Imperial Cultivation

There’s nothing in the abyss, yet the feeling it gives him is quite off.

It’s because of those four statues.

The eight gazes of the statues have been fixated on him, only separated by the Divine Essence.

If not for the Divine Essence, those eight gazes would fall directly on him.

And statues have appeared near the abyss before, so he feels there’s a subtle connection.

If he can avoid it, he should.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and said, "Pour out the water in this basin, just give me an empty one."

"Yes." Zhou Qingyu asked no further.

Shen Hanyue couldn’t help but ask, "Princely Heir, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Ruoling was also very curious.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Just trying to see if I can break Song Wantao’s Blinding Technique."

"How to break it?" Shen Hanyue said, "Using water?"

Xiao Ruoling said softly, "Another secret technique?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Shen Hanyue’s eyes lit up, "What secret technique?"

"It’s a kind of Pupil Skill." Chu Zhiyuan said no more, and reached into the empty wooden basin.

His palms pressed into the basin, and soon, water gushed out into it.

In the blink of an eye, more than half the basin was filled with crystal-clear sweet water.

It even emitted a chilling cold air.

"Princely Heir," Shen Hanyue asked curiously, "Where is this water from? Is it different from ours?"

She was not surprised by the water coming from Chu Zhiyuan’s hands, knowing he had the power of the Sleeve Universe.

She was curious about where the water was from.

How was it different from the previous water, why replace that water with this.

It does seem different, clearer and colder, even with a special, deep mountain forest-like aura.

Xiao Ruoling said, "Do you need to use this water for the display?"

Chu Zhiyuan smirked, "You’ve hit the nail on the head, my lady."

Xiao Ruoling chuckled lightly, giving him a sideways glance, feeling his words were like indulging a child.

But she couldn’t help smiling.

"Of course, senior sister is the smartest," Shen Hanyue laughed, "Does this water have any mystery?"

"Hmm, some mystery indeed, but what exactly is mysterious hasn’t been figured out." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "So many unknowns in this world."

"What can escape your scrutiny in this world, Princely Heir?" Shen Hanyue laughed, "Sooner or later, you’ll figure it out, Princely Heir."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and shook his head, "I’m not that powerful, couldn’t unravel the mystery of this water."

Even with the Super Sensing Illumination, examining the water inside and out, still couldn’t see the mystery.

If he could understand the mysteries within, maybe he’d instantly train the Divine Eye.

And wouldn’t need to rely on abyssal water.

"It’s just a matter of time." Shen Hanyue said, "What do you want to see, Princely Heir?"

Chu Zhiyuan pressed his palms into the water, merging Super Sense and Divine Essence into it.

Through the abyssal water, Super Sense and Divine Essence blended together, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Phoenix Feather Blade lightly floated out from his sleeve, appearing before him.

His eyes looked over, the breath condensed by Super Sense and Divine Essence infused into his eyes.

What he saw, the Phoenix Feather Blade was tainted with a layer of nearly invisible aura.

This aura drifted away from the Phoenix Feather Blade, wafting afar, eventually drifting towards Song Wantao.

From Song Wantao’s sleeve flew out a handkerchief.

The handkerchief was like a cluster of cotton, pure white and flawless, weightlessly light.

This aura drilled into the handkerchief, then the handkerchief left Song Wantao, flying afar, eventually into a Cave Mansion.

The owner of the Cave Mansion was a beautiful woman with snow-white hair.

The beautiful woman sat quietly inside the Cave Mansion, a man sitting before her.

Both sat unmoved, as if time had frozen.

Who knows how long had passed when they finally awakened, and gracefully left the cave.

But inside the cave, the handkerchief stayed, and years later, Song Wantao arrived at this cave to obtain the handkerchief.

suddenly, Chu Zhiyuan’s vision went dark, quickly retracting Divine Essence and Super Sense.

A stream of crisper water in his mind washed away the dizziness.

He soon regained his vision, slowly opened his eyes and exhaled.

Xiao Ruoling supported his arm, her exquisite face full of worry, "Husband, are you alright?"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and shook his head.

Zhou Qingyu stared at his eyes, "Master, look at your own eyes."

Chu Zhiyuan looked down at the water basin.

Abyssal water remained clear and bright, he saw his own eyes’ bloodshot threads through the water’s surface.

Couldn’t help but smile.

The consumption of the Divine Eye was extremely startling.

Since mastering the Heavenly Yuan Technique, he hadn’t been this fatigued, no wonder Xiao Ruoling was so worried.

Shen Hanyue said, "Princely Heir, is this the Miracle Technique? What is its use?"

Such a great price, the Miracle Technique’s power should indeed be strong.

As for Chu Zhiyuan’s safety, she wasn’t worried at all.

Knowing Chu Zhiyuan is a cautious person, no matter how good a Miracle Technique, if it endangers his life, he absolutely wouldn’t practice it.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Just saw Song Wantao, watched how she operates."

Shen Hanyue’s spirit suddenly perked up.

Xiao Ruoling lightly furrowed her brows, "Husband, don’t be in a hurry to act."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her.

Xiao Ruoling said, "Since she’s plotting against Li Huo Palace and us, then we can’t just stand by and do nothing."

Shen Hanyue quickly nodded, "What senior sister said is completely right, if Princely Heir handles everything, the senior sisters might not appreciate it and instead blame you."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I’m just worried that the senior sisters won’t be able to handle her."

He knew Xiao Ruoling’s concerns, not wanting him alone to face Song Wantao.

He wanted others to share the danger from Song Wantao, deal with it together.

But Song Wantao was extremely powerful, the disciples of Profound Yin Palace were no match.

Xiao Ruoling lightly shook her head, "Husband, you underestimate our Profound Yin Palace."

"Exactly, exactly." Shen Hanyue eagerly echoed, "We are Profound Yin Palace after all!"

Xiao Ruoling said softly, "Song Wantao is Spirit Venerable, of course, there are palace ancestors to deal with her."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Will Master Lu gather Spirit Venerables back?"

Xiao Ruoling said, "What you see now isn’t enough to move the Palace Master? It shouldn’t be hard, husband."

Chu Zhiyuan pondered and nodded slowly, "It’s about possible."

Xiao Ruoling’s spirit lifted, "Then quickly persuade the Palace Master to call the ancestors back."

Chu Zhiyuan thought for a bit, "Wait a few more days, I’ll gather more evidence."

His Divine Eye had not yet become strong enough.

Once it advances further to maintain longer illumination, observe more details, and find key evidence to convince Lu Qingfeng.

Apart from Lu Qingfeng, there was also Li Huo Palace.

If evidence is ample, Li Huo Palace should respond too.

If no one figures it out, fine, but now that this point has been revealed, and evidence found, Li Huo Palace couldn’t ignore it.

If things have reached this point, Li Huo Palace wouldn’t suspect someone of stirring trouble?

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Zhou Qingyu, then at Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue, "Looks like I need to stay here for a few days."

"That’s great news!" Shen Hanyue exclaimed excitedly.

Xiao Ruoling’s bright eyes flashed, gaze ablaze, she said quietly, "Are you really going to settle here?"

"I’m a bit uneasy." Chu Zhiyuan said, "Wouldn’t want her to worm her way in."

Saying so, he held Xiao Ruoling’s jade hand.

Xiao Ruoling flushed, gently struggled but failed to break free.

Shen Hanyue shook her head helplessly, here we go again!

She turned and walked away, coming to the flower beds with Zhou Qingyu, "Qingyu, worried about your family back?"

Zhou Qingyu nodded, "Master said he already sent someone over to guard."

"Then there’s nothing to worry about, you’re you, and your family is your family, she might have a feud with your master, but not so deeply with you." Shen Hanyue said, "After all, she’s Spirit Venerable."

Zhou Qingyu showed a worried look, "But she is after all of Forget Sorrow Valley."

The Evil Demons of Forget Sorrow Valley were devoid of humanity, capable of anything.

"True that..." Shen Hanyue nodded, "We must quickly get rid of her... rest assured, whatever you can think of, the Princely Heir certainly also has thought of, even what you can’t think of, he has. You’re unaware of how incredible your master is."

Zhou Qingyu forced a smile.
