with the Outer Heaven Power and the disciples of the Evil Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he looked at this silver statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver was full of texture, not too bright, exuding a sense of understated luxury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Super Sense, it was a larger container of faith, connecting with more followers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the black statue was dead, the Silver Venerable Image was alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a living thing, it was spying on him, observing the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan found it extremely uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he simply placed it in the sunlight and used Super Sense to spy on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To see who could spy more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Super Sense, he saw it constantly collecting power, gathering strange forces from red lines coming from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan was secretly analyzing the nature of this power and how to contain it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fundamental force of the Demon Heart Sect was naturally the Outer Heaven Power, but there were too many types of Outer Heaven Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were tyrannical, some gentle, some fiery, and some bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he found that there wasn’t any that was moderate and peaceful, as if moderation couldn’t survive in the outer world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew that wasn’t the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that these Outer Heaven Powers were not of any proper path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A proper path wouldn’t descend in this way, wouldn’t cultivate and strengthen oneself like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples of the Evil Sect thought the statue was aiding their cultivation, but in fact, they were aiding the statue’s cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statue aided them so that it could draw more power from them, including essence blood and souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like how a pig must be fattened before slaughtering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan tried to attack using Spiritual Power, but a stream of Spiritual Power disappeared silently upon reaching the silver statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual Power was ineffective against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan then tried to attack with the Bright Moon Saber God and found it effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver statue flickered continuously, like a faulty lamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bright Moon Saber God was rapidly growing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the silver statue quickly dimmed, its power rapidly waned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan felt no excitement; instead, a faint anger flared in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of this silver statue was clearly akin to souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whose souls were they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious, not only those of the Evil Sect disciples, but also those who died after having their essence blood devoured by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This silver statue was immeasurably evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He solemnly continued to activate the Bright Moon Saber God repeatedly, each time weakening the silver statue a bit more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until he felt that any further weakening could break the red lines on the silver statue, he stopped the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statue became dimmer, the texture less strong, thinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The probing sensation from it was nearly gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan stared at the statue, nodding slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bright Moon Saber God was indeed extraordinary, capable of dealing with Outer Heaven Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this was just weakened Outer Heaven Power; only a true test would reveal the true nature of Outer Heaven Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least now there was some confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bright moon hung high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Yue Manor\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the brightly lit courtyard, Xiao Ruoling was browsing through documents in a small pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Hanyue was practicing sword training on the Martial Arts Training Ground outside the pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her white clothes were like snow, her steps light, the shadows of her sword clear and sharp, like a cold waterfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moonlight from the sky seemed to fall on the sword light, dyeing it with frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frost Moon Sword Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely the sword technique she was cultivating, utilizing the power of moonlight, extremely pure, with incredible power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling suddenly turned her head and saw Chu Zhiyuan already standing inside the pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled, \"So late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you going to rest?\" Chu Zhiyuan, dressed in a purple robe, his face as white as jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have to wait a bit more.\" Xiao Ruoling smiled, getting up to make him tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, \"Let’s go for a walk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just follow me,\" Chu Zhiyuan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, \"Alright, and Shen...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’ll practice her sword while we go for a walk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling called out to Shen Hanyue and then floated away from the courtyard with Chu Zhiyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they reached the front of the manor, they found two Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses waiting there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They pawed the ground lightly, snorting with impatience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Chu Zhiyuan and Xiao Ruoling, the two horses immediately looked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their large eyes, shining with spirit light, were full of urgency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling had become accustomed to their spirituality and patted their foreheads with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan wrapped an arm around her, flying onto one of the horses’ backs, and immediately two golden lights shot out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling sat in Chu Zhiyuan’s embrace, leaning against him with a smile, \"Where are we going, not back to Yao Yue Peak, are we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said, \"Just going for a ride, to slay some Evil Sect demons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do we need the Venerable statue to search?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sounds good.\" Xiao Ruoling gently nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past few days, the Evil Sect demons had become fewer and fewer, traces scarce, yet even one of them was dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoroughly screening was no bad thing, it was an immense merit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she hadn’t expected Chu Zhiyuan’s screening range to be so wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses nearly ran all night, changing horses every hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two horses often fed on a pile of Demon Crystals, yet remained tireless, running more vigorously, visibly growing more formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan’s spirit also grew stronger, without any signs of fatigue from the overnight rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling didn’t see too many corpses, but she knew that every time Chu Zhiyuan changed direction, it inevitably cost the lives of some Evil Sect experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan often took out the Silver Venerable Image or other black statues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time and again, he had the Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses change direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red lines connected to the Silver Venerable Image grew fewer and fewer, and eventually, only some fine red lines remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distance was too great, temporarily out of reach, so they had to wait to get closer to Yujing to execute them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red lines on a multitude of black Venerable statues also rapidly decreased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to slaying Evil Sect experts, some were not on the red lines of the Venerable statues, he also exterminated them when he saw them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At dawn, when Xiao Ruoling woke up, she found herself already in the small pavilion of the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly turned around and saw she was lying in Chu Zhiyuan’s embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan was sitting by the Luohan bed of the pavilion, holding a scroll, slowly browsing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt as if she’d had a deep sleep, looking radiant, and sheepishly got up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan released her and smiled, \"Tired, aren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I actually fell asleep.\" Xiao Ruoling said, embarrassed, \"You should have woken me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being in Chu Zhiyuan’s arms was too comfortable. Initially, she was looking at the scenery, but she unknowingly fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan smiled, \"I saw you sleeping soundly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine, I can go days and nights without sleeping if needed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those Evil Sect demons...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten thousand of them are dead.\" Chu Zhiyuan smiled, \"The results of tonight were remarkable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the night’s journey, they harvested abundantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A total of nearly ten thousand Evil Sect disciples were slain, a number so large it astonished him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With ten thousand Evil Sect disciples killed, the Bright Moon Saber God grew considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that the Sealing God Realm had advanced to one-third completion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that to bring the Sealing God Realm to Perfection, at least thirty thousand Evil Sect disciples and a few great grandmasters were needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the ten thousand Evil Sect experts who died that night, there were three great grandmasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calculating it, the number of great grandmasters in the Evil Sect had already exceeded that of the Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This increased his determination to eradicate the Evil Sect, he couldn’t tolerate their continued existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for this act of furious extermination, allowing the Evil Sect to continue growing, it could indeed threaten the rule of Da Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten thousand...\" Xiao Ruoling clicked her tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan sighed, \"The Evil Sect is so powerful, truly terrifying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ruoling said, \"No matter how terrifying, it’s almost wiped out by you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The road is long and arduous.\" Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the red lines on the Venerable statues, at least half of the Evil Sect disciples remained.\u003C\u002Fp>",1451,"2026-06-03T09:58:18.416Z","2026-06-03T09:58:16.817Z",1,"novelbin.me","27f3b2a0244872261afff04a026f52018ee09eee5f5d6c5916d61cb437e6c4b6","imperial-cultivation-chapter-504","imperial-cultivation-chapter-502",1378,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimperial-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
