“If someone experienced enough failures and torment but can still live on, then their spirit must be very strong.” Zhang Ruochen chuckled wryly.

Fairy Tianchu knew that this person must have some unspeakable story, so she didn’t ask further. “Let’s go up the mountain! The divine spring’s mouth must be at the peak.”

“The divine spring is in this ancient mountain?”

Zhang Ruochen was surprised and raised his head to look up.

The mountain before him was impossibly tall. Half of it was dark; the other half was majestic. It didn’t look like the small hill from afar.

Fairy Tianchu looked up. “Look, purple mist is floating down from the peak.”

The peak of the mountain was indeed shrouded in purple mist. The mist also scattered down.

“Fairy, didn’t you say that there are runes left behind by G.o.ds here?” Zhang Ruochen asked. “What if we break in and activate the G.o.dly runes? Won’t we die here?”

“Earlier, I didn’t know that there were G.o.dly runes, so I was. .h.i.t by one. Since I know now, there’ll naturally be a way to erase them.”

Fairy Tianchu’s white robe fluttered and she emanated a fragrance. She walked forward, stepping onto the mountain path.

Zhang Ruochen caught up to her. “Fairy, I have some alchemy soldiers. We can use them to lead the way so it’ll be safer.”

As he spoke, he pulled 12 metal b.a.l.l.s out of his spatial ring. As soon as the b.a.l.l.s landed on the ground, they turned into human-shaped metal soldiers.

Kaboom!

Half a beat later, a complex pattern appeared under the feet of one soldier.

At the same time, a shred of remnant divine power hit the soldier, splitting it open. Some of the metal bones even melted.

Zhang Ruochen’s expression hardened. He calculated that if the power had hit him, his body would be penetrated even if he wore the Word Armor.

Fairy Tianchu furrowed her slender brows. She pulled out a purple bottle and poured out a drop of dark red liquid.

Sizzle, sizzle.

When the liquid fell on the ground, sizzles sounded and it melted the G.o.dly runes.

One must know that G.o.dly runes were runes carved by G.o.ds. Even a Supreme Saint would have trouble destroying it. The runes here saw a reduction in power after 100,000 years, but still contained a G.o.d’s willpower. How could it melt so easily?

Fairy Tianchu guessed what Zhang Ruochen was thinking. “This liquid was made from the blood of a G.o.d from h.e.l.l. It can eat away anything in the world.”

The two continued climbing.

Gradually, some pavilion-like buildings appeared in the mountain. Each tile and brick was made with extremely precious material. The pavilions here were preserved quite well. The fragrance of saint fruit even wafted from some of them.

However, ancient monsters patrolled those pavilions. Zhang Ruochen and Fairy Tianchu didn’t want to cause more trouble, so they skirted around and climbed up.

Zhang Ruochen felt slight movement at his chest. With a happy expression, he reached a hand in.

The Amazing Little Taoist’s weak voice traveled out. “Amazing, amazing. I’m alive. Zhang Ruochen, did you save me?”

“Do you think anyone else would save you?” Zhang Ruochen said telepathically.

“That’s true. Any other cultivator would probably take the chance to eat me. But you actually used some medicine when I was horribly hurt to help me fix my spirit and produce new vitality. Not bad, not bad. I didn’t misjudge you.” The Amazing Little Taoist laughed.

“Some medicine?” Zhang Ruochen asked. “That was the only bit of Spring of Life that I had. I was keeping it for myself.”

The Amazing Little Taoist climbed out of his arms and chuckled. “That’s why troubles show who the true friends are! You definitely love me. I can tell! Hey, isn’t she that fairy from the Ancient Civilization Sect?”

Fairy Tianchu sensed something. She turned to look at the Amazing Little Taoist. “One-hundred-thousand-year-old saint medicine. Lin Yue, you have quite a lot of treasures. But that 100,000-year-old medicine is quite strong. Its spirit is even stronger than yours.”

“How is that possible?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“It’s the truth.” Then Fairy Tianchu warned, “You should be careful. Don’t let it turn you into fertilizer.”

“Provocation,” the Amazing Little Taoist said through clenched teeth. “This…this woman is provoking us. Don’t believe her. I am a gentle sage, not an aggressive plant like the Holy Carnivorous Flower.”

Fairy Tianchu didn’t say anything else. She continued forward, only leaving a slender frame behind.

He has a strong spirit? Zhang Ruochen didn’t really believe it.
