God Emperor

Chapter 1664: Despicable Person

Aside from Li Miaohan, there were dozens more monks giving invitations to Gong Ziyan, and each of them had a solid background.

A Gold-armored Guard handed a black box to Gong Ziyan and said, “Crown Prince Dizu, his highness, has prepared a banquet for you. This is a gift for the first meeting. Please do take it.”

Gong Ziyan didn’t reach for the black box. Instead, he smiled and said, “I’ve admired Crown Prince Dizu for a long time. There’s no need for any gift, and I’ll definitely go visit him in the future.”

There were then other talents from top-tier powerful fields who tried to give him invitations, but they were all rejected by Gong Ziyan politely.

As all the monks thought Gong Ziyan would accept the invitation from Li Miaohan, they were all thrilled as Wang Xu and Blue Fang showed up.

Wang Xu laughed in the distance and said, “What took you so long, brother Yan? Ziyan has been waiting for you for a long time.”

Blue Fang smiled and said, “You’re too late this time, brother Yan. Wang Tian and Qiong Ling arrived before you did, and even Queen Daxi, who’s always late, is already in the banquet. The food will get cold if you don’t come soon!”

Seeing Wang Xu and Blue Fang, Gong Ziyan gave Li Miaohan and the others a slight bow and turned around. “I was rushing here as fast as possible when I got the news, but I ran into some trouble on my way here, which is why I’m late. Let’s go, otherwise Shang Ziyan and Wang Tian will ask me to have three drinks beforehand at least.”

Fairy Tianchu sent one of her best disciples to invite Gong Ziyan, yet even she got turned down. Seeing Gong Ziyan leave, many monks found it unbelievable.

However, thinking that it was Shang Ziyan, Wang Tian, Qiong Ling and Queen Daxi who invited Gong Ziyan, they found it acceptable.

Zhang Ruochen stood in the distance and looked at Wang Xu and Blue Fang. He found that their forces were so powerful and stronger than his, which meant they’d probably become third-step saint kings already.

How did they improve so quickly? Zhang Ruochen felt pressured.

He had to keep moving forward as he was competing with the best talents, otherwise, he would fall behind.

As they were both improving their power, if Zhang Ruochen couldn’t make progress faster, the others would surpass him.

After all, Wang Xu and Blue Fang were both qualified to enter the inner four yards, which had more precious and better saint fruits and divine medicinal pills, which boosted their cultivation. Besides, they were likely to have others to help them pick up the saint fruits and divine medicinal pills to improve their cultivation.

There were many opportunities in the God-Naming Platform, and the lower someone’s cultivation was, the better chance they had to improve themselves.

On the contrary, those with already great cultivation would find it harder to make a breakthrough.

For example, fifth-step saint kings usually had hundreds of thousands of saintly way rules in their bodies, so even after eating Heartmoon Saint Fruits, they could only increase their saintly way rules by hundreds, which was almost nothing to their cultivation.

Only the divine medicinal pills that were more than fifty thousand years old could attract them.

The eight-armed Spider King said, “Now you know how powerful Heaven Field is. Even the leader of Space Divine Pavilion needs to befriend them. Although Heaven Track Field is only one of the weakest fields in Heaven Field’s sect, they’ll still fight for them.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “No need to try talking us out of it, Spider King. I know how powerful the Heaven Field sect is, but they’re not in total control. This is the God-Naming Platform, and everyone needs to follow the rules of Truth Godly Palace.”

The eight-armed Spider King knew that the Heaven Field sect wasn’t his to mess with, so he sighed, leaving without trying to persuade them.

Zhang Ruochen would never fight a battle he couldn’t be guaranteed to win. He needed to make some preparations for selling the saint-king captives from the Heaven Field sect.

Firstly, Zhang Ruochen used spatial twist and set up a small spatial maze around the booth, and then, he carved some spatial inscriptions at certain locations to set up one spatial trap after another.

He had studied how to make spatial traps before, but he wasn’t able to do it because his cultivation wasn’t profound enough.

After making the necessary preparations, Zhang Ruochen set up a mini space transportation formation under the booth so that they could leave any time they wanted.

They had to find the saint fruits and divine medicinal pills they needed before selling the saint-king captives.

Xiang Chunan counted the valuables left by the seller from Heaven Track Field and sighed. “What a bunch of trash. Nothing’s valuable except that Jiangliang Herb that’s forty thousand years old.”

He then put away the mat.

Xiang Chunan then picked up the valuables he’d picked from the God-Naming Platform and put them on the booth, and he wrote a sign beside it that said, “In exchange for saint fruits and divine medicinal pills to refine bodies.”

Zhang Ruochen gave one third of the divine medicinal pills he found in the underground cave to Xiang Chunan.

And then, he put a mat beside Xiang Chunan and put a part of the divine medicinal pills and saint fruits he had.

Xiang Chunan took a look and was thrilled. “How did you get so many saint fruits, brother Ruochen?”

Actually, these only amounted to one fifth of the saint fruits Zhang Ruochen owned.

If he took them all out, Xiang Chunan might fall into despair.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “I have a couple of saint fruits that can help you refine your bodies. Do you want them?”

Xiang Chunan was tempted, but he wanted to be the big brother, so he had to show some backbone. He said, “No need. The number of treasures we earn in the God-Naming Platform will determine the ranking of us brothers. You’ll use it as an excuse if you lose. Let’s keep it fair; I have some divine medicinal pills that can improve your cultivation.”

After exchanging saint fruits and divine medicinal pills with each other, Zhang Ruochen and Xiang Chunan sat down, trying to absorb them while waiting for the monks to come for exchange.

Yang Xu, the seller from Heaven Trace Field, came back.

A bunch of powerful young monks were following Yang Xu. They all looked hostile, which terrified the monks in the booths around them.

“They were the ones who broke the rules set by Truth Godly Palace. They injured me seriously and robbed me of my valuables.”

Yang Xu pointed at the mat beside Xiang Chunan’s left leg and said, “Inside the mat are all the valuables I had.”

One of the top-tier great beings from Heaven Sun Field, Fang Lingqian, was obviously here for Yang Xu. He said coldly, “How dare you disobey the rules set by Truth Godly Palace? Do you know the repercussions?”

Zhang Ruochen was still sitting on the ground, refining the power from the divine medicinal pills.

Xiang Chunan was very upfront. He stared at Yang Xu and yelled at him, “What nonsense were you talking? You were the one who put the trash on the ground. I didn’t rob you of anything. Besides, I don’t give a damn about the useless trash.”

Yang Xu wasn’t afraid of Xiang Chunan this time as there was a group of great beings from the Heaven Field sect behind him. He said, “Didn’t expect you to be a coward. You robbed me yet now you refuse to admit it.”

“Coward?”

Xiang Chunan was infuriated. He clenched his fist tightly, making cracking sounds.

Behind Yang Xu and Fang Lingqian was a saint king with four white wings from the angel race. Seeing the divine medicinal pills and the saint fruits in Zhang Ruochen and Xiang Chunan’s booth, he was very tempted. He then said, “This is a Free Trade Yard after all. We’d better settle this privately! We’re not unreasonable people, and we’ll give you a chance to live. How about this: give us the saint fruits and divine medicinal pills and say sorry to Yang Xu, kneeling, then we’ll let it pass!”

Yang Xu was very emotional. He said, “We can’t let them off the hook so easily!”

The saint king of the angel race said, “We don’t need to be so petty.”

Fang Lingqian tried to calm Yang Xu down by saying, “This is the God-Naming Platform, which belongs to Truth Godly Palace. Let’s not do something so reckless.”

Yang Xu had to suppress his anger and hatred given what Fang Lingqian and the saint king of the angel race said. He said, “Come and kowtow in front of me.” ????n????????????????????. ????????????

“How arrogant are you? How dare you ask us to kowtow and apologize to you? You’ve pissed me off, do you know?”

Xiang Chunan stepped on the safety spot of the spatial maze, walking toward Yang Xu and trying to seize him with his hand.

He wouldn’t let him go easily like last time, as Yang Xu was so treacherous that Xiang Chunan was disgusted by him.

Besides, the behavior of the members from the Heaven Field sect grossed Xiang Chunan out as they actually thought of asking someone to kowtow as being merciless. One could only imagine how overbearing they usually were.

This was the pride they were always carrying, allowing them to look down upon the creatures from other large fields as if they were nothing.

“How dare you make an attack?”

Fang Lingxi yelled, and scales emerged on his arm, and his fingers turned into five ferocious saint beasts, forming a saint power storm.

Among the monks from Heaven Track Field who were in Truth Heavenly Domain, Fang Lingqian was one of the three most powerful ones. Only the leader of Heaven Track Field could overpower him.

He was a fifth-step saint king, so he didn’t think of a Dark Fool as a challenge.

However, Fang Lingxi was shocked after seeing Xiang Chunan’s hand slapping toward him. He immediately waved his other hand, and five more giant beasts flew out of his fingers.

Howl!

There were ten saint beasts floating in the sky, and each of them was as powerful as a fifth-step saint king, and their saint might seemed to be able to have the entire area under its control.

Which showed how strong Fang Lingqian was. Although he was a fifth-step saint king, he was quite able to defend himself against ten fifth-step saint kings.

He was capable of fighting a group of creatures who were at the same level.

Just as Yang Xu thought that Xiang Chunan would be suppressed, the ten saint beasts floating in the sky were all crushed by Xiang Chunan, who then grabbed Fang Lingqian and dragged him into the spatial maze.

Xiang Chunan squeezed Fang Lingqian’s body and said contemptuously, “What a joke. Do you really think you can fight for him with such cultivation?”
