Imperial Cultivation

Chu Zhiyuan originally thought Cheng Tianfeng could hold on.

But Cheng Tianfeng ultimately couldn't hold on.

Things went from bad to worse, adding frost to snow, injury upon injury. Despite Cheng Tianfeng's best efforts to vent these past few days, he ultimately gained no advantage and couldn't release his anger.

He was severely injured again by Chu Zhiyuan, and after the stimulation, he could no longer contain his anger and frustration. All negative emotions erupted at once, leading to cultivation deviation.

Chu Zhiyuan knew that from then on, Cheng Tianfeng would have a mental demon.

Without removing the mental demon, it would be difficult to become a Grandmaster.

Achieving Great Grandmaster would be almost impossible.

If Wentian Cliff had no other means to resolve his mental demon, he would probably be crippled, and Great Zhen would lose a genius.

A genius most likely to become emperor.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

He needed to intensify his cultivation and quickly advance to Grandmaster.

With Cheng Tianfeng crippled, how could the Great Zhen royal family and Wentian Cliff let it go?

Even if they couldn't openly deal with him, they would definitely try to plot against him in secret, trying to hinder his path to Great Grandmaster.

If asked if he regretted it, he would unhesitatingly say no.

Even without this incident, the Great Zhen royal family and Wentian Cliff would secretly obstruct him, hindering his advancement to Great Grandmaster.

Even with this incident, they wouldn't openly confront him, but would definitely plot in secret.

The result would be the same, so why should he hold back and not deal with Cheng Tianfeng?

Cheng Tianfeng was so reckless, insisting on targeting his woman, and he had to endure it again and again? What would he become then? How could he step into the Great Grandmaster realm?

At that moment, he only felt his mind clear and incomparably refreshed. The Great Violet Sun Art stirred spontaneously, suddenly surging powerfully.

He had a flash of inspiration, guiding the xenon-argon purple energy of the Great Violet Sun Art towards the Jade Tower. He didn't use the Dragon Binding Cord or the Sword Cleansing Art, but simply relied on the original xenon-argon purple energy of the Great Violet Sun Art to charge forward.

"Boom!"

"The legends are actually true."

Guo Chi and the others congratulated him one after another, overjoyed.

They had heard of enlightenment breakthroughs, but had never seen it with their own eyes. Now they finally witnessed it.

While walking, he directly broke through a level, crossing from the tenth floor of the Acquired Realm to the eleventh floor.

It was truly a casual breakthrough.

This was too enviable.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "Let's go, Drunken Immortal Pavilion!"

Guo Chi immediately cheered: "Drunken Immortal Pavilion!"

They left the Sifang Pavilion's street and went straight to Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

Drunken Immortal Pavilion was one of the top restaurants in Yujing, most famous for its Drunken Immortal Wine, which was absolutely superb.

However, Drunken Immortal Wine was expensive. Ordinary people were satisfied just smelling the aroma, not hoping to drink it.

Even someone like Guo Chi, a Grandmaster guarding the Prince's mansion with a very high salary, had to consider carefully before drinking Drunken Immortal Wine.

The setting sun had already fallen, and the lanterns were just lit.

Drunken Immortal Pavilion was brightly lit even before it was completely dark.

Various noises, various sounds of silk and bamboo instruments, and several graceful and melodious songs, these sounds mixed together, ethereal as if coming from the clouds.

This was because the building was too tall and the architecture was peculiar, able to dissipate sound, weakening the noisy sounds and not making it feel chaotic.

Stepping into the building, one only felt lively, but not noisy.

Chu Zhiyuan directly ascended to the third floor, took an elegant room, and let Guo Chi, Gao Jiong, and Zou Fang all take their seats.

Soon, several jars of Drunken Immortal Wine were brought in. After opening the jars, the aroma of the wine filled the entire room. Without drinking, one was already tipsy, wonderful beyond words.

Chu Zhiyuan praised.

To brew wine so enticingly, it was truly the ultimate in skill, worthy of respect, and he was very impressed.

After a few cups of wine, the atmosphere became intense.

Guo Chi and the others gradually relaxed and no longer adhered to the usual rules.

They also became more talkative.

"Your Highness, why did you invite that old man to our mansion?" Guo Chi asked curiously: "One look and you can tell he's not a good person."

"Commander Guo," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "That one is a Great Grandmaster from Wentian Cliff."

"Then we shouldn't invite him into the Prince's mansion even more," Guo Chi said, puzzled.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "We need to find out the truth about Wentian Cliff. He's the only Wentian Cliff expert we can contact. By the way, remember to tell the guards in the mansion that once he comes, I must be notified immediately."

His super-sense could illuminate the Great Grandmaster, but he was immediately hallucinated by the Great Grandmaster's visualization diagram. However, as he stayed with Chu Qingfeng longer, he gradually found ways to cope.

Now he could initially overcome this sense of illusion and see some of the truth about the Great Grandmaster.

Mo Chunyu was an excellent research subject.

Some of the mysteries of Wentian Cliff could be unlocked through him.

"Yes, he will let Your Highness know as soon as he comes," Guo Chi agreed readily: "However, letting the Prince be with him is too scary."

"Don't worry, he wouldn't dare to harm Father," Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "Don't forget the Imperial Ancestor. No matter what, Father is also the Imperial Ancestor's son. The Great Grandmaster wouldn't dare to act recklessly."

If it were a demon like the Jade Cauldron Sect, they might be fearless and dare to kill Father, but reaching the Great Grandmaster realm, they would never dare to do so.

Great Grandmasters had long lifespans and wouldn't rashly risk their lives.

Killing the emperor's son and being beheaded by the Son of Heaven's Sword was something they wouldn't do, unless there was a deep blood feud.

A bright moon hung high in the center of the sky.

Chu Zhiyuan and his party left Drunken Immortal Pavilion. As soon as they stepped out of the restaurant, they, as Grandmasters, shook their bodies, and the Gang Qi dispelled the alcohol.

They immediately regained clarity.

As guards of the Prince's mansion, they only allowed themselves to be slightly drunk. Once they left Drunken Immortal Pavilion, they had to regain consciousness.

To fulfill their duty as guards.

The group walked on the bustling street, walking among the crowd.

Yujing was a city that never sleeps.

Since the arrival of the Great Zhen envoy, many martial arts experts had poured into Yujing's inner city.

These martial arts experts had considerable cultivation, and with considerable cultivation, they didn't have to worry about money. With plenty of money, they spent it lavishly.

Therefore, not only had the number of people in Yujing's inner city increased, but it had also become more prosperous.

Even in the middle of the night, the streets were crowded with traffic, even more lively than during the day.

Chu Zhiyuan turned a blind eye to this prosperity, absorbing the Flying Dragon Bone while thinking about Cheng Tianfeng's swordsmanship.

He felt like he had gained some insight, but was still a little short.

At the moment of Gang Qi collision, he could see the situation inside Cheng Tianfeng's body, and saw the route of his swordsmanship activation.

Through this exercise route, comparing it with the Heart Questioning Saber Art, he had a deeper understanding of the Heart Questioning Saber Art.

As he walked, Chu Zhiyuan realized that he had actually gone in a circle.

Zou Fang wouldn't say anything.

Guo Chi and the four others didn't spoil the fun either.

After a full meal, it was normal to walk around more and stretch your legs.

Chu Zhiyuan didn't know why he had gone in a circle, returning here, but he didn't immediately turn back. He simply went with the flow and continued forward.

His super-sense enveloped the True Unity Sect's altar, especially under Bai Jingmang's small courtyard.

He suddenly raised an eyebrow.

The extremely deep secret room under Bai Jingmang's small courtyard had new traces. The mechanism had been triggered, destroying the mural and the Jade Splendor Nine Chapters Record.

Chu Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel regret.

The mud outside the mural of the Jade Splendor Nine Chapters Record hadn't been removed.

Obviously, this mural hadn't been discovered. Only the secret room was discovered, and someone rashly tried to enter but triggered the mechanism, destroying the mural.

If he hadn't seen it and practiced it, the Jade Splendor Nine Chapters Record would probably be completely lost, extinct in the world.

It was truly a pity that such a miraculous art was lost.

As seen by his super-sense, the disciples of the True Unity Sect didn't practice this art. Obviously, the founding ancestor didn't intend to pass it down.

But he regretted its extinction, so he made it into a mural and left it here.

But he sealed the mural.

Through this secret room, the True Unity Sect's founding ancestor's complexity and entanglement with the Jade Splendor Nine Chapters Record were vaguely visible, and the complexity and entanglement with the Moon Invitation Palace were also vaguely visible.

Who discovered this secret room?

The entrance to the secret room had been sealed for a long time. It was impossible to be discovered.

It was almost impossible to break in unintentionally, and they couldn't break in. They should have obtained the map left by the True Unity Sect's founding ancestor.

But they obtained the map and triggered the mechanism.

Very strange.

There was a pool of purplish-brown bloodstains on the ground. The intruder was seriously injured, indicating that their martial arts weren't that strong.

At least not reaching Grandmaster.

He suddenly had a thought: Could the person be a disciple of the Moon Invitation Palace?

This thought was immediately rejected by him.

The disciples of the Moon Invitation Palace didn't step into Yujing City. This seemed to be an agreement between the Moon Invitation Palace and the emperor. As proud as the Moon Invitation Palace was, they shouldn't violate the agreement.

Then who was it?

He walked forward, finally stopping outside a mansion three streets away.

The blood droplets disappeared here, finally stopping the bleeding, losing their tracks, but it couldn't escape the observation of his super-sense.

This person had entered the mansion.

His super-sense also saw that in this empty mansion, there was a young man lying on the couch in one of the rooms, already unconscious.
