The Deadly Zen Old Ancestor wore a large red robe and rode an eccentric savage beast.
The reason why I said that the savage beast was odd was because, it had the head of a tiger, but had the ears of a dog, the body of a lion, and its four paws were dragon claws, as if it was a quadruple statue.
The saints in the makeshift tent rushed out as if they were enemies, surrounding the Deadly Zen Old Ancestor in the centre, fearing that he would be detrimental to Zhang Ruochen.
In the entire Kunlun Realm, it could be said that there were only a handful of characters who could catch the Queen’s strike and still survive, and it just so happened that Old Ancestor Deadly Chan was one of them. Based on this one battle record, Old Man Deadly Zen was enough to stand proudly in the world.
Of course, that was five hundred years ago.
Nowadays, in the entire Kunlun Realm, there was no one who was a one-trick pony for the Empress.
King Ming Jiang’s eyes carried a scornful look, but he still stopped the strange savage beast and raised his voice, “Old Ancestor Deadly Zen, didn’t you swear that you wouldn’t step into the Kunlun Realm for half a step again?”
Old Ancestor Deadly Zen had a smile on his face, without a trace of evil in his body, as if he were an old monk with profound Buddhist teachings, he folded his hands together and said, “A detachment, just a detachment.”
King Ming Jiang was a little puzzled because, with his cultivation, he couldn’t tell that it was just a bilocation.
Moreover, it was just a bilocation that surprisingly caused him a great deal of oppression as well.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen, dressed in a golden silk royal robe with a heroic aura, walked out from the tent and said, “The Old Ancestor is a friend that this Prince has invited, so everyone step back and continue to do what they need to do.”
All the saints present, including then family heads and leaders of organisations, all looked at each other in disbelief.
This Crown Prince was really handy, being able to recall the Dragon Protector Pavilion was still reasonable, and now, to be able to invite such a figure as the Deadly Zen Old Ancestor, it was really unconvincing.
Entering the tent, Old Ancestor Deadly Zen was the one who said in admiration, “Little Scholar Zhang is actually the son of Emperor Ming, the Crown Prince of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire, no wonder he couldn’t look down on the position of the Buddha Son of the Deadly Zen Sect in the first place.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to say those polite words and opened the door, “Old Ancestor should know the purpose of this Crown Prince inviting you here, right?”
The Deadly Zen Old Ancestor laughed, “In order to repay the promise owed to him, Little Scholar Zhang rushed to stir up the world’s winds and clouds just for the sake of a red smile. In order to repay the owed favour, the poor monk naturally wants to help.”
In front of a powerful person like Old Ancestor Deadly Zen, Zhang Ruochen still acted calm and collected without a trace of pressure as he said, “Old Ancestor is only a detached body coming, can you also call it a great help?”
The Deadly Zen Old Ancestor said, “The poor monk has already refined the Divine Corpse into a Battle Corpse, so he can use the Deadly Zen Buddhist Dharma to drive it. The battle power of the Divine Battle Corpse exploded out, but it is a bit more powerful than the Poverty Monk’s own body.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyelids fluttered, and in his heart, he couldn’t help but admire the Death Zen Elder Ancestor.
One must know that gods, even if they had died, still had incomparably powerful divine thoughts remaining in their corpses, so how could they possibly be willing to be refined into a war corpse and be enslaved?
However, the Deadly Zen Old Ancestor had managed to do so!
Since the Deadly Chan Old Ancestor had brought the divine corpse to the Kunlun Realm, Zhang Ruochen was still able to accept it, and then, he called Han Qiu out and asked her to tell the Deadly Chan Old Ancestor the details of the plan to deal with the Fire Nation.
After hearing this, Old Ancestor Deadly Chan stared deeply at Han Chu, a strange colour flashing in his eyes as he said, “In the world, there is really someone who can comprehend the Way of Darkness, not simple, really not simple.”
Han Qiu just let out a cold smile and clasped his hands in front of his chest, surprisingly, there was no pressure at all as well.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Could Old Ancestor accompany her on a trip to the Fire Realm?”
Old Ancestor Deadly Zen smiled and said, “The Divine Primordial Ghost King and the Divine Battle Corpse are originally the souls and corpses of the same God, so they can be considered one and the same. This time, if there is an opportunity, the poor monk would love to take it in together and fuse it with the Divine Battle Corpse, saying that it would not necessarily be able to bring the power of the Divine Battle Corpse to the next level.”
“In that case, this Prince will be in the Central Region, waiting for your good news.”
In fact, Zhang Ruochen also wanted to make a trip to the Fire Domain to personally meet the “Qiu Yu” who was claimed to be the number one in the world in the same realm, but unfortunately, he really couldn’t get away, as he had to run to several places every day to access a large number of clansmen of the old Saint Ming clan into the Qiankun Realm.
After the Deadly Zen Old Ancestor and Han Chu left, Zhang Ruochen went to find Ah Le and told him about joining the Dragon Protector Pavilion.
Ah Le sat by the river and fished, and according to him, he wasn’t catching fish, he was catching life. It was because, he knew how to capture life, so every time after falling into death, he managed to come back to life.
While everyone else was passively waiting for death, he, on the other hand, was participating in enlightenment, how to actively capture life.
“OK.”
Ah Le replied with just one word.
Zhang Ruochen sat down next to him and stared at the turbulent river, saying, “The water’s flow is so fast that the fish can’t stop at all, so how would they have a chance to eat your bait?”
“That means the water is alive.”Ah Le said.
Zhang Ruochen laughed, knowing that the world in his eyes was not the same as the world in his eyes at all, so he did not ask more questions on this.
“You’ve fought with Qiu Yu, how strong is he?”Zhang Ruochen’s expression was serious.
“Very strong.”
Ah Le said, “When I hadn’t crossed the seventh turn, I was completely no match for him, and I didn’t have a 10% chance of winning. As for now, there should be a fifty per cent chance of killing him and a fifty per cent chance of being killed by him.”
One must know that Ah Le was able to kill a peak True Saint with a single sword, and I’m afraid that his strength was already able to match that of an early stage Supreme Saint. Qiu Yu was actually able to fight him 50/50 in life and death, such strength was truly somewhat heaven-defying.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed as he said, “As far as I know, you weren’t even able to heavily injure him when you hadn’t crossed the seventh turn.”
“Firstly, he was too gullible at that time. Second, I paid the price of my life while he was only seriously injured.”
Ah Le continued, “My Death Sword Dao has only one sword. To be able to block one of my swords without dying only means that the other party is far too powerful than me.”
“Moreover, I’ve only just completed the seventh turn now, and I still have to go through at least ten more life and death perils before I can reach the peak of the seventh turn. Every time I go through a life and death peril, my strength will increase by a large margin. Give me some more time to go through the Life and Death Perilous Realm one or two more times, and if I’m still alive, I’ll definitely kill him for you.”
Zhang Ruochen patted Ah Le’s shoulder and laughed, “Since Qiu Yu is a Sycamore Divine Tree, which is the body of a True God, he can be called a Junior Divine Spirit, and he’s a very good opponent. If you kill him, where will I find an opponent?”
With that, Zhang Ruochen stood up and walked back.
Ah Le’s voice, coming from behind him, said, “Killing a tree is not the same as killing someone. There are many ways to kill someone, but killing a tree involves chopping off the trunk and destroying the roots.”
“Hear that!”
Zhang Ruochen did not stop and had disappeared into the horizon.
It had to be said that Qiu Yu was indeed a rather formidable opponent, when he was in the Green Dragon Market Realm, only he, Qi Sheng, and the Heaven’s Destiny Corpse Emperor, were able to fight against Zhang Ruochen.
To be able to claim to be the number one in the world in the same realm was not without reason.
The most important thing Zhang Ruochen needed to raise right now was his cultivation, and fortunately, it was the easiest thing for him.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current understanding of the Sacred Dao, which was far past the early stage of the Earth-Clearing Realm, he only needed to refine a Sacred Pill, or a Sacred Pill, and he would be able to raise it quickly.
When he captured the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, he had obtained quite a number of Holy Pills and Sacred Pills.
Zhang Ruochen sent out a spiritual force, and a moment later, Qin Yutong personally delivered a cultivation-enhancing Holy Pill and placed it on top of Zhang Ruochen’s table.
Zhang Ruochen twisted the Holy Pill and identified it, saying, “Surprisingly, it’s a Spirit Charge Pill, the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion still has such a treasure.”
The Spirit Charge Pill, which reached the level of a mid-grade Holy Pill, was also very helpful in raising the cultivation of True Saints and Supreme Saints.
Even a first-grade Saint Pill was unattainable and quite rare.
Even a power like the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion had only found a mid-grade Saint Pill that could be used to raise their cultivation, thus showing how precious the Spirit Charge Pill was.
For the rest of the time, Zhang Ruochen was cultivating while rushing to all the major state capitals to receive the clansmen of the old Sacred Brightness clan, working around the clock, not daring to stop for a single moment to rest.
……
Southern Domain, Fire Realm.
A few days ago, Qiu Yu had already received the news that Zhang Ruochen had led an army to destroy the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, however, he still appeared to be calm, not having the rhythm of his life disrupted, and was going all out in his cultivation every day and every night.
This was because, he also understood the truth that not advancing was to retreat.
The Nine Great Realm Sons, Zhang Ruochen, the Heavenly Fate Corpse Emperor, and those top-notch ancient relic species in the Savage Wasteland, each one of them was a being capable of being invincible in an era.
The slightest slacking off could result in being crossed over.
An elder of the Fire Race, walked in and appeared below Autumn Rain, saying, “There is already solid information that Zhang Ruochen is indeed in control of a world, and furthermore, the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood is rooted in that world, sprouting seedlings.”
Qiu Yu temporarily stopped his cultivation, and a smile appeared on his handsome face as he said, “Great! Did you find out where that world is?”
That Fire Race Elder shook his head and said, “We’ve already asked the Fighting Heavenly King to use the power of the Ministry of War to probe the major market worlds, and no news has been sent back yet.”
“No matter, anyway, Zhang Ruochen will definitely appear on the seventh day of next month. At that time, as long as we capture him, are we still afraid that we won’t be able to find the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood?”Qiu Yu said indifferently.
That Fire Race elder said, “Zhang Ruochen was able to destroy the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, the power he holds must be quite huge, and I’m afraid that if we want to capture him, the Fire Race will have to pay a great price.”
Qiu Yu gently touched his nose, smiled faintly, and added, “Why do we need to do it personally? Spread the news out and say that by using the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood as nourishment, my lifespan can be doubled and I will be able to become the World Spirit of the Kunlun Realm much earlier.”
“Whoever can help us capture Zhang Ruochen and seize the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood will be my eternal friend with the Fire Clan. When I become the World Spirit, he can take his clan and cultivate in the place closest to the Sycamore Divine Tree and, in addition, he can be sheltered by me.”
That Fire Clan Elder laughed, “If this news spreads out, I’m afraid that many forces will rush to deal with Zhang Ruochen on the seventh day of the seventh month next month. Lol.”
“That’s natural ……”
“Boom.”
Suddenly, the entire heaven and earth shook violently, shocking that Fire Race Elder and Qiu Yu, who almost planted themselves on the ground.
“What happened?”
Qiu Yu’s face sank as he looked upwards, only to see that a dense ghostly aura covered the sky, causing the hot Fire Realm to become somewhat chilly.
