The Demi-Saint Bone Bead, refined from an entire Demi-Saint skeleton, appeared to be only the size of a pigeon’s egg, but weighed more than a thousand jin.
“A Half Saint’s bone is ten times heavier than an ordinary person’s bone, harder than metaphysical iron, and contains energy that is unknown to be as powerful as it is.”
The realm of a Half Saint was very mysterious and made people look up to it.
Zhang Ruochen mobilised his True Qi and injected it into the Half Saint Bone Bead.
On the surface of the bone bead, white light patterns emerged.
With a swoosh.
The Semi-Saint Bone Bead emitted ten thousand feet of light, and within the holy light, a ten-meter tall Semi-Saint silhouette was presented, as if Zhang Ruochen had been given a layer of light and shadow armour.
“Worthy of being an heir of a Saint Family, the protective treasures carried on his body are so powerful that even though they are not Saint Weapons, they are already considered the topmost defensive treasures under Saint Weapons.”
Zhang Ruochen withdrew his True Qi and placed the Semi-Saint Bone Bead into his bosom, it might come in handy when he encountered danger in the future.
After rummaging around for a few moments, Zhang Ruochen found three bottles of pills from Xu Qing’s body, all of which were fifth-grade pills and could be considered quite precious.
There was also a cultivation technique, the Kun Peng Martial Codex, recorded on top of a jade scroll, the text was extremely tiny, only by applying true qi to both eyes could one read the 30,000 words engraved on it.
The Kun Peng Martial Code was the supreme martial code of the Xu Sheng Sect, reaching the lower grade of the King Grade, on which was recorded the mystery of becoming a Saint.
Only the first person of each generation of the Xu Sheng Sect Valve was qualified to cultivate it.
Of course, only the first three layers of the Kun Peng Martial Codex were recorded above the jade book, and Xu Qing had only just begun to comprehend it now, and would only formally begin cultivating it after reaching the Fish Dragon Realm.
“The Xu Sheng Sect Valve, worthy of being a Ten Thousand Years Sacred Sect, actually has a king-level secret book.”Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “Just the first three layers of the Kun Peng Martial Codex can already make those Fish Dragon Realm cultivators fight to the death to grab it.”
Although Zhang Ruochen didn’t need to cultivate the Kun Peng Martial Codex, he could flip through it and learn from it, absorbing the essence of the martial dao within it, laying the foundation for his future impact on the Sacred Dao.
Subsequently, Zhang Ruochen found a Xuan Iron Box on Xu Qing’s body.
The Xuan Iron Box, almost the size of a fist, was quite heavy, and at the point where the lid and the body of the box met, it was sealed by an inscription, obviously containing something quite important.
“Wow!”
Zhang Ruochen opened the Xuan Iron Box by a slit.
Immediately, a golden light poured out from the slit, emitting a strong medicinal fragrance.
Only to see, a Divine Ganoderma, which was as if it was cast in gold, lay at the bottom of the box, and a piercing light emanated from its body.
“Golden Divine Ganoderma.”
Zhang Ruochen’s heart rejoiced, another one of the five great spiritual treasures.
That one Golden Godly Ganoderma was missing a corner, roughly taking up a quarter of the entire Godly Ganoderma, and should have been taken by Xu Qing.
The remaining Golden Divine Chi should be enough for Zhang Ruochen to use to cultivate the Golden Spirit Treasure Body.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen hadn’t even succeeded in cultivating the Water Spirit Treasure Body yet, so for the time being, he didn’t intend to refine the Golden Divine Chi.
After clearing away the corpses of Xu Qing and Xu Jiali, Zhang Ruochen took out the Kun Peng Martial Codex and began to study it, hoping to be able to realise some of the essence of martial arts on it.
……
At midday, the blazing sun was like a golden furnace, baking the earth.
On the official road, a group of cultivators wearing green-coloured mage robes were riding thirteen savage beasts and driving thirteen chariots, forming a powerful sound wave as they rushed towards the Evil Wood Palace’s headquarters.
Among them, one of the frontmost chariots was very flashy, with a precious golden silk sycamore wood made into a yoke and a green and gold woven battle flag hanging.
Under the pull of a fourth-order top-grade savage bird, the Snow-Headed Eagle, the chariot, nine feet off the ground, flew rapidly.
In the middle of the thirteen chariots, there was an iron bone prison car wrapped in a formation.
In the centre of the prison wagon, sitting on a plate was a beautiful woman with long blue hair, precisely Huang Yichen.
Despite being captured, Huang Yichen still appeared very calm, closing a pair of beautiful eyes as she silently operated her true qi.
Wisps of dragon shaped true qi were swallowed and spat out in her body.
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, followed the side of the prison car, with a beard on his chin, a dry and thin figure, and a pair of lewd eyes, glanced towards Huang Yichen in the prison car, revealing a lewd. Evil light.
He said, “Eldest senior brother, not only does this woman look like a heavenly immortal, her battle power is really powerful, if it wasn’t for the master’s hand, I’m afraid no one would be able to suppress her.”
That one Eldest Senior Brother, a man wearing a green-coloured mage’s robe, held a crystal divine staff, and appeared to be powerful. Only a few silver hairs grew at the location of his temples, making him look rather vicissitudes.
The one from the Evil Wood Palace, the Eldest Senior Brother, said in a cold voice, “Old Eight, you’d better not hit on her, she’s the woman that Lord Xu Qing has his eye on, if you dare to touch her, I’m afraid you’ll lose your life.”
Old Eight sighed, “Such a beautiful fairy, if I can sleep with her, it would be worth it even if I die.”
Immediately, Old Eighth’s eyes turned and said, “Eldest Brother, are those Heavenly Evil Demons really that powerful? Even our Evil Wood Palace can only submit to them?”
Eldest Senior Brother said, “The Xu Sheng Sect Valve that Lord Xu Qing belongs to is said to possess more than one Saint Mage level existence, submitting to them will only benefit our Evil Wood Palace. Borrowing their power, in the future, our Evil Wood Palace will definitely be able to rule the entire Five Elements Continent, and the Sacred Fire Temple, Sacred Earth Temple, and Sacred Water Temple will all tremble under our feet.”
When he thought of Saint-level mages, a look of awe appeared in Old Eight’s eyes.
One must know that after 1,800 years of the Evil Wood Palace’s creation, only one Saint-level mage had been born.
For the Xu Sheng Sect, to actually possess several powerhouses of that level, just thinking about it made one feel awe.
Suddenly, that prison carriage shook violently.
Sitting in the centre of the prison wagon, Huang Yichen had already recovered from her injuries, and a pair of sapphire-like eyes opened up, immediately pulling off a white jade hairpin inserted in her head and pinching it between her two fingers.
Looking closely, the white jade hairpin was actually a small sword with a peculiar shape.
As the true qi surged into the white jade hairpin, the light skyrocketed, and in the jade hairpin, a sword roar resounded, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a two-metre long jade light long sword.
This was a holy sword, which was given to her by Huang Yichen’s mother, allowing her to use it only in the time of greatest crisis.
Earlier, before Huang Yichen had the chance to use the holy sword, she had been struck by a king of mages from the Evil Wood Hall, who had seriously injured her, and had taken away the ninth-ranked True Martial Treasure level battle sword she was wearing.
“Wow!”
Huang Yichen waved his hand and chopped, forming a wave of powerful sword qi that split the prison wagon in half.
“Ow!”
A dragon’s roar resounded from within Huang Yichen’s body.
She rushed out of the prison car and executed the Wind-Resisting Flying Dragon Shadow, instantly surpassing the speed of sound and fleeing into the distance.
“Not good, she escaped!”
At the first opportunity, that one Eldest Brother and Old Eighth mobilised their mana and chased after Huang Yichen.
At the same time, within the chariot that flew at the very front, a thunderous bellowing cry was emitted, and an old man with a full head of black hair rushed out from the top of the chariot.
He was one of the four Mage Kings of the Evil Wood Palace, named the Greenwood Mage King, already a hundred and twenty years old, with unrivalled depth of magical power.
“Heavenly Wood Spear.”
The Greenwood Dharma King pointed his Crystal God Staff forward, mobilising the wood-attribute aura to condense hundreds of spears, turning them into a rain of spears, with ten thousand arrows piercing through the heart as they flew towards Huang Yichen.
“That old monster’s reaction is so fast.”
Although Huang Yichen was in possession of the Holy Sword, her martial cultivation was only at the late stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm, and the true essence in her sea of qi wasn’t thick enough, so at most, she could only use the Holy Sword two or three times.
Therefore, she had to escape as fast as she could.
“Swish swish!”
Just as the piece of spears, flew behind her.
Huang Yichen’s delicate body twisted and immediately turned around, erupting with the might of a Saint Weapon and waving her sword, shattering all of that piece of spears into wood shavings.
This sword had also drained most of the true essence from her body, and if she were to use a third sword, she was afraid that she would not even need the Evil Wood Palace’s mages to make a move, and she herself would already have exhausted her true essence.
After executing this sword, Huang Yichen immediately turned around and fled as fast as she could.
“Escape, escape, must escape!”
“Xu Qing is also too bold, he actually dares to unite with the evil people of the Five Elements Market Realm to deal with me, when I return to the Kunlun Realm, I will definitely make him pay a heavy price.”
Huang Yichen’s eyes were as cold as frost, carrying a hidden murderous aura.
Dharma King Qing Mu was slightly stunned and said to himself, “So powerful, could this be her true strength? No, it’s that one sword. That one sword, I’m afraid it is a Saint Artifact.”
In the eyes of Dharma King Qing Mu, a greedy light appeared, and he immediately chased after Huang Yichen, no matter what, he had to seize that sword of hers.
“Oh no! That old guy is catching up!”
Huang Yichen looked back, only to see that the Greenwood Dharma King was chasing closely behind, and the distance between him and her, was getting closer and closer.
Moreover, those experts from the Evil Wood Palace were also chasing after her, with more than a dozen of them being comparable to Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artists.
What should be done?
Was she destined to die in the Five Elements Market Realm?
Huang Yichen pursed his lips tightly, very unwilling, and revolved his true qi to the extreme, continuing to escape.
Never give up until the last moment.
If he really couldn’t escape, even if he ended his own life, he definitely couldn’t fall into their hands.
Huang Yichen’s character was tough and was already prepared to commit suicide.
The sound of water flowing came from the front, a hundred feet away, there was actually a large river.
At the edge of the large river, stood a black ape with a huge body.
On its body, it emitted an aura that was quite astonishing, transforming into a piece of demonic aura that hovered above its head, almost like a Taikoo demonic ape.
Huang Yichen was first startled that there was such a powerful savage beast in the Five Elements Market Realm?
Then, with her gaze, she noticed the shoulders of the giant ape, and on the shoulders, sat a young man, holding a volume of jade books in his hands, reading carefully.
“Why is he here?”
Huang Yichen’s pair of eyes widened and froze, unexpectedly forgetting to continue running for her life.
