Chapter 820: Two Clouds of the Qi of Life

It was worth mentioning that the Elephant-swallowing Rabbit and monster ape had refined the Half-Saint Light. They both entered the Half-Saint Realm.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t surprised by this at all.

After all, they’d stayed in the scroll world this entire time and had ten times more time to cultivate. In addition, there were countless spiritual medicines in the scroll world. By ingesting them, even a pig could make amazing achievements.

After Blackie completed the inscription, it wrapped the Half-Saint’s corpse with Holy Qi and put it inside the Cuprite Tripod. It started refining.

Zhang Ruochen laughed. “Are you trying to create a Half-Saint battle corpse army?”

Blackie shot a scornful glance at Zhang Ruochen. “I now have 144 Half-Saint corpses. If I turn them all into battle corpses, I can create four battalions of 36 corpses each.”

Then Zhang Ruochen continued, “If you use Xuanwu divine blood to create the battle corpses, they should be more powerful than average ones, right?”

Blackie nodded. “The first 34 battle corpses that I made were all regular ones. Their combat abilities were equal to that of a Monk in the beginning of the first level Half-Saint Realm.

“Afterward, I used Xuanwu divine blood once. The battle corpses that I created were equal to a Monk in the middle of the first level. Some more powerful corpses were able to combat a Monk in the peak of the first level. Their defensive abilities were even more terrifying. They were equal to a second level Half-Saint.”

They were all Half-Saint corpses, but there were big differences too.

For example, a first level and a ninth level Half-Saint’s corpses were essentially on two different levels. After being turned into battle corpses, their combat abilities would naturally be different as well.

Zhang Ruochen was slightly shocked. “There’s that big of a difference?”

“I was quite surprised too, so I decided to spend a bit more and used the Xuanwu divine blood to make battle corpses.” Blackie smiled. “I was afraid you would be sad.”

After all, a single drop of Xuanwu divine blood was worth a whole city’s wealth. Creating a battle corpse required a great amount of Xuanwu divine blood. It was possible that turning 144 Half-Saint corpses into battle corpses would use up more than half of the divine blood.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t feel bad about the cost though. One hundred and forty-four Half-Saint battle corpses was a big battle force. It was enough to clear out a saint sect.

Of course, that was under conditions that no Saint of the sect would attack. Otherwise, no amount of battle corpses would be enough to stop a Saint.

Blackie continued, “If there’s enough time, I also want to use a Blue Fire Xuanwu’s shell and make them all a set of armor. It’s best if I can give them each a saint weapon. That’s the only way for them to be able to destroy everything easily.”

“One hundred forty-four saint weapons? You think saint weapons are cabbages? Even a middle age clan’s treasury won’t have that many saint weapons. Unless…” Zhang Ruochen wiped his smile away and fell silent.

“Unless what?” Blackie asked.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “Nothing,” he said.

Just then, he thought of the Sacred Central Empire’s national treasury. There were many divine weapons stored there. Even saint weapons were numerous. It was the wealth that had been accumulated by the Zhang family since the ancient times.

Unfortunately, most of the wealth was probably in the hands of Chi Yao now. What point was there in mentioning it now?

“How long do you need to create all the battle corpses?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“At least three months,” Blackie said seriously, raising three claws.

Zhang Ruochen furrowed his brow. “Three months in the scroll world is nine days outside. Nine days is enough for many things to happen. How about this? You stay here and create battle corpses while I go search the Ghost God Valley.”

Mu Lingxi was sitting on a rock in the near distance. She held the Death Zen Buddhist Way book and was focused on reading. She was also researching how to control battle corpses.

Hearing Zhang Ruochen’s words, she closed the book and stood up. “I’m going with you,” she said.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and shook his head. “Senior Sister Duanmu, you should first study the Death Zen Buddhist Way. It’s an evil cultivation method, but there’s a lot you can learn from it. It will help your cultivation too.”

“You think my cultivation is too low and I’ll hold you back? Ha, do you want to fight?”

Mu Lingxi put her hands together. Then beams of Holy Qi flooded out of her hands, flying to 36 Half-Saint battle corpses. Dense inscriptions appeared on the battle corpses. They formed 36 huge Xuanwu apparitions that stood behind her.

Each Half-Saint battle corpse was like a battle formation. The 36 corpses put together was an even bigger battle formation. Mu Lingxi was the eye of this formation. She gathered all the power of the 36 Half-Saint battle corpses.

In an instant, the aura that burst from Mu Lingxi’s body was equal to a third level Half-Saint. The powerful gust of Battle Qi swept over hundreds of miles. It changed the sky and even the Spiritual Qi trembled violently.

Zhang Ruochen could see that it was still hard for Mu Lingxi to control the 36 battle corpses. Sweat beaded on her forehead. However, she persisted to prove her abilities.

Seeing how she could start grasping the Death Zen Buddhist Way in such a short time, it was clear that Mu Lingxi’s comprehension was very strong. Even the nine Heirs together couldn’t beat her.

However, she couldn’t last for more than three breaths. She lost control of the 36 Half-Saint battle corpses.

“Darn it!” Mu Lingxi stomped her feet, unsatisfied.

“Senior Sister Duanmu, I’m only going to investigate the Ghost God Valley this time,” Zhang Ruochen said. “I won’t charge into it. By the time I finish investigating, you probably will have grasped the Death Zen Buddhist Way entirely. By then, I’ll take you into Ghost God Valley.”

Mu Lingxi fluttered her lashes. “Really?”

“I keep my promises.” Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were very serious. No one who saw his eyes would doubt his words.

“Okay!” Mu Lingxi extended a slender finger and pointed at Zhang Ruochen’s chest. Pursing her lips, she threatened, “If you dare lie to me, I’ll tell Sister Yanchen after leaving the netherworld. She’ll take care of you.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly. He didn’t take the threat too seriously.

He entered the Blue Fire Xuanwu’s body and took some of the Evil Death Qi to create six black pearls.

Evil Death Qi was very horrible. In the past, even the Saint Lady had fallen victim to it and almost died by the hands of a Half-Saint.

Zhang Ruochen made these six pearls of Evil Death Qi just in case. They weren’t very effective against dead souls, but they could be very helpful against powerful human Monks or savage beasts.

He carefully put the six Evil Death Qi pearls away and turned to Blackie. “I told you to keep an eye on Ghost King Bloodmoon. Do you know where she is now?”

Blackie froze and finally looked up. Its eyes rolled around and it said, “I forgot!”

Zhang Ruochen was instantly speechless. He really wanted to beat up this fat cat. As soon as he thought it was acting seriously, it would do something unreliable.

“Don’t worry. We’re in the scroll world. No matter how high her cultivation is, she can’t do much.” Blackie was very confident. It patted its stomach with its claws and said casually, “Let me check where she is now.”

Blackie closed its eyes and thought for a moment. “Right now, she should be…getting close to the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.”

“What? That’s not good.”

Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed. He immediately used a technique and rushed over to the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.

He wasn’t worried that Ghost King Bloodmoon would chop down the tree. After all, even though it was a sapling, she still couldn’t cut it with her cultivation.

He was more worried about Sword Saint Xuanji’s body. After all, a few remnants of Sword Saint Xuanji’s soul were still in his body. Who knew if Ghost King Bloodmoon would extract the remnants to boost her cultivation?

When Zhang Ruochen arrived beside Sword Saint Xuanji’s body, he didn’t see Ghost King Bloodmoon and let out a relieved sigh.

That Blackie is so unreliable. I have to carefully store Master’s body somewhere.

Zhang Ruochen planned to put his Master’s body in his spatial ring. But just as he bent down, he discovered with a shock that the injury on Sword Saint Xuanji’s chest had healed completely.

How could a corpse’s injury heal by itself?

How is this possible?

Zhang Ruochen felt his scalp go numb as his heartbeat sped up 100 times. He immediately reached out and placed his hand on Sword Saint Xuanji’s wrist. It was still icy, devoid of any signs of life.

A dead body’s injury can’t heal for no reason.

Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged on the ground. He activated the Eye of the Deity Print. He finally saw a strange phenomenon that he couldn’t see with his naked eye.

There were two clouds of Life Qi in the surrounding air. They flowed in from two different directions and continuously flowed into the spot between Sword Saint Xuanji’s eyebrows.

These two gusts of Qi came from the Divine Sky-connecting Tree and the Sun-moon Crystal Coffin.

The Divine Sky-connecting Tree had already created intelligence. It was very normal for it to create Life Qi as well. When the Life Qi of the tree thickened to a certain point, it would turn into liquid and finally become the new Spring of Life.

What truly shocked Zhang Ruochen was the Sun-moon Crystal Coffin. Why was it releasing Life Qi too?

He immediately walked over to the coffin. Touching the sides of the coffin softly, he used the Eye of the Deity Print and looked inside.

Whoosh—

The Eye of the Deity Print was even more amazing than the Sky Eye. It passed through the walls and landed on the female corpse within. Zhang Ruochen instantly saw an extremely shocking scene.

“Ghost King Bloodmoon!” Zhang Ruochen gasped in shock.

The female corpse inside the coffin was Ghost King Bloodmoon.

No, more specifically, this was a female corpse that looked identical to Ghost King Bloodmoon. However, Ghost King Bloodmoon and the corpse were, respectively, deathly and filled with vitality.

This was extremely strange.
