Chapter 1264 Myth
He appeared a mile away from the statue in a flash, simultaneously using his super-sensory perception to teleport at any moment.

He then disappeared again, reappearing in the courtyard of the Heavenly Sword Villa with a smile on his face.

The danger has indeed been greatly reduced and no longer poses a fatal threat; it is safe to approach.

Clearly, the source of the danger lies in these seven-colored beams of light.

It is the source of power.

Now, the Dragon-Binding Rope, formed from accumulated merit, has seized the seven-colored pillar of light, thus thwarting the threat.

The rest can then be arranged at a leisurely pace.

He glanced in the direction of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

The experts at the Imperial Ancestral Temple were still busy inspecting various places, trying to figure out the cause of the previous anomalies.

He shook his head.

It's almost impossible to find out the truth; we're destined to be completely baffled.

Ultimately, it can only be attributed to the power of our ancestors, which drove away the evil forces.

He sat down at the stone table, brewed himself a cup of tea, and looked relaxed.

As the tension in my heart eased, the world suddenly seemed vast, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort and freedom.

I haven't experienced this much pressure in a long time.

Under this pressure, he broke through to the ninth level of perfection.

Under this pressure, I came to understand the wonderful use of merit.

I really don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse.

He secretly warned himself that he was lucky this time, but he might not be so lucky next time.

Therefore, we cannot relax and must continue to improve, even if we have already achieved perfection.

How do we take the path to further improvement?

He thought for a moment, then vanished in a flash, reappearing inside Heavenly Sword Peak and arriving in front of the Sect Leader's Hall.

As soon as he stepped onto the steps, Lu Wanshan's voice came from inside: "Zhiyuan, come in."

Chu Zhiyuan stepped into the hall and bowed with clasped hands: "Sect Leader".

Lu Wanshan remained seated behind his desk, perusing the files, and beckoned for him to sit down.

Chu Zhiyuan sat down in the high-backed chair at the bottom of the steps, smiled and nodded to the young man who brought him tea as a way of thanking him.

Lu Wanshan slammed the dossier down in annoyance and strode over to sit down opposite him.

He glanced at Chu Zhiyuan several times: "Is it complete?"

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Sect Leader, have I achieved perfection?"

"Hmm, it's perfect. How long has it been? Let me count..." Lu Wanshan counted on his fingers: "One month, two months, three, four..."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Sect Leader, I have a question to ask you."

Lu Wanshan stopped fiddling with his fingers: "What?"

"How can I break through to the next level?" Chu Zhiyuan asked. "The ninth level of perfection is the limit. Are there any realms beyond that?"

"What do you think?" Lu Wanshan asked.

"Have."

“If you think so, then keep going up,” Lu Wanshan said.

What if I don't think so?

“Then there’s no need to waste any more effort,” Lu Wanshan said. “Consolidate your cultivation level, because the perfect realm can regress.”

Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

Lu Wanshan looked at him with a smile: "If my memory serves me right, Zhiyuan, you are the fastest person in the history of our Heavenly Sword Sect to reach the Perfection Realm."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head: "Sect Leader, you know how much of this was due to luck."

Lu Wanshan said, "This matter has always been judged solely on the outcome, not the process."

Should we publicize it?

"Of course we should publicize it properly to enhance the prestige of our Heavenly Sword Sect! ...What, you're unwilling?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "I just feel unworthy of such praise."

“If you don’t dare to take the blame, who will!” Lu Wanshan said, “Others would love to exaggerate even a small amount into a huge one, but you’re too embarrassed to say you’re ten… Besides, it’s time for you to officially make a name for yourself.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled wryly. "Your reputation was only circulating in private before, now it's time to officially spread it." Lu Wanshan said, "I was a little worried that too much attention would attract jealousy. Now that you've achieved perfection, just open it up completely, be as high-profile as you can!"

He chuckled and said, "Our Heavenly Sword Sect must hold its head high and be full of ambition!"

Once this news spread, the morale of all the disciples of Tianjian Peak would be greatly boosted, their cohesion would be stronger, their hearts would be more aligned, and they would be more united, bringing immeasurable benefits.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Sect Leader, so you're saying that after reaching the ninth level of perfection, the different experiences each person has are also related to their talent?"

"Well, if you feel you haven't reached your limit yet and can continue to improve, then you can continue your cultivation and take another step forward. But most people feel they have reached the end and have nowhere to go."

"Can we continue forward and go to the next level?"

“As for the Spirit Venerable Realm… it’s almost impossible,” Lu Wanshan shook his head. “In the last ten thousand years, no one has reached the Spirit Venerable Realm. So if you cultivate further, you can only achieve quantitative changes and you will almost never reach the Spirit Venerable Realm.”

“Almost impossible…” Chu Zhiyuan said, “What if we add the Heavenly Sword to the mix?”

"Even the Heavenly Sword can't help it," Lu Wanshan said. "I'm at the same level of ninth-order perfection now."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

It seems that Biyuan Heaven and Tianwai Heaven are indeed different.

The fact that one can cultivate to the Spirit Venerable realm in the Outer Heavens suggests that the spiritual energy is even more abundant and purer.

Therefore, people have different potential and different levels of cultivation ability.

The combination of these two factors has led to the differences we see today.

"Sect Leader, are there higher realms beyond the Spirit Realm?"

"The next level is the legendary mythical realm. In ancient times, there were phoenixes, celestial dragons, and various divine beasts. The royal bloodline was passed down from them. Now that there are no more divine beasts, there is naturally no more mythology."

"Did it exist in ancient times?"

"You want to pursue that mythical realm from ancient times?" Lu Wanshan shook his head and laughed, "It's impossible now. The world has changed so much that such a realm is no longer possible."

"Has no one in modern times ever reached the Mythical Realm?"

"As far as I know, no."

"What about the royal family's retainers? Even bloodline cultivation is impossible?"

“No, ... well... speaking of which, you could give it a try.” Lu Wanshan said slowly, “I didn’t realize it at first.”

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.

Lu Wanshan said, "If someone else said they wanted to step into the realm of mythology, I would laugh at their arrogance. But you are different. You are the first person in history, including the ancient times. No one has ever reached the ninth level of perfection so quickly. So, you can indeed try to challenge the limit, first become a Spirit Venerable, and then step into the realm of mythology!"

"Then how do we try it?"

Lu Wanshan shook his head: "There are no records of this. It's very strange. There are definitely no cultivation notes on this topic."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and pondered.

Lu Wanshan said, "I found an explanation: the realm of mythology cannot be explained in words; it can only be comprehended by one's own heart, and even if one comprehends it, one cannot express it."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

Lu Wanshan said, "You should practice until you reach your limit, until you feel you can't go any further, then try to break through. It's too early to talk about that now. Let's reach the Spirit Venerable level first."

"Yes."

“To be honest,” Lu Wanshan said, “I have actually been searching all along, as have all the patriarchs of past generations. They have all been searching for clues to the Mythical Realm, but alas…”

He shook his head and said, "This is probably the final answer."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and asked, "Then, Sect Leader, do you have any leads?"

“Not at all.” Lu Wanshan shook his head: “I have come to terms with reality. It is indeed impossible. Even becoming a Spirit Venerable is impossible.”

He smiled wryly and said, "My aptitude is not outstanding among the patriarchs of all time. If they couldn't do anything, then it's even less likely for me. But it is possible for you."

"I will try my best."

"If you can step into the Mythical Realm, hehe..." Lu Wanshan couldn't help but grin and laugh out loud.

He couldn't help but imagine what Chu Zhiyuan would be like when he became a legendary master of the Myth Realm.

The Heavenly Sword Sect rose to prominence, becoming the number one sect in the world.

What about the imperial court?

The imperial court will also have no choice but to yield, and thus have to act according to the whims of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

That would truly be a moment of triumph for the Heavenly Sword Sect.
