Chapter 1784 - Royal Mountain’s Transformation (1/2)

Zhang Ruochen took out an Exquisite Dimensional Orb and opened the World Gate to another planet.

The next second, nearly a hundred beautiful female Saints walked out of the World Gate.

There were eight Exquisite Dimensional Orbs, and within each orb was a huge planet.

Zhang Ruochen selected four Exquisite Dimensional Orbs with habitable planets and handed them to the Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit, Demon Ape, Saint Devourer, and Xie Chengzi. Then, he got them to lead the female Saints in an attempt to take all of the civilians and martial artists in Yunwu Commandery away.

The reason why Zhang Ruochen did not use the Qiankun Realm was first, there would definitely be Saint-level cultivators from the Celestial Court in Yunwu Commandery, and Zhang Ruochen was worried that they would blend into the crowd. That would enable them to sneak into Qiankun Realm and learn its secrets.

Second of all, Zhang Ruochen’s energy alone was limited. The Saint King elites from the Fane of Youshen could arrive at any time, and if they did not find Zhang Ruochen, there was a possibility that they would slaughter the entire city in a fit of rage.

Besides, in addition to the Fane of Youshen, Fane of b.l.o.o.d.y War, Fane of Merits, Blackdemon Realm, and even the Infernal Court, there were countless forces that wanted to get rid of Zhang Ruochen. If they knew that he had appeared in Yunwu Commandery, he would definitely attract a storm of blood there.

Zhang Ruochen took out the Staff of the Divine Envoy and dragged his heavy left leg as he walked toward an ancient mountain outside the city.

The ancient alp was called Royal Mountain, and the kings of Yunwu Commandery were buried there.

In any case, the king of Yunwu was Zhang Ruochen’s father in this life, so Zhang Ruochen planned to move his tomb to the Qiankun Realm and re-bury him.

Awesome, the Little Taoist followed Zhang Ruochen from behind and looked at his left leg. Seeing it create one deep footprint after another, he sn.i.g.g.e.red. “Is that left leg of yours really the leg of a G.o.d? Why does it feel like you are really crippled?”

“Want to give it a try?” Zhang Ruochen stared at it.

“Nope! Nope!”

Awesome, the Little Taoist shook his head quickly and dared not tempt fate. Then, he pulled away from Zhang Ruochen and rushed into the depths of Royal Mountain first.

A moment later, Awesome, the Little Taoist rushed back with a thick purple root in his possession and shouted from a distance, “Zhang Ruochen, guess what I’ve found? It is really amazing that I managed to find such a rare treasure in this forsaken place.”

Before Zhang Ruochen could take a closer look, he smelled the strong scent of a medicinal plant and felt a surge of Saint Qi was.h.i.+ng over his face.

It was a three-foot-long purple root with a finger-sized seedling growing at the top. The seedling had two small leaves, while the root looked like an amethyst gemstone. It was radiant, and dazzling liquid flowed within.

“A Qiongxin Spirit Root, and a purple one at that. Does this mean that it is already seventy thousand years old?” Zhang Ruochen was taken aback.

It was not his first time on Royal Mountain, but he never thought that such a treasure could be found on the mountain.

No…

The herbs for sacred medicine did not just grow anywhere.

The older the sacred medicine, the higher the requirements of the soil.

Even the Kunlun Realm’s top sects could not cultivate more than a handful of sacred medicines that were seventy thousand years old. How could Yunwu Commandery have any sacred medicine, much less such a valuable one?

“Perhaps the start of the Kunlun Realm’s recovery is causing such strange phenomena.”

Zhang Ruochen drew the Ancient Abyssal Blade, sliced the Qiongxin Spirit Root apart, and drank its contents with Awesome, the Little Taoist. A moment later, purple light radiated from their skin as they gained many boons.

The strength of their spiritual powers, especially, had increased by a lot.

Along the way, Awesome, the Little Taoist dug up five more sacred medicinal plants, which amazed and awed Zhang Ruochen.

For the small Royal Mountain to have so much sacred medicine, would other sacred grounds not give birth to even more of them?

However, Royal Mountain had seemingly grown a lot bigger and was not actually that small.

Awesome, the Little Taoist felt a little puzzled and asked, “Are you sure that this mountain only occupies two hundred miles of land? Why do I feel as though I have walked at least six hundred miles?”

Zhang Ruochen frowned and stopped.

Boom!!

With a stomp of his left foot, his entire body flew up, and he landed atop a hill not too far away.

Opening his Heaven’s Eye, Zhang Ruochen looked into the depths of Royal Mountain, and a moment later, his expression turned a little solemn. “Interesting, there is a folded dimension in Royal Mountain. As the Kunlun Realm recovers, the folded dimension will slowly open up. My Heaven’s Eye is being blocked by a strange layer of energies, and I cannot see the end of this mountain.”

In the past, Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation level had been too low, and even if he had encountered a folded dimension, he would not have been able to tell. So, naturally, he would not have noticed the secret of Royal Mountain.

Awesome, the Little Taoist jumped up and exclaimed, “The ancestors of the Zhang Clan sure know how to choose their spots. Of all places they could have chosen for a burial ground, they chose one with a folded dimension.”

Zhang Ruochen deployed a pair of dragon wings on his back, and just as he was about to take off, he crashed into the ground.

His left leg was just too heavy, resulting in a total inability to fly.

In the end, Zhang Ruochen decided to cast the Great Dimensional s.h.i.+ft to avoid cras.h.i.+ng directly into the ground.

“d.a.m.n it.”

Zhang Ruochen slapped his left leg and deployed the Great Dimensional s.h.i.+ft as he rushed farther into the mountainous area. After traveling for more than a thousand miles, Zhang Ruochen found Yunwu Commandery’s royal burial grounds.

When he found the tomb of Yunwu Commandery’s late king, he moved it into the Qiankun Realm.

After some thought, Zhang Ruochen looked at the rest of the Zhang Clan’s tombs and finally made up his mind to move all of them.

Suddenly, the ground trembled slightly and cracked open.

“What is going on? Oh, I understand now. You need to be careful with the relocation of ancestral tombs. You must first make sacrifices, burn joss paper, and write certain inscriptions. Since you performed such a big deed so recklessly, you must have angered your ancestors,” Awesome, the Little Taoist said seriously.
