Zhang Ruochen’s gaze turned toward Ao Xinyan.
Junior sister apprentice Ao, from today onwards, you and the Orange Star Emissary will seclude yourselves for refining inside the Scroll World. If you have any questions while practicing, you can ask Blackie.

The Scroll World was a unique Holy Land for practicing. Naturally, Ao Xinyan was willing to practice inside. At the very least, she had to raise her cultivation to the Fish-dragon Realm.
Only after reaching the Fish-dragon Realm can one be considered a supernatural being, having truly stepped onto the Holy Road.
The Orange Star Emissary and Ao Xinyan both wanted to work hard to raise their cultivation and increase their strength, so they didn’t waste any more time. They sat cross-legged at the side of the stump of the Sacred Prime Tree and begun to run their exercises to start their practice.
Meanwhile, Zhang Ruochen, Blackie, and Huang Yanchen walked towards the heart of the tree stump, gradually approaching the newly-sprouted Sacred Prime Tree seedling.
A glimmer of worry appeared on Huang Yanchen’s face. She turned and looked in the direction of the Orange Star Emissary.
Zhang Ruochen, you must not be blinded by the Orange Star Emissary’s beauty. Her words are not to be trusted.

I think that she has only submitted to you so that she can practice in the Scroll World, to use this unique environment to make herself more powerful. Once her practice is done, she will definitely fight her way out of the Scroll World.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said,
I understand.

Blackie walked on his two hind paws and laughed loudly.
Anyone can tell that her submission is fake. For a little girl, she is very scheming. It doesn’t matter, I have a way to control her.
I can teach her true submission. Zhang Ruochen, are you interested in teaching her yourself?

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said,
I have no interest. She is the person you want, naturally, I will give her to you to discipline. I only hope that there won’t be trouble in the future because of her.

Blackie huffed coldly.
How is it possible that I won’t be able to subdue her? You, however, you have to help me find two other physical qualities, a Genuine God Body and an Innate Extreme Yang Body. Of the five physical qualities, not even one can be missing.


I will help you keep an eye out for it,
Zhang Ruochen said.
The two people and the cat soon came to the new sprout of the Sacred Prime Tree.
The Spiritual Qi was even thicker here.
The Spiritual Qi of wood nature, in particular, was flowing through the air as if in streams before finally condensing into a cloud of white fog.
Zhang Ruochen looked at the giant sacred wood in front of him and said,
Blackie, do you remember the matter I told you about before? When I obtained the Qi of Origin from the Wood Spirit Primitive World, I entered that mysterious realm again. At that time, I saw an elder practicing the sword in front of the Sacred Prime Tree. Do you know who that elder is?

Blackie was a bit surprised. His eyes rolled around, thinking for a moment, then he shook his head.
I have stayed a total of a million years in the Scroll World, I have never seen an elder practicing the sword.


But…


But what?
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze became serious.
It seemed that Blackie was recalling something.
Saint Monk Xumi, an old Buddhist monk, once demonstrated a set of sword techniques here. Perhaps the elder you saw practicing the sword was a shadow left hundreds of years ago by Monk Xumi.


A shadow can remain for so long?
Huang Yanchen was somewhat doubtful.
Blackie said,
Naturally, other shadows cannot do so. However, Saint Monk Xumi, the Buddhist Monk was not an ordinary person. The fluctuations in his power were too strong, it was enough to twist this piece of space. It is not impossible for you to see his shadow once again after a million years.


There is indeed this possibility.
Zhang Ruochen nodded his head.
In the entire world, probably only Saint Monk Xumi and Zhang Ruochen could meld time into their sword techniques.
In Zhang Ruochen’s heart, he guessed that at that time, the Sacred Prime Tree had absorbed a great deal of the Qi of Origin, causing a fluctuation in the Spiritual Qi. This caused the million-year-old image to be shown anew.
Of course, this was only his and Blackie’s guess, it might not be the truth.
Zhang Ruochen had just started practicing the Sword of Time. Even for the first movement, Swift and Neat, he had only reached a Small Success. If he wanted to meld the power of time and sword technique into one, he still needed a long time to practice.

The practice method for the Sword of Time should be recorded in The Mystery of Time and Space.

Zhang Ruochen immediately took out The Mystery of Time and Space. He flipped through the book until the ninth page and indeed saw the words
Sword of Time
.
In the past, Zhang Ruochen could only read until the eighth page. Whenever he reached the ninth page, he couldn’t open it no matter how he tried.
This was his first time flipping to the ninth page.
He saw that on the ninth page of The Mystery of Space and Time, there were a total of nine hundred little people drawn on it.
Each person was only the size of a fly. They each held a sword in their hands, and their postures were strange as they demonstrated different sword movements.
Some were bent down, stabbing forward with the sword in one hand. Others had their legs bent and arms held out, swinging and chopping with their sword…nine hundred pictures, nine hundred forms.
Each picture was a sword movement, they were piercing, lifting, blocking, or chopping. Each movement was different, but very clever and filled with the charm of sword technique.
Swift Swordsmanship was the foundation of the Sword of Time. One Time Mark, one moment, one sword technique.
Nine hundred moments gathered into one quarter.
Eight quarters gathered into two hours.
Twelve hours gathered into one day.
…
…
The origin of time was just a moment.
There were a total of nine hundred movements in the Swift Swordsmanship. Zhang Ruochen had only learned one of them.
Zhang Ruochen injected his Spiritual Power completely into the
Time Mysterium
. It was like his soul had jumped out of his body and landed on the page of the book.

Swish!

Immediately, the nine hundred little people holding swords on the page came alive.
They stood all around Zhang Ruochen and continuously demonstrated the movements, each person demonstrating a different movement.
Zhang Ruochen completely immersed his Spiritual Power. He walked to the side of the first little person and watched his sword technique and sword movement very closely, following along.
Perhaps it was because he had already successfully practiced one movement of Swift Swordsmanship that when he practiced the second one, he learned it very quickly.
Zhang Ruochen withdrew his Spiritual power and drew out his Abyss Ancient Sword. His arm was as straight as the sword as he struck out with it.

Swish!

The sword technique flashed like lightning in front of Huang Yancheng’s eyes.
The next moment, Zhang Ruochen was already standing 10 meters away, pulling his sword back. Speaking to himself, he said,
There are 900 movements to Swift Swordsmanship. Only when I have successfully learned all 900 sword movements, will I be able to learn the second part of the Time of Sword, it is a graduated sword technique.

The biggest weakness of the Swift Swordsmanship was that the movements did not flow together – each movement was independent of the others.
However, as Zhang Ruochen learned more and more of the sword movements, the sword technique underwent great changes. Even with one move, it would be enough for him to be a king in the same realm.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen was not in a rush to seclude himself to practice Swift Swordsmanship, rather, he put away The Mystery of Time and Space and brought out Huang Shenyi’s body.
Since Huang Shenyi had obtained the Xuanmu Heritage, he certainly had more than the Six-hilt Divine Sword on him.

What other treasures had he received?


Snap!

Zhang Ruochen enveloped his hands in Genuine Qi then struck out, shattering the layer of ice on Huang Shenyi’s body.
He began to search it.
There was a turtle-shell-shaped amulet treasure around Huang Shenyi’s neck.
This amulet treasure was able to block the attack of the Abyss Ancient Sword, so naturally, it was not an ordinary thing.
The turtle shell was called Turtle Armor, it was only the size of a fingernail. It was blue in color, and very complicated inscriptions were carved inside. It was a twelfth level Genuine Martial Arm of the defensive class.
One only had to use Genuine Qi to activate the defensive inscriptions on the Turtle Armor, creating a spherical array Qi shield.
If a warrior at the Heaven Realm injected all their Genuine Qi into the Turtle Amor, it would be enough to block a full-strength attack from a monk in the sixth change of the Fish-dragon Realm.
It could only block one attack.
If the monk at the Sixth Change of the Fish-dragon realm struck out again, a warrior at the Heaven Realm would not have enough Genuine Qi to activate the defensive power of the Turtle Armor again.
Furthermore, if the other party had a twelfth level Genuine Martial Arm weapon or even a Holy Weapon, then the Turtle Amor would not be able to block the opponent’s attack.
The Turtle Armor was indeed a rare defensive treasure. It would be too much of a waste to give to the Abyss Ancient Sword to refine.
Zhang Ruochen gave the Turtle Armor to Huang Yanchen and said,
Senior sister apprentice Yanchen, I’m giving this amulet treasure to you.

Although the Turtle Amor was precious, it was not comparable to the Six-hilt Divine Sword.
Thus, Huang Yanchen didn’t bother to be polite with Zhang Ruochen. She accepted the Turtle Armor and placed it on her wrist.
Next, Zhang Ruochen found two bottles of pills on Huang Shenyi’s body.
One bottle contained white Fish-dragon Pills.
The Fish-dragon Pill was a seventh-level Pill. It was very precious and could help a warrior break through a martial bottleneck and break mortal shackles to enter the Fish-dragon Realm.
For a warrior in the Heaven Realm, Fish-dragon Pills were a priceless treasure.
Given Huang Shenyi’s cultivation, he only needed to take the Fish-dragon pill to immediately break into the Fish-dragon Realm. However, what he really wanted was to charge into the Ultimate Realm of the Heaven Realm, thus, he only carried this Pill on him. He never expected that he wouldn’t be able to take it.
Actually, it was not that regretful. In history, there were many talented people who wanted to charge into the Ultimate Realm of the Heaven Realm so they suppressed their own realms, unwilling to break through. In the end, not only did they not reach the Ultimate Realm of the Heaven Realm, but they died without breaking through.
There were too many such examples.
Although the Fish-dragon Pill was an incredible treasure, he wasn’t interested. Like Huang Shenyi, he wanted to break into the Ultimate Realm of the Heaven Realm. Even if he knew that this path was difficult and that he could die very easily, he would still go through it with determination.
That was why he also gifted the Fish-dragon Pill to Huang Yanchen.
The other bottle of pills was rather strange. Even the bottle was rather ancient as if it were a treasure.
Zhang Ruochen used his hands to pull the lid off the elixir bottle but no matter how much strength he exerted, the lid did not move at all.
