Chapter 1064 Ascension
Chu Zhiyuan withdrew his gaze and pondered the path ahead.

He wanted to continue advancing along the cultivation path of the Taiqing Yuanzong sect.

Let's see if we can step into the Spirit Venerable realm, or even go further.

The next target is the Heavenly Origin Technique.

The key to the Heavenly Origin Technique lies in the Ancestral Aperture, deep within the space between the eyebrows, in the depths of the Sea of ​​Spirit; one must open the Heavenly Origin Palace.

To establish the Tianyuan Palace, what is needed is not only the power of the Spirit Abyss, but also one's own spiritual power.

Only by fusing spiritual power with the power of the spiritual abyss, constantly nourishing and impacting it, can one open the ancestral aperture and establish the Heavenly Origin Palace.

He had tried practicing, but found it incredibly difficult.

Even with the spiritual power transferred from Chu Liezhao and Leng Tieya, it was still far from enough.

At this moment, the supernatural powers in one's mind become extremely useful.

Transform the power of faith into spiritual power, a spiritual power that is even purer than one's own spiritual power, thereby giving oneself a helping hand.

He began to understand why the Taiqing Yuanzong sect had so few disciples.

The threshold for spiritual practice is indeed too high.

His own mental strength was already exceptionally strong, and with the help of two clones, he was even more unparalleled.

Despite this, he still couldn't master the Heavenly Origin Technique.

Without supernatural powers, there is no hope whatsoever. It is possible for the two clones to reach the supreme realm and become Spirit Venerables.

One can achieve the supreme realm, attain the status of a spiritual venerable one, but it is unknown when or how many years or months will pass.

The key now lies in supernatural powers and faith.

The stronger the power of faith, the stronger the spiritual power that can be transformed, and the greater the chance of opening the ancestral aperture.

However, the power of faith all originates from the Lesser Outer Heaven, and it has almost reached its limit.

It has been a while since the evil sects were wiped out, and people are forgetful.

As time goes by, people will gradually forget their own achievements, and gradually forget the respect, admiration and gratitude they have for themselves.

The power of faith will gradually weaken.

If you want to strengthen your faith, you should look for a way from beyond the heavens.

After all, the people in the Outer Heaven have stronger spiritual power, stronger faith, and a larger population than those in the Lesser Outer Heaven.

But how can one gain the respect and faith of the people of the outer heavens?

Given the current situation, it is almost impossible for such a situation to exist.

Even a Spirit Lord is not revered by everyone, let alone someone who is not a Spirit Lord.

Xiaotianwaitian
Prince Qing's Mansion

Chu Zhiyuan appeared in his small courtyard and looked up at the sunset in the sky.

The sky was ablaze with the colors of sunset.

The entire world was dyed golden red.

He first played with the Eternal Spirit Tree in the spiritual world, and then came to the back garden and the pavilion on the lake.

Chu Yi and Li Suyue were playing chess, like two twin flowers blooming side by side, complementing each other.

Upon seeing him appear, both women put down their chess pieces and stood up to greet him.

Chu Yi giggled, "Big brother, we've been waiting for you to eat! You're late!"

Li Suyue gave a light bow without saying a word.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Something came up today and I was delayed for a while. You guys continue playing."

Chu Yi took out a gold-embossed invitation from her sleeve and handed it over: "Brother, this was sent to you by the Emperor of Great Meng at noon today."

Chu Zhiyuan took it and glanced at it.

"Brother, what is it?" Chu Yi asked curiously, "Why did the Emperor of Great Meng invite you to be a guest?"

She knew that Chu Zhiyuan and Li Hongzhao had an unusual relationship.

Normally, Li Hongzhao wouldn't need to make such a big deal out of wanting to see Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "He didn't say that, he only said he wanted me to come over and meet him."

Chu Yi asked in surprise, "Has something terrible happened again? Has the evil sect been revived?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head: "It's very difficult for the evil sect to rise from the ashes again."

“That’s not necessarily true,” Chu Yi said. “It’s said that they’ve been eradicated in every generation, but they always reappear. Even though you’re extremely powerful, you might not be able to completely eliminate them.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

Li Suyue said softly, "This new emperor of the Great Mongol Empire has extremely high prestige. According to my master, he is the best among all the emperors of the Great Mongol Empire throughout history."

Chu Yi nodded gently: "I thought she would be ostracized because she is a woman, but she is actually more popular with the people. It's really strange."

Li Suyue said, "Having eradicated the evil sects and quelled the war, it seems that even though the Great Meng is warlike, the people still do not like fighting."

Chu Yi said, "Being able to quell the war is indeed extremely impressive. Even an ordinary emperor couldn't do it."

Li Suyue nodded: "To have absolute control over the army, this Great Mongol emperor is truly remarkable."

It was completely unexpected that a mere Ninth Princess, a woman, could take control of the army in such a short time. Chu Zhiyuan said, "I guess she's about to ascend to immortality."

Chu Yi and Li Suyue were both taken aback.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Perhaps it is the unity of the people that makes the Emperor's Sword more effective and helps her ascend."

"Brother, if she ascends to heaven, won't we never see her again?"

"Ah."

“We must go and see each other properly, alas…” Chu Yi sighed softly, “After this parting, it will be difficult to see each other again.”

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.

I felt that she seemed to be putting on a show of distress.

Li Suyue said softly, "Actually, it's not necessarily true that we won't see him. The young master is also going to ascend to immortality."

Chu Yi glanced at Chu Zhiyuan and gently shook her head: "Big brother can't ascend to immortality with the help of the Emperor's Sword."

She had already heard some of Chu Zhiyuan's speculations and learned some of the mysteries of ascension.

Ascending to heaven with the Emperor's Sword is not the same as going directly to the Outer Heavens.

The Emperor's Sword did not ascend to the Outer Heavens, but to another world.

She felt that Chu Zhiyuan's ability to travel between the Outer Heaven and the Lesser Outer Heaven was initially due to Xiao Ruoling, which was a coincidence.

Therefore, it was concluded that Chu Zhiyuan had no way to go to the world where the Emperor's Sword ascended.

Li Suyue frowned slightly.

She couldn't understand how much cultivation and merit the Crown Prince possessed.

He was the popular choice, yet he couldn't become emperor.

Chu Yi said, "Who knows what my grandfather is thinking?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Forget about that. Let's talk about your cultivation. Are there any obstacles?"

He began to guide the two women in their cultivation.

……

The sun was setting, and twilight was deepening.

The Great Mongol Palace was brightly lit, as bright as day.

The candles illuminated every corner of the palace, leaving no dark or gloomy areas.

This is the decree of the current emperor of the Great Meng Dynasty; no darkness shall be tolerated within the palace.

Inside the Phoenix Palace, Li Hongzhao, dressed in a bright yellow palace gown, lay languidly on the daybed.

She rested her head on her hand, her bright eyes staring blankly at the blazing silver candle with dragon patterns.

The palace maids had all left the palace, leaving her alone, completely relaxed.

At this moment, she no longer possessed the dignity and solemnity she displayed in public during the day; instead, she was languid and relaxed.

After a long day, the fatigue has completely dissipated, and I'm just lazily spacing out – a rare moment of relaxation.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, she turned her head to look to her left and saw Chu Zhiyuan.

She blinked her bright eyes, thinking she was seeing things, and scoffed, "Is it really you?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's me."

Li Hongzhao snorted: "If I don't send you an invitation, you'll forget about me as a friend, won't you?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I'm quite busy too. I'm currently in seclusion cultivating."

Before Li Hongzhao could speak, he found a stool, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.

Li Hongzhao's bright eyes suddenly flashed, her gaze seemingly piercing through Chu Zhiyuan.

He then nodded slightly: "As expected of you. But I'm about to ascend, so you can't catch up with me anymore. I finally won one!"

Chu Zhiyuan took a sip of tea: "So you're about to ascend?"

"We can't delay any longer," Li Hongzhao said.

She then sighed softly: "After becoming emperor, I learned some secrets I had never heard of before, and I learned that the younger one is when one ascends to heaven, the better, as it is more conducive to cultivation in the next level of heaven."

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Which level of heaven will you ascend to?"

Li Hongzhao looked up at the coffered ceiling of the main hall and slowly said, "Biyuan Heaven is where the true body of the Emperor's Sword is located... Let me tell you a secret, the Emperor's Sword I wield and the Emperor's Sword of my grandfather are both projections of the true body of the Emperor's Sword."

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow, listening attentively.

Li Hongzhao said, "We cannot ascend and break free from the shackles of this world by our own strength. The Emperor's Sword can help people ascend by borrowing the power of the Emperor's Sword itself."

“The true Emperor’s Sword…” Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly: “Azure Heaven…”

"Just keep at it. Eventually, you'll find a way to become emperor and ascend to find me using the Emperor's Sword," Li Hongzhao laughed. "But by then, you'll be far behind."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. I'll go to Biyuantian soon."

I wonder what the difference is between Biyuan Heaven and Tianwai Heaven, and whether it would be better for me to cultivate in Tianwai Heaven or Biyuan Heaven.

The prerequisite is to first understand the differences between the two heavens, so we need to go to Biyuan Heaven to take a look.

The opportunity lay with Li Hongzhao.
