Imperial Cultivation

He had already struck a pose identical to the mural, with absolutely no difference, definitely more standard than anyone else.

With his heightened senses, he compared his posture with the mural, meticulously adjusting details to achieve perfect imitation.

If he were to practice each image individually, through all nine levels of mastery, maintaining the pose for so long would inevitably lead to slight deviations.

Ordinary people wouldn't notice these changes, but they couldn't escape his heightened senses.

Since his heightened senses confirmed no change, it meant his practice was incorrect.

Therefore, he decided to try a different method.

He stood up and once again struck the first pose, transitioning to the second posture after one breath, then to the third after another, and then the fourth.

He practiced all the way to the ninth posture in one go, then cycled back from the first posture.

After three repetitions, feeling a wisp of cool air within his Ren meridian, he smiled.

He had finally figured out the practice method!

A strand of cool air drifted within the Ren meridian, his throat felt refreshed, and his heart became tranquil, as if all worldly troubles had vanished.

This cool air was distinct from the aura of the Great Purple Sun Art, not interfering with each other, clearly coexisting within the Ren meridian, yet seeming like two separate meridians.

He tentatively concluded: circulating the nine postures draws lunar essence into the body, which is the practice method of the Jade Splendor Ninefold Records.

This cool air differs from both true qi and stellar qi, being pure and clear, falling between true qi and stellar qi.

As pure as stellar qi, but far less tyrannical and fierce, more gentle like true qi.

Chu Zhiyuan paused under the moonlight, pondering slowly.

The clear light sprinkled into the courtyard.

His handsome face was like white jade.

His eyes, lost in thought, sparkled like cold stars.

This aura is much stronger than the Lesser Purple Sun Art, could it be that it is a more powerful introductory technique than the Lesser Purple Sun Art?

But the Lesser Purple Sun Art is the most top-tier introductory technique in the world, otherwise it wouldn't have been chosen as the fundamental martial art of the Great Jing Imperial Family.

Yet the clear aura absorbed by the Jade Splendor Ninefold Records is indeed purer than the Lesser Purple Sun Art.

However, the level of a technique cannot be judged solely by the purity of its aura; other factors must be considered, such as the difficulty of entry and the height of its potential.

The Lesser Purple Sun Art is the entry point to the Purple Sun Scripture, which leads to the Great Purple Sun Art and the Purple Sun Scripture, progressing all the way to the Grandmaster Completion.

Practicing the Purple Sun Scripture can perfect one's essence, qi, and spirit, making it easier to achieve the Grandmaster realm.

Therefore, the Lesser Purple Sun Art may not be as powerful as the Jade Splendor Ninefold Records, but its future is far greater.

He quickly awoke from his thoughts and practiced again under the moonlight, generating strands of clear aura until his meridians could no longer absorb any more.

This was the limit.

He felt strange. Could it be that there was only a method for absorbing lunar essence, but no method for transforming it?

Then this is only half a technique.

Within the dantian, purple qi and xenon-argon formed a nebula-like vortex.

As soon as this icy aura entered, it was like a drop of water falling into a boiling oil pot.

The dantian immediately trembled.

A phrase spontaneously arose in his mind: water and fire are incompatible!

He drew his sword and thrust it out, his figure flashing.

The Great Avalanche Swordplay and the Ruler of the Horizon Step rapidly consumed true qi, quickly emptying the xenon-argon purple qi within his dantian.

Without the xenon-argon purple qi, only the icy aura remained, and the dantian returned to tranquility, with the vortex formed by the icy aura slowly circulating.

Qingying Sword slowly returned to its sheath.

He let out a long sigh of relief, standing under the moonlight in thought.

The aura of the forward nine postures and the Great Purple Sun Art are like well water not interfering with river water, but the aura of the reverse nine postures and the Great Purple Sun Art are like water and fire, incompatible.

The two cannot be cultivated simultaneously.

He leaped onto the artificial mountain, holding the two throwing knives and the Heaven Concealment Stone in his hands.

The icy aura in his dantian was like bees smelling fragrance; without him urging it, it surged out of the dantian and into the throwing knives.

Chu Zhiyuan put down the Heaven Concealment Stone, holding a throwing knife in each hand.

As the icy aura poured in, the throwing knives rapidly changed.

One began to turn black, and the other turned white.

When the cold energy in his body completely disappeared, one knife had turned half black, and the other had turned half white.

Chu Zhiyuan circulated the Earth Origin Art.

The Earth Origin Art extracted earth origin qi like a water pump, transforming it into cold energy and continuously injecting it into the two knives.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The Earth Origin Art, indeed, is worthy of being called the Earth Origin Art!

I have always underestimated the Earth Origin Art; it is so miraculous!

With the seed of the Jade Splendor Ninefold Records' true qi in his dantian, the Earth Origin Art can extract this kind of true qi from the earth; it is truly miraculous.

Under the continuous flow of cold energy, one knife was as black as ink, and the other was as white as snow.

As the colors of the two knives changed, their weight also became lighter, like holding two feathers, as if they could be blown away by the wind with a slight release.

The black knife and the white knife were like Black and White Impermanence, causing a strange killing intent to rise in his heart, eager to move, wanting to kill.

Under his heightened senses, the two knives were filled with an invisible aura, affecting his mood.

At the same time, he faintly felt a trace of suction.

An extremely weak trace of suction.

Like the opposite poles of a magnet, the distance made this suction extremely weak, difficult to perceive, yet it could not escape his heightened senses. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he gently overlapped the two knives.

Tip to tip, hilt to hilt, perfectly aligned, without the slightest difference.

"Ding—" A melodious sound like jade chiming suddenly rang in his ears.

A feeling of enlightenment struck him.

A mantra instantly appeared in his mind, a Heart Inquiry Saber Art.

Looking down, the black and white knives had actually disappeared.

They had vanished into thin air without a trace.

They were actually invisible.

They merged into the void; if he weren't holding them, he wouldn't even feel their existence.

He waved them gently, the blade was light and smooth, as agile as his fingers, completely integrated with him.

A strange feeling arose that he could hit wherever he pointed.

Although these knives are invisible, they cannot escape his heightened senses.

Under his heightened senses, it was clearly visible that they were flashing with a strange aura, and this aura allowed them to merge with the void.

He flicked his hand.

"Bang!" A small pebble under the wall in the distance shattered.

A transparent throwing knife appeared next to it, as if carved from ice.

Chu Zhiyuan flashed over there, picked up the transparent throwing knife, and gently separated it, turning it into two throwing knives.

At this time, the throwing knives returned to their original appearance, as thin as cicada wings, as if carved from white jade, seemingly without an edge.

Chu Zhiyuan exhausted all of the aura of the Jade Splendor Ninefold Records, and then circulated the Great Purple Sun Art, using the Great Purple Sun Art to circulate the Heart Inquiry Saber Art.

Under the strange aura, both Heart Inquiry Sabers became invisible.

He couldn't help but smile.

The Jade Splendor Ninefold Records was only an introduction, leading to the Heart Inquiry Saber Art, and the true control of the Heart Inquiry Saber did not require the Jade Splendor Ninefold Records.

Then what is the origin of the Jade Splendor Ninefold Records and the Heart Inquiry Saber?

Could it be that the Heart Inquiry Saber also originated from the Moon Invitation Palace?

His gaze turned to the Heaven Concealment Stone. What about this jade?

Then he tried it.

Unfortunately, the Heaven Concealment Stone was completely unresponsive, as if it had been completely废掉 (廢掉 -廢掉) - Ruined.

Chu Zhiyuan put them away and began to play with the Heart Inquiry Sabers.

He finally understood the origin of the name Heart Inquiry Saber.

Similar to the Great Avalanche Swordplay, it transforms the essence, qi, and spirit of the whole body into one saber.

If it doesn't kill the enemy, then you will die.

The enemy's life and death, your own life and death, are all in one saber.

Is it life, or is it death? You must first ask your own heart clearly.

Otherwise, once the saber is drawn, it will be too late to regret.

The power of this saber lies in controlling the saber with the spirit, adding mental power, which can break stellar qi.

Using this saber damages the soul and is not beneficial to advancing to the Grandmaster realm.

However, he didn't care. With the Heaven Origin Art, he could replenish his mental exhaustion at any time.

A saber that can break stellar qi is equivalent to a stellar qi-breaking divine weapon.

There are not many stellar qi-breaking divine weapons in the world.

It is worth at least a fifth-grade technique!

This Cheng Tianfeng has all good things on him, but it is a pity that the jade is ruined, and I can't find a way to restore it for the time being.

He held the two Heart Inquiry Sabers and admired them on the couch for a while.

Half an hour later, he began to absorb the Flying Dragon Bone until dawn.

He was intimidated by the killing intent of the thin old man, so he practiced even harder.
