“Heavenly Court? What is the Heavenly Court?”Wine Crazy asked curiously.
Gu Songzi pointed at the broken stele next to him and said, “According to the stele, roughly 100,000 years ago, a great change occurred between heaven and earth, and all the great worlds in the vast universe almost all went up in smoke. It was in the midst of this great change that the various great worlds united and established a Holy Realm to fight against the calamity. The name of that holy realm was called the Heavenly Court.”
The Wine Crazy Man could be described as the group of powerhouses that stood at the pinnacle of the world, and knew many of the hidden secrets of the Kunlun Realm, but, at this moment, doubts were written all over his face as he said, “Sacred Realm, Heavenly Court. Why do I feel that it’s very mysterious, I’ve never heard of such a secret, it can’t be someone making it up, right?”
“With the terrifying cultivation of the person who carved the monument, how could he make it up?”
Gu Songzi blankly glanced at the wine madman, his face full of disdain, thinking that he was too idiotic.
“In other words, besides the Kunlun Realm, there are other great worlds in the universe?”Wine Crazy said.
Gu Songzi said, “It’s not that there isn’t such a possibility. The universe is so large and boundless that the world we see may just be a drop in the ocean.”
“A hundred thousand years ago, the Kunlun Realm was also in great turmoil and the gods fell, could it be related to that change?”Zhang Ruochen’s brows furrowed, and after a pause, he added, “Is there any record on the stele of what exactly happened 100,000 years ago?”
Gu Songzi shook his head and said, “The stele is mutilated, there is no record.”
“Then, who was the person who carved the inscription?”Zhang Ruochen asked again.
“There isn’t one either. However, that person must be a rather powerful existence, and with the strength of Old Man’s spiritual power, it is very difficult to decipher it.”Gu Songzi said.
Zhang Ruochen asked again, “Earlier, what did you mean by the Reverse God Stele?”
“It’s the three characters at the very top of the broken monument, and I don’t know what they mean.”Gu Songzi stroked his beard, also thinking carefully and deeply.
“Could it mean that this stele possesses the power of a Reverse God?”
The Wine Crazy Man stared with wide eyes, revealing fiery eyes, stretching out his hands, he pressed on top of the broken stele, mobilising a steady stream of holy qi to punch it out.
Unfortunately, the monument remained quite cold and did not change half a bit.
Immediately after that, the wine madman cut open his finger again and placed a drop of holy blood on top of the monument, but unfortunately, the monument was still dead.
“What broken monument, it’s simply a piece of rotten stone, the name is quite bluffing.”
The wine madman kicked out, sending the heavy broken monument flying, followed by another punch, striking above the broken monument.
With Wine Crazy’s cultivation, a random strike would have the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, yet, it couldn’t hurt the broken stele for a single point, it was truly incomparably strange.
“How did the Reverse God Tablet fall to the Kunlun Realm? And who broke it?”
Zhang Ruochen asked Zhang Shaochu to send people to continue digging inside the Luo Water, wanting to dig out other broken tablets. Only by collecting all the inscriptions could they figure out the true meaning of the “Reverse God Tablet”.
The Luo River was thousands of miles long, and relying only on the strength of ordinary people, it was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the remnants of the tablet.
Ancient Songzi is also curious about the Reverse Divine Tablet, directly using spiritual power to probe, searching the river, but, unfortunately, nothing, nothing to find.
After probing three times and not finding anything, Gu Songzi was a bit discouraged, and after returning, he saw Zhang Ruochen sitting under a tree and drinking, his brows furrowed as he walked over, saying, “Could it be that you want to be just like the crazy person who drinks, and in the future, be a drunkard?”
“What’s wrong with that?”Zhang Ruochen asked.
Naturally, Gu Songzi already knew what exactly happened a year ago, and how great of an impact that incident had on Zhang Ruochen, saying, “In the major temples, the statue of Empress Chi Yao’s deity still emanates divine light, but the Heaven and Earth Sacred Qi in the Central Imperial City has drastically diminished.”
“What are you trying to say?”Zhang Ruochen took a sip of wine.
“The Empress left the Central Imperial City, and even left the Kunlun Realm.”
“So what?”
“Nowadays, the person in charge of the First Central Empire is …… that ex-wife of yours, Huang Yichen. You’re surprised, aren’t you?”
Gu Songzi spoke while observing Zhang Ruochen’s expression.
Only to see that Zhang Ruochen’s expression did not change a single bit, as if he had heard just a stranger’s name, saying, “Not surprised.”
“This woman betrayed you and defected to your enemy for the sake of glory and wealth, don’t you want to kill her?”Gu Songzi revealed a ruthless look and made a neck-wiping gesture.
He wanted to stimulate Zhang Ruochen in this way, so that Zhang Ruochen would regain his motivation and rejuvenate his vigour, instead of being as twilight as he was now, as if he was waiting to die.
“To kill, a year ago, outside the Zi Wei Palace, I already killed her.”Zhang Ruochen said very casually.
Gu Songzi said, “Why didn’t you kill?”
“When the enmity is severed, there is no more relationship, no different from a stranger. Why kill someone who doesn’t have any relationship?”Zhang Ruochen asked rhetorically.
“That’s true, after all, she was once gracious to you as well, and you were once affectionate towards her, so killing her with a single sword would appear to be too unrighteous on your part. Now that the favour has been broken, there is no longer any burden.”
Gu Songzi nodded, then, his eyes narrowed, and he tentatively said, “Or, should I take a risk and go to the Central Imperial City to kill her?”
“If you’re really free, there’s no harm in trying.”
Zhang Ruochen carried the wine jug and stood up, looking at the sunset in the sky with somewhat deep eyes.
“It’s better to forget about it, the imperial court is full of experts, the water is very deep, unless it’s Lord Saint Ancestor himself, there’s only a few chances of success. Anyone else, no matter who it is, will have no return if they go. It’s strange to say that a year ago, Lord Saint Ancestor said that she would let us wait for her to return, but she never returned. Could she have met with something untoward, could it be that the Empress stepped in and killed her?”Gu Songzi once again irritated Zhang Ruochen.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes indeed revealed a sharp light.
Realising that Zhang Ruochen’s knot in his heart might not be on Huang Yichen’s body, but on the Empress’s, Gu Songzi renewed his efforts and said in a colourful manner, “The Sacred Ancestor is the Empress’s archenemy, after the Empress became a god, she beheaded the ten Blood Emperors in a row, and bloodied the Barbarian Wasteland Mystic Realm and the four directions of the sea, so how could it be possible that the Empress didn’t kill the Sacred Ancestor?”
“Enough!”
Zhang Ruochen chortled coldly and said, “If Lan You dies, I will exterminate Chi Yao’s nine clans.”
“If you want to exterminate a deity’s nine clans, you must first possess the strength to fight against the deity, right? Drinking to paralyse yourself will only make you more and more wasted, not to mention fighting against deities, old me can crush you so much that you can’t even lift your head.”Gu Songzi said.
“Is that so?”
Zhang Ruochen’s pupils turned dark red, his aura changed, an invisible cold aura surged through his body, and with a single movement, he crashed towards Gu Songzi.
Obviously a person, after rushing out, he turned into a sword shadow, stabbing straight towards Gu Songzi’s heart.
Surprised, Gu Songzi hastily mobilised his spiritual energy and condensed a two-meter diameter formation seal in his palm, pressing forward to ward off Zhang Ruochen’s attack.
However, the power of Zhang Ruochen’s stabbing sword was incomparably cohesive.
“Boom.”
The tip of the sword pierced through the formation seal and stabbed at Gu Songzi’s chest.
On Gu Songzi’s body, a protective amulet spell exploded, blocking the sword, however, his body was shaken by the power of the sword, sending him flying backwards.
Gu Songzi landed on the ground, covering his chest, staring at Zhang Ruochen, who had reassembled into his human form, and said in surprise, “Sword Intent Condensing Sword, you have already cultivated into a Sword Saint?”
“How did you fight when you were fine?”
The Wine Crazy Man rushed over, carrying the Reverse God Tablet, and appeared between Zhang Ruochen and Gu Songzi, separating the two.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was actually able to repel Gu Songzi, Wine Crazy’s heart was actually quite surprised.
Although Gu Songzi was not good at fighting, however, his formation attainments were quite profound, and even a formation seal formed at random was not something that an ordinary Saint could pierce through.
“Isn’t it a good thing to be able to fight?”
Gu Songzi asked rhetorically, and suddenly, his eyes condensed and he let out a cold laugh, “What a powerful sneaking technique, it’s only after you’ve come within a hundred feet that old me spotted you.”
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen and the Wine Crazy Man also noticed something and stared towards the ground at the same time.
The dark red light in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes gradually receded as he stepped on the ground, and a thick Xuan Huang Sacred Qi, like a wave, travelled into the ground.
“Rumble.”
A miserable scream came out from the ground, followed by a strangely ugly, short and thin man, who flew out from the ground and crashed heavily into the ground.
“Master Dust, Master Dust, it’s me, I’m the Divine Demon Mouse, the head mouse of the Moon Worshipping Divine Sect’s Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, it’s all one’s own ……”
The short and thin man climbed up from the ground, respectfully saluting Zhang Ruochen with a fawning smile, “Congratulations to Master Dust on being named a Sword Saint, congratulations.”
Just now, the sword that Zhang Ruochen had erupted from made the first rat feel a huge pressure, it must be a Sword Saint. Facing a Sword Saint, the Head Rat didn’t dare to be as casual as before, naturally, he had to be quite respectful.
Zhang Ruochen lifted the wine pot, sat down on the ground and started drinking again, saying, “How did you find your way here?”?
“It was Master Black who told me that you were here.”The Divine Demon Mouse said.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes regained some of their lustre and said, “Little Black? How did it know I was here?”
“Master Black said that it is omnipresent, omniscient, slaying the heavens and killing the earth, omnipotent, and can know the world’s affairs with a pinch of its fingers.”
When the Divine Demon Mouse said this, its eyes were glowing, and there was a look of reverence in its eyes.
Zhang Ruochen knew at a glance that the God Demon Mouse must have been brainwashed by Little Black and asked, “Where is it?”
“Didn’t I tell you just now?”The Divine Demon Mouse said.
Not far away, the Wine Crazy Man and Ancient Songzi were both slightly stunned, when had it been said?
Zhang Ruochen said, “It’s everywhere?”
“That’s right.”
The Divine Demon Mouse said very seriously.
Hearing this, the hearts of the Wine Crazy Man and Ancient Songzi were immediately 100,000 grass budding horses running, having seen those who were able to brag, they had never seen those who were so able to do so.
The most important thing was that a Taikoo relic species that had crossed into the Saint realm had actually believed in its words. Both the Wine Crazy Man and Ancient Songzi sighed in their hearts that the disciples of the Divine Sect were not as good as one generation.
Zhang Ruochen asked again, “What did it ask you to come for?”
