That figure was sitting in a dark corner, motionless, with no life breath emanating from his body. He was probably just a dead corpse, not a living person.
Zhang Ruochen is not a timid person, but it's just that a dead body sat behind him for several days without him noticing it. Just thinking about it makes people feel creepy.
There are many weird things on the ancient ship of the undead. Even the holy thoughts can be cultivated into the evil holy thoughts. What else can't happen?
Therefore, even when faced with a lifeless corpse, Zhang Ruochen remained vigilant and approached it cautiously.
The body had been sitting there for who knows how many years. It was covered in dust and shriveled, but it had not rotted.
There was a blood hole the size of a wine glass between the eyebrows of the corpse. There were cracks all around the hole, making his entire head look like a cracked clay pot.
The blood hole between the eyebrows is a fatal wound.
"He has been dead for many years but has not rotted away. This person must have been a peerless strong man before him." Xiao Hei said.
"If he is really a peerless strong man, even if he dies, his body should still emit a breathtaking aura that ordinary creatures cannot get close to. However, I have been in the cabin for so long, but I have not noticed any aura.
."
Zhang Ruochen held his chin with his fingers, feeling confused. Then, his eyes lit up and he said, "There should be some kind of treasure on his body that masks his aura."
In a place like the Ancient Ship of the Undead, Zhang Ruochen did not dare to mess around. He first released his mental power to investigate and confirmed that there was no danger before walking to the corpse.
A white token was hung on the corpse's belt using a silver thread.
Zhang Ruochen first took off the token and wiped off the dust on the surface.
I saw that there were eight sword patterns engraved on the token, each one containing a different charm of swordsmanship, and each one was more profound than the last.
Zhang Ruochen released his mental power and immersed himself in it.
Suddenly, the eight sword patterns on the token emitted white light, rushed up, and turned into eight three-inch long swords, wielding eight different sword techniques.
Although the eight sword techniques are all mysterious, one can clearly notice that their power is different.
In particular, the seventh sword technique and the eighth sword technique are extremely mysterious and ever-changing. Even with Zhang Ruochen's current swordsmanship, he was forced to retreat by them.
Zhang Ruochen quickly withdrew his mental power, a little horrified, and said: "Wanxiang City's "Flying Immortal Sword Art"?"
Wanxiang City, known as the "Sword City", is as famous as the Sword Pavilion of Tai Chi Tao, the Wang Family of Pluto Sword Tomb, and the Martial God Mountain of Wushi Qianzhuang, and is also known as the four major kendo holy places in the world.
Wanxiang City's "Flying Immortal Sword Art" is famous all over the world, so Zhang Ruochen naturally knows a little about it.
It is said that "Flying Immortal Sword Art" is a swordsmanship book created by the ancestors of Wanxiang City by studying the "Wordless Sword Manual".
The first heavy sword technique corresponds to Sword One.
The second heavy sword technique corresponds to the second sword technique.
By analogy, the eighth heavy sword technique corresponds to the eight swords.
Compared with "Wordless Sword Manual", the biggest advantage of "Flying Immortal Sword Manual" is that it is easier to understand, and it also directly transforms the artistic conception of swordsmanship into sword techniques.
While practicing swordsmanship moves, sword cultivators can reversely comprehend Sword 1, Sword 2, Sword 3...
Eight hundred years ago, the Sword Emperor Xue Hongchen came into being and directly supplemented the "Flying Immortal Sword Art" to the tenth level, making the "Flying Immortal Sword Art" one of the most powerful sword art in the Kunlun world.
Zhang Ruochen turned over the token, and sure enough, the three words "Wanxiang City" were printed on the back of the token.
"This person is wearing the Eight Sword Order of Wanxiang City, which means that he has successfully practiced the eighth sword technique of "Flying Immortal Sword Technique", and he should also have fully understood the eight swords. He is really a terrifying person.
"Zhang Ruochen said.
Xiao Hei said: "According to my judgment, this person should have been dead for three hundred years."
"Three hundred years ago, there were nine sword masters in Wanxiang City, crushing the other three sword masters, and they were known as the best in the world. Among the nine sword masters, six of them were disciples of the Sword Emperor. Three hundred years ago
Come on, three of the nine great sword masters have fallen, and two are missing."
"This person should be Xue Lanshan, the number one master in Wanxiang City three hundred years ago and the second disciple of the Sword Emperor."
After some thinking, Zhang Ruochen deduced the identity of the corpse.
The Sword Emperor was the most romantic and only accepted female disciples, but he made an exception and accepted Xuelanshan as his disciple. This shows that Xuelanshan's qualifications are very high.
At that time, the monks in the entire Kunlun world believed that Xuelan Shan was the successor of the Sword Emperor.
Xuelan Mountain did not disappoint the Sword Emperor. After the Sword Emperor disappeared, he quickly became the number one master in Wanxiang City.
If, three hundred years ago, he had not died here, he would have probably understood the Nine Swordsmanship and become an unparalleled master of swordsmanship in the world today.
"The cultivation of Xuelan Mountain is so terrifying. Under the Great Sage, there are probably not many people who can match him. How could they fall on the ancient ship of the undead? Is there something more terrifying than the evil holy mind body on the ancient ship of the undead?
?”
Thinking of this, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help feeling his hands and feet were cold, and realized that he had underestimated the danger of the ancient ship of the undead.
Zhang Ruochen once heard Ao Xinyan mention that after reaching the Holy Realm, the higher the cultivation level, the faster he would die if he broke into the Yin and Yang Sea. Originally, Zhang Ruochen still didn't believe it, but now he believes it a bit.
Zhang Ruochen put away the Eight Swords Order and continued to explore the body. He took out a hexagonal stone about the size of a palm from the chest of the body.
The stone looks quite rough, red in color, and has dragon patterns carved on it.
Xiaohei looked excited when he saw the hexagonal stone in Zhang Ruochen's hand and said: "This is the door seal of Dragon Fire Island. I finally know why Xuelan Mountain came to Yin Yang Sea. He must want to enter Dragon Fire Island."
Island, subdue the Soulful Dragon Fire, and use the tempering of the Soulful Dragon Fire to refine the holy body to prepare for the impact on the Great Sage Realm."
Zhang Ruochen showed a hint of joy and said: "Is there really a spirit dragon fire in the Yin and Yang sea?"
The Spiritual Dragon Fire is of a higher grade than the Infinite Holy Fire. It is spit out from the mouth of the divine dragon and can burn the sky and boil the sea.
Xiao Hei said: "In the entire Kunlun world, only Dragon Fire Island has the Thousand Spirit Dragon Fire. In the extremely distant past, after the cubs of the Shenlong clan reached the holy realm, they would go to Dragon Fire Island to try to conquer the Thousand Spirit Dragon Fire."
"Zhang Ruochen, you should also tame a slender dragon fire. Use it to deal with the evil holy mind body. Moreover, when collecting the Shenlong Sun and Moon Chaos Tower, the slender dragon fire can also be of great use."
Xiao Hei didn't need to say anything. Zhang Ruochen had already decided to collect the news after learning about the Soul Spirit Dragon Fire.
The magical effects of the Spiritual Dragon Fire are much more than those mentioned by Xiao Hei, and it is also of great help to the cultivation of the holy way.
However, it is not easy to enter Dragon Fire Island. You can only enter by borrowing the door seal.
Zhang Ruochen put the door seal in his hand into the space ring and kept it properly.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ruochen continued to explore and finally found the reason why the aura on the corpse did not spread out.
The reason lies on the right wrist of the corpse.
It was a string of white beads, twelve in total.
"The Buddhist beads have the aura of the Buddha Emperor. Could they be spiritual treasures that were refined by the Buddha Emperor himself?"
Zhang Ruochen is still very familiar with the Buddha Emperor's aura, so he can naturally identify it.
Xiaohei nodded and said: "Xuelanshan brought this string of Buddhist beads into the Yin and Yang Sea, probably because he wanted to cover up the secrets of heaven, cover up his aura, and avoid the dangers in the Yin and Yang Sea. Unfortunately, he still failed to reach Longhuo Island.
Died on the ancient ship of the undead."
This string of Buddhist beads is much more superior than the one given to Zhang Ruochen by Master Indra.
"Wearing this string of beads, I should be able to avoid the evil holy body. Moreover, the Immortal Temple will definitely no longer be able to deduce my whereabouts." Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.
The reason why Zhang Ruochen has been in a passive situation all this time is because the Temple of the Immortal can calculate his location, and no matter where he escapes, he will be caught up.
As long as he can avoid the calculations of the Immortal Temple, Zhang Ruochen can change from light to dark, from passive to active.
The moment Zhang Ruochen took off the beads, the corpse's eyes suddenly opened and stared straight at him.
At the same time, a roar sounded from the body of the corpse, and a dazzling holy light emitted from the skin, illuminating the cabin.
Powerful fluctuations of holy energy spread throughout the ancient ship of the undead.
After Xue Lanshan's death, the strong holy power had been gathered in his body, and it completely exploded at this moment.
On the ancient ship of the undead, all the evil holy thoughts were alerted, making piercing roars and rushing towards the center of the fluctuation of holy power.
"Senior Xuelan Shan, let me lend you two things you have on you. When you leave the Yin and Yang Sea, I will definitely send your body and relics back to Wanxiang City."
Zhang Ruochen didn't want to take advantage of the dead. Besides, it was a huge opportunity to find the door seal and Buddhist beads of Fire Dragon Island on Xuelan Mountain.
After using them, returning the two treasures to the descendants of Xuelan Mountain can be regarded as a repayment of repayment.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Ruochen's words, the corpse's eyes closed again.
Xiao Hei breathed a long sigh of relief, still staring at the body, and said: "Zhang Ruochen, if you hadn't said those words just now, I'm afraid you would have died here."
"Really?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
"If your cultivation reaches the height of Xuelan Mountain, even if you are dead, you may still have some back-ups left behind."
After a pause, Xiao Hei continued: "With the protection of the Buddha beads, the holy soul of Xuelan Mountain may not have all dissipated. Even if there is only a ray of residual soul in the body, it will not be difficult to kill you."
Zhang Ruochen secretly rejoiced and said: "Let's go, leave quickly, I can feel that a large number of evil holy thoughts are coming."
Zhang Ruochen bowed respectfully to Xue Lanshan's body, then put the body into the space ring and quickly left the cabin with Xiao Hei.
On the road, Zhang Ruochen encountered dozens of evil holy thoughts. However, with twelve Buddhist beads on his hand, he avoided all of them one by one without being detected by them.
Zhang Ruochen didn't go looking for Ao Xinyan and Jiu Madman. Finding them on the ancient ship of the undead would undoubtedly be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
In the next three days, while Zhang Ruochen consolidated his realm, he also refined the remaining 20% of the Dragon Ball's essence, improving his strength to a certain extent.
Also on this day, Zhang Ruochen stood on the deck and saw another undead ancient ship appearing on the vast sea. The undead ancient ship exuded silver brilliance, turning the nearby sea area into silver.
It is the ancient silver undead ship that the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Dragon and the sacred beast of Zulong Mountain ride on.
"Finally caught up with them."
Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.
At this moment, the silver ancient ship of the undead was docked near an island.
Xiao Hei jumped onto Zhang Ruochen's shoulders, pointed to the island in the distance, and said, "That's Dragon Fire Island."
