“Do you really want to return to the Blood God Sect?”
Huang Yichen’s voice sounded behind Zhang Ruochen.
“Hmm.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Yellow Smoke Dust walked to Zhang Ruochen’s side, a faint fragrance emanating from her body as she said, “With the disappearance of the Sect Master, the Blood God Sect is bound to be in chaos, and those kind of ambitious old generation characters will surely all want to sit on top of the Sect Master’s position. The first person they will want to eradicate is the Divine Son who has the right to succeed the Sect Leader, that is, you.”
“I know.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and added, “However, I have no choice and must stay. If, the Blood God Sect is controlled by the Immortal Blood Race, then the entire Tiantai Prefecture will be in chaos, and even the entire Central Region will experience no small amount of turmoil.”
“Back then, Father led the human race and paid a terrible price to expel the Undying Blood Race overseas. Now, Father is no longer around, but the Immortal Blood Race is making a comeback, no matter what, I have to contribute, even if I can’t cable the wild waves, I have to chop off a few of their minions first.”
Huang Yichen gently pursed his lips and said, “Since you’ve made a decision, then I’ll definitely go all out to help you.”
“Did you get in touch with Qing Mo?”Zhang Ruochen asked.
Huang Yichen nodded and said, “I received Qing Mo’s Transmission Light Talisman, they have already returned to the Kunlun Realm and are on their way to the Blood God Sect.”
Zhang Ruochen gently patted Huang Yichen’s fragrant shoulder and smiled, “During this period of time, you will meditate and cultivate in the Scrolls World, and strive to successfully pass through the Third Paramount Sacred Tribulation.”?”I will definitely cultivate to the Saint realm as soon as possible to help you kill the lurkers of the Immortal Blood Race, and I definitely cannot let them disturb the Central Region.”Huang Yichen said.
After Huang Yichen closed his door, Zhang Ruochen came to the bottom of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood, sat down on the ground, took out the Time and Space Mysterious Dictionary, and flipped to the page that recorded the third realm of Time Sword Technique, the “Twelve Hours Sword Technique”.
Above the silver-coloured paper, there were twelve tiny human figures engraved, arranged in a circle.
“There are twelve hours in a day, Zi, U, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xin, and Hai, and for each of these hours, it corresponds to a sword technique.”
The Time Sword Technique reached the third realm and became even more marvellous, one had to have a strong spiritual power, excessive perception, and a tough will to be able to comprehend the subtleties of the sword technique.
Zhang Ruochen detached a spiritual force and acted on top of the pattern.
“Wow…”
All twelve tiny silhouettes, as if they had come to life, stood up from the top of the paper and danced out a sword move in a lively manner.
When he fought with the Blood God Sect Master’s Sacred Soul Split, Zhang Ruochen had comprehended some of the true meaning of the Twelve Hours Sword Technique.
As such, he viewed the Sword Script once again and quickly immersed himself in it.
“Zi Jian.”
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and, as if he was mesmerised, he executed the first sword of the Twelve Hours Sword Technique.
Gradually, the rules of time within dozens of miles around Zhang Ruochen became misplaced, the sky was dim, and the cold wind was bitter, as if he was entering the late night Zi Hour.
“Ugly Sword.”
The sword blade turned, and the sword path became wide open.
Where the sword Qi swung past, the flow of time was suddenly fast and slow, changing unpredictably.
Looking from afar, the winds and clouds under the tree of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood changed, sometimes the sky was dark, sometimes it was radiant, and thousands of sword awns were intertwined, so that even Saint realm beings did not dare to easily approach the past.
After rehearsing the Twelve Hours Sword Technique, three times in a row, Zhang Ruochen felt that he had been practising the sword for three days, and the Saint Qi in his body had been depleted for most of the day, and beads of sweat were beading up all over his body.
“It’s too consuming of Saint Qi, every time I perform a sword, it’s like hitting several Saint Art moves.”Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
The Time Sword Technique was too profound, and Zhang Ruochen had only grasped some of the skins of the Twelve Hours Sword Technique even now, and was far from realising all the true meanings in their entirety.
“In the third life in the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Diagram, I should have also practiced the Twelve Hours Sword Technique. If, now, I merge the memories of the third life with the Sacred Dao senses, my understanding of the Twelve Hour Sword Technique will definitely be able to go to the next level.”?Zhang Ruochen stopped thinking and immediately began to act.
Unlocking the memory seal of the third life, the memories and the Sacred Dao Sensations came surging towards Zhang Ruochen like a tidal wave.
In the third life, Zhang Ruochen had many grudges and entanglements with Ling Fei Yu.
Zhang Ruochen, in order to comprehend the Holy Dao, in this life, decided to enter the world to cultivate and became the number one powerhouse of an empire, with boundless scenery, worshipped and admired by countless cultivators.
Ling Fei Yu, however, was the number one assassin of the Evil Dao, with killing Zhang Ruochen as the ultimate goal, but unfortunately, none of them succeeded, and he lost to Zhang Ruochen time and time again.
The feud between the two had been entangled for a hundred years, and many things had happened, some of which made Zhang Ruochen feel saddened even after fusing his memories.
“It’s amazing, it’s like actually experiencing a lifetime, and I wonder what the remaining four lifetimes have experienced?”Zhang Ruochen revealed a smile.
For some reason, in Zhang Ruochen’s consciousness, he had already treated Ling Fei Yu as a close friend.
She had taught Zhang Ruochen sword techniques, and Zhang Ruochen had been her master.
She had saved Zhang Ruochen, and Zhang Ruochen had saved her.
The two had suffered together, and had also been mortal enemies for their entire lives.
Such a friendship was piled up bit by bit by time and experience, and it could not be said to be deep.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen just wanted to hold a jar of fine wine and sneak up to the Devil Sect’s main stage, under that moonlit and windy night, drink with her painfully and talk about the three lifetimes of experience in the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Diagrams together, with too many things in his heart that he wanted to say.
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help but wonder, as the high and mighty Head Honoured Lady of the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect, how did she view this friendship?
“I also wonder if she regards me as a close friend?”Zhang Ruochen laughed.
In the end, Zhang Ruochen still didn’t fuse the remaining four lifetimes of memories, after all, the memories of one life were already enough for him to digest for a long time.
Unless his spiritual power became saintly, Zhang Ruochen would not consider fusing the fourth life memories.
After fusing the memories of the third life and the Sacred Dao Sense, Zhang Ruochen’s Fist, Palm, Sword, and Spiritual Strength, all of them had improved to varying degrees.
Both the Seven Orifices Blood Underworld Palm and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm had reached a more profound realm, erupting with even more power.
In terms of sword techniques, he had already cultivated Sword Six to the fourth level of the realm. Of course, there was still a considerable distance to the grand completion.
There was also some progress in the strength of spiritual power, however, it didn’t reach the fiftieth rank, failing to become a saint.
“Fusing the memories of the third life and the Sacred Dao’s sense of enlightenment, the improvement in martial arts is no longer as exaggerated as the first and second lives. Sure enough, in the later lives, the improvement in martial skills will become smaller and smaller.”
Zhang Ruochen was not disappointed, at least, the Twelve Hour Sword Technique had made a considerable progress again, becoming one of his most important cards, and once it was performed, it was enough to pose a certain degree of threat to a Middle Realm Saint.
Moreover, after the deepening of his Saint Dao sense, it would be a little easier for Zhang Ruochen to transverse the three Quasi-Saint Tribulations.
“Right now, it’s also a safe bet that I’ll be able to cross the first Quasi-Saint Tribulation.”
Zhang Ruochen was preparing to transmute the tribulation and impact to the Quasi-Saint realm in one go.
Xiao Hei, however, rushed towards him in a somewhat frenzied manner, almost pouncing Zhang Ruochen to the ground, saying, “Success! Success! This Emperor has finally succeeded in refining the first Saint-level Blood Suppression Talisman. Haha!”
“Success?”
Zhang Ruochen’s face also revealed a joyful expression as he took the talisman in Little Black’s hand and carefully observed that it was indeed a Saint Grade Blood Suppressor Talisman.
“Great, with this Saint Grade Blood Suppressing Talisman, even if we encounter a Saint realm powerhouse of the Immortal Blood Race, we can suppress it.”
Zhang Ruochen put away the Saint Grade Blood Suppressor Talisman and asked, “Only one was refined out?”
“It’s already not easy to be able to refine one out, do you think Saint Grade Blood Suppressing Talisman is a cabbage?”Xiao Hei gave Zhang Ruochen a glance.
“After spending two thousand drops of divine blood, you only managed to refine one Saint Grade Blood Suppressing Talisman?”
Zhang Ruochen had a hard time accepting this fact and put away his smile, his heart turning cold as he said, “Your attainments above the Rune Dao aren’t much better than mine! If I had known earlier, I should have made a trip to the Ancient Clan of Prison Suppression and asked the Shi Family’s Rune Dao Patriarch to help me refine it.”
“Even if a Rune Dao Patriarch were to take action, he might not be better than this Emperor.”?Little Black’s eyes sank as he said, “Since, this Emperor was able to refine the first Blood Suppressing Talisman, the next one will be much easier. Why don’t you get another two thousand drops of divine blood out for you, and this Emperor will refine at least two Saint Grade Blood Suppressor Talismans for you.”
One Saint Grade Blood Suppressor Talisman was indeed too little, and it might not be able to suppress it in case one encountered a powerful Immortal Blood Race Saint.
Preparing two more on one’s person would ensure that nothing could go wrong.
It wouldn’t be too late to go to the Ancient Prison Suppressor Race when the situation of the Blood God Sect stabilised.
Zhang Ruochen sighed softly, and in the end, he took out another two thousand drops of Divine Blood and gave it to Little Black, letting him take it and toss it.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t have the time to cross the first Paramount Saint Tribulation before he received Zhao Shiqi’s Transmission Light Talisman.
“The Sect Master has disappeared, and the Sect is in chaos. Today, the Elder Pavilion is going to hold a meeting of elders to elect an Acting Sect Master, and all Saints and Half-Saints will attend the meeting. Your Highness, Divine Son, upon receipt of the summoning light talisman, please rush back to the Blood God Sect immediately in case the Undying Blood Race’s infiltrator becomes the Acting Sect Master.”
Zhang Ruochen realised the gravity of the situation after reading the content above the summoning light talisman, and without any hesitation, he rode a Beast King and rushed back to the Blood God Sect.
“Since it’s a meeting where saints and half-saints gather, it’s a good time to take this opportunity to use the secret method above the Secret Scrolls of the Blood Race to see just how many of them are lurkers of the Immortal Blood Race.”
The beast king under Zhang Ruochen, named Three Headed Jiao King, had already been subdued by Xiao Hei, and there was a Beast Mastery Inscription burnt into its body.
The Three-Headed Jiao King had passed through two Quasi-Saint Tribulations, and was a powerhouse at the top of the Semi-Saint Outer Ranking, with a body that was more than six hundred metres long, and exuded a ghostly blue chilling light all over its body.
The Three Headed Jiao King flew into the Blood God Sect’s territory, causing a huge vibration, some Blood God Sect disciples thought that it was an incoming foreign enemy and wanted to activate the defence array.
“Don’t start the formation first, you guys look at the back of the Three Headed Jiao King, is that the …… Holy Child Highness?”
“When Her Highness the Holy Maiden **** didn’t she claim that His Highness the Son of God had probably already fallen in the Green Dragon Market Realm.”
“It’s really His Highness the Divine Son, he’s back, with his feet on the scaly dragon, it’s so majestic!”
……
Gu Linfeng had shown outstanding talent when he was vying for the position of Divine Son, and was still very popular in the Blood God Sect, and I don’t know how many young disciples were looking at him as their idol, and I don’t know how many young women were looking at him as their dream lover, definitely a first-rate man of the hour.
Gu Linfeng ****, a large chorus of cheering voices rang out from below.
Of course, there were also some cultivators who revealed a look of astonishment and immediately took this piece of news, engraved it on top of the summoning light talisman, and punched the light talisman out.
Soon after, several big figures of the Blood God Sect received the summoning light talisman and learnt of Gu Linfeng **** s news.
