Chapter 2455: Perception

The Blood Sprite entered the wormhole. The sleeping Primordial Spatial Worm suddenly opened its colorful eyes and woke up in Zhang Ruochen’s palm.

It rolled around intimately like a silkworm baby. It sent out a stream of spiritual power and said, “Hungry, so hungry. I want to eat. Eat... eat...”

Its voice was child-like.

Zhang Ruochen sighed helplessly. He set up a barrier array in the cabin. Then he mobilized the vast Saint Qi in his body and shot it out from his palm.

The Primordial Spatial Worm greedily absorbed the Saint Qi with the Power of Dimensions.

Zhang Ruochen had used up about 70% of the Saint Qi in his body before it was full.

...

“You’re too gluttonous. How can your tiny body withstand so much Saint Qi?” asked Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen touched the head of the Primordial Spatial Worm with his finger. Smiling, he said, “Your body is full of colors. I’ll call you Little Seven from now on.”

“Yay, Yay, Little... Seven...” said Little Seven.

The Primordial Spatial Worm seemed very excited. It circled around Zhang Ruochen’s finger and finally turned into a seven-colored ring on his index finger.

In the House of Enchanteurs, Zhang Ruochen had devalued the value of the Primordial Spatial Worm’s larvae to tens of thousands of Godstones. In fact, he knew very well that the Primordial Spatial Worm that had absorbed the Rainbow Viburnum had undergone some kind of transformation. Once it grew into an adult, it would definitely be more powerful than divine beasts.

Moreover, most of the Rainbow Viburnum that Little Seven had absorbed was still stored in its body. It would be released gradually as she grew. Her path of growth would be faster and easier than other Primordial Spatial Worms.

Its value should be the both larvae of the Primordial Spatial Worm and the Rainbow Viburnum.

It was priceless.

Zhang Ruochen took out a Godstone and held it between his hands to quickly recover the Saint Qi he had consumed.

Feeding it once consumed 70% of his Saint Qi, which was even more than the amount he had used in the battle with Yan Wushen. He had to cultivate hard, otherwise, he might not be able to feed Little Seven enough in the future.

The wooden staff next to him was the Staff of the Divine Envoy given to him by Moon Goddess. It was made from a branch of the tree god of Guanghan.

In the ruins of the Dragon Temple, this wooden staff had absorbed the spiritual will of the Mojo and condensed a vague Divine Demonic Mark. It emitted evil dark qi all the time.

The entire cabin was filled with black evil qi except where Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged. It was eerie.

The main body of Mojo was the heart of a god who cultivated the Path of Darkness. It was defeated by the combined attacks of Lord of Sword, Lord of Stone, and the Dragon Phantom Lord. Zhang Ruochen had also used the God-Defiance Stele.

The dark god’s heart was sealed at the bottom of the blood sea, inside the Blood Mirror.

The spiritual will of the dark god was suppressed inside the Staff of the Divine Envoy. It had been refined into a Divine Demonic Mark by the spiritual will of Moon Goddess and the tree god.

This time, to disguise himself as an evil master of spiritual power, Zhang Ruochen used the Divine Purification Flame to refine the Staff of the Divine Envoy.

However, the dark god’s spiritual will was still strong. He could not fully control the evil power of the wooden staff.

The Blood Sprite shook violently again, making creaking sounds.

Then, the squeezing Power of Dimensions disappeared. Light and cold qi poured in through the gaps in the window.

Zhang Ruochen held the wooden staff and pushed open the door. He stood by the Blood Sprite’s wood railing and exhaled. Looking down at the endless ice and snow, he smiled. “We’ve finally arrived at Hoth.”

Whoosh Whoosh

The howling wind blew down snowflakes the size of goose feathers, landing on Zhang Ruochen’s head and shoulders.

The sky was no longer a patch of blood light, but a light blue color. Thunder rumbled in the thick clouds. Lightning struck down from the snowy peaks in the distance.

On the vast ice field, a large number of cultivators were gathered. They were preparing to go through the wormhole to the Dominion of the Bloodysky Clan.

Some of them were alone. They had come back from an adventure at the edge of the Infernal Court. Some were in groups. They seemed to be disciples of the same clan. Some of them had a fleet of ships filled with humans, savage beasts, and bloody skeletons.

These humans and savage beasts were the blood food that had been brought back from the various worlds.

ROAR!

The sound of hooves and the howl of wolves resounded through heaven and earth.

An army of the Xue Jue Family rode on white wolves and ice beasts as they patrolled the icy plain, approaching from afar.

The leader, a four-winged Nine-Step Saint King, raised his voice and said, “Pay the passage fee in order. Each cultivator will pay ten saint stones and each ship of blood food will pay fifty saint stones. Illegal immigration is strictly prohibited and those who violate the order will be severely punished.”

No cultivator dared to cause trouble here. In the clouds above the ice field, there was a magnificent hall with a Supreme Saint from the Xue Jue family guarding it.

Anyone who caused trouble would die.

According to the information of Supreme Saint Qingsheng, Zhang Ruochen knew that the Supreme Saint guarding the Frostfield Wormhole was originally the son of Madam Nixuan, Xue Tianyi.

He was the seventh son of the Wargod Bloodximius. He was the younger brother of Lord Ming and the elder brother of Blood Empress.

Xue Tianyi was not only gifted, but he was also a true disciple of the Wargod Bloodximius. He defeated Xue Qingsheng, who was at the Paramount Realm three thousand years ago. He also rose to the Eminence Ranking of the Celestial Palace, and the Tome of the Divines of the Fane of Destiny. He was well-known throughout the Immortal Vampires, not to mention the Bloodysky Clan.

Unfortunately, no matter how powerful he was, he could not control his own destiny if he did not become a god.

After Lord Ming and Blood Empress returned, Xue Tianyi was sent to the Battlefield of Merits by Lord Ming.

No one could defy the will of a god.

Even if he was the son of the Wargod Bloodximius.

The Supreme Saint who was overseeing the Frostfield Wormhole was Xue Qing of the Thousand-Koan Realm.

Supreme Saint Qingsheng reminded him of the information, “Just Blood Qing alone can not guard a wormhole. Madam Nixuan must have sent top-notch powerhouses from the Fane of Asura to guard in the dark. Be careful.”

“According to the information my uncle gave me, Madam Nixuan has operated on Hoth for tens of thousands of years. She has many powerhouses under them. Some are descendants of the Xue Jue family, some are invited from the Fane of Asura, and some are outsiders hired from small clans at the edge of the Infernal Court. There are six Supreme Saints above the Thousand-Koan Realm. The Xue Jue family is not a first-class force on Hoth. From this, it can be seen that this planet is indeed a land full of strong forces. The number of Saint Realm powerhouses is not weaker than a strong realm in the Celestial Court,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen liked this dark place where there were many powerful people. It was a good opportunity to hone his saint techniques and also to grasp the power of the Demigod-level physique faster.

The door of the cabin next to him opened. A Rakshasa Supreme Saint with ten bone wings on his back walked out. The illusion that he used to hide his identity was useless under Zhang Ruochen’s Eye of Truth.

“How could it be him?”

Zhang Ruochen was shocked and quickly looked away.

It was Thandee of the Paarth Family of the Rakshasas.

Zhang Ruochen had seen him in the House of Enchanteurs.

At that time, Thandee went to the Peacock Palace with Lord Huan Xu and Cang Baizi to visit Bai Qing’er.

“Isn’t the owner of that cabin the governor of Ji Feng City? In other words, the governor of Ji Feng City and Thandee are both in the cabin. These two are the top powerhouses among the Supreme Saints. It’s unusual for them to appear at the same time. Moreover, they deliberately hid their identities and hid in an ordinary Blood Sprite. They must have big plans. Are they targeting me?

“No, they couldn’t possibly know that I came to Hoth.”

Zhang Ruochen felt uneasy. He felt that it was abnormal for Thandee to appear here.

“Are they here for the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin and Seven-Armed Elder? That’s not right. They shouldn’t know that the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin and Seven-Armed Elder are with me.”

Zhang Ruochen calmed himself down and pretended to look far away without revealing any flaws.

Thump

Ji Wenwu walked quickly to the side of Thandee and knelt down on one knee. He handed over a Communication talisman and said, “Sir Thandee, the whereabouts of that person have been found.”

Thandee picked up the Communication talisman and looked through it quickly. A cruel smile appeared on his face. He said, “Very good.”

Suddenly, he stopped smiling and looked at Zhang Ruochen, who was not far away. He used the spiritual power of the 62nd level and thought that he had searched Zhang Ruochen’s body silently.

He found that he was only a spiritual power saint king of Level 58. He was not afraid. He withdrew his spiritual power.

Thandee said in a deep voice, “When you come to Hoth, keep everything simple. Don’t shout my identity in front of outsiders.”

“Yes, I understand,” said Ji Wenwu.

Ji Wenwu kneeled on the ground with cold sweat on his face.

Thandee ignored him. He turned around and walked into the cabin with the Communication talisman. Then, his aura had been concealed.

Zhang Ruochen knew that the other party must have set up a powerful array in the cabin.

‘Whose whereabouts are they investigating?’ Zhang Ruochen wondered.

Zhang Ruochen frowned. He was extremely curious, but he did not dare to act rashly. Who knew how many powerful figures were hiding in that cabin?

He would be walking into a trap if he rushed in recklessly.

Thandee only entered the cabin for a moment. Then, he walked out quickly. He spread his ten bone wings and flew up, disappearing into the thick fog. From the beginning to the end, he used the invisibility saint technique. As a result, Ji Wenwu, who was kneeling at the door of the cabin, had no idea that he had left secretly.

Watching Thandee leave, Zhang Ruochen was even more worried.

He wanted to go after Thandee immediately. No matter what the other party’s goal was, he had to take him down first. However, he wanted to break into the cabin and find out who was hiding inside.

When Thandee got the Communication talisman, he entered the cabin first. He must have reported to a cultivator and asked for instructions before he set off.

It was obvious that there was someone more powerful than Thandee in the cabin.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes caught sight of Ji Wenwu who had just stood up. He suddenly had an idea.

Zhang Ruochen used his dry fingers to stroke his long beard. He walked over and said, “Ji Wenwu from the governor’s manor of Ji Feng City?”

Ji Wenwu did not have a good impression of this Master Xun Mu. He snorted and said, “What can I do for you, sir?”

“Nothing. I just remembered that you helped me pay for the passage fee, so I came here to thank you. I Am Xun Mu, a spiritual power cultivator from the Southern Ridge,” said Zhang Ruochen.

A smile appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s wrinkled face.

It looked like a smile, but because of his appearance, the smile was particularly sinister.

“It’s rare that you still remember this,” said Ji Wenwu.

Ji Wenwu thought so in his heart and said, “It’s nothing. You don’t have to take it to heart.”

“I’m not a stingy person. How about this? I don’t have the saint stone with me, so I’ll give you this treasure as a return for your favor.” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen took out a jade stone and handed it to Ji Wenwu.

Ji Wenwu hesitated for a moment and reached out to receive it. The moment their palms touched, Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power surged into his body and rushed into his sea of consciousness.

A moment later, Zhang Ruochen withdrew his spiritual power again. His heart was already filled with an overwhelming shock.

He forcefully controlled his emotions and glanced at the cabin door. He did not dare to show any flaws.

Ji Wenwu’s spiritual power was many times weaker than Zhang Ruochen’s. Naturally, he didn’t know that his sea of consciousness had already been explored by his opponent. He only felt a slight tingling in his palm.

“We have arrived at Hoth. We’ll meet again. Take care!” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen cupped his fists and saluted. Then he flew off from Blood Sprite and landed on the snow-covered plains. He flew west at a low altitude.

Ji Wenwu carefully played with the jade in his hand. He used his blood-red aura and spiritual power to explore it, but he didn’t find anything strange.

There were only two possibilities.

The first possibility was that the old man named Xun Mu was indeed a stingy person. He had taken a worthless jade to trick him.

The second possibility was that the jade that Master Xun Mu had taken out was too precious. With his cultivation, he couldn’t see through it.

“A cultivator with such strong spiritual power would not take out an ordinary jade as a token of appreciation, right?” said Ji Wenwu as shook his head and put away the jade temporarily.

Of course, that jade was not ordinary.

Zhang Ruochen’s Spirit was sealed inside the jade.

As long as the jade was still with Ji Wenwu, Zhang Ruochen would be able to find him and Bai Qing’er.

This mark must not be lost.

He could only fight with Bai Qing’er in the open while he was in the dark. Otherwise, the gap between their cultivation levels was too big. Zhang Ruochen would not be able to fight.

Of course, if the secret of the jade stone was discovered by other cultivators, Zhang Ruochen could destroy the Spirit with a thought and leave no trace.

In Ji Wenwu’s sea of consciousness, Zhang Ruochen did not see Bai Qing’er, but he saw Thandee, Lord Huanxu, and Lord Ironclad.

How could Bai Qing’er not be here when the three Supreme Saints were gathered?

However, Bai Qing’er’s spiritual power was too strong. Even if Ji Wenwu had seen her, he could not remember her.

Zhang Ruochen was secretly glad that he did not break into the cabin. Otherwise, he would most likely die there under the siege of so many powerful people. Even with the help of the power of the Qiankun Realm and Intergold Tiger, there was no way he could survive.

Although Intergold Tiger was powerful, it was not recognized by the precepts of heaven and earth. Once it used too much power, it would be killed by the precepts of heaven and earth before killing the enemy.

On Hoth, it was not like in the Divine Domain of Destiny.

In the Divine Domain of Destiny, cultivators who wanted to kill Zhang Ruochen were afraid of being avenged by the gods of the Xue Jue family. They were also afraid of alerting the Divine Domain of Destiny, so they were more or less bound.

Here, even if they killed Zhang Ruochen, they had 100 ways to destroy the body and the evidence, so that even the god could not find the result.

Of course, the desperate situation would only appear when they were surrounded.

If they weren’t surrounded, Zhang Ruochen was confident that he could escape with the speed of the Intergold Tiger and Zhang Ruochen’s Power of Time and Dimension, no matter how strong Bai Qing’er was or how many powerhouses she led.

Being surrounded and not being surrounded were the difference between life and death for all the Supreme Saints.

“Why would Bai Qing’er appear on Hoth just to capture Lord Xia Yu? No, capturing Lord Xia Yu using Thandee is enough. There’s no need to bring so many powerful figures here.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t have time to think. After flying for about 2,000 kilometers, he immediately changed his direction and flew at full speed to chase after Thandee.

At the same time, he carved a Communication Talisman and sent it to Lord Xia Yu.

“Bai Qing’er, if you want to deal with my people, I will make you pay with one powerful figure first.”
