Chapter 710: 710
A Half-Saint's Light was pure energy . If absorbed into the Meridians, it would automatically turn into Holy Qi .
By running exercises, Zhang Ruochen's blood, bones, and internal organs absorbed the Half-Saint's Light simultaneously, which in turn continually condensed and strengthened his physical power .
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a special light surged into Zhang Ruochen's brain and turned into a large amount of memory and knowledge . Like a huge tidal wave, Zhang Ruochen felt his brain get flooded and almost swallowed by the surge of knowledge and memory .
"This is . . . Qi Hong's memory and knowledge . "
Zhang Ruochen's face brightened .
Whenever a Half-Saint dies, the memory in his Divine Soul would usually dissipate within an extremely short period of time .
The reason Qi Hong's memory appeared in Zhang Ruochen's mind was that Zhang Ruochen had taken away Qi Hong's Half-Saint's Light as soon as he passed away . He was thus able to retain Qi Hong's memory and knowledge .
It was impossible for other monks to gain the knowledge and memory of Half-Saints even if they were to refine their Half-Saint's Light .
However, this was not the case for Zhang Ruochen because he had practiced the "Scripture of Emperor Ming's Empyrean" and managed to open "Vessel of Spirit," which was one of the thirty-six Meridians .
It was precisely because Zhang Ruochen had the Vessel of Spirit that Qi Hong's knowledge and memory could pass through to the Vessel of Spirit and enter his mind when he refined the Half-Saint's Light .
There were very few warriors who could open the Vessel of Spirit . Even Zhang Ruochen in his previous life had not succeeded in doing that .
Having lived for over a hundred years, Qi Hong had many valuable memories . His knowledge was very precious . Among them, there were his perceptions regarding his practices and cultivation as well as his understanding of the Holy Road and the Tao of the sword .
A large part of this memory was not very useful . Not only would it not do Zhang Ruochen any good if he absorbed all of it, but it may even be harmful .
With strong Spiritual Power, Zhang Ruochen temporarily sealed the light containing the memory and knowledge .
He was set on taking some time to digest Qi Hong's knowledge once he managed to leave this medieval relic so he could search the messages in Qi Hong's memory .
In the seven days that followed, Zhang Ruochen absorbed most of the Half-Saint's Light . This enabled him to open the "Holy Meridian of the Yang," which was the fourth holy meridian . This, in turn, helped him to break through to the Seventh Change in the Fish-dragon Realm .
He had by now successfully opened the four holy meridians leading to all four of his limbs .
The level of his cultivation increased by leaps and bounds .
As Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged, he clearly felt the four holy meridians coming together and rushing toward the Qi Sea between his brows, propping up the Qi Sea like four pillars .
"Swoosh!"
The four holy meridians started running simultaneously and forming a powerful suction force .
Within three breaths, the four holy meridians successfully absorbed the remnant of the Half-Saint's Light in the Auspicious Vase . The energy took an entire day running in Zhang Ruochen's body before it completely turned into his own Holy Qi .
"The Seventh Change in the Fish-dragon Realm is like a threshold . Once it has been broken through, the Holy Qi in the body will increase exponentially to more than ten times that of the Sixth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm . "
Based on the strength of the Holy Qi in Zhang Ruochen's body, he could change and maintain his appearance for up to six months without exhausting his Holy Qi .
In other words, he did not have to worry about having his identity exposed due to shortage of Holy Qi . Furthermore, with the level of his cultivation elevated and with sufficient Holy Qi, Zhang Ruochen was able to control the Change of 36 Forms accurately and perfectly .
The Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm were thresholds for all Holy Road Monks .
The Seventh Change in the Fish-dragon Realm enabled the holy meridian to flow through the four limbs . Once Holy Qi flowed through to both arms and both legs, the monk's speed would increase greatly and he would be able to deploy Holy Qi with much more ease .
Moreover, the Holy Qi would increase greatly upon breaking through to this realm . He would be able to deploy Holy Qi and fully utilize the power within his Holy Weapon .
The Holy Qi in a monk who had reached the Sixth Change of the Fish-dragon Realm was sparse in comparison . It would be impossible to unleash the full power of his Holy Weapon .
The Eighth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm was yet another threshold for a monk . The last holy meridian called "Spirit Boosting Saint Being" would open, and by then, all of the monk's Holy Qi would be gathered together to make a complete form . The monk's capability will once again increase by leaps and bounds .
The Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm would enable one to practice and attain the "Glazed Treasured Body . " Once the treasured body was attained, it would greatly benefit a regular monk . His life expectancy alone would be extended by fifty years .
For Saintly Beings and monks with special physical qualities, the Glazed Treasured Body was not significantly beneficial .
"Based on my current level of cultivation, I can now counter an attack from a first level Half-Saint . " A faint smile broke on Zhang Ruochen's face .
The Half-Saint realm was exceedingly mystifying . It was filled with boundless mysteries .
Even among Half-Saints, there was a distinction between stronger and weaker Half-Saints . The gaps between them could be significant as well . Some accomplished first level Half-Saints were much more powerful than the novices who had just broken through to the level .
It was common knowledge that even Saintly Beings who had reached the Half-Saint realm could only transcend one or two realms to fight other Half-Saints . This showed that there was a significant difference in power between the strong and the weak .
Zhang Ruochen, with his current level of cultivation, would be able to fight a weaker first level Half-Saint, however, he would have to run for his life if he came across an accomplished first level Half-Saint .
