Chapter 7: God-Slayer Sword

After an hour of exploration, he finally found something even more interesting in the Spiritual Ring. It was a majestic golden and black building, with various drawings of mythical animals such as kirin, phoenix, dragons, white tiger, etc.

The building had only five floors, but each had some strange symbols which he couldn't understand as much as he tried to understand. The building in front of him was a small pagoda compared to chinese pagodas in novels, which probably spanned more than ten floors.

Zhang Ruotian didn't immediately run towards the pagoda, he first checked his surroundings, only after not finding anything suspicious did he proceed to the pagoda.

Umpteen may think that he was too cautious as that pagoda was given by R.O.B, but it didn't kill anyone not to check. After all, he was still in an unknown place that he never entered, who knows that there may be some powerful beast guarding the pagoda without him knowing it.

As the saying says "The hurried eats raw". As being hurried would blur your vision and you wouldn't even notice some small but important details.

He advanced slowly and finally arrived at the main entrance to the golden pagoda. Without delay, he put his hand on the door and injected a large amount of Genuine Qi. A strong light immediately came out of the door, blinding his vision completely as the door started to shake slightly.

When the light got weak, Zhang Ruotian came across a large golden room with various types of spiritual treasures. His heart boiled, for he knew that these were the resources of Immortal Cultivation that he wished before reincarnating in this world.

There was a pile full of Low-Level some Medium-Level Spiritual Stones. There were also various types of Spiritual Weapons sustained in the air as if it were magic.

Spiritual Stones were stones that have absorbed a large amount of Genuine Qi and have been transformed into pure Genuine Qi stones without any impurity within them.

Spiritual Stones can be divided into Low-Level, Medium-Level and High-Level, the higher the level of spiritual stones, the purer Genuine Qi they would contain. However medium and High-Level Spiritual Stones are very rare, only high-ranking people above the Foundation Establishment Realm would have them.

Speaking of cultivation, the Immortal cultivation that Zhang Ruochen practiced was different from the kunlun Field. For it was stronger in all terms, but if he can practice both cultivation systems he could be stronger than other people in the same cultivation realm.

Cultivation was the practice of absorbing Spiritual Energy, which is present throughout heaven and on earth, through special breathing exercises. The act allows one to shed the limits of the mortal.

The purpose of cultivation was to Cultivate Dao. First Step belonged to the word 'Cultivating' in 'Cultivating Dao'. Second Step was the bridge between the words 'Cultivate' and 'Dao.' When completely moving the soul from the word 'Cultivate' to the word 'Dao,' the key was the in Second Step. The Third Step was the true realm of the word 'Dao'. This Dao isn't the Dao of the Heaven.

However, the First Step of Immortal Cultivation was divided into: Tempered Body, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, Soul Transformation, Ascendant.

Which, apart from the Tempered Body, were also separated into four small sub-stages which are: Initial-Stage, Intermediate-Stage, Peak-Stage, Perfect-Stage.

However, what attracted the most attention was a golden flame burning in a glass square suspended in the air, the flames seemed to be quite strong, but even when he approached he didn't even feel the heat it was as if the golden flame had no temperature.

But of course, that was not true, because perhaps it was that square of glass that was restraining the powerful scorching heat of the golden flame. He was more astonished, because he knew what kind of flames it was because of the memories of the Ancient Gods who reached the Peak of Cultivation.

It was a Heavenly flame!

A flame Heavenly flame, it was a flame that was not created by normal means. They were flames that were born from the heavens and the earth, normally these flames could only be found in special places where the primordial Qi, which is the strongest energy in the world of cultivation, was extremely dense.

Zhang Ruotian's red blooded eyes flashed with a greedy light. This was a heavenly Flame, something that only exists in places with an abundance of primordial Qi.

And it was right there in front of him, but he didn't let his greed win over him. For, he knew that he was not yet strong enough to possess such a powerful flame.

Furthermore, the R.O.B would certainly not leave such a treasure without any protection or a type of requirement to obtain the treasure, otherwise, everything would be as easy as drinking water.

He sighed helplessly and turned towards the mountain of Spiritual Stones, as it was the only thing he could use on the first floor.

Zhang Ruotian took the spiritual Stones and began to observe them. As expected of an R.O.B, everything he does is of the highest quality!

Zhang Ruotian couldn't help but exclaim in his mind when he looked at the spiritual Stones in front of him. All of them were of good qualities even though they were Low-Level Spiritual Stones!

He held two spiritual stones in his hand, and broke them. Sheer Genuine Qi could be seen with the naked eye emerging from the broken spiritual stones. Seeing such an extraordinary phenomenon taking place before him, Zhang Ruotian's eyes could not help but flicker too much.

He soothed his heated nerves, and sat in the lotus position. Once seated, he began to operate the "The Sixty-Six Eternal God Emperors Technique". A dense and sheer Genuine Qi extreme immediately entered the ports of his jade body, he felt energized and full of energy. The Sheer Genuine Qi brought him an indescribable pleasure.

However, he did not lose himself in pleasure and began to circulate the "The Sixty-Six Eternal God Emperors Technique" to further absorb Sheer Genuine Qi within the spiritual stones. A wave of Genuine Qi circulated and slid like a slide inside his meridians, which made him feel a slight pain in his body.

However, Zhang Ruotian didn't bother much with such little pain as he circled the "Sixty-Six Eternal God Emperors Technique" more and greedily absorbed the Sheer Genuine Qi suspended in the air as if there was no tomorrow.

More and more that he absorbed Sheer Genuine Qi, at the same time his cultivation technique tempered his body at the same time. The simultaneous absorption and temperament caused a pain to appear inside his body, this time he couldn't ignore it, as it was as if his body was being destroyed and rebuilt at the same time.

The purest Genuine Qi was greedily absorbed by him, he directed Genuine Qi within his body according to the "The Sixty-Six Eternal God Emperors Technique". But, suddenly he changed the trajectory of where the Genuine Qi would go. It carried Genuine Qi into his brain, resulting in strongly stimulating it.

Buzzz!

He could hear bee-like buzzing inside his head, which was like thunder crashing through his mind. Even so, he endured the pain and continued to carry the Genuine Qi to his head. Suddenly, a deafening sound resonated inside his already stunned mind.

Bang!

Zhang Ruotian felt his internal organs swing from left to right, he can't help but vomit a mouthfull of blood. In the same fraction of time, a sweet and bitter taste hit his tongue leaving him even more agonized.

The situation was critical, Zhang Ruotian wasted no more time and began to circulate even faster the "Sixty-Six Eternal God Emperors Technique". More Genuine Qi was absorbed by him like a sponge, the pain in his mind and the temperature in his body increased dramatically.

He was at an essential moment in his Immortal Cultivation, he could not be subject to any error at that time!

Open!

The sound of something opening rang in his ears as blood came out of his orifices. One wave of heat resurfaced in his body, while nourishing his body and healing his internal wounds. Zhang Ruotian opened his eyes, but with difficulties. His eyes suddenly widened, he could feel and see far beyond a normal person, he could even see a lake that was in the world of the Spiritual Ring more than 5 kilometers away!

Zhang Ruotian was surprised by this discovery, but later he thought it was logical because that was one of the advantages of practicing the "The Sixty-Six Eternal God Emperors technique". For, only when one completes the Body Tempered Realm can one enter the Foundation Establishing Realm, thus being able to awaken the Divine Sense!

Divine Sense would refer to a manifestation of a person's conscience and spirit that is used by cultivators to examine their surroundings, as well as to use their most esoteric powers at a greater distance.

Only with this can one see how powerful the Divine Sense was, it was usually impossible to awaken the Divine Sense without being in the Foundation Establishing Realm, but the "The Sixty-Six Eternal God Emperors Technique" could make that possible in the Body Tempered Realm!

Zhang Ruotian laughed inwardly: "As expected of a Heaven Rank Technique!"

He stood up and tested his Divine Sense for a few minutes. However, these were not his only gains, as he managed to successfully break through the 3rd Layer Tempered Body Realm. Suddenly, he turned towards the Spiritual Weapons held in the air as if it were magic, there was a black and red sword that made all the other swords pale in its presence.

Looking at that sword, Zhang Ruotian felt as if thousands of swords had pierced his body. However, it was just an illusion, but it left a deep terror in him, definitely this sword was only to be used to kill!
