Chapter 637
Even though Orange Star Emissary swore to the gods and claimed that she would not reveal Zhang Ruochen's identity, Zhang Ruochen understood that letting her return to the Black Market would be risky .
Of course, Zhang Ruochen had his own ideas .
The worst case scenario was Orange Star Emissary spreading the news that Zhang Ruochen, the Time and Space Descendant, was not dead . But if he did not show himself, how many people would trust her unsubstantiated words?
People were more willing to believe Wan Zhaoyi than a siren from the Black Market . After all, Wan Zhaoyi did witness the Nine Serenity Sword Saint killing Zhang Ruochen .
Was Wan Zhaoyi more credible or Orange Star Emissary?
Therefore, even the worst case would not be much of a loss to Zhang Ruochen .
On the other hand, Zhang Ruochen could use this opportunity to test Orange Star Emissary's loyalty . If she really was loyal, Zhang Ruochen would have little to worry about the next time he come into contact with the Murong family .
If she divulged Zhang Ruochen's identity, he would know how to deal with her . He would make her behave herself .
Finally, Orange Star Emissary left by herself . After nearly half a day, Blackie and Greedy Rabbit carried a charred body back .
"BAM!" Greedy Rabbit threw the body on the ground .
Although the corpse was mangled, Zhang Ruochen could still make out an indistinct face . He could tell it was Lin Yue, the Yin and Yang Sect disciple .
Zhang Ruochen searched the body and soon found an oval token made of white jade .
One side was engraved, "Yin and Yang Sect . "
The reverse was engraved, "Lin Yue . "
It was the token of an inner disciple from the Yin and Yang Sect .
Although Blackie had already guessed Zhang Ruochen's intention, he wanted confirmation . So, he asked, "Zhang Ruochen, what do you want with this corpse you made us bring back?"
Zhang Ruochen grasped the token and his lips curved into a smile . "When my cultivation reaches the Fourth Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm, I will let you know . Guoguo, take the body, find a burial ground with good fengshui, and bury it . After all, his death has something to do with me . "
Greedy Rabbit lifted Lin Yue's body and dashed away . He dug a huge hole and buried the body .
Zhang Ruochen stared at Blackie and said, "I've already cultivated to the Peak of the Third Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm . Now, I'm aiming to break into the Fourth Change . I need to cultivate my first Holy Meridian, the Yinyu Holy Meridian . Blackie, your cultivation within the Yin Yang Wooden Graph is very high, since your power isn't sealed there, right? Can you act as my guide and help me cultivate the Meridian?"
If he borrowed the power of the Dragon Pearl, Zhang Ruochen could cultivate the first Holy Meridian himself . But great risks were involved . He could easily endanger his life if he was not careful .
Besides, if someone wanted to cultivate the First Meridian himself, he needed to spend much time fortifying his body, practicing Genuine Qi, and consolidating his power . This would take even more time .
Since a master like Blackie was around, why not use him?
Blackie's eyes instantly widened, and he took two steps back . He looked a little embarrassed and coughed twice drily . "Actually . . . actually . . . my cultivation . . . is of course very strong . But my cultivation is integrated with the Scroll World . Within the Scroll World, I can mobilize the power of its entire world . But my personal power . . . hasn't reached that of a Half-Saint yet . "
Dark furrows appeared on Zhang Ruochen's forehead . "What do you mean?"
"My present cultivation is the same level as yours . I can't help you," replied Blackie .
The black furrows on Zhang Ruochen's forehead became more distinct . "So you've just been bragging the whole time . You call yourself the King of Slaughter . What a joke . "
"Zhang Ruochen, let me warn you not to talk nonsense . I am indeed very powerful within the Scroll World . I can mobilize its power easily . One thought of mine can overturn oceans, and a stamp of my foot can crumble the earth . And I used to be so powerful . If it weren't for that old bald Buddhist monk . . . hey, hear me out before you go!" Blackie was ranting .
Zhang Ruochen immediately turned and went away . He could not be bothered with Blackie, and he smiled to himself . "You need to depend on yourself to practice, after all . "
When Blackie heard Zhang Ruochen's words, he went mad with rage . He clenched his teeth, rolled on the ground, bit the grass, kicked the stones, and kept meowing furiously .
Zhang Ruochen finally realized that Blackie was merely the Vessel Spirit of the Yin Yang Wooden Graph .
When a Vessel Spirit was within a Holy Weapon, it had absolute power . But once it left the vessel, its power depended entirely on the owner of the vessel .
The stronger the owner of the vessel, the stronger the Vessel Spirit .
If its owner was weak, the Spirit would be weak as well .
Since Blackie was a Vessel Spirit, he could not help Zhang Ruochen cultivate his first Holy Meridian . Zhang Ruochen could only start accumulating his power until he broke into the Fourth Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm by himself .
"I'm afraid I need to retreat and practice for a long time . "
Zhang Ruochen came to the Sacred Prime Tree and sat under it, his legs tucked beneath him . He ran Genuine Qi around his body according to the training exercises recorded in the Scripture of Emperor Ming's Empyrean .
Since he had already reached the Peak of the Third Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm, Zhang Ruochen did not need to practice anymore . On the hand, he needed to consolidate his cultivation, refine his Genuine Qi, and merge it with his flesh, blood, skeleton, and internal organs .
Zhang Ruochen spent six hours each day consolidating his cultivation and fortifying his Genuine Qi .
