God Emperor - Chapter 946

Chapter 946: 946

Returning to the foot of Poluo Mountain, Zhang Ruochen walked towards Blue Night and Ji Shui . Bowing slightly, he smiled and said, “Senior Uncles, I’ve already taken a spot as the Banner Lord . Now, can we go back and report to Grandmaster? I’ve completed such a difficult task . I should get a lot of rewards, right?”

Blue Night’s expression didn’t have any joy . Instead, he said coldly and seriously, “Gu Linfeng, you’re too cocky . Shouldn’t you control your greedy and lustful personality? Do you think that every girl can be yours to flirt with?”

Zhang Ruochen jutted his chin out . “Senior Uncle Lan, for some reason, I can’t understand you . ”

“You better stay away from the Saintess in the future,” Blue Night said straightforwardly . “Don’t try to get someone out of your league, so you don’t attract danger . ”

Zhang Ruochen’s expression instantly darkened . He clearly didn’t agree with Blue Night’s words .

Gu Linfeng would definitely react like this to Blue Night . Since Zhang Ruochen was pretending to be Gu Linfeng now, he obviously couldn’t let his personality have any flaws . He should be angry when necessary, cruel when necessary, and pretend to be flirty when suitable too .

Blue Night glared at Zhang Ruochen, hands trembling . If he didn’t know how important this man was to his master, he wouldn’t bother reminding him at all .

Ji Shui wore a long blood-red robe . Standing inside a cloud of bloody mist, he said in an ethereal voice, “Your Senior Uncle Blue wants the best for you . The Saintess will marry the Deity in the future . If you get too close to the Saintess, the Deity definitely won’t forgive you . ”

“Thank you Senior Uncle Ji for reminding me . ” Zhang Ruochen immediately changed his attitude . He took off the Saint Raven Fistgloves and returned them to Ji Shui . “I couldn’t have gotten the Banner Lord position if not for the Saint Raven Fistgloves . Thank you once again . ”

Ji Shui didn’t say anything . He just nodded lightly and put the gloves away .

The trio returned to the Spiritual Void Sea . Once again, Zhang Ruochen saw Discipline King Haiming’s saint soul in the Discipline King’s Hall .

After learning that Zhang Ruochen had defeated Bai Yu, Ning Guihai, and Yan Kongming by himself, thus becoming a Banner Lord of the Nether Heavenly Palace, Haiming was naturally overjoyed .

“Linfeng, you’ve truly surprised me this time,” Discipline King Haiming said, smiling . “Even with the Deity and Saintess in the competition, you could still sweep the other Half-Saints and snatch the last spot . You are practically the third young king of the Blood God Sect . You’ve really made me proud . ”

Zhang Ruochen glanced at Ji Shui . Smiling, he said, “It’s all thanks to Senior Uncle Ji Shui . Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been so successful . ”

Discipline King Haiming nodded . He took out a blood-red crystal ball and a small bronze box . With a wave of his sleeve, the two objects flew towards Zhang Ruochen at once .

“This is a drop of the Blood God’s divine blood and a Third Grade Divine Origin Pill . It’s your reward . In the future, if you complete my tasks for me, you will receive many more rewards . ” Discipline King Haiming shot an encouraging look at Zhang Ruochen .

Zhang Ruochen accepted the crystal ball and box . Acting very excited, he immediately bowed . “Thank you, Grandmaster, for your reward . ”

He really wanted both the Blood God’s blood and the Third Grade Divine Origin Pill . Especially with the latter, Zhang Ruochen was now confident that he could reach the third level of the Half-Saint Realm .

Discipline King Haiming nodded in satisfaction . Then his expression grew serious and his voice deepened . “Your two Senior Uncles must have told you why I’m sending you to the Nether Heavenly Palace, correct?”

“I indeed know some of it now,” Zhang Ruochen said . “But I’m not familiar with the specifics . ”

Discipline King Haiming walked down from the top seat . The Holy Qi on him tossed like violent waves . He stared deeply at somewhere outside the hall .

“The monks of the outer world have always thought that the Bottomless Abyss is an unapproachable place of death . They don’t even wish to speak of it . However, very few people know that it actually contains many secrets . These secrets may even be related to the Immortal Vampires . ”

As he spoke, he arrived before Zhang Ruochen . The power radiating from him was like a towering saintly mountain . It created huge pressure for Zhang Ruochen, Blue Night and Ji Shui . None of them dared to raise their heads and meet his eyes .

Head lowered, Zhang Ruochen trembled slightly and asked, “How…how can…it be related to the Vampires?”

Seeing how terrified Zhang Ruochen was, Discipline King Haiming was very satisfied . “I wasn’t sure before, but the saintly battle that erupted at the Bottomless Abyss recently confirmed it for me . ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen immediately thought about how the Saint Lady had died at the Bottomless Abyss . That news had shaken the Kunlun’s Field .

Apparently, the Confucius Way had already sent many elite scholars to the north for an all-out war with the Immortal Vampires because of this . Some important figures of the imperial court and Confucius Way also wished to visit the Bottomless Abyss and investigate the fate of the Saint Lady . However, they’d all been stopped by the Blood God Sect .

No one could approach the Bottomless Abyss .

Without waiting for Zhang Ruochen to ask about it, Discipline King Haiming continued, “About a month ago, the Saint Lady, one of the Empress’ Nine Heavenly Maidens, went to the Shangguan Clan for the Vampire Secrets . She wished to visit Shangguan Que .

“No one knows if she received the Vampire Secrets . Not long after she left the Shangguan Clan, the news was somehow leaked and she was stopped by countless Vampire Saints .

“That battle involved all the top forces of Tiantai State . Most of them had gone to save the Saint Lady . However, the Vampires were very well-prepared . They’d set up some formations and assassination tactics, resulting in great losses for the imperial court and Confucius Way .

“From what I know, the Saint Lady had left the Shangguan Clan and was headed for the Bottomless Abyss . Why did she go there? Is it because she received the Vampire Secrets, learned of some secret, and wished to investigate at the Bottomless Abyss?”

Zhang Ruochen also had a thoughtful expression . “Grandmaster, do you mean that the Saint Lady was attacked and killed because of the secret hidden in the Bottomless Abyss?”

Discipline King Haiming nodded . “I suspect that the secret of the Bottomless Abyss has something to do with how the Blood Empress had fallen into it back then . ”

“Do you suspect that the Blood Empress hasn’t died?” Zhang Ruochen was shocked inwardly .

Discipline King Haiming shook his head . “If the Blood Empress wasn’t dead, she could have upended Kunlun’s Field long ago with her cultivation . She wouldn’t have let it be in peace for 500 years . ”

“I suspect that the Blood Empress left something behind in the Bottomless Abyss . That’s why the Saint Lady hurried over to investigate . In fact, the Vampires might know that that thing is in the abyss too . Otherwise, why would they try to stop her?”

There was something else that Discipline King Haiming didn’t say . He suspected that the founder of the Blood God Sect had something to do with the Immortal Vampires too .

“Something? The Blood Empress left something behind?”

Zhang Ruochen’s pupils constricted immediately . He thought of a legendary and unparalleled saint weapon—the Blood Sea Demonic Mirror .

In the legends, the Blood Sea Demonic Mirror was used by the Blood Empress and contained extremely strong Demonic Power . Even a Saint would lose all his blood and instantly become a mummy if reflected by the mirror . The Saint’s blood would then automatically fly into the mirror to be stored .

The Blood Sea Demonic Mirror had a long history . After a long passage of time, it had absorbed the blood of millions of organisms . The world in the mirror had long become a vast sea of blood .

Any Immortal Vampire dreamed about finding the Blood Sea Demonic Mirror . If they got it, it meant that they could receive unlimited blood . Their cultivation could skyrocket too .

It was said that the mirror also had another special power . It could see through a Vampire’s disguise and make them revert to their original appearance .

This was a saint weapon that could both help and defeat a Vampire . Whose hand it fell into was the most critical factor .

However, after the Blood Empress fell into the Bottomless Abyss, the Blood Sea Demonic Mirror also disappeared from Kunlun’s Field, never to be seen again .

“Grandmaster, do you wish for me to find that object in the Bottomless Abyss?” Zhang Ruochen asked . “But in the legends, the Bottomless Abyss is a place of no return . ”

Discipline King Haiming stared at Zhang Ruochen and chuckled . “If it really is so, why would I send you to your death? Two days later, you’ll report to the Nether Heavenly Palace . When you arrive, you’ll understand what I said . ”

“In addition, ingest the Third Grade Divine Origin Pill as soon as possible after you arrive . Try to reach the third level quickly . The Nether Heavenly Palace is a dangerous place . You won’t survive for long without a strong cultivation . ”

After all that, Discipline King Haiming’s saint soul dissipated and disappeared from the Discipline King’s Hall .

Zhang Ruochen would report to the Nether Heavenly Palace in two days . Two short days wasn’t even enough for a Monk to go from the second level of the Half-Saint Realm to the third, even with the Divine Origin Pill’s help .

This was why Discipline King Haiming told him to try it after arriving at the Nether Heavenly Palace . However, Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to wait that long . It was two days for other people . To him, it was 20 days . It was more than enough to enter a new level .

After returning to Wangchu Island, Zhang Ruochen immediately entered the Universe Spiritual Map .

He used a day’s time to adjust himself . Then he took out the Third Grade Divine Origin Pill . After checking it, he swallowed it . Putting his hands together, he activated the Emperor Ming Nine-sky Scripture’s sixth level and started for the third level with all his might .
