Chapter 104: Purple Imperial Palace Deduction Technique

Early the next morning, Lu Chen heard the sound of a crowing chicken coming from outside the sect.

This was the first time he had heard such a sound in this world.

"As expected of a proper orthodox sect; if this were a demonic sect, that chicken would have long been eaten and dragged out."

He made a joke, then turned his gaze to the naked Mu Han Yu beside him.

She slept soundly, her arms wrapped around his arm.

"Mo Xuan, you really found a good cultivation partner."

"Don't worry; after you leave, I'll take good care of her for you."

Saying that, Lu Chen turned his gaze inward; his soul entered the Sea of Consciousness.

Within that space, the Empress was surrounded by a special fluctuation, as if she were still refining her cultivation technique.

"It seems it will take quite a while."

He withdrew his consciousness back to reality, pulled his hand away, and stepped outside.

"This is the sect I've been longing for!"

Outside, countless cultivators flew on their swords; sword-light like rainbows wove a splendid picture across the sky.

Here, there is none of the murderous aura that blankets Perfect Continent; only refreshing spiritual energy that makes one feel relaxed and uplifted.

Just as his sigh faded, a figure suddenly leapt out from the distance, and as it moved, it emitted a tinkling bell sound.

The next moment, a young female sect disciple appeared, dressed in light gauze, with a pure appearance, looking somewhat short and cute.

"Senior Brother, greetings!"

She seemed unaware of Lu Chen's true identity; upon arriving before him, she took the initiative to salute with clasped hands.

"Who are you?"

Lu Chen felt puzzled; what is the Purple Imperial Palace up to?

"Is it trying to seduce him?"

"Can he not withstand such temptation?"

"I'm Chen Caiyun, a newly inducted inner disciple."

"Master said you were injured, Senior Brother, and asked me to temporarily look after your daily needs."

"?" Lu Chen froze.

"Injured? I didn't even know myself."

However, he roughly understood; this must be the Purple Imperial Palace's tactic to win him over.

Actually, Chen Caiyun was not acting on Huang Jingxuan's orders.

She had no intention of using the sect's disciples.

She was sent by the sect's elders.

That elder probably guessed the sect leader's intention and thus took the initiative.

"No thanks, uh... Junior Sister Caiyun."

Lu Chen waved his hand.

To his surprise, she didn't stand on ceremony and walked straight into his quarters.

"It's fine; I often took care of my parents back home!"

She entered the room with a cheerful smile, jogging lightly.

But immediately, the smile on her face froze.

Because she saw Mu Han Yu lying naked on the bed beside her.

"Waaah!!!"

Chen Caiyun covered her face and bolted out.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, Senior Brother, that there was a Senior Sister inside!"

Lu Chen gave a wry smile; she didn't even give him a chance to speak.

Watching her flee, he gave a faint smile.

This kind of life is rather interesting.

Compared to the time in the demonic sect, it's indeed much more relaxed and carefree.

But he knew this was merely a facade.

The Ink Region remains the Ink Region.

Perfect Continent remains Perfect Continent.

No matter what, the conflict between the orthodox and demonic factions is unavoidable.

"We still need to work hard to raise our cultivation realm."

Lu Chen glanced back inside; he felt that Mu Han Yu's Condensed Spirit Realm was no longer sufficient for his tastes.

If he wants to advance his realm more quickly, he'd likely need to seek a female cultivator of higher realm.

But where could he find one?

He had no idea for a moment.

Huang Jingxuan? He hadn't considered her as an option.

Don't be fooled by her current amiability; at some point she might suddenly lash out and kill him.

If he really considered that, what if she wasn't willing—what then?

So, better to forget it.

"It looks like we should bring Su Qian and the others over sooner."

Lu Chen originally didn't want to bring them to the Purple Imperial Palace so quickly.

But, to raise his cultivation level, he could only do so.

Anyway, as long as his cultivation level rose to the point where he could crush everything, he wouldn't need to worry about accidents anywhere.

Thinking of this, he immediately set out for the Sect Master's Hall he had visited yesterday.

At the gate of the Sect Master's Hall, an elder was on duty.

Upon seeing his appearance, the elder immediately stepped forward.

"Young friend, what brings you here?"

Lu Chen told him his request.

"No problem."

The elder gladly agreed to his request.

After settling that, he wandered around various places in the Purple Imperial Palace.

At the same time, he also went to the sect's Scripture Pavilion to look at those techniques.

He had thought that the techniques of a righteous sect would yield him nothing.

But, as he was looking, he suddenly felt his eyes light up.

He picked up that technique, and the next moment, a system notification came flooding in.

【Technique detected: Purple Imperial Deduction Art!】

【Original effect: Derive the future, derive days. Requires special bloodline and talent to cultivate; must be used with the Armillary Sphere. When used, it greatly consumes lifespan and affects fate, making reincarnation after death difficult.】

【Reversed effect: Derive the future, derive days. No special bloodline or talent needed to cultivate; no need to use with the Armillary Sphere. When used, it greatly restores lifespan and positively affects fate, and after death one does not enter reincarnation.】

"Such a technique, just left lying here like this?"

Lu Chen, intrigued, picked up the Purple Imperial Deduction Art and gave a faint smile.

At that moment, a cultivator beside him looked at him and suddenly spoke:

"Junior brother, don't recklessly try to cultivate this technique."

"For thousands of years, no one outside the sect has ever succeeded in cultivating it."

"If something goes wrong in cultivation, it could even cost one's life!"

The person was actually quite nice.

Lu Chen waved his hand to express his thanks, then took the technique.

"Hey! Why don't you believe me?"

Seeing this, that person reached out to stop him, but ultimately gave up.

Leaving the Scripture Pavilion, Lu Chen returned to his dwelling; at that moment, Mu Hanyu had already woken up.

However, what he didn't expect was that Chen Caiyun had actually come back.

The two seemed to be chatting quite happily.

Entering the courtyard, he saw the two burning firewood in the courtyard.

"Senior sister, this sweet potato is something I brought from my hometown......"

Hearing the other's voice, Mu Hanyu turned her gaze toward Lu Chen.

"It's fine, you guys play."

Lu Chen didn't mind and waved his hand.

"Yes."

This technique differs from others, so Lu Chen does not need to cultivate in a place rich in spiritual energy or malevolent energy.

"It seems that cultivating this technique in a place where the power of the Great Dao is abundant yields better results."

"It seems the only place I can think of in the short term is near the Armillary Sphere inside that hall."

Earlier, Lu Chen had realized that the Armillary Sphere was absolutely an extraordinary treasure.

Its quality definitely surpasses that of the special supreme treasure of the founding ancestor Yunshu.

"But never mind; let's try cultivating it first. If it works, we can go later without delay."

Thinking so, he immediately sat cross-legged and began attempting to cultivate.

"Purple Extreme opens the profound apertures, governing qi cycles the heavens, deducing the turning of the star river......"
