Chapter 1371: Luo Water

Chapter 1371: Luo Water


Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio


Heavenly Devil Mountain was on the boundary of the east, bordering the Eastern Ocean and Savage Barren lands. It was a territory that was far from First Central Empire.


There were thousands of commanderies on this land. Even if they had submitted themselves to First Central Empire, they still had their own imperial governments and royalty.


There were originally thirty-six commanderies in Heavenly Devil Mountain. However, they had already been united as an upper-cla.s.s commandery, Yunwu Commandery.


Half of the territory of Yunwu Commandery was occupied by human beings, and the other half was primitive forests where almost n.o.body set foot. Only monks who practiced the martial way would enter it.


There was a river flowing between the human civilization area and the primitive forests, and the water flowed smoothly and slowly in the wide area.


It was called Luo Water.


Rumor had it that Luo Water had descended from heaven, and turned into a river, nurturing millions of people, which turned the originally infertile soil rich.


A blue boat was sailing on the water.


A man with messy hair was lying at the end of the boat, and there was a huge beard covering his face. He was holding a wine gourd and binge drinking.


An elegant girl was standing on the bow of the boat, rowing it with a bamboo pole.


That girl wasn’t just exquisite looking, but also had an extraordinary ident.i.ty. She was the greatest being in Yunwu Commandery, and she was also the sister of the commandery, Zhang Yuxi.


If people knew that she was rowing the boat for a drunkard, everyone in Yunwu Commandery would be shocked.


Zhang Yuxi looked very concerned, but she didn’t want to say anything alarming. After pondering it for a while, she said, “How long are you going to keep drinking? Are you going to be decadent forever and never pursue your saintly way anymore?”


Zhang Yuxi was glad that her ninth brother was back, but she was very concerned seeing him so beaten.


“Saintly way? What saintly way? Enjoy every day like it’s the last. Isn’t that heaps better than some saintly way? I don’t need to worry about anything, and I can just tour around, appreciating all the natural beauty. Isn’t that better than the saintly way? Even G.o.ds don’t have as good a good time as I do.”


Zhang Ruochen sipped the wine again, licked his lips and said, “the Crazy Alcoholic is indeed the master of winemaking. He’s never disappointed me.”


Zhang Yuxi sighed, as she didn’t even know how to feel.


There was mist flowing on Luo Water, which made the place look like heaven.


Zhang Ruochen finished the wine in the gourd and threw it away. He climbed up and said, “Ninth sister, I’ll teach you Fist Technique. Do you want to learn it?”


Zhang Yuxi saw that Zhang Ruochen wanted to practice fist techniques again, so her eyes gleamed, and she nodded and said, “Of course! You should’ve taught me ages ago. I want to learn every day.”


“Every day? How are you so greedy? I’ll only teach you once, so it’ll be up to you as to how much you can learn.”


Zhang Ruochen reeked of alcohol, and he was obviously wasted. His body leaned from side to side. He raised his arms and performed a fist technique. “First move, Separation of Heaven and River.”


“Second move, Nine twists.”


“Third move, Cutting Heavenly Roads.”



Zhang Yuxi saw Zhang Ruochen staggering, so she frowned. She was sure that Zhang Ruochen was very drunk, and he was just messing with her.


“What kind of fist techniques are you performing, Ninth brother?”


Zhang Ruochen performed his fist techniques and said, “Luo Water Fist Technique.”


Zhang Yuxi knew that it was Luo Water Fist Technique, which had been invented by Luo Xu. It was mysterious with a tremendous amount of power, and it was renowned even in First Central Empire. However, Zhang Ruochen was performing it like it was a childish game.


“Ninth brother, let’s go back… Wait… What’s happening…”


Before Zhang Yuxi could finish talking, the blue boat started to spin, and she almost bounced away.


However, Zhang Yuxi was strong enough to immediately balance herself. She took a look down at the river, and she saw a giant whirlpool.


She wasn’t sure whether the whirlpool had always been there, or if it had just come into being.


Zhang Ruochen immediately stopped performing the fist technique.


And then, the whirlpool gradually withered away.


Zhang Ruochen seemed to have noticed something. He stared at the water, and his eyes finally stopped glazing over.


“What happened? How did that spinning power suddenly vanish?” Zhang Yuxi was dazed.


And then, they heard a laughing sound coming from the sh.o.r.e.


It was Zhang Shaochu, Yunwu Commandery Prince. He was wearing a royal golden robe, looking at Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Yuxi on the boat. He shouted, “Ninth brother, ninth sister, how could you not ask me to join you guys? I’m your brother!”


Since becoming the commandery prince, Zhang Shaochu had become much chubbier. He looked like a ball, and his face twitched when he smiled.


“Glad you’re here, fourth brother. Send an army here and help me do something,” Zhang Ruochen said.


Zhang Shaochu asked, “What kind of things?”


“Dig the river.”


Zhang Shaochu was dazed, then he said, “Dig what river?”


“Under this boat. Let’s see whether you can dig something out or not.” Zhang Ruochen lay on the boat and said, “Also, send me another pot of wine. Remember, it’s got to be the wine made by the Crazy Alcoholic. The strongest wine.”


The commandery prince ordered an army nearby to rush into Luo Water, starting to dig at the bottom.


There were three thousand people in the army, and each of them had drunk Six Saints to Heaven Wine made by the Crazy Alcoholic, which gave them body quality far superior to others.


Zhang Ruochen hadn’t left Yunwu Commandery since he came here a year ago.


The Crazy Alcoholic and Gu Songzi didn’t have anything to do, and they were worried that Saint Elder of Sacred Central Crypt would hold them accountable if they left Zhang Ruochen, so they chose to stay in Yunwu Commandery as well.


They then decided to make Six Saints to Heaven Wine and Hua Saint Pills.


Neither of them was difficult to make. They both needed a lot of experimentation to confirm their validity.


The army in Yunwu Commandery became their guinea pigs.


For what it’s worth, even semi Six Saints to Heaven Wine and semi Hua Saint Pills were immensely beneficial to ordinary monks.


After half a day, there came a bustling noise from Luo Water.


“Ninth brother, ninth brother. We did dig out something. Come see!”


Zhang Shaochu was excited, like a child rather than the prince of a commandery.


Zhang Yuxi looked confused, and she mumbled, “They did dig out something. Is ninth brother really being dispirited, or is he just pretending to be? I feel like he’s not just here to tour around.”


Zhang Ruochen and Zhang Yuxi went ash.o.r.e. They saw a group of soldiers dragging six chains, picking up a stele from the bottom of the river.


It was actually a broken stele.


It was twenty feet tall, twelve feet long and seven feet thick. It took three hundred soldiers to drag it ash.o.r.e.


Zhang Shaochu smiled. “How convenient is that? We dug out the broken stele from where your boat just pa.s.sed by.”


After they cleaned the stele, Zhang Ruochen walked toward it.


“Those characters are really ancient. I’ve seen them before.”


“It’s so heavy. Is it really made of stone?”



The soldiers kept talking with each other, as they found it amazing.


Zhang Yuxi was also observing the stele. She frowned and said, “What kind of characters are they. I’ve never seen them before.”


“There’re billions of language systems in the world. n.o.body can learn all the languages. However, we can crack the meanings using mind power.”


Zhang Ruochen started to observe the stele using his mind power.


After a while, Zhang Ruochen walked back. He felt a giant pain in his brain, and he almost fell on the ground.


Zhang Yuxi immediately held him and asked, “What happened, ninth brother?”


Zhang Ruochen recovered quickly. He said, “Those characters have immense power. Even I am not able to crack the code.”


“Even you can’t do it? What the h.e.l.l are they?”


Zhang Shaochu was stunned, as he knew better than everyone else how powerful his ninth brother was. His ninth brother was a saint.


Even a saint wasn’t able to crack it?


“Perhaps there’s someone who is able to decode it.”


Zhang Ruochen sent a message to Gu Songzi using his mind power.


Gu Songzi and the Crazy Alcoholic arrived and landed beside the broken stele.


“Haha, dude. After a year, finally something that has you interested. Let me see what that is.”


Gu Songzi shot a glance at the broken stele, and then, he was astounded. He stopped smiling and walked toward the stele. He couldn’t stop looking at it.


Gu Songzi became extremely serious. He stroked the characters on the stele, and the more he read, the more shocked he became. He mumbled, “Rebellious…G.o.d…Stele…”


The Crazy Alcoholic was also kind of astonished. He asked, “Hey, what’s on the stele?”


Gu Songzi closed his eyes, and his entire body was shaking.


The Crazy Alcoholic was very anxious. He said, “Hey, say something.”


Gu Songzi took a long breath, waved his hands and said, “Everyone, go away.”


Zhang Shaochu immediately realized that what they had dug out of Long River was incredible. He gave an order. “Everyone, retreat.”


All the soldiers went away.


Gu Songzi shot a glance at Zhang Shaochu and Zhang Yuxi. “You guys need to leave as well.”


“Even… I… can’t… know…”


Zhang Shaochu pouted, but he still chose to leave seeing Gu Songzi’s facial expressions.


After Zhang Shaochu and Zhang Yuxi left, Gu Songzi said, “This stele doesn’t belong in Kunlun’s Field. It might have fallen from the Heaven World.”
