Chapter 1641: Rich Reward
The one who came out of the curtain of light was Feng Yan.
He gazed at the backside of the Thousand Star Maiden in the distance and smiled. “This icy fairy-like maiden seems to have said something incredible to Brother Zhang? Could it be that your shocking performance won her heart?”
“Stop joking. The Thousand Star Maiden is so noble. How could she like a mundane person like me?”
With that, Zhang Ruochen steered his Truth Boat carefully forward.
The fifth level was much more difficult than the fourth level. Zhang Ruochen released all of his Spiritual Power and 247 Rules of Truth to control the boat.
In the end, Holy Qi had to come out of his 144 apertures and wrap around the Truth Boat to manage to keep going forward.
Beside him, Feng Yan also had a serious expression. He released all of his Spiritual Power, Holy Qi and more than 2,000 rules to steady the boat and go forward.
He glanced at Zhang Ruochen with an impressed look. You only cultivated around 200 rules, but you can force yourself to the fifth level. If he has as many rules as me, it won’t be hard to reach the sixth level, right?
They continued forward for around three miles and Zhang Ruochen finally fell into the sea.
Blue Fang defeated the fourth guardian, but as soon as he entered the fifth level, he was unable to control the Truth Boat and fell sooner than Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen returned to land and Blue Fang went up to him. Leering, he said, “I already know who you are. What point is there in continuing to wear that mask?”
“No point,” Zhang Ruochen said. “But I’m going to keep wearing it. What can you do about it?”
Blue Fang hated Zhang Ruochen’s guts, but he couldn’t break into the Moon Goddess Dojo because of the time and space formations. Otherwise, how could he not go take revenge after Zhang Ruochen killed so many Yin and Yang Field cultivators and destroyed the Yin and Yang Palace?
“I can’t kill you in the Truth Heavenly Domain, but I can still break your arms and legs.”
Blue Fang clenched his hands into claws. Divine Fire Jingmie poured out of the claws and he swept at Zhang Ruochen. Because it included more than 1,000 Rules of Truth, Blue Fang’s claw had triple the power.
Whoosh!
Zhang Ruochen used the spatial move and vanished from the spot. He appeared a dozen feet away, easily dodging Blue Fang’s attack. “You’re not my match,” he said indifferently. “Stop embarrassing yourself.”
“Earth Sea Clock.”
Blue Fang extended his right hand. A delicate bronze clock floated above his palm. Shreds of demonic Qi flowed atop it, so it was obvious it wasn’t an average Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon.
Zhang Ruochen summoned the Abyss Ancient Sword and grasped it, ready to fight at any moment.
The sword had a time print carved on it. He could cut down Blue Fang’s lifespan without any sign.
Since Blue Fang was purposely provoking him, Zhang Ruochen was determined to use this chance to take out this quite threatening enemy.
Just as they prepared to fight, Feng Yan came onto land and stopped them. “The Ocean of Truth forbids any type of fighting. If a godly disciple finds out, both of you will be locked up in the saint prison for at least one year.”
Blue Fang had worries, but he put the Earth Sea Clock away and left the Ocean of Truth.
Before leaving, he glared at Zhang Ruochen with strong hatred. If he found the chance, he would definitely use the cruelest methods against Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen was guarded, thinking about how to kill Blue Fang without breaking the rules of the Truth Godly Palace.
After all, if someone as strong as Blue Fang kept trying to kill him, it would indeed pose a great threat.
“The Yin and Yang Field is very strong,” Feng Yan said seriously. “Even though more than half of the strong figures died in the Moon Goddess Dojo battle, there are still powerful people spread throughout the other dojos. Brother Zhang, you must be careful.”
“I know.” Zhang Ruochen nodded and asked, “I was caught up with Blue Fang earlier and didn’t see how handsomely you crossed the sea. Did you pass the fifth level?”
“It’s fortunate you didn’t see.” Feng Yan sighed. “As soon as I met the fifth guardian, it sent me into the sea with one strike. It’s unspeakable.”
“Actually, it’s not that disgraceful,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Many talents at the top of each world work their entire life without being qualified to fight with the fifth guardian.”
“That’s true...”
Feng Yan’s eyes stared at the Ocean of Truth and his pupils kept expanding as he began feeling worse. “The Thousand Star Maiden passed the fifth level!” he muttered. “Amazing. It’s true that there are always people who are better than you.”
Zhang Ruochen looked toward the sixth level too. Seeing that beautiful figure, he felt great emotions inside.
The universe was too vast. No one knew how many talents were hidden. You could be excellent, but there was always someone better. You could be strong, but there was always someone stronger.
After reaching the sixth level, the Thousand Star Maiden stopped going forward. She stopped, turned the Truth Boat, and went to the bank. The entire time, she maintained the most elegant and perfect figure. No one could find any flaw in her.
What welcomed her were the envious, reverent, jealous, and worshipping expressions of the people on land.
They couldn’t help it. The Thousand Star Maiden’s performance was too shocking. She was only a first step Saint King, but she’d reached the sixth level. She might not be the first, but she was definitely in the first ten of history.
It could be imagined that her amazing feat would shock the entire Truth Heavenly Domain and spread through Heaven World.
Feng Yan chuckled wryly. “See? She’s so smart. She knows that she can’t pass the sixth level, so she chose not to do it. She’s not like us, embarrassing ourselves and looking like fools without being able to cross the fifth level. We’re all first step Saint Kings, but it’s too obvious. We were just there to make her look good. It’s a bit embarrassing.”
“That woman is indeed strong. She knows how to give and take and can make the correct choice. She’s smart, but unfortunately...”
Here, Zhang Ruochen stopped and didn’t continue speaking, because the Thousand Star Maiden seemed to have heard Zhang Ruochen and Feng Yan’s telepathic messages. Her alluring eyes stared at him with an eavesdropping expression.
With mine and Feng Yan’s cultivation, she can still hear our telepathic messages? Zhang Ruochen was very shocked.
The Thousand Star Maiden’s voice sounded in Zhang Ruochen’s ears. “Unfortunately what?”
Her voice was soft but very clear. She seemed to speak right beside him.
She really did hear!
He was shocked, but he didn’t show it on his face. He just replied coolly, “I don’t think I have to tell you.”
“Two top talents are secretly talking about me, but I’m not qualified to know the result of your discussion?”
If it was any other cultivator discussing, the Thousand Star Maiden wouldn’t care, but Zhang Ruochen and Feng Yan were different. One was the Time and Space Descendant; the other was from a super-ancient race. They didn’t speak for no reason.
Judging from Zhang Ruochen’s tone, it seemed like she had some fatal weakness.
This was why she was curious and took the initiative to ask Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and didn’t reply.
The Thousand Star Maiden’s slender brows creased, and she was thinking, Could this person know that I can hear them, so he purposely said that to attract my attention? If that’s the case, then Saint Monk Xumi’s descendant really isn’t much.
A burly and bearded man walked to her side. “Your Highness, we should go. Fairy Tianchu and Lady Huairou have been waiting for you at Qingming Island.
“Let’s go!”
The Thousand Star Maiden shot a hard look at Zhang Ruochen. Then she gracefully entered an ancient carriage. Snow-white birds pulled the carriage into the sky and she disappeared in the clouds.
Seeing her leave, many cultivators there sighed. They probably would never see this lofty maiden again.
Different people had different fates.
To other cultivators, they were indeed powerful talents. But compared to the Thousand Star Maiden, they were no different from common people.
Dragons were in the clouds. People were on the ground.
An ant would never know how far heaven was when looking up.
Zhang Ruochen sighed. With Feng Yan beside him, he couldn’t leave at all. He’d have to find another chance to kill the Thousand Star Maiden.
Feng Yan heard him sigh and misinterpreted it, thinking Zhang Ruochen was sad about the Thousand Star Maiden leaving. Smiling, he asked, “What did she secretly say to you again?”
“Would you believe me if I said we were just chatting?”
“Of course not,” Feng Yan said. “Before, Wang Xu tried to pursue her. With his appearance, talent, and status, he could get any girl. But after visiting countless times, he never even saw the Thousand Star Maiden. Now, she voluntarily talked to a man twice. This is incredible. And you just tell me that you were chatting? You’re a horrible friend. Do you think I would tell Lady Mu about this?”
“Are you threatening me?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“No,” Feng Yan said. “It’s obviously you being a bad friend. If you really are interested in the Thousand Star Maiden, I can provide some help.”
“What help?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“I know where she’s staying for now.”
“Where?”
“Qingming Island, the cultivation land of Huairou, wife of a godly disciple.”
Zhang Ruochen’s expression flickered. “It seems that you’re very interested in her. You researched so carefully.”
“Aren’t you trying to find out too? Seems like you’re more interested.”
“Perhaps!”
Without meaning to, Zhang Ruochen looked toward the Ocean of Truth. He saw that the Dark Fool Xiang Chunan was still in the fourth level. He was still spinning in the whirlpool but hadn’t fallen.
Feng Yan had a surprised expression. “A strange figure.”
It was indeed incredible to survive so long in the whirlpool.
“Oh, Brother Zhang, you crossed the fourth level in your first year at the Truth Heavenly Domain,” Feng Yan said. “You’ll definitely get great rewards.”
“Let’s go get it from the saint pavilion now.”
Zhang Ruochen and Feng Yan visited the saint pavilion. After receiving his rewards for this time, he was much happier.
After crossing the second level, he received two months in the Truth Godly Palace and six spots for Guanghan Field.
After crossing the third level, he received four months and 12 extra spots.
After crossing the fourth level, he received eight months and 24 extra spots.
This way, when the Truth Godly Palace opened again, he’d be able to cultivate there for one more year. It was enough to make great improvements in the Saintly Way and Way of Truth. By then, he could cross the fifth level and sixth...
He also worked to get 42 cultivation spots for Guanghan Field. Su Jing and the others would probably go crazy with excitement.
He carved a communication rune and sent it back to the Moon Goddess Dojo to tell Su Jing to come and get the 42 badges.
