Chapter 2070 - The Immovable Wisdom King's Seal
Chapter 2070: The Immovable Wisdom King’s Seal
Jinlong was aggressive as it unleashed an unparallelly mighty Supreme Saint aura that spread across all directions like a tide, causing everything to tremble as if it was the master of this part of the world.
Facing Jinlong’s massive body, Pan Ruo looked undoubtedly very tiny, and could be crushed to pieces at any moment.
If it was any other person, they would have knelt on the ground in fear, but Pan Ruo was very calm as her eyes looked at Jinlong with resolute calmness.
“What strong willpower, this Netherkin junior sure isn’t any pushover.” Jinling said to itself.
Be it cultivating martial arts or spiritual power, willpower was particularly important, to become a top level Supreme Saint, or even a God, a strong will was indispensable.
Even if one’s basic aptitude was weaker, as long as one had a tenacious will, one could still achieve quite some significant things.
Looking at Jinling for a moment, Pan Ruo said slowly. “The Hundred Dragon Cuirass is an item passed down from generation to generation by the Zhang clan, so naturally the Zhang clan had given this to me.”
“Stop spouting nonsense. How could someone from the Zhang clan hand the cuirass to a Netherkin like you? You think I’m that easy to fool?” Jinlong yelled.
In an instant, the aura radiating from Jinlong became even stronger as it constant crushed at Pan Ruo.
Pan Ruo said indifferently. “Times had changed. You had been asleep for too long in the Darkmourn Mountains, and there are many things that you will not understand at all. There is a deep reason why the Zhang clan handed me the Emperor Ming’s Hundread Dragon Cuirass. When you return with me to the Infernal Court, you will naturally get the answers you seek.”
After a pause, she continued. “Although I am a Netherkin, but I may not necessarily be your enemy, and those of the Celestial Court may not necessarily be your friends.”
Her words undoubtedly contained deep meanings, and had vaguely revealed a lot of information.
Hearing this, Jinlong could not help but to show a contemplative look. One thing it could be sure of was that even if there was a loser in the Zhang clan, the cuirass would not so easily fall into the hands of the others, especially into the hands of an Infernal Court cultivator.
And it had noticed that the Zhang clan mark on the cuirass had not been erased.
This way, not only it could determine that the Emperor Ming’s Hundred Dragon Armor had not truly changed hands, and Jinlong could also perceive the existence of the Zhang clan bloodline.
“Thank goodness that there are surviving kin of the Zhang clan. Otherwise, it would be me who had been negligent of my duty.” Jinlong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Pan Ruo actually withstood the massive pressure as she slowly formed a mudra in her hand and a faint Bodhi light appeared on her left palm, forming a strange seal.
As soon as the seal appeared, it exuded a mysterious charm, giving someone a sense that they were unmoving as the earth, and a hint of the Will of the Vajras, unshakable and indestructible.
Jinlong cast its gaze on the seal in Pan Ruo’s hand as the look in its eyes changed drastically, as it exclaimed. “The Immovable Wisdom King’s Seal!”
“How did you have the seal? Who are you?”
Jinlong was very agitated, that its voice also trembled a little.
Pan Ruo took all of Jinlong’s reaction into her eyes as she said calmly. “You don’t need to know where I got the Immovable Wisdom King’s Seal from, you only need to know the significance it represents.”
Hearing this, Jinlong could not help but to furrow its brows as many dusty memories quickly surfaced in its mind.
The Immovable Wisdom King’s Seal was no trivial matter, and it had a very significant background, related to the Immovable Wisdom King of the Zhang clan.
However, to this day, few people know that as the Immovable Wisdom King had long became a legend, and this particular hand seal had been lost, even members of the Zhang clan had not mastered it.”
Jinlong had never expected that after so long, the Immovable Wisdom King’s Seal had reappeared in this world, and for it to reappear on the person of a Netherkin woman.
For the Emperor Mings Hundred Dragon Cuirass and the Immovable Wisdom King’s Seal to appear on the same person, it was absolutely impossible for it to be a coincidence.
“I wonder what is the origin of this Netherkin woman? For her to get the heritence of the Immovable Wisdom King’s Seal, and to successfully cultivate it, is she the chosen successor of His Eminance? Why would he chose a Netherkin as his heritor?”
“A long time ago, His Eminance had dealt with the Infernal Court, and fought very fiercely against them. Logically speaking, he would not have any links to the Infernal Court, but for a Netherkin to be able to cultivate the Bodhi Arts, that probably has a lot of do with His Eminance. What sort of plans did had he made?”
Jinlong thought to itself, but was unable to figure out what the Immovable Wisdom King had in mind.
Before that, Jinlong had never thought that it would encounter such a situation, so for a good while, it had no idea what to do.
After much thought, Jinlong looked at Pan Ruo again, and said solemnly. “For the sake of you having cultivated the Immovable Wisdom King’s Seal, I shall spare you. Leave the Darkmourn Mountains, and return to the Infernal Court.”
When it comes to His Eminance the Immovable Wisdom King, Jinlong naturally dared not act rashly. With so many things that he did not understand now, chasing Pan Ruo away should be the best choice.
Pan Ruo took a deep look at Jinlong as an old mottled Gate of Destiny appeared behind her as countless Precepts of Destiny within it flowed, revealing many obscure imageries.
“Hmmm? The Emperor Ming’s Hundred Dragon Armor will be broken?”
Jinlong caught onto one of the scenes and could not help but to show a look of surprise.
Pan Ruo put away the Gate of Destiny and said seriously. “In the near future, you will encounter a great tribulation, if you cannot surmount it, your cultivation over so many Yuanhui’s will be all for nothing.”
“You dare to curse me? Want to see me squeeze you to death with my claw right now?” Jinlong puffed its beard and glared at her as it raised one of its dragon claws.
Pan Ruo was not afraid as she continued. “My main cultivation is the Path of Destiny, and I can see the fates of all life. You are destiny to under go a great tribulations, and only I can help you resolve it.”
“Nonsense! You think you can scare me? I am invincible, and who can do anything to me?” Jinlong spat disdainfully.
As the vessel spirit of an ancient Supreme Sacred Artifact, Jinlong had survived many Yuanhui Tribulations, and its strength had grown to an astonishing level, it did not believe that there was a tribulation that could threaten it.
Pan Ruo wore a serious look as she slowly spoke three words. “The Soul Devouring Lamp.”
Hearing this, Jinlong’s heart shuddered. The reason why the vessel spirits of the Supreme Sacred Artifacts had hidden themselves at first, was to avoid the Yuanhui Tribulation, but at the same time, was also to avoid the Divine Artifact of the Infernal Court, the devouring of the Soul Devouring Lamp.
The Soul Devouring Lamp was just too terrifying. During the battle between Kunlun Realm and the Infernal Court during the Middle Ages, Jinlong had witnessed with its own eyes many powerful vessel spirits were devoured by the lamp, and even the vessel spirit of Divine Artifact were also severely damaged.
The Soul Devourer Lamp was literally the nemesis of vessel spirits, and encountering one was definitely a disaster.
Jinlong was not afraid of anything, but the Soul Devouring Lamp.
Although it was shocked, but on the surface, Jinlong still appeared very calm, saying. “Don’t use the Soul Devouring Lamp to scare me. It’s not like I’ve not dealt with it before. It won’t be easy for it to devour me.”
But immediately after, Jinlong changed its tone and said. “However, I’ve been asleep in the Darkmourn Mountains for a hundred thousand years now, and I’m bored of this place, I don’t mind going out for a walk.”
“You should have a good understanding of the outside world, so you’ll lead me on then. As long as you listen to me, and feed me well with delicious food, I will not treat you badly. Just giving you pointers alone will give you endless benefits.”
Hearing this, a look of contempt appeared in Pan Ruo’s eyes as she stretched her hand out and said. “Return the Emperor Ming’s Hundred Dragon Cuirass to me first.”
“Take it, and keep it well for me.”
Jinlong waved its dragon claws and simply just tossed the Hundred Dragon Cuirass to Pan Ruo.
In any case, as long as it wanted to, it could take the armor back at any time.
Pan Ruo took the armor and put it inside her body once again and then ignored Jinlong as she continued to climb the human-shaped mountain and absorb the Fragments of Destiny, comprehending the Path of Destiny.
It was rare to have such an excellent spot to cultivate her Path of Destiny, and Pan Ruo naturally will not let it slip her by.
Only when she was strong enough that she could do whatever she wanted.
“Bo-ring.”
Jinlong pouted as it took out a jerky and starting gnawing on it.
It really wanted to go to the outside world soon, but if Pan Ruo wanted to comprehend the Path of Destiny here, then it could only wait by her side.
…
Zhouwan Sacred Grounds, within the Sect of the Blood God.
Blackie led many of the sects disciples and quickly repaired the three Ninth-Rank Formations and divine runes of Yingzhu Peak.
Fortunately, the Rune Suppression Stone only created a gap in the formation, and it was not severely damage, so repairing them were not troublesome.
With the guardian array was fixed, there was no need to consume the power of the Blood God’s Altar to form the Bloodmist Barrier.
The Blood God’s Altar was of great importance, and the power accumulated in it was better not used if at all possible.
Inside Guiyan Hall, Zhang Ruochen looked at the many treasures before him, but there was a sigh in his eyes. “Unfortunately, the Infernal Purgatory Tower, the Nethersun Wheel and the Tome of Light cannot be refined, and cannot be used.”
The Nethersun Wheel and the Tome of Light were both Ancient Divine Artifacts, such treasures usually needed to be compatible with the user to unleash its powerful strength. Otherwise, they could only use some surface power, and would not be as good as some top-level Sacred Artifacts.
Unless one was strong enough to forcibly refine it, there was no need to bother whether it was compatible or not.
And the Infernal Purgatory Tower was a powerful Supreme Sacred Artifact, and had already recognized Xuetu as its master. With Zhang Ruochen’s current strength, it was not enough to forcibly refine it, so he could only keep it under suppression.
The three most precious treasures he had obtained can only be shelved, which was a pity to anyone.
Then there’s the Purple-gold Demonic Spear, and the Blade of the Voracious Wolf, Zhang Ruochen had no use for these two weapons. After all, he had never trained in the arts of the spear or the blade, so he would not be able to unleash their full might in his hands.
It was the Blacksoul Umbrella that Zhang Ruochen valued. He had handed it over to the Divine Sword Manor for them to fuse it with the Eight Dragon Umbrella to make a stronger weapon.
With his current cultivation strength, the Eight Dragon Umbrella and the Nine-dragon Carriage’s item level were undoubtedly too low, and was no use in battle. So he needed to further improve them.
After counting all of the treasures, Zhang Ruochen summoned everyone from the Sect of the Blood God.
After repeated fierce battles, Zhang Ruochen had many thoughts and wanted to use the Sundial to seclude himself for refining for a period of time.
Like last time, the place for this seclusion was sitll Qianyuan Mountain.
Before the seclusion, Zhang Ruochen took out more than a dozen divine objects and gave them to Mu Lingxi, Han Xue, Jin Yu and the others. He already had the five Five-element Divine Objects Great Emperor Ji Mie had brought him, and was enough for him to cast his Five-Element Chaotic Immortal Saint Body, and so there was no need to keep the rest.
“Fifth Senior Brother, this King’s Weapon is yours.”
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Ruochen tossed the Purple-gold Demonic Spear to Bao Lie.
Bao Lie immediately grabbed it and said with great surprise. “I finally have a King’s Weapon! Hahaha, thank you Junior Brother.”
With the Purple-gold Demonic Spear, his strength was bound to be greatly improved.
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen took out the Blade of the Voracious Wolf and handed it to Mu Lingxi, saying. “Lingxi, while the Blade of the Voracious Wolf is slightly damaged, but as long as it is nourished with demonic energy for a period of time, it can be completely repaired.”
Mu Lingxi was born to the Moon Worship Demonic Sect, and had cultivated a powerful demonic exercises, and was the best candidate to refine the Blade of the Voracious Wolf.
Naturally, Mu Lingxi would not be reserved with Zhang Ruochen, and simply just put away the blade before stretching her hand out and said. “It’s not enough to just have the Blade of the Voracious Wolf, you also need ot lend me the Demonic Voracious Wolf Portrait for me to study it for a while. Otherwise I won’t be able to draw out its full power.”
“What do you mean by lending you? What’s mine is yours. Take it.” Zhang Ruochen waved his hand and took out the Demonic Voracious Wolf Portrait.
In fact, even if Mu Lingxi had not asked for it, he would still give her the Demonic Voracious Wolf Portrait.
Zhang Ruochen had always been generous when it came to treating Mu Lingxi.
After arranging everything, Zhang Ruochen delayed no longer and immediately activated the Sundial. The power of time covered a radius of hundreds of feet, enveloping everyone on Qianyuan Mountain inside it.
Immediately, everyone quickly entered a cultivation state.
In the earlier battle, all of those in the Sect of the Blood God were aware of their own weakness, so much so that they cannot even protect themselves, much less guarding the Sect of the Blood God.
Affected by this, they were all desperate to become stronger, and never wanted to see what that had happened before happen again.
Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged directly under the Sundial. Before him, eleven Demonstone Engravings were lined up, as he held the Secret Tome of Time and Space in his hand.
At Zhang Ruochen’s side, the Ancient Abyssal Blade was doing its best refining pieces of sacred artifacts. It was now a Sacred Artifact of Tenth Radiance, and although it was not weak by any means, it was also obviously not enough now. It needed to continue to increase its item level, so that it could transform into a King’s Weapon as soon as possible.
In this seclusion, Zhang Ruochen had a very clear plan, and there were four things that he wanted to achieve.
First, was to try and unlock the seal left behind by Yueshen on Yanshen’s leg, and unlock the second level of the god’s leg’s power. That power should be a Supreme Saint-level power.
The second goal was to create a sword technique that belonged to him alone, and take a crucial step forward in his Path of the Sword.
The third goal was to cultivate more Precepts of Time and Precepts of Dimensions. As his main focused paths, his Precepts of Dimensional only numbered a hundred thousand, while his Precepts of Time only numbered seventy thousand, that was without a doubt too few. This would also have no small impact on his strength.
There was also the Precepts of Truth, and it was necessary to cultivate more so that he could multiply the power of his attacks by nine times as soon as possible.
Now that Zhang Ruochen already possessed thirty-ninth of ten thousand Canon of Truth, he should be able to get twice the result with half the effort in his comprehension of various precepts.
The fourth goal was to do everything possible to break through his current cultivation level. In the face of so many powerful enemies, his Precept Dominion realm was undoubtedly too low, and he was restricted in many aspects.
If he could break through to the realm of Heaven’s Reach, his strength will undoubtedly make a significant qualitative leap, and should he encounter powerful enemies at the level like Zou Yu and Mo Sheng, it would not be so difficult to fight them.
After setting his goals, Zhang Ruochen calmed himself down as he summoned all six of his Divine Aspects, and soon entered a deep cultivation state, unaffected by anything on the outside.
