Chapter 1624 - Current Situation

Chapter 1624: Current Situation
Zhang Ruochen opened the letter from Ling Feiyu, and after reading it, he looked pretty upset.
Ling Feiyu said in the letter that she was leaving Truth Heavenly Domain, even Heaven World, and she was about to tour around all the large fields in the universe. Besides, she also planned to head to the Merits Battlefields to sharpen herself.

Ugh!

Zhang Ruochen also wanted to go by himself without all the responsibilities.
However, after thinking about it twice, he only shook his head, as he was carrying too much on his shoulders.
Even if he was leaving, he needed to get more Mysteries of Truth in Ocean of Truth first. It was an opportunity only in Truth Heavenly Domain, so he could not miss it.

Please take care, and I’ll see you sometime in the future.

Zhang Ruochen put away the letter, cheering himself up.
Zhang Ruochen found another secret spot in Truth Heavenly Domain, set up a space transformation formation and headed back to the Moon Goddess’s dojo.
Whoosh!
The formation glowed.
Mu Lingxi stood beside the formation, looked at Zhang Ruochen and said,
The relationship between you and palace leader isn’t just teacher and friend, is it?

Zhang Ruochen walked out of the formation and said,
No, it’s not.

Mu Lingxi was smart enough to figure something out.
Is she trying to avoid us? Has she left Truth Heavenly Domain already?


Don’t overthink it. Palace Leader Ling has been an extraordinary woman in the past hundred years in Kunlun’s Field. She wants the perfect sword way, nothing more. Emotion is just an obstacle to her. She won’t get rid of it if she keeps staying in Truth Heavenly Domain. Perhaps her sword techniques will surge if she gets out. Next time I see her, she might’ve finished Sword Ten already.
Zhang Ruochen tried to look calm, as he didn’t want to put pressure on Mu Lingxi.
Mu Lingxi knew how upset Zhang Ruochen was about Ling Feiyu’s departing, so she dropped that issue.
She took out the Abyss Ancient Sword and handed it to Zhang Ruochen.
The Abyss Ancient Sword has become a Third Yao ten thousand patterns saint weapon, and it’s going to be a Four Yao ten thousand patterns saint weapon very soon.


Really? Sounds like you took really good care of it.

Zhang Ruochen grabbed the sword by its handle, and suddenly, he felt that the sword had merged with him. The sword was twice as heavy as before, and it got sharper.
Whoosh!
He infused his saint Qi into the sword.
Suddenly, a black saint power ripple emerged on the sword, and it wielded First Yao Complete Power.
Ding!
The shrill noise echoed in the Moon Goddess’s dojo.
Zhang Ruochen looked pleased and said,
I needed to spend half a breath of time to trigger the First Yao Complete power, now I can do it in no time. Seems like I’ve become an actual saint king already.

Zhang Ruochen kept infusing the sword with saint Qi.
After three breaths of time, the second level of saint power ripple was formed on the Abyss Ancient Sword, and it wielded Second Yao Complete Power.
Traces of sword Qi gushed out of the sword, making whooshing sounds. It formed a black sword rain, floating above Zhang Ruochen.
All the monks in the Moon Goddess’s dojo could feel the terrific forces coming out of the Abyss Ancient Sword, and they could feel the saint Qi boiling.
They released their mind power to inspect the terrific forces, which calmed them down as they knew they came from the Abyss Ancient Sword.

It’s the priest’s sword.


Still Second Yao Complete Power, but its forces are way stronger than before. Has our priest become a saint king already?

…
As the monks in the Moon Goddess’s dojo discussed, Zhang Ruochen kept infusing the sword with saint Qi. After thirty breaths of time, the third level of saint power ripples emerged on the sword, wielding its Third Yao Complete Power.
Boom!
The enormous sword way force swept across the space around him, knocking Mu Lingxi hundreds of feet away.
Zhang Ruochen’s face blushed, and his hands were shaking. It was difficult for him to handle Third Yao Complete Power, and the Abyss Ancient Sword felt heavier than a mountain.

Fight me with a ten thousand patterns saint weapon,
said Zhang Ruochen.
Mu Lingxi took out a black horn from her storage bag and infused it with saint Qi.
That black horn bulged, becoming more than a hundred feet long, and she wielded it against Zhang Ruochen like a wind.
Bang!
Zhang Ruochen wielded his sword and cut the horn into halves like it was tofu.
Mu Lingxi opened her mouth wide and looked astonished.
This Field Horn is almost as powerful as a Second Yao ten thousand patterns saint weapon, yet it was destroyed by the Abyss Ancient Sword instantly.

Sizzle!
The Abyss Ancient Sword flew out of Zhang Ruochen’s hands.
It pierced through the ground, releasing black sword light and covering the two parts of the Field Horn, starting to refine it.
The Abyss Ancient Sword’s power was at a totally different level now. Even without Zhang Ruochen, its sword spirit could easily kill a half-step saint king.
Zhang Ruochen smiled, satisfied.
I reckon the Abyss Ancient Sword has refined lots of saint weapons these days. How many saint weapons do you still have?

Mu Lingxi looked eccentric, and she took out a storage bag and gave it to Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen opened the storage bag, thrilled.
Only dozens of them left.

There had been more than ten thousand saint weapons in the storage bag before he went into Time and Space Crystal. He obtained all of them in Zuling Field, the merits battlefield.
Yet the Abyss Ancient Sword had refined all of them in a month.
However, most of the saint weapons the Abyss Ancient Sword refined were hundred patterns saint weapons and thousand patterns saint weapons, and the remaining ones were all ten thousand patterns saint weapons.
These saint weapons were enough to improve the Abyss Ancient Sword to a Four Yao ten thousand patterns saint weapon.
Zhang Ruochen also seized lots of ten thousand patterns saint weapons after coming to Truth Heavenly Domain. They were of better quality and stored in his space ring at the moment. After the Abyss Ancient Sword refined all of them, it could become a Five Yao ten thousand patters saint weapon.
Bang Bang!
Su Jing was standing a hundred feet away, and he clapped his hands and smiled.
Congratulations, priest. You’ve finally become a saint king, and the Abyss Ancient Sword is stronger than ever. Two pieces of good news at the same time.

Now that Zhang Ruochen had become a saint king, he had a different status now, and Su Jing regarded Zhang Ruochen as his peer instead of a junior.
Zhang Ruochen walked to Su Jing and said,
I just became a saint king, nothing compared to you, Uncle Jing.

Su Jing nodded, seeing how humble Zhang Ruochen was. He then stopped smiling and said seriously,
Now that you’ve come out of the crystal, there’s something we three need to discuss.


That’s perfect. I have something to ask you as well, Uncle Jing.

Zhang Ruochen took back the Abyss Ancient Sword.
The three of them came to a palace-shaped Weapon-Refining Pavilion, sitting on two sides.
Su Jing took out a storage bag and put it on the desk.
The monks from different large fields came to the Moon Goddess’s dojo to pick up their female monks when you were refining.

Aside from the one hundred and thirty-seven large fields who participated in conquering the Yin and Yang Palace, other large fields all spent a lot of saint stones to redeem their monks. There’re two hundred and fifty-five million saint stones in the bag. Have a look, priest!

It was Zhang Ruochen who took back Moon Goddess’s dojo, so Su Jing wouldn’t take the saint stones.
Besides, he was the leader of Nine Spirits Divine Bird Clan. He had all the saint stones he wanted.

This much?
Zhang Ruochen looked surprised.

Not too much.

Su Jing shook his hand and smiled.
There’re more than a thousand talented girls. They’re either incredibly beautiful or have noble statuses. Countless monks from their fields are willing to spend saint stones to redeem them. If it weren’t for making friends with them, we might have much more saint stones in the bag.

It was Zhang Ruochen who proposed making friends with those monks.
Besides, two hundred and fifty-five million saint stones was a huge amount already, which was beyond Zhang Ruochen’s expectation. It was more than enough for him to buy the refining resources he needed.
He’d risked his life fighting for these saint stones.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t reject them, but took the storage bag.
Su Jing then said,
Some of the female monks deserted by their fields have joined Guanghan Field, but some of them are very special, so I don’t know how to deal with them.

Are you talking about the female monks from Hell World?
Zhang Ruochen asked.
Zhang Ruochen did see some female monks from Hell World held captive in Bliss Dungeon: Luosha females, saintess from Immortal Vampire Race, and Asuras from Asura Race, and some ghostly female monks that looked like ghost kings.
The monks from the Evil Way were indeed omnipotent enough to collect so many different female monks.
Zhang Ruochen said,
Keep those who’re willing to join Guanghan Field. Sell those who don’t want to join and get some saint stones.


Okay.
Su Jing nodded.
There were human beings and savage beasts who defected to Hell World, becoming the slaves and saddle horses of the great beings from Hell World, so the great beings from Heaven World could also do the same.
In the prosperous large fields, many monks were proud of having slaves from Hell World. The more slaves from Hell World they had, they prouder they were.
Su Jing then said,
I have dozens of invitations here for you.


Oh really?
Zhang Ruochen looked surprised.
Su Jing brought a pile of invitations and said,
The monks who sent the invitations all participated in attacking the Yin and Yang Palace. Some of them are extremely powerful, with high statuses in their fields, but they’re in big trouble now.


What kind of trouble?
asked Zhang Ruochen.
Su Jing answered,
After they redeemed their female monks from Moon Goddess’s dojo, the monks either went missing or got killed. It must be the revenge of Yin and Yang Field, Black Demon Field, and Thousand Devil Field. Even some of the rescuers got assassinated.

Zhang Ruochen was dazed and said,
How dare the monks from the three large fields kill people like that in Truth Heavenly Domain? Aren’t they afraid of being arrested by godly disciples?

Su Jing shook his head and said,
It wasn’t the monks from the Evil Way, but the assassins from Heavenly Kill Organization.


Heavenly Kill Organization has penetrated Truth Heavenly Domain already?

Zhang Ruochen hated this assassination organization a lot.
Su Jing sighed and said,
Heavenly Kill Organization is an ancient assassination, originating from Heaven Field, one of the four ruling fields, and it was in existence before Heaven World was established. After a hundred thousand years of development, it’s already everywhere in Heaven World. They’ll even try assassin Gods if they’re paid a good price.

Zhang Ruochen thought and smiled.
Why would they send me invitations? I might be weaker than them, and I reckon Heavenly Kill Organization wants to kill me more than them.


But you can set up a time formation and space formation,
said Su Jing.
If you combine the two of them, even Heavenly Kill Organization can’t break it, which can safeguard a dojo. Perhaps that’s why they need your help.
