There were only two leaves left on top of the Seven Star Divine Ling, one blazing like fire, as if it was a blazing sun; one bright and gloomy, like a bright moon.
It was important to know that the periphery of the Divine Soil Pill Garden was arranged with layers of formations that could block outsiders from breaking in and entering.
It was because of this reason that Zhang Ruochen was relieved to leave the Divine Medicines and Sacred Medicines in the Qiankun Realm, hoping that the medicinal properties would become stronger after experiencing the baptism of the opening of the heavens and the earth.
Who would have expected that they would actually break through the formation by all means?
“A blunder!”
Zhang Ruochen rubbed his temples and tried to calm himself down, saying, “The medicinal power of the Divine Pill is so huge, with their cultivation and physical body, how could they possibly withstand it?”
In the past, one of the biggest reasons why Zhang Ruochen had not swallowed the Divine Pill was because he could not withstand the Divine Pill’s massive medicinal properties.
At this moment, Princess Baili was also standing inside the Pill Garden, a snow-white tail swaying below her hips as she said, “When the heavens and earth first opened, chaos was born. The rules of heaven and earth will change drastically, and all living beings staying in the Qiankun Realm will receive a baptism from Houtian to Innate, and during this process, it is possible to digest the divine medicines without having to worry about being propped up to self-destruct.”
“That is to say, you also have a share?”Zhang Ruochen said.
Princess Baili’s small mouth pursed and didn’t deny it as she said, “The White Tiger Leaf was eaten by me.”
Zhang Ruochen felt a headache and said, “What White Tiger Leaves are you a cat eating?”
“The White Tiger Leaf represents power, after swallowing it, I’m not just as simple as my flesh becoming a saint, with my current physique, I should be considered the top of the line amongst the Ancient Remnant Species.”Princess Baili said.
Continuing to talk with Princess Baili, Zhang Ruochen learnt that the Green Dragon Leaf was eaten by the Potentate and the Xuanwu Leaf was eaten by the Demonic Ape.
Luckily, the two most important leaves of the Seven Star Divine Ling were still there, otherwise, Zhang Ruochen would most likely have been really pissed off and spit out blood.
Zhang Ruochen sent a voice message to Pot Pot and Devil Ape respectively, telling them to meet him at the base of the tree of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood.
Zhang Ruochen and Princess Baili rushed over first and stood under the tree, only to see that, the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood had become even thicker and lusher, with its trunk towering all the way into the clouds, emitting an incomparably powerful aura.
Each of its leaves seemed to be breathing and exhaling, surprisingly, Wood Spirit Sacred Qi.
It is important to know that in the Qiankun Realm, the five elements of Qi can be transformed into each other, the Wood Spirit Sacred Qi can be transformed into the Fire Spirit Sacred Qi, and the Fire Spirit Sacred Qi can be transformed into the Earth Spirit Sacred Qi …….
The transformation of the five elements is endless.
In other words, living beings who cultivated in the Qian Kun Realm could directly absorb the Holy Qi to cultivate, unlike living beings in the Kunlun Realm, who could only absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
In the Kunlun Realm, a cultivator who could only cultivate to the Fish Dragon Realm would most likely be able to cultivate to the Half-Saint Realm in the Qiankun Realm.
In other words, the world grade of the Qiankun Realm was a bit higher than the Kunlun Realm.
Of course, the Kunlun Realm had also been incomparably brilliant and flourishing, far surpassing the current Qiankun Realm, only to fall after the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood was severed.
Recently, the rules of heaven and earth in the Kunlun Realm are changing, and it is very likely that a new heaven and earth spiritual root, a new earth sacred vein, or even a new god …… Anything is possible.
To say that the world grade of the Qiankun Realm is higher than the Kunlun Realm right now is obviously inaccurate.
The only undeniable point was that at this stage, the cultivation environment of the Qiankun Realm was indeed far superior to the Kunlun Realm.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “After becoming a Saint, how much of your memory has been recovered?”
“About half of it has been recovered, and there are still some memories that remain vague.”Princess Baili said.
Zhang Ruochen took out her Memory Source Pearl and threw it over.
Princess Baili received the Memory Source Pearl and stared deeply at Zhang Ruochen, feeling slightly surprised, saying, “I stole the Divine Pill, and instead of descending on you, you even returned the Memory Source Pearl to me?”
Zhang Ruochen carried his hands behind his back and said, “Stealing a divine pill is indeed a serious offence. However, the Ming Sect’s various reward and punishment systems are still unsound right now, so the mistake you made this time will not be pursued for the time being. Wait until the next time you make another mistake and punish it all together.”
The Divine Pill had already been stolen and eaten, so Zhang Ruochen couldn’t just take all three of them inside the Alchemy Furnace and boil them? Even if they were boiled, they might not be able to refine the divine medicines out again.
But doing something wrong had to be punished.
Because, Zhang Ruochen was not alone now, but was the Sect Leader of the Ming Sect. If there was no reward and punishment system, then the Ming Sect would only be in chaos, and it would be impossible for it to rise.
Princess Baili had already joined the Ming Sect and sworn allegiance to Zhang Ruochen, so naturally, she was also a member of the Ming Sect. Zhang Ruochen did not punish her now because, Princess Bai Li had made considerable achievements in the Qian Kun Realm.
During Zhang Ruochen’s absence, she had been the one to manage the Ming Sect and the subjects of the once Green Dragon Dynasty, and had taken care of them in a well-organised manner.
Princess Bai Li swallowed the Memory Source Pearl, and the memories of the past came flooding in like a tidal wave, making up for the lack of memories.
Princess Baili didn’t have much of an emotional fluctuation, only, her eyes became a few points colder as she said, “So that’s how it is.”
“After recalling everything that had happened, do you still plan to stay in the Ming Sect?”Zhang Ruochen asked.
Princess Baili’s aura became quite high and cold, and her eyes became deep and wise as she said, “With a world and the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood in your grasp, as well as the inheritance of time and space, you are destined to rise strongly. By joining the Ming Sect, I will be able to enjoy the best cultivation environment and receive the most abundant cultivation resources, so why should I leave?”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and smiled, “After regaining your memories, you’re finally a lot smarter than before, like someone who can do great things……. No, it should be a cat.”?Princess Baili said, “I am curious about one thing now, in the same realm, are you still my opponent? If yes, you can’t compare to me, why should I submit to you?”
“You think that after experiencing the baptism of the opening of the heavens and swallowing a divine pill, you are invincible in the same realm?”Zhang Ruochen wore a smile on his face, not fearing Princess Bai Li’s challenge at all.
Princess Baili was originally an ancient relic species, and her physique was many times more powerful than the Demonic Ape and the Pot.
Now that even the Demonic Ape and Potentate had undergone such an astonishing transformation, her enhancement was surely even more terrifying, and it naturally seemed normal for her to want to challenge Zhang Ruochen.
Princess Baili said, ”With my current physique and Saint Dao attainments, it wouldn’t be difficult to defeat the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon in the same realm. With this, it’s not enough to qualify to challenge you?”
Back then, the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon ranked second on the Half-Saint List, and was known to be invincible amongst the ancient relic species. Back then, Princess Baili was far from being its opponent.
Now that she had complete confidence in defeating the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon, it was evident that Princess Baili’s ascension must have been quite terrifying.
“There will be an opportunity, after we leave the Qiankun Realm, I will definitely fight you and convince you.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Zhang Ruochen himself was the Qiankun Realm, so his real body couldn’t descend here at all, he could only appear in the Qiankun Realm in the form of a doppelganger, so naturally, he couldn’t fight Princess Bai Li.
Next, Princess Bai Li reported to Zhang Ruochen about the situation of the Qian Kun Realm and the Ming Sect:
Nowadays, in the Qian Kun Realm, there were a total of more than 30 million humans, the vast majority of which were the natives of the Green Dragon Market Realm, and only a very small portion of which were cultivators from the Kunlun Realm.
Together with Princess Baili, Pot Pot, and Devil Ape, there were a total of thirteen Saint realm beings up and down the Ming Sect, and the most powerful of them all was the Blood Moon Ghost King.
Back then, a large number of Ninth Order Semi-Saint level savage beasts and Ninth Order Semi-Saint level natives had been admitted into the Qiankun Realm, and after experiencing the baptism of the beginning of the heavens and earth, it was only natural for some of them to break through to the Saint Realm.
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, ”Not bad, with the Ming Sect’s current strength, it’s already enough to call the shots of some of the top sects and medieval families. However, the Qiankun Realm is still too sparsely populated and needs to absorb more humans.”
Zhang Ruochen pondered in his mind that after leaving the Immortal Machine Mountain, he could gradually get in touch with the former old ministries of the Sacred Ming Central Dynasty, and as long as they were still loyal to him, all of them could be accessed to the Qiankun Realm for cultivation.
As long as the Qian Kun Realm and the Ming Sect grew, it would be his capital against Chi Yao and the First Central Empire.
The only regret was that after the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram was broken, the Qiankun Realm’s time flow became the same as the Kunlun Realm, and no longer had ten times the time.
The Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram, after all, was a temporal treasure, not a real world, and had many limitations that were completely incomparable to the Qian Kun Realm.
In the Kunlun Realm, there were less than ten space-time treasures in total, each of which was just like the Qiankun Divine Wood, capable of changing the proportion of time. Of course, they were all in the hands of the topmost forces, and to obtain any of them would be as difficult as heaven.
Among them, the Heavenly Wheel Seal, was the most precious of all the temporal treasures, far surpassing even the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram.
“I must find a way to go to the Chaotic Ten Thousand Realms Mountain to seize the Heavenly Wheel Seal before I can do so, as long as I possess it, I will be able to obtain thirty times the cultivation time. Only with the help of the Heavenly Wheel Seal can I catch up with Chi Yao.”Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
While Zhang Ruochen was thinking about his next plan, Pot Pot and Devil Ape came over as they dawdled and pushed each other, obviously knowing the reason why Zhang Ruochen had summoned them.
The Devil Ape appeared nervous, kneeling down on one knee and saying in a trembling voice, “Pay …… respects to master.”
Pot’s eyes rolled for a moment as he stretched out a claw to point at the Devil Ape and said, “It’s all the Devil Ape’s fault, it’s the one who took out the Sacred Pill from inside the Divine Earth Pill Garden and gave it to me to eat, I didn’t want to eat it, but it insisted on shoving it into my mouth, and if I didn’t eat it, it would beat me up. Zhang Ruochen, you don’t even know, when you weren’t around, I had to take ten full beatings every day ……?”?”In other words, you have to eat ten holy pills every day?”Zhang Ruochen said.
“No matter, how could I be that bold? It’s all because the Demon Ape forced its way into my mouth and I had to give in, I’m not as big as it is and I can’t beat it at all. Look, my arms are all fat, then look at its arms, every muscle is even more huge than my body, how could I resist?”
The pot pinched the soft meat on his arm, and then, with tears in his voice, he seemed to be really very aggrieved.
“You …… you shameless …… obviously you first take the lead, master …… master, never believe it, it is very shameless, quite shameless……”
The devil ape is not good at words, repeatedly just cursed a “shameless”, was angry to speak stuttering.
“Exactly who led the charge, my mind is clear. Both of you have stolen the Divine Pill, so you must also pay the corresponding price to make up for my loss.”Zhang Ruochen said.
The pot stared with a pair of eyes wide open, his teeth dejected, and he was so scared that he went limp and paralysed on the ground, saying, “I knew it, I’m sure that I’ll be thrown inside the furnace to be refined into an elixir ……”
“Finished …… finished, at that time I said that I must not steal food …… master will certainly chastise, you guys killed me ……”
Hearing the pot’s words, the devil apes were also scared to the point that their legs went weak and they sat down on their bums, letting out a loud rumbling sound as the earth trembled.
When Zhang Ruochen saw them in this abject state, he became even more angry in his heart and said, “When did I say that I’m going to throw you guys inside the furnace to be refined? Follow me out first, and when you reach Immortal Machine Mountain, you will understand how to make up for my loss.”
