Chapter 1694: Divine Fire Jingmie, evolved

Since trading for the large amount of Saint Fruits and Saint Herbs with the Ancient Civilization Sect, he did not have much time to consume and absorb them. Only now did he have time to quickly increase his cultivation level.

Before long, he managed to finish digesting all the Saint Fruits and Herbs he carried with him.

The number of Rules of Saintly Way had almost doubled, with the total being about ninety thousand.

Within his lower abdomen, the Heaven Pass River had broadened, with the ninety thousand Saintly Rules swimming within like dragons and snakes. That made Zhang Ruochen ever more powerful.

Even then, he seemed to be a bit lacking in his cultivation level compared to the level of the Fourth-step Saint King.

Since the Heaven Pass River had only broadened, the speed at which the rules moved within did not actually increase in speed.

“I could already feel that the Heaven Pass River is shaking. If I could obtain a few more Peerless Saint Fruit, or Saint Herbs that is even more ancient, I would be able to reach the next step.” Zhang Ruochen quietly muttered.

That said, given his drastic increase in power, in his current state he could easily defeat the experts like Blue Fang and Yuwen Jing.

Then again, the difference between having a breakthrough and not having one is like night and day. It would have made him incomparable to before.

“Swish!”

The curtains of the Saint Carriage opened, and three Saint Fruits and a sixty-thousand year old Saint Medicine Plant flew out.

Fairy Tianchu’s voice could be heard, “Take it, it’s a gift.”

After grabbing that three Saint Fruit and that Saint Herb, he could immediately tell that within a huge amount of energy is within them. They seemed to be found within this ancient ruins, and each was in itself an invaluable item.

“As expected, Fairy Tianchu is still cautious of me. She is keeping an eye on me even now.”

Regardless of what motive Fairy Tianchu had, this move improved her image in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes drastically.

Afterall, Zhang Ruochen had already promised her to help her to obtain the Holy Spring. She definitely did not have to give him anything else.

In fact, helping Zhang Ruochen to improve his cultivation had no benefit to her at all.

“Don’t think too much. I merely wanted to make a friend. I am also confident of Chen Jing’s judgement. A man that she could take notice of would definitely not be a devious person.” It was then Fairy Tianchu’s voice sounded again.

“Since Fairy treats me so sincerely, it is only nature for me to return the favor.”

Zhang Ruochen nodded, and consumed another Saint Fruit.

The first fruit was already enough to increase the number of Rules of Saintly Way by about four thousand. The motions of the Heaven Pass River became more intense. This was indeed a sign that he was about to make a breakthrough.

Zhang Ruochen carried on, and consumed the rest all at once.

At that moment, Saint Light covered his body as a unique fragrance was emitted out from him.

Within his lower abdomen came a loud rumbling, as though there was a thunderstorm brewing. Sometimes, the Saint Qi emitted outwards, sometimes, Saint Qi was being channeled inwards. Before his cultivation level had increased, his physical body and the Saint Soul had started to evolve.

“Breaking through to the Fourth-step Saint King would trigger an evolution on the level of life?” Zhang Ruochen was rather surprised himself.

One must understand that only when making major breakthroughs across different cultivation levels will there usually be evolution on the level of life.

For example:

Below the Fish-Dragon realm, all are just normal humans.

The Fish-Dragon realm would be the transition from a normal human to a Half-Saint

And since Half-Saint and a normal human are different levels in the Levels of Life, a Half-Saint would have a drastically longer lifespan.

The same could be said of a Saint and a Half-Saint. And that also applies to between a Saint King and a Saint, where there Saint King could live to a thousand years and beyond.

But such evolution happening with breaking through from the Third-step Saint King to Fourth-step Saint King was something that Zhang Ruochen had not expected at all.

Within his lower abdomen, there was an even more surprising change.

As Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Qi followed the methods in the Eighth level of the Emperor Ming Nine-sky Scripture, the Divine Fire Jingmie that was suspended within his lower abdomen turned into a threads of fire, and merged with the Saint Qi which then entered his meridians.

At the start, Zhang Ruochen was completely shocked as he was worried that he could not control the Divine Fire Jingmie.

That was because, as long as there was the slightest of error, all of his meridians could suffer irreparable damage, and even his body could be torched into mere dust.

After all, since ancient times, those who self-ignited due to the backlash of failing to control the Divine Fire was actually not that rare even amongst geniuses and experts.

But as the Divine Fire Jingmie circulated within his body, Zhang Ruochen discovered that the originally blue color flames had become a translucent white flame.

That is… Official Flames.

Divine Fire Jingmie had finally evolved from ordinary flames to official flames.

Zhang Ruochen was ecstatic, and thought: Emperor Ming Nine-Sky Scriptures could even assist in the cultivation of Divine Fire Jingmie. This was such an unexpected surprise.

Following with Zhang Ruochen concentrated on refining his cultivation, and gradually, all the ordinary flames had transformed into official flames.

Even though it seemed like it was just a simple increase in rank, the power of Diving Fire Jingmie had increased exponentially.

Official flames could smelt and refine Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Qi to become even more condensed. That meant that the quality of his Saint Qi was much higher than before as well.

Zhang Ruochen’s body now was like a furnace.

The Divine Fire Jingmie was like the flames in the furnace that could temper everything within his body to become tougher and more powerful. That even included Saint Soul and Saintly Source.

“The number of Rules of Saint Way had reached a hundred and ten thousand, with the speed of the Heaven Pass River significantly faster. I should have indeed broken through to the Fourth-step Saint King.” Zhang Ruochen finally smiled.

With his current power, with the flip of his hand, he could suppress Blue Fang. Within a few moves, he could kill Yuwen Jing.

Thinking of them, Zhang Ruochen took out the two treasures that the two of them had obtained, wanting to tinker with them to find out more.

First, it was the Word Armor of Blue Fang.

That armor was made of three thousand six hundred and ninety three words. Every word could either be an unique individual, and could merge with other words.

And each word alone could be either a shield, or a flying dart.

That meant it could both defend and attack.

“These words seem quite special. There is the presence of the Supreme Saint on it.”

After thinking about it carefully, he activated his new Divine Fire Jingmie and started to remove the remaining presence of Blue Fang on the Word Armor.

Whoosh-

Zhang Ruochen injected his Saint Qi in to the armor

At the instance, the Word Armor suddenly dissipated and turned into individual words and floated to the sky, arranged neatly.

“Rhapsody of Enlightenment.”

Zhang Ruochen was surprised. He had not expected that the Word Armor was actually a work of literature that was filled with deep philosophical implications.

Not only that, that prose above his head emitted an aura of the Supreme Saint, and gave him immense pressure.

Fairy Tianchu explained, “That was a summary of a Supreme Saint on his cultivation. His spiritual powers were remaining within it, and possibly along with even his Way.”

Zhang Ruochen lightly nodded.

This prose was similar to Kunlun Field’s Saint Book Ruzu of the Confucian Sect.

The only difference was that the ones who wrote those Saint Books had reached an apex of power, and as such the power of those books would naturally be beyond that of the Rhapsody of Enlightment.

Of course, that did not mean that it was weak. Back then, only by using Fire God Fist Armor was Zhang Ruochen able to penetrate its defenses.

“Return.”

Zhang Ruochen lightly commanded.

The words floating in the air swirled and returned, covering Zhang Ruochen, and forming an armor of words.

Zhang Ruochen carefully examined it, and stated, “This was indeed befitting of the summary by a Supreme Saint. Wearing it felt as though the remnants of the Supreme Saint’s power was added to me. No wonder Blue Fang was able to be stronger than me back there.”

Fairy Tianchu walked out of the Saint Carriage and stood gently on the ground. Wearing the veil, she seemed like a deity from the heavens.

“Has Fairy’s wounds recovered?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Fairy Tianchu kept the White Peacock Carriage, and replied, “I have mostly recovered, and all is well. Isn’t that Armor of Enlightenment Blue Fang’s treasure? Did you kill him?”

“The consequences of killing others in God-naming Platform is rather severe. Moreover, with Blue Fang’s abilities, it would be extremely difficult for me to kill him. This armor was found lying around.”

Fairy Tianchu naturally did not believe him. After all, anyone who killed others in the God-naming Platform would deny it.

Zhang Ruochen then took out the twelve pieces of Divine Bones and passed to Fairy Tianchu, and smiled, “This was picked up from the same place. I would like to gift this to you in return for the Saint Fruits and Saint Herbs you had given me just now.”

“This is Yuwen Jing’s Twelve Palace Divine Formation! Did you also kill Yuwen Jing?” Fairy Tianchu could not help but to re-examine this human before her. He was really too daring, and dared to even kill Godly Disciples.

Zhang Ruochen shrugged, “I merely found them lying around.”

Twelve Palace Divine Formation was indeed a rather powerful formation, and could bring about powers of Heaven and Earth by invoking the rules within the bones. However, they were a dangerous treasure. Fairy Tianchu would naturally not want it.

Zhang Ruochen sighed, “Since Fairy doesn’t want it, guess Lin Yue could only repay your kindness another day.”

“If you could obtain the Holy Spring for me, I will owe you a favour.” Fairy Tianchu declared.

Zhang Ruochen stared into Fairy Tianchu’s eyes for a moment, and quietly remarked, “If I were to be able to get the Holy Spring for you, given your promise, shouldn’t you marry me?”

Fairy Tianchu did not show a sign change in emotion, and replied, “You are not such a person. I already know that your willpower is unimaginably strong. Below a Supreme Saint, I had never see any living creature with willpower that is stronger than yours.”

“You can see willpower?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Fairy Tianchu answered, “There is a treasure that prevents others from detecting your willpower, and you seemed to be using some kind of secret spell to further cover it up. Yet, I could still roughly see it. ”

“Why did you think I always wanted to maintain a good relationship with you? It was really because of your massive willpower. For someone like you, even if you do not have supreme complete body constitution, as long as your willpower remains firm, you would definitely become a powerful being in the world.”

“For someone like you, how could you be affected by lust? That promise I made, had no effect on you at all.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled, “I never thought that Fairy would think so highly of an unknown person like me. Should I feel honored?”

“Unknown? I don’t think so.”

Fairy Tianchu’s expression was solemn, and continued, “Actually, I am more curious, how did you manage to practice your willpower to reach such heights? Even if the Invincible Might is used to suppress you, you would probably not relent.”
