Under the Moon.
Mu Lingshi walked into the pavilion and picked up the wine cup with both hands, personally delivering it to Zhang Ruochen.
A pair of small hands, as delicate as jade, and her starry eyes shed a touching light.
Zhang Ruochen immediately stood up, his eyes becoming soft as he took the wine cup and stared at Feng Yan and Xiang Chunan, saying, “In fact, it’s not that I’m unwilling to tie the knot with the two of you, it’s just that I do have a lot of concerns so I don’t want to drag you guys into it.”
Feng Yan laughed, “When Brother Zhang says this, he is looking down on Feng Yan. Is Feng Yan not a person who is afraid of being implicated?”
“Boom.”
Xiang Chunan slammed the table and said, “I will never frown for my brothers even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of me. Could it be that the words of sharing the same hardships are still a lie?”
Zhang Ruochen stopped talking and solemnly said, “Alright, since you two said so, I will no longer be pretentious. This cup of wine, I’ll drink.”
“Wait, drink together.”
Xiang Chunan and Feng Yan raised their cups together, and the three of them drank together.
The wine in the cup was drunk in one go.
Xiang Chunan slammed the glass to the ground and asked, “So who will be the boss, who will be the second, and who will be the third?”
Feng Yan said, “Ranking order according to age is too tacky. Ranking order according to strength is too hurtful. How about, we change the way?”
“What way?”
Feng Yan said without slowing down, “The day after tomorrow is the God Sealing Platform Assembly, so let’s compare who has gained more from the God Sealing Platform and rank them accordingly. How?”
Xiang Chunan didn’t even think about it and directly said, “Good, it’s settled!”?
Zhang Ruochen laughed, “Brother Feng is a disciple of the Truth Divine Hall, so his knowledge of the God Sealing Platform is definitely far superior to the two of us, so naturally, he will have a certain advantage. Are you trying to be the elder brother?”
“Yeah, it’s not fair, I still want to be the big brother.”Xiang Chunan said.
“Don’t worry, since you and I have already tied the knot, we will be our own people in the future. Tonight, I will tell you all the information I know myself about the God Sealing Platform.”
This night, Zhang Ruochen, Feng Yan and Xiang Chunan drank almost all of the hidden wine on the Empty Spirit Island, and the pavilion and the outside of the pavilion were filled with wine jars and a mess.
Life should be enjoyed to the fullest, don’t make the golden bottle empty to the moon.
There were times when one had to let go of all preoccupations and concerns and do the simplest and purest things.
This night, Zhang Ruochen was in a rather pleasant mood, as if a person who had been in a quagmire for a long time had suddenly jumped out, only to feel unprecedentedly relaxed.
Indulging himself just to get drunk.
Perhaps because of the change in his state of mind, the next day after waking up from the wine, Zhang Ruochen was surprised to see that the Saint Dao Rules in his body had surged by hundreds, totalling more than four thousand two hundred.
He could clearly feel that his cultivation had entered a new world.
Zhang Ruochen operated his gong method, the Saint Qi in his body operated in a hurry, and a powerful storm of Saint Qi coalesced as his hands were kneaded into fist seals.
“Did I break through to the Second Step Saint King Realm in one fell swoop?”Zhang Ruochen revealed a colour of joy.
The Saint King realm mainly relied on enlightenment, and at the same time, it was also related to the cultivator’s state of mind; there were times when a cultivator’s cultivation remained stagnant for up to several years or decades; and there were times when they could surge forward overnight.
Without going to the Nine Steps to Heaven Road, naturally, there was no way to know if he had really broken through the realm, but it was ultimately a good thing for his cultivation to be able to rise by a large margin.
In the courtyard, an ancient tree full of red flowers scattered dense light.
Mu Lingshi stood under the tree, looking at Zhang Ruochen who had already woken up, and smiled lightly, “When you were drunk, Uncle Jing had already come and taken away the forty-two tokens, and also thanked you on behalf of the entire Guanghan Realm.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “It’s just a small matter of raising my hand.”
“For the Broad Cold Realm, this is an extraordinary event. In the future, that King Wu Han should not make things difficult for you anymore.”Mu Lingshi said.
Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly and stretched out a hand, stopping Mu Lingshi’s slender willow waist and embracing her into his arms.
Mu Lingshi symbolically struggled twice, and in the end, like a docile kitten, she pressed her flushed face against Zhang Ruochen’s chest and whispered, “Aren’t you curious as to why I persuaded you to befriend the two of them last night?”
“I understand.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Mu Lingshi said, “I know that you’re unwilling to form a bond because you have great enemies like Empress Chi Yao and the Black Shadow Force, and getting too close to any cultivator would be harming them. However, you are the only one in my heart, and I want you to have friends as well, friends who can share the pressure on you and fight side by side with you so that you can relax a bit. Would it be too selfish of me to do so?”
Mu Lingshi raised her cicatrization, a little nervous that Zhang Ruochen would get angry.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Only if you are sincere in making friends and brothers will others treat you sincerely. I won’t tell them about my enemies, I will deal with them on my own.”
“I’m sorry.”
Tears flowed from Mu Lingshi’s eyes.
Zhang Ruochen kissed between Mu Lingshi’s snowy neck and laughed, “Don’t say sorry, didn’t you also want to help me? It’s just that the method was wrong, so I must change it in the future.”
“Hmm.”
Mu Lingshi nodded.
The God Sealing Platform was one of the few ancient relics in the Heavenly Court Realm.
It was said that when the Heavenly Court Realm was first established, the reason why the Truth Divine Hall was built here had a huge connection with the God Sealing Platform.
However, the God Sealing Platform was sealed all year round, and even the disciples of the Truth Divine Hall rarely knew the exact location of the God Sealing Platform. Only every ten years at the God Sealing Platform Assembly would it be revealed.
Early in the morning on the day of the God Sealing Platform Assembly, a vermillion-red cloud boat sailed to the edge of Empyrean Island and docked. Led by Feng Ruoxi, Feng Yan, Zhang Ruochen, Xiang Chunan, and Mu Lingshi boarded up together.
Other than that, there were another twenty-two first-class disciples who were dependent on Empyrean Spirit Island who also boarded the cloud boat with them.
To be exact, they were all dependent on Feng Ruoxi.
Looking at those twenty-two First Grade Disciples with impressive strength, Zhang Ruochen secretly smacked his lips.
Any first class disciple was a genius among geniuses, holding a high status in the Truth Heavenly Domain. If they stepped out of the Truth Heavenly Domain and travelled to a subordinate Mortal Realm, some Great Saints of the weaker realms would personally receive them.
From this, it could be seen that Feng Ruoxi’s status in the Truth Heavenly Domain was absolutely extraordinary, otherwise, how could there be so many first-class disciples clinging to her?
That Feng Ruoxi girl had a huge aura and was quite cold and arrogant, not saying a single word from start to finish.
The twenty-two first-class disciples present, including Feng Yan, all did not dare to raise their voices, as if a group of courtiers were standing in front of a majestic queen, silenced.
“The cultivation is very strong, not below Ji Fanxin.”Zhang Ruochen made this judgement.
The cloud boat started up once again and travelled to one of the suspended islands to pick up the people.
Those hanging islands were almost all places of cultivation for Divine Transmission disciples.
There were constantly Divine Transmission Disciples boarding the cloud boat, all of them arrogant and handsome, as if they were dragons and phoenixes among men. The number of first-class disciples that followed behind the Divine Transmission disciples varied.
Some Divine Transmission disciples had only one or two first-class disciples behind them.
Some divine Transmission disciples had seven or eight first-class disciples behind them.
A Divine Transmission disciple like Feng Ruoxi, who had more than twenty first-class disciples following him, could be said to be unique.
Gradually, the number of Divine Transmission disciples on the cloud boat reached more than twenty, and the boat driver no longer went to pick up people from the other hanging islands, flying directly towards Mount Hope God.
Mount Hope God was only tens of thousands of miles away from the Truth Divine Hall, and the mountain was yellowish-brown in colour, with no plants growing on it, and the cliffs were magnificent to the extreme.
The mountain, just above the clouds, was more than 30,000 metres high, and the two-hundred-metre-long cloud boat was like a long black dot compared to it.
Zhang Ruochen and the others stepped down from the top of the cloud boat and climbed up to the Mountain of Hopeful God, only to realise that on the top of the mountain, many cultivators had already gathered. They came from all the major worlds, wearing different saintly clothes and precious armours, and, the human cultivators only took up a very small portion of them, with more cultivators, coming from other ethnic groups.
“Brother Zhang, Brother Xiang, I’ll see you in the God Sealing Mountain.”Feng Yan laughed.
Xiang Chunan waved his big hand and said, “Don’t worry, with our strength, it’s a breeze to pass the qualification test.”
Originally, Zhang Ruochen could have obtained an invitation sticker and entered the venue of the God Sealing Platform Assembly openly if he was in the capacity of a Divine Envoy of the Guanghan Realm.
However, he learnt from Feng Yan that the God Sealing Platform Assembly was not just an event, but also involved the fight for ancient relics, which would be very dangerous.
The identity of “Zhang Ruochen” was still too sensitive and would be targeted.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen changed his mind, changed his appearance, and went to the God Sealing Platform Conference in a different way.
Feng Ruoxi, Feng Yan, and the twenty-two first class disciples walked towards the southern cliff of the Godwatching Mountain.
At the edge of the southern cliff, there stood an ancient divine gate that was tens of feet tall, and only after entering the divine gate could one reach the God Sealing Platform.
On both sides of the divine gate, there were sixteen battle generals in white holy armour standing on each side, and any cultivator who came here had to hand over an invitation invitation before they would let them through.
“Greetings to Senior Sister Feng.”
Sixteen battle generals in white Saint Armour bowed to Feng Ruoxi at the same time.
Just now, the other few Divine Transmission disciples who had entered the Divine Gate were not treated like this.
Feng Ruoxi handed over the invitation, and it was with her hands behind her back that she walked into the Divine Gate. With one step inside, the graceful figure disappeared, as if swallowed by a curtain of water.
The cultivators on Mount Wangshen Mountain, looking at the huge divine door and the figures that kept entering it, all revealed envious looks. Any figure that was able to obtain an invitation invitation was a top hero under the Great Saints.
That divine door was a symbol of strength and identity.
They, the cultivators who didn’t get the invitation invitation, could only participate in the qualification test to have a sliver of a possibility, to enter the venue.
A showman in his thirties sighed, “If I can participate in the God Sealing Platform Assembly, it will be the honour of a lifetime, and when I return to the Heavenly Yuan Realm, it will be enough for me to brag for the rest of my life.”
“It is said that a large portion of the nine fairies on the Nine Immortal Beauty Diagram will attend the God Sealing Platform Assembly. If I can enter the God Sealing Platform and meet my goddess, the Hundred Flower Fairy, even if it makes me live a hundred years less, I would be willing.”A young man carrying a holy sword said.
“At the God Sealing Platform, there are seven secret places that are capable of digging out the relics left behind by ancient gods. It’s said that in the last God Sealing Platform Assembly, someone dug out divine artifact remnants in Bloodlight Canyon.”
“Che, what’s a divine weapon fragment? I heard from that old immortal in my family that ten thousand years ago, someone broke into the Dark Demon Well of the God Sealing Platform and released an Ancient Demon God. Later, that Ancient Demon God even joined the Truth Divine Hall, as one of the top bigwigs of the Truth Divine Hall.”
……
On Mount Hopeful God, a crowd of cultivators waited while uttering various legends.
In short, everyone was quite excited, all wanting to pass the qualification test and enter the venue of the God Sealing Platform Assembly, everyone’s purpose, different.
“Look, that’s …… nine golden dragons pulling a sacred carriage.”Someone let out a cry of alarm.
The gazes of the crowd all looked towards the sea of clouds.
Thousands of miles away, nine golden dragons hundreds of feet long, pulling an ancient carriage, sped towards Mount Hopefulness at an astonishing degree. The aura radiating from the ancient car was quite intimidating, with the aura of swallowing mountains and rivers.
“That golden dragon carriage, it’s a Nine Flare Ten Thousand Stripes Saint Artifact.”
“Heavens, even Great Saints may not possess a Nine Flare Ten Thousand Stripes Sacred Artifact. How extraordinary a great person is the owner of that golden dragon carriage?”
Mu Lingshi stared at the golden ancient carriage with some strange eyes. Of course, she knew that it was Zhang Ruochen’s Golden Step Dragon Carriage, and once, only the emperors of every generation of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire were qualified to ride it.
How could something as important as the Golden Step Dragon Chariot fall into the hands of another cultivator?
Moreover, Zhang Ruochen had never mentioned this matter to her.
“Rumble.”
Gradually, the Golden Step Dragon Carriage reached Mount Wangshen and stopped, and the curtains of the Holy Whiskers Gilt Weave were slowly lifted open by a breathtakingly beautiful jade hand.
The beauty in the carriage, before she even stepped out, the fragrance of the fragrant flowers was already wafting outwards, permeating the entire Lookout God Mountain, mesmerising people.
The bare rocky mountain was actually growing a colourful flower, becoming vibrant. The watery air in the sky condensed into a sheet of white, icy petals, turning into a rain of flowers that drifted downwards.
Seeing the amazing vision that suddenly manifested, some male cultivators guessed the identity of the owner of the Golden Step Dragon Carriage and were ecstatic.
