Duanmu Xingling asked, “What exactly do you want me to help you with?”
Zhang Ruochen said slowly, “I first captured the Orange Moon Star Envoy and killed the Yellow God Star Envoy, causing the Black Market One Piece Hall to lose face, which has already enraged them, and they will definitely retaliate back.”
“The Black Market’s power in the Eastern Domain’s Sacred City is not as strong as the Chen Family or the Sacred Courtyard. However, in the entire Eastern Region, the Black Market has great energy and has gathered countless evil experts.”
“I’m not worried that, they will come against me. However, I am worried that they will go to the Heavenly Demon Ridge and deal with my family. Although, the Martial Market Money Bank will definitely protect them, but, the black market experts are devious and cunning, I’m afraid that there will be accidents.”
Duanmu Xingling nodded and said, “You want me to send the Divine Sect’s cultivators to the Heavenly Demon Ridge to secretly protect them?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “With the power of the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect, it shouldn’t be a difficult task even if they intercept the Black Market’s people halfway, right?”
Duanmu Xingling stroked his chin and said, “Since Di Yi has already let slip that he wants to cause trouble on the day of your wedding to Sister Dust, then he will definitely put in a lot of effort to do this.”
“If they really put up a fight, it might cause a large-scale conflict between the Divine Sect and the Black Market, or even trigger a Saint-level battle.”
“Zhang Ruochen, all I can say is that as a senior sister, I will do my best to help you this time. However, whether or not I can fight Emperor Yi, I’m not sure.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “Thank you, Senior Sister Duanmu.”
Duanmu Xingling rolled her eyes and raised her chin, revealing a crystal clear side face, saying, “Many thanks, is that all? Isn’t there a little, substantial thank you gift?”
Zhang Ruochen thought towards and took out ten jin of Black Water Glazed Crystals and ten jin of Purple Cloud Sunken Fragrant Wood from his storage ring, handing them over to Duanmu Xingling together and once again said, “Many thanks, Senior Sister.”
A hint of disappointment appeared in Duanmu Xingling’s eyes.
However, in the end, she still put away the Black Water Glazed Crystal and the Purple Cloud Sunken Fragrant Wood, and said with some grudges, “You’re just like this piece of wood, no difference at all.”
Afterwards, Duanmu Xingling took out a half-foot long jade box from inside her storage bracelet and handed it to Zhang Ruochen, saying, “Five elemental spiritual treasures, you’re only missing the Nurturing Sacred Blood Soil, aren’t you? I know that you couldn’t open your mouth and ask me for it. Now, I’m taking the initiative to give it to you, do you want it?”
Duanmu Xingling’s pair of beautiful starry eyes were black and white, her eyelashes flickering as she looked at Zhang Ruochen from a close distance, and her eyes also had an imploring look.
Just now, that last sentence had some double entendre, as if it was not about handing over the Sacred Nurturing Blood Soil to Zhang Ruochen, but about handing over something else to him.
Zhang Ruochen took the jade box and held it in his palm as he faintly said, “Many thanks.”
Duanmu Xingling bit her lip and said, “If you like to thank, then thank for the rest of your life!”
After saying this, Duanmu Xingling turned around, her eyes a little sour, and her heart felt like it had been pinched by a hand, very painful.
She already understood that she and Zhang Ruochen could never be together.
Between them, there was an insurmountable chasm.
Duanmu Xingling took a deep breath to hide her emotions, and with a creak, she opened the door and walked out quickly.
Zhang Ruochen put away the Nurturing Sacred Blood Soil and followed suit.
Huang Yichen stood just below the laurel tree in the courtyard, her hands behind her back as she quietly waited, a pair of beautiful eyes glancing towards the door of Duanmu Xingling’s room from time to time.
Although, she knew that Zhang Ruochen and Duanmu Xingling couldn’t possibly do anything out of line, her mood was still hard to calm down.
The Orange Moon Star Envoy said cynically, “Pathetic! Your own fiancé is staying inside a room with your best sister, but you can only stand guard outside to watch the door for them. Haha! If I were you, I wouldn’t be so stupid.”
“If you say one more word, I’ll immediately make ten sword marks on your face, do you believe me?”Huang Yunchen said.
The Orange Moon Star Envoy snorted coldly and stopped speaking.
The sound of the door opening rang out, and Duanmu Xingling and Zhang Ruochen, successively walked out from inside.
Huang Yichen breathed a slight sigh of relief and tried to look as natural as possible as she immediately greeted them, saying, “Have you guys finished talking?”
She didn’t know exactly what Zhang Ruochen and Duanmu Xingling had talked about, nor did she want to know the contents, so she could only ask this.
Duanmu Xingling nodded and said, “It’s already been negotiated, and I’m going to make a trip back to the Eastern Region Sacred City now. Sister Dust, when you and Zhang Ruochen get married, let’s meet again!”
After saying that, Duanmu Xingling didn’t make any stops and immediately left.
Zhang Ruochen looked over towards Xiao Hei and used Voice Transmission to cryptically say, “The inner space of the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram has been propped up by the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood, and there are some hidden things that I want to ask you.”
Little Black let out a big laugh, “Zhang Ruochen, there are no outsiders present, so there is no harm in telling even the secrets of the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram.”
Present, besides Zhang Ruochen, Little Black, Huang Yichen, there was also the Orange Moon Star Envoy and Ao Xinyan.
The secret of the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram, Zhang Ruochen didn’t want the Orange Moon Star Envoy and Ao Xin Yan to know about it, but since Xiao Hei had already told it, there was no need to continue hiding it.
After all, Xiao Hei was not just as simple as just being a cat, but an ancient beast that had been sealed for 100,000 years, and in terms of wisdom and sophistication, it was simply not something that the current Zhang Ruochen could compare to it.
Since, it dared to tell the secret of the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, it could definitely guarantee that the secret, would not be leaked out.
Huang Yichen asked curiously, “What Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram?”
It wasn’t just Huang Yichen, the Orange Moon Star Envoy and Ao Xinyan were also quite curious.
“Since you guys want to know, then I’ll tell you.”
The Divine Martial Seal on Zhang Ruochen’s brow emerged, forming a strange and complex seal.
“Wow!”
The Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, flew out from within the Divine Martial Seal in the centre of his brow and hovered in front of Zhang Ruochen’s body.
Xiao Hei stood on top of a party of ten thousand jin of black stone and said, “The Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram is a scroll that was refined into a scroll by the Sacred Monk of Sumeru, employing one of the leaves of the Heaven Receiving Divine Tree, and, at the same time, it is also a temporal treasure.”
“The Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram has recognised Zhang Ruochen as its master, and as long as Zhang Ruochen injects his true qi into the scroll, he will be able to open the inner world of the scroll.”
“The flow of time between the picture scroll world and the outside world is completely different. When a martial artist is in the picture scroll world, they cultivate for ten days before a day passes in the outside world. In other words, just by possessing the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, it allows martial artists to increase their cultivation speed by ten times.”
“However, in reality, it’s far more than just ten times. This is because, within the world of the picture scroll, there is a Heaven Receiving Divine Wood, which can be called a spiritual root of heaven and earth. With its help, the Figure Scroll World is a holy land of cultivation.”
Hearing Little Black’s words, Huang Yichen, Ao Xinyan, and the Orange Moon Star Envoy were all stunned.
“Impossible, impossible.”
The Orange Moon Star Envoy immediately shook his head and said, “In the Middle Ages, the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood was chopped off by a ferocious man, so how could it still be alive in the world? Besides, how could a mere scroll possibly hold the legendary Heaven Receiving Divine Wood?”
The reason why the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood was called the “Heaven Receiving Divine Wood” was because its power was comparable to that of a deity.
Even in the eyes of the sages of later generations, the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood was the last god of the Kunlun Realm.
A mere scroll could hold a deity?
Not to mention that the Orange Moon Star Envoy didn’t believe it, even Huang Yichen and Ao Xinyan were somewhat unconvinced.
With their gazes, they looked over towards Zhang Ruochen.
Xiao Hei liked to talk big, so one could not believe it, but Zhang Ruochen’s words could be believed.
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards them, not wanting to explain more, and said, “Since we all already know the secret of the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, let’s enter the inner world of the scroll together.”
One of Zhang Ruochen’s palms, pressed on the surface of the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram and injected his True Qi into it.
“Wow!”
A moment later, a ray of haze rushed up from above the diagram scroll, converging into a door of space.
The crowd walked in together, arriving at the inner world of the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram.
The spatial ring that Zhang Ruochen had refined was already amazing, but, compared to the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram, it was completely worthless.
This was a true spatial treasure!
Under Zhang Ruochen’s leadership, the crowd came to the bottom of the stump of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood, and from afar, which looked like the stump of a tree, it was simply like an endless plain.
It could be imagined that that tree, if it was still alive, how huge would it have to be?
A vast, surging spiritual qi and holy qi, from inside the stump, emanated out, like layer upon layer of water waves, impacting one’s mind.
“This this is the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood?”
The Orange Moon Star Envoy’s eyes widened as his entire being was shocked by the aura emanating from the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood.
Compared to the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood, she was like a mole cricket.
Xiao Hei leapt and transformed into a black shadow, landing on top of the stump of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood and said in an old-fashioned manner, ”How is it? Cultivating here, you can absorb the holy qi emanating from the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood, and with this Emperor’s guidance, I believe that it won’t take long for you guys to cultivate your physiques to greatness.”
The you guys that Little Black was referring to were, of course, the Orange Moon Star Envoy and Ao Xin Yan.
The Orange Moon Star Envoy was somewhat moved, secretly saying, if the time in the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram was really ten times that of the outside world, and with the help of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood, within two months, one could break through to the Fish Dragon Realm. Within three years, one could impact the Half-Saint realm.
Of course, three years in the outside world would be thirty years in the diagram world.
She could cultivate in seclusion inside the Tulip World without any distractions, but Zhang Ruochen had to be wrapped up in mundane matters, and it was impossible for her to have much time to cultivate in the Tulip World. In this way, her cultivation speed would definitely surpass Zhang Ruochen’s.
As long as she was able to reach the Half-Saint realm, was she still afraid that she wouldn’t be able to deal with a cat and a Zhang Ruochen?
When that time came, she would be able to, kill Xiao Hei and Zhang Ruochen, seize the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram, a supreme treasure, and would definitely be able to become the supreme power of the Kunlun Realm in the future.
“Since that’s the case, let’s hold back for a while, let Zhang Ruochen think that I’ve already submitted to him, and wait until my cultivation has reached great heights, then I’ll trample him under my feet ruthlessly.”The Orange Moon Star Envoy thought so in her heart.
Until now, she had always thought that Xiao Hei was just a battle pet raised by Zhang Ruochen and did not place Xiao Hei in her eyes.
However, she did not know that Xiao Hei’s power was sealed in the Scroll World of the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram. Even if there was a Saint, who broke into the Tutelary World, it would be able to kill it.
Of course, even if Little Black was stronger, Zhang Ruochen could still mobilise the power of the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram to suppress it.
It could be described as, one thing against another.
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards the Orange Moon Star Envoy and said, ”The secret of the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram must never be leaked out. Since, having brought you in, it is impossible to let you out easily again. If, you still disobey, I can only kill you to silence you now.”
Zhang Ruochen’s heart to kill the Orange Moon Star Envoy had never changed.
The Orange Moon Star Envoy pretended to be very terrified and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, respectfully saying, “The cultivation environment in the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram is ten times better than the Black Market One Piece Hall. With the help of such a treasure, Your Excellency will definitely become the Lord of the Kunlun Realm in the future. Orange Moon is not an illiterate woman, and in the future, she is willing to serve by your son’s side, as a slave and a servant, and will never dare to have second thoughts.”
Zhang Ruochen stared Avray at the Orange Moon Star Envoy, not bothering to care whether she was telling the truth or not, anyway, as long as she was willing to bow her head and submit, she would first spare her life. It was fine to let her cultivate in the Scroll World, and in the future, she might be able to be of great use.
