Capítulo 704: Chapter 700: The Two Pearls

The people behind handed out a silk book to each of the twelve individuals.

Chu Zhiyuan also received a silk book. Upon opening it, he found pages of colored illustrations inside.

Each exotic flower and fruit was vividly depicted, full of life.

Chu Zhiyuan marveled that this must be the work of a master artist.

But at the same time, he was curious, could this master have seen all the exotic flowers and fruits?

This Grotto Heaven was like this, and so was the last Yujing Cave Heaven.

Could it be that every Grotto Heaven has been fully explored, uncovering all exotic flora?

How much time and effort would that take?

If these Grotto Heavens have cultivation realm restrictions and are scattered internally, how can one fully explore them?

For a moment, his thoughts drifted far away, pondering how these illustrations of exotic plants came to be.

Meanwhile, he was turning the pages of the silk book, imprinting each exotic flower and fruit in his mind, while comparing them to those from Yujing Cave Heaven.

He found many similarities between the two, with many exotic fruits common to both Grotto Heavens.

After flipping through the silk book, he realized that half of the exotic flora overlapped.

The previous restriction was Qi Transformation Realm, and this time it’s the Transformation Realm.

Does this mean that this Grotto Heaven’s exotic flowers and fruits aren’t as good as Yujing Cave Heaven’s?

Chu Hongfeng’s gaze was like lightning, scanning around.

His gaze finally landed on Chu Zhiyuan, and he said in a deep voice, “Ninth Prince, do you remember everything?”

Chu Zhiyuan tossed the silk book back to the young official who had handed it to him, smiling, “Uncle, I’ve remembered it all.”

“Then enter,” said Chu Hongfeng solemnly, “Remember, you have ten days.”

Chu Zhiyuan remarked, “That long?”

“Once you enter, you’ll find that ten days are too short,” Chu Hongfeng explained.

Chu Zhiyuan immediately understood.

This Green Spring Cave Heaven might be much larger than Yujing Cave Heaven.

Thus, ten days would indeed be too short and insufficient.

While they conversed, another girl handed her silk book to an official.

She, too, seemed to have memorized it.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at this graceful young girl.

Slender and well-proportioned, slightly shy, and blushed a little when Chu Zhiyuan looked at her.

Yet Chu Zhiyuan dared not underestimate her; at least Seventh Transition in Transformation Realm, an extraordinary genius.

He was quite curious, noting that she seemed about the same age as him, perhaps even younger.

Yet her cultivation surpassed his.

In terms of cultivation resources and assistance, almost no one could surpass him.

Of course, he was a late bloomer, just starting out.

However, seeing the Eldest Prince, Second Prince, and Third Prince, one could tell how formidable this girl was.

She couldn’t have better cultivation resources and assistance, so there were two possibilities: either her talent was exceptional, or she had encountered a significant adventure.

Whichever it was, she shouldn’t be underestimated.

“I am ready too,” the Prince Heir who had bowed first said in a low voice.

The others each lowered their heads, not responding.

Chu Zhiyuan secretly nodded.

No wonder they were all outstanding; just their character alone was remarkable.

Chu Honglin said, “Alright, follow me.”

“I’m ready too.”

“Ready.”

…

In the end, only two young girls remained, still engrossed in flipping through the silk books.

They showed no urgency or embarrassment, turning the pages slowly and steadily.

However, Chu Zhiyuan noticed their bright and serene gaze, unaffected by anything.

Chu Zhiyuan said, “Uncle, it’s okay to wait a bit longer, it doesn’t matter.”

Chu Hongfeng looked at the others.

The remaining nine nodded without objection.

If Chu Zhiyuan hadn’t spoken, they would be racing against time, possibly missing a strange flower or fruit with a slight delay.

Since Chu Zhiyuan had spoken up, they had to give face to the Ninth Prince.

Seeing this, Chu Hongfeng said no more, standing with arms crossed and eyes closed.

The two girls looked up at everyone, shook their heads helplessly, and quickened their pace.

They quickly finished reading the remaining silk books and handed them to two officials.

All officials carefully gathered the silk books, solemnly placing them into black boxes in their hands, then left holding the boxes.

Chu Hongfeng said, “Then follow me, into the Grotto Heaven!”

He led Chu Zhiyuan and the others into the hall, taking a silver plate from his sleeve.

The silver plate was engraved with strange patterns and two divine characters.

Chu Zhiyuan recognized the two characters: Green Spring.

Already, four middle-aged men were waiting in the hall, standing behind Chu Hongfeng.

After Chu Hongfeng took out the silver plate, they stepped forward, each placing their palm on the back of the person in front and finally on his back.

Gentle light shone from their palms, gathering on Chu Hongfeng and making his body increasingly bright, eventually pouring into the silver plate in his hand.

The two divine characters on the plate suddenly lit up, and then a light gate appeared before them.

A bright white glowing door floated in the hall.

It was as tall as a person, allowing two to enter side by side.

“Enter——”

“Yes.”

Chu Zhiyuan stepped in first.

His vision suddenly became dark, followed by the discomfort of weightlessness, his chest nauseous.

Suddenly, his view brightened, and he found himself standing on the edge of a cliff.

One more step forward would make him fall off the cliff.

Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes, using Super Sense Insight, while taking a snow-white pearl from his sleeve.

It looked like a ball of snow kneaded together:

this was the renowned Spiritual Rhinoceros Pearl.

He then took out another seven-colored pearl, the Soul Pearl.

A rare pearl obtained from the demon clan, allowing the sensing of each other’s presence.

Normally stored in the storage Silver Ring to isolate sensing.

Taking it out now, he could sense everything.

Concentrating, he sensed with the Spiritual Rhinoceros Pearl and detected six people.

They were descendants of the Spirit Guard.

To catch the demon clan, the Spirit Guards made a bold move, bringing out seven Spiritual Rhinoceros Pearls.

The Spiritual Rhinoceros Pearl wasn’t just any treasure; each one was precious.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, not in a hurry to summon them, putting the Spiritual Rhinoceros Pearl back into his sleeve.

Holding the Soul Pearl, he sensed meticulously.

But to no avail.

He pondered for a moment, closed his eyes, and once more sensed with the Soul Pearl.

In the ethereal realm, he caught a sense of danger, swiftly darting downward, gliding as if in the wind.

He didn’t need to utilize qinggong, as the Moon Silkworm Frost Robe glided him across the sky, over peaks.

Under Super Sense Insight, everything within ten miles appeared vividly in his eyes.

His figure abruptly turned, dashing toward the ground, and his right hand emitted several white beams.

Nine Great Brightness Fist attacks simultaneously struck the crevice of a mountain peak.

The fist power of the Great Brightness Fist seemed all-penetrating, directly killing a small snake in the crevice.

Carried by the Moon Silkworm Frost Robe, he skimmed over the mountain peak, over the boulder.

His palm lightly touched, collecting a little orchid from the crevice into the Silver Ring.

Without pause, he sped ahead, faster and faster, like a white light flashing over mountain peaks.

Chu Zhiyuan noted that within this Grotto Heaven, the energy of the Moon Silkworm Frost Robe was exceptionally lively.

It absorbed surrounding energies to transform into its power.

Thus, the energy consumed while flying was replenished by itself.

Chu Zhiyuan increasingly perceived the mysteriousness of the Moon Silkworm Frost Robe.

He continuously flew, tirelessly, always conserving his energy.

By evening, he stopped at a cave halfway up a mountain peak.

Nights in the Grotto Heaven were far too perilous, even for him, to wander recklessly.

He therefore hid in the cave, sorting the strange flowers and fruits he had collected in the Silver Ring.

Four transitions in the Transformation Realm; relying on the strange flora and spirit fruits, it was challenging to advance directly to Fifth Transition.

Additionally, the exotic plants and fruits differed from those in Yujing Cave Heaven.

Even if the same species appeared there, they varied greatly.

He then understood the marvel of Yujing Cave Heaven.
