In a secret cave, golden light bloomed, flickering brightly and dimly, as if some strange treasure had been born.
On a large bluestone in the cave, a figure sat cross-legged, exuding an extremely strong breath of life, and golden blood continuously emerged from the body, turning into a golden divine sea.
This person is none other than King Xiaoyang who escaped alone.
Since escaping, King Xiao Yang has begun to retreat, taking a large amount of precious holy medicines and holy pills, which has more than doubled his life force, and the majestic blood energy derived from it all converges in the golden divine sea in front of him.
.
Not only that, King Xiaoyang also used an incredible secret method to derive tens of millions of holy rules, which are exactly the same as the rules of the holy way he possesses. However, this is even more effective than refining the Five-Yuan Emperor Flower.
For astonishing.
The tens of millions of derived rules of the holy way are intertwined with each other to form a golden sun, rising and falling in the golden divine sea.
As time went by, the golden divine sea gradually shrank, and in the end, it turned into a human form.
The person transformed by the golden divine sea is exactly the same as King Xiaoyang. His body exudes vitality, and even the aura he exudes is the same as King Xiaoyang.
"Uh-huh."
The person in front of King Xiaoyang suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes bursting out with extremely sharp eyes, and a strong evil aura condensed between his brows.
"Brother, don't get excited yet. This body has just been created and is not very stable yet." King Xiaoyang quickly spoke to comfort him.
King Dayang, who had apparently self-destructed, actually reappeared in the world. If Zhang Ruochen and others knew about it, they would definitely be shocked.
The reason is that the Jinyang Twin Kings have the special ability of having different bodies and the same fate. As long as one of them is still alive, the other can be resurrected.
Because of this, King Xiaoyang had no hesitation in taking the Golden Crow Ancient Cauldron and escaping alone.
However, although the different bodies and the same fate allowed King Dayang to be resurrected, King Dayang's strength was greatly reduced. Both the body and the holy soul became very fragile. It would take a long time and a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to revive him.
Practice to return to your previous strength.
King Dayang was very aware of his current state, so he quickly calmed down and completely controlled his breath to prevent his fragile body from collapsing.
"I didn't expect that our careful planning would end up like this. We two brothers have never suffered such a misfortune." King Xiaoyang sighed.
A cold light flashed in Dayang King's eyes, he exhaled softly and said: "Don't worry, there will be a chance for Zhang Ruochen to pay back this debt. My strength is greatly damaged now, and I am not suitable to fight with Zhang Ruochen again. I will bear with it for the time being.
The main focus is to find the treasure of the Dragon Temple and the key to the world gate. If nothing is accomplished, we really can't explain it to the Lord."
"Zhang Ruochen and others don't know the abilities of our two brothers. Now I'm afraid they all think that you are dead, but this is our chance. At the right time, we can catch them off guard." King Xiaoyang said with bright eyes.
.
King Dayang nodded and said: "Next time, I will give them a big surprise."
Having said that, King Dayang sat down on the ground and started to use his skills to familiarize himself with and strengthen this new body. Otherwise, he would not be able to fight with others at all.
King Xiaoyang has sat down cross-legged, on the one hand to protect the law for King Dayang, and at the same time to restore his own consumed energy.
On a ruined battlefield, Zhang Ruochen devoted himself wholeheartedly to his cultivation, and eight petals of the Five-Yuan Emperor Flower were refined one after another, causing the number of rules of the Holy Way in Tongtian River to increase continuously.
In the blink of an eye, the total number of holy rules that Zhang Ruochen possesses has reached two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. He is already at the critical point of breakthrough in cultivation. One more rule will be able to
Entering the Lindao realm.
The Five Yuan Emperor Flower is extremely magical, and the rules of the Holy Path added are all the Great Way and the Supreme Holy Path.
As a result, the rules of the holy path cultivated by the small path only accounted for a little more than 20% of the total number in Zhang Ruochen's body, almost breaking the balance of the Tongtian River.
If it weren't for the miraculous power of the Five Yuan Emperor Flower, which made all the rules of the holy way in Tongtian River very tightly integrated, I'm afraid Tongtian River would have collapsed at this moment.
Cultivation is like building a tall building, the foundation must be solid, and the rules of the small path are indispensable.
According to the cultivation experience of the former sages, no matter how great the opportunity is, the number of small path rules must never be less than 20%.
Under normal circumstances, the rules of the small path account for 30% to 40% of the total, which is actually the most reasonable and the difficulty of practice is not too great.
Of course, this is simply unimaginable for most monks. There are very few people who can control their own small path rules below 50%. Only the top geniuses can do it.
The further you go, the more this is true, especially after reaching the Lindao realm, the increase in the rules of the Holy Path will make it very difficult. Who can be picky about what kind of rules of the Holy Path are cultivated?
Regardless of the fact that Zhang Ruochen currently possesses only about 20% of the rules of the Holy Dao that are the result of cultivation in the minor path, but later on, the rules of the minor path will account for 40 to 50%, or even 60%, which is very normal.
At a certain moment, the speed of the Tongtian River in Zhang Ruochen's body suddenly accelerated, like the Tianhe River, flowing endlessly and with great momentum.
For a moment, the vitality of the surrounding heaven and earth rushed towards Zhang Ruochen crazily, and the rules of heaven and earth also became active.
Without hesitation, Zhang Ruochen took out a large number of holy stones and absorbed the holy energy of heaven and earth contained in the holy stones.
Now that his cultivation has broken through to the Lin Dao realm, he needs a huge amount of energy to draw directly from heaven and earth. The efficiency is undoubtedly too low. Using the holy stone can greatly save time.
The battle at Sword Tomb, the battle at Xianji Mountain, and the battle at Blood God Cult all allowed Zhang Ruochen to harvest a large amount of holy stones, and his net worth was comparable to that of many great saints.
It didn't take too long, and the Tongtian River returned to calm. The total number of rules of the Holy Path in it has exceeded 30 million.
Just when Zhang Ruochen was about to end his training, he faintly noticed something.
Involuntarily, Zhang Ruochen moved a finger on his right hand slightly, and a force of space was released, condensing into an invisible thread that silently extended in one direction.
In the blink of an eye, this space thread has extended hundreds of miles away.
At this moment, under a rock hundreds of miles away, there was a figure crouching, furtively watching Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei.
This is a short and thin old man, only 1.5 meters tall, with dark skin, a face full of wrinkles, and small eyes, like two beans, but he is extremely agile and reveals a sense of cunning.
It is extremely well hidden, with no breath escaping out. It is almost completely integrated with the surrounding environment, and even if it is close at hand, it is difficult to detect its existence.
"This guy is so powerful. He can actually condense the rules of the Holy Path into a river. There are no restrictions at all. Moreover, most of the rules of the Holy Path are derived from the cultivation of the Great Dao and the Supreme Holy Path. They also include the three Supreme Holy Paths. After all,
What's the origin?"
The short, thin old man rolled his eyes and whispered softly.
What he didn't notice was that an invisible space thread suddenly appeared next to him.
Before the short and thin old man could react, the space threads had bound him like lightning and entangled him hundreds of times.
"What's going on? How could he find me?"
The short, thin old man had a look of surprise in his eyes.
When he tried his best to break free, Zhang Ruochen pulled the space thread.
"boom."
The rock was blown away, and the short and thin old man was pulled out directly, and then quickly moved towards Zhang Ruochen.
In the blink of an eye, the short and thin old man appeared in front of Zhang Ruochen, bound tightly by invisible space threads, unable to move at all.
Xiao Hei looked at the short and thin old man with surprised eyes and said, "Where did this old guy come from?"
"I just broke through my cultivation and conformed to the rules of heaven and earth. I vaguely noticed a slight movement more than two hundred miles away, so I secretly put a space thread out. Unexpectedly, I actually gained something." Zhang Ruochen said with a smile.
Hearing this, the short and thin old man couldn't help but secretly thought that he was unlucky. He was already careful enough and never thought that Zhang Ruochen would be so alarmed that he could detect even the slightest movement.
If he had known this, he should have retreated further.
Xiao Hei stretched out his claws, lifted the skinny old man up, showed a fierce look, and asked: "Old guy, who are you? Why are you hiding aside to spy? If you can't explain clearly, I will eat him in one bite.
you."
Hearing this, the short and thin old man couldn't help but trembled, his little eyes rolled around, and he said nervously: "Don't eat me, my meat is too old and not delicious. I am just a casual cultivator, and I came to Zhenlong Island to hunt for treasures. It just happened.
When I was passing by nearby, I saw you guys fighting with others. I was afraid, so I hid, and I definitely didn’t mean to spy on you."
"You see that my cultivation is so weak and my courage is so cowardly that I cannot pose any threat to you at all. Just show your kindness and let me go!"
At the end of the sentence, the short and thin old man looked so pitiful that he was about to burst into tears.
"Passing by? It would be such a coincidence, and we have already finished the fight here. What are you doing hiding aside? Are you trying to do something evil?" Xiaohei's eyes were fierce, and his mouth showed sharp teeth.
The short and thin old man cried sadly and said: "Your battle was too terrible. I was so scared that my hands and feet became weak and I couldn't move. That's why I didn't leave. I really didn't have any intention. The eyes you looked at me were pure and flawless. Have you ever seen me?"
Any impurities?”
Seeing the appearance of the short and thin old man, Xiao Hei couldn't help but loosen his paws and throw him to the ground. He said with disdain: "I have never seen such a timid Holy King like you, and I can't even get the slightest interest from him.
"
Immediately, Xiao Hei looked at Zhang Ruochen and said, "This old guy is a coward at first glance. He shouldn't dare to take our chances."
Hearing this, the short and thin old man could not help but flash a flash of joy in his eyes, thinking that there was hope of escape.
However, Zhang Ruochen did not untie the thread of space, but instead bound it tighter.
Just now, when Xiao Hei was talking to the short and thin old man, Zhang Ruochen had been observing carefully. He found that the aura of the short and thin old man was extremely strange, and it seemed to be very consistent with the rules of the world around him.
While the short, thin old man was chattering away, the rules of the world around him became very active, seeming to change with the ups and downs of his emotions.
It is undoubtedly very unusual for such a situation to occur. It feels like all the rules of the world are derived from the short, thin old man.
From this point alone, it can be determined that the short and thin old man is not simple, and he is definitely not the weak casual cultivator he said.
"Who are you? Why have you survived on True Dragon Island for a long time?" Zhang Ruochen's expression looked extremely serious.
Xiao Hei looked puzzled and said: "The forbidden formation on True Dragon Island has just been broken open. How can this old guy survive on True Dragon Island for a long time?"
"You should feel it carefully. He has an extremely strong aura belonging to True Dragon Island, and he is incomparable with the rules of heaven and earth on True Dragon Island. The rules of heaven and earth almost revolve around him. If he hadn't survived on True Dragon Island for a very long time,
Time, it is simply impossible." Zhang Ruochen said solemnly.
Hearing this, Xiao Hei immediately sensed it carefully, and couldn't help showing surprise in his eyes, saying: "You old guy, how dare you deceive me, it seems that you won't tell the truth without giving you a little show of strength.
.”
Feeling that his IQ was insulted, Xiao Hei was about to get angry. He flapped his wings and released a ball of immortal fire, which fell on the short and thin old man.
"You can't bully honest people..., ah, help."
The short and thin old man shouted, which was earth-shattering.
Zhang Ruochen originally wanted to stop him. After all, he also wanted to get some valuable information from the short and thin old man.
But he soon discovered that although the short and thin old man screamed fiercely, he was not actually hurt. Even the linen clothes on his body were not burned. He did not know what material they were made of.
Xiao Hei also discovered this situation. Although it did not use all its strength, the immortal fire was not easily resisted. It would have to make the short, thin old man suffer a little.
Involuntarily, Xiao Hei added another element of anger, not believing that he would not be able to deal with this old guy.
"It's so hot. It's almost cooked. Stop it quickly. Help... You can't treat a defenseless old man like this." The short and thin old man screamed even more fiercely.
At the same time, the rules of the surrounding world became extremely active.
There was a strange look in Xiao Hei's eyes. It had released the immortal fire almost unreservedly, but it was actually unable to cause any harm to the short and thin old man. It could not even burn off a single hair.
With a wave of his wings, Xiao Hei condensed a ball of immortal fire and hit Zhang Ruochen.
"boom."
Zhang Ruochen took action instantly and punched out, scattering the flying immortal fire.
"Why are you so crazy?" Zhang Ruochen glared at Xiao Hei.
A look of embarrassment flashed in Xiao Hei's eyes, and he said: "I just want to see if there is something wrong with the Immortal Fire. The aura of this old guy is at most equivalent to a one- or two-step Saint King. There is no reason why he can carry it."
You can withstand the burning of this emperor’s immortal fire.”
The occurrence of such a situation was so unexpected to Xiao Hei that it even made him doubt the power of the Immortal Fire.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do about the short and thin old man, Xiao Hei had no choice but to take back the immortal fire, but he was thinking of other methods in his heart.
But at this moment, the short and thin old man somehow broke the shackles of the space threads, and his body escaped directly into the ground, disappearing without a trace.
"What's going on? Is that old guy a gopher?" Xiaohei's eyes widened.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes flashed, and his figure suddenly rushed out. With a wave of his hand, a powerful force of space was released, turning into a transparent silver chain, directly penetrating the rock and going deep into the ground.
"boom."
The hard rock shattered, and a large crack opened in the ground, extending for hundreds of miles.
When the silver chain stretched straight, the short and thin old man who had just escaped was pulled out of the ground.
Then, silver chains criss-crossed to form a spatial cage, locking the short and thin old man inside.
"boom."
Zhang Ruochen pulled the silver chain, and the space cage flew back directly and landed heavily on the ground.
The strong impact made the short, thin old man dizzy and somewhat confused about the situation.
Zhang Ruochen's expression became very serious. When he really looked at the short and thin old man, he could break free from the shackles of space threads and escape underground, hundreds of miles away in an instant. Can an ordinary holy king possess such means?
