Chapter 2186: Lotus of Transcendence

All the deities present understood that the reason Wargod Bian Zhuang’s avatar could defeat Jiatianxia. Not only did he have his weapon—Heavenly Mugwort Bell, but he also had the advantage of location—Celestial Court.

The entire Celestial Court was surrounded by 30,000-mile wide Celestial River. Therefore, as long as Wargod Bian Zhuang was in Celestial Court, he could borrow the power of Celestial River and convert it into his own power.

It might look like just an avatar, but in fact, it also held the power of Celestial River.

Jiatianxia was not a weakling but a ruler of a Fane. If the fight had occurred in any other place in the universe, it would have been impossible for Wargod Bian Zhuang’s avatar to defeat him.

His biggest mistake was underestimating the power of Celestial River and Wargod Bian Zhuang.

BOOM!

Wargod Bian Zhuang looked around with disdain. He held Heavenly Mugwort Bell and descended to the side of Blackheart Demonlord. A powerful divine might was naturally emitted.

Blackheart Demonlord’s heart trembled. Jiatianxi had already escaped after being severely injured. Who else could stand up for him?

Ever since he set foot on the path of cultivation, he had always been very calculative. He had taken every step carefully. Not only had he survived a Yuanhui Tribulation, but he had also made Blackdemon Realm one of the top 1,000 strongest Macroworlds in Celestial Court. He did not need to fear that his Macroworld would become a Battlefield of Merits.

Unexpectedly, he had been one step behind this time. He had wanted to speak on behalf of Heavenly Realm, but in the end, he had brought great trouble to himself. He might even get himself killed.

“I can spare your life if you kneel and apologize to Moon Goddess,” Bian Zhuang said coldly.

Blackheart Demonlord was instantly enraged. “Bian Zhuang, my strength is indeed inferior to yours, but I will not endure your insult. I am Blackdemon Realm’s ruler. Even if you are a Wargod of Celestial Palace, you have no right to kill me.”

Could any deities, who are known for their perseverance, ever kneel before others? No way!

A deity would rather choose death over humiliation.

“Ruler of Blackdemon Realm? My ass. To me, you are just a puny low-life. Since you want to die so badly, I will grant you your wish.” Bian Zhuang’s eyes were filled with contempt, and a terrifying killing intent radiated from his body.

Blackheart Demonlord made up his mind and immediately unleashed his Demonic Mark. Even though he knew that he was no match for him, he could not just sit there and wait to be slaughtered.

Most of the deities present could not help but shake their heads. No one dared to step out and stop Wargod Bian Zhuang, who displayed a domineering attitude at this moment.

Just as Wargod Bian Zhuang was about to make his move, a calm voice suddenly sounded, “Let’s stop here, Bian Zhuang. You should know the rules of Celestial Domain of Truth.”

As the voice trailed off, a streak of divine light flew out of Mountain of Truth. It transformed into a tall and burly figure, emitting a vast divine might.

The Precepts of the entire Celestial Domain of Truth became active. They all converged toward her as if the entire Celestial Domain was under her control.

The person who had appeared was none other than the lord of the Fane of Truth. At such a critical moment, she had chosen to appear and stop Wargod Bian Zhuang from killing Blackheart Demonlord.

Zhang Ruochen also left Mountain of Truth. He stood behind the lord of the Fane of Truth. However, he did not feel her divine might intimidating.

Zhang Ruochen was very calm in the face of the deities present. He did not show any signs of panic.

When he was on Mount Yueshen, he had fought the deities. Although he was in awe of the deities, he was not afraid.

In fact, Zhang Ruochen did not want the lord of the Fane of Truth to interfere. It would be great if Blackheart Demonlord died in the hands of Bian Zhuang.

Zhang Ruochen moved and appeared beside Moon Goddess. He cupped his fists to greet her. “Moon Goddess.”

“You did well this time. I have announced publicly that from now on, you will be the fourth prominent figure of Guanghan. You are second to Tree God and me,” Moon Goddess said.

Zhang Ruochen was surprised. He had not expected Moon Goddess to honor him with such a high status. This was not bad, and at least he would not have to listen to others in Guanghan.

It turned out that working with Moon Goddess was a very wise choice.

After a thought, Zhang Ruochen said, “Thank you, Moon Goddess.”

Moon Goddess nodded slightly. Then she looked at the lord of the Fane of Truth.

At this moment, all the deities present were staring at the lord of the Fane of Truth, including Bian Zhuang.

No one was surprised by the arrival of the lord of the Fane of Truth. After all, this was Celestial Domain of Truth. Bian Zhuang was about to kill Blackheart Demonlord, and it would be odd if she did not show up.

The lord of the Fane of Truth looked at Bian Zhuang and said, “You should know that fights between deities are not allowed in Celestial Domain of Truth. Yet, you are planning to kill one in my territory?”

“Well, I merely beat up two puny low lives, so it should not be counted as a fight between deities. Since the Lord of the Fane wants to interfere, I can spare his life. However, he will have to pay the price for blaspheming Moon Goddess,” said Wargod Bian Zhuang.

The lord of the Fane of Truth said, “This is between the two of you. It’s none of my business. But I will not allow another fight between deities to erupt in Celestial Domain of Truth.”

As the lord of the Fane of Truth spoke, she released an invisible aura enveloping Sea of Truth. There was a slight change in the expression among the deities.

Anyone could clearly feel the aura of the lord of the Fane of Truth. That kind of pressure was far greater than that of the avatar of Wargod Bian Zhuang.

Wargod Bian Zhuang narrowed his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Don’t worry. I know what I should do.”

Then, Wargod Bian Zhuang looked at Blackheart Demonlord and said, “Blackheart, take out a stalk of Divine Herb as compensation to Moon Goddess. Don’t tell me that you have none. You know well you can’t hide certain things from me.”

Not long ago, Blackheart Demonlord had left Celestial Court. When he returned to cross Celestial River, Wargod Bian Zhuang had sensed the presence of the Divine Herb with him.

Blackheart Demonlord’s eyes darkened. He had not expected Wargod Bian Zhuang would make such as demanding request: asking for a Divine Herb.

Divine Herb was precious. They were rarely found even in the eternal Macroworlds. They were extremely useful to deities.

Just like back then, Moon Goddess had regained most of her divine power by refining only a leaf—the Moon Leaf—from Sacred Seven-star Lingzhi.

It could be said that the value of any Divine Herbs was immeasurable.

Blackheart Demonlord indeed had a stalk of Divine Herb on him. It was something that he had obtained from a dangerous unexplored region in the universe after spending a great deal of efforts.

Tens of thousands of years ago, Blackheart Demonlord had discovered this stalk of Divine Herb. It was only recently that the Divine Herb had finally matured.

To prevent others from discovering the existence of the Divine Herb, Blackheart Demonlord had spent great effort. He had waited quietly for tens of thousands of years. When he went to collect it, he had even suffered a heavy injury and had almost died in that unexplored region in the universe.

How could Blackheart Demonlord be willing to hand it over to others?

Seeing that Blackheart Demonlord did not speak for a long time, Wargod Bian Zhuang said coldly, “What? You refuse? Then you’d better stay in Celestial Domain of Truth forever.”

When Blackheart Demonlord heard the Wargod, his heart sank to the bottom. He was aware that if he did not hand over the Divine Herb today, Wargod Bian Zhuang would not give up.

Perhaps, from the beginning, Bian Zhuang had been targetting him for that Divine Herb.

Stay in Celestial Domain of Truth forever? No.

Forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart, Blackheart Demonlord put on a sullen smile. “Moon Goddess’s return to Celestial Court is something worth celebrating. This Divine Herb is a token of my appreciation.”

As he spoke, Blackheart Demonlord took out a Saint Jade box, held it with divine power, delivering it to Moon Goddess.

Moon Goddess glanced at Blackheart Demonlord and didn’t reject him.

No one would ever reject a Divine Herb.

She took the box and opened it.

Immediately, seven-colored divine light radiated from the box, and the aura of the Divine Herb spread in all directions.

“This is… Lotus of Transcendence!”

Some deities could not help but exclaim.

Their eyes lit up; they could not contain their desire. Lotus of Transcendence was a treasure that they were eager to obtain.

It was too special. As the name implied, it could help a deity transcend a Yuanhui Tribulation. It would greatly increase the success rate.

According to the experience of the predecessors, by refining a Lotus of Transcendence, the success rate of tribulation transcendence would be raised by 30 percent .

Yuan Hui tribulations faced by deities would only get more terrifying. Some would go to great lengths for such an item even if it would only bring a 10 percent increase in success rate, not to mention 30 percent.

The heart of Blackheart Demonlord was heavy. He had wanted to use Lotus of Transcendence in his second Yuanhui Tribulation. It had great significance for him.

If it were some other type of Divine Herb, Blackheart Demonlord would not have kept it. When he had gotten his hands on those, he would have already refined them to increase his own strength.

He had waited for tens of thousands of years and risked his life to get this Divine Herb. Yet, in the end, he ended up being a cat’s paw; It was truly pathetic.

“Nice. Soon, Moon Goddess will undergo her fourth Yuanhui Tribulation. This Lotus of Transcendence will be useful.” Wargod Bian Zhuang smiled in satisfaction. When he looked at Moon Goddess, he even had a fawning expression.

All the deities were speechless upon seeing such an expression on the face of a big shot like him. They felt that he did not have the dignity an elite should have.

Zhang Ruochen was struck by his words. She was about to face her fourth Yuanhui Tribulation, which meant that Moon Goddess had lived for almost 500,000 years. She really was an ancient deity.

There were not many ancient deities like Moon Goddess in both the Celestial Court and Infernal Court.

After all, more than half of the deities could not survive their first Yuanhui Tribulation. The deities who had survived their second Yuanhui Tribulation were even fewer. They were usually powerful enough to shake the heavens, and almost all of them had mastered a Canon.

“With the help of the Lotus of Transcendence, Moon Goddess will definitely survive her fourth Yuanhui Tribulation. Her cultivation base will be even stronger. Congratulations!”

Many deities congratulate Moon Goddess.

With Moon Goddess’s power, once she had survived her fourth Yuanhui Tribulation, not many would dare to provoke her.

In this way, Guanghan Realm would have nothing to worry about for the next 129,600 years.

A faint smile appeared on Moon Goddess’ icy-cold face. This Divine Herb was indeed very useful to her. In fact, even if Bian Zhuang had not made a move, she had planned to teach Blackheart Demonlord a lesson personally.

This Lotus of Transcendence could be considered an unexpected gain.

Seeing the smile on Moon Goddess’ face, Wargod Bian Zhuang could not help but feel elated. To be able to make Moon Goddess smile, no matter how much he did, it was all worth it.

Without the binding from Wargod Bian Zhuang’s aura, Blackheart Demonlord did not stay. He immediately turned into a streak of Demonic Light and sped away.

He had lost his face this time. No matter what, he could not stay in Celestial Domain of Truth any longer.

However, he was not stronger than Bian Zhuang. Hence, no matter how angry he was, he could only endure it for now.

‘Blackheart Demonlord, serve you right. It’s a good thing that your life is spared. I will behead you one day to pay tribute to the deceased ancestors in Kunlun,’ Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.

He then turned his gaze to Empress Chi Yao, who was not far away. He could not help but have mixed feelings.

At this time, Empress Chi Yao also looked over. Her phoenix eyes were like two cold stars in the universe, devoid of any emotion.

“You’ve made great progress. Keep up the good work. I’ll wait for your ascension to Godhood.”

After saying this, Empress Chi Yao returned to the Fane of Truth.

Zhang Ruochen wanted to ask her why she treated Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue that way. Unfortunately, she did not give him a chance to speak.

“Chi Yao, it won’t take long.”

Zhang Ruochen calmed his thoughts. If he wanted to face Chi Yao directly, he needed to become stronger.

Everyone present was a deity. Even though Zhang Ruochen was not afraid, he could not help but feel uncomfortable. He got off alone after bidding Moon Goddess and the lord of the Fane of Truth goodbye.

Although many deities cared about Zhang Ruochen’s reward, no one dared to do anything since Moon Goddess and Bian Zhuang were there.

“Congratulations, bro. You’ve crossed tenth regions of Sea of Truth and ascend Mountain of Truth.”

Feng Yan, Xiang Chunan, and the others immediately came over to greet him.

Xiang Chunan said excitedly, “Bro, why are you here with my master’s wife?”

“I’m surprised to learn that your master’s wife is actually the Lord of the Fane of Truth. I could not help but be curious about your master’s identity,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Feng Yan was shocked. “His master’s wife is the Lord of the Fane of Truth?”

Xiang Chunan and Feng Xi were also surprised.

Qing Sixue was the only one who remained calm. Apparently, she knew it.

With her cultivation base and strength, it made sense that her parents would let her know it.

“Only the Lord of the Fane can teach such a talented genius on the Path of Truth.” Feng Xi looked enlightened.

To be able to become the Lord of the Fane of Truth, it was certain that her achievements on the Path of Truth had reached an unimaginable level. She must have mastered a great portion of Canon of Truth.

Xiang Chunan laughed and said, “Let’s talk about it later. Let’s find a place and have a few drinks to celebrate.”

“Chunan is right. To celebrate your ascent of Mountain of Truth, we must drink plenty. The drinks are on me,” Feng Yan said with a smile.

When Zhang Ruochen was about to speak, he suddenly saw a graceful figure. “You guys go find a place first. I have something to take care of. I’ll join you later,” he said.

As soon as he finished talking, Zhang Ruochen executed Great Dimensional Shift and disappeared into thin air.

“Where are you going, bro?” Xiang Chunan looked puzzled.

Feng Yan said, “It must be something very important. We just wait for him in a restaurant.”

Immediately, they set off to the best restaurant in Celestial Domain of Truth. Since it was a celebration for Zhang Ruochen, Feng Yan was generous.

On the other side, a figure flashed, quickly moving away from Sea of Truth, heading to the Fane of Truth.

“Fairy Lian Xi, long time no see. How have you been?”

Zhang Ruochen’s voice rang out. He appeared out of thin air and blocked her way.

It was none other than the honorable Scioness of Soul Realm, King Daxi.

Seeing Zhang Ruochen, King Daxi could not help but frown slightly. Ever since Shang Ziyan had died at Zhang Ruochen’s hands, she had left Kunlun for self-cultivation in Soul Realm. It was not until recently that she came to Celestial Domain of Truth.

She had intended to avoid him, but she did not expect to get noticed by Zhang Ruochen.

King Daxi said, “Zhang Ruochen, what are you planning to do? This is Celestial Domain of Truth. ”

“You don’t have to be so nervous. I’m not here to harm you. I just have a few questions,” Zhang Ruochen said calmly.

King Daxi said indifferently, “There’s no need for me to answer any of your questions.”

As soon as King Daxi finished her words, she wanted to leave directly. She didn’t want to be alone with Zhang Ruochen for even a moment.

“Really? I have a Projection Scroll here. It has recorded the scene of you killing a large number of cultivators in Heavenly Realm.” Zhang Ruochen took out a Projection Scroll as he spoke.

He had originally planted a terrifying flaming bug into King Daxi’s body, but he could no longer sense it now.

Obviously, King Daxi had sought help from some elite to get rid of all the flaming bugs after returning to Soul Realm.

However, this Projection Scroll was enough to make King Daxi yield.

Furthermore, Zhang Ruochen had a treasure that was extremely important to King Daxi. He was not afraid that she wouldn’t listen to him.

He needed the necessary means to deal with his enemies. He could not expect his enemies to spill the beans.

King Daxi had been Zhang Ruochen’s hidden pawn for long, and the time for her to be useful was now.
