pondered and finally shook her head, saying, “I’ve never heard of it, it’s almost impossible to cultivate such a mental method.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan nodded, “Indeed, it’s very difficult.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first talent for cultivating this mental method is the Dual Use, which is truly using two minds simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously activating two mental methods, and they must be synchronized, at a constant speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that they can precisely cancel each other out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If synchronization cannot be achieved, the two breaths will not only fail to cancel each other out but will instead collide fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This step alone shows its difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a unique talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, besides this talent, other qualities are also needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan felt it was a pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that Yun Qiuhua is already over 400 years old, appearing youthful, yet is quite experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yao Yue Palace has well-informed intelligence, especially in collecting information regarding martial arts, studying martial arts from various sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t even heard of this kind of mental method, probably making it even harder for others to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whose mental method is this?” Yun Qiuhua laughed and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling pressed her lips and chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Qiuhua immediately understood, giggled, and said, “Is it that Eighteenth Princess?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan helplessly said, “Elder Yun, this matter must not be spread, she was originally secretive, hiding it from everyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, understood, won’t spread.” Yun Qiuhua giggled, “I didn’t expect this one to be such a formidable hidden character, what a pity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan lightly coughed and said, “Let’s go in first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he took Xiao Ruoling’s jade hand, stepping together into the void of the cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Qiuhua giggled and shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that this Eighteenth Princess is also an unparalleled beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just missing out like this, in the future, he will inevitably regret it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Men are like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wishing to collect all the beauties under heaven, making all beauties their own women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how good Chu Zhiyuan’s qualifications or perception, he cannot eliminate this inherent defect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan and Xiao Ruoling appeared in a dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lush, tall and straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this environment, Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, “Luck isn’t good enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a glance, it was familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been here before, a familiar place, nothing much to explore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems, before exploring a secret land, one must touch Xu Yingying’s luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time there wasn’t enough time to find Xu Yingying, they came directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading to this result now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering a secret land without the blessing of luck is indeed a waste of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling laughed, “Even familiar places, places you’ve been to, also have changes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan raised a sword-like eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling said, “Time in the secret land isn’t the same, and the positions within the secret land are always changing, silently shifting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed some changes and differences around, just over a month had passed, yet it seemed like a year had gone by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference between a month and a year is still significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe it’s because the plants in the secret land grow extremely fast, far exceeding the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground had already sprouted some previously unseen flowers and grasses, becoming more lush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What truly disappointed Chu Zhiyuan was that there would be no demon beast attacks here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling’s identity wouldn’t attract demon beast attacks, and now he was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he came to the secret land to test whether the Glazed Blade Scripture, killing demon beasts would also enhance its spirituality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it only enhanced through killing humans, then the Glazed Blade Scripture was indeed a bit wicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none of the demon beasts here would take the initiative to attack them, and he was also embarrassed to proactively kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Xiao Ruoling didn’t seem to want to leave, he didn’t mention leaving either, wondering what changes familiar places would have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling said, “Is the Eighteenth Prince beautiful enough?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan smiled at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling, dressed in white like snow, otherworldly and unparalleled in beauty, seemed like a fairy descended to the dusty world, beauty not of this mortal realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling looked at him with a half-smile, “How do I compare?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not as beautiful as you,” Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling pressed her lips and laughed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said, “It’s the truth, she is indeed beautiful, comparable to you before practicing Taiyin Great Refining Form, but now, of course, she’s far inferior to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling’s lips curled up as she touched her face, “It’s a pity, she doesn’t want to marry into the Prince Mansion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said, “She has supreme talent, possesses supreme martial arts, and is a Princess of high stature, how could she willingly marry a Princely Heir of Da Jing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling laughed, “In the end, you have grievances.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan laughed helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He always had to explain he held no grievances, but they always projected their thoughts onto him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he had become the victim, abandoned by Cheng Miaozhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t mention that it was his idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter must be kept a closely guarded secret, absolutely not to be known by a fourth person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it leaked out, it would indeed bring great disgrace to the Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the Emperor of Da Jing, appearing even more foolish, as if being toyed with by the Eighteenth Princess of Da Zhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling softly said, “She will regret it in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan laughed, “She won’t regret it; she never intended to marry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I originally didn’t want to marry either,” Xiao Ruoling said, “But later on? The key is to meet that person, then naturally want to marry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before meeting the Princely Heir, she too held the belief of living a solitary life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said, “To her, that person may not have appeared yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a pity, it’s not you, the Princely Heir,” Xiao Ruoling laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan smiled and clasped her jade hand, crystal clear and warm, like mutton fat jade, “Being sent to marry in a foreign land, to a stranger, spending a lifetime together, and forever away from one’s homeland—that kind of sorrow, can an ordinary person bear it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling’s smile faded, and she sighed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she put herself in that position, she immediately felt the horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were she the Eighteenth Princess, it may not have been possible to go as far as she did either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, she saved herself through means, not having to be forced to marry a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?” Chu Zhiyuan suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “A new demon beast has come.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were talking, they were walking out, Chu Zhiyuan remembered every place they passed clearly, every detail vividly presented in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly stopped, seeing a strange beast appearing in a cave not far on the cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like a leopard, yet thinner and smaller than a leopard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it gave Chu Zhiyuan a feeling of danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be careful of what’s inside,” Chu Zhiyuan gestured with his mouth, withdrew his gaze, and whispered, “It’s new, probably took over the territory, once occupied by a white snake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something seems off,” Xiao Ruoling softly said, “The feeling in this area is not right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he focused his gaze, he swiftly reduced his observation range from one kilometer to three hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then sensed the air seems to be filled with a hint of oddity and tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leopard lightly flew out of the cave, soared towards the sky, and actually drifted into the air, diving towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan didn’t see any wings, yet it could glide in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It got faster and faster, like an arrow off the string, shooting towards Chu Zhiyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bright Moon Saber at Chu Zhiyuan’s waist lit up, manifesting a blend of illusory and real blade shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slices through the neck of the leopard lightly, making it sever into two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan stood in place, finely sensing the blade, and eventually shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual nature of the Bright Moon Saber hadn’t changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This means, indeed, the Glazed Blade Scripture is wicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>",1389,"2026-06-03T09:57:58.105Z","2026-06-03T09:58:02.813Z",1,"novelbin.me","7fd20fbbd09f7e7968c29ef08dcc0b095d825b3deff8ac8fab47dbc9fee6fa82","imperial-cultivation-chapter-395","imperial-cultivation-chapter-393",1378,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimperial-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
