Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, looking towards Ao Xinyan, said, “Senior Sister Ao, for the next period of time, you and the Orange Moon Star Envoy will cultivate in seclusion inside the Scrolls World, and if you have any doubts about your cultivation, you can ask Little Black for advice.”
The Figure Scroll World, was a unique cultivation mecca, Ao Xin Yan was naturally willing to cultivate inside, or at the very least, to raise her cultivation to the Fish Dragon Realm first.
Only by reaching the Fish Dragon Realm would one be considered to have transcended mortals and truly stepped into the Holy Way.
Both the Orange Moon Star Ambassador and Ao Xin Yan wanted to work hard to raise their cultivation and enhance their strength, so, without wasting any more time, they sat down on the edge of the stump of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood and began to run their gong methods and cultivate.
Next, Zhang Ruochen, Xiao Hei, and Huang Yichen, walked towards the centre of the stump, gradually approaching the new sapling of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood.
A few worried looks appeared on Huang Yichen’s face as he turned around and looked in the direction of the Orange Moon Star Envoy, saying, “Zhang Ruochen, you mustn’t be mesmerised by the Orange Moon Star Envoy’s beauty, her words are not to be trusted.”
“I think that she is submitting to you solely for the purpose of cultivating inside the Scroll World, taking advantage of the unique environment here to make herself strong. When she has achieved success in her cultivation, she will definitely kill her way out of the Figure Scroll World.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “I understand.”
Little Black walked with his two hind paws and laughed loudly, “Anyone can see that she is faking her submission. A mere little girl with a deep heart, it doesn’t matter, this Emperor naturally has a way to temper her into true submission. Zhang Ruochen, are you interested in personally tempering her?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “Not interested. She is the one you want, so naturally, she will be given to you to discipline. I only hope that in the future, no trouble will arise because of her.”
Little Black snorted coldly, “How could this Emperor not even be able to suppress her? On the contrary, it’s you, you have to help me find the other two physiques, the True God’s Body and the Innate Extreme Yang Body. Five types of physiques, you can’t have one without the other.”
“I will keep an eye out for you.”Zhang Ruochen said.
The two of them, one cat, soon arrived underneath the new seedlings of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood.
The aura here was even denser.
Especially the wood-attribute aura, it was almost like a stream, weaving in and out of mid-air before finally turning into a white mist.
Zhang Ruochen looked at the sacred giant tree in front of him and said, “Little Black, remember that one thing I mentioned to you? When I collected the Origin Qi of the Wood Essence Ruins Realm, I entered that metaphysical realm again, and at that time, right underneath the Heaven Receiving Divine Tree, an old man who was practicing swords appeared. Do you know, what exactly is that one old man?”
Xiao Hei was a little surprised, his eyes darted around, thought for a moment, and shook his head, “I’ve been in the Scroll World, for a total of a million years, and I’ve never seen any old man practicing swords.”
“But.”
“But what?”Zhang Ruochen’s eyes stared.
As if he was recalling something, Little Black said, “That one old vulture, the Sumerian Holy Monk, once practiced a sword technique here. Perhaps, the old man you saw practicing the sword was the shadow left behind by the Sacred Monk of Sumeru millions of years ago.”
“A shadow that can remain for that long?”Huang Yichen was a bit puzzled.
Xiao: “Other shadows naturally can’t, but that bald donkey, the Sumeru Saint Monk, is not an ordinary person, his power fluctuations are too strong, enough to distort this piece of space. It is not impossible for you to see his shadow again after a million years.”
“It is indeed possible.”Zhang Ruochen nodded.
Between the heavens, I was afraid that the only people who were able to incorporate time into their sword techniques were Saint Monk Sumeru and Zhang Ruochen.
In Zhang Ruochen’s heart, he secretly surmised that at that time, the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood had absorbed a large amount of Origin Qi, which must have caused the aura to quake, thus causing the images from millions of years ago to reappear.
Of course, this was only his and Little Black’s guess and might not be the truth.
Zhang Ruochen had only just begun to cultivate the Sword of Time, and even the first sword, “Shakeless”, had only reached a small level of success, and it would take a long time of cultivation to merge the power of time and the sword technique into one.
“Above the Space-Time Secret Codex, there should be a record of the cultivation method of the Sword of Time.”
Zhang Ruochen immediately took out the Space-Time Secret Dictionary and started flipping through it from the first page until he reached the ninth page, where he saw the words “Sword of Time”.
Previously, Zhang Ruochen could only flip through to the eighth page, and when he reached the ninth page, he could not open it no matter how hard he tried.
This was the first time he had reached the ninth page.
Only to see that on the ninth page of the Space-Time Mysterious Dictionary, a total of nine hundred small figures were sketched.
Each villain was only the size of a mosquito fly, and they were holding a sword in various forms, performing different sword moves.
Some had their bodies bent down, holding the sword in one hand and stabbing forward. Some had their legs bent, their arms struck horizontally, and swung their swords, nine hundred pictures, nine hundred forms.
Each picture was a sword move, either stabbing, teasing, blocking, or chopping, each move was different, yet they were all extremely marvellous and full of the rhythm of the Way of the Sword.
The Shakura Sword Technique was the foundation of the Sword of Time, a time mark, a Shakura, a sword move.
Nine hundred khanas, converging into one moment.
Eight moments, which in turn converged into an hour.
Twelve hours, converging into a day.
At the beginning of time, it was a ksana.
There were a total of nine hundred moves in the Ksana Sword Technique, and Zhang Ruochen had only learnt one of them now.
Zhang Ruochen completely integrated his spiritual energy into the Secret Code of Time, and his soul, as if jumping out from inside his body, landed on top of the pages.
“Wow!”
Immediately, on the pages of the book, nine hundred sword-wielding villains came to life.
They stood on all sides of Zhang Ruochen, constantly rehearsing their moves, and each of them rehearsed different moves.
Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual energy, completely immersed, went to the side of the first villain and carefully observed his sword technique and sword stance, while, at the same time, following the rehearsal.
Perhaps it was because, Zhang Ruochen had already cultivated a Shakura Sword Technique, so, cultivating the second sword stance, he quickly succeeded.
Zhang Ruochen withdrew his spiritual energy, drew the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, and with his arm resting as straight as the sword, he stabbed out.
“Wow!”
The sword technique was like a bolt of lightning that flew past Huang Yichen’s eyes.
In the next moment, Zhang Ruochen was already standing three feet away, putting the sword away and muttering to himself, “The Shakura Sword Technique, surprisingly, has a total of 900 moves, only after completely cultivating the 900 moves successfully should one be able to cultivate the second level of the Sword of Time, the Scale Sword Technique.”
The greatest weakness of the Scale Sword Technique, was that the moves were incoherent, and each move was independent of each other.
However, as Zhang Ruochen cultivated more and more sword moves, the Sword Technique would surely change drastically. Even with just one move, it would be enough to reign supreme in the same realm.
Zhang Ruochen was not in a hurry to close the door and cultivate the Shakura Sword Technique right now, but instead, he put away the Time and Space Mysteries and took out Huang Shenyi’s bones.
Since Huang Shenyi had obtained the Xuanwu Inheritance, there was definitely more than just the six holy swords in his possession.
What other treasures had been obtained?
“Snap!”
Zhang Ruochen used his true qi, wrapped his palm, and struck out, shattering the layer of cold ice on Huang Shenyi’s body.
He then closed in on Huang Shenyi’s body.
On Huang Shenyi’s neck, there was a piece of protective treasure in the shape of a turtle shell.
This piece of protective treasure was able to block the attack of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, so it was naturally not a mortal item.
That piece of tortoise shell, named Tortoise Xuan Armour, was only the size of a fingernail cap, took on the colour of turquoise, and had very complex inscriptions engraved within it, making it a twelfth-order True Martial Treasure of the defensive class.
As long as one used true qi, one could activate the defensive inscriptions in the Turtle Xuan Armour, forming an orb-shaped formation air shield.
A Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist who fully injected his true qi into the Turtle Xuan Armour was enough to block the full force of a cultivator of the Sixth Transformation of the Fish Dragon.
It could only block one strike.
If, for example, a cultivator of the Sixth Transformation of the Fish Dragon struck a second blow, with the amount of true qi in the body of a Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artist, it would be impossible to inspire the defence of the Turtle Xuan Armor for a second time.
Moreover, if the other party also possessed a twelfth rank True Martial Treasure Artifact level attacking battle weapon, or even possessed a Saint Artifact, then the Turtle Xuan Armour might not be able to block the other party’s attack.
The Turtle Xuan Armour was indeed a rare defensive treasure, and it would be a waste if it was given to the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword to refine.
Zhang Ruochen handed the Turtle Xuan Armour to Huang Yichen and said, “Senior Sister Yichen, this piece of protective treasure is for you.”
Although the Turtle Xuan Armour was precious, it paled into insignificance when compared to the six Saint Swords.
Thus, Huang Yichen didn’t be polite with Zhang Ruochen and took the Turtle Xuan Armour and wore it on top of her wrist.
Next, Zhang Ruochen found two more bottles of pills on Huang Shenyi’s body.
One of the bottles, contained a milky-white Fish Dragon Dan.
The Fish Dragon Dan, a seventh grade elixir, was very precious and could help a martial artist impact the bottleneck of the Martial Dao, breaking the mortal shackles and entering the Fish Dragon Realm.
For a Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist, the Fish Dragon Dan, was a priceless treasure.
With Huang Shenyi’s cultivation, as long as he took the Fish Dragon Dan, he could immediately break through to the Fish Dragon Realm. However, he must have wanted to go and impact the Heavenly Extremity Realm’s Supreme Extremity Realm, and that was why he had only brought this one elixir with him. Yet, he did not expect that he would not have the chance to take it until his death.
In fact, there was nothing to be sorry about, throughout history, there had been many outstandingly gifted individuals who had suppressed their realms and had refused to break through because they wanted to impact the Heavenly Extremity Realm’s Supreme Extremity Realm. In the end, not only did they fail to reach the Heavenly Extremity Realm’s Supreme Extremity Realm, they died instead.
There were too many such examples to count.
The Fish Dragon Pill, although it was an extraordinary treasure, Zhang Ruochen had no interest in it. He had the same idea as Huang Shenyi, he was also going to impact the Supreme Extreme Realm of the Heavenly Extreme Realm. Even if he knew that this path was a thousand times more difficult, and that he would die a horrible death if he was not careful, he would still go on without a second thought.
Therefore, he gave the Fish Dragon Pill to Huang Yichen as well.
The other bottle of the elixir, however, was a bit peculiar, even the bottle containing the elixir was quite ancient and seemed to be a treasure.
Zhang Ruochen used his hand to pull out the lid of the dan bottle, but, no matter how much strength he used, the lid of the dan bottle, did not budge.
