Since trading for the large amount of Saint Fruits and Saint Herbs with the Ancient Civilization Sect, he did not have much time to consume and absorb them. Only now did he have time to quickly increase his cultivation level.

Before long, he managed to finish digesting all the Saint Fruits and Herbs he carried with him.

The number of Rules of Saintly Way had almost doubled, with the total being about ninety thousand.

Within his lower abdomen, the Heaven Pa.s.s River had broadened, with the ninety thousand Saintly Rules swimming within like dragons and snakes. That made Zhang Ruochen ever more powerful.

Even then, he seemed to be a bit lacking in his cultivation level compared to the level of the Fourth-step Saint King.

Since the Heaven Pa.s.s River had only broadened, the speed at which the rules moved within did not actually increase in speed.

“I could already feel that the Heaven Pa.s.s River is shaking. If I could obtain a few more Peerless Saint Fruit, or Saint Herbs that is even more ancient, I would be able to reach the next step.” Zhang Ruochen quietly muttered.

That said, given his drastic increase in power, in his current state he could easily defeat the experts like Blue Fang and Yuwen Jing.

Then again, the difference between having a breakthrough and not having one is like night and day. It would have made him incomparable to before.

“Swis.h.!.+”

The curtains of the Saint Carriage opened, and three Saint Fruits and a sixty-thousand year old Saint Medicine Plant flew out.

Fairy Tianchu’s voice could be heard, “Take it, it’s a gift.”

After grabbing that three Saint Fruit and that Saint Herb, he could immediately tell that within a huge amount of energy is within them. They seemed to be found within this ancient ruins, and each was in itself an invaluable item.

“As expected, Fairy Tianchu is still cautious of me. She is keeping an eye on me even now.”

Regardless of what motive Fairy Tianchu had, this move improved her image in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes drastically.

Afterall, Zhang Ruochen had already promised her to help her to obtain the Holy Spring. She definitely did not have to give him anything else.

In fact, helping Zhang Ruochen to improve his cultivation had no benefit to her at all.

“Don’t think too much. I merely wanted to make a friend. I am also confident of Chen Jing’s judgement. A man that she could take notice of would definitely not be a devious person.” It was then Fairy Tianchu’s voice sounded again.

“Since Fairy treats me so sincerely, it is only nature for me to return the favor.”

Zhang Ruochen nodded, and consumed another Saint Fruit.

The first fruit was already enough to increase the number of Rules of Saintly Way by about four thousand. The motions of the Heaven Pa.s.s River became more intense. This was indeed a sign that he was about to make a breakthrough.

Zhang Ruochen carried on, and consumed the rest all at once.

At that moment, Saint Light covered his body as a unique fragrance was emitted out from him.

Within his lower abdomen came a loud rumbling, as though there was a thunderstorm brewing. Sometimes, the Saint Qi emitted outwards, sometimes, Saint Qi was being channeled inwards. Before his cultivation level had increased, his physical body and the Saint Soul had started to evolve.

“Breaking through to the Fourth-step Saint King would trigger an evolution on the level of life?” Zhang Ruochen was rather surprised himself.

One must understand that only when making major breakthroughs across different cultivation levels will there usually be evolution on the level of life.

For example:

Below the Fish-Dragon realm, all are just normal humans.

The Fish-Dragon realm would be the transition from a normal human to a Half-Saint

And since Half-Saint and a normal human are different levels in the Levels of Life, a Half-Saint would have a drastically longer lifespan.

The same could be said of a Saint and a Half-Saint. And that also applies to between a Saint King and a Saint, where there Saint King could live to a thousand years and beyond.

But such evolution happening with breaking through from the Third-step Saint King to Fourth-step Saint King was something that Zhang Ruochen had not expected at all.

Within his lower abdomen, there was an even more surprising change.

As Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Qi followed the methods in the Eighth level of the Emperor Ming Nine-sky Scripture, the Divine Fire Jingmie that was suspended within his lower abdomen turned into a threads of fire, and merged with the Saint Qi which then entered his meridians.

At the start, Zhang Ruochen was completely shocked as he was worried that he could not control the Divine Fire Jingmie.

That was because, as long as there was the slightest of error, all of his meridians could suffer irreparable damage, and even his body could be torched into mere dust.

After all, since ancient times, those who self-ignited due to the backlash of failing to control the Divine Fire was actually not that rare even amongst geniuses and experts.

But as the Divine Fire Jingmie circulated within his body, Zhang Ruochen discovered that the originally blue color flames had become a translucent white flame.

That is… Official Flames.

Divine Fire Jingmie had finally evolved from ordinary flames to official flames.

Zhang Ruochen was ecstatic, and thought: Emperor Ming Nine-Sky Scriptures could even a.s.sist in the cultivation of Divine Fire Jingmie. This was such an unexpected surprise.

Following with Zhang Ruochen concentrated on refining his cultivation, and gradually, all the ordinary flames had transformed into official flames.

Even though it seemed like it was just a simple increase in rank, the power of Diving Fire Jingmie had increased exponentially.

Official flames could smelt and refine Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Qi to become even more condensed. That meant that the quality of his Saint Qi was much higher than before as well.

Zhang Ruochen’s body now was like a furnace.
