God Emperor

This was very hard to explain. Zhang Ruochen didn’t plan on explaining either, so he summoned Sikong One and Two from the scroll world.

The two monks were quite reliable and finally explained everything that had happened.

“So that’s what happened?” Qing Mo stuck her tongue out with an apologetic expression. She didn’t dare look Zhang Ruochen in the eye.

Princess White Li stood to the side the entire time, listening to Sikong One and Two’s explanation. It dawned on her and she nodded. “Zhang Ruochen, since you did this to stop the fight between the beasts and humans, it’s a good thing. I am not an unreasonable person and can understand your motive. If you return my memory pearl, I will forgive all your offenses.”

“I will return your memory pearl after we leave the Blue Dragon Void World,” Zhang Ruochen said. “As for now, I can’t.”

Princess White Li’s brows knitted tightly. After thinking carefully, she finally agreed. “Okay, but I must be with you in the Blue Dragon Void World so you don’t back out and escape.”

She was forced to agree. Zhang Ruochen had more people and each one was a strong cultivator. She definitely wasn’t their match, so she had to give in.

“Yes! I support you staying, hehe!” Blackie was the first to raise its hands. It also sent a telepathic message to Zhang Ruochen, Don’t worry about your secret being exposed. You can wipe her memory again before leaving the Blue Dragon Void World.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. Not wanting to respond to Blackie and Princess White Li, he stepped into the scroll world.

“Wait for me.” Princess White Li immediately chased over and followed Zhang Ruochen through the spatial door, entering the scroll world.

Once inside the scroll world, Zhang Ruochen immediately sent the six high-level Half-Saints of the Murong Clan out to investigate. He really wanted to know if the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon and the Beast Kings had already killed all of the Qingtian Tribe.

At the same time, everything was changing within the Blue Dragon Void World. Big events occurred at any given time. Zhang Ruochen had to have first-hand information so he could react beforehand.

After giving out the orders, Zhang Ruochen went to the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree to begin fortifying his realm.

Princess White Li chased after him and reached the tree as well. She was immediately attracted by the leafy divine tree and let out a shocked expression.

Blackie walked out from behind Princess White Li and stood up like a human. “This is the legendary Divine Sky-Connecting Tree. Isn’t it impressive?”

“Yeah!” Princess White Li nodded.

“Cultivating under it is definitely more miraculous than in any other saintly or spiritual mountain. You can comprehend the most advanced saintly rules and cultivate more than ten times faster. Do you want to cultivate here?” Blackie smiled.

“Of course!”

With that, Princess White Li walked over to Zhang Ruochen. She sat down cross-legged and operated a very advanced technique. She entered the cultivation state immediately.

“Uh…”

Blackie had wanted to move step by step and use the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree to tempt Princess White Li in staying in the scroll world forever. It didn’t expect the princess to act so comfortably and start cultivating immediately. She didn’t even give Blackie a chance to continue speaking.

Half a month later.

A fragrant smell floated over from the distance. Zhang Ruochen and Princess White Li woke up in shock. They stood up and looked toward the northwest.

The sky was filled with shreds of seven-colored light. The strange fragrance came from within the light.

Zhang Ruochen reached out and grasped a beam of the light. “Such heavy Pill Spirit.”

“This is Pill Spirit?”

Princess White Li was shocked. She’d never seen such thick Pill Spirit. From where she was, she saw that the entire sky was covered in the seven-colored light. It was too shocking.

“Blackie’s pills must be done now.”

Zhang Ruochen flashed and vanished from the spot. A moment later, he arrived at the mountain that burned year-round. Blackie produced the pills at the mountaintop.

The seven-colored light was coming out of the furnace at the top. This colored the clouds above the mountain too. The scene before his eyes was so brilliant. He could vaguely see bolts of purple lightning within the clouds too with rumbling noises.

Since there’s such a big commotion, did he produce a divine pill? Zhang Ruochen was quite surprised.

This kind of shocking phenomenon only appeared when a divine pill was born. A pill trial may even occur.

Divine pills were very rare. It was practically impossible to get even one.

The Divine Origin Pill was the most basic type of divine pill. Even so, a single Divine Origin Pill had such a high price that the typical Half-Saint wouldn’t be able to afford it at all.

This phenomenon was very shocking. It was evident that a pill more valuable than the Divine Origin Pill had been made. It filled everyone with anticipation.

Huang Yanchen, Qing Mo, Zhao Shiqi, Sun Dadi, Sikong One, and Sikong Two had hurried over to the Flame Mountain. They each took a place near the top and were using techniques to suck in all the Pill Spirit in the air. Even the spirit that leaked out was beneficial to them.

Princess White Li also hurried over. When she reached the middle of the mountain, she took a deep breath. Thousands of beams of Pill Spirit entered her body. Her skin slowly started glowing with seven-colored light. She turned translucent as if her body was made out of glass.

Zhang Ruochen reached the top of the mountain and asked Blackie, “How much longer until the medicine will become a pill?”

“At least two more days.”

This furnace of medicine used the saint flower that carried the Saintly Source Spring. The dew from the Seven Star Sacred Tuber was also a major ingredient. It also included 28 types of auxiliary saintly and spiritual medicine and finally showed signs of becoming a pill after countless months in the scroll world.

They’d already waited for months, so two more days wasn’t much.

How shocking would the effect be if so many precious ingredients were used for the pill? Zhang Ruochen had asked Blackie before, but the cat said that it didn’t know the final effect either.

It was its first time making it. It couldn’t find any saint flowers or divine dew before either, so Blackie had to rely on their effects to determine how much to use and create a new divine pill.

“Don’t have too much hope. It’s my first time creating it. I may very well fail.”

Blackie was worried that it would fail after the dramatic commotion and it would be embarrassing, so it told them the worst case scenario.

…

Eight hundred miles away from the Flame Mountain was a vast prairie. However, it was now covered in ice 90 feet thick. It spread for 300 miles in radius, turning the grassland into a mass of white.

Now, the scroll world even had some beasts and creatures. Blackie had led the monster ape and Elephant-swallowing Rabbit to capture the beasts and bring them here. At the moment, a huge black eagle reached the edge of the Iceland.

Crackle.

It froze instantly and dropped down to the ground. It shattered into pieces of ice.

The next moment, a black shadow broke through the ice in the center. She flew hundreds of feet into the air before stopping. Standing atop the clouds, she muttered to herself, “I’ve finally completed the Extreme Yin Body.”

Whoosh—

The black figure streaked across the sky and quickly landed below the Flame Mountain. The moment she arrived, the flame that never extinguished was snuffed out quickly. It became a pitch black mountain of stone.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.” The figure lowered onto one knee and bowed to Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen looked at Murong Yue who was below the mountain and smiled. “Judging from your current state, you must’ve succeeded in cultivating the Extreme Yin Body.”

“I haven’t completed it yet,” Murong Yue said.

“All types of bodies need to reach the Saint Realm to be completed,” Zhang Ruochen said. “It’s already great that you can reach this step now. Rise!”

“If you didn’t give me the great amount of dew, I would never be able to succeed with the Extreme Yin Body.”

Murong Yue stood up slowly, collecting the cold Qi into her body. Even so, the land hundreds of feet in radius from her was still covered in white frost. Regular cultivators would turn into ice statues if they approached her.

Not only did refining the dew help Murong Yue cultivate her Extreme Yin Body, it also helped her overall cultivation improve. She was now a Seventh Level Half-Saint.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen would supply her the respective Divine Origin Pill in every realm. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have improved so quickly.

“Oh no, the disastrous thunder is here!”

Just then, Sun Dadi, who’d been absorbing the Divine Spirit, suddenly opened his eyes. Red flames flared through his entire body. An explosive force burst from his body. Then he charged out of the mountain, flying toward the Iceland that Murong Yue had been cultivating in.

Halfway there, a black thundering cloud appeared above his head. Dozens of purple lightning bolts snaked through the clouds, emanating a suffocating aura of destruction.

Crackle! Crack!

A lightning bolt dropped from the sky, striking above Sun Dadi’s head. It extended to his feet, shattering the ground below him and turning it into a black ditch. Soon, a second bolt appeared, striking his head again.

…

Booms kept sounding in their ears; thunder and fire kept falling, melting the Iceland.

Princess White Li was shocked back into reality. Looking at the thunderous cloud, she asked, “What’s happening?”

Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes and looked at Princess White Li in shock. “He has already reached the limit of the Ninth Level and activated the first Pre-Saint Trial, the Four Nine Trial. Don’t you know this? Have you not gone through it yet?”

Princess White Li pointed above her with a pale finger. “I’m afraid… I’m going to go through my first Pre-Saint Trial too!”

A thunderous cloud really did appear above her. The destructive aura coming from it was even more terrifying. Each lightning bolt was two times thicker than Sun Dadi’s. They were like dozens of electric dragons.
