“No wonder Di Yi was able to break through to the Fish Dragon Second Transformation in a short period of time, so it turns out that he possesses a Sacred Source.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded, a smile of dawning realisation appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Earlier, in order to escape for his life, Emperor Yi actually did not even want the Saint Origin, so he could afford to let go of it. It was only a pity that in the end, he hadn’t escaped.
“That’s a Saint Origin.”
Seeing the Saint Origin in Zhang Ruochen’s hand, Xiao Hei, Mu Lingshi, and the Orange Moon Star Envoys all had glowing eyes and surrounded them, not hiding it in the slightest, with expressions of awe on their faces.
Each Saint Source was a treasure of immense value, incomparably precious, not only could it drastically increase a cultivator’s cultivation speed, it could also greatly increase the chances of becoming a Saint.
Even Half-Saints would desperately fight for it.
Even in big powers like the Black Market, the Martial Market Money Bank, and the Demon Sect, even if you had a high natural talent, if your cultivation hadn’t reached the seventh level of Half-Saint or above, it would be impossible to obtain a Saint Source at all.
For Di Yi to be able to possess a Sacred Source when he was in the Fish Dragon Realm, it could be said that it was already groundbreaking.
“Good stuff, for those who see it.”
Xiao Hei’s legs leapt up and transformed into a black shadow as he swooped up, wanting to seize the Saint Source.
Zhang Ruochen’s arm retracted and dodged Little Black.
After pouncing, Little Black was unable to utilise his strength, and immediately crashed to the ground, carrying a heel, and his chubby head, with a bang, crashed on top of a huge rock, cracking it.
“Zhang Ruochen, you have the Dragon Pearl and the Relic, the Saint Source has no effect on you, so why do you want to keep it all to yourself? This Emperor proposes that your Saint Source be rewarded to this Emperor’s disciple.”
Little Black climbed up from the ground and said in a serious and earnest manner.
Zhang Ruochen said, “How often have I said that I want to monopolise the Saint Source?”
Hearing Zhang Ruochen’s words, the Orange Moon Star Envoy’s eyes instantly became brighter.
Sacred Sources were simply too precious, even if, as a Star Envoy of the Black Market One Piece Hall, she would hardly have the chance to obtain one.
If she was able to obtain a Sacred Source from Zhang Ruochen’s hands, coupled with the ten times time of the Touhou World, she would be confident that her own cultivation would skyrocket, and even, leave Zhang Ruochen far behind as well.
Zhang Ruochen, however, didn’t pay any attention to the Orange Moon Star Envoy at all, but instead cast his gaze towards Mu Lingshi and said, “In this battle, Senior Sister Duanmu has contributed the most, so of course the Saint Source should go to her.”
Mu Lingshi was instantly stunned, completely not expecting that Zhang Ruochen would want to give her the Sacred Source.
A Saint Origin, even for a Saint Daughter of the Moon Worshipping Divine Sect, it would be very difficult to obtain one. After all, the Moon Worshipping Divine Sect did not have more than one Saint Daughter, and it was simply impossible for every Saint Daughter to possess a Saint Source.
By possessing a Saint Source, one had at least half a chance of impacting into the realm of a Saint.
From this, it could be seen how precious a Saint Origin was.
“Senior Sister Duanmu? What Duanmu Senior Sister?”
Xiao Hei obviously didn’t recognise Mu Lingshi, staring at Mu Lingshi with a pair of round eyes, rather curious.
Although Mu Lingshi was surprised, she was not pretentious and did not be polite with Zhang Ruochen, collecting the Saint Source and holding it tightly in her hands.
For some reason, a greater joy than obtaining the Saint Source arose in her heart.
Zhang Ruochen could give her a Sacred Source without frowning, thus showing that she definitely still had a certain position in Zhang Ruochen’s heart and was not a dispensable woman.
That feeling was like stealing honey, giving rise to a feeling that was both warm and sweet in one’s heart.
“Di Yi’s identity is honourable, there must be Half-Saints hiding in the shadows to protect him. The Evil Dao powerhouses from the Black Market will surely come after him soon, so let’s leave this place first.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Although, the Red Desire Star Envoy had invited the Ye Family’s Demi-Saint to hold Emperor Yi’s Taoist Protector at bay, Emperor Yi’s Taoist Protector was after all a Demi-Saint, and sensing that something was not good, he would surely catch up.
Encountering a half-saint would be quite dangerous even if Zhang Ruochen had a holy decree in his possession, so naturally, he had to leave as soon as possible.
Zhang Ruochen put the Alchemy Warrior back away, and then, led the crowd all the way out of the Eastern Region’s Evil Soil Lands and into the depths of the Falling God Mountain Ridge before stopping for the time being.
Finding a deep valley with a hidden location, Zhang Ruochen took out the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram and opened the Space-Time Gate, accessing the crowd into the world of the Diagram Scroll.
It was the first time for Mu Lingshi to enter the Tutelary World, and she immediately felt quite novel. When she saw the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood at the centre of the world, she was even more shocked and speechless.
The trunk of the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood towered into the clouds, connecting the earth and the sky, and one could clearly feel it gulping in spiritual qi, emitting an ancient and massive aura.
“I really didn’t expect that you actually have a Cave World in your grasp as well. Incredible, truly incredible.”Mu Lingshi said in awe.
Zhang Ruochen heard another layer of meaning in Mu Lingshi’s words and couldn’t help but ask, “Could it be that Senior Sister has also seen similar spatial worlds elsewhere?”
Mu Lingshi immediately put away the awe on her face and revealed a difficult look as she said, “That is a big secret of the Moon Worshipping Divine Sect, and I had sworn in front of the Sect Leader that I absolutely could not reveal it. Zhang Ruochen is sorry.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and comforted, “Senior sister, why are you saying sorry to me? This is a question that I shouldn’t have asked, after all, that is a secret in your sect. As a Holy Maiden, you naturally cannot reveal the hidden secrets of the sect.”
Zhang Ruochen had once been the Crown Prince of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire, so he more or less had some knowledge of the hidden secrets of the major powers.
In fact, even if Mu Lingshi didn’t say anything, he could still roughly guess some of them. It was just that there were some words that could be kept in his heart, and there was no need to say everything.
Just now, it was indeed that he had asked too presumptuously and lacked consideration, which was why he made Mu Lingshi feel guilty.
Mu Lingshi pursed her lips and sighed, no longer saying more on top of this matter, only her heart felt even more guilty.
“Senior sister, you must not think too much, everyone has secrets that belong to them, I also have some secrets that I can’t tell you, so there’s no need for you to feel so guilty.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and took the initiative to diverge from the topic, saying, “Since I came to the Scrolls World, it’s better to settle my grudge with Emperor Yi first.”
With that, Zhang Ruochen took out the Ruyi Treasure Vase, and with his finger on top of the vase, he stimulated the spatial inscription in the vase.
“Wow!”
Immediately, a stream of air gushed out from inside the Ruyi Treasure Bottle.
Di Yi’s body, wrapped inside the airflow, followed and flew out. He didn’t realise that he was in the Tou Shu World, so only just after his feet landed on the ground, he immediately unfolded the holy decree and stimulated the holy power within it, wanting to escape.
“Where to escape?”
Little Black snorted coldly and swung out with a claw, instantly triggering heaven and earth’s aura to condense into a huge black claw mark, slapping down the Emperor who had flown into the sky with a single claw.
Although, Little Black only casually struck out a claw, but in the Touhou World, how powerful it was, directly breaking more than a dozen bones in Di Yi’s body, emitting a series of bone shattering explosions.
With a bang, Di Yi crashed to the ground, smashing a two-metre deep crater in the ground.
Because his injuries were so severe, he lay at the bottom of the pit, his entire body in pain, completely unable to move.
“How? How did this happen?”
Di Yi’s face was covered in beads of sweat, and his body trembled unceasingly.
Until this moment, he still refused to admit that he had failed. Ever since he was a child, everyone around him had told him that he was the most outstanding person in the entire Kunlun Realm, and that his natural talent even surpassed that of the Evil Emperor of the past.
How could such an outstanding person lose to Zhang Ruochen one after another?
Why?
Unwillingness.
Zhang Ruochen walked over to Di Yi’s side and snatched the holy decree from Di Yi’s hand. Afterwards, he searched out a second scroll of holy decree from Di Yi’s body.
“Surprisingly, there are two volumes of holy edicts.”
Zhang Ruochen opened the second scroll of the holy decree and took a closer look.
Finally, Zhang Ruochen’s gaze landed on the lower left of the holy decree, only to see that the inscription on it was actually the Sacred Book Talented Lady who had shaken the Eastern Region.
Regarding the “Sword Discussion Conference”, Zhang Ruochen had heard a bit about it from the Xuan Gui Sword Saint, and it was said to be an event for the world’s sword users, which was only held once every hundred years.
The Sword Discussion Conference was not just an opportunity to comprehend the Wordless Sword Script, it was also a gathering of clouds, with both the young generation’s prideful sons and the older generation’s Sword Saints all converging on the Sword Pavilion.
Among them, the characters of the older generation were naturally exchanging with each other their experiences of the sword dao over the past hundred years, or sitting and discussing the world’s wind and clouds.
The young generation of sword masters, but there is no shortage of a dragon fight, many obscure swordsmen, may be able to make a name for themselves in the sword conference, Wei all day down.
Why did the Sacred Book Talented Lady invite Emperor Yi to the Sword Discussion Conference?
And in what capacity did the Sacred Book Talented Lady appear?
Zhang Ruochen gently shook his head, re-rolled the holy edicts, and with a gentle stroke of his finger, he tore open a spatial crack and threw the two rolls of holy edicts inside the crack.
With a piercing sound, the two scrolls of holy edicts were instantly torn apart by the power of space and swept into the chaotic void of space.
The holy edicts had the holy power of the Sacred Book Talented Lady and the Black Market One Piece Hall Master on them, so naturally, they had to be destroyed without leaving any traces behind so as not to draw fire to themselves.
Seeing the dying Emperor One, the Orange Moon Star Envoy’s eyes became a few degrees colder, and the true qi in her body slowly revolved. The Dragon Chain wrapped around her wrist emitted a “clattering” sound, and a layer of reddish-coloured holy light immediately surged out.
Zhang Ruochen sensed the power fluctuation, then raised his head and stared at the Orange Moon Star Envoy.
Xiao Hei’s expression, too, became quite condensed, knowing that Zhang Ruochen had become somewhat enraged, he immediately advised, “Yue’er, you should understand that inside the Scroll World, with your strength, it is impossible for you to save Emperor Yi. For Master to advise you, it’s best not to do anything foolish.”
A look of determination appeared in the Orange Moon Star Envoy’s eyes as he said, “The Murong Family’s ancestral motto has a total of four major tenets, loyalty, filial piety, courage, and righteousness. Among them, loyalty ranks first. ”
“Since, I am the Star Envoy of the Black Market First Class Hall, and he is the Young Lord, how can I watch him die in front of me?”
