Chapter 778: On the ninth day of September, sword cultivators gather together
p>The conversation with Xue Wuye naturally had a considerable impact on Zhang Ruochen.
Since Xue Wuye could guess that he and Chi Yao probably had an extraordinary relationship. Others must have guessed this too, but Zhang Ruochen was already dead, so they didn't pursue it deliberately.
However, as long as the news spreads that Zhang Ruochen is not dead, many people will dig out the secret behind it, and eventually, they will find out who the Crown Prince Shengming was eight hundred years ago.
Xue Wuye is a smart person and will not do anything that harms others or himself. If he wanted to spread the news, he would have done so long ago and would never wait until now.
It's very possible that as of now, he doesn't know whether Zhang Ruochen is an enemy or a friend?
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen is not too worried now. Everything is allowed to develop naturally, and there will definitely be a result in the future.
Zhang Ruochen came to Xuanji Sword Master's residence and wanted to meet Huang Yanchen. After all, after the Sword Discussion Conference, the two of them would definitely have fewer opportunities to meet.
However, he learned that Huang Yanchen was in seclusion refining a drop of Dragon Emperor's blood in preparation for the eighth transformation of fish and dragon, so he did not disturb her.
On this day, Zhang Ruochen spent all his time teaching Han Xue his sword skills. It was not until the next day, the night of the eighth day of September, that he returned to the sword pavilion again.
On the first floor of Jiange, there is room No. 18 with the character Qing.
This is a huge palace that is hundreds of feet long and wide. It looks magnificent and extremely spacious. The top ten kendo geniuses in each realm determined by the kendo competition are all gathered here.
Gai Tianjiao, Candong, Zhao Wuyan, Han Qiu, Gai Hao, Mu Jiji, Xun Hualiu... there are dozens of people in total, all of them are the top swordsmanship geniuses of Liangyi Sect.
Everyone stood below and saluted the Moon Burial Sword Master at the same time, saying in unison: "Greetings to the Sword Master."
The Moon Burial Sword Saint sat cross-legged on the high platform in the center of the palace, wearing a purple shirt and a purple gold Taoist crown. He looked quite majestic and said: "Tomorrow is the Sword Discussion Conference. You are the disciples of the Holy Tradition.
The best among them will represent the Liang Yi Sect and participate in this grand event. After the recent period of practice, everyone’s strength has made great progress, and I believe they are all ready."
Next, the Moon Burial Sword Master gave another lecture before letting everyone retreat, leaving Gai Tianjiao and Zhang Ruochen alone.
The Moon Burial Sword Master looked very serious and said: "The sword competition has indeed selected some elite talents, but unfortunately, they are still too immature. Tomorrow's battle will mainly depend on the performance of the two of you."
"Disciples must go all out and defend the honor of Liangyi Sect to the death." Gai Tianjiao said.
"Disciple will definitely do his best to protect the sword pavilion." Zhang Ruochen said.
Moon Burial Sword Master nodded, looked at Gai Tianjiao, and asked: "Tianjiao, how many drops of divine blood have you refined in total?"
"Counting the three drops in the divine spring, five drops have been refined." Gai Tianjiao said.
The Moon Burial Sword Master said: "Tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony, do you want to drink the sixth drop?"
Gai Tianjiao smiled slightly and said: "If I hadn't swallowed the divine spring, I could try to refine another drop of divine blood.
"However, now that my cultivation has reached the ultimate level of the fish and dragon realm, once I start refining the divine blood, I will definitely be unable to suppress the realm. In an instant, I will break through to the semi-saint realm. Breaking through to the semi-saint realm, I will then use the divine blood to
Refining has little meaning, but is a waste."
The more divine blood that monks in the Fish and Dragon Realm refine, the greater the benefits. The key is that the holy soul has not yet taken shape. In this way, the divine seal that has been cultivated can be integrated into the holy soul.
The more divine seals integrated into the holy soul, the more powerful it will be, and the more sensitive the perception of the holy way will be. If the holy soul is controlled and the power of the divine seal is exerted, it is enough to crush the semi-saints of the same realm.
But after reaching the semi-saint realm, the holy soul has already taken shape. Even if the divine blood is refined and the divine seal is cultivated, it cannot be integrated into the holy soul.
Of course, if the demi-saint refines enough divine blood, he can become a saint physically.
However, even the divine blood stored by medieval aristocratic families is quite rare. It is already quite good to be able to use a few drops in each era to train the best fish and dragon monks and lay a certain foundation for him in the holy way.
How can there be so much divine blood to cultivate a physical saint?
As the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade, mainly because there is too little good steel. If there is enough good steel, who wouldn’t want to build a peerless sword?
The Moon Burial Sword Master looked towards Zhang Ruochen and said, "Lin Yue, you haven't started refining the divine blood yet, have you?"
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said: "That's right."
The Moon Burial Sword Master took out a three-inch square metal box from his sleeve, pushed it gently with his palm, turned into a force of wind, and flew towards Zhang Ruochen, saying: "This is a drop of divine blood. Tomorrow
, the sacrificial ceremony before the start of the Sword Discussion Conference, you can take this opportunity to refine it with the help of the power of the gods."
Zhang Ruochen caught the metal box and moved his lips, as if he was about to speak but stopped.
The Moon Burial Sword Master naturally noticed something was wrong with Zhang Ruochen's demeanor, so he asked, "What's wrong? Do you have any questions?"
"Just one drop?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
The Moon Burial Sword Master was startled at first, and then smiled: "This time, you try it first. If you can refine it, it will be a good thing. If you can't refine it, don't blame yourself for wasting a drop of divine blood. Wait until
If you break through the ninth transformation of fish and dragon, the sect will naturally give you another drop. The sect is never stingy with geniuses."
Zhang Ruochen asked: "Could it be that disciples can't refine two drops at once?"
Hearing this, Gai Tianjiao, who was standing aside, laughed out loud first and said: "Junior Brother Lin Yue, Senior Sister knows that you are a genius, but you may not know how huge the power contained in the divine blood is. If so,
, you were able to successfully refine a drop of divine blood in the eighth transformation of fish and dragon, which is already a quite remarkable achievement. You actually want to refine two drops at once?"
"Is there no one who can refine two drops of divine blood at once?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Gai Tianjiao shook his head and said: "In the entire Kunlun world, the number of fish and dragon monks who can refine two drops of divine blood can be counted on ten fingers. Most of the time it takes one or two years to refine the first drop of divine blood.
Time, adapting to the power of the divine seal in the body, and constantly tempering the body, can then refine the second drop of divine blood."
"The character who refined two drops of divine blood at once has never appeared again since the Middle Ages."
The Moon Burial Sword Master also said: "Lin Yue, don't be too ambitious first. High talent in swordsmanship does not mean that you can withstand the power of divine blood. A drop of divine blood can be dropped on a hundred-marked sacred weapon and it can penetrate it.
Through, you can imagine how terrifying the power it contains is? Could your body be harder than the Hundred Pattern Sacred Artifact?"
Zhang Ruochen looked at the metal box in his hand and asked, "Since the power of divine blood is so powerful, how can a monk refine it?"
When the Moon Burial Sword Saint saw Zhang Ruochen starting to ask questions modestly, he immediately nodded with satisfaction and said, "Tonight, I will teach you the method of refining divine blood."
In the following time, the Moon Burial Sword Master told Zhang Ruochen the method of refining the divine blood and some precautions.
It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Zhang Ruochen had everything under control.
Later, the Moon Burial Sword Master led Zhang Ruochen to the square outside the sword pavilion, and walked upward step by step until he reached the top of the altar.
On the altar, there are thousands of wild beasts, which are bound with iron chains. Later, when the sacrificial ceremony begins, they will all be killed, and their blood will be used to open the Heaven and Earth Divine Bridge and communicate with the gods.
Following the instructions of the Moon Burial Sword Master, Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged at the bottom of a pool seven feet long and wide at the center of the top of the altar.
"Remember, refining divine blood is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will die. If you feel that your body cannot withstand the power of divine blood, you must immediately cut off the connection with divine blood." The Moon Burial Sword Master repeatedly warned.
.
"Disciple understands."
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and began to adjust his state of mind.
Moon Burial Sword Master stared at Zhang Ruochen at the bottom of the pool, took a deep breath, and hoped in his heart that Zhang Ruochen could refine the divine blood, so that he could have the strength to compete with Shao Lin. Otherwise, he would
Defeat is inevitable.
Of course, Moon Burial Sword Master kept all these words in his heart and did not say them out for fear of putting too much pressure on Zhang Ruochen and harming him instead.
Immediately, the Moon Buried Sword Master walked off the altar and walked towards the gate outside the square to greet the guests attending the sword discussion conference.
The sky gradually brightened, and a hundred-foot-long five-color holy ship, wrapped in a cloud of colorful rays of light, flew from a distance, passed through the mountains of the ancient sacred mountain, and landed on the top of the third mountain.
Sword cultivators who participated in the sword discussion conference came down from the five-color holy ship in an endless stream, entered the square outside the sword pavilion, and gathered in various directions around the altar.
Wushi Bank, the Imperial Court, the Ministry of War, the Four Symbols Sect, the Demon Sect, the Bagua Sect... the top forces in the entire Kunlun world are all led by saint-level sword cultivators.
In addition, there are also some casual cultivators with extremely high levels of swordsmanship who received invitations from the Liangyi Sect and became guests of the Sword Discussion Conference.
There is no doubt that the monks who can come to the Sword Pavilion are either first-class geniuses, semi-saints, saint-level overlords, and even some old swordsmen who have lived for a long time, all of them appeared at the Sword Discussion Conference.
.
After all, during the Sword Discussion Conference, saint-level sword cultivators can enter the seventh floor of the sword pavilion and study the wordless sword manual together. This alone has an irresistible attraction for those swordsmanship veterans.
"Look, Jiuyou Sword Master has appeared. It is said that today he will have a life-and-death battle with General Xuanji. I don't know who will be the last one alive?"
The younger generation of sword cultivators were all excited when they saw the Jiuyou Sword Master.
If it weren't for the Sword Discussion Conference, they would probably never see a sword master in their lifetime, but today, several sword masters have appeared, and each of them is a world-famous figure.
Jiuyou Sword Master was wearing blue-grey cloth and a pair of simple straw sandals. He looked extremely ordinary. There was no aura that a strong man should have on him.
In addition, there are the five major disciples of Jiuyou Sword Master, saint-level sword cultivators and semi-saint-level sword cultivators from the black market in the Eastern Region, and some swordsman geniuses from the Fish and Dragon Realm. There are nearly a hundred people in total, following Jiuyou Sword Master.
Behind them, they all appeared together.
Not long after, Xuanji Sword Master led the sword cultivators from the Eastern Territory Holy Academy and also appeared in the sword pavilion.
The Five Colored Holy Ship received more and more sword cultivators, making the sword pavilion more and more lively. From time to time, legendary characters appeared, causing a huge sensation.
Everyone gathered under the altar. Conchs, horns, bells, chimes... and various ritual instruments began to play together? The sacrificial ceremony of the Sword Discussion Conference was finally about to begin.
