Chapter 1708: Isolation

After thinking, Zhang Ruochen said, “I have another big guy here. Can you make it submit?”

Blackie didn’t care about the so-called “big guy.” It was wondering how it could eat one of the Psychic Sage’s legs. Could that so-called “big guy” be more precious than the leg of a 100,000-year-old saint medicinal plant?

“Set up a formation first so it doesn’t escape,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Blackie didn’t think it was necessary. “Escape?” it said proudly. “My cultivation has recovered a bit, so I can suppress anything. Zhang Ruochen, stop dallying and show me your big guy. Let me help you see what it is.”

“I still think you should set up an imprisonment formation first. If that big guy escapes, I’ll kill you.”

“So unnecessary.”

Blackie sighed. Then it took out a piece of jade covered in formation runes and sent Holy Qi into it.

Whoosh!

In an instant, a circular formation disc appeared.

Zhang Ruochen checked it. He discovered that it was a grade eight formation. The runes were very complex and varied. It could restrain a strong Saint King.

Annoyed, Blackie said, “Don’t worry. Since a portion of my cultivation has recovered, my formation skills are already very advanced. I’m an Earth Master among Formation Saint Masters and can easily set up a grade eight formation.”

“You’re an Earth Master?” the Amazing Little Taoist asked.

Blackie looked at it coldly. “Is it strange for a Supreme Saint to be an Earth Master?”

Saint Masters had three levels: Man Master, Earth Master, and Sky Master.

Most Formation Saint Masters were Man Masters. They could set up grade eight formations and use them against strong Saint Kings.

Those who were very advanced could set up grade nine formations and use them against Supreme Saints. These Saint Masters were known as Earth Masters.

According to legends, Formation Saint Masters who delved deeply into this field were the strongest in combat below the God Realm but could also use formations to change an entire world’s weather and fate. They could also change the path of stars. Their tactics were incredible and unbelievable. These were called Sky Masters.

Of course, a Formation Saint Master’s main power wasn’t for combat but for other aspects. Thus, even a Man Master could become an esteemed guest for a Supreme Saint.

If you really were an Earth Master, your status would be even greater.

If a world could produce an Earth Master, it meant that even if it couldn’t produce a god, it would still be okay.

More than half of the mortal fields in Heaven World had no Formation Earth Master.

One could see how precious they were.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t believe in Blackie. If it really was an Earth Master, it would probably be even cockier now.

Blackie’s formation skills had indeed improved. It could actually carve a grade eight formation on a piece of jade and run it easily. A regular Formation Saint Master couldn’t do that.

Zhang Ruochen took out the Time and Space Secret Guide and released the seven-meter-tall white jade rabbit from the pages.

As soon as it broke free, the rabbit tried to escape. Its legs were dazzled with saint light and it rushed at the door.

Boom!

The formation disc glowed and shook violently.

Blackie’s grade eight formation was almost shattered. Shocked, Zhang Ruochen hurriedly used the Time and Space Secret Guide to trap the rabbit again.

Blackie’s eyes darted around. “Oh my, this…this…this is a piece of emperor saint jade! What kind of place is the God-Naming Platform? You can even find emperor saint jade! When is the next conference?”

“In ten years,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Blackie sighed. It felt great regret at not attending this year’s God-Naming Platform Conference.

“Stop sighing!” Zhang Ruochen said. “This emperor saint jade’s spirit was created at the God-Naming Platform. It also ate a lot of saint medicine, reaching the Supreme Saint Realm. But it’s a natural spirit and hasn’t cultivated any techniques or spells. It needs a learned person to guide it…”

“Speak no further,” Blackie cut in. “Zhang Ruochen, you found the right person. I am a learned person and have advanced cultivation. I am the most suitable to guide it.”

Zhang Ruochen stared at Blackie. A moment later, he said, “Actually, I’d wanted to give it to the Moon Goddess and have her guide it personally.”

“No! If you give it to the Moon Goddess, it’ll join Guanghan Field when it grows up and become a royal figure. It might get above us too. But if I guide it, it’ll listen to us in the end. Imagine having a Supreme Saint follower. You’d terrify everyone.” Blackie cackled.

Zhang Ruochen pet Blackie’s feathers and laughed. “Okay, I’ll see how powerful you are!”

“Don’t worry. I’m the most reliable.”

Blackie’s tactics were indeed advanced. It cast an ancient secret spell and drew dense runes on the white jade rabbit. It used the runes to turn the rabbit back into its original form, temporarily transforming into a glittering piece of jade.

That day, Blackie led the Amazing Little Taoist and emperor saint jade, hurrying back to the Moon Goddess Dojo.

Zhang Ruochen, on the other hand, was led by a first disciple of Kongling Island to a room in the first level of the Truth Godly Palace. He began cultivating in isolation.

There were three observation images in the cultivation room.

Zhang Ruochen went to the second image. He took out the Abyss Ancient Sword, placing it on the ground.

Then the sword spirit flew out of the Abyss Ancient Sword. It sat cross-legged on the sword and started observing the image.

Zhang Ruochen walked to the third image.

He’d cultivated more than 200 Rules of Truth now, so he had no need to study the second image. Only the third one would be useful.

Chances to cultivate in the Truth Godly Palace were extremely rare. Crossing the fourth level of the Ocean of Truth only gave Zhang Ruochen one year and three months of time. He also had 17 days that he hadn’t used up before.

This actually wasn’t a lot of time.

If he used all this time to comprehend the Way of Truth, it would actually be a waste.

The Truth Godly Palace was an amazing place for cultivating. The Rules of Saintly Way were very active. Comprehending the Saintly Way here would make it countless times faster to raise one’s level.

Thus, after Zhang Ruochen sat down, he lit a Honghua Vine and took out the rules emperor weapon.

After all this, he emptied his mind and went into the deep cultivation state.

His six saint souls separated. Five bodies flew out, transforming into five shadows who were identical to Zhang Ruochen. They all appeared below the third image.

Three of them studied the third image.

The other three saint souls studied the Rules of Saintly Way in the rules emperor weapon.

Time flew by. Soon, half a month had passed.

Zhang Ruochen comprehended the third image entirely. He now had 729 Rules of Truth within him.

“I comprehended close to 500 Rules of Truth in only half of a month. This is incredible.”

Zhang Ruochen loosened his arm and practiced a Luo Water Fist Technique. After adding in the Rules of Truth, his power was three times stronger.

This comprehension speed far surpassed Zhang Ruochen’s predictions.

Feng Yan, a top talent trained by the Truth Godly Palace, had been cultivating the Way of Truth since childhood. He’d studied for at least two or three years in the Truth Godly Palace, but he had less than 3,000 Rules of Truth.

As a fourth step Saint King, it was very scary that Zhang Ruochen could comprehend 500 Rules of Truth in half a month. This was enough to terrify the godly disciples of the palace.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t think he was much more talented or smarter than Feng Yan. After analyzing, he decided that it must be the five ten thousandths of the Mysteries of Truth inside him.

Without it, he definitely wouldn’t be much faster than Feng Yan at comprehending the Rules of Truth.

The accomplishments in the Way of Truth were great, but he ran into a bottleneck in the Saintly Way.

He’d cultivated for half a month, but he was basically walking in place in terms of increasing the number of Rules of Saintly Way.

To a Saint King, bottlenecks were terrifying. It could mean that this would be his final result and that he’d never get a breakthrough in his entire life.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t think his bottleneck would come so soon. He was soaked in cold sweat.

After looking closely, he discovered that he only gained seven Rules of Saintly Way after this half month and they were all Rules of Sword.

He spent half a day thinking and finally figured it out. “It must be a problem in the structure of my Rules of Saintly Way,” he said to himself. “I’ve used a lot of saint medicine and fruit these days to raise my realm. I reached 110,000 Rules of Saintly Way in a few short days.

“But most of these 110,000 rules are easy minor or major ways. Very few are Absolute Saint or Ancient Ways.

“As one of my three major ways, I only have around 200 Rules of Sword. Rules of Time and Space are even fewer—less than 50.”

He didn’t think there was anything wrong before checking. After checking carefully, Zhang Ruochen was frightened because this was very serious. If he didn’t adjust, he probably would never reach the Supreme Saint Realm.

These were his three focuses, but the number of Rules of Sword, Time and Space were almost negligible.

This was such a terrifying fact.

Of course, this was also a drawback to using saint medicine to improve. It seemed that he was improving quickly, but he was actually using up his potential and could ruin himself in the end.

Now that he realized, he could make it up.
