much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the spiritual materials concerning the soul were extremely precious to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vaguely felt that in future cultivation, the key would be the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the realm of a Great Grandmaster, every moment during the breakthrough nourishes and revitalizes the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such revitalization and nourishment, when reaching the extreme, can counteract the harm of Yin Energy on the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Yang Energy is consumed, the transformed Yin Energy will not harm the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say, there is neither illness nor disaster, nor aging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the realm of truly having an unbreakable body, a Vajra Unbreakable body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But being Vajra Unbreakable, having an immortal body, does not mean being immortal, perpetually watching the passage of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body is driven by the soul, the soul is the source of motivation for the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how good the body is, perfect and without aging, once the source of motivation is gone, the body ceases to operate, which is death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the exhaustion of lifespan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After achieving an unbreakable body, the next step is to pursue an indestructible soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that future cultivation would start from spiritual power, thereby reaching the soul, and further touching the Yuan Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Innate Primordial Yang is the foundation of lifelong longevity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This type of soul-nourishing spiritual medicine is not highly valued by people yet because it is too advanced, and many cannot sense the changes after consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has Super Sense, and after consuming that golden flower, he clearly felt some changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these changes were subtle, they ultimately strengthened the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, with the benefit to the soul, Spiritual Energy naturally became purer and more profound, and the time needed for breaking through was shortened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a miraculous medicine must not be missed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure flickered, a phantom flitting through the woods, flying towards the opposite cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two spiritual cats flew off his shoulders, gracefully tracing shadows in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With two spiritual cats around, many Demon Beasts directly avoided and did not come to harass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan emitted his own aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rising sun appeared in the void above his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was called the rising sun, it looked like a blazing sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature around his body seemed much higher than other areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a span of ten feet, one could feel the scorching sensation of the blazing sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With both the spiritual cats and the rising sun, together they formed an inexplicable deterrent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deterrence of a Great Grandmaster alone was not enough, as many Demon Beasts in this Secret Land did not fear a Great Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the little Golden Snakes hiding in the soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These little Golden Snakes did not have the same ferocity as other snakes, their entire bodies glistened like yellow jade, round-headed and brainy, looking somewhat adorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around their necks were rings of black, the smaller ones had one or two rings, the larger ones had six or seven rings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan could clearly sense the difference in their strength, the more rings they had, the stronger their power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden Snakes with four rings or more gave him a sense of danger and could kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides Golden Snakes, there was a Strange Beast lying in a cave, which made him feel even more dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Strange Beast resembled a panda, with a small and chubby body, its fur golden, shimmering with golden light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked very cute, yet it gave him an even more dangerous feeling than those black-ringed Golden Snakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, it stayed in its cave without intentions of coming out, sleeping soundly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan only intended to lighten his steps to avoid waking it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Secret Land shares a characteristic with the Secret Land of Yao Yue Palace—smaller, cuter Demon Beasts tend to have higher danger levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In comparison, while the danger level of spiritual cats was also high, they were just restrained by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved silently and swiftly atop the treetops, quickly reaching the opposite cliff, crossing the peak lightly, avoiding two Demon Beasts, and arriving at the shady side of the cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He floated down halfway up the mountain, picked several fruits, and then two Red Fruits effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going further down, until reaching the dark moss, he found a golden flower, as if cast from gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the dim light, it still shone brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no Demon Beasts guarding this golden flower, evidently not considered too rare for this Secret Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Red Fruits, one golden flower, he felt it was a good harvest, and continued to float forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, he mainly searched for golden flowers, picking up Red Fruits if he encountered them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking thirty miles forward, he suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a grave expression, he scanned the surroundings, feeling a strong warning of danger in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he retreated, retracing his steps, his figure light and graceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Super Sensing Illumination, he elegantly avoided a series of strong Demon Beasts, finally stopping at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he saw through his insight two Demon Beasts similar to apes fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever they went, whether trees or stones, everything crumbled into dust, flying around, everything in their path shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two apes seemed to have copper bodies and iron bones, unharmed, only the surroundings were unlucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their movements were fast and fierce, just seeing them from afar made Chu Zhiyuan feel the danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of their slaps, likely, would break through the Spiritual Energy protection, and the physical body would be unable to withstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon Transformation Technique granted him immense strength and a strong body, yet he couldn’t withstand them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan felt somewhat indignant, using insight to observe their muscles and aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Discovered that their bones appeared silver, muscles black, their density several times his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite having practiced the Dragon Transformation Technique, he was still far inferior to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this talent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but click his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, seeing them rampage recklessly, they should be considered among the top Demon Beasts in this Secret Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt the impulse but ultimately restrained his urge and suppressed his aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching them charge elsewhere, ignoring himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sense of danger dissipated, Chu Zhiyuan walked forward with insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking fifty miles or so, he stopped again, floated backward, and retreated entirely from the Secret Land in one breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had picked nine golden flowers in total, a huge harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun set in the west, the remnants of its light shining on Yujing City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Qing Mansion\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan, in his inner garment, sat quietly on the bed in the Listening Pavilion, taking out a golden flower from his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this golden flower, he couldn’t help but recall the scene right after leaving the Secret Land, handing those few fruits to Lu Donghu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Donghu received a dozen or so fruits, his expression solemn, clasping fists to thank him once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan recounted the events in the Secret Land, mentioning the two monkeys that fought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Encountering them, even a Grandmaster could rely on intuition to evade, a master wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Donghu solemnly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said no more, directly taking his leave, thus repaying the favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head, putting aside matters of the Flying Sky Sect, and turned his attention to the golden flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he swallowed it whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, his mouth filled with fragrance, a cold aroma penetrated his five viscera and six bowels, then went up along his spine, passing through the Jade Pillow, and drilled into the void of his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gained insight into the mind’s void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw a misty cloud of Golden Qi like a cloud floating upwards, rising higher and higher, floating towards the distant horizon where the soul resided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His whole body exuded a refreshing sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if immersed in a cold spring, his mind was instantly clear and transparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world seemed brighter, his link with heaven and earth tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew this meant his soul had strengthened a bit, and the Spiritual Energy also became more profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the two small Sword Gangs became stronger and purer, more destructive to the Golden Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan smiled, then took out another golden flower to consume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally consumed all nine golden flowers he had gathered, although the effects weakened slightly towards the end, they remained significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that within half a month, he would break through the first layer of the Golden Tower and step into the Second Layer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began practicing the Thunderbolt Saber Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thunderbolt Saber Technique had a trace of connection with the Void-cutting Saber Technique he had seen, having practiced the Void-cutting Saber Technique, he didn’t feel unfamiliar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this Thunderbolt Saber Technique was indeed an ancient inheritance, differing from current methodologies.\u003C\u002Fp>",1493,"2026-06-03T09:58:18.416Z","2026-06-03T09:58:16.817Z",1,"novelbin.me","bf0a2525564eaeb6bdbc4c9d2003522cc17d1c745980fad7f5d9565515ba5e25","imperial-cultivation-chapter-519","imperial-cultivation-chapter-517",1378,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimperial-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
