Imperial Cultivation

The blood energy struggled to flow slowly, maintaining his consciousness from lapsing into stupor, striving to keep clear-headed.

At this time, he still hadn't used the Super Sense.

Unless at a dangerous juncture, in front of so many Venerables, he would not rashly use the Super Sense.

Who knows if they possess Miracle Techniques, sensing the peculiar existence of the Super Sense.

He felt that at least after mastering the Great Demon Suppression Seal, he can confidently display it.

He can claim that Super Sense is a strange ability formed by the Great Demon Suppression Seal.

Chu Honglin slowly pressed onto the faintly visible Light Gate, causing his clothes to flutter as the Light Gate gradually became clear.

Chu Zhiyuan felt an even greater pressure, his breathing growing increasingly difficult, his blood energy nearly stagnant.

"Hah!" Chu Honglin suddenly shouted.

His palms suddenly shone brightly, as if a small sun appeared in his hands.

The Light Gate lit up instantly, then became crystal clear like substance, revealing a White Jade Gate.

Flowers and strange grasses carved on the gate seemed to come alive, as if a breeze was stirring these plants.

The vast power vanished in an instant.

Chu Zhiyuan exhaled deeply: "Uncle, if it went on any longer without entering the Grotto Heaven, I'd be entering the underworld."

Chu Honglin laughed: "Stop babbling, look at the effort we've put in, go in quickly, your time is limited, you have only three days."

"And if I don't come out in three days?"

"After three days, you'll be expelled."

"There's no way to stay longer?"

"There will be an invisible force rejecting you, you can't stay."

"What a pity." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Chu Honglin said: "Stop dithering, get in quickly, head inside and find the Heavenly Person Peak."

He took out a dark bracelet from his clothing and handed it to Chu Zhiyuan: "Take this."

Chu Zhiyuan was taken aback.

This bracelet seemed to be carved from wood, lacking gloss and not attention-grabbing.

Chu Honglin said: "With this, you don't have to lug a bundle back and forth."

Chu Zhiyuan accepted it with a smile: "Uncle, what is this?"

Chu Hongming and the others looked at Chu Honglin in surprise, then at the Black Wood Bracelet.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and asked: "Fifth Uncle, do you know what this is?"

Chu Hongming said: "Fifteenth Brother, you're quite generous."

Chu Honglin said indifferently: "I got another one, keeping this is useless."

He shook his left hand.

On the ring finger of his left hand, there was a silver ring that looked clouded with dust.

It exuded an ancient aura, clearly not a precious piece of jewelry at first glance.

Chu Hongming looked at Chu Zhiyuan, who was examining the Black Wood Bracelet closely: "This is a storage ring, a rare miraculous item in the world, passed down from ancient times, with it, you indeed don't need to carry a bundle anymore."

Chu Zhiyuan showed a look of amazement.

Chu Honglin waved his hand: "Let me impart the Sacrificial Refining Method to you, refine it after you go in, don't waste time, hurry and go in."

He sent the Mnemonic through Sound Transmission into Secret into his ear.

After hearing it, Chu Zhiyuan quickly nodded.

This Mnemonic was almost identical to the Sacrificial Refining Method that Xu Yingying had passed on back then.

"Let's go." Chu Honglin waved his hand.

Chu Zhiyuan deeply hid his gratitude, clasped his fists with a smile: "Thank you several Imperial Uncles, I'm going in, I'll bring back good stuff."

He pushed the White Jade Gate with both hands and stepped inside, turning to look, only to see the White Jade Gate had vanished.

He couldn't help but marvel at the mystery.

Is this the Yujing Cave Heaven?

He unleashed the Super Sense.

The surrounding twenty miles were imprinted in his mind, allowing him to gain Insight.

Within a twenty-mile radius, every mountain, river, flower, grass, and tree vividly appeared.

Every small stone in the river, every splash and whirlpool, every small grass in the woods, every small stone in the soil, nothing escaped his Insight.

Including the insects and Strange Beasts mingling within, as well as various dangerous terrains such as swamps.

For example, a hundred meters ahead lay a swamp.

Unless one could pierce through thick leaves to see below, it was impossible to avoid this swamp just by looking.

And one couldn't avoid the countless small insects in the swamp, or the giant beast lurking twenty meters deep below.

This beast was similar to a crocodile, its skin like black iron, motionless, with three tongue-like projections simultaneously emerging from its mouth, each slender as a finger.

They agilely extended out a meter, rolling dense small insects into their mouths.

These insects were long and thin, blood-red in color.

A thousand meters away, an animal similar to a deer suddenly stepped into the swamp.

As soon as it stepped into the swamp, it became motionless as if turned into a statue, not struggling at all, quietly sinking.

It had already died.

This swamp was highly poisonous.

Countless tiny insects had drilled through its skin and even its bones.

In the blink of an eye, this beast became riddled with holes, swallowed by countless tiny insects.

Chu Zhiyuan felt his hair stand on end.

Is this the Grotto Heaven?

In everyone's imagination, Yujing Cave Heaven was a wonderful place filled with countless Strange Flowers and Fruits, large numbers of fortuitous encounters, like treasures waiting to be picked.

But such danger lurked here.

No wonder Fifth Uncle was so frantic and worried.

After discerning the direction, he started walking away, striving to quickly find the Heavenly Person Peak.

As he walked, he operated his Cultivation to complete the refinement of the Black Wood Bracelet.

Inside the Black Wood Bracelet was a ten-meter cubic space, very orderly in structure.

As he moved forward, he occasionally shifted sideways.

Within a hundred-meter radius, Strange Flowers and Grasses were all harvested into the Black Wood Bracelet.

While walking, he harvested Strange Flowers and Exotic Fruits, collecting over thirty Strange Flowers and ten Exotic Fruits after walking ten miles, a considerable harvest.

These Strange Flowers and Exotic Fruits might have effects like enhancing Cultivation or the marvel of Purifying.

Chu Zhiyuan operated his Cultivation while directly consuming a Heavenly Fruit.

The Heavenly Fruit was a Strange Fruit the size of a peach, with crystal clarity like ice, even revealing a dark green seed.

Given its crystalline transparency, it should be easy to spot.

But it grows in dark brown soil.

The flowers on its surface look no different than ordinary wildflowers, blending unnoticed among them.

Without his ability to see through inner and outer, it couldn't be found just by the flowers exposed on the surface of the Heavenly Fruit.

In that Silk Book, Strange Flowers and Exotic Fruits of Yujing Cave Heaven were categorized into nine grades.

He discovered that the Outer Heaven especially favored organizing things into nine grades.

The Heavenly Fruit was a Third Grade Strange Fruit.

A First Grade Strange Fruit could raise Eighth Transition to Ninth Transition with just one.

A Second Grade Strange Fruit could raise Seventh Transition to Eighth Transition with just one.

A Third Grade Strange Fruit could raise Sixth Transition to Seventh Transition with just one.

...

An Eighth Grade Strange Fruit could raise First Transition to Second Transition with just one.

A Ninth Grade Strange Fruit could raise entry-level Qi Transformation to First Transition with just one.

If one wished to leap grades, like raising Sixth Transition to Seventh Transition, and had no Third Grade Strange Fruit, only Fourth Grade Strange Fruits, then it would take ten Fourth Grade Strange Fruits.

One grade difference meant a tenfold difference in efficacy.

...

Upon consuming the Heavenly Fruit, it turned into a stream of energy drilling into his internal organs, then converged in the Dantian, entering the Yin Yang Fish.

The eyes of the Yin Yang Fish immediately gained another aura ring, becoming seven rings.

This signified that he had reached the Seventh Transition.

As the aura rings changed, the Qi of the Yin Yang Fish instantly became more refined, speeding up its operation.

Apart from changes in the Yin Yang Fish, there was no anomaly on the outside, nor any noise.

Silently, he gained another Transition.

At Seven Transitions of the Qi Transformation Realm, he had already reached Seven Transitions, equivalent to a month's worth of diligent practice.

Seeing such marvelous effects, he then retrieved a Strange Flower.

Like jasper carving, with a gentle glow flowing inside, like spring water coursing within.

This was the Tourmaline Fruit.

The Tourmaline Fruit was also a Third Grade Strange Fruit, but there was only one, the remaining eight Strange Fruits included none of Fourth Grade, three of Fifth Grade, one of Sixth Grade, one of Seventh Grade, and three of Eighth Grade.

He didn't even bother picking up Ninth Grade Strange Fruits and Strange Grasses, feeling it would be a waste of effort.
