God Emperor

Before going to the Truth Godly Palace, Zhang Ruochen met with Fairy Tianchu.

The two met in a maple forest around 10,000 miles from the Truth Godly Palace. It was autumn and all the maple leaves were red and bright like flowers. It was beautiful.

Fairy Tianchu wore a pure white robe. Standing among the maple leaves, she was like a goddess in a painting and was gorgeous.

Zhang Ruochen handed her 100,000 drops of divine spring and the scroll. “This is my promise to you. I did it!”

Instead of looking at the scroll, Fairy Tianchu destroyed it immediately. After taking the 100,000 drops of divine spring, she stared deeply at Zhang Ruochen with clear eyes.

“Why are you looking at me?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“If you propose to me now, I might agree.”

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ruochen just laughed and shook his head. “Why would you agree? Because of that vow? Or because we have this weird mismatched fate?”

“Is the reason important?”

“Of course.”

After a pause, Zhang Ruochen continued, “We don’t have enough fate. Even if I propose to you now, it won’t be my true intentions. I don’t want to go against my heart.”

Fairy Tianchu suddenly felt that she couldn’t understand the man before her.

One hundred thousand drops of divine spring were extremely precious. He could definitely use it for himself or exchange it for resources from other cultivators. However, this man was actually giving them all to her for a promise.

Many men in the world wanted to marry Fairy Tianchu for her beauty, her strong abilities, or the Tianchu Civilization behind her.

But he didn’t take this chance and make her fulfil her promise and marry him.

What kind of person is he exactly? Fairy Tianchu thought.

Zhang Ruochen left quietly. He never revealed his true identity.

The Amazing Little Taoist had an extremely pained expression. Along the way, he kept muttering, “One hundred thousand drops of divine spring. That’s 100,000 drops of divine spring and you just gave it away. Zhang Ruochen, doesn’t your heart hurt? If you gave it to me, I might be able to turn into divine medicine.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled uncaringly. “Fairy Tianchu vowed before all cultivators that whoever could collect 100,000 drops of divine spring for her, she would marry. If someone wanted to marry her with the divine spring, she might really do it. No matter what, she’s my woman. I would feel regret if she married someone else.”

Then he asked, “We’ve already left the God-Naming Platform. How come you haven’t left?”

The Amazing Little Taoist sighed. “The world is so large. I don’t know where to go either. Plus, I’m a 100,000-year-old ancient medicine plant. If someone recognizes me, I’ll definitely be hunted. What should I do now?”

“I’ll introduce you to someone important,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Perhaps it can help you.”

“Who?” The Amazing Little Taoist’s eyes shimmered. “Could it be that god who just showed up earlier?”

“No… But I’ve already sent a message to it. I’m sure it’ll reunite with me soon.”

Zhang Ruochen led the Amazing Little Taoist to Kongling Island, the cultivation land of godly disciple Feng Xi. Feng Yan had already returned to the island. Xiang Chunan and Mu Lingxi were there too.

“Haha! Third Brother, you’re finally here,” Xiang Chunan said. “Hurry and call me Second Brother.”

Zhang Ruochen laughed. “How come you became Second Brother?”

Xiang Chunan’s eyes were serious. “Before entering the God-Naming Platform, we agreed to determine our rank according to the treasures we got. Are you backing out now?”

“So, you and Brother Feng have already compared?”

Feng Yan sat in the pavilion. Smiling, he said, “We did and that’s why he calls himself the Second Brother. Otherwise, he would want to be the leader.”

“At least I’m not last,” Xiang Chunan said, chuckling.

Zhang Ruochen coughed. “Do you think that my treasures are lesser than yours? Not as precious?”

Xiang Chunan said proudly, “Your cultivation has already reached the fourth step Saint King Realm. Clearly, you’ve used a lot of saint fruit and medicine. You probably don’t have a lot left now, right? Hehe.”

Mu Lingxi walked to Zhang Ruochen’s side. She took out everything that she’d received from the God-Naming Platform and gave it to him.

Seeing this, Xiang Chunan panicked. “No, no, Sister-in-law, this is a fair competition between us three. How can you give everything you collected to him?”

“What is mine is his,” Mu Lingxi said. “Why can’t I give them to him?”

“Yeah, why can’t she?” Feng Yan followed.

Xiang Chunan grew even more panicked, but he gave in finally. “Fine, you can’t beat me even if you add in Sister-in-law’s portion.”

Smiling, Zhang Ruochen shook his head at Mu Lingxi. Then he grabbed the Amazing Little Taoist and placed him before Xiang Chunan. “I can beat you with just this 100,000-year-old medicine, right?”

Xiang Chunan’s expression changed. “This old guy counts too?”

The Amazing Little Taoist sat cross-legged in Zhang Ruochen’s palm and looked at Xiang Chunan with disdain. “Why can’t I count?”

Mu Lingxi giggled. “Brother Xiang, are you a sore loser?”

“I…”

Xiang Chunan clenched his jaw. All of his hair stood up. In the end, he sighed and said, “Fine, I have less treasures than you.”

Holding the Amazing Little Taoist, Zhang Ruochen looked at Feng Yan. “Can I be the leader?”

“A 100,000-year-old plant isn’t enough.” Feng Yan shook his head.

“Seems like you’ve found some good things in the God-Naming Platform.” Zhang Ruochen took out the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror and asked, “What about now?”

Feng Yan shot up from his stone stool. Taking the mirror, he caressed it and his eyes widened. “This is…the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror from True Lord Luotian.”

“Brother Feng, you actually know it.” Zhang Ruochen was surprised.

“A godly disciple once saw it at the God-Naming Platform and sketched it. Many godly disciples would search for it when they went, but none of them succeeded. I didn’t expect you would be so lucky and find it.”

Zhang Ruochen had revealed an Absolute Saint weapon, so he was obviously the leader of the group.

That night, Zhang Ruochen, Feng Yan and Xiang Chunan all got drunk.

The second day, Feng Yan helped Xiang Chunan and Mu Lingxi enter the Truth Godly Palace to cultivate. Zhang Ruochen was still waiting.

The fourth day, Blackie finally came to Kongling Island and met with Zhang Ruochen.

As soon as it arrived, Blackie complained endlessly. “You didn’t tell me about something as important as the God-Naming Platform. What is this? What treasures did you find? Take them all out so I can see.”

Zhang Ruochen summoned the Amazing Little Taoist to introduce to Blackie. “This Taoist is called Amazing. He has very advanced cultivation, but he has reached a bottleneck now. He needs to be challenged in the mundane world. You can help him while I’m gone!”

Blackie studied the Amazing Little Taoist with its round eyes and sent a message to Zhang Ruochen. “Are you giving it to me to eat? My cultivation might be able to recover entirely after eating it.”

Zhang Ruochen rolled his eyes. “This Taoist isn’t simple,” he said seriously. “He can control an Absolute Saint weapon.”

He’d checked the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror and discovered something annoying. No matter how much Holy Qi he added into the mirror, he couldn’t activate the Absolute Saint power.

It seemed that only the Amazing Little Taoist could use special tactics and make the mirror unleash the Absolute Saint power.

“An Absolute Saint weapon!”

Blackie was very excited. It reached out two claws and captured the Amazing Little Taoist. “Why didn’t you tell me that you have an Absolute Saint weapon? Hurry and take it out so I can see if it’s real or not.”

The Amazing Little Taoist felt that this owl was looking at him with strange eyes as if wanting to eat him.

“Zhang Ruochen, you don’t want me to practice with this owl, do you?” The Amazing Little Taoist looked disdainful.

Blackie swatted his head and berated, “Little guy, why are you looking at me like that? Don’t think you’re powerful just because you have an Absolute Saint weapon. I can eat you in a minute!”

The Amazing Little Taoist grew furious. “You dare to eat me? I can use my Absolute Saint weapon to beat you up until even your mom can’t recognize you!”

They instantly started fighting and rolling on the ground.

“Stop!”

Zhang Ruochen wanted to stop them, but he was useless. They instead fought even more intensely.

Blackie’s cultivation had recovered a lot and had the upper hand in this fight, crushing the Amazing Little Taoist on the ground.

“I will use the Absolute Saint weapon now and kill you, big-faced owl.” The Amazing Little Taoist took out the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror to activate it.

Just then, Blackie stepped back. Terrible Supreme Saint saintly might radiated from its body, intimidating the Amazing Little Taoist.

“Su…supreme Saint…”

The Amazing Little Taoist’s expression changed and he couldn’t hold the mirror steadily anymore.

Blackie pushed up its thick chest and laughed domineeringly. “Now you know how strong I am, right!? Zhang Ruochen wants you to follow me because I’m strong and can teach you. Why aren’t you satisfied? So what if you have an Absolute Saint weapon? I can utter a word and destroy you.”

The Amazing Little Taoist quickly put the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror away. He had a serious expression because he didn’t dare to attack a Supreme Saint.

“Yes!” Blackie said. “As a Saint King, you should be obedient before a Supreme Saint. I’m already giving Zhang Ruochen respect by not making you kneel before me.”

Then Blackie sent a message to Zhang Ruochen, asking, “How do you want me to challenge him? Are you sure I can’t eat him? Not even a leg?”

Zhang Ruochen glared at Blackie. “I will cultivate inside the Truth Godly Palace for one year. Bring him around and take back the rest of Guanghan Field’s dojos. It’ll count as training!”
