Chapter 1683: Spatial Barrier
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Zhang Ruochen walked out of the Starry Saint Carriage, leaving the Thousand Star Maiden there alone.
Miraculously, she didn’t attack after Zhang Ruochen released her from the Time and Space Secret Guide. Instead, she was a bit dazed and dispirited and fell to the ground.
Zhang Ruochen’s words had hurt her too much. It was more than the humiliation she’d felt earlier.

You don’t dare to make us die together because you treasure your life. You think you’re smart. If you bear it now, you’ll definitely be able to take revenge in the future.

…

If I say now that you have a flaw in your mindset and won’t be able to face a true catastrophe head-on and fight even in the face of death, do you admit it?

…

Do you admit it?

…

Do you admit it?

…
The Thousand Star Maiden felt millions of voices ringing in her mind. They interrogated her, intimidating her saint soul, making it impossible for her to stand up. Her delicate frame trembled.
Since birth, she’d been the best among her age. Everyone said that she was unparalleled and would definitely become a god in the future.
But all of this was overturned. It was as if she’d been in a beautiful dream and was slapped back into reality.

This hit made her feel like she’d fallen from the clouds into the deep abyss.
As soon as Zhang Ruochen walked out of the Starry Saint Carriage, countless eyes fell upon him.
Some of those eyes carried anger. Some had murderous intent.
This frightened Zhang Ruochen. He thought that the Thousand Star Maiden had already exposed his true identity with telepathic messages.
Does she really have no fear?
Then he clutched the Time and Space Secret Guide. He prepared to use its power for a Spatial Move and escape this place as quickly as possible.
The alluring woman beside the Wizard God Emperor walked over with a strange smile in her eyes. She bowed slightly, saying,
Lord Lin, you finally came out of the car. Everyone is waiting for you up front. Please follow me.

Guarded, Zhang Ruochen asked,
Where to?


We already came to the third level of spatial barriers in the folded space, but Master Pushan and Chou Gu spent one hour without being able to break past it. Thus, everyone is waiting for you. We hope you have a way to break the barrier.

Zhang Ruochen surveyed his surroundings. He realized that this wasn’t the place where he’d gotten into the carriage.
Around two hundred feet before him was a hazy mass. There was a thick turbid space blocking them.
He could vaguely see a vaster world behind the wall of turbid space. Ancient divine mountains loomed there like it was a prehistoric wilderness.
It seemed that the carriage had been moving forward while he and the Thousand Star Maiden had been fighting.
Looking around, Zhang Ruochen said,
I’m very curious. How come everyone seems to hate me now?

The alluring woman covered her mouth and giggled.
Maybe they’re jealous. Lord Lin, ignore them. You are with the Thousand Star Maiden. They can’t do anything to you.


Jealous?

Zhang Ruochen still couldn’t understand.
As Saint Kings, they were a bit too jealous.
So, Fairy Tianchu wanted to see him. So, he boarded the Thousand Star Maiden’s saint carriage. These cultivators’ hearts were too fragile.

There indeed are many jealous gazes. Their eyes are even bloodshot,
Zhang Ruochen concluded after looking closely. He instantly felt relieved.
As long as his identity wasn’t exposed, he wasn’t afraid, no matter how jealous those cultivators were.
He followed the alluring woman. He heard many cultivators grinding their teeth and others murmuring softly.

Do you see? That bastard even changed his clothes. Now, do you believe me?


I smelled a bit of fragrance that belongs to the Maiden on him.


Ah! My heaven, my Maiden is such a pure fairy… How… I can’t accept this truth…

…
Zhang Ruochen knitted his brows even tighter.
He’d changed his clothes because his original robe was torn apart and bloodied in the fight with the Thousand Star Maiden.
What were they thinking?
He heard some more gossip, including the term
car sex
and it quickly dawned on him. He finally understood and couldn’t help but grow shocked.
No way! These people are too creative.
No wonder there were so many cultivators with jealous bloodshot eyes. If Zhang Ruochen was the audience and the stars of the
car sex
were the Thousand Star Maiden and another man, he would probably be envious and jealous too.
Plus, there were many people who looked up to the Thousand Star Maiden here or wanted to pursue her. To them, this
car sex
was too cruel! During this hour, they must’ve been heartbroken and wanted to butcher Zhang Ruochen.
He didn’t mind, but he wondered what the Thousand Star Maiden would think after learning about this.
After Zhang Ruochen met with the leaders of the Ancient Civilization Sect, they also had strange expressions.
Before, they didn’t believe that the Thousand Star Maiden would so unabashedly have car sex with Lin Yue, but after seeing that he’d changed clothes and looked so spirited, even they grew suspicious.
The Great Senior laughed loudly and said ambiguously,
Lin Yue, how is the Thousand Star Maiden?

Since everyone misunderstood, Zhang Ruochen didn’t mind worsening the misunderstanding.
Because this misunderstanding was more beneficial to him than harmful.
Zhang Ruochen purposely put up an awkward expression.
Ha, the Thousand Star Maiden has very advanced cultivation… She’s fine… Yes, let her rest a bit. She’ll come down soon.

The high and mighty leaders all looked at Zhang Ruochen with changed eyes.
Even the strict and domineering Great Senior grew friendlier to him too.
Before, he was only an invited spatial cultivator. Now, he was the Thousand Star Maiden’s man. He had half a foot in the core level of the sect.
These two were different concepts.

Brother Lin, you could probably see that this dangerous land is in a folded space,
the Wizard God Emperor said.
We can only open the hidden space by breaking the spatial barrier.

Two levels of the spatial barrier have already been broken. The space that opened up is the palace cluster that we’ve just passed.

Each level is sturdier than the last. The first level needed the power of a fourth step Saint King to break through it. The second level needed a ninth step Saint King.

We tried all sorts of techniques for the third level and even used a broken Absolute Saint weapon, activating a beam of its power, but we still failed. We believe that only a Supreme Saint can break it open.

But spatial cultivators have special techniques. Perhaps you can use some spatial power to break through the third spatial wall.

Now, all their hope was on the six spatial cultivators.
If even they couldn’t do it, then they could only retreat immediately. For Fairy Tianchu and the Wizard God Emperor, who sorely needed the Holy Spring, this was the result that they truly didn’t want to see.
Zhang Ruochen walked toward the spatial barrier.
Before him, Gu Feng, Pushan, Li Qinghai, Chou Gu and Mo Xiaogu all used their own techniques. Their spatial attacks fell upon the thick spatial barrier with loud booms.
Li Qinghai held a crescent spatial blade. Gathering power, he hacked down. A spatial crack appeared and fell upon the spatial wall.
However, the spatial barrier was extremely thick. Before the crack could penetrate it fully, the barrier’s power already closed the gap.
Pushan used a palm-sized gold cymbal.
Whoosh!
The cymbal flew out and kept spinning until it became even bigger than a millstone. Like a golden flying disc, it slammed into the spatial battier, but it only produced ripples.
Chou Gu and Mo Xiaogu’s attacks produced even smaller commotions than Li Qinghai and Pushan.
The most powerful one was Gu Feng. He had a very powerful spatial brand on his palm. After activating it with all his might, he pushed forward. He actually shook all land within 100 feet of the spatial barrier and cracking sounds were produced.
Now, everyone felt that Lin Yue’s knowledge of space was above him, so Gu Feng naturally wanted to do everything he could to prove his worth.
Unfortunately, the third barrier level wasn’t only sturdy. It also had strong self-recovery abilities. Gu Feng’s palm explosion could only hurt the barrier slightly.
By the time he gathered strength for a second attack, the damages were already healed.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen appear, Li Qinghai put away his spatial blade and walked over with a forehead covered in sweat.
This spatial barrier is too strong,
he said, panting for breath.
The five of us tried our hardest without succeeding. Brother Lin, do you have a solution?

Gu Feng, Chou Gu, Mo Xiaogu, and Pushan also retreated. They’d used up all their Holy Qi and couldn’t support themselves anymore.
Gu Feng scoffed.
With how sturdy this spatial barrier is, how can he do it? Probably even Gong Ziyan will fail after trying. Only a Supreme Saint with an Absolute Saint weapon might be able to forcefully break through this barrier.

Zhang Ruochen ignored Gu Feng. He strolled toward the spatial barrier and reached forward to press down. It felt like pressing into thick cotton.
The further he pressed, the stronger the resistance. Finally, a ricochet power sent Zhang Ruochen flying back like a leaf.

Ha,
Gu Feng snorted.
In the distance, the leaders of the Ancient Civilization Sect all frowned, growing extremely disappointed. Was it impossible to break through the third level? Did they have to retreat?
Zhang Ruochen landed steadily on the ground. He touched his chin and murmured,
I can’t break through this barrier, but it shouldn’t be hard to create a path above it.
