Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 395 - 392: Searching for the Knife

```html

Only when the Bright Moon Saber kills a person does its spirituality grow, killing demon beasts does not have this effect.

This implies that the Glazed Blade Scripture encourages killing, as killing can enhance the Bright Moon Saber.

The Glazed Glass Blade and the Glazed Body, the blade and the body, originally interact and share the same aura.

The enhancement of the Bright Moon Saber also strengthens the owner, who is one with the blade.

Such enhancement is comprehensive; it is similar to the martial arts heart methods of the Swallowing Heaven Sect and the Yuding Sect.

The Yuding Sect and the Swallowing Heaven Sect consume blood essence to strengthen themselves and increase their cultivation.

However, what the Bright Moon Saber devours is not blood essence, but something unique to humans. free𝑤ebnovel.com

The Bright Moon Saber devours this to strengthen itself, while also feeding back to one’s Glazed Body.

It seems like walking the Evil Path.

However, he has now thought it through.

He kills those who deserve to be killed, not just to enhance himself.

The reason the Evil Sect is called evil, and the reason evil people are called evil, is because they kill recklessly to enhance themselves.

That is the essence of the Evil Sect.

And it is not due to cultivation techniques.

Nor is it related to the Outer Heaven Power.

If someone receives the Outer Heaven Power yet is not influenced by it, and does not change their character, nor kills to enhance cultivation.

Then it is not the Evil Path.

He sighed in relief, slowly showing a smile, thinking, this feels right.

After giving himself a perfect explanation, he felt at ease.

He then pondered on, what is the part of humans that is different from demon beasts?

Is it the soul?

Or something else?

These demon beasts have already attained human intelligence, do they possess souls?

Unfortunately, Super Sense right now cannot Insight into the brain, cannot see the spiritual level.

So he has to explore slowly by himself.

Xiao Ruoling watched him stare blankly at the Bright Moon Saber and did not disturb him. She floated over to pick up the demon crystal from the Flying Leopard’s corpse.

It was a fist-sized piece of yellow crystal.

Chu Zhiyuan looked over and smiled.

The demon crystal is also extremely useful for the Glazed Glass Blade.

The difference between the demon crystal and killing is that the benefits of killing, for the Glazed Glass Blade or said, the Bright Moon Saber, are concentrated on spirituality, significantly enhancing spiritual effects.

Whereas the demon crystal is more comprehensive, after being absorbed by the Glazed Glass Blade, it not only strengthens blood qi but also strengthens the spirit, though the effect is not as significant as killing.

Yet compared to killing, he still feels that the demon crystal is a bit more stable.

"Let’s go, keep moving forward."

Chu Zhiyuan regained motivation to explore the Secret Land.

The two continued forward.

The scenery in front kept changing.

He marveled at the unpredictability of the Secret Land.

The further they went, the more unfamiliar it became, and an hour later, everything before them was already completely unfamiliar, yet the same road, the views on both sides were entirely different.

——

Seeing the two stepping out from the edge of the cliff, Yun Qiuhua, sitting cross-legged on a mat, smiled and said, "How was the harvest?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head in disappointment.

Xiao Ruoling said, "This time it was the entrance we had seen before."

Yun Qiuhua said, "It can’t be a new entrance every time, there aren’t that many... By the way, just now the Palace Master came over, and after asking, the Palace Master mentioned an ancient sect called the Two Forms Guiyuan Sect."

"Two Forms Guiyuan Sect?" Chu Zhiyuan frowned and said, "The Great Guiyuan Step and the Small Guiyuan Step..."

This was from an ancient fragment he had taken from the Tongtian Pavilion, a suitable entry method for Chu Yi’s cultivation.

Yun Qiuhua said, "It may originate from the Two Forms Guiyuan Sect, or it may be using the name."

"What is this sect like?"

"Similar to the Heavenly Hidden Sect, little known to the world, refining heart within the mortal world, unnoticed by people."

"Are there no deeds?"

"...No," Yun Qiuhua shook her head, "The Palace Master said this sect is destined to decline, just like other ancient sects, they decline due to too high qualifications requirements, combined with changes in the world, the broken legacy is inevitable."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded and smiled, "Then let it be, thank you Elder."

"Just don’t mind that I mentioned it to the Palace Master," Yun Qiuhua said with a playful smile.

I speak without hiding anything in front of the Palace Master, never deceiving.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I didn’t intend to hide it from the Palace Master at first, but others..."

"Don’t worry, I won’t speak of it," Yun Qiuhua said.

...

In the following three days, Chu Zhiyuan stayed in a small yard at the Guest Peak of Yao Yue Palace.

Xiao Ruoling came over every half day, with sweet whispers and tender affection.

Three days later, Chu Zhiyuan had to leave Yao Yue Palace because the Martial Arts Hall still needed him to go there.

He used these three days to readjust his cultivation heart technique, cultivation schedule, and sequence.

With matters at the Martial Arts Hall, he could no longer indulge in staying outside for ten days or half a month as before.

This left him quite helpless.

Originally, he wanted to stay in the Secret Land for a month and see what substance in the Secret Land would drive people mad.

If that substance was expelled, could he then stay in the Secret Land for cultivation, and break through to Great Grandmaster?

But he wasn’t in a rush for this matter, because Super Sense still couldn’t Insight into the brain.

Breaking through to Great Grandmaster, Super Sense should be able to Insight into the brain then.

So it’s not urgent, he can wait until after breaking through to the Great Grandmaster to discuss.

He left Yao Yue Palace with a tinge of melancholy, and returned to Yujing City, just as the Phoenix Camp also finally made it back.

He paid a visit to the Phoenix Camp, observed the people, reprimanding them, instructing them not to get cocky.

Not to be swayed by the praises within Yujing City, and forget who they are.

This great victory was just coincidental, a mere happenstance rather than their true strength.

If really lost in the illusion of power and neglecting hard practice, what awaited them was expulsion from the Phoenix Camp.

Entering Phoenix Camp doesn’t mean they are Phoenix Camp for life from the day one enters.

After inspiring them, he returned to Martial Arts Hall.

Among the ten in the Martial Arts Hall, four of them had stepped into the realm of Grandmaster in these three days.

The adjusted cultivation effects were immediate, greatly boosting the morale of the other six people.

After the four saw him, they were to leave the Martial Arts Hall, and four new people would replace them.

Chu Zhiyuan delegated these trivial matters to Gao Lingfeng, letting him handle the replacements.

He devoted himself to cultivation.

He was determined to achieve Perfection in the Spirit Transformation Realm in a short time and to try the Concealing God Realm.

The Spirit Transformation Realm was far more challenging than he had imagined; his Sword Intent grew stronger, yet not reaching Perfection.

Another three days later.

The long saber with a silver sheath could now be fully unsheathed, its Sword Intent completely unleashed.

Yet he could already withstand it.

He could clearly sense his own Sword Intent strengthening, but could not feel that sense of completion.

This silver-sheathed long saber could no longer provide him aid.

The Sword Intent of the broken blade too was the same, unable to further assist him in enhancing his Sword Intent.

For the moment, he reached a bottleneck in his cultivation of the Glazed Blade Scripture, unable to progress further.

——

"Ancient weaponry?" Chu Qingyan pondered, "You’ve taken an interest in collecting swords and blades?"

"Uncle Nine," Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Actually, I want to experience the essence qi and spirit contained within the blades, the Sword Intent or Saber Intent."

By clearly stating his specific needs, he could better find what he was looking for.

In front of this Great Sect’s Chu Qingyan, Chu Zhiyuan felt quite at ease, no need to conceal.

This was his test.

To see if his status had changed from before, if he was no longer bound by achievements, whether he could openly ask the Emperor for these treasures.

"The Saber Intent or Sword Intent in these ancient weapons is hard to preserve."

"Corroded by time?"

"More or less," Chu Qingyan nodded, "No matter how strong the Saber Intent or Sword Intent, they can’t withstand the ravages of time. For tens of thousands of years, not just the Saber Intent and Sword Intent, even the weapons themselves have decayed."

"None remain?" Chu Zhiyuan looked disappointed.

Chu Qingyan thought for a moment, "There might be one saber, I’ll go check in the Forbidden Palace Secret Vault."
