Zhang Ruochen picked up "Sword One" again and read it mesmerically. He nodded while comprehending it. Every word in the book was like a sword, reflected in his mind.
In the following period, Zhang Ruochen still spent three hours a day practicing the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra", and the rest of the time was spent entirely on Jian Yi's practice.
Time flew by, and another three months passed. Zhang Ruochen made breakthroughs one after another, cultivating Jianyi to the fourth level in one fell swoop.
Even the green-clad star envoy of the seventh transformation of fish and dragon has only cultivated Jianyi to the fourth level. And she must have spent more than ten times more time on Jianyi than Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen has been practicing in seclusion for half a year in the world of Tujuan. He has finally completely consolidated his cultivation. The true energy in his body has become very pure, and his cultivation realm has expanded to the extreme.
"In my current state, I am at least 70% sure that I can open up the first holy vein on my own."
He was 70% sure, but it was still quite dangerous, but Zhang Ruochen decided to give it a try.
It took Zhang Ruochen a day to adjust his state and completely relax his mind before he started to hit the realm.
The holy vein is the foundation of the cultivation of the holy way.
The first three realms of the Fish-Dragon Realm are all about tempering the body and preparing for the opening of the Holy Veins. This is because the physical body of an ordinary warrior cannot withstand the impact of the Holy Qi.
Reaching the fourth transformation of fish and dragon and opening up the first holy vein is the beginning of the holy path in the true sense.
The first sacred vein, called the "Yin Qiao Sacred Vein", starts from the sea of qi between the warrior's eyebrows, passes through most of the body, connects to the left foot of the human body, and finally opens up the Zhaohai point at the bottom of the left foot.
By opening up the "Yin Qiao Sacred Vein", it can penetrate most of the warrior's body, making the warrior's cultivation a big step forward.
Zhang Ruochen mobilized the holy dragon's energy in the dragon beads, poured out from his heart, gathered into the sea of energy, and began to attack the entrance to the holy vein according to the guidance of the fifth level of the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra".
"boom!"
"boom!"
…
Every time the holy dragon's energy hits, a thunderous sound will sound in Zhang Ruochen's ears.
Other monks can ask semi-saints to help open the holy veins, which is relatively easy. But Zhang Ruochen cannot do this and can only rely on his own strength to forcibly open the holy veins.
After more than two hundred consecutive collisions, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of Zhang Ruochen's mouth, and his whole body was trembling, but he still did not open the entrance to the holy vein.
However, Zhang Ruochen did not give up. He drank a mouthful of Mu Ling Hong Chan to suppress his injuries, mobilized the energy of the holy dragon, and continued the collision.
After more than 1,300 consecutive collisions, Zhang Ruochen opened a gap at the entrance to the holy vein, controlled the holy dragon's energy, and slowly pushed forward.
Even if the holy dragon's energy only advances an inch, Zhang Ruochen will still have to endure the pain of tearing his body apart.
After spending half a day, Zhang Ruochen had only opened up one-tenth of the Yin Qiao Holy Veins. At this moment, blood beads had begun to appear from his pores, and the blood vessels all over his body were bulging.
To open the first holy vein, you must work hard. If you give up halfway, or the monk faints in the middle, then the chaotic holy energy will flow back.
In this way, even if the monk does not die, his whole body cultivation will be completely ruined.
It is for this reason that opening the first holy vein is so dangerous.
Zhang Ruochen used his strong willpower to support himself, and finally opened up half of the Yin Qiao Sacred Vein.
His whole body was numb with pain, and beads of blood emerged, rolling down from his forehead, neck, and arms, dyeing the white clothes on his body red.
This is a kind of pain that ordinary people cannot bear, enough to make people collapse and just want to give up immediately, even if they die immediately.
Even if I die, I don't want to suffer this kind of pain.
"I must persist and never give up. I can definitely do it."
Zhang Ruochen gritted his teeth, tensed his whole body, and began to pump his energy, continuing to pound downwards.
Just when he had opened ninety percent of the Yin Qi Holy Veins, the skin on the left side of his body had begun to crack, and blood lines like broken ceramics appeared.
It's very worrying. Will he blow himself up and die in the next moment?
Mu Lingxi was standing not far away, holding her breath and not daring to make a sound. She was extremely nervous, fearing that something might happen to Zhang Ruochen when he opened the first holy vein.
"He can definitely do it."
Mu Lingxi gritted her teeth and stared straight at Zhang Ruochen with a pair of eyes as beautiful as stars, without even blinking.
"boom!"
Suddenly, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth accelerated and flowed towards Zhang Ruochen, pouring into the Zhaohai point on the soles of his feet, passing through the Yinqiao Sacred Veins, and entering the Qi Sea.
When the spiritual energy of heaven and earth passes through the Yinqiu Holy Veins, it is transformed into a faint holy energy. Then, it pours out to the thirty-six meridians of the body and circulates in the body.
Gradually, the blood lines on the left side of Zhang Ruochen's body healed quickly.
The excruciating pain disappeared and was replaced by an indescribable feeling of relief.
The first holy vein, the Yinqiao Holy Vein, was successfully opened.
Zhang Ruochen finally reached the fourth transformation of fish and dragon.
The Yin Qiao Holy Vein can not only absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through Zhaohai Point, and convert the spiritual energy into holy energy. At the same time, it can also circulate in the body and transform the true energy in the body into holy energy.
Since the holy veins have been opened up, the holy energy can naturally be mobilized to perform martial arts.
If you use holy energy to perform martial arts, you don’t know how powerful it can be?
"Dragon Elephant Divine Furnace."
Zhang Ruochen rushed up from the ground and flew into the air. His whole body seemed to turn into red-hot iron, exuding hot masculine energy.
With one palm strike, a seven-foot-long flame handprint immediately shot out, shooting straight into the sky and shaking the clouds away.
"Wow."
After landing on the ground, Zhang Ruochen looked at his palms and said happily: "Using the holy energy to perform martial arts has indeed doubled the power of the martial arts."
However, the monks in the fourth transformation of fish and dragon only opened up a holy vein, and the holy energy in their bodies was quite thin. Just like just now, Zhang Ruochen completely exhausted the holy energy in his body with just one palm strike.
Only by continuing to operate the skills and converting the true energy into holy energy can such a powerful force be exploded again.
Only by breaking through to the fifth transformation of the fish-dragon and opening up a second holy vein can the transformation speed of the holy energy become faster.
"Congratulations! Congratulations! Zhang Ruochen, your willpower is really strong. You actually opened up the first holy vein with just your own strength. It's hard not to admire you."
A beautiful smile appeared on Mu Lingxi's pretty face, and she walked up to Zhang Ruochen with elegant steps and a faint scent of fragrance.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at her, showing a strange expression, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Duanmu, you have also broken through to the sixth transformation of fish and dragon, which is equally gratifying. I also admire your speed of cultivation."
Mu Lingxi rolled her eyes at Zhang Ruochen and said: "My cultivation has already reached the peak of the fifth transformation of fish and dragon. After obtaining the Holy Source, I practiced in seclusion in this picture scroll world for half a year. If I still can't break through to the level of fish,
The dragon’s sixth transformation is a strange thing.”
"If you put all your energy into cultivation, your cultivation speed will definitely be faster than mine."
Although Zhang Ruochen had been in seclusion for half a year, he spent most of the time practicing the Instant Sword Technique and comprehending Sword One, and did not spend much time improving his cultivation.
Zhang Ruochen seemed indifferent and said with a smile: "Whether it's the holy way or the way of swordsmanship, as long as you cross the threshold, the rest will naturally be much easier."
"Kung Fu and martial arts complement each other. Next, I'm afraid I will have to spend a lot of time studying the way of swordsmanship and practicing martial arts." Mu Lingxi said.
Suddenly, the smile on her face disappeared, her eyes became serious, and she said: "What are your plans next? I heard from Xiao Hei that you want to disguise yourself as Lin Yue, a disciple of Liangyi Sect, and go to Liangyi Sect.
Zong Cha something?"
Zhang Ruochen didn't hide it from her and said, "I do have this plan."
Mu Lingxi reminded: "There are many masters of Liangyi Sect. Even if you use top-notch disguise skills, I'm afraid you won't be able to hide it from the eyes of the semi-saint. Is it too risky for you to do this?"
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "Believe me, I have a sense of proportion. If I am not more than 70% sure, I will not make fun of my own life."
Zhang Ruochen is a cautious person. Mu Lingxi saw that he was so confident and expected that he must have very clever means to hide the secrets from semi-saints and even saints. Therefore, she no longer worried about him.
Mu Lingxi smiled with bright eyes and white teeth, and said: "Okay! On the ninth day of September, I will go to the Liangyi Sect to find you again."
"Are you about to leave?" Zhang Ruochen was slightly startled.
Mu Lingxi has a very cheerful personality and is quite optimistic. When she is with her, Zhang Ruochen will feel an indescribable sense of relaxation.
Moreover, every time Zhang Ruochen encounters danger or needs help, no matter how powerful the enemy is, she will stand up without hesitation and face the danger with Zhang Ruochen.
It was as if she had been following Zhang Ruochen, always paying attention to Zhang Ruochen, and would appear immediately whenever Zhang Ruochen needed her.
She is like a confidante with a cheerful personality who can resolve the gloom in Zhang Ruochen's heart. At the same time, she is like a close friend who can fight side by side with Zhang Ruochen.
No matter how hard-hearted a man is, he cannot remain indifferent to the feelings she gives.
Mu Lingxi was about to leave, so Zhang Ruochen was naturally a little reluctant to leave, with a slight sense of loss in his heart. However, he buried that emotion deeply in his heart and did not show it.
Mu Lingxi's eyes blinked slightly, looking at the Heaven-Connecting Divine Tree not far away, and said: "The picture scroll world of the Qiankun Divine Tree is an excellent holy land for retreat. If I had a choice, I would not
Leave. Unfortunately, I am not a hermit who is indifferent to fame and wealth, but a saint who worships the Moon God Sect. It has been a long time since I came out this time, and I must go back!"
Mu Lingxi was obviously more sad than Zhang Ruochen, but she also hid her emotions in her heart and did not show them too much.
"There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever."
Zhang Ruochen showed a warm smile, let out a long breath, and then seemed to remember something, frowned slightly, and asked: "On the ninth day of September, are you going to Liang Yi Sect too?"
