Chapter 1224: Consolidating Saintly Look

The so-called “true dragon” had been a divine dragon before becoming a god. After the divine dragons went extinct, no one dared to call themselves “true dragons” anymore.

However, some descendants with divine dragon blood could awaken the bloodline hidden deep within them. They could cultivate the true dragon form of a young divine dragon.

Ao Xinyan was extremely talented. With Zhang Ruochen and Blackie’s help, she got closer and closer to a true dragon form.

According to the various Saints’ guesses in the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan, she could complete the form after undergoing the three Pre-Saint Trials and combining her bloodline with her body.

Under the clan’s full support, Ao Xinyan’s cultivation speed was very shocking. She’d already gone through the first Pre-Saint Trial.

She was the woman that they Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon had his eyes on. She may become the new treasure of Ancient Dragon Mountain. The two Saint Dragons naturally couldn’t offend her.

Saint Dragon Ye Hong stepped out. “The Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan is part of the dragon race. We should work for the future of Ancient Dragon Mountain. We will give the clan leader a few days to consider this. When the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon arrives at Divine Dream Marsh, I hope you can give us a satisfactory reply.”

The two Saint Dragons left Divine Dragon Pavilion, but didn’t leave the clan. They would stay at Divine Dream Marsh for now.

The upper level figures of the clan were all furious.

“The Dragon Saints of Ancient Dragon Mountain are too authoritative,” a hot-tempered man growled. “He hurt the clan leader without any warning. Clan Leader, are we just going to let them go like this?”

An elder of the clan sighed. “The Ancient Dragon Mountain has existed since ancient times. No one knows how powerful they are. Perhaps they still had fears when the First Central Emperor was at its peak. But now, the Empress has gone missing and the empire is in unprecedented chaos. There are no forces in the entire Kunlun’s Field that they fear. If we try to go against them, it’ll be like an egg attacking a stone.”

The older figures present were all clear how powerful Ancient Dragon Mountain was. Thus, they also understood the clan leader’s difficulty.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t defeat the two Dragon Saints. It was that the consequences of defeating them may wipe out the entire clan.

“Clan Leader,” a Saint said. “Are we really going to listen to the Ancient Dragon Mountain’s orders?”

“They don’t even see us as part of the dragon race. They believe that we have lowly bloodlines and only want to use us as cannon fodder. Listening to their orders, we will only walk toward death.”

“Correct. The Ancient Dragon Mountain only wants to turn us into servants and slaves. We can’t work for them, even if we die.”

…

This matter pertained to the lives of millions of Divine Dragon and Half Humans. Ao Yi’s heart was also in a mess. This was extremely troublesome.

If they didn’t listen to the Ancient Dragon Mountain, they would definitely suffer cruel revenge.

If they listened, the future of the clan would still be dark.

“The Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon and the Ancient Dragon Pavilion are working hard to develop a new treasure,” someone said. “They’ll have a chance to become the second Emperor Bi. How could such a valuable status come to the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan? Did they really come for the princess?”

Ao Yi shot a glance at Ao Xinyan and sighed. “Yan’er, leave Divine Dream Marsh. Return to the Eastern Region Saint Academy to cultivate!”

“No, I’m not leaving.” Ao Xinyan’s eyes were determined. “This is the clan’s most critical moment. How can I escape as the eldest princess?”

Ao Xinyan wasn’t stupid. She already guessed that her grandfather wouldn’t surrender to Ancient Dragon Mountain. A huge war would probably erupt soon.

“After the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon comes,” Ao Yi tried again, “you won’t be able to leave even if you want to. It’s not time for you to be stubborn right now. You should learn to bow when needed.”

“Grandfather, no need to persuade me. I will live and die with the clan.” Ao Xinyan was insistent. Once she made a decision, she would never change her mind.

Ao Xinyan took the injured Ao Jing away from the Divine Dragon Pavilion.

Ao Yi was clear about Ao Xinyan’s personality, so he didn’t force her to do anything. He just started thinking about the plan.

Only the First Central Empire’s imperial court could go against Ancient Dragon Mountain. Thus, he wrote a letter and had someone send it to the Eastern Region Saint King Mansion.

At the same time, he wrote some other letters to invite the forces that the clan was friendly with. He hoped they could aid the clan at the critical moment.

Whether a huge war would erupt or not, it was best to be prepared.

…

Zhang Ruochen sat on the four-winged silver crane. He traveled hurriedly while healing himself.

The four-winged silver crane was shockingly fast. It was comparable to a lower-level Saint. In only one day and night, they’d flown out of the Fallen-gods Mountain Range. They were close to the edge of the Eastern Region, approaching the Savage Barren Territory.

Whoosh—

Zhang Ruochen let out a long breath and stood up, loosening his limbs. After that, he let out a palm print. The air shook violently. A white cloud was pushed dozens of miles away.

“You’re all healed?” Blackie asked.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and shook his head. “I was very badly hurt this time. I can’t heal this quickly. Right now, I’m only 30 or 40% healed. As long as I don’t meet an upper-level Saint, I can defeat any other Saint.”

“You only healed 30 to 40% in one day and night,” Blackie said. “If my Spring Pill is successful, it’ll probably only take an hour for you to heal completely.”

The pill furnace that was making the Spring Pill was placed on the four-winged silver crane’s back. Strands of dark Pill Spirit spread from it, bringing a heavy fragrance. Zhang Ruochen only took a breath, but he already felt the pain in his heart and lungs subside a bit.

“How much longer will it take to be completed?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“The Spring Pill isn’t that amazing of a divine pill, so it won’t take that long. It’ll be completed soon.”

Divine pills also had different classes: basic, middle, upper, earth, and heaven divine pills.

It was said that there were classes higher than the heaven divine pills. However, pills that reached that level all contained powerful spirits. They had human-like intelligence and could turn into human form. They could unleash destructive combat abilities. Even a Saint wouldn’t be able to fight them.

Such a divine pill was extremely rare. They would become undefeatable figures after coming out of the furnace. Who dared to eat them?

The Spring Pill and Divine Origin Pill were both basic divine pills. They were relatively easy to make and didn’t take that much time.

Of course, even a basic divine pill was worth a fortune. Even a Saint would be tempted and fight for one.

Zhang Ruochen stopped healing himself. He started testing just how much he’d improved after undergoing the three Pre-Saint Trials.

A cultivator wouldn’t immediately become a Saint after the trials. They had to first cultivate a Saint Look and create a saintly source. Then they would finally become a Saint.

Right now, Zhang Ruochen was only a Third Trial Pre-Saint. There was still a small distance between him and a Martial Saint.

“After the trial thunders, my Spiritual Power has actually reached the 51st level.” Zhang Ruochen was surprised.

For Spiritual Power Saints, they’d be able to counter mid-level Saints after their Spiritual Power reached the 51st level. Some more powerful ones could even fight upper-level Saints.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen didn’t major in Spiritual Power. He hadn’t cultivated many advanced spells either. He couldn’t unleash such strong combat ability with just his Spiritual Power.

The improvement in Spiritual Power could only strengthen his control of space and time.

After the third Pre-Saint Trial, his combat ability hadn’t improved too much. After all, he could already counter upper-level Saints after his physical body became a Saint. He was already crazy. The accomplishments in Martial Way seemed insignificant now.

Zhang Ruochen had to cultivate his Saintly Look. Only then would his abilities truly improve.

After going through the third Pre-Saint Trial, every cultivator had to use the Rules of Saintly Way that they comprehended to make their own Saintly Look. That way, their combat ability would improve greatly. Their power would also be closer to that of a Saint’s.

“All cultivators who studied the Emperor Ming Nine-sky Scripture would consolidate the Unmovable Emperor Ming Saintly Look. I wonder just how powerful it is.”

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t wait. He closed his eyes and entered the right state. All the Rules of Saintly Way that he’d comprehended were placed before him.

Rules of Sword Way, time, space, Palm Way… All the rules appeared before him. Some were thick, some were thin. They lined up all around Zhang Ruochen.

He raised his arms and forced all the rules together. “Consolidate,” he uttered.

Something unexpected happened. The Rules of Palm Way actually separated from the group and formed a Saintly Look alone. This one wasn’t human-shaped. It was a dragon and an elephant.

The dragon wrapped around the elephant. It shone with golden light, seeming very sacred.

How can this be? How come the Rules of Palm Way separated alone? Can I consolidate various Saintly Looks?

Zhang Ruochen was surprised, not knowing what had happened. Without thinking further, he forged on. He manipulated the Rules of Sword Way and tried to create a second Saintly Look.

If it was possible, then he may very well become the first Martial Saint to have two Saintly Looks.

Perhaps two wasn’t the limit. Maybe he could have three, four…or even more.
