Chapter 1644 - God-Gazing Mountain (1/2)

Under the moon.

Mu Lingxi walked into the pavilion and handed the wine cup to Zhang Ruochen.

Her hands were smooth like jade and her eyes glinted with gorgeous light.

Zhang Ruochen immediately stood up and looked more mellow. He took the wine cup, looked to Feng Yan and Xiang Chunan, and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to become sworn brothers with you. I have a lot of concerns myself, so I don’t want to bring you guys trouble.”

Feng Yan smiled and said, “You’re insulting me by saying that. I’m not afraid of trouble.”

Bang!

Xiang Chunan slapped the table and said, “I’d do anything for my brothers, no matter how dangerous it can be. Your trouble is our trouble, and I’m not joking about it!”

Zhang Ruochen then said, “Okay, now that you guys said so, I’ll have this drink now with you!”

“Wait, let’s drink up together!”

Xiang Chunan and Feng Yan also raised their cups, and they finished their drinks at the same time.

Xiang Chunan smashed the cup on the ground and asked, “Who should be the big brother, the middle brother, and who’s the little brother?”

Feng Yan said, “If you decide it by age, it’s too tacky, but if we use power to decide, it’ll damage our relations.h.i.+p. How about we use a different strategy?”

“What strategy?”

Feng Yan said, “The G.o.d-Naming Platform Conference will begin the day after tomorrow. We’ll decide it by seeing who gains the most in the conference. How about that?”

Xiang Chunan said without hesitating, “Okay! Sounds good!”

Zhang Ruochen smiled. “Brother Feng, you’re a disciple of Truth G.o.dly Palace, so you must know much more about the G.o.d-Naming Platform Conference, so you have an edge already. Do you want to be the big brother?”

“That’s right. I want to be the big brother as well,” said Xiang Chunan.

“Rest a.s.sured. Now that we’ve become sworn brothers, I’ll tell you guys everything I know about the G.o.d-Naming Platform tonight.”

…

Zhang Ruochen, Feng Yan and Xiang Chunan finished all the alcohol on Kongling Island, and there were alcohol bottles everywhere inside and outside the pavilion.

Enjoy your life to the fullest and raise your wine cups to the moon.

Sometimes, you needed to put down everything that bothered you and do the simplest thing.

Zhang Ruochen was incredibly happy tonight. He felt like someone who finally got out of a swamp, relaxed as never before.

He let loose and got drunk.

Probably because of the change in his state of mind, Zhang Ruochen found that he had hundreds of more saintly way rules in his body on the next day, and he now had forty-two hundred saintly way rules in total.

He could easily feel that his cultivation had reached a new level.

Zhang Ruochen operated his exercises, and the saint Qi in his body rapidly flowed. He formed a fist print, and a gigantic saint Qi storm was formed.

“Have I become a second-step saint king?” Zhang Ruochen looked pleased.

After becoming a saint king, comprehension was the most important. Also, the monks’ state of mind mattered. Sometimes, the monks could be stuck at a level for several years, but sometimes, their cultivation could surge overnight.

He wasn’t sure whether he’d reached a new level or not as he couldn’t head to Nine Steps to the Sky Path. However, it was still amazing that his cultivation surged.

There were ancient trees with red flowers on them in the yard, giving dimming light.

Mu Lingxi was standing under the tree, and she smiled seeing Zhang Ruochen wake up. “Uncle Jing came and took forty-two tokens when you were still drunk, and he thanked you on behalf of the entire Guanghan Field.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “That’s nothing.”

“To Guanghan Field, it’s significant. That King Wuhan won’t make things difficult for you anymore,” said Mu Lingxi.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and held Mu Lingxi in his embrace.

Mu Lingxi pretended to struggle, and then, she leaned her blus.h.i.+ng face against Zhang Ruochen’s chest like a cat. She whispered, “Are you wondering why I persuaded you to become sworn brothers with them?”

“I know why,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Mu Lingxi said, “I know you don’t want to become their sworn brothers because of Empress Chi Yao and the sinister power, and that you’ll bring trouble to any monk who’s close to you, but you’re the only one I care about, so I hope you can have friends who can share your burden and fight side by side with you. Then you don’t need to carry all the pressure by yourself. Am I being too selfish?”

Mu Lingxi looked anxious, as she was worried that Zhang Ruochen would be p.i.s.sed.

Zhang Ruochen said, “You can only expect others to treat you sincerely if you do the same thing. I won’t tell them about my enemies, as I’ll deal with them myself.”

“Sorry.”

Mu Lingxi started to tear up.

Zhang Ruochen kissed Mu Lingxi on her neck and smiled. “Don’t say anything like that. You were only trying to help, weren’t you? However, please try a different way next time.”

“Okay.”

Mu Lingxi nodded.

…

The G.o.d-Naming Platform was one of the few ancient remains in Heaven World.

It was said that Heaven World built Truth G.o.dly Palace here because of the G.o.d-Naming Platform.

However, the G.o.d-Naming Platform was almost always sealed, so even the disciples from Truth G.o.dly Palace didn’t know exactly where the G.o.d-Naming Platform was. It would only be revealed every ten years during the G.o.d-Naming Platform Conference.

A crimson cloud boat was sailed to Kongling Island on the morning of the G.o.d-Naming Platform Conference. It was led by Feng Xi, Feng Yan, Zhang Ruochen, Xiang Chunan and Mu Lingxi, who had boarded the boat.

And besides, there were also twenty-two first disciples who lived on Kongling Island that boarded the Cloud Boat with them.

They were appendages to Feng Xi.
