1625 Encountering Gold Roc Race Again

Zhang Ruochen accepted the invitation from Su Jing. He skimmed it and put it in his storage ring. "Have Shang Ziyan and cultivators of the three evil worlds done anything in the past three months?"

Su Jing thought for a bit and shook his head softly. "No. It may be because they can't get past the time and space formations, so they can't take us down. They can only take their anger out on other worlds."

"What about Kunlun's Field?" Zhang Ruochen asked. "Did they have any action?"

Su Jing knew that Zhang Ruochen had a deep relationship with some cultivators from Kunlun's Field, so he said, "There really are some strong figures among Kunlun's Field. A while after you went into isolation, they attacked the Tianluo Dojo and actually conquered it. It caused quite a commotion in the Truth Heavenly Domain."

Zhang Ruochen nodded slightly. The humans of Kunlun's Field—Luo Xu, Wan Zhaoyi, the Nine Heavenly Maiden, Xue Wuye, and Monk Lidi—weren't weak at all. They also had top-class weapons. Very few people in the same realm could defeat them.

The Light Myriad Scroll, Confucius Saint Book, silver cleaver, and Buddhist Butcher Sword were all sought after by Supreme Saints and could dominate the battleground.

Conquering a dojo wasn't very strange.

After all, not every dojo was as difficult as the Moon Goddess Dojo.

"But around one month ago, they went to attack Red Leaf Dojo and ran into a great enemy. They left in defeat and many cultivators were injured gravely. Blood spilled all over Red Leaf Mountain. It was very tragic."

Zhang Ruochen frowned. "Really?"

"The cultivators of the Red Leaf Dojo weren't much stronger than Tianluo Dojo," Su Jing said. "I think they were tricked and ran into a pre-arranged trap. Of course, only they know what exactly had happened."

Zhang Ruochen fell into deep thought.

A smile appeared in Su Jing's eyes. "Mirror Fragrance Cliff Dojo and Moon Goddess Dojo had all been conquered. When the news spread back to Guanghan Field, all the races celebrated. Countless older cultivators were impressed. If you return to the Shatuo Heavenly Domain, many people will probably visit you.

"Now, you are an unbeatable hero to the beings of Guanghan Field. Your name is like a Supreme Saint. Apparently, the Moon Goddess also bestowed a gift upon you. It's on the way to the Truth Heavenly Domain now."

This entire time, Zhang Ruochen seemed very composed. He didn't care about fame anymore.

He was excited for the Moon Goddess's treasure though.

A god's gift wouldn't be too bad.

Su Jing continued, "Since you've already entered the Saint King Realm, you must have improved greatly. When do you plan on conquering the remaining 19 dojos of Guanghan Field?"

By now, Su Jing was very confident in Zhang Ruochen, viewing him as the hope of Guanghan Field.

Zhang Ruochen felt that it was very strange that Kunlun's Field was defeated. "No hurry," he said seriously. "Right now, Guanghan Field only has a few cultivators here at the Truth Heavenly Domain. Two dojos are enough. I plan on crossing the Sea of Truth first. Perhaps I can gain more cultivation spots for Guanghan Field."

Su Jing's eyes brightened. "With your current abilities, you should be able to cross the second level, right?"

Zhang Ruochen didn't reply. He just smiled.

Before reaching the Saint King Realm, Zhang Ruochen had been confident in crossing the second or even third level.

As for now, he naturally had a higher goal.

Seeing how confident he was, Su Jing was even happier. "If you can cross the second level in the first year, you'll receive six cultivation spots. If you succeed, it'll be great news for Guanghan Field."

Next, the three discussed some other things before leaving one after another.

When crossing the Sea of Truth, strong Spiritual Power was a great help, so Zhang Ruochen planned on going to the Hundred Flower Palace and buying the Six Desires Ancient Pill.

Before leaving, he took out two bottles of Spiritual Power strengthening pills and a dozen other bottles. He gave them all to Mu Lingxi.

However, he didn't give her the Emotion Pill.

If Mu Lingxi's personality turned bipolar because of the side effects, wouldn't Zhang Ruochen be giving himself trouble?

Of course, Mu Lignxi's phoenix wings contained the strong inherited power of the Ice and Fire Phoenix. Her Spiritual Power, cultivation, and improvement speed far surpassed regular cultivators.

She wasn't far from the Saint King Realm now.

Zhang Ruochen used the True Hallucination Flower's seed to create an "intangible mirage." He slipped out of the Moon Goddess Dojo and appeared on the street.

Instead of going straight to the Hundred Flower Palace, he circled the Moon Goddess Dojo to investigate secretly.

There are three spies. They're all half-step Saint Kings.

Without having to guess, he knew that they were sent by Shang Ziyan or the three evil worlds. They were watching every move of the people in the dojo.

Perhaps, they knew that it wasn't much use since the dojo had a space transfer formation, so their spies weren't very strong.

Zhang Ruochen memorized the three's appearances and auras but didn't kill them. Instead, he went toward the Hundred Flower Palace.

When he reached a more remote alley, he transformed into a handsome man with dragon horns, dragon wings, and armor made of dragon scales. There was a cold and arrogant look on his face.

His cultivation was pushed to the half-step Saint King Realm.

The Hundred Flower Palace was glamorous and majestic like a palace. Light shot into the air and the Holy Qi was heavy. It was also popular. An endless stream of cultivators went in and out of the gates.

As soon as Zhang Ruochen entered, a lower Saint servant in white clothing came over. She bowed. "Qing Xing greets the lord. How can I help you today?"

Zhang Ruochen put on the arrogance of a dragon elite. "I want to see the Fairy Extreme King."

Qing Xing saw that he had an extraordinary temperament and was very strong. Afraid that she would anger him, she asked carefully, "Lord, are you an esteemed guest of the Hundred Flower Palace?"

Zhang Ruochen swiped his finger across the storage ring.

Whoosh!

The ring flashed with light.

A badge appeared in his hands. He shook it before Qing Xing's eyes and then put it back.

Seeing the esteemed badge, Qing Xing grew more respectful toward Zhang Ruochen. "Lord, you came at a bad time. The Fairy Extreme King happened to return to Thousand Pistil Field. Now, the Pill Spirit King is in charge."

"The Pill Spirit King," Zhang Ruochen uttered. The tragic image from the Euphoria Underground Palace flashed past his mind. "Okay," he said. "Take me to see the Pill Spirit King."

He'd come to the Hundred Flower Palace to buy the Six Desires Ancient Pill and redeem the Golden Dragon Carriage. Both the Fairy Extreme King and Pill Spirit King were the same to him, as long as he could see Ji Fanxin through them.

But it was impossible to be able to see the famous Hundred Flower Fairy through them.

Plus, the Holy Carnivorous Flower had already eaten all the Reflection Lotus powder in him. Ji Fanxin shouldn't know that he'd come.

Qing Xing's expression grew apologetic. "A few other esteemed guests and big clients have come to see the Pill Spirit King today too. Lord, how about you wait for a moment in the esteemed guest room?"

Zhang Ruochen was in no hurry, so he nodded and followed Qing Xing to the room.

It was decorated in a scholarly style. The halls had paintings and calligraphies from famous artists. It was very quiet. The walls and floor also had formation runes to ensure every guest's safety.

Qing Xing led Zhang Ruochen to the room and left.

There were many beast bone screens in the room. It was unknown what material they were made out of, but they radiated with cold Qi. That Qi could refresh and compose someone, helping them instantly enter the state of comprehending the Way.

Other than Zhang Ruochen, there were three other beings sitting there.

To Zhang Ruochen's right was a thin man.

However, he wasn't human. There was a white spike at the tip of his nose. He was probably from the Eagle Race.

Eagles were a big bird race and were spread throughout the universe. Some that had ancient bloodlines were terrifying. They ate dragons and captured phoenixes.

However, they weren't very tribal and were mostly independent cultivators.

The thin man's eyes were closed and he held his hands before his abdomen. Strands of white mist rolled between his palms, shining with specks of light. It seemed to be a powerful technique.

It might have been because of his special technique or that he had a treasure that covered his aura, but even as a Saint King, Zhang Ruochen couldn't see through him.

What Zhang Ruochen couldn't understand was that he actually had a strange aura.

He couldn't pinpoint why it was strange. It just unsettled Zhang Ruochen, making him a bit anxious.

This was very rare, so Zhang Ruochen secretly released a spatial domain and grew cautious.

Across from Zhang Ruochen, two men sat behind a screen. He couldn't see their appearances, but he could hear them talk. Not only did they not use Spiritual Power, they also sounded very cocky.

A dramatic voice rang out behind the screen. "Seventh Brother is so strong. How could he vanish for no reason?

"I think it's very strange. It must be related to that Hundred Flower Fairy.

"Ever since Seventh Brother met her, it was like he's possessed. Instead of cultivating in our dojo, he moved into the Hundred Flower Palace. Who knows how many saint stones he spent to pursue her?"

Another man's voice sounded. "Brother Yi Roc, are you overthinking it? The Hundred Flower Fairy is the disciple of the Datura Flower Goddess. How could she harm the Gold Roc Prince? In my opinion, he is just cultivating in isolation somewhere, so he didn't answer your message."

"Ha, I know. You, Prince Luonan, want to pursue her too, so you're speaking up for her, right?" The man known as "Brother Yi Roc" scoffed.

Prince Luonan chuckled. "Who doesn't want to pursue the legendary lady of the Nine Angels Beauty Scroll? Plus, if I can snatch the Hundred Flower Fairy's heart, then you'll call me Crown Prince Luonan from now on."

"If that Hundred Flower Fairy has something to do with my seventh brother going missing," Brother Yi Roc said, "the Gold Roc Race isn't a good race to offend. She'll have to pay with her life even if she's the Datura Flower Goddess' disciple."

"You don't treasure beauties at all." Prince Luonan sighed.

Hearing their conversation, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but want to laugh. Enemies always found each other. He actually encountered Gold Rocs here.

Unfortunately, that Gold Roc Prince was probably already turned to ashes by Ji Fanxin.

Hopefully, Ji Fanxin did things cleanly and didn't leave any traces. Otherwise, if the Gold Roc Race investigated, they might be able to find him too.

The Gold Roc Race was a very strong ancient race. They were aggressive and not even gods were willing to offend them, let alone Zhang Ruochen.

Steps sounded outside.

Zhang Ruochen sensed the Pill Spirit King's aura and immediately sat up.
