In this life, Ling Fei Yu and Zhang Ruochen had been companions for three hundred years, from a fox and a man, and later, into a woman and a man, all the while living in seclusion in the Cangwu Spirit Mountain.
As time passed, their relationship, became quite subtle, both like a master and a disciple, and like a divine couple, travelling towards the North Sea and twilight in Cangwu, with indescribable memories, and some faint sentiments.
In that life, although the heavens and earth were infinite and vast, it was like they were living in a world of only two people.
Having fused the memories and Saint Dao sensibilities of the sixth life, Zhang Ruochen did not feel the slightest bit of elation, instead, he fell into a long silence.
Three hundred years of memories and emotions were too complex, with too many joys and sorrows, and even though Zhang Ruochen’s mental strength had reached the fifty-first rank, it was still a little difficult to distinguish what was reality and what was illusion, and he was affected by it in no small way.
It was only after a long time that Zhang Ruochen was able to exhale a long breath, coming out of his confusion, only to fall into deeper anguish.
“In the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Diagram, I actually fell in love with her! Luckily, that emotion wasn’t too deep, and it wasn’t completely plunged into it, so I should be able to pull back, right?”
Zhang Ruochen was a little worried because, the sixth life was not the end.
There was still the seventh life.
He couldn’t predict that in the seventh life, would the sentiment between them expand further and reach an unmanageable point?
Zhang Ruochen and Ling Fei Yu were not people along the way, and it was only because of chance that they became emotionally entangled.
Once such an emotion sprouted, it might not necessarily be a good thing.
Zhang Ruochen tried to recall the scene when he and Ling Fei Yu exited from the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Diagram. At that time, Ling Fei Yu had acted rather blandly and did not look like she was caught up in her emotions.
“I should be the one thinking too much, nothing happened in the seventh life I reckon.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly and tried his best to think in a favourable light.
At the same time, he also had some curiosity, even if Ling Fei Yu’s cultivation was strong, but, at that time, she had directly fused the memories of the seventh life, how could she not have any emotional fluctuations at all?
Could it be that she had deliberately suppressed her emotions?
“It’s really a bit curious, how exactly does she view these seven lives that we have experienced?”
Zhang Ruochen gently shook his head, no longer thinking about this matter.
Thinking about it was just adding to the worries.
The big deal was that after fusing the memories of the seventh life, he would personally ascend to the Demon Sect’s General Altar to meet her.
Fusing the memories of the sixth life and the Sacred Dao’s enlightenment, Zhang Ruochen’s attainments above the Sword Dao reached the fifth level of the Sword Seven Realm.
The third realm of the Time Sword Technique, the “Twelve Hours Sword Technique”, had also made great progress, with each move and each style becoming more mature.
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and released his sword intent.
“Clatter.”
Densely packed sword shadows emerged in the cabin.
At first, those sword shadows were very shallow, as if they were wisps of mist.
Gradually, the sword shadows became clearer and clearer, surrounding Zhang Ruochen and worshipping him, emitting ear-piercing clanging sounds, very much like the sight of ten thousand swords heading towards the emperor.
Those sword shadows were not condensed using Saint Qi or Sword Qi, but were condensed from sword intent.
That’s right, it was sword intent.
Sword intent, was originally an idea, very vague and ethereal. Being able to use sword intent to condense sword shadows was proof that a sword cultivator’s attainments in the Dao of the Sword were already quite close to that of a Sword Saint.
The power of a sword shadow condensed from sword intent, and the power of a sword shadow condensed from holy qi and sword qi, were two completely different levels.
It was said that a true Sword Saint would be able to use sword intent to condense a substantial holy sword, and the power that erupted from it would be even higher.
“Sword Seven, there are ten levels of realms in total, and I’ve only realised the fifth level now, wanting to cultivate into a Sword Saint is really not an easy task.”Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
If, letting other sword cultivators know what was in Zhang Ruochen’s mind, they would definitely be infuriated.
One must know that many other sword cultivators had reached the “True Realm” or the “Supreme Realm” before they realised the Seven Swords and became Sword Saints. Moreover, the sword cultivators who were able to become Sword Saints were all the most rare existences among sword cultivators.
Zhang Ruochen was only at the lower realm of Saint, and his sword Dao attainments were already on the verge of catching up with the Sword Saint, but he still didn’t know how to be satisfied, how could he not make people feel angry?
In addition to the improvement in sword dao, Zhang Ruochen’s holy dao perception also far exceeded that of other Lower Realm Saints.
In other words, Zhang Ruochen no longer needed to spend time individually to perceive the Holy Dao, as long as there were enough precious cultivation resources, after refining and absorbing them, the cultivation realm would naturally rise.
From inside his spatial ring, Zhang Ruochen took out the Dragon Pearl and held it in the palm of his hand.
“Refining the Dragon Pearl should allow me to raise my cultivation level to the peak of the Lower Realm Saint.”
Zhang Ruochen was very eager to raise his cultivation realm and enhance his battle power to fight against the Death Knights sent out by the Immortal God Temple with his own strength.
With every point of strength raised, the chances of winning would be greater.
Zhang Ruochen’s hands closed together and squeezed the Dragon Bead.
Originally, the human head-sized dragon pearl became only the size of a pigeon egg.
Zhang Ruochen swallowed the dragon pearl into his stomach, and in his mind, the Holy Qi operation route of the seventh layer of the Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Sutra emerged, and he went all out to refine it.
Inside his body, the dragon pearl transformed into a ball of gas.
A single Saint Dao rule flew out from inside the gas, following the Saint Vein and rushing into the Sea of Qi.
In the Sea of Qi, Zhang Ruochen’s Sword Dao Saint Source was suspended.
The Sword Dao Sacred Source, much like a palm-sized crystal, radiated a brilliant light.
The Sacred Dao Rules in the Dragon Pearl entered the Qi Sea and immediately rotated around the Sacred Source, rotating for nine weeks in a row, and then rushed into the interior of the Sacred Source.
The Saint Dao Rules in the Sword Dao Saint Source became denser and denser.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation level was also growing rapidly, and every quarter of an hour that passed was comparable to other Lower Realm Saints cultivating for a month.
There was no telling how long it took to pass, Zhang Ruochen had absorbed 80% of the Dragon Pearl’s Essence Qi, his cultivation had reached the peak of a Lower Realm Saint, and the Saint Qi in his body had become incomparably full, to the point that he could not even control it.
Zhang Ruochen hurriedly stopped absorbing the essence qi of the dragon pearl and went all out to suppress the raging holy qi in his body.
Only when it stabilised did Zhang Ruochen let out a slight sigh of relief, “Finally reaching the peak of the Lower Realm Saint realm, it’s not too late to wait until we have full control of the power within our bodies before refining the remaining 20% of the power.”
Zhang Ruochen carried the remaining 20% of the Dragon Pearl’s power through the Sacred Vein and carried it to the Qi Sea, temporarily sealing it away.
Having already reached the peak of the Lower Realm Saint realm, it looked like it would be difficult to make any further progress before breaking through to the Middle Realm Saint. However, Zhang Ruochen felt that he still had a lot of room for improvement and had not truly reached the limit of the Lower Realm Saint realm.
Whether it was the Saint Dao rules contained in the Sword Dao Saint Source or the Saint Qi, it was all obtained from absorbing the Dragon Pearl, so it wasn’t exactly pure. As long as it continued to be consolidated and tempered, there would definitely be a greater increase.
“Gah.”
Suddenly, outside the cabin, an odd sound rang out, much like the laughter emitted by an evil spirit shadow.
The strange sound came from far away and gradually became clear.
“Not good, it’s that evil shadow again.”
Zhang Ruochen could clearly feel a chilly air current that came over his face.
Zhang Ruochen had seen the power of the Evil Spirit Shadow, so he immediately collected his body’s aura, and his body shrank within the interior of the Ten Sacred Blood Armour, lying flat on the ground as if he had transformed into a dead body.
“Gah.”
The sinister laughter became closer, hovering just outside the cabin.
Zhang Ruochen had never seen such a bizarre and unpredictable thing before, and was completely at a loss as to what tactics to use against it, so he could only continue to play dead, hoping to fool it.
The Ten Sacred Blood Armour was truly a treasure, and it had actually concealed the Evil Spirit Shadow.
Not long after, the laughter of the Evil Spirit Shadow, gradually faded away.
Zhang Ruochen stood up from the ground, and only just breathed a sigh of relief when a “giggling” sound came from outside the cabin, as if someone was using some kind of sharp weapon to cut the cabin’s copper door.
“Surprisingly, they didn’t leave?”
Zhang Ruochen’s hands lifted up, mobilising his spatial power and preparing to perform a spatial shift to escape.
“Boom.”
The copper door of the cabin was torn to shreds, and Little Black rushed in from outside, letting out a hefty laugh, “Zhang Ruochen, it took this Emperor several days to finally find you. How did you manage to hide in the lowest level of the Undead Ancient Ship?”
“So it’s you.”
Zhang Ruochen put away his spatial power and said, “Still not hiding from the ghostly shadows on the Undead Ancient Ship, you should know what they are, right?”
Little Black nodded his furry round head and said, “That’s the Evil Saint Idea Body.”
“Is it a living spirit, or an undead spirit?”Zhang Ruochen asked.
“Neither a living spirit nor an undead spirit.”
Xiao Hei was thinking about how to explain it to Zhang Ruochen for a long time before he added, “Every Demi-Saint and Saint has a Holy Thought, but no one can explain what a Holy Thought is. This Emperor believes that the so-called Holy Thoughts are actually a kind of perception of Half-Saints and Saints.”
“On this Undead Ancient Ship, many Half-Saints and Saints had died, and all the way here, this Emperor has seen countless skeletons. Their Saint Souls, all of them have disappeared.”
“However, their Saint Thoughts, for some unknown reason, have combined together and transformed into ferocious Evil Saint Thought Bodies. Both living and undead spirits will be attacked by them.”
Zhang Ruochen frowned and said, “A Holy Thought is just a thought of a Saint, and a thought is able to cultivate into shape and erupt into a power even more terrifying than that of a Saint?”
Little Black said, “That’s why this Emperor said that this Undead Ancient Ship is quite bizarre. Anyway, when encountering an Evil Saint Mind Body, it’s best to choose to avoid it, and your hiding in the lowest level of the Undead Ancient Ship is indeed quite a wise act.”
Zhang Ruochen was about to enquire about the way to deal with the Evil Saint Idea Body, but Xiao Hei asked him first, saying, “Zhang Ruochen, behind you, why is there a person sitting there? Who is he? A drunken lunatic?”
“Someone? There’s someone there?”
Zhang Ruochen felt that Little Black was just talking nonsense and didn’t care.
Little Black stretched out a cat paw and pointed behind Zhang Ruochen, saying, “Don’t you see it? There really is a person sitting there.”
Earlier, Zhang Ruochen had used Spatial Shift to come to this airtight cabin, and had been going all out with his cultivation, and hadn’t even looked closely at his surroundings.
Only when he saw that Xiao Hei did not look like he was joking, did Zhang Ruochen turn around and look over towards the corner.
In this instant, Zhang Ruochen’s vest became cold and his scalp felt as if it was going to explode, because, right in the corner of the cabin, there was actually a person sitting there.
To be exact, it should be a dead person.
