“Living in the Hundred Flowers Palace, you can refer to the engraved diagrams of the Mandala Flower God’s Way of Truth?” Zhang Ruochen asked out.
“Of course.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Alright, until I receive the Dragon Soul and Elephant Soul, I’ll temporarily borrow this place.”
The Demon Jedi King instantly smiled heartily and immediately arranged for an attendant with the cultivation of a Lower Realm Saint to take Zhang Ruochen forward to the cave sky that Hundred Flowers Palace had specially constructed for its honoured guests.
This cultivation cave was called the “Swallow Palace”, and from the outside, it was just a tower-shaped building that wasn’t too big or small.
Opening the door of the tower and stepping inside, it was a space bubble with a diameter of a hundred miles.
In the space bubble, there was a martial arts practice ground, pavilions, birds and flowers, ancient pines and waterfalls, the scenery was extremely beautiful, it was simply a mysterious mansion of the immortals that was isolated from the world.
“Just building such a spatial bubble is estimated to cost quite a few Saint Stones, the Thousand Rui Realm is really generous.” Zhang Ruochen sighed.
The maid named “Swallow” smiled with bright eyes and teeth, “Your Excellency is an honoured guest and deserves to be treated as such. I am Your Excellency’s exclusive maid, so if there’s anything you need, just ask me to do it. In addition, if Your Excellency doesn’t want to be disturbed, or if you don’t want outsiders to know your secrets, you can turn on the Hundred Forbidden Formations here.”
After explaining some more precautions to Zhang Ruochen about the Hundred Flowers Palace, Swallow retreated.
For the first time, Zhang Ruochen felt the benefits of owning a large amount of Sacred Stones, he could buy whatever he wanted to buy, moreover, there were Sacred Level powerhouses as attendants, enjoying the best treatment.
Those Divine Sons and Divine Grandsons must have even more Sacred Stones, and could completely buy top grade Sacred Pills, or even Earth Grade Sacred Pills, and use them to enhance their cultivation, and I’m afraid that that kind of degree of cultivation would be unimaginable to the average cultivator.
Zhang Ruochen burned a transmission light talisman and transmitted it back to the Mirror Fragrance Cliff Dojo before returning to the Hundred Flowers Palace again, opening the Hundred Forbidden Formations of the Swallow Palace, and starting to refine the three Joyful Fury Pills.
“An elixir of one million pieces a piece, even a Saint King level figure would be quite a meathead to buy one. I hope to be able to cultivate into a Spiritual Power Saint King in one fell swoop with these three Joyful Wrath Pills.” ?
Zhang Ruochen had already projected that if he cultivated into a Spiritual Strength Saint King, then, in the second layer of the sea domain, he would only need to use his spiritual power and he would be able to smoothly navigate the Ark of Truth.
When he encountered the defenders of the second layer of the sea, he would be able to go all out and let go of the boat, no longer tied up like last time.
Zhang Ruochen then entered the inner space of the Space-Time Crystal Stone, swallowed a Joy and Wrath Dan, and began to refine it.
The Joy and Anger Pill contained a huge amount of the power of the seven emotions and six desires, of which, “Joy” and “Anger” took up a major portion, so one could use these two emotional powers to quench one’s spirit.
Zhang Ruochen, who was sitting on the ground, sometimes laughed aloud, sometimes raged with anger, sometimes laughed slightly, sometimes raged with rage, his expression was quite maniacal and completely out of his control.
With the assistance of the Pure Destruction Divine Flame, it only took five days for Zhang Ruochen to refine the Dan Power of the first Joy and Rage Pill, and when he conducted an internal check, he now saw that the strength of his Spiritual Power had indeed risen by a large margin.
If before, his spiritual strength was only at the early stage of the fifty-fourth rank, then now it had entered the middle stage, or even the late stage, and the improvement was quite huge.
If he didn’t take the Joy and Fury Pill and only relied on cultivation, I’m afraid that in another year, Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual strength might not be able to have the current strength.
The only thing that gave him a headache was that in five days’ time, only 80% of the Dan Power of that Joyful Wrath Dan had been refined.
The remaining 20% of the Dan power penetrated into the entire body and even merged into the Saint Source and Saint Soul, refining it was quite troublesome, and without a few months, I’m afraid it would be very difficult to refine it cleanly.
Without complete refining, there was no way to control one’s emotions of joy and anger.
“It’s true that cheap goods are no good.”
Zhang Ruochen sighed with some depression, however, such side effects were still within his tolerance. Next, Zhang Ruochen laughed out loud without his control for a quarter of an hour before he began to refine the second Joy and Rage Pill.
…… Another
cavernous sky built from space bubbles, Demon Jedi King, Treasure Inspector Qian Liwen, and a few other important figures from the Thousand Rui Realm gathered to deliberate.
“Among the treasures that that human man sold to the Hundred Flowers Palace, they include items from each of the seven realms of Shadrachia, and there are also a large number of items that contain Evil Shakra Qi from the Inferno Realm, so it’s safe to assume that he must have taken part in the Merit Battle a while ago, and it was a Sage Merit Battle.” The Demon Jedi King said.
A beautiful woman who possessed a peony petal-shaped flower tin on her brow revealed a puzzled look in her eyes as she said, “It’s actually a cultivator from the Shatuo Seven Realms? To be able to grasp so many treasures, one’s identity must be extraordinary. It should be at the level of a Realm Son, or a Divine Envoy. However, even so, it’s just a junior from a weak realm, why did you invite us all here to deliberate?”
The peony petals at the centre of his eyebrows were not drawn, but grew there naturally.
A white-clothed scribe smiled faintly, “Could it be that the Protector King feels that the other party has no background but holds a large amount of holy stones, and that he is even thinking of killing and seizing wealth?”
The Demon Jedi King’s eyes were solemn as he said in a cold voice, “Shuang Feng, this king is at least one of the Hundred Flowers Palace’s Protector Kings, how has he ever done something so underhanded? Besides, do you really think that a weak realm’s Realm Son and Divine Envoy can be killed casually, there are gods in the weak realm as well. Geniuses like Boundary Sons and Divine Ambassadors are already enough to draw the attention of the gods, who can hide their traces from the gods?”
The white-clothed scribe named Shuang Feng hastened to make amends, “It’s just a joke, the Protector King mustn’t take it seriously.”
The beautiful woman with peony petals on her eyebrows asked, “Then, why exactly does the Protector King attach so much importance to this young human man, is there something special about him?”
“This King suspects that this son is Zhang Ruochen, who is ranked number one on the Sage Merit List.” The Demon Jedi King uttered the suspicion in his heart.
Sure enough, after these words were spoken, all of these great figures present revealed grave expressions.
The Demon Jedi King added, “Just a few days ago, this king sent people to retrieve the scrolls and information of dozens of important figures in the Shatuo Seven Realms Sacred Realm, and not a single one of them matched up with that human man. Therefore, this king suspects that this person has used the art of change. Precisely when he was in the Ancestral Spirit Realm, Zhang Ruochen changed his appearance and fooled all of the Rakshasa Marquises, so he must be proficient in a rather profound technique of change.”
“If it’s really him, it’s a troublesome figure.” The beautiful woman with peony petals on her eyebrows said.
Shuang Feng said with a straight face, “There are quite a few enemies in the Broad Cold Realm, and I’m afraid that Zhang Ruochen’s purpose for coming to the Tendu Sacred City is not simple. Should we tell the girl about it, she is ice smart and might be able to think of a proper solution.”
Although Zhang Ruochen was only a half-step Saint King, his identity was too special for them not to take it seriously.
Other things aside, just the identity of being number one on the Saint Merit List was already enough to cause the Godly Capital to draw attention to it.
The Demon Jedi King shook his head and said, ”The girl is here to purify herself, so it’s better not to bother her with such mundane matters. This King thinks that even if that human man is really Zhang Ruochen, since he chose to change his appearance to do business with the Hundred Flowers Palace, he probably doesn’t want to invite trouble. Since that’s the case, let’s just pretend that we don’t know anything. However, it’s also important to be on guard, lest we be caught off guard when something big happens.”
“Listen to the Protector King’s arrangement.”
The few people present said in unison.
Zhang Ruochen was in the Space-Time Crystal Stone, cultivating for twenty days in a row, finally refining ninety percent of the Dan Qi from the three Joy and Wrath Pills, and without any surprises, the strength of his spiritual power impacted to the fifty-fifth rank, crossing over into the level of the Spiritual Power Saint King.
The Truth Upanishad in Zhang Ruochen’s body helped a lot when he impacted the fifty-five step barrier.
At that time, the fifty-fifth juncture was as unbreakable as an iron gate. But after the Truth Upanishad points of light surged past, that iron door instantly became as if it was made of sand, and with a gentle punch, Zhang Ruochen broke through the realm.
Experiencing this, Zhang Ruochen realised even more that Truth Upanishad was just too unusual.
Walking out of the Space-Time Crystal Stone, Zhang Ruochen immediately opened his Heavenly Eyes and observed his surroundings, only to feel that the entire world had become incomparably marvellous, completely different from the world he had seen before.
Zhang Ruochen’s fingers moved, and dozens of finger phantoms immediately appeared, quickly carving into the void.
In just an instant, a Time Seal was carved out.
Holding that time imprint in his palm, Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly, “When this time imprint is struck, it will be able to chop away at least fifty years of the enemy’s lifespan.”
Zhang Ruochen believed that as his spiritual power became stronger and stronger, the Time Seal that he would make in the future would be able to completely chop away the opponent’s hundred years of lifespan or thousand years of lifespan.
“I also wonder if it is possible to burn the Time Seal onto the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword?”
If it could be burned onto the sword, then every time Zhang Ruochen swung out his sword, even if the sword body was unable to injure the enemy, the time imprints that flew out from the sword would be able to chop away decades of the opponent’s lifespan.
With dozens of sword slashes in a row, even a Saint King would probably be killed.
Zhang Ruochen immediately took out the Secret Canon of Time and Space and carefully flipped through it, one by one, and it did not disappoint him, in the corner position of one of the articles, he actually found a similar record.
However, the Secret Canon said that one had to use the Temporal Agate and the water in the River of Time to carve out a Time Seal in order to preserve it on top of the Sacred Artifact for a long time.
Otherwise, the holy power of the holy weapon would explode out, and in a split second, it would shatter the time imprint.
“I still don’t believe it!”
Zhang Ruochen took out the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and placed it on the ground, after which, he lifted up an inscription pen, and carved it right on top of the sword body. A moment later, a complex time mark appeared on the sword body.
“Wow-” Zhang
Ruochen injected his Saint Qi into the sword body, and only after hundreds of inscriptions appeared on the sword body, the time imprint crumbled and turned into a particle of light, disappearing into the air.
“It’s also too unstable, is it really necessary to search for the Temporal Agate and the water in the Long River of Time? I don’t even know where I can find space-time crystals, let alone those two things?”
Frowning and pondering for a long time, Zhang Ruochen muttered to himself, “It seems like it’s time to read more books and learn more about the Celestial Court Realm, otherwise, there are a lot of common-sense things that I don’t know. One doesn’t know where to look for the things one needs.”
With that, Zhang Ruochen opened the Hundred Forbidden Formation and transmitted his voice to Swallow.
A moment later, Swallow entered the spatial bubble, arched her hand and bowed to Zhang Ruochen, saying, “What are your orders, my lord?”
“Does the Hundred Flowers Palace have a collection of a hundred~million#^^^small! Say?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“Not really.”
Swallow pondered slightly and said, “However, Lord Demon Jedi King has a lot of books in his collection, so if Your Excellency really needs them, I can go and ask him for permission, and perhaps I can borrow the books that Your Excellency wishes to view.”
“No need, directly take me to see the Demon Jedi King.” Zhang Ruochen said.
