“Saint Monk Sumeru sealed this seat in the painting back then, telling this seat to sincerely repent and cut off the bad roots in my body, and when the day comes that I meet the next martial artist who possesses the mark of the Space-Time Divine Martial Arts, to tell this seat to make sure that I help him to cultivate the Space-Time Mysterious Canon, and to become a unparalleled powerhouse in the heavens and earth.”
That voice added, “You say, if you don’t let me out, how can I teach you to cultivate the Secret Code of Space-Time? If I don’t teach you to cultivate the Secret Code of Time and Space, how will you become a strong person unrivalled in the world?”
“You were sealed in the painting by the Sacred Monk of Sumeru?” Zhang Ruochen always felt that the cat’s words were somewhat unreliable.
There must have been a very significant reason for the Sacred Monk of Sumeru to seal it in the painting, and it definitely wasn’t as simple as just doing a little something wrong.
Saint Monk Sumeru, also opened the Time and Space Divine Martial Seal, and the Secret Code of Time and Space was written by him. In the Middle Ages, the Sumeru Saint Monk was a renowned Saint, and in history, there were also records about him.
That voice sighed, ”Other than the Sumeru Saint Monk, who else in the world is capable of exercising the power of spatial sealing? To open up a world in a scroll, only he can do that. Of course, when your cultivation is strong, you will also be able to open up a world space with your hands.”
“You said that you can teach me to cultivate the Secret Code of Space and Time? Doesn’t it mean that you are also able to use the power of space and time?” Zhang Ruochen said.
That voice said, “Although this seat’s cultivation is unrivalled in the world, going up to the heavens and down to the earth, being omnipotent, yet it has not opened the Space-Time Divine Martial Seal, so naturally, it cannot use the power of space and time. However, this seat had once been following the side of Saint Monk Sumeru, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he definitely has a deep knowledge of time and space, and teaching you will naturally be a mistake.”
“Finally, I can open the second page of the Secret Code of Time and Space!”
Zhang Ruochen picked up the Secret Canon of Space and Time and held it in his hands as he flipped the second page open, on which was written a single silver-coloured text.
“Spatial Inscription!”
Above the second page of the Space-Time Mysterious Canon, a total of eight spatial inscriptions were recorded, all of which were basic spatial inscriptions that represented the eight base complexes for constructing space.
The eight types of spatial inscriptions were: point-type inscriptions, line-type inscriptions, vertical-type inscriptions, horizontal-type inscriptions, tall-type inscriptions, flat-type inscriptions, tensor-type inscriptions, and shrinking-type inscriptions.
The abbreviations are: point, line, longitudinal, transverse, high, flat, tension, and contraction.
In the painting, a voice was heard, “What is recorded above the second page of the Space-Time Mysteries is merely the eight most basic spatial inscriptions, by successfully cultivating these eight basic spatial inscriptions, you will basically be able to independently open up a small space. Of course, even then, you can’t use spatial power to attack your enemies, you must also learn more advanced spatial inscriptions, such as, seal-type inscriptions, collapse-type inscriptions, crack-type inscriptions, teleportation inscriptions …… and so on.”
“For you, it’s better to carve out the eight basic inscriptions first.”
Zhang Ruochen asked, “On the second page of the Space-Time Mysteries, how come there are only eight types of spatial inscriptions recorded, and no time inscriptions recorded at all?”
“Haha! Time flows eternally, no one can create time, so naturally, there is no such thing as a ‘Time Inscription’. However, martial artists who possess the Temporal Divine Martial Seal can cultivate Time Inscriptions, mobilise the power of time, and execute Time Spiritual Arts.”
“If your spiritual power is strong enough, and the time imprint you have mastered is powerful enough, with a finger pointing out, you can chop off decades of your enemy’s lifespan, and even be able to stop time within a separate space, accelerate time, slow down time …… and so on, the power of time is unpredictable and unpredictable. ”
“Even if your cultivation is high, in front of the power of time, you simply cannot defend against it.”
“Of course, with your current spiritual power, you can’t meet the requirements to cultivate time seals, so you can only cultivate the eight most basic spatial inscriptions first.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Is the requirement for spiritual power to cultivate spatial inscriptions and time seals really that high?”
The voice in the painting laughed, “I’ll tell you if you release me from the painting first!”
Zhang Ruochen was slightly hesitant, not quite sure, would releasing it be a blessing or a curse?
“Don’t hesitate, although this seat’s cultivation is boundless powerful and unrivalled in the world, it has no interest in you, a young boy. Let this seat out! This seat will definitely tell you more secrets of time and space, so that you can make better use of the power of the Space-Time Divine Martial Seal.”
It was a blessing that could not be avoided.
If Saint Monk Sumeru really felt that it was a threat, he would have definitely gotten rid of it a long time ago, and definitely wouldn’t have just sealed it in the painting.
Zhang Ruochen pondered for a moment and said, “How do I have to release you from the painting?”
“You only need to place a drop of blood on the painting to become its owner. Then, if you inject your true qi into the scroll, you will naturally be able to open the seal of the scroll and release this seat.” That voice said with some excitement.
With a stroke of his fingernail, a blood scar cracked out from the tip of Zhang Ruochen’s right index finger.
A drop of scarlet blood dripped down from the fingertip and landed on the scroll with a “da” sound.
The blood, was absorbed by the scroll.
“Wow!”
A faint layer of blood light wrapped the scroll and flew up from the ground, landing in Zhang Ruochen’s hands.
Knowing that the painting weighed 800kg, Zhang Ruochen merely moved it with a thought, and it flew up and into his hands.
It was simply too incredible!
“This painting is definitely a very remarkable treasure, not comparable to a True Martial Treasure.”
After becoming the owner of the painting, Zhang Ruochen was able to clearly feel that every line in the painting was an inscription, not only were there spatial inscriptions, but there were also ice inscriptions, force inscriptions, earth inscriptions, and fire inscriptions……. It encompassed thousands of densely packed inscriptions that were simply hard to count.
Saint Monk Sumeru was worthy of being one of the greatest saints of the Medieval Era, and just this one painting that he had drawn already surpassed the perceptions of ordinary people.
With a movement of Zhang Ruochen’s mind, the painting immediately transformed into a white light and flew into the Divine Martial Seal in his brow, entering the Qi Pool.
The scroll hovered in the centre of the Qi Pool, gently rotating and emitting a faint white light.
“Wow!”
With another movement of Zhang Ruochen’s mind, the scroll flew out of the pool of qi and returned to his hands.
A voice from the painting resounded, saying, “The name of this painting is ‘Qiankun Divine Wood Picture’, and the paper of the scroll was refined from a leaf of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood, and it took Saint Monk Sumeru ten years and countless amounts of mental energy to finish this painting.”
“Young boy, can you release this seat now?”
“Of course!”
Although, Zhang Ruochen said this with his mouth, he was still wary of that one cat in his heart and didn’t fully trust the other party.
Zhang Ruochen injected his True Qi into the scroll.
The scroll emitted a white glow and trembled slightly.
“Wow…”
A black glow, flew out from the painting and landed on the ground, forming a one-metre tall black giant cat.
That one cat, as big as a meat pig, was very bloated and fat, with soft black fur all over its body, and a pair of golden eyes even bigger than Zhang Ruochen’s fist.
Zhang Ruochen had seen cats before, but he had never seen one that was so fat and so big.
“Haha! This seat has finally come out! One hundred thousand years, one hundred thousand years!” The mouth of that one fat black cat emitted a human voice that looked very strange.
Suddenly, the black fat cat revealed its sharp teeth, and a fierce light appeared inside its round eyes as it surged up towards Zhang Ruochen, roaring, “Gryphon, this seat is the Emperor of Slaughtering Heaven and Slaying Earth, and it only needs one claw to press you to death! Haha!”
It rushed up to Zhang Ruochen and extended a sharp claw, swinging it towards Zhang Ruochen’s neck.
The seemingly fat and bloated body was so fast that it was almost like a black shadow.
Zhang Ruochen had long been on guard against it when it swung a claw over.
Zhang Ruochen struck out with a palm, striking the black giant cat’s face, causing the black giant cat to wail, its tongue flinging out from inside its mouth.
The black giant cat was thrown backward and flew out with a bang, hitting the top of the inner space wall of the Space-Time Crystal Stone and crashing to the ground like a dead pig.
Zhang Ruochen looked at his palm and then at the giant cat that crashed to the ground, frowning gently as he said, “Is your title really Emperor of Slaughtering Heaven and Killing Earth?”
The black giant cat used its claws to pound the ground vigorously, gritting its teeth and saying, “Junior Lang, you actually dare to doubt this seat’s strength, if not for the fact that this seat’s cultivation is sealed inside the scroll, to take your life, it’s simply as easy as a …… what are you doing… …Help …… This seat was just joking just now …… This seat is so pure and innocent, how could it be possible to kill someone? What do you want …… Don’t mess around ah ……”
Zhang Ruochen lifted the black giant cat by its tail and dragged it to the centre, stepping on its rounded stomach with his foot as he lifted the Flash Soul Sword.
Injecting true qi into the Flash Soul Sword, three force system inscriptions were activated in the sword’s body. The weight of the Flash Soul Sword immediately reached three hundred and fifty-three jin.
“Fat cat, do you think I’ll still believe your words?”
Zhang Ruochen gripped the sword with both hands and violently stabbed downwards.
A terrifying force erupted from the body of that one giant black cat, and with a flip of its body, it actually escaped from Zhang Ruochen’s feet and hid in a corner position.
Its tail was tilted upwards, and a faint black light emanated from its entire body as it said, ”Junior Lang, you must be calm and not act impulsively. This seat was just testing your cultivation just now, how could it really make a move to kill you? Besides, with this seat’s world-unrivalled cultivation, if it really wants to kill you, can you have a chance to fight back?”
“Is that so?”
Zhang Ruochen carried the Flashing Soul Sword and took a step towards the giant black cat as he swung his sword out.
“Damn it, do you really think that this seat is afraid of you? If we really want to fight, this seat may not be weaker than you.”
The black giant cat stretched out a sharp claw, surprisingly grabbing the Soul Flash Sword, and a deafening loud whistle came out of its mouth, “Meow!”
