God Emperor
chapter-734

It was profitable for the Divine Dragon half-human Clan. The value of a Divine Dragon Bone was absolutely far greater than this.

Elder Yinhai and Ao Xinyan from the Divine Dragon half-human Clan had not brought so much Divine Dragon's Blood and Dragon King's Blood.

On that day, Elder Yinhai immediately left Shentai City and returned to the Divine Dragon Half-human Clan to personally take Divine Dragon's Blood and Dragon King's Blood in order to exchange for the Divine Dragon Bone as soon as possible.

Ao Xinyan stayed and entered the Inner World of the Yin Yang Wooden Graph with Zhang Ruochen.

The Sacred Prime Tree grew in the center of the Inner World. With luxuriant foliage, it reached straight into the clouds. Like a green sea inlaid in the clouds, its leaves imbibed and exuded Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi all the time. As a result, the Spiritual Qi in the Scroll World became richer and richer.

Zhang Ruochen took out the Divine Dragon Bone and gave it to Ao Xinyan. "We still have one month before the Kunlun Heir's banquet. That is almost one year inside the Scroll World. With your ability, you should be able to refine the Divine Dragon Bone within a year."

Ao Xinyan bit her lips gently and said in surprise, "Are you going to give the Divine Dragon Bone to me now? Elder Yinhai hasn't brought over the Divine Dragon's Blood and the Dragon King's Blood yet."

"You're under my control, so I'm not worried that the Divine Dragon and Half-human Clan will default on their debt," Zhang Ruochen playfully said.

Ao Xinyan knew that Zhang Ruochen was kidding, so she took the Divine Dragon Bone calmly.

"Howl!"

As she touched the Divine Dragon Bone, a deep dragon's roar rang from the bone. Like a waking ancient Divine Dragon, it sent forth earthshaking power.

Soon, wisps of strong dragon Qi flew out from the bone to form a giant dragon Qi vortex, enveloping Ao Xinyan in the center.

Tens of thousands of dragon Qi flew in the air and continuously entered her body.

Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen had great control in the Scroll World, so he could withstand the dragging force of the dragon Qi vortex. Otherwise, he would have been caught up in the vortex and his body would have been torn into pieces by the dragon Qi.

Blackie put its claws behind its back, strutted with its cat walk, and stared at the huge dragon Qi vortex sweeping across an area of a dozen miles. "I haven't misjudged her. Ao Xinyan's physical quality is terrific. If she can refine the Divine Dragon Bone, she will go further on to the Divine Dragon Body."

Zhang Ruochen nodded. The energy contained in the Divine Dragon Bone was indeed terrifying. The aura it emitted was daunting, like the Divine Dragon's presence.

Dragon Three's physical quality was inferior to Ao Xinyan's. He had not completely refined the Divine Dragon Bone, yet he could have overtaken Saintly Beings.

If Ao Xinyan could completely refine the Divine Dragon Bone, she could refine the Qi of Divine Dragon, with her Divine Dragon Half-human Clan exercises. Then, she might reach a surprising realm.

At the very least, Dragon Three would be no match for her.

Blackie said, "Ao Xinyan and Orange Star Emissary are key talents to be nurtured. Since Ao Xinyan has gone ahead in cultivation, I should bring Orange Star Emissary to the Scroll World and urge her to speed up practicing."

Zhang Ruochen shook his head as he said, "Orange Star Emissary now has a special status. There must be Half-Saints from the Black Market beside her to secretly protect her. We'd better not contact her so as to avoid exposing her identity.

"Moreover, the Murong family is an Aristocratic Family in the Middle Age with a profound background. Since Orange Star Emissary has planned to fight for the position of young master of the Black Market Excellence Hall, how can the Murong family not take out some precious resources to nurture her?"

Monks must have experienced an earthshaking change to reach the Fish-Dragon Realm.

Some transformed into a dragon.

Some transformed into fish.

Aristocratic Families in the Middle Age would never be mean in nurturing outstanding descendants. They would spend a lot of resources on the descendants. Even if the Murong family was not as prosperous as it was 800 years ago, it should not be difficult for them to take out one or two drops of divine blood.

The key was to see if Orange Star Emissary could refine divine blood.

"The Ming Emperor Palace must have stored divine blood and countless precious treasures in those years. Have those treasures been taken away by Chi Yao or collected by Ming Hall?" Zhang Ruochen sighed gently.

The prosperous Sacred Central Empire had perished, after all. Mountains and rivers had changed hands. The things were still there, but the people were no longer the same.

Somehow, Zhang Ruochen suddenly missed the emperor palace he used to live in and those people. He secretly decided that he would go to the Central Region once the Sword Technique Conference ended.

He really wanted to know what the Ming Emperor Palace looked like now.

He wondered who lived in the palace.

It seemed that Blackie wanted to get away from the Scroll World. It rolled its eyes as it said, "Let's bring Mu Lingxi to the Scroll World to practice, shall we?"

Zhang Ruochen glanced at Blackie and shook his head. "Do you think only I have a space-time treasure? When Saint Monk Xumi was alive, he refined a lot of space-time treasures. As far as I know, the demonic sect has a space-time treasure called the Primordial Universe Bead.

"It is said that there is a Primordial World inside the Primordial Universe Bead. If a monk practices there for seven days, only one day passes in the external world.

"Now that the demonic sect has operated for tens of thousands of years, there are abundant resources in the Primordial World that have become a Holy Land for practice. Even if it can't hold a candle to the Scroll World containing the Sacred Prime Tree, it is quite similar.

"Given her status, Senior Sister Apprentice Duanmu must have opportunities to enter the Primordial Universe Bead to practice.

"Furthermore, there must be Half-Saints from the Demonic Sect beside her to secretly protect her. If she wants to see us, she will definitely contact us. If we take the initiative to contact her, it will cause harm to her."

Zhang Ruochen saw Blackie's eyes keep rolling, so he could guess what it was thinking. He said with a smile, "I know that you want to catch the Devil Rat. I guarantee that you will have a chance."

He thought again before he continued speaking. "If you really want to find Senior Sister Apprentice Duanmu, I won't stop you, but you must promise me that you'll protect her and follow her word."

When he fought Snake Two at the Coliseum the previous day, Zhang Ruochen had discovered that Captain Rat was always focused on Mu Lingxi. The people in the Demonic Sect relied on their strength in order to be heard. With her current cultivation, Mu Lingxi was surely inferior to Captain Rat.

Mu Lingxi had always been close to Blackie. If it could stay beside her, Blackie might be able to help her at a critical time.

Blackie was very willing, immediately agreeing to his request.

After sending Blackie out of the Scroll World, Zhang Ruochen went back to the Sacred Prime Tree and began to practice.

There was going to be a fierce battle at the Kunlun Heir's banquet. He had to do his best to improve his cultivation beforehand.

Before anything else, Zhang Ruochen planned to digest Qi Hong's knowledge and memory.

He had refined Qi Hong's Half-Saint's Light in the Deceased God Cemetery. Due to limited time, he had merely absorbed the Holy Qi but had not digested the Half-Saint's knowledge and memory.

Relatively speaking, a Half-Saint's hundred years of knowledge and memories were more precious.

At this moment, Qi Hong's knowledge and memories were sealed in the Qi Sea.

"Swoosh!"

When Zhang Ruochen released the seal, lots of memories surged up his Martial Soul through the Vessel of Spirit, ready to integrate with his own memories.

Qi Hong's memory was enormous like a huge flood.

Zhang Ruochen's memory was relatively weak like a lake.

If Qi Hong's "memory flood" wantonly flew into Zhang Ruochen's "memory lake," it would have a terrible impact on Zhang Ruochen's memory. In this case, it would create a great disturbance for his practice in the Holy Road.

Therefore, Zhang Ruochen only selected some valuable things from Qi Hong's memories and erased all insignificant memories.

In the end, only 1% of Qi Hong's memories were preserved.

Even so, Zhang Ruochen spent a month going over Qi Hong's memories in his mind and remembering them.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ruochen came to know many secrets through Qi Hong's memories.

These were the secrets of the Qis, the Demonic Sect, and Qi Hong himself.

"Unexpectedly, the Demonic Sect is cooperating with the Four Symbols Sect to seize the Sword Pavilion."

Based on Qi Hong's memories, Zhang Ruochen learned that a treasure of the Demonic Sect appeared to be sealed in the Sword Pavilion.

Just because of this, the Demonic Sect agreed to cooperate with the Four Symbols Sect, trying to secretly help the Four Symbols Sect win in the Sword Technique Conference. If the Four Symbols Sect got the Sword Pavilion, the Demonic Sect could get the treasure back.

It was a serious matter involving the interests of the Yin and Yang Sect, the Demonic Sect, and the Four Symbols Sect.

Zhang Ruochen was indebted to the Yin and Yang Sect because he was educated there.

He could not stand by and watch the Demonic Sect and the Four Symbols Sect seize the Sword Pavilion. During the Sword Technique Conference, he resolved to defeat all the sword practitioners of the Four Symbols Sect and protect the Sword Pavilion.

Zhang Ruochen then began to digest the knowledge in Qi Hong's memories.

Knowledge and memories were inseparable. There were parts that overlapped and there were parts that were separate.

A Half-Saint naturally had a large amount of knowledge.

If he could completely refine a Half-Saint's knowledge and turn it into his own knowledge, Zhang Ruochen's cognition of the Martial Arts, Tao of the sword, Holy Road, and the universe would reach a whole new level.

In addition, his fighting experience, understanding of human nature, and awareness of the entire Kunlun's Field would also ascend to a Half-Saint's level.

This was very dangerous.

If his will was not strong, he might be affected by Qi Hong's knowledge. This would affect his practice, and he would be doomed eternally. His achievements in the future would only reach Qi Hong's level at most.

Zhang Ruochen's goal was higher than the Half-Saint realm, so he had to be careful.
