Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare to barge in and turned around, ready to head back, but suddenly, he saw a white holy light fly over in front of him, descending outside the mountain gate.
The white holy light exuded a very large divine aura, and the very moment it descended, it immediately shocked the two Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation old Taoists who were guarding the mountain gate into kneeling on the ground.
The two Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation old Taoists kowtowed downwards and said in unison, “Greetings to the Ancestor.”
The holy light gradually dispersed, revealing five silhouettes.
Only Half-Saints were enough to fly in the Shangqing Palace, so it was clear that the five people in front of them must all be at the level of Ancestors of the Two Element Sect.
Zhang Ruochen was afraid of revealing his footsteps, so naturally, he was quite careful and immediately lowered his head and retreated to the side of the road.
He slightly raised his eyelids and looked forward.
Only to see that four of the five people were wearing purple daoist robes, and each of them exuded a strong holy qi, so that ordinary cultivators wouldn’t dare to look directly at them.
In addition to the four daoists, there was also a young woman dressed in white, standing at the very front.
The woman in white seemed to be quite young, with long black hair and a slender, delicate body, giving off an unearthly feeling, almost like a Lingbo Fairy.
Her body radiated an eye-catching divine light, filled with a spiritual aura. Although, Zhang Ruochen could not see her appearance, he was able to affirm that she must be a stunning beauty.
The four Half-Saints of the Two Elemental Sect, who were also vaguely honoured by her, all stood behind her.
Among them, a purple-robed old Taoist standing on the rightmost side extended a hand and drew it forward, saying, “Talented Lady, please.”
The white-robed woman standing at the very front, gently nodded and just took a step forward.
Suddenly, as if she had sensed something, she stopped and glanced towards Zhang Ruochen, who was standing beside the road, and gave a shallow smile, saying, “The Two Element Sect really does have a lot of talent.”
The woman in white only casually stared at Zhang Ruochen, but the look in her eyes was quite bright. Zhang Ruochen only felt that, in front of the woman in white, his body had become transparent.
It was as if, the secrets of his body had been completely seen through by the woman in white.
The four purple-robed old daoists also all looked over towards Zhang Ruochen, revealing a look of surprise.
This was because, when they flew just now, they exuded a powerful Saint Might that shocked the two Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation cultivators who were guarding the mountain gate into kneeling down.
However, this one young disciple in front of them remained in a standing position.
One must know that even a Sacred Transmission disciple would have a hard time resisting the Saintly Might of four Half-Saints.
This young disciple, it seemed that there really was something not simple about him.
However, to them, it was just one more glance at Zhang Ruochen before they walked into the mountain gate together and disappeared inside the foggy sea of the Ancient God Mountain.
“What exactly is she, how is she so powerful?”
Only when they left did Zhang Ruochen exhale a long breath, his heart beating rapidly and his entire body already drenched in cold sweat.
The two old Taoists who were guarding the mountain gate, stood up and exhaled often as well.
Obviously, they had also endured a considerable amount of pressure just now, and it was only now that they were able to fully relax.
The two old daoists looked towards Zhang Ruochen in the distance, revealing a curious expression, it was incredible that a mere inner disciple was able to resist the holy might of four Half-Saint Ancestors.
Zhang Ruochen walked over and asked, “Two seniors, didn’t you say that no one could step into the Ancient God Mountain today, who was that woman in white just now and why was she able to enter the Ancient God Mountain?”
The two old daoists knew that Zhang Ruochen was quite extraordinary and were much more polite to him.
Among them, the old dao standing on the left side, said, “You don’t even recognise her? She is one of the most favoured Nine Heavens Xuan Maidens beside the Empress, the Sacred Maiden of Talent.”
Another old Taoist added, “She’s a Saint, and she’s a Spiritual Force Saint.”
Legend had it that Empress Chi Yao had nine major female officials beside her, known as the “Nine Heavenly Xuan Maidens”.
Among them, the Sacred Maiden was mainly responsible for “supervising the world”, therefore, the five domains’ wind and cloud newspapers were compiled by her, so that she could grasp the wind and cloud events of the entire Kunlun Realm at the first time.
It could be said that the secrets of all the major clans, sects, academies and forces in the Kunlun Realm were all in her hands.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, staring in the direction of the Ancient God Mountain, muttered to himself, “So she is the Sacred Book Talented Lady.”
At one time, Zhang Ruochen had wanted to understand the truth of what happened eight hundred years ago through the Sacred Book Talented Lady.
However, he did not expect that she was actually Chi Yao’s person.
Zhang Ruochen immediately turned the Sacred Book Talented Lady into the ranks of dangerous people, and must not mess with her until he had cultivated to the Saint realm.
Zhang Ruochen then asked the two old Taoists how he could enter the Ancient God Mountain.
The two old Taoists told him that only Sacred Transmission Disciples could enter the Ancient God Mountain once on the first day of every month.
Although, Zhang Ruochen was already at the cultivation level of the Fish Dragon Realm, he hadn’t gone through the coronation ceremony, thus, he couldn’t be considered a Sacred Transmission Disciple yet.
When he returned to the Violet Cloud Spirit Mountain, Zhang Ruochen resumed his original appearance, entered the Scroll World, took out two Spirit Crystals, pinched them in his hands, and began to run his gong methods.
With his current cultivation level, the Saint Qi in his body could only allow the changes to last for a day.
After a whole day of twists and turns, the Saint Qi in Zhang Ruochen’s body was almost depleted.
It took an hour for Zhang Ruochen to recultivate enough Saint Qi.
“If I can break through to the Fish Dragon Fifth Transformation, I will be able to open up a second Saint Vein, and at that time, it will be enough to sustain the change for five consecutive days.”
Right now, he only had one thought, to work hard to raise his cultivation level.
Zhang Ruochen took out the Source of Spiritual Flame, one of the Five Elements Spiritual Treasures, and held it between his hands as he began to absorb and refine it.
Refining the Source of Spirit Fire would not only allow him to cultivate the Four Spirit Treasure Body, but would also allow him to rapidly raise his cultivation level.
In the Scroll World, after cultivating for a month in a row, Zhang Ruochen’s body had once again reached saturation and was unable to absorb any more Spirit Flame Source into his body.
Zhang Ruochen’s physique had only improved a little bit, and he was still far away from cultivating into the “Four Spirit Treasure Body”.
Of course, after a whole month of cultivation, Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation had improved tremendously, comparable to the results of a year of hard cultivation by other cultivators.
Moreover, Zhang Ruochen’s Sword Dao had also improved greatly.
It shouldn’t take long for him to reach the fifth level of Sword One.
“Today is the day for the coronation ceremony, wait until after the coronation ceremony and then impact the fifth layer realm.”
Zhang Ruochen walked out of the Scroll World and once again returned to the small courtyard of the Violet Cloud Spirit Mountain.
His nose sniffed, and he immediately smelled a bloody odour.
“What’s going on?”
Zhang Ruochen released his spiritual power and carefully walked out of the room, and before long, he saw a bloody corpse in the grass in the courtyard.
It was Zhao Yi C’s corpse.
Xiao Hei took a lazy cat step and jumped down from the top of the room’s beam, saying, “This old Taoist, sneaking into the courtyard, claimed that he was trying to kill you, this Emperor really didn’t see eye to eye with him, so he killed him first. It shouldn’t cause any trouble, right?”
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards the corpse and sighed, saying, “Why bother?”
Zhao Yicang, who had been relegated to digging in the Abyssal Ancient Mine by the Zixia Half-Saint, would surely be quite unwilling, and should have wanted to kill Zhang Ruochen on his way out to ease his heart’s hatred.
However, he did not expect that his luck was so bad that he encountered Little Black.
A green-clothed Elder was actually killed by a fat cat with a single paw, so it was estimated that Zhao Yi C must have been quite unwilling when he died.
“It shouldn’t cause any trouble, right?”Jr.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “Since the person has already been killed, what else can we do? Hurry up and take his corpse and dispose of it by bringing it into the Scroll World.”
In the Two Element Sect, a coronation ceremony was held once a month.
The place where it was held, was at the dojo of the Shangqing Palace.
On this day of the month, the dojo of the Shangqing Palace would gather a lot of people, and the inner disciples of the three palaces and seventy-two courtyards would all come to join in the fun. If they were lucky, they might even be able to see a Half-Saint Ancestor.
It was not easy for the Violet Cloud Spirit Mountain to give birth to a Sacred Transmission Disciple, so the Violet Cloud Half-Saint naturally attached considerable importance to it, and so he temporarily stepped out of the gate and personally brought Zhang Ruochen to the Shangqing Palace.
With his special status, the Zixia Half-Saint naturally would not show his face, and after placing Zhang Ruochen in the dojo, he turned into a holy light and flew into the Shangqing Palace to gather with some other Half-Saints.
In the morning, Zhang Ruochen burned incense and bathed, changing into a green-coloured dao robe that could only be worn by Sacred Transmission disciples.
“There are actually so many people coming over to watch the coronation ceremony once a month.”
Zhang Ruochen looked outside the dojo and saw that the surroundings were filled with human figures, apart from the outer disciples, there were even a large number of inner disciples.
“Xiao Yue, don’t you know that this month’s Coronation Ceremony, not only will you be able to see a great beauty, you will also be able to see a dragon fight? Such a thing doesn’t happen every month, so of course they want to come and watch the fun.”
A sinister laughing voice sounded behind Zhang Ruochen.
As he spoke, that person actually stretched out a hand and very casually put it on top of Zhang Ruochen’s shoulder. With his other hand, he stroked the beard above his lips in a cynical manner.
Xiao Yue?
Only then did Zhang Ruochen react to the fact that the other party was talking to him.
Zhang Ruochen glanced over his face and glanced towards him.
This person looked to be in his thirties, with an exceptionally high nose that formed a barb, and a nose shaped much like an eagle’s beak.
Zhang Ruochen looked very calm and said, “Who are you?”
