Imperial Cultivation

But he didn't rush to make a move.

Super Sensing Illumination, this Heavenly Demon should be at the Qi Transformation Realm of cultivation.

After all, anything above the Qi Transformation Realm can't get in.

But who knows what strange means he might have; one must be wary and observe first.

More importantly, he needed to figure out why this Heavenly Demon appeared.

A Heavenly Demon invading Yujing Cave Heaven is a significant event.

If not clarified, who knows if Yujing Cave Heaven would become part of the Demon Clan.

For the Jade Dynasty, the status of Yujing Cave Heaven is extremely important.

What's more, Yujing Cave Heaven opens once every hundred years.

But if the Demon Clan can come in too, doesn't that mean they can enter anytime, not just once every hundred years?

As a prince, it's his responsibility to figure this out; otherwise, it would be negligence.

If he only thinks about going to the Phoenix Dynasty as a Prince Consort and doesn't care about the Jade Dynasty's well-being,

that would be too shallow.

In any case, the Jade Dynasty is his confidence and backing.

Thinking of this, he pulled out a flying knife from his sleeve.

The flying knife was exquisite, small, and adorable.

At the same time, in Little Outer Heaven,

Chu Zhiyuan, sitting on the bed, opened his eyes.

He frowned and pondered.

Inside the Prince Qing Mansion, it was tranquil and silent.

Cool moonlight spread over the Prince Mansion, giving it a faint silver glow.

Everyone had fallen asleep.

Only the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree roamed freely between heaven and earth, carefree and joyous.

It greeted Chu Zhiyuan's mind and continued to fly away.

Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes again.

In the void of his mind, he sat cross-legged, with a halo behind his head growing ever brighter.

As the news of the Extinction Evil Sect spread, people's gratitude and admiration for him increased, making the halo shine brighter.

His avatar's divine skills grew stronger.

His understanding of divine skills became clearer.

He concentrated, urging the halo brighter behind his head until it turned into a small sun.

Then it suddenly dimmed.

A dazzling light shot to the remote corner of the soul's realm in the void of his mind.

His original halo dimmed almost to the point of disappearing.

Luckily, a faint yet constant breath continued to gather from all directions, restoring and fortifying the halo.

In Outer Heaven, Chu Zhiyuan smiled as a wisp of his soul slipped into the flying knife.

Just as when the main body executed the Sword Soul, the small flying knife was now infused with the Sword Soul, akin to another avatar of his.

This avatar was a weakened version, lacking its own independent intelligence, having only the five senses and super sense.

This is the cost of the avatar directly crossing two realms.

If the avatar had been brought over by Xiao Ruoling, there would not be this price to pay.

Unfortunately, Xiao Ruoling was in seclusion, diligently practicing the Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique.

The flying knife drifted lightly, slowly approaching a handsome youth several miles away.

The handsome youth was unaware, cautiously curious as he surveyed his surroundings.

His first time entering a Grotto Heaven, his goal was exploration, not harvest.

He walked shaking his head, full of disappointment.

Yujing Cave Heaven was overrated.

Its fame was large, supposedly holding the mysteries of the Jade Dynasty's rise.

If this Yujing Cave Heaven could be taken and transformed into the Demon Clan's, it would be a significant blow to the Jade Dynasty, even affecting its fortune.

Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes, letting the flying knife approach, monitoring the Heavenly Demon.

He shook his head, somewhat regretful.

Sadly, the current divine skills can only send over one avatar, unable to send more.

If more could come, the avatar could seize the body, like earlier with the Spiritual Ape, aiding him in finding Strange Flowers and Fruits.

Currently, he had no feelings for anything below third grade, desiring those from first to third grade.

Grades one to three were scarce and hard to find, leaving him quite helpless.

Meanwhile, he saw the Heavenly Demon leisurely exploring, instinctively digging for Strange Flowers and Fruits.

Suddenly, Chu Zhiyuan focused intensely.

He saw that the Heavenly Demon had picked a Moon Spirit Fruit.

It was a First Grade Strange Fruit!

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

This guy is really lucky, not knowing anything yet accidentally picking this Moonlight Fruit.

Moonlight Fruit looks just like a regular peach, but its pit is silver.

Other than that, there's no difference.

So, finding it relies not on sight but on luck.

A First Grade Strange Fruit is like this.

It's not that you find it, but it finds you.

Unexpected encounters, found by chance not by pursuit.

His unique advantage was through the super sense; a real encounter with a First Grade Strange Fruit would be visible, not missed.

But no matter how powerful the super sense, it can't create something from nothing; First Grade Strange Fruits are really too few and unevenly distributed, truly relying on luck.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Demon took a look at the Moon Spirit Fruit and disdainfully cast it aside.

Chu Zhiyuan was immediately overjoyed.

This guy is lucky, but not that lucky.

If he were truly lucky, he wouldn't have encountered me!

The flying knife silently followed behind the handsome youth, and after he was far away, it lightly settled on the Moon Spirit Fruit.

The Moon Spirit Fruit was immediately absorbed by it, drifting lightly across the grass, flying back to the mountaintop, and placed in Chu Zhiyuan's open palm.

It flew back, staying within a mile range of the handsome youth.

Chu Zhiyuan examined the Moon Spirit Fruit in his palm, smiling wider and wider.

This Heavenly Demon turns out to be a blessing for him.

Who knows if he might encounter another First Grade Strange Fruit.

There's great potential to unearth.

If it weren't for having to hurry to Heavenly Person Peak, it would be nice to follow this Heavenly Demon.

Thinking of this, he took a few bites and ate the Moon Spirit Fruit, tasting bitter like a persimmon.

If he hadn't known it was a Moon Spirit Fruit, he would've spat it out after one bite.

The mouth was full of astringency, and besides the bitterness, there was no other sensation, no heat, no coolness.

He ate the whole thing in a few bites and finally sent the silver pit into his mouth, chewing it forcefully, and once crushed, his body suddenly felt like falling into a fresh cooling environment.

It was as if he had plunged into a cold spring, with a refreshing coolness spreading throughout, both inside and out, clearing his thoughts completely, leaving his mind without a trace of distracting thoughts.

Meanwhile, within the Dantian, another halo circled around the gloomy fish-eye, clear as nine circles.

Already Nine Transitions!

Chu Zhiyuan exhaled deeply, nearly wanting to shout to the sky.

The speed of this advancement is truly exhilarating, much faster than the arduous practice at the Great Bright Peak.

No wonder Yujing Cave Heaven is a blessed land.

In just three days, with enough luck, one can go from First Transition to Nine Transitions, saving decades of hard work for others.

Then why are there only three slots?

If all the princes were allowed to enter, wouldn't it directly create a batch at the Transformation Realm?

Then all the princes' advances would be far ahead of typical Martial Arts experts?

He thought about it somewhat and understood vaguely.

In Little Outer Heaven, the realm is everything, capable of crushing all lower levels.

Here, however, the realm is not everything, martial skills and martial arts are more crucial.

This requires sufficient insight.

Lacking the accumulation of the Qi Transformation Realm, it might lack enough comprehension, affecting future progress.

For someone like himself, who surpassed everyone to win the slot, he wasn't short of insight.

He guessed this might be the case, but knew he knew too little and wasn't sure it was true.

Since Yujing Cave Heaven is the origin of the Jade Dynasty, it surely wouldn't be so simple.

Unfortunately, the time is too short for thorough exploration.

He rose to continue forward, needing to reach Heavenly Person Peak quickly.

No longer need to pursue Strange Flowers and Fruits, impossible to advance further.

From the Qi Transformation Realm to the Transformation Realm, it's no longer about arduous practice, but comprehension.

He didn't want to comprehend now, lest he directly ascends to the Transformation Realm and gets thrown out of the Cave Heaven.
