The trainees who participated in the third round of the examination, took the Silver Moon Boat and flew out of the Eastern Domain Holy City, arriving above an empty desert.
The Silver Moon Ships, stopped.
Ten Silver Moon Ships, each carrying more than three thousand cadets, and on the top of the ship’s pole, hung the flag of the Martial City Academy.
At the bottom of the ships, was a huge formation. Silver inscriptions, flowing out from the centre of the formation, slowly rotated, forming an egg-shaped light shield that protected the Silver Moon Ship in the centre.
Looking from the ground, it looked like ten rounds of silver moons, hanging in the dome of the sky.
On the Silver Moon Ship of the Sword Dao Department, a cadet who looked a bit yellowish and thin, glanced downwards and saw an endless desert, so, somewhat puzzled, he asked, “If we’re not going to the Chaotic Ten Thousand Boundaries Mountain, why are we stopping here?”
Beside them, a snort resounded.
A genius trainee of the Shen Sheng Clan stared at him as if he was looking at an idiot and sneered, “Dirtbag. What kind of place do you think the Chaotic Ten Thousand Realms Mountain is? That’s the general military camp of the Market Realm Battlefield, not in the Kunlun Realm at all, but in the vast and mysterious Void Space. If you don’t go through a wormhole and make a spatial jump, it’s simply impossible to get there.”
That one yellow-faced cadet didn’t care at all about the mockery of that one genius cadet from the Shen Sheng Sect Valve, and still humbly asked, “What is a wormhole? What is a space jump again? How, exactly, can we reach the Chaotic Universal Mountain?”
“Idiot.”
The one genius trainee from the Shen Sheng Sect Clan clasped his sword with both hands and turned his head to the other side in a very arrogant manner, not bothering to continue explaining.
Zhang Ruochen stood just to the right of that one yellow-faced cadet and explained to him, “The so-called wormholes are naturally formed holes of space that connect the Kunlun Realm and the Chaotic Ten Thousand Realms Mountain.”
“In the Eastern Domain, there are many wormholes spread out, some connecting to the Central Domain, some connecting to the Western Domain, the Southern Domain, the Northern Domain, and some connecting to some mysterious Market Realms. Just the wormholes that have been discovered, there are dozens of them spread all over the place.”
“To give you an example, the Eastern Domain and the Central Domain are separated by an unknown number of tens of thousands of miles, if there were no wormholes, with the speed of a Heaven’s Extreme Realm martial artist, travelling day and night, even if it took ten years, they might not be able to reach the Central Domain. Performing a wormhole space jump, in a matter of moments, one would be able to reach the Central Domain from the Eastern Domain.”
“The wormhole that leads to the Chaotic Ten Thousand Realms Mountain is right where we are now.”
“This wormhole has always been under the control of the Imperial Court’s Ministry of War. Moreover, there are also saints from the Ministry of Military Affairs who have set up guarding formations on the periphery and dispatched large armies to watch over it. Ordinary martial artists can only pass through the wormhole and travel to the Chaotic Ten Thousand Realms Mountain by paying enough spirit crystals.”
That genius trainee from the Shen Sheng Sect Clan was originally a bit annoyed, thinking that Zhang Ruochen was too talkative.
However, after he turned around and saw that that one talkative person was actually Zhang Ruochen, he immediately lost his temper.
He had met Zhang Ruochen at the Pilgrimage Heavenly Staircase, so of course, he knew how powerful Zhang Ruochen was. Although the name of the Shen Sheng Sect Clan was loud, it could not yet suppress Zhang Ruochen, someone else was one of the six kings of the new generation.
“It’s better to stay away from Zhang Ruochen.”
That one genius trainee of the Shen Sheng Sect Valve immediately retreated far away.
That one yellow-faced cadet was very grateful in his heart and arched his hand to thank him, “My name is Lingkong County Kingdom, Wu Zhiyao, thank you for your guidance, I wonder what your name is?”
“Yunwu County Kingdom, Zhang Ruochen.”Zhang Ruochen laughed.
“So it’s senior brother Zhang …… and so on …… You are the Cloud Martial County King, Zhang Ruochen?”
That young man called Wu Zhiyao exclaimed, staring at Zhang Ruochen with wide eyes.
Because his heart was too shocked, he did not lower his voice.
Almost all the trainees on the entire Silver Moon Ship heard him shout out the phrase, “You are the Yunwu County King, Zhang Ruochen”.
Countless pairs of eyes all looked towards Zhang Ruochen.
Especially those cadets who were closer to Zhang Ruochen were as shocked as Wu Zhiyao, not expecting that the famous Zhang Ruochen was actually travelling on the same boat as them.
Once the Eastern Region Wind and Cloud Newspaper came out, Zhang Ruochen’s fame spread throughout the world overnight, becoming the benchmark for countless young martial artists and the male god of countless young girls in love.
Especially Wu Zhiyao, after seeing the Eastern Region Wind and Cloud Newspaper, he took Zhang Ruochen as his idol, taking Zhang Ruochen as the goal he was striving for.
It hadn’t occurred to him that he was so close to his idol, and moreover, his idol had even instructed him.
It was too exciting!
Fortunately, just at this moment, the Silver Moon Ship started up again and flew towards the wormhole.
About to make a space jump, all the genius trainees, all suppressing the excitement in their hearts, closed their eyes and mobilised their entire body’s true qi to form a layer of body shielding heavenly astral.
When shuttling through the wormhole, even with the Silver Moon Ship’s defence shield, the martial artist would still have to withstand the enormous spatial pressure.
It was best to be able to release the Body Protecting Heavenly Deity to avoid injury.
Only Zhang Ruochen was the only one who didn’t release his Body Protecting Heavenly Deity, instead, he released his spiritual power and prepared to perceive the power of space.
“The spatial fluctuations must have been very intense while passing through the wormhole, so it’s a good time to take this opportunity to perceive the power of space.”
“Rumble!”
The moment it entered the wormhole, the Silver Moon Ship shook violently.
An enormous oppressive force surged over from all directions, exerting itself on all the cadets.
The trainees on the ship, all of whom were Heavenly Extremity Realm experts, were also guarded by the Body Protecting Heavenly Deity, so they were not affected too much.
Zhang Ruochen did not release his Body Protecting Heavenly Deity, so he could only use his physical body and resist the oppression of the spatial force.
In an instant, the pores of his entire body, contracted violently.
It was as if Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual energy had transformed into a thread of light patterns and was released, following the Silver Moon Boat as it passed through the layers of space.
Through his spiritual energy, he was able to clearly perceive that with each passing moment, the Silver Moon Ship had crossed tens of thousands of miles of spatial distance.
It was at this moment that Zhang Ruochen finally realised the true meaning of “Spatial Shift”.
Thus, Zhang Ruochen immediately mobilised his spatial power and performed a Spatial Shift.
“Swish!”
In an instant, Zhang Ruochen’s body disappeared from its original location and appeared ten feet away, standing beside a female student with long blonde hair and very fair skin.
That one female cadet, who still had her eyes closed, was resisting the spatial force, and didn’t notice Zhang Ruochen at all.
“What a miraculous power, there isn’t a single fluctuation of true qi.”
If there were true qi fluctuations, that one blonde female cadet, would definitely have noticed it.
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help but squeeze his hands tightly, his heart beating wildly, he was very elated that he had finally succeeded in cultivating Spatial Shifting, and he had one more trick to save his life.
Spatial Shifting, no longer belonged to the category of speed.
Because, even with the fastest speed, it would take time to cross a distance of ten zhang.
Zhang Ruochen crossing a distance of ten zhang took almost no time at all. Even if it was a Half Saint, it was impossible to be faster than him.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
……
Zhang Ruochen tested thirteen times in a row, constantly changing his position, leaving behind a single silhouette, like thirteen Zhang Ruochen standing on the deck of the Silver Moon Ship.
Twelve of the silhouettes, gradually disappeared, leaving only one Zhang Ruochen.
He returned to his initial position and stood still.
“With my current cultivation, I can cross a distance of up to seventeen zhang at once. Even if it’s a cultivator of the Fish Dragon Realm’s Ninth Transformation who wants to kill me, I’m afraid it won’t be an easy task.”
Although he had mastered spatial shifting, it did not mean that Zhang Ruochen was invincible.
Because, each time, he could only move a distance of more than ten feet before he had to stop, spend time, and perform a second Spatial Shift.
If it was a Half-Saint who made a move, he would be able to kill Zhang Ruochen the moment he stopped, and would not give him a chance to perform a second Spatial Shift at all.
Of course, that was a Half Saint.
Using Spatial Shift was already enough for Zhang Ruochen to easily escape in the hands of a Fish Dragon Realm cultivator. Only a strong person in the Fish Dragon Realm would be able to keep him.
“Cultivating into Spatial Shifting, as long as I’m a bit more careful, it’s enough to travel across the Lower Ruins Realm, there shouldn’t be any power that threatens to get me.”
Zhang Ruochen was in a great mood.
“Rumble!”
Right at this moment, the Silver Moon Ship, once again, shook violently.
It was about to pass through the wormhole.
“Wow!”
A blinding white light emanated out, piercing Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, briefly blinding him for a split second.
In the next moment, the Silver Moon Ship entered the dark, cold void of space.
Zhang Ruochen looked into the distance and saw a huge mountain range, suspended in the darkness, over a thousand miles long.
The mountain range, made up of hard rocks, was crisscrossed with canines and peaks, appearing majestic.
It was like a huge mountain ridge shaped meteorite, eternally floating in space.
On the Silver Moon Boat, many of the trainees had come to the Chaotic Ten Thousand Realms Mountain for the first time, and were too shocked to speak when they saw the sight before them.
As the Silver Moon Ship flew closer and closer, it could already be vaguely seen that on top of that mountain ridge that was over a thousand miles long, there were densely packed military camps built.
There were warships that flew out from the mountain range, passing through the Ruins Realm passageway, carrying a boatload of human martial artists, rushing to a certain Ruins Realm battlefield.
At the same time, there were also warships that flew back from the Ruins Realm battlefields, carrying blood-soaked soldiers back to the military camps on the Chaotic Ten Thousand Realms Mountain to recuperate.
This was a magnificent picture. Every day, an unknown number of martial artists came from all over the Kunlun Realm to the Chaos World Mountain, entered the military camp, and headed to the Market Realm Battlefields to open up new territories for the human race, open up new worlds, and establish a new human civilisation.
The cadets of the Martial City Academy, seeing this scene, all had their blood boiling and wanted to enter the Market Realm Battlefield as well, to become the vanguard warriors of the Human Race.
That one yellow-faced cadet, Wu Zhiyao, had a blazing flame gushing out of his eyes as he said, “We martial cultivators should use our strength in the Market Realm Battlefield, fight to kill the enemy, and create an even wider territory for the Human Race to survive in.”
“Only the great Empress Chi Yao had such vigour, not only unifying the Human Race in the Kunlun Realm and suppressing the barbarian beast clans to the point where they couldn’t breathe, but also expanding the Ruins Realm’s boundaries. Under her leadership, the Human Race will surely become the master of the entire heaven and earth.”
Many of the trainees knelt on the ground with immense reverence, kneeling and kowtowing to the gigantic statue of Empress Chi Yao in the Chaotic Ten Thousand Realms Mountain, incomparably reverent and pious.
It was only after Empress Chi Yao unified the Kunlun Realm that the human race truly freed up their hands to clean up the various races of savage beasts, suppress the four directions, and open up the Ruins Realm, and the human race’s status and overall strength, almost reached its peak.
In the past, the human race in the Kunlun Realm was also very powerful, but almost all of them were infighting and killing each other, so it was difficult to make a concerted effort to deal with the barbarian beast clans, not to mention opening up the Ruins Realm territory.
In the eyes of those genius trainees, Empress Chi Yao was even more divine and great than the ancient great emperors, and could be called a true Gai Shi Holy Emperor.
