Chapter 1091 Ambush
Chu Zhiyuan discovered a cultivation method from the Heavenly Sword Secret Scripture.

Visualization method.

He discovered that he didn't need to constantly practice the sword techniques of the Heavenly Sword Manual; he could mobilize his true energy simply by practicing the sword in his mind.

It was a sudden inspiration that came to him, and the idea unexpectedly worked extremely well.

He then realized that this method was not unique, and the Heavenly Sword Sect should have known about it long ago.

Why wasn't it stated?

He quickly realized the reason: the mental strength required was too high.

His mental strength far surpasses that of most people in the world, and he has extensive experience in meditation and contemplation.

That's why this method can be used; other disciples of Tianjian Peak cannot do it.

He discovered that with this cultivation method, the circulation of true essence was incredibly fast, several times faster than before.

He was already mentally strong, and his physique had been tempered by the Spirit Abyss to be far superior to that of ordinary people. Moreover, he had the Spirit Abyss Qi from the Yongquan and Laogong acupoints to supply him continuously. At this time, when he practiced the Heavenly Sword Secret Scripture, it was like a strong person being reborn and starting to cultivate again. It was truly a natural process, and his progress was extremely fast.

The true essence within the dantian was rapidly changing color.

The third, fourth, and even fifth turns were reached very quickly.

His clothes billowed up again, then deflated; this was the fifth turn.

"The fifth transformation?" Lu Xiaolu's bright eyes widened again.

Chu Zhiyuan remained silent, continuing to immerse himself in meditation and practice.

Lu Xiaolu shook her head repeatedly.

Qi Qingmei turned her head and glanced at her: "Don't make a fuss, you look so ignorant."

"Aren't you surprised, Senior Sister?" Lu Xiaolu asked, unconvinced.

Qi Qingmei said, "He may have taken a elixir or some other precious medicine."

Lu Xiaolu was taken aback and quickly asked, "The Heavenly Sword Sect's Heavenly Treasure Pill?"

"Well, it's possible."

"That's a pity." Lu Xiaolu shook her head: "Taking the Heavenly Treasure Pill can quickly improve one's Qi Transformation Realm, but it's very difficult to step into the Venerable Realm."

She turned her head to look at Chu Zhiyuan, who was still focused on his cultivation with his eyes closed, and shook her head, saying, "He's gone astray."

"Perhaps there are other considerations," Qi Qingmei said. "Don't meddle in other people's business."

“…Yes.” Lu Xiaolu reluctantly agreed.

Qi Qingmei glanced at her, knowing that Lu Xiaolu couldn't control her enthusiasm and would still say more.

Sure enough, when they stopped at the top of a mountain to rest for a while, as soon as Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes, Lu Xiaolu told him about the dangers of the Heavenly Treasure Pill.

This is a short-sighted approach and is really inappropriate. Rapid progress in the Qi Transformation Realm will only weaken the foundation, making it impossible to break through to the Venerable Realm.

The best approach is to be honest and take it one step at a time.

Although the initial stages are slow, this allows for the establishment of a solid foundation, ultimately leading to a breakthrough to the Venerable level.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded repeatedly and thanked him with a smile.

He knew Lu Xiaolu meant well, but he wasn't going to explain further.

He then closed his eyes and sat on a large blue stone to continue his meditation.

Seeing him like this, Lu Xiaolu shook her head repeatedly, her face full of regret.

After continuing on their journey for half an hour, Chu Zhiyuan suddenly opened his eyes: "Senior Sister Lu, there is an ambush ahead."

Lu Xiaolu hurriedly asked: "Evil demon?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "There should be quite a few demons in that forest."

He raised his left hand and pointed to the lush, sprawling forest stretching for miles in the distance.

The mountains in this area are not particularly majestic and are not obscured by white clouds, but they are surrounded by dense forests and lush vegetation, full of life.

However, for the experts in the Moon Palace, such an environment makes it difficult to conceal their presence.

After all, they are all revered figures.

But the group of demons in the distance were able to conceal their aura and not release it at all.

If it weren't for extrasensory perception, one might not have been able to detect it based solely on its demonic aura.

Lu Xiaolu hurriedly said, "Senior Sister!"

Qi Qingmei naturally heard these words, and the other eleven experts from Guanghan Palace also heard them clearly.

Qi Qingmei said, "Then let's stop."

She stopped, and the other twelve women followed suit, landing on the mountaintop below.

"Senior sister, should we go around it?" Lu Xiaolu asked.

Qi Qingmei nodded slowly.

Lu Xiaolu asked, "Should we go around from the left or the right?"

She looked at Chu Zhiyuan as she spoke.

Chu Zhiyuan was quite surprised by their decision; they chose to bypass them instead of turning the tables on them.

Qi Qingmei said, "Since they dared to ambush us, they must be quite strong and have the confidence to do so. Even if we win, we will have wasted time. Time is of the essence now. The elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect should be teetering on the brink of collapse and may not be able to hold on at any moment."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded solemnly: "Yes."

That's right. The key now is to get to Qinglian Sea as soon as possible.

Lu Xiaolu asked, "Then which way should we go?"

Chu Zhiyuan looked into the distance and pointed to the left: "There's no demonic aura here." Through his supernatural senses, he could see thirty figures crouching on tree branches in a forest ten miles away.

They were all leopard-headed and human-bodied, their bodies seemingly blending seamlessly with the surrounding forest, their aura imperceptible.

Chu Zhiyuan then realized that these were leopard demons.

Based on his encounters with these evil spirits, he made a deduction: Biyuan Heaven is a world of monsters, where animals have become demons.

In the Lesser Outer Heaven and the Outer Heaven, these animals are merely demonic beasts and pose no real threat.

Here, however, they became demons, stronger than in the other two worlds.

What's the mystery behind this?
“Then let’s go this way,” Qi Qingmei said.

They drifted away in the direction Chu Zhiyuan pointed, getting further and further away from the lurking leopard demons.

Lu Xiaolu said, "Senior sister, how about I sneak over and take a look?"

Qi Qingmei glanced at her.

Lu Xiaolu said smugly, "I won't be discovered, and even if I am, I can escape."

She possessed exceptional lightness skills, moved with incredible speed, and was also extremely adept at concealing her presence.

Moreover, he has treasures protecting him.

She looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "Junior Brother Chu, shall we go over and take a look?"

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Won't we be surrounded?"

Lu Xiaolu said, "Let's sneak up from behind and observe secretly."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Qi Qingmei.

Qi Qingmei said, "Be careful. If it really doesn't work, send a signal and we'll wait here."

"Alright," Lu Xiaolu said, "Junior Brother Chu, let's go."

"Okay," Chu Zhiyuan agreed.

Lu Xiaolu once again produced a white silk ribbon from her sleeve, wrapped it around Chu Zhiyuan's waist, and pulled him away, turning him into a wisp of smoke that shot into the distance.

The two walked close to the treetops.

Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes, raised his left hand, and pointed diagonally in one direction.

They then hurried in that direction.

He felt a strange aura enveloping him through the white silk.

It was as if he was wearing an invisible garment that enveloped his aura.

After a cup of tea, Chu Zhiyuan suddenly made a stop gesture.

Their momentum came to an abrupt halt, and they drifted down onto a tree.

Chu Zhiyuan pointed ahead and made a gesture.

Lu Xiaolu understood what he meant; they were 500 meters apart.

She floated silently above the treetops, stopping after traveling about four hundred meters.

Chu Zhiyuan pointed to his mouth, indicating that he could no longer speak.

Lu Xiaolu nodded, her bright eyes dimmed, and she slightly closed her eyelids.

Chu Zhiyuan felt as if she had vanished from his sight, which was extremely strange.

The aura emanating from the white silk grew stronger, as if covered by a thick blanket.

Chu Zhiyuan felt as if he had become one with heaven and earth.

Without needing to use his supernatural senses, he could see through the gaps in the leaves that more than thirty leopard-headed, human-bodied demons were still crouching among the tree branches a hundred meters away, their expressions serious.

Lu Xiaolu pulled him back silently, retreating to a distance of two hundred meters.

Chu Zhiyuan whispered in her ear in a secret voice, "Should we teach them a lesson?"

Lu Xiaolu's bright eyes flashed, and her voice rang in his ear: "The Demon-Subduing Blade?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "We'll launch a sneak attack and then run."

Lu Xiaolu said, "Let's do it!"

Ten beams of clear light flew lightly from Chu Zhiyuan's sleeve, as gentle as spring water.

They moved silently close to the ground, nimbly weaving through the dense grass, without cutting a single blade of grass.

When it silently arrived at the tree beneath these leopard demons, it suddenly accelerated, and a flash of golden light appeared.

"what!"

……

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head in disappointment.

Of the ten throwing knives, only three hit their mark; the other seven were evaded.

These leopard demons were truly sharp; when danger approached, they reacted with astonishing speed and dodged instantly.

The three men who were stabbed also dodged, narrowly avoiding vital areas.

This was enough to infuse the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree with its aura and annihilate them.

Golden flames suddenly blazed up, and then the three leopard demons vanished.

Three more golden lights appeared inside the Demon-Subduing Palace, each the same size as the previous thirteen.
