Checking In for Sixty Years, From Puppet Emperor to Heavenly Emperor – Chapter 34

Ch 34: Imparting

Zhou An left the mountain peak that had been cut in half and jumped off the flying sword, using his lightness skill to leap through the forest.

He didn’t know the situation of the Purple River Demon Lord. Flying in the sky was too conspicuous, so he could only use the canopy here to hide his figure.

After getting away from this area, he carefully flew in the central area. Little demons would not actively attack Innate Cultivators unless they were forced to.

As for Greater Demons, Zhou An’s Ethereal Demon Eye would immediately trap them in an illusion, enough to let him leave.

Spending most of the evening holding a beautiful woman and checking in everywhere was also unprecedented. He finally found a cave and put Hua Wuyue on a relatively flat ground.

He sat on the other side, impatiently looking at what he had snatched from the Azure-Eyed Ghost Bat King. According to the system introduction, it was called Zhu Fruit, which had been growing for a thousand years, and its color was scarlet, representing maturity.

Each one can increase cultivation by 60 years. This can only be eaten once. Eating more is not only useless, but it will also poison the body.

This Zhu Fruit plant had 26 fruits. He immediately picked one and ate it, feeling a domineering fiery energy coming from his abdomen. He quickly circulated his energy to absorb it, dispersing the heat to avoid being burned. No wonder this thing can only be eaten one at a time, and unless it is an Innate Cultivator, it cannot be absorbed at all, but will die from fire poison.

After he absorbed the energy of this Zhu Fruit, his cultivation reached 310 years, finally reaching Innate Second Level.

Others accommodate a hundred years of cultivation for each mirror realm they advance, but he accommodates three hundred years of cultivation. If calculated this way, if he reaches Innate Fourth Level, will he be able to fight someone at Innate Tenth Level?

But thinking of the Triple Heavenly Tribulation, he was still a little worried. Based on the information he currently had, the Heavenly Tribulation was somewhat dangerous.

After he finished absorbing, Hua Wuyue suddenly said, “Congratulations, Fellow Taoist, on breaking through your cultivation.”

Zhou An took out some drinks and food and put them in front of her, saying, “You’re awake. Eat something. It will help your injuries recover faster.”

Seeing Zhou An take out steaming food and Eight Treasures Porridge made of flowers and fruits, she looked incredulous.

Zhou An smiled and said, “I have a treasure sack. These are all bought from restaurants in various places and stored. They are all fresh.”

“You really are rich.” Hua Wuyue smiled slightly, without being overly polite, and picked up the Eight Treasures Porridge to eat.

Storage items were already relatively rare, but she didn’t expect Zhou An to be able to buy them with money. However, thinking of the astronomical sum of money he had taken out this time, she was relieved. So much money could really make some people sell treasures that were not directly related to cultivation.

Although cultivators rarely have the opportunity to use money, there are always times when they need it. Many cultivators also participate in mortal business transactions, and some good things can appear in business associations, so money is also very useful.

Although cultivators can steal these items without anyone knowing, doing so will cause them to pay a heavy price when the Heavenly Tribulation arrives, so cultivators dare not do such things.

After the two finished breakfast, Zhou An said, “Your injuries are very serious. I’ll take you to Qian Capital to meet up with everyone.”

“No, now that I know the Purple River Demon Lord is still here, and he already knows that I am the new Hundred Flowers Master, he will definitely chase after me. If I go to Qian Capital, wouldn’t that be harming my junior sisters?

It’s temporarily safe here. I’ll just heal my injuries here. Fellow Taoist Zhou Nan, thank you for your protection this night. You should leave quickly. I don’t want to implicate you.

This is the Hundred Flowers Token, as well as the laurel crown and Hundred Flowers Robe of Hundred Flowers Valley. Please give them to my junior sisters.” The clothes on Hua Wuyue’s body turned into colorful light and flew into her hands. The laurel crown landed on the clothes, and there was also a Hundred Flowers Token.

Seeing Hua Wuyue’s white underclothes, Zhou An couldn’t help but feel his heart beat faster. This was really very tempting.

He could only shift his gaze to other places and said, “I still have something unfinished here and can’t leave immediately. I’ll come back to help you bring it when I leave.”

“Okay, be careful. My master used to take me to the Ten Thousand Demons Forest for training. There are many Demon Kings with profound cultivation here. Don’t be brave in everything. The innermost part here is the territory of the Ten Thousand Demons King. Even my master doesn’t dare to step into it easily.” Hua Wuyue reminded.

“Okay, then I’ll go take care of things first and come back in the evening. You can recuperate here.” Zhou An left lunch and dinner.

After leaving here, he continued to check in in the central area. There were better things here and he checked in for some treasures: Millennium Ginkgo, Crimson Sun Spirit Pomegranate, and Millennium Jade Spirit Dew, all of which could increase cultivation by dozens of years.

After eating all of them, he increased his total cultivation by 140 years, and currently has 450 years of cultivation.

The only pity is that there is only one of each of these. If he brought them back, he could cultivate a group of Innate experts.

There were also some ores, spirit wood, and immortal bamboo, treasures for refining flying swords.

When he came back, it was already seven or eight o’clock in the evening.

As soon as he came back, he saw Hua Wuyue meditating and circulating her energy, but demonic energy appeared on her face, revealing a painful expression.

Zhou An immediately asked, “You have been invaded by demonic energy?”

Hua Wuyue stopped her practice and nodded, panting urgently, “The Purple River Demon Lord is really too strong. If it weren’t for the Hundred Flowers Robe and Hundred Flowers Laurel Crown, I wouldn’t even be able to withstand one of his moves. Zhou Nan, take the treasures of my sect and leave. I’m afraid that if I enter demonization, I will hurt you.”

Zhou An frowned and asked, “Is there any way to resolve the demonic energy?”

“My demonic energy is not deep. If there is a righteous cultivator at Innate Seventh Level, they can force the demonic energy out of my body. How many people in the world can reach Innate Seventh Level? Apart from the Righteous Oneness Sect and Heavenly Path Sect, we have no contact with other cultivation sects. No one will help a Flower Spirit.

Besides, the Purple River Demon Lord is outside now, and it is extremely difficult for me to leave. As the new generation of Hundred Flowers Master, perhaps if I die, the Purple River Demon Lord’s obsession will disappear. Maybe this is the best.” Hua Wuyue smiled, seemingly not caring much about death.

Zhou An thought for a moment and said, “Innate Seventh Level, that requires seven hundred years of cultivation.”

“About that, Zhou Nan, you should have just entered Innate not long ago, and you are still an independent cultivator. Didn’t Senior Drunken Taoist accept you as a disciple?” Hua Wuyue asked back.

“No, he said that my relationship with him is a friendship that transcends age, but there is no master-disciple relationship. My Method of Sword Control is still the basic method for independent cultivators, so my flying sword is so clumsy.” Zhou An laughed self-deprecatingly.

Hua Wuyue smiled and said, “Let me teach you. We Flower Spirits don’t have as many rules as the righteous humans. The mental cultivation method is only suitable for us Flower Spirits, so you can’t cultivate it, but the moves and methods are fine.”

“Really! That’s great.” Zhou An was delighted. These were exactly what he lacked most now.

Hua Wuyue smiled and said, “The basics of Method of Sword Control are the same, basically all similar. The differences are all prepared for the intermediate and advanced sword techniques of each sect.

You happen to be using our Divine Wood Sword, so it’s just right to use our methods.”

Listening to Hua Wuyue’s guidance, Zhou An practiced Method of Sword Control here. Only then did he understand that advanced Method of Sword Control is to integrate spells or sword techniques into the flying sword to exert more power.

As for Body-Sword Fusion, that is the most difficult. It requires completely refining the flying sword and storing it in the body, and then combining the Primordial Spirit with the flying sword. This way, the flying sword is equal to one’s second life.

Once the flying sword is destroyed, one will also suffer great damage, but this way the power of the flying sword will be very powerful.

In the next five days, Zhou An would go out to check in during the day and come back in the evening to study with Hua Wuyue. In order for Hua Wuyue to recover sooner, he gave Hua Wuyue a Zhu Fruit to help her improve her cultivation so that she could suppress the erosion of demonic energy.

The central area of the Ten Thousand Demons Forest is the largest. He spent five days here to complete all the check-ins, obtaining many good things.

His cultivation reached 600 years, and his mirror realm also reached the peak of Innate Second Level.

Later, he was a little afraid to improve further. Calculating at 300 years for one level, if he reached 900 years of cultivation, he might attract the Heavenly Tribulation. He knew too little about the Heavenly Tribulation and did not dare to try it easily.

After five days of studying with Hua Wuyue, he truly mastered Method of Sword Control, and the released sword techniques were finally decent.

On the evening of the fifth day, after he came back, he took out a Three Thousand Years and handed it to her, saying, “Wuyue, I found this. If you eat it and improve your cultivation, you might be able to resolve the demonic energy yourself.”

Hua Wuyue marveled at Zhou An’s good fortune. Others might not encounter this thing in their entire lives, but Zhou An had found two treasures in a row these past few days. Even she was a little envious of his good fortune.

But she still shook her head and said, “I am already at the peak of Innate Third Level. If I eat it again, it is likely to attract the Triple Heavenly Tribulation. You should keep it for yourself.

Cultivators need to cultivate their cultivation method, refine magic treasures, and temper their state of mind in addition to cultivation. None of these can be lacking, otherwise they will not be able to survive the Heavenly Tribulation. Therefore, you must also control these things. You are improving your cultivation too quickly now, and the others have not kept up. Once the Heavenly Tribulation comes, you will surely die.”

“Understood, thank you for your guidance.” Zhou An cupped his fist in thanks.

“What a Hundred Flowers Master, living in the same room with a human man. Hundred Flowers Grandmother should die with eyes wide open.”

Suddenly, the Purple River Demon Lord’s voice came from outside. Then, a red light flashed, and his figure appeared. The clothes on his body were a little damaged, indicating that he had also suffered damage in the battle a few days ago. He had probably been hiding to heal his injuries these past few days.
