“A person who suffers enough setbacks and tortures and still manages to stay strong, their mental will naturally becomes strong.”Zhang Ruochen smiled bitterly.
Immortal Celestial Beginnings knew in her heart that this person most likely had a lot of untold stories, so she didn’t ask too many questions and said, “Let’s climb the mountain! At the top of the ancient mountain, there should be the spring of the Divine Spring.”
“The Divine Spring is located in this ancient mountain?”
Zhang Ruochen was surprised and raised his head to look upwards.
The ancient mountain in front of him was unattainable, half dark and morose, and half sacred and grandiose, not at all like the small hill seen from afar.
The Heavenly Primordial Immortal looked towards the top of the mountain and said, “Look, purple and green coloured divine mist is drifting down from the top of the mountain.”
At the very top of the ancient mountain, it was indeed shrouded in purple and green coloured mist, and, the mist was still spreading down the mountain.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Didn’t the fairy say that there are inscriptions left behind by the gods in the ancient mountain? If we go barging in like this, in case we touch the divine inscriptions, won’t we die in the mountain?”
“Earlier, this Heavenly Maiden was struck by the power of the divine inscriptions because she didn’t know that there were divine inscriptions in the ancient mountain. Since I already know, there is naturally a way to erase the divine pattern.”
Fairy Celestial Primordial’s white clothes fluttered with a fragrant breeze as she walked ahead and stepped onto the path into the mountain.
Zhang Ruochen chased after her and said, “Fairy, I have some Refiner Warriors, so I can have them open up the path in front of me, which will be safer.”
As he spoke, Zhang Ruochen took out twelve iron balls from inside his spatial ring, which landed on the ground and immediately turned into a humanoid metal warrior.
“Rumble.”
After a long time, a complex pattern appeared underneath the feet of one of the Alchemy Warriors.
At the same time, a strand of divine power left over from the distant past struck the Refiner Warrior, splitting it apart and some of its metal bones melted into liquid droplets.
Zhang Ruochen’s face stared as he secretly projected that if that Ancient Divine Force had struck his body just now, even if he was wearing textual armour, it was estimated that his body would still be pierced through.
Fairy Tianchu’s eyebrows gently frowned, then she took out a purple bottle and poured out a drop of dark red liquid from it.
“Puffing.”
The liquid landed on the ground and immediately made a corrosive sound, actually melting the divine pattern.
One must know that divine patterns were inscriptions carved out by gods, and even Great Saints would have a hard time destroying them. The divine pattern here, even though over 100,000 years had passed and its power had greatly diminished, it still contained the spiritual will of a god, so how could it be that easy to melt it?
Fairy Celestial Primordial could see what was in Zhang Ruochen’s mind and said, “This is a liquid that was refined using the blood of a Demon God from the Hell Realm, and it can corrode everything in the world.”
The two continued to climb the mountain.
Gradually, some palace-style buildings appeared in the ancient mountain, with every brick and tile refined using extremely precious materials. The palaces here were relatively well-preserved, and in some of those palace clusters, there was still the ethereal fragrance of holy fruits wafting out.
However, those palace clusters were patrolled by ancient ferocious creatures, and Zhang Ruochen and Tianchu Fairy did not want to cause any trouble, so they directly bypassed them and climbed towards the top of the mountain.
Zhang Ruochen felt that there was a slight writhing coming from his chest, and with a joyful expression on his face, he reached out a hand and probed in.
True Myriad Little Daoist’s weak voice followed, “True Myriad, True Myriad, the poor Taoist has actually come back to life, Zhang Ruochen, it was you who saved the poor Taoist, wasn’t it?”
“Then, do you think that there are other people who will save you?”Zhang Ruochen transmitted.
“That’s true, if it were any other cultivator, they would probably have already taken this opportunity to eat Poverty Road. You, on the other hand, when Poverty Road was seriously injured, you even used some sort of medicinal liquid to help Poverty Road repair its Yuan Spirit and re-generate vitality. Not bad, not bad, the Poverty Road didn’t misjudge you.”The True Myriad Little Daoist heatedly laughed.
“Some sort of medicinal liquid? That’s the only bit of Life Spring I have left, which was originally reserved for myself.”Zhang Ruochen said.
The True Myriad Little Daoist climbed out of Zhang Ruochen’s arms and laughed, “That’s why it’s said that a friend in need is a friend indeed! You definitely have true love for Poverty Taoist, and Poverty Taoist can already see that! Hehe! She’s not that fairy from the Ancient Civilisation faction?”
The Heavenly Primordial Fairy sensed something and turned to stare at the True Myriad Minor Daoist, saying, “A hundred thousand year old Ancient Sacred Pill. Lin Yue, you have quite a few treasures on you. However, that 100,000 year old Ancient Saint Pill is quite odd, its spiritual will, it’s even stronger than yours.”
“How could it be?”Zhang Ruochen said.
Immortal Celestial Primordial reminded, “That’s just the way it is, so you’d better watch out for it a bit, don’t turn into its sustenance.”
“Sowing discord, this …… woman is sowing discord, don’t believe her. The poor Taoist is just a Chi with a gentle character, and it’s another Saint Eating Flower kind of ferocious plant.”The True Myriad Little Daoist gnashed his teeth and said.
The Heaven’s Beginning Immortal said no more and continued on her way, leaving behind only a curvaceous and soft back.
“True Myriad’s spiritual will is strong?”Zhang Ruochen was a little unconvinced.
This Tongling Sacred Cheese immediately conceded every time it was suppressed, not having the slightest bit of the aura of preferring death to submission, how could it possibly possess a strong spiritual will?
True Myriad Little Daoist immediately explained, ”Don’t believe her, she is just trying to separate us, worried that after we join forces, we will pose a threat to her. A needle on a wasp’s tail is not as poisonous as a woman’s heart.”
Reaching the position of the mountainside, True Myriad Little Daoist jumped on top of Zhang Ruochen’s shoulder, sometimes sniffing with his nose, sometimes looking around, and then transmitting his voice to Zhang Ruochen, “This place is very close to True Myriad Taoist Temple, how did we come here?”
“Are you sure?”Zhang Ruochen said.
The True Myriad Little Daoist said solemnly, “Of course I’m sure, the poor Taoist has stayed in the area of the True Myriad Daoist Temple for 100,000 years. Going further up will be extremely dangerous, what exactly are you guys doing?”
Suddenly, the Heavenly Primordial Fairy who was walking ahead stopped in her tracks.
“There is a smell of blood.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes sank as he quickened his pace and caught up with the Heavenly Primordial Fairy.
Only to see that on the ground in front of them, there was a tattered corpse lying on the ground, half of its body had turned into pieces of flesh and blood, it could be described as a miserable sight.
“Vengeful Bone, how could it be him?”Zhang Ruochen said.
Qiu Bone was one of the spatial cultivators invited by the Ancient Civilisation Faction, and his attainments in the spatial way were quite extraordinary, possessing a pair of iron boots that could “shrink the earth into an inch” and a dragon head walking stick that could induce the “Gravity Spatial Domain”.
Unfortunately, these two spatial treasures had disappeared.
Zhang Ruochen walked to the side of the mutilated corpse, examined it, and said, “It wasn’t killed by an ancient evil creature, it should be man-made.”
“It’s Gu Feng, his spiritual will remains here, and it also carries a murderous aura.”Fairy Tianchu said.
Zhang Ruochen asked curiously, “What kind of person is Gu Feng, it seems like the fairy can’t do anything about him.”
The Heavenly Primordial Fairy said, “Gu Feng is the leader of an ancient evil sect in the Beautiful Carpentry Realm, with an arrogant and cocky character, extremely low morals, and a lust for life, however, his strength is bizarre and unpredictable. Once, he took the first daughter of a great saint and was pursued by the great saint’s bilocation, but surprisingly survived.”
“After that, Gu Feng, with his profound skill in using poison, placed seven Harmony Pills in that great saint’s holy domain. All of a sudden, all of the living beings within the entire sanctuary were affected by the toxins and lost their minds in general, turning into animals that only knew how to mate, causing many scandals and causing that great saint to lose all of his face.”
“Since then, this person’s reputation has become even greater, and no one is willing to offend him, lest they be subjected to his retaliation.”
“A person like this can do anything, and being subjected to his retaliation would be quite a headache even for a Great Saint.”
Zhang Ruochen secretly sighed, this Gu Feng was a formidable character, so much so that even the Great Saints couldn’t do anything about him and instead suffered a big loss.
Zhang Ruochen and Tianchu Fairy followed the bloodstains on the ground and walked into a palace complex in front of them, and soon saw a second body on the ground, and a third body ……
Both Grandmaster Pu Shan and Li Qing Hai had already fallen, their bodies in tatters, with blood still dripping outwards from their bodies.
Upon seeing the fourth corpse, Zhang Ruochen and Tianchu Fairy were both stunned.
It was Gu Feng.
In Gu Feng’s chest, there was a large transparent hole, and a piece of flesh and blood the size of a bowl had disappeared, including his heart. Gu Feng’s eyes were wide open as he stared into the sky above, with a look of utter horror in his eyes.
Before he died, he seemed to have seen something quite terrifying.
“Gu Feng, who couldn’t even be killed by a Great Sage’s detachment, died here, could it be that he had encountered a Great Sage level Ancient Fierce Thing?”Immortal Celestial Primordial became extremely vigilant as she observed the surrounding area.
Zhang Ruochen examined Gu Feng’s corpse and a soft eep came out of his mouth, “He was killed by spatial power.”
Immediately after, Zhang Ruochen moved Gu Feng’s fingers and now the spatial brand in his palm had disappeared.
Immortal Celestial Primordial said, “Among the six space cultivators invited by the Ancient Civilisation Faction, who is the other one?”
“Devil Little Mushroom from the Space God Temple.”
Zhang Ruochen added, “But with her cultivation, even if she were to sneak attack, it would be impossible for her to kill Gu Feng. Unless, she hid her cultivation ……”
Suddenly, the spiritual energy within Zhang Ruochen’s body throbbed slightly, his face changed violently, and he hurriedly crouched down, extending his finger to the location of Gu Feng’s wound.
Sure enough, that familiar fluctuation of spiritual energy reappeared.
“Could it be her, it can’t be, how could she dare to come to the Heavenly Court Realm?”Zhang Ruochen’s heart murmured.
On top of an ancient tower in this palace complex, Devil Little Mushroom stood behind a window, staring at Zhang Ruochen and Heaven’s Beginning Fairy in the distance, a smug smile appearing at the corner of her mouth, “Gu Feng, this moron, how dare he hit on this Princess’s attentions, he deserves to die. However, these two are somewhat difficult to deal with, it’s better to use poison!”
Devil Little Mushroom placed the spatial storage vessels obtained from Gu Feng in front of her and took out bottle after bottle of venom and poison pills.
Immortal Celestial Primordial said, “That Devil Little Mushroom, should have cultivated some sort of rather powerful technique, and also understands this Celestial Maiden’s abilities, and has actually concealed the spiritual will on her body. However, this Heavenly Maiden is still able to detect that she is hiding nearby.”
