After leaving the Divine Sword Holy Land, Zhang Ruochen returned to the Martial City Stage Pavilion in the Seventh City District, unaware of what happened afterwards.
As he walked into the Martial City Stage Hall, suddenly, a group of people could be heard, and looking from afar, Zhang Ruochen saw that Zi Hansha and Snow Shadow Rou and the other genius trainees from the Southern Cloud County were actually staying in the Southern Pavilion Stage Hall as well.
At the moment, they were standing right in the centre of the vast martial arts field and were surveying the post house.
Among them, a genius cadet who was on the younger side of the age range said in awe, ”Wow! Worthy of being the stage hall of the Martial City Academy, it’s so grand!”
“The Eastern Region Sacred City is the true holy land of martial cultivation, I must enter the Sacred Academy and stay here forever, never going back!”
……
…………
Even among the talented students from Southern Cloud County, there were many who had come to the Eastern Domain Holy City for the first time.
They were stunned by the prosperity of this place, even if it was just a post house, it was comparable to a magnificent palace. Many of them aspired to put down roots here and become permanent residents of the Eastern Domain Sacred City.
It seemed that becoming a permanent resident of the Eastern Domain Sacred City was a supreme pride.
Zi Han Sha clasped his hands in front of his chest and stood proudly as he looked at those junior brothers and sisters who had not seen the world, a few hints of disdain appearing in his eyes as he said, ”If you want to stay permanently in the Eastern Domain Sacred City, unless you’re able to buy a mansion. As far as I know, even the cheapest mansion would require at least two million spirit crystals. As for the mansion in the seventh city district, even if you spend ten million spirit crystals, you may not be able to buy it.”
As an outstanding talent of a Half-Saint family, Zi Han Sha had once come to the Eastern Sacred City, so he had more or less some understanding of the Eastern Sacred City.
Hearing Zi Han Sha’s words, the fire in the hearts of those talented trainees, immediately, extinguished a large portion of it.
The price of a residence in the Eastern Domain Sacred City was too expensive, even if they worked hard for decades with their Heavenly Extreme Realm martial cultivation, they might not be able to afford it.
Moreover, even if they were able to earn enough millions of spirit crystals, they would still prefer to spend them on cultivation, so who would go out and purchase a mansion?
Therefore, with the strength of a Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist, wanting to purchase a mansion in the Eastern Domain Sacred City was almost a thing that was simply impossible.
Zi Han Sha glanced in Xue Ying Rou’s direction and said rather smugly, ”Our Zi family, being a Half-Saint family, has several family properties in the Eastern Domain Holy City. Before coming here, the family head had already sent word that as long as I could become a Saint of the Holy Academy, I would be able to obtain one of the mansions.”
Hearing these words, all of those talented trainees let out exclamations of awe and surrounded towards Zi Hansha, all of them flattering each other.
“Eldest Senior Brother is just awesome, worthy of being the heir of a Half-Saint family, we are too far from you.”
“In the future, in the Eastern Domain Sacred City, please take care of Eldest Senior Brother.”
……
Especially those genius female trainees, they were staring adoringly at Zi Han Sha, their hearts incomparably feeling that the Half-Saint Family was just profound, and that they even had power in the Eastern Domain Holy City.
On the contrary, Xue Ying Rou appeared very calm.
Ever since she saw Zhang Ruochen defeat Zi Han Sha, she had already been greatly disappointed in him. It was just a mere Half-Saint family, and in the Eastern Domain Sacred City, it was unknown how many such families there were.
At the very least, one would need to be an heir of a Saint Clan to be worthy of her, Xue Ying Rou.
Zhang Ruochen just took a glance from afar and shook his head as he walked through the gate and travelled in the direction of the Jade Toad Palace.
It was unknown who was the first to see Zhang Ruochen and said in a shocked voice, “Eldest Senior Brother, Senior Sister Xue, look, Zhang Ruochen is actually staying at this post house as well.”
The gazes of those genius trainees stared towards Zhang Ruochen, and many of them had a sneer in their eyes.
“To actually live in the same post house as that group of dirtbags from the Heavenly Demon Ridge, really dropping his status.”Zi Han Sha’s mind thought so, putting away the smile on his face as a cold snort escaped his mouth.
Snow Shadow Rou frowned slightly, and there were a few indescribable feelings in her heart as well, towards Zhang Ruochen, it couldn’t be said that she hated him, only that she was quite disappointed.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t bother to pay attention to them and walked through the martial arts field, returning to his room.
“Continue cultivating, and strive to break through to the late stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm sooner.”
Zhang Ruochen entered the inner space of the Space-Time Crystal Stone and sat in the centre, clearing his mind of distracting thoughts as he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and operated his gong method, fully absorbing the Holy Dragon Force from the Dragon Pearl.
In the Divine Sword Holy Land, although, Zhang Ruochen and Lu Flipping Tian had only exchanged a single move, he could clearly feel the powerful force contained in Lu Flipping Tian’s body.
“Lu Flipping Tian’s cultivation should have already reached the Heavenly Extremity Realm’s Middle Extremity Position, three realms higher than me. If I don’t use the power of my Martial Soul and Spiritual Force, I will definitely lose if I fight him.”
The powerful Martial Soul and Spiritual Force were Zhang Ruochen’s important cards, but as the heir to the Divine Sword Sacred Ground, did Lu Flipping Heaven not have any cards?
Therefore, when it came to a real battle, Zhang Ruochen did not have the slightest certainty of defeating Lu Flipping Tian.
Right now, it was imperative to raise his cultivation as soon as possible, and only when he broke through to the late stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm would his strength rise to the next level. It was only when he fought with the Eastern Region’s Heavenly Pride that he would be more certain.
In the Qi Sea, there were more than 5,000 drops of cyan-coloured true essence suspended in the air, like a sky full of stars, emitting a flickering light.
On the walls of the qi sea, a deity seal emerged, some with a human dragon head, some with a human snake tail, and some with three heads and six arms ……
As the gong method operated, each deity imprint looked like it had come to life, transforming into a deity silhouette and integrating into the true essence.
For every drop of true essence, it was integrated into a deity’s shadow.
From afar, it looked like a deity was suspended inside a bubble, emitting a divine light.
“Taiyi Qingxu Heaven.”
Zhang Ruochen operated the fourth layer of the Nine Heavenly Bright Emperor Sutra, and in his Qi Sea, a vortex was formed, causing a drop of true essence to spin up rapidly.
Instantly, the speed at which the Blood Spirit Vein absorbed the power of the Sacred Dragon increased by two times.
After twenty days, the true essence in Zhang Ruochen’s Qi Sea reached 9,700 drops, which was quite close to 10,000 drops.
If Zhang Ruochen was given three more days, Zhang Ruochen was confident that he could impact the late stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm in one go.
It was a pity that today was the time for the first round of the Holy Academy’s examination, so Zhang Ruochen had to stop his cultivation and step out of the inner space of the Space-Time Crystal Stone.
Twenty days in the Space-Time Crystal Stone, and only six or seven days had passed in the outside world.
Early in the morning, the air was slightly chilly, with wisps of white mist drifting, and through the veil of mist, one could vaguely see the vermilion coloured flying eaves and glazed tiles in the distance.
Duanmu Xingling, Si Xingkong, and Chang Qiqi, had already waited outside, wearing neat silver-coloured martial arts robes, looking refreshed.
When they saw Zhang Ruochen walk out, everyone’s eyes immediately lit up.
Even Lei Jing, who had a high level of cultivation, stared Avray at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Zhang Ruochen, another breakthrough in your cultivation?”
Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation, although he had not made a breakthrough, the true essence in his body had become even more subtle and astonishing due to the integration of the Seal of the Gods.
Every drop of true essence was like a god.
It was because of this reason that they felt strange, thinking that Zhang Ruochen had broken through the realm again.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen’s strength had indeed risen a notch.
Zhang Ruochen laughed and said, “It hasn’t been long since I broke through to the middle stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm, how can I break through to the late stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm that quickly?”
Hearing this, both Si Xingkong and Chang Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.
Chang Qi Qi patted her chest and said, “Scared me to death! Luckily you didn’t break through, otherwise it would have been too devastating! I’ve been working hard to refine dragon blood lately, and I’ve only been able to cultivate 1,800 drops of True Essence so far.”
