Hearing Ling Fei Yu’s words, Zhang Ruochen revealed a thoughtful look.
A Sword Saint was not only cultivating the Sword Dao, but also cultivating the state of mind. If the state of mind was not sublimated, one would never be able to become a Sword Saint.
Ling Fei Yu took the initiative to ask, “How many lifetimes have you fused your memories and holy dao senses?”
“Six lives.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Ling Fei Yu appeared calm and simply nodded, saying, “Not bad, having such an experience will have countless benefits for your future cultivation.”
Zhang Ruochen was silent for a long time before he finally spoke up, “In the sixth life, we spent three hundred years together and had many unforgettable memories. Do you still remember that?”
A soft colour flashed in Ling Fei Yu’s eyes, and after a moment, it became incomparably sharp again as she said, “Inside the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Diagram, everything is illusory, so what’s the point?”
“Have you ever been in love with me?”
Zhang Ruochen stared at her eyes, and Ling Feiyu immediately avoided it, looking at the plum blossoms and snow on the trees again, saying, “What’s the point of asking this question?”
“I’m moved!”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to go against his true emotions and said it directly.
Ling Fei Yu’s fingers, couldn’t help but squeeze a few points tighter, even his breathing became disordered, obviously, the mood swings were a bit strong.
Zhang Ruochen added, “I don’t dare to fuse the memories of the seventh life, and have been restraining myself. Can you tell me what kind of experience we had in the seventh life?”
“Then never fuse it, there’s no point.”
The light of Ling Fei Yu’s eyes could no longer remain sharp, as if he was being pulled back into the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Diagram, the memories of his past coming in like a tidal wave.
“Pfft!”
A mouthful of blood was spat out from her mouth.
It was not until then that Zhang Ruochen realised that Ling Fei Yu had suffered a very serious injury, so he hurriedly wrapped his arms around her slender willow waist, took out a Fung Chun Dan, and fed it into her mouth.
Ling Fei Yu felt the heat coming from Zhang Ruochen’s palm, and her beautiful eyes glared coldly over, but, in the end, she did not break free, nor did she strike out to attack Zhang Ruochen.
If another man had dared to touch her waist, I’m afraid that his head would have already fallen to the ground.
“Injured from fighting with the Spirit King Sacred Ancestor?”Zhang Ruochen asked.
“I was slapped by the Four-Jacked Ghost King that he raised, but the Four-Jacked Ghost King had already been beaten to death by me, and the Spirit King Sacred Ancestor was also heavily injured by my sword. All told, I’m still stronger than him.”
Ling Fei Yu’s character was very strong, even if they fought to the death, they still had to calculate who won more and who lost more.
Ling Fei Yu was injured because she was protecting Concubine Lin, even if she was as strong as she was, Zhang Ruochen was still a bit heartbroken and said, “Spirit King Saint Ancestor, right? Tonight, I will go and behead him.”
“Don’t be impulsive? He’s already lost his Fourth Tribulation Ghost King, and when I recover from my injuries, where can he still be my opponent.”
Only those who had reached the Saint King realm would understand how huge the gap between a Saint and a Saint King was, and that it wasn’t with a powerful physique and battle armour that one could cross the line.
Ling Fei Yu was worried that Zhang Ruochen was so eager to take revenge that he would instead mess up and do something irrational.
“With the medicinal power of the Fung Chun Pill, it will only take three days at most for my injuries to heal. At that time, we’ll join forces together and exterminate all the forces of the Ghost Nurturing Ancient Clan and Corpse Catching Ancient Clan in the Central Imperial City.”Ling Feiyu said.
The Fung Chun Dan was indeed a holy elixir for healing injuries, however, for cultivators with higher cultivation levels, the healing effect would gradually diminish.
When a Saint was injured and took the Fung Chun Dan, within an hour, no matter how serious the injury was, it could be healed. However, a Saint King realm figure would need to take a much longer time to do so.
“Alright, then let them live for a few more days.”Zhang Ruochen said.
With the Saint Compatibility, Zhang Ruochen was confident in defeating the Spirit King Sacred Ancestor after his injury, but it was impossible to stop the Spirit King Sacred Ancestor from escaping.
If Ling Fei Yu’s injuries were healed, with the strength of the two of them, they would have a great chance of completely exterminating the Spirit King Saint Ancestor.
Taking on a Saint King was definitely a big deal, and if they were able to kill the Spirit King Saint Ancestor, it would be enough to stir up the world, causing all the saints in the world to reweigh the weight of the name “Zhang Ruochen”.
Zhang Ruochen asked Princess Baili to keep a close watch on the Mirror Villa, and if the Ghost Rearing Ancient Clan and Corpse Catching Ancient Clan made any major movements, or if the Heavenly Fate Corpse Emperor appeared, he had to be notified immediately.
Spending three days, Zhang Ruochen refined the second Sacred Pill and his cultivation reached the peak of the Upper Realm Saint in one fell swoop, his body felt like it was filled with inexhaustible power.
Making further efforts, Zhang Ruochen took out the Xuan Huang Dan and took it into his mouth, starting to impact the Xuan Huang Realm.
Only by comprehending the essence of Xuan Huang Qi, and then converting all the Saint Qi in his body, into Xuan Huang Qi, would he be considered to have reached the Xuan Huang Realm.
The Xuan Huang Qi was also known as “Xuan Huang Sacred Qi”, which belonged to a type of Sacred Qi, only that it was of a higher quality than normal Sacred Qi.
After swallowing the Xuan Huang Dan, there was no need for Zhang Ruochen to comprehend the essence of the Xuan Huang Sacred Qi at all, the Holy Dao Rules that gushed out from the Dan were the essence of the Xuan Huang Sacred Qi, and directly fused with Zhang Ruochen’s Holy Dao Rules.
The Xuanhuang Dan was condensed by a Great Sage of Spiritual Power, in other words, at this moment, Zhang Ruochen was as if he had received an initiation from a Great Sage of Spiritual Power.
Comprehending the essence of the Xuanhuang Sacred Qi, soon, the first strand of Xuanhuang Sacred Qi coalesced within Zhang Ruochen’s body.
Immediately after that, the second strand, the third strand ……
The Xuan Huang Sacred Qi in Zhang Ruochen’s body was increasing, but of course, to completely transform the Sacred Qi into Xuan Huang Sacred Qi was not a one-touch affair, and it would take a longer period of time.
“I’m now considered to have half a foot in entering the Xuan Huang Realm!”Zhang Ruochen would smile.
The Sacred Qi in Zhang Ruochen’s body, after being tempered by the Pure Destruction Divine Flame, was originally not much worse than the Xuan Huang Sacred Qi. It could be said that although the realm had yet to break through, Zhang Ruochen’s strength was already that of the Xuan Huang Realm.
Since he was unable to reach the Xuan Huang Realm for the time being, Zhang Ruochen chose to come out of seclusion and picked up the Blood Moon Ghost King, Potpourri, Devil Ape, Yellow Smoky Dust, and Qing Mo, all of them from the Qian Kun Realm.
All of them gathered together and began to discuss strategies to deal with the Ghost Raising Ancient Race and the Corpse Catching Ancient Race.
Zhang Ruochen’s intention was to act tonight.
……
…………
In the Bright Mirror Villa, Feng Yin Ying had long wanted to make a move, but was stopped by the Heavenly Fate Corpse Emperor.
The Heaven’s Destiny Corpse Emperor had returned two days ago, however, not only did he not help Feng Yinying, but he also prevented her from going to the Boundary Son Mansion. The more she waited, the stronger the anger in Feng Yinying’s heart became.
“If you don’t make a move, don’t stop me from making a move.”
Feng Yin Ying didn’t want to wait any longer, and gathered all of the strongest people from the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan and the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan, preparing to launch the strongest attack tonight.
“I’m stopping you from going because I don’t want you to die.”The Heaven’s Destiny Corpse Emperor finally spoke, stopping his cultivation, and opened a pair of clear eyes.
Still looking like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, young and handsome, his eyes were like two green jewels, his skin was glistening white, his body was full of spirituality, and the average person couldn’t even feel a trace of Corpse Qi from his body.
“Why?”Feng Yin Ying asked.
The eyes of the Heavenly Fate Corpse Emperor were somewhat deep as he said, “If I’m not wrong, Zhang Ruochen should have already arrived at the Central Imperial City.”
Feng Yin Ying’s expression was greatly shocked as he said, “The mysterious expert who injured Elder Li Sheng and Elder Linggu, is he the one? No, how do you know that he has come to the Central Imperial City?”
“If Zhang Ruochen knew that someone was trying to capture his mother, how could he not come to the Central Imperial City? There’s no more news of him in the Northern Domain, which means that he must have already left the Northern Domain. The answer isn’t very clear, is it?”The Heavenly Fate Corpse Emperor said.
Feng Yin Ying said, “Since Zhang Ruochen came to the Central Imperial City, he should have immediately fled with his mother, why did he still stay in the Boundary Son’s Mansion?”
“Naturally, he wants to deal with us.”The Heaven’s Destiny Corpse Emperor said.
“With him, he dares to call the shots of the two ancient clans?”
Feng Yin Yin Shadow let out a laugh, a sneer appearing on his face as he said, “If I were him, I should have chosen to hold back and immediately fled the Central Imperial City, perhaps I could still save a life.”
“Perhaps he is in the Boundary Son’s Mansion and has already served the Heavenly Dragnet, just waiting for you to take the bait.”The Heaven’s Destiny Corpse Emperor said.
Feng Yinying calmed down and felt that the Heavenly Fate Corpse Emperor had a point, in case Ruochen really rushed to the Central Imperial City and set up a large number of formations in the Boundary Son’s Mansion, she would indeed have to suffer a great loss if she ventured over there.
Feng Yinying said, ”Therefore, what we need to do now is to wait for a rabbit to wait for a rabbit to wait, so that Zhang Ruochen comes to break into the Bright Mirror Villa on his own initiative. In this way, we will have the home field advantage. Right?”
“That’s right, now it’s all about who’s more patient and who can hold their nerve better.”The Heavenly Fate Corpse Emperor said indifferently.
Feng Yin Yin Shadow smiled grimly and said, “I’m not as calm as you are, tonight, I’ll spread the news of his arrival in the Central Imperial City and force him to make the first move.”
“Foolish, if you do that, you will only scare him away. It would be better, to join forces with some lineages that have a background in the Ministry of Military Affairs and take the initiative to attack the Boundary Son House.”The Heaven’s Destiny Corpse Emperor said.
Feng Yinying said, “Unite them? Even if we capture Zhang Ruochen, the vast majority of the treasures will be taken by them, and, Zhang Ruochen will definitely be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. Wouldn’t we lose both our money and our people? Didn’t you want to seize Zhang Ruochen’s Five Elements Chaotic Body and God’s Fate?”
“So, this is the middle strategy. The real top strategy is still to wait for Zhang Ruochen to sink in first and take the initiative to attack us. Counting the time, Ling Fei Yu’s injuries should have already healed, and most likely, tonight is the time for them to strike.”
The Heavenly Fate Corpse Emperor’s eyes were very deep, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking, and it was like he was able to see through everything in the world, nothing could be hidden from him.
Feng Yin Ying’s face changed and said, “The Spirit King Sacred Ancestor’s injuries haven’t healed yet, I’m afraid I can’t stop Ling Fei Yu ……”
“What’s the panic? Do you think the formations in the Bright Mirror Villa are just for show? With this Emperor’s attainments in formations, even if a Saint King breaks in, he may not be able to walk out in one piece. Furthermore, in this Emperor’s hand, there is another card, so as long as they dare to come, they will definitely be left with no return.”The Heaven’s Destiny Corpse Emperor said with confidence as he held the pearl of wisdom in his hand.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen had also prepared a foolproof plan, firstly, he played a Transmission Light Talisman, telling Canglan Martial Saint the news that the Heavenly Fate Corpse Emperor was hiding in the Bright Mirror Villa.
Huang Yichen frowned, feeling that something was amiss, saying, “Although the Cang Lan Martial Saint has a friendship with you, but, after all, she is a member of the imperial court, loyal to the Empress, are you sure that she will help you deal with the Heaven’s Destiny Corpse Emperor?”
“Cang Lan Martial Saint is in the same faction as Wan Zhaoyi, and she definitely wishes to get rid of the threat of the Heaven’s Destiny Corpse Emperor earlier. All she needs to do is lead the army and destroy the formations of the Bright Mirror Villa, it’s not like she needs to personally deal with the Heaven’s Destiny Corpse Emperor. Such a small favour, I think she helped.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Huang Yichen said, “What if, when we are fighting to a standstill, she steps in to deal with you and the Heaven’s Destiny Corpse Emperor at the same time?”
“I have already considered this, and someone will hold her back at the right time.”?
Zhang Ruochen put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky, saying, “Now, we are just waiting for the night to fall. Tonight, it will be a bloody night.”
Playing against a Great Emperor level figure, Zhang Ruochen naturally had to be extremely careful and mobilise all the power he could.
Plotting was in the hands of the people, and success was in the hands of the heavens.
Next, let’s see who is the better chess player?
