Chapter 1818 - Seeking Help (2/2)

As he thought about it, Zhang Ruochen finally locked onto the Fane of Youshen.

Zhang Ruochen had once sent a message to Murong Yefeng and Kong Lanyou, but it was intercepted by the Fane of Youshen.

After Feng Chengdao escaped, the Fane of Youshen knew that Zhang Ruochen was in urgent need of G.o.dstones and his people would definitely focus their efforts on monitoring every single move Murong Yefeng and Kong Lanyou made.

“This is really a case of letting a tiger back to the mountains, and for it to cause me endless troubles.”

Zhang Ruochen immediately sent a message to Kong Lanyou and asked if the person escorting the G.o.dstone had reached the Eastern Region.

But after a long while, Zhang Ruochen did not receive any replies from Kong Lanyou.

“Lanyou used to be a Supreme Saint, and while her immortal Saint Body was shattered, her cultivation base was still quite rare. The strongest duo of the Fane of Youshen, Cang Long and Ruan Ling are probably not her match.” Zhang Ruochen comforted himself that way.

After a moment of silence, he took out a Communication Talisman and wrote his message down.

This was a communication talisman meant for the Holy Scripture Maiden.

“Miss Nalan, I am Zhang Ruochen. Please use the Chessboard of the Realms and help me look for Kong Lanyou’s position. Plus, I want to know the movements of the cultivators of the Fane of Youshen, the more detailed the information is, the better. Thank you.”

If it had not been a last resort, Zhang Ruochen would not have wanted to ask the Holy Scripture Maiden for a favor.

However, whether it was for Kong Lanyou, or for the G.o.dstone, before rus.h.i.+ng over to the Eastern Region Holy City, he needed to gave everything investigated. Only be knowing himself and his foes that he could defeat them.

Two hours later, a message came back from the Holy Scripture Maiden. “The Chessboard of the Realms is unable to capture Kong Lanyou’s location. It is very possible that she had entered a certain awakened land or ancient ruins.”

“The information held by the First Central Empire of the Fane of Youshen is incomplete, and it’s difficult to find their specific locations. I can only do my best to organize it for you the positions of the cultivators of the Fane of Youshen that had already been entered into the Chessboard of the Realms. Give me half a day.”

On the light talisman was a list of the well-known elites of the Fane of Youshen, and Zhang Ruochen quickly scanned through it.

After pa.s.sing through the teleportation array of the Qianshui Royal City’s Terminal of Merits, and several other wormholes later, Zhang Ruochen arrived at one of the eight main crossings outside the Holy City, the Tiankun Crossing.

Each crossing itself was a city.

One needed to register their ident.i.ty and name at the crossing first, before taking the White Dragon Ferry into the Holy City itself.

The Holy City of the Eastern Region was a planet descended from the heavens in ancient times. With a diameter of over tens of thousands of miles, it towered over the lands of the Eastern Region.

As the Kunlun Realm recovered, the Holy City of the Eastern Region became more and more sacred, as it was completely enveloped by the holy Qi of the heavens and earth, illuminating both the skies and the land as if it was the abode of the G.o.ds.

The Holy City of the Eastern Region was a treasured star with a large number of spirit crystals and saint stones in it as well as various precious materials for refining.

In the Middle Ages, the Holy City of the Eastern Region had a ma.s.sive reputation in both the Celestial and Infernal courts. Now that the Kunlun Realm had been weakened, there were countless of cultivators who wanted to grab the resources within the Holy City for themselves.

Just like that, many greedy folks from various realms have gathered here.

At Tiankun Crossing, Zhang Ruochen saw a lot of saint-realm beings, some of them were domineering, arrogant, and had a haughty air about them. If not for the ancient wards of the Holy City, they would probably have rushed right in.

“I’ve heard that 100,000-year-old ancient medicines are born in the Holy City every day. If I can get my hand on them, my cultivation will definitely improve by leaps and bounds.”

“Yesterday, a 100,000 year old Nine-colored Glazed Coral was born in the Ximang Sea of the Holy City and was s.n.a.t.c.hed away by the elite of the Heavenly Realm, Ni Canghai. Some speculate that with the Nine-colored Glazed Coral, Ni Canghai had an eighty to ninety percent chance to form his Immortal Saint Body.”

“It shouldn’t be that easy, right? While Ni Canghai is strong, he should be still quite the distance away from forming an Immortal Saint Body.”

“The day before, in the Bronzebeard Continent of the Holy City, a 100,000-year-old Longevity Fruit was born, and the light of the fruit s.h.i.+ned over thousands of miles, and attracted countless of saint-realm beings to take it. The battle lasted a full day and night, and in the end, it was taken by one of the Ashuran Heavenly Kings. That Ashuran Heavenly King was extremely cunning and disappeared without a trace soon after. Some powerful people had used their Supreme Saint Artifacts but were still unable to locate him.”

…

Zhang Ruochen had heard a lot of news. The Holy City today not only had a gathering of various cultivators from the Celestial Court, but it seemed like even the elites from the Infernal Court were hiding in the dark to seize resources.

A hundred thousand-year-old sacred medicine would be born in the Holy City of the Eastern Region every day, and that interested Zhang Ruochen quite a bit as he wanted to seize one or two for himself to prepare for his breakthrough into the realm of an Eight-step Saint King.

Of course, the first thing he had to do was to go to Murong Yue’s hiding place.

Sitting on the White Dragon Ferry, a voice of resentment rang out not too far away from Zhang Ruochen. “The sacred medicines born in the Holy City should belong to the cultivators of the Kunlun Realm, but they were all s.n.a.t.c.hed away by outsiders. A shame, a colossal shame.”

Zhang Ruochen wore a mask, as he turned his head and saw a man in his thirties.

He wore a cyan brocade, and a jade emblem hung on his waist with the character ‘Chen’ branded on it.

That represents his ident.i.ty as a member of the Chen clan of the Eastern Region.

The Chen clan, who sat on the throne of the Saint King Palace in the Eastern Region was the overlord of the land since ancient times.

The former overlord was now reduced to nothing but a foil, and could only survive within the cracks of various cultivators of the macroworlds. The difference was just too great, and no wonder he was so angry.

A laugh rang out. “Kunlun Realm trash like you can stop the Infernal Court? Boy, you have to understand the truth, that we are here at the Kunlun Realm to help you resist the incursion of the Infernal Court. Taking some resources away is nothing but just recompense.”

Another cultivator added, “Instead of letting the Infernal Court get their hands on it, might as well give it to us. Plus, how precious are the sacred medicines born in the Kunlun Realm. Giving them to you, Kunlun Realm cultivators is no different than feeding them to the pigs, a total waste.”

The cultivation bases of the two cultivators were the realm of a Saint King and were not ordinary persons.

It was because of this that they were arrogant and did not put the member of the Chen family in their eyes, and regarded him no better than native livestock.

This scene was very familiar to Zhang Ruochen.

Once, when the cultivators of the Kunlun Realm fought against the Badland Realm, didn’t they too bore the same look when they looked at the indigenous cultivators of the Badland Realms.

There was a message in their eyes. “All of you are mere natives, and you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me. Only by surrendering to me, and being my slaves will you survive.”
