Zhang Ruochen retreated nine zhangs, his toes touched the ground, and he regained his balance.
Huang Yanzhen also retreated nine zhang, like a flower petal, gently falling to the ground.
Looking at Zhang Ruochen again, Huang Yanchen's absolutely beautiful and elegant face showed a surprised expression, saying: "How can your power be so strong? You have reached the Supreme Realm of Xuanji!"
She had cultivated the Wind Dragon Shadow and refined a drop of Holy Liquid, making her combat power comparable to that of the top ten strongmen on the Xuanhuang Ranking.
Now it has broken through to the Earth Boundary, and his martial arts cultivation is about to reach the middle stage of the Earth Boundary.
Among the warriors in the Extreme Realm, she is also considered a strong contender. However, with such an advantage, she could only manage to tie with Zhang Ruochen.
So she suspected that Zhang Ruochen had entered the Supreme Realm of the Profound Extreme Boundary, otherwise he wouldn't be so strong.
Reaching the highest state is equivalent to cultivating one more boundary than other warriors.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, "Not yet."
Impossible
Huang Yanchen's beautiful eyes narrowed, saying: "Unless you have reached the Supreme Realm in Huangji Boundary, it is impossible to be so powerful."
Zhang Ruochen neither admitted nor denied it, saying: "Huang Shijie, I have already received your move, so the dragon horn will be kept by me. You don't have any objections, do you?"
Huang Yanchen saw that Zhang Ruochen did not deny it, and became even more certain of the conjecture in his heart. Zhang Ruochen was very likely to have truly reached the Supreme Realm in Huang Ji's boundary.
This matter is no trivial thing, once it gets out, it will surely cause a sensation and bring fatal disaster to Zhang Ruochen.
Since there were outsiders present, Huang Yanchen stopped questioning Zhang Ruochen further.
In Huang Yanchen's view, Zi Qian was an outsider and there were some secrets that she couldn't know.
Huang Yanchen shifted the topic to Longjiao, staring at Zhang Ruochen, his body losing a few points of arrogance and gaining a few points of cold elegance, saying: "Longjiao can be handed over to you for safekeeping, but do you know the purpose of this dragon horn?"
"It should be the key to open a certain important place, it might be in the Red Sky Secret Mansion."
Huang Yanchen shook his head and said, "It's impossible in the Chi Kong Secret Mansion."
Why
Zhang Ruochen vaguely felt that Huang Yanchen seemed to know something.
Huang Yanchen gave Zi Qian a cold, icy glance and said: "Sister Zi, I have some important matters to discuss with Zhang Ruochen. Could you please step aside for a moment?"
Zi Yan glanced at Zhang Ruochen, didn't say a word, and immediately turned around, walking away into the distance, disappearing from Zhang Ruochen's and Huang Yanchen's line of sight.
Huang Yanchen saw Zi Qian walking away, feeling very pleased and nodded in satisfaction. He said to Zhang Ruochen: "Five hundred years ago, the Thousand Waters State also participated in the war against the Four-Winged Earth Dragon. In the royal family's secret scrolls, there are records of some unknown facts about that war. For example, the dragon horn."
According to the records of the Wang Zong Secret Volume, 500 years ago, after the human army killed the four-winged earth dragon, they found a dragon horn on its body. With that dragon horn as the key, the human army opened the gate of the Four-Pole Dragon Cave in the Chi Kong Secret Mansion and took away 90% of the treasures inside the dragon cave.
"That dragon horn is still preserved in the treasure vault of the royal family of Chikushino Kuni."
Zhang Ruochen's eyes narrowed and he said: "There is a pair of dragon horns, one of which can open the gate of the Four Extremes Dragon Cave. Then what does the other horn open?"
Four-winged earth dragon, using its own two dragon horns to refine into a key. From this, it can be seen that it attaches great importance to the two treasure lands.
Another treasure land, absolutely on the same level as the Four-Polar Dragon Lair.
"Dragon Palace Underwater."
In the Tianmo Ridge region, there are only two mid-level ruins "Chi Kong Secret Mansion" and "Water Bottom Dragon Palace", both of which were established by the Four-Winged Earth Dragon.
The Dragon Palace is located at the bottom of Tongming River, more dangerous than the Chi Kung Secret Mansion, and so far no one has been able to open the gate of the Dragon Palace.
Only warriors below the Tianji boundary can evade the formation's suppression and enter the outer periphery of the Dragon Palace to search for treasures.
In the eyes of the Four-Winged Earth Dragon, warriors below the Tianji Boundary are as weak and small as ants. Therefore, when it set up the formation to guard the Dragon Palace, it didn't consider warriors below the Tianji Boundary at all.
Even if a warrior below the Tianji boundary can avoid the formation and enter the outer periphery of the underwater Dragon Palace, they will still encounter various dangers. Out of ten warriors who go in, only two or three can come out alive.
The treasures of the Four-Polar Dragon Lair, more than 90% have been taken away, and the remaining treasures have also been searched countless times by the disciples who entered the Red Sky Secret Mansion for hundreds of years.
However, 99% of the treasures in the underwater Dragon Palace have not been taken away and are still locked inside the palace.
That is the Dragon Palace of the Four-Winged Earth Dragon, the lair of a Saint-level existence. It's hard to imagine how many precious things are inside.
No wonder Huang Yanchen wanted to get rid of Zi Qian, she had already guessed that this dragon horn was likely to be the key to opening the underwater Dragon Palace.
Huang Yanchen clasped his hands to his chest and said, "This matter cannot be known by anyone, including your father King Yunwu of the Cloud Martial Kingdom and my father King Qianshui of the Thousand Waters Kingdom. The royal family has too many descendants; if they were to open the underwater Dragon Palace, how much would we end up with?"
Zhang Ruochen nodded: "The fewer people who know, the better. If the news leaks out, the consequences will be unthinkable. But with just the two of us, we can swallow the treasure in the underwater Dragon Palace."
Zhang Ruochen glanced at Zi Cui, whose figure was faintly visible in the distance, and wanted to bring her along. After all, it was she who had found the dragon horn, so naturally she should get a share of the benefits.
Huang Yanzhen also revealed a solemn expression, saying: "Only warriors below the Tianji realm can avoid the formation of the underwater Dragon Palace. Of course, the stronger one's cultivation is, the higher their survival rate will be when entering the underwater Dragon Palace. There's no need to rush this matter; we can slowly discuss it after entering the inner palace of the Wujicheng Academy."
Suddenly, Huang Yanchen smiled brightly at Zhang Ruochen, revealing a very complex expression.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Huang Yanchen smiled and said: "You reached the Supreme Ultimate Realm in Huang Ji's boundary, didn't you?"
"That's right." Zhang Ruochen said calmly.
Zhang Ruochen is not a timid and shrinking man who dares not admit it. Moreover, he is also not good at deceiving people.
Well, in that case, let's just acknowledge it frankly.
Huang Yanchen took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and an inexplicable joy arose in his heart, as if he had picked up a treasure.
Being able to cultivate to the highest extreme realm is equivalent to having one more realm than other warriors.
How high of a talent is required to achieve this?
"What is your current fastest explosive speed?"
"Seventy-five meters per second." Zhang Ruochen said.
Huang Yanchen slightly choked, still coldly saying: "With your current strength, you are enough to become the first on the Xuan List of Tianmo Ridge's region, and even have a chance to impact the Supreme Extreme Boundary of the Xuanji Realm."
Huang Yanchen didn't dare imagine that if Zhang Ruochen reached the Supreme Realm of the Mystic Extreme again, it would be a terrifying thing.
Huang Yanchen was also a woman who would admire from the bottom of her heart those gifted with extraordinary talents.
In the past, she thought Zhang Tian Gui's talent was unparalleled and had always taken him as her goal to strive for. But now she has just discovered that this fiancé of hers seems even more exceptional than Zhang Tian Gui, with an even more astonishing natural ability.
Zhang Tianguai is far inferior compared to him.
"Three years later, it's still not worth regretting the marriage. If I were to regret it, wouldn't that be a gain for another woman?" Huang Yanchen's jade fingers gently stroked her chin, and a bright smile appeared in her eyes as she thought this way.
Since we've already gotten engaged, what's the point of calling off the wedding?
Of course, she can't tell Zhang Ruochen her thoughts now, and still has to maintain her noble and cold demeanor.
Huang Yanchen gazed at Zhang Ruochen with a light and airy expression, saying: "You want to break through the Supreme Extreme Realm's limit, I can lend you a helping hand. If you need cultivation resources, just tell me, even if it's Sacred Liquid, I can help you get some. Of course, it's not for free, we're only in a fake engagement, we're not that familiar yet. From now on, you have to pay me back."
Zhang Ruochen gazed at Huang Yanchen with a hint of a smile, for the first time thinking that this Huang Shijie, apart from having a big temper, was actually not a bad person. Could be friends.
Of course, they had to wait until three years later, after they broke off their engagement, before they could be friends again.
Suddenly, Huang Yanchen's expression turned serious again, and he said: "There's one more thing, I forgot to tell you. The Red Sky Secret Mansion has become quite dangerous, not only have the evil people from the black market escaped, but a bloodthirsty monster has also appeared. I've decided to end the intermediate relic exploration exam ahead of schedule, let's leave the Red Sky Secret Mansion now."
As soon as Huang Yanchen's voice fell, Zi Qian, who was standing far away, suddenly let out a mournful cry, as if she had been attacked.
Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen's reaction speeds were extremely fast, almost at the same time, they launched the Wind Dragon Shadow, transforming into two residual shadows, rushing towards Ziyan's direction.
