Imperial Cultivation

He hurried along while closely watching every move of the handsome young man.

The handsome young man walked leisurely, occasionally digging into rocks and then observing the strange flowers and grasses.

But the strange flowers and grasses in Yujing Cave Heaven were not so easy to recognize, and he gained nothing.

He also occasionally encountered some large or small animals.

Upon encountering them, he would lightly tap them to take their lives.

At the same time, he pressed their foreheads.

He could see a strand of seven-colored light drifting from the foreheads of these animals into the handsome young man's palm.

As this strand of seven-colored light entered his palm, a flush appeared on the handsome young man's face, as though drinking sweet dew.

His emerald eyes became shining brightly, as if he had acquired a great supplement.

Chu Zhiyuan's face was gloomy.

This is the Demon Clan, devouring.

Just like the Evil Sect demons in Little Outer Heaven, they could only consume essence blood.

These demons, some devour essence blood, some devour cultivation, and others devour souls.

The lower demons devour essence blood, while the higher demons devour souls, and even a bit of primordial yang.

This bit of primordial yang is very pure, and when the heavenly demon devours it, it can even extend its lifespan.

Seeing these acts of devouring, Chu Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel a murderous intent.

After witnessing the wickedness of those Evil Sect demons, understanding the destruction of such ability, it was truly detestable.

Humans are treated like livestock, becoming resources for cultivation, turned into spirit pills for cultivation.

This has already breached the bottom line of human nature.

In Outer Heaven, the Demon Clan continues this practice, viewing humans as pills, constantly hunting them to grow stronger.

Therefore, he harbors a strong desire to kill the entire Demon Clan, all little demons deserve to die.

He suddenly understood.

No wonder this heavenly demon is not very interested in strange flowers and exotic fruits; for the Demon Clan, humans are the best spirit pills.

These strange flowers and fruits attract them weakly; it's much easier to directly devour humans.

He gritted his teeth, feeling an inexplicable impulse to first kill this heavenly demon.

But as this thought emerged, a strong sense of crisis suddenly flooded in.

His face slightly changed: this heavenly demon could actually kill him!

It was like a basin of cold water poured over his head, instantly waking him up.

First, monitor him, figure out exactly what he wants to do, and how he got in.

As for dealing with him, let's wait a bit to see if we can obtain the Void Secret Treasure from Heavenly Person Peak.

Obtaining the secret treasure might increase his abilities significantly.

Or perhaps receive a unique inheritance.

Or his enlightenment greatly increases, pushing the Entering Intent Level Great Demon Suppression Seal to Transformation Intent Level or even Divine Level.

Thus, he continued on his journey, aiming to quickly find Heavenly Person Peak.

Hoping that the heavenly demon who entered is only one and hasn't discovered Heavenly Person Peak nor damaged it.

If the heavenly demons find Heavenly Person Peak first, or even obtain the Void Secret Treasure, that would be a true disaster.

——

Moonlight is like water.

He stood by a babbling brook, looking up at the towering and majestic peak across, knowing he had found his target.

The mountain peak before him soared into the clouds, half obscured by clouds.

Yet it couldn't hide from his insight.

On the mountain, clouds and mist covered, vegetation was lush, peculiar stones were piled, and stream water babbled.

The mountain was high, dangerous, and strange, yet quietly enchanting, a superb place.

Chu Zhiyuan gazed longingly.

If one could reside here for cultivation, that would be true enjoyment.

Compared to Great Bright Peak, this mountain is truly a holy land for cultivation.

He stepped forward, intending to enter this peak.

First planning to pass through the dense ancient woodland ahead, then upward, bypassing the forest of peculiar stones, reaching the few huts at the topmost layer.

Those huts must be the true essence of Heavenly Person Peak, where the Void Secret Treasure lies.

Suddenly he halted, blocked by a strong, invisible force.

Chu Zhiyuan was taken aback.

He hadn't heard that Heavenly Person Peak could be like this.

He tried, invisible force was resilient and strong, making it impossible for him to advance.

Unwilling, he operated his power forward, yin yang fish reversed, streams of pure aura infused his body.

But still, he couldn't enter.

His spirit light momentarily flashed, and suddenly he punched forward.

The Entering Spirit Level Great Brightness Fist transformed into a Light Fist as it struck into the invisible force.

In an instant, dazzling light shone, and then the "ding" sound resonated everywhere.

The previously resilient force suddenly vanished as if it had never appeared.

He stepped forward without obstruction.

He stepped back two paces, returning to the original spot, the resilient force emerged again, pushing him away.

Thus, he used the Great Brightness Fist again.

"Ding..." a crisp sound.

The space before him loosened, and the strong resilient force vanished once more.

He slowly nodded, revealing a smile.

It turns out the Great Brightness Fist is the key, a pass.

If he hadn't mastered the Great Brightness Fist, he couldn't have entered Heavenly Person Peak.

He insightfully observed all directions, arriving at a rock wall a dozen paces away.

The rock wall was located within the forest, with five bold crimson characters inscribed above.

Light shines all around.

In the lower right corner, a small inscription: In the eighteenth year of the Yuan Cheng era, Chu Chunhan obtained the Void Secret Treasure Great Brightness Crown, comprehended the Great Brightness Fist, and specially left the intent of the Great Brightness Fist for future generations to come.

Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

The name Chu Chunhan is renowned.

The founder of the Jade Dynasty, the first Emperor, was Chu Chunhan.

It's said the Jade Dynasty has deep ties with Yujing Cave Heaven, could it be because of this Heavenly Person Peak?

He closed his eyes, thoughtfully recalling what he had seen before, feeling the fist intent of the Great Brightness Fist—gentle, strong, resilient.

This understanding differed from his own.

He then stepped back, returning to the riverbank, trying to push forward again.

Gentle yet firm, strong yet resilient, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't advance.

Is this the fist intent of the Great Brightness Fist?

He reached out his palm, pressing onto the invisible force, feeling as if pressing on a ball.

Closing his eyes, the mental state and moves of the Great Brightness Fist slowly matched, his heart continually capturing and sensing.

Faintly he felt gentleness and firmness, slowly flowing into his heart.

He knew gentleness and resilience, but he usually acted with hardness.

Relying on Super Sense, high intelligence, calmness, and meticulousness, exterminating opponents like dimensional reduction strikes.

He knew actions require a balance of hard and soft but lacked true gentleness and strong resilience.

At this moment, he sensed gentleness and resilience from the fist power.

Gentleness and resilience were like fine streams, slowly flowing into his heart.

Suddenly, he punched forward.

The void flashed with a soft glow, faint gentle light shot far away, penetrating the dense ancient trees, causing their branches and leaves to rustle but not injuring them.

The force could be hard, could be soft, changing freely, distance could be far or near, no longer confined to fist shadow or form, light is fist, fist is light.

It's said to be the Great Brightness Fist, but it's truly Great Brightness.

This is the Spirit Transformation Realm Great Brightness Fist.

He couldn't help but feel like roaring long, even if he didn't obtain the Void Secret Treasure this time, it's worth it.

After reaching Entering Spirit Level, he couldn't find a path to further advancement; all his spirit light seemed exhausted, unable to reach new enlightenment.

Now he knows the strength of the Great Brightness Fist isn't just fierce and rapid, but also gentle and resilient.

Feeling overwhelmed, he arrived at the rock wall and suddenly hit it with a light punch.

"Bang!" A ball of light landed on the rock wall.

The Spirit Transformation Level Great Brightness Fist collided with unseen forces.

After the collision of two forces, a ball of brighter light appeared and then suddenly shrunk.

Transforming into a human figure.

In front of him suddenly appeared a tall, handsome young man, standing mid-air, wearing a sparkling and translucent crown, smiling at him.
