Chapter 1802 - Fairy Asks (2/2)
Zhang Ruochen did not deny it. He knew that Ji Fanxi came for the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.
“The Divine Sky-connecting Tree has been cut. The one growing in my world is just a sprout from the root,” said Zhang Ruochen.
Ji Fanxi’s eyes brightened up. “Could you introduce it to me? I have some questions about the Path of Life to ask it.”
“The sprout of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree is still in its growth stage. Many memories and sentiments are missing. It might not be able to teach you.”
“As a being having traveled the farthest in the Path of Life, its understanding of the Path of Life isn’t something that the mortals could imagine. Even if it is just a sprout,” said Ji Fanxi in her mind.
“All right! Since we are allies, I think I should grant you this little favor and not upset our relations.h.i.+p. But, who about the price of the G.o.dstones?”
“If you could introduce me to the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, I would give you three G.o.dstones as a gift,” said Ji Fanxi.
“Deal!”
“I can bring you to that world. But let me tell you, even with your cultivation base, I can still easily defeat you in that world,” said Zhang Ruochen.
“If you trust me, I will naturally trust you,” said Ji Fanxin.
This lady was really enchanting. She was not only beautiful but also comfortable to be with. There was not the slightest sense of rejection or loathing.
There was no wonder so many elites were ready to kiss her shoestrings.
Ji Fanxin turned into a light particle and disappeared into Zhang Ruochen’s brow.
His spiritual power and Saint Soul formed into a shadow. Together with Ji Fanxin, he reappeared below the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.
The trunk of the flouris.h.i.+ng Divine Sky-connecting Tree was larger than a mountain. Each leaf looked like a cloud, green, glittering, and translucent, inhaling and exhaling the Saint Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Ji Fanxin looked with awe, bowing at the Divine Sky-connecting Tree before initiating communication with its consciousness.
Both of them were cultivating the Path of Life and sharing many common languages.
Zhang Ruochen stood at a distance and waited. When he saw that both the Divine Sky-connecting Tree and Ji Fanxi had no intention to stop, he left behind a clone of his spiritual power while his Saint Soul and consciousness returned to his body.
Using the Spring of Life, he helped Xie Chengzi heal his injury.
Meanwhile, Mastadon-Devouring Rabbit and Demon Ape had apprehended the captives of the Fane of Youshen and brought them in front of Zhang Ruochen, seeking his advice on how to deal with these prisoners.
There were twelve prisoners, whose cultivation base was Four-step Saint Kinghood and above.
“The Fane of Youshen has many capable figures. They are not going to give up but surely make a comeback. First, keep these men in prison. Who knows, they would be of use one day?” said Zhang Ruochen.
Saint Devourer had brought back dozens of Abominations, most of which were still intact.
After the death of Venerable Hiddenheart, these Abominations lost their wills and were no different from normal corpses.
“These Abominations were impressive in combat. Especially War Dragon and War Tiger. They were as powerful as a Nine-step Saint King. It is a shame that no one in the Royal Mountain knows how the secret technique of controlling the Abominations. Destroy them for good!” said Zhang Ruochen.
“Lord.”
Xie Chengzi emerged and bowed to him. “I used to practice the Abomination secret technique. Would you allow me to try?”
Zhang Ruochen agreed. “It will be a good thing if you can control them. It will increase our strength by many folds.”
Awesome, the Little Taoist had brought back the black altar that the Fane of Youshen cultivators drove.
The black altar was not an ordinary piece of equipment. It could resist the power of s.p.a.ce and time. Besides, even the Supreme Power had a hard time defeating it. But now, it had been torn into half and was terribly damaged.
“Can you repair it?” asked Zhang Ruochen.
“It is not easy, but surely, I can if you could bring me one alchemist to a.s.sist me. I can not only repair it but also increase its power some more,” said Awesome, the Little Taoist.
“Alchemist?” Zhang Ruochen mumbled thoughtfully.
“First, let’s forget about this black altar for now. Our priority is to enhance the defensive ability of the Royal Mountain. I have gotten all the materials you want. Next, it will be your show to see if you can put up a Ninth Stratum Array.”
“Really? I am afraid that with my current cultivation base, putting up a real Ninth Stratum Array is still beyond my ability. But making a prototype of it is easy-peasy,” said Awesome, the Little Taoist with a smile.
So Zhang Ruochen left all the materials necessary for setting up a Ninth Stratum Array to Awesome, the Little Taoist.
Meanwhile, he came to the outer perimeter of the Royal Mountain and set up a better Dimensional Labyrinth and Time Array. He was going to make the Royal Mountain an absolutely safe and secure base camp, where he could protect more people.
