1270 Inside The Gourd (2/2)
Before, he would have had to spend a few months to clear out the flawed energy and stabilize his saintly source and Holy Qi. After receiving the Jingmie Divine Fire, it could be said that he would no longer have to spend time to stabilize his power. His cultivation could improve quickly.
”You're trying for a breakthrough so soon? You entered the Saint Realm not long ago, right?”
The Crazy Alcoholic was shocked. After studying Zhang Ruochen, he recovered.
”Back then, it took me four years to go from the lower to upper Saint Realm. It's been so fast already. Ah! Comparing people will really piss you off. Go in and try for a breakthrough without worry. Hand the Mercury Gourd to me. I will definitely protect you.”
Zhang Ruochen stared at him with hesitation.
”Why are you looking at me like that? I swore to never do an evil thing in this life and you still won't give the Mercury Gourd to me?” The Crazy Alcoholic stood with his hands on his hips. Smoke came out of his nose in anger. He felt that Zhang Ruochen was doubting his character.
”I'm only worried,” Zhang Ruochen said. ”You might be tempted by a treasure in the Abandoned Deep Sea and try to enter some death zones. You'd kill me too. After all, the higher your cultivation, the more likely you'll die in the Yin Yang Sea.”
”Don't worry. My cultivation can't be compared to those impressive thousand-year fellows, but I'm at least top ten in saving myself. You should know, it's almost impossible to survive Empress Chi Yao's sword, but I'm one of the few who did. You should know how powerful I am now, right?”
The Crazy Alcoholic jutted his chin out. Instead of feeling shame, he thought that he was very impressive.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and didn't say anything else, just telling the Crazy Alcoholic to help find Huang Yanchen and the others. Then Zhang Ruochen used the Spatial Move. He stepped forward, going past a layer of ripples and entering the Mercury Gourd.
”No wonder he's the Time and Space Descendant. As long as there are no spatial restraint formations, he can go anywhere in the world with ease.”
The Crazy Alcoholic was envious. Taking the Mercury Gourd, he hung it on his hip and steered the ice mountain forward quickly.
Inside the gourd, on the jade island.
”Come out.”
Zhang Ruochen pointed forward. Silver roots extended out of his body, crawling along the jade island to the white water.
The roots were too dense. They covered the entire island.
Whoosh!
A huge green vine flew out of Zhang Ruochen's back. Like a huge dragon, it rushed tens of thousands of feet above the water. There was a beautiful flower at the top of the vine. With a rain of light, it bent down, appearing before Zhang Ruochen.
There was a beautiful woman in the flower. Her skin was as white as goat fat and her figure was slender with the right curves. Her long hair tumbled down like a waterfall. A pair of spirited yet gentle eyes stared at Zhang Ruochen. The tempting red lips opened.
”Master, my current cultivation is only enough to fight half an Absolute Land Saint. If I can absorb enough saintly liquid, I'll be able to fight with a true Absolute Land Saint.”
Zhang Ruochen put his hands behind his back. ”I let you out so you can absorb saintly liquid and reach new heights.”
”Thank you, Master.”
The Holy Carnivorous Flower's voice was flirtatious. She blinked her left eye as if purposely tempting Zhang Ruochen. With a lovely laugh, the beautiful flower flew out and started absorbing the saintly liquid in the river.
”The Immortal Goddess is close to the Absolute Land Realm. The Siming Goddess of the Earth God Temple and Immortal Goddess both have immeasurable abilities and strange, unpredictable methods. In addition, there are some powerful figures that still haven't come out. They're very troublesome.”
Zhang Ruochen didn't want to have to escape whenever he met them. Thus, he desperately wanted to improve himself and become stronger.
Afterward, he'd be able to fight them squarely.
”As long as I reach the middle level, I'll be able to counter Absolute Land Saints.”
He sat down cross-legged and formed a print with his hands. Holy Qi rushed through him with loud booms. It was like thousands of rivers crashing through him.
Whoosh—
One hundred and forty-four Holy Qi bridges rose up above the river. They rushed into the 144 apertures on Zhang Ruochen's body, making the booming sounds inside him even louder.
