There were rumbling sounds coming out of the Abandoned Deep Sea. It was like thunder, making the water in Yin and Yang Ocean tumble.
Those creatures were too powerful. If Zhang Ruochen and the others were still in the Abandoned Deep Sea, the after-waves from the fight could annihilate them.
“Who can get Divine Dragon Sun and Moon Chaos Tower? If Ancestral Dragon Mountain or the immortal vampire race gets it, the situation in Kunlun’s Field will be drastically changed. The entire human race will be in danger,” Huang Yanchen mumbled.
Qing Mo blinked her eyes and looked to the fiery sky. “I remember that the immortal bird will burn itself to death every five thousand years. Every time it dies, it’s going to be reborn. Blackie might have been an immortal bird before, but after it was reborn, its forces would have been completely different.”
“Immortal bird? Are you saying that fiery and bizarre bird is the legendary immortal bird?” Ao Xinyan was surprised.
Qing Mo nodded and said, “I’ve read about the immortal birds before. I’m sure that it’s an immortal bird.”
After hearing what Qing Mo said, Zhang Ruochen also recalled some of the information he knew about immortal birds.
If that fiery bird was an immortal bird, it might be the flesh of Blackie.
There were so many creatures sealed on the stone bridge, yet it was the only one that had been awakened. There must have been some external force that triggered it. It might have been Blackie’s saint soul entering the body of the bird.
Besides, just as the immortal bird woke up, Zhang Ruochen lost the connection with Blackie, which was too coincidental.
Zhang Ruochen said, “If the immortal bird really is Blackie, it might not be a good thing. Blackie followed my orders before because I have the Universe Spiritual Map to suppress it, and it also needed my strength to find its body. Now, it cut the connection with the Universe Spiritual Map and has such power. Who can suppress it in the future?”
There must have been a reason why Saint Monk Xumi sealed Blackie’s body in Yin and Yang Ocean and the Universe Spiritual Map. That guy was definitely not a good being before. Perhaps it really was someone who killed and endangered everyone.
“It doesn’t matter whether the immortal bird is Blackie or not. To a great being like that, we’re nothing but ants. We need to leave Yin and Yang Ocean as soon as possible to save our lives,” Huang Yanchen said.
All the meridians in Zhang Ruochen’s body had been broken. He couldn’t use the power of the martial way or his body. However, he still had great mind power.
Zhang Ruochen hadn’t given up at all. He kept mobilizing his mind power to build virtual meridians.
They were not real veins, but invisible veins that helped his blood flow. There was some activity in his body structure and constitution.
Human veins were very complicated. There were billions of capillaries. Zhang Ruochen’s mind power was at level fifty-one, so he had already reconstructed ten percent of the meridian system.
Only mind power saints who were stronger could help him build the entire meridian system.
Zhang Ruochen’s meridian system was fragile. He needed to use his mind power to sustain it all the time, otherwise, it would crumble immediately.
Gradually, his skin turned back to its normal color.
He could still stand and walk like a normal monk.
“Please lie down. Don’t try anything now,” Huang Yanchen said.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and shook his head. He took out saint jades and saint stones, starting to establish a transportation formation on the deck of the ancient ghost boat.
“The monks from the imperial government and the immortal vampire race must’ve known that I escaped Abandoned Deep Sea. I can’t fight them now. I have to leave Yin and Yang Ocean as soon as possible.”
Zhang Ruochen was weaker than he thought. He felt tired after only half an hour, and he had to sit down and rest.
Zhang Ruochen then instructed Huang Yanchen and Ao Xinyan to place the saint jades and saint stones. He would only do it himself when he was drawing the space formation inscriptions.
It took them two days to finish the transportation formation. Fortunately, they didn’t run into the people from the immortal vampire race and the imperial government.
The battle in the Abandoned Deep Sea was still not finished. Nobody knew how it was going to end.
Hua.
The space formation started to be operated and gave out gleaming light.
After the light withered away, Zhang Ruochen and the others were still standing in the formation, but they were not on the ancient ghost boat anymore. They came to the edge of Yin and Yang Ocean.
Before entering Yin and Yang Ocean, Zhang Ruochen had established a space transportation formation. It helped them a lot now.
“We should be leaving Yin and Yang Ocean before them. Let’s go,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Without hesitation, Zhang Ruochen and the others went back to the savage barren mountains through the space wormhole.
“Leader, follow me to the Divine Dragon Half-human race. Perhaps there’re saint pills that can help you recover,” Ao Xinyan said.
The Divine Dream Marsh was a holy place where there were lots of rare saint pills. The people from the Divine Dragon Half-human race had been staying in the Divine Dream Marsh. There might be saint pills in the treasury that could help monks rebuild their three meridians.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to give up any hope. He followed Ao Xinyan into the Divine Dream Marsh, to Dragon Spirit Island.
After learning what had happened to Zhang Ruochen, Ao Yi sighed. He used to be a peerless talent who might become an emperor in the future, yet he was so crushed now.
There was no way to heal the three broken meridians.
Ao Yi wasn’t a short-sighted person. He didn’t refuse Zhang Ruochen just because he had lost the potential to become a supreme being.
Ao Xinyan had made a great breakthrough and had become a saint after Yin and Yang Ocean, and she had completely refined her true dragon body.
This was all because of Zhang Ruochen, so the Divine Dragon Half-human race owed him a lot.
Ao Yi gave an order. “Ao Zhan, bring the thousand-year connecting golden lotuses and silver saint vines. Give them to Zhang Ruochen.”
Connecting golden lotuses and silver saint vines were both saint pills that were used to treat meridians and saint meridians. They had grown for ten thousand years, and they had great medicinal power.
Ao Yi was showing sincerity in bringing these two saint pills out.
“Thank you, clan leader,” Zhang Ruochen said.
The two saint pills indeed had the power to connect meridians and saint meridians, however, Zhang Ruochen’s meridians and saint meridians were not broken, but crushed. There wasn’t a single meridian that was intact.
Even if he took the two saint pills, it wouldn’t help him much.
Ao Yi knew that. He said, “That’s all I can do. What other plans do you have for later, Zhang Ruochen? If you don’t have other places to go, just stay here to recover. The Divine Dragon Half-human race isn’t some top-tier power, but it has its ways to protect itself. No one can trespass here.”
Ao Xinyan said, “My grandpa is right, leader. Just stay in the Divine Dream Marsh and heal yourself. I’ll send someone to ask that pill way saint teacher to come here.”
The saint teacher mentioned by the Crazy Alcoholic lived in the north, and it was very far from the Divine Dream Marsh. Ao Xinyan was worried that Zhang Ruochen might run into something dangerous, so she wanted him to stay.
Zhang Ruochen had too many enemies. If they knew that his meridians were crushed, many people would go to kill him.
It was a far distance from the east to the north. No matter how well he hid himself, he might be found.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “I’ll bring you lots of trouble if I stay here.”
Actually, Ao Yi was just doing so because of politeness. He didn’t really want Zhang Ruochen to stay in the Divine Dream Marsh. Zhang Ruochen had too many enemies, Ancestral Dragon Mountain, Nine Li Palace, the immortal vampire race and some other human powers. Each of them had the power to annihilate the Divine Dragon Half-human race.
Zhang Ruochen wanted to leave after noticing this.
Ao Xinyan wanted to convince him to stay again. He stopped her and smiled. “Do you really think I’m useless now, your highness? Relax. Ordinary enemies can’t do anything to me. Besides, I have Yanchen and Qing Mo to accompany me.”
Ao Xinyan knew that she couldn’t convince Zhang Ruochen to stay. She said, “I’ll come with you to the north. I need to heal you no matter what.”
Ao Yi wouldn’t let Ao Xinyan leave easily, as it was too dangerous for her to go to the north with Zhang Ruochen.
Hong Long.
There came a blasting sound from the space wormhole to Yin and Yang Ocean.
The divine dragon palace shook, and there were waves dozens of feet high on the Divine Dream Swamp. The spirit Qi was shaking.
What happened?
“Did those great beings leave Yin and Yang Ocean?”
Zhang Ruochen, Huang Yanchen, Qing Mo and Ao Xinyan walked out of the divine dragon palace. They went to a higher place and looked to the savage barren secret region.
That sound had come from the space wormhole.
A blood-red cloud flew in the sky, and there was a bone altar in the blood-red cloud. Zhong Ying King was standing on the altar, and there were wounds everywhere on his body. He was trying to flee.
“Who injured Zhong Ying King that severely?” Zhang Ruochen was surprised.
With his cultivation, even if Zhong Ying King couldn’t get Divine Dragon Sun and Moon Chaos Tower, it should be easy for him to leave safely. Yet he was crushed, with his bone altar being made rugged.
Did someone seize Divine Dragon Sun and Moon Chaos Tower and activate it?
