For the next period of time, Zhang Ruochen spent all of his energy on comprehending the rules of the Palm Dao, studying the eleventh palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, and cultivating the Eight of Swords, these three things.
The Palm Dao, like the Sword Dao, was also one of the seventy-two Supreme Saint Dao.
Being able to be included in the Supreme Holy Dao was not because the Palm Dao was so mysterious and unfathomable, but because there were many beings who cultivated the Palm Dao, and amongst them, there were even some heavenly and earthly figures who had been born, who had researched the Palm Dao to the extreme, and had created a lot of horrifying and incomparable Palm Techniques.
It was because of the efforts and creations of those famous predecessors that those who came after them were able to cultivate the Palm Dao to an extremely high level, and as a result, there was a place for the Palm Dao amongst the Supreme Sacred Paths.
The reason why the seventy-two Supreme Sacred Paths were able to surpass the three thousand great paths was still because the upper limit of cultivators who cultivated the Supreme Sacred Paths was higher than those who cultivated the great paths.
Of course, if a being, who majored in one of the three thousand great dao, was able to become the topmost figure in heaven and earth. Then, the status of that dao would follow, and there would be more and more cultivators, and it might even be possible to be included in the seventy-third supreme holy dao.
Perhaps it was because the Palm Dao was easier to cultivate than the Sword Dao, or perhaps it was because the Rule Seed had already grown the root of the Sword Dao and crossed the threshold of the Holy Dao, in any case, in the next two months or so, Zhang Ruochen’s degree of comprehending the Palm Dao increased greatly, and he actually cultivated eight Palm Dao Rules in a row.
The total number of Palm Dao Rules reached nine.
“The Palm Dao Rule is the Supreme Holy Dao, if it was replaced with the enlightenment of other great dao and minor dao, the degree of cultivation should be even faster.”
Just one step away from ten rules, Zhang Ruochen’s mood was still quite good.
Above the cultivation of the Palm Technique, it wasn’t as smooth, even though Zhang Ruochen had spent a lot of time, he still hadn’t cultivated the eleventh Palm to the point of initiation.
The eleventh palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm was called “Dragon Elephant Passing through the Sky”, and once it was successfully cultivated, the grade of the palm would reach the level of a middle-ranked Sacred Art. In addition to this, the practitioner’s body would also undergo radical changes.
Firstly, the masculine energy in the cultivator’s body would grow ten times again, reaching 100,000 times that of a normal person.
Secondly, the cultivator’s body strength will also increase greatly, each tendon, are like a force can pull the mountain of the dragon; each piece of bone, are like a full strength of the giant elephant.
It is called, dragon tendon and phoenix bone.
It could be said that the cultivation of powerful holy arts, to a certain extent, were able to give feedback to the cultivator, able to enhance a certain aspect of the cultivator’s ability, or even cultivate a special physique.
If one was truly able to cultivate the eleventh palm to its great completion, then Zhang Ruochen’s physical body could be completely comparable to the True Dragon Body and the Extreme Yang Body.
However, the eleventh palm of the Dragon Image Prajna Palm was not only difficult to cultivate, but it was also extremely dangerous.
With the qualifications of the Deadly Zen Elder Ancestor, even when he was cultivating the Eleventh Palm of the Dragon Image Prajna Palm, he had an accident and almost blew himself up and died.
Zhang Ruochen had only seen that Wan Zhaoyi had executed the Eleventh Palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, however, at that time, Wan Zhaoyi had only cultivated it to a small level.
With the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, only when it reached great success would the masculinity in the body reach 100,000 times that of a normal person, and only then would the power be revealed to the fullest.
Zhang Ruochen smiled to himself, ”The eleventh palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm is more difficult than I could have imagined! ”Lol, I thought that if Ten Thousand Trillion Trillion was able to cultivate it to a small level of success, I would definitely be able to do the same, but I didn’t realise that even trying to reach the introductory level is now a difficult task. Perhaps …… the Dragon Image Prajna Palm in the Imperial Collection is missing a certain key part.”
“Back when I cultivated the ninth and tenth palms, I did so by first refining a Saint Grade Dragon Soul and a Saint Grade Elephant Soul into my arm. If I want to cultivate into the 11th Palm, would I also need to enhance the strength of my arms first and strengthen the Dragon Qi and Elephant Qi in my arms?”
In his previous life, Zhang Ruochen had indeed flipped through the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, but, it was only a handwritten copy of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire’s royal family’s collection, and there were a lot of incomplete parts.
Moreover, the further back one went, the more arcane the palm technique became, the more the notes became, and often dozens of pieces had to be written to explain a single palm, so naturally, the more places that were missing.
The true copy of the Dragon Image Prajna Palm was placed in the Chaozong Pavilion of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dao.
At that time, how could Zhang Ruochen, who was only a teenager, think that he would one day be able to reach his current height? At that time, he probably didn’t even think about the fact that one day, he would cultivate the eleventh palm of the Dragon Image Prajna Palm.
“Cultivating the eleventh palm is quite dangerous, it’s better to ask before cultivating.”
Zhang Ruochen stepped out of the inner space of the Space-Time Crystal Stone, took out the Transmission Light Talisman, burned a paragraph, and asked Grandmaster Indra by means of transmission.
“Wow-”
The Transmission Light Talisman turned into a stream of light and flew out.
Grandmaster Indra, being a disciple of the Buddha Emperor and one of the topmost powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dao nowadays, must have flipped through the true text of the Dragon Image Prajna Palm.
Although it was said that Zhang Ruochen had now joined the Guanghan Realm and was a traitor in the eyes of many Kunlun Realm cultivators, but with Zhang Ruochen’s affinity with the Buddha Emperor and the Golden Dragon, the two great saints of the Buddha Sect, it was still very likely that if Grandmaster Indra had really studied the Dragon Image Prajna Palm, he could help Zhang Ruochen to interpret the doubts in his heart.
“I also wonder if Senior Indra has broken through to the Great Saint realm?”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes revealed a light of anticipation as he stared at the sky.
After a long time, there was no signalling light talisman flying back, so Zhang Ruochen’s heart could not help but feel a little nervous and lost. Could it be that Master Indra had also grown dissatisfied with what he had done? Thinking that he had helped the Guanghan Realm win the Merit Battle and almost caused the Kunlun Realm to fall into war?
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Regardless of what others thought of him, at least he felt that everything he did was without shame.
If the Kunlun Realm was really caught in the flames of war, Zhang Ruochen would also definitely be the first to mount the battlefield, rushing to the forefront to guard the ones he wanted to guard.
Suddenly, a point of light appeared in the sky.
Zhang Ruochen suddenly opened his eyes, a look of delight on his face as he stretched out a hand and grabbed it towards the void, holding the summoning light talisman.
After determining that the light talisman was sent by Master Indra, an indescribable joy arose in Zhang Ruochen’s heart.
At least it showed that there were still cultivators in the Kunlun Realm who could understand his helplessness, and knew that he was just a wanderer who had a home he could not return to, and had been forced to leave his home and be displaced, rather than a traitor.
On top of the light talisman, Grandmaster Indra engraved densely packed tiny words, completely explaining the cultivation method of the eleventh palm of the Dragon Image Prajna Palm.
At the very end, an additional sentence was added: “Hold fast to the original heart.”
“Firmly guard the original heart.”
Zhang Ruochen recited silently and squeezed the jade light talisman in his hand a few points tighter.
Sure enough, in order to cultivate into the 11th Palm, one must first refine a Saint King level Dragon Soul and a Saint King level Elephant Soul into one’s arm. Moreover, it would be even easier to cultivate if one swallowed some to hot and sunny attribute Saint Pills.
“No wonder some Saint Kings need to spend decades, or even hundreds of years, before they can practise a middle-ranked Sacred Art, it’s really hard to cultivate.”
In his heart, Zhang Ruochen actually secretly had some admiration for Wan Zhaoyi, this fellow was worthy of being able to suppress Chen Wutian, the Mind Technique Buddhist Master, and the others, and become the representative figure of the Kunlun Realm for an era. In the beginning, it wasn’t without reason that he was able to go through with a figure like the Qingtian Blood Emperor when he was only at the Saint realm.
“I can do it too.”
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was firm, confident in himself.
In his ears, the voice transmission of the Wine Crazy Man rang out, “Zhang Ruochen, the high grade Dragon Spirit Crazy Cow Wine as well as brewed, come and have a taste.”
Zhang Ruochen no longer thought about it, his body became a blur and disappeared in place.
In the next moment, he was already standing beside the Wine Crazy Man, took a deep sniff, and let out a smile, “Just by taking a whiff of the wine’s aroma, the degree of the Holy Qi’s operation in my body seems to have sped up by a few points.”
In front of Zhang Ruochen and the Wine Crazy Man, a huge copper furnace stood, and it was from the furnace that the aroma of wine emanated.
“That’s natural, using a Buddha Emperor’s relics to boil Dragon Spirit Crazy Bull Wine was unheard of and unseen before, so I guess the strength of the wine will be quite considerable.”
The wine madman let out a hefty laugh, then with a wave of his sleeve, the copper furnace opened. Immediately, the wine gas rushed to the sky, and the aroma of the wine became even stronger, permeating the entire Yuanxu Peak Sacred Ground, and surging outwards towards the outside of the Sacred Ground.
“Wow!”
A ball of Buddha’s light flew out of the furnace and fell into Zhang Ruochen’s hand, transforming into a Sherry Seed.
Zhang Ruochen carefully observed, and now the Buddha Emperor’s Sherri Seed had not undergone any obvious changes. Obviously, boiling the Dragon Spirit Mad Cow Wine did not consume much of the relic.
“What a strong fragrance, since the new wine has been released, let’s all taste it together today.”
Zhang Ruochen’s mood was so good that he took out a table from inside his spatial ring and set up several wine cups.
Xiao Hei and Devil Yin smelled the fragrance of the wine and immediately rushed over.
Even a woman like Devil Voice, who didn’t know anything about wine, had some cravings and knew that a good wine was not to be missed.?
“Haha, old me has also successfully refined three Heavenly Dipper Purple Flame Talismans, I wonder if I’m qualified to drink a cup?” Ancient Songzi rushed over with big sleeves and was not polite at all, directly finding a seat and sitting down.
The aroma of the wine spread extremely fast, each wisp of wine was like a mad cow running, gathering but not dispersing, it actually travelled all the way to a thousand miles away.
Inside a purple formation map near the Yuanxu Peak Holy Land, Dead Void was holding a Rule Saint Artifact and was in the process of comprehending the Holy Dao, when suddenly his eyes opened and he sniffed at the tip of his nose, then he stood up, walked to the edge of the formation map, and grabbed a strand of the mad cow’s wine qi that was running over.
“Good wine, and I don’t know where the wine breath is wafting from?”
Dead Void swallowed the wine breath and felt incomparably intoxicated.
Standing at the centre of the formation diagram, King of the Bird, looking into the distance as if he was able to see the other side of the void, his voice was a little hoarse as he said, “Yuanxu Peak Holy Land.”
“Yuanxu Peak Holy Land? Zhang Ruochen? He actually has such a fine wine collection?” Dead Void let out a hearty laugh.
The King of the Snake snorted coldly, “Perhaps he has also realised that he is about to die, so that is why he took out the fine wine to taste it. According to the news from Wu Hao, they would depart for the Truth Divine Hall tomorrow, and the person escorting them was a clan member of the Nine Spirits Great Sage named Su Jing, probably at the realm of a seven-step Saint King. Wu Hao will tell us the time of their departure and the route they will travel in advance. Armed with this information, I can now even declare in advance that Zhang Ruochen is already a dead man.”
“Speaking in advance, after killing Zhang Ruochen, the wine on him has to belong to me. Hehehe.”
Death Void couldn’t help but sniff deeply again, his expression becoming even more intoxicated as he said, “Su Jing is a seven-step Saint King, so I guess it’s very difficult to deal with.”
“Don’t worry, Duke Zi Jie has already gone to invite a character at the level of a Nine-step Saint King, which is enough to clean him up. Moreover, that Ninth Step Saint King has a blood feud with Su Jing, so even if he goes out to kill him, it won’t be a violation of the Heavenly Rules.” King Jie said indifferently.
