content has changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who subscribed yesterday morning, please refresh and take a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Mingxuan couldn’t help but hum, “What Da Zhen can’t achieve, we in Da Jing may well succeed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This comment drew a glance from Chu Qingquan, with a faint trace of helplessness in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others fear the Emperor, but he doesn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued, “How will we know unless we try?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if we fail, it’s not embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Da Zhen couldn’t tame it either!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nineteen Prince next to him quickly tugged at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else looked over, their gazes gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could hear a pin drop in the grand hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Mingxuan looked toward Prince Ying at the two tables ahead and said, “Tenth Brother, why don’t you give it a try!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Ying was a handsome middle-aged man, looking cultured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s hard to imagine he’s the renowned general who could scare children into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He arrived with the Da Zhen Mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after arriving in Yujing, the Da Zhen Mission made a grand entrance into the city, while he quietly returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for this imperial banquet, he would still remain incognito, unknown to the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Ying, Chu Mingrui, glanced at him obliquely, “Eighteenth Brother, have I offended you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Mingxuan retorted defiantly, “It’s just two horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they possibly remain untamed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two horses are not demon beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon beasts can only be killed, not tamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even though these two horses are magnificent, from their appearance you can tell they are mostly horses, and only partly resemble demon beasts, so they can be tamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Zhen just hasn’t found a way yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Da Zhen can’t do it, why must it mean Da Jing can’t?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these princes, princely heirs, and dukes present, isn’t there one who can do it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really, it doesn’t matter if it can’t be done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s thick-skinned and doesn’t feel embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Da Zhen couldn’t achieve, if Da Jing can’t either, there’s no disgrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what if Da Jing can do it, then it would put Da Zhen to shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there’s a chance to embarrass Da Zhen, how could we let it pass?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha…” Prince Ying, Cheng Yilong, clapped and laughed heartily, “Is this the Eighteenth Prince?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly outstanding bravado!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that Chu Mingxuan matched his own temperament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even daring to try, out of fear of embarrassment, truly lacks courage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a hall full of princes, princely heirs, and dukes, only this prince dared, truly illustrating if Da Jing has declined; it’s regrettable and pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Mingxuan chuckled, “Then I’ll give it a try first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t afraid of losing face, so there’s no harm in trying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke as he was about to stand up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Eighteenth!” Prince Ying, Chu Mingrui, sternly commanded, “Don’t move!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Mingxuan looked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Mingrui snorted, “You’re not even Innate, going up there would be sending yourself to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two horses possess immense strength and could easily take your life!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…That strong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truly ignorant and fearless!” Chu Mingrui said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Mingxuan plopped back into his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to look at the seemingly daydreaming Chu Zhiyuan, opened his mouth, and then closed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the danger, he decided not to let his Fourth Brother attempt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Fourth Brother needed to preserve his energy, as he still had to face Da Zhen’s Cheng Tianfeng in a duel later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Brother, let me give it a try.” Minister of Rites, Prince Zhuang, Chu Qingsong stood up, clasping his fists, “I find these two horses quite charming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s worth a try,” Chu Qingquan nodded, “Sixteenth Brother, don’t push too hard and don’t harm them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Qingsong had achieved Grandmaster Perfection, and in his youth was a genius in cultivation, mastering numerous martial arts and Miracle Techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he fails, then only a Great Grandmaster would suffice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.” Chu Qingsong solemnly clasped his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly walked to the center of the grand hall, gazing at the two horses in the iron cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Tianfeng waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two strongmen stepped forward, inserting two long keys into a basin-sized round lock, with a “click” they opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their muscles bulged as they forcefully pulled open the iron cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The iron cage split apart, and the two Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses slowly stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like golden silk, their tails swayed gently as they elegantly approached Chu Qingsong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Tianfeng sat down with a slight smile, looking at Chu Zhiyuan, who had been sitting opposite him, not even glancing at Chu Qingsong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was certain success was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses were designed as Tribute horses, not meant for riding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proud as dragons, they would rather die than submit or tame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their inherent pride was dragon-like, impossible to subdue under human command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a Great Grandmaster attempting would yield the same result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Great Grandmaster could only repel them, subdue them momentarily, but never tame them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary horses naturally become obedient after being subdued by force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using this method with the Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses is utterly ineffective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Great Grandmaster tried this method once, continuously subduing them for a month without any success, eventually resulting in starvation to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After losing three Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses, the entire Da Zhen Imperial Family understood their nature, genuinely proud and unyielding as dragons, never to be tamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Da Jing people, who fall short of Da Zhen, tame them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Qingsong slowly approached the one on the left, it was taller, a stallion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could tame it, he’d be able to tame the other as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly leaped onto its back, attempting to ride it and subdue it by force, making it immobilized, until it exhausted and gave up resistance, ultimately taming it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t really have faith in this method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were truly that simple, Da Zhen would have tamed them long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it needed a try, just in case Da Zhen was lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If foolishly believing what the Da Zhen princely heir said, that would truly be stupidity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!” Suddenly, Chu Qingsong flew out, crashing into the carved dragon red pillar inside the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vivid red pillar with twin dragons playing with a pearl, thick enough for two people to embrace, shuddered from his impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Qingsong spat blood, sliding down limply, “bang”, to the polished gold-brick floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hoofprint was clearly visible on his chest, the area slightly sunken in, indicating the astonishing power of that kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hiss—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Mingxuan inhaled sharply, empathizing with the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hiss—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chorus of gasps echoed through the grand hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Zhuang, a Grandmaster Perfection for many years, boasting highly refined Protective Gang Qi, couldn’t endure a single hoof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were him, that hoof would likely be fatal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Savage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deceptive appearance of these two Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses, with their eyes full of spirit and elegance, showed no trace of ferocity, yet their kicks were so brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the hall turned wide-eyed towards Chu Qingsong’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan paid no mind, continuing to absorb the Flying Dragon Bone, feeling his skeleton rapidly strengthen, with a faint golden glow emerging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A eunuch quickly stepped forward, taking a Spirit Pill from his sleeve, and fed it to Chu Qingsong, who, after taking it, coughed twice, blood welling up again in his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spit out two mouthfuls of blood, but his spirits improved somewhat as he stood up, leaning against the vermilion dragon pillar, examining the Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horse, which had dealt the kick, calmly observed him, displaying curiosity, seemingly wanting to determine the extent of his injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Qingsong touched his chest and shook his head helplessly, returning to his original seat, cupping his hands, “I have failed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Qingquan said, “Sixteenth Brother, sit down and rest well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m ashamed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supported by two people at his side, Chu Qingsong slowly sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others pondered whether they could avoid that hoof, sudden and swift as it was, impossible to defend against; most doubted they could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, there was no need to go up and embarrass themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Qingsong turned to Chu Qingfeng beside him, whispering, “Thirteenth Brother, it must be you now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Grandmaster Perfection, he was unsuccessful, so only a Great Grandmaster could try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Qingfeng stood up, clasping his fists, “Elder Brother, let me try as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Mingxuan, Chu Zhitian, and Chu Zhichuan excitedly clapped, eagerly anticipating Chu Qingfeng suppressing the two Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan also looked up, as a Great Grandmaster taking action was worth witnessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Qingquan said, “Thirteenth Brother, don’t harm them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.” Chu Qingfeng nodded, stepping towards the two Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two horses maintained their serenity and elegance, not fleeing, but looking curiously at Chu Qingfeng as he approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chu Qingfeng approached, his green robe gradually inflated, his eyes began to glow, eventually turning into white orbs, obscuring his pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the grand hall felt breathing become difficult, as if the air was being drawn away, or a mountain-like force was pressing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the might of a Great Grandmaster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had heard of a Great Grandmaster’s power, cleaving mountains and splitting seas, destroying a mountain or a forest with a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now able to witness firsthand, they were all thrilled and excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through Super Sense, Chu Zhiyuan saw Chu Qingfeng’s head crowned with a brightening purple sun, making the visualization more vivid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses lightly pawed the ground, emitting two soft neighs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound was light yet intensely penetrating like a dragon’s roar, causing everyone’s hearts to beat violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies suddenly brightened, gleaming with golden light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horse’s hissing grew louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, everyone experienced ringing ears, blurred vision, heart pounding like a drum, blood seemingly boiling, only seeing golden light before them, nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom, boom, boom, boom…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muffled sound thundered like explosions, hurting their eardrums.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each felt nauseous and distressed, eager to turn and flee from the grand hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time seemed to flow particularly slowly, each moment dragged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough.” Chu Qingfeng suddenly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swiftly retreated, green robe fluttering, frowning at the two Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two horses trembled slightly, on the verge of collapsing, yet maintained elevated heads, bright eyes brimming with unyielding light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They suddenly turned their heads simultaneously, looking towards Chu Zhiyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>",1747,"2026-06-03T09:57:57.826Z","2026-06-03T09:58:02.811Z",1,"novelbin.me","687c66cbb302e0e3061e4989cfe3fc391b76913c3c3f6456b6add79c231a6fe7","imperial-cultivation-chapter-77","imperial-cultivation-chapter-75",1378,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimperial-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
