God Emperor - Chapter 114

Chapter 114

Everyone remained silent, as they walked into Divine Power Palace without making any noise or even talking . It was their rare chance to enter the palace and they only had two hours to practice . They didn't want to waste any second of it .

On the first floor of the palace, there were 12 Golden Foil Paintings hanging in 12 different directions on the wall .

Xue Ling, Yuchi Tiancong, Hua Lian, and Ju Hailan entered the palace and chose one painting each . They started cross-legged under their respective paintings and began practicing .

Since all of them were mature students, it was not their first time entering the Divine Power Palace . They remembered all the way and clearly understood the regulation to practice in the Palace .

"Twelve Half-Saint's Sacred Glyph!"

Zhang Ruochen was stunned to see the paintings . This school was just too wealthy! This was just the external yard, yet they were willing to put out the Twelve Half-Saint's Sacred Glyph for their students to practice with .

He walked closer to the Glyph and noticing something off about it .

The Twelve Half-Saint's Sacred Glyph didn't look authentic . Rather, they looked like the Rubbings Scrolls .

He was right . These were the Rubbings Scrolls .

Each Sacred Glyph represented a Half-Saint's Martial Arts and its Spiritual Determination .

The students could rely on the Spiritual Determination of the Half-Saint's Sacred Glyph to enhance their Spiritual Power .

Of course, they could even get the chance to figure out some secret technique or Martial Arts of the Half-Saint classified as lost knowledge .

The paintings on the wall weren't authentic . They were the Rubbings Scrolls that could only imitate the Half-Saint's Spiritual Determination, not its Martial Arts .

The array of the palace transferred Spiritual Qi into the Rubbings Scroll, allowing it to display the Half-Saint's Spiritual Determination to foster the students' Spiritual Powers .

To maintain the Half-Saint's Spiritual Determination for two hours, the palace had to consume 5,000 Spiritual Crystals .

5,000 Spiritual Crystals were equivalent to five million silver coins .

Since this required too many silver coins, the palace was only open once a month .

Zi Qian picked one of the paintings and sat cross-legged under it . She started practicing . There was a small sentence carved on the bottom left corner of the glyph that read 'Bloody Half-Saint Spirit Glyph' .

The description was also carved on the wall next to the glyph, indicating that it was suitable for female warriors as well as those looking for speed and slaughter .

The fighting style that Zi Qian was pursuing matched perfectly with the description — speed and slaughter . Therefore, she picked it to enhance her Spiritual Power .

Prince Huo Xing and Yao Qingtong had also chosen their respective glyphs .

On the other hand, Luo Shuihan, Tuo Muzi, Huang Yanchen, and Duanmu Xingling were walking toward the second level of the palace . When Duanmu Xingling was going up the stairs, she glanced at Zhang Ruochen as if to signal him to follow her .

Zhang Ruochen got her message and followed her .

Duanmu Xingling murmured, "Students with Spiritual Powers below level 20 are required to practice on the first level . Those beyond will practice on the second level . "

"Will we practice with Half-Saint's Sacred Glyphs as well?" he asked .

Duanmu Xingling said, "The Half-Saint's Sacred Glyphs in Divine Power Palace are all inauthentic Rubbings Scroll . The Spiritual Determination of the glyphs depends on how much Spiritual Qi we activate and transfer to the glyphs . "

"Though all the glyphs here are Rubbing Scrolls, those on the first level can only increase a person's Spiritual Power up to level 20 . But the six scrolls on the second level can increase Spiritual Power up to level 30 . It's said that there's a Saint Sacred Graph of the Rubbings Scroll on the third level but only Luo Shuihan is strong enough to practice there so far," she added .

Zhang Ruochen nodded and didn't ask any more questions .

When Zhang Ruochen and Duanmu Xingling arrived at the second level of the palace, Tuo Muzi was already seated cross-legged under a Half-Saint's Sacred Glyph . No one wanted to waste time in Divine Power Palace .

Huang Yanchen and Duanmu Xingling were respectively practicing under the Wind Half-Saint's Sacred Glyph and the Icing Half-Saint's Sacred Glyph .

Zhang Ruochen finally picked one glyph, where 10 stars were painted in a straight line and connected like a string of pearls .

It was an incredibly ordinary painting . If it wasn't in the palace, no one would be able to tell it was a Half-Saint's Sacred Glyph .

He read the words carved on the bottom left corner of the glyph: "Half-Saint Xue Wan Sword, leave behind the True Thought . "

Every single word was full of power, as if they were carved using a metallic sword .

He sat cross-legged underneath the glyph, focusing on it as he calmed himself down .

Something boomed inside his mind after a minute passed and everything went dark before his eyes .

When his vision returned, he found himself lying on the cold and dark land paved with grass . 10 stars floated above his head in a row as they did in the painting .

"Is this the world within the glyph?"

He gradually smiled . He didn't feel even the tiniest of fear as he had once entered the world within a glyph to practice his Spiritual Power . He knew clearly that he had entered the glyph mentally through his Spiritual Power, not physically .

"Boom!"

The 10 stars floating in the sky lit up with a dazzling splendor and became light beams that shined on him .

He felt the weight on his shoulder doubling when each of the light beams hit him . When all 10 light beams fell on his body, it felt so heavy that it was like 10 massive mountains were pressing on him .

"Such a powerful Spiritual Determination!"

He kept his feet pressed firmly on the ground as the center of his gravity sunk . His knees bent as he took on the pressure . It was so unimaginably heavy that both his feet were digging into the ground .

Just as he had finally stabilized himself, a man dressed in white fell from the sky and lunged at Zhang Ruochen with his sword .

"Clash!"

With a thrust of the man's sword, thousands of sword shadows emerged .

The shadows merged into a white light sword that pierced into Zhang Ruochen's heart .

"Boom!"

Zhang Ruochen activated his Spiritual Power to create a sword in his hand . He slashed hard at the white light sword, shattering it into strands of white smoke .

A knowing smile appeared on the face of the man in white . "You still managed to produce a sword and destroy my attack under the pressure of the 10 stars . Your Spiritual Power has reached level 30 at least . This Rubbings Scroll won't be of any help to you . You should leave!"

Swoosh!

A white light flashed .

Zhang Ruochen's Spiritual Power was forced out of the glyph .

"Your Spiritual Power has reached level 30!" A sweet and melodious female voice drifted from behind him .

Shocked, he turned around and saw a woman dressed in white standing three steps away from him .

She was beautiful with a tall and slim figure . She stood behind him elegantly, her bright eyes focused on the 10 stars of the Half-Saint True Thought Painting . She looked deep in thought, though he wasn't sure about what .

Zhang Ruochen stood up to greet Luo Shuihan . "Greetings to Senior Sister Luo . "

She looked into his eyes and said, "I knew you didn't show your full capability when you tested your Spiritual Power the second time . I'm curious . What's your exact level?"

Zhang Ruochen laughed . "There's really no hiding from you . "

"Follow me to the third level of Divine Power Palace!"

Luo Shuihan's voice was placid as she walked toward the third level of the palace, her flawless figure swaying gently . The subtle and delicate fragrance coming off her seemed as if it could stay in the air forever, making people drunk with infatuation .

Zhang Ruochen followed after her up the stairs . "I heard you're the only one who can enter the third level . "

She asked, "Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"There's an authentic Half-Saint's Sacred Glyph hanging on the third level . I brought it here from the Luo household," she said .

Zhang Ruochen's footsteps halted and he said calmly, "Since you brought the Half-Saint's Sacred Glyph from your home, that's your personal treasure . I better not go up . "

She turned around and looked into his eyes . "Zhang Ruochen, there's something you need to understand . Since it's my personal treasure, I have the right to invite you to practice together . You're the only one out of the entire Western Campus that qualifies to do so . "

"I'm impressed by your generosity," said Zhang Ruochen .

When they arrived at the third level of the palace, they immediately spotted the Half-Saint's Sacred Glyph hanging in the middle of the wall .

Though it looked similar to the other Golden Foil Paintings, it was inherently different from the Rubbing Scrolls . Zhang Ruochen could feel a massive pressure coming from the glyph just by standing close to it . The pressure was so great that it was suffocating .

He walked under it and lifted his head to observe the glyph in detail . Water currents were drawn on the painting where creeks were linked to brooks, brooks to rivers, rivers to streams, streams to the sea .

There were at least thousands of creeks, hundreds of brooks, tens of rivers, and nine streams on the glyph .

The nine streams gathered before flowing into the sea .

"There is the glyph that my ancestor, Luo Xu, created when he reached the Half-Saint realm . It's said that this glyph not only contains his Spiritual Determination but his powerful Martial Arts as well . Unfortunately, none of the many talented Martial Artists from the Luo family in the last 200 years was able to comprehend the Martial Arts inside this glyph," said Luo Shuihan regretfully .
