Imperial Cultivation

“Ninth Prince is mighty!”

“Ninth Prince, how magnificent!”

“That's great!”

Cheers echoed endlessly.

Chu Zhiyuan walked slowly through the crowd, and the crowd automatically parted to make way.

He originally thought that the people should hate the Phoenix Dynasty the most, because the Phoenix Dynasty launched wars and oppressed the Jade Scenery Dynasty at every turn.

But the reality was that the Jade Scenery Dynasty hated the Yuanzhen Dynasty the most, even more than the Phoenix Dynasty.

Towards the Phoenix Dynasty, there was both hatred and a bit of admiration and awe.

He thought that going to the Phoenix Dynasty to be a consort was a great humiliation, but in the eyes of the Jade Scenery Dynasty's people, it was a matter of honor.

Regardless of whether the prince was going as a hostage, he was still marrying a princess of the Phoenix Dynasty after all.

Moreover, it was the twelfth princess, who was as beautiful as a fairy, extremely talented, and greatly favored.

This was the first time a prince of the Jade Scenery Dynasty had married a princess of the Phoenix Dynasty.

They felt that the princess of the Phoenix Dynasty had a noble status, and for a prince to marry her was a great honor.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head helplessly.

He never expected them to think this way, which was completely different from what he thought.

He looked down at the round pearl in his palm.

It was the size of a dragon's eye, crystal clear, like ice, perfectly round and flawless.

But he had seen before that this pearl was seven-colored, similar to the Soul Pearls of the Demon race.

He suspected that this pearl was a Soul Pearl.

After holding it in his palm, he knew that it was not a Soul Pearl, but an existence similar to a Soul Pearl.

Because of this, Cheng Yunzheng was able to use the Heaven-Questioning Divine Sword so many times.

If it weren't for this pearl, Cheng Yunzheng probably wouldn't have been able to use the Heaven-Questioning Divine Sword long ago, and would have been at his mercy.

So, he directly took the pearl when he made his move.

Presumably, Cheng Yunzheng has also noticed it by now.

But so what if he noticed?

No one saw that he was the one who took it, it's just speculation, and he doesn't need to admit it.

He speculated that this pearl had similar magical uses to a Soul Pearl, able to absorb spiritual power.

Absorbing spiritual power meant that it could assist in cultivation and extend the time for contemplation.

Extending the time for contemplation meant extending the time for cultivation.

For cultivating the Boundless Brightness Sutra, insufficient spiritual power, leading to insufficient cultivation time, was the situation for everyone.

Because cultivating the Boundless Brightness Sutra consumed too much spiritual power.

He had found the secret to cultivating the Boundless Brightness Sutra, directly contemplating the Great Bright Peak, overcoming this shortcoming.

But that didn't mean that his spiritual power was sufficient.

Leaving the Great Bright Peak to cultivate at night still consumed a huge amount of spiritual power.

Cultivating the Great Bright Fist also consumed spiritual power, and spiritual power was still not enough.

Since having the Soul Pearl, this pain point had been resolved.

If this pearl only had this function, then its effect would overlap with the Soul Pearl.

“This is the Spirit-Nurturing Treasure Pearl.”

Chu Honglin held the pearl above his head, facing the sun in the sky above the Great Bright Peak, watching it shimmer with seven-colored light, and said slowly.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: “What are the magical uses of the Spirit-Nurturing Treasure Pearl?”

“Accumulating spiritual power.” Chu Honglin tossed the pearl to Chu Zhiyuan: “Hold it well, this is a rare treasure pearl.”

“Does Fifteenth Uncle have one?”

“I don't have that luck.” Chu Honglin snorted: “I've heard of it but never obtained it.”

“Isn't there one in the Imperial Treasury?”

“There are only a few such treasure pearls in the world, how could they be kept in the Imperial Treasury.”

Chu Zhiyuan tossed the pearl to Chu Honglin: “Fifteenth Uncle, you keep it.”

“Give it to me?” Chu Honglin was taken aback, catching the treasure pearl.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded and said: “Fifteenth Uncle seems to like it very much, then keep it.”

Chu Honglin laughed: “You are too generous, do you know the magical uses of this pearl?”

“Accumulating spiritual power, you can use spiritual power.” Chu Zhiyuan said: “It can assist in cultivation and also assist in fighting, I think Fifteenth Uncle needs it more.”

“With its help, you can cultivate longer!” Chu Honglin snorted: “Now is the critical moment for your cultivation, you need it the most!”

Saying these words, he tossed the Spirit-Nurturing Treasure Pearl back to Chu Zhiyuan again: “Hold it well, don't let anyone steal it.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: “Fifteenth Uncle——”

“Stop being long-winded!” Chu Honglin said unhappily: “Don't keep passing it back and forth, it's yours, you keep it, this kind of treasure requires opportunity!”

“Okay, okay.” Chu Zhiyuan said helplessly.

He actually had a Soul Pearl, which he could use to extract spiritual power.

So this pearl wasn't that useful to him.

Seeing that Chu Honglin liked it, he wanted to give it to Chu Honglin, which could also be regarded as a reward for his care all along.

Chu Honglin said: “It seems that this Fifth Prince not only has good aptitude, but also extremely good luck, he must have obtained it through a lucky encounter.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: “Those with good aptitude often have good luck, after all, without good luck, how can there be good aptitude?”

One of the most important luck a person has is the luck of being reborn, being reborn as a prince, their luck is not bad.

If their aptitude is also good, then their luck is even more outstanding, and it's not surprising to have a lucky encounter.

Chu Honglin sighed: “I really didn't expect that you could greatly defeat those two princes.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: “There was also an element of luck, especially when I tore Cheng Yunqi's clothes, hehe——”

Chu Honglin shook his head and said: “This action lacks style, your imperial father doesn't like it.”

Chu Zhiyuan snorted and said: “They wanted to snatch my woman, and wanted to snatch her in front of me, and I still have to talk to him about style?

Is Father Emperor senile?!”

“Shut up!” Chu Honglin said unhappily: “You dare to say anything.”

Chu Zhiyuan snorted: “I would dare to say these words even in front of Father Emperor, this kind of guy should be severely punished, why should we leave them any face!”

He wouldn't point out that the two wanted to kill him, after all, it was just empty words, and he would only be considered frivolous.

Chu Honglin said: “In any case, you won, greatly boosting the prestige of our dynasty.”

Chu Zhiyuan immediately smiled and said: “Does Father Emperor have any rewards?”

“...No.” Chu Honglin shook his head.

Chu Zhiyuan immediately lowered his face and sneered: “This is Father Emperor! If it were my eldest brother, second brother, or third brother,

There would have been generous rewards long ago!”

Chu Honglin sighed and said: “Zhao'er, your marriage will be brought forward.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Chu Honglin said: “Three months later, you will get married.”

“Only three months?” Chu Zhiyuan frowned: “Why so fast?”

“It was His Imperial Majesty who proposed changing the wedding date to avoid complications.”

“The Yuanzhen Dynasty guys have been dealt with by me, they have no face to stir up trouble again, what complications!”

“The Yuanzhen Dynasty will not give up, they are unpredictable when they play tricks, that Heaven-Questioning Pavilion is much more powerful than our Imperial Observatory.”

“I can only obey?”

“Do you dare to disobey the imperial decree? You will be directly confined, or even demoted to a commoner.”

Chu Zhiyuan fell silent.

Being demoted to a commoner meant that the Boundless Brightness Sutra would be taken back, and his cultivation would be abolished.

“Zhao'er, have you ever thought about why the Yuanzhen people want to poach you, to become the consort of the Twelfth Princess?”

“Why?”

“Yuanzhen has the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, which can see some future events.” Chu Honglin snorted: “Obviously, becoming the consort of the Twelfth Princess definitely has great benefits.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and pondered.

Besides the divine bloodline in the Twelfth Princess, are there other benefits?

Chu Honglin said: “If the Yuanzhen people didn't snatch, you could understand if you didn't want to be this consort, now that the Yuanzhen people are snatching, then you can't let go of this opportunity!”
