God Emperor - Chapter 589

Chapter 589


Red Wish Emissary's bright eyes swept over the Blood Cloud Sect disciples kneeling in the main hall . "Leave us, all of you!"

The Blood Cloud Sect disciples in the main hall all looked at Red Wish Emissary gratefully . They rushed to leave as though granted amnesty .

Red Wish Emissary's sudden appearance had saved them from impending disaster .

Red Wish Emissary remained in midair . She took one step forward and flew across to the skull armchair at the head of the hall . She sat down without any prompting .

She lifted her eyes, gazing at the deformed bronze table and laughed . "What has happened, Master Xu?"

Xu Hong looked coldly serious . "Today, I dispatched Fang Jie and Cao Ying to assassinate the Cyan Cloud County Chief of the Demonic Sect . They failed in their mission and were killed by a mysterious man instead . Two useless bums!"

Red Wish Emissary nodded . The corners of her lips rose as she finally understood what had happened .

Fang Jie and Cao Ying were among the top ten killers of the Blood Cloud Sect yet they were killed in their own territory . No wonder Xu Hong was flaming mad .

It was difficult to cultivate a killer . It was even more difficult to cultivate a top killer of Fang Jie and Cao Ying's caliber .

"You better resolve your problem yourself . "

Red Wish Emissary's fingers gently twirled her ebony hair . "I have come here to tell you two things . First, you must stop all your activities against the Moon Worship Demonic Sect . "

Xu Hong was puzzled . "Why?"

Red Wish Emissary answered . "The battle at East Region Saint City has infuriated the Chens and Martial Market Bank . With the imperial court's blessing, the Chens have assembled 2,800,000 elite troops at Fallen-gods Mountain Range . They are poised to invade the Eastern Evil Land anytime . They will not retreat unless the Eastern Evil Land pays a hefty price .

"At the same time, the Martial Market Bank has gathered many top masters to infiltrate the Eastern Evil Land . They are planning to retaliate against the Black Market .

"Therefore, the higher authorities have decided to postpone operations against the Demonic Sect . They have decided to gather our forces to drive back the imperial court and the Martial Market Bank instead . "

Xu Hong pondered for a moment and then said, "We can suspend our actions against the Demonic Sect for the time being, but the man who killed Fang Jie and Cao Ying must die . "

"I don't care who you kill as long as it doesn't affect important matters . "

Red Wish Emissary solemnly said, "There's the second matter . Thanks to the battle in East Region Saint City, many of our moles within the various forces of Eastern Holy Land have blown their cover . They need to return to Eastern Evil Land . Settling them down again is quite a problem .

"This is what the Master would like to do: Allow a party of them to merge into the Blood Cloud Sect . You will then rule over them . "


Xu Hong's face suddenly brimmed with joy . He bowed quickly to Red Wish Emissary . "My thanks to the Phantom Saint! Please convey my gratefulness to His Excellency . I shall bring him a lavish gift the next time I visit Phantom Valley . "

Red Wish Emissary smiled and stood up . She walked out in a leisurely manner, speaking lazily in a very alluring voice . "Master Xu, my Master will remember your faithfulness . Please remember who supported you once Blood Cloud Sect attains the rank of a third-rate Suzerain . "

"I won't forget . Definitely not . "

Red Wish Emissary spoke without turning back her head . "Within the 27 counties around God Falling Ridge, there are sure to be many fierce struggles . I will remain in Cyan Cloud County . Look me up in the county town if there are any changes . "

Xu Hong's eyes followed Red Wish Emissary as she departed from the main hall . He felt very excited .

Many Black Market moles were retreating from the Eastern Holy Land and would soon join the Blood Cloud Sect . This would multiply the Sect's strength within a short period of time .

Blood Cloud Sect would develop into a third-rate Suzerain in no time .

However, the troops from the imperial court were a big headache . Should the imperial troops travel through God Falling Ridge, the first power they would attack would be the Blood Cloud Sect .

He had no idea how determined the imperial court was this time .

Xu Hong gradually calmed down . He recalled Fang Jie and Cao Ying's deaths and his eyes turned ice-cold . He called out in a deep voice . "Men! Ask Luo Shi to come into the main hall . I have a task for him . "

"Yes . "

Outside the hall, a black figure immediately retreated .



Luo Shi was the No . 4 Killer of the Blood Cloud Sect . He had reached the Seventh Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm and had once succeeded in assassinating a Monk of the Eighth Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm .

Xu Hong had analyzed the strength of the mysterious man who killed Fang Jie and Cao Ying . The man was a Master of Spiritual Power .

A Master of Spiritual Power was indeed very powerful, but killers who could hide their aura were the most formidable opponents of such Masters .

Luo Shi's cultivation level was not the highest among the killers of Blood Cloud Sect .

But he was the most adept at disguising his aura .

As long as he could get close to a Master of Spiritual Power, he would have no problem assassinating him .

"Luo Shi can fulfill this mission . "

Xu Hong snorted . His aging face became even more grotesque as one hand tightly gripped the other .

After Zhang Ruochen left Liyuan City, he did not head for the county town . Instead, he found a hilly, secluded spot and retreated into the Scroll World .

There were three more days before his meeting with Duanmu Ya .

The three-day period would be enough for him to raise his cultivation by a level .

If he entered into the Scroll World to practice, Zhang Ruochen would have 10 times more time, which meant he would have the equivalent of a month .

"Disguising myself as a Master of Spiritual Power is a good way to hide my identity . To do that, I must improve my Spiritual Power . Can I raise it to the 44th level within one month?"

Zhang Ruochen sat with his legs tucked beneath him under the Sacred Prime Tree . Inhaling and exhaling Spiritual Qi, he was trying his best to adjust his physical condition in order to reach a realm of self-unconsciousness .

Right now, his Spiritual Power had reached the peak of the 43rd level . He was just one step away from the 44th level .

Once his Spiritual Power reached the 44th level, he could fight a Monk of the Eighth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm .



Practicing Spiritual Power was very difficult . The next level might seem a mere step away, but that one step might be as wide as a moat . One could not simply stride over it .

Of course, with each increase in Spiritual Power level, a Monk's real power would increase by leaps and bounds .

After adjusting his Heart State, Zhang Ruochen took out a Redcrown Mushroom with a nine-meter diameter and lay it by his side .

The Redcrown Mushroom was huge—four meters high . It resembled a fiery lotus in full bloom . Zhang Ruochen's body looked puny beside it .

In fact, the Redcrown Mushroom came from the crest of a redcloud python . It was a treasure for raising one's Spiritual Power .

Of course, a Redcrown Mushroom from an ordinary redcloud python could not help Zhang Ruochen raise his Spiritual Power from the 43rd to the 44th level .

This Redcrown Mushroom, however, was from the Black Skeleton Flood Dragon King . It constituted almost all of its Spiritual Power and wisdom .

If he could refine it and then ingest the Half-Saint flood dragon blood, Zhang Ruochen was 90% certain he could raise his Spiritual Power to the 44th level .

He took off and soared to the center of the Redcrown Mushroom cap . He sat down with his legs tucked beneath him and started running Genuine Qi around his body as he practiced the fifth level of the Scripture of Emperor Ming's Empyrean .

"Devil-taming Mysterious Fetus Heaven . "

The Genuine Qi from the Qi Sea in his lower abdomen poured out from his 36 Meridians . It gathered around Zhang Ruochen's navel, forming a Qi vortex .

The navel has been called "the root of one's inborn Qi . "

A fetus can survive and grow thanks to an umbilical cord that links it to its mother's Blood Meridians .

After leaving the mother, although the umbilical cord is cut, the navel does not completely lose its function .

Some practitioners could use some special methods and open up a second Qi Sea beneath the navel . This was known as "the mysterious embryo . "

After reaching a certain realm in the fifth level of the Scripture of Emperor Ming's Empyrean, one could open up a second Qi Sea and practice "the mysterious embryo . "



However, because Zhang Ruochen had just begun practicing the fifth level of Scripture of Emperor Ming's Empyrean, he could only condense a Genuine Qi vortex under his navel .

"BOOM!"

The vortex split as Genuine Qi poured out like air columns from ten thousand pores all over his body . It first turned into a green flame, and then into a fire cloud, completely enveloping the 9-meter-wide Redcrown Mushroom .

The Genuine Qi refined the Redcrown Mushroom into fine powder . Then the powder traveled into Zhang Ruochen's navel, and from there, into the 36 Meridians of his body .

After 15 days of refining, Zhang Ruochen finally absorbed all of the Redcrown Mushroom into his body . It merged into his bloodstream, Genuine Qi, bones, and sinews, becoming part of his body .

At the same time, he swallowed a large amount of Half-Saint flood dragon blood to help stabilize the vast energies from the Redcrown Mushroom acting on his body .

Zhang Ruochen had not expected that a large part of the vital essences from the Redcrown Mushroom and the Half-Saint flood dragon blood would be absorbed into his bone structure . His martial cultivation now broke through to a new level—the Third Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm .

The Third Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm was called "Bone Refining to Jade . "

The Third Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm caused Zhang Ruochen's bone structure to turn lustrous and translucent like white jade, exuding a faint white glow .

Even with a layer of skin and flesh, one could make out the shape of his skeleton .

All 206 bones in his body seemed to have gotten a life of their own and were absorbing Spiritual Qi .

His white jade-like bones were soaking up Spiritual Qi . After constant tempering, his bones had become even more resilient . Even the bones in the innermost parts of his body had turned jade-like .

Zhang Ruochen felt that his physical strength had at least doubled .

After five days of refining, Zhang Ruochen had completely absorbed the Redcrown Mushroom into his body . As expected, his Spiritual Power immediately reached the 44th level .

Zhang Ruochen stood up and stretched out his palm . BAM! A purple lightning ball the size of a pigeon egg materialized above it .

It was a Level One Magic Art—Spherical Lightning .

Prior to this, Zhang Ruochen had not practiced this sort of spell .

With his current Spiritual Power, all he needed now was to visualize a Level One Magic Art in his mind, then he could easily exude its power .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
