Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 918 - 914: Space

Tongtian Pavilion

Chu Zhiyuan sat atop a mountain peak, watching the patches of white cloud in the sky, revealing a smile.

He thought of the expression on the faces of the two disciples of Fengtian Palace earlier when he wanted to enter Tongtian Pavilion.

He couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Both unwilling and helpless, with a touch of jealousy and a hint of pleading.

Their complex expressions were unparalleled, just thinking about it made him laugh.

He could understand their complex feelings but had no intention to accommodate them.

He entered Tongtian Pavilion not just for the Spiritual Treasure; the power of Tongtian Pavilion lies not only in these treasures but also in the celestial phenomena.

These phenomena are crucial for comprehending the heavens and the earth.

Sitting on the giant stone at the mountain peak, he looked up at the white clouds in the sky, inadvertently thinking of the Phoenix Sword Sect’s White Cloud Map.

The White Cloud Map contains a passage to the Demon Realm.

His thoughts soared, naturally considering whether there were passages to other places if there was one to the Demon Realm.

Does the White Cloud Map only contain the passage to the Demon Realm, or are there other passages?

Or could he locate a passage through this map himself?

Could it directly lead to Yujing or Yuanzhen?

Even, could it directly lead to Great Bright Peak?

His fundamental mental method is the Infinite Brightness Scripture; cultivating within Great Bright Peak is even more beneficial.

Before becoming a Venerable, cultivating within Great Bright Peak benefits from its Spiritual Energy.

After becoming a Venerable, cultivating within Great Bright Peak benefits from its Divine Charm.

To further accelerate his cultivation rate and advance his Realm, he still needs to enter Great Bright Peak.

How can he directly reach Great Bright Peak? Within this White Cloud Map, does it contain what he needs?

He slowly closed his eyes and visualized the White Cloud Map in his mind, entering a wondrous state.

In a trance, he seemed to transform into the heaven and earth, into the Void, with layers of Void resembling clouds.

Each layer of Void is different.

In Chu Zhiyuan’s mind, a concept suddenly emerged: dimension.

Multi-dimensional space, hyper-dimensional space.

This was a concept he encountered in his previous life, known only as a concept.

At this moment, it was verified and aligned with his vision, greatly enhancing his understanding of the heavens and space.

Furthermore, with the verification of the White Cloud Map, he saw the space of the Void.

His hands moved, forming a black dot, which in the next moment became a Light Gate.

Stepping into the Light Gate, another forest appeared before his eyes, situated atop a mountain peak.

He recognized this place, it was where he left the Demon Realm.

Ten miles north is Golden Flower City.

He shook his head, scanned the surroundings, then frowned.

Groups of demon masters were roaming around as if searching for something.

Among these demon masters were four Venerables.

He now knew that there were many demon masters, but not as many Venerables.

Those below Venerable made up the majority.

He was too lazy to pay attention, even if a group of demon masters was approaching from afar.

From their appearance, the difference between demon beings and humans wasn’t obvious, unlike the Demon Clan, which could be distinguished at a glance.

This group of demon masters consisted of nine people, with one Venerable being surrounded by eight demon masters.

The Venerable being surrounded was young and spirited.

His eyes were piercing as he suddenly focused on Chu Zhiyuan’s face, then shouted coldly, "Chu Liezhao!"

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and looked at him.

This young Venerable revealed an expression of ecstatic delight and said coldly, "He’s the one we’re looking for!"

"Is it him?"

"It’s really him, no mistake!"

"Haha, we’re lucky!"

"Surround him, kill him!"

"Be careful, he’s still quite formidable."

"We have Brother Wu, he’ll die no matter how strong!"

"Brother Wu!"

...

They shouted and charged, their eyes gleaming, as if they had seen a treasure.

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhiyuan understood their intentions, realizing they were seeking to surround and kill him.

Was it Hu Yuni who leaked his whereabouts?

However, Hu Yuni wasn’t the only one who knew his whereabouts.

After all, he wasn’t that low-key in Golden Flower City and had killed quite a few masters.

He let out a cold laugh.

The leak of his whereabouts did save trouble, with demon masters voluntarily coming to him.

His figure flickered, directly appearing behind the young Venerable, striking down with a palm.

The young Venerable remained alert but could not evade this palm, forced to take it head-on.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."

After over a dozen palms, the face of the Venerable surnamed Wu finally turned slightly pale.

The Heavenly Dragon Divine Palm’s palm force was pure and domineering, penetrating his demon essence defense, directly shaking his heart meridian.

The heart meridian of demons was not a vital point, but it did affect the flow of demon essence and demon blood, impacting strength.

Chu Zhiyuan’s palm force suddenly changed, and he struck a certain point on his back.

The very location of the Demon Crystal.

"Uh..."

The Demon Crystal location is the vital point of demon beings, akin to the critical point of a snake.

Chu Zhiyuan struck down with one palm, then quickly moved, killing the remaining eight instantly.

The eight demon masters let out angry roars, dying grudgingly in their roars.

Yet Chu Zhiyuan didn’t pay any mind to their Demon Crystals, only taking the one from the Venerable surnamed Wu.

Through his sharp perception, he discovered that Demon Crystals weren’t just roughly the same as previously thought; there were differences.

Only these differences were previously indistinguishable, but now clearly visible.

After demon masters reached the Venerable level, their Demon Crystals underwent a subtle transformation.

This transformation was very subtle, almost imperceptible, only discovered when absorbing.

Demon Crystals at the Venerable level are more pure, fewer impurities when integrating into the body, seamlessly whole.

This minor difference might seem insignificant now, but he knew it could be the foundation of faster refinement later on.

So he had become picky now, not easily absorbing Demon Crystals, only picking the Venerable level, ignoring others.

"Right here!"

"Huh, already finished?"

"Indeed, it’s Chu Liezhao!"

...

Chu Zhiyuan looked up to see another group of demon masters charging towards him, smiling.

This smile was seen by them, causing a furious blaze of anger, wishing they could strike him dead with a palm.

Ten zhang away, they started to punch collectively, fist shadows and palm shadows densely overlapping.

Chu Zhiyuan swiftly escaped the range of fist and palm shadows, appearing behind them.

This group of over a dozen had not a single Venerable, rendering them worthless in his eyes, swiftly killing them all without hesitation.

As this group fell to the ground, an atavistic phenomenon manifested, and another group rushed over from afar.

This time, still without a Venerable.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

There are few Venerable level masters among the demon beings, hard to come by, one must build a greater reputation.

He killed six groups of demon masters in one breath and floated thirty li away to another mountain peak, moved his hands to open another Light Gate.

He slipped into the Light Gate, and then appeared in Tongtian Pavilion.

Chu Zhiyuan sat on a giant stone mountain peak within Tongtian Pavilion, closing his eyes, carefully feeling and analyzing the sensation of opening the Light Gate and being within it earlier.

He felt he touched upon a subtle trick, gaining a deeper understanding of dimensional space.

His previous thoughts weren’t impossible.

If only there were another White Cloud Map...

He couldn’t help but think of the Demon Clan.

The Demon Clan has Demon Artifacts capable of breaking Grotto Heaven, not knowing where, wondering if there’s a chance to witness it.

He closed his eyes, his thoughts swirling, gradually entering a wondrous state again.

It was as if he became lines within the Void, tracing space paths.

Time passed in his enlightenment, oblivious to its speed, wholly immersed.

When he could instantly open a Light Gate and faintly felt he could touch the space pathway, he left Tongtian Pavilion.

It was already a month later.
