The Purple Divine Stone was seized from the Spirit Quan Young Monarch, and Zhang Ruochen had studied it for a long time, but he hadn’t been able to study through its material, and had only detected that within it, it contained an extremely powerful Divine Force.
And it was so hard that even the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword could not leave a mark on it.
But Ling Xiu, it seemed to have recognised it.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Does senior know what this is?”
Ling Xiu’s eyes were quite grave as he nodded and said, “It is related to the Stone Clan, one of the three upper clans of Hell, and if I’m not mistaken, it should be a part of the body of a god of the Stone Clan, and …… it’s still quite an important part of it.”
“Equivalent to a piece of God’s bone?” Zhang Ruochen said.
“I’m afraid it’s a bit more precious than a divine bone… You have to know that the God of the Stone Clan can be called immortal, and even if it’s shattered, it can still regroup its divine body. How easy is it to get a divine stone from it?”
Ling Xiu twisted the purple divine stone between his two fingers, opened the Heavenly Eye in his brow to gaze at it, and added, “The interior of this divine stone is intertwined with densely-packed rules, the kind of rules that far surpass the rules of the Sacred Dao. If the owner of this divine stone is still alive, it should be an incomparably terrifying existence.”
To be able to make a Spiritual Power Great Saint feel incomparably terrifying, then, it was definitely a taboo-like figure.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Can senior set it on top of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword?”
Ling Xiu shook his head and said, “This has to do with refining weapons, and what I am least good at is refining weapons. Moreover, the material used to forge the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword is the Divine Iron of Creation, and trying to set the Purple Divine Stone on top of the sword body is not an easy task.”
There were specialisations in the arts, and even Great Saints were not omnipotent.
Zhang Ruochen put away both the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and the Purple Divine Stone, preparing to have the Divine Sword Holy Land’s Sword Casting Master try in the future. After all, back then, the Divine Sword Holy Land was able to restore the broken Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword again, so he thought that it shouldn’t be difficult to inlay a purple divine stone.
In these few days, Su Jing, Su Qingling, Ling Mi, Wen Shusheng, and Mu Lingshi, whose injuries, had already healed, came to the Devil Palace to thank and bid farewell to Ling Xiu and Ling Fei Yu.
Zhang Ruochen stood at the side, just after Su Jing and Ling Xiu had finished their courtesies, before he was the one who said, “After Wu Hao’s death, there is always a need for someone to fill in that slot for him, since it’s a matter of thanking him, why don’t we, with some sincerity, give this slot to the Lichu Sacred Domain?”
Su Jing was a bit hesitant, after all, the quota to go to the Truth Divine Hall for training was quite precious, how could it be distributed to the cultivators of the Kunlun Realm?
Ling Fei Yu, however, knew that Zhang Ruochen was giving her a chance.
Ling Xiu stared towards Zhang Ruochen, revealing an admiring smile that almost didn’t come out, “Good brat, it’s not in vain that old me thinks highly of you, you’re still very devoted to Fei Yu!”
Su Jing was, after all, a party hegemon with great resilience, and laughed, “The Broad Cold Realm indeed owes the Lingxiu Great Sage a great favour, and using a quota to pay it back would have been the right thing to do. Only, I’m afraid that such a great matter must be reported to father, or the Moon God, before a decision can be made.”
Anyone could hear that Su Jing was shirking his words.
“I’ll send a message to the Moon God and let her decide.”
Zhang Ruochen was quite decisive and immediately burned a summoning light talisman and punched it out.
Not long after, another summoning light talisman flew into the Demon Hall and landed in Zhang Ruochen’s hands. Seeing the content on top of the transmission light talisman, Zhang Ruochen revealed a smile, “The Moon God has agreed to my proposal.”
“How could that be?”
Su Jing’s heart was secretly shocked, feeling unbelievable, and hurriedly walked over to Zhang Ruochen, saying, “Let me take a look.”
Zhang Ruochen generously handed him the Transmission Light Talisman, handing it to him. ”
A single divine text on top of the light
talisman was indeed a text that the Moon God had branded on with his spiritual intent, Su Jing’s heart rose and fell as if a river had turned over, incomparably shocked.
Looking at Zhang Ruochen again, Su Jing actually felt a few moments of pressure.
This young man in front of him was no longer as simple as a half-step Saint King. This son was actually able to directly contact the Moon God, and furthermore, the Moon God had even agreed to this rather excessive proposal.
Even with Su Jing’s cultivation and status today, he wasn’t even qualified to speak directly with the Moon God yet.
What did this indicate?
It showed that Zhang Ruochen’s weight in the Moon God’s heart was even heavier than everyone expected, and it was no wonder that the Moon God had directly attacked the Merit Divine Hall in order to save him.
Zhang Ruochen, however, was not surprised at all.
The Moon God had taken the Moon Leaf of the Seven Star Godling and one million Saint Sources from his hands, so if he didn’t even agree to this small request from Zhang Ruochen, he would be too petty.
Half a day later.
Ling Fei Yu and Zhang Ruochen’s group, together, exited and headed to the Merit Divine Hall.
On the way, Su Jing complained to Zhang Ruochen, saying, ”Empress Chi Yao killed a God of the Hell Realm, and received a total of twenty slots to enter the Temple of Truth and Virtue for cultivation, whereas we, the Guanghan Realm, only have six, and now we’re even sharing one with the Kunlun Realm. Zhang Ruochen, this is very unfair!”
Zhang Ruochen sat with Su Jing without an ounce of pressure and said, “I’ve heard that the quota for the Temple of Truth isn’t just released to the public, but cultivators can also fight for it on their own?”
“Indeed, that’s true, that’s the Divine Hall of Truth, a kind of reward and spur for the true pride of heaven. But …… it’s too difficult! For so many years, there hasn’t been any cultivator in the Guanghan Realm who has done it.”
Su Jing added, “What? You want to give it a try?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “The Sea of Truth, the Mountain of Truth, and the Bridge of Truth. But whoever has entered the Temple of Truth to cultivate, who wouldn’t want to go through it? Since I am now a part of the Guanghan Realm, of course I have to fight for some spots for the Guanghan Realm.”
Thinking of Zhang Ruochen’s terrifying natural talent, as well as the status of being the number one in the Saint’s Merit List, Su Jing, who originally hadn’t placed any hope in it, gradually, was actually looking forward to it a little.
While others couldn’t do it, this fellow, Zhang Ruochen, might not be unable to do it.
Zhang Ruochen seemed to have thought of something and then asked, ”Uncle Jing, I have a question in my mind. In this Merit War, both the Guanghan Realm and the Kunlun Realm paid a huge price and killed many cultivators from the Hell Realm. Why was the Kunlun Realm able to obtain the merit treasures bestowed by the Merit Divine Hall, but the Guanghan Realm did not?”
Su Jing revealed a bitter smile, it was obvious that he was also quite unwilling, but he didn’t say a single word and just shook his head.
“Related to me?” Zhang Ruochen said.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen had already guessed it, Su Jing no longer hid it and said, “It’s not a big deal to tell you, you’ll know sooner or later anyway. That day, the Moon God could be said to have offended the entire Merit Divine Hall in order to save you. In order to punish the Broad Cold Realm, the Merit Divine Hall did not release the share of Merit Treasures that originally belonged to the Broad Cold Realm.”
“Zhang Ruochen, you shouldn’t take it to heart, it’s not like the Merit Divine Hall has been targeting the Broad Cold Realm for a day or two. Even if it wasn’t because of you, the Merit Divine Hall would have found another excuse to continue suppressing the Guanghan Realm.”
Because of himself, countless cultivators of the Guanghan Realm had taken their lives in exchange for their merits, but they were not rewarded, so how could Zhang Ruochen not take it to heart?
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, became very stern: “If the Merit Divine Hall is so unjust, it should be knocked down ……” “In the
Celestial Court Realm, one must not desecrate the gods and divine halls, even if there is any more hatred in one’s heart, one can only keep it hidden in one’s heart. It must be held back.”
Su Jing hurriedly stopped Zhang Ruochen from continuing, the kind of words that rebelled against the Divine Hall, the Moon God could say it, that was because the Moon God had great strength, and the Merit Divine Hall couldn’t help her.
But if Zhang Ruochen said that, in case the Deities of the Merit Divine Hall heard it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath to calm the anger in his heart and said, ”The debt owed by the Merit Divine Hall, I will sooner or later help the Guanghan Realm to recover it. Isn’t Shang Ziwei trying to kill me? Then let’s see who kills who.”
For the next few days, their group had been rushing.
Zhang Ruochen, on the other hand, devoted his entire body and mind to cultivation, cultivating the palm techniques while comprehending the rules of the palm dao, only wanting to cultivate the eleventh palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm to a minor, or even a major, success as soon as possible.
…… The Truth
Divine Hall, like the Merit Divine Hall, has an incomparable status in the Heavenly Court Realm, and it is for this reason that it is able to exclusively occupy a heavenly realm named the “Truth Heavenly Realm”.
The Truth Heavenly Domain was not as vast as the Shatuo Heavenly Domain, but the cultivation environment was more than ten times better, and it was a pilgrimage place that cultivators from all walks of life in the Universe could only dream of, and many deities used to cultivate here when they were young, and left behind their own caves and relics.
If you want to join the Temple of Truth and stay in the Heavenly Domain of Truth, it is not an easy thing to do, and the harsh recruitment conditions are enough to keep ninety-nine per cent of the prideful sons of heaven out of the door.
Of course, besides worshipping the Truth Divine Hall and becoming a disciple of the Truth Divine Hall.
The Truth Divine Hall would also release some quotas to the major worlds, and the more powerful the world was, the higher the merit value, the more quotas it would receive.
For example, without special rewards, the Guanghan World could only get three slots every ten years.
However, there were some powerful worlds that received ten or a hundred times as many slots as the Guanghan Realm every month. In this way, it also created a phenomenon where the stronger the realm got, the weaker the realm got.
If one wanted to revitalise a weak realm, they had to work ten or a hundred times harder than others, and they also had to have great chances.
At the border of the Truth Heavenly Domain, on a vast plain, there were dozens of spatial teleportation arrays established, a ray of light flashed in the arrays, and every now and then, there were cultivators from all the major worlds, walking out of the teleportation arrays.
“Wow-” With
a flash of light, the figures of Su Jing, Zhang Ruochen, and the others appeared inside one of the teleportation arrays. Immediately after walking out of the formation, a disciple of the Truth Divine Hall greeted them and checked the Truth Seal Orders on them.
There were a total of six Truth Seal Orders, which were sent to the Guanghan Realm when the Truth Divine Hall released the quotas.
That disciple of the Truth Divine Hall, named Han Xingyu, looked to be in his thirties, with an unimpressive appearance, after checking the six Truth Seal Orders, a look of contempt appeared on his face, and he laughed, ”So, you are cultivators from the Guanghan Realm, funny joke, go ahead, go over there and register first. This senior who escorted them over, you also need to go over and receive a token seal to temporarily stay in the Truth Heavenly Realm. Cultivators who don’t have a token seal, once they are discovered, they will be expelled if it’s light, or directly executed if it’s heavy.”
Hearing that phrase, “So you’re cultivators from the Guanghan Realm,” the contempt in his tone made the few Guanghan Realm cultivators present all feel quite harsh.
Not just disciples of the Truth Divine Hall, what’s so great about it?
Han Yan could see the dissatisfaction in their hearts, but he was even more disdainful, secretly saying in his heart, ”A cultivator from a great world ranked in the bottom three thinks he’s a first-rate character in the Mother Realm, but when he comes to the Truth Heavenly Realm, he’s nothing. It might not be long before the entire world is turned into a battlefield and destroyed in the conquest, completely disappearing into the Heavenly Realm. Cultivators from such a weak realm don’t have an ounce of need to befriend them.”
Right at this moment, a voice came from the distance, “The Ruiya Realm’s Dead Void Divine Son has arrived, Han Yan hurriedly went to greet him.”
“The Undead Void Godchild has come to the Truth Heavenly Realm to cultivate again, great, in the past, I was the one who received him, making many of the senior sisters who adore the Undead Void Godchild jealous, this time we mustn’t let them get the jump on us, there aren’t many chances to be able to befriend the Undead Void Godchild.”
Han Yan’s heart was overjoyed, and without paying any more attention to Zhang Ruochen and the others, he immediately rushed over to the distance.
Mu Lingshi stood beside Zhang Ruochen, her hands clasped in front of her chest as she silently watched this dramatic scene, only feeling amused as she said, “It seems that not every disciple of the Truth Divine Hall is an elite with a proud backbone, but there are also those who are dragon climbers and dog-eyed.”
