Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 1117 - 1113: Token

After dealing with these demons, the two continued on their journey together, floating forward.

Chu Zhiyuan pulled out the token from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Xiaolu: "Senior Sister, what mysteries does this token hold?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Lu Xiaolu took the token, snorted, and said, "There’s nothing subtle about it, just making an unnecessary fuss."

Chu Zhiyuan was puzzled.

Lu Xiaolu said, "Three years ago, Senior Sister Chu had a chance encounter at a site of ruins and obtained this token."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Lu Xiaolu continued, "At first glance, the material of this token is quite special and looks incredibly fine, it doesn’t seem to be ordinary, it must contain some mystery."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

This token indeed appears very impressive, clearly not a common item.

Super Sense had already perceived its interior with mysterious patterns.

These patterns were different from any divine inscriptions and other patterns he had seen, they are of a very unfamiliar kind.

This greatly increased his interest.

Lu Xiaolu snorted, "Yet after we’ve researched it for quite some time, we’ve gained nothing. It’s just a facade, nothing extraordinary about it."

"But its lustrous sheen suggests it isn’t common."

"It’s just a matter of special material. It’s not something seen before." Lu Xiaolu shook her head, "But apart from being hard, it has no other advantages."

"Isn’t that already a great advantage?" Chu Zhiyuan laughed.

The density of this token’s material is higher than that of gold, silver, or iron, comparable to some treasure swords.

Such an exceedingly hard item is where its value lies, whether used for making flying knives or protective treasure mirrors, it’s extremely valuable.

"But it should hold other mysteries." Lu Xiaolu shook her head, "That site of ruins was very peculiar."

"What was peculiar?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.

Lu Xiaolu shook her head, "We couldn’t enter it. The token should be the key to open the site of ruins, but it didn’t work."

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Could it be that we need two tokens or more?"

"We’ve thought about that, but couldn’t find another token, there was only this one." Lu Xiaolu said, "Anyway, all efforts were in vain."

She tossed the token back to Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan took it and examined it, holding it up to the sunlight.

Lu Xiaolu shook her head, "We’ve also tried using light on it."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "You’ve tried everything?"

"Tried everything, but nothing worked." Lu Xiaolu said, "Anyway, it’s just a beautiful piece of waste."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded and put it away: "I’ll keep trying. Where is the site of ruins?"

Lu Xiaolu said, "Over two hundred miles from here, in a valley."

Chu Zhiyuan’s eyebrows raised.

Lu Xiaolu smiled, "Want to take a look?"

"...Let’s wait. After sorting out Qinglian Sea, we can head there." Chu Zhiyuan said.

The primary task now is eliminating Qinglian Sea, with no time to waste.

He knows the Guanghan Palace experts are anxious, wanting to be ahead of the Three Sects.

At this moment, he certainly wouldn’t drag the Guanghan Palace down, instead, he wants to lend them a hand.

Helping Guanghan Palace gains more benefits than delaying them.

If he aids the Three Sects by delaying Guanghan Palace, more experts will compete with him for demons.

Demons in the world can’t be completely eliminated, technically there’s no rush, but he feels urgent.

By killing more demons, he can quickly break through the ancestral acupoint, thereby accelerating the cultivation speed of the Heavenly Sword Secret Scripture.

A quick step leads to all steps being quick.

So now he aligns with Guanghan Palace’s interests, which is to precede the Three Sects in exterminating Qinglian Sea.

Now that he’s at the forefront, he can kill the most demons.

"Really not going to look?" Lu Xiaolu teased.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "If the Palace Master knew you were tempting me like this, you’d be punished."

Lu Xiaolu gave him a sidelong glance.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Senior Sister Qi is behind us."

"Alright, let’s first eliminate Qinglian Sea." Lu Xiaolu said, "You’re so dull."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed lightly.

If he were to be interesting, Senior Sister Qi Qingmei would soon catch up and scold him.

He might not be able to be the vanguard.

Lu Xiaolu said, "If you discover the mysteries within this, make sure to tell me."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "After clearing Qinglian Sea, shall we go to the site together? How could I keep any benefits to myself."

"Sure." Lu Xiaolu readily agreed.

As they spoke, they maintained their high-speed sprint, sweeping past patches of forest.

Later, Chu Zhiyuan’s flying knives didn’t return to his sleeve, but followed him, flying together in formation to protect him.

Lu Xiaolu looked on enviously.

The Demon Suppressing Saber was too convenient, too dazzling, the swordsmanship seemed clumsy in comparison, requiring personal handling.

Whereas Chu Zhiyuan didn’t even have to act himself, he could simply watch and dispatch the demons.

They quickly endured three batches of demon ambushes.

One was not an ambush but a coincidental encounter.

Chu Zhiyuan was unbothered, the flying knives directly surged forward to dispatch them.

Whether ordinary demons or formidable ones, before the Demon Suppressing Saber, they were almost indistinguishable.

Only those with advanced cultivation could dodge a few times, costing a bit of time, but the outcome was the same.

They sprinted for a thousand miles without any pause.

During their rapid flight, the twenty flying knives settled the demons ahead, preventing any obstruction.

Lu Xiaolu’s eyes sparkled, almost wanting to scream out in amazement and excitement.

As they sprinted, Chu Zhiyuan’s expression suddenly changed.

The twenty flying knives floated above, and he grasped the Jade Heaven Sword, poised to strike at any moment.

He faintly felt another great demon watching them, making him cautious.

He had a fervent desire to master the Heavenly Yuan Technique, hoping to unlock the ancestral acupoint and possibly elevate the Super Sense.

After enhancing Super Sense, perhaps the great demon wouldn’t be invisible.

The prowess of a great demon lies in its ability to conceal its presence, blending with the world, undetectable by sight, and sensed only subtly.

His acute perception allowed him to sense its presence indistinctly, but he couldn’t delve further.

This made him extremely uncomfortable, driving him eagerly to master the Heavenly Yuan Technique.

Seeing his stance, Lu Xiaolu immediately realized a great demon was near.

She had faith in Chu Zhiyuan’s intuition and whispered, "Should we wait a bit?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "We can only wait a bit, ...we can’t handle a great demon."

"Senior Sister can handle it." Lu Xiaolu snorted, "See if these great demons dare approach, come to court death!"

They halted atop a mountain peak, standing against the wind.

The setting sun cast its remaining rays across the mountain, and a gentle evening breeze brought the dusk slowly.

The scene was beautiful, yet the two had no intention of appreciating it.

Lu Xiaolu was slightly anxious, frequently turning her head, snorting, "Senior Sister and her group are too slow!"

Chu Zhiyuan was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed.

"Hey!"

He abruptly shouted, swiftly drew the Jade Heaven Sword, his gaze like cold lightning, gently swinging the sword.

This swing seemed casual, as if merely playacting.

Lu Xiaolu hadn’t sensed anything unusual.

Yet, where this sword passed, the void faintly showed a crack, as if splitting the void.

A strong wind howled immediately, with invisible gang qi seemingly emanating from deep below, cold and penetrating.

She shivered involuntarily, widening her bright eyes.

She saw Chu Zhiyuan’s Little Jade Sword slashing open the heart of a shadow, blood burst forth, spilling across the sky.

Her eyes widened further, seeing the figure was a mouse demon.

But unlike common mouse demons, this one had silver fur, its body shimmering with silver light.

Its heart was sliced open, and the mouse demon let out a sharp screech, attempting to flee.

But soon it was split in two, one half escaping, the other half remaining.

A few flying knives enveloped the demon, and the next moment, golden flames surged.

Amidst screams, a silver elixir pill dropped, caught by a flying knife and brought before Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan picked it up, examined it closely, and put it in his sleeve.

He turned to see Lu Xiaolu staring at him blankly and smiled, "A great demon."
