Chapter 1703: Top Ten G.o.dly Disciples
“The spatial barrier is very difficult to break. How did these people come in?” Zhang Ruochen was curious.
Mo Xiaogu had been observing the cultivators present. “The top ten G.o.dly disciples acted to break apart the spatial wall.”
“How do you know?”
“I guessed.”
Dragging Zhang Ruochen, Mo Xiaogu flew down from the Supreme Saint monster’s shoulder. She pointed at the young man with half-white hair standing south of the delta. “That is Nie Xiangzi, one of the top ten G.o.dly disciples. He can pick the stars with his bare hands and has a cool temperament.”
“Nie Xiangzi.”
Zhang Ruochen looked over.
“Nie Xiangzi reached the ninth step Saint King Realm 120 years ago,” Mo Xiaogu said. “At that time, it was already difficult for him to find a match below the Supreme Saint Realm. He even exchanged five blows with a true Supreme Saint. Even though he spat out blood and fell to the ground after five blows, this battle still improved his reputation. One hundred twenty years have pa.s.sed. If he fights with another Supreme Saint, it won’t be as simple as five blows.
“I heard that when he traveled the universe, he found an ancient treasure star. He spent decades to bring it to the Heaven World from millions of miles away. He placed it in the Truth Heavenly Domain and turned it into his residence.
“This is why it can be said that he picked a star with his bare hands.”
Zhang Ruochen revealed shock. “He exchanged five blows with a Supreme Saint. This Nie Xiangzi is quite an impressive figure.”
It was extremely difficult for anyone below the Supreme Saint Realm to exchange even one blow with a Supreme Saint.
The Great Elder, Wizard G.o.d Emperor and Fairy Tianchu were already the top figures of the Ancient Civilization Sect. But the three of them working together with an Absolute Saint weapon were still unable to fight against the half of the Supreme Saint monster.
A true Supreme Saint would be countless times more powerful than the half.
“The top ten G.o.dly disciples of the Truth G.o.dly Palace are all at the top of the Saint King Merits Rank. It’s common even if they have a Supreme Saint’s combat ability. The Great Elder, number one of the Ancient Civilization Sect, is nothing compared to them. They can crush him easily with one finger.
“They’ve already acc.u.mulated enough and could break into the Supreme Saint Realm at any time, but they keep repressing themselves.”
“Why?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Mo Xiaogu chuckled. “There are many reasons. For example, some want to cross the tenth level of the Ocean of Truth to s.n.a.t.c.h an incredible opportunity.
“Some want to fight the armies of h.e.l.l World in the merits battleground. As you know, only beings below the Supreme Saint Realm can enter the battleground between Heaven and h.e.l.l World and fight. Those above the Supreme Saint Realm fight in the boundless starry sky.
“Top figures below the Supreme Saint Realm like them can be very useful on the merits battleground. They may even turn the tides of the situation.”
Princess Luosha dared to come to Heaven World alone because she was sufficiently prepared. She’d read the profiles of all top figures in the Truth Heavenly Domain.
Next, she pointed out some other top ten G.o.dly disciples for Zhang Ruochen.
Just then, Mo Xiaogu pointed at Ji Fanxin. With misty eyes, she said, “Isn’t that your Golden Dragon Carriage? How come it’s with Ji Fanxin, the Hundred Flower Fairy, now?”
Zhang Ruochen was about to say something, but he suddenly stopped short. So close, he thought.
“Golden Dragon Carriage? Are you talking about the Hundred Flower Fairy’s carriage?” Zhang Ruochen asked with mock ignorance.
Mo Xiaogu couldn’t get a result, so disappointment flashed past her eyes. Chuckling, she said, “That carriage is more powerful than Fairy Tianchu’s White Feather Peac.o.c.k Saint Carriage. It’s a Nine Yao weapon. You don’t know it?”
“The Hundred Flower Fairy is the disciple of the Datura Flower G.o.ddess. She has a high status. It’s normal for her to even have a Nine Yao weapon.”
Then Zhang Ruochen continued, “Some cultivators have already reached the delta and are preparing to get the divine spring. Let’s follow!”
“No hurry. That delta is covered in ancient divine patterns and Yin Qi. It’s not so easy for them to break in. Come with me to take care of some personal matters first.”
Pulling Zhang Ruochen, Mo Xiaogu walked straight to Ji Fanxin.
Mo Xiaogu and Zhang Ruochen came here with the Supreme Saint monster. They were very high-key and attracted the attention of many. Thankfully, the top ten G.o.dly disciples were there, so they didn’t feel any fear.
Ji Fanxin had many strong figures beside her. Most of them were her pursuers.
In the distance, the top figures of the Demon G.o.d Field Sect were also watching Mo Xiaogu and Zhang Ruochen’s every move.
It was worth mentioning that Ji Fanxin was one of the top figures from the Demon G.o.d Field Sect.
Does Princess Luosha have personal conflicts with Ji Fanxin? Zhang Ruochen wondered.
Mo Xiaogu was very direct. “Ji Fanxin,” she said straightforwardly. “If I saw correctly, your Golden Dragon Carriage must belong to Zhang Ruochen, the Time and s.p.a.ce Descendant, right?”
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen realized what Mo Xiaogu wanted to do. She didn’t have any personal conflicts. She just wanted to cause problems.
As expected, her words instantly led to murmured discussions.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t really care. He was just a spectator.
Who told Ji Fanxin to use his Golden Dragon Carriage for no reason? He was just keeping it with her, but she acted like it really was hers!
Ji Fanxin stood on the carriage’s side. There were all types of flowers under her feet. There were even petals fluttering in the sky. Seemingly calm, she said, “Yes, this was Zhang Ruochen’s. Now it’s mine.”
Mo Xiaogu scoffed. “He can even gift a Nine Yao weapon. Zhang Ruochen is so generous.”
“Little girl, you misunderstood!” Ji Fanxin said. “He didn’t gift this Golden Dragon Carriage to me. He just left it with me. He just hasn’t redeemed it yet.”
“Does that mean…you two have a special relations.h.i.+p?” Mo Xiaogu asked.
“Not exactly. We’re just friends in the trade.”
All this time, Ji Fanxin had hidden her relations.h.i.+p with Zhang Ruochen to avoid trouble. Now that someone had exposed her, there was no way for her to continue hiding, so she admitted it naturally.
She didn’t want trouble, but she wasn’t afraid.
Even if the Heaven Field Sect cultivators knew that she did business with Zhang Ruochen, she was sure that her cultivation was enough to deal with them.
Perhaps she’d already had enough confidence to not be afraid of exposing her relations.h.i.+p with Zhang Ruochen when she decided to use the Golden Dragon Carriage.
After accomplis.h.i.+ng her goal, Mo Xiaogu didn’t speak further. She dragged Zhang Ruochen straight to the delta. She had a proud smile on her face. “After this, the Hundred Flower Fairy will keep having trouble. I hope the Demon G.o.d Field Sect and Heaven Field Sect start fighting. That’ll be more interesting.”
“Did you come to Heaven Field just to stir up trouble?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“None of your business.”
Whoos.h.!.+
Blinding light flashed past their eyes. Next came a cultivator’s pained cry.
“Another ancient divine rune.”
“There are too many runes here. We can’t decode them at all.”
…
Zhang Ruochen looked over. He saw that a Saint King had activated a divine rune in the delta and his body was cut in half.
After 15 short minutes, quite a few Saint Kings had died here.
The other cultivators who wanted the divine spring became even more careful. They didn’t dare to test it brashly and were all waiting for others to open up the path.
Zhang Ruochen and Mo Xiaogu didn’t act brashly either.
Mo Xiaogu was studying the runes on the ground. Zhang Ruochen studied the spatial structure here. They wanted to find the path with the lowest risk.
Right now, the strong figures of the Heaven Field Sect prepared to go for the divine spring.
They sent five people in total. Shang Ziyan and Gong Ziyan were the leaders. It was clear that these five had extraordinary figures. None of them were simple.
“Look, your cousin,” Zhang Ruochen said to Mo Xiaogu.
Mo Xiaogu rolled her eyes. “Shang Ziyan, leader of the Palace Temple; Mo Yan, leader of the Time G.o.d Palace; Xun Ya, leader of the Divine Blood War Palace; Zhou Yu, leader of Heaven Field; and Lian Xi, the Traceless Fairy of Soul Field. Not bad, they’re all top figures. If w.a.n.g Tian hadn’t died, he would be here too. It’s a pity. He had the talent to become a G.o.d, but he died by the hands of you and that 10,000-year-old saint medicine.”
Zhang Ruochen could hear that Mo Xiaogu was mocking him. She felt that he wasn’t as strong as w.a.n.g Tian, but he didn’t care. He didn’t refute her.
Shang Ziyan and the others carried a type of liquid similar to the G.o.d-killing Demon Blood. They discovered the divine patterns beforehand and used demon blood to erode them, continuing forward.
Soon, the five of them reached the depths of the delta. They were getting closer and closer to the divine spring.
It was quite strange. They didn’t pick any of the divine medicine beside them. Instead, they went straight to the center. Their goal was definite—get the divine spring.
Zhang Ruochen saw something amiss. “Other than the divine patterns, there are other risks. Shang Ziyan’s group doesn’t dare to pick the medicine.”
His guess was soon proved correct.
A rat with soft golden hair followed the path created by Shang Ziyan’s group. It rushed into the delta, wanting to take advantage of things and dig out a 90,000-year-old saint medicine.
But as soon as it dug out the medicine, the s.p.a.ce under foot collapsed. In an instant, the entire area became a void.
That Saint King rat didn’t even have time to escape before it was swallowed by the void, turning into smoke.
Countless people there gasped.
Even more shocking was that the void didn’t disappear after it came to be. It was like a broken s.p.a.ce hole was there. Black and cold, it swallowed the surrounding light and heat. It was eerie.
