Chapter 1660: Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror
“Amazing, Amazing… Stop, stop! I was just trying to survive. You can’t bully a good guy like this…” The Psychic Sage kept yelling.
“You dare call yourself a good guy?”
Xiang Chunan was pissed off again upon hearing that, and he hit the Psychic Sage harder.
Under the purification of the Buddha sarira, the Yin Qi from Amazing Saint Fruit started to permeate slowly. After spinning around the Emperor Yi Bone Staff twice, it was swallowed by the evil spirit in the bone staff, which shocked Zhang Ruochen.
“The Yin Qi in this place is incredible, probably dating back to the ancient times. I can’t believe the evil spirit managed to swallow it. Will it mutate?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head. The evil spirit only inhaled a little ancient Yin Qi, so it was almost impossible for the spirit to mutate.
After a short while, the Yin Qi in the Amazing Saint Fruit was completely swallowed. Zhang Ruochen then yelled at Xiang Chunan, “Never mind. The Yin Qi in the fruit is very thin, so it’s not fatal even if we eat it. If it really wanted us killed, it would’ve infused lots of Yin Qi into the saint fruit when we were picking it.”
After hearing that, the Psychic Sage immediately said, “That’s right. I’m not like you. I just want to get the other half of my saint soul back instead of killing you.”
“What do you mean you’re not like us? What did you think of us? We’re the good guys.”
Xiang Chunan trampled on the Psychic Sage twice before walking toward Zhang Ruochen.
The Psychic Sage wallowed on the ground, wrapping its arms around its knees and whispering, “If you’re good guys, then everyone in the world is a good guy.”
Zhang Ruochen gave the purified Amazing Saint Fruit to Xiang Chunan and triggered the Buddha Emperor sarira to purify the second Amazing Saint Fruit.
After eating the Amazing Saint Fruit, Xiang Chunan gleamed with purple light. He then sat down in the Taoist temple and started to refine it.
Zhang Ruochen then purified the remaining two Amazing Saint Fruits. He didn’t swallow the fruits immediately, as he didn’t want the Psychic Sage to attack him and Xiang Chunan when they were refining the saint fruits, although it was highly unlikely.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen recalled something and walked to the Psychic Sage.
The Psychic Sage was scared, as it had been beaten too many times. It said, “What… What do you want?”
“Don’t be so scared. I just have some questions for you.” Zhang Ruochen sat down on the ground and asked, “What’s your name?”
The Psychic Sage was still very anxious. It said, “Name? What do you mean by ‘name’?”
“You know the language in Heaven World well. Don’t you know ‘name’ stands for the identity of a creature?” asked Zhang Ruochen.
The Psychic Sage said, “There were monks like you who entered here, so I learned the language by eavesdropping on them. As for my name… Is that even important?”
“Haha, not really. Since you like to scream the word ‘Amazing’ so much, I’ll call you ‘Amazing’ from now on!” said Zhang Ruochen.
The Psychic Sage said, “Isn’t that some sort of yelling?”
“Yelling?” Zhang Ruochen was dazed, then he started laughing.
The Psychic Sage stayed silent for a while and said, “I heard that word a lot when I first got my consciousness, so it was the first word I learned.”
Zhang Ruochen got what it was saying. He then switched back to the original topic and said, “You should know this place well since you were born and have refined here.”
“I don’t know,” said the Psychic Sage.
Zhang Ruochen shot it a glare.
The Psychic Sage was very anxious. It then said, “I really don’t know. Ever since I gained consciousness, I’ve been in this small place, which is only the border of this whole place. There’re more dangerous things deep in this area, more terrifying than that half ancient supreme saint. I have to stay as far away as possible.”
Zhang Ruochen kept observing the Psychic Sage’s face, and he didn’t find it to be lying. He then took out the fragment of the turtle shell he’d dug out from the bottom of the Taoist temple and asked, “What is this?”
The Psychic Sage immediately rushed to the fragment of the turtle shell, trying to get it back.
Zhang Ruochen took out the other half of the Psychic Sage’s saint soul and held it in his hand, which horrified the Psychic Sage and made it freeze.
“Just tell me the truth, otherwise, I can just easily inspect your saint soul to find the answer I want, but it’ll cause some serious damage to your saint soul.”
Zhang Ruochen then touched the light ball with his finger.
The Psychic Sage said, “Okay! I’ll tell you! Follow me!”
The Psychic Sage led Zhang Ruochen into the miniature world in the wall. They came to the godly platform and saluted the elder. “Do you see the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror? The fragment in your hand is one of the inlays on the mirror.”
Although the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror was a mirror, there was an oval area at the center of the mirror that was coarse, seeming to have something inlaid on it.
Zhang Ruochen pinched the fragment of the turtle shell and compared it with the mirror.
The corner of the turtle-shell fragment matched with the edge of the center of Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror, and it would make up one eighths of the area if he put the fragment on it.
Zhang Ruochen showed up on the godly platform and tried to grab the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror, but he pulled his hand back halfway through.
The Psychic Sage looked disappointed.
Zhang Ruochen turned around and stared at it. “How about you do it?”
“Me? No, No. I’m not interested in that damn mirror.” The Psychic Sage shook his head.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Well, I am. Help me fetch it.”
The Psychic Sage looked at the cluster of light in Zhang Ruochen’s hand, and it didn’t dare go against his will. It moved slowly to the godly platform. After it got onto the godly platform, it had to come clean with Zhang Ruochen. “We can’t touch the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror, man.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Then why didn’t you tell me before?”
“I just remembered that.”
The Psychic Sage said, “The leader of Amazing Temple, Lord Luotianzhen, was an ancient powerful being. Even if he’s been dead for a long time, his corpse still contains immense power. You saw how his power is suppressing the ancient corpses outside. If we try to get the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror, we’ll piss him off.”
Zhang Ruochen frowned and stopped pushing the Psychic Sage. He took out the Emperor Yi Bone Staff and stuck it into the ground.
He then infused his mind power into the bone staff.
Following a sizzling sound, the bone staff turned into a giant black skeleton, stepping toward the godly platform and reaching its hand out to grab the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror.
Boom!
The Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror gleamed with purple light, cracking the body of the black skeleton, which turned into a white bone staff and bounced away.
The purple light permeated the mini world.
Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen was prepared for this. He grabbed the Psychic Sage and hid in the Mercury Gourd to dodge that power.
After half an hour, Zhang Ruochen walked out of the Mercury Gourd.
The mini world was tranquil again, and the old Taoist man with a rugged body was still sitting on the platform, and he looked peaceful.
Zhang Ruochen picked up the Emperor Yi Bone Staff.
It was a staff made of the bone of a supreme saint, so it wasn’t damaged at all even after such a shock wave. However, the evil spirit in the bone staff was seriously injured and had fallen into a slumber.
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t use the Emperor Yi Bone Staff for a long time.
“Thank God I tried it with the Emperor Yi Bone Staff. If I wasn’t that careful and tried to pick the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror myself…” Zhang Ruochen couldn’t even fathom the consequence.
The Psychic Sage threw up its hands and said, “I told you not to touch it. Why didn’t you believe me?”
Zhang Ruochen thought that the Psychic Sage was very sneaky and wicked, and that it didn’t look like a divine medicinal pill who’d been away from the real world its entire life. It was likely that the Psychic Sage had led Zhang Ruochen here on purpose and almost killed him.
Zhang Ruochen stopped thinking about getting the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror and said, “Tell me, where did you learn the techniques and saint spells.”
The Psychic Sage said without hesitation, “I comprehended them from the fragment of the turtle shell in your hand. You can also do it from the pictures on the fragment. Each character on the fragment stands for a different saint spell. You can try it if you don’t believe it’s true.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t believe what it said easily anymore. Techniques and saint spells were the last thing he needed, so he didn’t need to go try to comprehend the fragment of the turtle shell.
Xiang Chunan had refined the Amazing Saint Fruit completely, and there were purple-gold inscriptions flowing on his skin.
Zhang Ruochen walked out of the wall and asked, “How was the Amazing Saint Fruit?”
“Impressive. My body constitution has improved a lot, and I have twelve thousand more saintly way rules in my body. My saint soul and mind power were also improved. The most amazing thing is that my meridians, saint meridians and veins were all expanded and strengthened,” said Xiang Chunan gleefully.
Xiang Chunan specialized in refining his body constitution, but he also practiced techniques of martial way. The saintly way rules he formed were only there to assist him, as he mostly relied on his body strength to fight his enemies.
Chunan’s body was already very powerful, yet the Amazing Saint Fruit still managed to enhance his body drastically. How impressive that Amazing Saint Fruit is on improving one’s body? Not to mention it increased his saintly way rules by twelve thousand. Zhang Ruochen was thrilled.
There were only eighty-two hundred saintly way rules in Zhang Ruochen’s body.
Unfortunately, Zhang Ruochen was still injured, so he had to wait before he could eat a saint fruit that was so strong.
Xiang Chunan asked, “Have you figured out a way to get out of here, Brother Ruochen? If not, then let’s fight our way out of here.”
Xiang Chunan couldn’t wait to have a huge battle now that his body strength had been boosted.
“Don’t be so impulsive. Are you sure you can fight the half body of the ancient supreme saint?” Zhang Ruochen stroked his chin and said. “I can set up a space transportation formation here. We might be able to get out of here using that.”
“Haha. I know I can always count on you! I might be killed instantly if I go fight that ancient supreme saint.” Xiang Chunan smiled.
It didn’t take Zhang Ruochen much time to make a small space transportation formation given his cultivation and mind power, so he finished that very soon in the Taoist temple.
However, he didn’t activate the formation immediately. Instead, he sat down beside the formation to recover.
This place was very special, and he might run into some obstacles in the transportation formation. Only after he healed his injuries could Zhang Ruochen have better control of the whole transportation process.
