“You really will return to the Blood God Sect?” Huang Yanchen’s voice sounded behind Zhang Ruochen.

“Yes.”

Huang Yanchen walked to Zhang Ruochen. She had a light fragrance. “The Hierarch has gone missing, so the Blood God Sect will definitely be in chaos. Those ambitious elders will want to take his position. The first person they must remove is you, the Deity who can inherit the position.”

“I know.” Zhang Ruochen chuckled. “But I have no choice. I must stay. If the Blood God Sect is controlled by the Immortal Vampires, Tiantai State will be in chaos. The entire central region will be in unrest.

“Back then, my father had led a group of human heroes and suffered great losses to drive the Immortal Vampires out. Now, my father is no longer here, but the Vampires have returned. I must do something, no matter what. Even if I can’t kill them all, I’ll still knock out their teeth.”

Huang Yanchen pursed her lips. “Since you made this decision, then I will do my best to help you.”

“Did you reach Qing Mo?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Huang Yanchen nodded. “I received the light communication rune from Qing Mo. They’ve returned to Kunlun’s Field and are hurrying over.”

Zhang Ruochen patted Huang Yanchen’s pretty shoulders. Smiling, he said, “Cultivate in peace in the scroll world. Try to get through the Third Trial.”

“I will definitely try my hardest to reach the Saint Realm and help you kill those infiltrators. I can’t let them ruin the central region.”

After Huang Yanchen went into isolation, Zhang Ruochen went to the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree. Sitting on the ground, he took out the Time and Space Secret Guide. He flipped to the page that recorded the third level Twelve Hour Sword Technique.

Twelve small figures in a circle were drawn on the silver paper.

Every two hours is a shichen. Each day has 12 shichen: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xin, and Hai. Each shichen has a respective sword technique.

When the Time Sword Technique reached the third level, it became more miraculous. It required very strong Spiritual Power, extraordinary comprehension abilities, and strong will to understand the sword technique’s subtleties.

Zhang Ruochen applied a bit of Spiritual Power on the image.

Whoosh—

The 12 figures seemed to come to life. They stood up on the paper and started practicing the sword like agile dancers.

When he’d fought against the Blood God Sect Hierarch’s saint soul body, Zhang Ruochen had already comprehended some of the facts of the Twelve Hour Sword Technique. Seeing the movements again, he was quickly immersed into it.

“Zi Sword.”

He closed his eyes. Drunk and obsessed, he performed the first move of the sword technique.

Slowly, the time within ten miles of Zhang Ruochen became disorderly. The sky darkened and cold wind blew as if they’d entered the zi hour.

“Chou Sword.”

The sword turned and the movements became larger. Wherever the sword passed, the time there sped up or slowed down unpredictably. From afar, the world below the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree changed drastically. Sometimes it was dark as night, sometimes it was brilliant with thousands of beams of sword light interconnecting. Even a Saint wouldn’t dare to approach it without caution.

After practicing the Twelve Hour Sword Technique three times in a row, Zhang Ruochen felt like he’d practiced for three days. He’d used up most of his Holy Qi and he was covered in sweat.

This uses up too much Holy Qi, he thought. Each move is like countless saint spells.

The Time Sword Technique was too advanced. Zhang Ruochen only grasped the surface of the Twelve Hour Sword Technique now. He was far from understanding it all.

I should’ve cultivated this in the third life of the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Map. If I can combine the memories of the third life with the Saintly Way, my understanding of the Twelve Hour Sword Technique can improve more.

Without further ado, Zhang Ruochen began acting. He undid the memory seal of the third life. The memories and knowledge flooded over like a tide.

In the third life, Zhang Ruochen had many enmities with Ling Feiyu.

In order to understand the Saintly Way, Zhang Ruochen had entered this life to cultivate. He became the strongest figure of the empire and had a great reputation. Countless cultivators respected and looked up to him.

Ling Feiyu was the top killer of the Demonic Way. Her ultimate goal was to kill Zhang Ruochen. Unfortunately, she never succeeded and was always defeated.

Their rivalry lasted for 100 years. Many things happened. Some of them awed Zhang Ruochen after he combined the memories.

So miraculous. It’s like it really did happen. I wonder what happened in the remaining four lives. Zhang Ruochen smiled.

For some reason, Zhang Ruochen already saw Ling Feiyu as a close friend. She taught him sword techniques and Zhang Ruochen had also acted as her teacher. She had saved him and he had saved her.

The two had gone through danger together but were also rivals. This kind of relationship was built up through time and experiences. It was very, very deep.

At that moment, Zhang Ruochen really wanted to bring a vat of wine and secretly climb onto the main platform of the Demonic Sect. He wanted to drink happily with her under the night sky and ivory moon, discussing the experiences of the third life. There were too many things he wanted to talk about.

He wondered how the high and mighty First Saintess of the Moon Worship Demonic Sect would view this relationship.

Would she see me as a lifelong friend too? Zhang Ruochen smiled.

In the end, he didn’t combine the memories of the remaining four lives. The memories from this life were already enough for him to digest for now.

He could only consider the fourth life after becoming a Spiritual Power Saint.

After combining the memories and understandings of the Saintly Way from the third life, Zhang Ruochen’s fist, palm, and sword technique and Spiritual Power all had different improvements.

Both the Seven-Apertures Blood Palm and Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm reached a more advanced level. They unleashed much stronger power.

For sword, he cultivated Sword Six to the fourth level. Of course, there was still a ways to go before completing it.

He also improved in Spiritual Power but didn’t reach level 50. He still wasn’t a Saint.

The memories and understandings of the third life didn’t create as dramatic of improvements as the first and second life. Indeed, the improvements in martial technique will keep decreasing in the later lives.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t disappointed though. The Twelve Hour Sword Technique at least had big improvements. It was now one of his most important hidden cards. If he used it, he could threaten some mid-level Saints.

After deepening his understanding of the Saintly Way, it would be easier to go through the Pre-Saint Trials too.

Now, I’m confident in completing the first trial.

Zhang Ruochen prepared to go through the trial and reach the Pre-Saint Realm.

Blackie rushed over a bit crazily and almost sent Zhang Ruochen to the ground. “Success! Success! I finally succeeded in creating a Saint level Blood Repression Rune. Haha!”

“You succeeded?”

Zhang Ruochen was overjoyed. He took the rune scroll in Blackie’s hand. Studying it, he realized it was right.

“Great. With this Blood Repression Rune, I’ll be able to repress even Immortal Vampire Saints.” Zhang Ruochen put the rune away and asked, “Can you make another one?”

“It’s already difficult to make one. Do you think it’s a piece of cake?” Blackie rolled its eyes.

“You used 2,000 drops of divine blood to create one Saint level Blood Repression Rune?” Zhang Ruochen couldn’t accept this. Wiping his smile off, his heart was chilled. “So you aren’t much better than me in runes! If I knew this, I would’ve gone to the Ancient Race of Prison Guardians and had the rune masters of the Shi Family help me produce it.”

“Even a rune master might not be better than me.” Blackie lowered its eyes. “Since I could produce this one, the following ones will be much easier. How about you give me 2,000 more drops of divine blood? I can make at least two Blood Repression Runes for you.”

One was indeed too few. If he met a powerful Immortal Vampire Saint, Zhang Ruochen might not be able to repress him. With two more runes, he would be more reassured.

He could always go to the Ancient Race of Prison Guardians after the Immortal Vampire crisis was settled.

Zhang Ruochen sighed. He took out 2,000 drops of divine blood and gave them to Blackie to mess around with.

Before he could go through the first trial, he received Zhao Shiqi’s message.

The Hierarch has gone missing and the sect is in chaos. Today, the elders will host a meeting to choose the substitute Hierarch. All Saints and Half-Saints will participate. Deity, if you receive this message, please hurry back to the Blood God Sect to prevent the infiltrator from becoming the substitute.

Seeing the information on this rune, Zhang Ruochen realized the severity of the issue. Without further hesitation, he rode a Beast King back to the Blood God Sect.

Since the Saints and Half-Saints will all be at the meeting, I can use this chance to try the techniques in the Vampire Secrets. I’ll see how many infiltrators there really are.

The Beast King he was riding was called Three-Headed Flood Dragon King. Blackie had tamed it and inscribed a rune inside it.

The beast had gone through two Pre-Saint Trials and was a strong figure on the Outer Rank. It was 600 meters long and shone with cold blue light.

It flew over the Blood God Sect’s territory, creating a huge commotion. Some of the disciples thought that it was an enemy attack and wanted to activate the defense formation.

“Don’t do it yet. Look at the Three-Headed Flood Dragon King’s back. Is that...the Deity?”

“Didn’t the Saintess say that the Deity might have already died in the Blue Dragon Void World when she returned?”

“It really is the Deity! He’s back, riding a flood dragon! That’s so powerful!”

...

Gu Linfeng had displayed extraordinary talent when he’d fought for the Deity position. He was still popular in the Blood God Sect. Many younger disciples viewed him as an idol. Many young girls viewed him as their dream lover. He was definitely a well-liked figure.

Gu Linfeng’s return caused an uproar. Of course, some cultivators were surprised. They immediately carved this news onto a communication rune and sent it out.

A while later, the important figures of the Blood God Sect were all informed of Gu Linfeng’s return.
