Returning to the foot of Mount Prana, Zhang Ruochen walked over to Blue Night and Ji Shui, slightly arching his hand and smiling, “Two senior uncles, I have already captured one of the flag master’s slots, so next, can’t we go back to report the results, to the master ancestor? With such a difficult figure, being able to complete it, one should be able to receive quite a reward.”
On Blue Night’s face, there was no joy revealed, instead, he was very serious and coldly said, “Getting carried away. Gu Lin Feng, shouldn’t you temper your beauty-craving character? Do you think that any woman is something you can covet?”
Zhang Ruochen tilted his chin and said, “Uncle Lan, how come I can’t understand some of your words?”?”In the future, you’d better stay away from Her Highness the Holy Maiden, don’t always think of a lazy toad eating swan meat, lest you get yourself into trouble of killing yourself.”Blue Night said bluntly.
A cold and sullen look immediately appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s face, clearly somewhat unimpressed by Blue Night’s words.
Gu Linfeng must have felt such an emotion when he heard Blue Night’s words.
Since, Zhang Ruochen was now disguised as Gu Linfeng, he naturally couldn’t reveal a break in his character above. When he should be angry, he should be angry; when he should be ruthless, he should be ruthless; and when he should be lustful, he should intentionally make a show of it.
Blue Night glared at Zhang Ruochen, his hands gently trembling, if it wasn’t for the fact that, he knew that this person was very useful to his master, he wouldn’t even bother to remind him.
Ji Shui was wearing a blood red robe, standing in a cloud of blood mist, emitting a vast voice: “Your Senior Uncle Lan’s words are indeed all for your own good, Her Highness the Holy Maiden is bound to marry the Divine Son in the future, if you get too close to Her Highness the Holy Maiden, will the Divine Son spare you?”
“Many thanks to Senior Uncle Ji for reminding me.”?Zhang Ruochen immediately changed his attitude and took off the Sacred Crow Fist Gloves and returned them to Ji Shui, adding, “Lin Feng was able to successfully take over the position of Flag Master without the help of the Sacred Crow Fist Gloves, thank you again, Uncle Ji.”
Ji Shui didn’t say much, just nodded gently and put the Holy Crow Fist Gloves back.
A group of three people returned to the Immortal Underworld Sea.
Once again, in the Dharma King Hall, Zhang Ruochen met the Holy Soul Bilocation of the Sea Underworld Dharma King.
Learning that Zhang Ruochen had defeated Bai Yu, Ning Guihai, and Yan Kongming with his own strength, and had become the Flag Lord of the Immortal Word Heavenly Palace, Dharma King Sea Underworld was naturally in a good mood.
“Lin Feng, this time, you have truly surprised Master Ancestor quite a bit. Under the situation where the Divine Son and Holy Maiden joined the competition, you were still able to sweep away the other Half-Saints and take the last spot, you can simply be called the third young king of the Blood God Sect, giving the Master Ancestor quite a lot of face.”Dharma King Hai Mei laughed.
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards Ji Shui and smiled, “This time, I still have to thank Senior Uncle Ji for his help, otherwise, I’m afraid that my disciple’s grandson wouldn’t have been able to go so smoothly.”?Dharma King Hai Mei nodded and took out a blood-red crystal ball and a small bronze box, and with a wave of his sleeve, the crystal ball and the small box, simultaneously flew towards Zhang Ruochen.
“This is a drop of the Blood God’s divine blood and a Third Grade Sacred Elemental Pill, a reward for you. In the future, there will be more and better rewards if you do what the Master Ancestor has explained.”Dharma King Hai Moi stared at Zhang Ruochen with an encouraging look.
Zhang Ruochen caught the crystal ball and the small box, looking very excited, and immediately bowed, “Many thanks to the Master Ancestor for the rewards.”
Whether it was the divine blood of the Blood God or the Third Grade Sacred Elemental Pill, both were things that Zhang Ruochen desperately wished to obtain.
Especially the Third Grade Sacred Elemental Pill, as long as he had it, Zhang Ruochen had full confidence that he would break through to the Third Order Half-Saint.
Dharma King Hai Moi nodded with satisfaction, then, his expression gradually became serious, his voice low, he said, “The purpose of the Master Ancestor sending you to the Spectral Character Heavenly Palace, your two senior uncles, they should have both told you about it, right?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “I do know some of it, however, I don’t know much about the specific mission.”?From his seat at the very top, Venerable Lord Hai Mei stepped down, and the Saint Qi on his body rolled violently like waves of water.
His gaze, staring in a certain direction outside the great hall, his eyes were quite deep as he said, “All along, the cultivators in the outside world have thought that the Endless Abyss is an unapproachable Jedi of death, and they are unwilling to even talk about it much.”
“However, very few people know that the Endless Abyss actually hides many secrets. Moreover, those secrets are most likely related to the Undying Blood Clan.”
As he spoke, Dharma King Sea Underworld had already walked across to Zhang Ruochen. The aura emanating from his body was like a lofty holy mountain, causing a huge oppressive force to Zhang Ruochen, Blue Night, and Ji Shui, and no one dared to raise their heads to look directly at him.
Zhang Ruochen lowered his head, his body trembling slightly as he asked, “How …… how could …… it be related to the Immortal Blood Race?”
Seeing Zhang Ruochen’s very fearful appearance, Dharma King of the Sea Underworld was naturally quite satisfied in his heart as he said, “Previously, old me wasn’t quite sure, however, not too long ago, the Saint level battle that took place in the Endless Abyss made old me certain of this.”
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen immediately thought of the incident where the Sacred Book Talented Lady died in the Endless Abyss. This matter was a sensation in half of the Kunlun Realm.
It was said that because of this matter, the Confucian Way had dispatched a large number of elite trainees to the Northern Domain to start a full-scale war with the Immortal Blood Clan.
There were also some other great figures from the imperial court and the Confucian Way who wanted to travel to the Endless Abyss to investigate the life and death of the Sacred Book Talented Girl. However, all of them were intercepted by the Blood God Sect, and no one was able to approach the Endless Abyss.
Without waiting for Zhang Ruochen to ask, Dharma King Sea Underworld added, “About a month ago, the Sacred Book Talented Maiden, one of the Nine Heavens under the Empress’ seat, made a trip to the Shangguan Family for the sake of the Blood Clan Secret Scrolls to seek an audience with the Shangguan Family’s Old Ancestor, Shangguan Que.”
“No one knows if she has obtained the Secret Scroll of the Blood Clan. Shortly after she left the Shangguan Family, for some unknown reason, she even leaked the news and encountered several saints from the Undying Blood Clan who intercepted her.”
“In that battle, all of the major forces in the Tiantai Prefecture were involved, and among them, the vast majority of them went to rescue the Sacred Script Talented Maiden. However, the Undying Blood Clan was very well prepared, setting up a number of formations and assassination methods, causing the imperial court and the Confucian Way to suffer heavy losses.”?”As far as I know, the place where the Sacred Book Talented Maiden left the Shangguan Family and went to was none other than the Endless Abyss. Why did she go to the Endless Abyss? Could it be because, she really obtained the Secret Scroll of the Blood Clan and knew some secret that she wanted to go to the Endless Abyss to investigate?”
Zhang Ruochen similarly revealed a look of deep thought as he said, “What does Master Ancestor mean, the reason why the Sacred Book Talented Maiden was intercepted and killed has something to do with the secret hidden in the Endless Profound Abyss?”
Dharma King Hai Mei nodded and said, “Old me suspects that the secret of the Endless Profound Abyss is most likely related to the Blood Queen who fell into the Endless Profound Abyss back then.”
“Master Ancestor suspects that the Blood Queen is not dead?”Zhang Ruochen’s heart was secretly shocked.
Dharma King Hai Mei shook his head and said, “If the Blood Empress had not died, with her cultivation, I’m afraid that she would have already turned the Kunlun Realm upside down, so how could she have let the Kunlun Realm be calm for five hundred years?”
“Old me suspects that the Blood Empress should have left something behind in the Endless Abyss, which is why the Sacred Book Talented Lady rushed over to investigate. It’s even possible that the Immortal Blood Clan knows about that one thing that’s in the Endless Abyss. Otherwise, why would they go to intercept the Sacred Book Talented Lady?”
In fact, there was another sentence that Dharma King Haixian didn’t say, and that was, he rather suspected that the Blood God Sect Master probably had some connection with the Undying Blood Clan as well.
“An item? Something left behind by the Blood Queen?”
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen’s pupils shrank, recalling a legendary supreme holy weapon – the Blood Sea Demon Mirror.
Legend had it that the Blood Sea Demon Mirror was controlled by the Blood Queen and had unparalleled and powerful magical power. Even if a Saint was irradiated by the mirror of the Blood Sea Demon Mirror, he would, in an instant, lose blood from his entire body and turn into a dry corpse. A Saint’s blood, on the other hand, would automatically fly into the interior of the Magic Mirror and be stored.
The Blood Sea Magic Mirror already had a very long history, and over the long course of time, it had absorbed the blood of billions of living beings, and the world in the mirror had long since been transformed into a vast sea of blood.
Any one of the Immortal Blood Clan also dreamed of obtaining the Blood Sea Demon Mirror. As long as one obtains it, it also means that one can obtain endless blood, and their cultivation can advance by leaps and bounds.
It was said that the Blood Sea Demon Mirror also had a very important special power, that is, it could recognise the disguises of the Immortal Blood Clan and shine them back into their original form.
This was a holy artefact that could be used both to help the Immortal Blood Clan and to deal with the Immortal Blood Clan. The key depended on, into whose hands would it fall?
Only, as the Blood Queen fell into the Endless Abyss, the Blood Sea Demon Mirror also disappeared into the Kunlun Realm, never to be seen again.
Zhang Ruochen said, ”Master Ancestor is asking me to go to the Endless Profound Abyss and find that one item left behind by the Blood Queen? However, the legend says that there is no return from the Endless Abyss, and it is simply a Jedi.”
Dharma King Sea Underworld stared at Zhang Ruochen and laughed, “If the Endless Abyss was truly a Jedi, why would the Master Ancestor send you to your death? Two days later, you’ll report to the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace, and when you get there, you’ll understand the meaning of what the Master Ancestor just said.”
“Also, when you go to the Psi Character Heavenly Palace, take the Third Grade Sacred Elemental Pill as soon as possible, and strive to break through to the Third Stage Half-Saint as soon as possible. The Psi Character Heavenly Palace is also a place of wrongdoing, without a strong cultivation, you won’t be able to survive there for long.”
After the explanation, Venerable Lord Sea Underworld’s Sacred Soul Split, disintegrated and disappeared into the Venerable Lord’s Great Hall.
It was only two days later that Zhang Ruochen would report to the Spectral Character Heavenly Palace.
In just two days’ time, even with the Third Grade Sacred Elemental Pill as an aid, it was impossible for a cultivator to break through from a Second Order Half-Saint to a Third Order Half-Saint.
It was precisely for this reason that Venerable Lord Hai Moi had told Zhang Ruochen to break through the realm after he had gone to the Spectral Character Heavenly Palace.
However, Zhang Ruochen did not want to wait that long, for others, it was only two days. For him, it was twenty days, enough time to break through the realm.
Returning to Forgotten Primordial Island, Zhang Ruochen immediately entered the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram and spent a day adjusting his state.
Immediately after, he took out the Third Grade Sacred Elemental Pill, inspected it, swallowed it into his mouth, put his hands together, and operated the Sixth Layer of the Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture to begin to fully impact the Third Stage Semi-Saint realm.
