.

More likely, they couldn't threaten him.

The world's imagination of a Grandmaster didn't apply to him.

Those who truly understood how powerful he was were often dead, and those who were alive found it difficult to imagine the extent of his power.

"That's true," Shen Hanyue nodded.

Xu Yingying said, "Sister Xiao understands him the most, he's the most timid, how could he take risks?"

Shen Hanyue snorted, "Dare you say these words to his face?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

"You dare to say he's timid now?"

"I've said he's timid more than once, so what if I said it?"

"He's a Grandmaster now."

"So what if he's a Grandmaster?!" Xu Yingying glared at her and snorted, "He's still him, what does it have to do with being a Grandmaster or not?"

"...That's right," Shen Hanyue opened her mouth, and finally snorted, "I'll concede you're right!"

She found that Chu Zhiyuan hadn't changed because he had become a Grandmaster.

Obviously, he didn't take being a Grandmaster as something amazing, and didn't think it was worth being reserved and arrogant.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Ruoling, who was leisurely looking towards the southwest, and couldn't help but shake her head.

Senior Sister Xiao was just being stubborn.

She said one thing after another, saying she wasn't worried, but in fact, she couldn't help but worry.

Chu Zhiyuan's purple robe fluttered as he walked, the moonlight like water.

The Bright Moon Saber God leaped for joy in his mind, as if sensing the approaching slaughter, filled with excitement.

Following behind him was Zou Fang.

Zou Fang's cultivation had improved, and he was increasingly like a shadow, hidden in Chu Zhiyuan's shadow.

People would almost unconsciously ignore him, even if he was standing in front of them.

Chu Zhiyuan spoke as he walked, "Have you touched the door of the Grandmaster?"

Zou Fang said softly, "This servant feels it's close, I vaguely have some clues."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "The Wusheng Sutra is indeed mysterious, but it requires enough comprehension, the one who created this sutra was truly a world-shattering genius."

Physical disability originally meant that one could not achieve Grandmaster status, let alone become a Great Grandmaster.

But the Wusheng Sutra instead used the physical disability as an advantage.

Cut off one source of profit, and you gain ten times the effort.

The physical disability instead made the speed of cultivation ten or even twenty times faster than ordinary cultivation.

And the true mystery of the Wusheng Sutra was that the physical disability did not lead to the deficiency of True Qi and Gang Qi.

Through strange and exquisite mental techniques, this deficiency was compensated, at least it seemed to be compensated at present.

Moreover, the Wusheng Sutra could also directly improve cultivation through the method of empowerment.

Chu Zhiyuan couldn't help but admire the creator of this mental technique, he was far inferior.

Although he couldn't create this mysterious method, he found it extremely smooth to comprehend.

Zou Fang had been diligently studying and practicing this method, and with Chu Zhiyuan's guidance, he suddenly made rapid progress, taking a big step forward from the peak of the Grandmaster.

He vaguely felt that he was about to see the door of the Great Grandmaster.

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly stopped.

Zou Fang followed suit, looking around.

Chu Zhiyuan remained motionless, closing his eyes.

Zou Fang slowed his breathing, quietly listening to the surrounding movements. The surroundings were quiet, only the faint whistling of the mountain wind passing through the treetops.

The bright moon in the sky sprinkled clear light, coating everything with a layer of pale silver.

Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes and sighed, "As expected, it's not that smooth."

Zou Fang didn't ask much.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "There really is a problem."

Zou Fang said, "Young Master, is the Sect Leader of the Demonic Heart Sect not the real Sect Leader?"

Chu Zhiyuan slowly said, "It's just bait, there are four Grandmasters hidden around him, two Grandmasters from the evil sects, and two Grandmasters from the righteous sects."

His face was solemn.
