There was no impermeable wall under the sky, and this great battle soon spread throughout the Green Dragon Market Realm.
“Zhang Ruochen rushed to the Green Dragon Dynasty and struck again, leading a powerful battle team that defeated the Ghost Cultivating Ancient Clan and Corpse Catching Ancient Clan, seizing countless heavenly treasures.”
This piece of news spread out like a great earthquake, sweeping towards all forces.
According to the news, Zhang Ruochen had only led a mere handful of people from the district to overwhelm the two Ancient Clans and take away the treasures that the two Ancient Clans had collected.
One must know that both the Corpse Catching Ancient Race and the Ghost Raising Ancient Race were quite powerful, and the alliance they had formed was considered one of the most powerful alliances of the human race in the Kunlun Realm.
However, such a powerful alliance was crushed by several people led by Zhang Ruochen, how could it not surprise people?
Was Zhang Ruochen already that strong?
The great powers that wanted to compete for the World Spirit all felt scorn. Once Zhang Ruochen joined the competition for the World Spirit, their chances would become even smaller.
A quasi-saint of the Ghost Nurturing Ancient Clan appeared on the outskirts of the royal capital and uttered these words, “Zhang Ruochen is as sharp as a sword coming out of its sheath, his sharpness is clear, his attainments in sword dao have probably already surpassed the Xue Wuyi, his attainments in spiritual power may have already surpassed the Yearning Cold, and the strength of his flesh body can forcefully suppress the Standing Ground Grandmaster and the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon, there are no longer any beings under the Saint realm who are his rivals. ”
In just one sentence, four great enemies were set up for Zhang Ruochen.
The cultivators of the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan knew very well that with their own strength, they could not possibly be a match for Zhang Ruochen, and thus, they also spared no effort in stirring up trouble, wanting to use the sword to kill others.
A person establishes a name and sets up a shadow.
Other than the very few worldly masters who were indifferent to fame and fortune, who could not care about their reputation at all?
Xue Wuye was a descendant of the Sword Emperor, claiming to be the Kunlun Realm’s number one sword dao wizard, and had the honourable status of a Realm Son, but now there were people who claimed that Zhang Ruochen’s attainments in sword dao were above his.
How would Xue Wuyi feel?
Born in the Qin Sect, one of the four sacred places of Confucianism, Age Cold was claimed to be the best of both worlds in qin and sword, with a spiritual talent that could rival that of the Emperor of Wen from 800 years ago, and with an absolute advantage in the examination for the New Section Scholarship, he had become the most sought-after rising star in the First Central Empire’s courtroom.
Now, someone actually claimed that Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power attainments had surpassed his.
How would Yearning Cold feel?
Nowadays, under the Saint Realm, the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon and the Standing Earth Master had the most powerful physical body strength, and all living beings were expecting them to explode into an earth-shattering battle to separate a winner from a loser.
Now, it turned out that someone had claimed that Zhang Ruochen’s fleshly body strength could power over the Heaven Devouring Demon Dragon and the Earth Establishment Master.
Even though, Snowless Night, Yearning Cold, Grandmaster Standing Earth, and Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon didn’t care about the opinions of outsiders, but what about those below them? Would they also not care?
The cultivators of the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan probably thought that just a single provocative word was not enough to kill Zhang Ruochen.
Thus, on that very day, the princess of the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan, Feng Yinchan, appeared on the outskirts of the royal capital and said, “Zhang Ruochen’s temperament has changed drastically, becoming cruel and murderous, in order to seize the heavenly treasures in an ancient city, he even went so far as to kill unarmed indigenous humans in the ancient city, enough for nearly a million indigenous races to die, with the corpses piling up into a mountain, and the picture was simply horrific to see. ”
Feng Yin Cicada’s words set off a huge storm.
Not only were the human cultivators in the Kunlun Realm in an uproar, even the indigenous powerhouses in the king’s capital were greatly enraged.
It was true that the savage beast clans and the Immortal Blood Clan had gone on a killing spree in the Green Dragon Market Realm, turning a city into a slaughterhouse.
However, the indigenous humans of the Green Dragon Market Realm were also a branch of the Human Race.
The major forces of the human race in the Kunlun Realm didn’t want to get the reputation of “slaughtering their own kind”, fearing that they would be condemned by the hostile forces back in the Kunlun Realm.
Therefore, they all exercised restraint and did not kill ordinary humans, nor did they create a massacre.
Now, Zhang Ruochen had even transformed into a bloodthirsty demon, not only laying hands on ordinary people, but also slaughtering a city.
It was truly heartless.
“Zhang Ruochen dared to slaughter a city in the Green Dragon Market Realm, so he will definitely intensify his actions when he returns to the Kunlun Realm.”
“Zhang Ruochen is now a complete devil, being able to get rid of him in the Green Dragon Market Realm, we absolutely cannot let him go back to the Kunlun Realm.”
……
Forces that had grudges against Zhang Ruochen jumped out one after another, stirring up trouble, drawing the crowd’s emotions, and pouring dirty water on Zhang Ruochen.
Feng Yinchan was naturally happy to see this scene, who told Zhang Ruochen to offend too many people?
Roughly three hundred miles away from the royal capital, there was a camp where all of the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect’s cultivators had gathered.
When Mu Lingshi heard the rumours from the outside world, she was the first to step out of the camp and stood up to Feng Yinchan, shouting across the air, “Your Ghost Raising Ancient Clan suffered a big loss at the hands of Zhang Ruochen, and knowing that you are not his match, you want to incite other forces to come together to deal with Zhang Ruochen?”
Feng Yincicada stood on top of a mountain peak and responded, saying, “This time, our Ghost Raising Ancient Clan did indeed fall flat on its face, and all of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that we had collected were all taken away by Zhang Ruochen. However, this princess is also a person of status and will not slander him.”
Feng Yinchan was deliberately saying that Zhang Ruochen had taken away the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan.
After all, no matter how much they provoked and incited, it was actually not as touching as a huge treasure.
As the saying goes, “A man is not guilty of a crime, but a man is guilty of a sin.”
In reality, the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan didn’t lose anything, Zhang Ruochen merely took away the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan had collected.
Mu Lingshi didn’t believe Feng Yinchan’s words at all and said, “Not long ago, Zhang Ruochen blocked nineteen beast kings at the base of Winning Sand City with his own strength, reversing the course of the world in one fell swoop and saving an unknown number of human cultivators. Now you’re saying that he’s bloodthirsty and slaughtered a city. Who would believe that?”
It didn’t take long for Feng Yinchan to respond once again, saying, “At the Winning Sand City military base, what Zhang Ruochen did was indeed considered a forceful and praiseworthy act. However, when this Princess met him not long ago, he had changed his temperament drastically and was completely different from before, and it is very likely that he went off the rails from cultivating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.”
Cultivating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm and becoming obsessed?
Feng Yin Cicada did not just make up a lie off the top of his head, but only said so after careful thought.
After all, in the history of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dao, examples of people who had gone mad from cultivating the Dragon Image Prajna Palm abounded.
The Deadly Zen Old Ancestor was the best example.
Six hundred years ago, Old Ancestor Deadly Chan was a supreme genius of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dao, with an upright character and profound Buddhist teachings, and many people thought that he would definitely be able to become the second Buddha Emperor in the future.
However, when Old Ancestor Deadly Chan cultivated the eleventh palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm to its great completion, he could not suppress the masculine energy in his body and eventually went mad.
Later, he rebelled from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dao and founded the Deadly Zen Sect, creating endless killings in the Kunlun Realm, which could be called a calamity in the history of the human race.
The higher the talent, the more destructive the person would be when they stepped onto the evil path.
“Could it be that Zhang Ruochen is going to turn into the second Deadly Zen Elder Ancestor?”
“I’m afraid it’s even more terrifying than the Deadly Zen Old Ancestor.”
“It is said that Zhang Ruochen has already cultivated the tenth palm of the Dragon Image Prajna Palm to a great success, so it is not certain that an accident really happened when he was cultivating the eleventh palm.”
“Zhang Ruochen seized the heavenly treasures collected by the Ghost Nurturing Ancient Clan and the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan, and he definitely has a huge amount of wealth in his grasp. If, we are able to seize it …… hehehe.”
……
Many people chose to believe Feng Yinchan, after all, Feng Yinchan’s status in the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan was very high, as a princess, she would most likely inherit the position of the clan leader in the future.
Such a big shot, generally speaking, would not fabricate facts out of thin air.
Furthermore, the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan and the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan had already submitted to the imperial court not long ago, and were considered half official forces. This also made Feng Yinchan’s words a little more convincing.
Although Mu Lingshi didn’t believe Feng Yinchan’s words, she was still quite worried about Zhang Ruochen, fearing that he would really go overboard while cultivating the eleventh palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm and fall into a situation of no return.
She desperately hoped that Zhang Ruochen would appear soon to break the rumours spread by Feng Yinchan.
However, after waiting for several days in a row, she did not see Zhang Ruochen rush to the royal capital, causing Mu Lingshi’s heart to sink to the bottom.
The rumours spread stronger and stronger, and the cultivators of the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan were running around in the dark, provoking the people to surround Zhang Ruochen and seize the treasures on him.
Ten days later, the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon led dozens of savage beast clans and arrived at the outskirts of the royal capital, hearing the news about Zhang Ruochen, he immediately spoke, “If Zhang Ruochen comes to the royal capital, this seat will be the first one to take action to suppress him. Wanting to power over this seat, he is not worthy yet.”
On the same day, Grandmaster Lidi also rushed to the outskirts of the royal capital and recited a Buddhist chant, “If it’s true that Scholar Zhang has gone off the deep end because of his cultivation of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm and slaughtered unarmed indigenous humans, the poor monk will step in to bring him back to Brahma Heavenly Dao.”
The royal capital of the Green Dragon Dynasty was the place where the spiritual veins of the Green Dragon Ruins Realm met, and it was also the strongest city fortress in the entire Ruins Realm, so even with the power of the Saint Realm, it was impossible to break it down.
A large portion of the top indigenous powerhouses of the Green Dragon Ruins Realm were now gathered in the royal capital.
A Seven Dragon Martial Exalt from the indigenous people stood above the city wall, claiming that he would behead Zhang Ruochen to avenge the dead people.
At this stage, the various forces of the Kunlun Realm were unable to break through the royal capital, so they could only temporarily station themselves on the outskirts and wait for the great change in heaven and earth. At that time, the royal capital’s protective formation would automatically collapse.
In recent times, the Green Dragon Market Realm had often experienced great earthquakes, forming a crack that divided mountains and rivers. Some famous mountains with beautiful scenery gushed out magma, turning the surrounding hundreds of miles, into a dead land.
The Green Dragon Market Realm was already very unstable, and it wouldn’t be long before it completely collapsed.
At that time, the Spirit of the World would also come out.
……
…………
Inside the Scroll World, Zhang Ruochen was in the process of refining the divine blood, charging the thirty-six orifices of his legs and feet with all his might.
The soles of Zhang Ruochen’s feet possessed two divine seals, which took the forms of a green luan and a fire phoenix.
Zhang Ruochen mobilised the power of the divine blood and continuously injected it into the two divine seals. Gradually, the Green Luan Divine Seal and the Fire Phoenix Divine Seal became clearer and clearer, producing the sound of luan and phoenix chiming together.
“Boom boom.”
With the power of the two Divine Seals, Zhang Ruochen flushed open the fourteen orifices of his feet in one go. There were seven orifices on the sole of each foot, arranged according to a kind of star chart structure.
After punching through the fourteen orifices on the soles of the feet, the twenty-two orifices on both legs would be much easier.
Zhang Ruochen continued to absorb divine blood and revolve his blood qi, and it didn’t take long for all thirty-six orifices to be flushed through.
Roughly half a year had passed in the Scroll World.
Zhang Ruochen completely sanctified the thirty-six orifices in both his legs and feet, and his cultivation broke through to the peak of the Eighth Order Half-Saint.
His feet stepped on the ground and he operated the blood qi in his body, and instantly, crimson flames erupted from the seven orifices on the soles of his feet in a steady stream, transforming into two fire clouds.
The form of the fire clouds resembled a green luan and a fire phoenix. Looking from afar, it was as if two ancient divine birds with huge bodies were lying on the ground, slowly holding a human up to the sky.
“Finally cultivating a pair of Saint Legs.”
The corners of Zhang Ruochen’s mouth rose, in an excellent mood, looking extraordinarily satisfied as he secretly said, “Based on physical strength alone, I should also be able to overpower the Sacred Hundred and Twenty-two Orifices’ Prince Qingtian.”
Although Zhang Ruochen had only sanctified one hundred and eight orifices right now, however, with his arms refined with Saint-level Dragon Souls and Elephant Souls, and his feet integrated with the Green Luan Divine Seal and the Fire Phoenix Divine Seal, his fleshly strength would only be even more powerful than Prince Qing Tian.
