Chapter 1644: God-Gazing Mountain

Under the moon.

Mu Lingxi walked into the pavilion and handed the wine cup to Zhang Ruochen.

Her hands were smooth like jade and her eyes glinted with gorgeous light.

Zhang Ruochen immediately stood up and looked more mellow. He took the wine cup, looked to Feng Yan and Xiang Chunan, and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to become sworn brothers with you. I have a lot of concerns myself, so I don’t want to bring you guys trouble.”

Feng Yan smiled and said, “You’re insulting me by saying that. I’m not afraid of trouble.”

Bang!

Xiang Chunan slapped the table and said, “I’d do anything for my brothers, no matter how dangerous it can be. Your trouble is our trouble, and I’m not joking about it!”

Zhang Ruochen then said, “Okay, now that you guys said so, I’ll have this drink now with you!”

“Wait, let’s drink up together!”

Xiang Chunan and Feng Yan also raised their cups, and they finished their drinks at the same time.

Xiang Chunan smashed the cup on the ground and asked, “Who should be the big brother, the middle brother, and who’s the little brother?”

Feng Yan said, “If you decide it by age, it’s too tacky, but if we use power to decide, it’ll damage our relationship. How about we use a different strategy?”

“What strategy?”

Feng Yan said, “The God-Naming Platform Conference will begin the day after tomorrow. We’ll decide it by seeing who gains the most in the conference. How about that?”

Xiang Chunan said without hesitating, “Okay! Sounds good!”

Zhang Ruochen smiled. “Brother Feng, you’re a disciple of Truth Godly Palace, so you must know much more about the God-Naming Platform Conference, so you have an edge already. Do you want to be the big brother?”

“That’s right. I want to be the big brother as well,” said Xiang Chunan.

“Rest assured. Now that we’ve become sworn brothers, I’ll tell you guys everything I know about the God-Naming Platform tonight.”

…

Zhang Ruochen, Feng Yan and Xiang Chunan finished all the alcohol on Kongling Island, and there were alcohol bottles everywhere inside and outside the pavilion.

Enjoy your life to the fullest and raise your wine cups to the moon.

Sometimes, you needed to put down everything that bothered you and do the simplest thing.

Zhang Ruochen was incredibly happy tonight. He felt like someone who finally got out of a swamp, relaxed as never before.

He let loose and got drunk.

Probably because of the change in his state of mind, Zhang Ruochen found that he had hundreds of more saintly way rules in his body on the next day, and he now had forty-two hundred saintly way rules in total.

He could easily feel that his cultivation had reached a new level.

Zhang Ruochen operated his exercises, and the saint Qi in his body rapidly flowed. He formed a fist print, and a gigantic saint Qi storm was formed.

“Have I become a second-step saint king?” Zhang Ruochen looked pleased.

After becoming a saint king, comprehension was the most important. Also, the monks’ state of mind mattered. Sometimes, the monks could be stuck at a level for several years, but sometimes, their cultivation could surge overnight.

He wasn’t sure whether he’d reached a new level or not as he couldn’t head to Nine Steps to the Sky Path. However, it was still amazing that his cultivation surged.

There were ancient trees with red flowers on them in the yard, giving dimming light.

Mu Lingxi was standing under the tree, and she smiled seeing Zhang Ruochen wake up. “Uncle Jing came and took forty-two tokens when you were still drunk, and he thanked you on behalf of the entire Guanghan Field.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “That’s nothing.”

“To Guanghan Field, it’s significant. That King Wuhan won’t make things difficult for you anymore,” said Mu Lingxi.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and held Mu Lingxi in his embrace.

Mu Lingxi pretended to struggle, and then, she leaned her blushing face against Zhang Ruochen’s chest like a cat. She whispered, “Are you wondering why I persuaded you to become sworn brothers with them?”

“I know why,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Mu Lingxi said, “I know you don’t want to become their sworn brothers because of Empress Chi Yao and the sinister power, and that you’ll bring trouble to any monk who’s close to you, but you’re the only one I care about, so I hope you can have friends who can share your burden and fight side by side with you. Then you don’t need to carry all the pressure by yourself. Am I being too selfish?”

Mu Lingxi looked anxious, as she was worried that Zhang Ruochen would be pissed.

Zhang Ruochen said, “You can only expect others to treat you sincerely if you do the same thing. I won’t tell them about my enemies, as I’ll deal with them myself.”

“Sorry.”

Mu Lingxi started to tear up.

Zhang Ruochen kissed Mu Lingxi on her neck and smiled. “Don’t say anything like that. You were only trying to help, weren’t you? However, please try a different way next time.”

“Okay.”

Mu Lingxi nodded.

…

The God-Naming Platform was one of the few ancient remains in Heaven World.

It was said that Heaven World built Truth Godly Palace here because of the God-Naming Platform.

However, the God-Naming Platform was almost always sealed, so even the disciples from Truth Godly Palace didn’t know exactly where the God-Naming Platform was. It would only be revealed every ten years during the God-Naming Platform Conference.

A crimson cloud boat was sailed to Kongling Island on the morning of the God-Naming Platform Conference. It was led by Feng Xi, Feng Yan, Zhang Ruochen, Xiang Chunan and Mu Lingxi, who had boarded the boat.

And besides, there were also twenty-two first disciples who lived on Kongling Island that boarded the Cloud Boat with them.

They were appendages to Feng Xi.

All those first disciples were extraordinary, which amazed Zhang Ruochen.

Every first disciple was a top-tier talent with great status in Truth Heavenly Domain. Supreme saints from the weak fields would greet them if they walked out of Truth Heavenly Domain.

Which showed how prominent Feng Xi was in Truth Heavenly Domain, otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many first disciples following her.

That Feng Xi was very forceful and aloof, and she didn’t say a word on the boat.

As for the first disciples and Feng Yan, nobody dared talk loudly as if they were subordinates in front of a queen.

“She’s very powerful, at least as strong as Ji Fanxin,” Zhang Ruochen speculated.

The Cloud Boat was sailed again, heading to the floating islands to pick up people.

Almost all the floating islands were the refining places for godly disciples.

Godly disciples kept boarding the Cloud Boat. All of them looked dashing and proud as they were the best talents among their peers. However, the godly disciples had different numbers of first disciples following them.

Some godly disciples were only followed by one or two first disciples.

However, some godly disciples were followed by seven to eight first disciples.

As for Feng Xi, she was the only one who had more than twenty first disciples following her.

Gradually, there were more than twenty godly disciples on the Cloud Boat, so the sailor stopped picking up people from the floating islands, flying toward God-Gazing Mountain.

God-Gazing Mountain was only tens of thousands of miles away from Truth Godly Palace. It was yellowish brown without any plants on it. The mountain was steep and spectacular.

The part of the mountain that was above the clouds was more than seventy thousand feet tall. The Cloud Boat that was only five hundred feet long was nothing but a dark spot compared to that.

Zhang Ruochen and the others got off the Cloud Boat and climbed up on God-Gazing Mountain where they found lots of monks having gathered on the peak already. They came from different large fields, and they were wearing different saint blouses and armor. Besides, human monks only made up a small fraction of them. Most of the monks came from other races.

“Brother Zhang, brother Xiang, let’s meet in God-Naming Mountain.” Feng Yan smiled.

Xiang Chunan waved his hand and said, “Rest assured. We’re definitely powerful enough to pass the qualification test easily.”

Zhang Ruochen, as the priest of Guanghan Field, could get an invitation letter and get into the God-Naming Platform Conference.

However, he learned from Feng Yan that the God-Naming Platform Conference wasn’t just a conference, but a battle for ancient valuables, which made it very dangerous.

‘Zhang Ruochen’ was already put under the spotlight, so he would be targeted.

Which was why Zhang Ruochen decided to change his appearance and join the God-Naming Platform Conference in a different way.

Feng Xi, Feng Yan and the twenty-two first disciples walked to the southern cliff of God-Gazing Mountain.

There was an ancient godly door that was hundreds of feet tall on the edge of the southern cliff, and they arrived at God-Naming Platform after walking through the godly door.

There were sixteen generals wearing white saint armor on both sides of the godly door. Every monk who came here needed to show them their invitation to get in.

“Senior sister Feng.”

The sixteen generals in white saint armor greeted Feng Xi at the same time.

The godly disciples who went through the door weren’t welcomed like this.

Feng Xi handed the generals the invitation letter and walked through the door with her hands behind her back. Her body vanished as she stepped in as if she was swallowed by the water screen.

The monks on God-Gazing Mountain all looked envious as they saw the people walking through the godly door. Anyone who received an invitation was definitely an exceptional talent under supreme saints.

That godly door represented power and identity.

The monks who didn’t receive an invitation had to pass the qualification test to enter the conference.

A monk who was only around thirty years old exclaimed, “If I could join the God-Naming Platform Conference, it’d be the highlight of my entire life. I’d boast about it for the rest of my life after getting back to Tianyuan Field.”

“I heard that most of the angels from ‘Nine Angels Beauty Scroll’ are going to join the God-Naming Platform Conference. If I could get into the God-Naming Platform and meet my Goddess Hundred Flower Fairy, I’d be willing to live a hundred less years,” a young man carrying a saint sword said.

“There are seven forbidden lands in the God-Naming Platform where you can find the valuables left by ancient Gods. I heard someone dug out the fragment of a godly weapon in the last God-Naming Platform Conference.”

“That’s nothing. An elder in my family told me that someone trespassed on Dark Demon Well ten thousand years ago and released an ancient demonic God, who later joined Truth Godly Palace and became one of the top-tier beings in Truth Godly Palace.”

…

The monks were waiting on God-Gazing Mountain while sharing the stories they’d heard before.

Everyone was very excited as they wanted to pass the qualification test to enter the God-Naming Platform Conference, and they all had different goals.

“Look! There are nine golden dragons dragging a divine carriage,” someone screamed.

Everyone looked to the Cloud Ocean.

There were nine giant golden dragons that were thousands of feet long pulling an ancient carriage a thousand miles away, and the forces coming from the ancient carriage were terrific.

“That golden dragon carriage is a Nine-Yao ten thousand patterns saint weapon.”

“Gosh! Even some supreme saints don’t have Nine-Yao ten thousand patterns saint weapons. Who’s the owner of that golden dragon carriage?”

Mu Lingxi stared at that ancient golden carriage, looking confused. She knew that it was Zhang Ruochen’s Golden Dragon Carriage, and only the emperors of Sacred Central Empire were qualified to ride it.

How did the Golden Dragon Carriage fall into the hands of other monks?

And besides, Zhang Ruochen had never brought it up before.

Boom!

The Golden Dragon Carriage arrived at God-Gazing Mountain in the end. Someone inside the carriage lifted the carriage curtain made of saint gold with her ethereal hands.

Before the beauty in the carriage walked out, her fragrance had been spread everywhere, permeating the entire God-Gazing Mountain, mesmerizing people.

Beautiful flowers started to grow on the barren rocks and mountains, and the mist in the air formed white pedals, falling onto the ground.

Seeing an amazing scene like this, some male monks figured out who was inside the golden dragon carriage, and they were exhilarated.
