Zhang Ruochen set up a large spatial maze formation, trapping the Saints from the Blade Prison Realm and the Violet Mansion Realm inside the formation, and then, it was time to follow the Sacred Spring Waterfall and silently sneak inside the Sacred Mountain.
In the palm of Han Chu’s hand, a dark light was scattered, wrapping the crowd inside.
In this way, even if the cultivators of the Purple Mansion Realm and the Blade and Prison Realm had even sharper perception abilities, it would be difficult for them to detect their aura.
Crazy Demon slung his iron rod over his shoulder and followed behind Zhang Ruochen as he asked, “Zhang Ruochen, how long can that formation you set up trap them?”
“They have lost their Saint Weapons and their attack power has slipped a lot, using the Spatial Maze Formation, we can at least trap them for half an hour.”Zhang Ruochen said.
“Half an hour …… is still a bit tight.”Crazy Demon said.
Han Qiu’s long black length was like a willow, hanging down to the ground as he let out a cold smile, “If it was me, I should have killed them all to put an end to the trouble.”
Hearing this, Crazy Demon felt a cold chill on his vest as he said, “The cultivators of the Seven Worlds, along with some of the bigwigs of the Heavenly Court Realm, are all watching from above the battlefield mirror image. If we really killed them, it would be a massacre, and back in the Heavenly Court Realm, we would also be sanctioned.”
Han Chu said coldly, “Are there fewer saints killed by the Purple Mansion Realm and the Blade Prison Realm?”
“It’s not the same at all! Although, the Heavenly Court Realm turns a blind eye to the fights between the major worlds, there is a bottom line, and when that bottom line is crossed, the Heavenly Court Realm will definitely intervene. Killing over a thousand Saints who have given up resistance is undoubtedly having crossed the Heavenly Court Realm’s bottom line.”Crazy Demon said.
Han Chu said, “If we don’t kill them, they will definitely bring a large number of Saints to kill us later.”
Ah Le, who had remained silent, finally spoke up, his voice rather raw, “Why bother continuing to dwell on this issue? In my opinion, whether we kill them or not, the result will be the same.”
Finally, they stopped arguing and quickened their pace, travelling towards the interior of the Sacred Mountain.
This great robbery at the Ugin Sacred Mountain was naturally seen by the cultivators of the seven worlds, and it was unknown how many cultivators were too shocked to speak.
More than a thousand Saints had been looted, and such a large-scale looting was done by just four Saints, not some veteran Saint King, or Great Saint.
“Too crazy!”
Such a thought surfaced in the minds of all the cultivators.
“The Saints of the Blade Prison Realm and the Violet Mansion Realm, they didn’t even resist, are they all soft? With their hearts, how on earth did they cultivate to the Saint realm?”
“Once more than a thousand Saints work together, it might not be impossible to exterminate Zhang Ruochen and Crazy Demon and the four of them.”
“In this battle, the Blade Prison Realm and the Violet Mansion Realm’s faces have been disgraced by them! What face do they have left to return to the Mother World?”
……
In this great ransacking, surprisingly, very few cultivators cursed Zhang Ruochen and the others, but more were abusing the Saints of the Blade Prison Realm and the Violet Mansion Realm. It wasn’t just that they felt that they had disgraced the Violet Mansion Realm and the Blade Prison Realm, but they had also disgraced the Heavenly Court Realm.
Even the cultivators of the Violet Mansion Realm and the Blade and Prison Realm hated them with a gnashing of teeth, feeling disgraced.
Those at the Great Saint level, however, all focused their attention on Han Qiu and Ah Le, the two Kunlun Realm Saints, who were a bit outrageously powerful.
Moreover, with their eyesight, even if they weren’t physically present at the battlefield, they could still see some subtle clues.
“Why do I have the feeling that that woman cultivates the Way of Darkness? The Saints of the Blade and Prison Realm and the Violet Mansion Realm are most likely suffering from the effects of the darkness power before they gave up their resistance.”
“With a human’s physique, it’s possible to withstand the darkness power without being revolted?”
“Regardless of whether she cultivates the Darkness Way or not, she is also definitely an extraordinary talent, when the Saints’ Merit Battle is over, someone must be sent to make contact with her.”
“If it wasn’t for the Saint Merit War, who would have thought that the Kunlun Realm would have so many top geniuses? If we give them another five hundred years, the strength of the entire Kunlun Realm would have grown to an unknown extent.”
……
…………
While travelling forward, Zhang Ruochen inculcated the Sacred Spring into the Mercury Gourd.
He didn’t know how long he had been walking, the passage was getting dimmer and dimmer, and the air currents were getting colder and colder, when all of a sudden, Zhang Ruochen stopped, sensing a powerful fluctuation of the Sacred Dao coming from in front of him.
Thus, he stopped collecting the Sacred Spring, hung the Mercury Gourd on his waist, took out the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, and cautiously dived forward.
About a quarter of an hour later, they entered a rather vast lowly cavern.
The stone walls around them were even harder than Xuan iron, and the gravity in the space far exceeded that of the outside world, as if the entire Ursus Sacred Mountain was pressing down on them.
Even with the four of them’s powerful cultivation, they all felt that it was difficult for their bodies to withstand that heavy pressure, and that once they fought violently, their bodies were going to burst apart.
“Wow.”
In the distance, strands of golden awns surged out, like golden rivers, travelling through the inside of the cave.
At the centre of the golden awnings, there was a lofty palace suspended, as if it was cast in gilt, standing with thirty-six pillars as huge as mountain peaks, with thirty-six giant bird silhouettes manifesting on top of the pillars, sinking and floating, as if there were thirty-six holy souls sealed inside the pillars.
The Sacred Spring was flowing out from inside that Sacred Palace.
The Sacred Springs that Zhang Ruochen had collected could already quench hundreds of thousands of drops of Condensed Truth Sacred Dew, and it was clear that it was still only a very small portion of the Sacred Springs. More sacred springs should be inside that kind of palace.
“It really is a holy palace, is it really the secret stash of a great saint?”Crazy Demon’s eyes widened, revealing a fiery look.
When faced with a Great Sage’s secret stash, it was impossible for any living being to remain calm.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was fixed on those golden ‘rivers’ flowing out from the Sacred Mansion as he reached out and grabbed them, and with that, he condensed a large handprint.
However, the large handprint just touched the golden rivers and immediately broke apart, transforming into strands of holy qi, which instead merged into the golden rivers.
Seeing this scene, Sealing Demon revealed a strange look.
The power of the golden ‘river’ was able to tear apart the great handprint that Zhang Ruochen had struck out, so I’m afraid that it wouldn’t be too difficult to tear apart their bodies as well.
“Indeed.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Those golden rivers are interwoven by the rules of the Sacred Dao. If, I’m not wrong, that Sacred Mansion should be Old Man Wu Jin’s Rule Saint Artifact.”
The few people present were no strangers to “Rule Sacred Artifacts”.
When a cultivator reached the Heavenly Realm, he would be able to use his own Saint Dao rules to condense a vessel.
This vessel was the prototype of a Rule Saint Artifact.
As a cultivator’s cultivation became more and more profound, and the rules of the Holy Dao became more and more condensed and thicker, the vessel prototype in the Holy Source would transform into a real “Rule Holy Weapon”.
Only a Saint King with attainments in the rules of the Holy Dao could condense a Rule Sacred Artifact.
In a sense, the Rule Sacred Vessel represented the best part of a Saint King’s inheritance.
However, the vast majority of Saint Kings, the moment they were killed, their Rule Saint Artifact would crumble, leaving behind only a Saint Source.
Refining a Saint King’s Saint Source was certainly considered to be obtaining the Saint King’s inheritance, but there was no comparison to a Rule Saint Artifact.
This was because, a cultivator who obtained a Saint King’s Rule Saint Artifact would be able to more easily comprehend the Saint Dao rules, and could even directly absorb the Saint Dao rules within the Rule Saint Artifact and transform them into their own Saint Dao rules.
In other words, for cultivators below the Tong Tian realm, a Saint King’s Saint Source was the most precious. However, to characters at the Supreme Saint level, a Saint King’s Rule Sacred Artifact was the most precious.
“A gilded Saint Mansion made entirely of Saint Dao rules, condensed out? How many Saint Dao Rules must this contain? How terrifyingly powerful must the cultivation of the owner of the Sacred Mansion be?”Han Chu was a little surprised.
Zhang Ruochen said, “That’s why Old Ancestor Wujin must have reached the Great Saint realm, and this Sacred Mansion in front of us is a Rule Emperor Artifact.”
A one-step Saint King’s Rule Holy Artifact was a “First Grade Rule Holy Artifact.”
The Rule Saint Artifact of a Second Step Saint King was a “Second Grade Rule Saint Artifact.”
……
The Rule Artifact of a Ninth Step Saint King was called a “Ninth Grade Rule Artifact”.
Only a Great Saint’s Rule Artifact could be called a “Rule Emperor Artifact”.
Unless a Saint King took the initiative to leave a legacy to his descendants, the Rule Sacred Artifact could only be preserved. When a Saint King was killed, the Rule Saint Artifact would definitely fall apart, and it would be impossible to leave it to the enemy.
Therefore, Rule Saint Artifacts were quite rare, and any Rule Saint Artifact that came out in the Heavenly Court Realm’s auction house would definitely be madly snatched up.
One must know that even a first-grade Rule Saint Artifact could allow Supreme Saints to swiftly break through to the Saint King realm, saving decades, or even hundreds of years of cultivation time.
High-grade Rule Sacred Artifacts were almost always priced out of the market, and no one would even put them up for auction.
As for Rule Emperor Artifacts, they were even more secret treasures amongst secret treasures, and as long as they were out in the world, it was enough to cause the two great worlds to fight, and characters of the Great Saint level might even intervene in it.
Zhang Ruochen said, ”Those Sacred Springs are transformed from the Sacred Mansion constantly absorbing the Sacred Qi of Heaven and Earth. As long as one obtains the Sacred Mansion, they will be able to obtain a constant supply of Sacred Springs, and they will be able to condense at least a thousand drops of Condensed Truth Sacred Dew every day.”
“This is a Rule Emperor Artifact, even if I have to fight for my life, I will take it down.”Crazy Demon kept licking his lips, itching to break through now.
However, below the Sacred Mansion, there was a large number of Saint realm powerhouses gathered.
A small half of the top experts from the Violet Mansion Realm and the Blade Prison Realm were gathered here.
There were thirty-four in total.
The weakest cultivations were all at the peak of Supreme Sainthood, and twelve of them had reached the half-step Saint King realm, as if they were twelve gods of war, guarding the four directions of the Sacred Mansion.
Such a powerful formation could already be used to surround a Saint King.
However, the periphery of the Sacred Mansion seemed to be set up with formations that made it difficult to approach. With the strength of the Dongliu Sword Venerable and Fang B, they could only move forward slowly, using a great deal of strength with each step.
“No wonder Dongliu Sword Venerable and Fang Yi haven’t been showing up for the last ten days or so, so it turns out that they’re hitting on this Sacred Mansion.”
“They are already very close to the Sacred Mansion and should be able to collect it soon.”
Zhang Ruochen stirred up the Hundred Sacred Blood Armour, covering his entire body, and said in a low voice, “Crazy Demon, wait until Fang Yi and Dongliu Sword Sovereign completely crack the Holy Mansion’s outer formations, then you and I will rush over together and attack from the front. Han Chu and Ah Le, you should know what to do, right?
