Chapter 966 - 972, - 973: Qi Flight

The night was secluded and cool, and it was already midnight.

In the Imperial Palace Garden, many palace buildings had extinguished their candles, but the Imperial Kitchens located on the East Palace Road, surrounded by the South Three Institutes, were brightly lit, shining as brightly as day. Smoke wafted up from the chimneys, and the Imperial Chefs were busy yet orderly, their expressions anxious as the sounds of pots and pans clanged.

"The braised venison is ready, quickly take it to Your Majesty."

"The bear paw is also ready, Xiaolizi, come over and drizzle some sauce to take it to Your Majesty."

"Clean the bird’s nest properly; if Your Majesty eats something with feathers, be careful of your heads."

"What’s up with Your Majesty tonight? Eating so much."

"Slap, dare to gossip about Your Majesty, which eunuch are you following, such a loose tongue."

"..."

On the lacquered wooden table on the third floor of the Observatory, Chen Mo was gobbling down food carelessly, not minding his own image, his face glistening with oil. The empty plates stacked three layers high on the table.

"Gulp..." Yue Ruyan couldn’t help but swallow, this was really too much food.

"Your Majesty." At this moment, a voice sounding like a drake echoed from below the Observatory.

"It should be the Imperial Kitchen delivering the dishes." Yue Ruyan called up to the palace maid below to bring up the dishes, then instructed the palace maid who came up to take away the empty plates.

"Eat slowly, no one is competing with you."

Yue Ruyan sat down beside Chen Mo, seeing his greasy appearance, she couldn’t help but take out a handkerchief to wipe his face.

Two quarters of an hour later.

"Burp..."

Chen Mo rubbed his bulging belly and burped contentedly, saying, "Finally full."

He then opened the system panel to take a look.

[Cultivation Technique: Golden Crow Heaven Burning Skill (Basic 302/1000000).]

Just ordinary food, not Innate Spiritual Objects, yet it increased by over three hundred experience points in just that moment, showing the might of the Gluttonous Technique.

If the food were Innate Spiritual Objects, it would likely increase even more.

"Someone." Yue Ruyan called a palace maid to clean up the table after noticing.

Once the palace maid cleaned up the table and left, Yue Ruyan’s beautiful eyes under her brows gazed at Chen Mo, her radiant lips under the candlelight faintly glowing as she softly said, "Has your appetite increased after the breakthrough?"

Chen Mo got up to digest and strolled to the window, opening it to glance at the night scenery outside, then turning back, he said, "It’s not that. I just comprehended a Secret Technique, which allows for faster cultivation just by eating."

Chen Mo planned to pass the Gluttonous Technique to Yue Ruyan; after all, she was his woman, so there was no need to hide such a technique from her.

After speaking, Chen Mo grabbed paper and pen, copying down the Gluttonous Technique from memory for Yue Ruyan, saying, "Try and see if you can cultivate it?"

This Gluttonous Technique evolved from the Snake Swallowing Technique, and since Yue Ruyan hadn’t learned the Snake Swallowing Technique, Chen Mo didn’t know if she could successfully comprehend it.

"Just eating can speed up cultivation?"

Yue Ruyan was astonished as she took the copied Gluttonous Technique and started examining it.

With her experience, she could naturally discern the quality of a Secret Technique.

This Gluttonous Technique was the finest among the Secret Techniques she had ever seen.

"It’s too profound and mysterious; judging by my past cultivation of other Secret Techniques, if I want to master this Gluttonous Technique, it’s not possible in less than three or five years."

Yue Ruyan put down the paper with the copied Gluttonous Technique, as she couldn’t cultivate it immediately, she wasn’t in a hurry.

"No need to rush; there’s plenty of time."

"Well, I’m not in a hurry, but can you wear some clothes and not hover naked around me?" Yue Ruyan blushingly admonished, embarrassed.

Earlier, when Chen Mo was eating, Yue Ruyan only put a robe over his legs to cover the embarrassment; now that he’d stood up, the robe fell off, naturally exposing him.

"We’ve been together for so long, you haven’t seen me before; still embarrassed?" Chen Mo joked.

"Can’t you be serious?"

"Alright, I actually have some things to discuss with you."

...

The Yuezhi Clan has a thousand-year heritage, with ancestors hailing from the Royal Family, reaching the peak and producing Celestial Human Realm masters. Yue Ruyan, as the patriarch of this generation of the Yuezhi Clan, was surely knowledgeable about secrets concerning the Celestial Human Realm.

"The family does have records about the Celestial Human Realm, but after several cycles of rise and fall, some things have been lost, and the current family records about the Celestial Human Realm are few, kept by my mother; I’ll bring them for you to see tomorrow.

As for Soul Travel, I have some impressions; the ancestor left behind some mentions of it, but no records on how long it lasts or how far one can Soul Travel, possibly the lost parts at those times."

Upon hearing Chen Mo discuss realms and cultivation, Yue Ruyan’s expression turned serious.

Chen Mo did not hide anything from Yue Ruyan, sharing all the information he currently possessed about Soul Travel.

The two quietly shared tea and conversation, each taking turns to speak, and before long, half an hour had passed.

"By the way, I’ve heard the Celestial Human Realm can fly, which I haven’t seen with my own eyes yet." Yue Ruyan’s eyes sparkled with eagerness to witness it in person.

"Watch closely."

This small request, Chen Mo had no reason to refuse.

The Great Song Ancestor’s writings recorded the so-called flying in the Celestial Human Realm is Qi Flight.

By mobilizing the Innate Spiritual Qi within, circulating it throughout the body, relaxing the body, and merging consciousness with the heavens and earth, achieving a state of becoming one with the universe.

This is also why martial artists refer to First-Grade Martial Artists as the Celestial Human Realm.

The body relaxed, the mind emptied, flowing thoughts gradually stabilized from turbulence to calmness. As he tried this for the first time, he appeared very focused; his eyes closed at this moment, mobilizing the Innate Spiritual Qi to circulate throughout his body.
