Zhang Ruochen stayed in Yuanxu Mountain Holy Land to refine for a month, and he finally refined the pill Qi of Chongling Saint Pill completely.
His cultivation reached pinnacle Absolute Ground Realm easily.
Zhang Ruochen tried to reach Heaven Pass Realm, but he didn’t succeed.
The gap between Absolute Ground Realm and Heaven Pass Realm was like the gap between the heavens and earth. Zhang Ruochen could feel that he was about to touch the heavens, but there was still something preventing him.
Zhang Ruochen frowned and thought, How am I supposed to reach Heaven Pass Realm?
It was not very easy to make a breakthrough after becoming a saint.
Martial Saint Canglan was also stuck in pinnacle Absolute Ground Realm before, and she made it to Heaven Pass Realm after fighting immortal vampires in Northern Territory.
He had been through many more fights of life or death than Martial Saint Canglan, so his understanding of saintly way was far superior to that of someone in the Heaven Pass Realm, so it should be very easy for him to make it to Heaven Pass Realm.
Why did he fail?
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen smelled some fragrance. He raised his head and saw Mu Lingxi ride beside him.
“This is the Calming Tea I made. Do you want to try it?”
Mu Lingxi handed the jade cup over to Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Are you afraid that I’ll go mad?”
“No.”
Mu Lingxi’s eyes popped, and she said, “This is Calming Tea, and I got the ingredients from Blackie. I picked the leaves from six kinds of saint pills and spent three days making it using the water from Saint Spring. It not only has calming effects but can also improve your cultivation.”
“Only Heaven World has so many resources. On the contrary, it’s almost impossible to find all six of these saint pills in Kunlun’s Field.”
Mu Lingxi knew that Zhang Ruochen’s enemies were almighty, and that he was bearing stress that was unfathomable to others. If it were her, she would’ve given up a long time ago.
Actually, Mu Lingxi was really worried that Zhang Ruochen might go mad.
Zhang Ruochen surely knew where Mu Lingxi was coming from. He smiled and said, “Let’s share such great tea.”
Mu Lingxi was exhilarated seeing Zhang Ruochen smile. “You first.”
Zhang Ruochen picked up the cup, finished half of it, and gave it to Mu Lingxi.
Mu Lingxi finished the rest of the Calming Tea, and suddenly, she seemed to have recalled something. She said, “Some of the half saints and saints from Guanghan Field want to join Yuanxu Mountain Holy Land. Should we admit them?”
“Even saints want to join us?” Zhang Ruochen was a bit surprised.
Mu Lingxi said, “You’ve been refining by yourself, so you certainly don’t know how important a saint land is. Let me give you a lecture on it.”
“By all means.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want Mu Lingxi to be worried, so he tried to act as relaxed as possible.
Mu Lingxi sat down across from Zhang Ruochen, and she covered her legs with the white dress. “There’re only fourteen holy lands in Red Dragon Holy Domain, and each of them was built on a saint meridian. They’re the best places for refining.
“One of the largest saint lands is owned by Supreme Saint Manjian, and he built Red Dragon Saint Palace.
“Only saint kings are qualified to be the owners of saint lands, and under each saint king, there’ll be dozens of, or even hundreds of saints and a huge group of half saints.
“Which is why the refining resources are very scarce in other saint lands, and naturally, many saints and half saints want to join Yuanxu Mountain Holy Land.”
Saint lands were nurtured by saint meridians, so the saint Qi inside was thick. Saint springs could be born inside the mud, and they would breed saint pills, saint stones, and saint jades.
All these resources were what half saints and saints craved.
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “How many saint kings follow Supreme Saint Manjian?”
“Fifteen.”
Mu Lingxi stuck out her tongue and smiled. “Are you surprised?”
“Not really,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Mu Ling said, “Even Moon Worship Demonic Sect, the head of all the seven ancient sects, only has several saint kings. Are you really not surprised at all?”
“The refining environment here is more than ten times better than that in Kunlun’s Field. I expected a lot more than fifteen saint kings.”
Zhang Ruochen stared at Mu Lingxi, the senior sister who was slightly older than him. However, she always looked like a teenage girl, and she looked exquisite when she smiled as if she were his junior sister.
Mu Lingxi blushed and said, “What are you looking at?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “I’m thinking about why I would have trespassed on Peakless Mountain to break up the wedding on the seventh day. That was too impulsive and reckless, and that didn’t even seem like me.”
“Then why?”
Mu Linxi was a bit nervous.
Zhang Ruochen smiled, shook his head and said, “Lingxi, you’re very gifted, and you have the complete ice phoenix ancient saint body. You’re destined to achieve greatness in the future. Do you want me to find you a great master?”
Mu Lingxi was smart enough to understand what Zhang Ruochen meant. “Do you want to send me away? Don’t even think about it. I was supposed to marry Qiu Yu, the spiritual root of Kunlun’s Field. I was supposed to dominate the world, and now you’re going to leave me behind after seizing me?”
Zhang Ruochen looked serious and said, “My enemy is a God. If you follow me, you might end very badly. Are you sure you don’t want to think about it?”
“No need to think about it. I won’t be able to marry anyone anymore,” Mu Lingxi said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “If you can’t find someone to marry, then nobody else can.”
“It’s not about what I want, it’s that no one dares marry me. What if you come and snatch me again?” Mu Lingxi said, determined to stick with Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen was rendered speechless. He said, “No matter. Just refine with me from now on. You’ll be in charge of Yuanxu Mountain Saint Land, and you can use all the refining resources in the holy land. As for the saints and half saints who want to join us, you never know their true intentions, so you don’t need to give a damn about them.”
After all the arrangements, Zhang Ruochen took off for Red Dragon Saint Palace to ask Supreme Saint Manjian about refining. He wanted to know what he was supposed to do to make it to Heaven Pass Realm.
Red Dragon Saint Palace was ten thousand miles away from Yuanxu Mountain Saint Ground.
Ten thousand miles was nothing in Kunlun’s Field. It’d take Zhang Ruochen less than half an hour to get there.
And it would be quicker if he used spatial move.
However, he wasn’t able to do that in Heaven World. Zhang Ruochen had tested it and found that his speed couldn’t even reach one-third of the speed of sound here, yet he was originally as fast as absolute saints.
The space structure in Heaven World was incredibly steady, so Zhang Ruochen couldn’t even perform spatial move. Even if he used all his strength, he could only move to around ten feet away.
In the end, Zhang Ruochen asked Blackie to fly him to Red Dragon Saint Palace.
There was a large group of half saints and dozens of saints gathering outside Yuanxu Mountain Saint Land. As they saw Zhang Ruochen riding Blackie, they started to talk.
“That has got to be the owner of Yuanxu Mountain Holy Land. Can’t believe he’s so young.”
“He’s riding an owl saint beast. He’s got to be somebody.”
Hearing the term ‘owl saint beast,’ Blackie was indignant. It shook its body and almost dived. It yelled, “I’m an immortal bird.”
Whoosh!
Blackie’s body bulged, and fire came out, releasing stronger and stronger saintly way forces.
The half saints and saints were all intimidated.
They only started to talk again after Blackie and Zhang Ruochen had disappeared. “What an incredible owl saint beast. Is it a saint king?”
“The owner of Yuanxu Mountain Saint Land has got to be someone big if even his ride is a saint king. Perhaps he’s a child of Supreme Saint Manjian.”
…
Zhang Ruochen said while sitting on Blackie’s back, “Are you an owl? Or a cat? Or an immortal bird?”
“Of course, I am the invincible immortal bird. If it weren’t for Xumi, I wouldn’t have become like this,” Blackie said.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “What happened to you?”
Blackie said, “I used to be an immortal bird, but a hundred thousand years ago, that Xumi sealed my body in Yin and Yang Ocean and made the weapon spirit of the Universe Spiritual Map using my saint soul.
“I don’t know what kind of kinky things Xumi was into, but he made the weapon spirit into the shape of a cat.
“You know that when immortal birds are dying, we can choose to reincarnate, during which our body will be burnt into ashes and we can form any kind of body we want after that.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Are you saying you were thinking about a body that was half immortal bird and half cat?”
“Absolutely not.”
Blackie said, “I wanted to form the most overbearing immortal bird body. Unfortunately, I failed to perfectly control my mind and became something like this.”
“It’s all Xumi’s fault, making me be a cat for a hundred thousand years. Otherwise I wouldn’t have formed a cat head in the end.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “What about the saintly way forces? When you release them, the saint might is stronger than that of supreme saints.”
“I’ve always been very powerful and omnipotent,” Blackie said.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “Really? Then let’s have a fight. If I defeat you, then you’ll be my ride forever. How about that?”
Blackie felt a bit scared as it didn’t dare fight Zhang Ruochen. It said, “Okay! To tell you the truth, I was hit by that Dragon Sun Moon Mix, and there’s a leftover force of the godly weapon left in my body. Even after I was reincarnated, I still couldn’t dissolve the force of that godly weapon, so the power in my body is in chaos.
“When I refine the leftover force of that godly weapon and control it, I’ll revert back to my pinnacle state. I’ll be able to kill hundreds of beings like Supreme Saint Manjian.”
Zhang Ruocvhen asked, “Who’s that blonde-haired man with dragon horns?”
Blackie said, “That’s a person of taboo, and he’s not someone we can mess with. I managed to escape Yin and Yang Ocean because he didn’t want to kill anyone, otherwise, anyone who entered that place would have been killed.”
“Anyone?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“Right, anyone.”
Blackie said, “I remember Xumi said that Kunlun’s Field was ranked top ten on the ‘Thousand Field Merits Rank’ a hundred thousand years ago, and it had many Gods guarding the field, much more powerful than Guanghan Field.
“I didn’t even know about Heaven World before, and I didn’t know what the rank means until now.”
Zhang Ruochen was shocked, and he said, “Kunlun’s Field was ranked top ten a hundred thousand years ago? How powerful was it?”
Blackie said, “Which is why there’s actually a lot in Kunlun’s Field you don’t know about. There’s a lot of forbidden stuff and places. Yin and Yang Ocean is one of them.”
After half a day, Zhang Ruochen and Blackie arrived in Red Dragon Saint Palace.
