head with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ying is indeed lively and quick-witted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Donghu and the others are not bad either, as they actually listened to her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At such an age, people tend to be stubborn and not listen to others, especially the young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was curious about the Thunderbolt Saber Technique because of the space where the Heavenly Blade was located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that space, could he put the Flying Knife or the Bright Moon Saber in there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Flying Knife and Bright Moon Saber could be placed inside and continuously strengthened, they might even draw the Outer Heaven Power into the blade, enhancing its power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vaguely felt that this might be the key for the Sword God to advance further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These thoughts appeared as a flash of inspiration, and the decision to view the Thunderbolt Saber Technique was made on the spur of the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems there’s no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, I have to thank Qu Ying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed the right choice to bring her along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding ding ding ding...\" The clear ringing was incessant as four flying knives continued their entanglement with two mystical cats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of clear shadows flew out from his sleeve, and four flying knives appeared above his head once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed to come to life, eagerly staring at the two mystical cats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they swiftly shot over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding ding ding ding...\" A denser chorus of clear rings sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mystical cats were repeatedly struck by the knives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though their fur was resilient, they were still in unbearable pain, letting out whimpering sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan’s heart was as hard as iron, unfazed, and all eight flying knives attacked simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whimpering grew increasingly tragic, but it couldn’t shake Chu Zhiyuan’s resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, they suddenly stopped crying, going limp as if dead, dropping straight to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan ignored them, and the eight flying knives continued their assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ee—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ee—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they were about to hit the ground, they flickered and soared into the air again, their calls filled with anger, as if accusing him of having a stone heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes, focusing internally, observing the changes in his body caused by the light emitted from the Golden Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing the effects of the Dragon Transformation Technique operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effects of the Yin Yang Return to Void Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effects of the Yin Yang Return to Void Technique and the Golden Tower seemed similar yet had subtle differences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light from the Golden Tower affected only the flesh, while the Yin Yang Return to Void Technique seemed to also work on the spirit and soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He increasingly realized that the longevity effects of the Yin Yang Return to Void Technique were incredibly amazing, exceeding even that of the Great Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Practicing the Yin Yang Return to Void Technique, even without reaching the Grandmaster Realm, grants greater longevity than a Great Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, not everyone can master the Yin Yang Return to Void Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding ding ding ding...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ee ee ee ee...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two different sounds lingered in his ears, both gradually fading away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He constantly observed the changes in the mystical cats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clear ring suddenly ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eight flying knives hovered in midair, slowly floating above Chu Zhiyuan’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two mystical cats were suspended mid-air, treading in the air as if walking on solid ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They glared angrily at Chu Zhiyuan but did not flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that they hadn’t tried escaping, but they weren’t fast enough to outpace the flying knives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes and approached them with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They retreated higher, maintaining a distance from Chu Zhiyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head, reaching out to begin casting the Spirit Summoning Talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, he sensed two emotions of anger and sadness intertwined with a fragile sense of helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, when using the Spirit Summoning Talisman on animals, one can indeed hear their inner voices, establishing a mental connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is completely different from using the Spirit Summoning Talisman on the Demon Crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the Spirit Summoning Talisman on animals can establish a mental link.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He expressed goodwill while letting the aura of the Dragon Transformation Technique flow from his palm, slowly approaching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two mystical cats curiously watched him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their green eyes reflected doubt and curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidently, they were surprised by the emergence of friendliness and softness in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan placed a hand on each mystical cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura of the Dragon Transformation Technique was a great supplement for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While puzzled, they were also drawn by the aura of the Dragon Transformation Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, they were touched by Chu Zhiyuan, and the aura of the Dragon Transformation Technique flowed into their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They immediately tensed, kicking away with all four legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan continued to release goodwill but did not grab tightly, allowing them to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They kept a distance of about one zhang from Chu Zhiyuan, tilting their heads to look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they possessed notable intelligence, it was animal instinct, and their minds were only equivalent to that of a three-year-old child, not even as developed as the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan’s goodwill intrigued them, while the aura of the Dragon Transformation Technique was irresistible, so they were once again touched by Chu Zhiyuan, who started to stroke their fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they were stroked, the aura of the Dragon Transformation Technique was infused into them, quickly making them purr contentedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan chuckled silently; even for demon beasts, some habits remain the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Qu Ying arrived at the small courtyard, she saw the cats perched on Chu Zhiyuan’s shoulders, warily staring at her, ready to attack at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ying blinked her bright eyes: \"Your Royal Highness, these are...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, they have been tamed by me.\" Chu Zhiyuan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I touch them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They don’t let outsiders touch them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh...\" Qu Ying was disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said, \"Their habit is to fear the scent of a certain strange fruit. When entering the Secret Land, apply the juice of this fruit, and they will avoid you, not attacking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ying was overjoyed and quickly expressed her thanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, took out a painting from his sleeve, and handed it to her: \"This is the strange fruit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The painting depicted a peculiar flower cluster, with chains of fruits hanging from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were as large as longans, with a slightly purple hue, tinged with a hint of yellow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of fruit is easy to identify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Royal Highness, please look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ying then took out an ancient, elegant long box from her sleeve, opening it to reveal a scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Fang stepped forward and unfurled the scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a long scroll, nearly ten meters long when opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The painting depicted individuals wielding swords, striking various poses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan looked at Qu Ying: \"It’s actually the sword technique from before Da Jing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed so.\" Qu Ying said, \"The Thunderbolt Saber Technique is an ancient legacy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan nodded: \"To have mastered the ancient legacy, your sect’s ancestor was truly a genius.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ying smiled and said, \"I heard that Your Royal Highness has also mastered some ancient legacies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan nodded: \"I’ve mastered a few techniques.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ying clicked her tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To have mastered several ancient legacies, no wonder he’s so formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then smiled and said, \"Then Your Royal Highness could try practicing the Thunderbolt Saber Technique; maybe you can actually master it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said, \"If I do master it, Sect Master Lu won’t be able to sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could that be?\" Qu Ying said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ying immediately understood Chu Zhiyuan’s meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mastering the Thunderbolt Saber Technique would indeed cause the Sect Master to lose sleep, for fear of losing the Heavenly Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After mastering the Thunderbolt Saber Technique, one might be able to seize the Heavenly Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by wielding the Heavenly Blade and practicing the Thunderbolt Saber Technique can its power be fully realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes, already committing the Thunderbolt Saber Technique to memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then opened his eyes: \"Rest assured, Sect Master Lu, I will not seize the Heavenly Blade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Ying smiled: \"The Sect Master will be very pleased to hear this news.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since I have started, I’ll go all the way... I’ll head back to Yujing first, and return in a couple of days to enter the Secret Land and help you gather some of these strange fruits.\" Chu Zhiyuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Repay kindness with kindness, repay kindness with gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since I’ve benefited from the Flying Sky Sect, I should give something back and not take undue advantage just because I am the Princely Heir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flying Sky Sect’s Secret Land has many treasures, after all, it is a newly developed Secret Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might as well take the opportunity to explore it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before that, I need to head back to Yujing to soak up some of Xu Yingying’s luck before returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That would be wonderful!\" Qu Ying was overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>```\u003C\u002Fp>",1555,"2026-06-03T09:58:18.416Z","2026-06-03T09:58:16.817Z",1,"novelbin.me","7c783cd6bdd2ace6e8d60a1152447ac18227cf152056a6940b8056677d67007f","imperial-cultivation-chapter-516","imperial-cultivation-chapter-514",1378,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimperial-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
