Chapter 1226: 80,000-Mile Divine Dream Marsh
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The four-winged silver crane didn’t lie to Zhang Ruochen. It flew speedily for 600 miles and the craggy mountains disappeared, replaced by a misty marsh.
The air here was fresh and the scenery was beautiful. It had a blue sky, white clouds, and looked like a paradise.
The clear rivers stretched for tens of thousands of miles. You couldn’t even see the end. Islands of various sizes dotted the water’s surface.
Zhang Ruochen vaguely felt various strong auras radiating from some of the islands.
He took a deep breath and he had an intoxicated expression. “This is truly a haven for cultivation. No wonder the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan lived here for generations instead of moving to the eastern region.”
“The 80,000-mile Divine Dream Marsh is a fertile land,” Blackie said. “The divine medications and saintly items born here each year surpa.s.s any other land. Countless human and savage beast forces want this land.
“Unfortunately, Divine Dream Marsh intersects with the eastern region and Savage Barren Territory. The geographical location is special. If the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan didn’t have blood of both the human and divine dragons, the human race and beasts would probably have upended this place with war.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded. Clearly, he had some knowledge of Divine Dream Marsh too.
“How will we look for the wormhole? Break into Divine Dream Marsh directly?” Blackie was afraid that Zhang Ruochen would do it forcefully, so he reminded, “They aren’t like other Half Human Clans. They inherited part of the divine dragon’s power, along with some of their techniques and spells. Their heritage is longer than the others. They’re definitely strong. It’s not just a few Saints.”
“I definitely will not do it forcefully.” Zhang Ruochen took out a badge. Holding it up, he said, “With this, I can become a respected guest of the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan.”
The badge had four powerful words—Yin and Yang Sect.
The Yin and Yang Sect were allies with the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan. They often cooperated in strategy and interests.
Soon after Zhang Ruochen entered Divine Dream Marsh, tall waves surged on the river. A surveillance team dressed in armor stopped Zhang Ruochen’s path. There were 20 men riding 20 water beasts.
The man at the front was Ao Zhan. He looked to be around 30 years old. He was the seventh general of the surveillance team.
“Halt. This is the Divine Dream Marsh, only the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan can enter. Humans and savage beasts cannot.”
As the seventh general, Ao Zhan’s cultivation was at the peak of the Ninth Level of the Half-Saint Realm. He had quite a high status in the clan.
Ever since the Dragon Saints came to Divine Dream Marsh, the clan had entered high alert. Ao Zhan personally guarded the entrance. Any creature that entered would be stopped.
Zhang Ruochen was dressed in a robe and looked very calm. He took out the Yin and Yang Sect disciple’s badge. “I am the heir of the Yin and Yang Sect. I came just to visit the Clan Leader.”
Ao Zhan took the badge. After checking it carefully, he confirmed that it was the Yin and Yang Sect disciple’s badge.
When he looked back at Zhang Ruochen, his eyes were much friendlier. More importantly, he couldn’t see Zhang Ruochen’s true form with his cultivation.
This could only mean that Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation far surpa.s.sed him or that he was strong in Spiritual Power.
No matter what, he was definitely an important figure of the Yin and Yang Sect. He was also an esteemed guest of the clan and couldn’t be offended.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t change his appearance. He just shrouded himself in Spiritual Power. Only those stronger than him in Spiritual Power could see his true form.
Ao Zhan smiled. “May I know your name or which Saint you are under?”
“My surname is Zhang. I am an unknown figure. I once studied under the Moon-Burial Sword Saint in the Sword Pavilion for a period.”
Ao Zhan’s expression turned awed. The man spoke humbly, but no one who entered the Sword Pavilion and could study under the Moon-Burial Sword Saint was simple.
“Brother Zhang, welcome.”
The water beast under Ao Zhan’s feet was a Tide Beast. It was a Grade Six upper beast. It was more than 80 meters long and looked like a huge rhinoceros swimming in the water.
Zhang Ruochen flew to the Tide Beast’s back. He stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Ao Zhan and moved to the depths of the Divine Dream Marsh.
Ao Zhan was interested in Zhang Ruochen. Eyes gleaming, he said, “Brother Zhang, if you can cultivate with the Moon-Burial Sword Saint, you must be advanced in the Sword Way, right? Which sword have you reached on the Wordless Sword Manual?”
Zhang Ruochen gazed at the beautiful marsh. Facing the wind with his arms behind his back, he chuckled. “I only studied with the Moon-Burial Sword Saint for a while. I am not his disciple. How can I be advanced in the Sword Way?”
He obviously didn’t dare to speak the truth. Was he supposed to tell Ao Zhan that he’d already completed Sword Six and had studied Sword Seven too?
Ao Zhan was very curious. “Brother Zhang, your cultivation must be advanced, right?” he continued to ask. “How many Pre-Saint Trials have you gone through?”
