“The Saint level battle just now caused an unusually strong fluctuation of Saint Qi, it’s likely that it will attract Saint Members from other powers over, we must leave as soon as possible.”
Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yichen left this withered planet and flew above a rocky asteroid, following the asteroid’s trajectory as they flew off into the distance.
After hiding the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yichen entered the Diagram World.
Zhang Ruochen came to the bottom of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood and looked forward, only to see that a green dragon, carved like an emerald, was suppressed on top of the stump, with more than three hundred roots entangling it, making it completely unable to move.
“Ow!”
The green dragon let out a deep roar, shaking the surrounding heaven and earth aura, which surged outwards like waves of water.
“What’s the situation now, how long will it take for the Scroll World, to diffuse into the Qiankun Realm?”Zhang Ruochen asked.
A spiritual force from the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood came out and told Zhang Ruochen, saying, “As long as the World Spirit of the Green Dragon Market Realm is melted, the Tulip World will immediately undergo a heavenly change, and diffuse into the vast and stable Qiankun Realm. However, with your current physical body strength and cultivation realm, you are still unable to carry a world. Unless, you are able to become a saint in the flesh.”
“Flesh body becomes saint.”
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, his eyes becoming a bit sullen.
To become a saint in the flesh, one had to sanctify all of the one hundred and forty-four orifices in the body, which seemed easy, but in reality, it was as difficult as climbing up to heaven.
The Immortal Blood Race’s Crown Prince Qing Tian and Crown Prince Devil Tian, who already had the racial advantage of being able to absorb blood to condense their fleshly bodies, were still unable to achieve fleshly body sainthood, and could only approach it with great difficulty, one step at a time.
Zhang Ruochen had already sainted one hundred and eight orifices, seemingly having completed a large part of it, but in reality, there was still quite a long way to go.
The Heaven Receiving Divine Wood said once again, “You need to understand that when the Qiankun Realm is born, the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood Diagram will shatter, and once your body can’t carry the Qiankun Realm, then the Qiankun Realm will be exposed to the vast expanse of the universe, and be invaded by other beings.”
“I understand!”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and retreated.
“I also wonder how Qing Mo’s injuries are?”
Zhang Ruochen had witnessed Qing Mo being heavily injured by the Demon Ran Princess and was quite worried about her well-being, having suffered such a serious injury, she might not be able to survive even if she took the Withered Wood Pill.
Huang Yichen, however, looked bashful and said, ”There is no need to worry about her, Qing Mo’s physique is quite special, she won’t die that easily. It’s better for us to refine the dan qi of the Sacred Dan in our bodies as soon as possible and raise our cultivation to a higher realm. If we don’t have a strong cultivation to support us, I’m afraid it will be difficult for us to break out of the heavy siege and return to the Kunlun Realm.”
Huang Yichen also took the Holy Dan. Previously, because he had to compete for the World Spirit and was pressed for time, he hadn’t been able to refine the Holy Dan and use his holy qi to suppress the dan qi in his body.
Now, having finally captured the Spirit of the World, he could calm down and slowly absorb the dan qi of the Holy Dan.
Not long after, Huang Yichen’s cultivation realm broke through the tipping point, invoking the second Quasi-Saint Tribulation “Eight Nine Tribulations”, and, succeeded in crossing the Tribulation.
Zhang Ruochen was also going all out to refine the dan qi of the Sacred Dan, and operated the Sixth Layer of the Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture to the extreme.
As time passed, his cultivation realm, rapidly increased.
Mid Ninth Order Half-Saint.
Late Ninth Order Half-Saint.
Peak Ninth Order Half-Saint.
His cultivation level rose three steps in a row, impacting the peak of the Ninth Order Half-Saint before gradually stabilising.
One must know that the Ninth Order Half-Saint was different from other realms, each small realm had a large gap, from the early Ninth Order Half-Saint to the peak of the Ninth Order Half-Saint was comparable to the gap between a First Order Half-Saint to a Second Order Half-Saint.?With Zhang Ruochen’s current strength, he was invincible under the Middle Realm Saints.
The Holy Dan Qi had been completely refined, and the Holy Qi in his body swelled to the extreme.
In the Xuan Foetus at the location of the lower abdomen, there was hot masculine Qi surging violently, much like flames burning, causing Zhang Ruochen’s skin to turn completely crimson.
“The masculinity qi that surpasses normal people by 10,000 times is really hard to control, as long as my realm is slightly unstable, it will immediately burst out, trying to burn me to ashes.”
Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation level had risen by a huge step, and he had yet to fully grasp that powerful force, so naturally, he was a little unstable.
When the realm was unstable, all sorts of drawbacks would be exposed, and it would be easy to be backfired by the power in his body, thus going off the deep end.
“Could it be that we really need to go and find a cauldron, just in case?”
This thought had only just surfaced when Zhang Ruochen immediately obliterated it.
“Luo Water Fist Technique.”
Zhang Ruochen stood up and clenched his fists with both hands, trying his best to control the holy and masculine Qi in his body as he methodically punched out the thirty-six Luo Shui Fist Techniques.
Immediately after that, a Yin and soft continuous power Qi, from the fists, travelled throughout Zhang Ruochen’s entire body.
The Luo Water Fist Technique was a fist technique that Luo Xu had learnt in Luo Water based on the reflection of the stars on the surface of the water, which contained a kind of mysterious rules of heaven and earth, and was extremely profound and unfathomable.
Even though, Zhang Ruochen had already cultivated the Luo Water Fist Technique to the seventh realm, he still had a different feeling every time he cultivated it.
The Luo Shui Fist Technique was so profound that it could be completely cultivated all the time, and as the cultivator’s understanding of the technique deepened, the power that erupted from the technique would become stronger as it did.
He didn’t know how many times he had rehearsed the fist technique, but the masculine Qi in Zhang Ruochen’s body had finally stabilised.
Zhang Ruochen stopped practicing his fist, loosened his five fingers, exhaled a long breath, and said to himself, “The Luoshui Fist Technique is really able to suppress the Yang Gang Qi, it seems that we have to find a time to go back to the Heavenly Demon Ridge, and personally go to the Luoshui River to gain some enlightenment… I don’t know what’s so strange about that river that fell from the sky?”
Zhang Ruochen’s realm hadn’t completely stabilised, and there was no way for him to cross the first Quasi-Saint Tribulation for the time being.
If he forcibly crossed the tribulation, he was afraid that it would be dangerous.
After all, his Quasi-Saint Apocalypse would surely be quite ferocious, far surpassing other Half-Saints, and it would be best not to take the risk without full certainty.
Anyway, with his current cultivation level, he was already able to restrain the Saint Eating Flower and no longer worried about being revolted by it.
Next, Zhang Ruochen began to adjust himself and attempted to impact the thirty-six orifices in his head, preparing to cultivate his physical body first.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t succeed even after more than ten attempts, instead, his brain felt a faint pain and his scalp felt as if it was going to crack.
Thus, Zhang Ruochen changed his strategy and prepared to impact one or two of the orifices first.
“Both my left and right eyes are fused with a Divine Seal, perhaps I can use the power of the Divine Seal to open the orifices of both eyes first.”
This time, Zhang Ruochen didn’t use Divine Blood, but White Tiger Divine Dew.
The head, unlike the limbs and body, was relatively more fragile and could not be impacted using brute force.
The White Tiger Divine Dew was dew taken from the top of the leaves of the Divine Medicine Seven Star Divine Ling, which was relatively softer than Divine Blood, and even if the impact failed, it would not damage Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.
When Zhang Ruochen swallowed the White Tiger Divine Dew, he immediately operated his gong method and injected the essence qi contained in the Divine Dew into the two Divine Seals in his eyes.
The two divine seals emitted a dazzling light, becoming brighter and brighter, much like two flaming holy stones set inside the eye sockets.
“Wow…”
The two pillars of flaming light, flew out from the pupils with an extreme penetrating power, flying all the way to hundreds of miles away before fading and disappearing.
“Finally opening the orifices of both eyes, just a single glance can kill a Half-Saint even within a hundred miles.”Zhang Ruochen was secretly delighted.
Cultivators who cultivated the physical body, as more and more orifices were opened, they would also open up some extraordinary magical powers.
A random punch could erupt with the power of a Sacred Art level attack.
A casual glare could kill an enemy and penetrate mountains.
A casual exhale could also turn into a hurricane, causing a large killing force.
Next, Zhang Ruochen continued his efforts and used the power of the Divine Seal to punch open the orifices of both ears, both noses, temples, and the throat again, and used the White Tiger Divine Dew to sanctify all of the opened orifices.
“Twelve of the head’s orifices have been sanctified, and with the 108 orifices sanctified before, I’ve sanctified one hundred and twenty orifices.”
Zhang Ruochen’s body was distributed with one hundred and twenty bright points of light that intertwined into a strange pattern, radiating powerful power fluctuations.
Zhang Ruochen was able to clearly perceive that his power had risen by a large margin again.
“If I sanctify some more orifices, even if I encounter a Middle Realm Saint, I will be able to fight against them.”Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen was able to quickly punch open the twelve orifices in his head entirely with the power of the divine Seal.
The remaining twenty-four orifices, but without being able to use the Divine Seal, would become more and more difficult and take more and more time.
This time, Zhang Ruochen was determined to close the door and cultivate for a longer period of time, so he continued to impact the remaining twenty-four orifices.
After spending eight months in a row, Zhang Ruochen punched through twelve more orifices.
Zhang Ruochen sanctified the one hundred and thirty-two orifices, but didn’t feel excited, instead, he was rather pensive and said, ”When I impacted the one hundred and thirty-two orifices, it took two whole months. To punch the one hundred and thirty-third orifice, wouldn’t it take close to three months?”
Although, Zhang Ruochen was not in a hurry to get out of the gate right now, he cherished his time quite a bit and didn’t want to waste a large amount of time away.
According to his projections, if he wanted to flush out all the orifices in his body and reach Flesh Body Sainthood, it would take him at least eight years.
“Is it that hard to become a Saint in the flesh?”Zhang Ruochen said.
On the path of cultivation, if you don’t advance, you will fall back.
When your progress slows down, it’s a regression, and you’ll soon be surpassed by other Heaven’s Pride.
For example, Prince Qi Tian, Autumn Rain, Heaven’s Destiny Emperor, and Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon, all of them were racing against time, wanting to cultivate faster, become stronger, and leave the others behind to become the leaders.
Not only them, but those Realm Sons of the Human Race, who had been cultivating in the Heavenly Wheel Seal for fifteen years, taking a large amount of Holy Pills and Divine Pills, and experiencing a thousand refinements, were also bound to surge forward next.
In the Kunlun Realm, there wasn’t only the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram and the Heavenly Wheel Seal, there were also some other temporal treasures that could also provide several times the time, or even dozens of times the time.
Even if Zhang Ruochen mastered the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, if he took it lightly and slacked off a little, he would immediately fall off the wagon
