"Wow"

  Zhang Ruochen leaped out of the water, did a flip in mid-air, and landed on the shore.

  A white aura burst forth from his pores and in an instant, his clothes were steaming dry.

  Reach the extreme realm, the true energy inside the body is thick and can be completely externalized, even condensing into an energy sword to kill people in mid-air.

  Zhang Ruochen mobilized the true energy within his body, channeling it to his right hand meridian. A cluster of white energy condensed at the tip of his index finger and shot towards a 10-meter-tall ironwood pine tree.

  "Boom"

  A white air sword struck through the trunk of the Ironwood Pine, revealing a hole the size of a fist.

  "Its just an ordinary sword aura, yet its power is so remarkable. A Xuanji Realm martial artist is indeed not comparable to a Huangji Realm martial artist. If I can cultivate the top-grade spiritual-level martial skill Ten Pulse Sword Wave, once I unleash the Qi Sword, I wonder how powerful it will be."

  In his previous life, Zhang Ruochen had cultivated the Ten Meridian Sword Wave, turning his ten fingers into sword fingers. With a single point of his hand, he could unleash a sharp energy sword that could kill people from hundreds of feet away.

  However, the Ten Pulse Sword Wave is extremely difficult to cultivate. Even if Zhang Ruochen had successfully cultivated it before, recultivating it would still be no easy task.

  Just then, Zhang Ruochen felt someone approaching and immediately withdrew the true energy from his body.

  Yunwu County King walked towards Zhang Ruochen, looked him up and down, nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Breakthrough to the Xuanji boundary"

  Zhang Ruochen didnt say much, he just nodded lightly.

  Zhang Ruochen didnt have too much feeling for Yunwu County King, but he could also feel the concern of Yunwu County King for him, so he still respected Yunwu County King very much.

  Yunwu County King said: "You use your strongest power to attack me."

  Zhang Ruochen glanced at Yun Wugong Wang and said, "Good"

  Having reached the initial stage of Xuanji, Zhang Ruochen also wanted to test his own strength and see what level he had reached.

  In front of the King of Yunwu, he can play his trump card without any reservation. Because the King of Yunwu will absolutely not harm him and will only use all his power to protect him.

  "Whoosh"

  Zhang Ruochen burst into top speed, instantly covering a distance of over ten meters, and struck a palm at the chest of Yun Wugong Wang, "Dragon Elephant Returns to the Field"

  He unleashed his strongest palm, possessing the power of toppling mountains and overturning seas, with his internal bones and muscles seemingly emitting a dragon-and-elephant-like roar.

  A strong gust of wind blows, causing sand and rocks to fly across the ground.

  Even when Zhang Ruochens palm struck the body of Yunwu County King, Yunwu County King remained unmoving, without any intention of retaliating.

  Boom

  Just as Zhang Ruochens palm struck the body of Yunwu County King, a powerful force burst out from Yunwu County Kings body.

  Zhang Ruochen flew out, his whole body surging with blood and energy, somewhat awkwardly falling to the ground, retreating over a dozen steps before shaking off that powerful impact.

  Yunwu County King nodded and said, "Not bad, the power of this palm is stronger than many late-stage Xuanji Realm warriors, and even comparable to some weaker Xuanji Realm Xiaoji position warriors."

  "And besides, your greatest advantage is not your strength, but rather your control over it and the realm of swordsmanship that rivals even the most extreme warriors. To put it simply, even some of the top-ranked warriors in the Mystic Extreme Realm might not be a match for you. It seems that you have truly reached the pinnacle of the Yellow Extreme Realms highest level, otherwise, you wouldnt be so incredibly powerful."

  Zhang Ruochens heart secretly said, summoning the gods to resonate together, and indeed, he still startled Yun Wugong Wang.

  Yunwu County King gazed at Zhang Ruochen, with a hint of softness in his eyes, saying: "With your talent, your future achievements will surely surpass mine. Staying in the palace will only bury your talents. Now, there are two paths before you."

  "The first road, you should have heard of Yun Tai Zong Fu"

  Yun Tai Sects manor is one of the four major sects, with a history of 720 years and immense power. In the nine counties of Ling Xi, it has an extraordinary status. The princes, princesses, and young nobles from various countries all consider it an honor to join Yun Tai Sect. Yun Tai Sect can be called the cradle of strong practitioners. Nearly half of the Tian Ji boundarys powerful practitioners in Ling Xis nine counties were once disciples of Yun Tai Sect.

  Lingxi nine counties, refers to the nine countries on the west side of Tianmo Ridge, Yunwu County is one of them.

  Yunwu County King nodded and said, "This king was also a disciple of the Cloud Platform Sect in the past. The current vice sect master of the outer court of the Cloud Platform Sect is an elder of the Yunwu County Kings clan. This king will call him Uncle. If you want to join the Cloud Platform Sect, I can write a letter to my uncle right now. With your talent, as long as you show one-tenth of it, you can join the Cloud Platform Sect and become an outer court disciple."

  Zhang Ruochen sank into thought for a moment before saying, "What about the second path?"

  Yunwu County King said, "The second route will be slightly more difficult, but as long as your talent is high enough to stand out from the many geniuses, then future achievements will be even more astonishing. You should know about Wushi Academy, right?"

  "The Wudang Academy established by Wu Shi Qian Zhuang" Zhang Ruochen said.

  The Wu Shi Financial Empire spans the entire Kunlun Realm, with a branch in every province, city, and even small town.

  The martial cities of various counties and states were almost all controlled by the Wu City Money House. It can be said that the Wu City Money House controlled more than 30% of the economic arteries of the entire Kunlun Realm.

  The power of the Wu Shi Qian Zhuang is many times stronger than that of the Yun Tai Zong Fu, and has been passed down from ancient times to the present, it can be said to be a money empire. Not to mention the four inferior sects, even the first-class sects do not dare to confront the Wu Shi Qian Zhuang head-on.

  Of course, with Wus wealth, it would certainly require a strong military force to guard it.

  So, Wu Citys Qianzhuang set up Wu City Arena and Wu City Academy.

  The Wu City Academy is to cultivate talents for the Wu City Money House, making it flourish forever and become the eternal master of wealth in the Kunlun world.

  The better a student performs at the Wu City Academy, the higher their position will be in the Wu City Money House after graduation, and the more power they will hold.

  The greatest benefit of joining Wu City Academy is that you will never be short of money or cultivation resources, and the Wu City Bank is the strongest backing.

  Of course, joining Wu Shi Xue Gong is also very difficult, and the competition will be even more fierce. If you are not careful, you may even die in the academy.

  Zhang Ruochen naturally knew the strength of Wu Shi Chai Zhuang, and the Wu Shi Chai Zhuang in Yunwu County was just a very small branch. The headquarters of Wu Shi Chai Zhuang was comparable to the imperial court of the First Central Empire, both controlling the situation under heaven.

  Zhang Ruochen said: "Wu Shi Qian Zhuang has set up an academy in Yunwu County"

  Yunwu County King shook his head and said, "Not in Yunwu County State, but on Tianmo Ridge, a one-star academy is set up to recruit talents from the surrounding 36 counties of Tianmo Ridge. The nine counties west of the ridge, the nine counties east of the ridge, the nine counties south of the ridge, and the nine counties north of the ridge."

  Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, "Okay, I choose the Wushi Academy path."

  Joining Yun Tai Sect may allow Zhang Ruo Chen to encounter less competition and grow more easily. However, the potential of Yun Tai Sect is far inferior to that of Wu Shi Academy.

  Zhang Ruochen is not afraid of intense competition, but rather fears that there wont be enough competition.

  Yunwu County King was quite satisfied with Zhang Ruochens decision, saying: "If you become a high-ranking official in the Wumeng Chamber of Commerce in the future, Yunwu County will definitely gain endless benefits. In another month, it will be the day when the Wumeng Academy recruits students. During this period, you can focus on consolidating your realm, and at that time, I will send someone to take you to Tianmo Ridge."

  Then Yunwu County King and Zhang Ruochen left Wangshan.

  Zhang Ruochen returned to Yuwu Palace but did not find General Ge Qian.

  The imperial guard stationed at the Jade Washing Palace had also been replaced with a new batch, led by a general who was extremely tall and robust, with dark skin and a thick beard. Upon seeing Zhang Ruochen, he immediately bowed and greeted him in a rough voice: "General Gan Li pays his respects to the Ninth Prince."

  "What about General Ge Qian?"

  Gan Li said: "Lao Ge has been dispatched by the Grand King to Tianzi Mountain Ancestral Temple, from now on, I will be in charge of protecting the safety of the Ninth Prince. Dont worry, Ninth Prince, my martial arts skills are not inferior to Lao Ges at all. If we compare strength, I can knock down three Lao Ges."

  As he spoke, Gan Li showed off his sturdy arms, his muscles as hard as iron.

  Zhang Ruochen seemed to be deep in thought, his mind secretly thinking that it was likely that Ge Qian and the Forbidden Troops had found out about him summoning the gods to resonate together, which was why they were deployed to guard the ancestral temple.

  Zhang Ruochen glanced at Gan Li and said, "With General Gan Li protecting me, Im sure no assassin would dare to set foot in the Jade Washing Palace."

  When Zhang Ruochen praised him, Gan Li burst out laughing and swung the giant axe in his hand, saying: "This general has followed the great king into battle ten times to kill the enemy. Even if its a war beast of the enemy army, I can chop it off with one axe. A few assassins are nothing. As long as they dare to come to Yufang Palace, this general will definitely chop them all in half."

  Zhang Ruochen nodded and walked into the palace, planning to go to A Les residence first, wanting to see if A Le had successfully cultivated the Nine Turns of Life and Death.

  As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw Ah Le standing upright in the middle of the yard.

  The bamboo leaves in the nearby bamboo forest fell down like a rain of leaves, continuously drifting down.

  Alos sword came out as fast as lightning, and every time he drew his sword, he must have pierced a bamboo leaf. With Alo as the center, all around him were sword shadows, making a "whooshing" sound that broke through the wind.

  The bamboo leaves that have fallen to the ground are all broken.

  "Slap slap"

  Zhang Ruochen applauded as he walked over, saying: "Congratulations on breaking through to the next level. Youve already successfully cultivated the first turn of the Nine Turns of Life and Death, right?"

  Zhang Ruochen could see that Ah Yues cultivation had already reached the early stage of the Mysterious Extreme Realm.

  Alo immediately sheathed his sword, the blade accurately and unerringly returning to its scabbard.

  Ales gaze also waited for Zhang Ruochen, saying: "The cultivation of the benefactor has also reached the initial stage of the Xuanji boundary"

  "Indeed reached the extreme of mystery." Zhang Ruochen nodded and asked: "What are your plans next?"
