Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 1200 - 1196: Descent

Chu Yi poured out the Lifespan Extension Pill from the bottle and directly stuffed it into Li Suyue’s mouth.

Li Suyue opened her mouth, swallowed the Lifespan Extension Pill, and said, "How high has the Young Master’s cultivation reached?"

"Venerable Ninth Transitions," Chu Yi replied, "The cultivation limit of the Upper Realm is Venerable Ninth Transitions, and Big Brother is about to touch that limit."

Li Suyue sighed, "This speed of cultivation is truly astonishing."

Both she and Chu Yi’s progress in cultivation was already impressive, reaching Great Grandmaster at such a young age.

There are very few Great Grandmasters in the world, and their master had to train for many years to achieve it, yet they reached it effortlessly in their youth.

This shows that besides talent, opportunity is also needed on the path of cultivation.

When opportunity comes, progress is rapid, and a year can equal a lifetime of hard cultivation.

Chu Yi laughed, "And still, Big Brother feels it’s not fast enough."

Li Suyue chuckled, "The Young Master is quite greedy, isn’t he?"

"Who wouldn’t think so!" Chu Yi pouted with her red lips.

Li Suyue’s beautiful face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly said, "I’ll go change clothes."

With that, she left lightly, disappearing like a graceful bird flying in the room.

Chu Yi giggled softly.

...

Chu Zhiyuan appeared at the Heavenly Sword Branch and saw Gu Junqi pacing back and forth in the front courtyard.

The bright sunshine shone on him, cloaking him in a layer of golden light.

"Dean," Chu Zhiyuan approached and cupped his fists in greeting.

As soon as Gu Junqi saw him, he let out a long sigh of relief, "You’re finally back."

Chu Zhiyuan awkwardly said, "I hope the Dean will forgive me."

"Nothing went wrong, right?" Gu Junqi asked, "They didn’t make things difficult for you?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and smiled, "Inside were a few Court tributes, they didn’t make things difficult."

The matter of the Lifespan Extension Pill was top secret and couldn’t be divulged recklessly.

He would only speak to the Sect Leader about it.

"That’s good," Gu Junqi nodded in satisfaction, "You’ve done so much for the Evil Extermination Department, it wouldn’t be right to make things harder for you."

But there are many injustices in the world, and one cannot always expect fairness everywhere.

In front of the Evil Suppressing Abyss, even the Heavenly Sword Sect might not have enough momentum.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "How are the Elders and Senior Brothers doing over there?"

"They’re still on the way," Gu Junqi smiled, "Already killed hundreds of Evil Demons, the results this time are remarkable."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "That should be about enough, right?"

"Brother Zhou and the others said no rush," Gu Junqi said, "The opportunity is rare."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Gu Junqi asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"It would be best to return quickly," Chu Zhiyuan said, "If they continue, they’ll become targets for everyone, and those from the Evil Sect will go crazy."

"Isn’t that just right?" Gu Junqi said.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "Currently, they’re only fighting over treasures, not fighting desperately."

Based on the news from Zhu Lingyun, he knew several sects were preparing to join forces and strike the Four Great Sects experts hard.

This news couldn’t be shared, not even with the Evil Extermination Department.

The experts of the Evil Sect were going separately to compete for the treasures in Feixue Cave Mansion, using the Jade and Stone Burning method to severely injure the Four Great Sects’ experts.

This is a completely different goal, with naturally different destructive power.

Continuing like this would certainly lead to casualties.

Gu Junqi shook his head, "It’s useless for us to talk, we need to suggest it to the Sect Leader, and when he speaks, they’re on a killing spree."

Chu Zhiyuan solemnly nodded.

He would personally suggest to Lu Wanshan to urge them to rush to the Imperial City immediately.

Gu Junqi said, "You’ve been exhausted for the day, take a good rest."

Chu Zhiyuan cupped his fists again and turned back to his small courtyard.

He knew Gu Junqi was stifling his curiosity; how could he not be curious about the appearance of the Evil Suppressing Abyss.

But the existence of the Evil Suppressing Abyss was something very few knew about, and there must be a reason for this.

Before figuring out the Evil Suppressing Abyss, he didn’t want to speak recklessly.

Therefore, he needed to understand what exactly was being suppressed within the Evil Suppressing Abyss.

...

In the evening, Chu Zhiyuan walked leisurely to a tavern.

As soon as he sat at a table by the window on the third floor, Lu Xiaolu, dressed in white as snow, appeared.

The meeting was not by chance; they had sent messages beforehand to meet here.

As for why not at the Guanghan Palace Villa or Heavenly Sword Branch, it was for convenience.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned, looking at Lu Xiaolu, who wore a white veil hiding her face, "Senior Sister, did you forcefully practice that Secret Technique?"

A veil covered her beautiful face, yet he could see her exhaustion and weakness in one glance.

Her delicate eyebrows and eyes were clouded with fatigue, as if a breeze could blow her down.

Lu Xiaolu sighed, "I wanted to give it a try, but..."

She was unwilling to admit her aptitude was so poor when Chu Zhiyuan could master the Secret Technique so easily, yet she couldn’t master it no matter what.

Despite the aptitude gap between them, it shouldn’t be so vast.

With this thought, she kept trying it, not giving up.

The harder she practiced, the more painful it became, causing great suffering and leaving her utterly exhausted.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "This Secret Technique relies on luck, and if the luck isn’t there, forcing it will lead to a deviation."

"Hehe, I have a secret treasure with me, I won’t go into deviation," Lu Xiaolu laughed.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "Senior Sister should leave it aside for now."

It was precisely because she had this safeguard that she was so boldly practicing aggressively.

"Alright," Lu Xiaolu sighed, "I’ve given it my all with this practice."

She felt that continuing would only yield the same results.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I want to ask you about a place, Senior Sister."

"Where?" Lu Xiaolu’s spirit was lifted.

Chu Zhiyuan used Sound Transmission into Secret to utter three words, "Evil Suppressing Abyss."

Lu Xiaolu looked puzzled.

Chu Zhiyuan softly asked, "The Court’s secret land used to suppress miraculous objects, does Guanghan Palace have any records?"

"I haven’t heard of it; I need to ask the Palace Master," Lu Xiaolu gently shook her head.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I have another suggestion for the Palace Master."

"What is it?"

"They should speed up, don’t delay any longer, as continued delay will be exceedingly dangerous."

"Okay, I’ll tell the Palace Master," Lu Xiaolu said, "Why are you asking about the Evil Suppressing Abyss?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile.

Lu Xiaolu gave him a sidelong glance, "So secretive, alright, I’ll go and ask now."

With that, she turned and left. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Chu Zhiyuan didn’t stop her; speeding up the Four Sects was more important than the Evil Suppressing Abyss.

He squinted slightly, focusing his heart and spirit on Zhu Lingyun.

In the depths of a dense forest, more than a dozen middle-aged men were seated around a statue.

A young man sat before the statue; it was his clone, Zhu Lingyun.

Zhu Lingyun sat cross-legged before the statue, his expression solemn.

The statue emitted a soft light, enveloping him.

Chu Zhiyuan sat at the table, squinting his eyes, looking out the window, but his heart and spirit were entirely focused on Zhu Lingyun.

Without complete focus, he could almost be cut off from his connection with Zhu Lingyun.

The connection of heart and spirit was constantly on the verge of being severed, caused by the statue.

While Chu Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes at the outside view, his heart was cold as ice.

Zhu Lingyun had reached a critical moment; the Evil Venerable was about to descend.

Once descended, Zhu Lingyun would no longer be Zhu Lingyun.

This clone of Zhu Lingyun was very useful, capable of uncovering insider information from the Evil Sect.

Not just the Giant Spirit Sect, but also information from other sects.

Through Zhu Lingyun, he knew that another two sects’ Evil Venerables were also going to descend.

Besides Zhu Lingyun, the other two would not descend upon a Divine Son, thus having weaker power.

But the joint descent of three Evil Venerables creates a combined strike force with formidable power.

Though the Four Great Sects’ experts were strong, they would still suffer heavy losses even if they managed to withstand it.

Should he use the clone of Zhu Lingyun to meet this Evil Venerable?

To thus trace the real existence of the Evil Venerable and eliminate it?

Yet this could potentially destroy the clone completely, losing it.

He was contemplating how to make the decision.

As time slowly passed, the soft light gradually intensified, and Zhu Lingyun’s expression became more and more solemn.

The originally seated people around him all stood up and started walking in circles around the statue and Zhu Lingyun in accordance with a unique Step Technique, which was an Array.

After eighteen circles, their bodies radiated brightly, gathering towards the statue.

Suddenly a vast power descended from the sky.

The Evil Venerable descended.
