Kaboom!
 

A large amount of Holy Qi spewed out of the underground saintly meridian of Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land. It shot through the air and connected with the sky. Everywhere that the Holy Qi passed by, the formation runes would be activated, shining with brilliant light.
 

A moment later, nine layers of white clouds shrouded the Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land. It was like a nine-story tower falling to the ground and looked very magnificent.
 


Nine-Level Cloud Tower Formation.

 


The Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land actually has a formation saint master who laid down a grade eight formation. Who is this formation master? If he can give me pointers, I’ll definitely improve greatly in formations.

 


 

The cultivators outside the sacred land were all discussing this, finding it incredible.
 

After all, only someone who could lay down a grade eight formation could be known as a
formation saint master.

 

Each formation saint master had a respected status.
 

Not only would Saints and Saint Kings ask them for help. Sometimes, even top figures like Supreme Saints would ask for help from formation saint masters.
 

The Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land was only one of the dozen territories in Red Dragon Sacred Domain. It wasn’t that special, but it produced a Zhang Ruochen, so it was now a well-known land in the Shatuo Heavenly Domain. Many cultivators fought to join.
 

Now, it also had a formation saint master. It undoubtedly made the Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land even more famous.
 

Zhang Ruochen stood under the cliff and looked up.
Grade eight formation… Blackie, your attainments in formations are beyond my expectations.

 

Princess Luosha’s senior sister, Ji Hua, was also a formation saint master.
 

Ji Hua’s Thousand-star Formation had been a grade eight formation. It was extremely strong and almost wiped out the Saint army of the Shatuo Seven Fields.
 

This was why a formation saint master’s combat ability was terrifying.
 

Did Blackie have the same abilities as Ji Hua?
 

Blackie had a proud expression.
My Spiritual Power hasn’t recovered fully. Otherwise, I’d be able to do a grade nine formation too.

 

Zhang Ruochen knew that he shouldn’t praise it, because then it’ll get too cocky. So he said,
There are differences in the mightiness of grade eight formations too, right?

 


Of course,
Blackie said.
The more runes a formation has, and the more complex they are, the stronger the power. Even if they’re both grade eight formations, the power can be worlds away from each other if created by formation saint masters with different Spiritual Power.

 


What level is the Nine-Level Cloud Tower Formation among grade eight formations?
Zhang Ruochen wanted to be clearer.
 


The Nine-Level Cloud Tower Formation is obviously one of the best defensive grade eight formations. Merely the runes needed to create this can cover thousands of books and fill an entire library. A regular formation saint master can’t create it without studying for decades and experimenting countless times.

 

Blackie was even prouder.
 

Zhang Ruochen had some understanding of formations. He knew that building a high-level formation was more difficult than constructing a city.
 


But…

 

Blackie hesitated but still said honestly,
But my Nine-Level Cloud Tower Formation still has many flaws.

 


What do you mean?

 


Mainly, there are some abstruse formation runes that can only be carved with the help of special material.

 


So you didn’t carve those abstruse runes into the Nine-Level Cloud Tower Formation?
Zhang Ruochen asked.
 


Couldn’t help it. The material for the runes is too hard to find.

 

Blackie naturally wouldn’t tell Zhang Ruochen that the more important reason was that its Spiritual Power wasn’t strong enough to carve those runes.
 

After hesitating some more, Blackie coughed and said,
Actually, a grade eight formation can kill a Saint King is mostly because it needs a formation soul to command it. The Nine-Level Cloud Tower Formation that I created… I couldn’t find a suitable formation soul…ha…

 

Zhang Ruochen was speechless. He knew that he’d overestimated Blackie again.
The formation is lacking runes and doesn’t have a formation soul. So, how much of the Nine-Level Cloud Tower Formation’s power can it unleash?

 


About ten percent!

 

Blackie’s voice was low, clearly feeling guilty. Then it said,
The Nine-Level Cloud Tower Formation is the top defensive formation, after all. A regular Saint King can’t break in even if it’s only ten percent of the power. You’ll need at least a fifth step Saint King to break in.

 


A fifth step Saint King… That’s enough!

 

Zhang Ruochen nodded softly.
A fifth step Saint King is already a strong figure among Saint Kings. If they attack with full power, the commotion would be great and Supreme Saint Manjian would be able to sense it immediately. With his cultivation, if he senses that someone broke into the Red Dragon Saint Domain, he could kill him even if he’s thousands of miles away.

 

Zhang Ruochen didn’t have to worry about the strongest enemies. The Moon Goddess and Supreme Saint Manjian would take care of them for him.
 

He only had to guard against enemies under the third step Saint King Realm. Their auras were weaker, so even if they attacked, Supreme Saints wouldn’t be able to sense them.
 

After all, a Supreme Saint had to cultivate and had their own matters too. They couldn’t pay attention to Zhang Ruochen at all times.
 

In addition, the Moon Goddess also wanted to push Zhang Ruochen to go, so she didn’t have him stay in Moon Goddess Mountain. Zhang Ruochen was where he was now because of the lessons he’d learned from cruel hardships.
 

He turned his palm and took out the Mercury Gourd.
 

Pouring Holy Qi in, the gourd grew larger and larger. Finally, it actually became a gourd mountain, floating in the sky.
 

The lid opened and a saint spring flowed out.
 

Whoosh!
 

The sweet spring poured out like an unending white waterfall.
 

Soon, a lake formed at the bottom of the Mercury Gourd.
 


This saint spring was brought back from Zuling Field. Help me turn it all into Ning True Saint Dew. Also, a group of Half-Saints from the Sacred Central Empire will come over from Moon Goddess Mountain. At that time, you have to work hard to train them.

 


 COMMENT

After giving these two orders, Zhang Ruochen put the Mercury Gourd away. He transformed into a streak of light and rushed into a cultivation residence to meditate.
 

The Universe World inside of him was sealed again by the Moon Goddess when he returned to the Heaven World. However, he’d taken out the Half-Saints beforehand.
 

They were still very pliable.
 

In order to pay Zhang Ruochen back, the Moon Goddess had the Half-Saints stay in Moon Goddess Mountain. They were baptized by the Moon Goddess with the Half-Saints of Guanghan Field, testing their bodies and saint souls.
 

Before, Zhang Ruochen and the Moon Goddess had agreed on one month. After one month, the Half-Saints would come to Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land.
 

In the end, the cultivators of the old Sacred Central Empire and Universe World were Zhang Ruochen’s heirs. He valued them the most.
 

After entering the cultivation residence, Zhang Ruochen immediately took out the Monument Shield and placed it on the stone table. He reached out to press onto the Time and Space Crystal.
 

Whoosh!
 

The space trembled.
 

The next moment, Zhang Ruochen entered the Time and Space Crystal. He sat cross-legged in the center.
 

He took out a bottle of Ning True Saint Dew and swallowed it, refining it.
 

In Zuling Field, Zhang Ruochen didn’t lack any cultivation resources and he had a large amount of Ning True Saint Dew. But he lacked time.
 

Now, he finally didn’t lack time, so he would naturally try to reach the peak of the Absolute Realm as soon as possible.
 

Two months later.
 

Zhang Ruochen refined 50,000 drops of Ning True Saint Dew. He emptied all the dew that he’d stolen from other Saints and reached the peak of the Absolute Saint Realm instantly.
 

His abilities improved greatly from the beginning level to the peak. The Rules of Saintly Way in his Sea of Qi had all gone to the extreme.
 

He was feeling great.
After reaching the peak,
he murmured to himself,
I can’t continue condensing the 372 Rules of Saintly Way inside. I can only improve by comprehending new rules.

 

Each of the 372 rules were different. It included rules of sword, space, time, speed, palm… They represented that Zhang Ruochen had melded 372 Rules of Saintly Way into his saint soul.
 


These 372 rules were Zhang Ruochen’s foundation for the Saintly Way, known as the
rule seeds.

 

He could only reach the half-step Saint King Realm by letting the rule seeds take root.
 


I choose the time, space, and sword rules as the root. I’ll focus on these three ways. The other 369 will be the branches and leaves.
Zhang Ruochen made this decision.
 

Usually, a cultivator would only choose one Rule of Saintly Way as the root.
 

Zhang Ruochen chose three simultaneously. It was undeniably a big challenge.
 

He had no other option though. First, time and space were both part of the Ancient Ways. He had to focus on them.
 

However, time and space were too difficult. If Zhang Ruochen chose them as the root, he would have to take forever to reach the half-step Saint King Realm.
 

Thus, he had to choose the Sword Way as support to help him improve quickly.
 


The rules of time and space are too difficult to comprehend. It takes a lot of time too. I’ll study the Sword Way first and try to reach the half-step or even first step Saint King Realm first.

 


In the Heaven World, I can only become one of the strong by becoming a Saint King.

 

The Sword Way was one of the 72 Supreme Saintly Ways. It was intangible but still truly existed in the world.
 

It would be very slow for a cultivator to merely use his Spiritual Power to perceive it.
 

The fastest way to comprehend the Sword Way was definitely to refine and absorb rules saint weapons of a swordsman. Then, they could transform those rules into their own.
 

But rules saint weapons were very hard to find. If he wanted to find a swordsman’s rules saint weapon, it would only be harder.
 


Suddenly, his heart jumped. He thought of that rules emperor weapon from Zuling Field.
 

The Wujin Ancestor had left that rules emperor weapon behind. It represented the crystallization of the cultivation of his entire life. It was probably made up of billions of rules and was a definite treasure.
 

Zhang Ruochen, Le, Han Qiu and the others had gone through much difficulty to take this weapon from Hell Blade Field and Purple Mansion Field.
