Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 349 - 346 Netherworld God

"Congratulations, Senior Brother!" Meng Canglan exclaimed joyfully.

Xu Wannian laughed heartily.

The desolation and depression on his face vanished completely.

Once you step into the realm of a Grandmaster, it is like a Flood Dragon going out to sea, a Divine Dragon soaring to the heavens.

He is confident that he can cultivate to Grandmaster Perfection, and even catch a glimpse of the Great Grandmaster realm.

The previous desolation and depression transformed into vigor and grandeur.

He looked at Chu Zhiyuan, clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Thank you, Princely Heir."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Congratulations, regaining what you lost actually makes your foundation more solid, and your mental state refined, which is more conducive to entering the Great Grandmaster realm."

"Haha, then I will take your auspicious words!" Xu Wannian laughed, "Take advantage of not being old yet, and give it one last push!"

Meng Canglan said, "Princely Heir, does starting cultivation anew have such benefits?"

"Blessings and disasters are intertwined, Yin and Yang are in harmony," Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Starting anew is like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, those who can leap it will naturally transform into dragons."

Of course, wanting to leap over the Dragon Gate is extremely difficult, requiring both opportunity and talent.

Xu Wannian possesses exceptional talent, but has always lacked opportunity, struggling to take that critical step.

Encountering me now counts as great opportunity, hence the carp has transformed into a dragon, soaring in one go.

The future holds boundless possibilities, if there is no premature demise, he has more hope than others in reaching the Great Grandmaster realm.

But the achievements of the Great Grandmaster not only depend on talent, but also luck and opportunity.

He just has a higher probability than others, not necessarily guaranteed success.

Meng Canglan was lost in thought.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Miss Meng, are you thinking of using this as a shortcut? Better to give up on that thought early."

He saw through Meng Canglan’s thoughts at a glance.

This is not a shortcut, but a perilous winding path where one wrong step could lead to disaster.

Starting anew is too arduous, too painful, cultivation speed is greatly slowed, how many people can retrain to Innate Perfection?

Xu Wannian has top-notch talent and restarted cultivation before the age of sixty when he went astray, achieving Innate Perfection.

Too many people can’t reach that by sixty and have no hope of becoming a Grandmaster.

Meng Canglan said, "In fact, there are two others in the sect in similar situations as Senior Brother."

Xu Wannian said, "Those two have already been defeated, given up on cultivation, just muddling through life."

Meng Canglan looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "Can such individuals still become Grandmasters?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "After being defeated, their spirits declined, and they have no hope of reaching Grandmaster."

"Sigh..." Meng Canglan sighed with regret.

Xu Wannian said, "A year ago, they hadn’t yet given up."

"One step too late, it can only be said to be the misfortune of fate," Chu Zhiyuan said, "It can’t be forced." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

He had no sympathy for such people.

Those who strive unremittingly are the ones who heaven helps, if one gives up on oneself, one can only blame oneself.

"Sigh..." Meng Canglan felt immense regret.

Among them was her own friend, a friend who entered the Wuyou Sect with her to cultivate together.

——

A bright moon hung high.

In the center of the small courtyard, Chu Zhiyuan wielded the Bright Moon Saber, slowly waving it under the moonlight.

He carefully savored the wondrous feeling of being one with the Bright Moon Saber.

This indescribably harmonious feeling was precisely the method to nurture the spiritual nature of the Bright Moon Saber.

This state intoxicated him, giving him great enjoyment.

Cultivation became a form of enjoyment, which was truly rare.

When cultivation becomes an enjoyment, making one unable to extricate oneself, is there still fear of slow progress in cultivation?

The Glazed Blade Scripture continuously advanced, and the speed of progress was astonishing.

Currently in the Third Realm, he vaguely felt he was about to achieve Perfection.

Yunling was understandable, but what Spirit Transformation truly looked like, he still did not know, having not practiced it personally.

He practiced the Bright Moon Saber for a while and reluctantly switched to the Flying Knife.

Two Heart Inquiry Blades, five Evil-breaking Divine Blades, and several Breaking Gang Flying Blades.

More than ten flying knives hovered in the air, trembling gently with his breathing.

As if ready to shoot out at any moment.

He had countless thoughts, each controlling a flying knife, practicing the Third Realm.

Only practicing the Bright Moon Saber didn’t feel like much, but practicing more than ten flying knives simultaneously drastically depleted his spiritual power.

The Heavenly Yuan Technique continued to operate, promptly supplementing the depletion of spiritual power.

Without the Heavenly Yuan Technique, he felt the progress in the cultivation of the Glazed Blade Scripture would not be a tenth of what it was now.

Chu Zhiyuan thought, this is opportunity.

When the chance comes, being able to seize it is the real opportunity.

This requires enough luck.

A knocking sound was heard.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Ruoling, come in."

Xiao Ruoling pushed open the courtyard door, stepped lightly in, smiling brightly at him.

Her white garment was like snow, resembling a fairy under the moon.

Mysterious and serene, holy and distant.

Chu Zhiyuan stepped forward to embrace her, the warmth and softness entering his arms, half embracing half holding her to the pavilion.

Xiao Ruoling let him embrace her, leaning in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat.

After a long while, she asked about the situation since they last met.

She worried about Da Lie Dynasty’s retaliation, convinced they would retaliate.

Although they wouldn’t dare kill him, they wouldn’t meekly suffer such a loss without action, risking the dissatisfaction of Da Lie’s people.

Chu Zhiyuan explained the matter of the Netherworld Secret Guard, to avoid her being unaware of its severity, left unprepared.

"The Netherworld Secret Guard practices Divine Cultivation? Then there’s no need to fear."

"Doesn’t your Taiyin Great Refining Form guard against it?"

"Yes, the Taiyin Great Refining Form restrains this power, but unfortunately, you can’t practice it."

"No problem," Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "If they come again, Evil-breaking Divine Blade will be at the ready, this time I encountered a strange fellow."

He recounted the peculiar person he encountered.

Xiao Ruoling lightly furrowed her brows, "It’s a Divine Envoy."

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "You know this?"

"Yao Yue Palace has interacted with them, and there are many records of battles, the one you encountered should be Impermanence, Black Impermanence, and White Impermanence, envoys of the Netherworld God."

"Netherworld God..." Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded, having already guessed, and smiled, "What was the outcome of battles with the Divine Envoys?"

"The Taiyin Great Refining Form can restrain them, but those who haven’t practiced it will suffer losses," Xiao Ruoling lightly furrowed her brows, "A few disciples have died at their hands."

"No retaliation?" Chu Zhiyuan found this uncharacteristic of Yao Yue Palace.

"Several previous generations of Holy Daughters have been pursuing them, and have slain a few Divine Envoys."

"Impressive." Chu Zhiyuan praised.

Yao Yue Palace had been relentlessly pursuing Divine Envoys, underscoring its power and dominance.

"For nearly a hundred years now, no Divine Envoys have dared provoke disciples of Yao Yue Palace," Xiao Ruoling said.

"No wonder they don’t dare come to Yao Yue Palace’s territory."

Xiao Ruoling said, "If they dare come to Yao Yue Palace, they won’t return."

Chu Zhiyuan was filled with respect: "Admirable."

Xiao Ruoling smiled, "That’s also the prestige built by generations of Holy Daughters. I have an Evil Exorcism Pearl in the palace, I’ll get one for you."

"No need." Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "I have the Evil-breaking Divine Blade, once any evil force comes near, it will sense it."

"Evil-breaking Divine Blade..." Xiao Ruoling was curious.

Chu Zhiyuan then explained what Xu Yingying had given him.

This drew a teasing, laughing look from Xiao Ruoling, "Sister Xu is really responsive to all your requests."

"No choice, she needs something from me." Chu Zhiyuan laughed.

Xiao Ruoling teased further, causing Chu Zhiyuan to laugh heartily, "She still has a child’s nature, without distinction of gender, don’t overthink it."

Xiao Ruoling pursed her lips and smiled, "If Sister Xu became a concubine, it would be quite nice."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a wry smile.

No matter how smart and gentle, they still get jealous.

He changed the subject, talking about his plan to stay in the Secret Land for a long time, aiming to stay for a month to figure out why the Secret Land makes people go mad.

Xiao Ruoling decided to go in with him.

"You’re quite busy now, can you spare so much time?"

"With Junior Sister Shen, Elders, and the Palace Master there, it’s no problem."

"Alright."

Xiao Ruoling thought for a moment, then took out a Jade Pendant from her sleeve and handed it to him, "This is the Yao Yue Palace identity Jade Token, with it, those Divine Envoys won’t dare get close."

"Will it really scare them off?"

"It’s worth a try."

"Then let’s try it." Chu Zhiyuan accepted it.
