Imperial Cultivation

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.

What he originally thought was a dispensable item, even unwanted, immediately became a treasure when someone else tried to snatch it.

Or perhaps it was a diamond covered in dust, unknown to him but recognized by the people of Yuanzhen.

He was already aware that the Jade Scenery Dynasty had the Bureau of Astronomy, the Phoenix Dynasty had the Palace of Heavenly Decree, and the Yuanzhen Dynasty had the Pavilion of Asking Heaven, all extraordinary places that could perceive the world and foresee the future.

However, as the long years passed, these extraordinary places were slowly losing their brilliance.

The descendants were unworthy, their knowledge becoming increasingly inadequate, unable to see through the future.

Only the Pavilion of Asking Heaven was somewhat better, still able to see fragments of the future.

However, being able to see fragments of the future was not that miraculous; before absolute strength, it still couldn't stir up any waves.

If one could see the complete future, even just one year ahead, the benefits would be immeasurable.

But only seeing fragmented glimpses of the future didn't offer much help.

This kind of help couldn't reverse the disparity in strength, but for the Jade Scenery Dynasty, it was extremely alarming.

Whatever the Yuanzhen Dynasty wanted to snatch must be a good thing, and they absolutely couldn't let them have it.

This was the consensus of the Jade Scenery Dynasty from top to bottom.

"This Spirit Accumulating Pearl also has another effect," Chu Honglin said in a deep voice.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at him in confusion.

Chu Honglin said, "It also has defensive abilities, capable of resisting mental attacks, especially those from the demon race."

Chu Zhiyuan's spirits lifted.

Chu Honglin said, "In fact, for many experts in the Transformation God Realm, this is the most important thing."

"Resisting mental attacks…" Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

"Alright, think about it carefully, don't always go against your imperial brother, there's no benefit in it."

"Fifteenth Uncle, I understand," Chu Zhiyuan knew he meant well.

He was pondering the Spirit Accumulating Pearl's ability to resist mental attacks.

He couldn't help but think of the imitation of the Ode to Light.

He didn't want to reveal the mysteries of the Ode to Light to others, so he had to do it when they were all away.

As evening approached, Chu Zhiyuan returned to his small courtyard.

Youlan was beaming with joy.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at her, "Does Auntie have good news?"

"Your Highness, the news of your great defeat of the Fifth and Sixth Princes of Yuanzhen, and the recovery of the Twelfth Prince, has spread everywhere, and everyone is full of praise!"

"This matter…" Chu Zhiyuan immediately understood, shaking his head, "This isn't really good news."

Youlan said with a smile, "The morale of everyone in our residence has been greatly boosted at once."

Following a prince was already a rare opportunity, but if it was a prince with a brighter future, that would be even better.

The guards and attendants of the Prince's Residence had the same idea.

Chu Zhiyuan's strong defeat of the Fifth and Sixth Princes of Yuanzhen demonstrated his amazing talent.

This alone allowed everyone to see a future of limitless brightness, to see hope.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Then take this opportunity to rectify the internal and external affairs of the residence."

"Your Highness is wise," Youlan smiled, "Rectifying the Prince's Mansion is the right time."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Don't make it too strict, otherwise it will really fall apart."

He was only just gaining momentum now, not enough to make people work together wholeheartedly.

They were just seeing a glimmer of hope.

"Yes," Youlan replied.

After dinner, Chu Zhiyuan flashed and appeared on the First Peak of Spirit Abyss.

Standing beside the middle-aged man's statue, he examined the round pearl in his hand.

The Spirit Accumulating Pearl looked ordinary, without any fluctuations, and no mental power could be sensed.

He was very curious, did this mental power need to be injected into it usually?

If that was the case, the effect would be somewhat lacking.

If it could recover on its own and increase on its own, that would be truly wonderful.

He thought for a while, then stuffed it into his sleeve and began to perform the first stance of the Spirit Abyss Body Cleansing Record.

Instantly, violent power drilled out of the earth, drilling towards his feet.

The violent power seemed to want to crush his feet, like an explosion.

Chu Zhiyuan tried his best to control the surging violent power while urging the Moon Silk Frost Garment to resist.

The Moon Silk Frost Garment seemed to be integrated with his skin, and his feet could also be defended.

The violent power poured into the Moon Silk Frost Garment, and the Moon Silk Frost Garment glowed slightly.

The original power was immediately weakened by nine-tenths, with only one-tenth of the power pouring into his feet.

The remaining nine-tenths of the power was injected into the Moon Silk Frost Garment.

He simultaneously maintained insight.

The Moon Silk Frost Garment was actually absorbing these violent powers, transforming them into its own power.

This surprised him quite a bit.

If it were other external forces, the Moon Silk Frost Garment would only unload them, not absorb them.

But thinking that the Moon Silk Frost Garment was activated on the First Peak of Spirit Abyss, he vaguely understood.

The power of Spirit Abyss was a great tonic for it.

It was, after all, a wondrous object from the Protoss era, and the power of Spirit Abyss should be the power of that era.

He was distracted in many places.

One was urging the Spirit Abyss Body Cleansing Record, the second was observing the Spirit Accumulating Pearl, and the third was observing the Moon Silk Frost Garment.

The Spirit Accumulating Pearl was actually faintly glowing.

This surprised him quite a bit.

The Spirit Accumulating Pearl did not replenish his mental power, was it resisting mental attacks?

But it didn't seem to be resisting attacks, but rather absorbing power, just like the Moon Silk Frost Garment.

He was incredibly astonished.

The power of this Spirit Abyss was so miraculous, did it come with mental power?

His feet were slowly changing, both physically, with changes in tissue structure, and intangibly, as if they were growing larger, several times larger.

An indescribable feeling arose spontaneously, that he was connected to the earth.

When practiced to the ultimate level, the power of the earth would be his own power, able to be used by him.

The reason he had such ghostly movements, able to easily defeat Cheng Yunzheng and Cheng Yunqi, was due to the assistance of the Moon Silk Frost Garment, as well as the changes in his feet.

Without the changes in his feet, with his original movements alone, even with the help of the Moon Silk Frost Garment, he would not have been able to defeat Cheng Yunzheng and Cheng Yunqi so easily.

Time slowly passed.

He felt more and more strenuous, more and more unable to bear it.

His feet seemed to have grown five times larger.

And the Spirit Accumulating Pearl had already turned emerald green, much like the demon crystals he had absorbed in the past.

Chu Zhiyuan's heart trembled slightly.

Could this Spirit Accumulating Pearl be a demon crystal that had been drained of its power?

What was its connection to demon crystals?

He suddenly moved, dispersing the first stance of the Spirit Abyss Body Cleansing Record.

The violent power stopped abruptly, no longer pouring in.

He breathed a sigh of relief, if he had delayed for a moment, his feet would have really exploded.

At this time, his feet were as if they had been burned, painfully hot and numb.

His feet, five times larger, were more closely connected to the earth, and his speed was faster.

He used insight to observe the Moon Silk Frost Garment.

It had become softer, but also more flexible, and more secretive.

But its power had become stronger.

He began to circulate the secrets of the Moon Silk Frost Garment, and began to refine the Spirit Accumulating Pearl.

After a moment, he stopped.

The Spirit Accumulating Pearl was just the Spirit Accumulating Pearl, it was indeed not a demon crystal.

It could not be refined like a demon crystal, and integrated into the Moon Silk Frost Garment.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief instead.

The next morning, he arrived at the True Martial Academy early.

The True Martial Academy was empty, and his spirits lifted, and he sat down in front of the Karma Stone Wall.
