“Interesting.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled slightly, mobilized the Genuine Qi to his fingertips, and pressed them toward the bottom of the elixir bottle.
“Swish!”
Suddenly, streaks of inscriptions appeared on the surface of the elixir bottle.
The palm-sized elixir bottle gradually swelled and grew bigger and bigger, eventually becoming 10 meters tall.
“Is this an Auspicious Vase?” Blackie said in amazement.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “No, it’s merely a Hundred Inscription Weapon. Its size has already developed to the limit, but its storage space is still far smaller than that of the Auspicious Vase.”
The Auspicious Vase, a Space Treasure refined by Zhang Ruochen, was capable of collecting all the water in a pond. In the future, with the enhancement of Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation, its space would become larger and broader.
However, the elixir bottle in front of them could only expand to 10-meter-high at most, and its space was just so big that it could not grow any larger.
So, what on earth was in this elixir bottle?
Zhang Ruochen refined the Vessel Spirit of the elixir bottle with the Genuine Qi, and then, he slowly opened the bottle cap.
“Crack!”
As the cap opened slightly, the bottle vibrated violently and made a loud noise similar to a large river. A mass of multi-colored cloud burst out from the bottle and enveloped Zhang Ruochen, Blackie, and Huang Yanchen.
Both Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen became nervous and quickly released their Celestial Bodyshield. They both had a defensive stance.
Blackie’s eyes lit up, and he happily said, “Don’t be nervous. The gas is Xuanwu Qi; she is not poisonous. What a good thing! It’s great! Even when ordinary people get a whiff of it, their strength will increase so much, that they may even become a gallant master.”
“Is it really that magical?”
Huang Yanchen drew back his Celestial Bodyshield, closed her eyes and secretly ran the exercises. Then she adjusted her breathing and took a deep breath.
With a swoosh, wisps of colorful air rushed into her body.
As a wisp of Xuanwu Qi entered her body, it turned into a river of Genuine Qi and converged to the Qi sea between the eyebrows. Then, it flowed out of the Qi sea, entered the Meridians, and flooded the major veins of her body.
Huang Yanchen had spent a day and a night to completely refine the Xuanwu Qi.
Blackie stared at her and asked, “How is it going?”
“Xuanwu Qi is amazing. I have only refined it a little, but I have already reached the Peak of the Medium State of the Heaven Realm. If I can continue practicing with Xuanwu Qi, I will be able to break through the Final State of the Heaven Realm in three days at most. I may even have a chance to break through the Completion of Heaven Realm in a month.”
Huang Yanchen was shocked. She felt incredible. She stared at the elixir bottle, and it was hard for her to calm down.
Blackie laughed loudly and said, “You practiced in the inner world of the scroll for a month, but only three days had passed in the outside world.”
Huang Yanchen nodded and said, “Yes, both Yin Yang Wooden Graph and Xuanwu Qi are great treasures. You must keep it a secret. Otherwise, it may bring death upon Zhang Ruochen. Blackie, you were too careless when you told Ao Xinyan and Orange Star Emissary about this. What would you do if something happens?”
Blackie smiled confidently.
When the Xuanwu Qi leaked from the elixir bottle, Huang Yanchen only absorbed 10% of it, but the rest 90% was inhaled by Zhang Ruochen.
When Huang Yanchen was refining her bit of Xuanwu Qi, Zhang Ruochen was also refining his portion of Xuanwu Qi. He completed refinement at nearly the same time as Huang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged beside Huang Yanchen and slowly opened his eyes. He said, “Even if there is no Yin Yang Wooden Graph, there are countless people who are waiting to kill me. Any treasure, the Dragon Pearl, the Six Divine Swords, or the Instant Sword Technique, is enough to make the Monks of the Fish-dragon Realm desperate to kill me to take away the treasures from me. If I want to live, I must strive to become stronger.”
“Yes, the greater the pressure is, the faster the progress will be.”
Blackie asked, “What about you? How much did your cultivation improve?”
Zhang Ruochen said with a smile, “Beyond my expectation. That mass of Xuanwu Qi improved my cultivation significantly. It won’t take a long time until I reach the Intermediate Stage of the Completion of Heaven Realm. If I can get a lot of Xuanwu Qi, it should not be too difficult for me to break through the Half-Saint Realm, let alone the Fish-dragon Realm.”
Blackie said with a smile, “Of course. Legend states that in ancient times, Xuanwu was capable of slaughtering Gods. Xuanwu Qi has unlimited benefits. It goes without saying that it has great benefits for the warriors of the Heaven Realm. If the news gets out, even those Half-Saints and Saints will rush to fight for Xuanwu Qi because it will also provide countless benefits for them.”
“Originally, the Qi of the Sacred Prime Tree can be compared with the Xuanwu Qi. Unfortunately, it has already been used up for nourishing the new seedlings.”
There was not a lot of Xuanwu Qi in Huang Shenyi’s elixir bottle. The mass that dissipated almost accounted for 1/30 of the total.
If Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen absorbed and refined at the same time, it would soon be gone.
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “There must be more Xuanwu Qi. Huang Shenyi could only take so much because he has no Space Treasure. If we can find the place where he received the Xuanwu heritage, we can find more Xuanwu Qi.”
Huang Yanchen said, “Do you mean that you want to go to the Primitive World of Xuanwu?”
Zhang Ruochen nodded.
Huang Shenyi received Xuanwu heritage in the Primitive World of Xuanwu.
If he wanted to find more Xuanwu Qi, Zhang Ruochen must go to the Primitive World of Xuanwu.
The Xuanwu Qi was valuable. Not only did it help Zhang Ruochen improve cultivation quickly, but it also helped the people around him to develop rapidly and become stronger.
Zhang Ruochen’s enemy was Empress Chi Yao. The first-rank of the Kunlun’s Field.
He could not compete with Empress Chi Yao alone, so he needed more power and strong helpers.
The news that Zhang Ruochen became number one on the Heaven Board spread. Even if he wanted to keep a low profile, Empress Chi Yao would undoubtedly notice his name soon.
Would Empress Chi Yao still remember the name “Zhang Ruochen” after eight hundred years?
Throughout the Kunlun’s Field, many people had the same name and surname as Zhang Ruochen. However, only a few people with the same name and surname could rank first on the Heaven Board.
Even only with a little bit of doubt, Empress Chi Yao would still send masters to investigate Zhang Ruochen.
As a result, there was not much time left for Zhang Ruochen. He must go to the Primitive World of Xuanwu to collect more Xuanwu Qi so that he could improve his cultivation rapidly and deal with the coming changes.
Huang Yanchen frowned and said, “The Primitive World of Xuanwu is a medium-level Primitive World. It is more dangerous than the Inferior Primitive World by nearly ten times or a hundred times. Even worse, the medium-level Primitive World is also vast. Finding the land of inheritance of Xuanwu will be like finding a needle in a haystack. I don’t think you should take this risk.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “Since Huang Shenyin once got Xuanwu heritage in the Primitive World of Xuan Wu. Why can’t I? I must go there, not only to look for Xuanwu Qi but also to accumulate military merits so that I can break through the Ultimate Realm of the Heaven Realm.”
Afterward, Zhang Ruochen stared at Huang Shenyi’s remains, and said: “Maybe we can find some clues from his body.”
Zhang Ruochen continued to search for clues from Huang Shenyi’s remains. His palms pressed on Huang Shenyi’s chest. Suddenly, he felt something strange.
There was something hard under Huang Shenyi’s chest.
“What on earth is it?”
“Wham!”
Zhang Ruochen snapped his fingers, peeled off the piece of skin, and pulled it down. He found a very thin piece of bone that was stuck to the top of that layer of skin.
“He hid it so well. What is it?”
Zhang Ruochen was curious. He took the piece of bone and put it on the ground.
After studying it carefully, he discovered that it was a bone book.
The so-called “bone book” was made of the bones of powerful beasts.
It might look like a mere piece of bone, but it was actually a nine-page bone book. The pages were connected by inscriptions without any breaches, so it seemed like a piece of bone.
On the surface, this bone book looked simple and plain, which made it look identical to an ordinary bone.
Zhang Ruochen injected Genuine Qi into the bone book to open it. He became delighted when he saw the records.
“It’s the legendary Xuanwu Sutra. Huang Shenyi may have perceived the movement from it.” Zhang Ruochen said with a laugh.
For example, Huang Shuanyi got “Xuanwu Sword Technique of God Slaying” and “Xuanwu Power, God Eater of Black Cave” from this bone book. Both movements were amazingly powerful.
Although he practiced the Scripture of Emperor Ming’s Empyrean, a high-class exercise book, he still had to perceive hundreds of martial arts, learn their advantages, and understand them thoroughly to reach the Half-Saint Realm.
Transcending into a saint was all warriors’ dream.
Like the Peacock Canon, the Xuanwu Sutra was also a remarkable exercise, and worth learning. If a man perceived it attentively, he would be able to recognize and fix deficiencies in his martial arts. At the same time, he could perceive new powerful martial techniques from it.
Blackie heard the words Xuanwu Sutra . It immediately pushed through and stretched its neck to read the bone book.
After watching for a moment, it grabbed the book and leafed through it.
An hour later, Blackie sighed and closed the book, becoming apathetic. It shook its head and said, “It’s not the original Xuanwu Sutra but a copy. On top of that, it’s incomplete. This book only contains a fifth of the full content, at most.”
