Chapter 1923 - The Northern Region Basecamp

Chapter 1923: The Northern Region Basecamp Zhang Ruochen shot out a Communication talisman to ask Zhen Yuan about the Five-element soil.
The Godstone was of great importance, and he needed to get them as soon as possible to avoid any complications later.
After all, when the Godstone appears, there will be many cultivators who will see it. So the news cannot be concealed and will soon spread.
Fortunately, there was a Dark Manifestation of Divine Will protecting the Godstone, without the Five-element soil, rushing in meant courting certain death.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said.
Brother Pei, you sure are bold enough, for you to even snatch the Yuanhui Sacred Medicine from Chixing Shenzi.


The Yuanhui Sacred Medicine originally belonged to Kunlun Realm, how can it fall into the hands of the Deathkins? That Chixing Shenzi is already a top-level elite beneath a Supreme Saint, and oculd even exchange several blows with one. With his already powerful strength, allowing him to refine the sacred medicine means that he will have few opponents if at all beneath a Supreme Saint.
Pei Yutian said solemnly.
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said.
Indeed, none of those Infernal princes, Shenzis are slouches. To let them get a great opportunity in Kunlun means they will be even more difficult to deal with.


After refining the Yuanhui Sacred Medicine, I think Brother Pei, your cultivation base will soon reach the realm of a Nine-step Saint King, that’s something worth congratulating.

With the powerful medicinal power of the Yuanhui Sacred Medicine, in addition to Pei Yutian’s outstanding talents, it is very easy for him to increase his cultivation base by several small realms.
Also, the Yuanhui Sacred Medicine has a unique effect, and will have far-reaching impact on Pei Yutian’s future cultivations.
For a Sacred Medicine that could survive the Yuanhui Tribulation, how can it not have something special about it?
Fortunately, this Yuanhui Sacred Medicine did not practice any exercises or saint arts, or else, beneath a Supreme Saint, there were few that could be its match.

Kunlun Realm is now is a perilous state, and does not have much strength. Forget protecting Kunlun, whether we can survive or not is a question in itself.
Pei Yutian sighed.
Once he was one of the five greatest heroic talents, with a bright future and many saying that he would become the Prince of the Northern Region.
However, reality was too cruel. Long before he could fully develop, the Infernal Court had launched a fierce assault on Kunlun Realm. The Celestial Court, while nominally saying they were aiding Kunlun Realm, most of them were actually gunning for Kunlun’s treasures and opportunities. Against the top-level elites of both the Celestial and the Infernal Court, his strength was a little too weak.
This was why he desperately tried to get stronger, and even if it meant taking inordinate amount of risks for it.
For example, this raid into Linyang City, and snatching the Yuanhui Sacred Medicine from Chixing Shenzi’s underlings was one of such venture.
Although he had managed to seize the Yuanhui Sacred Medicine, however if Zhang Ruochen and his group had not arrived in time, he would probably not survive that.
Each person have their own opportunities, and for Pei Yutian to be able to reach such a cultivation base in such a short period of time, almost catching up to Zhang Ruochen, who had the Sundial, that itself was remarkable.
However, Zhang Ruochen’s foundation was much more solid, and the saint path cultivated was much deeper, profound and numerous. Unlike Pei Yutian who only focused on the path of the sabre, and was a pure sabre-user.
One was multi-disciplined, one was specialized.
Every path that Zhang Ruochen had studied was much stronger that Pei Yutian’s path of the sabre.
Just as Zhang Ruochen was speaking to Pei Yutian, a saint light flew in from the sky, and Zhang Ruochen reached out to catch it.
A look of joy appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s face as he looked forward to good news from Zhen Yuan.
There were only a few words on the Communication talisman,
Come to the Northern Region Basecamp.

Zhen Yuan was indeed in the north.
Zhang Ruochen looked at Pei Yutian, asking.
Where is the Northern Region Basecamp located?


The Northern Region Basecamp is established by the Celestial Court, and gathered countless Celestial Court cultivators. It’s on the outer area of Xianji Mountain. I will take you there.
Pei Yutian said.
Ever since Kunlun Realm was attacked by the Infernal Court, and after his return from the Celestial Domain of Truth, he had been training in the Northern Region, so he was acutely aware of the ongoing situation in the north.

Then, I’ll trouble you, Brother Pei!

Zhang Ruochen nodded, and took out the Black Altar with a wave of his hand.
This place was about 120 thousand miles away from Xianji Mountain, so using the Black Altar to travel would undoubtedly be much faster.
Their figures flickered and the five of them appeared on top of the Black Altar.
The Black Altar shuddered and then transformed into a stream of light as it disappeared from the Cliff of Doom.
After a long while, only then someone climbed out of the Cliff of Doom, each looking a little panicked.
There was a earthshaking roar inside the cave that was so terrifying it shook their souls, and all thought that they would have perished there.
Fortunately for them, they had fled long ago, otherwise the consequences would have been unthinkable.

Why hasn’t Saint King Ziyang, the Blackflame General and the rest not come up yet?


There was an extremely violent power fluctuation inside the cavern, were they fighting in there? I wonder what’s the outcome.


It’s really likely that their fight had disturbed some terrifying existence laying dormant inside the cave, and perhaps they were unable to escape.


Sigh, it’s a real pity for that Yuanhui Sacred Medicine.


Aside from the Yuanhui Sacred Medicine, there’s also Godstone and Divine Blood inside the cavern.

…
Many of the escaped cultivators eyes glinted, be it the Yuanhui Sacred Medicine, the Godstones or the Divine Blood, all of them were priceless, and even a Supreme Saint would be tempted.
What they did not know was Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin had also went to the Cliff of Doom.
Some could not hold themselves back as they turned around and wanted to explore the situation.
However, none of those who went in came out again, and that caused the heart of many to sink like rocks.
In the face of this situation, no one else dared to take any more risks. Some chose to stay and guard the Cliff of Doom while others quietly retreated, and did not want to get involve in this any longer.
A series of communication talisman flew out of the Cliff of Doom, and it won’t take too long for the news here to spread.
On the other side, Zhang Ruochen and the other four travelled on the Black Altar as they rushed through the clouds, and soon arrived at the Northern Region Basecamp.
The Northern Region Basecamp was build just outside Xianji Mountain, and was extremely large. It was a veritble impregnable war fortress, and from afar, it looked like tens of thousands of iron beasts were entrenched in the vast land.
It was precisely because of the existence of the war fortress that most of the Deathkin army were blocked inside Xianji Mountain, otherwise the situation in the Northern Region would be far worse.
As soon as Zhang Ruochen and his group arrived at the basecamp, a person came to gree them. It was Zhang Ruochen’s second sworn brother, Feng Yan.

Big brother, third brother, long time no see.
Feng Yan smiled.
Xiang Chunan walked forward quickly, and gave Feng Yan a big bear hug.
HAHAHAHA!, Second brother, I missed you to death!

Zhang Ruochen also smiled, he totally did not expect to meet Feng Yan in the basecamp.
After their farewells at the Celestial Domain of Truth, they had not seen each other for a long time.

It’s rare for the three of us to gather together, we must have a few drinks.
Feng Yan’s face was brimming with smiles.
Xiang Chunan guffawed.
That’s a must, second brother. You must not be stingy, and take out a few more casks of fine wines from your collection.

Hearing this, Feng Yan said with gusto.
Sure, you can drink as much as you want. I have enough.


Second brother, take me to see Senior Brother Zhen Yuan first.
Zhang Ruochen said.
Feng Yan nodded and said.
Yes, Senior Brother Zhen Yuan is already waiting inside.

Immediately, Zhang Ruochen and the four others followed Feng Yan as they entered the Northern Region Basecamp.
With Feng Yan leading the way, the journey was exceptionally smooth, and proceeded without any hindrances.
There were countless buildings in the Northern Region Basecamp of various shapes, and gathered in them were countless cultivators of the Celestial Court. The weakest cultivation level was also Yulong level, forming a massive army.
Kunlun Realm was still in the early stages of the war, and the Yulong-realm cultivators and Demi-Saints could still play some roles.
And once it was necessary to evacuate all cultivators below a Saint level, that mean that the war had reached its most brutal stages, and Kunlun Realm marched towards destruction.
This was something no cultivators of Kunlun Realm would like to see.
With Feng Yan leading the way, Zhang Ruochen and his party entered a manor.
This manor was elegantly decorated with many flowers planted in the garden. The air was filled with the faint floral fragrance.

I’m afraid only Senior Brother Zhen Yuan would have such a leisurely and elegant manner. He actually brought a manor along with him and placed it within the camp.


Is he here for combat or for cultivation?
Xiang Chunan curled his lips.
Upon steeping into the manor, Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was fixed on Zhen Yuan.
Zhen Yuan was trimming his plants at that moment, and that leisurely atmosphere was as if he had completely blended himself into the environment.
Zhang Ruochen stepped forward, saluted and said.
Greetings, Senior Brother Zhen Yuan.

Zhen Yuan turned around, and said with a smile.
No need for pleasantries, I’ve just heard that you’ve only just annihilated a hundred thousand strong Immortal Vampire army in the Central Region Sword Vault, I never thought that you’d appear in the Northern Region that quickly.


It seems like my trip to the Main Terminal of Merit had made this matter known to everyone!
Zhang Ruochen said.
Zhen Yuan made an inviting gesture and said.
Everyone, please have a sit.

Zhang Ruochen and the others forgo the formalities, and each saty on the stone bench one after another.
As if knowing that Zhang Ruochen was in a hurry, Zhen Yuan could not help but to speak as he made tea.
The Five-Elements Temple does have Five-element soil, but it’s not a lot. Plus the soil is very important to the Watch, so it’s not easily accessible.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen immediately said.
I only need to borrow a small amount of Five-element soil. I will immediately return them once I’m done. If you have any needs, Senior Brother Zhen Yuan, please just say it.

As long as he can borrow the Five-element soil, and get the eleven Godstones in the Cliff of Doom, paying some price for it was totally worth it.
Zhen Yuan smiled slightly and said.
Don’t worry, with my standing, I could still procure a small amount of Five-element soil, however, the Five-Element Temple is currently in the Five-Element Celestial Domain, and is rather far from away from Kunlun Realm, so delivering the soil over here will take some time.


As long as I can borrow the Five-element soil, it won’t hurt to wait a while longer.
Zhang Ruochen said.
Zhen Yuan nodded.
Before you came, I’ve already sent word back to the temple, so we need at most seven days for the soil to be sent over.


Thank you, Senior Brother Zhen Yuan.
A look of joy appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.
It was just seven days, and he did not think anyone would take the Godstones away during that time.
That Dark Manifestation of Divine Will was extremely terrifying, and even ordinary Supreme Saints were no match for it. Without the Five-Element Soil in hand, anyone who rushes in there is tantamount to suicide.
For the time being, Zhang Ruochen and the rest settled in this mayor as he waited for the Five-Element Temple to send the soil over.
In the evening, Zhang Ruochen left the camp alone, retracted his aura as he snuck quietly into Xianji Mountain.
He needed to seize the Godstones, but he had not forgotten the main purpose of coming to the Northern Region.
From Pei Yutian’s mouth, Zhang Ruochen already knew that Xianji Mountain was almost completely occupied by the Deathkins, and it was difficult to break into it.
He needed to scout the place out, and get a hold of the specific situation before decide whether to collect the Divine Sky-connecting Tree trunk with Ji Fanxin.

Xianji Mountain is really different now!

Looking at the towering mountains ahead, Zhang Ruochen could not help but to frown slightly.
Compared to the past, the Xianji Mountain was ten times larger now, and the shape of the mountain has changed dramatically.
More importantly, the blue palace on the top on the mountain has disappeared.
The Divine Sky-connecting Tree trunk existed within a special dimension inside the blue palace grounds. Now that the blue palace was gone, does it mean that the Divine Sky-connecting Tree trunk had been taken by the Deathkin?
