Zhang Ruochen could not help but feel a little suspicious. Was she really injured?
!!
Zhang Ruochen sat in front of the Imperial Palace, next to Huang Tian. He held a pot of holy spring and looked at the brilliant sea of stars in the distance. He used his spiritual power to communicate with Intergold Tiger.
“Why did you teach me Eight Techniques of Genesis when you asked me to create my own higher knowledge of Saint Technique? What are the Eight Techniques of Genesis? They seem to be very profound and powerful. Could you demonstrate them a few more times?”
Intergold Tiger’s voice rang out. “I thought about it carefully. After all, Intergold Precept Marks come from prehistoric times. They are completely different from the path you once practiced. They have essences that you can not understand. Therefore, the Eight Techniques of Genesis is to let you have a certain understanding of the prehistoric era’s higher knowledge. It will also allow you to understand how to use Intergold Precept Marks well.”
“It is said that the Eight Techniques of Genesis were highly famous in the prehistoric era. They are known as the origins of all higher knowledge. They are both profound and unfathomable, but they are also simple and easy to understand. Ordinary people can cultivate them and quickly enter the rudiments. After that, they will undergo various changes.
“Every cultivator who practiced the Eight Techniques of Genesis would eventually cultivate them differently.”
“Of course, the Eight Techniques of Genesis were easy to learn but difficult to master. Most cultivators could only learn the basics and couldn’t really display the power of the Saint Techniques and higher knowledge. So practicing the Eight Techniques of Genesis wouldn’t disturb your thoughts. Instead, it might give you some inspiration for creations.”
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and recalled for a moment. He suddenly stood up and practiced the first technique of the Eight Techniques of Genesis on the stairs.
The Taiqing Cloud-pushing Palm!
Zhang Ruochen did not feel anything after practicing it ten times. He did not feel the same mysterious feeling when Intergold Tiger used his body to practice. The feeling as if the entire universe was under control.
He could only cultivate the vague form of Taiqing Cloud-pushing Palm. He could not even activate Intergold Precept Marks in his Sea of Qi.
“It’s indeed easy to learn but difficult to master.”
Zhang Ruochen asked Intergold Tiger for advice again, hoping that it could demonstrate it again.
Unfortunately, Intergold Tiger only responded, “Practice makes perfect. Slowly, you learn by yourself.
“You’ve only practiced it ten times, and already said that it’s easy to learn but difficult to master.”
Intergold Tiger muttered in its heart, thinking that Zhang Ruochen was too impatient.
It must be known that even Intergold Tiger had repeatedly practiced Eight Techniques of Genesis before it had a preliminary understanding of its mysteries. After Intergold Tiger practiced over a hundred million times, could it master and burst out the power of higher knowledge.
Even now, it continues to practice and understand more profound mysteries of it.
Intergold Tiger didn’t know that Zhang Ruochen practiced all kinds of Saint techniques and could master them instantly each time.
Now that he had reached the Supreme Saint realm, his experience had significantly increased, and his spiritual power had reached the 66th level. He thought he could learn any technique after meditating and practicing it a few times.
Now, there was a psychological difference.
…
Bai Qing’er, who was in Sevenstar Imperial Palace, had the same thoughts as Zhang Ruochen.
Her spiritual power far surpassed Zhang Ruochen’s, and she had once practiced the higher knowledge successfully. Therefore, she was more confident that she could learn any spell in the world at a glance and could comprehend 20-30% after practicing it once.
However, after practicing ten times, she still failed to cultivate Taiqing Cloud-pushing Palm in Sevenstar Imperial Palace. She could not help but fall into deep self-doubt.
She had personally witnessed the power of Taiqing Cloud-pushing Palm.
Intergold Tiger used Zhang Ruochen’s body to perform this move. It broke her ‘Ten days of Heaven Seal’ and forced her to retreat.
Such higher knowledge naturally needed to be studied carefully.
..
Zhang Ruochen practice Taiqing Cloud-pushing Palm hundreds of times in a row. Sometimes, he stopped to meditate.
Sometimes, he would split his body and practice in another way. Or, he would use the Saint Qi in his body to explore a different way of luck.
In Sevenstar Imperial Palace, Bai Qing’er also seemed to practice Taiqing Cloud-pushing Palm.
Gong Nanfeng walked out of Sevenstar Imperial Palace and stopped beside Huang Tian. He did not disturb Zhang Ruochen, who was practicing Taiqing Cloud-pushing Palm. When Zhang Ruochen stopped again, he walked over with a smile.
“Brother Ruochen, I misunderstood you. After thinking about it, I must apologize to you.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t have a good impression of Gong Nanfeng. He didn’t know if he was playing dumb or if he really lacked a string. He said coldly, “There’s no misunderstanding between us.”
“No, there’s a misunderstanding.”
Gong Nanfeng’s expression was serious. He bowed deeply to Zhang Ruochen. He looked up and saw Zhang Ruochen’s back. He quickly chased after him, “Brother Ruochen is worthy of being valued by Saint Monk Xumi, Moon Goddess, Wargod Bloidximius, and Fukurokuju. Not only are you humble, but you’re also a noble person. It’s rare to see a cultivator like you in Infernal Court.”
“Why are you praising me like this?”
Zhang Ruochen walked through the palace door.
Sevenstar Imperial Palace was divided into seven separate palaces. There was a lot of space inside.
Gong Nanfeng said, “I’m not complimenting you. What I said is the truth. Initially, I thought you hated the Fane of Destiny because of what happened in Adjudication Division. That’s why you stood aside and didn’t want to attack Bai Qing’er. You just watched as Zionwraith and Lord Wu Yue die.
“But I was wrong! I’ve figured out why brother Ruochen didn’t attack in the beginning.”
Zhang Ruochen ignored him.
He continued, “Because you know very well that even if you make a move, you can’t do anything to Bai Qing’er, a Yuanhui-level genius who has reached Paramount Realm. She is invincible under divinity. Moreover, she is an Archsaint Array Master.
“You have been watching coldly and looking for a suitable opportunity to make a move, aren’t you?
“Thank God you’re wise and didn’t make a move at the beginning. Otherwise, you would have been trapped in Echoes of Heaven Formation. In that case, Xing Luo and the others would surely have been dead.
“It’s a great strategy for you to stay by Bai Qing’er’s side. Not only can you secretly spy on her trump cards and find her flaws and weaknesses, but you can subtly restrain her and make her unable to do whatever she wants. That was indeed a smart move!”
Zhang Ruochen stopped and said, “She can hear you. Can you not expose my purpose just like that?”
Gong Nanfeng’s expression changed. He looked around, calmed down, and said in a low voice, “It’s my fault, but it doesn’t matter. She’s so smart. She probably already guess your intentions. You don’t really want to marry her, do you?”
“Have you been subdued by her?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Gong Nanfeng quickly shook his head, “No, absolutely not. In the name of the venerable, you must believe me. However, she is refining the vessel spirit inside Tensho Compass. If she succeeds, even I can’t stop her from using the divine weapon. She will be even more powerful with the divine weapon in hand.”
Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed slightly, and he sighed in his heart. This was not good news!
Gong Nanfeng was the vessel spirit of Tensho Compass, which had divided more than 90% of its spirit. He had cultivated his physical body. Logically speaking, any cultivator who wanted to control Tensho Compass would be influenced by his will.
As long as Gong Nanfeng rejects, Bai Qing’er couldn’t control Tensho Compass.
However, once Bai Qing’er refined Tensho Compass, Gong Nanfeng’s control over Tensho Compass’s vessel spirit would be significantly reduced.
“It’s not easy for a cultivator below divinity to refine a divine weapon,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Gong Nanfeng said, “If she has grasped Canon of Origin, she might succeed. Of course, refining a divine weapon is not a matter of a day or two. I actually have another matter to discuss with brother Ruochen.”
Zhang Ruochen was not interested in Gong Nanfeng’s matter. He walked toward the Star Palace and reached the bottom of a row of bookshelves.
The books on the entire row of bookshelves were all related to Origin.
Most of them were the legends and wild histories of the Masters of Origin, the basics of Origin, the Path of Origin observation diagram… There were not many genuinely profound things.
Gong Nanfeng said, “These days, I will carefully observe every battle of Bai Qing’er. I will try my best to calculate and discover her secrets. After all, she can’t hide them during a battle.”
“Oh!”
Zhang Ruochen pulled out a book and read it. When he heard this, he showed interest.
Gong Nanfeng said, “Her physical quality is the same as yours. You both have a Five-element Chaotic Body. The difference is that you have cultivated it after birth while she was born with it.”
“I see.”
Zhang Ruochen asked, “What else have you observed? Can you calculate how many Canon of Origin she has mastered? Or how many Precepts she has practiced?”
Gong Nanfeng scratched his head, slightly embarrassed, “She must have mastered some Canon of Origin. As for how much, it’s hard to infer. I have seen some clues about the Precept she has practiced. There must be more than 30 trillion Precepts.”
Zhang Ruochen thought Gong Nanfeng was talking nonsense. When Lord Wu Yue had self-detonated his Sainthood Source, the Precepts released from his body had reached 20 trillion.
Bai Qing’er was naturally much better than Lord Wu Yue.
She could kill ordinary Supreme Saints quickly because the number of Precepts she had was more than ten times that of ordinary Supreme Saints. Cultivators with Precepts lesser than 10 trillion weren’t qualified to fight with her.
Among Paramount Realm Supreme Saints, if the number of Precepts was 10 trillion, one could be called a “Demigod.”
If there were more than twenty trillion Precepts, one could be called a Demigod at peak state.
The peak of Demigod and Demigod were just synonyms for strength. In fact, they’re both Supreme Saints in Paramount Realm. If one could defeat a demigod without cultivating a hundred thousand Precepts, this cultivator could also be called a Demigod.
In fact, Bai Qing’er, Wuma Jiuxing, Xue Lingxian, and others were also at the peak of Demigod state. However, they were stronger than Lord Wu Yue.
It was worth mentioning that Lord Wu Yue had cultivated 12 trillion Precepts when he condensed Paramount physique in Banshi Isshou Realm. Therefore, he could be called a demigod as soon as he broke through to Paramount Realm.
After reaching Paramount Realm, he naturally improved considerably, which was why he had his current achievements.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Bai Qing’er should be ranked very high on Tome of the Divines. Did Fane of Destiny not notice her before?”
Gong Nanfeng shook his head and said, “No. She is ranked outside the top 100 of the second class on Tome of the Divines. She is not outstanding.”
“How can this be? I think, with her cultivation realm, she can break through and become a god with just a thought,” Zhang Ruochen said.
“I have thought and calculated this question repeatedly. There are only two reasons.”
As the vessel spirit of Tensho Compass, Gong Nanfeng knew everything in the world like the back of his hand. He said, “The first reason should be that she has a knot in her heart. The knot has troubled her. It may even have become a demon, making her afraid of the Divine Tribulation.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes lit up. “What knot does she have in her heart?”
Could this be Bai Qing’er’s weakness?
“Let’s sit down and talk.”
Gong Nanfeng took out an ancient divine wood paper book, Light of origin. He placed it on his butt and sat on the ground. Leaning against the bookshelf, he said, “This has to start with Bai Qing’er’s background. This woman is quite pitiful.”
“Wait a minute.”
Zhang Ruochen took out Zangshan Demonic Mirror and activated the Supreme Inscription. It formed a sphere of light and covered the two of them.
“Go on! Is Bai Qing’er’s father really Magnogod Huang Tian?”
Gong Nanfeng said, “Most likely. But Magnogod Huang Tian has never admitted it. He hasn’t even been to the Enchanteur Chamber for many years.”
“How do you know he hasn’t been there?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Gong Nanfeng looked serious. He was sure that no one would eavesdrop since this place was covered by Supreme Artifact, “To be honest, the Reverend of Divination Division has never trusted Magnogod Huang Tian. Once Magnogod Huang Tian leaves Infernal Court, he’ll activate Tensho Compass and predict his whereabouts. Brother Ruochen, you’re one of us. That’s why I can tell you this secret.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were strange. He smiled. “You know the secrets of Infernal Court in the back of your hand.”
Gong Nanfeng was overjoyed. He smiled proudly and continued, “Think about it. It’s cruel for a little girl to be abandoned by her father. Moreover, she has a mother with a bad reputation. It’s easy to imagine that she’s been mocked since she was a child.”
“The ruler of the Enchanteur Chamber, Empress Bai? What do you mean by bad reputation?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Gong Nanfeng said, “It’s said that this Empress Bai is as beautiful as a fairy, comparable to Moon Goddess. However, Moon Goddess is pure and clear. She has many admirers among the gods in Infernal Court. However, Empress Bai is very depraved and has been involved with many gods.”
Zhang Ruochen could not help but laugh when he heard such big gossip. He shook his head and said, “No wonder Magnogod Huang Tian has never been to the Enchanteur Chamber again. I’m afraid it’s unknown whether Bai Qing’er is his daughter or not. But does Empress Bai really have such great charm?”
“Legend has it that no man can refuse Empress Bai, including male gods,” said Gong Nanfeng.
Zhang Ruochen thought about his resentment toward Blood Empress.
If what Gong Nanfeng said was true, he could understand why Bai Qing’er was so determined to defeat Magnogod Huang Tian and even looked down on him.
Compared with Magnogod Huang Tian and Queen Bai, Blood Empress was a thousand or ten thousand times better.
One wasn’t there to raise the kid, and the other didn’t deserve to be a mother.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “What’s the second reason you mentioned?”
Gong Nanfeng said, “Bai Qing’er was able to cross Thousand-Koan Realm and breakthrough Banshi Isshou Realm. This means that she has a strong will, and the knot in her heart may not be able to do anything to her. There is only one other possibility. Someone with strong spiritual power completely covered up the secrets of heaven on her body. Even Tome of the Divines couldn’t sense the real her.”
“Tome of the Divines is one of the six volumes of Heavenly Tome of Destiny. It represents the supreme law of the entire Fane of Destiny. Who can compete with destiny?” Zhang Ruochen asked curiously.
Gong Nanfeng said meaningfully, “An existence with spiritual power over level 90.”
Zhang Ruochen was stunned for a moment. He couldn’t help but gasp and shake his head. “That’s impossible!”
Once one’s spiritual power reaches the 70th level, one could become a god.
Those who reached the 80th level were already giants among gods.
The 90th level?
Was there really such a powerful spiritual power elite in the universe?
Gong Nanfeng said, “I didn’t say it for no reason. Bai Qing’er’s current achievements without the help of Magnogod Huang Tian and Empress Bai are impossible without the guidance of a big figure.
“Just like you, Brother Ruochen, you also inherited the mantle of Saint Monk Xumi, Divine Sky-connecting Tree, and the Immovable Wisdom King. You also received the inheritance of many important figures in Kunlun’s field. You also received the support and guidance of Fane of Truth, Moon Goddess, Wargod Bloodximius, Intergold Tiger, and other important figures. That’s how you achieved your current achievements.
“Yan Wusheng, who passed away, was also at the top level in terms of opportunities and inheritance. Que was even nurtured by Fane of Destiny.
“I don’t believe she can reach her current level with her own efforts.”
“What you said makes sense.” Zhang Ruochen looked at Gong Nanfeng with a strange look. “Didn’t you say that it was difficult to predict me? How come you know me so well?”
Gong Nanfeng was afraid that Zhang Ruochen would misunderstand him again. He hurriedly said, “The information about you has already been investigated by Fane of Origin.”
“Get out,” Zhang Ruochen said.
“Brother Ruochen, how can you change your mood just like that?”
“No matter how much you know about me, you must never reveal it to anyone.”
“I understand. I treat you as my own brother. I won’t do anything to let you down. In the future, if you want to take revenge on Empress Chi Yao, ask the Moon goddess for her debt, or steal the fairies from Thousand-Star Civilization or Tianchu Civilization to be your wife, Count me in. I still have some connections in the Fane of Destiny. It won’t be a problem for me to mobilize a holy army to help you.”
“You know too much!”
“There’s nothing I can do. It’s my fault that I’m the vessel spirit of Tensho Compass.”
“Get out.”
