Imperial Cultivation

Inside Chu Zhiyuan's small courtyard in the Great Meng Sifang Pavilion, Dajing Courtyard, rows of Venerable statues were neatly arranged, forming four circles.

Chu Zhiyuan stood within the circles, quietly examining the red lines on these Venerable statues.

Through these red lines, he could discover which direction each evil sect had more disciples distributed.

The direction with the most disciples was often where the main altar was located.

They would never have thought that someone would use this method to determine the location of their main altar.

So they were unprepared.

Trying to stay closer to the lair is a subconscious act of humans, beyond control.

Zou Fang stood beside him, holding a huge scroll, as tall as a person and as wide as three outstretched arms, depicting the map of Great Meng.

Chu Zhiyuan occasionally stepped out of the circle of Venerable statues and went to the scroll, drawing a few strokes on the map.

Marking the direction of each evil sect.

As he was doing this, Zou Fang suddenly sensed something, turning his head to take a look.

Then he turned his head to look at Chu Zhiyuan.

"Yes, go ahead," Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.

Zou Fang gently put down the scroll and floated out.

He returned a moment later, holding a letter in his hand.

After opening the letter, he presented the letter to Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan took it, scanned the letter, frowned, and shook his head.

Among the disciples of the Nine Li Divine Sect, a group would enter the Divine Mountain.

She was one of them.

This matter was too sudden, and she didn't have time to come and say goodbye in person.

But fortunately, he would also ascend to the Outer Heavens and they could still meet.

When she arrived at the Outer Heavens, she could still play with Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue.

With the seniors and Xu Suying in the sect, she had no worries or fears about the future, but was full of longing, like going from a small town to a big city.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at the letter and shook his head helplessly.

Xu Yingying was truly a happy person, not thinking about negative things, only thinking about good things.

And she was blessed with luck, never encountering bad things, and good things happening one after another.

After reading Xu Yingying's letter, Chu Zhiyuan's mood suddenly became clear.

It seemed that this was not an isolated case, and the Nine Li Divine Sect was clearly more experienced.

This was the foundation of a major sect.

Even the White Cloud Sword Palace and the other four sects knew nothing, and had never even been exposed to this kind of secret.

Among the four great demonic sects, if both the Moon Invitation Palace and the Nine Li Divine Sect could ascend, what about the other two sects?

It was a pity that he hadn't had any communication with Meng Canglan recently, and didn't know how she was doing.

If Meng Canglan was also leaving, he wondered if she would write him a letter.

He thought for a moment and said, "Zou Fang, have Ma Tianhe investigate where Meng Canglan is now."

"Yes," Zou Fang replied softly.

Chu Zhiyuan looked towards the east.

The Boundless Joy Sect's support for him was still immense, and if he really ascended the throne, he would have to give them a certain reward.

If Meng Canglan also ascended and left, his connection with the Boundless Joy Sect would not be so close.

But now at this stage, he no longer needed Meng Canglan to mediate.

Chu Zhiyuan quickly put aside these thoughts and continued to sense the red lines on the Venerable statues.

An hour later, he said, "Zou Fang, please invite Mr. Su over."

"Yes," Zou Fang agreed.

Grandmasters have a connection between them.

After a while, Su Qiuyan appeared, smiling and saying, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Mr. Su, I need to cast a net to gather information."

"Gather information?" Su Qiuyan looked at the scroll hanging in the pavilion.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I have already sensed the directions of these evil sects, but the specific locations still need to be investigated by sending people to confirm, which requires a large number of personnel."

"As expected of Your Highness," Su Qiuyan examined the evil sects marked on the scroll one by one.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "A small number of people won't do."

If he rode a horse, it would take him forever to run through all these directions and places.

At this time, he needed to borrow the power of the entire imperial court, which was why he had been seeking the Three Dynasties Agreement.

"In that case — — — —"

Su Qiuyan looked at the scroll, estimating the number of people.

Only the directions were marked on it, and through these markings, it was found that most of them were concentrated in the west.

And the western army was sparse, just like the eastern border of the Great Jing Dynasty, with no threat, so naturally not many troops needed to be stationed there.

Without the power of the army, it would be impossible to completely search the entire west with just a handful of people.

She thought for a moment, "I estimate that both the Listening Wind Pavilion and the Listening Rain Pavilion will need to be mobilized."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I want to meet the leaders in charge of this area, and I have some things to personally instruct them."

"Alright, I will report to the Emperor," Su Qiuyan readily agreed and disappeared.

Chu Zhiyuan withdrew his gaze from the huge scroll and focused on the Venerable statues.

Each Venerable statue had dense red lines, some thick, some thin, some long, some short.

It was almost impossible to remember these red lines, as they were too complex.

Chu Zhiyuan used imprinted memory to imprint the whole thing in his mind.

Then he constantly compared its changes.

Through these changes, he could know the directional movements of these evil sect disciples.

He discovered that evil sect disciples were constantly rushing towards Tianjing.

According to the current trend, in about three days, these evil sect experts would gather in Tianjing.

At that time, the number of evil sect experts in Tianjing would explode, many times more than before.

Thousands or even tens of thousands of evil sect experts would arrive in Tianjing, which would be a huge test.

He would have to kill all these people himself.

A clear voice suddenly came from outside, "Fourth Prince, this humble one, Meng Gengbai, is here to pay his respects to Your Highness."

Chu Zhiyuan had already seen an elegant young man standing outside the Great Jing Courtyard.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, "Please invite him in."

"Yes," Zou Fang replied and floated out.

A moment later, Meng Gengbai appeared in the small courtyard, and couldn't help but be surprised by the scene in the courtyard.

Chu Zhiyuan stood in the center of the Venerable statues, looked at Meng Gengbai, clasped his fists and smiled, "Young Master Meng, what brings you here?"

"This humble one heard that the White Rainbow Style was taught by Your Highness?"

"Yes," Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "It can be considered a sword technique I created myself."

Meng Gengbai took out a thin booklet from his arms, yellow with a bright light, made of strange material, and presented it with both hands, "This humble one obtained this sword manual in a cave dwelling three years ago."

Chu Zhiyuan was puzzled, "This is — — — —?

"I heard that Your Highness's swordsmanship is also superb and your comprehension is amazing, so I specially invite Your Highness to take a look at this sword manual."

Chu Zhiyuan licked his lips.

Zou Fang stepped forward, took it, flipped through it, and then gently pushed it.

The yellowish, bright booklet slowly floated towards Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan took it, flipped through it page by page, a total of ten pages, and finished flipping through it in the blink of an eye.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Meng Gengbai thoughtfully, "Good swordsmanship."

Meng Gengbai smiled bitterly, "Unfortunately, I can't comprehend this swordsmanship."

"Flowing Wind Sword Art, this is a combination of the meaning of flowing water and clear wind," Chu Zhiyuan said, "It shouldn't be difficult to comprehend, right?"

This set of sword techniques is extremely exquisite, taking the meaning of water and wind.

One must have enough understanding and comprehension of water and wind, otherwise the exquisite moves of the sword will not be able to be displayed.
