Chapter 1825 - Tianjue Pavilion (1/2)

Lu Huaiyu replied, “They have been ordered by a Pavilion Master of the Guardian Dragon Pavilion.

Zhang Ruochen revealed disappointment in his eyes and said, “Which Pavilion Master was it?”

Lu Huaiyu shook his head.

The Guardian Dragon Pavilion was actually divided into the Heaven Spirit Pavilion and the Earth Demon Pavilion, and both the Heaven Spirit and Earth Demon Pavilions each had their own Pavilion Master as well as deputy. With Lu Huaiyu’s status, he was still unable to access the top secrets of the Guardian Dragon Pavilion.

However, Lu Huaiyu gave Zhang Ruochen a clue. “One of the senior members of the Guardian Dragon Pavilion is Your Highness’ Royal Tutor in your past life, Royal Tutor Shangguan Que. If Your Highness really wants to know about the secrets of the altar, you can pay him a visit.”

“Sure enough.”

Zhang Ruochen was not surprised by Shangguan Que’s ident.i.ty.

Be it in the previous life, or this one, many of his doubts were all pointed at Shangguan Que.

Zhang Ruochen had figured out a lot of things, but at the same time, it also gave birth to more doubts.

In the past, the Holy Scripture Maiden had paid Shangguan Que a visit. He had given her a clue, and the spear point of the clue pointed toward the Endless Abyss.

It was that time that the Holy Scripture Maiden almost perished within the abyss.

Zhang Ruochen could not understand what kind of relations.h.i.+p Shangguan Que and that person within the Endless Abyss had. How did he survive unscathed when Emperor Qing and Chi Yao destroyed the Shengming Central Empire, and why had the Shangguan Clan prospered to this day?

“Once I get the G.o.dstone back, I must pay the Central Region a visit,” Zhang Ruochen said to himself.

Whoos.h.!.+

A Communication Light Talisman flew from the eastern skies and landed in Zhang Ruochen’s hands.

It was a message from the Holy Scripture Maiden.

Through the Chessboard of the Realms, the Holy Scripture Maiden had managed to locate the positions of several cultivators from the Fane of Youshen and informed Zhang Ruochen using the talisman.

Zhang Ruochen was silently surprised. “The Fatal Six of the Fane of Youshen, the Drifter and the Wayfarer are actually in the Eastern Region Holy City? What are they doing here?”

Given how vast the Kunlun Realm was, any one of the Fatal Six could stand strong alone, so why did two of them appeared at the same place?

If it was only to s.n.a.t.c.h the G.o.dstone, there was no need for people like the Fatal Six to show up, and instead sending a Nine-step Saint King like Feng Chengdao or Bai Yuejun was more than enough.

“The G.o.dstone that Feng Chengdao and Bai Yuejin have s.n.a.t.c.hed is probably in the possession of either the Drifter or the Wayfarer. This will be tricky.” Zhang Ruochen frowned deeply.

The Drifter and the Wayfarer were elites of the Greater Precept World, and their acc.u.mulation was powerful and deep-rooted. Be it their offensive or life-saving abilities were not comparable to the average Nine-step Saint Kings.

Even if Zhang Ruochen had a Supreme Sacred Artifact, it did not seem like he would be able to suppress them.

Moreover, Zhang Ruochen could not just strike with impunity and needed to keep away from the Emissaries Vigilant. If he was discovered, the consequences would be disastrous, and by then, those who want him dead would be innumerable.

The Holy Scripture Maiden’s second talisman arrived.

“There’s another thing that I don’t know if I should be telling you or not. But since you are in the Eastern Region Holy City, I decided to tell you anyway. There will be a crisis happening in the Eastern Region Saint King Manor soon…”

On the light talisman, the Holy Scripture Maiden explained the crisis the Eastern Region Holy City was facing in detail to Zhang Ruochen.

After reading it, Zhang Ruochen fell into a long silence.

The Eastern Region Holy City had been reigning over the Eastern Region for over a hundred thousand years. It was normal for the great realms to have their eyes on the wealth and resources they had acc.u.mulated. But their true goal was the famous Four-Nine Mystic Arts.

Not only was the Four-Nine Mystic Arts divided into four volumes, but it was also divided into thirty-six skills, thirty-six techniques, and thirty-six transformations.

Whether it was skills, techniques, or transformation, it was a treasure that would allow a cultivator to soar.

The Thirty-six Shapeless and Formless Transformations Zhang Ruochen had cultivated were just the tip of the iceberg when compared with the Four-Nine Mystic Arts.

The true Thirty-six Transformations could not only transform appearances, but also transform into mountains, waters, air, and even divide oneself into thirty-six, unleas.h.i.+ng a variety of techniques.

The cultivators of other macroworlds, even if they were to seize a cultivator of the Eastern Region Saint King Manor and were somehow able to steal their memories, they would only be able to get a small glimpse of the Four-Nine Mystic Arts. That was at best useful for mere reference.

It was like the thirty-six engravings of the Demonstone Engravings from the Blackdemon Realm.

The thirty-six rub marks were all created personally by a G.o.d, but there were still many defects while cultivating the rub marks, and was incomparable to the True Marks.

So, they would need to seize the true marks of the Four-nine Mystic Arts in order to truly master the divine technique.

While Zhang Ruochen’s current strength was indeed strong, but he did not think that he had the strength to destroy the Eastern Region Saint King Manor. After all, the Saint King Manor had been rooted in the Holy City for hundreds of thousands of years, it was very deep-rooted with all sorts of means at their disposal.

Yet, the Holy Scripture Maiden mentioned that there was a danger of the Eastern Region Saint King Manor being annihilated, and that meant that the enemies attacking the manor would be quite terrifying.

Normally, once Zhang Ruochen learned of this, he would smartly choose to protect himself and immediately flee the Eastern Region Holy City.

However, upon learning that the Fane of Youshen was a partic.i.p.ant in this operation, Zhang Ruochen decided to stay for the time being. If he was not able to change anything with his own power, he would need to take the G.o.dstone back, no?
