“If someone experienced enough failures and torment but can still live on, then their spirit must be very strong.” Zhang Ruochen chuckled wryly.
Fairy Tianchu knew that this person must have some unspeakable story, so she didn’t ask further. “Let’s go up the mountain! The divine spring’s mouth must be at the peak.”
“The divine spring is in this ancient mountain?”
Zhang Ruochen was surprised and raised his head to look up.
The mountain before him was impossibly tall. Half of it was dark; the other half was majestic. It didn’t look like the small hill from afar.
Fairy Tianchu looked up. “Look, purple mist is floating down from the peak.”
The peak of the mountain was indeed shrouded in purple mist. The mist also scattered down.
“Fairy, didn’t you say that there are runes left behind by gods here?” Zhang Ruochen asked. “What if we break in and activate the godly runes? Won’t we die here?”
“Earlier, I didn’t know that there were godly runes, so I was hit by one. Since I know now, there’ll naturally be a way to erase them.”
Fairy Tianchu’s white robe fluttered and she emanated a fragrance. She walked forward, stepping onto the mountain path.
Zhang Ruochen caught up to her. “Fairy, I have some alchemy soldiers. We can use them to lead the way so it’ll be safer.”
As he spoke, he pulled 12 metal balls out of his spatial ring. As soon as the balls landed on the ground, they turned into human-shaped metal soldiers.
Kaboom!
Half a beat later, a complex pattern appeared under the feet of one soldier.
At the same time, a shred of remnant divine power hit the soldier, splitting it open. Some of the metal bones even melted.
Zhang Ruochen’s expression hardened. He calculated that if the power had hit him, his body would be penetrated even if he wore the Word Armor.
Fairy Tianchu furrowed her slender brows. She pulled out a purple bottle and poured out a drop of dark red liquid.
Sizzle, sizzle.
When the liquid fell on the ground, sizzles sounded and it melted the godly runes.
One must know that godly runes were runes carved by gods. Even a Supreme Saint would have trouble destroying it. The runes here saw a reduction in power after 100,000 years, but still contained a god’s willpower. How could it melt so easily?
Fairy Tianchu guessed what Zhang Ruochen was thinking. “This liquid was made from the blood of a god from Hell. It can eat away anything in the world.”
The two continued climbing.
Gradually, some pavilion-like buildings appeared in the mountain. Each tile and brick was made with extremely precious material. The pavilions here were preserved quite well. The fragrance of saint fruit even wafted from some of them.
However, ancient monsters patrolled those pavilions. Zhang Ruochen and Fairy Tianchu didn’t want to cause more trouble, so they skirted around and climbed up.
Zhang Ruochen felt slight movement at his chest. With a happy expression, he reached a hand in.
The Amazing Little Taoist’s weak voice traveled out. “Amazing, amazing. I’m alive. Zhang Ruochen, did you save me?”
“Do you think anyone else would save you?” Zhang Ruochen said telepathically.
“That’s true. Any other cultivator would probably take the chance to eat me. But you actually used some medicine when I was horribly hurt to help me fix my spirit and produce new vitality. Not bad, not bad. I didn’t misjudge you.” The Amazing Little Taoist laughed.
“Some medicine?” Zhang Ruochen asked. “That was the only bit of Spring of Life that I had. I was keeping it for myself.”
The Amazing Little Taoist climbed out of his arms and chuckled. “That’s why troubles show who the true friends are! You definitely love me. I can tell! Hey, isn’t she that fairy from the Ancient Civilization Sect?”
Fairy Tianchu sensed something. She turned to look at the Amazing Little Taoist. “One-hundred-thousand-year-old saint medicine. Lin Yue, you have quite a lot of treasures. But that 100,000-year-old medicine is quite strong. Its spirit is even stronger than yours.”
“How is that possible?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“It’s the truth.” Then Fairy Tianchu warned, “You should be careful. Don’t let it turn you into fertilizer.”
“Provocation,” the Amazing Little Taoist said through clenched teeth. “This…this woman is provoking us. Don’t believe her. I am a gentle sage, not an aggressive plant like the Holy Carnivorous Flower.”
Fairy Tianchu didn’t say anything else. She continued forward, only leaving a slender frame behind.
He has a strong spirit? Zhang Ruochen didn’t really believe it.
Every time the Psychic Sage was suppressed, he immediately surrendered. He didn’t have any of that strong will to fight back. How could he have a strong spirit?
“Don’t believe her,” the Amazing Little Taoist immediately explained. “She just wants us to separate. She’s afraid that we’ll threaten her if we work together. Women are the evilest.”
At the middle of the mountain, the Amazing Little Taoist jumped onto Zhang Ruochen’s shoulder. He sniffed and looked around occasionally. Then he sent a message to Zhang Ruochen. “This is very close to the Amazing Temple. How come we’re here?”
“Are you sure?”
“Of course,” the Amazing Little Taoist said seriously. “I lived around here for 100,000 years. If we continue up, it’ll be very dangerous. What exactly are you doing?”
Suddenly, Fairy Tianchu stopped up front.
“It smells like blood.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes darkened. He hurried over to Fairy Tianchu.
There was an incomplete corpse on the ground before her. Half of the body had turned into shreds of flesh. It was a horrible sight.
“Chou Gu,” Zhang Ruochen said. “How can it be him?”
Chou Gu was a spatial cultivator invited by the Ancient Civilization Sect. He was quite advanced in the Spatial Way. He had a pair of metal boots that could shrink the land and a dragon-head cane that could activate a gravitational space domain.
Unfortunately, both of these spatial treasures had disappeared.
Zhang Ruochen walked beside the corpse and checked it. “He wasn’t killed by an ancient monster. It should be man made.”
“It’s Gu Feng,” Fairy Tianchu said. “His spirit remains here and it contains murderous Qi.”
“Who exactly is Gu Feng?” Zhang Ruochen asked curiously. “It seems like you can’t control him either.”
“Gu Feng is the top figure of an ancient sect from Cha Field. He has a wild personality and horrible conduct. He’s lustful too, but his abilities are hard to measure. He once got with the first daughter of a Supreme Saint and was chased after by the Supreme Saint’s clone but actually survived.
“After that, he used his advanced and poisonous skills to put seven harmony pills in the Supreme Saint’s territory. Instantly, all beings in the territory were poisoned. As if they’d lost their minds, they became animals that only knew to mate and did many embarrassing things. The Supreme Saint was humiliated.
“Ever since then, Gu Feng’s reputation has grown. No one was willing to offend him, lest he took revenge. Someone like him is able to do anything. If he wants to take revenge, even a Supreme Saint would get a headache.”
Zhang Ruochen sighed. Gu Feng was quite powerful. Even a Supreme Saint couldn’t do anything and suffered.
Zhang Ruochen and Fairy Tianchu followed the blood on the ground into a palace cluster. Soon, they saw a second body, a third…
Monk Pushan and Li Qinghai had both died. Their bodies were in a terrible state and were still bleeding.
When they saw the fourth body, Zhang Ruochen and Fairy Tianchu froze.
It was Gu Feng.
He had a huge hole in his chest. Such a large patch of flesh was gone, including his heart. His eyes were wide and stared up at the sky with a bit of horror.
He seemed to have seen something terrifying before dying.
“Even a Supreme Saint’s clone couldn’t kill Gu Feng, but he died here. Could he have met a Supreme Saint monster?” Fairy Tianchu grew cautious. She looked around.
Zhang Ruochen checked Gu Feng’s body and made a noise of confusion. “He was killed by spatial power.”
Next, he moved Gu Feng’s hands aside. He discovered that the spatial print on his palm had disappeared.
“Of the six spatial cultivators that the Ancient Civilization Sect invited, who is left?” Fairy Tianchu asked.
“Mo Xiaogu of the Space Godly Palace,” Zhang Ruochen said. “But with her cultivation, even if she does a sneak attack, she can’t kill Gu Feng. Unless she hid her cultivation…”
Suddenly, his Spiritual Power trembled and his expression changed drastically. He squatted down and reached out to touch Gu Feng’s injury.
As expected, that familiar Spiritual Power wave appeared again.
Could it be her? Zhang Ruochen thought. No, how could she dare come to Heaven World?
On an ancient tower in this palace cluster, Mo Xiaogu stood behind a window. She looked at Zhang Ruochen and Fairy Tianchu in the distance with a proud smile. “That idiot Gu Feng. He dared to get ideas about me, the princess. Even death isn’t enough of a punishment. But these two are a bit difficult. I’ll use poison!”
Mo Xiaogu placed the spatial container from Gu Feng before her and took out many bottles of poisonous liquid and pills.
“That Mo Xiaogu must have cultivated a powerful technique,” Fairy Tianchu said. “She knows of my ability too, so she disguised her spiritual intent. But I can still detect that she’s hidden nearby.”
