The one who crossed over from the curtain of light was Feng Yan.
Feng Yan looked towards the back of the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden not far away and laughed, “This iceberg-like Heavenly Maiden Your Highness seems to have said something remarkable to Brother Zhang? It couldn’t be that Brother Zhang’s stunning performance has actually captured the Heavenly Maiden’s heart?”
“Don’t joke, how noble is the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden, how could she possibly look at a mere layman like me?”
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen harnessed the Ark of Truth and carefully travelled forward.
The fifth layer of the sea was too much harder to cross than the fourth layer of the sea, and Zhang Ruochen was unable to control the Ark of Truth even after releasing his spiritual power and two hundred and forty-seven Truth Rules completely.
In the end, one hundred and forty-four orifices all over his body emitted a steady stream of holy qi, wrapping around the Ark of Truth, before he could barely navigate forward.
Beside him, Feng Yan also revealed a cautious expression, releasing his spiritual power, holy qi, and more than two thousand Truth Rules completely before he was able to make the Ark of Truth move forward smoothly.
Feng Yan glanced towards Zhang Ruochen, a look of admiration appearing in his eyes, ”Only having cultivated more than two hundred Truth Rules, he was actually able to cross over to the fifth layer of the sea area in a hard way. If, however, he possesses as many Truth Rules as I do, even if he crosses to the sixth layer of the sea, it shouldn’t be a difficult task, right?”
After sailing all the way forward, about eight miles or so, Zhang Ruochen finally crashed into the sea.
The Green Fangs defeated the guards of the fourth layer of the sea, but, having just entered the fifth layer of the sea, they were unable to continue controlling the Ark of Truth and crashed into the sea even before Zhang Ruochen.
When Zhang Ruochen returned to the shore, the Green Fangs approached him, and with a grin on his lips, he said, “This King already knows who you are, is it interesting to continue wearing a mask?”
“There is no meaning. However, I am going to keep wearing it, what can you do to me?”Zhang Ruochen said.
The Green Fangs hated Zhang Ruochen with a passion, just because, the Moon God Dojo was arranged with time formations and space formations, and it was impossible to break in. Otherwise, Zhang Ruochen had killed so many Yin-Yang Realm cultivators and destroyed the Yin-Yang Hall, so how could the Green Fang not go and take revenge?
“In the Truth Heavenly Domain, this king cannot kill you, breaking your hands and legs is still possible.”
Green Fang Tooth’s hands were cupped into a claw shape, with a large amount of Pure Destruction Divine Flame erupting out from the centre of his claws as he attacked Zhang Ruochen with a claw. Because there were more than a thousand truth rules incorporated, this claw of the Green Fang exploded with three times its power.
“Swish.”
Zhang Ruochen used a spatial shift and disappeared into place, appearing several dozen feet away, easily avoiding Green Fang’s attack, and then, faintly said, “You’re not my opponent, don’t make a fool of yourself.”
“Earth Sea Bell.”
The Green Fang stretched out one of his right hands, and in the palm of his hand, a small and delicate bronze ancient bell emerged, with strands of Demonic Fiend Qi flowing on it, and at a glance, it was clear that it was not an ordinary Ten Thousand Stripes Sacred Artifact.
Zhang Ruochen summoned the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and grasped it in his hand, ready to meet the battle.
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword had a time imprint engraved on it, which could chop away the Green Fang’s lifespan unknowingly.
Since, the Green Fangs took the initiative to provoke, Zhang Ruochen also decided to take this opportunity to get rid of this enemy who was still somewhat of a threat.
Just as the two of them were about to make their move, Feng Yan returned to the shore and stopped them, “The Sea of Truth prohibits all battles, if the Divine Transmission Disciples were to show up, both of you would be imprisoned in the Sacred Prison for at least a year.”
The Green Fangs had some scruples in their hearts, so they put away the Earth Sea Clock and left the Sea of Truth straight away.
Before leaving, the Green Fang Teeth also glared fiercely at Zhang Ruochen, full of resentment, as long as he was allowed to find an opportunity, he would definitely deal with Zhang Ruochen with the most ruthless means.
Zhang Ruochen was secretly vigilant, pondering, how to avoid the rules of the Truth Divine Hall and get rid of Green Fangtooth.
After all, a strong person like the Green Fang would indeed pose a huge threat to Zhang Ruochen if he was intent on trying to kill him.
Feng Yan said solemnly, ”The Yin Yang Realm is powerful, although more than half of the experts died in battle during the battle at the Moon God Dojo. However, there are still some powerful figures that are spread out in other dojos in the Yin Yang Realm. Brother Zhang, you must be careful and on guard in the future.”
“Understood.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and then asked, “Just now, I was entangled by the Green Fangs and didn’t get to see Brother Feng’s overwhelming heroism of crossing the sea. I wonder if Brother Feng has crossed the fifth layer of the sea yet?”
“Luckily you didn’t see it.”
Feng Yan sighed, “I just encountered the guardian of the fifth layer of the sea domain, and the other party only made one move before sending me crashing into the sea, losing miserably.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Actually, it’s not something to be ashamed of. Many celestials who stand at the very top of a great world strive for their entire lives, but they are not qualified to fight with the guardians of the fifth layer of the sea.”
“Said as if it makes sense ……”
Feng Yan’s gaze was fixed on the Sea of Truth, his pupils became bigger and bigger, his heart was a bit unpleasing, and he muttered, “The Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden crossed the fifth layer of the sea! Amazing, there really are people beyond the heavens.”?
Zhang Ruochen was also looking out over the sixth layer of the sea, looking at that clear and beautiful figure with a great touch in his heart.
The universe was too vast, no one knew how many geniuses and juniors were hidden, you were excellent, but there was always someone better than you. You are very strong, but there is always someone stronger than you.
Arriving at the sixth layer of the sea, the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden didn’t continue sailing forward, but stopped, turned the Boat of Truth, and crossed from the sixth layer of the sea all the way to the shore, maintaining the most elegant and perfect posture from start to finish, and on her body, she couldn’t pick out a single blemish.
What greeted her were the envious, worshipful, jealous, and respectful looks of countless cultivators on the shore.
There was no way, the performance of the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden was too stunning, only one step of the Saint King’s cultivation, that is, to reach the sixth layer of the sea, even if it was not unprecedented, it was enough to be ranked in the top ten from ancient times to the present day.
It could be expected that this feat of the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden would definitely shake the entire Truth Heavenly Domain and even spread throughout the Heavenly Court Realm.
Feng Yan let out a bitter smile, ”See, how smart others are, knowing that they can’t cross the sixth layer of the sea, they directly choose not to cross. It’s not like us, we made ourselves in a terrible mess and showed all our ugly faces, but we still couldn’t cross the fifth layer of the sea. The same is a step Saint King, but the contrast is so too obvious, both of us have become her companions, it’s really a bit of a shame.”
“This woman is indeed very powerful and knows how to make trade-offs, able to make the most correct choices, smart is very smart, it’s a pity ……”
Speaking here, Zhang Ruochen stopped and did not continue.
Because, the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden standing on the shore, as if she had heard Zhang Ruochen and Feng Yan’s voice transmission, her pair of moving eyes stared at his body, revealing a listening expression.
“With Feng Yan and I’s cultivation level, transmitting and communicating with each other’s voices, she was even able to eavesdrop?”Zhang Ruochen was astonished.
Thousand Star Celestial Maiden’s voice came into Zhang Ruochen’s ears, “What’s the pity?”
The voice was light, yet clear, as if it was leaning in to ask in Zhang Ruochen’s ear.
“Surprisingly, it was really overheard by her.”
Zhang Ruochen was rather shocked, however, he did not show his shocked colour on his face, and faintly replied back, “It seems like I don’t have to tell you.”
“Two top-level human masters, secretly discussing this Heavenly Maiden behind her back, is this Heavenly Maiden not qualified to know the results of your discussion?”
If it were any other cultivator discussing it, the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden wouldn’t take it to heart at all, however, Zhang Ruochen and Feng Yan were different, the two of them, one of them was a Time and Space Transmitter and the other was born in a ranked Ancient Clan, any words they uttered wouldn’t be without a purpose.
Listening to Zhang Ruochen’s tone, it seemed that he saw some fatal weakness in her.
It was precisely because of this that Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden felt curious and thus, took the initiative to ask Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and did not answer.
The Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden’s eyebrows frowned slightly as she thought in her heart, ”Could it be that this person knew that I was able to hear their voice transmissions, and that’s why he purposely said that in an attempt to get my attention? If that’s the case, the Successor chosen by the Sacred Monk of Sumeru is truly unimpressive.”
The stoutly built bearded man walked over to Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden and said, “Your Highness, it’s time for us to head out, Fairy Tianchu and Miss Huairou have already been waiting for you on Qingming Island for a long time.”
“Go!”
The Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden stared deeply at Zhang Ruochen, and then, gracefully boarded the ancient vehicle, flying away under the pull of the snow-white foreign bird, disappearing inside the clouds.
Watching the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden leave, an unknown number of cultivators present let out sighs, and in the future, they feared that they would not be able to see this towering, peerless Heavenly Maiden again for the rest of their lives.
Different people had different destiny trajectories.
In the eyes of other cultivators, they were indeed extraordinary celestial pride, but compared to the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden, they were no different from ordinary mortals.
Dragons were in the clouds, and people were on the ground.
Gryphons looked up to the sky, not knowing how high the sky was for the rest of their lives.
Zhang Ruochen sighed softly, with Feng Yan guarding the side, it was impossible to take a break and leave, so he could only find another opportunity to assassinate the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden.
When Feng Yan heard Zhang Ruochen’s sigh, he took it the wrong way, thinking that he was unwilling to let Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden leave, so he laughed and said, “What did Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden quietly talk to you about again?”
“If I say that we were just chatting, would you believe me?”Zhang Ruochen said.
“Of course I don’t believe it.”
Feng Yan said, “Back then, Death Void had gone to pursue the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden, and with his looks, talent, and status, it wouldn’t be difficult to pursue any woman. However, after visiting several times, he did not even see the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden’s face. Now that the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden has taken the initiative to communicate with a man on two occasions, it can be said to be a unique occurrence. How dare you tell me that you are just chatting? As a friend, this is very unkind of you, could it be that I would still tell Miss Mu about this?”
“Are you threatening me?”Zhang Ruochen said.
Feng Yan said, “No, it’s clearly you who are being ungenerous. If, you are really interested in the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden, I am able to provide you with some help.”
“What kind of help?”Zhang Ruochen asked.
Feng Yan said, “I know where she is staying on loan.”
“What place?”
Feng Yan said, “The place where Divine Transmission Disciple Concubine Huairou cultivates, Qingming Island.”
Zhang Ruochen’s expression twitched, “It seems that you are very interested in the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden and have inquired so clearly.”
“Aren’t you inquiring as well? It seems that you are even more interested.”Feng Yan said.
“Perhaps!”
Inadvertently, Zhang Ruochen’s gaze stared towards the Sea of Truth, only to see that, that Black Frozen Xiang Chunan was surprisingly still in the fourth layer of the sea, and was still circling around inside the whirlpools without crashing into the sea.
Feng Yan revealed a look of awe, “What a strange person.”
To be able to persist inside the whirlpool for so long was indeed a remarkable thing.
“By the way, Brother Zhang, you were able to cross the fourth layer of the sea in your first year of coming to the Truth Heavenly Domain, there must be quite a few rewards that you were able to obtain.”Feng Yan said.
“Let’s go to the Corresponding Saint Pavilion to receive it now.”
Zhang Ruochen and Feng Yan went to the Corresponding Sacred Pavilion and collected the rewards for crossing the sea, and were instantly in a good mood.
Crossing the second layer of the sea, one gained two months to enter the Truth Divine Hall to cultivate for an additional six cultivation slots for the Guanghan Realm.
Crossing the third layer of the sea, one gained four months of cultivation time and twelve additional cultivation slots.
Crossing the fourth layer of the sea, gaining eight months of cultivation time, gaining an additional twenty-four cultivation slots.
In this way, when the Temple of Truth was opened again, Zhang Ruochen would be able to cultivate inside the temple for more than a year, which would be enough to make both the Sacred Dao Cultivation and the Way of Truth grow substantially, and then, he would be able to cross the fifth layer of the sea, and the sixth layer of the sea. ……
At the same time, securing forty-two cultivation slots for the Broad Cold Realm would probably make Su Jing and the others go crazy with excitement.
Zhang Ruochen carved out a Transmission Light Talisman and punched it out, sending a message back to the Moon God Dao Field, informing Su Jing to come and pick up the forty-two token seals representing the cultivation slots.
