The Eternal God Emperor Begins from the First Realm Breakthrough

Chapter 172 Ten Sails Race
In the realm of truth, inside the temple of the lawless.

Yin Yuanchen has been in seclusion for many days, and his energy and spirit have been elevated to an unprecedented state.

Truth, light, witch, life, death, killing, flowing light, shadow, and water, the nine holy ways have all reached the perfection of the Holy King level and cultivated one million holy rules.

Around him, there is also a long river formed by the rules of the Holy Path, representing that he has also stepped into the realm of great perfection of the Holy King.

With the help of the Dao stele in the Nine Absolutes Divine Tower, the secret method passed down to him by Afuya, and the special training environment in the Daoless Palace, he successfully reached the highest level of the Holy King Realm, achieved the Great Perfection of the Holy King, and achieved the Nine Perfections, which was only one step away from Yan Wushen.

"I have reached the pinnacle of the Saint King realm. Next, I will break through to the Great Sage realm."

Yin Yuanchen had no attachment to the Saint King Realm, and the Kunlun Realm's Battlefield of Merit did not hold much appeal to him. No matter how many treasures he had, they could not compare to the improvement brought about by his own cultivation realm.

In just a moment, Yin Yuanchen began to strive for the Great Sage level.

Chen Ping, who had returned from the Space Temple, naturally noticed the changes in Yin Yuanchen and felt slightly relieved.

After his training, Yin Yuanchen's foundation in this life is much better than in the original time and space. His grandfather was the Great Perfection of the Holy King, and even the True God Xuanyi could not do it.

After becoming a great sage, the next step was to condense and integrate the holy will. In the original time and space, he could condense the second-grade perfect holy will and become a Yuanhui-level genius.

In this life, Chen Ping is confident that he can cultivate him to a higher level. The first-grade holy will cannot be cultivated, but the pseudo-first-grade or double-second-grade holy will can be cultivated. Not to mention catching up with Yan Wushen, there is a good chance that he can reach the level of Xue Jue Huangtian.

Withdrawing his attention from Yin Yuanchen, Chen Ping returned his focus to the Yu Ding in front of him. Inside the cauldron was a furnace of magical pills made from three purple-hearted Tianzun orchids, dozens of magical medicines, and countless treasures and divine materials.

Refined personally by the 96th-level spiritual power ancestor, when this furnace of divine pills comes into the world, the structure of the entire universe will undergo tremendous changes.

Tianzunlan can achieve Tianzun, but the furnace of divine pills he refined can raise the upper limit of Tianzunlan. The best of them can be called... Half-Ancestor Divine Pill.

……

Time flies, and several years pass in the blink of an eye.

Countless figures gathered on the Sea of ​​Truth. This was already one of the most popular places in the Realm of Truth, and today, several top figures from the Saint King realm of the Heavenly Court gathered here.

Zhang Ruochen was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with Feng Yan and Xiang Chunan beside him. Eyes from the shore fell on him, some with admiration, some with jealousy.

After several years, Yin Yuanchen broke through to the Great Sage realm and became a thing of the past. Zhang Ruochen rose strongly and took his place.

Although Yan Wushen achieved the Great Perfection of the Saint King, he did not break through to the Great Sage realm immediately. In the past few years, he still stayed in the Kunlun Realm, plundering resources as if he was in an empty place. Even the Four Heavenly Kings combined could not match him.

Only Zhang Ruochen had fought against him in front of the Central Empire's imperial city not long ago, and defeated him at the cost of being seriously injured, thus establishing his position as the number one person under the Great Sage of Heaven. However, there is still a gap between him and Yan Wushen.

Today, he came to the Sea of ​​Truth with the intention of breaking through the tenth layer of the Sea of ​​Truth to obtain the supreme reward at the end of the sea, in order to impact the realm of the Great Perfection of the Holy King and compete with Yan Wushen.

In addition to the three brothers, there are several powerful people at the first level below the Great Sage on the beach.

Archangel King Michael from the Heaven Realm, Nie Xiangzi from the Temple of Truth, Ao Xukong from the Dragon Realm, Zhen Yuan from the Five Elements Temple, Fairy Cihang from the Western Paradise Buddhist Realm, and others.

Archangel King Michael and Ao Xukong are both veteran strong men, and they are always ranked in the top ten of the Saint King Merit List. Nie Xiangzi was originally a strong man of the first level under the Great Sage. In the past few years, his cultivation has been further improved. He is a leader among the strong men of the first level under the Great Sage, and even surpasses Michael and Ao Xukong. Half a year ago, he joined forces with the Four Heavenly Kings to fight against Yan Wushen. Although he was defeated, he escaped unscathed.

It is rumored that during the trip to the Nine Absolutes Divine Tower, a total of seventeen people passed the test, and Nie Xiangzi was one of them. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why he could make such a great progress and undergo such a transformation in his cultivation.

Nie Xiangzi didn't care about the rumors from the outside world. He had already reported all the information in the Nine Absolutes Divine Tower to the Lord of Truth and the Lord of No Way. With these two people endorsing him, what did he have to fear?
His transformation was indeed inseparable from the help of the treasure he obtained from the Nine Absolute Divine Tower. With the help of that treasure, he successfully condensed the most advanced realm of the four realms of the Temple of Truth, the Boundless Truth of the Universe, and combined it with his famous skill "Star-Picking Hand", he elevated the Way of Truth and the Way of Palm to the perfect level of the Saint King.

Looking around, among the powerful Saint Kings in the world today, except for Yan Wushen and Zhang Ruochen, he is confident of defeating any one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Fairy Cihang and Zhenyuan were also geniuses who had risen rapidly in recent years like Zhang Ruochen. However, they were not as dazzling as Zhang Ruochen, so they were looked down upon. However, their strength should not be underestimated.

During the trip to the Nine Absolutes Divine Tower, the two of them passed the test and became outer disciples of the Longevity Sect, receiving treasures bestowed by the Longevity Sect.

Zhen Yuan is the leader of the Five Elements Temple. He has a high talent for the Five Elements, but he has a body without gold. He is destined to be unable to cultivate the perfect Five Elements. However, the treasure he obtained in the Nine Absolutes Divine Tower gave him a chance to turn things around.

With the help of that treasure, plus the five elements of earth in the Five Elements Temple and the personal efforts of the master of the Five Elements Temple, he has now broken his fate, shaped the Five Elements Xuanhuang Body, completed the five elements, and will be qualified for Yuanhui in the future.

Fairy Cihang already possessed a formidable foundation. She was the reincarnation of Kasyapa Buddha and a spirit from the Pure Land. Even without the Nine Absolute Divine Pagoda, she was still a top-tier genius. With the treasures bestowed by the Nine Absolute Divine Pagoda, her cultivation speed was even more astonishing, rivaling even freaks like Zhang Ruochen. Although Zhen Yuan had mastered the Five Elements Xuanhuang Body, he wasn't necessarily her match.

Soon, ten sails raced, and including Zhang Ruochen and his companions, a total of ten top Saint Kings set out together to cross the Sea of ​​Truth, causing countless cultivators on the shore to exclaim in surprise.

Zhang Ruochen's eyes were calm and peaceful as he looked at the colorful sea ahead, allowing himself to quickly calm down.

Since the Lord of the Palace of Truth established the rules for crossing the sea, a total of thirteen people have crossed the tenth layer of the Sea of ​​Truth in the past hundreds of thousands of years, but they were all Great Saints, and no one had ever reached the Saint King realm.

Today, Zhang Ruochen will be the first one to do so.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, the boat of truth under his feet was like an arrow shot from a bow, moving forward rapidly, cutting through the waves without being affected in the slightest.

The ten people who crossed the sea were all outstanding saint kings of the time, with impressive attainments in the way of truth. Even the weakest one had the strength to cross the eighth level of the sea.

Soon, ten figures sank into the depths of the Sea of ​​Truth and disappeared from the eyes of countless people on the shore.

The further into the sea, the harder it was to cross, and the slower the progress. It took Zhang Ruochen three days to reach the tenth layer of the sea, and Nie Xiangzi was the only one left by his side.

He looked at Nie Xiangzi in surprise. This leader of the ten divine disciples of the Temple of Truth was indeed extraordinary. Although he seemed to be indifferent to worldly affairs, his strength was the best among the younger generation of the Temple of Truth.

Of course, this does not mean that Nie Xiangzi is stronger than Zhen Yuan and Cihang Fairy. After all, these two people are not mainly practicing the path of truth. One practices the Five Elements and the other practices Buddhism. It is not surprising that they are not as good as Nie Xiangzi.

Nie Xiangzi looked at Zhang Ruochen beside him, feeling even more emotional. He had been blessed with many opportunities, but reaching this point was already his limit. He had no chance of crossing the tenth layer of the sea.

But Zhang Ruochen was still so relaxed. He might have a chance to become the first cultivator to ascend the Mountain of Truth as a Saint King.

The two of them concentrated all their energy on crossing the sea. Nie Xiangzi was halfway through sailing when he finally gave up and the boat capsized and fell into the sea, leaving Zhang Ruochen alone to continue.

It took Zhang Ruochen seven days to reach the shore of the last five miles of sea. Before him was the pitch-black Mountain of Truth.

He stepped forward and climbed all the way to the top of the sacred mountain.

There was a huge platform on the top of the mountain. In the center of the platform stood a figure in white clothes with golden patterns. Just standing there, the heaven and earth seemed to revolve around him.

An invisible force swept past, knocking Zhang Ruochen away and landing at the foot of the mountain in an instant.

Then the figure in white with golden patterns appeared in front of him. The figure gradually changed, and was replaced by the image of a middle-aged man in Confucian robes.

"Ruochen, do you still recognize me as your master?"

Zhang Ruochen looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, trying his best to remain calm.

Qingtian Shenglong once said that when his cultivation reached a certain level, his teacher would show up to see him. Now that he has crossed the Sea of ​​Truth and climbed the Mountain of Truth, has he finally met the minimum requirement for his teacher to show up to see him?
"Zhang Ruochen pays his respects to the teacher. I am incompetent, and it was only today that the teacher was willing to show himself to me."

Chen Ping smiled upon hearing this. "Looking at the world today, you are quite good. But as my disciple, being merely good is far from enough. You have Yan Wushen and Yin Yuanchen as shining examples before you. If you can't catch up with them, or even surpass them, then you are unworthy of being my disciple."

"If you pass the tenth level of the Sea of ​​Truth, you will have the chance to obtain one percent of the Mystery of Truth and become a Truth Messenger. This is the rule set by my Senior Sister, the Lord of the Palace of Truth. However, there are no more Mysteries of Truth left on the Holy Mountain of Truth. I will give you one chance. If you pass the test, I will grant you a treasure even more precious than the Mystery of Truth to help you reach the Great Perfection of the Saint King."

Zhang Ruochen's eyes lit up, "Disciple is willing to accept the test."

Chen Ping waved his hand, and the sundial flew out of Zhang Ruochen's body. Three magic stones fell on the sundial, and also flew out with it was a Tai Chi Yin-Yang compass, which was a treasure Zhang Ruochen obtained from the Nine Absolute Divine Tower.

A divine light flew out from the Mountain of Truth and landed on the compass. The patterns on the compass immediately changed, evolving into a vast starry sky and a boundless universe.

"I have combined the Way of Truth with the Yin and Yang of Tai Chi to develop a realm of truth that is most suitable for you. I will give you three years to comprehend the entire realm of truth contained within it. Once you reach the level of the boundless universe, you will have passed the test."

"The most suitable realm of truth for me is still the highest level of the boundless universe." Zhang Ruochen's eyes lit up. Although he had cultivated the Way of Truth to a very high level, he had not yet condensed the realm of truth. He was able to cross the tenth level of the Sea of ​​Truth by relying on the power of the two ways of time and space.

Being able to have the opportunity to condense the most advanced form of truth is a huge gain for him, regardless of whether he can pass the test or not.

"A disciple should give his all and never let his teacher down."
