Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 1190 - 1186: Suppressing Evil

He arrived at the Court’s Evil Extermination Department and went straight to Huang Zhengyang’s small courtyard.

Huang Zhengyang was holding a scroll, reading.

Chu Zhiyuan’s gaze was immediately drawn to this scroll.

The scroll was subtly yellowed, faintly gleaming, evidently extraordinary at first glance.

Seeing Chu Zhiyuan come in, Huang Zhengyang stood up to greet him and handed over the scroll: "Brother Chu, take a look at this."

Chu Zhiyuan took the scroll, surprisingly heavy as if made of gold.

Super Sense Insight revealed that the scroll’s material was not gold but a much heavier and sturdier structure, extremely hard to damage.

He flipped it to look at the cover, which had three ancient and crude characters that read "Divine Strange Chapter."

While flipping through the scroll, Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Brother Huang, this is...?"

Huang Zhengyang smiled and said, "Our Evil Extermination Department’s forbidden scroll, outsiders can’t see this."

Chu Zhiyuan replied, "Can I, as an outsider, see it too?"

"Brother Chu, you are no outsider now," Huang Zhengyang said. "If it weren’t for you, the Imperial City would already be infiltrated by demons."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "It was just a coincidence, didn’t expect such a strange object to conceal demonic aura."

"Disaster strikes again!" Huang Zhengyang solemnly said, "There’s big trouble!"

Chu Zhiyuan looked up at him.

Huang Zhengyang sighed: "What we encountered was the Undying Evil Venerable, ... looked at the records above, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan lowered his head to continue reading, not rushing to flip to the pages on the Undying Evil Venerable.

The records above detailed various demons and monsters from ancient times to the present, opening his eyes to ancient spiritual beasts and strange treasures.

He quickly skimmed through, then flipped to the page recording the Undying Evil Venerable.

It described the appearance of the Undying Evil Venerable, its prowess, the experts who participated in its suppression, and where it was suppressed.

Chu Zhiyuan exclaimed in surprise: "Is the Undying Evil Venerable suppressed?"

"I only just learned, there is the Evil Suppressing Abyss," Huang Zhengyang lamented, then frowned: "Strangely, this Evil Suppressing Abyss doesn’t belong to my Evil Extermination Department!"

Chu Zhiyuan also showed a puzzled expression: "Shouldn’t it belong to the Evil Extermination Department?"

Huang Zhengyang shook his head: "If it belonged to my Evil Extermination Department, I would have known, and things wouldn’t have turned out like this now!"

He looked annoyed, sighed, and said: "I’ve troubled you, Brother Chu!"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and waved his hand: "There’s no trouble at all."

Huang Zhengyang’s face turned serious, slowly saying: "The Undying Evil Venerable is bizarre, not something high cultivation can stop, we can’t stop it, and neither can you, Brother Chu."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "Brother Huang, don’t forget I have the Demon Suppressing Saber."

Huang Zhengyang shook his head: "That’s because you don’t know their power, ... to suppress it, you need the help of the Divine Artifact, but now..."

The Divine Artifact’s failure had led to chaos among the demons, even the Undying Evil Venerable resurfaced.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "Can’t the Evil Suppressing Abyss suppress the Undying Evil Venerable?"

"Also relying on the power of the Divine Artifact," Huang Zhengyang said solemnly, "Brother Chu, don’t underestimate them, you’ve already provoked at least three Undying Evil Venerables, their methods are strange and unpredictable, you’d better come with me to the Evil Suppressing Abyss."

Chu Zhiyuan curiously asked: "Not easy to visit, right?"

He didn’t need much thought to know it was a secret land, a forbidden area, not to be approached casually.

Just Huang Zhengyang might be able to visit, but adding himself wouldn’t work.

After all, he was a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, not a direct member of the Court, not among the most reliable ranks.

Huang Zhengyang gravely said: "I’ll find a way to get you there."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Brother Huang, no need for such trouble, I can handle it."

Huang Zhengyang shook his head vigorously: "This matter can’t afford any risk, their attack methods are bizarre, constantly attacking your spirit, one misstep and you fall into madness and die."

Through the records above, he understood the terrifying nature of the Undying Evil Venerables, not allowing any luck.

A trip to the Evil Suppressing Abyss, let the experts there observe and then determine if Chu Zhiyuan can withstand.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled: "It’s not that scary, didn’t we also destroy the statues of these Undying Evil Venerables?"

Huang Zhengyang hesitated.

The ancient scroll recorded that the statues of the Undying Evil Venerables were indestructible, only suppressible.

Before Chu Zhiyuan, not only were the statues of the Undying Evil Venerables indestructible, even the statues of ordinary Evil Venerables couldn’t be destroyed.

After Chu Zhiyuan arrived, the ordinary Evil Venerable statues could be destroyed, the Undying Evil Venerable statues could also be destroyed.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "I can destroy the statues of the Undying Evil Venerables, naturally I can handle their attacks, after all, without the statues, their power can’t fully manifest."

Huang Zhengyang hesitated even more.

Things that seemed impossible turned possible before Chu Zhiyuan.

Could it be these Undying Evil Venerables were powerless against Chu Zhiyuan?

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Besides, if they were truly so powerful, shouldn’t they have dealt with me already? But am I not perfectly fine now?"

Huang Zhengyang slowly nodded.

These Undying Evil Venerables were definitely not lenient, yet Chu Zhiyuan remained unscathed, not due to their leniency, but rather their inability against him.

At this thought, he smiled: "Can you really withstand them?"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "I haven’t been attacked by them yet."

"Very good!" Huang Zhengyang heaved a sigh of relief: "But don’t be careless..."

Just then, footsteps sounded outside, a young man said sternly at the door: "Director, more statues have appeared again!"

"Damn it!" Huang Zhengyang cursed angrily: "Endlessly annoying!"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "It’s the Undying Evil Venerable’s statue, then destroy it."

Huang Zhengyang sighed: "Just afraid we can’t destroy them all."

"Let’s see if they come down fast, or I destroy them fast," Chu Zhiyuan snorted.

His heart was eager to try.

The gold dust from the statues of the Undying Evil Venerables was an extremely precious item, capable of rapidly strengthening his Golden Sword.

With every statue more, his Golden Sword grew stronger.

...

A group of experts escorted the two of them to the foot of a mountain peak.

The mountaintop was again surrounded by a white curtain, seemingly hidden by clouds.

This peak was over a hundred miles from the Imperial City, with no pedestrians around.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at Huang Zhengyang: "Brother Huang, we two can go up alone."

Huang Zhengyang solemnly nodded, gestured for the other experts not to follow.

Until the two reached the mountaintop, behind Chu Zhiyuan gradually appeared a transparent tree of light, emitting gentle white light. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The mountaintop was obscured by the white curtain, dozens of young men holding the curtain, facing away from the summit.

They looked wide-eyed at this giant tree, the tree was hug-thick, growing above Chu Zhiyuan’s head, straight upwards as if reaching the void above.

Its soft light spread across a ten-yard radius.

Anyone touched by the white light felt cool all over, like moonlight cascading down.

Huang Zhengyang said in amazement: "Brother Chu, this is..."

Chu Zhiyuan replied: "My newly mastered Secret Technique, testing if it can counter the Undying Evil Venerables."

Huang Zhengyang looked up at the transparent tree of light, sighed: "It’s truly impressive!"

He could feel the light containing a strange power, calming the mind.

The original anxiety vanished in an instant.

The original worry about endless Undying Evil Venerable statues was gone.

Now suddenly felt it was no big deal, as many statues as there were, would be destroyed.

The inner worry and pessimism were quickly faded by the illumination.

Chu Zhiyuan entered the white curtain, raised his head looking at the golden statues, still seeing the same three faces.

He took a breath of relief, it was the first Undying Evil Venerable, not a new one.

This meant the number of Undying Evil Venerables didn’t increase, only the statues did.

Huang Zhengyang tried to look at the statue, no longer seeing it as hazy due to the aura of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree, unaffected by the statues.

Without a word, Chu Zhiyuan drew his Golden Sword, flashed it several times.

Then the statue turned to dust, the powder forming a vortex in mid-air, stirred by the Golden Sword, rustling fell to the ground, mingling with the soil.

He felt the enhancement of the Golden Sword, joy in his heart.

His smile hadn’t faded, sensing an immense power descending straight from the void.
