(Sweat, the last chapter wrote a bug, FengYinCicada has indeed been shot, perhaps small fish too much like this name, can not forget her, cry dead. See the book review area readers pointed out, in the first time to make a change, changed to seal silver cicada’s sister “seal silver shadow”. I’d like to thank the readers who pointed it out to me.)
……
Near the end of the year, the weather is cold, giving people a faint coolness.
Qinghong Pavilion, located in the depths of a bamboo forest, with small bridges and flowing water, quiet and secluded, in stark contrast to the bustling Central Imperial City.
The Sacred Book Talented Lady was sitting in the pavilion, in a rare instance, changing into a woman’s outfit made of cold ice snow gauze material, her skin was like congealed grease, her eyebrows were light, and her long black hair was neatly combed.
She was making tea, her two slender jade hands looked exceptionally elegant, and every move of her hands was full of spiritual flavour.
Under the heavens, I don’t know how many cultivators, their greatest dream was to be able to look at the immortal face of the Sacred Arts Talented Lady. If one could drink tea and discuss the Dao with her, then even if one’s life span was reduced by a hundred years, I’m afraid that many people would be willing to do so.
Zhang Ruochen walked through the bamboo path and arrived outside the Green Rainbow Pavilion, gently sniffed and laughed, ”Holy Dao Ancient Tea. That stingy old man, Chu Si Yuan, would even give you the tea leaves of the Holy Dao Ancient Tea?”
The Saint Book Talent Girl’s small mouth gently pursed and smiled, “He is indeed stingy, so I personally climbed up to the Confucian Ancestral Ancient Tea Tree to pick the tea leaves, and picked all of the mature Saint Dao Ancient Tea. He is still gnashing his teeth when he sees me now.”
Zhang Ruochen laughed, able to imagine how wonderful Chu Siyuan’s expression was, and with that, walked in into into the Qinghong Pavilion and sat across from her.
The Sacred Book Talent Lady picked up a luminous teacup and handed it over to Zhang Ruochen’s hands, her voice incomparably gentle as she said, “Have a taste.”
Zhang Ruochen took a sip, savoured it, nodded, and said, “Worthy of being the Sacred Book Talented Lady, all the teas you cook are more fragrant than those cooked by others.”
“I thought you would compliment tea, but I didn’t expect that you would know how to compliment people now, no wonder you were able to capture the hearts of so many women.”The Sacred Book Talented Lady said.
Zhang Ruochen put down his teacup and laughed, “Although the Sacred Dao Ancient Tea is precious, but putting it together with the Sacred Book Talented Lady, I’m afraid that all the men in the world would focus their attention on the latter.”
“So, you have something to ask of me.”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady picked up the teapot again, poured a full cup, and moved the teacup to Zhang Ruochen’s face.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Could it be that you are only complimented when something is asked of you?”
“Isn’t it?”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady asked rhetorically.
Zhang Ruochen was silent for a moment and opened the door, “I want to know what important figures from the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan and Corpse Catching Ancient Clan came to the Central Imperial City? Their cultivation levels? Their base card means? Where they are hiding?”
The Sacred Book Talent Maiden sighed quietly, “You’re really still so scene-stealing, can’t we simply drink tea and discuss the Dao, and not talk about all the killing and hatred? You should have been clear that with me in the Central Imperial City, even if the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan and the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan came with more experts, it would be impossible for them to injure Concubine Lin for even a single moment.”
“What about tonight?”Zhang Ruochen said.
The Sacred Book Talent Maiden said, “That Knight Sage Elder from the Ghost Cultivating Ancient Clan? He blew up his Saint Origin, but was knocked into Void Space by you.”
It was surprising that she knew so clearly, which meant that she was most likely nearby at that time, witnessing everything in the Boundary Son’s Mansion with her own eyes.
However, Zhang Ruochen was surprisingly unaware of it at that time.
Zhang Ruochen stared closely at the Sacred Book Talented Lady across from him and said, “The strength of your spiritual power has reached the fifty-fourth rank?”
“You, a martial artist who cultivates the physical body’s spiritual strength has reached the fifty-third rank, if I hadn’t reached the fifty-fourth rank, wouldn’t it appear that the Sacred Book Talented Lady is a bit of a misnomer?”Sacred Book Talented Lady laughed.
Zhang Ruochen asked again, “How did you know that I would come to the Central Imperial City?”
“Sacred Book Talented Lady knows everything and everything, wouldn’t it be a breeze to know your whereabouts?”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady deliberately revealed a proud and self-satisfied look, and only when she saw that Zhang Ruochen was still serious, did she feel a bit bored and put away her smile, saying, “Do you know about the Heaven and Earth Chess Game?”
“Slightly heard of it.”Zhang Ruochen said.
The Sacred Book Talent Maiden said, “Although you have treasures on your body that conceal your aura and heavenly chances, however, you cannot hide it from the Heaven and Earth Chess Game. Your name, which I personally carved onto the top of the chess pieces, how could I not know your whereabouts?”
The Heaven and Earth Chess Game was a great secret of the Confucianism and the imperial court, and it had a great deal to do with it, thus, the Sacred Book Talented Lady did not go into details, but only mentioned it.
Zhang Ruochen said, “You carved Zhang Ruochen’s name?”
“If the name on top of the chess piece was Zhang Ruochen, wouldn’t you have survived until now?”The Sacred Book Talented Lady said.
“Thanks a lot.”
Zhang Ruochen was very clear that the Sacred Book Talented Maiden must have taken a great risk by altering the Heaven and Earth Chess Game, as if it was a sin of deceiving the heavens, and once she was found out, she would surely have to bear terrible consequences.
Zhang Ruochen added, “How can I truly avoid the monitoring of the Heaven and Earth Chess Game?”
“Unless you leave the Kunlun Realm and hide in another world, the Heaven and Earth Chess Game will keep locking onto your Sacred Soul, leaving you with nothing to hide.”The Sacred Book Talented Lady said.
“So the Heaven and Earth Chess Game locks onto the Saint Soul.”
Zhang Ruochen recited to himself, then, said, “When you go back, change the name on the chess piece back, I don’t want to involve you.”
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden’s heart stirred as she said, “You’re leaving the Kunlun Realm?”
“Not yet, but I have a way to avoid the lock of the Heaven and Earth Chess Game.”Zhang Ruochen said.
The Qiankun Realm had already been born out, and Zhang Ruochen could completely hide his Saint Soul inside the Qiankun Realm, in which case, the Heaven and Earth Chess Bureau would naturally be unable to find him.
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden knew that Zhang Ruochen was a person with a solution, thus she didn’t ask more questions, and only after a long time, did she say meaningfully, “You shouldn’t have come to the Central Imperial City, it’s too dangerous!”
“I didn’t want to come either, but I had to.”Zhang Ruochen’s eyes carried a cold light as he said, “If you want to deal with me, I have no problem with it, but if you deal with my family, I will definitely double it.”
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen’s attitude was resolute and was unlikely to give up, the Sacred Book Talented Lady said, “Feng Yinying, the eldest princess of the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan and the elder sister of Feng Yincicada, with her cultivation at the early True Saint realm, she is definitely a first-rate powerhouse. Feng Yin Cicada was killed by you, so you should understand why she is dealing with you, right?”
“I’m afraid that her dealing with me is more than simply revenge. The treasures on my body, she should want them too, right?”Zhang Ruochen said.
“Don’t be gullible, Feng Yinying has extremely high attainments in the Dao of raising ghosts. Moreover, as far as I currently know, she has raised at least six Ghost Kings.”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady then spoke a second name: “Spirit King Saint Ancestor, an old ancestor of the Ghost Rearing Ancient Clan who has lived for a thousand years, with an unfathomable cultivation level, it is said that not long ago, he reached the second graduated monument of the Emperor Divine Ruler, and spent three days there in enlightenment.”
“One of the Ten Great Divine Artifacts, the Emperor Divine Ruler, has actually come out?”Zhang Ruochen was slightly surprised.
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden said, “The Emperor Emperor Divine Ruler has never disappeared, it is kept in the Inscription Guild, guarded by the ten elders of the Inscription Guild. Only, only characters at the Saint King level can sense the existence of the Emperor Divine Ruler. Characters below Saint Kings don’t know this secret at all.”
Legend had it that the Emperor Divine Ruler was used to measure the cultivation realms of Emperors, and it also contained the Great Sage Way.
If the Saint King realm wanted to raise their realm, other than the Great Sage personally preaching the Way, going to the Emperor Divine Ruler to realise the Way was the fastest way to cultivate.
The Inscription Guild had always been a neutral force in the Kunlun Realm, recruiting spiritual cultivators from all over the world, not only did it have chapters in the Human Race, but also in the Barbarian Beasts’ various races, and it could be called the most mysterious force in the Kunlun Realm with the longest history, yet it did not participate in any strife.
Therefore, all beings who had reached the Saint King realm were able to go to the top of the Emperor Divine Ruler to enlighten themselves.
For the Spirit King Saint Ancestor to be able to reach the second Scale Monument to enlighten the Holy Dao, it was clear that it was by no means a figure that had just reached the Saint King realm, and his cultivation was indeed somewhat unfathomable.
“Spirit King Saint Ancestor is also in the Central Imperial City?”Zhang Ruochen asked.
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden nodded and said, “Right now, he should still be fighting with the Demon Sect’s Sacred Feminine Prime Exalt, Ling Fei Yu.”
To be able to fight with the Spirit King Sacred Ancestor, it could be seen that Ling Fei Yu must have already reached the Saint King realm. With Ling Fei Yu’s attainments in the Dao of the Sword, once he reached the Saint King realm, his combat power was by no means comparable to that of an ordinary Saint King. Thus, Zhang Ruochen was not particularly worried about her.
“Other than Feng Yin Ying and the Spirit King Saint Ancestor, what other powerhouses are there?”Zhang Ruochen asked.
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden said, “The Heaven’s Destiny Corpse Emperor.”?”Heavenly Fate Corpse Emperor?”Zhang Ruochen said.
The Sacred Book Talented Woman said, “That’s right, but the Heavenly Fate Great Emperor has already died, and even if he comes back to life, there is still a corpse aura left in his body, which is why he is called the Heavenly Fate Corpse Emperor. Nowadays, the Heavenly Fate Corpse Emperor is cultivating in the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan and is considered a member of the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan.”
“I must tell you one thing, not long ago, the Heavenly Fate Corpse Emperor wanted to retrieve the Heavenly Fate Talisman, and fought with Ten Thousand Trillion once, with a scoreless draw.”
Zhang Ruochen’s brows tightened as he said, “To think that he is already able to fight against Ten Thousand Trillion, his cultivation speed is too fast!”
“After all, he is at the level of a Great Emperor, his understanding of the Sacred Dao is not something we can compare to, and I’m not even surprised if he cultivates even faster. If his speed is not as fast as you and I, instead, it would only surprise me.”
The Sacred Book Talent Maiden continued, “Besides the three of them, the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan and Corpse Catching Ancient Clan also have some old monsters that have been famous for hundreds of years, yet, they are not a threat to you, so there is no need to introduce them.”
“Many thanks.”
Zhang Ruochen uttered the word thank you for the second time.
The Sacred Book Talented Lady told Zhang Ruochen the hiding place of the Feng Yin Shadow, and then, took out a jade box and handed it to Zhang Ruochen with a faint smile, “Knowing that you can use it, I specially went to beg for one for you.”
Zhang Ruochen opened the jade box, and a vast Xuan Huang Qi escaped, filling the Green Rainbow Pavilion, as if there were densely-packed rules of the Sacred Dao that also shot out.
“Xuan Huang Dan.”
A look of delight appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes as he immediately covered the box.
Legend had it that the Xuan Huang Dan could help Saints cultivate Xuan Huang Qi and break through to the Xuan Huang Realm, it was a kind of Sacred Dan that could not be found, only a Great Sage of Spirituality who collected the Sacred Dao Rules would be able to condense it, and it was extremely difficult to do so.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t ask the Sacred Book Talented Lady where she had gone to beg for the Xuan Huang Dan, but in his heart, he was incomparably grateful because, indeed, he desperately wanted to break through to the Xuan Huang Realm right now.
“Are you going to thank me for a third time?”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady smiled faintly, staring at Zhang Ruochen without blinking, always feeling that the more she let Zhang Ruochen owe her a favour, the happier her mood would be.
Perhaps, paying for someone was also a very happy thing.
Of course, the Sacred Book Talent Maiden was a smart woman and did not want this kind of giving to turn into a psychological burden for Zhang Ruochen, so she added, “Don’t ever think too much about it, I’m just repaying you for that favour you once saved me from. The one who should say thank you should be me.”
