Chapter 690 - 686: Bonding with a Master
Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes, concentrating on sensing the area around his hand.
But he could only sense the soft, delicate fabric, nothing else unusual.
Not believing it, he continued to concentrate and sense, even using Super Sensing Illumination.
Chu Zhiyuan firmly believed that Chu Hongming couldn’t discover his Super Sense.
Therefore, he used Super Sense with confidence, discovering that this soft, delicate fabric was indeed different from ordinary fabrics.
The material was exceptionally flexible, and it had a peculiar structure never seen in other fabrics or materials.
He tried to operate and inject a thread of True Yuan, but there was no difference.
True Yuan and the fabric were like water and oil, completely different and unable to merge.
True Yuan could easily pass through the fabric but did not harm it.
At first glance, it seemed normal, but upon careful thought, its peculiarity became apparent.
Other fabrics, when hit by True Yuan like this, were either destroyed or shattered.
But it remained intact, with no change under the impact of True Yuan, like a gentle breeze passing by.
Curious, he mobilized True Yuan to strike again, even stronger, yet still no change.
It seemed insubstantial, allowing True Yuan to pass without any obstruction.
True Yuan seemed to ignore its presence, passing through without harming it.
Chu Zhiyuan frowned.
If it were like this, it certainly was wondrous, but it wasn’t a Treasure Clothes, unable to block True Yuan, merely allowing True Yuan to pass through it and strike the body inside.
In this case, what difference does it make wearing it or not? How could it be called Treasure Clothes?
He finally resorted to his trump card, using the Spirit Summoning Talisman hidden deep in his mind.
...
He opened his eyes.
"Is it not working?" Chu Honglin said disappointedly, then comforted, "This Treasure Clothes hasn’t acknowledged a master for a long time, it seems it’ll be wasted."
Chu Zhiyuan asked, "What’s its origin, why must it acknowledge a master to be worn?"
Right now, wearing it makes no difference, why wear it?
Even the Spirit Summoning Talisman didn’t work.
It’s simply devoid of spirituality, perhaps its spiritual nature has already extinguished.
"Supposedly, it’s a Treasure Clothes handed down from the Divine Race, its spirituality is incomplete, but wanting it to acknowledge a master is still extremely difficult."
"Divine Race..." Chu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but think of the Spiritual Abyss Body Cleansing Record.
"Things of the Divine Race have often become unusable now," Chu Hongming said, "Instead of gathering dust in a corner, why not try it, Zhao’er, you have outstanding insight, most likely to gain its acknowledgment."
Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Father only gives me such Treasure Clothes?... Nothing else?"
"Not at all," Chu Hongming hurriedly said, "I made the decision to let you try this one."
"It’s made with the Flying Moon Cave Heaven’s magic silkworm silk, but the method of clothing making was lost with the disappearance of the Divine Race, making this Treasure Clothes now a unique sound."
Chu Zhiyuan frowned, "Is it truly made by the Divine Race?"
"Probably not false," Chu Hongming said, "Thousands of years ago, many people wanted to try if they could wear it, but in the last thousand years, no one attempted anymore, leaving it forgotten in a corner."
He looked at this white inner robe regretfully, shaking his head, "Such a pity!"
Chu Zhiyuan asked, "What exactly is its use?"
"Supposedly it is impenetrable by blade and gun, impervious to water and fire, a Treasure Clothes in every sense."
"Too exaggerated, making it untrustworthy, seems the legend is false as well."
"True or false, only after acknowledgment by a master can we know," Chu Hongming sighed, "It seems there’s no hope again, I don’t know if I’ll see it acknowledged in my lifetime."
He hurriedly comforted Chu Zhiyuan, "Maybe it’s a problem with the Moon Silkworm Frost Robe itself, perhaps its spirituality has completely disappeared, rendering it unusable."
Chu Zhiyuan pondered, "Uncle, may I take it back and try?"
He’s ultimately not giving up.
"It’s yours now," Chu Hongming waved, "Feel free to take it back and study, just don’t ruin it."
"Of course," Chu Zhiyuan agreed readily.
——
Chu Zhiyuan sat in the pavilion of his small courtyard, the stone table holding the Purple Lacquer Box, inside which was the Moon White Inner Robe.
Precisely the Moon Silkworm Frost Robe.
A Bright Moon hung high in the night sky.
Chu Zhiyuan discovered the Moon Silkworm Frost Robe had changed, unexpectedly absorbing the moonlight.
The cold moonlight was like strands of mist falling upon it.
The moonlight slowly seeped into it, making it crystalline and translucent, gradually disappearing.
Chu Zhiyuan curiously watched it, using Super Sensing Illumination, yet it was still invisible.
It seemed to truly vanish into the Void, merging completely with it.
Chu Zhiyuan continuously used Super Sense to observe; it never reappeared.
An hour later, Chu Zhiyuan decided not to wait any longer, reaching out to touch it.
Reaching out, there was no difference, he couldn’t feel it either.
But the slight sensation on his hand revealed its existence to him.
His hand felt as if it had dipped into clear water; though the water’s temperature was identical to the surroundings, it couldn’t fool his senses.
Chu Zhiyuan grew more interested in the Moon Silkworm Frost Robe.
The triangular Jade Pendant on his forehead suddenly lit up, the next moment he disappeared.
Soon he appeared at Spiritual Abyss’s First Peak.
He stood beside the middle-aged statue, gazing at the drifting white clouds, like mountains, like galloping horses.
Breathing fresh air, feeling the beautiful scenery of the Spiritual Abyss First Peak.
Now, Jade Dynasty’s Imperial City was at night, while here it was morning.
He had already discovered, the timing of Imperial City and Spiritual Abyss First Peak was exactly reversed.
Imperial City was night, here was day; Imperial City was day, here was night.
He found this unsurprising, further proving that Spiritual Abyss Nine Peaks was an independent space, a Grotto Heaven.
He took out the Purple Lacquer Box, retrieved the Moon Silkworm Frost Robe, and gently shook it.
No matter how you looked at it, it seemed just an inner robe, not at all like Treasure Clothes.
A gentle breeze blew in, the Moon Silkworm Frost Robe began to shimmer, flickering continuously.
Spiritual Abyss seemed to charge it, making it increasingly bright.
Soon, it glowed faintly, unexpectedly floating up, moving without wind.
It left his hands, began flying around the entire mountain peak, like a bird, lively and free.
He watched in amazement.
This divine technique indeed had ties with the Divine Race.
Thinking, he quickly stepped, reaching for it mid-air.
He thought with his hand speed he could easily retrieve it back into the Purple Lacquer Box.
Unexpectedly, it actually dodged and avoided his hand.
Chu Zhiyuan didn’t believe it and continued reaching, reaching again, and again.
Yet it still easily evaded.
Super Sense now detected something different inside than outside.
This inner robe was now shrouded in a strange power, blocking his probing.
At the same time, he faintly felt the inner robe come alive, having its own life.
Is this its spirituality?
Able to dodge by itself?
He didn’t believe it, suddenly punching.
The Great Brightness Fist instantly struck it, it suddenly swayed backward, floating back a foot, then continued flying, undisturbed.
Chu Zhiyuan watched it in wonder, quickly delivering several punches.
Strips of white fist power struck it, but it shed them through retreat.
With spirituality, it was no longer impervious to force, but could shed it by itself.
This was truly Treasure Clothes.
Sadly, he couldn’t catch it now; it’s remarkably agile.
Unable to catch it or touch it, how to get its acknowledgment?
He withdrew his mind, the Spirit Summoning Talisman deep within his mind brightened once again.
In the next moment, he felt a lively, light spirituality, roaming freely between heaven and earth.
He opened his mind to it, displaying friendliness and love for this Treasure Clothes, wishing to accompany it forever, relying on each other.
The lively, light spirituality curiously dove in, instantly establishing a connection with him, becoming familiar and close.
Unknowingly, he’d already completed the acknowledgment.
