Zhang Ruochen leapt onto the Earth Fire Qilin’s back and looked out to the sea, but there was no sign of the Standing Earth Monk at all.
That one monk should have already left.
“Wow!”
The Earth Fire Qilin’s wings unfolded, harnessing a wave of wind energy and carrying Zhang Ruochen and the Spirit Pivot Half-Saint, they shot up into the sky and flew in the direction of Huang Yu Island.
Strangely enough, the flames on the Earth Fire Qilin’s wings were originally devastatingly hot, but ever since it had been taken in by the Spirit Centre Half-Saint, the flames had become very gentle and not half as aggressive.
The Earth Fire Qilin soon flew to the sea where the Pillar of the Sinful Sea was located earlier, only that, at this moment, the sea had become quite calm.
The Spirit Pivot Half-Saint seemed to know what Zhang Ruochen was thinking, so he said, “Earlier, when I was searching for you, the three Soldier Saints of the Ministry of Soldiers stationed at the Chaos Ten Thousand Boundaries Mountain came at the same time, and had already collected the Pillar of the Sinful Sea.”
Zhang Ruochen side-stepped, “Senior Sister, that piece of Evil Weapon is of extraordinary power, and the method of casting it seems to be a bit different from the Kunlun Realm as well.”
The Spirit Pivot Half-Saint glanced at Zhang Ruochen, raised his head, looked at the vast sky, and said thoughtfully, “There is nothing strange in the great world. How vast is the Kunlun Realm, just the Eastern Region alone is boundless, and there are many places that even Saints have never heard of.”
“Senior brother, the places you’ve been to are only an extremely small even, how do you know that in the Kunlun Realm, there are no unique refining techniques?”
“Reading ten thousand books, travelling ten thousand miles, observing the changes in all things, and experiencing all the conditions of the human world will ultimately allow you to truly comprehend the realm of the Half Saints. Elder Sister will give you a piece of advice, when you return to the Kunlun Realm, don’t stay in the Sacred Courtyard all the time, go out and walk around a bit more, it might be able to give you a clearer understanding of this world.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded, keeping the words of the Spirit Pivot Half-Saint firmly in his mind.
In his last life, Zhang Ruochen had spent the vast majority of his time in cultivation, almost never going out alone to practice.
In this life, Zhang Ruochen had also only accumulated military value on the Market Realm Battlefield, and apart from killing, he was still killing, and he had only read about many people’s experiences and many places of interest in books, and had never gone to experience them firsthand.
Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles.
Perhaps, really should go out and take a walk, to see all the wonders of the world, perhaps there will be the hearts of the people of the world, and perhaps there are temptations that make people lose themselves.
One must experience it before one can prove that one has existed in this world.
Afterwards, the Spirit Pivot Half-Saint added a meaningful remark, saying, “In fact, there are some things that I can’t tell you right now, for fear that it might affect your cultivation.”
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards the Spirit Pivot Half-Saint and saw that she had closed her eyes again, so he did not continue to pursue the matter.
After swallowing a mouthful of Wood Spirit Red Stillwater, Zhang Ruochen began to heal his wounds.
With the Spirit Hub Half-Saint’s escort, the journey was calm and quiet, and without encountering any more dangers, Zhang Ruochen safely returned to the Chaotic Ten Thousand Realms Mountain.
At the Chaotic Ten Thousand Realms Mountain, apart from the military barracks that stretched for thousands of miles at a glance, there were dozens of palaces suspended in mid-air.
Each and every one of them was like the mansions of the immortals, and the ordinary Market Realm warriors could only look up to them, but they were not qualified to climb up to the palaces at all, let alone knowing, which great figures were residing in the palaces.
Green Harvest Palace, up to ninety-nine feet high, all black, cast in metaphysical iron, tiles, beams, pillars, windows, almost all of them are connected as one, atmosphere, heavy, giving people a solemn feeling.
The owner of the Green Harvest Hall, named Saint Qing Xiao, was a Soldier Saint of the Ministry of Military Affairs, as well as Elder Xuan Gui’s great disciple.
Zhang Ruochen and the Spiritual Pivot Half-Saint walked into the Green Harvest Hall and bowed at the same time, saying in unison, “Disciple, greetings to Master.”
Wearing a white robe, Elder Xuan Gui stood in the centre of the hall, turned around, his pale eyes, carefully sizing up Zhang Ruochen, and laughed, “Ten years for a small era, a hundred years for a great era. Seventy years ago, the Little Saint Heavenly King Trillion Trillion, slaughtered three kingdoms in the Spirit River Market Realm, alone, killed all the indigenous beings above the Earth Extremity Realm’s Great Perfection, and broke through to the Heavenly Extremity Realm’s Supreme Extremity Realm in one fell swoop, and the world felt that this era belonged to him, and that no one could surpass it. However, my master feels that your natural talent is even more above the trillions of trillions.”
Zhang Ruochen humbly said, “Over the past hundred years, the Kunlun Realm has given birth to I don’t know how many outstandingly gifted individuals, and my disciple’s current achievements are still far inferior compared to many of them.”
“Not to mention the Junior Saint Heavenly King from seventy years ago, even in the last fifty years, in the entire Kunlun Realm, there have been hundreds of Sacred Bodies that have been born, and which one of them is not a dragon and phoenix amongst men? Disciples still need to work harder to catch up with them.”
On the left side of the great hall, a loud laughing voice resounded, saying, “Junior disciple, you are too modest! In the big era of a hundred years, it may not yet be known who will dominate. However, the small era of ten years will definitely be your stage, Second Senior Brother I don’t believe that there is still someone who can defeat you.”
In the Green Harvest Hall, besides Elder Xuan Gui, there were two other people.
The person sitting on the left side, named Zhu Hongtao, was Zhang Ruochen’s second senior brother.
This person was very tall, standing at a height of four metres and three feet, with a fat head and a waist as thick as a millstone, wearing a pair of large red trousers underneath and a green silk shirt hanging from the upper half of his body, he was sitting beside a green wooden table with his chest bared and was gulping down meat and drinking wine.
Zhang Ruochen sensed a powerful aura only found in savage beasts on his second senior brother’s body, thus showing that he was not a human.
It was not rare for humans to accept savage beasts as disciples, so naturally, Zhang Ruochen was not surprised.
The man sitting on the right side was Zhang Ruochen’s third senior brother, named Wan Ke.
Wan Ke, however, appeared quite elegant, wearing a flawless white tunic with every button neatly fastened, and the hair on his head was combed very cleanly, without a single stray hair.
He appeared to be close to thirty years old, with clear eyebrows, a white face without a beard, delicate features, and a decent demeanour, with a modest smile hanging at the corner of his mouth at all times.
Before he came, the Spirit Pivot Half-Saint had explained to Zhang Ruochen about the features of the several senior brothers, so Zhang Ruochen was naturally able to recognise their identities, and hurriedly bowed, “Greetings to Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother.”
Second Senior Brother Zhu Hongtao waved his big hand and laughed, “Woah, Senior Brothers, there’s no need to be so polite. Hehehe, Junior Brother, I heard that you captured the Orange Moon Star Envoy of the Black Market One Piece Hall, and also took her in as a young daughter-in-law, Second Senior Brother’s heart is very impressed, how about how soon you and I exchange ideas together?”
“Cough!”
Third Senior Brother Wan Ke dryly coughed twice and glared over at Zhu Hongtao, saying, “Second Senior Brother, Junior Brother’s taste is not as vulgar as yours. As far as I know, Junior Senior Brother’s fiancée is a celestial daughter of the Chen Family of the Eastern Domain Saint King’s Mansion, and soon, she will be married. If you bring Junior Senior Brother to those places you often go to, are you not afraid that your younger sibling will fight you to the death?”
Zhu Hongtao’s eyes lit up as he stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Is it really true that Junior Brother is going to get married so soon? As far as I know, the cellar of the Eastern Domain Saint King’s Mansion has a collection brewed by the Wine Immortal Feng Drunken Sheng, won’t I be blessed with another mouthful?”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “According to the engagement, it is indeed already time to consummate the marriage. It is estimated that, this time, when we go back, we have to start preparing for this matter.”
Zhu Hongtao was excited at first, then immediately locked his brows and sighed, “Ai! In fact, the marriage since the youngest senior brother your mind has been decided, the second senior brother will not advise you, what needs help, despite the opening mention, the second senior brother in the Eastern Domain still has a few thin.”
Wan Ke pondered for a moment and said, “Originally, the first time we meet, as a senior brother, it is necessary to send one or two meeting gifts. It’s just a pity that this time, I came in a hurry and forgot to prepare, so when the day of the youngest senior brother’s wedding, third senior brother will definitely prepare a big gift to make up for the lack of this time.”
The Spirit Pivot Half-Saint laughed and said, “Third Senior Brother, you are too stingy, aren’t you? A meeting gift is a meeting gift, and getting married is another gift, how can you mix it up?”
“I remember, you seem to have a Meteor Invisibility Clothes woven with Invisible Silkworm Silk, after wearing it, not only can you become invisible, but you can also mask your body’s aura, and at a distance of more than ten feet, you can conceal the five senses of a Saint.”
Wan Ke felt a great deal of flesh pain, the Meteor Invisibility Vest, within all of his treasures, was able to rank in the top three.
The Meteor Invisibility Clothes, with its many wonderful powers, was not just a piece of stealthy clothing, it was also a defence-type Saint Artifact, which could help the cultivator withstand ninety percent of the attacking power.
Moreover, by putting it on, it also allowed the cultivator to burst out with speed as if it was a meteor.
Therefore, as long as one had it, then even if the enemy was a Saint, there was another chance to escape.
Wan Ke’s cultivation, which had already reached the realm of the Ninth Order Half Saint, was only one step away from the Saint realm, and the Meteor Invisibility Vest was no longer very useful to him.
Originally, he had planned to wait until the day of Zhang Ruochen’s marriage, as a gift, to give the Meteor Invisibility Vest to Zhang Ruochen.
However, he did not expect that the Spirit Pivot Half-Saint had mentioned it at this moment.
If he were to give the Meteor Invisibility Vest away now, what would he give when he got married? One couldn’t give a gift that was inferior to the Meteor Invisibility Cloak, right?
Headache!
It was really a headache!
Just as Wan Ke was having a headache, Zhu Hongtao roared out and said, ”It’s alright, third senior brother is famously stingy, but second senior brother and him are not all the way. What’s there to give away to your own senior brother?”
After saying that, Zhu Hongtao, from his mouth, spat out a golden orb.
The orb rotated in mid-air, emitting a buzzing sound, and the lines on the surface of the sphere, flickered non-stop, and upon closer inspection those lines looked like they formed a single arcane script.
The Spirit Pivot Half-Saint was slightly surprised and said, “Beast Origin Golden Dan.”
Zhang Ruochen was also startled and immediately took a step forwards, hastily saying, “Second Senior Brother, this gift is too valuable, I cannot accept it.”
Only savage beasts of the Swift Ancient Remnant Species could absorb the essence of the sun and moon and condense the Beast Yuan Golden Pill within their bodies.
Swift relic species were even rarer than divine beast descendants, but their battle power, however, was quite powerful.
At the same realm, a Swift Ancient Remnant Seed was able to fight against two Divine Beast Descendants. A Divine Beast Descendant was able to easily defeat, ten Barbarian Beasts of ordinary bloodline in the same realm.
Nowadays, almost all of the savage beasts were cultivating Saint Origin, and very few of them were able to condense a Beast Origin Golden Dan.
In fact, the Beast Origin Golden Dan was the same as the Saint Origin, not only did it contain a powerful essence of Saint Qi, but it also had a vast amount of knowledge. The only difference was that, the Beast Origin Golden Dan was easier to be absorbed by cultivators, and there was no mutual rejection.
Even for a Swift Ancient Legacy Species, it would take a hundred years to cultivate a Beast Yuan Golden Dan. From this, one could see how precious it was.
Such a precious treasure, Second Senior Brother could take it out and give it away with a big grin, but Zhang Ruochen could not accept it.
