Princess Rakshasa’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the Supreme Saint and was impacting the realm of a half-step Saint King.
Between her ten fingers, a small purplish-red cauldron was suspended, and a Saint Dao rule scattered out from the cauldron, rushing into the palms of her hands.
Obviously, that small tripod was a Rule Saint Artifact.
When a cultivator’s cultivation reached the peak of the Supreme Sage, the Holy Dao rules in his body were condensed to the extreme state. If one wanted to go further and reach the realm of a half-step Saint King, or even a step Saint King, one had to comprehend a deeper level of Saint Dao rules.
For example, the Rakshasa Princess cultivated spatial rules, and right now, in her sea of qi, there was only one spatial rule in its extreme state.
This spatial rule is a “rule seed”, only by continuing to understand the spatial way, the “rule seed” can take root and grow, and in the end, the cultivator’s qi sea and physical body are integrated with the spatial rule, and completely merge with the heaven and earth, and that realm will be the deepest under the gods.That realm was the pinnacle of the realm under God.
If the rules of the Holy Way in the body of Princess Rakshasa are only “one”, then the peak realm under God is “infinity”.
Only the infinite regeneration metamorphosis would be the realm of a god.
Comprehending and absorbing the holy dao rules within the Rule Saint Artifact was a shortcut that would allow the cultivator to reach the half-step Saint King, or even the one-step Saint King realm with greater ease.
Princess Rakshasa sensed that Zhang Ruochen had come behind her, so she stopped her enlightenment and put away the small purplish-red cauldron, her pair of soulful eyes slowly opening.
Zhang Ruochen sat down on his knees beside Princess Rakshasa and said, “Looking at your state, you’re on the verge of reaching the half-step Saint King realm.”?”The Rule Seed has only just awakened, only after the Rule Seed has taken root will it be considered to be at the half-step Saint King realm.”Princess Rakshasa gave a slight sideways glance and added, “Isn’t your realm, too, on the verge of reaching the Supreme Saint realm?”
Both of their eyesight was quite impressive, and just by seeing each other’s state, they were able to judge the depth of each other’s cultivation.
Zhang Ruochen said, “One step short.”
“The Space Rule and Time Rule haven’t reached the level of the Most True and Most Extreme?”Princess Rakshasa asked.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Are you testing me?”
Previously, Zhang Ruochen had only revealed that he was a Space Controller and possessed the Space Rule within his body, but had not revealed that he was a Time Controller.
Princess Rakshasa seemed to be asking so casually, but in fact, she was testing Zhang Ruochen to see if he was a Time Controller.
The biggest difference between a Time Cultivator and a Time Controller was whether or not there were Time Rules in their bodies.
“If you don’t want to say, just pretend I didn’t ask.”Princess Rakshasa said.
Zhang Ruochen realised that Princess Rakshasa was really calm and somewhat abnormal today, completely different from before.
In this instant, Zhang Ruochen suddenly understood.
What a smart character Princess Rakshasa was, his series of actions had definitely made her realise that her identity had been exposed.
Zhang Ruochen had stayed on the shores of the Underworld Ice Cold Sea, but had chosen not to seize the Phoenix Nest, so it was obvious that he was deliberately holding her back.
The person Zhang Ruochen was targeting by leaving Chu Siyuan behind was also her.
In recent times, Zhang Ruochen had used the Spatial Domain to isolate himself from the outside world every time he came into contact with an important person, and he was definitely guarding against her.
Although, Princess Rakshasa had realised that her identity had been revealed, she did not dare to leave because she knew that Zhang Ruochen would definitely not let her go.
With the strength of Zhang Ruochen, Chu Siyuan, Ah Le and the others, it wouldn’t be easy for her to leave on her own.
This was her concern.
Zhang Ruochen also had his concerns, so for the time being, he did not dare to take down the Rakshasa Princess.
One of the reasons was because, with her honourable status, the Rakshasa Princess must have offensive treasures on her body that were similar to Divine Spirit Battle Weapons, and once they were used, both sides would definitely lose.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to do that before his ranking in the Guanghan Realm reached number one.
The second reason was because even if Zhang Ruochen succeeded in subduing the Rakshasa Princess, he would definitely usher in a siege from the Rakshasa Clan. It was likely that the Spirit Flame Demon Princess’s side hadn’t prepared enough, and it would be quite unfavourable to the Shasta Seven Realms for a great battle to break out now.
Since everyone already knew it by heart, there was no need to continue with the false accusations.
Zhang Ruochen pondered for a moment and said, “That’s right, I do cultivate time and space at the same time.”
In Princess Rakshasa’s pupil, a bright light flashed, and finally, another smile appeared, “Impressive. Throughout the ages, amongst all the records of the canonical books, you are the third living being to control both time and space at the same time. Here, I congratulate you in advance, after the Saint Merit Battle, you will surely become the hottest son of heaven in the entire Heavenly Court Realm. However, I must also remind you that when a wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it. There are times when you should hide your clumsiness, you should retreat in a hurry, and never stand on the tip of the wind and waves, so beware of how easy it is to fall when the waves are high.”
Zhang Ruochen knew that Princess Rakshasa must have a deep-seated reason for saying so and said, “Thanks for the reminder.”
Princess Rakshasa added, “Refining the Condensed Truth Sacred Dew is only a means to aid in cultivation, it is not a great Dao to cultivate. The Way of Time and the Way of Space are both Constant Ancient Ways, refining the Condensed Truth Sacred Dew is not able to cultivate them to the level of the Most True to the Most Extreme, and in the end, it is still necessary to rely on one’s own enlightenment. This is the Constant Ancient Way, a test for cultivators.”
Zhang Ruochen carefully understood Princess Rakshasa’s words, and then, a smile surfaced on his face, “I see, thank you for your enlightenment.”
The fact that two people were hostile to each other and both understood this, yet they were still able to sit by the water’s edge and talk calmly was a rare thing in itself.
It had to be said that this Rakshasa Princess was able to lead a large army at such a young age and had broken through a vast great world, she was indeed a person of great vigour and charm.
“There’s no need to thank me, for these things, if you go and consult those great saints in the Guanghan Realm, they will be able to tell you as well.”
The Rakshasa Princess stood up, carrying her hands behind her back, her puffy peaks towering, her brute waist tight, and her slender and delicate figure, reflecting a beautiful reflection on the water surface, just like a Lingbo Fairy.
Her eyes, looking out at the Phoenix Nest in the distance, asked, “Your aim, should be to make the Guanghan Realm the number one in the Saints’ Merit Battle, right?”
Zhang Ruochen also stood up and said, “That’s right.”
Princess Rakshasa took out a delicate little box, held it in the palm of her hand, and handed it to Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen took the small box, and only just as he entered his hand, he sensed a spatial fluctuation within the box.
A spatial treasure.
“Wow…”
Opening the box, a brilliant white light surged out.
Zhang Ruochen’s finger guided it, and then, from the box, one by one, treasure bottles containing Rakshasa blood and remnants of souls flew out in great numbers, a rough estimation would have to be more than 10,000 of them.
The number of Saints who had died at the hands of the Rakshasa Clan must have been innumerable. The treasure bottles on those saints were naturally taken by the Rakshasa clan.
Thus, Zhang Ruochen was not surprised at all when the Rakshasa Princess took out so many treasure bottles.
The Rakshasa Princess said, “With these Rakshasa blood and remnants of souls, it should be possible for the Guanghan Realm to rush to number one, right?”
“Why give it to me?”Zhang Ruochen asked.
“There’s no why, these things are of no use at all when they’re placed here with me anyway.”Princess Rakshasa said.
Zhang Ruochen thought carefully, if he really exchanged all of this Rakshasa blood and remnant souls for merit value, it would indeed be possible for the Guanghan Realm to impact the first place in the Sage Merit Battle ahead of schedule.
Then, by destroying the Merit Book Wall, Zhang Ruochen would have completed the Moon God’s mission.
However, ……
Zhang Ruochen, however, always felt that something was wrong.
He and Princess Rakshasa were, after all, hostile to each other, so how could Princess Rakshasa be helping him in every way?
It was too out of the ordinary.
In the distance, Han Chu had been staring at Zhang Ruochen and Princess Rakshasa’s every move, and when he saw this scene, he walked over and laughed coldly, “How can you not accept a merit value that’s given to you for nothing?”
With that, Han Qiu’s sleeve waved, striking out a piece of holy qi, rolling up more than 10,000 precious bottles and walking towards the wall of merit books.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t think out the result, and in the end, gently shook his head and immediately followed.
Chu Siyuan had set up a Painting Dao Formation around the Book of Merits Wall, painting a picture of the Golden Golem, while Ah Le and Princess Baili were guarding the left and right sides of the Book of Merits Wall.
Seeing Han Chu walking over with more than 10,000 treasure bottles, Chu Siyuan, Ah Le, and Princess Bai Li were all slightly moved, the Rakshasa blood and residual souls contained in the treasure bottles were just too much, and exchanging them for the merit value was sure to be more than 100 million.
Chu Siyuan pursed his lips and said, “Zhang Ruochen, the Guanghan Realm is still short of 10 million merit value to pass the Great Demon Ten Directions Realm, so it doesn’t need so much Rakshasa blood and remnant souls at all, how about dividing some of it amongst our Kunlun Realm Realm?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Even if we were to share it, it wouldn’t be given to you.”
Ah Le, Han Qiu, and Princess Bai Li had always followed Zhang Ruochen’s side and had been born and died, yet they had never received any merit value.
Since, now that there was extra merit value, Zhang Ruochen naturally would not be stingy and was prepared to give them all the extra portion so that they could all enter the Heavenly Court Realm’s Saints’ Merit List together as well.
A single person who accumulated ten million merit values would be able to enter the Heavenly Court Realm’s Sage Merit List.
Characters who entered the Heavenly Court Realm’s “Saint Merit List” were able to obtain many benefits in the Heavenly Court Realm that ordinary cultivators could not obtain, and that was a kind of reward from the Heavenly Court Realm to the top heavenly prides.
Chu Siyuan didn’t care at all, after all, he had already reached the Saint King realm, there was no need for him to impact the Heavenly Court Realm’s 《Saint Merit List》.
As long as Ah Le, Han Chu, and Princess Bai Li received merit value, it would naturally be counted on top of the total merit value of the Kunlun Realm, which was naturally a good thing for the Kunlun Realm.
Chu Siyuan released his spiritual power and went forward to probe the total number of Rakshasa blood and residual souls inside those treasure bottles, and had only just probed half of them, when suddenly, his face changed violently, saying, “Not good, inside one of those treasure bottles, there is a Locust Python King Talisman hidden.”
The Rakshasa Princess had hidden the Locust Python King Talisman quite stealthily, and only a character whose spiritual power was comparable to hers would be able to detect its existence.
Not far away, in the eyes of the Rakshasa Princess, a cunning light appeared, and her mouth spat out a single word: “Break!”
“Boom.”
The Locust Python King Talisman was triggered, and then a crack appeared on the surface of one of the precious bottles on the ground, bursting apart, and a vast holy power was vented from its interior, transforming into thousands of Locust Python’s shadows that impacted towards Zhang Ruochen, Chu Siyuan, Princess Baili, and Ah Le.
Zhang Ruochen had always maintained a state of high alertness, thus, at the first moment, he pressed one hand towards the ground and poured all the spiritual energy and holy qi within his body into the Golden Golem Picture.
“Wow.”
The scroll formation was activated, and on the ground, a human and beast-shaped silhouette emerged, much like a murderous knight, charging against thousands of Locust Python silhouettes.
