Twenty-four days have passed in the outside world, but more than two months have passed in the inner space of the space-time crystal.
The cultivation of the false god's body went smoothly as never before, and was more perfect than Zhang Ruochen expected.
In his last life, Zhang Ruochen had not cultivated the body of a false god. After all, with his identity in his previous life, any cultivation resources he wanted were at his fingertips, and there was no need to plunder the power of sacrifices.
Zhang Ruochen was overjoyed that his first practice was so successful.
In order to cultivate the body of a false god, Zhang Ruochen's martial soul was fused with a total of sixty-three drops of semi-saint blood and three divine grasses. With the strength of his current martial soul, it has surpassed the martial soul of a Dzogchen Realm warrior.
As long as he releases his martial spirit, everything in the palace will appear in his mind, as if he saw it with his own eyes.
"In the entire palace, there are actually four martial arts myths in the Tianji realm. The royal family's background is indeed not as simple as it seems."
Zhang Ruochen felt four powerful auras in the palace, and the most powerful aura came from the Tianzi Mountain deep in the palace. That aura was much more powerful than Prince Yunwu.
Zhang Ruochen took back his martial spirit and did not dare to disturb the four Tianji realm martial arts myths rashly. After all, the spiritual power of Tianji realm warriors exceeded level 20 and their perception ability was very strong. If Zhang Ruochen's martial spirit got too close to them, they would definitely be discovered.
"Now I use my martial spirit to control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and use the "Thunder and Lightning Strike". With just one blow, I should be able to kill the demon sect witch from back then."
Zhang Ruochen was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, exuding an extremely powerful aura from his body, and even a huge golden halo appeared above his head, just like a young god sitting cross-legged in the center of the world.
You must know that the martial soul is the soul of the warrior. Since Zhang Ruochen's martial soul becomes stronger, the spiritual will that invisibly emanates from his body will also become stronger.
In other words, as long as Zhang Ruochen uses the power of martial arts, even just staring at him can suppress ordinary earth-level martial arts masters.
In fact, the false god's body refers to Zhang Ruochen's martial spirit, not Zhang Ruochen's physical body.
"Wow!"
Zhang Ruochen took back his martial spirit, and the powerful aura that had escaped outside his body immediately converged into his body like a tide and disappeared invisible.
Zhang Ruochen now looks completely restrained and no longer has the powerful aura he had just now.
As long as he doesn't deliberately release his martial spirit, outsiders can't detect his changes at all.
"The martial arts cultivation level has indeed improved a bit, but in order to break through to the late stage of the Earthly Realm, we still need to borrow the power of sacrifices."
Zhang Ruochen stood up, walked out of the inner space of the space-time crystal, and walked towards Yushu Palace.
"The Ninth Prince's retreat is over!"
The two young palace maids rushed to spread the news to Concubine Lin.
Almost in a hurry, Zhang Ruochen walked into Gongwan and saluted Concubine Lin: "I have met my mother."
Not only Concubine Lin, Huang Yanchen was actually sitting next to Concubine Lin, making tea for Concubine Lin. She was sitting on the ground leisurely. Her movements were very elegant, and she was as beautiful as a painting.
Zhang Ruochen was amazed that the usually fiery-tempered Senior Sister Huang could actually be so quiet at such a quiet time, fully displaying the temperament of a noble royal princess.
"Crash!"
Seeing Zhang Ruochen walk in, Huang Yanchen stretched out two jade fingers and picked up a tea cup. He filled a cup of hot tea and offered it to Zhang Ruochen with both hands.
Zhang Ruochen was slightly startled when he saw Huang Yanchen's gentle look, then took the tea cup and took a sip.
When hot tea enters the body, the meridians and blood vessels in the body seem to be completely opened. The pores relax, and the whole body feels indescribably comfortable, as if every cell is breathing.
“Great tea!”
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and felt that his brain was clear and the flow of infuriating energy within him increased a bit faster.
For warriors, the effect of this tea is not very good.
But for ordinary people like Concubine Lin, the effect of this cup of tea is more beneficial than those of Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng.
Moreover, the medicinal power of the tea is mild, and for ordinary people, it is simply like nectar and jade dew. If drank for a long time, it will definitely prolong life and make the physical strength of ordinary people reach the level of Huang Ji Realm warriors.
Huang Yanchen had a smile on his face and his voice was as sweet as the sound of nature. He said: "This tea is called Baiheye. I sent someone to bring it from Qianshui County. They brought a total of thirty kilograms, which is enough for the queen to drink for ten years."
Zhang Ruochen put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Huang is actually a master of tea ceremony. I didn't notice it before..."
Concubine Lin was a little unhappy and said: "Since you are already engaged, how can you still call me senior sister? Princess Yanchen is a virtuous and gentle woman. Not only is she beautiful, but her family background is also extremely prominent. You don't know what happened to you.
Only with good luck can you win the favor of Princess Yanchen. From now on, you must treat her well, otherwise, I will never let you go."
Concubine Lin fell in love with Huang Yanchen more and more. She felt that Huang Yanchen was a fairy daughter in the sky, as perfect as jade without any flaws. Even when she was sleeping, Concubine Lin thought that she had such a beautiful and elegant daughter-in-law, and she also
You can't help but wake up laughing.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Don't worry, mother, Princess Yanchen and I have always had a very good relationship."
Huang Yanchen glanced at Zhang Ruochen gently, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I'll take my leave first."
"Chen'er, why don't you go see Princess Yisong off?" Concubine Lin glared at Zhang Ruochen with a look that was filled with resentment.
Zhang Ruochen smiled, stood up, made a gesture of invitation to Huang Yanchen, and said: "Your Highness, please!"
Huang Yanchen raised his eyebrows slightly, stared at Zhang Ruochen with some pride, and walked out.
After walking out of Yushu Palace, Zhang Ruochen said with a serious face: "Senior Sister Huang, are you serious?"
Huang Yanchen was wearing a snow-white silk coat and a maroon hooded cloak, standing gracefully in the snow. His originally fair face became even more crystal clear under the reflection of the ice and snow.
Huang Yanchen's big sapphire blue eyes stared at Zhang Ruochen and said coldly: "Of course I am serious."
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said: "But we agreed at first that it was just a fake engagement..."
Huang Yanchen also became serious and said: "Zhang Ruochen, are you kidding me? I am the princess of Qianshui County, and you are also the prince of Yunwu County. How can our own engagement be a joke? How can there be a fake engagement?
argument?"
Zhang Ruochen was speechless. He looked at Huang Yanchen carefully and said, "Senior sister, you are being unreasonable. How can you deny what you said?"
Huang Yanchen raised his chin, revealing his snow-white neck, and said, "Are you in love with Duanmu Xingling. That's why you are so anxious to break off the engagement with me?"
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, "Why do you involve Senior Sister Duanmu again?"
Huang Yanchen stared at her beautiful eyes and said, "Since you don't like her, why do you admit that you are her boyfriend?"
"Are you referring to Chen Ruo's identity?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Huang Yanchen bit her lip tightly and said coldly: "I really misjudged her before. I didn't expect that she was hiding so deeply that she even wanted to snatch the fiancé of her best sister. Sisters can't do it.
From now on, we can only be enemies. Yes, enemies!"
Zhang Ruochen looked at Huang Yanchen's serious look and sighed. He never expected that things would develop to this point.
He wanted to explain, but considering Huang Yanchen's character, it was estimated that the more he explained, the more she would think about it.
Proving once again that I really don’t understand women.
It was definitely not an accident that she died at the hands of Princess Chi Yao in her previous life. She might have offended her somewhere. Therefore, she held a grudge and killed Zhang Ruochen with one sword.
But Zhang Ruochen thought about it carefully, but he didn't feel that he had offended Princess Chi Yao in any way.
Why are you thinking so much? Why spend so much time guessing what they are thinking?
"While practicing martial arts, remember not to be distracted." Zhang Ruochen thought of what Emperor Ming had warned him back then, and immediately retracted his thoughts.
After seeing off Huang Yanchen, Zhang Ruochen did not return to Yushu Palace, but went to the ancestral hall of the emperors.
Tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony will be held at the Emperors' Ancestral Hall.
If you want to seize the power of the sacrifice during the sacrifice ceremony, you must come and inspect it in advance.
Although the sacrificial ceremony is tomorrow, the decoration of the ancestral halls of the emperors had already begun half a month ago.
Outside the ancestral hall, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep sacrifices have been tied to the ancient altar made of huge stones, including a large number of wild beasts.
After all, Yunwu County is a county with a population close to 100 million, and the national festival is the foundation of martial arts for a county, so the preparations are naturally quite grand.
Around the altar, there were warriors, eunuchs, maids, as many as a thousand people, all busy in front and back.
When they saw Zhang Ruochen coming to the Emperor's Ancestral Hall, they all saluted without any hesitation.
"Ninth brother, tomorrow is the sacrificial ceremony, why did you come here tonight?"
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "Seventh brother, aren't you here too?"
Zhang Tiangui and Han Qiu walked side by side and came from a distance.
Lin Chenyu followed them, bending down like a slave. But his eyes were very gloomy. No one could guess what he was thinking.
The three of them are all top martial arts experts. They walked through the snow without leaving a single footprint.
Zhang Tiangui said: "I have been ordered by my father to preside over this year's sacrificial ceremony. Naturally, I have to come and take a look at it from time to time. After all, you are still very young. When you get older, you will naturally have such an opportunity."
Han Qiu stared at Zhang Ruochen with a curious expression on his face and said with a smile: "I have long heard that the Ninth Prince's sword skills are superb and have reached the peak state of following the sword with your heart. Even the semi-saint disciple Qing Chibai is also making sword moves.
I lost to you, I wonder if I can experience it today?"
Zhang Ruochen is still very famous among the younger generation, especially for his attainments in swordsmanship and spiritual power, and he is known as the leader of the younger generation.
If his martial arts cultivation hadn't been high enough, perhaps the title of Zhang Tiangui's number one genius would have fallen to Zhang Ruochen.
Han Qiu is also a master of swordsmanship. He has also cultivated his swordsmanship to the peak of the sword. His attainments in swordsmanship are enough to rank among the top three among the younger generation in the thirty-six counties of Tianmoling.
Meeting Zhang Ruochen, a master of swordsmanship, Han Qiu naturally wanted to have a sword fight with him.
If she could defeat Zhang Ruochen, wouldn't it prove that her attainments in swordsmanship surpassed Qing Chibai's?
In this regard, Zhang Tiangui is a little behind. Although he is known as the number one genius of the younger generation, he mainly practices the physical body and palm skills. In terms of swordsmanship, he is not outstanding.
