1535 Six Spots (2/2)
”There really is a saint source.”
”With the help of a saint source, I should be able to reach the Saint Realm in ten years.”
Seeing how happy they all were, Zhang Ruochen was genuinely happy too. He needed a group of cultivators who were truly willing to fight alongside him, instead of being forced to join the Sacred Central Empire.
Even though he'd given the Moon Goddess one million saint sources, he still had around 100,000.
These saint sources were enough for him to train a strong saint army that could strengthen gradually. In the future, he could lead them and fight against Chi Yao's First Central Empire army. They could even step onto the battleground and fight with the Hell World.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen smelled a familiar fragrance.
When he turned around, he saw Mu Lingxi's beautiful figure. She stood outside the pavilion like a fairy who'd come out of a painting.
After receiving the Ice and Fire Phoenix's heritage, her Ice Phoenix bloodline was completely awoken. Her skin was translucent like spiritual jade and her wings shone with a dozen kinds of light. Her phoenix eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky.
After becoming the Moon Goddess's disciple, Mu Lingxi had obvious changes. Her aura became similar to the Moon Goddess, more divine and less worldly. But when she met eyes with Zhang Ruochen, she still had that lovely smile.
”So beautiful. Only the little Saintess's features match the Crown Prince.”
”She's the god's disciple now. I heard that even a lot of Half-Saints from Guanghan Field say she's the top beauty of Guanghan Field. They call her Fairy Lingxi.”
The Half-Saints who'd wanted to follow Zhang Ruochen and be his servant sighed softly. They felt like dust compared to Mu Lingxi.
Mu Lingxi was smiling, but there was annoyance in her eyes. ”You insisted on leaving me with the Moon Goddess, but you didn't think I'd come back so shamelessly, right?”
”This is your home. You can come back at any time.”
Zhang Ruochen walked over and stood across from Mu Lingxi. The two bathed in divine light and stared at each other. They looked like a perfect pair.
A clapping sounded.
Wu Hao walked out of the pavilion, clapping. ”The priest is indeed generous. You give out hundreds of saint sources like this. Even I want to join the Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land.”
Zhang Ruochen quickly looked away from Mu Lingxi. Chuckling, he said, ”Oh, the Heir is here too? Come, let's go talk inside.”
After entering the pavilion, Zhang Ruochen realized that Wu Hao wasn't the only one who'd come. Su Qingling, Wen Shucheng, and Ling Mi had also come. They were all top prides of Guanghan Field.
In addition, there were two Saint Kings. They were both first step Saint Kings and seemed ancient but had strong auras.
The two had already accumulated a lot in the first step Saint King Realm. The people who'd just reached the first step couldn't compare to them.
”Everyone has gone through life-or-death experiences together during this Saints Merits Battle,” Zhang Ruochen said. ”We've also had great rewards and should all be trying to reach the Saint King Realm. So, you didn't come to the Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land just to reminisce with me, right?”
Wu Hao was straightforward too and revealed his reason for coming. ”The priest is extremely intelligent and quickly guessed our intent. Indeed, this is still related to the merits battle.”
”Oh?”
”Many cultivators of Guanghan Field bravely killed enemies,” Wu Hao said. ”They collected many merits and contributed greatly to the Heaven World. Thus, the Truth Godly Palace has sent a god's decree to reward Guanghan Field six spots to cultivate there. This is a rare opportunity.”
”Six spots for the Truth Godly Palace?”
Zhang Ruochen was tempted.
After all, the Way of Truth was one of the nine ancient ways.
Clearly, you had to go to the Truth Godly Palace to study the most orthodox Way of Truth.
The cultivation spots were extremely precious.
Usually, Guanghan Field only had three spots every decade.
It was because Guanghan Field had sacrificed too much in Zuling Field that the Truth Godly Palace gave them six spots as a reward.
”Perhaps you aren't as familiar with how precious the Way of Truth is,” Wu Hao said. ”However, I was lucky enough to have gone to the Truth Godly Palace once and comprehended some basics of the Rules of Truth. How about we have a battle? I'll also use the Way of Truth while fighting so you can have a more direct feeling.”
”You're challenging me?”
Even though Wu Hao made it sound casual, Zhang Ruochen could sense the competition.
After all, Zhang Ruochen had been too dramatic on the merits battleground and stole the Heir's spotlight. Now, Zhang Ruochen's fame in Guanghan Field had probably surpassed Wu Hao.
It was normal that he wanted to challenge Zhang Ruochen.
