Chapter 1175 Function
The next morning, while he was refining the golden sword, Lu Wanshan sent someone to summon him.

After washing up, he went to the main hall of the sect leader and saw Lu Wanshan pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"Sect Leader." Chu Zhiyuan clasped his hands in a salute.

Lu Wanshan looked at the simple, ancient scabbard at his waist and smiled: "Is this the precious sword?"

Chu Zhiyuan drew his sword and presented it with both hands.

Lu Wanshan took it, flicked his finger, and a dragon's roar immediately resounded throughout the hall.

"What a fine sword!" Lu Wanshan exclaimed.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

Lu Wanshan stared intently at him, and after a moment, he looked up at him in surprise.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Sect Leader, I want to replicate the Emperor's Sword. How is the replication going?"

"It has captured its form," Lu Wanshan said slowly. "Is it originally like this?"

His expression was solemn.

Could there be another Heavenly Sword clone?
Chu Zhiyuan said, "I engraved it myself inside the sword; this sword is made of a special material."

Lu Wanshan shook his head and said, "Even the owner of the Emperor's Sword could not do this."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled sheepishly.

Lu Wanshan stared at the sword thoughtfully, his gaze intense.

Chu Zhiyuan stood quietly to the side without saying a word.

It was clear that Lu Wanshan was deeply shocked and his emotions were far from calm.

After a long pause, Lu Wanshan said in a deep voice, "Your sword has only the form, not the substance."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "I do not know the cultivation method of the Emperor's Sword."

"The secret of the Emperor's Sword technique is not to be passed on to outsiders," Lu Wanshan said. "No one can pass it on to you, not even me, otherwise I will suffer the backlash of the Heavenly Sword."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness she didn't let Li Hongzhao pass it on to her, otherwise she would be in big trouble right now.

"Since you carved it yourself and created this sword yourself, you might as well study it carefully and explore it yourself. It is already extremely powerful."

Chu Zhiyuan replied, "Yes."

Lu Wanshan thought for a moment and slowly said, "Go out and explore more, kill more demons and monsters, and perhaps you will gain some insight."

Chu Zhiyuan seemed to be deep in thought, then nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Lu Wanshan said, "The matter of the Flying Snow Cave has already begun, and the great battle is about to begin. Do you want to go and participate?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "With all the senior brothers and elders here, there's no need for me to participate. I can just go back to the imperial city and wait."

I've already garnered too much attention; I can't keep up with it all.

Otherwise, you'll not gain fame but rather attract hatred.

"Don't you want to engage in a bloody massacre and collect even more bounties from the imperial court?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I have killed enough."

Lu Wanshan shook his head and laughed, "You're easily satisfied."

There is no limit to how much there can be; this is the instinctive drive of most people.

Chu Zhiyuan killed nearly a hundred demons.

You can start collecting bounties by killing ten demons, but the more demons you kill, the bigger the bounty becomes.

In such a situation, it's natural to kill as many as possible.

Chu Zhiyuan was able to resist the temptation and stop there.

This is about reason prevailing over greed.

He nodded to himself: Such a character is fit for great responsibility.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Sect Leader, is there any way to directly destroy the strongholds of the Wuxiang Sect, the Qianye Sect, and the other evil sects?"

“It’s difficult. The imperial court also has extraordinary people. It’s not that we haven’t been able to track them down to their lair, but we’ve raided it time and time again and still haven’t been able to wipe them out,” Lu Wanshan said. “They are different from the Ten Thousand Blood Sect.”

"More than one hideout?"

"Yes, use one place at a time, and if it gets confiscated, use a second place."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "This is indeed troublesome."

Unless they are wiped out directly, the base can be changed frequently.

"More importantly, the Wanxiang Sect and Qianye Sect are skilled at escaping, making them very difficult to kill."

"My Demon-Subduing Blade is still in good condition, but if I really want to kill them, I'll need to rely on the intelligence from the Exorcism Division."

“You can cooperate with the Exorcism Division,” Lu Wanshan said.

Chu Zhiyuan hesitated.

That's exactly what he wanted to say.

If we want to kill more demons, we can't rely on the Heavenly Sword Sect; we still need to rely on the Demon Extermination Division.

The relationship between the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Exorcism Division is delicate; getting too close to the Exorcism Division would cause some controversy.

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect might harbor resentment or be wary of him.

Lu Wanshan said, "I will make it clear to all the disciples that you are representing our Heavenly Sword Sect in cooperating with the Evil Extermination Division."

Chu Zhiyuan secretly admired Lu Wanshan's intelligence, as he saw through his concerns at a glance.

"Knowing that you are pure of heart and want to kill more demons, it is indeed necessary to rely on the Exorcism Division to do so."

"Thank you very much, Sect Leader!" Chu Zhiyuan clasped his hands in a fist salute. Lu Wanshan had been extremely kind to him.

He had a vague feeling that they were grooming him to be the sect leader.

However, he was not the only disciple like this in the sect; there were several others.

I am now a seed, and I must compete with other seeds.

This may be the method of inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

……

As soon as Chu Zhiyuan returned to the Heavenly Sword Villa, an old man came to visit him.

Chu Zhiyuan came to the front yard to meet them, but it turned out to be someone sent by Huang Zhengyang, who handed him a black box.

Inside the black box are six Spirit Ascension Orbs.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

Huang Zhengyang was quite kind; he only asked for five, but Huang gave him six.

He told Gu Junqi, then left his courtyard and exited the city gate.

Outside the south gate, Ding Huanchun still led the city guards to stand watch, his eyes shining with golden light as he used his Candle Demon Eye to screen the people entering the city.

Chu Zhiyuan greeted him and drifted away, seemingly heading out of the city to search for demons.

After walking ten miles, I arrived at the top of a mountain and sat cross-legged on a blue stone.

With no one around, a portal of light suddenly appeared, and Chu Liezhao stepped out of it.

Chu Zhiyuan handed him the black box.

After Chu Liezhao took it, he turned around, stepped into the portal, and disappeared.

That very night, he gave half of the Spirit Pearl to Li Miaotan.

He took the three pills himself.

This body now possesses the power of bloodline and has the bloodline of the Heavenly Dragon.

After consuming a Spirit Ascension Pearl, he could clearly see that his bloodline had been enhanced, his connection with the Heavenly Dragon in the void had become closer, and his physical attributes had increased dramatically.

So he took all three pills.

Li Miaotan trusted Chu Liezhao completely and took the Spirit Ascension Pearl without hesitation.

The phoenix bloodline suddenly surged.

Both of them experienced a surge in their bloodline. When they cultivated together, their energy exchanged and merged seamlessly, causing their cultivation levels to skyrocket.

Unbeknownst to him, he had already broken free from his original constraints and stepped into the Ninth Revolution Venerable Realm.

Chu Zhiyuan sat cross-legged on his bed in the Tianjian Villa, sensing the Nine Revolutions through Chu Liezhao.

At the same time, he was also comparing his current state with that of the Nine-Turn Realm.

At the same time, I am experiencing the accumulation and insights required to break through from the eighth to the ninth level.

Chu Liezhao's clone's cultivation method is different from his. Although both are at the eighth to ninth stage, their understanding and needs are different.

But once you truly experience what the Nine Revolutions look like and gain a clear understanding, you'll understand the difference between the Eight Revolutions and the Nine Revolutions even more clearly.

This kind of understanding is the most valuable, and some of the insights are also extremely valuable.

These insights allowed him to make significant progress in the eighth stage of cultivation, achieving a leap forward that surpassed several months of arduous training.

The next morning, as he was refining the golden sword, Gu Junqi came to visit.

"Elder." Chu Zhiyuan invited him to sit down at the stone table and served him a cup of tea.

Gu Junqi said, "Zhiyuan, aren't you going to join the fun and kill the demons?"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "I need to rest and recover. I was too exhausted the past few days."

Gu Junqi said, "Then we've missed a great opportunity. The four major sects have already killed a large number of demons, and even more demons are flocking there like moths to a flame."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "They haven't realized it's a trap yet?"

Sixteen experts from the four sects escorted the treasures of the Flying Snow Cave toward the imperial court.

However, although they were few in number, they were all ninth-level Venerables and could form formations.

Besides these sixteen, there are nearly a hundred experts from the four major sects lurking in the shadows.

In such a situation, no matter how many evil spirits there are, they will not benefit.

Those who are a little smarter should have sensed that something was wrong.

Gu Junqi said, "They're not that smart. Even if they realize something's wrong, they'll rush in against their will."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and chuckled.

It's too hasty to risk your life for a treasure you've never seen before.

This is the greed in people's hearts, and also the herd mentality.

Once a group of people gather together, it becomes difficult to maintain one's own judgment.

These people have their doppelgangers within them, tempting others, making it difficult for them to resist their own greed.

Moreover, the confirmation from their inside sources within the Myriad Manifestations Sect further convinced them.

"You can go and join in the fun, kill more demons, and get a better bounty."

"Let's forget about the bounty," Chu Zhiyuan said. "We can't force it."

"This can be considered putting pressure on the imperial court," Gu Junqi laughed, "making the court bleed a lot."

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow, but ultimately shook his head.
