Chapter 1878: Divine Gate

“What opportunity?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Fairy Tianchu moved lithely and stepped into the third divine river.

As her legs stepped on the surface, with her step she took, a white lotus and emerald-like green leaves would grow on the surface. The white lotus was crystal clear and was made out of saint path precepts.

She walked until the center of the divine river and stopped, saying. “You should already know that, only by cultivating the techniques and arts of the Tianchu Civilization, would you be able to able to harmonize with the precepts of heaven and earth of the Nine Carols Star, and gain a large amount of saint path precepts.

“Miss Miaohan had told me about this.” Zhang Ruochen said.

“Actually, there is an even bigger opportunity.”

Fairy Tianchu looked up. “The Nine Carols Star is the place where the ancestor of the Tianchu Civilization, Luoshen fell. If your harmonization with the precepts of heaven and earth is high enough, you can open the divine gate, and obtain the divine treasure Luoshen had left behind.”

“What divine treasure?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“I don’t know.”

Fairy Tianchu shook her head, saying. “That said, when I was meditating by the bank of the divine river, I have faintly perceived a divine will of Luoshen. It was that will that told me that. Perhaps, the legacy of Luoshen is a Supreme Sacred Artifact, or it may be the Galactic Treasure that Luoshen and the Celestial Gator had fought for many years back.”

“Back then, all of them fell in the fight for that Galactic Treasure, and fell from space into Kunlun Realm.”

A thought appeared in Zhang Ruochen. “Have Your Highness opened the divine gate?”

“No, my harmonization is still a bit short.” Fairy Tianchu said.

Zhang Ruochen continued. “Can’t the harmonization overlap? Why don’t you let the Fool, the Butcher, and the rest help you?”

Fairy Tianchu sighed softly and explained. “The Tianchu Civilization’s legacies stretches very far back, and have given birth to many gods across history. Each god would create a type of Great Unparalleled Path. And because of that, the Tianchu Civilization had spawned many different types of saint path. The saint path that the Fool and the Butcher cultivates, is not from Luoshen.”

“How about Miss Miaohan?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“Her cultivation level is a bit too low.”

Fairy Tianchu then pivoted. “However, in the Warsoul Star, I obtained the Beast-shaped sacred medicine, and after refining it, my cultivation had increased significantly. Perhaps now, I might have enough strength to open the divine gate.”

“If I’m still a little short, then I hope you will be able to use the Luoshui Fist to help me. After opening the divine gate, both you and I are sure to get a great opportunity.”

Zhang Ruochen said. “I naturally will not let such a good thing pass me by.”

Half an hour later, Li Miaohan also rushed over and stood with Zhang Ruochen.

At the center of the third divine river, Fairy Tianchu was like a white lotus upon a lake, pure and immaculate. Her slow breathing, and the pace of it, resonated with heaven and earth.

Suddenly, the precepts of heaven and earth came together, and gradually took a liquid form, and becoming a river, as they flowed around her.

Fairy Tianchu was using some sort of extremely arcane technique, as she tried her best to harmonize with heaven and earth. Luoshen too had cultivated this technique in the past.

The next moment.

The wind and clouds above the third divine river changed rapidly.

Fairy Tianchu lithely stepped on the water’s surface as she exercised the Luoshui Fist.

“Divine River Split.”

“Nine-Fold Twist and Turns.”

“Heaven-path Render.”

…

With every fist, the liquid precepts of heaven and earth around Fairy Tianchu moved a little faster, and let out a more and more deafening sound.

Zhang Ruochen carefully observed Fairy Tianchu’s fists, and compared to his, hers was much more gentle, like a spirit snake in the mist, or a startled bird deploying its wings.

“Her Luoshui Fist had already passed the tenth level.” Zhang Ruochen said.

Next to him, Li Miaohan said. “Only after coming to the Nine Carols Star did Master managed to reach the eleventh level of the Luoshui fist. But it is only a minor completion now and is still far away from great completion.

The power of the eleventh level Luoshui Fist was comparable to a high-level saint art, and its destructive power could destroy the heavens and earth.

Zhang Ruochen had also learned the cultivation technique of the eleventh level on the third divine river, but Fairy Tianchu was ahead of him, and her understanding deeper.

Hundreds upon thousands of precepts of heaven and earth streams gathered around Fairy Tianchu, twisting and coiling around each other, and crashing into the void.

BOOM!!

An illusory gate of light appeared.

The gate of light was three feet tall, translucent, and ephemeral.

Zhang Ruochen and Li Miaohan were excited. They did not expect that the divine gate Fairy Tianchu had talked about actually existed.

The gate of light was more and more condensed as a purple light escaped from the gate.

Fairy Tianchu displayed the Luoshui Fist and struck the gate of light again and again, yet she could not get it to full form. Instead, the light from the gate became a little dimmer.

“Let’s strike together, we need to open the gate of light.”

Zhang Ruochen and Li Miaohan rushed to the third divine river and formed a triangle where Fairy Tianchu stood.

Li Miaohan activated her techniques and displayed her sword techniques.

Suddenly, the precepts of heaven and earth were roused, and following the sword technique she displayed, rushed towards the gate of light.

At the same time, Zhang Ruochen deployed Luoshui Fist, and the precepts of heaven and earth he had roused, condensed into a raging river, and crashed against the gate of light like a furious dragon.

BOOM!!

The gate of light was knocked open.

A divine purple light rushed out from the gaze and painted the skies above the Nine Carols Star completely purple.

Zhang Ruochen, Fairy Tianchu, and Li Miaohan, all three of them felt a suffocating force. Standing before that force, the three of them was as insignificant as an ant.

“Let’s go.”

Fairy Tianchu took the lead, and flew up, transforming into a stream of white light, and rushed into the divine gate.

Immediately afterward, Zhang Ruochen and Li Miaohan also flew in and came to the shore of a purple divine sea.

Zhang Ruochen unleashed his spiritual power to search the divine sea.

Suddenly, an even more powerful spiritual power surged back like a roaring tide and shocked Zhang Ruochen so much that he quickly recalled his spiritual powers, and dared not act wilfully. If the spiritual power within him got swept away, then his spiritual attainments of many painstaking years would be gone.

Fairy Tianchu let out a look of joy and said to herself. “Sure enough, the image that appeared in my dreams really does exist.”

Zhang Ruochen paced around the beach, and after many tests, and upon confirming that there was no danger, he stretched his hand out and tested the water.

“Whooosh~”

Suddenly, refreshing energy poured in from his pores into his fingers, and then into his blood vessels and meridians.

At first, Zhang Ruochen was quite cautious, but gradually, he discovered that power was actually strengthening his physical body. The seven acupuncture points on his palm got even brighter, and the power contained within became even stronger.

Moreover, the spiritual power from the purple sea poured into his mind was not trying to consume him, but instead was strengthening his spiritual power.

“Awesome, this is a great opportunity!”

Zhang Ruochen, Fairy Tianchu, and Li Miaohan walked directly into the purple divine sea, the sacred power from the sea continuously poured into their bodies.

After reaching a point about tens of meters deep, most of Zhang Ruochen and Li Miaohan’s body had already sunk into the sea.

If they were to go further on, they would fully be submerged underwater.

On the other hand, Fairy Tianchu still stood on the surface of the water without sinking as she walked towards the center of the divine sea.

“Master.” Li Miaohan whispered.

A misty brilliance appeared in Fairy Tianchu’s eyes, as if she had been called by something, and could not hear Li Miaohan’s voice at all.

The center of the divine sea was shrouded in purple mist.

There were strands of golden brilliance gushing out from the purple mist.

A moment later, Fairy Tianchu’s beautiful figure was swallowed by the purple mist as her figure became fainter and fainter before disappeared completely.

Zhang Ruochen and Li Miaohan wanted to chase after her, but their bodies kept sinking and dared not take a step forward.

Zhang Ruochen showed a thoughtful look and asked. “Is Her Highness a descendant of Luoshen?”

Li Miaohan shook her head and said. “Luoshen had no children but had brothers and sisters. Master was one of the descendants of Luoshen’s elder brother, so their blood relationship was very close.”

“It should be! A great opportunity that can only be obtained by Her Highness, it must have been left behind by Luoshen for her.”

Zhang Ruochen did not have a trace of jealousy and was very calm. Because even in the periphery of the purple divine sea, he could reap huge benefits, and his cultivation base would make rapid progress.

Next, Zhang Ruochen abandoned all distracting thoughts, and activated his Qi techniques, as he practiced the Luoshui Fist.

All 144 acupuncture points across his whole body all opened up, forming into 144 vortexes that continuously absorbed the purple energies within the purple divine sea into his body.

His body felt like a chaotic space, with one hundred and forty-four stars twinkling about.

The precepts of heaven and earth surged into Zhang Ruochen’s body like silk threads and were transformed into saint path precepts, entering his sea of Qi, and to the Heavenly Stream, making it wider and wider.

No one knew how long had passed, but the precepts of heaven and earth rushing into Zhang Ruochen’s body gradually decreased, and finally stopped completely.

Zhang Ruochen opened his eyes and noticed the color surrounding the purple divine sea had become very light.

Looking into the distance, only the central area of the sea was still covered in purple.

“You’re cultivation is done? How was it, how was the harvest?” Li Miaohan stood on the shore and staring at him with a smile.

Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes, and explored his sea of Qi, and found that the number of saint path precepts in it had grown by three million, reaching a total of 6.7 million.

The results were comparable to more than ten years of hard cultivation.

However, the flow rate of the Heavenly Stream did not increase, and from there, it could be judged that Zhang Ruochen had not broken through the realm of the Nine-step Saint King, and fell a little bit short.

The progress of the spiritual power was quite huge, with it reaching the fifty-ninth level. Furthermore, it was not at the initial stage of the fifty-ninth stage and should have reached the intermediate-level of the fifty-ninth stage.

With such powerful spiritual power, even if he were to encounter a spiritual power master like Mister Godcliff launching a spiritual power attack, he would have enough power to protect himself.

The one with an even greater improvement was his body.

Zhang Ruochen’s physical strength had increased by several folds. His every muscle and bone seemed to contain endless power. That made him wonder if he had already forged an immortal saint body in advance? Or if his body had already become a Supreme Saint?

After some verification, Zhang Ruochen discovered that he still had a long way to go before he cultivates an immortal saint body.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen was not disappointed.

If an immortal saint’s body was so easy to form, then the world would be full of Supreme Saint a long time ago.

“If you want your flesh to become a Supreme Saint, all 144 acupuncture points in your body need to be turned into a saint lake. Each acupuncture point is a lake that could provide a steady flow of energy to the flesh.”

“Every acupuncture point in my body is almost like a saint pond. Although it is not comparable to a saint lake, among the beings under a Supreme Saint, I should be ranked within the top level.”

Zhang Ruochen squeezed his and felt confident that he could shatter an elite of the Precept Dominion realm like the Drifter and the Wayfarer with just a fist.

Compared to before entering the divine gate, Zhang Ruochen’s combat power had increased by leaps and bounds.
