Chapter 156: Void Palace
Chapter 156: Void Palace
At this moment, Su Zhan felt extremely tranquil in his heart. Opening the Yinwei Saint Meridian might be considered difficult and risky by others. However, with his cultivation halo, two divine bodies, Dragon Vein physique, and a body tempered by countless heavenly and earthly spirit objects, his talent and breakthrough presented no bottlenecks or difficulties.
The reason he activated his divine body was simply to make his first Saint Meridian stronger. Just like in Origin Elixir Realm and Pure Elemental Jade Bones, the strength of the Saint Meridians varied among different martial practitioners, indirectly affecting the power of the Saint Qi.
After spending half an hour completely absorbing the thousand-year spiritual spring, Su Zhan finally broke through to the Third Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm!
A Saint Meridian connected from his dantian to the middle, generating a small amount of Saint Qi within it. The spiritual energy vortex of heaven and earth dissipated, and Su Zhan also ended his divine body state.
Subconsciously, he circulated some of the Saint Qi.
"Is it possible that the Saint Qi's power isn't much stronger than True Qi?" Feeling the power contained in the Saint Qi, Su Zhan was somewhat surprised.
Chu Xuanyi walked over, "Congratulations, Daoist friend Su, on successfully breaking through to the Third Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm! The Third Transformation only involves the birth of Saint Qi, and its power will be slightly stronger than your True Qi, but not by much. Also, the amount of Saint Qi in the Third Transformation is relatively small, so it's generally not used easily. After all, once you deplete the Saint Qi, you won't be able to replenish it immediately, and you can only convert it back from True Qi slowly. This situation will improve when you break through to the Fourth Transformation, open the Yangwei Saint Meridian, and allow the intermingling and circulation of Yin and Yang, enabling you to directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and convert it into Saint Qi. By the Fifth Transformation, when you open the Heavenly Saint Meridian, you will be able to convert all of your True Qi into Saint Qi. The Sixth Transformation, Melted Spirit Body, will involve a complete upgrade of the entire body, including cells and hair, transcending the ordinary and becoming a saint!"
Seeing that Su Zhan seemed a bit unclear about these matters, Chu Xuanyi took the opportunity to explain and spoke a lot all at once.
"I see, thank you for clearing that up, Daoist Chu," Su Zhan said, retracting his Saint Qi and mobilizing his whole body. Although the Saint Qi was only slightly stronger than True Qi, that increase was significant due to his breakthrough to the Third Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm, which greatly enhanced his power. Compared to his previous True Qi strength, the improvement was not just a little.
"Now that I've broken through my realm, I might find it easier to cultivate the Celestial Dragon Sword Technique. Perhaps there's a chance to reach the great achievement in a short time?" he murmured.
Su Zhan flew out, arriving in an open area, and drew his Golden Thunder Bamboo Sword, starting to cultivate the Celestial Dragon Sword Technique.
Sword Dao Halo, activate!
With the support of the Sword Dao Halo, every sword strike and every starlight condensed into a dragon, granting him new insights. Additionally, his cultivation had become more accessible due to his breakthrough. Moreover, since he had already reached the small achievement in the Celestial Dragon Sword Technique for some time and had not slackened in its practice, coupled with actual combat experience, the technique was already nearing the great achievement.
All these factors combined, and after half a day, he had reached the great achievement of Celestial Dragon Sword Technique! Its power had greatly increased. Even without using the final form of the Celestial Dragon Sword Technique, just a random strike with celestial sword energy could effortlessly kill Fish-Dragon Realm Fifth Transformation warriors!
After resting for a while, he returned to the valley and found Chu Xuanyi practicing there. "Daoist Chu, it's still early in the day. Since we've successfully obtained the Spiritual Spring, let's bid farewell and search for treasures separately!"
"Wait!" Chu Xuanyi quickly called out to Su Zhan.
"Is there something else, Daoist Chu?"
"I want to ask you, Daoist Su, do you have a chance of winning against a Half-Saint if you were to encounter one now?"
Su Zhan pondered for a moment. "Against someone like Muguang, who is of that level, I should have a chance. As for other Half-Saints, I can't say for sure. Half-Saints also have different strengths and weaknesses, right? I'm not sure where Muguang stands among Half-Saints."
Hearing Su Zhan's response, Chu Xuanyi let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's enough. Daoist friend Su, you see, in the Void Spirit Hall, the place with the most treasures is undoubtedly the Void Palace. Even after several searches, there must still be some rare treasures within the Void Palace. Moreover, the Myriad Sword Chart,' known as the number one treasure in the Void Spirit Hall, is also inside the Void Palace!"
"Myriad Sword Chart, a saint artifact?" Su Zhan's heart stirred.
"Not only is it a saint artifact, but it is also a powerful one. It is said to have offensive capabilities against enemies, aid in cultivating the sword path for martial practitioners, and even amplify mental strength. It is a true treasure! However, the Myriad Sword Chart can only be collected by a Saint. Unfortunately, Saints can't enter this place, and due to the special restrictions here, even if someone at the peak of the Fish-Dragon's Sixth Transformation breaks through to the Saint Realm after entering, they will be immediately sent out of the Void Spirit Hall. This results in the Myriad Sword Chart being known to everyone yet unobtainable!" Chu Xuanyi said with a smile. "Although we can't take it, Daoist Su, as a sword cultivator, you can use the Myriad Sword Chart to comprehend the sword path's artistic conception. The benefits to you would be no less than that of this Spiritual Spring! Moreover, apart from the Myriad Sword Chart, there are other treasures within the Void Palace! The Void Palace has numerous treasures, but it is tough to obtain without strength. Originally, I wasn't planning to go there, but now that you, Daoist friend Su, are so powerful, if you get to enjoy some benefits, I might as well join you and get a share too, hehe!"
The Myriad Sword Chart was unattainable to others? Su Zhan couldn't help but smile. Wasn't this just waiting for him to take it?
"Daoist Chu, lead the way! Let's not waste any time."
"Alright!"
Seeing Su Zhan readily agree, Chu Xuanyi was also delighted. Light wings appeared on his back, and he swiftly flew forward in the lower sky.
Following closely behind, Su Zhan caught up with him.
After a whole day, Su Zhan and Chu Xuanyi arrived at the Void Palace.
The palace was much larger than Su Zhan had imagined, with beams and pillars on the outer eaves towering a hundred meters high. From the entrance of the Void Palace at the bottom square, there were ten sets of stairs.
Each set of stairs was three meters high! It didn't look like a palace meant for humans at all.
At this moment, what attracted their attention more was the enormous blood cloud over the palace's huge square!
Under the blood cloud, an elderly man wore a pair of blood-red special claw gloves, and his body was shrouded in blood energy. He had just retracted his right hand from the chest of a Fish-Dragon Realm Sixth Transformation cultivator.
He held a blood-drenched heart in his hand and looked around at the others who had come to the Void Palace.
With a cold voice, he crushed the heart and said, "I am Muguang of the Blood Demon Sect! We occupy this place, so if you don't want to die, get out quickly!"
Witnessing a Fish-Dragon Sixth Transformation cultivator being so easily defeated by Muguang, having his heart taken out, the twenty-plus martial practitioners at the edge of the square trembled in their hearts. Although they were unwilling to leave like this, they all retreated hundreds to thousands of meters away to avoid Muguang's deadly hands unexpectedly.
As they retreated, Su Zhan and Chu Xuanyi became quite conspicuous standing in place.
Muguang finally noticed Su Zhan at this moment, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He remembered that Bloodfang was currently in a critical period of removing the seal of an ancient demon clan powerhouse, and any mishaps were unacceptable.
Furrowing his eyebrows, he said, "It's you, kid. Get lost! I have no intention of killing you!"
"No intention of killing me?" Su Zhan's eyes turned cold. "If I was slightly weaker in that valley, wouldn't I be dead by now?"
The Golden Thunder Bamboo Sword unsheathed itself from his waist and fell into his hand. Su Zhan said coldly, "You have no intention of killing me? But did I say I would spare you?"
