Chang Qi Qi sighed, “With my current realm, if I want to break through to the Heavenly Extremity Realm Minor Extremity Position, I don’t know how long it will take.”
Si Xingkong patted Chang Qi Qi’s shoulder, smiled, and said, “I have a premonition that within a month, I will be able to impact the Dao of the Heavenly Extremity Realm Small Extremity Position.”
“Eldest Senior Brother, can you not strike me down? I feel that even if I am given another two years, it will be very difficult to break through to the Heavenly Extremity Realm Minor Extremity Position.”Chang Qi Qi said somewhat deflated.
Huang Yichen appeared neither sad nor happy, still cold as ice, saying, “The Black Water Glazed Crystal is indeed an extraordinary treasure, if you can refine ten jin, you might be able to cultivate into the legendary Water Spirit Treasure Body. Such a treasure, if it were to appear in the Kunlun Realm, even those Saint Sectors would spend a great deal of effort to fight for it.”
The birth of a single Treasure Body was also a joyous event for the Saint Valves.
If ten Treasure Bodies, or even dozens of Treasure Bodies, could be created in one go, and when they grew up, then a Saint Valve would definitely prosper for an era.
Zhang Ruochen said, ”As long as you all cultivate hard, you will definitely all be able to cultivate into Water Spirit Treasure Bodies in the future. Of course, we must now discuss the matter of attacking the Evil Wood Palace, and if we succeed, we will be able to obtain the Violet Cloud Sinking Scented Wood. In the future, we might even be able to cultivate into a Wood Spirit Treasure Body.”
“If the Wood Spirit Treasure Body and Water Spirit Treasure Body are successfully cultivated together, wouldn’t that be a Dual Spirit Treasure Body?”Chang Qi Qi exclaimed.
Huang Yichen blankly glanced at him and said, “Although the Dual Spirit Treasure Body is much more powerful than the simple Water Spirit Treasure Body, the difficulty of cultivating it has increased by several folds, and even those with extraordinary talent may not be able to successfully cultivate it.”
The rest of them nodded along.
“The Evil Wood Palace is full of experts, and there are formations left behind by the Half-Saints, so I’m afraid it won’t be an easy task to break through.”Si Xingkong was a little worried.
Si Xingkong’s spiritual power was also very powerful, having already reached the thirty-first stage, so he had learnt the language very quickly, and could already simply communicate with the indigenous humans of the Five Elements Market Realm.
He had also inquired about it, and thus knew that Evil Wood Palace had once given birth to a Half-Saint, leaving behind the Mountain Protecting Sacred Formation.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and spoke of the setup he had already laid out.
Hearing Zhang Ruochen’s words, everyone’s eyes lit up.
“In other words, at this time, the Divine Wreckage Dharma King should have already rushed to Crescent Moon City and was not at Evil Wood Palace. Now is indeed the best time to attack Evil Wood Palace, we might be able to find a lot of good things.”
Chang Qi Qi licked her lips, revealing a look of eagerness.
Si Xingkong said, “Even if we lure away the Divine Wreckage Dharma King, there is still a Sacred Formation in the Evil Wood Palace, so I’m afraid that if we forcefully attack, we will suffer heavy losses.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “It’s not difficult to break the Sacred Formation, leave it to me. You guys wait for my signal, as long as the signal comes out, immediately kill the Evil Wood Palace, not only the military merit value, even the treasures of the Evil Wood Palace can be taken at will.”
After Zhang Ruochen left, Chang Qi Qi and Si Xingkong immediately went to gather the cadets in Wind Spirit City.
Those trainees, hearing that Zhang Ruochen would personally participate in the attack on the Evil Wood Palace, all of them got excited, their blood boiling and their fists rubbing their hands.
One must know that Zhang Ruochen was one of the six kings of the new generation, known as the “Successor of the Buddha Emperor”, would he do something he wasn’t sure of?
Would he do anything he wasn’t sure of? If he followed a New Generation King, would he be afraid of not having any meat to eat?
It wasn’t just Chang Qiqi and Si Xingkong who gathered the first fifteen students, but after hearing the news, more people joined in, and the group continued to grow.
By the time they arrived at the Split Yin Mountain where the Evil Wood Palace was located, the group led by Si Xingkong and Chang Qi Qi had reached over forty people, each of whom was an expert of the Heavenly Extreme Realm.
Zhang Ruochen sat on the shoulder of the Demonic Ape, holding a Crystal Divine Staff, and was clad in a black cloak with a hood that extended from his shoulders to the top of his head, covering his face and revealing only a tawny, pale chin.
Even the aura of his body changed, becoming much more sinister, trying to mimic the appearance of Archmage Ryuzawa as much as possible.
The Evil Wood Palace’s Ashen Dharma King had once personally travelled to the Demon Ape Ridge, wanting to draw in Archmage Longze, hoping that Archmage Longze would become a guest elder of the Evil Wood Palace.
At that time, Archmage Longze refused!
Right now, Zhang Ruochen was planning to pretend to be Archmage Longze and come to join the Evil Wood Palace, and as long as he was able to enter the gates of the Evil Wood Palace, the first thing he was going to do was to destroy the Sacred Formation.
Once the Sacred Formation was broken, the Evil Wood Palace would be like a big part of it was destroyed.
At the same time, he also had to probe the situation clearly in advance to confirm if the Divine Wreckage Dharma King had really left the Evil Wood Palace?
Only if the Divine Wreckage Dharma King was really not in the Evil Wood Palace could he launch an attack on the Evil Wood Palace, otherwise, he could only change his plan and rearrange it.
At night, the air in the Split Yin Mountain became abnormally cold.
After Divine Skeleton Dharma King and Nie Wenlong left, Evil Wood Palace entered a state of tight defence, and under the auspices of Ashen Dharma King, the sacred formation set up by the Ancestor was turned on, wrapping the entire Split Yin Mountain in the formation.
“Giggle!”
A black eagle flapped its feathered wings and flew across the sky, and suddenly, it was as if it had crashed on top of an invisible barrier.
The light of the formation erupted out and struck the body of the black eagle, splitting that one black eagle into flying dust.
It looked like a savage bird that had accidentally crashed into the top of a holy formation and lost its life!
Zhang Ruochen glanced in the direction where the light of the formation had just flashed, his eyes narrowed, and he muttered to himself, “Worthy of being a formation set up by a Half-Saint, even if a strong person of the Sixth Transformation of the Fish Dragon went to break into it, it would probably be a dead end.”
Subsequently, Zhang Ruochen drove a few more savage birds and crashed them on top of the formation in the mountain, testing the strength and weakness of the formation’s rows and thus searching for a gap to break the formation.
After nine trials in a row, Zhang Ruochen finally nodded, having found the eye of the Holy Formation, as long as the eye was destroyed, the Holy Formation would not be broken.
Of course, in order to destroy the eye of the formation, one must first enter the Sacred Formation.
“It’s time to depart!”
After a long time, Zhang Ruochen harnessed the Demonic Ape and arrived outside the Evil Wood Palace’s mountain gate.
The mages guarding the mountain gate, seeing a fierce and intimidating demonic ape, walking over, all of them were shocked and stepped back.
Among them, one of the bolder mages rebuked, ”What kind of person? This place is the Evil Wood Palace, you …… If you dare to break into the mountain, you will be crushed by the Holy Formation.”
Zhang Ruochen pulled his hood down a little more, covering his face completely, and holding his crystal staff, he pointed in the direction of the Evil Wood Palace’s mountain gate.
“Wow!”
The Black Water Glazed Crystal embedded at the top of the crystal staff transformed water-attributed mana, forming an ice spike that flew out.
Suddenly, the ice thorn collided with the holy formation and stopped in the void.
With a pop, the ice thorn shattered and turned into a wisp of water mist.
Zhang Ruochen mimicked Archmage Long Ze’s voice and gave a hoarse dry laugh, “To actually open the Sacred Formation for real, could it be that your Evil Wood Palace has encountered some kind of trouble?”
Those Venerable Masters guarding the mountain gate were a bit startled, and someone had already rushed to report to Dharma King Aso, who was sitting in the Evil Wood Palace.
In the Evil Wood Palace, an agitation rang out.
The experts in the palace rushed out one after another, holding divine staffs and staring intently at Zhang Ruochen and the Demonic Ape in the distance.
“Who the hell are you?”
An Archmage whose cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Extremity Realm inquired, and when he saw that Zhang Ruochen didn’t answer him, a cold colour appeared in his eyes, and he was about to rush out of the Sacred Formation to go and fight with Zhang Ruochen.
“Stop.”
Asheng Dharma King descended from the sky and stopped that one Archmage, his gaze looking towards Zhang Ruochen in the distance, and asked tentatively, “Could it be that Brother Longze is travelling to Evilwood Palace?”
Dharma King Aso had once personally gone to the Demon Ape Ridge to invite Archmage Longze, so he was quite familiar with Archmage Longze’s aura.
Moreover, the power of this Demon Ape in front of him was very strong, his whole body seemed to contain the power to open mountains and crack the earth, and there was only one Demon Ape with such a cultivation level in the entire Five Elements Continent.
The person sitting on its shoulder, besides Archmage Long Ze, who else could it be?
In fact, the mages of the Five Elements Continent only knew that there was a powerful Demon Ape in the Demon Ape Ridge, and didn’t know that Archmage Longze was its servant. Instead, many people thought that the Demonic Ape was a captive warbeast of Archmage Longze.
Even the Ashen Dharma King thought so.
Hearing the words of the Ashen Dharma King, all those Dharma Masters from the Evil Wood Palace were stunned.
“What? He is the owner of the Demon Ape Ridge, Archmage Longze?”
“It is said that Archmage Longze’s cultivation is quite profound, and he can be called the number one person under the Dharma King.”
“Don’t you guys know? Archmage Longze reached the limit of mortals fifty years ago, and it’s estimated that he has long since broken through to the realm of the Mage King, it’s just that the outside world doesn’t know about it.”
……
All of the mages of Evil Wood Palace revealed looks of awe and fear, because, among the legends, Archmage Long Ze was a person with a very strange character, who had done a lot of evil things, killing people like crazy, and had a fierce reputation.
Who wouldn’t be afraid of such a person?
Before Zhang Ruochen arrived at the Evil Wood Palace, he had already disguised himself briefly, his skin and figure had changed, appearing abnormally dry and thin, and indeed resembling the Great Venerable Master Longze very much.
Of course, it was still not an easy task to fool a figure like the Ashen Venerable Lord, one had to borrow the aura of the Demonic Ape. As long as one could suppress the other party in terms of Qi, one could paralyse the other party to a certain extent.
Furthermore, Zhang Ruochen firmly believed that with the Evil Wood Palace’s current delicate situation, it was definitely hoping to pull in a strong person like Archmage Longze.
After all, the Evil Wood Palace had already fallen two Dharma Kings and was at its weakest point. For Archmage Longze to defect to them would be like sending charcoal in snow to them.
Zhang Ruochen gave a dry laugh, “Brother Ashen, it’s been a long time since we parted ways at the Demon Ape Ridge. Recently, old me has finally broken through the mortal limit and reached the realm of the King of Mages, so I plan to come out and walk around, I wonder if there is a place for old me in Evil Wood Palace?”
Asheng Dharma King’s heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, “Brother Longze is willing to join the Evil Wood Palace, of course, he is welcome.”
Asheng Dharma King did not doubt Zhang Ruochen, right now, the Five Elements Ruins Realm was under attack by the Heavenly Evil Demons, even the Five Great Dharma Master Holy Lands could only barely protect themselves, if Long Ze did not join the Evil Wood Palace, how could he survive?
Moreover, Evil Wood Palace was now suffering from internal and external problems, and there was a lack of experts, so it was exactly in need of a strong person like Long Ze.
