God Emperor

"Boom."

A large amount of holy energy erupts from the underground holy veins of Yuanxu Peak Holy Land, flowing through the air and connecting to the sky. Wherever the holy energy passed, formation inscriptions were activated, emitting brilliant brilliance.

After a moment, nine layers of white clouds enveloped the Holy Land of Yuanxu Peak, much like a nine-story tower sitting on the earth, looking particularly majestic and majestic.

"Nine Cloud Tower Formation."

"In Yuanxu Peak Holy Land, there is actually a Formation Saint Master who has arranged an eighth-level formation. Who is that Formation Saint Master? If I can get his guidance, my attainments in formations will definitely improve by leaps and bounds."

…

…………

The monks outside the Holy Land were all talking about it and felt incredible.

It should be noted that only formation masters who can arrange eighth-level formations can be called "formation saint masters".

Every Formation Saint Master has a lofty status.

Not only saints and saint kings will seek help from them, but sometimes even transcendent and powerful people like the Great Sage will seek help from the Formation Saint Master.

The Yuanxu Peak Holy Land is just one of the more than ten holy lands in the Red Dragon Holy Land. It is not very unique. However, the emergence of "Zhang Ruochen" has made it one of the famous holy lands in the Shatuo Heavenly Territory. Many monks rushed to seek refuge.

Now, the emergence of another Formation Saint Master will undoubtedly make Yuanxu Peak Holy Land even more famous.

Zhang Ruochen stood at the foot of the cliff, raised his head and looked up at the sky, saying: "Eighth level formation... Xiaohei, your attainments in formation are really beyond my expectations."

Princess Rakshasa's senior sister, Ji Hua, is also a formation saint master.

The Thousand Stars Formation arranged by Ji Hua was an eighth-level formation. The formation was so powerful that it almost wiped out the entire army of saints from the Seven Realms of Shatuo.

Therefore, the attack power of the Formation Saint Master is also quite scary.

Could it be that Xiao Hei also has the same strength as Ji Hua?

Xiao Hei showed a rather complacent expression and said: "My emperor's mental power has not been fully recovered, otherwise, the ninth-grade formation can be arranged."

Zhang Ruochen knew that he couldn't praise it, and once he praised it, he forgot who he was, so he added: "It is also an eighth-grade formation, but there is a big difference in the power of the formation, right?"

"That's natural."

"The more inscriptions there are in a formation, and the more complex the inscriptions are, the more powerful it will be."

"Furthermore, the same eighth-grade formation is deployed by formation masters with different mental strengths, and the power it unleashes is also very different." Xiao Hei said.

"What is the level of the Nine-layer Cloud Tower Formation among the eighth-level formations?" Zhang Ruochen wanted to know more clearly.

"Nine-fold Cloud Tower Formation is of course one of the top defensive and protective formations among the eighth-level formations. Just laying out the inscriptions required for the formation can produce thousands of books and fill a library. Ordinary formations Holy Master, it would be impossible to arrange it without decades of research and countless verifications."

Xiao Hei is even more proud.

Zhang Ruochen also had some understanding of formations, and knew that setting up a high-level formation was definitely more difficult than building a city.

"but……"

Xiao Hei hesitated for a moment, and then said honestly: "However, there are still many imperfections in the nine-fold cloud tower array arranged by this emperor."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

Xiao Hei said: "The main reason is that there are some mysterious formation inscriptions that require special materials to be burned out."

"So, you didn't burn those mysterious inscriptions into the Nine Layers of Clouds Tower Formation?" Zhang Ruochen said.

"There is no way, the material carrying the inscription is too difficult to find."

Naturally, Xiao Hei would not tell Zhang Ruochen. There was another more important reason, that is, with its current mental strength, it simply could not carve out those mysterious inscriptions.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Hei coughed twice and said: "Actually, the most important reason why the eighth-level formation can trap and kill the Holy King is that it needs a formation soul to lead the formation. The ninth-level formation arranged by this emperor The Cloud Tower Formation... did not find a suitable formation soul... Hehe..."

Zhang Ruochen was a little speechless, knowing that he had overestimated Xiao Hei again, and said: "The formation is incomplete, and there is no formation soul. So, how much power of the Nine Layer Cloud Tower Formation can be exerted by this formation?"

"About 10%!"

Xiao Hei's voice was a little low, and he was obviously quite guilty, and then he said: "After all, the Nine Clouds Tower Formation is the top defensive and protective formation. Even if it can only exert 10% of its power, it is not something that ordinary Saint Kings can break in." . It takes at least the cultivation of a five-step holy king to be able to break through the formation."

"The five-step holy king... is enough!"

Zhang Ruochen nodded slightly and said: "The Five-step Holy King is already a super strong one among the Holy Kings. Once he takes action with all his strength, the movement caused will be huge. The Barbarian Sword Great Sage will definitely be able to sense the aura immediately. With the cultivation of the Barbarian Sword Great Sage, once he notices a powerful enemy breaking into the Red Dragon Sanctuary, he can kill him even if he is ten thousand miles away."

Zhang Ruochen doesn't have to worry about enemies that are too strong. The Moon God and the Barbarian Sword Master will help him deal with them.

Zhang Ruochen only needs to be wary of enemies below the Three-Step Saint King, because their aura is relatively weak, and even if they launch an attack, it is not easy for the Great Saint to detect them.

After all, the Great Sage also has to practice and has his own things to do, so he can't always focus on Zhang Ruochen.

In addition, Moon God also wanted to sharpen Zhang Ruochen, so he did not stay at Moon God Mountain. Zhang Ruochen's current achievements are due to this kind of cruel training.

Zhang Ruochen flipped his palm and took out the Mercury gourd.

As the holy energy was poured into it, the Mercury gourd became larger and larger, and finally turned into a gourd mountain, suspended in mid-air.

The lid is opened, and a large amount of holy spring flows from the mouth of the gourd.

"Crash."

The holy spring with a refreshing fragrance pours down like a continuous white waterfall.

Soon, under the Mercury Gourd, the white holy spring gathered into a lake.

"These holy springs were brought back from the ancestral spirit world to help me refine them into Ningzhen Holy Dew. In addition, soon, a group of semi-saints from the Shengming Central Empire will arrive from the Moon God Mountain. By then, You have to train them to the best of your ability.”

After ordering these two things, Zhang Ruochen took back the Mercury Gourd, turned it into a stream of light, rushed into a training cave, and began to practice in seclusion.

The Qiankun Realm in Zhang Ruochen's body was sealed by the Moon God again when he entered the Heavenly Realm. However, all the semi-saint monks in the Qiankun Realm were picked up in advance.

Semi-sacred monks are still very capable of shaping.

In order to repay Zhang Ruochen's favor, the Moon God left those semi-saints in the Moon God Mountain. Together with the semi-saints from the Guanghan Realm, they were baptized by the power of the moonlight in the Moon God Mountain to temper their bodies and holy souls.

At that time, the time agreed between Zhang Ruochen and Moon God was one month, so it would take a month for those semi-saints to come to Yuanxu Peak Holy Land.

After all, the monks in the old Shengming Central Empire and the Qiankun Realm are Zhang Ruochen's direct descendants, and they are also the force that Zhang Ruochen values ​​most.

Entering the training cave, Zhang Ruochen immediately took out the monument shield, placed it on the stone table, stretched out a finger and pressed it on the space-time crystal.

"Wow——"

The space shook slightly.

The next moment, Zhang Ruochen had entered the inner space of the space-time crystal and was sitting cross-legged in the center of the inner space.

He took out a bottle of Ningzhen Holy Dew, swallowed it into his mouth, and started refining it.

In the Ancestral Spirit Realm, Zhang Ruochen is not short of cultivation resources and has a large amount of Holy Dew of Condensation in his hands, but he is short of time.

Now that there is finally no shortage of time, Zhang Ruochen naturally wants to improve his cultivation to the peak of the Holy Saint as soon as possible.

Two months later.

Zhang Ruochen refined 50,000 drops of Ningzhen Holy Dew, and almost consumed all the Ningzhen Holy Dew he stole from other saints, and his cultivation reached the peak of the Holy Saint in one fell swoop.

From the early stage to the peak, Zhang Ruochen's strength increased dramatically, and the rules of the holy way in the sea of ​​​​qi were condensed to the extreme.

Zhang Ruochen was in a very happy mood and said to himself: "At the peak of the Holy Saint, the three hundred and seventy-two rules of the Holy Path in the body can no longer be condensed. Only by comprehending the new rules of the Holy Path can the cultivation continue. promote."

There are three hundred and seventy-two holy rules in the sea of ​​​​qi, each of which is different. There are sword rules, space rules, time rules, speed rules, palm rules... They represent Zhang Ruochen's three hundred and seventy rules. The two rules of the Holy Path are integrated into the Holy Soul.

These three hundred and seventy-two rules of the Holy Way are the foundation of Zhang Ruochen's Holy Way, and are called "rule seeds".

Only by allowing the "seeds of rules" to take root can one reach the realm of a half-step holy king.

"I choose the rules of time, the rules of space, and the rules of swordsmanship as the roots of the rule seeds. I major in these three rules, and all the other 369 rules of the holy way are branches and leaves." Zhang Ruochen made such a decision.

Generally speaking, a Holy Path monk will only choose one Holy Path rule as the root of the rule seed.

It is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Zhang Ruochen to choose three types at the same time.

There is no way around this. First of all, the way of time and the way of space are both eternal ways, and they must be the main path.

However, the Way of Time and the Way of Space are both too difficult to cultivate. If you only choose them as "roots", Zhang Ruochen doesn't know how much time it will take to reach the realm of the Half-Step Saint King.

Therefore, he must choose the rules of swordsmanship as an aid to help him quickly improve his cultivation level.

"The rules of time and space are too difficult to comprehend and take a lot of time. It is better to understand the rules of swordsmanship first and improve your cultivation to the realm of a half-step saint king or even a step saint king as soon as possible."

"In the heavenly realm, only by becoming a holy king can one initially enter the forest of strong men."

Sword Dao is one of the seventy-two supreme holy paths. It is illusory, but it actually exists between heaven and earth.

Only relying on monks to use their mental power to perceive and understand, the speed of cultivation must be quite slow.

The fastest way to understand the way of swordsmanship is definitely to refine and absorb the rules and sacred tools of swordsmen, and directly transform the opponent's rules of swordsmanship into your own rules.

However, it is difficult to find a regular artifact, and it will only become more difficult to find a sword cultivator's regular artifact.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen's heart moved, thinking of the regular imperial weapon collected from the ancestral spirit world.

That Rules Imperial Artifact was left behind by Patriarch Wujin and represented the crystallization of Patriarch Wujin’s holy cultivation. It was made up of an unknown number of trillions of rules. It was definitely a peerless treasure.

At first, Zhang Ruochen, along with A Le, Han Qiu and others, spent a lot of effort to get this regular imperial weapon from the hands of the Sword Prison Realm and the Zifu Realm.
