Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 1175 - 1171: Engraving

An hour later, Huang Zhengyang finally lowered his head and stopped staring at the sky.

His smile gradually widened until his face was full of joy: "Haha, congratulations Mr. Chu, you’ve succeeded gloriously!"

Chu Zhiyuan handed the Golden Sword to Huang Zhengyang and smiled, "It’s because of this."

Huang Zhengyang took the Golden Sword, and suddenly his hand sank, pressed down an inch.

He made a sound of surprise, staring at this Golden Sword.

With his cultivation now, it’s almost impossible for something so heavy to be hard for him to hold.

This Golden Sword seemed not heavy, yet unexpectedly heavy, weighing at least a thousand pounds.

This was somewhat strange, almost impossibly heavy, beyond standards and common sense.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "This is formed by gathering all those gold dust."

"That much gold dust?"

"More than imagined." Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "How about this sword?"

After a brief swing, Huang Zhengyang felt the weight growing, heavier and heavier, almost slipping from his grip.

"Good sword." He praised, hurriedly returning the sword to Chu Zhiyuan.

This sword was excellent, just too heavy, not suitable for himself.

Chu Zhiyuan took it back, elegantly swinging it in two circles, smiling: "Good sword."

The sword in his hand moved as fluently as his own fingers, a perfect blend of lightness and heft.

The heavy longsword could be easily mastered with just a lightweight touch.

He was all smiles.

With time, this sword might achieve Spirit Communication.

Its unique material even surpassed the Jade Heaven Sword he held.

Although the Jade Heaven Sword had been refined, it was less versatile compared to this sword.

If refined using the Glazed Blade Scripture, this sword might soon develop spiritual essence.

By then, transforming into his own clone, it would be more than just a weapon but an assistant.

Its power would be even more astonishing.

Moreover, the sword’s indestructible nature was even more significant.

Huang Zhengyang said, "Mr. Chu, is there no lingering threat from this sword?"

Chu Zhiyuan swung the Golden Sword, smiling: "I have completed its refinement."

Huang Zhengyang brightened up: "That means the Evil Venerable can no longer descend?"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "Unless he can take this sword back, how about its ownership, being mine?"

"Of course it’s yours," Huang Zhengyang replied without hesitation.

Setting aside its excessive weight, even light, it’s trouble.

Holding it only brings endless trouble; passing it to Chu Zhiyuan is best.

The Evil Extermination Department has the power to suppress evil, and the Heavenly Sword Sect has the same ability.

Bringing it back to the Heavenly Sword Sect is better than leaving it at the Evil Extermination Department.

Chu Zhiyuan cupped his fists, "Thank you, Director."

Huang Zhengyang waved his hand: "It was originally yours, and rightly so, in fact, I should thank you."

"Having this sword is enough." Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

He couldn’t put it down, feeling it fit even better than the Shadowless Divine Sword.

However, the Shadowless Divine Sword possessed the unique ability to conceal its aura and couldn’t be discarded.

If this sword had the Shadowless Divine Sword’s trait, it would be ideal.

He thought he might give it a try.

The Shadowless Divine Sword’s uniqueness came from its internal mysterious patterns; he could try reproducing them within the Golden Sword.

The Golden Sword’s material was extraordinary, rock-solid to others, indestructible.

Yet to him, it could be shaped at will, transforming effortlessly.

Engraving some patterns would be effortless for this sword.

He only hesitated for the presence of Huang Zhengyang and others, so did not act for the moment.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Director, what kind of Evil Venerable is it?"

"I’ll go back and investigate thoroughly." Huang Zhengyang said solemnly: "I fear this isn’t an isolated case."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded seriously.

Is there just this one, or possibly a second, even a third or fourth?

Might other undiscovered Evil Venerable statues appear in the world?

This Evil Venerable clearly surpassed the original, posing a greater threat.

However, now without any news, the current matters must take precedence.

Chu Zhiyuan cupped his fists and smiled: "Director, I’ll take my leave then."

"Mr. Chu, please." Huang Zhengyang said seriously: "But do intend to slaughter your way through?"

Chu Zhiyuan lightly shook the Golden Sword, his expression firm: "Evil demons must be exterminated by all!"

"...Alright then, I’ll leave it to you, Mr. Chu." Huang Zhengyang helplessly agreed.

Having assisted greatly, stopping him from defeating demons for merit is indeed inappropriate.

Only to accept it with reluctance.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, cupping his fists, and gracefully left, disappearing instantly before everyone’s eyes.

Twelve young men watched him curiously, fixed on his Golden Sword.

Someone curiously asked Yu Xiang who exactly Chu Zhiyuan was.

Yu Xiang snorted and repeated Chu Zhiyuan’s name.

They were unconcerned.

In the eyes of others, the Four Great Sects hold a transcendent status, with disciples all geniuses, strong in cultivation, surely the top experts under heaven.

But in their eyes, it’s just so.

Once they set up the array, its power is astonishing, rare in the world, even the disciples of the Four Great Sects are powerless to escape.

Yu Xiang snorted: "Your array cannot trap Mr. Chu."

"..."

The twelve of them were surprisingly speechless.

Earlier, Chu Zhiyuan entered and exited the array freely as if it were an uninhabited place.

They activated the array, absolutely not intentionally slowing down to let him in and out.

But they could not stop his entry and exit.

"Alright, this Mr. Chu is extraordinary, show some respect in the future."

"...Yes." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

...

Chu Zhiyuan returned to the branch and began writing a letter, recording the matter of the Evil Venerable Statue he had seen, then took out a small silver whistle from his sleeve.

He blew it gently, but the silver whistle did not make a sound.

Chu Zhiyuan put it back into his sleeve.

Moments later, a black dot appeared in the sky, and in the next moment, it swooped down onto Chu Zhiyuan’s shoulder.

It was a Silver Sparrow.

The whole body silver, like cast from silver, with only a pair of eyes flashing spirit light, black and bright, like two black gems in mercury.

Chu Zhiyuan reached out to stroke its forehead, opened the small copper tube under its claw, rolled up the letter he wrote and stuffed it inside.

Then patted its wing.

The Silver Sparrow instantly shot into the sky, soared straight up, and disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a sigh.

His clearance now has greatly increased, allowing him to communicate directly with the Sect Leader through the Silver Sparrow, no longer needing to go through the branch’s Dean, Gu Junqi.

...

The sunset had completely descended, dusk enveloped the land.

The Heavenly Sword Branch became noisy.

Yet Chu Zhiyuan’s small courtyard remained tranquil.

He sat on the bed inside, holding the Golden Sword in his hands, ready to begin engraving the strange patterns.

These patterns were intricate, but fortunately, he could multitask.

He placed the Shadowless Divine Sword next to him and held the Golden Sword in his hands, starting a transcription-style recording.

The Golden Sword began to emit a gentle white light, just like the shards of the statue once did, no different.

The gentle white light seemed like autumn water soaking the Golden Sword within.

The gentle light of the Golden Sword grew brighter, its exterior unchanged, but inside rapidly formed a series of fine patterns.

These patterns were exactly like those inside the Shadowless Divine Sword, as if carved from the same mold.

After a quarter of an hour, the gentle light of the Golden Sword suddenly retracted back into the sword.

The Golden Sword began to change color.

The original golden yellow began to shift towards dimness, growing fainter, eventually turning into a white sword.

Pure white like carved from mutton fat jade.

Chu Zhiyuan examined the sword with curiosity.

Unexpectedly, this sword has undergone such a tremendous transformation.

Why did the golden color completely fade, turning into such an almost pure hue?

He floated up, the sword light moved.

Silent, as if in water, and the sword light almost invisible.

The effect of this sword now surpasses that of the Shadowless Divine Sword!

The smile on his face grew increasingly broad.

He stopped and stood with the sword, then thought for a moment, taking out the Jade Heaven Sword.

Contemplating whether to engrave the Jade Heaven Sword as well.

Before achieving the first layer of the Heavenly Yuan Technique, he could not see inside the Jade Heaven Sword.

But once the Heavenly Yuan Technique was accomplished, with the Super Sensory Evolution, he could see inside the Jade Heaven Sword.

The patterns inside the Jade Heaven Sword are vastly different in style from those inside the Shadowless Divine Sword.

Inside it is Divine Language.

Some are the Divine Language of the Emperor’s Sword from before, and a few are not.

To others, Divine Language is nearly untouchable, impossible to discern.

For those not aware of Divine Language, it cannot be recognized or seen clearly.

If in a past life, those unfamiliar with Arabic or Chinese, what they saw were mere lines.

But Divine Language goes further, even beyond clear visibility.

He knows Divine Language, so naturally can recognize and see these Divine Texts.

If the Golden Sword could engrave the Divine Language inside the Jade Heaven Sword upon itself, what would be the consequence?

Could it aid his understanding of the Heavenly Sword?
