Chapter 1802 - Fairy Asks (1/2)
Ji Fanxi was wearing a snow-white long dress, her slim, trim body soft as the willow with her black hair cascading down her back. It was a sight to behold as she appeared in the petal rain.
“I couldn’t believe there is such a beautiful woman in this world.”
Her beauty stunned every cultivator, including the Saintesses on Royal Mountain. They could not take their eyes off Ji Fanxin.
Zhang Ruochen was probably the only soul who would remain unexcited in front of Ji Fanxin.
“Your Dimensional Labyrinth and Time Array are overly simple. Any Saint King with 59th order spiritual power could have breached them.” Ji Fanxin’s voice sounded extremely pleasing to the ear.
Zhang Ruochen nodded his admission.
Earlier, when the cultivators from the Fane of Youshen were trying to dig out the remains of Jinglong, he had only haphazardly put up the arrays and rushed to Tongming River to stop them.
The Yi Huang Bone Scepter flew back in Zhang Ruochen’s hand.
As Zhang Ruochen communicated with the evil spirit, he looked up at the sky in the west and frowned. “It’s a shame that Feng Chengdao has gotten away.”
“Feng Chengdao’s cultivation base is very close to the Greater Precept World. Killing him isn’t that easy. Unless you could perform the move you used to kill Venerable Hiddenheart again, you might have a slightly higher chance,” said Ji Fanxi in her mind.
Up until now, Zhang Ruochen had only fine-tuned about three thousand red precepts in his left leg. He still had a long way to go before he could perform Yanshen’s Leg at will.
Due to the its uncontrollability, he almost exhausted all his Saint Qi when he used Yanshen’s Leg to kill Venerable Hiddenheart.
Besides, he had to lure his opponent closer to perform Yanshen’s leg for a sure-kill. But by doing this, he was taking an enormous risk. His opponent could have killed him before coming into the strike range of Yanshen’s Leg.
So when Zhang Ruochen decided to use this move, it had come to a kill-or-be-killed situation.
Zhang Ruochen’s thinking was positive. “Feng Chengdao might have gotten away, but on the bright side, the other small fries won’t dare to mess with Yunwu Commandery again, saving me the trouble of dealing with them.”
“No doubt that Feng Chengdao is strong. But he is barely a third-tier figure in the Fane of Youshen. The truly powerful ones are Cang Long and Ruan Ling, Youshen’s direct disciples. Had the two come in person, the entire Yunwu Commandery would have sunk underground. And you would be just a sitting duck in front of them.”
“Are they that powerful? Could it be that they have attained the Path Field?” asked Zhang Ruochen.
Ji Fanxin nodded lightly. “I fear that is not all.”
Zhang Ruochen sucked through his teeth. It seemed that the enemy was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
Ji Fanxin continued. “But Cang Long and Ruan Ling have something more important to do and would not come for you for now. After all, you are just a small fry in their eyes. They could have simply sent some other people to take you out. Coming for you personally is just a waste of their time.”
“What important thing?” asked Zhang Ruochen.
“As the Kunlun Realm is awakening, many rare, precious things and ancient traditions will be born. Cang Long and Ruan Ling would naturally want to take this opportunity to make their physiques stronger, laying a solid foundation for condensing immortal bodies. The deeper the foundation and more precious the articles they get, the more powerful their immortal bodies would become,” said Ji Fanxin.
“Besides, the Infernal Court has been very aggressive. Cang Long and Ruan Ling need to prepare themselves to fight. Otherwise, once their foes from the Infernal Court arrive at the Kunlun Realm, they will surely give them a hard time.”
A sense of urgency rose within him.
Defending Yunwu Commandery has been a struggle for Zhang Ruochen, who was only a Six-step Saint King. If he wanted to fight the elites from the Celestial Court and the Infernal Court, he would need a higher cultivation base.
He would have to be a Seven-step Saint King at the minimum. Even if he could not defeat the Precept Domain cultivators, he should be able to get away from them with ease.
“Did you bring the G.o.dstones this time, Fairy?” asked Zhang Ruochen.
Ji Fanxin shook her head lightly. “We don’t need the G.o.dstones with our level of cultivation base. So we are not carrying them with us. But don’t get disappointed. I have sent men back to the Qianhui Realm. They may bring some.”
She continued. “In fact, I am curious. You are only in the Saint Kinghood, yet Yueshen have appointed you as a Divine Envoy. She must have been thinking highly of you. It shouldn’t be difficult for you to get some G.o.dstones from her, I guess?”
“The thing is, she hasn’t given me a single G.o.dd.a.m.n G.o.dstone.”
Zhang Ruochen laughed as he shook his head. “No one could know what G.o.d is thinking. Maybe Yueshen wants to toughen me and test my capability.”
Side-by-side, Ji Fanxin and Zhang Ruochen walked deeper into the Royal Mountain, looking like a pair of fairy lovers.
Every place they walked past, plants in the vicinity would flourish, and sacred herbs glow even more brilliantly.
“I heard a lot about you the moment I arrived at the Kunlun Realm. I didn’t know a rational person like you could lose control of your emotion for the sake of a woman,” said Ji Fanxi in her mind.
Zhang Ruochen laughed. “What else have you heard?”
“I heard that you and the empress of the Kunlun Realm used to be a couple, then turned to become enemies. Frankly, I think you have a legendary past.”
Ji Fanxin suddenly stopped in her tracks and stared at Zhang Ruochen. “I also heard that you have a world under your control. The Divine Sky-connecting Tree of the Kunlun Realm hasn’t been cut and is growing in that world of yours.”
