Zhang Ruochen put away his ten golden wings and slowly landed beside Blood Empress. The unusual Blood Qi from the ancient Blood Spring continued to flow into his body, nourishing his body and strengthening his acupoints.
Compared to before, Zhang Ruochen’s temperament had obviously changed. There was an indescribable nobility in him that made people feel themselves inferior.
The reason was that Zhang Ruochen had activated the bloodline of both the Immovable Wisdom King and Progenitor Bloodximius. He had fused a wisp of their wills into his body.
“Congratulations, senior. Your cultivation has greatly improved. Your bloodline has evolved. You’ve attained ten wings. This is truly rare.” Xue Tu laughed.
He had already become Blood Empress’ disciple, so he was no longer hostile to Zhang Ruochen like he did. It was proper for him to call Zhang Ruochen Senior.
Furthermore, with Zhang Ruochen’s achievements, Xue Tu was indeed impressed. Even though he had inherited the mark of Wargod Bloodflame, he was not on par with Zhang Ruochen.
Under normal circumstances, when an Immortal Vampire attained Supreme Sainthood, they would grow three pairs of wings. Usually, they needed to reach Paramount Realm to grow five pairs of wings.
Of course, there were a few powerful Supreme Saints would grow more than five pairs of wings.
Zhang Ruochen had just reached Neverwilt Realm, and his number of wings was already comparable to that of a Supreme Saint at Paramount Realm. When his cultivation reached Paramount Realm, who knew how many more pairs of wings he would have?
Zhang Ruochen said, “Only ten wings.”
The Progenitor Bloodximius was right in front of him. Who could be proud?
Then, Zhang Ruochen said to Blood Empress, “Mother, the baptism has been completed. I should go back and continue to cultivate in seclusion. I will appear at God-ascension Ceremony.”
“Alright. I should also make some preparations,” said Blood Empress.
As one of the main attention in God-ascension Ceremony, Blood Empress would be busy since the deities of Bloodysky Clan would be there.
Without stopping, Zhang Ruochen left the ancient secret territory.
“Senior, please wait.”
Just as Zhang Ruochen was about to return to his residence, Xue Tu’s voice suddenly sounded.
Zhang Ruochen turned around and looked at Xue Tu. “What do you want?”
Zhang Ruochen really had nothing to say about Xue Tu. After all, there had been a great feud between them, and Zhang Ruochen had almost died at his hands.
Even though Zhang Ruochen could let it go because of Blood Empress, their relationship was not close to that of between senior and junior.
Xue Tu looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. After a while, he said, “Senior, could you return Seamless Purgatory Tower to me?”
Xue Tu knew how Zhang Ruochen treated him, but he could not do anything about it. Seamless Purgatory Tower was too important that he had to take it back.
“You want Seamless Purgatory Tower back? Why do you think I’ll return it to you? It is mine since it has fallen in my hands.
“You’re already a Supreme Saint. I shouldn’t be teaching you this.”
Moon Goddess’ image with her shameless attitude appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s mind, and he learned from her.
Of course, he wasn’t shameless.
What he took from his enemy was what he deserved.
Seamless Purgatory Tower was a Supreme Artifact that had killed deities. Even if it was damaged, its value was still immeasurable.
Xue Tu said, “Senior, you can name your conditions. I will do it if it’s within my ability.”
As a Supreme Saint, Xue Tu had no choice but to compromise.
He did not own Seamless Purgatory Tower. Its true owner was his father, Bloodlucius.
Bloodlucius had given Xue Tu Seamless Purgatory Tower for the time being in the hope that he could make a contribution in Kunlun and seize the treasures left behind by Kunlun deities.
Unexpectedly, Xue Tu had been defeated by Zhang Ruochen in his first battle in Kunlun. He had escaped with serious injuries.
He had finally recovered from his injuries and wanted to seize the treasures left behind by Blood God, but he was suppressed by Xue Lingxian. Seamless Purgatory Tower had also fallen into Zhang Ruochen’s hands.
Thinking of this, Xue Tu felt depressed and aggrieved.
He was a son of deity with a noble status. His combat strength was strong wielding a Supreme Artifact. He should have dominated all the battlefields participated by cultivators of ranks below Supreme Sainthood.
He had never thought that things would turn out like this.
No matter what, Xue Tu could not let his father know that Seamless Purgatory Tower had been taken away.
Therefore, before his father came to God-ascension Ceremony, he had to get Seamless Purgatory Tower back.
Zhang Ruochen guessed that the reason Xue Tu wanted Seamless Purgatory Tower back was likely related to Xue Tu’s father.
Other than the cultivators of Kunlun, how could cultivators of other Macroworlds below Supreme Sainthood have a Supreme Artifact?
The number of Supreme Artifacts in Kunlun far exceeded the number of Supreme Saints and deities. That was why it was possible for Saint Kings and Saints in Kunlun to have Supreme Artifacts.
The number of Supreme Saints and deities in other Macroworlds, including Infernal Court, far exceeded the number of Supreme Artifacts. It was normal for Supreme Saints to not have Supreme Artifacts.
The Supreme Artifacts used by Saint Kings on Battlefields of Merits in Kunlun were all temporarily given to them by deities or Supreme Saints. After completing the task, they had to be returned.
“The power of deities is omnipotent. It’s possible that Xue Tu’s father has already predicted that Seamless Purgatory Tower has fallen into my hands.”
Zhang Ruochen thought carefully about all the possibilities. He stared at Xue Tu, who had a bitter look on his face. “It’s not impossible to give you Seamless Purgatory Tower.”
“Really?” Xue Tu was delighted.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Don’t be so happy yet. This is a Supreme Artifact. Do you think I’ll just give it back to you? Help me do something. Once it’s done, we’ll talk.”
“What do you need me to do?” Xue Tu asked quickly.
It was a good thing to have room for discussion. He was really afraid that Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t give him a chance.
Zhang Ruochen said in a low voice, “I’m going to find someone. It’s him.”
As he spoke, Zhang Ruochen released a stream of power and condensed a lifelike projection of a figure. It was Sword Saint Xuanji, who had not been heard since entering Netherworld.
Since Zhuang Ruochen was now in Infernal Court, he wanted to look for Xuanji.
Zhang Ruochen’s relationship with his master Xuanji was close that he had been missing Xuanji since Xuanji’s departure to Netherworld.
He wondered what the old man was doing there.
“Who is he? Where should I find him?” Xue Tu asked.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes darkened. After a long while, he sighed. “He is my master. He died in Netherworld behind Godfall Cryptwoods in Kunlun’s Eastern Region. It is very likely that he has become a Corpusian.”
Zhang Ruochen certainly could not tell Xue Tu realm circumstances about Sword Saint Xuanji.
Hearing this, Xue Tu frowned, “The Netherworld of Kunlun is derived from Infernal Court’s Sanzu River . When a cultivator enter Infernal Court through it, it is hard to say which region they will reach. It won’t be easy to look for him.”
Sanzu River was vast. It flowed in the starry sky and was the origin of Corpusian, Bone clan, and Ghost. It was shrouded in darkness and the aura of death. It was a forbidden land for living beings.
The Immortal Vampires, Asura, and Rakshasa rarely set foot in Sanzu River region.
“If it were easy, I wouldn’t ask you to do it,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Xue Tu smiled bitterly, “Senior, you only suspect that your master has become a Corpusian. You are not certain.
“If his body is still in Sanzu River, how can I find it?
“It’s like finding a needle in a haystack. You are making things difficult for me
“If you really wanted to find your master, you could have asked ask Master to help you. With God’s means, you can easily find out your master’s situation.”
The task was with too little hope, so Xue Tu did not want do it.
If a deity could deduce Sword Saint Xuanji’s whereabout, Sword Saint Xuanji would have died in Infernal Court long ago.
There must be a powerful cultivator who covered up all everything about Sword Saint Xuanji. Zhang Ruochen guessed that there must be a very powerful Kunlun deity who was still alive and stayed hidden in Infernal Court.
“You are a Supreme Saint, yet it’s hard for you to look for someone. I’m dissapointed. I wonder if my mother has made the right decision to take you as her disciple.
“Anyway, I’ve given you the chance. Since you don’t want to take it, give up the idea of recovering Seamless Purgatory Tower,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Hearing this, Xue Tu became anxious. He gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, I’ll go find him. I’ll do my best.”
He could not care less about the dignity of a Supreme Saint.
If he could not get Seamless Purgatory Tower back, his father might be able to do it himself. But his father would definitely be disappointed. by him
“This must be done in secret. No one should know about it,” Zhang Ruochen said seriously.
Then, Zhang Ruochen opened the gate of Qiankun Realm and released someone. It was Lord of Stone whom he had subdued on True Dragon Island.
“Lord of Stone will join you.”
Lord of Stone’s eyes were indifferent. Without saying a word, he walked to Xue Tu’s side and patted him on the shoulder.
Xue Tu did not expect such a powerful figure to exist beside Zhang Ruochen.
He was already a Supreme Saint of Neverwilt Realm and had the mark of Wargod Bloodflame. However, he still felt a lot of pressure when facing Lord of Stone.
‘The number of Supreme Saints, whose cultivation rank is below godhood, was very few. Zhang Ruochen has just become a Supreme Saint. How can he command a Supreme Saint from Stone Clan? We are both Scions, we are both talented, yet the gap between us is big. Why?’ Xue Tu felt very upset.
“Please rest assured, Senior. I will do my best.”
Immediately, Xue Tu took Lord of Stone with him, wanting to complete this mission as soon as possible.
“Master, Where are you? What are you doing?” Zhang Ruochen was full of questions.
In order to ensure elder Xuanji’s safety, Zhang Ruochen had secretly ordered Lord of Stone to kill Xue Tu if Xue Tu had any intention of leaking the news.
If he had not thought about it, why would Zhang Ruochen specially arrange for Lord of Stone to follow Xue Tu?
After watching Xue Tu and Lord of Stone leave the Xue Jue family’s territory, Zhang Ruochen wasted no more time. He directly returned to his residence, restarted Sundial, and continued to cultivate in seclusion.
However, Zhang Ruochen wasn’t in a hurry to refine the dragon and elephant souls he’d bought. Instead, he focused all his attention on practicing his spiritual power.
His powerful spiritual power was completely absorbed into his Saint heart and refined over and over again.
The cultivation of spiritual power was far more difficult than the cultivation of martial arts. A spiritual power Supreme Saint was a rare existence.
Even though his spiritual power had reached the peak of level 59 and was infinitely close to level 60, it was as very difficult to achieve it.
For example, Grand Chamberlain Wang Shiqi, was known as the saint of Confucianism. He was extremely talented, but after practicing for more than 1,000 years, he still could not cultivate his spiritual power to level 60.
With Imperial Ruler, Zhang Ruochen had condensed his spiritual power to the extreme. His quality and quantity had reached the limits of the spiritual power Saint King. Few could compare.
After experiencing the death tribulation, Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual will became even stronger.
The revival of the will of the Immovable Wisdom King king and the ancestor of the Xue Jue family had finally given Zhang Ruochen a chance to break through.
The profound of truth in his body was mobilized to help him break through the 60th level.
Zhang Ruochen had accumulated enough. With the help of the profound of truth, the 60th level naturally could not stop him.
BOOM!
Zhang Ruochen’s saint heart trembled. Countless lightning power flowed over it like spiritual snakes, as if they had life.
After breaking through the level, Zhang Ruochen’s vigorous spiritual power immediately began to compress rapidly, turning into spiritual power thoughts.
Each spiritual power thought was condensed from thousands of spiritual power, and had a qualitative change. In a moment, all of Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power condensed into 500 thoughts.
These thoughts condensed into a human shape and flew in Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Heart.
In front of all the thoughts stood two extremely tall and mighty figures. They were the spiritual wills of Acalanātha sage king and the ancestor of the Xue Jue family, who had entered Zhang Ruochen’s body previously.
Compared to these two spiritual wills, the 500 spiritual power thoughts that Zhang Ruochen had condensed appeared extremely small. They were like 500 ants looking up at two divine dragons.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen could have condensed more spiritual power thoughts, but because of the influence of these two wills, his spiritual power was highly condensed. It was stronger in nature, and the number decreased.
With a thought, Zhang Ruochen released all 500 spiritual power thoughts and turned them into 500 spiritual power clones.
Each spiritual power clone was comparable to a spiritual power saint.
As long as Zhang Ruochen was willing, he could do 500 things at once and let the spiritual power clones do different things.
Of course, he could also let 500 spiritual power clones learn something at the same time. Although the efficiency was only comparable to that of a saint and was far from the learning speed of a Supreme Saint like Zhang Ruochen, it was still quite amazing when stacked together.
There was another great benefit of becoming a spiritual power Supreme Saint and condensing spiritual power thoughts. As long as it was within the range of his spiritual power, he could instantly place his spiritual power clones anywhere, he could also retrieve it in an instant.
“There really is a world of difference between a spiritual power saint and a spiritual power Saint King. Spiritual Power Thoughts can permeate the heaven and earth and communicate with the surrounding Precepts in a deep level. No wonder he can summon souls for people.”Zhang Ruochen was enlightened.
However, with just 500 spiritual power thoughts, he obviously could not summon souls for people. He would probably die from the backlash of the surrounding Precepts before he could recall a few souls.
Soon, Zhang Ruochen calmed down again, sorted out and familiarized himself with the condensed thoughts of spiritual power, and consolidated his cultivation of spiritual power.
His previous accumulation was very strong, so after his breakthrough, his cultivation of spiritual power rose steadily and did not stop growing.
After practicing for 18 years, Zhang Ruochen condensed 3,000 thoughts of spiritual power, which increased six times from the original foundation. Therefore, his cultivation of spiritual power was raised to the mid stage of the 60th level.
Not only that, his cultivation of martial arts had also broken through smoothly and reached the mid stage of Neverwilt Realm.
There were still about 10 days before God-ascension Ceremony, so Zhang Ruochen was not in a hurry to come out of seclusion.
Zhang Ruochen released the space saint phase, time saint phase, sword saint phase, fist saint phase, and acalanātha saintly phase, he comprehended space, time, wordless sword manual, Luo Water Fist technique, and demon suppression respectively.
The three thousand mental energy thoughts turned into three thousand mental energy clones. They cultivated swords, practiced fist techniques, and drew spatial inscriptions. They assisted him in comprehending various techniques.
As for the Palm Dao sacred form, it was left in his body. He wanted to focus on cultivating the thirteenth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna palm.
The Dragon and elephant souls of the hundred-flail realm had been bought back. Naturally, he had to use them.
If he could practice a high-level hundred-flail realm saint spell as soon as possible, it would undoubtedly greatly increase his strength.
For Zhang Ruochen, it was not difficult for him to accommodate two dragon souls and two elephant souls of the hundred-flail realm with his Demigod-level body. It would not hurt his body.
The real difficulty was to control the majestic Yang energy. A slight mistake could lead to Qi deviation.
Practicing the dragon and elephant destruction required a huge amount of yang qi.
Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen had the divine Yang formed by the seven star divine tuber leaves in his body, which could solve the problem of yang qi.
As he absorbed more and more Yang Qi, Zhang Ruochen’s body became hotter and hotter. His skin became red like red-hot gold and iron.
The Divine Dragon Enlightenment Room was extraordinary. It could contain this kind of heat without being damaged and without being detected by the outside world.
When Zhang Ruochen refined the first dragon soul, the Yang energy in his body had reached 700,000 times that of an ordinary person. Every pore in his body was spewing flames, and the Blood Qi in his body was boiling.
After the second dragon soul fused into his arm, the Yang energy was 800,000 times that of an ordinary person. His Qi and blood were as violent as a dragon, almost bursting his body.
The heart-burning flames directly affected Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual will. The pain was indescribable.
RAWWWRRR
After refining the two elephant souls into his arm, Zhang Ruochen could not help but let out a dragon’s Roar and an elephant’s roar. A terrifying Yang fire rose from his body, as if it wanted to burn the heavens.
Along with the Supreme Saint Dragon Soul and the Supreme Saint elephant soul that he had refined in the Saint King Realm, three Dragon Souls and three elephant souls appeared on both sides of Zhang Ruochen. They were extremely solid, as if they had real bodies. They released a powerful aura that could suppress the heavens,
The dragon and elephant souls that he had refined had not been devoured. Zhang Ruochen planned to continue cultivating them and let them grow step by step. This would pave the way for the next step of cultivation.
With the powerful Blood Qi he had now, it wouldn’t take him too long to raise the dragon and elephant souls to the hundred-flail realm.
The second stage of Dragon-Elephant Destruction required refining of five dragon souls and five elephant souls of Thousand-Koan Realm.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation and strength, he did not dare to think about this.
‘Just by practicing Dragon-Elephant Destruction to minor completion, the Yang energy in my body has reached a million times that of an ordinary person. If I practice to Great Perfection, how strong will it be?’ Zhang Ruochen guessed.
Practicing Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike seemed to be a breeze, but in fact, it was extremely dangerous. With his current spiritual will, he almost could not bear it.
If he released all his Yang Qi, it could melt the stars in an instant. Nothing would grow within tens of thousands of miles.
No matter what, Zhang Ruochen had finally practiced Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike into advanced Saint Technique at Hundred-Shackle level. It was the first Hundred-Shackle level technique he had mastered.
Even many Supreme Saints at Hundred-Shackle Realm found it hard to practice one successfully.
