1512 Inheritance

"This is what I owe you... Cough Cough…"

Sword Saint Jiuyou took out a purple stone and gave it to Zhang Ruochen.

Sword Saint Jiuyou felt extreme pain whenever he moved his muscles. He couldn't help coughing, looking to be in pain. He had to sit down to take a pill, mobilizing his exercises to heal himself.

Zhang Ruochen took the purple stone. He saw a layer of saint light covering the stone.

The saint light seemed to belong to Sword Saint Jiuyou, and it seemed that it was used to suppress the power contained in the purple stone.

Bang!

Zhang Ruochen released saint power from his fingers, crushing the saint light covering the purple stone.

Engravings emerged on the surface of the purple stone as the saint light cracked. It started to shake as if it had consciousness and didn't want to be controlled by Zhang Ruochen.

"Refine."

Divine Fire Jingmie gushed out of Zhang Ruochen and started to refine the purple stone.

Soon, Lord Lingquan's saint power and saint intent left on the engravings all melted.

The purple stone turned tranquil, and a cold force came out of the stone.

"What is this? Is it a natural stone or made?"

Zhang Ruochen pinched the purple stone and observed it closely.

The purple stone wasn't that transparent. Instead, there were impurities, and there were also engravings filling the stone as if they were veins of human beings.

Lord Lingquan was able to perform in a way that was stronger than his cultivation, and after his turning the purple stone into the purple godly mountain, he was able to freeze the space with it.

That purple stone was priceless just for these two features.

Zhang Ruochen mobilized the saint Qi inside his body and infused it into the purple stone, and after a while, the purple light became brighter and brighter, covering Zhang Ruochen's hands.

Zhang Ruochen started to observe the purple stone again.

The engravings inside the stone didn't change much. However, there were purple light spots emerging among those engravings.

Zhang Ruochen grabbed the purple stone and waved his fist.

Boom!

A purple fist print hit the Honghua Vines, releasing tremendous energy ripples.

However, there were also formation inscriptions on the Honghua Vines, so they didn't break because of that.

"What an incredible treasure. My fist power just surged."

Zhang Ruochen smiled, as he was satisfied.

The purple stone could not only increase the power of the user, but also give out purple light that was akin to the origin of Gods.

Zhang Ruochen then mobilized his saint Qi and infused it into the purple stone.

The engravings in the purple stone started to gleam, and the light coming out of the stone became brighter and brighter. Zhang Ruochen wasn't able to hold that power in his hand anymore.

The purple stone flew out of Zhang Ruochen's hand and turned into a purple godly mountain.

And the space that was already very solid became even more so, so that even Zhang Ruochen wasn't able to tear it apart.

He only put it away after testing the purple at all statuses.

"Congratulations on obtaining a true treasure, my lord," Demonic Sound said.

"It's indeed a wonderful treasure. I think it can do more than just improving my power and freezing the space. I'll study it further after getting back to Heaven World."

Zhang Ruochen walked toward Yin and Yang Lake with his hands behind his back.

None of the heavenly maidens dared stop Zhang Ruochen, as they were all intimidated by him as if he were a devil.

Sword Saint Jiuyou was one of the top-tier saints in Kunlun's Field, and Zhang Ruochen showed his tremendous power by defeating Sword Saint Jiuyou.

Who wouldn't be intimidated by that power?

There were only a few saint kings in Kunlun's Field, and each of them was a prominent overlord.

Obviously, Zhang Ruochen also had that kind of power now.

Mu Lingxi stood on the hundred-year-old Pluto Winter Water. Her clothes and shoes were all wet.

There was a pair of phoenix wings glowing. With her performing her techniques, there was Pluto Winter Water flowing inside her body.

There were cracking sounds coming out of both Mu Lingxi's and Martial Saint Canglan's bodies. It was a test for both of their bodies.

The test was an excruciating process for both of them. Each moment was a torment of life or death for them. They wouldn't be able to withstand it if they didn't have strong enough willpower.

Impurities kept coming out of their bodies and got into Yin and Yang Lake.

"They need to temper their bodies first if they want to withstand the inheritance of Ice and Fire Phoenix, otherwise their bodies will explode the second the inheritance falls on them," the Saint Lady said.

Zhang Ruochen said, "Which level can they attain?"

"Sub-Complete Body Constitution," the Saint Lady said.

Supreme Complete Body Constitution, Complete Body Constitution, and Sub-Complete Body Constitution were three different levels.

The Saint Lady said, "Only supreme saints who have attained Peak Realm can help temper the bodies of monks to Sub-Complete Body Constitution. Ice and Fire Phoenix was a Peak-Realm supreme saint, and its power was stored at the shore of Yin and Yang Lake, and that power is more than enough to help them attain Sub-Complete Body Constitution.

"Refiners' talents and willpower also determine whether they can reach Sub-Complete Body Constitution or not, otherwise, they might get killed instead of attaining Sub-Complete Body Constitution.

"Her majesty once paid a huge price to help the nine heirs attain Sub-Complete Body Constitution."

The power of the nine heirs could probably rival that of Sword Master Dongliu and Wu Hao, especially Monk Lidi and Xue Wuye. If they also had the same cultivation, they might be able to defeat them.

Zhang Ruochen's eyes glinted coldly, and he said, "The last sentence is what you really wanted to say, isn't it?"

The Saint Lady thought for a while, as she felt that she'd said something she shouldn't have said in front of Zhang Ruochen. "Zhang Ruochen, her majesty might've done something unfair to you, but she's in no way a bad person. She's contributed a lot to Kunlun's Field, and I know there're some complications between you two."

"Enough! Don't even try to bring her up in front of me." Zhang Ruochen stopped the Saint Lady from continuing.

The Saint Lady knew that the empress was a triggering spot for Zhang Ruochen, and anyone who mentioned that would cause him pain, so she sighed and stopped staying anything about it,

The two women in Yin and Yang Ocean kept improving their body constitution, and they walked toward the Thousand-year Pluto Winter Water and lower-mie Divine Fire Jingmie.

With their body constitution getting close to Sub-complete level, saintly way rules flew out of the phoenix that were the size of palms at the center of the lake, and they rushed into the phoenix wings of Mu Lingxi and Martial Saint Canglan.

Obviously, the pressure and pain they were enduring became more and more sereve, and their bodies were shivering the entire time. They started to bleed, and the spot where their wings and back were connected was torn.

Ahhh!

Both Mu Lingxi and Martial Saint Canglan started to scream in agony.

"Please hold onto it! Please succeed!"

Zhang Ruochen took a look at the crystal at the center of the lake, and he saw that the phoenix in the crystal was quickly shrinking, and all the saint power and saintly way rules were gushing toward Mu Lingxi and Martial Saint Canglan.

Whoosh!

When the energies surged, the water in Yin ang Yang Lake started to spin like a Taichi Diagram.

The power coming from the diagram was enormous, and everyone stepped so that they wouldn't be sucked inside.

Boom!

After fifteen minutes, the Taichi Diagram crumbled, releasing two traces of gleaming light and two phoenix sounds.

"She did it! Sister Canglan did it!"

"Sister Canglan's cultivation will definitely surge after getting the inheritance of Ice and Fire Phoenix!"

All the eight heavenly maidens were exhilarated not just because they were close to Martial Saint Canglan, but also as they could integrate their bodies with her.

Martial Saint Canglan getting the inheritance of Ice and Fire Phoenix meant all the nine heavenly maidens obtained it.

Mu Lingxi and Martial Saint Canglan flew out, flapping their glowing and beautiful wings.

Martial Saint Canglan's wings were engulfed in blue Divine Fire Jingmie, and they looked like a stove that could burn everything in the world.

As for Mu Lingxi's wings, they were giving out the Power of Pluto Ice, freezing the ground under her, and she had become a pinnacle absolute saint.

Most of the hereditary power from Ice and Fire Phoenix was stored in their wings, and only one ten thousandths of it merged with their body.

It would take them at least a hundred years to completely absorb the inheritance of Ice and Fire Phoenix.

Mu Lingxi and Martial Saint Canglan weren't able to master the surging power in their bodies yet. Divine Fire Jingmie and Power of Pluto Ice kept gushing out of their bodies, and the people around the didn't dare approach them.

Zhang Ruochen walked to Mu Lingxi and said, "Get into the inner space of the Time and Space Crystal and study the power of Ice and Fire Phoenix. I suggest you come out only after you can use the power at your will."

"Sure thing," Mu Lingxi said while walking into the Time and Space Crystal.

"Let's go."

Zhang Ruochen waved at Demonic Sound and prepared to leave.

"Are you really leaving with the Merits Record Wall, Zhang Ruochen?" Martial Saint Canglan yelled. A mighty force came out of her body, and with the burning Divine Fire Jingmie coming from her wings, she looked like a ferocious phoenix.

Zhang Ruochen shot a glance at her and said, "You had a hard time getting the inheritance of Ice and Fire Phoenix. Cherish your life."

"How dare you…"

Martial Saint Canglan was very bad-tempered, and after hearing that, her eyes turned into balls of fire. She grabbed Fentian Sword and stabbed toward Zhang Ruochen.

Divine Fire Jingmie gushed out of her phoenix wings, which merged with Fentian Sword, making the power from the sword surge.

Zhang Ruochen grabbed the purple stone, turned around and waved it against Martial Saint Canglan.

Boom!

The purple fist and the tip of Fentian Sword clashed with each other, and the purple fist knocked Martial Saint Canglan away.

Fentian Sword flew out, and Martial Saint Canglan's arm was covered in blood, and she spat out blood after falling on the ground, unable to stand up anymore.

"Don't be too arrogant. It's better for you to spend more time studying the saintly way of Ice and Fire Phoenix."

Zhang Ruochen left with Demonic Sound and Merits Record Wall, and nobody dared to stop him.
