In the stone gate, Zhang Ruochen steadied his body and immediately started using his skills to suppress his injuries.
The true energy circulates and surges through the body, forming a large circle and beginning to heal.
After a while, Zhang Ruochen let out a long breath of white air, opened his eyes, and said: "What a powerful Emperor. No wonder he was able to defeat the number one in the "Earth Ranking", Bu Qianfan, with three swords."
"Whoosh!"
The armor that originally wrapped Zhang Ruochen's right arm gradually faded away, revealing a bloody arm.
Just now, under Zhang Ruochen's healing energy, the cracked skin on his arms had become covered with blood scabs, forming hideous scar lines.
Entering the stone gate, there is no water in the passage and it seems quite dry.
The river in the Dragon Palace seems to be blocked from the stone gate by a strange force.
Chang Qiqi hurriedly walked over and said: "Junior Brother Zhang, you are already very powerful! You just fought with Di Yi in more than three moves, so to speak, you are even more powerful than Qian Fan in the first step of "Earth Ranking"."
After hearing what Chang Qiqi said, everyone reacted and couldn't help but be surprised.
The battle between Zhang Ruochen and Di Yi was indeed a bit shocking. The two exchanged more than ten moves in total. Although Zhang Ruochen was always at a disadvantage, he actually blocked Di Yi.
If this record is spread, it will definitely make Zhang Ruochen famous in the Eastern Region and appear in the "Eastern Region News" again.
When Zhang Ruochen entered the top 100 of the "Earth Ranking", Chen Xi'er felt that she had underestimated Zhang Ruochen's talent before, so she later attached great importance to Zhang Ruochen and even wanted to snatch Zhang Ruochen away from Huang Yanchen.
The top 100 geniuses in the "Earth Ranking" are considered top-notch geniuses even in Chen Xi'er's family.
But now, she realizes how wrong she was before. With Zhang Ruochen's strength, it is not as simple as being in the top 100 of the "Earth Ranking".
In her heart, she was even more jealous of Huang Yanchen.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at Chang Qiqi, shook his head gently, and said with a smile: "You guys underestimate Di Yi. In the first battle, Di Yi didn't use his full strength at all. It wasn't until the last blow that Di Yi
The hidden power was fully unleashed. You have also seen that I was seriously injured in just one move. Bu Qianfan was able to block Di's first or two moves and was defeated in the third move, which is already quite remarkable. If we really fight
, with my current strength, I may not be Bu Qianfan’s opponent.”
Zhang Ruochen's physical condition is too poor, and the time he has practiced martial arts is too short. Fortunately, he has reached the supreme realm in both the Huangji Realm and the Xuanji Realm, and now he can compete with the top geniuses.
Compared with the innate holy body like Di Yi, there is still some gap. Only by using the power of space and the power of martial soul can it be possible to make up for it.
Of course, he has reached the Supreme Realm in both Huangji Realm and Xuanji Realm. In other words, his martial arts foundation has been quite solid. As his cultivation deepens, his advantages will gradually be revealed.
Just like building a tower, only if the foundation is solid and generous, can the tower be built higher in the future.
The foundation of Emperor Yi is his innate holy body, which is like the "central pillar" of building a high tower. As long as the "central pillar" does not fall, the tower will not fall and can keep building upward.
Zhang Ruochen's foundation is to move steadily through each realm and reach the ultimate of each realm. When building the first floor of the tower, he had already built the tower base to the widest and broadest level, reaching the ultimate.
Si Xingkong said: "Di Yi's last move unleashed the power of the holy body, and the martial arts he performed was even a low-grade ghost-level 'Human King Fist'. The power of that level is terrifying just thinking about it.
"
"Fortunately, he has not mastered the 'Human King Fist' to perfection, otherwise, I may not be able to block the power of that punch."
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "Of course, if I successfully cultivate the sixth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, 'Dragon Tribulation', I will not be injured in the duel with that move just now."
Practicing martial arts is not something that happens overnight. Zhang Ruochen only started practicing at the age of sixteen, sixteen years later than Di Yi. His current achievements are already quite good.
"Cousin-in-law, your injury hasn't healed yet! This is a healing elixir I just found, the Worm Core Flower, which should help you recover quickly."
Chen Xi'er took out a white spirit flower and handed it to Zhang Ruochen. She stared at Zhang Ruochen affectionately, as if she was deliberately trying to please Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen was not polite, took the insect core flower, and after a gentle sniff, he could smell the medicinal fragrance coming from the flower.
This insect-core flower probably grew eight or nine hundred years ago. Its leaves, petals, and rhizomes are all white and crystal clear, as if there is spiritual liquid flowing inside.
"It is indeed a healing medicine." Zhang Ruochen glanced at Chen Xi'er and said, "Thank you."
Chen Xi'er smiled lightly and said: "Cousin-in-law, we are one family, why do we need to say thank you? Besides, if you hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't have been able to pick the cordyceps."
Zhang Ruochen released the spirit fire energy and refined the cordyceps in his palm.
The cordyceps gradually melted and turned into a ball of milky white liquid, suspended in the palm of Zhang Ruochen's hand.
Zhang Ruochen divided the lump of liquid into three parts and gave them to Zi Qian and Huang Yanchen respectively. He took the last part himself.
Cordyceps is indeed a precious medicine for healing. After half an hour of absorption, Zhang Ruochen, Zi Qian, and Huang Yanchen recovered from their injuries.
The blood scab on Zhang Ruochen's arm fell off, revealing a layer of intact skin without even a scar.
Moreover, Zhang Ruochen felt that his martial spirit seemed to have recovered somewhat, and his brain no longer ached as before.
The group continued to move forward, passing through the long passage and entering the hinterland of the hill.
The passage became wider and wider, golden light appeared in front, and everyone came to an underground prototype square.
The square is as big as two football fields and is surrounded by stone walls carved with golden lines.
Above, there is a golden fireball suspended, and there seems to be a golden dragon flying in the fireball.
"I thought I would encounter many formations and dangers, but how could I come to the hinterland of the hill so easily? I don't know where the golden dragon is buried?"
Chang Qiqi rubbed her hands and looked around with her eyes.
Zhang Ruochen also found it quite strange. As the tomb of Jinlong, how could it be broken into by them so easily?
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen suddenly realized something was wrong. He looked at Chang Qiqi, who was still talking just now, and found that Chang Qiqi had become motionless, with a layer of golden light emerging from the surface of her body, as if she had turned into a golden statue.
Not only Chang Qiqi, but also Si Xingkong, Chen Xi'er, Huang Yanchen, Duanmu Xingling, Zi Qian, and even the rabbit Guo Guo remained motionless.
There was no breath of life on their bodies.
"How could this happen? Senior Sister Huang."
Zhang Ruochen's expression changed, he walked towards Huang Yanchen and reached for Huang Yanchen's hand.
However, just as he touched Huang Yanchen's hand, a feeling of electric shock came from Huang Yanchen's hand, which pushed Zhang Ruochen away.
"Young man, don't panic, they are only temporarily restrained by my Vajra Buddha, and they will not die yet!" An old voice sounded.
That voice was very hoarse, but it gave people a sacred feeling, like a holy voice coming from the nine heavens.
"Wow!"
A golden dragon flew down from the fireball, transformed into an old man with golden light all over his body, and stood in front of Zhang Ruochen.
The old man was very kind, with a wrinkled face and a long face. He held a Buddhist staff in his hand and a circle of Buddha's light hung behind his head.
Seeing this old man, Zhang Ruochen was extremely excited, with tears in his eyes. He immediately bowed and bowed, with a slight sob in his voice, and said, "Greetings to Senior Jinlong."
The old man had a trace of doubt in his eyes and said, "Young man, do you know Lao Long?"
"Eight hundred years ago, I met my senior once in the Ming Emperor's Palace. At that time, my senior taught me how to practice swordsmanship. I still remember what my senior said at that time." Zhang Ruochen's eyes were a little blurry and he smiled.
Eight hundred years have passed, and the sea has changed, things and people have changed, and almost all of the friends and relatives who once were there are dead.
Zhang Ruochen felt indescribably excited and sad when he could still see his former elders.
For Jin Long, more than 800 years have passed since then.
However, for Zhang Ruochen, only two or three years have passed.
It's like waking up from a dream and the whole world is different, which is hard to accept.
The appearance of the golden dragon in human form was exactly the same as before, so Zhang Ruochen recognized him instantly when he saw him. In the past two years, Zhang Ruochen had been suppressing the emotions in his heart, until then, he finally vented them out
.
Jin Long was a little surprised and said: "Young man, if Old Long is not mistaken, you are not yet twenty years old, right?"
Zhang Ruochen just said: "Eight hundred years ago, Emperor Buddha and Emperor Ming were discussing martial arts, and Senior Jin Long visited Emperor Ming's Palace with Emperor Buddha. That year, I was only nine years old. One day, Princess Chi Yao and I were practicing yin and yang in the garden.
At the Liangyi Sword Formation, Senior Jin Long passed by, looked at it for a long time, and then came over and said, "Both juniors, you are very talented in swordsmanship. It's a pity that the Yin and Yang Liangyi Sword Formation is not suitable for your current practice."
.”
"At this moment, Princess Chi Yao swung her sword and stabbed you. She shouted, "Old man with golden beard, if you can, can you say it again?"
"Senior Jinlong smiled slightly and said, the so-called yin and yang, two lovers who know each other and love each other can fully exert the power of the sword formation. You two brats, do you know what love is? What do you know about yin and yang complementation? Water and milk are in harmony.
?So, you are just wasting time practicing this sword formation now. At most you can only practice moves, but you cannot reach the realm of divine marrow at all. In ten years, practice again!"
Hearing Zhang Ruochen repeat what he said back then, Jin Long's face showed a look of shock, "You... you are... the son of Emperor Ming..."
If your mental power reaches level 20, you will be able to achieve photographic memory.
Therefore, even if eight hundred years have passed, Jinlong can still recall what happened that day.
