Zhang Ruochen is not a ruthless person, he treats everyone around him the same way.
Just like that, after listening to Prajna's words, the indifference in his eyes melted a little, and his voice was slightly lowered: "I can't remember how I got together with Princess Yanchen. I only remember the first time we met.
At that time, the word "chen" seemed to offend her taboo, and by some strange combination of circumstances, she entered the "di" gate, and from then on they had a relationship."
"So many things happened later, including disputes, tenderness, separation and joy, and joys and sorrows. Do you still remember how they went from being dissatisfied with each other to knowing each other and falling in love?"
Prajna sat on the cold ice stone in the sky, with his eyes lowered, listening quietly without responding.
"The reason why two people came together was from acquaintance to mutual understanding, from mutual acquaintance to mutual appreciation, from mutual appreciation to falling in love, and from falling in love to staying together. Unfortunately, they did not make it to the last step."
"If they had not met in the West Courtyard. If on the eve of their marriage, Queen Chi Yao had not sent Wan Zhiyi to the Holy King's Mansion in the Eastern Territory to capture Zhang Ruochen. If Zhang Ruochen had not helped Huang Yanchen and become the world's son. If Zhang Ruochen and Queen Chi Yao,
Without eight hundred years of grudges, wouldn't the outcome be better?"
Zhang Ruochen spoke slowly, as if talking to himself or thinking about his past and present lives.
The longer a person lives, the way he looks at problems will always become different.
The high-spirited spirit he had when he was young made him feel full and full of enthusiasm. When facing any powerful enemy, he could take action without hesitation, even if it meant death.
But now, Zhang Ruochen will never do that again.
Just like back then, he dared to go to Ziwei Palace alone and question Chi Yao. Now, it is completely impossible for him to go to Disha Ghost City alone and challenge the ghost master.
It's not that I'm timid, I just don't want to die.
No matter how difficult things are, there is a better solution than dying generously.
Prajna finally spoke again and said: "There are so many ifs. The past is a foregone conclusion. The only thing that can be decided is the future."
The two of them sat opposite each other, and every word they spoke seemed to be full of emotion, but also like pale words between strangers.
Zhang Ruochen had a calm mind and stopped talking. A sharp light appeared in his eyes again and said: "To defeat Wujiang, dark space-time matter is not necessarily needed. As long as my blood energy can be restored, he will definitely lose the next time we fight."
"But your goal has never been to defeat Wujiang, but to be number one in the Battle of Hunting Sky." Prajna said.
Zhang Ruochen thought carefully and said: "The first thing is that we must be able to survive."
As soon as he finished speaking, the space shook slightly.
There are densely packed time-marked light spots, passing through the purple-gold light film formed by the supreme power, entering the inside of the gourd, and covering Zhang Ruochen and Prajna.
Over time, greater changes occurred.
"Why do so many time marks suddenly appear? No, the power of time is quickly consuming our lifespan."
Zhang Ruochen discovered that the flow of time had slowed down a thousand times, almost to the point where time stood still. Even if a million years had passed here, only one year had passed outside.
However, unlike practicing in the area covered by the sundial, staying here for one year will not consume one year of life, but consume a thousand years.
In other words, Zhang Ruochen stayed here for a million years, and only one year passed outside, but his lifespan would be consumed for a billion years.
After staying here for a year, only a few breaths will pass outside, but the monk's lifespan will be consumed for a thousand years.
"Dark Star is indeed not a treasure land for cultivation. We must find the dark space-time matter as soon as possible and then leave."
Zhang Ruochen's expression was solemn, and he realized that True Lord Blue Essence should not only have died under the squeeze of space, but that the extreme changes in time should also be one of the reasons for killing him.
After about a month, the space squeezing force from all directions gradually disappeared.
Zhang Ruochen's tense nerves relaxed.
Fortunately, when entering the Huntian battlefield, Zhang Ruochen asked the monks from the Blood Sky tribe to each take a sacred stone. These sacred stones are now in his hands.
It is precisely because they can continuously absorb the divine energy contained in the sacred stone that the power in Zhang Ruochen and Prajna's bodies is not exhausted, and they can continue to support the purple gold gourd and inspire the power of the Supreme.
"Wow——"
The purple gold gourd grew bigger again, transforming from a purple gold point of light into a gourd boat hundreds of meters long, floating in the boundless void.
The two flew out of the gourd, stood on the surface of the gourd, and prepared to move forward.
Prajna looked at the sapphire blue stone suspended in the void and said: "Although the Blue Marrow Star has become only such a big piece, it contains huge energy inside. If the sacred stone is exhausted, it should be able to support us to continue living here.
Go down."
Then he said: "I discovered that your purple gold gourd has refined a large amount of star cores. Can you take it in and refine it as well?"
Zhang Ruochen was a little unsure and said: "Its weight is a thousand times heavier than an ordinary star core. Refining it is equivalent to refining a thousand star cores."
Zhang Ruochen is naturally interested in Blue Marrow Star.
Once the refining is successful, the Purple Gold Gourd's swallowing ability will be greatly increased. At that time, it will also pose a threat to Greedy Baby, Hell King Tu, Que and others.
Under Zhang Ruochen's control, the purple gourd became even larger, like a gourd mountain.
Aim at the gourd's mouth with the sapphire blue stone and put it in.
Immediately, the weight of the purple gold gourd increased greatly, and Zhang Ruochen had to use all his strength to make the gourd fly rapidly.
While flying, Zhang Ruochen used the power of the Supreme to refine the Blue Marrow Star.
This is a long and boring journey, looking for dark space-time matter, like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is elusive and elusive.
At the same time, it is accompanied by huge dangers.
Every other month, a tidal storm of space rules will erupt. At that time, Zhang Ruochen and Prajna will hide inside the gourd and wait until the storm is over before coming out again.
In this crisis-ridden world, three years passed quickly.
Zhang Ruochen relied on the nourishment of the Divine Stone and the Heart of the Divine Tree, and the blood of the Great Sage in his body to fully recover, and his injuries were also healed.
The Purple Gold Gourd has flown hundreds of millions of miles, but it has not found even a trace of dark space-time matter.
In the past three years, Zhang Ruochen ate all the remaining seven sacred fruits of the Tao of Evolution. His lifespan increased by 21,000 years, and the rules of the Holy Tao in his body increased by 700 million, bringing the total to 3.5 billion.
Relying on the special environment here, Zhang Ruochen's understanding of time and space has greatly improved.
The rules of time and space have grown rapidly, with the number exceeding 40 million. If the space domain and the virtual time domain are now manifested, Zhang Ruochen is fully confident that he can fight against the boundless country of the underworld.
Just the understanding of time and space has made Zhang Ruochen feel that his trip is worthwhile. This experience will definitely lay a solid foundation for the future to condense the sacred meaning of time and space.
The biggest reason why Zhang Ruochen ate all the Yandao Sacred Fruits was because he was forced to do so.
First, the lifespan was consumed too much. In just three years, Zhang Ruochen lost two thousand years of life. Moreover, this situation will continue.
Without enough longevity energy to support him, Zhang Ruochen felt uncertain and could not afford to spend it.
Secondly, only by eating the Holy Fruit of Evolution can Zhang Ruochen's cultivation level be improved rapidly in a short period of time to cope with the complex, extreme, and dangerous environment inside the Dark Star.
After eating seven Holy Fruits of Evolution, Zhang Ruochen spent three years breaking thirteen shackles in a row.
Now, the total number of shackles that have been broken has reached twenty-seven. The demigod's body has become more powerful, and more divine power can be unleashed.
Swallowing a large amount of the Holy Fruit of Evolution has a greater benefit, as it can assist in the practice of high-level holy arts.
In the past three years, Zhang Ruochen has mastered swordsmanship, practiced boxing, and practiced palm training. He has also studied the sacred art of time and the sacred art of space in the "Secret Book of Time and Space" and the martial arts books collected by the Blood Jue God of War in the Seven-Star Imperial Palace.
In addition to the Gods and Demons Suppressing the Prison, Zhang Ruochen also practiced three Qianwen-level high-level holy arts, all of which have reached the stage of small success. The only thing left to achieve great success is time to polish and master them.
The three Qianwen-level high-level holy arts are:
A holy leg technique that can complement Yanshen Legs.
A sacred fire technique that can perfectly utilize the power of the purifying divine fire.
There is another type that belongs to the space category. Zhang Ruochen doesn't know whether he should classify it as a Qianwen-level high-level holy art. However, its cultivation difficulty is several points higher than that of the Qianwen-level high-level holy art.
To achieve such an achievement, the Holy Fruit of Evolution played a big role.
Otherwise, in just three years, let alone practicing three Qianwen-level high-level holy arts, even if you want to refine one, it will be as difficult as reaching heaven. To be precise, you may not be able to cultivate even one in thirty years.
.
Zhang Ruochen spent most of his energy on swordsmanship. Whether it was Sword Eleven or the fifth level of Time Swordsmanship, "Glory Moon Cantabile", there were breakthrough improvements.
The only regret is that I failed to integrate the sixth holy meaning into the yin-yang and five elements holy meaning.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen was alone, standing on the top of the purple gold gourd, with his hands behind his back and looking ahead.
After three years of searching for dark space-time matter to no avail, I have some doubts and restlessness in my heart.
Dark space-time matter is just a guess of Prajna and may not really exist.
If you continue to spend time here, you may just waste your life in vain.
"With my current strength, it shouldn't be difficult to defeat Wujiang in his heyday. On the entire Huntian battlefield, the only ones who can still pose a threat to me are Que and Emperor Chi. As for Greed Baby, Yama Emperor Tu, and Luo Shengtian, although they are ranked
It’s higher than Wujiang, but its combat power is so much stronger than Wujiang that it should be limited.”
Zhang Ruochen was thinking repeatedly about whether to leave the Dark Star now.
However, another question came to mind. As Prajna said, his goal is to be number one in the Battle of Hunting Sky, not to defeat a certain opponent in a one-on-one battle.
In the final decisive battle, it is very likely that he will face more than one powerful enemy.
At that time, dark space-time matter can become the biggest trump card.
Regardless of whether it can be used or not, having it in your hands is better than nothing.
In the past two years, Prajna has been staying inside the Purple Gold Gourd.
Her longevity is far inferior to that of Zhang Ruochen and she cannot afford to waste it.
Fortunately, two years ago, Zhang Ruochen arranged a time formation on the purple gold gourd, which could, to a certain extent, resist the erosion of time's longevity.
As long as you stay inside the gourd, your longevity consumption will be one-tenth that of the outside.
Because of the time formation, even though Zhang Ruochen stayed outside the gourd for a long time, controlling the gourd and searching for dark space-time matter, his longevity was only consumed for two thousand years instead of three thousand years.
"Don't be impatient. You should be calmer. Take this opportunity to understand the path of darkness. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle."
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged, and adjusted his emotions.
The interior of the Dark Star is filled with a large number of dark rules, making it an excellent place to understand the ways of darkness.
In the hell world, many monks have practiced the dark ways, including the heavenly ways of various tribes, many of which are derived from the dark ways. The deeper you understand the dark ways, the better you will be against the great sages who go to the hell world in the future.
Or, it will be easier to deal with it.
When practicing, time always flies by.
Another seven years have passed.
Zhang Ruochen not only cultivated all three newly cultivated Qianwen-level high-level holy arts to great perfection, but also made greater breakthroughs in the way of swordsmanship, the way of space, the way of time, and the way of darkness.
After ten years of practice, coupled with the consumption of the Supreme Sacred Artifact, Zhang Ruochen's sacred stones have been exhausted.
We can't continue to waste it, it's time to decide whether to go or stay.
"Shua——"
A meandering Styx River flies out from the mouth of the gourd.
Prajna stepped on the Styx and floated to the surface of the gourd. He looked at the upright Zhang Ruochen, hesitated for a moment, walked over and said: "Ten years! It seems that I was wrong. This dark star has not been conceived at all.
Out of dark space-time matter.”
For ten years, Prajna has been using the rules of destiny to analyze the Blue Marrow Star, and has obtained a large amount of inheritance from the True Lord Blue Marrow.
Her cultivation level has improved tremendously.
Zhang Ruochen said: "In ten years, your Dark Way, Space Way, and Time Way have all improved tremendously. Your purpose in coming to the Dark Star is not to find dark space-time matter, but to practice and make breakthroughs.
Take a shortcut and catch up with the other two goddess candidates, Fenghou and Yanhong Monkey King."
It is not a good thing to practice multiple ancient ways at the same time.
If you are greedy for too much, you will achieve nothing.
However, in Prajna's body, Zhang Ruochen did not find the manifestation of greed and self-error. On the contrary, various ancient ways can complement each other and converge at the door of the true self.
The level of gaze at her True Self Gate has more than doubled compared to before entering the Dark Star.
Prajna stared at Zhang Ruochen for a long time and said, "Do you think I am using your power to help me achieve a breakthrough in my cultivation? Yes, I am using you."
Zhang Ruochen observed her eyes carefully, shook his head and said, "You always don't like to explain, and you insist on me finding the truth and answers by myself. You know, this makes me really tired."
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen had a feeling, and his pupils quickly shrank, looking into the distant void behind Prajna.
"Perhaps, I have found the answer, dark space-time matter has appeared!"
About seven hundred miles away from the Zijin Gourd, a black fog appeared, and there was rain in the fog. The raindrops rotated and flew, forming a huge vortex.
In the center of the whirlpool, you can vaguely see a yellow copper tripod.
