Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 445 - 442: Kunlun

```html

Chu Qingfeng smiled, "If not for a unique Secret Technique, how could there possibly be so many Grandmasters emerging?"

Chu Zhiyuan’s smile widened, "What is this miraculous method?"

He had already suspected as much.

Because the rate of Great Grandmasters emerging within the Da Jing Royal Family was too high, far exceeding any sect.

Even though the Four Great Sects or the Four Great Demon Sects have many Great Grandmasters,

those were the achievements of numerous prodigies and geniuses over time.

Yet how many Princely Heirs, Princes, or Royals does the Da Jing Royal Family have?

The chance of their achieving Grandmaster status was worlds apart.

Either the Purple Sun Scripture was so mysterious that it increased the success rate of achieving Great Grandmaster status, or there is another special Secret Technique.

Chu Qingfeng said, "The Kunlun Visualization Map."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Don’t you have to become a Great Grandmaster before you can practice the visualization map?"

"This map is different," Chu Qingfeng shook his head, "As long as you can practice this map, you can see the gate to Great Grandmaster status."

Chu Zhiyuan was amazed, "This could be called a true Miracle Technique."

Nobody in the world knows how to find the gate to Great Grandmaster status, unable to find the path to becoming a Great Grandmaster.

Like himself, even after achieving Grandmaster Perfection, he was at a loss.

There are further practices after the Purple Sun Scripture, but they can only be practiced after becoming a Great Grandmaster.

Practicing it now is useless, following the subsequent Operating methods yields no advancement in cultivation.

The Grandmaster Technique cannot enable one to step into Great Grandmaster status.

There is no Miracle Method in the world that, once practiced, will make the gate to Great Grandmaster status appear.

Clearly, this conclusion is incorrect.

There truly is such a Miracle Method in the world.

And it resides within the Da Jing Royal Family.

The Imperial Family is indeed the Imperial Family!

Chu Qingfeng said, "This map is not passed down to anyone other than direct descendants of Da Jing blood."

Chu Zhiyuan solemnly nodded.

This is only natural.

Chu Qingfeng said, "Even those with superior insight and exceptional talent may not be able to practice this map."

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.

This is also natural, otherwise all the Princes and Princely Heirs of Da Jing would have become Great Grandmasters.

"Actually, this map isn’t that miraculous," Chu Qingfeng said, "For those capable of achieving Great Grandmaster, it can allow for early achievement, but for those who can’t, it still won’t enable them to succeed."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Uncle, there’s no need to say more, where is the Visualization Map?"

"Why the rush?" Chu Qingfeng said, "There are some things that need to be explained clearly."

Chu Zhiyuan hurriedly said, "Hurry, speak quickly."

"This map carries risks," Chu Qingfeng said, "It is particularly prone to causing illusions."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Uncle, you will be on the side to protect me, right?"

"I will protect you, but you must also rely on yourself," Chu Qingfeng sighed, "I suggest you go to Yao Yue Palace first, and then practice this map when you return."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Because the murderous aura is too intense?"

"Exactly," Chu Qingfeng said, "You’ve killed so many people; once you visualize this map, it’s easy to fall into an Illusion Realm and even be backfired."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Did Uncle X practice this visualization as well?"

"He never managed to succeed," Chu Qingfeng shook his head, "He could not become a Great Grandmaster."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned, "He truly can’t achieve Great Grandmaster?"

"He stayed on the frontier for too long, spent too long in the military, and his Mental State is thoroughly twisted," Chu Qingfeng sighed, "Once he started visualizing, he fell into an Illusion Realm, unable to practice this map and... unable to advance to Great Grandmaster."

Chu Zhiyuan was astonished.

He never expected that Chu Mingrui truly couldn’t achieve Great Grandmaster.

This meant he couldn’t become Emperor.

Could it be that the imperial throne was destined to be his?

It came so easily.

Initially, he thought there would be a battle for the throne, but in the end, there was no need for it, no obstacles whatsoever.

"Happy to hear this news?" Chu Qingfeng snorted, "Do you think you’re guaranteed to become Emperor?"

"In front of Uncle, I won’t lie," Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Who else could threaten me?"

"The Emperor’s Sword itself," Chu Qingfeng said, "Even if you become a Great Grandmaster, the greatest challenge is the Emperor’s Sword itself. If it does not recognize you as the master, you will not become Emperor."

"I see..." Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

Chu Qingfeng said, "The Emperor’s Sword is extremely discerning; it may not necessarily recognize anyone as its master."

"If it doesn’t recognize me as master, and there’s no other Great Grandmaster in this generation?"

"Then it will be postponed to the next generation."

"...And if there’s still no Great Grandmaster in the next generation?"

Chu Qingfeng snorted, "Then our Chu Family of Da Jing is not far from losing the empire."

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded, "Understood... I will do my best."

"You carry a heavy burden, especially this generation; it seems like all the talent has gone to you, standing out alone while the others are lacking."

"Uncle, please don’t speak of this to others."

"Even with your talent, it’s not certain you can practice the Kunlun Visualization Map. Follow me."

——

The two appeared in a lavish underground palace and saw a visualization map placed on a screen in the palace.

This visualization map was about one square meter, its colors faded, not very clear.

It had a classic and antique appearance, yellowed with age, exuding an aura of the ancient past.

The map depicted a mountain, its peak covered in white snow, midsection in yellow and green, and the foothills lush with vegetation.

Just an ordinary snowy mountain.

Chu Qingfeng slowly said, "This map was passed down from ancient times. In that era, it was merely a visualization map of a small sect."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Which sect?"

"Yuchuan Sect."

"...Never heard of it."

"Such sects were as common as carps crossing the river, not even recorded."

"This was the Great Ancestor’s fortuitous encounter when he entered a Cave Mansion and acquired this map, discovering its miraculous use."

Chu Zhiyuan sighed, "The Great Ancestor truly was blessed with fortune."

"Indeed," Chu Qingfeng agreed, "Without luck that reached the heavens, establishing our Da Jing would not have been possible."

Looking at the accomplishments of the Great Ancestor, the greatest realization people have is his extraordinarily good fortune.

Many things, without fortune, simply could not have succeeded, yet they did.

The founding of the Da Jing Dynasty was indeed the result of fortune beyond measure.

This Kunlun Visualization Map is a prime example.

Without the Kunlun Visualization Map, the Chu Family might have toppled from ruling Da Jing long ago.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "How do you practice this?"

"Watch, then close your eyes and visualize, keeping on watching and endlessly visualizing, until thoroughly memorized."

"When you can clearly visualize it in your mind, you will see the gate to Great Grandmaster status."

"That simple?" Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

"Simple?" Chu Qingfeng laughed, "Try practicing before you decide if it’s simple or not."

Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes, finding his mind blurry, indistinct, unable to see clearly.

He frowned, suddenly thought of Feng Wen, and the patterns inside the Qingying Sword.

Compared to the complete blank when trying to visualize Feng Wen, this Kunlun Visualization Map was slightly better, at least having a faint blurry shadow.

He opened his eyes and took a closer look.

Super Sense was activated, and the Insight penetrated this map.

The map appeared ordinary yet was drawn on a kind of exotic beast hide.

It had weathered through ages and was now tattered, on the verge of disintegration into ashes.

This is why it’s placed here.

The underground palace’s temperature and humidity were perfect for storing items.

Chu Zhiyuan turned his head, "Uncle, is there a copy of this visualization map? This map is about to become unusable."

Chu Qingfeng showed a solemn expression, "There are copies, but the effect is different."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Let me make a copy."

"You’ll have to practice it first," Chu Qingfeng shook his head, "If you haven’t practiced, you can’t copy it."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

He closed his eyes, and the originally blurry image gradually became clearer.

He felt dissatisfied.

Despite the Insight being exceedingly clear, it should be engraved in his mind, yet once he tried to visualize, it turned blurry.

Seeing it clearly made no difference.
