Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 1223 - 1219: Background Information

During his cultivation, a voice came from outside: "Junior Brother? Junior Brother?"

Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes, floated off the bed, and came outside, opening the courtyard gate.

Lu Xiaolu was standing outside the door.

In a snow-white dress, like a fairy in the snow, she exuded a gentle radiance.

"Hehe, Junior Brother, what are you busy with?" She waved her jade hand.

Chu Zhiyuan extended his hand and invited, "Senior Sister."

Lu Xiaolu leaped into the door, walking lightly forward as if entering her own home.

She came to a small pavilion, admiring the flowers in the opposite flowerbed.

At this time, dusk settled, and the flowers in the flowerbed began to close.

She stepped forward, touched a few flowers, sniffed the fragrance on her jade hand, and sat down at the stone table with a smile.

Chu Zhiyuan sat down and made her a cup of tea, smiling: "Senior Sister, did you find out?"

"The Palace Master specifically asked me to return to take a look at the records of the Evil Suppressing Abyss."

"Is the Evil Suppressing Abyss that unusual?"

"Very unusual!" She nodded forcefully, her bright eyes staring at him: "Junior Brother, don’t go to the Evil Suppressing Abyss!"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "But I have already agreed to go help out."

"Then just play rogue, don’t go." Lu Xiaolu snorted: "Going there is a death sentence, so many Nine Transitions Venerables have died in the Evil Suppressing Abyss!"

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

"You don’t believe it?"

"I naturally believe Senior Sister’s words." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said: "What exactly is suppressed in the Evil Suppressing Abyss?"

"An unspeakable thing."

"Unspeakable?" Chu Zhiyuan was puzzled, looking up at the sky.

"This thing is partly real. Every time it’s mentioned, its power grows." Lu Xiaolu’s delicate face was tense, her expression serious.

Chu Zhiyuan was curious: "Is there really such a strange object?"

"This is just the beginning!" Lu Xiaolu snorted: "These ancient relics each have their strange abilities, beyond imagination."

"For example?"

"There are some strange things, one can thrive on the wind, another cannot die as long as there’s light, both extremely troubling and powerfully terrifying."

Chu Zhiyuan curiously said: "I seem to have never seen such things, right?"

"If we were capable of seeing them, everyone around us would’ve likely been killed already."

"Are they all in the Evil Suppressing Abyss?"

"Not just in the Evil Suppressing Abyss, some are in certain secret lands or special places." Lu Xiaolu shook her head and said, "I just learned that this world is indeed so perilous."

This time when she went back, she saw those secret scrolls and realized there’s a side of the world unknown to most people. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.

Despite the existence of Super Sense, which allowed him knowledge far beyond ordinary people.

But after all, he is not a god; he can’t know everything and can only comprehend matters within a hundred-mile radius.

This world indeed harbors strange relics, like the clear light in his mind, an existence beyond imagination.

"Some strange things, not even martial arts can fend them off, no matter how strong you are." Lu Xiaolu said: "Now I understand how naive I once was!"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Senior Sister, are you perhaps calling me naive?"

Lu Xiaolu rolled her eyes at him, "Don’t you think that now with Nine Transitions, you can traverse the world with ease?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Lu Xiaolu said, "If that were true, your Palace Master and Sect Leader wouldn’t be staying inside the sect all day and never leaving."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Makes sense."

"That unspeakable thing in the Evil Suppressing Abyss can’t be killed." Lu Xiaolu said, "You going there to help is useless."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Our martial arts can’t kill it?"

Lu Xiaolu shook her head, "If it could be killed, it would’ve been long ago. Martial arts from the ancient times were much stronger than now, like heaven and earth difference."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "So it can only be suppressed, no way to completely eradicate..."

"Indeed, and every year, lives of experts are sacrificed into it." Lu Xiaolu said, "Those top experts nearing the end of their lifespan often head to the Evil Suppressing Abyss."

"The Palace Master said that the Court would pay a huge price to have these experts stationed there."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

This is inevitable.

With little life left and not wanting to die immediately, a significant price must be paid to send these experts to their deaths. No wonder there’s a Lifespan Extension Pill.

His expression gradually turned serious.

He recalled the experts seen in the Evil Suppressing Abyss, not too few in number, at least a dozen.

Are these all going to their deaths?

But observing their essence, they didn’t look like dying people; instead, they were full of vitality.

"Anyway, the Evil Suppressing Abyss is too dangerous; you shouldn’t go there again."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Are there any other secret lands similar to the Evil Suppressing Abyss?"

"As far as I know, there are two other places." Lu Xiaolu said, "But I can’t tell you."

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.

Lu Xiaolu solemnly tightened her delicate face: "I indeed can’t say."

"Unspeakable?" Chu Zhiyuan said.

Lu Xiaolu solemnly nodded.

"Can you write it down?"

"No."

"How do you know then?" Chu Zhiyuan said.

"It jumped into my mind." Lu Xiaolu said, "It’s recorded in the secret tome of our palace."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Well then..."

"But I can’t write those characters." Lu Xiaolu said.

Chu Zhiyuan mused.

He can’t help thinking of the Divine Language, which not everyone can write.

Nor can it emit sound.

He pondered, "Is it due to insufficient cultivation?"

Lu Xiaolu nodded, "Yes, without enough cultivation, no one can write it now, and that secret tome can’t be shown to you."

Chu Zhiyuan sighed, "Alright, sometimes being too curious isn’t necessarily a good thing."

Lu Xiaolu asked, "Junior Brother, do you still plan to go to the Evil Suppressing Abyss?"

She knew Chu Zhiyuan’s temperament well, knowing he would never go back on a promise.

But she truly worried about his life.

The Evil Suppressing Abyss is no joke; it’s too dangerous, going there is akin to courting death.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I will be careful."

Lu Xiaolu rolled her eyes, snorted, "Aren’t you cautious, aren’t you afraid of death? Knowing how dangerous the Evil Suppressing Abyss is, why go?"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "It’s not as dangerous as imagined."

At least for now, the strange thing is suppressed and hasn’t broken free.

"If not that dangerous, why have so many Nine Transitions experts died?"

"Perhaps their lifespan ran out."

"...That also makes sense." Lu Xiaolu was startled and slowly nodded.

The Evil Suppressing Abyss has buried many Nine Transitions experts, but thinking about it now, they likely died with exhausted lifespan.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "If the Evil Suppressing Abyss was truly that dangerous, I wouldn’t go in."

He possesses a keen intuition, especially acute and sharp for danger.

The moment stepping into the Evil Suppressing Abyss, intuition will tell him how dangerous it is.

If indeed that perilous, intuition will warn him, allowing avoidance.

But the danger isn’t as great.

Lu Xiaolu said, "Alright, then be extremely careful, don’t try to be a hero, and run if necessary."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded, "You can rest assured, Senior Sister, I’m not that stubborn."

Lu Xiaolu smiled.

Indeed true, if life-threatening, he wouldn’t force it.

"Okay, I will go now." Lu Xiaolu stood up and drank her tea in one gulp.

"Senior Sister, please wait a moment." Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, took out a thin book from his chest, and handed it to her: "This is a secret technique I obtained elsewhere."

Lu Xiaolu took it and flipped through it, looking at him in surprise.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It’s a secret technique for concealing aura, quite effective."

It’s about reciprocation; having learned the secret technique from Guanghan Palace, naturally, it’s necessary to reciprocate.

Only with give and take, there can be a long-lasting way.
