Chapter 1191 Statue of Gods
The Heavenly Talisman is unaffected by the world; it can communicate with all things regardless of its location.

When he first obtained the talisman, he used it frequently and often received pleasant surprises.

As time went by, he became able to connect with the trees and flowers as naturally as he thirsted for water or breathed.

When dealing with animals, it's best to minimize the impact, as their emotions can affect you and create a negative effect.

Too many shocks can affect one's state of mind, thus delaying spiritual practice.

As for things without spirit or life, they naturally wouldn't use spirit communication talismans.

He never used the spirit-summoning talisman on the golden sword, but instead continuously refined it, sensing the spirituality that gradually grew within it.

He thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's not the right time yet."

What she meant by "controlling" was "embracing," and that was in relation to the Emperor's Sword, which had gained sentience and was full of it.

However, the Golden Sword currently lacks sufficient spiritual power to activate this talisman.

The next step is to continue adding gold powder and refining it to enhance its spirituality.

Once one has sufficient spirituality, one can use the Spirit Communication Talisman to completely merge with it, thereby elevating one's own realm.

He was suddenly filled with longing, a desire to see more statues of the Immortal Evil Lord.

Or perhaps it is an avatar of the Immortal Evil Lord.

After the Golden Sword annihilated the projection clone of the Undying Evil Lord, its spirituality greatly increased.

His eyes burned as he looked toward the imperial city.

The location of Zhenxie Abyss is unknown, and what exactly is suppressed within it is unknown.

Is it a statue of the Undying Evil Lord, or a projection clone of the Undying Evil Lord?

Either way, it will greatly benefit the Golden Sword.

"When and how to do it is up to you," Li Hongzhao said. "The Emperor's Sword follows this method, but your Golden Sword may not be the same."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

“I reckon you’ll be at the ninth level by the time you come back next time,” Li Hongzhao chuckled. “It’s getting faster and faster now.”

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at her and shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Li Hongzhao asked.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Let's slow down a bit, lest our foundation become unstable."

Li Hongzhao said, "I was originally worried that it would be too fast, but I found that with the help of the statue, my body and mind were changing, and my comprehension and knowledge were expanding. It was not just about cultivation."

“…It’s still not appropriate,” Chu Zhiyuan said. “It’s too fast.”

Li Hongzhao frowned slightly.

She glanced at Chu Zhiyuan and shook her head: "You're almost at the ninth level too, aren't you?"

"Yes," Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "It should be within the next two months."

"You said I was fast!" Li Hongzhao rolled her eyes at him. "Fine, I'll slow down."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Keep this jade pendant with you at all times, don't lose it."

"Are you still worried about that statue?" Li Hongzhao asked.

“I don’t have any concerns about it,” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, “It’s just that your cultivation method is a bit too astonishing.”

One's own improvement is possible under many conditions, such as having multiple assistants, and each person's extraordinary skills and secret techniques also improve, thus driving one's own cultivation level up.

Therefore, although the progress is rapid, the effort required is no less.

She stayed on the mountain, simply sitting in front of the statue every day, and her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, almost reaching the ninth level.

This is completely illogical.

"I was once the master of the Emperor's Sword, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to withstand this infusion of power and wouldn't have been able to advance so quickly."

"so?"

"This is what the sect leader said."

"...In short, it's safer to take it slow," Chu Zhiyuan said.

Although Lu Wanshan wouldn't harm Li Hongzhao, he trusted his own judgment more.

"Mm." Li Hongzhao nodded.

She trusted Chu Zhiyuan more than Lu Wanshan.

He himself felt that something was amiss, so he specifically asked Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan made the same judgment, and she naturally confirmed her unease.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "May I see this statue?" "Follow me."

Li Hongzhao led him away from the small courtyard and into a large hall, which was the Sutra Repository.

Li Hongzhao led him through the main hall to the rear hall.

Chu Zhiyuan had never been to this inner palace before; he had only seen its appearance through his extrasensory perception.

The grand halls, arranged according to the cardinal directions (east, south, west, and north), form a square open space in the middle.

A square open space was covered with red mud, and a group of disciples were practicing their skills.

They crossed the training ground and arrived at the main hall to the west.

The interior of the main hall is entirely white.

The walls and floor were covered with crystal-clear, warm white jade, pure and flawless.

In the very center of the main hall is a ball of flame, which at first glance appears to be a real flame, not only in shape and form but also in heat.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that the flames are actually a statue.

The flames seemed to sway in the wind, forming several phoenix shapes, resembling the image of rebirth.

Chu Zhiyuan felt a chill run down his spine and involuntarily took a step back.

Li Hongzhao turned her head and looked at him strangely.

At this moment, there was no one else in the hall.

Chu Zhiyuan turned his head and looked around: "Could it be that you are the only one in our sect who cultivates the Phoenix Burning Heaven Scripture?"

"Hmm." Li Hongzhao nodded gently: "So there was a senior sister here too, but she hasn't returned to the sect for a long time, and we don't know where she is."

"Is he dead or alive?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.

“They are alive, but we don’t know where they are.” Li Hongzhao shook his head gently: “That was a thousand years ago.”

"Interesting," Chu Zhiyuan said thoughtfully.

“Something’s not right?” Li Hongzhao said.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "If the sect discovers a disciple has gone missing, they will definitely investigate. They should be able to find them, right?"

Li Hongzhao said, "There are some places that are very difficult to enter. There seem to be quite a few of these strange, secret, and forbidden places in the Biyuan Heaven. This senior sister may have entered one of them."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly: "I see... This statue is very dangerous."

He sensed a powerful presence staring intently at him, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.

When the extrasensory perception was used to see the cave, the statue it saw was just an ordinary statue.

But standing in front of it now, it feels as if it has come to life.

It didn't come back to life when the cave was illuminated, but it's only come back to life now?
Or did it deceive the extrasensory perception of the cave?
He pondered inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged as he calmly looked at the statue: "Standing here, can you comprehend the Way of Fire?"

“Yes.” Li Hongzhao smiled and said, “As long as you stare at this flame, you can merge with it, as if you have become a flame and become one with heaven and earth. This will allow you to improve your cultivation and change your physique without even realizing it.”

Chu Zhiyuan stared intently at the statue, and suddenly a ball of flame appeared before his eyes.

Suddenly, he felt a dull pain, as if a ball of fire had entered his head and was burning fiercely, consuming his soul.

He quickly formed hand seals, and the aura of the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree surged in.

A cool sensation then seeped into the brain, relieving the burning sensation and extinguishing the flames.

"What's wrong?" Li Hongzhao asked curiously, noticing his pale face.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "As expected, it is indeed a bloodline inheritance item."

"Are you injured?" Li Hongzhao asked with a smile.

Chu Zhiyuan said irritably, "You almost got hurt, did you want to see if I could withstand it?"

Li Hongzhao chuckled: "I'll let you experience its power firsthand so you can understand it better."

“It is indeed no ordinary object.” Chu Zhiyuan looked up at the sky.

Its power does not arise from nothing, but comes from the void.

Without visualizing this flame, and before the soul is burned, even with extrasensory perception, one cannot see the phoenix in the void.

Now he could clearly see a phoenix floating in the void, just like the celestial dragon above the head of Chu Liezhao's clone.

Compared to the Heavenly Dragon, this phoenix is ​​more agile and more powerful.

Chu Zhiyuan had a strange feeling that the dragon was just a child, while the phoenix was an adult with extraordinary wisdom.
