“Finally cultivated to a small level.”
Zhang Ruochen was quite elated and was still very satisfied with the power of the Solar Pulse Sword Wave.
A single sword wave was enough to break a Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artist’s protective heavenly astral body.
As his cultivation deepened, the power of the Solar Pulse Sword Wave would be even stronger.
The Ten Chakra Sword Wave, although it was only a Spirit Grade Upper Grade Martial Skill, once all ten chakras were cultivated to great success, it would be able to reach the power of a Ghost Grade Lower Grade Martial Skill.
Of course, if one wanted to cultivate all ten chakras to great success, the difficulty involved would be no less than cultivating ten Spirit Grade Upper Grade martial arts.
“Zhang Ruochen, what are you up to?”
Huang Yichen was a little exasperated, and walked over from the other end of the hole in the wall, looking at the damaged wall, a pair of eyebrows stood up as he carried his battle sword and rushed towards Zhang Ruochen with fury.
Seeing Huang Yichen, Zhang Ruochen suddenly realised that Huang Yichen’s cultivation mansion was right next door to his. The sword wave just now, which pierced through the defensive array inscriptions on the wall, had presumably struck into Huang Yichen’s cultivation mansion.
He didn’t know how damaged Huang Yichen’s cultivation residence was.
“Master.”
Kong Xuan immediately rushed over and stopped in front of Zhang Ruochen, staring hostilely at Huang Yichen.
Regardless of whoever dared to disadvantage his master, Kong Xuan would definitely rush to the forefront and help his master clear the enemies in front of him.
The Yellow Smoke Dust that rushed over in anger was, in Kong Xuan’s eyes, an enemy that was a threat to his master.
Zhang Ruochen gently waved his hand and said, “Kong Xuan, retreat first, there is no business for you here.”
“Yes, master.”
Kong Xuan retreated behind Zhang Ruochen, still staring at Huang Yicun with guarded eyes.
Huang Yichen coldly stared at Kong Xuan, having some image of Kong Xuan, who seemed to be a maid bought by Zhang Ruochen.
How Huang Yichen looked at Kong Xuan, he crossed his sword and said: ”Impressive! A mere servant girl dares to call out to this county princess, so lawless now, how can it be in the future? Zhang Ruochen, if you can’t control it, I’ll do it for you.”
Kong Xuan glared with cold eyes, his aura not losing to Huang Yichen in the slightest.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Senior Sister, why do you need to be so familiar with her? Just now, I was cultivating a martial art and I had no intention of damaging Senior Sister’s cultivation mansion, so if Senior Sister needs to pay compensation, by all means set a price.”
“Compensation is not necessary, this county princess is still short of your few silver coins?” Huang Yunchen said, “If you compensate me for that one maid, this matter, I won’t pursue it!”
Hearing this, Kong Xuan, who was originally very imposing, immediately revealed a worried look, fearing that Zhang Ruochen would really send her out.
If Zhang Ruochen really gave her away to Huang Yichen, in the future, would there be any good days for her?
“Master ……”
Kong Xuan’s eyes were somewhat pitiful as she stared at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen laughed and said, “Senior sister, you are a county princess of a superior county, why do you need to compete with a maid?”
Huang Yichen capriciously said, “Are you going to compensate me or not?”
Zhang Ruochen shook.
“Hmph!”
Huang Yichen snorted coldly and stabbed out with his sword.
Zhang Ruochen’s hand was as if it had transformed into a phantom, and with just two fingers, he clamped Huang Yichen’s sword, making it impossible for Huang Yichen to exert any force.
“Zhang Ruochen, count yourself ruthless. If I had known that I should have cleaved you with a sword when your cultivation hadn’t grown, I wouldn’t have kept you until now to piss me off.”
Huang Yichen gritted a mouthful of snow-white teeth as he put his sword away, cold stars emerging from his eyes as he said, “Zhang Ruochen, what kind of Gai Shi Divine Skill have you cultivated again? The power of that earlier strike is feared to have been comparable to the full force of a mid Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artist.”
Zhang Ruochen withdrew his fingers and gently moved his knuckles as he said indifferently, “It’s just a sword wave, it’s not a remarkable martial art.”
“Forget it if you don’t say it!”
Huang Yichen was not lacking in profound martial arts secrets, and since Zhang Ruochen didn’t say anything, she didn’t bother to continue asking.
She glanced fiercely at Kong Xuan again, her pair of pink fists tightly squeezed, and she coldly hummed, “I have recently cultivated the ‘Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow’ to a great completion in the Hurricane Cultivation Chamber, and I’m preparing to go and break into the Nine Extremities Pagoda, do you want to go together?”
“Senior Sister has already cultivated the ‘Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow’ to a great success?” Zhang Ruochen was a little surprised.
The Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow was a Spirit Grade Upper Grade martial art.
The reason why Zhang Ruochen was able to cultivate it quickly and successfully was because he had once cultivated this martial skill and knew the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow quite well, so recultivating it naturally made it twice as easy.
It was only when Huang Yichen was able to cultivate the Wind-Resisting Flying Dragon Shadow to a grand completion in just over a year’s time that it was truly unbelievable.
One must know that she didn’t have any foundation.
Unless …… she had an extremely high level of enlightenment.
Huang Yichen grunted coldly, ”You don’t have a wind attribute physique, and you’ve already cultivated the Wind-Guarding Flying Dragon Shadow to great success. I have a wind attribute physique, so what’s so strange about cultivating the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow to great success? Are you going or not?”
Zhang Ruochen gently shook his head and said, “I have to continue to cultivate my martial arts, so I won’t go for now!”
The Nine Extinction Tower was actually a place to test a martial artist’s strength.
The so-called Several Extreme Geniuses was to see how many layers of the tower you could break through?
Generally speaking, most of the martial artists who were able to break through the first level of the Nine Extremities Tower were able to fight across a realm.
Martial artists who had broken through the second layer of the Nine Extremities Tower were basically able to fight across two realms. By analogy, martial artists who had broken through the ninth level of the Nine Extremities Tower could, theoretically, cross nine realms and defeat their opponents.
Those other martial artists were all eager for the Nine Extremities Tower, wanting to become famous by breaking through the Nine Extremities Tower.
For example, the Ten Heavenly Demon Xiu, they were the ones who had broken through the third level of the Nine Extremities Tower, thus becoming famous throughout the world, and were known by the martial artists of the entire thirty-six counties of the Heavenly Demon Ridge.
However, in Zhang Ruochen’s opinion, the Nine Extinction Tower did not have much significance.
Although the Nine Jedi Tower did have a certain relationship with talent, it was more in the battle weapon that the martial artist used and the martial skill that they cultivated.
Even for martial artists with the same strength, if they used different levels of battle weapons, the results of the final test would be different.
Moreover, as the realm became higher, the significance of the Nine Extinction Tower became weaker.
For example, the Martial City Palace had done statistics: of the martial artists who were able to become Heavenly Extremity Realm, 60% of them were 1st Jedi geniuses and 20% were 2nd Jedi geniuses.
Another example, to be able to become a Half-Saint, almost ninety-nine per cent of them were geniuses of the Third Jedi or above, and there were even a lot of Fourth Jedi geniuses and Fifth Jedi geniuses.
(Not to say that if one becomes a Three Jedi genius, one has a high hope of becoming a Half Saint, in fact, ninety per cent of Three Jedi geniuses do not reach the realm of a Half Saint. Among the Ten Heavenly Demon Shows, it would already be very good if one of them could reach the Half-Saint realm in the future.)
Therefore, to reach the Half-Saint realm, even if you were the legendary Seven Jedi Genius, it would be impossible to fight across seven realms. Because, almost all of the martial artists who were able to become Half-Saints possessed the strength to fight across several realms.
The higher the realm, the harder it was to cross realms. The significance of the Nine Jedi Tower would also be weaker.
Since it was of little significance, why bother wasting time?
While Huang Yichen travelled to the Nine Extinction Tower, Zhang Ruochen went to the Merit Tower and used the Merit Value to exchange six bottles of Third Grade Healing Pills, sixty in total, costing three thousand Merit Points.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen spent another ten thousand merit points to purchase ten fifth grade body refining pills, Bone Tempering and Tendon Refining Pills.
With the purchased pills, Zhang Ruochen once again came to Tong Sheng Mountain and entered the Earth Grade Gravity Cultivation Chamber for the second time, continuing to cultivate the fifth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.
Nine Stacks of Elephant Power.
It was still a twenty times gravity environment, Zhang Ruochen transported his entire body’s qi and blood and continuously struck out a palm seal.
After seven days of recuperation, Zhang Ruochen’s physical body had recovered to its peak state again and could support high intensity cultivation.
“Boom Boom!”
After striking out 2,500 palm prints in a row, Zhang Ruochen’s arms and hands were once again severely injured, almost half-ruined, and he had to stop and take a Healing Pill and a Bone-Quenching and Refining Pill, recovering from his injuries while quenching his muscles and bones at the same time.
The Bone Tempering and Refining Pill was a fifth grade body refining pill, and even in the Martial City Palace, it would cost a thousand points of merit value to exchange for one.
If it was outside, the price would be twice as expensive, and it would cost at least two million silver coins to buy one.
The value of one was comparable to the total assets of an eighth-rate family.
Even for an average Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist, a Bone Hardening and Tendon Refining Pill was a rather precious treasure.
Taking the Bone Quenching and Tendon Refining Pill at the same time while cultivating palm techniques would allow the flesh to absorb the power of the pill more completely, thus enhancing Zhang Ruochen’s flesh strength.
Zhang Ruochen was going to impact the Supreme Extreme Realm of the Earth Extreme Realm, not only did he just need to have profound power, his physical body physique also needed to be absolutely strong in order to explode with enough power and speed.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current pure physical body strength, it was already on par with a martial artist at the early stage of the Heavenly Extreme Realm.
If he was able to refine those ten Bone Quenching and Tendon Refining Pills, Zhang Ruochen’s pure physical body strength would surpass his original realm and reach an even higher level.
After the injuries on his arms were healed, Zhang Ruochen began to cultivate his palm techniques again.
Half a month passed quickly, the healing pills that Zhang Ruochen had purchased had been exhausted, and the ten Bone Quenching and Tendon Refining Pills had all been refined.
Zhang Ruochen’s flesh strength was far beyond what it used to be, and he was able to strike 10,000 palm prints in one go before he was forced to stop and heal his injuries.
Above the palm techniques, Zhang Ruochen had made great progress again, even under twenty times gravity, he was able to strike three palms at the same time, exploding with three times the palm force.
After leaving the Tong Sheng Mountain, Zhang Ruochen did not immediately return to his cultivation mansion, but instead headed to the Silver-robed Elder’s Pavilion to meet with Lei Jing.
Everyone now knew that Zhang Ruochen was Lei Jing’s secret disciple, so there was no obstruction and Zhang Ruochen easily met Lei Jing.
Zhang Ruochen arched his hand and bowed, saying, “Pavilion Master, I’m going to the ‘Earth Ranking Test Palace’ to test how many places on the Earth Ranking I can rank with my current power?”
“If you want to go to the 『Earth Ranking』 Test Palace, just go there directly, why do you have to come to report to me?” Lei Jing asked.
Zhang Ruochen said, “I just want to test my ranking in the 『Earth Rankings』, but yet, I don’t want to record my results in the 『Earth Rankings』 so early.”
Lei Jing smiled faintly, understanding Zhang Ruochen’s intention.
Zhang Ruochen wanted to test his current position on the Earth Ranking, but did not want to expose his strength too early, which was why he had come to ask for his help.
Lei Jing’s eyes narrowed as he said, “If I’m not mistaken, you’re only at the Earth Extremity Realm’s Middle Extremity cultivation now, so you shouldn’t be able to enter the top 1,000 positions on the Earth Ranking yet.”
“That may not be the case.” Zhang Ruochen said.
“Good! If you can really charge into the top 1,000 of the Earth Ranking with a cultivation at the middle extreme level of the Earth Extremity Realm, then when you reach the Great Perfection of the Earth Extremity Realm, you will definitely be able to charge into the top 100 of the Earth Ranking. Let’s put it this way! If you charge into the top one thousand positions of the Earth Ranking, old me will give you one treasured treasure to help you charge into the Earth Extremity Realm Great Extremity Position.” Lei Jing said.
The thing that Lei Jing gifted could not be a mortal object?
Zhang Ruochen’s heart was overjoyed as he said, “Student will definitely live up to Pavilion Master’s expectations.”
