And then, Sun Dadi told everything he'd heard in the suburban area of the capital city. The more he talked about it, the angrier he got. If it weren't for Zhao s.h.i.+qi to control him, he would've rushed to the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and killed that Feng Yinchan.
Zhao s.h.i.+qi was also furious. He said, "That d.a.m.n woman, Feng Yinchan. She's beautiful but wicked. She framed our overlord for slaughtering the people in the city, and now, she's instigating people. She's trying to make our overlord an enemy to many. Overlord, we can't just let this go easily. We have to let her pay."
Zhang Ruochen stroked his chin with his fingers and didn't seem to be triggered. He said, "She said I'm a bloodthirsty demon who robbed the valuables collected by the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race… Then there'll be many greedy people trying to kill me. It's a good thing actually."
Both Sun Dadi and Zhao s.h.i.+qi were dazed as they didn't expect Zhang Ruochen to react in this way. How was it good that there would be countless creatures trying to hunt him down?
Sun Dadi reached out his hand to touch Zhang Ruochen's forehead. He asked, "Are you too angry to think straight, brother?"
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and asked, "Have you finished what I asked you to do?"
"To find an altar?"
"Yes."
Zhang Ruochen had figured that it was difficult to conquer the capital city of Blue Dragon Dynasty, and it was not easy to occupy the royal altar in the capital city.
Which was why he asked Sun Dadi and Zhao s.h.i.+qi to ask whether there were suitable altars outside the capital city. And size didn't matter, as long as the altar was close enough to the World Spirit.
The divine medicinal pills made by Blackie needed a sacrifice to fully become pills.
Zhang Ruochen planned to use those divine medicinal pills to become a level-nine half saint.
Zhao s.h.i.+qi said respectfully, "Based on your requirements, I used my mind power to inspect the suburban area of the capital city, and I found two altars."
"The first one is kind of small, which is an altar in the north of the capital city. It has a diameter of around ninety feet, and it's around thirty feet tall."
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, "The altar is too small. Even if we do a sacrifice there, it's difficult to get the approval from the World Spirit in Blue Dragon Void World. What about the second one?"
Zhao s.h.i.+qi continued, "The second altar was at the top of Dragon Top Mountain, which is in the south of the city. It's an ancient altar. I captured an aboriginal monk and scanned his memories using techniques, and I know about this ancient altar."
"That altar used to be a place for ancient kingdom to make sacrifices to the heavens. After a long time, dynasties changed, and that place became desolate."
"I went to Dragon Top Mountain once, and that ancient altar is indeed enormous. However, it's been desolate for a very long time, and the altar has been covered by mud and stones. I don't know whether we can still use it or not."
Blackie interjected, "That's the place. Even if the altar has been damaged, I can still restore it."
Zhang Ruochen stood up and said, "Then that's it. Let's prepare ourselves in Scroll World for three days, after which we'll head to Dragon Top Mountain."
Zhang Ruochen then looked to Sun Dadi and Zhao s.h.i.+qi and said, "You two don't need to join the fight for the World Spirit. Keep practicing in Scroll World and improve your cultivation."
"Why?"
Sun Dadi was very keen to join the fight.
Zhao s.h.i.+qi, on the other hand, was more experienced, and he figured out why. He moved his lips and transmitted his voice to Sun Dadi.
"That's the reason!"
Sun Dadi nodded and said, "Rest a.s.sured, brother. I can change my appearance so that your real ident.i.ty will remain safe."
Chi Chi.
Sun Dadi clenched his fist, and crimson fire emerged from his body. His body kept growing taller until it reached eight feet. After that, red hair grew and covered his body.
He suddenly became a flame spirit monkey.
Of course, Sun Dadi controlled the fire on his body delicately and he didn't spill any of the flames, otherwise, the entire restaurant would've been burnt to the ground now.
Sun Dadi was originally from the Monkey-human clan. He had the bloodlines of both human beings and flame monkeys. It was usual that he could turn into a monkey.
The forces coming from Sun Dadi became ferocious, crude and aggressive after he turned into a flame monkey like he was a real flame monkey who lived in the Savage Barren Territory.
He didn't look like a human being anymore.
"Good! Now that you can turn into a flame spirit monkey, you can join the fight," Zhang Ruochen said.
In the next three days, everyone was pa.s.sionately preparing for the fight.
Zhang Ruochen went below Divine Sky-Connecting Tree. He sat down with his legs crossed and took out a large number of saintly stones, putting them around his body.
Zhang Ruochen's lower abdomen was at least ten thousand times wider than that of other monks.
However, most of the Holy Qi was only air, and only a little of it could condense into a half-saint true liquid, forming a small true liquid pond.
Even so, Zhang Ruochen had more than ten times more Holy Qi than other monks. In a normal fight, it was more than enough.
However, he was going to deal with constant fights, so he had to store much more Holy Qi for that.
"Condense."
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes, mobilizing the techniques and turning Holy Qi in his abdomen into half-saint true liquids.
It would take a cubic meter of Holy Qi to make one drop of half-saint true liquid. Inside the abdomen there was formed a true liquid lake, occupying one thousandth of the s.p.a.ce in the abdomen.
Zhang Ruochen raised his arms, opening all his one hundred and eight apertures, fully utilizing Emperor Ming Nine-sky Scripture, absorbing the Holy Qi from the saintly stone.
He then absorbed Holy Qi into his abdomen, turning it into half-saint true liquids again. The true liquids were raining, falling into the true liquid lake.
After three days…
The true liquid lake now occupied one hundredth of his abdomen.
Zhang Ruochen opened his eyes again and smiled. "It'll cost one hundred thousand silver coins to buy one drop of half-saint true liquid in the Xuan Realm, and it's very difficult to buy that in a remote place like Heavenly Devil Mountain. Now, I have a whole lake of half-saint true liquid in my body."
Only desperate half saints would sell their half-saint true liquids. Ordinary half saints disdained doing that.
Although the half-saint true liquids condensed by Zhang Ruochen only occupied one hundredth of his abdomen, it was already more than one hundred times more than that of other monks. He could fight for ten days and not be worried about using up his Holy Qi.
Zhang Ruochen thought about it for a while, and he realized that it might take him a year to fill his abdomen with half-saint true liquids.
There was no point in wasting a whole year just to store half-saint true liquids. At least Zhang Ruochen didn't plan to get wealthy by selling half-saint true liquids.
Zhang Ruochen was already in his prime. He took Sikong One, Sikong Two, Huang Yanchen, Qing Mo, White Li Princess, Sun Dadi, Blackie, Murong Yue and the six high-level half saints from Murong's clan and walked out of Scroll World, heading toward Dragon Top Mountain.
What was worth mentioning was that Blackie picked lots of divine medicinal pills in Scroll World, and with the saintly source spring, he refined a pill that could greatly improve cultivation.
When other monks took a saintly herb, their cultivation could be improved one level.
The pills made by Blackie were even stronger.
Sikong One and Sikong Two both took more than ten pills, and they pa.s.sed the second pre-saint trial.
Their bodies were very special, as they were not afraid of the thunder trial. The moment their cultivation made breakthrough, they started to do the trial without any concerns.
Huang Yanchen pa.s.sed the first pre-saint trial.
Both White Li Princess and Sun Dadi were now pinnacle first-trial pre-saints, so they didn't dare try the second pre-saint trial easily.
Murong Yue made the greatest improvement, as she was now a level-nine half saint.
Other than her, the other six high-level half saints had also become level-nine half saints. Murong Chengfeng, who had the most profound cultivation, had successfully pa.s.sed the first pre-saint trial.
Blackie still had some pills left, but Zhang Ruochen didn't take any.
He had refined too much divine blood, so his body const.i.tution had been greatly changed. Ordinary pills wouldn't help him much.
"Our team is powerful enough to defeat everyone in the Blue Dragon Void World."
Sun Dadi was overly confident, holding the iron rod in his hand, engulfed in flames.
Zhang Ruochen wasn't that positive. He said, "I need to remind you again that there're around ten aboriginal saints in the capital city, so the fight for World Spirit will be very dangerous. There's a chance that you'll get killed. If you're not sure about it, you can still quit now."
"As long as we can get World Spirit and turn Scroll World into Universe Field, we're not afraid to die."
Everyone was still enthusiastic instead of scared.
As long as Universe Field could be born, they would be the creators of a new world, which was a great glory.
It was an honor for them to be a part of it.
Zhang Ruochen didn't try to hide anything from them. He had informed them of all the dangers, and it was all up to them to choose.
"Okay, let's go to Dragon Top Mountain now."
Zhang Ruochen was also pa.s.sionate. He rode Mud Deer Beast King and rushed out first. His aggressiveness swept across the sky and land.
Five hundred miles away from the capital city to the south was an enormous cordillera that was thousands of miles long. It was like a divine dragon lying on the ground, and it was of great momentum, echoing the capital city.
Dragon Top Mountain was at the start of the cordillera, and was more than twenty thousand feet tall. It was a dangerous place, and it looked like the head of the mountain.
The mountain contained some mysterious power, which penetrated the ground, making the mountain stable. Even the creatures from the state of saint couldn't move it.
Zhang Ruochen stood at the mountainside, looking up. He said, "This is a marvelous mountain."
"If it wasn't a marvelous mountain, it wouldn't have become a place to make sacrifices to the heavens." Huang Yanchen walked to Zhang Ruochen's side as if she were his shadow.
Blackie flew down from the top of the mountain like a trace of black light, nodded at Zhang Ruochen and said, "The altar at the top of the mountain is indeed kind of damaged. However, I can repair it in some time."
Zhang Ruochen looked solemn. He gave an order, "Murong Yue, spread the word that I, Zhang Ruochen, came, and I'm in Dragon Top Mountain."
Everyone was shocked by what Zhang Ruochen did. Didn't he know that many creatures in Blue Dragon Void World wanted to kill him to get the valuables he had?
Huang Yanchen squinted her eyes.
There was already an altar, so there certainly needed to be sacrifices.
