Chapter 1698 - 1694: Outer Sect

Chapter 1698: Chapter 1694: Outer Sect

Senior Brother Ning Dongge mused, "If the source of cosmic breath can be controlled, wouldn’t that be just like controlling a water vein?"

Chu Zhiyuan replied, "Complete control is not that easy. The cosmos has its own way of functioning. We can only influence it slightly."

Ning Dongge said, "But even a slight influence can affect the spiritual energy of a world, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

"Hiss..." Junior Brother Zhang Ji Yuan gasped, "Does this mean that the quality of spiritual energy in a world could be at the discretion of our junior brother?"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "I can only influence a part of it. Of course, that is after becoming the master of the Taixu Tower. We aren’t there yet."

"That is already incredible!" Zhang Ji Yuan remarked, "With this ability, wouldn’t everyone in a world fear you?"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "I’m afraid everyone would wish to kill me to prevent me from influencing the spiritual energy of the world. So this matter must not be spread."

Zhang Ji Yuan solemnly said, "Naturally, it must not be spread!"

Ning Dongge agreed, "Indeed, it cannot be spread."

He immediately recognized the severity; truly able to influence the spiritual energy of worlds would be one of the strongest powers.

The Court of each level of the cosmos, even with a divine artifact, cannot change the spiritual energy of the world.

What even a divine artifact cannot achieve, junior brother can.

If one wanted to deal with a certain world, having junior brother assist would be the ultimate weapon.

Weakening spiritual energy of one world would weaken its entire power.

Weakening other worlds while also strengthening one’s own world.

In the scale of increase and decrease, the unification of all heavens is not an unreachable dream.

Following such, the Taixu Tower unifying all heavens is not a legend but truly achievable!

Thinking about this made him widen his eyes, solemnly saying, "Junior brother, Junior Brother Zhang, this matter absolutely cannot be spread, better if no one knows!"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Zhang Ji Yuan nodded with a smile, still not fully grasping the gravity of it.

Ning Dongge looked at him and emphasized the key point.

Zhang Ji Yuan listened and widened his eyes, "Turns out the legend is not exaggerated."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I really don’t have such ambition to do such a thing."

"Whether you will do it or not is not the same as whether you can do it," Zhang Ji Yuan said in amazement, "Incredible, the master of the Taixu Tower is indeed powerful!... Did the Divine Race ever do such a thing?"

Was the previous master of the Taixu Tower from the Divine Race, did they interfere with the spiritual energy of other worlds?

Ning Dongge frowned.

"It’s unknown; probably aside from the previous tower master, no one else knows."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Whether the previous master interfered, he did not know.

Zhang Ji Yuan said, "I think having this ability, it’s impossible not to use it."

Ning Dongge slowly nodded.

With power comes the desire to use it.

Having this skill, how could one not try it?

Not trying would be equivalent to not having this ability.

So they would certainly take action.

Just unaware of which world would be unlucky, or which would benefit.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Senior brothers, I’m curious why our Heaven-Reaching Sect has the inheritance of the Taixu True Scripture."

Zhang Ji Yuan said, "It is said our founding ancestor was from the Divine Race; that’s why we have this true scripture,... Junior brother, do you mean...?"

"If there were cultivation notes from this ancestor, that would be excellent."

Chu Zhiyuan searched for some cultivation notes but none were related to this ancestor’s Taixu True Scripture.

In the beginning, he did not practice the Taixu True Scripture, so he didn’t focus much on it.

"This ancestor’s notes..." Zhang Ji Yuan turned to Ning Dongge, "Senior Brother, you read a lot, do you have it?"

Ning Dongge thought for a moment, "... Should be available. I’ll look for it."

"Thanks, Senior Brother." Chu Zhiyuan said.

The library of Heaven-Reaching Sect is vast and numerous.

Having not been in Heaven-Reaching Sect for long, while Ning Dongge has been there a long time, having read many books far beyond his reach.

Ning Dongge left the hall, Zhang Ji Yuan got closer to Chu Zhiyuan, "Junior brother, have Qingyu come play, she’s a disciple of our Heaven-Reaching Sect."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "She’s been busy cultivating, indeed didn’t come often."

Zhang Ji Yuan said, "Won’t she cultivate in our Heaven-Reaching Hall?"

Chu Zhiyuan replied, "The Profound Yin Palace is livelier, children prefer excitement."

"Ah..." Zhang Ji Yuan looked around the Heaven-Reaching Hall, shook his head, "Our Heaven-Reaching Sect is just too sparse."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Sect rules are like this, nothing can be done."

Heaven-Reaching Sect has very strict requirements for disciples’ aptitude, thus destined to be sparse.

Zhang Ji Yuan said, "Junior brother, you have great skills, can’t you find more disciples?"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Finding Qingyu already took a lot of effort."

Zhang Ji Yuan said, "How about we establish an Outer Door?"

Chu Zhiyuan contemplated.

Zhang Ji Yuan said, "Recruit a batch of disciples, it’s okay if their aptitude isn’t great, just find some cultivation techniques to enhance their aptitude."

Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

Zhang Ji Yuan said, "Junior brother, your Heavenly Five Mysterious Techniques are extremely profound, even able to enhance aptitude."

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.

This point is indeed true.

The marvelous use of the Heavenly Five Mysterious Techniques lies in improving balance, thereby establishing a perfectly harmonious constitution.

Once perfect harmony is achieved, one’s aptitude is exceedingly high.

"Such marvelous miracle technique, wasting it would truly be a shame," Zhang Ji Yuan became excited, "If we elevate some disciples’ aptitude to enter the sect, our Heaven-Reaching Sect would not be so quiet anymore!"

Chu Zhiyuan sighed and said, "Senior brother, our Heaven-Reaching Sect is sparse, quiet but also peaceful, more people would bring more trouble."

Zhang Ji Yuan said, "Becoming Spirit Venerable, there’s not much left to cultivate, just us old fellows facing each other every day, how is life to be lived!"

"That’s true."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Stepping into Spirit Venerable, especially crossing the Third Transition, there’s no longer a sense of crisis, cultivation ceases to be everything, merely part of living.

At that time, with leisure, it can become boring.

He often visited Xiao Ruoling, returned to Prince Qing Mansion, went to Li Hongzhao’s place.

Constantly changing environments to combat boredom.

For Spirit Venerables, lifespan is long, everything is not urgent, easily falling into boredom.

At this time, there are two pathways: finding from within, discovering personal hobbies and immersing in them, or finding from outside, joining lively events.

"This matter needs Sect Master’s consent, doesn’t it?" Chu Zhiyuan said.

"Sect Master has long wanted to do this, also dislikes the chill," Zhang Ji Yuan said.

"Since so, senior brother you and Senior Brother Ning, once stepping into Spirit Venerable, then recruit disciples," Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Teach them the Heavenly Five Mysterious Techniques, see if they meet the requirements."

"That would be excellent!" Zhang Ji Yuan said excitedly.

Ning Dongge appeared, holding a Purple Box in his hands, "What’s the excitement about?"

Zhang Ji Yuan laughed, "Junior brother agreed to recruit some disciples to practice the Heavenly Five Mysterious Techniques, as Outer Sect disciples, our Heaven-Reaching Sect can finally become lively."

Ning Dongge smiled, "First let us step into Spirit Venerable,... Junior brother, it is said this is the ancestor’s notes, but I cannot open this box."

He pushed the Purple Box to Chu Zhiyuan with a frown.

This Purple Box is indeed seamless, couldn’t detect any gap, pressed firmly, sturdily intact.

"A Treasure Sword won’t work either," Ning Dongge said, "Quite formidable, junior brother can you open it?"

Zhang Ji Yuan came forward and tried, but shook his head helplessly, "Seems uncanny."

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, placed his palm on the center, closed his eyes.

The Taixu True Scripture flows instantly.

Gentle brilliance surged from within the Purple Box, followed by a crisp "crack" sound.

Then, radiance burst forth, as the light vanished, the Purple Box had disappeared, and in its place was a stack of thick yellowed silk books.
