The light of the semi-saint is actually the saintly soul of the semi-saint.

  When a demigod is alive, they can control the divine soul through their physical body. After a demigod dies, it's also possible to use the demigod's blood to recall the light of the demigod.

  Of course, even if Zhang Ruochen obtained Jin Yun's half-saint blood, it wouldn't be easy to absorb the half-saint light in Lu Fang's body, and he would have to use some special secret methods.

  Generally speaking, only the strong in Tianji realm can forcibly recall the semiholy light with the help of the semiholy blood. Because the process of casting the secret method requires the use of martial soul's power.

  A martial artist who has reached the pinnacle of martial arts can cultivate a Martial Soul.

  Because Zhang Ruochen opened up the soul meridian, he could also communicate with the martial soul and exert its power, so he could also cast that secret method.

  Zhang Ruochen placed the fire-attribute spirit crystal on the surface of the icy cold ice.

  Infuse true energy into the spiritual crystal, and the spiritual crystal immediately ignites, transforming into a massive fireball. Under the scorching flames, the ice continues to melt.

  About an hour passed, and on the surface of the old man's corpse, only a thin layer of ice crystals remained.

  Zhang Ruochen put away the Ling crystal and struck down with his palm. The surface of the ice crystal cracked open, revealing a dense network of fine lines.

  Boom

  Ice crystal shattered.

  A very powerful holy power came out of the old man's corpse, blasting Zhang Ruochen flying backwards and landing more than ten zhang away.

  Thick blood gas, gushing out from the old man's corpse, formed a bloody cloud. Each strand of blood gas was like a python, surging in the air, making a low humming sound.

  The semi-sacred bloodline is powerful, and the blood contains sacred power. Even after five hundred years have passed, it still hasn't completely lost its vitality.

  "That must be the remains of Jin Yunbansheng, no doubt." Zhang Ruochen looked at the blood energy floating in the air and finally confirmed that the owner of the corpse was indeed the half-saint of the human tribe who died 500 years ago.

  Zhang Ruochen took out a jade bottle and placed it on the ground.

  At the same time, he released the spatial domain, covering an area of eighty meters around him, wrapping up all the blood gas and condensing it into a drop of blood.

  A wisp of blood energy condensed into a drop of semi-sacred blood.

  Spending three whole days, Zhang Ruochen condensed all his blood and energy, transforming them into sixty-four drops of semi-sacred blood, which he stored in a jade bottle.

  The value of a drop and a half of sacred blood is tens of times more expensive than that of a drop and a half of sacred true liquid.

  Sixty-four and a half holy blood, is absolutely a huge fortune.

  If outsiders were to know that Zhang Ruochen had so much semi-sacred blood, it would absolutely bring him fatal disaster. Even Tianji Realm experts would kill him without hesitation.

  "Five hundred years have passed, and the vast majority of the blood in Jinyun's half-saint body has already rotted away, leaving only sixty-four drops that still possess great vitality. If several decades pass again, it is estimated that these last sixty-four drops will also completely rot away."

  Having received the Semi-Holy Blood, Zhang Ruochen bowed deeply in front of Jin Yun's Semi-Holy skeleton in the large pit.

  Then Zhang Ruochen buried Jin Yunbansheng's remains, using a huge stone to make a tombstone, and engraved six words on the tombstone: "Tomb of Jin Yunbansheng".

  Zhang Ruochen had no intention of leaving now, deciding to stay temporarily and raise his martial arts cultivation to the Xuanji Realm's Great Perfection before going out again.

  Earlier, Zhang Ruochen had ingested eight stalks of Three-leafed Sage Grass and ten kilograms of Spiritual Meat. By now, he had only refined one-fifth of the saintly power and spiritual energy within them.

  To impact the Xuanji Boundary's Great Perfection, one must first thoroughly refine and merge the remaining Holy Energy and Spiritual Energy within their body, making their physical strength even stronger.

  Cultivate the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.

  "When practicing the Dragon Elephant Palm, it will mobilize the strength of every muscle and bone in the whole body. Only through continuous intense exercise can the physical body's absorption speed of holy power and spiritual power reach its fastest."

  The first four palms of Longxiang's Banruozhang, Zhang Ruochen has cultivated to the realm of Dacheng. Now he can start cultivating the fifth palm, Xiangli Jiuzhan.

  The elephant's strength is ninefold, even more mysterious and powerful.

  Now, Zhang Ruochen exerted his full strength in a single palm strike, comparable to an ordinary mid-stage Earth Realm warrior's strongest blow.

  If you cultivate the Elephant Power Ninefold to its ultimate form, you can unleash nine palm strikes in a row, stacking their power together to release an attack that is nine times stronger.

  When this palm technique is cultivated to its ultimate stage, the Dragon Elephant Palm can be promoted to a mid-grade spiritual martial art. The power released by the palm technique is comparable to that of a high-grade spiritual martial art.

  Of course, the difficulty of cultivating the Ninefold Refinement is also extremely great, and it's not something that can be accomplished overnight.

  Zhang Ruochen stood at the bottom of the dark ground, his true energy rapidly circulating throughout his body. Every meridian, every blood vessel, every inch of muscle and every block of bone power surged towards his arm.

  His entire body's strength converged together, causing his arm to be completely enveloped by true energy, transforming into a white arm.

  "Ninefold Power of the Elephant"

  Zhang Ruochen struck out nine palm prints in a row, his arm remaining at the same level throughout.

  Nine palm prints connected in a string flew out simultaneously and slammed into the hard stone wall.

  "Humming"

  Nine palm prints sounded in a row, leaving a nine-inch deep palm print pit on the stone wall.

  The power of the nine palm prints is completely separate and does not overlap, so it will produce nine sounds. If they really overlap each other, only one sound will be produced.

  "It's too difficult to overlap the power of the nine palm prints at the same time and form one palm print, it can't be cultivated like this. Continuing to cultivate like this will never succeed in cultivating the Nine Overlapping Palm Technique."

  "First try overlapping two palm prints into one."

  Zhang Ruochen once again mobilized his true energy and with extremely fast speed, he consecutively threw out two palm strikes.

  "Humming"

  Two palm prints sounded, and a two-inch deep palm print pit was left on the stone wall.

  Although the two palm prints are still separate, the interval between the two palm prints is very short. If you don't listen carefully, it's almost like one sound.

  Continue.

  Zhang Ruochen knew that he had found the right way of cultivation, and as long as he continued to cultivate, he would definitely be able to successfully cultivate the Nine Layers of Elephant Power.

  On the first day, Zhang Ruochen consecutively struck out 12,000 palm prints, exhausting his true energy six times.

  Each time he exhausted his true energy, Zhang Ruochen immediately entered the inner space of the Time and Space Crystal, recovering his true energy in the shortest possible time before continuing to practice his palm technique.

  The next day, Zhang Ruochen made 13,000 palm prints and his true energy was depleted six times.

  On the third day, Zhang Ruochen struck out 14,000 palm prints, and his true energy was still depleted six times.

  The amount of true energy in the air lake has not increased, but the true energy inside Zhang Ruochen's body has become more condensed, more refined and more intense. Therefore, he can produce more palm prints with the same amount of true energy.

  Every time he finished practicing, Zhang Ruochen would feel his whole body aching as if it was about to split open, and his arms felt like they had been severed.

  Using Jade Pure True Qi, after cultivating for one night, that painful energy will completely disappear and restore to the most full spiritual state.

  According to Zhang Ruochen's speculation, it should be the hidden holy power and spiritual power in the body that repaired the damaged flesh. Coupled with the nourishment of Yu Jing Zhen Qi, by the second day, his body naturally recovered to its peak state.

  Zhang Ruochen practiced for seven consecutive days and punched out ten million palm prints, finally mastering the Elephant Power Ninefold to the entry level.

  "Ninefold Strength of an Elephant"

  Standing ten meters away from the stone wall, Zhang Ruochen flashed out two palms like lightning.

  Two palm prints overlapped each other and slammed onto the stone wall, producing a loud noise, and pounded out a nine-inch deep palm print hole on the stone wall.

  To know the power of Zhang Ruochen's single palm, it can only leave a one-inch deep palm print on the stone wall. Nine consecutive palms can leave a nine-inch deep palm print on the stone wall.

  Now, Zhang Ruochen simply stacked the Elephant Power Ninefold to the entry level. With both palms stacked together, he burst out with twice the power and punched out a nine-inch deep palm print pit.

  The power of this palm is comparable to the power of nine palms.

  "Exploding with double strength is just the beginning; exploding with triple strength can achieve minor success."

  To unleash three times the power, the three palm prints must overlap each other.

  "It takes 100,000 palm prints to reach the entry level. It's estimated that it will take 1 million palm prints to reach a small success."

  After seven days of arduous training, Zhang Ruochen fully unleashed the holy power and spiritual power hidden within his body, absorbing about a quarter of it, and his physical strength increased significantly.

  As long as you continue to cultivate your palm technique, you will definitely be able to fully absorb the remaining three-quarters of sacred power and spiritual energy.

  Xiang Li Jiu Di was cultivated to the entry level, Zhang Ruochen entered the time-space crystal stone for cultivation.

  In the inner space of the Time-Space Crystal, Zhang Ruochen still had to make at least 15,000 palm prints every day.

  After three months of cultivation, Zhang Ruochen had struck the palm print over 17 million times and finally achieved a minor success in cultivating the Nine Fold Fist. The sacred power and spiritual power hidden within his body were almost completely absorbed into his flesh and blood, transforming into his own strength.

  At the same time, Zhang Ruochen's body's Jade Pure True Qi became even more condensed, a full two times purer than before.

  Now Zhang Ruochen can cast Palm Imprint up to 20,000 times a day.

  "Strength of nine elephants."

  Still standing ten meters away from the stone wall, Zhang Ruochen's arm stretched out in a straight line, and he struck out three palm prints in a row.

  Three palms overlap together, bursting out three times the power.

  Boom

  The stone wall shook slightly and formed a palm print pit three times the size of Zhang Ruochen's palm, twenty-seven inches deep.

  "This is just three times my current strength in one palm? I'm afraid this one palm of mine can severely injure a mid-stage warrior from the Earthly Boundary."

  Zhang Ruochen's heart was filled with joy, the efforts of the past few months had finally borne fruit.

  Although Zhang Ruochen had been cultivating in the Time and Space Crystal for three months, only one month had actually passed outside.

  The time for the intermediate ruins exploration exam is three months, and only one month and ten days have passed, so Zhang Ruochen still has a lot of time to impact the Xuanji boundary.

  "Start impacting the extreme boundary of the Great Perfection now."

  Zhang Ruochen entered the inner space of the Time and Space Crystal, sat cross-legged on the ground, took out the jade bottle containing the Half-Saint Blood, and held it in his hand.

  "Just refine a drop and a half of sacred blood, and it should be enough to break through to the Profound Extreme Realm's Great Perfection."

  The lid of the jade bottle was opened, and Zhang Ruochen's palm waved, a drop of crimson half-sacred blood flew out of the jade bottle, emitting a bright red glow, like a small red sun suspended in Zhang Ruochen's palm.
