Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 924 - 920: Breaking Through
Three days later, Chu Zhiyuan returned to Phoenix Imperial City.
This time, he entered the city through the gates with great fanfare, returning to the Thirteenth Prince Consort Mansion.
Hardly had he arrived when Li Cunren immediately followed suit with a visit.
The two were drinking and chatting leisurely in his small courtyard.
Li Cunren put down his wine cup and said with a smile, "Cheng Yunzheng got possessed again. Brother-in-law, was it your doing?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head, "I didn’t do it myself."
"Really not you?"
"Really not me." Chu Zhiyuan nodded with certainty.
To align with the essence of the Infinite Brightness Scripture, one must not lie or deceive, instead maintaining honesty and integrity.
Chu Zhiyuan naturally wouldn’t lie.
Also, the words weren’t wrong; he didn’t do it personally but sent someone to do it.
"Haha, it’s really satisfying." Li Cunren clapped his hands and laughed, "That guy is truly annoying! And insists on staying here to be an eyesore!"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Big brother, who do you think did this?"
"Getting possessed, how can this be investigated?" Li Cunren snorted, "He can only blame himself, as for him saying someone plotted against him, it’s sheer nonsense!"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Will Fengtian Palace investigate?"
Li Cunren snorted, "Fengtian Palace is too busy, they don’t have the time for this!"
"What about the Third Princess Consort?" Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Will she demand an explanation?"
Li Cunren laughed, "Third sister-in-law is a sensible person and hasn’t added any complications."
Chu Zhiyuan frowned and pondered.
Cheng Ruoxi is evidently siding with Phoenix Imperial City.
It has to be said it’s quite wise.
Li Cunren said, "Even if you did it, it doesn’t matter, anyway we have the reason."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head, "Big brother, I’m planning to go to the Outer Realm Battlefield."
If it weren’t for the need to study the secrets of void dimensions, he wouldn’t be in a hurry to go to the Outer Realm Battlefield.
After all, going there is to kill demons; it would be easier to go directly to the Demon Realm.
"Really going?" Li Cunren said, "Once you go, you’ll definitely be hunted, just like what happened to our little sister back then."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "That’s fine, it saves the trouble of finding them one by one."
Li Cunren chuckled, "True, you’re much stronger than little sister, might not fear them."
Recalling Chu Zhiyuan’s achievements, his amazing movement techniques, and his spiritual treasure protection,
the Outer Realm Battlefield doesn’t seem that dangerous.
Chu Zhiyuan took out a brown round bead from his sleeve, the Heart Communication Pearl, and said solemnly, "I will try my best to search for your book boy."
"Alas..." Li Cunren sighed, "Actually, I’ve lost hope."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Maybe I can find him."
"Then let’s see his fortune." Li Cunren said, "Just do your best, no need to force it."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded solemnly.
——
Chu Zhiyuan stood on the peak of a mountain, watching the vast mountain range opposite.
The peaks stood tall.
Like giant dragons sprawling between heaven and earth, each dragon seemed capable of covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
Standing on this peak, watching the range across, one would inexplicably feel timid and shrink back, not daring to go further.
Mist faintly shrouded the three peaks, making them appear like a fairyland.
Chu Zhiyuan sighed, finally here.
This is the renowned Outer Realm Battlefield.
The so-called outer realm, is the junction of the Three Realms, where time and space are abnormal.
Super Sensing Illumination didn’t reveal anything unusual, blending seamlessly with other places, without a sense of disconnection.
He stood on the peak, gazing at the distant Outer Realm Battlefield, staring at the void.
Compared with the White Cloud Map, he found this place indeed very peculiar.
After comparing with the White Cloud Map, the void he saw looked different from normal void.
Various gaps wandered and changed, some connected to each other, some disconnected.
At first glance, these gaps seemed chaotic; with insufficient spiritual power, even if one saw them, they wouldn’t be clear.
His spiritual power was strong, his understanding astounding, easily finding the patterns in the chaotic gaps and the mystery within.
He tried manipulating the void, and soon a small black dot formed, then turned into a light gate.
He immediately dispersed the light gate, nodding satisfactorily.
This light gate leads to Great Bright Peak.
He then shaped another small black dot, again forming a light gate.
After the light gate dispersed, his smile widened.
This leads to the Thirteenth Prince Consort Mansion’s backyard in Phoenix Imperial City.
Then he shaped a black dot, which turned into a light gate and then dispersed.
This leads to the Demon Realm.
These three light gates lead to different places, showing the interference from the Outer Realm Battlefield isn’t strong.
He had once had doubts; could a light gate open at the Outer Realm Battlefield?
Now it seems, it’s not a problem.
Then came the second question: could he directly reach the Demon World?
He closed his eyes, beginning to recall the layers of gaps within the void.
He searched within the extremely complex gaps for the Demon World’s gate.
If possible, finding the light gate to Little Outer Heaven would be best.
Time swiftly passed as he searched.
An hour later, he suddenly opened his eyes.
His hands moved again.
The void quickly produced a small black dot, which swiftly turned into a light gate.
Chu Zhiyuan stared directly at the light gate, concentrating on sensing its danger.
He stepped into the light gate.
His figure disappeared into the light gate.
The light gate shrank and collapsed into a small black dot, then the black dot vanished.
Chu Zhiyuan found himself in a dense forest.
Surrounding dense trees and tall woods, weeds overgrown, the sunlight fell on the treetops but not below.
Chu Zhiyuan looked around, not rushing to move.
Super Sense had already opened.
He dared not extend the range too broadly to avoid being spotted.
Super Sense only searches within a mile.
This is a mountain peak on the outskirts of a city, with a wide and smooth official road leading straight to a bustling city—Lu Yang City.
Within Lu Yang City, the crowd bustles.
Chu Zhiyuan could see, these were not humans, but the Demon Clan.
Their skin whiter, features deep, the men extraordinarily handsome, the women radiantly beautiful.
Almost none of them looked ugly.
Chu Zhiyuan frowned and touched his face, contemplating silently.
If he went out now, his identity would surely be exposed, facing endless hunts.
To enter Lu Yang City, he would need to alter his appearance.
But to truly change his appearance, could he fool the two Strange Beasts at the city gate?
These two dark Strange Beasts, lifelike, as if two fierce beasts were crouching there, exuding an aura of intimidation.
Chu Zhiyuan knew, just like the Evil Extinguishing Talisman outside Human Race cities, Lu Yang City had them too.
Phoenix Imperial City uses spirit talismans, gentle and discreet, while those outside Lu Yang City are quite fierce.
He could sense danger.
Since it’s so perilous, it’s unwise to personally take the risk, just use Super Sensing Illumination.
He illuminated for a quarter of an hour, his palms drawing arcs again, forming a small black dot, then turning into a light gate.
He stepped into the light gate, vanished from the Demon World, and the next moment appeared back on the original peak.
He smiled; indeed, the Outer Realm Battlefield was useful, his mastery of light gates improved significantly through its void dimensions.
Connecting to the Three Realms, the Grotto Heaven, next moment might even connect to Little Outer Heaven.
His thoughts flickered.
Within Prince Qing Mansion’s inner courtyard, Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes gleamed brightly, exhaled slowly, and started moving his palms.
On the peak of the Outer Realm Battlefield, a light gate suddenly opened.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
Indeed, he could perform it.
What he mastered, the main self also directly mastered.
This light gate is the passage between Little Outer Heaven and Outer Heaven, can return at any time, and go immediately.
His main self and clone simultaneously sensed its danger.
