Immediately after that, Sun Dadi recounted what he had seen and heard on the outskirts of the royal capital, getting more and more furious the more he spoke. At that time, if Zhao Shiqi hadn’t stopped him, it wasn’t certain that he would have already killed the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan and dismantled Feng Yinchan.
Zhao Shiqi was also very annoyed and said, ”That stinking b*tch Feng Yinchan, who looks like a flowery-looking woman, but is actually full of mischief, even planted the massacre on the Sovereign, and also went around in the King’s Capital stirring up right and wrong, wanting to make enemies for the Ming Sect. Sovereign, this matter can’t just be left alone, she must be made to pay the price.”
Zhang Ruochen’s finger, gently stroked his chin without much emotional fluctuation and said, “Saying that I’m a bloodthirsty devil who also snatched away the heavenly treasures collected by the Ghost Nurturing Ancient Clan …… Well, not bad, in that case, there are bound to be quite a number of greedy fellows who will come to kill me, which is a good thing. ”
Sun Dadi and Zhao Shiqi were both stunned, not expecting Zhang Ruochen to have such an attitude. To be surrounded and killed by countless living beings was actually a good thing?
Sun Dadi stretched out a hand and tried to touch Zhang Ruochen’s forehead, saying, “Boss, you can’t be confused by anger, right?”
Zhang Ruochen gently shook his head and asked a rhetorical question, saying, “Has there been any result to what I arranged for you guys to do?”
“Looking for the altar?”
“It is this matter.”
Zhang Ruochen had long guessed that the royal capital of the Green Dragon Dynasty was not that easy to break through, and wanting to occupy the royal altar in the royal capital city was obviously not an easy task.
Hence, he had specially instructed Sun Dadi and Zhao Shiqi to inquire and search, outside the royal capital city, if there was a suitable altar. Even if the altar was slightly smaller, it didn’t matter, as long as it was close enough to the World Spirit.
The kind of unknown Sacred Pill that Little Black had refined still needed a sacrifice before it could be fully formed.
Zhang Ruochen was also preparing to make use of that kind of Holy Dan to impact the Ninth Order Half-Saint realm.
Zhao Shiqi said respectfully, “According to the Patriarch’s request, my subordinate used his spiritual power to probe, and on the outskirts of the royal capital, I did spot two altars.”
“The first altar is slightly smaller, it is the altar at the Destiny Dragon Pass to the north of the royal capital, roughly ten feet in diameter and five feet tall.”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “The altar is too small, and even if a sacrifice is performed, it would be difficult to gain the approval of the World Spirit of the Green Dragon Market Realm. What about the second altar?”
Zhao Shiqi continued, “The second altar, located at the top of Dragontop Mountain to the south of the royal capital, is an ancient altar. My subordinate captured an indigenous cultivator and used a secret technique to search his memory and learnt some information about the ancient altar.”
“That ancient altar was once a place of heavenly sacrifice for an ancient kingdom in the Green Dragon Market Realm, and as history changed and dynasties changed, the place was gradually abandoned.”
“My subordinate personally went to Dragontop Mountain once to inspect it, and the ancient altar was indeed quite massive, a magnificent project. However, it has been abandoned there for too long, and the main body of the altar is covered by earth and rocks, and I don’t know if it can still be used.”
Little Black jumped out and said, “Choose there, even if the altar has been partially damaged, this Emperor is still certain that he can restore it again.”
Zhang Ruochen stood up and said, “Since that’s the case, it’s decided. Everyone will cultivate for three days in the Picture Scroll World, prepare for the battle with all their might, and three days later, head to Dragon Peak Mountain.”
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen’s gaze stared over towards Sun Dadi and Zhao Shiqi and said, “The two of you don’t need to participate in the competition for the World Spirit this time, so stay in the Touhou World and cultivate, and make every effort to raise your cultivation realm.”
“Why?”
Sun Dadi’s body was boiling with battle intent, eager to participate in the battle.
Comparatively speaking, Zhao Shiqi was a bit more sophisticated and guessed the reason for this, so his lips moved and secretly transmitted a voice to Sun Dadi.
“So that’s how it is.”
Sun Dadi nodded with a dawning realisation and said, “Don’t worry, Boss, I can also perform the means of change and won’t expose my true identity.”
“Puffing.”
Sun Di Di’s hands were tightly cupped together, strands of crimson flames surged out from his body, his body gradually grew taller and taller, growing until it reached a height of roughly three metres before stopping, and immediately after, a single red long hair grew out, completely covering his body.
In an instant, he unexpectedly transformed into a Flame Giant Spirit Monkey.
Of course, Sun Dadi controlled the flames on his body quite exquisitely and didn’t leak out, otherwise, the entire restaurant building would have already gone up in smoke.
Sun Dadi was originally a spirit monkey and half-human race, his body not only had the bloodline of a human, but also had the bloodline of a fire spirit monkey, being able to change into an ape was not a difficult task.
Changing into a flaming giant spirit monkey, the aura radiating from Sun Dadi’s body also became wild, brutal, and full of hostility, very much like a Fire Spirit Monkey that grows in the barbaric secret realm all year round.
Where was there any human appearance left?
“Alright! Since you are able to change into a Flame Giant Spirit Monkey, then, count you in.”Zhang Ruochen said.
For the next three days, there were still three days left, and everyone was actively preparing for the battle.
Zhang Ruochen once again came to the bottom of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood and sat down on the ground, taking out a large pile of holy stones and placing them in the four directions of his body.
Zhang Ruochen’s Qi Sea was more than ten thousand times more expansive than other cultivators.
However, the vast majority of the Saint Qi was in the gaseous state, and only a very small portion of it, condensed into Half-Saint True Liquid, forming a small pool of True Liquid.
Even so, Zhang Ruochen’s total amount of holy qi was more than ten times that of other cultivators, which was completely sufficient for general fighting.
The next, however, was to face a series of vicious battles, and it was necessary to store more holy qi in order to sustain it.
“Condensation.”
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and operated his gong method, continuously condensing the Saint Qi in his Qi Sea into drops of radiant and crystalline Semi-Saint True Liquid.
It took roughly one cubic metre of Saint Qi to condense one drop of Semi-Saint True Liquid.
Soon, Zhang Ruochen converted all the holy qi in his body into Half-Saint True Liquid, forming a dense lake of True Liquid in the Qi Sea, occupying roughly one-thousandth of the space of the Qi Sea.
Subsequently, Zhang Ruochen lifted his arms and opened all 108 orifices in his body completely, operating the Nine Heavenly Bright Emperor Sutra to the extreme and absorbing the holy qi from the holy stone with all his might.
Absorbing the holy qi into the sea of qi, it was quickly transformed into Half Saint True Liquid, like a rain of True Liquid, falling into the dense True Liquid lake.
Three days passed.
The True Liquid Lake in the Qi Sea occupied roughly one percent of the space of the Qi Sea.
Zhang Ruochen reopened his eyes and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, “In the Xuanji Realm, to purchase a drop of Half-Saint True Liquid, one would have to spend 100,000 silver coins, and it would still be difficult to buy it in a remote place like the Heavenly Demon Ridge. Right now, my body, however, contains a lake of Half-Saint True Liquid.”
Only Half-Saints who were down and out to the extreme still had the go ahead to sell the Half-Saint True Liquid, ordinary Half-Saints simply didn’t bother to do that.
Although Zhang Ruochen’s condensed Semi-Saint True Liquid only took up one percent of the entire Qi Sea, it was already more than a hundred times that of any other cultivator, and even if he fought for ten days and ten nights, he didn’t have to worry about running out of holy qi.
Zhang Ruochen roughly calculated that it would take at least a year to store the Half Saint True Liquid to full capacity in the Qi Sea.
Wasting a year’s time to store Half Saint True Liquid was obviously something that was unnecessary, at least Zhang Ruochen had no intention of relying on selling Half Saint True Liquid for wealth.
Zhang Ruochen had already reached his full strength, so he brought along the Great Sikong, the Second Sikong, Yellow Smoke Dust, Qing Mo, Princess Baili, Sun Dadi, Xiao Hei, Murong Yue, and the six high-ranking Semi-Saints of the Murong Family out of the Diagram Scroll World and prepared to rush towards the Dragon Peak Mountain.
It was worth mentioning that in the picture scroll world, Xiao Hei had picked a large number of holy pills and added them to the Holy Source Spirit Spring to refine a cultivation-enhancing elixir.
For other cultivators, swallowing a holy medicine would probably be able to raise one realm.
The elixir that Little Black had refined naturally had a much more powerful medicinal power.
The Great Sikong and the Second Sikong took a dozen of pills and simultaneously passed through the second Paramount Sacred Tribulation.
The two of them had quite a special system and were completely unafraid of the lightning tribulation, and only when their cultivation level broke through the limit, they immediately began to cross the tribulation without any qualms.
Huang Yichen had transited the first Quasi-Saint Tribulation.
Princess Baili and Sun Dadi’s cultivation, reaching the peak of the first Quasi-Saint Tribulation, didn’t dare to easily attempt to cross the second Quasi-Saint Tribulation.
Murong Yue had made the most progress and had already cultivated to the peak of the ninth ranked Quasi-Saint.
Other than that, the six high-ranking Half-Saints of the Murong Family had all reached the realm of Ninth Order Half-Saints, and Murong Zhanfeng, who had the deepest cultivation, had even crossed the First Para-Saint Tribulation.
Xiao Hei had some pills left over there, but Zhang Ruochen did not take them.
He had refined too much divine blood and his physique had changed so much that taking normal pills would not be able to break through the realm, and even if he did, it would not have much effect.
“With our current formation, it’s enough to sweep everything in the Green Dragon Market Realm.”
Sun Dadi looked spirited, holding an iron rod, his body burning with a blazing flame.
Zhang Ruochen wasn’t as optimistic and said, “I have to remind you all once again, there are about ten Indigenous Saints in the King’s Capital City, this fight for the World Spirit will be quite dangerous, it’s very likely that someone will fall, it’s not too late to withdraw.”
“As long as we can seize the Spirit of the World and allow the Touhou World to evolve into the Qiankun Realm, we will not regret it even though we die.”
The crowd’s morale was high and they appeared extraordinarily excited, without a trace of fear.
As long as the Qian Kun Realm could be born out, they would be the pioneers of a world, what a great honour was this?
To be able to participate in it was an honour.
Zhang Ruochen did not hide anything from them and had told them everything long ago. How they chose was all up to their own will.
“Good, now, let’s go to Dragon Top Mountain.”
Zhang Ruochen was also spirited as he rode on the back of the Mistletoe Deer Beast King and took the lead in charging out, the battle spirit radiating from his body sweeping through the heavens and the earth.
To the south of the royal capital, five hundred miles away, there was a lofty and massive mountain range that stretched for thousands of miles, as if it was a divine dragon lying across the earth, radiating a majestic aura that echoed the royal capital.
Dragon Top Mountain, located in the initial section of the mountain range, up to more than seven thousand metres high, the terrain is quite dangerous, as if it were a dragon head of the mountain range, somewhat abruptly towering up.
The mountain contained a mysterious power that soaked into the soil, causing the mountain’s structure to become quite solid, so that even Saint realm beings were unable to shake it.
Zhang Ruochen stood at the bottom of the mountain and gazed upwards, saying, “It’s a marvellous and strange mountain.”
“If it wasn’t a strange mountain, how could it once become a place of heavenly sacrifice?”Yellow Smoke Dust came to Zhang Ruochen’s side, following him like a shadow, as the two of them became more and more in tune with each other.
Xiao Hei transformed into a black stream of light and swept down from the top of the mountain, nodding at Zhang Ruochen, saying, “The ancient altar at the top of the mountain is indeed somewhat damaged, however, it should be repairable if you spend some time on it.”
Zhang Ruochen’s expression was serious as he gave an order, saying, “Murong Yue, you can now spread the news and tell everyone that I, Zhang Ruochen, have come, right here on Dragon Top Mountain.”
The crowd was stunned and quite puzzled as to why Zhang Ruochen was doing this. Did he not know that many beings in the Green Dragon Market Realm now wanted to kill him and seize the heavenly treasures on him?
Huang Yichen’s eyes narrowed, revealing a dazed look.
The altar, having been chosen, how could it work without an offering?
