With the Sacred Jade Waist Tag, Zhang Ruochen easily met one of the Barbarian Sword Great Sage’s Sacred Soul Branches, and then, told him about himself.
The Barbarian Sword Great Sage’s Holy Soul Doppelganger was hundreds of feet tall, as if it was condensed from a Holy Qi cloud, radiating an aura that was just as terrifying as the main body.
After listening to Zhang Ruochen’s narration, the Barbarian Sword Great Sage revealed a strange expression and said, “Did you not have a master before?”
“There was. However, I haven’t seen a master for a long time and have always learnt on my own.”Zhang Ruochen said.
“So that’s how it is.”
The Barbarian Sword Great Sage understood what was going on and said, “You may not know that after a Saint’s realm passes through the Thoroughfare Realm, it will be more about the cultivation of the rules of the Holy Dao.”
“The Thoroughfare Realm is the condensation of rules into form.”
“The True Realm is the transformation of emptiness into truth.”
“The Supreme Realm is to be true to the core.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed, revealing a puzzled expression.
The things that the Barbarian Sword Great Sage was speaking about were things that he had never heard before, and thus, felt somewhat unfamiliar.
The Barbarian Sword Great Sage could see that Zhang Ruochen didn’t seem to be clear about the wonders of the three realms, and so, in an easy-to-understand manner, he explained to him, “The rules of the Sacred Dao that you have previously comprehended are, in fact, intangible and are just a line of rules. Now, you have to take those rule lines and condense them into a shape.”
“For example, if you condense the Saint Dao rules in your body, into the shape of a tower, then you will be able to immediately break through to the Tongtian Realm, and the tower-shaped Saint Dao rules will be known as your Tongtian Tower.”
“Condensing the Saint Dao Rules into the shape of a sword is the TongTian Sword.”
Zhang Ruochen instantly understood and said, “So that’s how it is. However, the Saint Dao Rules have already fused with the Saint Soul and Saint Source, so how can they be condensed into shape?”
The Barbarian Sword Great Sage laughed, “The rules condensing into shape were originally born within the Holy Soul and Holy Source.”
Zhang Ruochen roughly understood the way to break through to the Heavenly Realm, and then, asked, “And what does transforming emptiness into truth mean?”
The Barbarian Sword Great Sage continued to explain, saying, “Even if your rules coalesce and take shape, reaching the Tong Tian Realm, the rules are still in a state of emptiness. You have to make the rules of nothingness, shed into the rules of true existence. In this way, you will also reach the True Realm and can be called a True Saint.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “What about to the True and Ultimate?”
“It’s very simple, it’s to continuously condense the Saint Dao rules, making them incredibly strong, as if they were forged from Saint Iron and could not be destroyed. When you reach that level, you will also break through to the Supreme Realm and be considered a Supreme Saint.”
Zhang Ruochen had a feeling of enlightenment, remembering the three phrases, “Rule Condensation”, “Transforming the Void into Truth”, and “Supreme Truth”, then, clasping his hands, he bowed to the Barbarian Sword Great Sage anda bow and said, “Many thanks to the Great Sage for his guidance.”
“There’s no harm in it, Lord Moon God has asked you to follow this seat to cultivate together, this seat naturally knows everything. Right ……”
As if remembering something, the Barbarian Sword Great Sage added, saying, “If you want to impact the Heavenly Realm, there is a shortcut you can take.”
“What shortcut?”Zhang Ruochen hurriedly asked.
The Barbarian Sword Great Sage said, “In the Red Dragon Sacred Land, there is a Tongtian Cave, a cultivation treasure left behind by a great man. Cultivating inside the Heavenly Cave, the rules can be condensed and shaped more easily, which should save a lot of time.”
Zhang Ruochen bowed again and saluted the Barbarian Sword Great Sage, then, walked out of the Red Dragon Sacred Hall.
“I’m going to go into seclusion in the Red Dragon Sacred Ground to impact the Heavenly Realm, so you go back to the Yuanxu Peak Sacred Ground first.”
Zhang Ruochen explained to Xiao Hei, and immediately after, he followed a Half-Saint and travelled in the direction of the Heavenly Cave.
“For the sake of cultivation, he really doesn’t want to lose a moment, he’s almost turning into a martial arts nerd.”
Little Black stared at Zhang Ruochen’s back and shook a big furry head, spreading his wings, he returned to the Yuanxu Peak Sacred Ground.
Deep within the Red Dragon Sacred Temple was an island of holy stones suspended in mid-air, which was the place where the Barbarian Sword Great Sage trained.
In the Kunlun Realm, Sacred Stones were quite rare treasures, each one was worth a fortune and contained incomparably dense Sacred Qi.
However, that island was completely condensed from holy stones. If the great saints of the Kunlun Realm were to see it, they would definitely feel ashamed, and compared to the Barbarian Sword Great Sage, they were all paupers.
At this moment, the real body of the Barbarian Sword Great Sage was sitting on top of the holy stone island, drinking a pot of holy wine with the Nine Spirits Great Sage, another Great Sage of the Guanghan Realm.
The Nine Spirits Great Sage’s true body wasn’t a human, but a Nine Spirits divine Bird, with a very powerful divine beast bloodline in his body, and was one of the Great Sages in the Broad Cold Realm that had the best chance of impacting the God Realm.
At this moment, the Nine Spirits Great Sage took the form of an old man with the face of a crane child, wearing a wide holy robe, which was embroidered with the patterns of nine kinds of spirit birds.
The Nine Spirits Great Sage seemed to look rather old, yet the eyes beneath his white eyebrows were filled with a sharp light, as if a single glance could pierce through heaven and earth.
The Nine Spirits Great Sage stroked his beard and said, “He is the Saint that Lord Moon God brought back?”
“That’s right.”
The Barbarian Sword Great Sage stared over towards the Nine Spirits Great Sage, revealing a dawning expression as he said, “This seat understands somewhat! You, Old Ancestor Nine Spirits, rarely come to the Red Dragon Sacred Realm for hundreds of years, and when you came to visit today, this seat thought that you were here to discuss swords, but I didn’t realise that it was because you wanted to see him.”
“For a Saint to actually be able to receive the Moon God’s regard, anyone would be curious, wouldn’t they?”The Nine Spirits Great Sage laughed.
Behind the Nine Spirits Great Sage, there stood a green-clothed girl with a delicate figure, her petite body shrouded within a circle of holy light, appearing exceptionally noble and clear, giving off an unattainable feeling.
This girl, named Su Qingling, was the granddaughter of the Nine Spirits Great Sage, and was the topmost Heaven’s Pride girl in the entire Guanghan Realm, and one of the few characters who could enter the 《Saint’s Merit Ranking》at the True Saint realm.
Of course, it was the Broad Cold Realm’s 《Saint Merit List》.
A smirk appeared on Su Qingling’s face, not even hiding her contempt for Zhang Ruochen as she said, ”He actually doesn’t even know how to impact the Heavenly Realm, he’s a complete rash. I really don’t understand why the supreme Moon Goddess would value him?”
The Nine Spirits Great Sage was very clear about his granddaughter’s character, this little girl’s vision was very high, and amongst the saints in the entire Broad Cold Realm, there would never be more than five characters that could make her look at her more than once.
The Nine Spirits Great Sage said, “Qing girl, that little guy is not rash, others have already become saints in the flesh, their strength is not weak.”
Su Qingling obviously didn’t think that becoming a Saint in flesh was that powerful, tossing her red mouth, she said, “So what if I’ve become a Saint in flesh? Among the saints of the Guanghan Realm, there are thirty to forty beings who have cultivated to the point of flesh body becoming saints, if not fifty, right?”
The Barbarian Sword Great Sage said, “It is true that fleshly body sainthood can only be considered excellent, and it is not enough to enter Lord Moon God’s divine eye. But, what if we add in the four Supreme Extreme Realms and the Five Elements Chaotic Body?”
This time, Su Qingling could no longer remain calm, and a look of astonishment appeared in her green-coloured saintly eyes as she said, “He actually possesses the Supreme Perfection Physique?”
“That’s right, it’s the Supreme Perfection Physique.”The Barbarian Sword Great Saint said.
The Nine Spirits Great Sage stroked his chin and laughed, “I didn’t look closely just now, but I didn’t expect it to be a Supreme Perfection Physique.”
The so-called Supreme Perfection Physique was the cultivation of the physique to the most complete and extreme degree. To reach that degree, then one needed to fulfil three conditions:
First, the physical body becomes a saint.
Second, in the four realms of the Martial Dao, one needed to reach the Supreme Extreme Realm in each realm.
Second, one must possess one of the strongest physiques.
The True God’s Body, the Five Elements Chaotic Body, and the Thousand Bones Physique were all one of the strongest physiques, but of course, the strongest physiques were not limited to these three. In the records of the Heavenly Court Realm, a total of ten strongest physiques had appeared.
Only when the above three conditions were met could one be called a Supreme Perfection Physique, and in the same realm, one would possess supreme strength, crushing all opponents.
Su Qingling said, “Even Wu Hao, who is ranked number one in the Broad Cold Realm’s Sage Merit List, only possesses a Perfection Physique, and is still one step short of a Supreme Perfection Physique.”
Behind the Barbarian Sword Great Sage, there stood a young man named Bu Ji, who was the personal disciple of the Barbarian Sword Great Sage.
Earlier, Bu Ji’s gaze had been fixed on Su Qingling’s body with an infatuated look.
It was only when he heard the name “Wu Hao” that Bu Ji came to his senses, revealing a strong battle intent in his eyes as he said, “Don’t worry, sister Qing Ling, even if Wu Hao possesses a perfect physique, I will definitely be able to defeat him.”
Su Qingling rolled her eyes and said, “Where exactly did your head grow? We are now talking about that fellow who possesses the supreme consummate physique, if you are capable, you go and defeat him.”
“Who? Who possesses the Supreme Perfection Physique? I’ll go defeat him right now.”Bu Ji’s fists were clenched, and the one hundred and forty-four orifices of his entire body opened up, surging out a raging fluctuation of the Saint Dao.
This person appeared to be a bit naive and foolish, but he was a Heaven’s Pride who had become a Saint with his fleshly body.
A bitter smile appeared on the Barbarian Sword Great Sage’s face as he sighed.
The Nine Spirits Great Sage’s expression corrected as he said, ”The two of you must remember that even if the other party’s physique is powerful, it is not invincible. A person’s strength, their physique is only one aspect. If you are able to cultivate powerful Saint Arts or have an advantage above the Saint Dao rules, you can still defeat them.”
Su Qingling pretended to nod, however, a pair of holy eyes were staring in the direction of the Tongtian Cavern, revealing a look of eagerness to try, eager to know if the Supreme Perfection Physique was really as powerful as the legends.
The Barbarian Sword Great Sage and the Nine Spirits Great Sage began to discuss another major event.
The Nine Spirits Great Sage’s expression became serious as he said, ”It is said that the Ancestral Spirit Realm battlefield in the Western Universe is on the verge of being completely shattered, with all living beings having died out, even that God of the Ancestral Spirit Realm has died in battle, and yet another great world has been destroyed by the Inferno Realm. The next battlefield will definitely be chosen from amongst our Shatuo Seven Realms, and I hope it won’t be the Guanghan Realm.”
The Barbarian Sword Great Sage’s expression was also a bit dark as he said, “A great world, once it is chosen as a battlefield, is also destined to be destroyed. Originally, in the Shatuo Heavenly Realm, our Guanghan Realm was the weakest and most likely to become a victim. Now there is a ray of hope, after all, the Kunlun Realm is even weaker than us.”
“Thirty years ago, how could the Ancestral Spirit Realm not be one of the seven realms of Shatuo? In just thirty years, a glorious and flourishing great world was shattered into dust.”
The Nine Spirits Great Sage said with great bitterness, “I suspect that the Seven Realms Merit War will be opened shortly, officially selecting the Great Worlds with the least potential to be the new battlefield for the fight with the Hell Realm. At that time, we must fight with all our might, and absolutely not let the Guanghan Realm become the next Ancestral Spirit Realm. Fight for survival, fight for our descendants not to be enslaved.”
