Imperial Cultivation

He raised the white jade wine cup, looked up at the bright moon, and lifted it towards the east: "This cup is for the Twelfth Princess."

He drank it all in one go.

Putting down the wine cup, he glanced again at Li Yuzhen, shook his head, and said, "Speaking of which, now the one most concerned about my safety is surprisingly the Twelfth Princess, truly amusing! Heh, amusing!"

His tone carried a great deal of sarcasm.

Li Yuzhen remained still.

Yet her heart surged.

This Ninth Prince was not as foolish as the rumors suggested, his reactions were extremely sharp.

It's just a pity that he wasted time, missing the opportunity for cultivation, and is still only at the Qi Transformation Realm.

He's not exactly a settled one, and this task of mine isn't easy to handle.

Chu Zhiyuan turned and said, "Aunt, arrange well for this Guard Li."

"Yes, Your Highness," You Lan replied, smiling, "Miss Li, please follow me."

"Thank you," Li Yuzhen clasped her fists in salute, nodded to Chu Zhiyuan, and withdrew.

Chu Zhiyuan squinted slightly, always observing Li Yuzhen's every move with insight.

When You Lan returned lightly, Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Aunt, do you think she is genuine?"

You Lan was stunned, shook her head, and said, "She should be, right?"

"Who knows, what if she wasn't sent by the Twelfth Prince? ... Send someone to ask."

"Yes." You Lan replied seriously.

This Li Yuzhen has formidable cultivation, a cold temperament, and a solitary character, very much like someone from the Twelfth Princess.

Furthermore, she also had the token and visiting card from the Twelfth Princess Mansion, which were carefully checked without any issues.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Aunt, now I have become a target of many, with a little carelessness, I could be harmed."

"Indeed, you must be careful." You Lan nodded solemnly, "Your Highness, you are truly different now."

He used to be careless and indifferent to everything.

Now he's so meticulous.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I have to be, I don't want to die again, especially not to be calculated to death by others."

You Lan nodded seriously, "I will have people from the Inspection Department help convey the message."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

The Inspection Department has communication means using the Bai Hong messenger pigeons, extremely fast in speed.

This Bai Hong is a miraculous bird, best at speed and direction discernment, never getting lost.

From the Imperial City of the Jade Dynasty to the Imperial City of the Phoenix Dynasty, one day is enough.

——

After Chu Zhiyuan finished eating, he walked out leisurely.

Through his insight, he saw Li Yuzhen had already silently followed him out.

Li Yuzhen was enveloped by an invisible force, as if she had plunged into deep lake water, her presence faint and indistinct.

If not using Super Sense, one wouldn't be able to sense her existence just by feeling.

This was evidently a kind of Miracle Technique.

An expert at the Divinity Transformation Realm, and even among the Spirit Guards of the Divinity Transformation Realm, indeed extraordinary.

It's just unknown what martial arts she excelled in, which martial arts she reached the spirit level in.

His own Great Brightness Fist had already reached divinity but still couldn't transform, still one layer away from entering spirit.

Spirit, also spirit.

What is the soul of the Great Brightness Fist?

Its essence is light, with light comes brightness, without light comes darkness.

Light is not just white light; there are all kinds of lights, and all kinds of lights can combine into white light.

So brightness is not just white light.

This is his understanding of the Great Brightness Fist, also the essence of the Great Brightness Fist, but what about the soul?

Is the soul of the Great Brightness Fist still light?

Brightness is not just white light, but the Great Brightness Fist only uses white light.

If all light is brightness, is the essence, then white light is its soul.

He vaguely felt that he still needed to continue exploring, pursuing the origin of light.

How is light emitted?

He vaguely touched upon the true key to martial arts enlightenment: the process of understanding and pursuing the Martial Arts Realm is actually the process of understanding and pursuing the origin of life.

The divine is the essence;

The spirit is the soul;

The void is the primordial.

What is primordial? It is the origin of life.

Others are unclear about the origin and end of life, but for him, it is crystal clear.

He has Super Sense, clearly seeing the birth of life, he practices the Yin Yang Return to Void Technique, clearly seeing the cycle of life and death.

Treat each martial art as a life form to comprehend, then it becomes much simpler.

Others may not see through it, but with Super Sense, he can perceive the birth and demise of all things.

Great Brightness Fist, is about comprehending brightness, entering and transforming intent, is to align with the Bright Heart to mobilize the force of brightness.

Entering spirit is to realize the nature of brightness.

Entering transformation is to realize the characteristics of brightness.

Entering void is to understand the source of brightness.

It is like pursuing the ultimate understanding of the human body.

The human body comes from a point of Yuan Yang entering the womb, then develops soul and spirit, followed by flesh, blood, and bones, ultimately evolving into a human body, creating a unique character to live in the world.

Understanding the human body is a reverse tracing process, from the human body tracing upwards to its unique character, then tracing back to the soul, and ultimately tracing back to a point of Yuan Yang.

In a flash, his vision brightened, and countless thoughts surged.

Then he turned into an alley, paused, and fell into contemplation.

All his spirit was used to capture and comprehend these spirit lights, not letting a single one slip by.

A gentle glow began to emanate from him, like the light when he was performing the Great Brightness Fist.

Soft light radiated from his body, enveloping him within.

Li Yuzhen appeared at the entrance of the alley not far away, eyebrow furrowed as she looked at him, her white robe fluttering, hand on the sword's hilt.

This situation didn't seem like an attack, but with countless Miracle Techniques in the world, unknown means must be guarded against.

Her bright eyes scanned the surroundings, focused and sensing.

The clearest feeling was from Chu Zhiyuan.

She clearly felt the surging power expanding within him, growing ever stronger.

The power seemed like a gushing spring, constantly accumulating in him.

In the blink of an eye, he became like a small sun falling down, emitting dazzling light, too bright to look at directly.

She was amazed.

Could this be the Great Brightness Fist?

Chu Zhiyuan's surrounding light quickly gathered inwards, finally condensing into a gentle light in front of his outstretched fist.

After the gentle light, it continued to condense, finally transforming into a Light Fist.

The size of the Light Fist was equal to his fist, and as his fist hurled towards the far end of the alley, it instantly reached Li Yuzhen's presence.

Li Yuzhen didn't expect this punch to be so fast and drew her sword to parry it.

The sword tip carried a hint of red glow, piercing into the Light Fist.

"Sst!"

A strong wind howled, her white robe fluttered with sound, hair drifting.

"Entering spirit!" she softly uttered two words.

Even if she hadn't seen the Great Brightness Fist, she could feel this fist power.

The fist power contained powerful spiritual power, pure and warm.

She felt warm, as if everything in the world had become better.

The shadows hidden deep in her heart were unexpectedly melted away a bit.

Heart toward brightness.

Her bright eyes sparkled, glaringly looking at Chu Zhiyuan with surprise.

This was very evidently a spirit level fist technique.

A fist technique that enters and transforms intent, with powerful force.

A fist technique that enters and transforms divinity, with powerful force that can also influence mental state, disturbing and disrupting the opponent's mind.

Yet a fist technique that enters and transforms spirit, can directly shake the spirit.

This was clearly already a spirit level fist technique, a spirit level Great Brightness Fist!

And this Ninth Prince, is still just in the Fifth Transitions of the Qi Transformation Realm.

This was truly bizarre.

It seemed unheard of for someone to grasp a spirit level martial arts skill while still in the Qi Transformation Realm.

This Ninth Prince was indeed a martial arts prodigy!

Chu Zhiyuan looked down at his fist, then looked up at Li Yuzhen in the distance: "This is entering spirit, right?"

Li Yuzhen withdrew her excitement and surprise from her eyes, returning to her cold demeanor: "Congratulations, Prince Consort, spirit level fist technique."
