pleasing to the eyes if kept by one’s side, yet they were eaten by other animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those animals that ate them were in turn eaten by others, each level preying upon the next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rules of the world are cruel and stern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He insightfully observed the life and death of these animals, feeling an inexplicable compassion in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He formed seals with his hands, while visualizing those bizarre patterns in his mind, lightly chanting strange sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A layer of golden light surged forth, enveloping his whole body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his hands finished forming the seals and gently came together, a golden light immediately flashed, condensing into a golden net that drifted into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden net expanded rapidly as it drifted away, growing three times larger in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its luster dimmed, almost blending into the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance was an animal similar to an ape, more delicate and small than an ape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eyes gleamed with spirit light, rolling around incessantly, exuding a cunning appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden net silently and effortlessly trapped it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan pondered thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the appearance of this Spiritual Ape, it evidently hadn’t seen the golden net.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the Spiritual Ape looked very cute, the malicious killing intent in its heart sent chills through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how cute it was, Chu Zhiyuan couldn’t afford to be soft-hearted; naturally, it had to be killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once trapped by the golden net, the Spiritual Ape instantly couldn’t move, and only its eyes could still roll around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through Super Sensing Insight, the Spiritual Ape’s blood flow around its body slowed down tremendously, just allowing it to maintain basic life, unable to exert any force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan sensed a change in the golden net, wondering if it was due to his Mental State aligning, indicating entry into the Entering Intent Realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden net in the Entering Intent Realm was more concealed, with the effect of immobilization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quietly observed the Spiritual Ape, seeing it immobilized for a quarter of an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quarter of an hour passed, the golden net seemed to dissipate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spiritual Ape screeched and dashed off, its killing intent now vanished without a trace, leaving only fear and the urge to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan didn’t pursue it, carefully sensing the Entering Intent level Great Demon Suppressing Seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Demon Suppressing Seal indeed was worthy of being a First-Grade Martial Art, its power truly astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of that Spiritual Ape was extraordinarily fast; if it truly got close, he would be in mortal danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crux was that the Great Demon Suppressing Seal was actually a long-range attack, far surpassing the Great Brightness Fist in distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His interest in the Great Demon Suppressing Seal grew, as he pondered over it in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His curiosity about the Divine Language also deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, curiosity was useless, since even the Royal Family’s library had no Divine Language records, indicating that it had indeed become a lost legacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the Divine Language, the Great Demon Suppressing Seal could hardly be further refined, difficult to reach a higher level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time slowly passed; after resting for a bit, he continued on his way, avoiding animals and beasts along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As dawn approached, he suddenly stopped, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before entering Yujing Cave Heaven, his fifth uncle, Chu Hongming, had mentioned that they entered from different portals and wouldn’t meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He speculated that Yujing Cave Heaven was large enough to be divided into several areas; in three days, it was impossible to span different regions, only enough to traverse their current zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What puzzled him was, what about the Heavenly Person Peak?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could there be more than the one Heavenly Person Peak, each within their respective regions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, it proved Chu Hongming’s words wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw, eighteen li away, a handsome young man walking slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This handsome young man had an average build, extremely pale skin with not a hint of blood color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hair had a slight yellowish tinge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were emerald green, shining like gemstones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gait was elegant and calm, like a king inspecting his territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing, Chu Zhiyuan immediately knew, this was a member of the Demon Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biggest difference between the Demon Clan and humans is the eye pupil, with not much other difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Clan is divided into nine grades, with the First Grade being the Heavenly Demon Clan, featuring extremely pale skin and emerald green pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ninth Grade is the Ghost Demon Clan, featuring slightly brown skin and white pupils, whereas the whites of their eyes are black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looks very peculiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From high to low grades, the skin color deepens, and the pupil color also deepens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan’s heart grew wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the Demon Clan comes from their bloodline, with their mental method and martial skill both inherited through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Clan has the strongest spirit, often continuing their existence for tens of thousands of years through body seizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, those who seize bodies are often limited by their new bodies, unable to inherit their original cultivation and must cultivate anew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When dealing with such a Heavenly Demon, a dimensional reduction attack is necessary, countering a Transformation Realm Heavenly Demon with a Divinity Transformation Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Clan and Demon Clan, like humans, also adopt the Four Realms and Thirty-Six Transitions Cultivation System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except each has a unique cultivation method, with the Demon Clan possessing strong spirituality, and the Demon Clan having strong physical bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding dealing with the Demon Clan, there is only one word: kill.\u003C\u002Fp>",1452,"2026-06-03T09:58:19.351Z","2026-06-03T09:58:26.265Z",1,"novelbin.me","7dae7d88e009a121d48ea1c9cb6d74cbef1d15f38e27f7ce5ab7ffb057e5e974","imperial-cultivation-chapter-652","imperial-cultivation-chapter-650",1378,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimperial-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
