“With the Withered Wood Pill given by Master Ancestor, my injuries, have already healed. I don’t know what to call this senior, how should I address him?”
Zhang Ruochen stepped forward, trying his best to act as modest as possible.
The man in black said, “There is no need to call me senior, I am not much older than you. However, I am ultimately a senior brother to your father, so you can call me Uncle Blue.”
“So it’s Master Uncle Lan, I’ve often heard my father mention your great name. Father said that you are the one with the highest natural talent amongst all the senior brothers, and that the Ice Spirit Divine Canon you cultivate, which is even a King Grade Lower Grade technique, is unrivalled.”Zhang Ruochen said respectfully.
The information on the record of the Blood Dragon Duke also had a detailed record of the disciples of the Sea Underworld Dharma King. This person in front of him, since his surname was Blue, must be the thirteenth disciple of the Sea Underworld Dharma King, Blue Night.
Sure enough, he was a dangerous person.
In Blue Night’s heart, he just smiled coldly and did not take Zhang Ruochen’s words to heart as he said, “Master wants to see you, follow me.”?Led by Lan Night, Zhang Ruochen once again arrived at Kongcheng Island, and in a plum garden over a thousand acres in size, he met the Sea Meditation Venerable Lord who was drinking tea.
In the sky, flakes of goose feather sized snowflakes were floating and falling.
Dharma King Hai Moi laughed, “Lin Feng, how many layers of the Blood Dragon Sutra have you cultivated to?”
“Reporting back to Master Ancestor, it has been cultivated to the seventh layer.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Venerable Lord Hai Mei nodded and added, “If I remember correctly, your main cultivation should be palm techniques?”
“That’s right, my disciple grandson is still very knowledgeable about palm techniques. Of course, in front of Master Ancestor, it is certainly not worth mentioning.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Venerable Lord Hai Mei said, “How can you be so presumptuous? At your age, you’ve managed to cultivate to a Second Stage Half-Saint, and you’ve already left your peers far behind. Blue Night, go and exchange a few moves with Lin Feng and try to see how far his palm technique has been cultivated?”
Zhang Ruochen hurriedly said, “Uncle Lan’s cultivation is unfathomable, my disciple grandson is in no way a match for him ……?”Dharma King Hai Mei ignored Zhang Ruochen as if he couldn’t hear him, and only focused on drinking his tea, appearing to be quite comfortable with his appearance.
“Swish!”
Blue Night’s figure flickered, moving horizontally across to Zhang Ruochen, saying, “Don’t worry, nephew Lin Feng, senior uncle will suppress his cultivation to the realm of a Second Order Half-Saint, and will definitely not bully the small with the big.”
Two clusters of ghostly blue cold light emerged from Blue Night’s hands, out of nowhere. In the next moment, the temperature of the entire Plum Garden, dropped tenfold, and more than a dozen chaotic cold streams appeared.
A clattering sound rang out, and behind Blue Night, five sharp icicles coalesced, as if they were a huge cold palm seal, printing down towards Zhang Ruochen from above.
“They are testing my strength, and if I am too strong, I will definitely arouse their suspicion. However, if I’m too weak, I probably won’t get reused.”
In a flash of lightning, dozens of thoughts flashed through Zhang Ruochen’s mind.
“Ow!”
A blood-red dragon soul, which flew out from Zhang Ruochen’s body and was tens of feet long, wrapped around his body, causing the aura of power to become increasingly powerful.
Zhang Ruochen’s arm, slapping upwards, clashed with that huge blue ice palm.
“Rumble!”
The snowflakes under his feet were like white flying daggers that flew out in a hurry.
“Surprisingly, I caught it!”
Dharma King Hai Mei raised his head slightly and stared deeply at Zhang Ruochen, feeling quite surprised.
A blood-red meridian emerged from Zhang Ruochen’s body as he shouted, “Break for me.”
“Boom!”
The huge cold ice handprint, split into pieces, and the powerful shockwave that erupted from it shook even Blue Night back a step.
“Senior nephew Lin Feng is worthy of being a human master taught by ninth senior brother, the palm force is really strong.”
Lan Ye’s eyes sank as he clenched his five fingers and rushed towards Zhang Ruochen, striking again.
Zhang Ruochen also had a defiant look as he charged towards Blue Night.
“Boom boom.”
The two silhouettes staggered together, continuously striking out palm seals, sending out a powerful ripple of energy.
Fortunately, on Kong Cheng Island, there were many defensive formations arranged, otherwise, I’m afraid that the entire island would have sunk.
Only after dueling more than three hundred palms in a row did the two separate again.
Both of Zhang Ruochen’s hands were sealed by cold ice, and his body kept trembling, then, he operated his Saint Qi and shattered the cold ice.
Zhang Ruochen did not strike again and said with an arch of his hand, “Thank you for being merciful, Senior Uncle.”
Lan Night’s hands were behind his back, appearing to be in a breezy manner, only that the eyes staring at Zhang Ruochen had a few more points of gravity in them.
“Snap!”
Dharma King Hai Moi stood up, clapped his hands, walked into the snow, sized up Zhang Ruochen, and laughed, “Not bad, really not bad, at the same realm, actually being able to block more than three hundred slaps from your Uncle Lan, is already quite remarkable.”
Venerable Lord Hai Mei’s words, again, took a turn and said, “However, the palm technique that you cultivate is not very brilliant, it should only be a Ghost Grade Lower Grade Jiao Long Palm, right?”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and sighed, saying, “The Jiao Dragon Palm is already the highest grade palm of the Blood Dragon Hall.”
Dharma King Hai Meditation revealed a huffy look and said, “Your father is also really …… hehe! If he were still alive, I would definitely scold him. Not having a high grade palm technique, yet he didn’t know to come and ask old me for one, how outrageous, wasting a diamond in the rough for nothing.”
Dharma King Sea Underworld took out a finger-sized piece of jade book and handed it to Zhang Ruochen, saying, “This is one of the Blood God Sect’s mastery techniques, called the Seven Orifices Blood Underworld Palm. You take it and study and comprehend it carefully, strive to cultivate some achievements, and after ten days, Master Ancestor will check your cultivation progress again.”
Zhang Ruochen naturally made an ecstatic appearance, respectfully holding the jade book inscribed with the Seven Orifices Blood Underworld Palm, and eagerly retreated.
After Zhang Ruochen left, Venerable Lord Sea Underworld asked Blue Night, saying, “What do you think?”
“This son has a strong desire to perform and is eager to prove himself. However, his strength, too, is a bit frighteningly strong, and even though he’s only at the Second Order Half-Saint realm, he possesses the strength to defeat a Third Order Half-Saint. At the same realm, I’m afraid that he is able to compete with an average Saint Body.”Blue Night said.
Dharma King Haixian smiled and nodded, saying, “Indeed a very good little fellow, rather a wonderful gift from the heavens to old me. Ten days from now, the Spectral Character Heavenly Palace will start recruiting new Flag Masters, moreover, three of them will be recruited at once. Do you think that he will be able to pass the test?”
“I’m afraid it’s difficult.”
Blue Night added, “The flag lords are chosen from amongst the lower ranked half saints, Gu Linfeng’s strength is indeed very strong, however, it’s only a second ranked half saint, and there’s still a certain gap between him and the several other third ranked half saints in the sect who are quite strong.
Dharma King Hai Mei smiled and said, “Then, there’s only way to force him to fight for his life, and only by fighting for his life will he have a chance.”
“How to force him?”Blue Night asked.
Dharma King Sea Meditation smiled mysteriously, but didn’t say much, only that pair of pale eyes were filled with a venomous look.
Zhang Ruochen returned to Forgotten Primordial Island and walked straight into into the Practice Tower.
In his heart, he was secretly a little anxious, ”Actually giving me a stance for me to cultivate, what kind of medicine is in the gourd of the Sea Underworld Venerable King? Ten days, no, I’ve waited not so long, I must rush to the Endless Abyss immediately.”
Zhang Ruochen released his spiritual power and probed outwards, only to find that Ru Yue and Ru Xin had been guarding the outside of the tower door.
“No, I’ve only just arrived at the Blood God Sect, and Venerable Lord Hai Mei doesn’t fully trust me, so it’s not certain that he’s secretly spying on me with his Sacred Thoughts. Once I leave the Forgotten Primordial Island and let him notice, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath to calm himself down.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Ruochen took out the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, released Little Black, and instructed, “I can’t get away for the time being, so Little Black, you have to make a trip to the Endless Abyss for me.”
“No go, that place is a Jedi where there is no return, this Emperor will not go. Besides, that Sacred Book Talented Lady doesn’t treat this Emperor well at all, so why would this Emperor want to take the risk of going to the Endless Abyss?”
Little Black added, “Zhang Ruochen, this Emperor still advises you to leave the Blood God Cult as soon as possible, that Sea Underworld Dharma King is definitely not a kind-hearted person. Based on this Emperor’s understanding of humans, that old fellow, presumably, wants you to do something dangerous, that’s why he’s using all sorts of cages to enlist you, first arranging for beauties to wait on him, and then gifting palm techniques. Are you the Master Ancestor or is he the Master Ancestor?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head, his will was firm as he said, “Before I came to the Blood God Sect, I was already prepared to die nine deaths, whether I could leave alive or not all depends on luck.”
“Is it worth it to take your own life for a talented girl of the Holy Book who doesn’t know how to die?”Little Black felt a bit perplexed.
How could Zhang Ruochen, this fellow, not look like a person without reason?
Zhang Ruochen said, “If one day, you also fall into danger, even if it is dangerous, I will definitely go and save you.”
Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei had experienced many things, from the very beginning of using each other, gradually evolving into the best side-by-side friends.
When Little Black heard this, he was stunned for a moment, tossed his mouth, and said resentfully, “Luckily, it’s you who is a man, if you were a female cat …… lol lol lol, just! This Emperor can go to the Endless Abyss, however, just go to the periphery to explore, don’t think that this Emperor will jump off the abyss to help you find the body of the Sacred Book Talented Girl.”
After saying this, Xiao Hei’s body quickly became smaller, transforming into the size of a mosquito as he flew out of the practice tower and left the Immortal Underworld Sea.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head with a smile, then took out the jade book inscribed with the Seven Orifices Blood Underworld Palm, resting it in the palm of his hand as he carefully perused it.
Being able to be called a masterstroke, the Seven Orifices Blood Underworld Palm was naturally quite subtle, containing many truths of the palm technique.
Comprehending it should be of considerable help to Zhang Ruochen’s Palm Technique path.
“There are seven orifices in a human being, and there are also seven orifices in a palm; when all the seven orifices are opened, the palm technique comes to fruition.”
The general outline of the Seven Orifices Blood Underworld Palm began with such a metaphysical phrase.
As Zhang Ruochen continued to read on, he realised that the “Seven Orifices Blood Underworld Palm” was actually a holy technique, only that in the history of the Blood God Sect, no one had ever achieved the “full opening of all seven orifices”, and thus, it could only bring out the power of a stance.
A palm at the level of a holy art was all the more worth cultivating.
