Chapter 1802: Fairy Asks

Ji Fanxi was wearing a snow-white long dress, her slim, trim body soft as the willow with her black hair cascading down her back. It was a sight to behold as she appeared in the petal rain.

“I couldn’t believe there is such a beautiful woman in this world.”

Her beauty stunned every cultivator, including the Saintesses on Royal Mountain. They could not take their eyes off Ji Fanxin.

Zhang Ruochen was probably the only soul who would remain unexcited in front of Ji Fanxin.

“Your Dimensional Labyrinth and Time Array are overly simple. Any Saint King with 59th order spiritual power could have breached them.” Ji Fanxin’s voice sounded extremely pleasing to the ear.

Zhang Ruochen nodded his admission.

Earlier, when the cultivators from the Fane of Youshen were trying to dig out the remains of Jinglong, he had only haphazardly put up the arrays and rushed to Tongming River to stop them.

The Yi Huang Bone Scepter flew back in Zhang Ruochen’s hand.

As Zhang Ruochen communicated with the evil spirit, he looked up at the sky in the west and frowned. “It’s a shame that Feng Chengdao has gotten away.”

“Feng Chengdao’s cultivation base is very close to the Greater Precept World. Killing him isn’t that easy. Unless you could perform the move you used to kill Venerable Hiddenheart again, you might have a slightly higher chance,” said Ji Fanxi in her mind.

Up until now, Zhang Ruochen had only fine-tuned about three thousand red precepts in his left leg. He still had a long way to go before he could perform Yanshen’s Leg at will.

Due to the its uncontrollability, he almost exhausted all his Saint Qi when he used Yanshen’s Leg to kill Venerable Hiddenheart.

Besides, he had to lure his opponent closer to perform Yanshen’s leg for a sure-kill. But by doing this, he was taking an enormous risk. His opponent could have killed him before coming into the strike range of Yanshen’s Leg.

So when Zhang Ruochen decided to use this move, it had come to a kill-or-be-killed situation.

Zhang Ruochen’s thinking was positive. “Feng Chengdao might have gotten away, but on the bright side, the other small fries won’t dare to mess with Yunwu Commandery again, saving me the trouble of dealing with them.”

“No doubt that Feng Chengdao is strong. But he is barely a third-tier figure in the Fane of Youshen. The truly powerful ones are Cang Long and Ruan Ling, Youshen’s direct disciples. Had the two come in person, the entire Yunwu Commandery would have sunk underground. And you would be just a sitting duck in front of them.”

“Are they that powerful? Could it be that they have attained the Path Field?” asked Zhang Ruochen.

Ji Fanxin nodded lightly. “I fear that is not all.”

Zhang Ruochen sucked through his teeth. It seemed that the enemy was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Ji Fanxin continued. “But Cang Long and Ruan Ling have something more important to do and would not come for you for now. After all, you are just a small fry in their eyes. They could have simply sent some other people to take you out. Coming for you personally is just a waste of their time.”

“What important thing?” asked Zhang Ruochen.

“As the Kunlun Realm is awakening, many rare, precious things and ancient traditions will be born. Cang Long and Ruan Ling would naturally want to take this opportunity to make their physiques stronger, laying a solid foundation for condensing immortal bodies. The deeper the foundation and more precious the articles they get, the more powerful their immortal bodies would become,” said Ji Fanxin.

“Besides, the Infernal Court has been very aggressive. Cang Long and Ruan Ling need to prepare themselves to fight. Otherwise, once their foes from the Infernal Court arrive at the Kunlun Realm, they will surely give them a hard time.”

A sense of urgency rose within him.

Defending Yunwu Commandery has been a struggle for Zhang Ruochen, who was only a Six-step Saint King. If he wanted to fight the elites from the Celestial Court and the Infernal Court, he would need a higher cultivation base.

He would have to be a Seven-step Saint King at the minimum. Even if he could not defeat the Precept Domain cultivators, he should be able to get away from them with ease.

“Did you bring the Godstones this time, Fairy?” asked Zhang Ruochen.

Ji Fanxin shook her head lightly. “We don’t need the Godstones with our level of cultivation base. So we are not carrying them with us. But don’t get disappointed. I have sent men back to the Qianhui Realm. They may bring some.”

She continued. “In fact, I am curious. You are only in the Saint Kinghood, yet Yueshen have appointed you as a Divine Envoy. She must have been thinking highly of you. It shouldn’t be difficult for you to get some Godstones from her, I guess?”

“The thing is, she hasn’t given me a single goddamn Godstone.”

Zhang Ruochen laughed as he shook his head. “No one could know what God is thinking. Maybe Yueshen wants to toughen me and test my capability.”

Side-by-side, Ji Fanxin and Zhang Ruochen walked deeper into the Royal Mountain, looking like a pair of fairy lovers.

Every place they walked past, plants in the vicinity would flourish, and sacred herbs glow even more brilliantly.

“I heard a lot about you the moment I arrived at the Kunlun Realm. I didn’t know a rational person like you could lose control of your emotion for the sake of a woman,” said Ji Fanxi in her mind.

Zhang Ruochen laughed. “What else have you heard?”

“I heard that you and the empress of the Kunlun Realm used to be a couple, then turned to become enemies. Frankly, I think you have a legendary past.”

Ji Fanxin suddenly stopped in her tracks and stared at Zhang Ruochen. “I also heard that you have a world under your control. The Divine Sky-connecting Tree of the Kunlun Realm hasn’t been cut and is growing in that world of yours.”

Zhang Ruochen did not deny it. He knew that Ji Fanxi came for the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.

“The Divine Sky-connecting Tree has been cut. The one growing in my world is just a sprout from the root,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Ji Fanxi’s eyes brightened up. “Could you introduce it to me? I have some questions about the Path of Life to ask it.”

“The sprout of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree is still in its growth stage. Many memories and sentiments are missing. It might not be able to teach you.”

“As a being having traveled the farthest in the Path of Life, its understanding of the Path of Life isn’t something that the mortals could imagine. Even if it is just a sprout,” said Ji Fanxi in her mind.

“All right! Since we are allies, I think I should grant you this little favor and not upset our relationship. But, who about the price of the Godstones?”

“If you could introduce me to the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, I would give you three Godstones as a gift,” said Ji Fanxi.

“Deal!”

“I can bring you to that world. But let me tell you, even with your cultivation base, I can still easily defeat you in that world,” said Zhang Ruochen.

“If you trust me, I will naturally trust you,” said Ji Fanxin.

This lady was really enchanting. She was not only beautiful but also comfortable to be with. There was not the slightest sense of rejection or loathing.

There was no wonder so many elites were ready to kiss her shoestrings.

Ji Fanxin turned into a light particle and disappeared into Zhang Ruochen’s brow.

His spiritual power and Saint Soul formed into a shadow. Together with Ji Fanxin, he reappeared below the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.

The trunk of the flourishing Divine Sky-connecting Tree was larger than a mountain. Each leaf looked like a cloud, green, glittering, and translucent, inhaling and exhaling the Saint Qi of Heaven and Earth.

Ji Fanxin looked with awe, bowing at the Divine Sky-connecting Tree before initiating communication with its consciousness.

Both of them were cultivating the Path of Life and sharing many common languages.

Zhang Ruochen stood at a distance and waited. When he saw that both the Divine Sky-connecting Tree and Ji Fanxi had no intention to stop, he left behind a clone of his spiritual power while his Saint Soul and consciousness returned to his body.

Using the Spring of Life, he helped Xie Chengzi heal his injury.

Meanwhile, Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit and Demon Ape had apprehended the captives of the Fane of Youshen and brought them in front of Zhang Ruochen, seeking his advice on how to deal with these prisoners.

There were twelve prisoners, whose cultivation base was Four-step Saint Kinghood and above.

“The Fane of Youshen has many capable figures. They are not going to give up but surely make a comeback. First, keep these men in prison. Who knows, they would be of use one day?” said Zhang Ruochen.

Saint Devourer had brought back dozens of Abominations, most of which were still intact.

After the death of Venerable Hiddenheart, these Abominations lost their wills and were no different from normal corpses.

“These Abominations were impressive in combat. Especially War Dragon and War Tiger. They were as powerful as a Nine-step Saint King. It is a shame that no one in the Royal Mountain knows how the secret technique of controlling the Abominations. Destroy them for good!” said Zhang Ruochen.

“Lord.”

Xie Chengzi emerged and bowed to him. “I used to practice the Abomination secret technique. Would you allow me to try?”

Zhang Ruochen agreed. “It will be a good thing if you can control them. It will increase our strength by many folds.”

Awesome, the Little Taoist had brought back the black altar that the Fane of Youshen cultivators drove.

The black altar was not an ordinary piece of equipment. It could resist the power of space and time. Besides, even the Supreme Power had a hard time defeating it. But now, it had been torn into half and was terribly damaged.

“Can you repair it?” asked Zhang Ruochen.

“It is not easy, but surely, I can if you could bring me one alchemist to assist me. I can not only repair it but also increase its power some more,” said Awesome, the Little Taoist.

“Alchemist?” Zhang Ruochen mumbled thoughtfully.

“First, let’s forget about this black altar for now. Our priority is to enhance the defensive ability of the Royal Mountain. I have gotten all the materials you want. Next, it will be your show to see if you can put up a Ninth Stratum Array.”

“Really? I am afraid that with my current cultivation base, putting up a real Ninth Stratum Array is still beyond my ability. But making a prototype of it is easy-peasy,” said Awesome, the Little Taoist with a smile.

So Zhang Ruochen left all the materials necessary for setting up a Ninth Stratum Array to Awesome, the Little Taoist.

Meanwhile, he came to the outer perimeter of the Royal Mountain and set up a better Dimensional Labyrinth and Time Array. He was going to make the Royal Mountain an absolutely safe and secure base camp, where he could protect more people.
