No matter how noisy the outside world is, there is silence in the valley deep in Wangshan Mountain. Everyone is immersed in cultivation. In troubled times, strength is the basis for survival.
"Uh-huh."
Zhang Ruochen suddenly opened his eyes, and pure white flames rose from his body.
By refining the King's Holy Pill and refining the top-level fire-attribute divine item, Zhang Ruochen finally fulfilled his wish to extinguish the divine fire and transformed from a minister's flame into an emperor's flame.
There is an essential difference between the emperor's flame and the minister's flame, and their power is completely different. Even the king's weapon may be refined without fail.
The millions of Taoist rules in Yanshen's legs have all been refined, and the divine power contained in them is extremely terrifying.
In addition, Zhang Ruochen also refined all five top-level Five Elements divine objects into his physical body, cultivating the Five Elements Chaos Body to the extreme. Except for the most fragile organs and brain, the body has almost completed immortality.
As long as he is willing and spends a little time, he can cast the immortal body and break through to the immortal realm.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Ruochen to do this now. The more accumulated in the Holy King Realm, the stronger he will be when he enters the Great Holy Realm. According to his idea, whether it is the rules of the Holy Way or the immortalization of the body, he must reach the level of the Holy King.
The limits of the environment.
"The transformation of the Pure Fire Divine Fire is indeed not easy. With the help of the King's Holy Pill and the top-level fire-attribute divine objects, it actually took me twenty-eight years. Fortunately, I got enough sacred stones on True Dragon Island. Otherwise, it would be impossible to say
I can only give up halfway." Zhang Ruochen said with emotion.
In his plan, he should be able to transform the Pure Fire into the Emperor Flame in about ten years, but unexpectedly, it ended up taking nearly three times as long.
After taking the Divine Fire of Purification back into his body, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but whisper: "Unfortunately, the form of the Realm of Truth has not been successfully condensed. It is still a little bit behind. Without the secret method of the Temple of Truth, it is indeed very difficult to condense it."
In these years, the rules of truth in Zhang Ruochen's body have grown to 680,000, which is still a full 200,000 rules away from reaching ten times the attack power. However, if the truth realm cannot be condensed, even if the number of rules reaches
, and still cannot explode ten times the attack power.
For any kind of holy way, the total number of rules that can be cultivated in the Holy King Realm is one million. The further you go, the more difficult it becomes to practice.
Because of this, even if Zhang Ruochen possesses 39% of the secret of truth, the speed of practicing the rules of truth is far from what it was before.
Relying on various treasures to assist cultivation and the influence of the Key to the World Gate, Zhang Ruochen gained 15 million rules of the holy way during this retreat, bringing the total number to 60 million.
Among them, space rules have increased to 610,000, time rules have increased to 570,000, kendo rules have increased to 880,000, palm rules have increased to 790,000, and boxing rules have increased to 770,000.
of improvement.
With Zhang Ruochen's current strength, if he faced the Great Sage Jin Hui again, he should be able to defeat him without risking the power of time and space.
Turning his eyes, Zhang Ruochen scanned the people around him and couldn't help but nodded secretly.
In twenty-eight years, coupled with the sufficient training resources he provided, everyone's cultivation strength has been greatly improved.
In particular, the Sky-Swallowing Rabbit and the Demonic Ape have now reached the Dao realm, and can be considered strong in any big world.
During this period, Xiao Hei has also completed the arrangement of the formation, turning the valley into a real holy land for cultivation, and at the same time ensuring that the key to the world gate is foolproof.
Zhang Ruochen did not interfere with everyone's cultivation, put away the sundial, and left the valley alone.
There are only seven sacred stones left on him, so keep them for now, maybe they can be put to other uses.
A ray of blue holy light flew out from Zhang Ruochen's sleeve and transformed into a giant blue dragon that was hundreds of miles long, exuding vast dragon power.
It is the Holy Blue Sky Dragon that Zhou Yu spent a lot of effort to capture from the wild secret realm. It is an ancient relic. Its bloodline is extremely powerful and is not inferior to the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon. Its cultivation strength is far beyond that of the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Dragon.
Better than the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon.
However, Zhou Yu was not able to truly subdue the Blue Sky Holy Dragon, but Zhang Ruochen succeeded in subduing it now.
There are two main reasons why the Blue Sky Holy Dragon surrendered.
Firstly, it was naturally because Zhang Ruochen was powerful enough to suppress the Qingtian Holy Dragon from even thinking of resisting.
The second reason is because of the Dragon Transformation Grass, which has a fatal temptation for the Blue Sky Holy Dragon.
After refining the Dragon Transformation Grass, the divine dragon bloodline in Qingtian Holy Dragon's body was fully stimulated, and it was already on the verge of achieving a true dragon physique.
The so-called true dragon refers to a divine dragon that has not yet become a god. Since the Middle Ages, only Ao Xinyan has been the only one in Kunlun Realm who has cultivated a pure true dragon physique. Therefore, he was favored by the taboo figure in the Yin and Yang Sea.
Although the Blue Sky Holy Dragon has not yet cultivated into a true dragon body, his own strength has improved a lot. If he fights with that Zhou Yu again, he may not be defeated.
"Da da."
Footsteps sounded.
A skinny old man appeared out of nowhere, staring at the Holy Dragon in the blue sky with green eyes.
"What a plump dragon. It must taste very good."
While speaking, the old man licked his lips and his saliva almost flowed out.
After hearing these words, the Blue Sky Holy Dragon suddenly became furious, descended from the sky, and landed in front of the old man, spitting out terrifying dragon breath.
The old man looked like he was about to die, but in fact he was extremely agile. He instantly backed up and distanced himself from the Blue Sky Holy Dragon. At the same time, he turned his gaze to Zhang Ruochen aside and shouted strangely: "Zhang Ruochen, you are optimistic about your dragon. It scares me."
Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly and looked at the old man with evil eyes. He wanted to beat him up, but he restrained himself in the end.
This was the third time he saw this old man in Wangshan. The first time was when something happened in Wangshan, when he just emerged from the ground and claimed to be a tomb robber. The second time, he actually wanted to attack a group of people.
The female saint administered the medicine, and even Baihua Fairy almost fell victim to it.
It's a pity that the old man is too slippery, and Zhang Ruochen can't do anything even if he uses all his methods.
Even now, Zhang Ruochen still can't see through the old man. He doesn't know where he comes from, let alone what level of cultivation strength he has reached.
"Old guy, why are you still in Wangshan?" Zhang Ruochen asked with an unkind look.
The old man chuckled and said, "Didn't I tell you last time? I am the guardian of the Zhang family. The ancestral land of the Zhang family is here, so I naturally want to stay here."
"Since you don't want to tell the truth, I can only offend you." Zhang Ruochen's eyes became sharp in vain.
While speaking, Zhang Ruochen had already mobilized the rules of space, released the space field, and completely restricted the space of hundreds of miles in radius.
Today is different from the past. With his current cultivation strength, he can still fight even the great sage in the late immortal stage.
"Roar."
The blue sky holy dragon roared and also launched an attack on the old man.
A huge and sharp dragon claw protruded out like lightning, condensing into a whirlpool of wind and clouds, blocking all the old man's escape routes.
"Wow, Zhang Ruochen, what do you want to do?"
The old man let out a strange scream and dodged as fast as he could.
What surprised Zhang Ruochen was that the old man was still able to move freely, seemingly unaffected at all, even though he had completely restricted the space for hundreds of miles.
Surprised, Zhang Ruochen mobilized a large number of space rules, unleashed a space storm, and swept towards the old man.
The space storm affected a very wide range and arrived instantly, making it impossible for the old man to dodge.
The old man still didn't use any holy magic, but he used his flesh and blood body to shake the space storm.
"boom."
The space storm was torn apart by the old man and quickly subsided.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ruochen's eyelids jumped sharply. With his current spatial attainments, he unleashed a spatial storm that even an ordinary immortal saint could not withstand, but was so easily broken by this old man.
How can it be?
Before, he suspected that the old man was the top Nine-Step Saint King, but now it seems that he still seriously underestimated him.
No wonder the old man said he couldn't leave Wangshan for fear of being discovered. With his strength, he would indeed not be allowed to stay in the Kunlun Realm.
Zhang Ruochen stopped and asked extremely seriously: "You are not a holy king at all, nor a person of this world. Tell me, who are you?"
He had already figured out that the old man should be an awakened person. When they first met, he should have just awakened from the underground.
Moreover, the old man is not an ordinary awakened person, he is extremely powerful, at least at the level of a great saint.
The once inconspicuous Wangshan Mountain has become a place of awakening, and even awakened people have been born. It is really incredible.
"I'm a member of the Zhang family just like you. If you have something to say, why do you need to take action? My old arms and legs can't stand the trouble." The old man said with a smile while beating his waist.
Qingtian Shenglong also saw how powerful the old man was, and couldn't help but retreat to Zhang Ruochen's side, watching him warily.
"Boom."
While the two sides were confronting each other, a huge movement suddenly came from the depths of Wangshan Mountain.
Zhang Ruochen immediately turned his head and looked over, with a strange look in his eyes, saying: "The folding space has been further opened, and Wangshan has become wider."
In the blink of an eye, the old man disappeared without a trace, and he didn't know where he went.
Zhang Ruochen used the space field to perceive, but was unable to find any trace of the old man.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Ruochen put the Blue Sky Holy Dragon into his sleeve, then used Space Movement to move deep into Wangshan Mountain.
With his current strength, he is already qualified to explore this folded space. Even if there is any danger, he is sure to protect himself.
The holy energy of heaven and earth in the depths of King Mountain is even more intense, almost to the point of being indissoluble, and mixed with many divine energies of heaven and earth, creating a sacred scene.
As soon as he entered the depths of Wangshan Mountain, Zhang Ruochen was attracted by something.
On a rock wall, there is a huge green dragon, hundreds of feet long, breathing the holy energy of heaven and earth.
That green dragon is not a real dragon, but a sacred medicine.
If it were an ordinary holy medicine, even a hundred thousand year old holy medicine, it would be difficult to attract Zhang Ruochen's attention, but this Panlong Vine was different, it was a Yuanhui holy medicine.
As if sensing the aura of the Coiling Dragon Vine, the Blue Sky Holy Dragon immediately poked his head out of Zhang Ruochen's sleeves and stared at the Coiling Dragon Vine with burning eyes.
"Master, I want to get it." Qingtian Holy Dragon said excitedly.
Zhang Ruochen certainly knows that the Panlong Vine is of greatest use to the Dragon Clan, as it can improve the Dragon Clan in all aspects.
However, Panlongteng is a very aggressive Yuanhui holy medicine, and most people have no choice but to do anything about it.
Zhang Ruochen has already sensed that the aura of this coiling dragon vine is extremely powerful and ferocious, and it is definitely difficult to deal with.
"Roar."
At this moment, the Panlong Vine suddenly let out an earth-shattering dragon roar, and rushed towards Zhang Ruochen with its teeth and claws bared.
"Uh-huh."
The Blue Sky Holy Dragon immediately flew out of Zhang Ruochen's sleeves, rose up in the wind, and collided with the Coiling Dragon Vine that was coming towards him.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen took steps and continued walking into the depths of the folding space, not worrying at all that the Blue Sky Holy Dragon Society would not be able to clean up the Coiled Dragon Vine.
Wherever they go, a large number of holy medicines grow, and most of them are very old. They are of the highest quality among the holy medicines, and even the Holy King can use them.
Zhang Ruochen even discovered three hundred-thousand-year-old holy medicines, each of which was extremely rare and extremely valuable. Even the Nine-Step Saint King would be eager to get it.
However, Zhang Ruochen did not go out to pick them. Anyway, Wangshan Mountain was blocked and he was not afraid of them escaping.
Zhang Ruochen has handed over the Seven Dragon Pill Furnace to Xiao Hei. Using these high-quality holy medicines, he should be able to refine many high-level pills.
After passing through several sacred mountains, Zhang Ruochen stopped.
In front of him, an extremely special area appeared, shrouded in brilliant nine-color divine light. It was extremely sacred, like a pure land.
For some reason, Zhang Ruochen's heart became extremely calm as soon as he got close to him, and he felt a sense of tranquility.
Through the nine-color divine light, Zhang Ruochen saw many low mountains. They were so densely packed that it was impossible to see the end. He didn't know how many there were in total.
Every mountain is very special, with a huge tombstone standing in front of it. It is shrouded in extremely ancient rules of the Great Sage, making it impossible to see its true form, and exudes an extremely tyrannical aura of the Great Sage.
"Are these the tombs of the great sage?"
Zhang Ruochen was shocked.
In the royal tomb forest of the Shengming Zhang family, the nine tombs belonging to the great sage ancestors are similar to the scene of these low mountains.
Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Ruochen could no longer calm down, because there were thousands of graves just visible to his eyes.
Doesn't it mean that at least thousands of great saints are buried here?
Could it be that at a certain period in the Kunlun Realm, all the great saints died here and their bones were buried here? However, this is simply impossible.
The aura of the great sage is strong and powerful. Even after death, it is still very powerful and will not dissipate over the long years.
With full of doubts in his heart, Zhang Ruochen walked forward, but as soon as he got close to the nine-color divine light, circles of space ripples appeared under his feet, and waves of terrifying holy power came towards him, as if they were going to tear him apart.
into pieces.
Just when Zhang Ruochen wanted to fight, his own bloodline suddenly changed, and the holy power that came from the attack was inexplicably dissipated.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen felt that the pressure was greatly reduced and he felt much more relaxed.
"What's going on? Why did the great sage's pressure recede like a tide? Just now, the blood in my body seemed to be throbbing like never before." Zhang Ruochen had some vague speculation in his heart.
Involuntarily, he stepped forward again, expending a lot of effort, and finally arrived at the foot of a low mountain.
In front of this low mountain, there is a stone tablet with some complicated words engraved on it, which do not belong to the contemporary world.
"It has such an ancient aura. The characters above should be from the medieval era and contain the charm of the Great Sage. However, there is an invisible force shrouding the surface of the writing. With my holy eyes, I can only make out a rough outline.
The outline is a bit blurry and difficult to see clearly.”
Looking at the stone tablet in front of him, Zhang Ruochen couldn't calm down.
Immediately, he released his powerful mental power, touched the words on the stone tablet, and began to decipher them.
What surprised Zhang Ruochen was that this kind of writing was more obscure than he expected. With his current mental strength, it was extremely difficult to decipher it.
After mobilizing his mental power with all his strength, Zhang Ruochen finally deciphered the words on the stone tablet.
"The Tomb of Beihao Saint Lord Zhang Lin."
Zhang Ruochen's eyes narrowed and he said: "It's really the tomb of the Great Sage. This..."
There are thousands of tombs of the great sage. This is so amazing. If you tell me, no one will believe it.
"Bei Hao Shengjun, Zhang Lin, why does this name make me feel familiar?" Zhang Ruochen had a strange look on his face.
Involuntarily, Zhang Ruochen moved his steps and came to a nearby tomb. He mobilized his mental power to wrap the tombstone in front of him.
"The Tomb of Xuanying Emperor Zhang Tianshu."
Zhang Ruochen looked thoughtful and muttered in a low voice: "Zhang Lin, Zhang Tianshu,..."
"Zhang Lin, Zhang Tianshu, aren't these the names of the two great sage ancestors from the Middle Ages recorded in my Zhang family tree?" Zhang Ruochen suddenly remembered.
The Zhang family in the Central Region has an extremely glorious history. Great sage-level powerful men have been born in every dynasty. To this day, dozens of statues of great sage ancestors are enshrined in the ancestral halls of the emperors.
Turning his hands, Zhang Ruochen took out something, which was the long-standing genealogy of the Zhang family.
The ancestral genealogy is not complete, only half of it.
Not long after, he found the names Zhang Lin and Zhang Tianshu on the family tree. They both left a profound mark in the history of the Zhang family.
"Is this really the legendary ancestral land of the Zhang family?" Zhang Ruochen was so shocked that he could no longer remain calm.
He once read an ancient book, which mentioned that the Zhang family had an ancestral land, but it was destroyed at the end of the Middle Ages and could never be found by future generations.
In this way, are the Zhang family of Yunwu County and the Zhang family of the Central Region Saints really of the same lineage?
However, there are so many tombs of the Great Saint here, are they all buried with the ancestors of the Zhang family?
