Is it a visualization picture?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not a visualization picture,\" Qu Ying said, \"It’s a real blade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan asked, \"Where is this Heavenly Blade?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Somewhere,\" Qu Ying said, \"Only the Sect Master knows where... It’s said to be like the Secret Land, not in this world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan mused, \"Like the White Cloud Sword House?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...In that case, I’ll go have a look.

If he stood outside the Secret Land and sensed danger, he wouldn’t go in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it wasn’t dangerous, then he might as well explore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also curious about the new Secret Land; there should be a lot of good things to discover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he wanted to see the true Heavenly Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might greatly benefit his Bright Moon Saber God and rapidly improve him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" Qu Ying agreed happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She added, \"It won’t delay the Princely Heir from dealing with those Evil Sect demon folk, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll take a break first,\" Chu Zhiyuan smiled, \"They’re lively enough now, fighting among themselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to killing the Evil Sect demon folk, the benefits of the Heavenly Blade were greater, more advantageous for the Bright Moon Saber God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it’s still in the early stage, the brewing phase, the real climax wasn’t here yet, so there was no worry about having no demon folk to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are they all fighting over the Evil Emperor Jade?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s quite a spectacle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it true?\" Qu Ying asked curiously, \"Is there really an Evil Emperor Jade?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan laughed, \"Who knows, it could be real, or it could be fake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anything is possible;

the Princely Heir was young, yet his cultivation was unfathomable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at most, he could last the time of a tea’s brew; it was impossible to endure longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how deep and unfathomable the Princely Heir’s cultivation, he couldn’t match their combined cultivation strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he matched their combined strength, it couldn’t be that much stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s been so long, and he hasn’t returned, leaving only two possibilities: either he didn’t encounter those Strange Beasts, or he’s already had an accident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two Uncles...\" Lu Donghu sighed, \"Be careful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two nodded and were about to head toward the cave entrance when they saw Chu Zhiyuan suddenly appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Princely Heir!\" Qu Ying exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In each of his hands, he held a palm-sized little cat, pure white, fluffy, and very cute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing them, Qu Ying couldn’t resist the urge to touch them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped forward, reaching out her hand, \"So cute...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan sidestepped her jade hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ying’s jade hand hung mid-air, looking at him puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said, \"Better not touch them, they are still dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ying stared at the two little cats in wonder, \"Are they it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Princely Heir, are these them?!\" Lu Donghu said in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said, \"Their speed is extremely fast, and they can conceal their presence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly let go of his grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two little cats vanished, and in the next moment, Chu Zhiyuan reached by his ear, gently grasping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, the two little cats appeared in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They twisted and struggled, their claws flashing with cold glints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, they stopped and quieted down, their eyes rolling as they observed their surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Donghu looked at Qu Qianbi and Liu Ruixiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Qianbi and Liu Ruixiang exchanged a glance and slowly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they hadn’t clearly seen the Demon Beast that attacked them, the speed and sudden appearance felt very similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they were close, there was still nothing to sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>```\u003C\u002Fp>",1435,"2026-06-03T09:58:18.416Z","2026-06-03T09:58:16.817Z",1,"novelbin.me","c8d68b578500b2b911708e7930f3b1042537c7c8b858e6d31323fa767325f870","imperial-cultivation-chapter-510","imperial-cultivation-chapter-508",1378,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimperial-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
