Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 910 - 906: Curved Blade

The surrounding Venerables listened to Hu Yuni’s backstory, solemnly nodding their heads in acknowledgment.

This time, fortune was both lucky and unlucky.

The luck was in obtaining the Ice Jade, seeing the reality of the Demon Realm.

Witnessing the vastness of the world, realizing the Demon Realm is indeed not suitable for humans, as their cultivation is weakened there.

As one wanes, the other waxes, up and down, the power reverses, leading only to defeat and not to victory.

The bad luck was encountering the genius Hu Yuni of Star-picking Cliff, nearly losing their lives.

They all witnessed Hu Yuni’s speed and formidable cultivation.

Those strongmen who were difficult to deal with were as fragile as paper before Hu Yuni and Chu Zhiyuan’s external palm force, easily crushed.

If not for the Prince Consort’s protection, they would have almost certainly died under Hu Yuni’s palm.

Escaping with their lives, having survived a great disaster, was also a stroke of good luck.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "So, it’s someone with quite a background."

Zhuang Juyue sighed, "It’s our good fortune that the Prince Consort could withstand her, but the Prince Consort must also be careful."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Will she come after us?"

"A favored one like her absolutely cannot tolerate losing," said Zhuang Juyue. "If she doesn’t regain face, she’ll be unable to eat or sleep well, she must remove this thorn!"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "If she truly dares to come, then the roles will reverse, and she’ll be seeking her own death."

Zhuang Juyue said, "If she were afraid of that, she wouldn’t have her current cultivation and reputation."

"Alright, then I’ll be waiting for her," Chu Zhiyuan said.

Zhuang Juyue saw that he took it to heart and said no more, clasped her hands in farewell, and left.

The other Venerables also solemnly clasped their hands and took their leave one by one.

This time, it was equivalent to owing Chu Zhiyuan a life-saving grace.

As Venerables, they must find a way to repay it.

After everyone had left, Fu Zheng excitedly said, "Your Highness, what other marvels does this Ice Jade have?"

She took out the piece of Ice Jade and held it in her palm.

In a blink, her palm was covered in a layer of white frost, and her jade-like hand trembled slightly.

Unable to hold on, she quickly placed it on the small stone table in the pavilion.

The stone table was immediately covered with a layer of white frost.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Indeed, it’s Ice Jade."

This Ice Jade is more domineering than Cold Jade, and its power surpasses Cold Jade by a margin.

Fu Zheng curiously asked, "Your Highness, what other marvels does this Ice Jade have? Besides clearing the heart and calming the mind, what else can it do?"

"It can be forged into a weapon," Chu Zhiyuan said. "The effect is excellent."

"Forged into a Treasure Sword?" Fu Zheng looked at the piece of Ice Jade, shaking her head, "It’s hard, yes, but how can it be forged into a sword being so short?"

"A Flying Knife," Chu Zhiyuan said.

Fu Zheng suddenly understood and laughed, "A jade knife? That’s interesting, but it’s not easy to forge it into a Flying Knife, it’s too hard."

While speaking, she drew her sword from its sheath, channeled her True Yuan, and the sword tip emitted a foot-long Sword Aura, slicing across the Ice Jade.

"Ding..."

In a clear, resonant sound, the Treasure Sword bounced off, and the Ice Jade didn’t even have a mark left on it.

"Ding ding ding ding..."

Fu Zheng couldn’t believe it, continuously waving her sword, the Sword Aura growing stronger. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Yet the Ice Jade still bore no marks, not even a white scar.

The Treasure Sword with Sword Aura seemed as though it hadn’t struck the Ice Jade at all.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile.

This is the Ice Jade, a specialty of the Demon Realm, truly remarkable, with a hardness rarely seen in the world.

Suddenly, a dark shovel without a handle appeared in his hand.

This was the shovel he casually took when leaving, used to dig up Ice Jade.

The shovel appeared dark without any sheen, not seeming precious at all, but without these shovels, it would be almost impossible to damage the Ice Jade.

"Your Highness is wise!" Fu Zheng immediately exclaimed with joy.

She took the shovel, carefully examining it, then looked up at Chu Zhiyuan, "Can this shovel be forged into a Treasure Sword, Your Highness?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "It’s harder than Ice Jade by threefold, impossible to forge into a weapon."

"Then how can it take the form of a shovel?" Fu Zheng asked, "If it can become a shovel, it naturally can become a Treasure Sword."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "You might as well give it a try."

Through Super Sensing Illumination, he examined the internal structure of the Ice Jade and the shovel, knowing their respective incredible hardness, rarely seen in the world.

By high temperature and force alone, they cannot be altered.

"Then I’ll give it a try," Fu Zheng said.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, "Take it."

Fu Zheng said, "Your Highness, shall I truly take it away?"

Chu Zhiyuan took out another black shovel from his sleeve, smiling, "Feel free to take it."

"Hehe, did you take all those shovels?"

"Indeed."

"As expected of Your Highness!"

Fu Zheng beamed with delight.

——

A bright moon hung high in the sky.

Its clear radiance scattered all around.

Chu Zhiyuan bathed in the moonlight, looking up at the Sky Dragon in the void.

He felt the advancement of the Heavenly Dragon Introduction.

The Demon Crystals of those Demon Clan experts greatly benefited his body, advancing the progress of the Heavenly Dragon Introduction.

As the Heavenly Dragon Introduction advanced, his own strength and speed also grew slightly stronger.

Although just a little, in battles between experts, sometimes that little bit determines victory or defeat.

He pondered on how to deal with Hu Yuni.

He had already gathered intelligence on Star-picking Cliff through the Phoenix Villa, from the Eldest Prince Li Cunren.

In this aspect, Qianji Tower couldn’t help much; their foundation was too lacking.

And Li Cunren’s information sources were half from the imperial palace’s secret archives and the other half from Fengtian Palace.

Chu Zhiyuan had come to know that the techniques of Star-picking Cliff are mysterious, reportedly using the Power of Stars to refine the body.

The so-called Star-Picking is drawing the Power of Stars, pulling the stars from the sky to transform into one’s origin power.

He marveled, no wonder Hu Yuni’s body was strong, and her speed was like lightning, it was due to the Power of Stars.

This is a path focusing on Body Refinement, similar to his Heavenly Dragon Introduction.

The peculiarity between her brows should also be due to the Power of Stars?

He shook his head repeatedly.

Originally, he thought the cultivation of the Demon Clan was based on instinct, borrowing the power of the Demon Abyss.

Unexpectedly, Star-picking Cliff doesn’t use the power of the Demon Abyss but uses the Power of Stars.

This indeed is interesting.

If Star-picking Cliff is like this, the other Eight Sects also seem to be using the Power of Heaven and Earth instead of the Demon Abyss’s power.

Then why did Hu Yuni say that entering the Demon Abyss for ten years would accomplish the Great Heavenly Demon?

According to what Hu Yuni said, the cultivation of Star-picking Cliff should be related to the Demon Abyss.

And isn’t just borrowing the Power of Stars?

Thinking of this, he moved his palms, a black dot appeared, and then it transformed into a Light Gate.

He stepped into the Light Gate.

The next moment, he appeared on top of an icy peak in the Demon Realm.

In the void, a red shadow flashed.

He pushed forward with his right palm, colliding with a white jade-like hand in the void.

"Bang!"

The red shadow flickered, and Hu Yuni appeared ten feet away, smiling at him.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled slightly, "I thought you went to the Outer Realm Battlefield."

"I knew you would come back," Hu Yuni said with a charming smile, radiantly beautiful.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Didn’t bring your fellow sect members to help?"

"I alone am enough!" Hu Yuni snorted, "This time, you can’t escape."

As she spoke, her palm slowly lit up, and a curved blade gradually appeared.

The handle of the curved blade was forged from silver, the blade gleamed like the crescent moon in the sky.

The bright moon and the curved blade mirrored each other, as if they were reflections.

Chu Zhiyuan immediately felt his hair stand on end, sensing danger, wanting nothing more than to turn and flee.

He stared intently at the curved blade, whispering, "A fine blade, what blade is this?"

Hu Yuni laughed lightly, "Bright Moon Saber, you can’t block this blade."

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "A Spiritual Treasure?"

"Though not a Spiritual Treasure, it’s almost as good," Hu Yuni replied, "If you have anything to say, say it quickly, later you won’t have the chance to say anything."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "Your blade isn’t fast enough."

"Then let me send you on your way!"

Hu Yuni’s Bright Moon Saber in hand gleamed suddenly, disappearing the next moment from her palm.

Chu Zhiyuan vanished from where he stood, reappearing twenty feet away, then vanished again, and appeared ten feet away, and then vanished once more.

Each time he reappeared, he found the Bright Moon Saber always in front of him, about to strike him, incredibly fast.
