Chapter 2141 - The Honor of the Eastern Region
Chapter 2141: The Honor of the Eastern Region
Zhang Ruochen made a move and sealed Luo Sha once more. He handed her over to Moyin and the Azure Dragon and guarded her tightly, waiting for the Rakshasa to respond.
Zhang Ruochen had Moyin search Luo Sha’s body and found all the hidden treasures to prevent any more accidents.
As the Rakshasa Princess, Luo Sha had countless treasures with her. Many Supreme Saints could not compare to her.
With these treasures, even a top-notch cultivator below the first level of the Supreme Saint might not be able to defeat her. Unfortunately, Luo Sha had met her nemesis this time. No matter how many trump cards she had, they would not work.
Sensing that someone was coming, Zhang Ruochen walked out of the dilapidated hall. Then, a tall and graceful figure caught his sight.
Every time he saw Fairy Tianchu, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes would light up. He would be unconsciously attracted by her beautiful face and saint temperament.
“I’m sorry for making a mess of Nine Carols Star,” Zhang Ruochen said apologetically.
Fairy Tianchu said, “No worries. The Nine Carols Star is protected by the Goddess of Luoshui’s divine force. Even if it is damaged, it can recover quickly.
“Besides that, congratulations on completing the cultivation of Sword Path. It seems that your injury has healed.”
Recently, she had been guarding outside the training manor to protect Zhang Ruochen. She had never thought that Zhang Ruochen would come out of seclusion in this way.
“A small epiphany after healing is not worth mentioning.”
Zhang Ruochen had planned to cultivate Sword Ten to a higher level. It was entirely a surprise that the Precepts of Swordsmanship reached a million.
There were many geniuses in the world. There was no lack of people who could cultivate a certain kind of Path to the maximum. Only one Precept was needed to complete it. However, there were not many people who could actually cross it.
People like Zhang Ruochen who had cultivated for a short time and reached the completion of Sword Path were beyond common sense.
Fairy Tianchu lifted her head and looked at the vast sky. Her eyes were deeply immersed and calm. In a gentle voice, she said, “Will you walk with me on the Nine Carols Star?”
“Sure,” Zhang Ruochen replied immediately.
Zhang Ruochen put down all the things he was dealing with and walked side by side with Fairy Tianchu. They walked along the ancient stone path, breathing in the faint fragrance of the air. His state of mind gradually calmed down.
Compared to the previous meetings, this time, Zhang Ruochen and Fairy Tianchu were clearly much closer. They spoke more to each other.
Unknowingly, Zhang Ruochen’s heart had gradually opened up and he was closer to Fairy Tianchu.
There were many cultivators of the Tianchu Civilization on the Nine Carols Star. Zhang Ruochen and Fairy Tianchu strolled leisurely, attracting many people’s attention.
One was imposing, while the other was incredibly beautiful. Walking together, they were like a pair of an immortal couples. It was enviable.
“I’ve never seen Her Highness and being so close with a man. It seems that Zhang Ruochen has a chance to be the Prince Consort of our Tianchu Civilization,” the Butcher analyzed seriously.
The Fool laughed. “Only a heaven-chosen figure like Zhang Ruochen is worthy of the Her Highness. However, if those who pursue Her Highness know this fact, I wonder what will be the looks on their face.”
“So what if they knew? Who can compare to Zhang Ruochen? Her Highness is destined to take over the position of Tianzhu in the future. Ordinary people aren’t qualified to be her husband,” the Butcher snorted.
Obviously, the Butcher and the Fool were happy to see Fairy Tianchu and Zhang Ruochen tieing the knot.
With Zhang Ruochen’s great strength, Tianchu Civilization would be willing to accept him even if he had provoked many powerful enemies.
After all, Tianchu Civilization was strong and had never been afraid of anyone.
Standing in front of a divine river, Zhang Ruochen took out a brocade box and said softly, “There is a Supreme Saint Fruit in it. If you refine it, you will soon reach the pinnacles of the Saint King realm. When you break through to the Supreme Saint realm, your cultivation will be much easier.”
“Why do you have a Supreme Saint Fruit?” Fairy Tianchu’s eyes showed surprise.
Zhang Ruochen said, “You needn’t know about its origin. Just refine it.”
Hearing this, Fairy Tianchu couldn’t help but look at Zhang Ruochen for a moment. Then she reached out and took the brocade box.
As the fairy of Tianchu Civilization, she knew what the Supreme Saint Fruit was. The fruit could only be condensed after a Supreme Saint buried in a special place for tens of thousands of years. It had all sorts of incredible uses. It was more precious than the Sainthood Source of the Supreme Saint.
Through the brocade box, she could sense that the Supreme Saint Fruit in the box was not simple. It must have condensed the essence and inheritance of an extremely powerful Supreme Saint.
Fairy Tianchu’s cultivation was not weak either. After receiving the inheritance from the Goddess of Luoshui, she had already cultivated to Heaven’s Reach realm. It was only a matter of time before she broke through to the Precept Dominion realm with her talent.
Now that she had the Supreme Saint Fruit, it would be undoubtedly much easier.
Of course, how many Precepts she could cultivate in the Saint King realm depended on her talent and potential.
“Thank you,” Fairy Tianchu said.
Zhang Ruochen chuckled. “Humbleness is not necessary between us.”
Hearing this, Fairy Tianchu couldn’t help but smile. She hadn’t expected Zhang Ruochen to say the exact same thing.
But this was undoubtedly a good thing. It meant that the distance between them was much closer.
Fairy Tianchu stared at Zhang Ruochen’s eyes closely. Her red lips moved slightly.
“Do you have anything to say?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Fairy Tianchu shook her head slightly.
In fact, Fairy Tianchu had wanted to remind Zhang Ruochen that the hostile aura from his body was getting heavier. His state of mind had also changed greatly. He seemed to be in a state of going berserk.
However, Fairy Tianchu restrained herself when the words were about to come out of her mouth.
Should Fairy Tianchu persuade Zhang Ruochen to stop killing? That seemed impossible.
Perhaps Fairy Tianchu would also go berserk and would not restrain the killing intent in her heart if what happened in Kunlun Realm happened in the Tianchu Civilization.
After a long while, Fairy Tianchu said, “I know that because of the great pressure from the outside world, you will do whatever it takes to become stronger. However, cultivation should be gradual. If you act too hastily, your state of mind will lack stability, leading to unpredictable consequences.”
“I’ll bear in mind about it!” Zhang Ruochen said.
For the next ten days, Zhang Ruochen and Fairy Tianchu were together. They chatted and strolled, talked about the comprehension of the fist technique, or discussed the improvement of the state of mind and self-cultivate. They were inseparable. Many cultivators of the Tianchu Civilization stared at them blankly.
Ten days later, Fairy Tianchu entered the golden divine gate and began to seclude herself for cultivation.
Zhang Ruochen left Luoshui along with Moyin and the Azure Dragon.
The Rakshasa had already given an answer. They were willing to trade the Saint Ancient Tea Tree for Luo Sha.
Only that Zhang Ruochen had been with Fairy Tianchu all this while and didn’t ask about it.
There was no need to be too anxious about this. As long as Luo Sha was in his hands, Zhang Ruochen could perform the exchange at any time.
In addition, the Saint Ancient Tea Tree was already in the hands of the Rakshasa. Even if he could take it back, he had to prevent the Rakshasa from tampering with it.
To be on the safe side, he had to find someone very familiar with the Saint Ancient Tea Tree to do this.
Zhang Ruochen sent a message to Divine Scripture Maiden.
Divine Scripture Maiden quickly responded. She only needed to use a Confucian Sect’s treasure to verify it.
Divine Scripture Maiden sent another message after a while, which made Zhang Ruochen very happy. It was that Luo Xu had reappeared. He would come to the Eastern Region Holy City with the Light Myriad Scroll to meet him.
Because of this, Zhang Ruochen chose to leave Luoshui and return to the Eastern Region Holy City.
With the stability of the Eastern Region Holy City, it was the most suitable place to conduct the exchange with the Rakshasa.
After a period of recuperation, Jiang Yunchong had almost recovered. Zhang Ruochen released him from the microworld’s forest and went on the road with him.
Although Luoshui was very far from the Eastern Region Holy City, with Zhang Ruochen’s current dimensional attainments, he did not break a sweat to rush there.
Previously, when Zhang Ruochen was comprehending the sword technique at Nine Carols Star. Not only he had cultivated the Sword path to completion but also greatly improved the Path of Dimension. After all, the key to comprehending the sixth level of Sword Ten was dimension.
The Eastern Region Holy City was very special. Although it was called the Holy City, it was actually a precious star with a diameter of more than 10,000 miles. In ancient times, it descended from the sky and stood on the land of the Eastern Region.
Even before Kunlun Realm was revived, the cultivation environment of the Eastern Region Holy City was excellent. It produced many spiritual crystals, saint stones, and all kinds of refining materials.
After Kunlun Realm was revived, the Eastern Region Holy City was able to produce a 100,000-year-old ancient sacred medicine every day. It attracted many powerhouses from the Celestial Court and Infernal Court to compete for it.
Unfortunately, Kunlun Realm lacked top-notch powerhouses, so most of the 100,000-year-old sacred medicine was obtained by powerhouses from Celestial Court and Infernal Court.
Otherwise, with so many cultivation resources, Kunlun Realm’s strength would have increased by a lot.
Because of Yan Wushen’s attack, the Eastern Region Holy City was already in a state of high alert. The border check for the eight ferries was much stricter than in the past.
Because of this, many Saint-level cultivators who wanted to enter the Eastern Region Holy City were very dissatisfied.
If the ancient inscriptions of the Eastern Region Holy City hadn’t been repaired and the protection hadn’t increased, these people wouldn’t have registered at all. Instead, they’d forced their way in.
Zhang Ruochen had arrived at the Tiankun Crossing, one of the eight crossings, after a while.
It was as lively as the last time he was here. A large number of Saint-level cultivators were coming and going at all times. The White Dragon Ferry wasn’t enough, so there was a long queue.
“I’m from the Cloudthunder Realm and a direct descendant of the Thunder Clan. Arrange the White Dragon Ferry immediately and let me enter Eastern Region Holy City.”
“How dare you make me wait here for so long? Do you think that I’ll not destroy the Tiankun Ferry?”
“It’s so troublesome every time we enter the city. How do the cultivators of Kunlun Realm do their job here?”
…
Before they actually arrived at the Tiankun Crossing, Zhang Ruochen heard many impatient voices.
Kunlun Realm’s cultivators in charge of registration all broke out in cold sweat and trembled with fear, faced with the terrifying pressure from so many Saint-level cultivators.
Swoosh
A silver-haired Saint King took action and lifted a half-saint of Kunlun Realm who was in charge of registration. It was as if he was lifting a chick.
“Do you take my words for granted? You have delayed my important matters. Ten deaths are not enough to atone for your sins,” the silver-haired Saint King shouted coldly.
This person dared to attack at the ferry. He could be said to be extremely overbearing.
However, at this moment, the silver-haired Saint King suddenly felt his hair stand on end. He felt a huge threat.
His eyes moved. The silver-haired Saint King quickly locked onto the source of the threat.
“Zhang… Zhang Ruochen.”
The silver-haired Saint King opened his eyes wide. His eyes were filled with fear.
All the cultivators gathered at the Tiankun Crossing couldn’t help but look in the same direction.
As the saying goes, the more fearful a person’s name, the more protection you could get.
Not long ago, Zhang Ruochen had fought with Nether Demon and Nether Buddha in Luoshui, and then he had defeated Yan Wushen. His battle was glorious. Who wouldn’t be afraid?
Seeing Zhang Ruochen walk over, everyone quickly parted to make way for him. No one dared to stop him.
With Zhang Ruochen’s strength, he could probably kill all of them with a flick of his finger.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was getting closer and closer to him, the silver-haired Saint King could not help but become more nervous. He quickly put down the half-saint of Kunlun Realm in his hand.
Zhang Ruochen appeared very calm. He walked forward slowly but did not even glance at silver-haired Saint King.
Zhang Ruochen said calmly, “From this day forth, only 800 non-cultivators of Kunlun Realm will enter Eastern Region Holy City every day. There will be 100 quotas for each crossing. This is a ban from me, Zhang Ruochen, and I will not repeat it again.”
His voice was very soft, but it clearly entered everyone’s ears.
“What right do you have to restrict us from entering Eastern Region Holy City?” A cultivator immediately questioned.
Zhang Ruochen turned his gaze and said forcefully, “I am the Prince of the Eastern Region, everything in the Eastern Region is under my ruling.”
Now that Zhang Ruochen was powerful enough, he should really take on the responsibility of the Prince of the Eastern Region.
Especially now that Zhang Ruochen was in the limelight and everyone was afraid of him, he could take the opportunity to make some rules.
“Zhang Ruochen, you are too overbearing. The Eastern Region Holy City is not entirely yours.”
“Don’t go too far in everything. If you offend the public, you, Zhang Ruochen, can not bear it.”
“We must enter the Eastern Region Holy City. Do you really think you could stop us?”
…
Many cultivators spoke with dissatisfaction.
There were many opportunities in the Eastern Region Holy City. There was sacred medicine everywhere. How could they give up?
Many of them had great origins. Even though Zhang Ruochen was in the limelight, they weren’t afraid.
The Celestial Palace had already issued a rule forbidding internal strife. No matter how strong Zhang Ruochen was, he had to abide by it. Otherwise, he would be severely punished by the Celestial Palace.
Zhang Ruochen said, “You think there are too few spots, right? Then I’ll give you a chance. As long as you pay 10,000 Saint Stones, you can also enter Eastern Region Holy City.”
Hearing this, many cultivators became even more agitated.
As Saint-level cultivators, they indeed didn’t lack saint stones. Taking out 10,000 was nothing to them.
But with their status, how could they be willing to be subject to such rules?
Not to mention 10,000 saint stones, they would not even be willing to give one.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen set the rules so forcefully, the cultivators of Kunlun Realm were very excited. They had long been fed up with the bossy outsiders, but they did not have enough strength. No matter how unwilling they were, they could only endure it.
Zhang Ruochen did not care about the opposing voices. He told the Azure Dragon, “Azure, you are in charge. Anyone who dares to cause trouble, suppress them, and they are not allowed to enter Eastern Region Holy City again.”
“Yes, Master.”
The Azure Dragon immediately bowed and accepted the order.
Then, the Azure Dragon swept a disdainful gaze across everyone present. His body emitted vast dragon might.
Many cultivators stepped back. Their eyes were filled with fear.
They naturally recognized the Azure Dragon. They knew that he had the strength of the first level below the Supreme Saint. He could suppress the heavily injured Great Prince Mara.
Many people realized that Zhang Ruochen wasn’t joking. He really wanted to set a rule and announce his dominance in the Eastern Region.
It was impossible for cultivators from each of Celestial Court’s realm to wantonly seize the sacred medicine born in the Eastern Region Holy City.
…
The powerhouses of the Middle Ages gradually woke up. Would Zhang Ruochen’s leadership in Kunlun Realm be replaced?
