Zhang Ruochen’s attainments in the Dao of the Sword were not at all inferior even when compared to the topmost Sword Dao wizards. The Sword Dao rules he cultivated were more numerous and thicker than the Palm Dao rules.
A single Sword Dao rule came together like a spider’s web, connecting into a piece and condensing a holy sword that was more than ten feet long.
A sword-shaped holy phase.
It was actually not humanoid again.
One must know that the vast majority of cultivators condensed a holy phase that was a huge human figure that looked exactly like themselves.
Even sword cultivators were like this.
Very few sword cultivators were able to condense a sword-shaped Saint Phase.
“Continue.”
Zhang Ruochen separated the Fist Dao Rules and condensed a third Saint Phase.
The third Saint Phase, still not in human form, but a vast Saint River, floated above Zhang Ruochen’s head, much like a real river, and the sound of crashing water could be heard.
“Could this be the legendary Luo Water?”
Zhang Ruochen knew very well that he was able to condense the Fist Dao Saint Phase solely thanks to the “Luo Water Fist Technique”. The “Luo Water Fist Technique” was another fist technique that Luo Xu had created by comprehending the Luo Water, and it definitely contained the true essence of the Luo Water.
A river was just a river, but it could actually form its own holy dao rules, how could it not make people feel amazed?
“In the future, I must return to the Heavenly Demon Ridge and personally visit the Luo Water River.”Zhang Ruochen said to himself.
Xiao Hei stared at Zhang Ruochen with wide eyes as if he was looking at a demon or devil, saying, “What in the world? Zhang Ruochen, what have you done, how did you condense so many Saint Phases?”
The four-winged Silverlight Crane was also terrified, and was quite curious as to how terrifying an existence the human on his back was.
With each Saint Phase condensed out, the Four-Winged Silverlight Crane felt like there was an additional mountain on its back, fortunately, its cultivation was profound, otherwise, where would it still be able to fly?
“I don’t know what’s going on.”
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, somewhat afraid to continue condensing the Saint Phase, worrying that the cultivation would go awry and cause unpredictable effects in the future.
“Aren’t you knowledgeable? Are there any other beings that can also cultivate multiple Saint Phases?”Zhang Ruochen asked Little Black.
“No.”
Little Black shook its head vigorously, not really knowing what had happened to Zhang Ruochen.
However, it soon changed its words and said, “This Emperor did read some legends on top of an ancient tome. It is said that in the extremely distant past, some mysterious beings could cultivate multiple Saint Phases and condense multiple Saint Origins.”
“What mysterious beings?”Zhang Ruochen asked.
“Living beings that are not among the five elements.”Little Black said.
The five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
All beings and everything under the sky were within the Five Elements, and they were all part of the Five Elements.
Zhang Ruochen said, “The fact that I have cultivated the Five Elements Chaotic Body means that it is still within the Five Elements and has not shed itself outside of the Five Elements. How should this be explained?”
Little Black laughed out, saying, “Those are just legends, this Emperor doesn’t believe that there are really living beings that can shed outside the five elements. Even if there is, it is estimated that only a god, can do it.”
“You shouldn’t think too much, if you cultivate one more Saint Phase, you’ll be able to condense one more Saint Source, it might have a certain impact on Saint Dao cultivation, but the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages. The chance you’ve been given is not something that any living being can get.”
Zhang Ruochen exchanged a few more things with Xiao Hei, all of which were queries about the transition from Half-Saint to Saint.
After all, all this time, Zhang Ruochen had been figuring things out on his own, lacking a famous teacher to teach him, and had only learnt something about cultivating the Saint Phase and condensing Saint Sources in the books and volumes.
Only after the exchange was completed did Zhang Ruochen begin to cultivate the Saint Phase again.
The Sword Dao, Palm Dao, and Fist Dao’s Saint Dao rules had all been condensed into Saint Phases, and next, there was only the Way of Time and the Way of Space.
The Saint Dao Rules of the Way of Time and the Way of Space were both shadowless and invisible, and the Saint Phase that condensed out was surprisingly shadowless and invisible as well, so outsiders couldn’t see it at all, and only Zhang Ruochen could see it.
Neither the Time Saint Phase nor the Space Saint Phase had a concrete form, they just had a bit of a resemblance to two huge whirlpools.
Xiao Hei seemed to be aware of this as well, his two cat eyes glaring round as he fished out a Hundred Lines Saint Artifact from inside his spatial ring and threw it in the direction of where the Space Saint Phase was.
“Crack.”
The Hundred Lines Saint Artifact had just approached the vortex where the Spatial Saint Phase was located, and in a split second, it was pulled in.
An invisible force exploded out, squeezing the Hundred Lines Sacred Artifact, changing into various forms, and, in the end, turning into a fist-sized iron ball that crashed down.
“How hard is the Hundred Lines Sacred Artifact, but it was actually squeezed into an iron ball.”
The four-winged Silver Light Crane was so frightened that it trembled, fearing that the mysterious Saint Phase would pull and draw it over as well, squeezing it into a ball of flesh.
Xiao Hei had some surprise and took out another Hundred Lines Saint Artifact and threw it towards the direction where the Time Saint Phase was.
“Boom.”
Just as it got close to the vortex where the Time Saint Phase was located, that Hundred Lines Saint Artifact exploded and turned into a ball of metal powder.
The two pairs of feathered wings of the four-winged Silver Light Crane were trembling violently, and a human voice came out of its mouth, “Two great kings, can you stop tossing and turning, if you keep tossing and turning, I’m sure I’ll be suppressed to death by those two forces.”
“Cut the crap and continue flying towards the Divine Dream Zephyr.”
Xiao Hei slapped a claw on the top of the four-winged silver-light crane’s head, causing the four-winged silver-light crane to quack and not dare to interrupt again.
“Both the Time Saint Phase and Space Saint Phase can be cultivated, Zhang Ruochen, are you going against the heavens?”
Little Black had always considered himself invincible under the heavens, but, after seeing the Time Saint Phase and Space Saint Phase, he also lost his temper.
Not to mention that at the same realm, Zhang Ruochen was able to crush all opponents.
Even Saint realm beings that were a few realms higher than Zhang Ruochen would probably have quite a headache when they encountered the Time Saint Phase and Space Saint Phase.
“Immovable King.”
Zhang Ruochen’s hands lifted up above his head, and between his hands, a piercing golden light actually emerged.
Looking towards it from the ground, it was very much like a blazing sun emerging, the light illuminating the mountains and rivers below, causing the leaves in the mountains to be covered in a layer of golden light.
“There’s no end in sight, to the extent that we can still condense a sixth saintly phase.”Little Black let out a strange cry.
As the Immovable Bright King Sacred Phase coalesced out, the four-winged Silver Light Crane only felt like there were 100,000 great mountains pressing down on it, and its body was uncontrollable as it plummeted towards the ground in a straight line.
“Rumble.”
The Four-Winged Silver Light Crane crashed into a jungle, smashing out a large pit, and all of the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees lifted up from the soil.
The Four-Winged Silverlight Crane was a sixth-ranked top-grade savage beast, enough to call the shots with a ninth-ranked Half-Saint, and it was also a dominant party in the Fallen God Mountain Ridge, even if it carried a huge mountain on its back with ease.
However, at this moment, it was suppressed by the Immovable Bright King Sacred Phase to the point that it was lying on the ground and had fainted. The Immovable Ming King Sacred Phase, finally in human form, looked exactly like Zhang Ruochen, as tall as the mountain next to it, radiating golden light with a strong Buddhist rhythm.
The nearby savage beasts, sensing the aura of the Immovable Bright King Sacred Phase, all trembled in fear. They knew that a Gai Shi powerhouse was nearby, and thus, cowering inside their caves, they didn’t even dare to reveal their heads.
“Could it be that the Nine Heavenly Bright Emperor Scripture has some affinity with the Ten Thousand Buddha Dao?”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes revealed a strange colour.
All along, he only knew that the Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture was the highest secret code of the Imperial Clan Zhang Clan, and only each generation of Bright Emperors could cultivate it.
The previous generation of Ming Emperors had once studied under the Two Elemental Sect, so by this reckoning, the Sacred Brightness Central Empire should be on good terms with the Taiji Dao.
How did the Supreme Canon of the Sacred Ming Central Empire have an affinity with the Ten Thousand Buddha Dao again? Feeling puzzled, Zhang Ruochen pondered for a moment, then shook his head and thought no more about it, waiting until the future to consult the Zhang Family’s ancestry, he might be able to find the reason for this.
Together with the Immovable Bright King Saint Phase, Zhang Ruochen had cultivated a total of six Saint Phases.
The Saint Qi in Zhang Ruochen’s body operated rapidly as he raised an arm and pressed it towards a mountain peak thirty miles away.
The Immovable Bright King Saint Phase also raised a large hand, following the trajectory of Zhang Ruochen’s palm imprint, and pressed on the top of the mountain peak.
“Rumble.”
A large mountain was reduced to flat ground.
All that remained on the ground was a pile of earth and rocks and a huge palm print pit.
The four-winged silver light cranes had all woken up and raised their huge heads, but, seeing this scene, they were scared into fainting again.
Little Black stood not far away, holding the Alchemy Furnace, and said solemnly, ”Zhang Ruochen, this Sacred Phase that you cultivated is quite something. This Emperor had once seen a cultivator who cultivated the Heavenly Demon Stone Carving, one of the Six Great Wondrous Books, and the Heavenly Demon Sacred Phase that he condensed out of it was all a bit inferior compared to this Sacred Phase of yours. The technique you cultivate wouldn’t also be one of the Six Great Wondrous Books, would it?”
“No.”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “However, it is possible that it has some affinity with one of the strange books.”
“Which book?”Xiao Hei asked.
“Why would I tell you?”
The Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture belonged to the top secret of the Imperial Clan Zhang Clan, and Zhang Ruochen would not tell any living being anything about it.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust it, but there was such a stipulation in the Zhang Family’s ancestral training.
Zhang Ruochen had looked through the records about the Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture, and there was a mere mention of the Thirty-three Heavens, one of the legendary Six Wondrous Books.
Hence, Zhang Ruochen had guessed that the Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture most likely had some connection with the Thirty-three Heavens.
The Thirty-three Heavy Heavens, Heavenly Demon Stone Carving, Divine Meteor Scripture, Qiankun Martial Secrets, Eight.Nine Xuan Gong, and the Innate Dao.
The Six Great Wondrous Books, which could be said to have shaken the ancient world, were definitely the topmost techniques amongst the Human Race, and there were countless myths and legends behind each one of them.
A cultivator, even if he only got one or two remnants of the six great books, in the same realm burst out of the combat power, are far away from other cultivators.
Of course, up to now, the vast majority of the six great books of wonders are only left with the remnants of the scrolls, there is no complete canon.
Just for example: the Two Element Sect’s town secret codex, Taiji Innate Dao, was only a part of the Innate Dao.
“Forget it if you don’t say it, this Emperor doesn’t want to know yet.”
Xiao Hei, who possessed part of the volumes of the Divine Meteorite Scripture, one of the Six Great Wondrous Books, thought that the Divine Meteorite Scripture was the invincible technique under the heavens, and simply looked down on other techniques, so he had little interest in the technique that Zhang Ruochen cultivated.
“That Sacred Phase you cultivated is indeed very strong, however, if that girl, Cold Snow, cultivated the Divine Meteor Sacred Phase, she would definitely be on top of you.”Little Black said rather dejectedly.
Little Black very much hoped that Cold Snow would come back from the netherworld earlier, if her battle power, passed Zhang Ruochen, her master, that would truly be a good show, it would definitely roll on the ground with laughter.
Xiao Hei stretched out his claws and slapped the Four-Winged Silver Light Crane lying on the ground to wake it up, wanting it to continue to be a mount.
The four-winged silver light crane, however, was quite afraid of death, and refused to carry them anymore, and, told them that they had already arrived at the edge of the Barbarian Secret Realm, and that if they continued a little further, they would be able to enter the Divine Dream Zephyr.
