Chapter 1226 - 80,000-Mile Divine Dream Marsh (2/2)
Zhang Ruochen didn’t avoid the question this time. “I just went through the third trial,” he answered honestly.
Ao Zhan was envious. He looked at Zhang Ruochen differently now. There was more reverence.
If one could go through three Pre-Saint Trials, he would definitely be able to become a Saint. A Saint and Half-Saint’s difference was like an emperor and the court officials. It was a dramatic difference.
Ao Zhan was much more careful when he continued to speak to Zhang Ruochen. He didn’t dare be as casual as before.
Along the way, Zhang Ruochen saw many guards and pa.s.sed by many defensive formations. Each time, Ao Zhan had to show himself so the other party would let them pa.s.s.
Zhang Ruochen grew doubtful, but he purposely looked casual. Smiling, he asked, “Is the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan always so heavily guarded?”
“No,” Ao Zhan said. “It’s just, recently…” Here, he paused before continuing. “Recently, the Savage Barren Territory’s chaos has become fiercer and fiercer. We naturally need to be cautious too.”
Zhang Ruochen could tell that Ao Zhan wasn’t speaking the truth, but he didn’t press. He closed his eyes and continued to heal.
Just before entering the Divine Dream Marsh, Blackie’s Spring Pills had come out of the furnace. There were 12 pills.
Zhang Ruochen ingested one and refined it while traveling. Now, he was mostly recovered.
The Spring Pill is indeed miraculous, he thought. No wonder it’s a healing Divine Pill. Sometimes, a Spring Pill is worth a life.
The Tide Beast was very fast. In four hours, it brought Zhang Ruochen and Ao Zhan to a large island in the heart of the Divine Dream Marsh.
This island was incredibly large. It had 2,000 miles of coastline. It was shrouded in white clouds and gave off a mysterious feeling.
More than half of the clan lived on this island. After reaching Dragon Spirit Island, Zhang Ruochen and Ao Zhan quickly arrived at the Divine Dragon Pavilion. They went straight in.
Zhang Ruochen was a Third Trial Pre-Saint and had studied with the Moon-Burial Sword Saint. He was definitely a powerful figure of the Yin and Yang Sect. The Clan Leader naturally had to welcome him personally.
Zhang Ruochen bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Clan Leader.”
Ao Yi studied the young man from the Yin and Yang Sect. It felt like he had a thin layer of mist shrouding him. Ao Yi couldn’t see his features even after using a Saintly Look.
“What a powerful young man. You must be a Spiritual Power Saint instead of some Third Trial Pre-Saint.” Ao Yi’s voice turned colder. “The Yin and Yang Sect only has a few Spiritual Power Saints and I know them all. You are not one of them.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled calmly. “The Yin and Yang Sect has such a rich heritage. Even the Saints of the sect do not know how many strong cultivators there are. How are you sure that I am not one of the Spiritual Power Saints?”
“Why did you claim that you’re a Third Trial Pre-Saint?” Ao Yi asked. “And you claimed that you studied with the Moon-Burial Sword Saint? Isn’t that contradictory?”
“It is not contradictory. In addition to being a Spiritual Power Saint, I’m also a Third Trial Pre-Saint and swordsman.”
He put his fingers together, forming a sword technique.
Whoos.h.!.+
Thousands of beams of Sword Qi instantly appeared in the pavilion. They whizzed around Zhang Ruochen.
So powerful, Ao Yi couldn’t help but praise, even with his mindset and cultivation.
This man was so young but already so advanced in Spiritual Power and the Sword Way. He was definitely the secret heir of the Yin and Yang Sect.
Amazing, truly amazing.
“Why did you come to visit me in the Divine Dream Marsh?” Ao Yi asked.
Before Zhang Ruochen could reply, Ao Zhan ran into the pavilion. He looked anxious. “Clan Leader, the two Dragon Saints went to Heart Moon Lake to see Princess Yan, but they were refused. Now, they actually want to break in. We can’t stop them. Even the general was injured by them.”
“How dare they! What are they doing? Forcefully arresting someone?” Ao Yi’s anger burst out completely. “Stay to welcome the guest. I will visit Heart Moon Lake personally.”
Roar!
Ao Yi transformed into a huge dragon. He charged off of his throne and left the pavilion.
“Princess Yan…” Zhang Ruochen murmured to himself. Then he asked, “General Ao Zhan, what happened? What Dragon Saints?”
Since Ao Zhan had already leaked the information, he didn’t keep hiding it. He told Zhang Ruochen about the Dragon Saints. After all, the Yin and Yang Sect were reliable allies. They weren’t outsiders.
