The great battle that took place in the Free Trade Park quickly spread throughout the God Sealing Platform, and cultivators from all walks of life were all shocked.
Two strange people who appeared out of nowhere had killed more than a dozen Saint King realm powerhouses from the Heavenly Realm faction, including a World Leader and four four-winged Scarlet Angels.
“I don’t know what kind of saints those two are, but Shang Ziqi and Gongzi Yan both struck out at the same time, and both of them were actually able to escape.”
“Didn’t see the Supreme Sacred Artifacts being used, this kind of character, definitely has a rather terrifying background.”
“What do you guys say, what will the Truth Divine Hall do with those two strange people?”
“The Truth Divine Hall can’t catch those two weirdos either, after all, it was indeed the Heavenly Realm Faction’s cultivators who struck first. Moreover, Wind Rock is friendly with those two weirdos, and with the influence of the forces behind Wind Rock in the Truth God Temple, operating at full strength will be enough to clear the two of them.”
……
The two strange men that the crowd was talking about, Zhang Ruochen and Xiang Chunan, immediately hid at the edge of that forbidden zone above the white bone slopes of the Outer South Garden after escaping.
If, for example, Shang Ziwei and Gongzi Yan came after them, they would immediately flee into the forbidden zone.
“So close, those two’s cultivation is too terrifying. Especially that man with three vermillion feathers stuck on his head, what is his origin?”Xiang Chunan asked.
Zhang Ruochen said, “This person is the leader of the Merit Divine Hall, Shang Ziqi, and my arch-enemy in life and death. I’m sorry, shouldn’t have involved you.”
Xiang Chunan’s expression was solemn as he said, “What are you saying, am I, Xiang Chunan, the kind of person who is timid and afraid of things?”
“Shhh!”
Zhang Ruochen made a silent gesture, and a layer of Sword Dao Xuan Gang emerged from the heavy sword in his hand as he stared in the direction of the White Bone Slope, and said in a deep voice, “What kind of person, come out.”
“Hehe.”
A pleasant laughter rang out.
A cloud of star mist, out of thin air, manifested in the white bone slope.
The Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden dressed in purple stood in the star mist, her ebony-black length naturally drooping like a willow, and above her head, she wore a foot-high bright red tiara.
Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden’s face was hazy and her voice was elegant and pleasant as she said, “Zhang Ruochen, your alertness is very high, you’ve been spotted so quickly!”
Seeing the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden, instead of relaxing his guard, Zhang Ruochen revealed an even more grave expression, ready to vanish into the forbidden zone at any time.
“Zhang Ruochen? You should have recognised the wrong person, right?”Zhang Ruochen said.
Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden said, “You can hide it from others, but not from me. You don’t need to be so defensive of me, I may not be your enemy, say no more, I can even become a friend for the time being.”
Zhang Ruochen was very alarmed, his cultivation of the Formless and Formless 36 Changes had been recognised? If the other party was a Great Sage, it was understandable, it was only because his cultivation was not refined enough. However, the other party’s cultivation was not much stronger than him.
Zhang Ruochen said, ”Friend? Is Your Highness the Heavenly Maiden joking, how can two people who both possess the Truth Upanishad be friends?”
When he said that, it was equivalent to acquiescing to his identity.
The Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden laughed, “That’s right, two people who possess the Truth Upanishad are indeed immortal enemies. Therefore, this Heavenly Maiden is talking about becoming friends for the time being.”
“How long is this temporary?”Zhang Ruochen asked.
Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden said, “Why are you so far away from this Heavenly Maiden? Why don’t we sit down and talk slowly?”
The other party was most likely cultivating the Way of Void, and, knowing that she would definitely kill herself and seize the Truth Upanishad, how could Zhang Ruochen let her get close to him?
“This Heavenly Maiden’s cultivation level is only one realm higher than yours. You, the Controller of Time and Space, could it be that you are still afraid of me? Just now, where did the grandeur of killing the four directions go?”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes scanned the surroundings and said, “If Your Highness, the Heavenly Maiden, really didn’t have the heart to kill, why would she arrange for two cultivators to secretly hide nearby?”
This time, it was Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden’s turn to be surprised.
It was true that Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden had something extremely important and wanted to work with Zhang Ruochen for once. However, Thousand Star Celestial Maiden was also worried that Zhang Ruochen would make a move to kill her, so naturally, she also had to be fully prepared.
The ones that Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden had arranged to be nearby were the strongest duo of the Thousand Star Civilisation in the Truth Divine Hall.
With the strong cultivation of the two of them, it was surprising that they were unable to conceal themselves from Zhang Ruochen’s senses, which was indeed beyond her expectations.
The Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden pondered slightly, then her small jade-white hand gently waved and said, “The two of you retreat.”
Two silhouettes, which manifested on the left and right sides of the white bone slope, retreated backwards, and finally transformed into two tiny black dots, standing in the distance, guarding this area where the white bone slope was located.
“This Heavenly Maiden is considered sincere enough now, isn’t it?”Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden said.
Zhang Ruochen wasn’t really afraid of the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden, he just didn’t want to joke with his life. Since, Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden didn’t directly strike, and even dispatched the two major experts, it was obvious that she really wanted to discuss something with him.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen also had some questions in his mind.
“Alright, let’s talk then.”Zhang Ruochen said.
At the edge of the forbidden zone, the sky and earth were dark.
Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden took out an exquisite white jade long table and placed it on the ground, and took out a Sherry Lamp and placed it on top of the table, and only then did she slowly sit at one end of the long table.
The light light from the relic lamp reflected on her face, making her skin as crystal clear as ice crystal snow jade.
Zhang Ruochen sat at the other end of the long white jade table and said, “For two people who possess the Truth Upanishad at the same time to be able to sit together peacefully, I must say that it is a miracle.”
Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden smiled with a beaming smile, “How many Truth Upanishads have you seized?”
There was no longer anything to hide as Zhang Ruochen said bluntly, “Five ten thousandths.”
“Me, six ten thousandths.”
The Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden then added, “Do you know, why you haven’t died yet?”
“Why?”Zhang Ruochen said.
The Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden said, “Because, your current cultivation level is only a second-step Saint King, just like a Saint Fruit that hasn’t ripened yet, even if I kill you, I would only be able to obtain five ten-thousandths of the Truth Upanishad.”
“But when your cultivation progresses and you go through a few more layers of the Sea of Truth, you can definitely get more Truth Upanishads. That’s why I intend to wait until you cultivate to the realm of a Nine-Step Saint King before I make my move to pick you off.”
“You think of me as a Sacred Fruit?”Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed.
The Thousand Star Celestial Maiden was quite frank and said, “From the day you set foot on the cultivation path, you should have understood the truth of the weak and the strong, the only thing to blame is that you exposed the secret of possessing the Truth Upanishad.”
“Do you know that a cultivator who collects one percent of the Truth Upanishads can become a Truth Messenger? Do you know what a Truth Messenger represents? A Truth Messenger is able to mobilise the terrifying power of calling out to the gods.”
Zhang Ruochen snorted lightly, “Are you that confident that you can still kill me when I have cultivated to the Nine-Step Saint King realm?”
The Thousand Star Celestial Maiden’s pair of starry eyes were beautiful and moving as she said, “When you reach the Nine-step Saint King realm, naturally, a Great Saint of the Thousand Star Civilisation will personally take your life. If the Great Saint can’t kill you, a god will also step in. Gods, they can always kill you, right?”
Zhang Ruochen was silent.
For the sake of the Truth Messenger’s identity, for the sake of the Truth Upanishad, it was entirely possible for a god to step in.
The only thing to blame was that he had been too careless when crossing the Sea of Truth, allowing the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden to see the clues.
It was only strange that he had been too careless when he crossed the Sea of Truth, allowing the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden to see what was going on.
Now, even if he shot again to kill the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden to silence her, it was useless, the secret of him possessing the Truth Upanishad had definitely been known by some beings of the Thousand Star Civilisation, and could not be concealed at all.
The Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden took out the White Sun Arrow, placed it on top of the table, and pushed it towards Zhang Ruochen, saying, “I don’t know, what exactly is your true purpose of shooting this arrow, but since this Heavenly Maiden intends to be friends with you for the time being, this arrow will be returned to you as a meeting gift.”
Zhang Ruochen took the White Sun Arrow back and laughed, “It seems like you have something to beg me for.”
“Begging you? Can’t talk about it, at best it can only be considered as co-operation.”Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden said.
“No co-operation.”
Zhang Ruochen directly refused, saying, “Knowing that ultimately, I will be killed by your Thousand Star Civilisation, why would I still want to cooperate with you?”
The Thousand Star Celestial Maiden smiled faintly, “In fact, it may not necessarily be necessary to kill you in order for me to obtain the Truth Upanishads in you. As long as you defect to the Thousand Star Civilisation, and, every time you get the Truth Upanishad, you take the initiative to offer it to this Heavenly Maiden. Not only will this Heavenly Maiden not kill you, she will also reuse you, and in the future, you may even have the chance to become the emperor’s son-in-law of the Thousand Star Civilisation. What do you think? Consider this offer of mine well, there is no need to reply immediately, this Heavenly Maiden will give you time to consider.”
Zhang Ruochen’s heart secretly pondered, where on earth did the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden get such great confidence to be able to harness him?
Even though she cultivated the Void Dao, Zhang Ruochen cultivated both Everlasting Ancient Ways at the same time.
Could it be that she found the identity of “emperor’s son-in-law” very attractive?
Zhang Ruochen didn’t reveal what was in his heart and said, “Not only can I have the Thousand Star Civilisation as a big backer, but I can also obtain a large amount of cultivation resources and win the hand of a beautiful woman. This offer from Your Highness the Heavenly Maiden makes it completely impossible to find a reason to reject it.”
A pair of starry eyes of the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden flashed with a bewildering light as she said, “This Heavenly Maiden is only saying that you have the opportunity to become the emperor’s son-in-law of the Thousand Star Civilisation. Whether or not you can grasp the opportunity still depends on your performance.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly, then, asked, “I’m curious, how exactly did you see through my identity and how did you track me here?”
The Thousand Star Celestial Maiden thought that she was able to control everything, so she did not hide it from Zhang Ruochen, saying, “Because, I am the controller of the Nine Constant Ancient Ways Origin Ways.”
“Origin Way?”Zhang Ruochen was slightly stunned.
Wasn’t it the Way of Nothingness?
The Thousand Star Celestial Maiden stretched out a finger and gently tapped it on top of the long white jade table, and instantly, the long white jade table burst into pieces and turned into nothingness.
No.
Not nothingness, but into hundreds of millions of extremely small particles, the use of the naked eye can not be observed, only the use of heavenly eyes and spiritual power, can vaguely detect some differences.
Back then, when the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden had struck down the Guardian in the Sea of Truth, Zhang Ruochen had misunderstood because he was so far away, and she had struck the Guardian into a state of nothingness.
“Origin, the origin of all things.”
The Thousand Star Celestial Maiden’s slender jade hand was slightly raised.
“Wow…”
Those billions of particles, quickly combining and connecting, recondensed into a substance that could be observed using the naked eye.
It was no longer a long white jade table, but, instead, a five-foot long iron sword.
With a point of her finger, the iron sword burst into pieces, and immediately after, it was transformed into a tens of metres tall red holy tree that manifested itself, with beautiful flowers blooming on the tree.
The petals of the flowers fell as if they were red snow, showering down on the heads of the Thousand Star Heavenly Maiden and Zhang Ruochen.
