Ever since he had obtained the three-legged ghoul, Xiao Hei was like a madman, locking himself up inside a secret room in the Palace of Extreme Bliss, and setting up a formation to prohibit outsiders from entering.
Zhang Ruochen and Wood Aura were blocked from seeing it outside the formation.
“Could Little Black have already been eaten by the three-legged Corpse Eater?”Mu Lingxi was a little worried.
“It shouldn’t have.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “If it had been eaten, the formation here would have long been gnawed through by the Three-Footed Ghoul Eater.”
In the next few moments, Mu Lingshi began to study the Enlightenment Mirror that she had just obtained.
Zhang Ruochen, on the other hand, took out the Time and Space Mysteries and studied the time imprints on it.
Only by arranging a higher level Time Formation could it help Mu Lingshi and those cultivators in the Guanghan Realm, so that their cultivation could rise a little faster.
Whether it was the Temporal Agate given to Mu Lingshi or the lower level Time Formation that was set up, it was only able to slow down the flow of time by a factor of two.
Now that his spiritual power had greatly improved, Zhang Ruochen was prepared to set up a formation with a time flow of three to one.
While viewing the Secret Code of Time and Space, he practised and inscribed it.
By the time Su Jing and the mental force doppelganger returned to the Moon God Dojo, Zhang Ruochen had already practiced almost enough to skilfully inscribe a higher level time mark.
After becoming one with his spiritual power bilocation and allowing his spiritual power to reach its peak state, Zhang Ruochen then held the Time and Space Mysterious Codex in his hand and came to the bottom of a twenty-two feet tall clean white jade stele.
On the jade stele was the diagram of the Way of Truth left behind by the Moon God – the Group of Stars Around the Moon Diagram.
Zhang Ruochen first carved some formation pictographs on the ground, before he sat down at the very centre of the pictograph. He took out a piece of White Time Sacred Jade and concentrated on carving it.
The white moon was in the sky.
The bright moonlight spilled down onto the jade tablet, making it appear particularly crystalline and radiant.
In the distance, Su Jing and King Wu Han stood side by side, looking out in the direction of the jade tablet.
King Wu Han’s eyes narrowed as he asked, “What is that kid doing?”
Su Jing laughed, “He should be burning time seals and setting up time formations. Brother Wu Han, you have to know that Zhang Ruochen set up the Time Formation to help the cultivators of the Guanghan Realm cultivate, not for himself.”
“It is precisely because of the Time Array that those little ones have spent twice as much time cultivating in the Truth Heavenly Realm.”
King Wu Han didn’t have a favourable opinion of Zhang Ruochen and just snorted coldly, thinking that he was buying people’s hearts.
Su Jing added, “Earlier, this king and Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power doppelganger went to meet with the Void Spirit Realm’s Qingdianzi and helped a dojo in the Void Spirit Realm set up a spatial formation and a time formation. Brother Wu Han, you should understand the significance of this, right?”
King Wu Han’s old eyes, which had no waves in their ancient wells, flashed with a strange look as he said meaningfully, “The status of the Green Destiny Son in the Void Spirit Realm is not low.”
Su Jing said, “Right now, there are many figures like the Green Destiny Son who have taken the initiative to seek help from Zhang Ruochen, wanting to befriend him.”
King Wu Han fell into silence, as if he was thinking about something.
The entire night passed, and Zhang Ruochen finally succeeded in setting up the Time Formation and left happily. As he left, it could be seen that he had consumed a great deal of his spiritual energy, and his entire person appeared quite tired.
“Go, go take a look.”
Su Jing and King Wu Han rushed into the time formation and stayed inside for a few moments, then exited from the formation again.
After some projections, on the faces of both of them, a look of astonishment appeared.
“The time ratio is three to one.”King Wu Han recited in a low voice.
Su Jing raised his head, looked towards the sunrise in the sky, and laughed, “With three times the cultivation time, the cultivation of those juniors will surely be able to advance by leaps and bounds. Right now, even I, an old man, have a feeling of vigour, the situation of the Guanghan Realm is getting better step by step.”
Beside him, King Wu Han was silent and left alone.
After a short rest, Zhang Ruochen came to the underground space at the very bottom of the Extreme Bliss Earth Palace, and with that, he also set up a Time Formation on the banks of the Yin Pool and the Yang Pool.
The Yin Pool was the place where Mu Lingshi cultivated the power of Extreme Yin Underworld Ice.
The Yang Pool, on the other hand, was the place that Zhang Ruochen was going to use to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.
With the Time Array shrouded, the two of them would be able to have three times the cultivation time.
Zhang Ruochen carefully walked into into the Yang Pool, and immediately, a strong burning sensation immediately wrapped around his legs.
Vast Yang Qi rushed into his body from his pores and orifices, passing through his waist and abdomen, all the way to the top of his head.
“In the Yang Pool, a large amount of Yang Qi has been gathered, and it’s hotter than lava. Not only is it an excellent treasure for cultivating the eleventh palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, it can also be used to quench the body and cultivate the physical body.”Zhang Ruochen revealed a joyful expression.
From his spatial ring, he took out a Blood Life Pill and swallowed it into his mouth.
The Blood Life Pill, a top-grade Saint Pill, could only be purchased for hundreds of thousands of Saint Stones. For Saint Kings, it was also an unavailable treasure.
The key was that swallowing the Blood Life Pill could temper the cultivator’s physical body and enhance its strength.
For the next two months, Zhang Ruochen’s Spiritual Force Bilocation, together with Su Jing, went out early and came back late every day, befriending cultivators from all the major worlds, and setting up Time Arrays and Space Arrays for their dojos.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen would also collect a certain amount of remuneration fees.
Zhang Ruochen’s main body, on the other hand, stayed in the Moon God Dojo to cultivate.
He divided his time into four parts, a quarter of the time, staying inside the Yang Pool, tempering his flesh and refining the Blood Life Pill.
A quarter of the time, on the banks of the Yang Pool, cultivating the tenth gravity of the Luo Shui Fist Technique and the eleventh palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.
A quarter of the time, cultivating the Eight of Swords.
The remaining quarter of the time, with the Rule Emperor Artifact, to refer to the rules of the Holy Dao. Or go forward to the bottom of the Jade Tablet and refer to the Way of Truth diagrams left behind by the Moon God.
As for the third Six Desires Ancient Pill, it had long since been refined and absorbed by Zhang Ruochen, causing his spiritual power to rise some more. However, it did not reach the late stage of the fifty-sixth rank.
With spiritual strength reaching the fifty-sixth rank, it was an extremely difficult thing to raise it even a little bit upwards.
It was precisely because it was difficult that there were very few Great Saints of Spiritual Strength.
Although, only two months had passed in the outside world, with the aid of the Time Array and the Time Crystal Stone, Zhang Ruochen was equivalent to cultivating for half a year.
During this period of time, he had progressed tremendously.
Refining a total of seven Blood Life Pills, he was able to compete with a three-step Saint King just by virtue of his physical strength.
The tenth level of the Luo Water Fist Technique, the Grand Completion, was considered the first middle-ranked Saint Art that Zhang Ruochen had cultivated into.
The eleventh palm of the Dragon Image Prajna Palm, after continuous cultivation and polishing, Zhang Ruochen had reached the point of pure fire, with a solid foundation, only missing the final step to achieve great success.
Sword Eight, cultivated to the sixth level of the realm, was also just a little bit short of the last fire from the great circle. It was believed that with another month or two of cultivation, Zhang Ruochen would be able to condense the Sword Dao Xuan Gang and become a first-class Sword Dao powerhouse.
At the same time, the number of Truth Rules that Zhang Ruochen had comprehended reached two hundred and forty-seven.
The number of Sacred Dao Rules in his body, on the other hand, reached more than three thousand six hundred, and he should not be far from the second-step Sacred King realm.
It was worth mentioning that during this period, Mu Lingshi’s cultivation skyrocketed, reaching the one-step Saint King realm.
Since, having cultivated a mid-step Saint Art and the Way of Truth had also achieved something, the current Zhang Ruochen had no weaknesses or shortcomings, he was naturally prepared to go forward to cross the Sea of Truth and seize more Truth Upanishads.
Mu Lingshi travelled with Zhang Ruochen and left the Lunar God’s Dojo through a transmission array.
At a cloud boat ferry, Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingshi boarded a cloud boat and headed straight towards the Truth Divine Hall.
Zhang Ruochen already had a great reputation in the Truth Heavenly Domain. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he used the Formless and Phaseless Thirty-Six Changes to change his appearance, resembling a quiet scholar.
Mu Lingshi, on the other hand, wore a veil to cover her stunningly beautiful and moving face.
However, because she had obtained the inheritance of the Ice and Fire Phoenix, the Ice Phoenix Ancient Saint Body had fully awakened, and Mu Lingshi’s naturally spirited temperament, which resembled that of a Phoenix Heavenly Maiden, still attracted the gazes of many male cultivators.
Moreover, Mu Lingshi’s cultivation at the Saint King realm made her appear somewhat unattainable. The more so, the more attractive it was to the male cultivators.
On the cloud boat, there were a total of a dozen male cultivators, from all the major races, who would stare over at Mu Lingshi from time to time, as if they were guessing her identity, or as if they wanted to go up and strike up a conversation.
Mu Lingshi stood beside Zhang Ruochen, standing shoulder to shoulder with him, and asked in a somewhat puzzled manner, “There are very few Saint Kings in the Truth Heavenly Domain, is it true that it’s difficult to comprehend the Rules of Truth once one reaches the Saint King realm?”
Zhang Ruochen wore a smile on his face and was about to answer her.
At this moment, behind the two of them, a young man’s voice rang out, “Normally, it’s also slightly easier to comprehend the Rules of Truth after reaching the Saint King realm.”
“The main reason why Saint Kings in the Truth Heavenly Realm are so rare is because, the higher the cultivation level of the cultivator, the lower the assisting effect of the Truth Rules.”
“For example, if a Saint comprehends through the first visualisation diagram on the first level of the Truth Heavenly Domain and cultivates nine Truth Rules, he can explode with twice the power when he casts a Saint Art.”
“Participating through the second Conceptual Diagram and cultivating eighty-one Rules of Truth will allow the Holy Art to explode with three times its power.”
“However, a Saint King’s comprehension of the first Contemplation Diagram will not be able to increase the power of the Saint Art. Unless, one comprehends the second Conceptual Diagram, only then can the Sacred Art explode with twice its power.”
“For each quota, the time to cultivate at the Truth Divine Hall is only one month. Even for a Saint King, it’s not an easy task to comprehend through the first Conceptual Diagram, let alone the second one.”
“It is precisely for this reason that Saint Kings in the Truth Heavenly Domain are quite rare.”
“Of course, the benefits of the Way of Truth go far beyond increasing the power of a Saint Art, and are endlessly helpful to cultivators throughout their lives. It’s only because the Truth Divine Hall is only so big and can only provide so many slots and cultivation time, that’s why all the major worlds give all the slots to the celestials of the Saint Realm.”
Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingshi turned around at the same time, only to see that, opposite the two of them, there stood a young man with a handsome divine wind.
This person, tall and thin, exceptionally handsome, was not a human, with two pairs of white feathered wings on his back, holy light glistening on his skin, and his cultivation had actually reached the Saint King realm.
It was probably the cultivation of a second-step Saint King.
The words just now were spoken by him.
Seeing Mu Lingshi staring at him, that handsome man smiled rather gentlemanly and introduced himself, “In the Paradise Realm below, Lance White. May I ask which realm’s Phoenix Heavenly Maiden you are?”
When he said “Paradise Realm”, Lance White’s face clearly showed a self-complacent look, as if he was superior.
This was a kind of pride from the bottom of his heart.
