Comprehending the first Truth Rule was considered a formal introduction, and next, Zhang Ruochen’s comprehension speeded up significantly.
The second, third …… just
took seven days, and the nine Truth Rules of the first Contemplation Diagram were completely comprehended by him.
Zhang Ruochen sat down on the ground and tried to mobilise the Truth Rules, and sure enough, some sensations appeared.
“Thousand Hand Dragon Elephant.” ? Zhang Ruochen’s body suddenly leapt up and performed one of the moves of the Dragon Elephant Palm, and incorporated the Truth Rules he had just realised into it.
Around his body, densely-packed palm imprints emerged, as if he had transformed into a thousand-handed divine Buddha.
“Rumble.”
The strong palm force struck the top of the wall.
The surface of the wall was slightly concave, and then, it vibrated as fast as ripples, dissolving the palm force struck by Zhang Ruochen. A moment later, the wall was levelled again.
Devil Voice was awakened by the tremendous sound of the palm strike and immediately asked, “Master, you have fully comprehended the first Contemplation Diagram?”
“It should be considered fully comprehended.”
Zhang Ruochen stood straight below the wall and looked at his palms, that palm just now had indeed exploded with double the power.
Previously, when he encountered a powerhouse like Undead Void, Zhang Ruochen had to swallow the Dragon Spirit Crazy Bull Wine in order to compete with him in terms of power. After mastering the Rule of Truth, even without drinking the Dragon Spirit Crazy Bull Wine, Zhang Ruochen still had that kind of strength.
Zhang Ruochen was making up for his previous weakness.
Devil Voice revealed an incredulous look, this was too fast, only seven days had passed, mind you, she hadn’t even comprehended the first Truth Rule yet.
In fact, the main reason why Zhang Ruochen’s degree of enlightenment was so fast was because, before he came here, he already had a certain amount of enlightenment on the Way of Truth.
Continue.
Zhang Ruochen came to the bottom of the second Contemplation Diagram and gazed over.
There were two tiny dots on the diagram, and as Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual energy immersed into it, all of a sudden, the two dots swam fast like two fish, and it was impossible to lock them in place.
Zhang Ruochen also thought of comprehending one of the dots first, but it was simply useless.
When he tried to comprehend one of the dots, the other dot automatically entered his line of sight and interfered with his consciousness, making it impossible for him to concentrate at all.
Just like this, time flew by as he kept fighting the two points, and soon three days passed.
“It should be that I’m not using the right method, but how exactly should I go about comprehending it?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t continue to consume time here, and prepared to return to the Mirror Fragrance Cliff Dojo, first going to the Way of Truth graphic left behind by the Tree God, and finding the right way to go about it, and then coming back to the second Contemplation Diagram.
“Have the two of you made any gains?” Zhang Ruochen asked Devil Voice and Sword Spirit.
Slightly discouraged, Devil Voice shook her head, “It’s too difficult, it seems like I’m still suited to absorbing other people’s Sacred Dao.”
The Sword Spirit said, “Comprehended four truth rules.”
“Oh?”
Zhang Ruochen was slightly surprised, knowing that since he was able to comprehend four Truth Rules, it would only be a matter of time before he fully comprehended the first Contemplation Diagram.
On second thought, Zhang Ruochen felt that this was not something strange.
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword was forged from the Divine Iron of Creation, and the Sword Spirit that was born out of it could not be compared to an ordinary weapon spirit? It was only natural to possess a high level of enlightenment.
“About how much longer will it take for you to fully realise the first Conceptual Diagram?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
The Sword Spirit said, “Three days at most.”
“Good, I’ll wait for you for three days.” Zhang Ruochen said.
For the next three days, Zhang Ruochen didn’t bother to comprehend the second Conceptual Diagram, instead, he took out the Rule Emperor Weapon and comprehended the Palm Dao Rule.
The secret room not only had active Truth Rules, but it was also very suitable for comprehending other Sacred Dao Rules.
Zhang Ruochen’s degree of comprehending the Palm Dao Rules was far greater than that of the outside world, and in just three days, there was a new breakthrough, with the number of Palm Dao Rules in his body reaching twelve.
“The cultivation environment is really too marvellous, if I can keep cultivating inside the Truth Divine Hall, how good would it be, my cultivation will definitely be able to soar, and I will soon be able to break through to the realm of one-step Saint King.”
Even Zhang Ruochen was somewhat wanting to worship the Truth Divine Hall.
After all, by becoming a disciple of the Divine Hall of Truth, the chances of entering the Divine Hall to cultivate were definitely much more than other cultivators.
Of course, there were advantages and disadvantages to worshipping the Truth Divine Hall.
Once one became a disciple of the Divine Hall of Truth, one would definitely be subject to a lot of constraints, and one would also have to work for the Divine Hall, so many times one would be unable to do anything without their own control, and it would be impossible for them to be as free as they are now.
Besides, Zhang Ruochen was now a troublesome figure, even if he wanted to worship the Divine Hall of Truth, the Divine Hall of Truth might not accept him.
The Sword Spirit of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword had already fully comprehended the first Conceptual Diagram, so Zhang Ruochen put it and the Demonic Sound back away, and then he walked out of the cultivation chamber.
“The time I agreed with Lingxi and the others was ten days, but now thirteen days have passed, I don’t know where they are waiting for me?” Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
A large number of powerful people from the Cloud Realm were still surrounding the outside of the Mirror Fragrance Cliff Dojo, and without Zhang Ruochen setting up a teleportation array, there was no way for them to return to the Dojo.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen guessed that they must still be waiting outside the Truth Divine Hall.
Just as he stepped out of the cultivation chamber, Zhang Ruochen saw that outside the door, there was actually a Second Grade Disciple of the Truth Divine Hall standing, seemingly waiting for him.
That second-class disciple, who possessed the cultivation of the Supreme Saint realm, revealed a smile when he saw Zhang Ruochen walk out, “Second-class disciple of the Temple of Truth, Wind Leaf, by the order of my family’s son, I’m here to wait for His Royal Highness Prince Ruochen.” ?
“Your Highness Prince Ruochen.”
Zhang Ruochen was somewhat interested in this title.
From this, it could also be seen that the other party must have checked him out and knew that he was the Crown Prince of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Who is your son?”
“Feng Yan.” Feng Ye said.
Zhang Ruochen wasn’t surprised and asked, “Have you seen, several other cultivators from our Broad Cold Realm?”
“Three days ago, Your Excellency had invited them to Empyrean Island as guests.” Wind Leaf said.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t know whether the other party was a friend or a foe, so at once, he revealed a wary look and said, “Where is the Empty Spirit Island?”
“Prince Ruochen please follow me.”
Wind Leaf smiled faintly and walked straight towards the bottom of the steps, leading the way in front.
There was no way around it, Mu Lingshi and the others had already gone to Empyrean Island, and even if this was a trap, Zhang Ruochen had to go.
However, he believed that being a disciple of the Truth Divine Hall, he shouldn’t be so bad as to deal with him in the Truth Heavenly Domain, and once the word got out, it would definitely ruin the reputation of the Truth Divine Hall.
Empyrean Island was not far from the Truth Divine Hall and was an island suspended in mid-air.
Standing on top of the island and looking towards the Truth Divine Hall, it was as if the hall was close at hand.
“Within a radius of ten thousand miles of the Truth Divine Hall, the rules of the Holy Dao are all quite active, to be able to have a suspended holy island within this area, this Feng Yan’s identity is really not simple. When we go back, we must investigate him properly.” Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
At the centre of the Hollow Spirit Island, there towered an imposing Holy Temple, and around the Holy Temple, there were a large number of pavilions, planted with all sorts of Spirit Medicine Sacred Seedlings and exotic flowers and plants.
In addition to that, there were also some maids in white clothes, tending to the sacred medicines in the medicinal garden, all of them were at the wonderful age of two or eight, fresh and unassuming, and possessed a Saint realm cultivation.
To be able to come here as maids of honour, they were not ordinary people either, in the Kunlun Realm, only the Holy Maiden of an Ancient Sect would have that qualification.
From afar, Zhang Ruochen heard the sounds of battle, and with some worry in his heart, he immediately sped up his steps.
To the east of the Holy Temple, there was a Holy Martial Stadium.
At this moment, two silhouettes were slicing and dicing and fighting inside, and one of the silhouettes was Feng Yan.
Feng Yan stood in the centre of the holy martial arts field, his body’s holy power was as surging as the sea, while his body was a holy mountain standing in the middle of the sea, no matter how fierce the attacks from the opposite side were, they couldn’t injure him for a single moment.
“The power of Extreme Yin Underworld Ice is really powerful, but Miss Lingxi, the power you strike is condensed but not gathered, it’s hard to pose a threat to me. If one comprehends the Rules of Truth, the power of the Extreme Yin Underworld Ice Force will definitely be more than just a step up.”
“The Ice and Fire Phoenix’s innate Phoenix Plume is powerful, but it’s a pity that you haven’t cultivated the Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens to a grand completion, and a grand completion of the Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens combined with the Phoenix Plume would really be infinitely powerful.”
…… While
sparring, Feng Yan was actually instructing Mu Lingshi, pointing out the deficiencies in her cultivation and also explaining ways to improve.
Zhang Ruochen stood at the edge of the Sacred Martial Arena, quietly watching the duo who were sparring and exchanging ideas.
For some unknown reason, it was clearly a very normal Holy Dao exchange, but an indescribable feeling arose in his heart.
This feeling came somewhat inexplicably.
Zhang Ruochen asked himself that he was not a narrow-minded person, but seeing other young men, instructing Mu Lingshi on cultivation, he was still somewhat repulsed.
“Could it be because of caring too much? Or maybe it was because it had been lost too many times and no longer dared to lose?”
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes, trying hard to expel the inexplicable emotion in his heart.
It was because there were too many distracting thoughts in his heart that Zhang Ruochen actually didn’t realise that Mu Lingshi had already walked up to him, her pleasant laughter, ringing in his ears, said, “Zhang Ruochen, what are you thinking about? How come you’re in enlightenment anytime, anywhere?”
Zhang Ruochen reopened his eyes and looked at the stunning immortal face in front of him, her smile was incomparably playful, like the stars and moon in the sky, capable of illuminating the darkest and loneliest of nights.
“Star Spirit.”
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help but pronounce these two words, and then, when Mu Lingshi was caught off guard, he actually opened a pair of arms and held her tightly in his embrace.
Tight.
Mu Lingshi was somewhat caught off guard, and her entire body felt as if she had been electrocuted, and the expression on her face was completely dumbfounded.
Because, Zhang Ruochen hadn’t called her “Star Spirit” for a long time.
And …… Zhang Ruochen even took the initiative to surge her into his arms, which was really an unimaginable thing!
