Imperial Cultivation

As he hurried on, he kept a close watch on the handsome young man's every move.

The handsome young man strolled leisurely, occasionally digging at stones and examining exotic flowers and rare herbs.

However, the exotic flowers and rare herbs of the Jade Scene Grotto-heaven were not so easily identified, and he gained no other harvest.

He also occasionally encountered some animals, large or small.

When he encountered them, he would effortlessly end their lives with a single palm strike.

At the same time, he would press down on their foreheads.

He could see a wisp of seven-colored light floating from the foreheads of these animals into the handsome young man's palm.

As this wisp of seven-colored light entered his palm, a flush appeared on the handsome young man's face, as if he were drinking sweet nectar.

His emerald green pupils became radiant, as if he had obtained a great tonic.

Chu Zhiyuan's face was gloomy.

This was the Demon race, devouring.

Just like the heretical sect demons in the Little Outer Heavens, they could only devour essence and blood.

But these demons, some devoured essence and blood, some devoured cultivation, and some even devoured souls.

Low-level demons devoured essence and blood, high-level demons devoured souls, and even a bit of primal yang.

This bit of primal yang was supremely refined and pure; if a heavenly demon devoured it, it could even increase its lifespan.

As soon as Chu Zhiyuan saw these devourers, he couldn't help but feel murderous intent.

He saw the faces of those heretical sect demons, their wickedness, and knew how destructive and hateful this ability was.

Therefore, he had a strong murderous intent towards the entire Demon race; all demon spawn deserved to die.

He suddenly understood.

No wonder this heavenly demon wasn't very enthusiastic about exotic flowers and rare fruits; for the Demon race, the best elixir was humans.

And these exotic flowers and rare fruits had very little attraction for them, not as good as directly devouring humans.

He gritted his teeth, a strange impulse arose in his heart, and he wanted to kill this heavenly demon first.

But as soon as this thought arose, a strong sense of crisis surged up.

His face changed slightly: this heavenly demon could actually kill him!

It was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, instantly sobering him up.

He should still monitor him first, find out what he was trying to do and how he got in.

As for dealing with him, he should wait and see if he could obtain the Void Treasure of Heavenly Peak.

If he obtained the treasure, his abilities might greatly increase.

Or he might obtain a unique inheritance.

Or his comprehension might greatly increase, pushing the Spirit Entry level Great Subduing Demon Seal to the Transformation level or even the Divine Entry level.

So he continued on his way, wanting to find Heavenly Peak as soon as possible.

He hoped that there was only one heavenly demon who had entered, and he hoped that these heavenly demons hadn't found Heavenly Peak or damaged it.

If they were one step ahead in finding Heavenly Peak, and even obtained the Void Treasure, that would be a real disaster.

— —

The moonlight was like water.

He stood by a gurgling stream, looking up at the towering and majestic mountain peak opposite, and knew that he had found his target.

The mountain peak in front of him soared into the clouds, half of it covered by clouds.

But it could not hide from his Insight.

Above the mountain peak, clouds and mist obscured it, vegetation was lush, strange rocks were piled up, and streams flowed gently.

The mountain was high, dangerous, and strange, yet also quiet and moving, a scenic spot.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at it with leisurely longing.

If he could reside here to cultivate, that would be a real enjoyment.

Compared to Great Bright Peak, this mountain peak was a true holy land for cultivation.

He stepped forward, about to set foot on this peak.

He prepared to first pass through the dense ancient forest in front of him, then go up, bypass the dense strange rocks, and reach the uppermost thatched huts.

Presumably, that was where the true essence of Heavenly Peak lay, that was where the Void Treasure was.

But his figure suddenly stopped, actually blocked by an invisible and tyrannical force.

Chu Zhiyuan was stunned.

He had never heard that this Heavenly Peak would be like this.

He tried it, the invisible force was flexible and tyrannical, making it impossible to move forward even a step.

Unwilling, he circulated his energy forward, the Yin-Yang Fish reversed, and streams of pure aura poured into his body.

But he still couldn't get in.

A flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly threw a punch.

The Spirit Entry level Great Bright Fist transformed into a fist of light, crashing into the invisible force.

Suddenly, a great light shone before his eyes, and then a clear "ding" sound echoed in all directions.

The originally strong and tenacious force suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

He stepped forward, with no more obstacles.

He took two steps back, returning to his original position, and the strong force reappeared, trying to squeeze him away.

So he used the Great Bright Fist again.

"Ding..." A clear sound.

The force in front of him loosened, and the tyrannical and flexible force disappeared again.

He slowly nodded, a smile appearing on his face.

So this Great Bright Fist was the key to opening it, the pass.

If he didn't have the Great Bright Fist, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to enter this Heavenly Peak.

He surveyed the surroundings, and after a dozen steps, came to a stone wall.

The stone wall was located within the forest, with five large, bright red characters written on it.

"Great Brightness Illuminates All."

A line of small characters in the lower right corner: "In the eighteenth year of the Yuancheng Era, Chu Chunhan obtained the Void Treasure, the Great Bright Crown, comprehended the Great Bright Fist, and hereby leaves the intent of the Great Bright Fist, awaiting future generations to come."

Chu Zhiyuan was thoughtful.

The name Chu Chunhan could be said to be thunderous.

The founder of the Jade Scene Dynasty, the founding emperor, was Chu Chunhan.

It was said that the Jade Scene Dynasty had a very deep connection with the Jade Scene Grotto-heaven; could it be because of this Heavenly Peak?

He closed his eyes, carefully recalling what he had seen earlier, feeling the fist intent of the Great Bright Fist: soft, strong, tenacious.

This was different from what he understood.

Then he took another step back, returned to the stream, and squeezed forward again.

Soft, tough, and tyrannical, no matter how hard he tried, it was useless, making it difficult to advance even a step.

Was this the fist intent of the Great Bright Fist?

He stretched out his palm forward, pressing it onto the invisible force, as if pressing on a ball.

Closing his eyes, the Great Bright Fist's state of mind and moves slowly merged, his heart constantly capturing and sensing.

Vaguely, he felt the softness and tenacity, slowly pouring into his heart.

He knew softness and tenacity, but his actions had always been tough.

Relying on his extrasensory perception, as well as his high intelligence, he was calm and meticulous, annihilating opponents in a kind of dimensionality reduction strike.

He knew that actions needed to combine both strength and gentleness, but he lacked true softness and tenacity.

At this time, he felt the softness and tenacity from this fist energy.

Softness and tenacity were like trickling streams, slowly flowing into his heart.

He suddenly threw a punch.

A soft light flashed in the void, a faint soft light shot into the distance, penetrated the dense ancient trees, collided with the ancient trees, causing the branches and leaves to rustle, but they were not injured.

But it could be both firm and soft, changing at will, the distance could be far or near, no longer confined to fist shadows and fist shapes, light was the fist, and the fist was light.

Although it was called the Great Bright Fist, it was actually Great Brightness.

This was the Spirit Transformation level Great Bright Fist.

He couldn't help but want to roar loudly; even if he didn't get the Void Treasure on this trip, it was already worth it.

After reaching the Spirit Entry level, he could no longer find a way to continue to improve; all inspiration seemed to have been exhausted, and no matter how he comprehended, he couldn't comprehend the way forward.

Now he knew that the Great Bright Fist's strength was not only fierce and swift, but also soft and tenacious.

Filled with emotion, he came to the stone wall and suddenly threw a light punch.

"Bang!" A ball of light landed on the stone wall.

The Spirit Transformation level Great Bright Fist collided with the invisible force.

After the two forces collided, a brighter light flashed, and suddenly shrank.

Transforming into a figure.

A slender and handsome middle-aged man suddenly appeared before him, standing in the air, wearing a crystal clear crown, smiling as he looked at him.
