Chapter 2181: The Completed Saint Kinghood Cultivation

Zhang Ruochen put aside his distracting thoughts and sat down cross-legged and he seized the time to comprehend the Path. He didn’t want to miss the great opportunity of the Fane of Truth no matter what.

However, it wasn’t easy to complete the cultivation of the Saint Kinghood as it entails great danger.

Many geniuses tried to break through the completion of the Saint Kinghood in the past. However, they all ended up in a miserable state. Some of their cultivation fell back, and some died from it.

As time went by, fewer and fewer people took this route, and the completion of the Saint Kinghood became nothing but a legend.

If not, Yin Yuanchen wouldn’t be so shocked previously when he saw Yan Wushen’s breakthrough.

A peerless genius like Yan Wushen who could only be born in an era would have to walk on an extremely dangerous path and spend nearly a thousand years to reach the completion of the Saint Kinghood. The difficulty of this could be seen clearly.

Under normal circumstances, when one’s cultivation reached the Path’s Anterior realm, the number of Precepts would reach 30 million. After that, the difficulty of cultivating the Precepts would gradually increase. Those who could reach more than 90 million were extremely rare.

The more Precepts one had, the harder it was to control them. The slightest carelessness could break the balance and hurt oneself.

Zhang Ruochen’s main issue now was his cultivation and body had reached the limit. It was easy for him to break through to the Supreme Saint realm.

There were only tens of thousands of Precepts left. Zhang Ruochen chose to cultivate them selectively. He decided to focus on the three Paths of the Ancients, three Paths of Supreme Saints, and the Path of Five-Element. Of course, it includes various Paths related to them.

There was a saying that time flies when you cultivate. Especially when one was completely immersed in cultivation, one couldn’t feel the passage of time.

Zhang Ruochen shook violently suddenly. His blood flow became unstable and caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

“I was too hasty. The further I go, the more I need to be careful,” Zhang Ruochen said in a low voice.

He wanted to break through the shackles in one go, but it was obvious he thought everything was too simple. That was how he tasted the painful consequence.

The closer he was to the completion of the Saint Kinghood, the more cautious he had to be in cultivating each Precept. It was important to know that one wrong move and things could go wrong. The details were the key to success or failure.

Zhang Ruochen was forced to stop cultivating temporarily. He circulated the Empyrean Emperor Ming’s Scripture and absorbed the essence of the Sacred Seven-star Lingzhi’s Sun Leaf to heal his injuries. At the same time, he thought about how to cultivate next.

After some time, Zhang Ruochen completely healed his injuries and returned to his peak condition.

My advantage is that with six Saint Aspects, I can control the Precepts more easily than ordinary people and Yan Wushen should be the same as me.

But at the same time, the six Saint Aspects have separated the Precepts into individuals. Each of them is in charge of their affairs. It’s much more difficult to maintain perfect harmony and absolute balance.

Fortunately, I created the Heavenly Stream and connected the six Saint Aspects. Otherwise, it would be troublesome now.’

Zhang Ruochen analyzed his situation seriously after the healing.

Only by fully understanding his situation could Zhang Ruochen find the crux of the problem and solve it in a targeted way.

Maybe I can use the Realm-frame of Truth to suppress myself,’ Zhang Ruochen thought.

Zhang Ruochen was unsure whether this method was feasible, but it was still a method that he could try.

Zhang Ruochen immediately took action. Nearly a million Precept of Truth, along with the majestic Five-element Chaotic Qi, surged from his body. They interweaved with each other and quickly formed a hazy chaotic world.

Buzz

An invisible wave appeared as Zhang Ruochen’s Realm-frame of Truth resonated with the Mountain of Truth.

A vast starry sky shone above the Mountain of Truth. There were billions of stars in it. Each star was formed from strange words and shone with boundless saint light.

At the edge of the starry sky, there was endless chaos. It was inexplicably expanding.

Although Zhang Ruochen had successfully condensed the Realm-frame of Truth at the foot of the mountain. He had finally used it and made it fully manifest now.

Chaos contained everything and had infinite possibilities. Thus, the Realm-frame of Truth that Zhang Ruochen had condensed was also the same. It could evolve and transform continuously. No one could be sure what it would eventually look like.

On the top of the mountain, the tall figure reappeared. The tall figure looked up at the stars in the sky and was surprised by what he had seen. ‘It changes all the time. What a special Realm-frame of Truth. Could it transform into the ‘Boundless Universe’ in the future?’ the tall figure thought.

Once a cultivator’s Realm-frame of Truth was formed, it would take shape under normal circumstances.

Take the ‘Lands Down Below’ formed by Archangel Michael as an example. No matter how much his Path of Truth improved in the future and how strong his cultivation became, or even if he became a god, his Realm-frame of Truth would still be the ‘Lands Down Below’ form. It wouldn’t become the “Shoreless Star Ocean”.

From the tall figure’s point of view, Zhang Ruochen’s Realm-frame of Truth should be the same as the ‘Shoreless Star Ocean’. However, it seemed that there was still room for growth and it was not fully formed yet.

The reason could only be that Zhang Ruochen did not use the secret method of the Fane of Truth to form the Realm-frame of Truth. He relied on his exploration instead.

However, this method of forming the Realm-frame of Truth was unperfect. Even if he taught others the method, it would be difficult for them to imitate.

“It’s a good idea to use the Realm-frame of Truth to suppress oneself. I hope this little guy can succeed. Otherwise, it might take another Yuanhui Tribulation,” the tall figure said softly.

If it were not for his talent, the tall figure wouldn’t provide Zhang Ruochen with Godstones, even though those dozens of Godstones were not very valuable in her eyes.

Zhang Ruochen had been given the opportunity. Whether he could seize it or not, it all depends on his ability.

Zhang Ruochen’s mind was completely immersed in the Divine Light Sea of Qi and he didn’t notice the abnormality in the sky. He tried his best to condense new Precepts on his own.

The Realm-frame of Truth was indeed extraordinary. It suppressed the Heavenly Stream and made it extremely stable. Dozens of Precepts were added in succession, and there was no big movement.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen was not careless. He mobilized all his spiritual power and carefully observed the situation of the Heavenly Stream. He did his best to make the structure of the Precepts perfect.

Later, Zhang Ruochen used the Profound Spatial Dimension and combined it with the Realm-frame of Truth.

He did not forget anything that could be helpful to cultivate and use treasures like the Secret Tome of Time and Space, the Zangshan Demonic Mirror, and the Golden Sun of Destruction.

Even so, Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation still didn’t go smoothly. He vomited blood many times and suffered the backlash of some kind of Precept power. There were even two times when his sea of Qi had cracked and was almost destroyed.

If the Sacred Seven-star Lingzhi’s Sun Leaf didn’t contain magical power and kept healing his injured body, he might have already suffered injuries from the Paths and ruined his future.

Boom

A powerful aura surged from Zhang Ruochen’s body.

An extremely tall and mighty phantom of a divine demon appeared. Under his feet was a vast hell and Evil Aura kept emerging. Countless evil spirits were roaring inside, but they were suppressed by it and couldn’t break free.

I didn’t expect to take this opportunity to successfully cultivate the third level of the Incarceration of Divine Demon. I’ve reached the level of the Neverwither Saint Technique.’ Zhang Ruochen was delighted.

Ever since Zhang Ruochen obtained the Incarceration of Divine Demon, he’d started to comprehend and cultivate it. But before that, he’d only cultivated the second level, which meant he’d reached the mid-level. It didn’t mean much to him, so he’d never used it in battle.

Until now, he had finally cultivated the third level as he wished. Its power was comparable to the twelfth move of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm Strike and the eleventh level of the Luoshui Fist Technique.

Zhang Ruochen cultivated the divine technique at this time mainly because he felt that this technique could help him suppress the Precepts in the Heavenly Stream.

It turned out that the suppression effect was indeed very effective.

Although Zhang Ruochen didn’t cultivate the demonic techniques, he could use the Five-element Chaotic Qi to perform the Incarceration of Divine Demon. It was also powerful and not weaker than the Demonic Apocalyptic Qi.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen’s body trembled. Many cracks appeared on the surface of his body. He’s like a broken porcelain bottle, and his saint blood kept seeping out.

Then, an extremely powerful force burst out from his body as if it was tearing his body apart.

Puff

Zhang Ruochen spat out blood and almost fell to the ground.

He took out a bottle of Spring of Life and gulped down all of it. After that, Zhang Ruochen activated the Empyrean Emperor Ming’s Scripture to heal himself.

After a long time, Zhang Ruochen’s breathing gradually stabilized. He finally resolved the danger of exploding his body. At the same time, the cracks on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“It’s very dangerous to break through to the completion of the Saint Kinghood. No wonder few people have dared to try it since the Middle Ages.” Zhang Ruochen’s eyes showed a hint of seriousness.

It was really dangerous just now and he had almost lost control of his power. His body would be destroyed, even if he could save his Saint Soul.

Fortunately, he stopped in time and drank a large amount of the Spring of Life, which saved him from danger.

“I must continue. If I don’t reach the completion of the Saint Kinghood, how can I fight with Yan Wushen? How can I save Kunlun?” Zhang Ruochen’s eyes showed determination.

Since Yan Wushen could succeed, how could Zhang Ruochen not?

Zhang Ruochen adjusted his state again and began to break through once more.

Zhang Ruochen kept trying and experiencing dangers again and again, but he never gave up.

He knew that if he retreated now, there would be a huge flaw in his state of mind and he would never be able to complete it.

Crack

Zhang Ruochen’s body was full of cracks once again. The saint blood soaked through his clothes and turned him into a bloody man.

The situation was also in a mess in the Divine Light Sea of Qi. The Heavenly Stream seemed to be unstable. As if it could collapse at any time, and the six Saint Aspects were affected.

Even if the Heavenly Stream wasn’t destroyed, many of the Precepts would be erased and the foundation of the Path would be damaged if this continued.

However, Zhang Ruochen didn’t stop this time. He still chose to break through.

“Success or failure depends on this. God-Defiance Stele, suppress it.”

Zhang Ruochen roared in his heart.

An ancient remnant stele appeared out of thin air in the Divine Light Sea of Qi, hovering above the Heavenly Stream.

The invisible power spread and the entire Divine Light Sea of Qi seemed to fall into a state of stillness. The Heavenly Stream, which was on the verge of collapse, calmed down.

Taking this opportunity, Zhang Ruochen concentrated all his strength in the Heavenly Stream to condense new Precepts.

Rumble

A vast river surged out of Zhang Ruochen’s body. It was completely composed of Precepts.

There were 100 million Precepts in this river. Each Precept was thick and solid.

As soon as it appeared, the Precepts and Saint Qi of heaven and earth gathered like stars surrounding the Moon.

Zhang Ruochen was covered in blood. He looked scary, but he was smiling. He couldn’t hide his joy.

“I’ve succeeded. I’ve been injured dozens of times in nineteen years, and it’s all worth it.” Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were filled with excitement.

The tall figure stood at the top of the mountain and looked down at Zhang Ruochen, “I didn’t expect him to succeed in 20 years,” she said. “He even cultivated eleven types of Path to completion. Even in ancient times, he’s still amazing.”

Zhang Ruochen had completed the Saint Kinghood’s cultivation, and the tall figure was the only witness.

If this information was not leaked, no one would know his secret before Zhang Ruochen made his move. This was also a trump card.

Zhang Ruochen had completed many Paths’ cultivation. They were the Path of Time, Path of Dimension, Path of Truth, Path of Swordsmanship, Path of Fist, Path of Palm, and Path of Five-element. Including three Path of the Ancients and eight Path of Supreme Saint. If it was spread out, no one would believe it.

Zhang Ruochen had undoubtedly surpassed Yan Wushen in the number of Paths that he had cultivated completely.

In the vast river of Precepts, two invisible vortexes rotated slowly. Even on the Mountain of Truth, it still twisted a small area of time and space, as if it was connected to the future.

Millions of Precepts of Truth condensed into a thick book that carried all the truth in the world. It contained endless knowledge and explained the mysteries of the universe.

The Precepts of Swordsmanship turned into a saint sword, the Precepts of Fist turned into a surging river, and the Precepts of Palm turned into a dragon and an elephant. All in the form of a Saint Aspect.

As for the five million Precepts of Five-Element, they interweaved with each other and created a Five-Element Heaven Plate. It rotated slowly and evolved into various mysteries of the five elements that complemented and countered each other.

“There seemed to be a very special power fluctuation just now. It feels familiar. It seems that Zhang Ruochen has many secrets,” the tall figure thought.

If Zhang Ruochen had heard this, he would have reacted immediately. The power fluctuation sensed by the tall figure was the God-Defiance Stele.

Fortunately, he only let the God-Defiance Stele appear for a moment and tried his best to hide its aura. He put it away as soon as he made the breakthrough. Otherwise, it would have been exposed by now.

The God-Defiance Stele was too special. Once it was exposed, it would bring him great trouble. Even deities would attack him without any regard for the face.

Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath. He circulated his techniques and pulled all the Precepts back into him.

Now, he could be considered to be standing at the pinnacles of the Saint Kinghood. His strength had reached the limit. If he wanted to improve further, he would have to break through to the Supreme Saint realm.
