Chapter 1917 - Fairy Coming Out of Seclusion

Chapter 1917: Fairy Coming Out of Seclusion So, the people heading to the Northern Region were determined: Zhang Ruochen, Ji Fanxin, Xiang Chunan, and Luo Yi.

Too many people have their eyes on me. I cannot go through the dimensional wormhole to the Northern Region. It’s just too obvious.

Zhang Ruochen demurred.

Then how are you planning to go to the Northern Region?
Xiang Chunan asked.
Zhang Ruochen said,
I plan to deploy a teleportation array. That will save us a lot of trouble and also leave us a way out in case of emergencies.

In the past, his spiritual power had not been sufficiently strong, and his understanding of the Path of Space was not deep enough. Hence, he could only deploy basic teleportation arrays, which only covered 300,000 miles at most.
This time, he wanted to try deploying a trans-domain teleportation array. If it was a success, it would be much more convenient for him to go anywhere in the future.
The teleportation arrays were divided into four major levels: basic, trans-domain, trans-realm, and trans-stellar.
A basic teleportation array was only a type of small-area teleportation.
A trans-domain teleportation array could almost cover an entire region.
Meanwhile, a trans-realm teleportation array could easily cover a macroworld and even allow teleportation to the regions outside of it.
As for trans-stellar teleportation arrays, teleportation across the boundless void would be possible, and they could reach other macroworlds instantly.
Of course, the more advanced the teleportation array, the more difficult it was to deploy. For instance, there was barely anyone who could deploy a trans-stellar teleportation array in the entirety of the Celestial Court.

How long do you need to deploy that teleportation array?
Ji Fanxin asked.
She was quite anxious to go to the Northern Region and was unwilling to delay it too much.
Zhang Ruochen pondered for a moment and said,
Three days, three days at most. If I fail, we will rush to the Northern Region through other means.

Ji Fanxin nodded.
All right, I’ll wait three days.

In fact, she also wanted to see if Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation strength was enough for him to deploy a trans-domain teleportation array.
As far as she knew, the difficulty of deploying a trans-domain teleportation array while at the Saint King rank was akin to trying to be an Array Master while still a Saint King.
A cultivator of space who could deploy a trans-domain teleportation array was definitely a talent that even the gods from various realms would compete for. It was because such talents could save the lives of countless cultivators on the Battlefield of Merits and even change the final results of the battle.
Zhang Ruochen did not immediately start to deploy the array. Instead, he took out the 
Secret Tome of Time and Space
 and studied repeatedly.
He had already researched how to deploy trans-domain teleportation arrays, and he was now confirming certain details.
Only with sufficient and thorough research that no mistakes would be committed during deployment.
At the same time, in the skies above the Nine Carols Star and the third divine river, an ethereal light shone radiantly as a golden rain fell. It created an ancient and melodious divine sound.
All of the cultivators of the Tianchu Civilization were startled as all of them looked up in the divine gate’s direction.
A slender, graceful, and beautiful figure stepped out through the divine gate, while a golden mist formed beneath her feet as a divine river flowed out of it. The flowing water sounded like it came from ancient times.

Luoshen… It’s Luoshen. I’ve seen her portrait in the Luoshen Temple before. It was of her stepping upon a golden mist and being surrounded by divine rivers,
a Saint cultivator with a beautiful face exclaimed before she got down on both knees to kowtow.
An old man with a rickety figure trembled.
Luoshen? Is it really Luoshen?

The Fool looked at that figure on the golden mist that looked like Luoshen. He narrowed his eyes and smiled.
It’s Her Highness! Her Highness has come out of seclusion!


Master, congratulations on leaving seclusion and making great progress in your cultivation.

Li Miaohan greeted her with a surprised look.
After her seclusion inside the divine gate, Fairy Tianchu had undergone massive changes. Li Miaohan was completely unable to see through her cultivation base, and she had no idea how strong she had become.
Compared with the time before she entered through the divine gate, Fairy Tianchu looked even holier and more beautiful now, resembling a fairy who had descended upon mortal realms. Her beauty was unparalleled, and she radiated an aura that was extremely similar to Luoshen’s, causing people to have sacrilegious thoughts.

Master, what did Luoshen leave beyond the gate?
Li Miaohan asked curiously.
Fairy Tianchu said,
Luoshen has indeed left some important things beyond the divine gate, and it involves the secret from five hundred years ago. It’s better for you to not know about it, and don’t mention it to anyone else.

Upon hearing this, Li Miaohan immediately realized the seriousness of the issue and solemnly said,
Master, rest assured, I will never reveal anything to anyone else.


What major events have happened recently?
Fairy Tianchu asked.
Li Miaohan smiled again and answered,
Many major events have happened recently, and Master, I’m sure you will definitely be interested in one of them.


What is it?


I have just heard about this. The Immortal Vampires mobilized an army of a hundred thousand to attack the Sword Vault to rescue Lord Ming but were instead annihilated by Zhang Ruochen. I’ve heard that even a few Shenzis perished. Zhang Ruochen has become famous after that battle and gotten on the Saint King Merit List,
Li Miaohan said.
Zhang Ruochen had rescued her before, and he also had a good relationship with Fairy Tianchu, so Li Miaohan had a good impression of Zhang Ruochen. As such, she was very concerned about his situation too.

He really likes to make astonishing moves, and come to think of it, Ji Fanxin must have helped him a lot.
Fairy Tianchu smiled faintly.

Fairy Baihua is powerful, and perhaps even an Immortal Vampire Shenzi may have perished in her hands. However, she sure is generous, not taking any of the merit points and giving them all to Zhang Ruochen.

A look of admiration appeared in Li Miaohan’s eyes, as fellow female cultivators, The Hundred Flower Fairy was one of the few whom she admired.
Hearing that, Fairy Tianchu’s expression changed a little, and she felt rather uncomfortable in her heart.
Noticing that Fairy Tianchu’s expression was a little off, Li Miaohan felt puzzled and asked,
Master, what’s wrong?

Fairy Tianchu loosened her closed fingers and shook her head slightly before she said,
Nothing, my cultivation base took a big leap forward after I entered through the divine gate. Despite that, the state of my emotions has still fallen a bit short. Once that settles down, it’ll be fine.


That’s good then.
Li Miaohan could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Suddenly, Fairy Tianchu raised her head and looked toward the eastern sky as if she could see thousands of miles away.

He actually dares to remain in Luoshui.


Who?
Li Miaohan asked curiously.

Chang .

Fairy Tianchu rode upon the sea which the golden mist had consolidated upon as she soared and rushed out of the atmosphere of the Nine Carols Star.

Chang?
Li Miaohan said.
Luoshui, its clear waters were boundless and endless.
Fairy Tianchu stood above the water, staring at one of the regions. Her slender finger pointed to that direction, and a beam of light shot out as it crashed against the void.
Boom!!
As if an invisible barrier had been ripped open, a monstrous ghost Qi rushed out, forming a hundred-meter-long green-colored ghost claw lined with dense scales.
The ghost claw crumbled instantly.
A dull grunt rang out from the ghost Qi.
A cloud of ghost mist rushed out from the secret realm very quickly, revealing a green ghost carriage covered with inscriptions as it tried to rush out of Luoshui.

Chang, do you actually think you can still escape?
Fairy Tianchu said coldly as she gently struck her fist out.
A sparking heavenly river, like a dragon hundreds of miles long wrapped around the shadow of the fist as it rushed out.
Numerous inscriptions appeared on the surface of the ghost carriage as they tried to block the heavenly river.
Baaaam!!
The heavenly river quaked, and the green ghost carriage instantly exploded.
Luoshui contained Luoshen’s divine power and carried the Heaven Stream Fist’s divine melody within it. Fairy Tianchu had inherited Luoshen’s teachings, and when she performed the Heaven Stream Fist in Luoshui, its power was unmatched.
A thin figure escaped the Green Ghost Carriage, and the scent of the Demonic Tulip wrapped around its arms.
This was the Ghost Lord’s ninth son, Chang the Infernal Court cultivator who had escaped the clutches of Crone Qushan in the battle on the Warsoul Star.
With a turn of his hand, Chang pulled out a magic flute.
The sound of the melodious flute reverberated, and the soundwaves formed vortexes as they rushed toward Fairy Tianchu.
At the same time, the hundred-thousand-year-old Demonic Tulip released a powerful spiritual power and wanted to interfere with Fairy Tianchu.
Baaaam!
Fairy Tianchu’s eyes were indifferent, and she was unaffected. Her slender figure danced upon the golden mist as she performed the Heaven Stream Fist.
Hundreds of thousands of fist precepts surrounded her as the Saint Qi in the region all converged violently toward her.
With a punch, the entire Luoshui shuddered and then roared.
As the second punch struck, the space above Chang’s head compressed, forming a convexed fist mark.
The third punch was launched, and as if a meteorite had fallen, the water surface sank, forming a basin hundreds of miles wide as it got deeper and deeper, until finally reaching the bottom.
With just three fists, all of the ghost Qi disappeared.

I am the son of the Ghost Lord. How dare you kill me… Arghhhhh…

The ghost body of the Ghost Lord’s ninth son shattered like ceramic, and even his ghost Qi completely disappeared as if he was nothing.
With that, the Demonic Tulip was suppressed. It was still a hundred-thousand-year-old sacred medicine after all, and it would be a shame to destroy it.
Such a big commotion shocked everyone who was looking for opportunities in Luoshui.

Chang was actually killed by Fairy Tianchu with only a few punches. What strength.


I never thought that Chang would still be lurking inside Luoshui. Thank goodness I did not run into him or else I’d be dead!

…
After seeing Fairy Tianchu killed Chang with their own eyes, many could not help but gasp.
Chang’s ability to escape from Crone Qushan meant that his strength was not inconsiderable. For Fairy Tianchu to kill him that easily, how powerful was she?
All of the cultivators now realized that Fairy Tianchu must have obtained a great opportunity in Luoshui and had truly risen to become a top-level powerhouse.
The news spread extremely quickly, and within a day, it was all over the five regions and even back to the Celestial Court.

The fairies in the Portrait of the Nine Beauties are truly extraordinary. Not only do they have absolutely beautiful appearances, but their strength is also unmatched.


I’m more curious, which fairy is the strongest?


Fairy Cihang is one of the leaders of the Buddhist Sect, and the Buddhist Dharma is boundless and ranked first. It should be her without question.


No, Fairy Guna was born with three pairs of angel wings, and the blood flowing within her body is one of the oldest deific blood of the angels. Having such a bloodline means that she will definitely become a god.


Fairy Tianchu has obtained Luoshen’s inheritance, and her strength has soared. Who can be her match?


Fairy Lianxi has ten spirits and ten souls, while a normal person only has three spirits and seven souls. Those additional seven spirits and three souls were something she obtained from the Soul Realm. Aside from that, it’s said that she will be the lord of the Soul Realm.

…
For a time, many more people paid attention to the nine fairies of the Portrait of the Nine Beauties, and even starting bickering.
It could not be helped. All nine fairies had countless admirers, and once they were compared with each other, bickering and fisticuffs were inevitable.

Central Region, the Sword Vault.

Zhang Ruochen was studying the teleportation array as he fiddled with various materials and experimented over and over again.
Ji Fanxin appeared next to Zhang Ruochen and said with a smile,
I just heard some news that you may be interested in.

Zhang Ruochen raised his head and asked curiously,
Oh? What is it?


Fairy Tianchu has come out of seclusion and killed Chang with overwhelming force. This news has spread across the Kunlun Realm.
Ji Fanxin smiled and answered.
Hearing that, Zhang Ruochen could not help but reveal a strange look as he said,
Chang was actually killed by Fairy Tianchu… It looks like she has gained a lot from this seclusion.


Regretting it now? If you want to be the prince consort of the Tianchu Civilization, you still have time,
Ji Fanxin said.
Zhang Ruochen could not help but shake his head as he said with a wry smile,
Fairy, you must be joking. Fairy Tianchu is a proud lady; how can I even win her heart?

My study of the trans-domain teleportation array is almost done. I can start the deployment now, and hope everything goes well.

Ji Fanxin did not continue to tease him and nodded.
Let’s begin then. The situation in the Northern Region is chaotic. The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it is for us to collect the Divine Sky-connecting Tree trunk.

Zhang Ruochen did not tarry and immediately went to work.
Just like deploying the basic teleportation array, the materials for the inter-domain teleportation array’s deployment were still the four types of Saint Jades and seven types of Saint Stones. Only the dimensional engravings were different and much more complex.
Back then at the Qinglong Ruins, he had already collected all of the materials to deploy a teleportation array by the numbers, so deploying ten teleportation arrays was not a problem at all.
In a sense, this was the biggest gain he got from the Qinglong Ruins.
The deployment of a teleportation array required four types of Dimensional Saint Jades as a basis. That was supplemented by Saint Stones with the power of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and light.
Among them, the Dimensional Saint Jades were the rarest as they could only be found in a chaotic zone, where its dimensions were extremely unstable.
After spending two whole days, and many changes later, he had finally managed to successfully deploy the inter-domain teleportation array.
Even with Zhang Ruochen’s powerful 59th-order spiritual strength, he was almost unable to support it.

If my spiritual powers can reach the level of Ji Fanxin, it should be much easier. But thankfully, it’s done.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and could not hide the elation in his heart.
The ability to deploy a trans-domain teleportation array meant that his attainment in the Path of Dimensions had greatly improved. It was far better than the space cultivators who were cultivating in the Fane of Time and Space
However, in terms of appearance, the trans-domain teleportation array was similar to the basic one he had once deployed.
Following Saint Monk Xumi, perhaps only Zhang Ruochen was capable to deploy a trans-domain teleportation array in the Kunlun Realm.
The teleportation distance of a trans-domain teleportation array was dozens or even hundreds of times more than a basic teleportation array.
If one were to deploy a trans-domain teleportation array in the heart of a region, one could basically teleport to the various commanderies with ease.

We are at least three hundred million miles away from Xianji Mountain. There is a vast wilderness separating the Central and Northern Region.

Three hundred million miles?


The Kunlun Realm is an ancient world, and its vastness is not comparable to any ordinary macroworld. Otherwise, it would have been destroyed by the War of the Gods during the Middle Ages.

The situation in the Northern Region was complex. Both Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin did not want to delay any longer, and they headed there as soon as possible.
Due to the vast distance, even with the trans-domain teleportation array, it could not send them directly to the Northern Region in a single attempt. Multiple teleportations were needed.
To save time, Zhang Ruochen entered the cold volcano and activated the sundial as he deployed the teleportation array.
With the experience of successful deployments, the following ones were no doubt easier.
Only an hour later, Zhang Ruochen walked out of the cold volcano and had managed to successfully create ten teleportation arrays. He kept them all in the Qiankun Realm, ready to be taken out for use at any moment.
For safety reasons, Zhang Ruochen moved the teleportation array outside the area covered by the ancient wards, to avoid any potential complications.

Brother Zhang, Fairy Baihua, Brother Xiang, Brother Luo Yi, the journey to the north is perilous, please be careful. If you need anything, you can always come to the Zhenyu Clan.

Shi Ren stood outside the teleportation array as he bade them goodbye with a smile.
In reality, he would have liked to follow Zhang Ruochen to the Northern Region, but he knew very well in his heart that he was too weak. Not only was he of no help, but he would become a burden instead.
Now that his grandfather had regained consciousness, he was ready to follow Shi Mingyuan to study the art of talisman and strive to improve his own strength.

Take care.

After saying goodbye, Zhang Ruochen activated the teleportation array under his feet.
Within the array, the Dimensional Jade exuded a bright purple light.
Whooosh!!
The light flickered, and the figure of Zhang Ruochen and the other three immediately disappeared.
The light on the teleportation array gradually dimmed.

I hope everything goes well for Brother Zhang.

Shi Ren prayed silently in his heart.
Immediately after, he put some cover over the teleportation array to prevent it from being discovered.
Speaking of which, with such a cross-dimensional teleportation array, it would be far easier for the Zhenyu Clan to go anywhere in the future.
