CHAPTER 854: CHAPTER 850: WRAPPING UP

He vanished in a flash and then reappeared, his expression solemn.

Lan Mingxuan and Wu Xun were smiling broadly when they noticed his pause and looked over in confusion.

Both of them knew this was impossible.

After all, he was the Prince Consort and a Prince of Yujing, it was impossible for him to sacrifice himself for the Candle Nether Mirror.

They said these words only to evoke his sympathy and dispel his aversion towards Fengtian Palace.

Even if he obtained the Spiritual Treasure, it could not cover up the fact that he had been forced into the Spirit Communication Pavilion.

Inevitably, resentment would arise.

They also wanted him to understand the hardships and sacrifices of Fengtian Palace, to feel sympathy and respect.

Chu Zhiyuan stopped in his tracks, his sword-like eyebrows furrowing.

He was taken aback.

His speed had suddenly doubled.

If not for his quick reaction, he might have crashed into the nearby ancient trees.

Never expected that with no significant progress in the Spiritual Abyss Body Cleansing Record and only a transition in the Infinite Brightness Scripture, his speed could increase so dramatically.

Suddenly, it was doubled.

Originally, his speed was already astonishing, and now, after doubling, it far surpassed the realm of Qinggong.

The reason for the substantial speed increase wasn’t an elevation in his realm.

It was the Swift Light Sword.

As expected of a Spiritual Treasure, even without expending Spiritual Power, it could double its owner’s speed.

This was the subtle use of the Spiritual Treasure itself, achieving it without needing to consume Spiritual Power.

Of course, it consumed his own strength.

But without it, no matter how much strength was consumed, the speed couldn’t reach this level.

"Prince Consort?" Wu Xun asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

Both of them had already floated to Chu Zhiyuan’s side.

Chu Zhiyuan turned and looked at them, saying slowly, "Can I come to the Spirit Communication Pavilion again?"

"This..." The two hesitated immediately.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "To kill another batch of the Demon Clan and Demon Clan?"

Lan Mingxuan said, "The Prince Consort probably won’t be able to enter the Spirit Communication Pavilion again."

Chu Zhiyuan’s sword-like eyebrows rose.

Wu Xun said, "The Prince Consort, you’ve acquired a Spiritual Treasure and reached your body’s limits; otherwise, the Spirit Communication Pavilion wouldn’t have sent you out."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "My body will only get stronger."

"Prince Consort, one Spiritual Treasure is already a heavy burden on your body, and if there are two..." Wu Xun advised, "The burden would not only be unbeneficial but damaging, especially during combat when the impact is profound."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "What if I don’t consider these things?"

Lan Mingxuan said in a deep voice, "According to your contributions, Prince Consort, you can enter the Spirit Communication Pavilion again."

"How many times?"

"Once."

"Very good." Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Then I’ll return in the future."

It seems the benefits of killing the Demon Clan and Demon Clan are indeed substantial, not only gaining Soul Power and Demon Crystals but also access to the Spirit Communication Pavilion.

The Spirit Communication Pavilion not only houses Spiritual Treasures but also offers the chance to understand the wonders of heaven and earth.

Without entering the Spirit Communication Pavilion, who knows when I’ll step into the Third Transition?

"Prince Consort..." Wu Xun wanted to persuade further.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, "Gentlemen, we’ll meet again, farewell!"

He flashed and disappeared again.

"What a fast movement technique!"

Wu Xun exclaimed in admiration.

"It must be the subtle use of the Swift Light Sword."

Lan Mingxuan stared in envy at the direction in which Chu Zhiyuan disappeared.

Among the disciples of Fengtian Palace, only three possess Spiritual Treasures, yet this Prince Consort also has one.

His luck is truly astonishing.

"We don’t have such luck!" Wu Xun shook his head, "Senior Brother Lan, are you envious?"

"Who wouldn’t be envious?" Lan Mingxuan lamented, "What a pity."

"Pity what?"

"Pity he is a Prince of Yujing, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise, we could invite him to Fengtian Palace as a tribute."

"Indeed a pity!"

Wu Xun slowly nodded.

Possessing a Spiritual Treasure and being a Venerable, if he were not a Prince of Yujing, he would certainly become a tribute of Fengtian Palace.

What a pity indeed.

——

When Chu Zhiyuan returned to the Prince Consort Mansion, the entire residence was in an uproar.

Li Miaotan personally led the people to welcome him.

She wore a bright yellow Luo robe, her exquisitely beautiful face adorned with a smile, her eyes glowing brightly as she fixed them on Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan cheerfully stepped forward, gazing at Li Miaotan, holding her jade-white hand, "Madam, you’ve gotten thinner."

Li Miaotan blushed and said, "I’m alright, didn’t suffer much."

She then said, "Over there..."

"Let’s talk inside." Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said.

Surrounded by others, the two of them walked to his small courtyard and sat down at the stone table in the small pavilion.

You Lan, Fu Zheng, Li Yuchun, and Li Yuzhen stood by to attend.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Madam, how come you returned so fast?"

Li Miaotan gently shook her head, "Tired and wanting to rest."

Chu Zhiyuan then asked about her experience at the Outer Realm Battlefield, very curious.

Actually, he already knew everything from the memories of the Flying Knife.

The Outer Realm Battlefield was actually very tedious, vast and boundless, with an ever-changing terrain.

It was a strange place, a place beyond imagination.

Space and time would warp; the Spiritual Energy was exceptionally abundant, and there would also be some strange things, even Cave Mansions.

"Did Madam have any fortuitous encounters?"

"There was one, consuming a Strange Grass."

"Oh—?" Chu Zhiyuan was curious and smiled, "What is its subtle use?"

Through the Flying Knife, he had already seen the Strange Grass.

Crystal-clear and as if cast from ice and snow, it grew on a pitch-black rock, standing steadfast against the wind.

It emitted a strange fragrance, surrounded by the Demon Clan and Demon Clan eagerly watching, ready to snatch it at any moment.

Li Miaotan, however, took it first, swallowing it whole because she recognized it as Moon Zhi Grass.

It has the wonder of Ice Skin Jade Skin, capable of altering constitution and enhancing bloodline.

Even though the Phoenix Bloodline had already been activated, consuming this grass could still enhance the purity of the Phoenix Bloodline.

This was crucial for her.

So she took the risk, not expecting to successfully snatch this Strange Grass.

Li Miaotan first explained the subtle use of the Moon Zhi Grass, then recounted the incident.

"If I hadn’t fought with you, my husband, against the Demon Clan, and seen that situation, I wouldn’t have dared to snatch it and wouldn’t have thought I could get it."

Under normal circumstances, the Demon Clan and Demon Clan would not gather together, just as humans wouldn’t.

Only with treasures like the Spiritual Rhinoceros Pearl could they sense and locate each other.

Otherwise, it’s scarce to encounter one another.

The Moon Zhi Grass had a strong allure, gathering a group of the Demon Clan and the Demon Clan.

There were more than thirty from the Demon Clan and over twenty from the Demon Clan.

If it weren’t for fighting the Demon Clan with Chu Zhiyuan, on seeing so many of the Demon Clan and Demon Clan, she would have just backed off without daring to linger.

Her experience of battling the Demon Clan with Chu Zhiyuan lessened her dread of the Demon Clan.

So, taking advantage of when the Demon Clan and Demon Clan began fighting each other, she boldly snatched the Moon Zhi Grass, swallowed it immediately, then fled.

Though chased by the Demon Clan and Demon Clan, she managed to return.

Upon hearing of her experience, Chu Zhiyuan was filled with admiration and praise.

He then rose, "Madam, I’ll clear out those pursuers now!"

Li Miaotan quickly said, "Just have the Court send experts over."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "These are the ones you provoked, Madam; let’s not have the Court clean up, I’ll go."

"... Let’s go together." Li Miaotan stood up with him.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Then let us join hands to destroy these guys! Still dare to pursue, gave them the courage!"

The two walked out, followed by Fu Zheng and Li Yuzhen, while You Lan and Li Yuchun stayed behind.

Just as they stepped out of the gate of the Prince Consort Mansion, they saw the Third Prince coming their way.

The Third Prince, Li Chunhou, looked at Chu Zhiyuan in surprise, then at Li Miaotan.

Li Miaotan and Chu Zhiyuan approached him, and upon hearing that they were heading outside the city to sweep away the Demon Clan and Demon Clan, Li Chunhou became very enthusiastic and joined them.

Li Miaotan hesitated, but Chu Zhiyuan readily agreed.

He was also curious to witness Li Chunhou’s skills.
