Chapter 1706: Secret Regarding Kunlun’s Field
The Sundial was very important. It pertained to the secret of the Orion Eight Stars and Saint Monk Xumi’s place of death. Zhang Ruochen still hadn’t figured it out, but he definitely couldn’t give it to Princess Luosha.
“You must think carefully,” Zhang Ruochen said. “This is the Truth Heavenly Domain, not the G.o.d-Naming Platform.”
“What do you mean?”
“If you can’t control the Supreme Saint monster for help, are you sure you’re still my match?”
Princess Luosha sensed the coldness seeping from Zhang Ruochen’s body. Her pretty smile vanished.
Whoos.h.!.+
Turning into a streak, she flew out of the carriage and landed behind Zhang Ruochen. She had an advantageous position to fight at any moment.
Zhang Ruochen took out the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide and opened it.
Whoos.h.!.+
Silver light screens appeared, turning into a multi-dimensional s.p.a.ce. It locked Princess Luosha in one of the s.p.a.ces.
Princess Luosha had seen Zhang Ruochen use the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide during the s.p.a.ce transfer earlier. She thought that it was only an auxiliary treasure, so she didn’t think much about it.
She stood in the silver light without fear. Chuckling, she asked, “What, you really want to kill me?”
Zhang Ruochen was emotionless. He just closed the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide, collecting Princess Luosha into the book.
When the book’s power burst out, Princess Luosha’s expression finally looked uncomfortable. She hurriedly used the Spatial Move to escape from the book’s restriction.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t use spatial power at all in the multidimensional s.p.a.ce.
When Zhang Ruochen opened the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide again, Princess Luosha had become a beautiful picture on the silver page.
“So this book is actually a time and s.p.a.ce treasure,” Princess Luosha said angrily. “I can’t believe I can be wrong too.”
Zhang Ruochen directly took the scroll that recorded him and Fairy Tianchu from Princess Luosha.
After confirming that it was the right one, Zhang Ruochen was relieved. “Princess, you really can do everything, even such lowly things.”
Princess Luosha huffed and didn’t say anything.
The Amazing Little Taoist woke up. He poked his head out of Zhang Ruochen’s sleeve. “My Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror was also taken by her. Zhang Ruochen, you must get it back for me… Oh no, I messed up. I didn’t mean to say your name. How about we kill her so she can’t spill the secret?”
“Don’t worry. She already guessed my ident.i.ty.”
Zhang Ruochen reached out and took the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror from Princess Luosha too.
“You already took everything,” Princess Luosha said. “Zhang Ruochen, you’ll let me go now, right?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “I let you go earlier but you didn’t. Now, it won’t be so easy to leave.”
“You still want to kill me?”
“You once led the Luosha Race Army and killed a mortal field of Heaven World,” Zhang Ruochen said. “You’ve already become a rising star from h.e.l.l World that Heaven World must kill. If I kill you, I’ll definitely receive a great amount of merits.”
Princess Luosha understood well that Zhang Ruochen was quite cold-blooded. He might really do it, so she grew worried.
“Zhang Ruochen, we cultivated our Spiritual Power together before. Are you going to ignore our relations.h.i.+p?” Her tone became softer.
“Rather than talk about our relations.h.i.+p, why don’t you answer some of my questions first?” Zhang Ruochen said.
“What do you want to know?”
Sitting on the saint carriage with the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide, Zhang Ruochen said, “I’m curious how you, Princess Luosha, became Gong Ziyan’s cousin, Mo Xiaogu? Heaven World must have spies, right? What exactly are you here to do?”
“I can’t answer the first and second question, but I can answer the third one. But if I answer you, will you let me go?”
“No.”
Then Zhang Ruochen added, “But since I’m giving you a chance to speak now, it means that you have a chance of not dying. If I don’t give you the chance to speak, then you’ll die without a doubt.”
Princess Luosha was furious. She had never been threatened like this before.
Was Zhang Ruochen her nemesis?
She did have some powerful hidden cards, but she wasn’t sure if they could break the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide. She had to bear down and wait for a more suitable timing.
“Actually, I came to Heaven World to learn the Way of s.p.a.ce and Truth,” Princess Luosha said. “I don’t have any ulterior motives. But I’m sure you don’t believe that, so I have another more important motive. I came to find you.”
“Find me? For revenge?”
“If it was just for revenge, why would I have to come personally?” Princess Luosha asked. “You should know that if I give the order, the Luosha fighters hidden in Heaven World will take your life. I actually came because you’re someone I need in my life.”
Zhang Ruochen obviously didn’t believe her. “It’s okay if you don’t tell the truth. I’ll bring you to the Truth G.o.dly Palace now. I’m sure those big figures there can make you reveal everything.”
“Zhang Ruochen, you’re too heartless. When have I ever hurt you? Why are you doing this to me?” Princess Luosha’s eyes reddened. She actually put on a pitiful look as if she was about to cry.
“You are a princess of h.e.l.l World. I am a cultivator of Heaven World. We are enemies. Do I need any other reason?”
On the merits battleground, Zhang Ruochen had seen the Luosha Race cultivators treat humans as biped sheep. They’d cooked humans in boiling water, roasted them in fire, and even eaten children. He’d felt unspeakable anger.
And the general of that war was Princess Luosha.
Thus, Zhang Ruochen never used death as a threat toward Princess Luosha. He truly felt hatred toward her and wanted to kill her.
Princess Luosha could feel his murderous Qi. “Heaven World is Heaven World. h.e.l.l World is h.e.l.l World,” she said hurriedly. “And we are ourselves. How will you benefit from killing me? Even if you can redeem merits, the Merits G.o.dly Palace won’t give you any merits treasures. In the eyes of many Heaven World forces, you’re instead an obstacle. They’ll try everything to kill you.”
“Seems like you know a lot?”
“I know more than this,” Princess Luosha said. “If you free me, I can tell you an even bigger secret.”
“What secret?”
“Free me first.”
“Then, never mind!”
Zhang Ruochen closed the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide. He drove the carriage toward the Truth G.o.dly Palace.
“It’s related to Kunlun’s Field.” Princess Luosha’s voice streamed out of the book. “In one or two years, the Heaven and Earth Altar protecting it will be broken. By then, the h.e.l.l World Army will enter Kunlun’s Field from the various world holes from 10,000 years ago and destroy this ancient world.”
Zhang Ruochen immediately stopped the carriage. He opened the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide. Princess Luosha appeared across from him, standing within the layers of silver light.
“Are you speaking the truth?” Zhang Ruochen said in a low voice.
Princess Luosha chuckled. “Kunlun’s Field is a major world that has survived countless Yuanhui Calamities. There are only a dozen or so worlds like this in the universe. Each one has an ancient heritage, hiding a treasure that every cultivator would want.
“Not only are the h.e.l.l World cultivators ready to turn Kunlun’s Field into a battleground, Heaven World is preparing too. Once the Heaven and Earth Altar is broken through, armies from the various worlds will all flood into Kunlun’s Field.
“With your understanding of Heaven World, do you think they’ll truly help Kunlun’s Field against h.e.l.l World? They’ll probably be the first to rob Kunlun’s Field of its resources.
“Some worlds will even fight cultivators from Kunlun’s Field to stop it from recovering from the trial.”
Princess Luosha obviously said this because she knew that Kunlun’s Field was Zhang Ruochen’s homeland.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes flickered as he pondered. If the armies of Heaven and h.e.l.l World all flooded into Kunlun’s Field, the civilians would probably fall into battle immediately. All the resources would be robbed clean.
Princess Luosha took advantage of this chance to strike with a rune scroll.
Kaboom!
A destructive force like Absolute Saint power exploded from the scroll. It shattered the layers of silver light.
With Zhang Ruochen as the center, all land within dozens of miles became barren. The center melted into red lava, forming a lake of lava.
Zhang Ruochen flew out of the lava lake and looked around. There was no trace of Princess Luosha.
“Zhang Ruochen, see you in Kunlun’s Field.”
Her voice came from the horizon.
Zhang Ruochen currently had heavy spirits and didn’t chase after Princess Luosha. Instead, he took out the priest cane from the Moon G.o.ddess and used it to contact her.
“Is Kunlun’s Field about to be invaded by h.e.l.l World?” Zhang Ruochen asked directly.
The Moon G.o.ddess’ projection hovered in the sky above the cane, s.h.i.+ning with divine light. Her majestic voice said, “That is the fate of Kunlun’s Field. It is destined to suffer from war again. Cultivate hard in the Truth Heavenly Domain. Before war erupts, I will tell you what to do.”
Her projection faded, but Zhang Ruochen stood there without moving.
A moment later, he went toward the Truth Heavenly Domain. He prepared to cultivate in isolation for the following year and reach an even stronger level.
