God Emperor

Outer South Garden.

An old, gloomy stone house, with moss growing on the stone walls. There were cracks and holes on two of the walls, and the bronze door had long been rusted into a piece of green metal.

In the stone house, the dense holy energy contracted inwards, flowing back into Zhang Ruochen's body from 144 acupoints.

"Hu."

Zhang Ruochen opened his lips and let out a long breath.

The air condensed into a hair-thin air column, hitting the rusty bronze door, making a "chi" sound, and actually penetrated the bronze door.

"After swallowing six different holy fruits in a row, the holy way rules in the body increased by 3,700, and the total reached 8,200."

Because of the great progress in his cultivation, Zhang Ruochen exhaled a breath, and within ten feet, he could penetrate the palm-thick bronze door.

In the sea of ​​qi, the flow speed of Tongtian River was obviously faster than before.

After cultivating 8,200 holy rules, even if he didn't take the Nine-Step Heavenly Road test, Zhang Ruochen could be sure that he had reached the second-step Saint King realm.

"Feng Yan is right. The Conferred God Platform Conference is indeed an unprecedented great opportunity. Continue to look for holy fruits and strive to break through to the third-step Saint King realm on the Conferred God Platform."

His cultivation level has increased significantly, and Zhang Ruochen is in a very good mood and more confident.

Next to him, Mu Lingxi is still refining the holy fruit. The holy light emanating from her body is getting brighter and brighter. Her holy body seems to be carved from fairy jade.

Zhang Ruochen took out the holy fruits he had collected earlier one by one. Some were stored in the sacred wood jar, and some were stored in the jade box. In total, there were hundreds of them.

Including the Heart Moon Holy Fruit, the seven kinds of holy fruits that can improve the Saint King's cultivation level, Zhang Ruochen has swallowed them all.

Of the remaining twelve kinds of holy fruits, some can cleanse the holy veins, some can increase life span, some can strengthen the holy soul, and some can help cultivators practice special skills and holy arts...

In short, they are all treasures in the world and are hard to find outside.

Zhang Ruochen did not take these holy fruits for the time being. After all, the Conferred God Platform Conference only lasted for three days, and he had to hurry up to find other treasures.

Mu Lingxi's practice was not as good as the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra", so her speed of refining holy fruits was naturally not as fast as Zhang Ruochen's.

After another half an hour, she woke up leisurely, opened her eyelids, and stared forward.

Zhang Ruochen was holding a broad heavy sword and studying it. From time to time, he would swing a sword or perform a complete sword technique.

Seeing Mu Lingxi awake, Zhang Ruochen stuck his heavy sword into the ground, turned around, looked at her, nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, your cultivation should have reached the level of the second-step Saint King."

"Swallowing seven kinds of holy fruits has increased my number of holy rules by nearly 4,000. Breaking through to the second-step Saint King level is not a very normal thing?"

Mu Lingxi slowly stood up and walked out of the stone house. A ball of extremely cold and dark ice energy escaped from her palm, and she waved her arm behind her.

"Chichi."

The extremely cold and dark ice energy fell into the stone house, and in an instant, the stone house was frozen in a small iceberg. As she pinched her five fingers, the iceberg and the stone house exploded into fist-sized pieces.

Mu Lingxi stared at the heavy sword stuck in the ground, with a strange look in her eyes, and said: "This is a three-ray ten thousand pattern holy weapon-level war sword. The material is very special and should be extremely heavy."

Zhang Ruochen grabbed the heavy sword with one hand, shrunk it to the size of a dagger, put it into his sleeve, and said: "It is not good to expose your identity on the Conferred God Platform, it is easy to provoke those enemies. For the time being, use this heavy sword to replace Shen Yuan. I have tamed its sword spirit just now, and I can use it at will."

Next, Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi continued to search in the Outer South Garden, heading to the area that had not been reached before, hoping to pick more holy fruits.

Outer South Garden is very vast, and it takes more than 300 miles to reach the edge in one direction.

In this area, there are a large number of ruins, canyons, cliffs, ancient forests..., and the holy trees grow in places with very dangerous environments, with various dangers.

However, because there were many cultivators participating in the Conferred God Platform Conference, and several hours had passed, when Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi arrived at the dangerous places where the holy trees grew, they found that the holy fruits on most of the holy trees had been picked clean.

This was a fight. Whoever was stronger and faster could pick more holy fruits.

After spending a whole hour, the two of them harvested very little.

"Except for the area above the white bone slope, we have searched almost the entire Outer South Garden. Even if there are still some holy trees hidden in illusions or formations, it will definitely take a lot of time to find them. Why not go to the Outer East Garden to dig for holy flowers and holy herbs first?" Mu Lingxi suggested.

The venue of the Conferred God Platform Conference was divided into ten parks:

Outer Four Parks, Inner Four Parks, Central Bihuang Park, and Free Trade Park.

According to the rules, all cultivators in the big worlds ranked after the thousandth place in the "Myriad Worlds Merit List", except for the world leaders, can only stay in the Outer Four Parks.

The cultivators who passed the qualification test and entered the Conferred God Platform can only stay in the Outer Four Gardens.

Of course, the cultivators of the 1,000th ranked world can also seize various treasures in the Outer Four Gardens. This is the advantage of the strong world, and the cultivators of other worlds can only be jealous.

Everywhere, it is the law of the jungle, and the Conferred God Platform Conference is no exception.

Even in the Outer Four Gardens, the distribution of treasures is different.

The Outer South Garden mainly grows various sacred trees.

In the Waidong Garden, various exotic flowers and plants grow, among which the main one is the Ten Thousand Years Holy Medicine.

In the Outer North Garden, there are various holy springs.

The outer west garden is an ancient mine that can dig out sacred stones and various sacred jades.

In the Outer South Garden, the only area that has not yet been explored is located above the Bone Slope. It is pitch black there. From a distance, it looks like thick black ink is surging, and it is impossible to explore it even with mental strength.

Many monks stood on the periphery and watched, showing hesitant expressions.

Before they attended the Conferred God Platform Conference, their elders warned them that the area was quite dangerous and they must not break into it. More than one creature would die in every conference.

The reason for hesitation is because their elders have said that the area is quite vast, much larger than the entire Outer South Park. There have been some powerful and unlucky people who have entered that area. , came out alive and brought back a large amount of holy fruits. Some of these holy fruits are even more valuable than the treasures in the inner four courtyards.

Since they cannot enter the inner four courtyards, this area has become a place for them to seize great opportunities.

However, there is only one life, and no one dares to take risks easily.

Feng Yan had talked about that area. At that time, his face was quite solemn, as if he was very scared. He warned Zhang Ruochen many times not to take risks. There were once divine disciples of the Eight-Step Saint King realm who died in it.

Therefore, although Zhang Ruochen was quite curious about the place, he suppressed his curiosity and did not go there. Instead, he and Mu Lingxi rushed to the Outer East Garden.

There is a river more than 20 meters wide between Wainan Garden and Waidong Garden.

What flows in the river is not water, but a white holy spring. On the river, there is a layer of light white holy mist, which makes the two sides of the river look like a fairyland.

Near the river, there are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, most of which are hundreds of years old, and some of them are even thousands of years old.

Of course, spiritual flowers and spiritual herbs of this level have no effect on Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi, and they look down upon them at all.

Mu Lingxi sighed: "If the holy spring in the river is discovered by monks below half a saint, they will definitely collect it like crazy. However, it is of no use to us."

Zhang Ruochen said: "These holy springs are of no use to us, but they can produce holy flowers and holy grasses. If we search upstream along the river, we may be able to find some precious ten thousand-year holy medicines."

Some of these precious ten-thousand-year holy medicines can also enhance the cultivation level of the Holy King.

Mu Lingxi nodded, unfolded a pair of phoenix wings, and flew out first.

Zhang Ruochen took a mysterious step and walked on the shore. He seemed to be very slow, but his speed was not as fast as Mu Lingxi's.

The exotic flowers and plants on both sides of the river have been searched for more than once by other monks, but they cannot find the Ten Thousand Years Holy Medicine. Elixirs that are more than three thousand years old are very rare.

After walking about seven or eight miles upstream, Zhang Ruochen suddenly stopped, as if he had discovered something, and stared at the surface of the river.

In the center of the river, there is a small whirlpool.

Just now, Zhang Ruochen relied on his strong mental power to sense a strange wave coming from underneath the whirlpool.

The fluctuation only appeared for a moment and then disappeared again. He used his mental power to detect it again, but could not detect anything strange, which made Zhang Ruochen wonder whether his perception was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Lingxi flew over from the opposite side of the river, landed next to Zhang Ruochen, and stared at the whirlpool.

"It seems like something extraordinary has been discovered."

Zhang Ruochen took out the Mercury Gourd, punched it out, floated it over the river, and said softly: "Take it."

Suddenly, a powerful suction force erupted from the mouth of the gourd, sucking the holy spring in the river into the gourd. The water level of the river quickly became shallow. After a while, the river stopped flowing, revealing a dark purple river bed.

Zhang Ruochen took a closer look and saw that there was a cave on the river bed. He didn't know where it led. The diameter of the cave entrance was less than two meters.

There is an amazing medicinal fragrance that permeates the cave.

Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi looked happy at the same time and were about to enter the cave to explore immediately.

However, at this moment, there were several sounds of wind breaking in the distance, and a somewhat familiar voice sounded: "Such a strong medicinal fragrance. Could it be that this place is an ancient holy medicine that is 100,000 years old?"

The next moment, five figures with white angel wings appeared in the sight of Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi. They were all strong men at the level of holy kings. One of them was Lance, who claimed to be Shang Ziyan's cousin. white.
