Ding Qiu’s cave was only a few hundred metres away from the foot of Qian Yuan Mountain, and was considered to be a very poor grade cave.
Even so, the concentration of holy qi in the cave was still quite amazing, far exceeding other spiritual mountain treasures.
The two entered the cave, Ji Shui’s body blood mist, gradually converged into the body, revealing a tall figure, a curved ****, and a pair of very delicate white jade hands.
Only, on her head, she was wearing a blood-red hood, which completely covered her face as well, and her age and appearance could not be seen.
“There are two things that Master asked to give to hand over to you.”
From her bosom, Ji Shui took out a glove and held it against Zhang Ruochen.
The purplish-black glove was very heavy, and there were seven Sacred Jades inlaid in the centre of the palm.
The colour of each Sacred Jade was different, yet it contained a powerful energy, just like seven stars hanging in the dark dome of the sky, making people feel awe.
“The power fluctuation in the Sacred Jade, how could it be so strong?”
Zhang Ruochen had a feeling that once he put on the gloves and activated their power, he was afraid that he would be able to shatter the earth with a single punch.
Ji Shui Dao: “The seven Sacred Jades set on top of the Seven Slaying Fist Gloves are not natural Sacred Jades, but rather, they use the bones of the seven Sacred Ones, which were calcined over a period of seven hundred years, and ultimately, congealed into fingernail-sized bone jades.”
“In order to assist you in impacting the Divine Son, Master personally took the initiative to borrow this piece of the Seven Slaughter Sect’s Sect-supporting Treasure. I’ll give you three days, make sure to tame the Seven Slaughter Fist’s artefact spirit and refine it into a battle weapon of your own.”
Since it was the treasure of the town clan, how could it be lent out?
It must have been the Sea Underworld Dharma King who made the move to take it by force.
The regional Seven Slaughter Sect naturally didn’t dare to offend the Blood God Sect’s Dharma King.
Although, the Seven Slaughter Fist Gloves were ranked very low above the Thousand Stripes Sacred Artifact Spectrum, it was still ultimately a Thousand Stripes Sacred Artifact, with an inestimable value.
Ji Shui took out another dan bottle and said, “In the bottle, there are a total of thirty Dao Transformation Dans, if you take one every day, after a month, you should be able to break through to the middle or even late stage of a Third Stage Half Saint.”
The Dao Transformation Pill, was an eighth-grade elixir, the value of each one was comparable to a holy stone, and for cultivators of the Fish Dragon Realm and low-stage Half-Saints, it could be described as a divine pill to enhance their cultivation.
Of course, the price of the Dao Transformation Pill was too scary for the average low ranked Half-Saint to afford, let alone a cultivator of the Fish Dragon Realm.
The entire fortune of a First Order Half-Saint was estimated to be equivalent to a single Holy Stone.
Receiving the thirty Dao Transformation Pills, Zhang Ruochen, however, was not the least bit excited and appeared calm. Even though the Dao Transformation Dan was powerful, it was still more than ten times worse than the Divine Blood.
When Ji Shui saw Gu Linfeng’s unperturbed appearance, he immediately, revealed a puzzled look.
To know, Ji Shui had personally gone to Yuanfu to check Gu Linfeng’s details, and this person was very light-hearted and lustful, violent and brutal, but also a bit of a bully.
After coming to the Blood God Sect, Gu Linfeng also had the same character.
Although, many times, Ji Shui was quite sympathetic to him, deep down, she simply despised him, and did not think that a person like him could become the Divine Son of the Blood God Sect.
The flaws in his character also doomed him to not have too much achievement.
How could someone with a heart like his be able to be ancient when he saw the thirty Dao Transformation Pills and the Seven Killing Fist Gloves?
Ji Shui soon realised that something was wrong, only to see that, that boy Gu Lin Feng’s pair of eyes were actually staring straight at her chest, revealing a somewhat evil smile.
“Uncle Ji’s figure, compared to Her Highness the Holy Maiden, isn’t even the slightest bit bad, so why have you been hiding yourself in the mist?”
Zhang Ruochen’s fingers, resting on his chin, stared at the astonishing arc in front of Ji Water’s chest, revealing a scrutinising look, as if he was judging the size and dimensions.
Ji Water let out a humph as a powerful blood qi, surged open, covering the entire cave.
Zhang Ruochen felt the coldness from Ji Water’s body and immediately retreated backwards, sticking to the top of the stone wall before stopping.
The Ding Qiu Cave Mansion was as if it had been transformed into an eerie hell, and in the blood mist, the harsh sounds of ghosts crying and souls howling resounded, and there were white bone silhouettes, which presented themselves, appearing particularly horrifying.
Ji Shui stood at the centre of the sea of blood qi, his body red, saying, “Gu Linfeng, you’d better not be too reckless, hitting your ideas on me, you’ll die a miserable death.”
“Senior uncle, why are you so angry, senior nephew is complimenting you.”
Without a trace of fear, Zhang Ruochen smiled and added, “If I were to become a Divine Son, I would ask the Senior Ancestor to marry you off to me. Senior Uncle guess, would the Senior Ancestor agree?”
Hearing this question, even Ji Shui’s heart jumped.
Ji Shui knew very well that once Gu Linfeng became a Divine Son, his status in the eyes of the Sea Underworld Dharma King would climb to a level that no one could match.
If Gu Linfeng really wanted to marry her, the Sea Underworld Dharma King would definitely agree.
At that time, how should she conduct herself and rebel against the Sea Underworld Dharma King?More than once, Ji Shui had wanted to rebel against the Blood God Sect and break away from the control of the Sea Underworld Dharma King.
However, the Sea Underworld Dharma King was like an unshakeable mountain, suppressing her head, and anyone who dared to rebel would surely die, including the family behind her, which would also be exterminated.
“It’s not too late to say this when you become a divine son.”When she said this, Ji Shui appeared calm.
Because, she knew very well that her fate was never in her own hands.
In the end, she and Gu Linfeng were not the same, they were both pitiful, pathetic people, like ants, who could only be born when Dharma King Hai Mei wanted them to be born. If they were told to go left, how could they dare to go right?
Of course, she also by no means thought that a heart like Gu Linfeng’s could become a Divine Son, and that in the end, he was only a slave to be mastered by the Sea Underworld Dharma King.
Ji Shui’s delicate body, split into nine, transformed into nine strands of blood qi and flew out of the cave, not wanting to stay with Gu Linfeng to cultivate at all.
Seeing Ji Shui exit the cave, the smile on Zhang Ruochen’s face withdrew as he muttered to himself, “Finally, I’ve forced her out, with her around, it’s simply impossible to use the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram to cultivate.”
Looking at the Seven Killing Fist Gloves in his hand, the corner of Zhang Ruochen’s mouth hooked, “What’s the need for three days to subdue the spirit of a low-grade Thousand Stripes Saint Artifact?”
Zhang Ruochen activated the arrays in Ding Qiu’s cave, and only then did he take out the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram and entered the world of the diagram.
It didn’t take too long for Zhang Ruochen to refine the Seven Slaughter Fist Gloves and successfully control the artefact spirit.
He put the Seven Slaughter Fist Glove on his right hand and only felt that, as if the glove was with his palm and wrist, it was completely fused into one, and as long as he injected his Saint Qi into it, he could control it as he wished.
“With the Seven Slaying Fist Gloves, even if I don’t use my sword technique or temporal power, and only use my palm technique, I’m afraid that I’ll be able to compete with a Seventh Order Half-Saint.”
Since he had the Seven Slaughter Fist Gloves and the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, the other battle weapons, too, would be useless.
From his spatial ring, Zhang Ruochen took out more than a dozen battle weapons, the vast majority of which were True Martial Treasure Weapons, and there were also some Saint Weapons.
Among them, the most powerful Saint Weapons were none other than the Rain Mio Blood Blade from the Hundred Lines Saint Weapons Spectrum and the Thousand Lines Saint Weapons Seven Saint Snake Spear.
Immediately after, Zhang Ruochen took out the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and refined all the battle weapons on the ground, integrating them into the sword body.
The Rain Mio Blood Sword and the Seven Saint Snake Spear were both battle weapons that would make a Saint’s heart flutter, however, Zhang Ruochen did not feel pity.
As long as there was the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, one sword, was enough to withstand ten thousand weapons.
Melting all of the battle weapons, the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword became even heavier and sharper, and the number of inscriptions within it, reached over 1,300.
“Only when the number of inscriptions reaches two thousand will the power of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword take another qualitative leap. It’s a pity that there are still several more Thousand Stripe Saint Weapons to refine before we can reach that step.”
Every Thousand Stripes Saint Artifact was a great artifact of Zhen Zong, so how could it be that easy to obtain?
Without further thought, Zhang Ruochen began to practice his sword.
“One Moment Four Directions Change.”
Zhang Ruochen carried the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and condensed five time marks in a row, integrating them into his sword technique and stabbing out with a single stroke.
The flow of time within a radius of a hundred feet clearly became slow, and the speed of the sword, however, was surprisingly fast, like a black light that cut through the sky, arriving a hundred feet away in an instant.
“With this move, within a hundred feet, who can be my opponent?”Zhang Ruochen said.
A moment of Four Direction Change, within a hundred zhang, could be considered an invincible sword move.
If, Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation, reached the Fourth Order Half-Saint, with this move, even the Ninth Order Half-Saint would have to be scared of him.
In the next few moments, Zhang Ruochen continued to hone the Time Sword Technique, striving to integrate this sword move with the sword intent he had cultivated as soon as possible, so that he could explode into an even greater power.
At the same time, he also had to cultivate the second move of the Eight Changes of the Scale, “Two Moments of Divine Chaos Change”, to a grand completion as soon as possible.
The power of the second move was even more powerful than the first move.
While Zhang Ruochen was practicing his sword, a black hole with a diameter of ten feet flew in from the distance and hovered in midair, sucking in all the light and heat from the surroundings, making it look quite bizarre.
It was able to devour light.
Within the black hole, an extremely melodious woman’s voice resounded, “What a powerful sword technique, I’ve been cultivating in the Qiankun Divine Wood World for several years and have broken through to the Half-Saint realm, but I’m afraid that I still won’t be able to block even one of his moves.”
Zhang Ruochen naturally noticed the black hole hanging in the air, so he put his sword stance away and a smile appeared on his face as he said, “The Darkness Body really does get stronger the more you cultivate it, Han Qiu, with your current physique, it’s hard to have an enemy in the same realm anymore.”
The black hole hanging in mid-air slightly distorted, and an overwhelmingly beautiful young woman slowly walked out, her feet stepping on the void as she landed on the ground.
It was none other than Han Chu.
Han Chu’s body was permeated with an icy cold aura, yet on her glistening white face, there was an elegant and soulful smile as she said, “Unfortunately, compared to you, it’s still a far cry from you.”
Zhang Ruochen stared at her body and let out a light eep, saying, “The Dao you major in seems to be somewhat extraordinary.”
There were three thousand great dao in the world and one hundred thousand minor dao.
On top of that, on top of the great dao, there were seventy-two supreme holy dao and nine kinds of Everlasting Ancient Dao.
The Dao that Han Chu majored in was by no means a great Dao, and even …… surpassed the Supreme Holy Dao.
“Could it be the Everlasting Ancient Way?”Zhang Ruochen was somewhat moved.
Han Chu nodded and said, “It is precisely the Nine Everlasting Ancient Ways, the Way of Darkness.”
No one knew better than Zhang Ruochen how difficult it was to cultivate the Everlasting Ancient Way.
In the Ninth Transformation of the Fish Dragon, when he was comprehending the Rules of Time and the Rules of Space, it could be said that it was a life of nine deaths, and he had squeezed his own potential to the limit before he was able to comprehend the rules of the two Everlasting Ancient Ways, and reach the introductory level
“How did you comprehend the Darkness Rule?”Zhang Ruochen said.
Even with the Darkness Body, which had certain advantages, it was as difficult as heaven to comprehend the Darkness Rules in the Fish Dragon Realm.
In the history of the Kunlun Realm, not even 100,000 years might be able to give birth to a being that majored in the Darkness Rule.
From this, one could see how terrifying that difficulty was.
Without amazing encounters, it was impossible for Han Qiu to comprehend the Darkness Rule at the Fish Dragon Realm.
However, before breaking through to the Half-Saint realm, she had stayed in the Scroll World and hadn’t come into contact with the outside world at all.
Could it be that her miraculous encounter was in the Tulip World?
In that case, wouldn’t it be even more astonishing, after all, Zhang Ruochen knew more about the Touhou World than Han Chu. If, indeed, there was something extraordinary in the Touhou World, Zhang Ruochen would definitely be the first to know about it.
