Chapter 1637 - Receiving Mysteries of Truth Again (1/2)

Ten Truth Boats were in a row. Soon, with Thousand Star Maiden, Feng Yan, and Blue Fang at the lead, they rushed out.

For strong cultivators at their level, the first level didn’t pose any difficulty. They controlled the Truth Boat steadily and shot out like an arrow.

Only Xiang Chunan, who was crossing the Ocean of Truth for the first time, was still spinning in place, sweating in panic.

It was Zhang Ruochen’s second time and he didn’t go too quickly. Instead, he took in the process closely.

Compared to the first time, it’s clearly harder. Maybe it’s because I reached the Saint King Realm, so the Ocean of Truth automatically raised its difficulty level.

Even though it was harder, Zhang Ruochen had improved more.

He stood at the fore and controlled the boat with his Spiritual Power. The boat cruised forward with a steady speed.

When he reached the first level’s pa.s.s, Thousand Star Maiden, Feng Yan, and Blue Fang had already defeated the guardian and broke through.

The curtain of light before him shone with brilliant light.

The guardian appeared. It was semi-transparent and wore silver armor. “Defeat me to reach the second level. Now, you may choose your weapon for battle.”

“I won’t use any weapon. I’ll use fist technique.”

Zhang Ruochen clenched his fists and uttered, “First move of the Luo Water Fist Technique, Heavenly River Split!”

Boom!

When he punched, a heavenly river appeared. It fell from the sky, hitting the guardian and splitting it into pieces.

A casual punch killed the first level’s guardian.

Zhang Ruochen steered the Truth Boat through the curtain of light and entered the second level.

The wind on the sea surface turned into a storm.

Every strand of wind was like a blade, producing cracking sounds on the Truth Boat. They seemed to cut through the small boat.

Zhang Ruochen grew careful. He wrapped his vast Spiritual Power around the Truth Boat and cruised forward more slowly.

Raising his head, he saw six Truth Boats cruising in the ten-mile-wide second level sea.

Thousand Star Maiden, Feng Yan, and Blue Fang were still at the front. They’d already defeated the second guardian and reached the third level. Two Deities were fighting intensely with the second guardian.

Three other Saint Kings were still cruising. Among them, the strongest was already a third step Saint King.

As expected, the stronger your cultivation, the more difficult this is. Instead, top talents like Thousand Star Maiden, Feng Yan, and Blue Fang can move powerfully across the Ocean of Truth.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t worried. Seemingly calm, he studied the Ocean of Truth carefully in the process. He made sure that his mindset was calm.

Suddenly, he heard a laugh behind him. “I finally caught up with you all. Brother, why are you wearing a mask? Is it because you’re too ugly and don’t dare to meet people with your true appearance?”

Zhang Ruochen turned around and was shocked.

The Dark Fool named Xiang Chunan had actually crossed the first level and caught up.

After all, this Dark Fool had claimed that he’d just arrived at the Truth Heavenly Domain, so it should be his first time crossing the Ocean of Truth.

The number of beings who could cross the first level on their first try could be counted on one hand. Not even Ling Feiyu could do it.

There were only two possibilities.

One, Dark Fool was lying. He hadn’t just arrived at the Truth Heavenly Domain and was just pretending to be stupid.

Second, he was amazingly strong.

The boat under him kept wobbling as if it was about to capsize. However, Chu Xiangnan’s legs were very thick. They were the size of an average man’s waist and didn’t waver while standing on the boat.

He didn’t use any Spiritual Power or even Holy Qi. He’s just using his physical strength to push down the Truth Boat so it won’t overturn. Is he a pure physical body cultivator? This thought appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s mind.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruochen secretly pulled back his Spiritual Power to control the Truth Boat with physical power.

But in the span of one breath, the Truth Boat started shaking violently.

No, it’s going to overturn.

He quickly released Spiritual Power onto the Truth Boat and it finally steadied again.

I can’t even control the Truth Boat with my physical power, but he can come so far. Could he be stronger than me physically?

After that, Zhang Ruochen cruised forward while studying Xiang Chunan secretly.

Miraculously, he didn’t fall into the water even when they reached the second pa.s.s.

Now, only they were left in the second level. The other eight cultivators had all gone to the third level.

Xiang Chunan revealed his white teeth in a smile. “How come you’re so slow? Is it your first time too?”

“Second time.”

“How come you’re still so slow?” Xiang Chunan asked mindlessly.

“No hurry,” Zhang Ruochen said.

“Oh, that’s right. Why hurry? We’re competing to see who goes further, not who’s faster.”

Then Xiang Chunan yelled at the curtain of light, “Where’s the guardian? Come out and fight with your Lord Xiang!”

Poof!

The second guardian appeared out of the curtain of light. It wore silver armor and was still semi-transparent, but it had many silver bones.

Before the guardian could speak, Xiang Chunan had already punched.
