Zhang Ruochen then asked, “How long have we been cultivating in this divine sea?”

“I’ve been cultivating for seven days, and you, thirteen,” Li Miaohan said.

Zhang Ruochen walked out of the divine sea and looked toward the depths of the sea. “Her Highness hasn’t come out?”

Li Miaohan shook her head and said, “Master must have encountered a great opportunity, and would not be able to come out after a short while. Young Master Ruochen, do you want to stay here and wait?”

“No, I still have very important things to attend to.”

Zhang Ruochen and Li Miaohan walked out of the divine gate and returned to the Nine Carols Star.

He then wrote a letter, and handed it to Li Miaohan, and asked her to pa.s.s it to Fairy Tianchu. Then, Zhang Ruochen, Murong Yefeng, Ji Fanxin, and Awesome, the Little Taoist left the Nine Carols Star.

As they piloted the white jade Saint Vessel, everyone headed outside of Luoshui.

“Leaving without saying goodbye, are you sure that Fairy Tianchu will not be angry?” Ji Fanxin teased.

Awesome, the Little Taoist sn.i.g.g.e.red. “If a high-ranking Fairy like her got angry, she’d be capable of doing anything.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “You guys don’t have to be such alarmists. Even if she’s a Fairy, she is still a woman, after all, not a scourge, right?”

“Sometimes, women are more terrifying than a scourge.”

Murong Yefeng walked over from the bow of the s.h.i.+p.

His body exuded a dazzling multicolored Saint Light, and a Qilin was faintly visible in the Saint Light, letting out a low howl.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed. “Have you managed to refine the Supreme Qilin Fruit?”

“Just the preliminary refinement. It will take some time to fully absorb the fruit. Even so, my physique has taken a ma.s.sive leap. Compared with the Secondary Perfect Physique, it is incredible.” Murong Yefeng was in a good mood, and he wore a smile on his face.

The great gift that Zhang Ruochen had given Murong Yefeng, was the Supreme Qilin Fruit that he had taken from the Altar of Divinity Bestowment.

Before other ordinary cultivators, Murong Yefeng’s physique was at the top. However, compared with the most powerful people from the various walks of the Celestial Court, he was much weaker.

Limited by his body, while Murong Yefeng had a profound cultivation base, and outstanding accomplishments in Saint Arts, but he could not defeat a powerhouse like Mr. G.o.dcliff.

After getting the Supreme Qilin Fruit, Murong Yefeng’s combat power would definitely increase by leaps and bounds.

Murong Yefeng said, “With my current strength, if I have a Supreme Sacred Artifact, I can fight on even footing with Mr. G.o.dcliff at his peak.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled. “You are now only a Secondary Perfect Physique, once you have completely absorbed the Supreme Qilin Fruit, you will be able to cultivate the Perfect Physique and maybe even a chance to cultivate the Supreme Perfect Physique. By then, your combat power will increase by many folds.”

Murong Yefeng obviously knew this and nodded with a smile.

On the way to Qianshui Royal City, Zhang Ruochen released the Wayfarer who was imprisoned in Qiankun Realm and tossed him onto the deck of the white jade Saint Vessel with a thud.

“Tell me, Where is Cang Long and Ruan Ling?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

The Wayfarer was chained up with Saint Fetters, and could not stand still as he fell onto the ground. In the face of Zhang Ruochen’s interrogation, not only his expression did not change, his eyes were rather indifferent. “You’d be better off not wis.h.i.+ng to meet them, or else you will regret it.”

Youshen had personally ordered that the cultivators of the Fane of Youshen kill Zhang Ruochen.

Cang Long and Ruan Ling, as the most powerful elites of the Fane of Youshen, were naturally Zhang Ruochen’s two major threats. If he knew their exact location and could strike first, then he could take the initiative and kill them off first.

Awesome, the Little Taoist said, “Why bother wasting words with a master of the Precept Dominion realm? Do you think he would just tell you everything by asking? Might as well just search his soul outright.”

Whoosh.

Awesome, the Little Taoist transformed into a purple light and landed on the top of the Wayfarer’s head as its hands turned into dense purple filaments that pressed onto the top of the latter’s head.

The brilliance emanating from the purple filaments grew more and more dazzling as they stabbed into the head of the Wayfarer.

“Aaaahh…”

The Wayfarer endured great pain as he let out a roar.

A moment later, the Wayfarer stopped screaming, as he fainted and were bleeding from all orifices.

Awesome, the Little Taoist retracted its hands and solemnly said with a frown, “I’ve looked into the Wayfarer’s memories and seen the scene of Cang Long and Ruan Ling’s battle. I’m afraid their strength isn’t something we can contend with right now.”

Ji Fanxin said, “Cang Long and Ruan Ling were always first-rate powerhouses, and their cultivation base is beyond the realm of Precept Dominion. Be it their cultivated techniques, their physical attributes, or the Saint Arts and Saint Artifacts they have, everything’s top level. They can even fight against a Supreme Saint of the Neverwilt realm.”

Zhang Ruochen then asked, “What are the realms above the Precept Dominion realm?”

“Heaven’s Reach and Path’s Anterior.” The speaker was Murong Yefeng.

There were five sub-realms within the Nine-step Saint King realm.

Lesser Precept World, Greater Precept World, Precept Dominion, Heaven’s Reach, and Path’s Anterior.

The Lesser Precept World referred to when the Saint Path Precepts had reached a certain level, and it would evolve and activate itself within the Sea of Qi, filling the Sea of Qi and forming a lesser-precept world.

The Greater Precept World referred to the point when the Saint Path Precepts rushed out of the Sea of Qi and spread all over the body along the meridians, blood vessels, and Saint Meridians, forming a greater-precept world.

Precept Dominion pointed to when the Saint Path Precepts rushed out of the body and created a dominion of its own outside the body within the Precepts of Heaven and Earth. This allowed the mobilization of the Precepts of Heaven and Earth, unleas.h.i.+ng unparalleled power.

Heaven’s Reach, was when a Nine-steps Saint King could already mobilize the Precepts of Heaven and Earth and draw it into his body, and tempering his flesh and blood in preparation for forming the immortal Saint Body.

Path’s Anterior was when the physical body had been tempered to a certain degree and was only a step away from forming an immortal Saint Body. As long as a cultivator of the Path’s Anterior realm was willing, he could step over at any moment.

A Nine-steps Saint King who had cultivated the realm of Precept Dominion meant that he had a 10% chance of cultivateing the realm of Supreme Sainthood.

A Nine-step Saint King of the Heaven’s Reach realm had a 30% chance of attaining Supreme Sainthood.

A Nine-step Saint King of the Path’s Anterior realm had a 100% chance of reaching Supreme Sainthood. It was dependent on the cultivator’s willingness to take the final step or not.

Even the Blood Wasp Ashuran King was only a cultivator of the Precept Dominion realm.

However, the Blood Wasp Ashuran King was a top-level powerhouse of the Precept Dominion realm, so killing someone of the same realm was quite easy. Just like Zhang Ruochen, if he was to reach the realm of Precept Dominion, he could kill other powerhouses of the same realm with just a flick of his finger.

Awesome, the Little Taoist said, “I’ve found Cang Long and Ruan Ling’s whereabouts. Cang Long had gone to the Mountains of Fallen G.o.ds, trying to vie for a demiG.o.d medicine. Ruan Ling had gone to the Hidden Barrens to look for artifacts of ancient G.o.ds. How about we take advantage of the fact the two are separated and take them out individually?”

Zhang Ruochen pondered for a moment and shook his head, saying, “The Mountains of Fallen G.o.ds and the Hidden Barrens are both endlessly vast, finding the two is like finding a needle in a haystack. Plus, even if a Supreme Saint were to act, he would not necessarily be able to kill them. With our strength, we are still a bit short.”

Zhang Ruochen then threw the Wayfarer to the Evil Spirit.

The Evil Spirit swallowed the Wayfarer’s soul, and its cultivation base increased again.

The group arrived at the Qianshui Royal City and entered a Saint Shop opened by the Qianrui Realm.

The cultivator who sent the G.o.dstone was Ji Fanxin’s senior, the King Danling.

King Danling was captured by the Fane of Yinyang and suffered various tortures before. It was Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin who had rescued her. Later on, as she was targeted by the a.s.sa.s.sins of the Tiansha Organization, so she returned to the Qianrui Realm to hide.

Since she was an old acquaintance, Zhang Ruochen skipped the pleasantries and directly asked her how many G.o.dstones she had brought to the Kunlun Realm.

King Danling smiled. “Zhang Ruochen, what’s the hurry? If you can afford the price, the quant.i.ty of G.o.dstones will definitely satisfy your needs.”

Zhang Ruochen was wealthy so he asked indifferently. “How many Saint Stones for one?”

King Danling said, “One billion pieces.”

Hearing this price, even Murong Yefeng frowned.

Zhang Ruochen calmed down as a smile appeared on his face, and he said, “Miss Danling, we have such a close friends.h.i.+p, can’t it be a little cheaper? One billion Saint Stones is just the market price, right?”

“Friends.h.i.+p is one thing; the price, however, is not determined by me.”

King Danling smiled beautifully and looked at Ji Fanxin, seeking her opinion.

Ji Fanxin said. “Zhang Ruochen, I’ve already given you three G.o.dstones. If you want more, you need to purchase them with Saint Stones. How about this, we are allies, so I’ll give you a friendly rate of 900 million Saint Stones for one G.o.dstone. Of course, you can also use sacred medicines and springs of life to exchange for it.”

For Ji Fanxin who was cultivating the Path of Life, the spring of life was very attractive to her.

“Nine hundred million Saint Stones then,” Zhang Ruochen agreed.

With the two battles in the Eastern Region Holy City, and the Warsoul Star giving Zhang Ruochen a huge harvest of high-grade Saint Artifacts, sacred medicines, techniques… If he was to sell these off, it was enough to make him richer than some Supreme Saints.

However, Zhang Ruochen would just never sell those treasures that were truly precious.

This time, King Danling came to Kunlun Realm with a total of ten G.o.dstones.

Zhang Ruochen sold all of the sacred artifacts and sacred medicines to the Qianrui Realm. He then also took out a batch of spring of life, before he bought all of the ten G.o.dstones.

After getting the ten G.o.dstones, the days of Zhang Ruochen breaking through into the realm of a Nine-step Saint King was just around the corner, so he was naturally quite excited.

However, Zhang Ruochen did not immediately activate the sundial, instead, he prepared to activate it when the sword spirit of the Ancient Abyssal Blade creates its material form.

It was because the forging of a sword spirit’s physical form was a very long process, and needed the support of the Sundial.

“Can we set off to the Northern Region, and seize the Divine Sky-connecting Tree?” Ji Fanxin asked.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head.” The location of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree is located at the heads-on battlefield between the Celestial and Infernal Court. There are many powerhouses there, and it is extremely perilous. We need to make some more preparations. I want to go back to Lord Ming’s Sword Temple in the Central Region. There, I want to cast the material form for the Ancient Abyssal Blade’s sword spirit, plus I can get the cultivators of the Lord Ming’s Sword Vault to create for me a batch of Blood Suppressant Talisman.”

“What’s a Blood Suppressant Talisman?” Ji Fanxin asked.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “Once it’s made, you will naturally know what it is for.”
