Half-Saint’s Light was indeed the soul of a Half-Saint.

When the Half-Saint was still alive, he could control the Divine Soul through his body. After he died, he could then utilize the blood of the Half-Saint and retrieve the Half-Saint’s Light.

In fact, even if Zhang Ruochen obtained the blood of the Golden Cloud Half-Saint, it was not an easy task to reclaim the Half-Saint’s Light inside of Lu Han’s body. He would need to apply secret spell.

In general, only warriors of the Heaven Realm could assemble the Half-Saint’s Light with the help of the Half-Saint’s Blood. The reason behind that was that it would need to employ the power of the Martial Soul during the process of displaying the secret spell.

Only warriors whose martial cultivation had reached the Heaven Realm would be able to practice the Martial Soul.

Since Zhang Ruochen had opened up the Vessel of Spirit, he could perform the power of the Martial Soul by communicating with it. Therefore, he could also function the secret spell.

Zhang Ruochen placed the Spiritual Crystal with fire nature on the ice surface.

He injected Genuine Qi into the Spiritual Crystal, which started burning right away and evolved into a massive fireball. Under the high temperature of the blazing fire, the ice melted unceasingly.

Two hours had passed. Merely a thin layer of Ice Crystals left on the bones of the elderly man.

Zhang Ruochen retrieved the Spiritual Crystal and released a palm toward the bones. The surface of the Ice Crystals had cracked out tiny fine lines.

“Boom!”

The Ice Crystals were shattered.

A substantial Saint Power descended from the body of the elderly man. It hurled Zhang Ruochen out that he fell 30 meters away.

Such dense Spiritual Blood spewed out from the elderly man’s body and it formed a blood cloud. Every wisp of Spiritual Blood looked like a scaly snake sliding in the air as it let out a deafening sound.

The Blood Meridian of the Half-Saint was extremely forceful as if the Saint Power had melted into the blood. Even though 500 years had passed, none of its activity had been lost.

“That is undoubtedly the skeleton of Golden Cloud Half-Saint.”

Zhang Ruochen stared at the Spiritual Blood flowing in the air, and he could finally figure out that the identity of the skeleton was Half-Saint of the Human Clan who had died 500 years ago.

He took out a jade bottle and placed it on the ground.

At the same time, he released the Space Domain, which covered an 80-meter space around him. It completely engulfed all the Spiritual Blood and condensed into drops of blood.

A wisp of Spiritual Blood condensed into one drop of the Half-Saint’s Blood.

Zhang Ruochen spent exactly three days in order to compress every drop of Spiritual Blood. In the end, he compressed the Spiritual Blood into 64 drops of Half-Saint’s Blood, which he stored inside the jade bottle.

The value of one drop of Half-Saint’s Blood was 10 times greater than one drop of Half-Saint’s Essence.

Undoubtedly, having 64 drops of Half-Saint’s Blood was regarded as a massive fortune.

If other people rumbled that Zhang Ruochen owned such large amounts of Half-Saint’s Blood, it was definitely going to get him killed. Even the warriors of the Heaven Realm would make every effort to kill him.

“500 years have passed. Most of the blood inside Golden Cloud Half-Saint’s body has already decayed, leaving only 64 drops of blood with strong activity. I guess if I didn’t compress the last 64 drops, it would all be decayed in 10 more years.”

After gathering the Half-Saint’s Blood, Zhang Ruochen saluted out of courtesy toward the skeleton of Golden Cloud Half-Saint in the giant pit.

Then, Zhang Ruochen buried the skeleton of Golden Cloud Half-Saint and made a gravestone out of the massive stones. He carved: “The grave of Golden Cloud Half-Saint”.

He did not plan to leave now and decided to stay at the bottom of Haunted-mist Mountain. He thought that it might be a good idea to leave after elevating his martial cultivation to the Completion of the Black Realm.

Zhang Ruochen had eaten eight Three Leaf Holy Clover plants and 5 kilograms of Spiritual Brawn before falling down through the hole, so he had only refined one-fifth of the Saint Power and Spiritual Power.

In order to break through to the Completion of the Black Realm, he would need to fully refine the remaining Saint Power and Spiritual Power and assimilate them into his body to empower his physical strength.

Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm was being practiced.

“When I’m practicing Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm, I have to mobilize the power of every inch of my muscles and bones. My body will only absorb the Saint Power and Spiritual Power at its fastest speed under constant vigorous exercise.”

Zhang Ruochen had already practiced the first four palms of the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm to the Realm of the Succeed. He could start practicing the fifth palm, Nine-folds of Elephant Power.

Nine-folds of Elephant Power was even more powerful and incredible compared to the first four palms.

If Zhang Ruochen stroked out a palm with full power now, it was equal to the full power of an ordinary warrior at the Mid Stage of the Earth Realm.

If he practiced Nine-folds of Elephant Power to the Succeed and released nine palms in a row, he could accumulate the power of nine palms and explode an attacking power that was nine times stronger.

When Zhang Ruochen practiced this palm technique to the Succeed, Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm would be advanced to the martial technique at the mid-class of the Spiritual Stage. Moreover, the power this palm technique erupted was classified as a martial technique of the Superior class of the Spiritual Stage.

Indeed, it was so difficult to practice Nine-folds of Elephant Power that it required days of continuous practice.

Standing in the pitch-black underground, the Genuine Qi in Zhang Ruochen’s body was running rapidly, forcing the power of each of his Meridians and Blood Meridian, every inch of muscle, and every piece of bone to all surge toward his arms.

The power of his entire body gathered at his arms, which were completely covered by the Genuine Qi and had been turned white.

“Nine-folds of Elephant Power!”

Zhang Ruochen stroked out nine consecutive palms and maintained his arms on the same horizontal line.

The nine palms were combined into one strand, struck out at the same time, and hit the thick stone wall.

“Bang! Bang!”

The sound of nine palms smacking arose and left a nine-inch-deep palm impression in the stone wall.

The power of the nine palms was totally separated so that none of them overlayed one another and, therefore, nine sounds of loud smashing were sent out. If they had overlapped each other, only one striking smash would have broken out.

“It’s going to be very hard if I want to overlap the power of the nine palms together and combine them into one! No, I can’t do it! If I keep practicing under this condition, I’ll never practice Nine-folds of Elephant Power.”

“Let’s try to combine the first two palms together.”

Zhang Ruochen once again activated his Genuine Qi and struck two palms out in a row at his fastest speed.

“Bang! Bang!”

The sound of two palms resounded and left a two-inch-deep pit in the stone wall.

Although the prints of both palms were scattered, the streaking time between the two palms prints was extremely subtle. Without listening carefully
