God Emperor

Chapter 1535: Six Spots

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Main peak of the Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land.

Thousands of meters up, there was an ancient pavilion in the middle of the mountain.

There was a 74-meter-tall stone statue before the pavilion. It wore saint armor, held a heavy sword, and looked very powerful. Strong Saintly Way aura spread out faintly.

That was the statue of Supreme Saint Manjian. There was one in the 14 saint territories within Red Dragon Saint Domain and it was like his saint body. When in danger, the statue could attack and kill the evil force in the saint territory.

Right now, the more than 200 Half-Saints of the Sacred Central Empire stood in neat lines under the statue. They were spirited and shone with white light, like all of them contained a moon inside.

A woman who seemed to be in her twenties wore a white dress and was gentle and beautiful. She had a third-level Half-Saint cultivation. She looked around with her bright eyes. “We’ll be able to see the Crown Prince later. I’m so excited. Unfortunately, the Crown Prince is a dragon to the people. He won’t notice a mere Half-Saint like me.”

“I’m so lucky to be able to cultivate with the Crown Prince. With my talent before, it would’ve been difficult to reach the ninth-level Half-Saint Realm. I would need a great opportunity. But in the Universe World, I underwent the baptism of the world and my body went through amazing changes. Then in the Moon Goddess Mountain, I was baptized by the power of the moon. My body and saint soul both improved. I think that, with my current talent, I can try for the Saint King Realm. This was all given to me by the Crown Prince.”

“My opportunity is even larger than you all. I found a rare saint medicine in the Universe World and refined it. I actually cultivated a quite special body.”

...

The more than 200 Half-Saints present weren’t all old followers of the Sacred Central Empire. Some had also come from the Blue Dragon Void World, but now, they were all part of the Sacred Central Empire.

Actually, most of the old followers were still in Kunlun’s Field. They hadn’t come to the Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land.

“Crown Prince, the Crown Prince is here...”

“No wonder he’s the Crown Prince. He’s still so handsome and attractive. He completely crushes the guys who think they’re attractive. Plus, his Saintly Way aura is so strong. He’s like a divine sun that can burn the world.”

As Zhang Ruochen arrived, the Half-Saints of the Sacred Central Empire were all terribly excited. The men worshipped him like he was a god. The women had heated gazes and their hearts beat quickly. They viewed him as their most respected hero.

“Greetings, Crown Prince.”

It was a deafening sound.

Zhang Ruochen walked with Blackie. Scanning the Half-Saints lowered onto one knee, he nodded in satisfaction. Indeed, he thought. Each Half-Saint’s bodies and minds have improved. The Moon Goddess Mountain isn’t just a mountain. After the Moon Goddess returned, it was turned into a great reassurance. It can quickly improve Guanghan Field as a whole.

A god wasn’t able to fight in the Heaven World.

But a god’s abilities weren’t something a Supreme Saint could compare to.

For example, the Moon Goddess Mountain was just a nice cultivation land before the Moon Goddess returned. But after she returned, it became an extremely valuable place that could improve a Half-Saint’s body, spirit, and saint soul.

One could imagine that Guanghan Field would become stronger and stronger as time passed.

Zhang Ruochen walked to the steps of the pavilion before stopping. He turned and said, “Today, I will lay down a rule. All cultivators of the Sacred Central Empire can be exempt from kneeling once they reach the Half-Saint Realm.”

The Half-Saints who were lowered on one knee all stood up, feeling moved inside.

Those who could reach the Half-Saint Realm were all smart people. They knew that the Crown Prince wanted them to have strong hearts that didn’t bow down to anyone.

“Since you’ve come to the Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land,” Zhang Ruochen said, “I have a welcoming gift for you all.”

“The Crown Prince is very generous. Since he’s giving a welcoming gift, it must not be anything simple.”

“The Crown Prince is so handsome. If I could stay beside him forever, I’d be happy even if I was just a servant.”

Zhang Ruochen looked at everyone’s expectant eyes and smiled. He pulled out more than 200 storage bags from his spatial ring. Adding Holy Qi into them, he sent them out to everyone.

“You know that I am the Time and Space Descendant. I should’ve produced a better spatial treasure for you all, but your cultivations are too low. If I give you too great of a gift, it’ll actually attract danger.”

In the Heaven World, even many Saints didn’t have storage bags, but Zhang Ruochen gave one to each Half-Saint. This was already very generous.

In the merits battle, each Saint of the Shatuo Seven Fields had a storage bag, but they were very small.

Plus, they were taken away after the merits battle ended.

Only the warriors who entered the merits battleground could temporarily receive a storage bag, because it greatly increased the efficiency of fighting.

The Half-Saints picked up the storage bags, naturally feeling excited.

But Zhang Ruochen’s next words made them jump up in excitement.

“Each storage bag contains a saint source,” Zhang Ruochen said. “With your current bodies, you should easily reach the Saint Realm with help from a saint source.”

“What? Saint source?”

“There really is a saint source.”

“With the help of a saint source, I should be able to reach the Saint Realm in ten years.”

Seeing how happy they all were, Zhang Ruochen was genuinely happy too. He needed a group of cultivators who were truly willing to fight alongside him, instead of being forced to join the Sacred Central Empire.

Even though he’d given the Moon Goddess one million saint sources, he still had around 100,000.

These saint sources were enough for him to train a strong saint army that could strengthen gradually. In the future, he could lead them and fight against Chi Yao’s First Central Empire army. They could even step onto the battleground and fight with the Hell World.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen smelled a familiar fragrance.

When he turned around, he saw Mu Lingxi’s beautiful figure. She stood outside the pavilion like a fairy who’d come out of a painting.

After receiving the Ice and Fire Phoenix’s heritage, her Ice Phoenix bloodline was completely awoken. Her skin was translucent like spiritual jade and her wings shone with a dozen kinds of light. Her phoenix eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky.

After becoming the Moon Goddess’s disciple, Mu Lingxi had obvious changes. Her aura became similar to the Moon Goddess, more divine and less worldly. But when she met eyes with Zhang Ruochen, she still had that lovely smile.

“So beautiful. Only the little Saintess’s features match the Crown Prince.”

“She’s the god’s disciple now. I heard that even a lot of Half-Saints from Guanghan Field say she’s the top beauty of Guanghan Field. They call her Fairy Lingxi.”

The Half-Saints who’d wanted to follow Zhang Ruochen and be his servant sighed softly. They felt like dust compared to Mu Lingxi.

Mu Lingxi was smiling, but there was annoyance in her eyes. “You insisted on leaving me with the Moon Goddess, but you didn’t think I’d come back so shamelessly, right?”

“This is your home. You can come back at any time.”

Zhang Ruochen walked over and stood across from Mu Lingxi. The two bathed in divine light and stared at each other. They looked like a perfect pair.

A clapping sounded.

Wu Hao walked out of the pavilion, clapping. “The priest is indeed generous. You give out hundreds of saint sources like this. Even I want to join the Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land.”

Zhang Ruochen quickly looked away from Mu Lingxi. Chuckling, he said, “Oh, the Heir is here too? Come, let’s go talk inside.”

After entering the pavilion, Zhang Ruochen realized that Wu Hao wasn’t the only one who’d come. Su Qingling, Wen Shucheng, and Ling Mi had also come. They were all top prides of Guanghan Field.

In addition, there were two Saint Kings. They were both first step Saint Kings and seemed ancient but had strong auras.

The two had already accumulated a lot in the first step Saint King Realm. The people who’d just reached the first step couldn’t compare to them.

“Everyone has gone through life-or-death experiences together during this Saints Merits Battle,” Zhang Ruochen said. “We’ve also had great rewards and should all be trying to reach the Saint King Realm. So, you didn’t come to the Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land just to reminisce with me, right?”

Wu Hao was straightforward too and revealed his reason for coming. “The priest is extremely intelligent and quickly guessed our intent. Indeed, this is still related to the merits battle.”

“Oh?”

“Many cultivators of Guanghan Field bravely killed enemies,” Wu Hao said. “They collected many merits and contributed greatly to the Heaven World. Thus, the Truth Godly Palace has sent a god’s decree to reward Guanghan Field six spots to cultivate there. This is a rare opportunity.”

“Six spots for the Truth Godly Palace?”

Zhang Ruochen was tempted.

After all, the Way of Truth was one of the nine ancient ways.

Clearly, you had to go to the Truth Godly Palace to study the most orthodox Way of Truth.

The cultivation spots were extremely precious.

Usually, Guanghan Field only had three spots every decade.

It was because Guanghan Field had sacrificed too much in Zuling Field that the Truth Godly Palace gave them six spots as a reward.

“Perhaps you aren’t as familiar with how precious the Way of Truth is,” Wu Hao said. “However, I was lucky enough to have gone to the Truth Godly Palace once and comprehended some basics of the Rules of Truth. How about we have a battle? I’ll also use the Way of Truth while fighting so you can have a more direct feeling.”

“You’re challenging me?”

Even though Wu Hao made it sound casual, Zhang Ruochen could sense the competition.

After all, Zhang Ruochen had been too dramatic on the merits battleground and stole the Heir’s spotlight. Now, Zhang Ruochen’s fame in Guanghan Field had probably surpassed Wu Hao.

It was normal that he wanted to challenge Zhang Ruochen.
