Chapter 2479: A Spirit

Zhang Ruochen’s consciousness was comprehending, understanding, and controlling the newly acquired Intergold Precept Marks in his sea of Qi.

This was a rare opportunity to peek into the mysteries of divinity in the Supreme Saint Realm.

Although there were 100 million Divine Marks of Flame in the Yanshen’s leg, they were not in his sea of Qi. They could only be used for battle.

Of course, one Yanshen’s leg was far more than 100 million divine marks.

Before the leg was chopped off, most of the precept marks had been taken back into his sea of Qi.

Otherwise, one leg would contain at least 100 million precept marks.

If there were 100 million precept marks in Zhang Ruochen’s Yanshen’s leg, even Wuma Jiuxing would not be able to withstand it, let alone kill Dang Hu in the Early-stage of the Banshi Isshou Realm.

As he became more and more familiar with the control of divine marks, Zhang Ruochen’s body dissolved and became flesh and blood again. He could finally move.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare to walk out of the room. He took out the Sevenstar Imperial Palace and entered it. He couldn’t wait to release the precept in his body to form a Precept Domain.

His Precept Domain couldn’t compare to a Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint’s Precept Domain. It was just an invisible domain. It didn’t transform into Path or evolve into form.

But this time was different. After the precepts were released, countless golden tigers ran through the Precept Domain.

One golden tiger represented an Intergold Precept Mark.

The shadows of the tigers filled the sky.

Tiger roars were deafening.

Unfortunately, Zhang Ruochen’s control over the Intergold Precept Marks was weak. The golden tigers ran around wildly in chaos. He couldn’t control his Precept Domain like a Thousand-Koan Realm cultivator. If the Precept Domain was suppressed, it could crush a low-level Supreme Saint.

Zhang Ruochen thought, ‘Although there are only 670 million Intergold Precept Marks, they’re far more powerful than my own 7.5 billion precepts.

‘One Intergold Precept Mark contains more than 100 times more powerful than my precepts.

‘Does this mean that a Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint in the pinnacle who cultivates 70 billion precepts can no longer use his Precept Domain to suppress me?’

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruochen felt much better.

The number of precepts had always been Zhang Ruochen’s weakness. He would be suppressed by the Precept Domain of a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint often. So he had to borrow the power of Qiankun Realm or the domains of the three Major Paths of the Ancients or the Supreme Power of a Supreme Artifact. Only then could he break free and counterattack.

Although his Precept Domain was still inferior to that of the Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint, it was impossible for a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint in the Early and Middle stages to crush him with just their Precept Domain.

As for the Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint…

How many Supreme Saints in the Thousand-Koan Realm could cultivate the number of precepts to more than 70 billion?

Zhang Ruochen’s current Precept Domain could fight head-on with any Supreme Saint in the Thousand-Koan Realm.

However, Zhang Ruochen had two terrible problems.

First, the 670 million Intergold Precept Marks were too strong, far more robust than his precepts.

This was not a good thing. The Intergold Precept Marks would affect Zhang Ruochen’s path cultivation.

Second, although the Intergold Precept Marks were strong, he could only control about 100 million of them. The remaining 500 million would be in a chaotic state even if he released them. It would be difficult for them to form an effective attack.

Unless his spiritual power could reach the 67th level.

As long as his spiritual power was strong enough, he could control the precept marks.

The second problem was to improve his spiritual power.

The first problem was to improve his precepts.

In addition, Zhang Ruochen thought of the third problem.

How to use the Intergold Precept Marks?

Should he merge it into the Precept Domain and fight with other Supreme Saints?

Then, he could only use it to fight with Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saints.

The Intergold Precept Marks were not like the Divine Marks of Flame. The Divine Marks of Flame could be directly transformed into offensive power with Yanshen’s leg as a carrier.

Or he needed a saint technique to transform the precepts into combat power.

Zhang Ruochen asked the Intergold Tiger for advice, hoping that it could teach him an ancient saint technique or a higher knowledge.

Since it was a divine mark, it could be used to perform higher knowledge.

Besides, Zhang Ruochen had a Demigod-level physique, so he did not lack the divine Qi.

Even if it was just an immature small amount of higher knowledge, it could still shine in the Saint-level and burst out with unparalleled power.

Unfortunately, the Intergold Tiger said casually, “You are a Yuanhui level genius and the best brush in the world. Instead of copying others’ paintings, why don’t you try painting yourself?

“Other cultivators have already created many powerful saint techniques in the Supreme Saint Realm. You should be more outstanding than them in the future generations.

“Now, the Intergold Precept Mark is an excellent piece of canvas for you. I’m looking forward to what mysterious paintings you can draw on the canvas with this brush.”

“Why do I feel that you can’t bear to teach me the higher knowledge of the saint technique?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

The Intergold Tiger said, “Indeed, the ancient saint technique’s higher knowledge can be used to control the Intergold Precept Mark, but it is difficult to conform to the precepts of heaven and earth in this era. It will be hampered if it does not receive the blessing of the precepts of heaven and earth. No matter how powerful the saint technique’s higher knowledge is, its power will be greatly reduced. Therefore, you should create your own saint technique suitable for the Intergold Precept Marks. I have high hopes for you.”

When had Zhang Ruochen not thought of creating his own saint technique?

It was just too much of a waste of time.

Most of the cultivators who created saint techniques, be it Supreme Saints or Saint Kings, felt that their cultivation could no longer improve, so they put their energy into creating saint techniques.

Of course, some talented people could cultivate while creating their own techniques.

However, how could the saint techniques they created compare to the ones created by their predecessors?

The saint techniques created by the predecessors have been passed down to this day, so they must have been modified and perfected countless times in the future. It was even possible that the ones who created the techniques were the strongest among the gods.

A thousand years ago, the Sword God Feng Chen was a first-class genius. He overshadowed the figures of an era in the Infernal Court. He was proficient in all kinds of things. With the occasional insight, he could create a peerless technique.

With his talent, he could ultimately become one of the representatives of the Yuanhui period.

Unfortunately, he was too distracted and too refined. In the end, he didn’t even condense a Grade Two Saintwill.

Que somehow was more focused on cultivating his Sword of Oblivion technique.

It was hard to say who would be more successful in the future, Sword God Feng Chen or Que.

However, at least in the aspect of saintwill, Que was more potent than the Sword God Feng Chen.

Zhang Ruochen had actually created a sword technique.

It was called Blossoming Cadence.

It was a sword technique created by combining the Swordsmanship, the Path of Dimension, and the Path of Time.

As Zhang Ruochen’s understanding of the three Paths became deeper and deeper, he continued to perfect this sword technique. Its power was now considerable. Although there was only one move, he could perform it as he pleased.

The advantage of creating a saint technique was that it could perfectly match his mind, body, and saint Qi.

He could perform it smoothly. His mind and sword were in synchronization.

However, Zhang Ruochen had never created a second sword technique because he did not know how to evolve the second move.

Moreover, he had always felt that the sword technique he created seemed to be exquisite, but it lacked one thing.

It lacked a spirit.

It could represent his own spirit.

A sword technique and a saint technique. If there was no spirit, it was equivalent to a person having no soul.

Even if he created it, he would only be a clay figurine. He wouldn’t have much success in the future.

From creating the saint technique, Zhang Ruochen thought of his own spirit. And from his own spirit, he thought of his own pursuit.

In the past, his motivation for cultivating was to take revenge on Chi Yao.

Later, he found out part of the truth and was lost for a long time. During that period, he didn’t have his own pursuit. He was always led by the nose by various factors, moving forward step by step.

He cultivated every day, but what was the purpose of cultivating?

To save Kunlun?

To find the ultimate truth that had happened 800 years ago?

To surpass Chi Yao, defeat her, or even kill her to open up his mind?

No, neither.

Later, Zhang Ruochen was enlightened by Pan Ruo and Luo Sha. He had his own vision. To reshape the order of heaven and earth, change the entire universe, and let all living things live a different way.

However, that vision was too big and too far away. It was like a dream that required a lifetime to pursue.

Moreover, to reshape the order of heaven and earth, he needed a strong heart and an unparalleled spirit. He needed to transcend first. But what exactly was that spirit?

Zhang Ruochen fell into deep thought.

The fragrant wind blew gently.

The door and windows did not move, but a soul-stirring woman in a red dress appeared in the room. There was the gentle beauty of a peerless human woman and the wicked charm of Rakshasi.

Zhang Ruochen sensed Guye Jing’s aura. He woke up from his thoughts. Walking out of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace, he glanced at her. He said, “You’re not here to take the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin, are you?”

Guye Jing was like a painting of beauty. Standing beside the dark brown wooden wall, she said, “If I attack, can you stop me?”

“I can’t, but you won’t get anything,” Zhang Ruochen said.

“Zhang Ruochen,” said Guye Jing, “You underestimate the value of the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin and the Fane of Origin. I can’t do anything to you, but the gods will take action as long as I capture you and bring you back to The Rāhu Mountains. At that time, all your secrets will not be secrets.”

After saying this, she released the deadly demonic Qi from her body.

Every strand of demonic Qi was like a chain.

Zhang Ruochen remained calm and said, “Wargod Bloodximius has bestowed on me the Sevenstar Imperial Palace and the Wargod Belt. He sees me as the future successor of the Xue Jue family. He knows that I have countless powerful enemies in the Infernal Court, but why can he go to the Jadeite Realm without worry?”

“The Wargod Belt can resist the gods, but it can’t resist cultivators below divinity,” said Guye Jing.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Do you really think I don’t have any other trump cards?”

“I want to give it a try!” said Guye Jing.

Guye Jing controlled the deadly demonic Qi and merged it with the precepts. Dozens of blood-red chains condensed and wrapped around Zhang Ruochen with a clattering sound.

The space around Zhang Ruochen was instantly suppressed and became extremely solid.

Before the chains wrapped around his body, Zhang Ruochen felt that the entire world had become lifeless. The space was infinitely compressed, and he could not move.

ROAR!

A deafening tiger roar came from Zhang Ruochen’s body.

Zhang Ruochen’s body emitted a dazzling golden light. The Intergold Precept Marks turned into shadows of golden tigers and rushed out to fight against the chains that wrapped around his body.
