God Emperor - Chapter 857

Chapter 857

A glass palace hovered in the sky outside the Tomb Forest .

Wan Qingtong was cultivating inside . Suddenly, his heart jumped and his eyes flew open . Two sharp beams of saintly light shot out of his black eyes . They transformed into two white pillars of light that pierced through the sky .

The soldiers cultivating inside the fortress were all shocked . They looked toward the palace curiously . What had happened?

“Wan Ji’s saint decree was destroyed,” Wan Qingtong muttered to himself . The next moment, one of his clones flew out of the palace in a streak of light . It melded with the Spiritual Qi and disappeared in the horizon at an impossible speed .

A while later, his saintly clone descended from the sky and appeared outside Shentai City . With a wave of his sleeve, he picked up the broken saint decree . Clutching it, he used a beam of spiritual energy to investigate it, but he couldn’t find any clues .

Wan Ji must have activated the saint decree to escape but was stopped by someone . The other even destroyed the saint decree . I’m afraid Wan Ji has met an unfortunate end .

What kind of person would help Zhang Ruochen and go against the Wan Family?

Wan Qingtong’s eyes were extremely sharp . He looked in the direction of the Yin and Yang Sect . If someone could destroy his saint decree, this meant that the person was at the same level as him—or even stronger .

There were only a few people in the entire Eastern Region at that level . Each one was a powerful and authoritative figure .

Shentai City was extremely close to the Yin and Yang Sect . Only powerful figures from that sect could make it in time to help Zhang Ruochen . Thus, Wan Qingtong naturally started suspecting them .

“Ning Xuandao? The Moon-burier Sword Saint?”

Wan Qingtong was furious . He clenched his fists and his eyes shone with electric purple light . He stomped on the ground and cracks opened up . Booms followed and the entire Shentai City sank into the ground .

He didn’t go directly to the Yin and Yang Sect to find Zhang Ruochen . After all, the sect was very powerful . They were a considerable force within the Ministry of War as well . Even Wan Qingtong couldn’t burst into the Yin and Yang Sect so easily .

It would be okay if he could find Zhang Ruochen; if he couldn’t, he would have completely antagonized the Yin and Yang Sect .

It seems like I’ll have to rely on the Central Region to catch Zhang Ruochen . If he isn’t killed, the consequences will be unimaginable .

Wan Qingtong took out a communication rune and carved some words on it with his finger . Waving his hand, the rune flew toward the Central Region in a streak of light .

By the time disciples of the Yin and Yang Sect rushed to the Shentai City to investigate, Wan Qingtong had already left .

…

Han Qiu returned to the cultivation residence . She crossed her snowy-white arms over her perky chest and smiled at Zhang Ruochen . “I’ve asked around . Half-Saint Yuanlong will take a group of disciples to the Central Region in five days . The wormhole will open at that time . ”

“Half-Saint Yuanlong . ” Hearing this name, Zhang Ruochen’s expression turned strange .

He was a lord of the Shangqing Palace and he’d personally given the Void Sword to Zhang Ruochen back then . When he learned the truth, he’d become depressed and easily agitated . He couldn’t cultivate peacefully anymore .

Thus, he volunteered to take the disciples to train in the Central Region . This could help him relax a bit .

It was understandable . Something like the Void Sword was more precious than the treasure of the Yin and Yang Sect, but he’d given it away . Anyone else would have gone crazy .

“Since I have five days, I should cultivate well and improve a bit more . ”

Zhang Ruochen took out the Universe Spiritual Map and hung it on the wall . He suddenly halted and looked at Han Qiu . “Want to go look inside?”

Han Qiu was extremely curious about Zhang Ruochen’s scroll and had wanted to look inside . Since Zhang Ruochen offered, she was obviously tempted .

She smiled, eyes crinkling . “Sure! This scroll is like the time and space treasure of the Sword Pavilion, right?”

“You’ll see when you’re inside . ”

Whoosh!

The spatial door opened . Zhang Ruochen and Han Qiu entered one after the other .

As expected, Han Qiu was pleasantly surprised after entering the scroll world . It was like entering a peaceful hidden paradise . It was also filled with Spiritual Qi; it was practically heaven for cultivators .

Zhang Ruochen brought Han Qiu to a city . This city was built beside the Divine Sky-connecting Tree . You could see the huge leaves in the sky if you looked up .

There was a red patch of medicinal plants on the west side of the city . The dirt was the Divine Blood-red Earth from the bottom of the lava sea . The plants growing in the garden were ordinary, but the fragrance was as strong as a thousand-year medicinal plant .

Around 300 miles away from the garden was a towering mountain . It was shrouded in Ghostly Qi so that for miles around, the land had become a ghost territory with no day or night . That was the territory of Ghost King Bloodmoon . It was called Ghost Mountain .

Ghost King Bloodmoon had started absorbing the Death Qi of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree . Every once in a while, one would clearly feel the evil Qi coming from Ghost Mountain get stronger . This meant that Ghost King Bloodmoon’s cultivation was quickly improving .

Zhang Ruochen had purposefully brought Han Qiu here to show her his true strength . He wasn’t someone with no background . If one really wanted to compare, his current abilities and resources were comparable to an average saint family .

Han Qiu stood below the Divine Sky-connecting Tree . She closed her eyes and greedily started absorbing the wood-elemental Spiritual Qi . “Zhang Ruochen,” she murmured . “You actually control a world . This is incredible . ”

“If you spend some more time in the scroll world, you’ll discover more incredible things,” Zhang Ruochen said .

Han Qiu obviously understood . Batting her lashes, she smiled gracefully . “In that case, I’ll cultivate here for a while . ”

Han Qiu remained by the tree to cultivate . Since she’d received a drop of the dragon emperor’s blood, she obviously wanted to refine it quickly and improve her cultivation .

Zhang Ruochen went to a ravine close to the Divine Sky-connecting Tree . He started meditating and adjusting his state in preparation to refine the eighth drop of divine blood .

Before, seven drops would be his limit . Now, he’d already succeeded in cultivating the Five Elements Chaotic Body and his body was multiple times stronger . He had far surpassed the Four Elements Spiritual Body . Refining an eighth drop of divine blood wasn’t hard .

Zhang Ruochen calmed down more and more until he entered a free and natural state . All the messy thoughts in his mind vanished .

Without realizing, a mass of five-colored Qi surged out of Zhang Ruochen’s pores . They formed a lotus with him in the center .

Finally, Zhang Ruochen took out a drop of divine blood . He clutched it in his hand and activated a technique to start refining it .

While doing so, Zhang Ruochen was also trying to comprehend the ways .

By the time he completed the refinement, one Major Way and seven Minor Ways also formed in his saint soul . All the rules wrapped around the rules of space .

The rules of space were like a pillar supporting the sky . The other rules wrapped around it like vines, branching off as well .

After the eighth drop of divine blood was refined, two more deity prints peeled off of the Sea of Qi’s wall . They consolidated by Zhang Ruochen’s ears, allowing his hearing to be more sensitive .

Now, it could be said that Zhang Ruochen could see and hear further than thousands of miles . His senses were probably more powerful than some Saints .

Continue refining the ninth drop of divine blood .

Zhang Ruochen had a strong feeling that he wasn’t far from the legendary Tenth Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm . It was possible that something considerable would change if he refined one or two more drops .
