Chu Zhiyuan stood at the foot of the mountain, gazing at the majestic snow mountain.
The mountain was several thousand meters high, similar to Mount Tai, which he had climbed in his previous life.
Generally, snow-capped peaks are lush and green at the foot, with the greenery becoming sparser as you ascend, eventually replaced by white snow, like trees wearing snow coats.
This mountain peak was entirely covered in white snow, with no greenery at all.
Chu Zhiyuan continued to look upwards, towards the sky.
The sun had just risen, and the golden rays shone diagonally on the snow peak, dyeing the eastern side of the mountain golden, resplendent and gorgeous, like a dream.
He took a deep breath, the air fresh and crisp, as if it had just snowed.
The scent of snow permeated the surroundings.
He looked down at his close-fitting outfit, feeling that he was dressed a little thinly.
It was fine at first, but the further he went, the colder he felt.
The clear, cold air not only chilled his skin but also seeped into his bones, freezing him to the marrow.
He stamped his feet, realizing that the peculiarity of this Great Bright Peak was that it was warm at the top and cold at the bottom.
Other mountains are colder the higher you go, but the Great Bright Peak is the opposite, with the coldest part being at the foot of the mountain.
Two gray figures suddenly appeared two zhang away, standing on the white snow, cupping their fists in salute: "Greetings, Ninth Prince."
Chu Zhiyuan glanced at the two young men, their demeanor feminine and elusive, and frowned: "Is there still a guard here?"
He recognized their identities at a glance: Inner Court Guards.
"We are under orders to welcome the Ninth Prince," a round-faced young man said with a smile, cupping his fist.
"Your Highness, please!" The two men secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk upwards.
The snow mountain had no steps, so to go up, they had to step on the thick white snow.
All three were able to use light body techniques.
…
Silent Contemplation Cliff was not at the summit but halfway up the Great Bright Peak.
Halfway up the mountain was a protruding boulder, more than ten meters long and more than twenty meters wide, jutting out from the mountain.
This boulder was quite flat, with two pine trees leaning diagonally like gnarled whiskers on the edge of the boulder.
The mountain wind swept through the pine needles, making bursts of whistling sounds.
Fortunately, this rock was flat enough. Standing on it, the sound of the wind was frightening, but it was actually blocked by the rock.
Chu Zhiyuan came to this rock, where a white jade round cushion had already been placed.
After sitting on it, a warm air immediately surged up, as if sitting in a hot spring.
This jade cushion was made of warm jade.
Chu Zhiyuan turned his head and glanced at the two people standing not far away, frowning: "Are you going to guard me all the time?"
"Yes," the two nodded solemnly.
Chu Zhiyuan snorted and shook his head, closing his eyes.
The emperor's trust in him was zero, and he had actually sent people to watch him.
Of course, the original owner did like to act shamelessly, agreeing to things but then messing them up.
After closing his eyes, he slowly opened his extrasensory perception, the range of illumination first inside his body, then outside, expanding outwards little by little.
While expanding the range of illumination, he concentrated on sensing, and once he perceived danger, he would immediately withdraw his extrasensory perception.
After coming to this world, he had been cautious about using extrasensory perception to avoid causing trouble.
The range of illumination expanded further and further, from ten meters to a hundred meters, to a thousand meters, to ten thousand meters.
He finally understood that this Great Bright Peak was actually suspended in the void.
Within the range of extrasensory perception, he could not see the end of the horizontal plane; the Great Bright Peak was more immense than he had imagined.
But he saw that below the mountain was the void, and above the mountain was the void.
The Great Bright Peak was suspended in the void, just like the Profound Yin Palace.
He speculated that the Great Bright Peak was located in a higher void than the Profound Yin Palace because he did not see any white clouds around it.
There was only a round sun shining diagonally.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly thought of the visualization diagram.
Wasn't this scene in front of him exactly what the Great Bright Visualization Method visualized?
In the Great Bright Visualization Method, the mountain was lush and green, not a snow peak.
He decided to try using this Great Bright Peak as the visualization diagram.
He formed a hand seal and began to adjust his breathing, forming a strange rhythm and cadence, his extrasensory perception constantly staring at the scene of the sun shining on the Great Bright Peak.
The surging, pure spiritual energy poured straight into his Baihui acupoint, transforming into an even purer aura after circulating within the meridians at a speed and momentum that he could not have imagined, and rushing into the Yin-Yang Fish.
The Yin-Yang Fish immediately spun at a much greater speed, several times faster than usual.
His spirits lifted.
It really worked!
He visualized the Great Bright Peak and the sun, replacing the Great Bright Visualization Method, and the consumption of mental energy was almost zero.
The surrounding spiritual energy was purer and more abundant, far surpassing that in the Prince's residence.
The speed at which spiritual energy entered his body, and the speed at which the Yin-Yang Fish rotated, were even faster, also far surpassing that in the Prince's residence.
He unknowingly became completely immersed in it, without eating or drinking, until the setting sun shone on the snow peak, and the last ray of sunset disappeared, and the sun completely set, that he stopped practicing.
The two young men were steaming with heat all over their bodies, driving away the cold.
After the sun disappeared, the Great Bright Peak was shrouded in darkness, becoming even colder.
Chu Zhiyuan's aura was surging all over his body, and he did not feel cold at all.
He vaguely felt that if he practiced for another ten days, he should be able to break through to the fifth level.
Practicing on this Great Bright Peak was truly incredibly fast.
Especially visualizing the Great Bright Peak instead of the Great Bright Visualization Method, the effect was extraordinary.
After a day of visualization, his spirit was still strong, without any sense of exhaustion.
He felt that he could continue to use the Great Bright Visualization Method to cultivate.
Visualize the Great Bright Peak during the day, and use the Great Bright Visualization Method at night, connecting them together, and the speed of cultivation will be even faster.
"Ninth Prince, it's time to go back," the round-faced young man reminded softly.
Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes and looked at him impatiently.
A bright moon had already risen.
Chu Zhiyuan looked up at the bright moon, pondering the Great Bright Visualization Method.
The Great Bright Visualization Method visualized the sun; what if it was changed to the bright moon?
He felt a chill in his heart, a feeling of danger emerging.
The visualization method must not be easily changed, lightly causing Qi deviation and heavily causing the body to explode and die.
Previously, he didn't feel any danger when he changed to visualizing the Great Bright Peak, but now, as soon as he thought of changing it to the bright moon, there was great danger.
…
"Ninth Prince…" The two men looked pleading.
Chu Zhiyuan snorted: "You two unlucky fellows, did you offend a colleague, or did you offend Wei Boyuan?"
This errand was not a good errand.
Chu Liezhao's temper was violent, and he would often beat and scold.
As Inner Court Guards, they could neither beat nor scold this Ninth Prince, and could only endure it.
Therefore, almost everyone did not want to take this errand, and they were the two unlucky fellows.
The two men's expressions changed slightly.
"Hmm, it seems that you offended Wei Boyuan. How about this, go to my residence to be guards, and no matter how arrogant he is, he can't control my residence."
"This…" The two men looked at each other.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Wei Boyuan is currently selecting guards for my residence these days. You might as well recommend yourselves. Wei Boyuan wouldn't dare to stop you."
"Your Highness, allow us to think about it," the round-faced young man said hesitantly.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "The opportunity is rare, don't miss it, let's go."
He floated away from the cliff, heading down the mountain.
After walking about a hundred meters, he suddenly heard the sound of hunting wind behind him. He turned his head to look and saw three young men whistling towards him.
Chu Zhiyuan frowned slightly.
The one leading was a heroic young man, with a dignified appearance and a solemn expression.
On the left and right were two young men, one chubby, with a tyrannical look between his eyebrows, and the other exceptionally handsome, with a smile on his face.
He recognized the heroic young man in the lead as the Fourth Prince, Chu Liexi.
Five years ago, the Fourth Prince he had beaten up badly here.
