Chapter 2174: The Celestial Court’s Most Beautiful Woman

After some time, Zhang Ruochen successfully arrived at the Celestial Domain of Truth via the dimensional teleportation array in the Grand Terminal of Merits.

The Celestial Domain of Truth was always very lively at any time. It brought together saints, Supreme Saints, and even gods from all realms who came to comprehend the Path of Truth.

With the Path of Truth’s boon, it could increase the battle strength of gods. It was also very helpful for comprehending other Paths.

Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation was not very strong when he left the Celestial Domain of Truth. He was only a Five-step Saint King. But now, he was already standing at the pinnacle of the Saint King realm. His name was heard throughout the Celestial and Infernal Court.

Zhang Ruochen rushed back to the Celestial Domain of Truth to cross the Sea of Truth this time because he wished to obtain more Canons of Truth.

Only in this way could he make a big breakthrough in his strength in a short time and fight Yan Wushen to the death.

Once Yan Wushen merged both his good and evil counterparts, his strength would inevitably be increased. Zhang Ruochen knew very well that even if he relied on the Ying and Yang Sword Formation, he might be unable to deal with Yan Wushen.

Zhang Ruochen was confident that if given enough time like Yan Wushen, he could improve his Precepts to a hundred million, and cultivate multiple Paths to great perfection.

Zhang Ruochen had never lacked self-confidence.

However, the biggest problem was he didn’t have that much time. He couldn’t accumulate it slowly, so he had to find another way.

Without much delay, Zhang Ruochen rushed straight to the Sea of truth.

There were many cultivators on the shore of the Sea of Truth as in the past. They all came to get more time to cultivate in the Fane of Truth by crossing the sea.

Speaking of which, Zhang Ruochen had been given four years to cultivate in the Fane of Truth after he crossed the fifth and sixth regions of the sea. However, because of the changes in Kunlun, he had been unable to make use of it.

However, if he wanted to cultivate in the Fane of Truth for four years, it would be impossible for him to reach his current state. No matter how fast he cultivated.

While standing on the shore, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were fixed on a pitch-black saint mountain beyond the ten regions of the sea. It was the Mountain of Truth that countless cultivators yearned for, and it was also the goal of his trip.

‘What secrets did the Mountain of Truth hide? What rewards will the Fane of Truth bestow?’ Zhang Ruochen was filled with curiosity.

If he wanted to figure out these things, he would have to climb the Mountain of Truth himself.

But he understood it wasn’t easy to climb the Mountain of Truth. Only thirteen Supreme Saints had succeeded, while none of the Saint Kings had.

If not for this, the Fane of Truth would not have specifically issued an oracle. Those Saint Kings who had climbed the Mountain of Truth will be awarded a prize that even the gods would be jealous of.

“Hmm? Someone is in the ninth region of the sea.”

Zhang Ruochen looked surprised.

The ninth region of the sea was no small matter and those who could enter must be truly outstanding.

At this moment, an angelic powerhouse was crossing the ninth region of the sea. His wings were different from ordinary angels and were platinum in color. There were countless Precepts of Light entwined on them, blooming with incomparably bright and sacred light.

“It’s Archangel Michael.”

Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes and smiled.

He had long heard of the true leader of the Heavenly Realm. It was a pity that he never had the chance to meet him. He had never expected to meet him by accident when he came to the Celestial Domain of Truth.

‘Archangel Michael had always seemed so mysterious all along that few people knew about him.’

While Zhang Ruochen was thinking, Archangel Michael performed an exquisite saint technique of light. He shattered the gatekeepers of the ninth region into pieces and entered the tenth region of the sea.

“For someone who is not a disciple of the Fane of Truth, Archangel Michael is indeed powerful and only he could cross the ninth region.”

“Not only that, but Archangel Michael has also condensed the Realm-frame of Truth on his own. He is so powerful that even Zhang Ruochen can’t compare with him.”

“Just his attainments in the Path of Truth alone—let alone Zhang Ruochen—not even the Ten Divine Scions of the Fane of Truth can compare with Archangel Michael. Perhaps Archangel Michael can create miracles by crossing the tenth region of the sea, and become a legend.”

…

On the shore, many cultivators were very excited. They were admiring Archangel Michael.

Two streaks of light rushed out of the Fane of Truth and they arrived at the shore of the Sea of Truth instantly. They also cast their eyes on the Boat of Truth, which was struggling in the golden sea.

One of them was Nie Xiangzi, who was known as the Starcaptor.

After being defeated by Lord Xue Chen outside the imperial city, Nie Xiangzi returned to the Fane of Truth. He wanted to increase his strength in a short period.

The other person was 180 centimeters tall and handsome. He wore a celestial-crane blue sky robe, with a piece of azure sacred jade hung on his waist, and held a jade folding fan. A gentle and elegant aura exuded from his body.

His name was Dongfang Qingyu and he was also one of the Ten Divine Scions of the Fane of Truth from the Heavenly Realm.

Nie Xiangzi said lightly, “Those of you from the Heavenly Realm are very impressive. You helped Archangel Michael obtain the secrets of executing a form of the Realm-frame of Truth—’Lands Down Below’.”

Although the ‘Lands Down Below’ was not the top form, it was not for everyone. Even the Divine Scions of the Fane of Truth had very little success in executing it.

“You seemed to be a little upset about it?” Dongfang Qingyu asked with a smile.

Nie Xiangzi said, “I just don’t like the behavior of breaking the rules.”

“These things are decided by the gods. Why do we have to worry about it?” Dongfang Qingyu said.

Nie Xiangzi did not say anything else. He only locked his gaze on Archangel Michael. Thinking how far Archangel Michael could travel in the tenth region of the sea.

The farthest distance a Saint King traveled in the tenth region so far was six kilometers and it was Nie Xiangzi who did it.

The other two Divine Scions that had crossed the ninth region were Thousand-winged Silver Dragon and Dongfang Qingyu.

It was only recently Dongfang Qingyu was able to cross it. After entering the tenth region, he had only traveled half a kilometer.

Archangel Michael fell into the golden sea not long after. He was stronger than Dongfang Qingyu and had traveled one and a half kilometers in the tenth region of the sea.

When Archangel Michael returned to the shore, many cultivators immediately surrounded him. They said all kinds of flattering words as if they were about to worship him.

Just as Archangel Michael was about to leave, he turned his gaze and looked at Zhang Ruochen.

“Zhang Ruochen.”

Archangel Michael was also surprised to meet Zhang Ruochen in the Celestial Domain of Truth.

One of the reasons why Archangel Michael came to the Celestial Domain of Truth to cultivate was because Zhang Ruochen had fought with a group of top powerhouses of the Infernal Court outside the Central Imperial City.

Seeing Zhang Ruochen’s terrifying battle strength made him feel great pressure.

Following the gaze of Archangel Michael, many cultivators were surprised when they noticed Zhang Ruochen was here.

“Zhang Ruochen came to the Celestial Domain of Truth. Did he plan to cross the Sea of Truth as well?”

For a moment, most cultivators turned their attention to Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help it as he was now a famous figure. His every move would draw everyone’s attention.

Soon, the news of Zhang Ruochen’s appearance in the Sea of Truth spread at an astonishing speed.

Many were interested to meet Zhang Ruochen rushed from the Celestial Domain of Truth to the Sea of Truth at the fastest speed.

“Brother, it’s you.”

Suddenly, a pleasantly surprised voice sounded.

As soon as Zhang Ruochen turned around, he was given a big bear hug by a burly dark figure.

Other than Xiang Chunan, no other man would be so enthusiastic to Zhang Ruochen.

Such intimacy…

Others would easily be misunderstood!

Zhang Ruochen smiled and patted Xiang Chunan. He looked at the two people who had arrived with him. One of them was Feng Yan.

The other person was very unfamiliar but also very eye-catching.

This person had very interesting features. He was extremely burly, with a waist thicker than a bucket, legs as thick as a plate. He had dark skin, a short neck, and a huge face with thick lips and protruding ears. His body exuded a strong, masculine aura. He was even more manly than a man, except that he was a woman.

Zhang Ruochen suddenly thought of something when he saw this woman.

Xiang Chunan let go of Zhang Ruochen. He smiled and said, “Brother, I was thinking of going to the Central Imperial City to look for you with Feng Yuan after crossing the Sea of Truth. We didn’t expect to bump into you in the Celestial Domain of Truth. Our bond as brothers was so great that our hearts thought the same thing. Hahaha.”

“By the way, brother, let me introduce you. Qing Sixue was the junior sister I mentioned to you before. What do you think? Is she the most beautiful woman in the Celestial Court?”

Xiang Chunan stared at Zhang Ruochen with anticipation, as if he wanted his approval.

‘The number one beauty of the Celestial Court?’

Zhang Ruochen coughed dryly. As he had guessed, this burly and strong woman was the junior sister that Xiang Chunan had been dreaming about.

After all, the very image of this woman in front of him was exactly what Xiang Chunan had described.

Among the women Zhang Ruochen had seen, only Gai Tianjiao could be compared… with her beauty…

Such a strong figure was unassociated with the name ‘Qing Sixue’ no matter what.

Zhang Ruochen touched the tip of his nose and said, “Well, she’s unusually beautiful indeed. Chunan, you are blessed.”

He had long known Xiang Chunan’s standards for beauty and naturally he would not speak carelessly at this time. As long as Xiang Chunan liked it, he did not need to care about what others thought.

“Hahaha, I knew it, brother. Surely you also know how to appreciate beauty,” Xiang Chunan said.

After a pause, Xiang Chunan turned to Qing Sixue and said, “Sixue, this is my sworn brother, the top elite among Celestial and Infernal Court cultivators with rank below Supreme Sainthood.”
