Zhang Ruochen brought the "Submerged Ancient Sword" and the "Soul-Flash Sword", came to the front yard of Qingxuan Pavilion, paid 31,000 silver coins, and then took the two war swords back to the palace.
Zi Yis humble abode, in a courtyard filled with accumulated snow.
Zhang Ruochen held a four-foot-long broken sword in his hands, with an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
Eight hundred years have passed, the sea has changed into mulberry fields, mountains and rivers have transformed, things are no longer what they were, and unexpectedly even the once razor-sharp ancient sword of the abyss has broken.
Even a broken ancient sword of the Abyss is extremely heavy. If Zhang Ruo Chen hadnt reached the late stage of the Yellow Extreme Realm, he might not have been able to lift it.
"The engravings on the ancient sword have all been severed, now its just sharper than other war swords. To reconnect the patterns on the sword body and restore the power of the ancient sword, at least a fifth-grade refiner is needed. Does Yunwu County have a fifth-grade refiner?"
Zhang Ruochen put away the ancient sword of the Abyss.
This sword, even if it becomes a piece of scrap iron, he must bring it with him. Because it can remind himself to work hard and cultivate at all times, only by cultivating enough strength can he go find Chi Yao Empress to take revenge.
Zhang Ruochen took out the fourth-order True Martial Treasure, "Soul Flashing Sword", grasped the hilt, pulled it out of its scabbard, and revealed a bright blue crystal sword body.
Zhang Ruochen mobilized the true energy inside his body and channeled it through his palm into the blade of the Shanhun Sword.
In the Shanhun Sword, the first inscription was driven by the true energy and revived.
That was a powerful inscription, once activated by true energy, it could increase the weight of the Flash Soul Sword by one hundred catties.
The Shanhun Sword originally weighed only 53 catties, but after the first stage of the Force Array was activated, the weight of the sword body directly reached 153 catties.
Weight soared.
Zhang Ruochens arm trembled slightly and he had to re-stabilize his gesture.
Clang
A sword thrust out.
However, the trajectory of the sword is not very accurate and is quite difficult to control.
With Zhang Ruochens current cultivation, he can unleash a dragon-like palm that can explode with the strength of a fierce bull. He can even lift up a 300-jin heavy stone plate and throw it out for ten meters.
But all of those were bursts of power in an instant
If it were a three-hundred-jin heavy war sword, with Zhang Ruochens current cultivation, it would not be easy to hold the war sword flat, let alone perform exquisite sword moves.
With Zhang Ruochens current cultivation, wielding a 153-jin heavy sword was already the limit of what he could endure.
"Thorn"
"behead"
After a whole afternoon of practice, Zhang Ruochen had only just begun to get used to the weight of the Soul Sword.
Of course, its just preliminary adaptation
Those skilled swordsmen can easily stab mosquitoes within three feet with their swords, controlling them with unparalleled precision, reaching the realm of "the sword follows the heart".
Zhang Ruochen is still far from reaching that level, compared to those swordsmen masters, he now seems too clumsy. The sword is too heavy.
"There are four power patterns engraved on the Shanhun Sword. Just by activating the first power pattern, the weight of the Shanhun Sword reaches 153 catties. If the second pattern is activated, the sword will become even heavier."
Zhang Ruochen mobilized the true energy within his body and continued to infuse it into the second tier of the Force Pattern.
However, the true energy inside the body was becoming increasingly thin, and the second layer of force inscription had not changed in the slightest, without any signs of revival.
Zhang Ruochen had no choice but to give up.
"With the amount of true energy in my body now, I am completely unable to activate the second seal, my cultivation is still not strong enough"
Zhang Ruochen withdrew the true energy he had infused into the sword body, and the Flashing Soul Sword immediately returned to its original weight of fifty-three catties. Having adapted to a weight of one hundred and fifty-three catties, the fifty-three catty Flashing Soul Sword gave Zhang Ruochen a light and airy feeling.
Then, Zhang Ruochen infused his true energy into Flash Soul Sword and activated a Frost-type inscription.
Shan Hunsuos sword immediately emitted a chilling aura that froze Zhang Ruochens fingers numb.
"Whoosh"
Zhang Ruochen swung his sword, and the blade of the Huanhun Sword immediately produced a few crystal snowflakes. They were tiny water droplets in the air that had been frozen into frost particles by the sword energy.
"Electric Circuit Diagram"
"Light System Inscription"
Zhang Ruochen once again attempted to activate a Thunder-type Seal and a Light-type Seal.
After the electric circuit pattern is activated, a thread of fine electricity appears on the surface of the sword. The war sword shoots out, like a flash of lightning breaking through the air, making a series of "popping" sounds.
After the light system inscription was activated, the Flash Soul Sword was immediately enveloped in a layer of white misty light, becoming extremely sharp. The white light flashed by, and the stone split open instantly.
With the amount of true energy in Zhang Ruochens body, he can only support one totem tattoo. Using the power of a force-based totem tattoo means that he cannot use the powers of the other three systems totem tattoos.
To simultaneously activate two seals, one must work hard to cultivate and improve their cultivation.
"These 30,000 silver coins were well spent"
Zhang Ruochen sheathed his Soul Flash Sword back into its scabbard.
"There are fourteen patterns in the Shanhun Sword, and only when all fourteen patterns are activated will the power of the fourth-order Zhenwu treasure be fully revealed. I must intensify my cultivation."
As soon as Zhang Ruochen entered the inner space of the Time and Space Crystal, he immediately took an Air-gathering Pill and started cultivating.
Boom
The Jiqi Dan exploded inside his body, transforming into a massive ball of dan energy.
The six channels immediately began transporting dan qi, transforming it into true qi and storing it in the qihai.
It took Zhang Ruochen more than half a day to absorb and refine all the elixir energy in his body.
Among them, only five layers of Dan Qi were absorbed and transformed into True Qi.
Another five layers of dan qi are dissipated through the pores and wasted away.
If it were another warrior, they would definitely be heartbroken. After all, wasting five hundred dan qi is equivalent to wasting five hundred silver coins.
Zhang Ruochen, however, did not think it was a waste. He only felt that the true energy within his body had increased significantly. If he were to cultivate in a gradual and progressive manner, it would take more than ten days to achieve the current effect.
Took Qiu Qi Dan for just half a day.
Whats the big deal about just one thousand silver coins?
The silver coins are gone, but you can still earn more.
Time is wasted and can never be earned back.
In the following days, Zhang Ruochen spent most of his time cultivating in the Time and Space Crystal.
Use "Ji Qi Dan" to increase the amount of true energy in the body. Use "Lian Ti San" to refine the body.
Apart from this, he also spent a lot of time practicing Long Xiangs Ban Ru Zhang and Tian Xin Jian Fa.
In the first month of cultivation in the Time-Space Crystal, Zhang Ruochens true energy in his dantian increased by fivefold.
In the second month of practicing in the Time-Space Crystal, Zhang Ruochen was able to burst out with "the strength of two oxen".
In the third month of cultivation in the Time-Space Crystal, Zhang Ruochens Qi Pool had a true energy amount that was ten times that of when he had just broken through to the late stage of the Yellow Extreme Boundary. The true energy in his Qi Pool was fully cultivated and reached the limit of the late stage of the Yellow Extreme Boundary.
At this time, Zhang Ruochen can start opening up new meridians and impact the small extreme position of the Yellow Extreme Boundary.
However, Zhang Ruochen did not do so, but instead suppressed his cultivation and continued to use the "Refining Body Powder" to temper his body.
"With my current physique, in order to break through to the Small Extreme Realm, I must open up four more meridians. In other words, when I reach the Small Extreme Realm, there will be a total of ten meridians within my body."
To know, the martial artist who cultivates the lower-grade technique of human-level, can only open up seven meridians in the body, even if they cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Yellow Extreme Realm, the number of meridians in the body is still seven.
Being able to open up ten meridians at a young age is absolutely considered top-notch talent.
However, Zhang Ruochen felt it was still far from enough.
He knew that in his previous life, when he was at the extreme boundary of Huangji, he had opened up a total of thirteen meridians.
"My current physique may not be comparable to my previous life, but I firmly believe that with hard work and tempering of the flesh, opening up eleven meridians in the Huangji boundarys small extreme position is not a difficult task."
Zhang Ruochens greatest advantage in this life is that he possesses the Time and Space Crystal, allowing him to cultivate at a rate three times faster than others. With twice as much time on his hands, he naturally wants to make good use of it, striving to improve himself and even surpass his previous life.
In the fourth month of cultivation in the Time-Space Crystal, Zhang Ruochens physique underwent a heaven-shaking transformation, and he could unleash the Dragon Elephant Fist, capable of exploding with "Three Oxen Power".
In the sixth month of cultivation in the Time-Space Crystal, Zhang Ruochens power rose again and he could burst out with "Four Oxen Strength".
At this point, Zhang Ruochen finally felt that his physique had reached a bottleneck and had reached the limit of his physical body. It was extremely difficult to improve even a bit of strength.
Even if you practice for another year, its impossible to reach the level of "the strength of five cows".
Half a year of cultivation in the Time-Space Crystal, and two months had passed outside.
"Being able to cultivate the power of a fierce bull is considered mid-to-high level strength in the late stages of the Yellow Extreme Boundary. Only martial artists who have reached the Small Extreme Position of the Yellow Extreme Boundary can cultivate the power of four bulls."
"I am still at the late stage of Huang Jis cultivation, but I have already cultivated the power of four cows, which is enough to contend with ordinary Huang Jis small extreme martial artists. If I break through to Huang Jis small extreme position, what kind of powerful force can I burst out?"
"Now, my physical strength has reached its current limit, I can start attacking the Yellow Extreme Small Pole and dont know how many meridians I can open up"
To be on the safe side, Zhang Ruochen took out six small jade bottles filled with washing liquid and placed them neatly in front of him.
"Strive in the same boundary, the more meridians opened up, the stronger the physique and combat power will be. Fight!"
Zhang Ruochen picked up the first small jade bottle and swallowed the marrow washing liquid into his abdomen, immediately starting to open up the seventh meridian.
