Chapter 2425: Guye

Zhang Ruochen ignored the discussions and stares of the crowd. He sat on a chair and closed his eyes to recuperate. He recalled the battle with Yan Wushen and tries to comprehend what he had experienced.

Although he has been invaded by his inner demon, his rationality had not completely disappeared at that time.

It was The Heart of Truth that had helped him preserve his last shred of clarity.

After the battle ended, Zhang Ruochen recovered with The Heart of Truth when Wargod Bloodximius planned to go Fortune Palace and ask Reverend to suppress his inner devil with Path of Destiny.

However, after the assassination of Lady Wind by Avīci Pavilion, the life-and-death battle between him and Yan Wushen happened at the same time. It was inevitable that people would suspect the connection between the two events. Therefore, Zhang Ruochen played along and pretended that he didn’t know what happened, he blamed everything on his inner demons.

In the fight with Yan Wushen, Zhang Ruochen was unprecedentedly free and unrestrained. He was like a dragon soaring in the sky, displaying what he had learned in his life to his heart’s content. He had a lot of enlightenment and needed to digest it carefully.

“Even if I can hide it from others, I couldn’t be able to hide it from Grandpa.”

Zhang Ruochen heart trembled slightly after carefully recalling the look in the eyes of Wargod Bloodximius. He felt that those eyes seemed to have the power to see through all mysteries.

Rustle.

A faint fragrance wafted over.

There was a faint sound of footsteps.

Zhang Ruochen did not look back or release his spiritual power. However, a picturesque figure automatically appeared in his mind. She was dressed in red, her clothes fluttering in the wind. Her face was hidden in the illusion. Her posture was hidden between precepts of heaven and earth, like a gust of wind and Qi.

She was like a red dress walking without a body.

However, her posture was real.

“Master Ruochen, have you heard of Tome of the Divines?” Guye Jing said from behind him.

The voice was like a young girl’s, cheerful and pleasant to the ear. It was also like a child’s voice, clear and innocent. If you mused for some time, her voice was like it had experienced boundless secular world and was full of life experiences.

It was just a simple question, but it gave Zhang Ruochen many wonderful feelings.

In Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, among Luo Sha’s close friends, she was the most powerful one. He could not see through her cultivation. Besides that, she could disperse Feng Qingli’s spiritual power attack with one sleeve. It proved that her strength was above Feng Qingli’s.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Of course, I’ve heard of it. It’s one of the six Heavenly Tome of Destiny in Fane of Destiny. Legend has it that the name of every cultivator in the world who has a 10% chance of becoming a god will appear on it automatically.”

“Tome of the Divines has grades A, B, C, and D. Grade A is the best. More than 70% of cultivators who can enter this grade could become a god. Master Ruochen is ranked 87th in Grade D. The probability of becoming a god is less than 20% .”

Guye Jing slowly said while reaching 10 feet away from Zhang Ruochen.

The faint fragrance was getting stronger.

Zhang Ruochen was not very interested in Tome of the Divines. He did not think that this Heavenly Tome was really that bizarre. How could a mere scroll of Heavenly Tome contain the entire universe’s information in it?

However, he was still a little surprised when he heard that his ranking on Tome of the Divines was so low.

Guye Jing quietly smiled and said, “It’s really incredible that a world-shaking Yuanhui-level genius is only Grade D.”

The laughter did not have a hint of mockery.

It was as if she was curious and interested.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Yes, it’s unbelievable.”

“The ranking of Tome of the Divines is not fixed. The probability of becoming a god will gradually increase if you can make up for your own shortcomings and treat the problem right,” Guye Jing said.

Zhang Ruochen understood that this was her purpose.

He said, “Based on Fairy Guye’s opinion, what flaws do I have to make up for?”

“Don’t call me a fairy. You can call me demoness,” Guye Jing said.

Zhang Ruochen finally raised his head and glanced at her. His heart jumped in fear.

He saw red clouds in the sky. Strands of demonic Qi twisted inside the red sheer. He couldn’t see her face clearly. He could only feel the bone-piercing coldness and the despairing aura of death.

The aura of death was stronger than Ghost, Deathkin, Bone clan, and Deathkin Supreme Saints.

Earlier, Luo Sha had introduced Guye Jing. Luo Sha said that she came from the Rāhu Mountains. Legend had it that it was the most dangerous place in Rakshasa.

After the death of Rāhu, the Demon Patriarch, his body collapsed and condensed into a realm.

Guye Jing said, “Inner demon! I heard that you went to fight Yan Wushen because you lost your mind after being invaded by your inner demon. Your inner demon has become the biggest obstacle on your path to divinity.”

Zhang Ruochen was very calm. He said, “Can you help me get rid of my inner demon?”

“If you go to the Rāhu Mountains with me, it won’t be difficult to get rid of your inner demon,” Guye Jing said.

Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment and said, “What price do I have to pay?”

“I heard that Master Ruochen has a lot of Demonstone Engraving. I want to borrow them to study for a while,” Guye Jing said.

So she was here for Demonstone Engraving.

Zhang Ruochen neither admitted that he had the Demonstone Engraving nor denied it, “The Rāhu Mountains is an amazing place. It must contain countless demonic techniques. I think the cultivation techniques that you’re cultivating are not inferior to Demonstone Engraving.”

Guye Jing could understand Zhang Ruochen’s tactful refusal, “The techniques I cultivate are called Nekromanteia Portrait. They are indeed not inferior to Demonstone Engraving. However, my ranking on Tome of the Divines is far from Xuemo.”

“Xuemo?”

Zhang Ruochen thought for a while and said, “Is his ranking on Tome of the Divines very high?”

“Second in Grade A,” Gu Shejing said.

Zhang Ruochen suddenly understood.

Xuemo had cultivated a little more than a thousand years only, but he was able to rank so high on Tome of the Divines with the cultivation in Hundred-Shackle Realm. Everyone would naturally attribute all of this to Demonstone Engraving.

They thought that it was because he cultivated nine engravings at the same time.

Zhang Ruochen sighed, “You must have checked me since you know my ranking on Tome of the Divines. Well then, you should know that it was a matter of my previous life that I was once a cultivator in Kunlun’s field. In my previous life, I had already fallen. Even if I had Demonstone Engraving, I would have lost it.”

“Master Ruochen, you don’t have to reject yet. You can think about it. The Rāhu Mountains really has a way to help you get rid of your inner demon.”

After Guye Jing left, she suddenly said “Let me remind you, the first in Grade A of Tome of the Divines is Yuan Qianmo. He has a close relationship with Yan Zhexian.”

The fragrance disappeared, and she was gone.

Zhang Ruochen knew very well that his inner demon was indeed a hindrance to his path to divinity. However, since The Heart of Truth could help him block his inner demon, he didn’t have to worry too much at the moment.

Besides, Wargod Bloodximius had once said that Path of Destiny could suppress the inner demon.

Zhang Ruochen was planning to spend more energy comprehending the Path of Destiny. It was used to deal with inner demons as well as to be ready to accept the Canon of Destiny.

Path of Destiny was not strong enough to withstand Canon of Destiny.

This was probably the reason why Fukurokuju had not given him 30 percent of Canon of Destiny.

As for what Guye Jing had said before she left, Zhang Ruochen didn’t take it personally.

That was because Zhang Ruochen planned to cultivate in seclusion for the next period of time.

First, to heal his injuries.

Second, to break through the full strength of Yin-yang Five-Elements Saintwill.

Third, to break through the Great Perfection of Hundred-Shackle Realm. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

Once he reached the Great Perfection of Hundred-Shackle Realm, the power of Demigod-level physique would be fully released. At that time, Zhang Ruochen might not be invincible under divinity, but he didn’t have to fear anyone else.

“Yuan Qianmo! I hope he’s not a calculative person as he’s someone who got first place in Grade A in Tome of the Divines.” Zhang Ruochen did not want to have a strong enemy out of nowhere.

If Yan Wushen heard Zhang Ruochen’s words, the coffin would not be able to hold him down, “You call this calculative? You’ve fought me to death when it’s just a marriage bestowed by Reverend. Now, you have made Yan Zhexian pregnant. Why can’t Yuan Qianmo kill you to appease his hatred?”

Luo Sha walked over with a smile and asked curiously, “What did Jing say to you?”

“She wants to borrow Demonstone Engraving,” Zhang Ruochen said straightforwardly.

Luo Sha understood how much Zhang Ruochen valued the inheritance of Kunlun’s field. How could he let it pass to the cultivators of Infernal Court? So she said, “I’ll talk to her.”

“No need. I’ve already rejected her,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Luo Sha said, “You don’t know her. She will take what she wants at any cost. Fortunately, I can still talk to her. Maybe I can dispel her thoughts.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t stop her.

Luo Sha’s identity was indeed extraordinary. Her father was the Emperor of Rakshasa, and her master was a deity. Even if Guye Jing came from The Rāhu Mountains, she would still be afraid.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t ask why Luo Sha and Guye Jing could become best friends and whether they were really that close.

Boom

South Wing let out a deafening noise. Countless cultivators let out long howls as if something incredible had happened.

“What happened? Yan Wushen has already died, but they’re still so excited? Didn’t the engagement ceremony cancel?”

“Are they trying to cause trouble?”

...

The guests who had come to attend Zhang Ruochen and Luo Sha’s engagement ceremony were all very curious. They immediately sent people to gather information.

A moment later, the cultivator who had gone to gather information returned.

“What exactly happened?” Supreme Saint Xueqi asked.

The cultivator who had gathered information said, “It’s said that the oracle of Mount Destiny has arrived and is preparing to bring Pan Ruo back.”

“They’re going to the fane now?” Supreme Saint Xueqi asked in shock.

“Yes.”

“Only her?”

“Yes.”

All the cultivators in North Wing were shocked.

Fuurei was stabbed to death, and the oracle of Mount Destiny immediately came to welcome Pan Ruo. What did this mean?

Could it be that Pan Ruo was going to benefit from this misfortune and become the new Scioness?

This was no longer a possibility, but a sure thing.

Pan Ruo becoming a Scioness had too much of an impact. The representatives of the three major forces of the lower three clans were all deep in thought. Then, they carved out communication talismans and spread the news like a meteor shower.

There were cheers and acclaims from South Wing to North Wing.

Pan Ruo was as graceful as jade. She was standing straight and dignified. She wore a festive red dress and walked into North Wing. Behind her were a large group of cultivators from the Nether clan and Deathkin.

The oracle of Mount Destiny was bathed in starlight. He stood aside and waited.

Everyone looked at Pan Ruo and whispered to each other.

“What’s she doing in North Wing?”

“Better show some respect to the new Scioness. Be careful not to get into trouble later.”

“Look at how smug the Deathkins and Nether clan are. It looks like Pan Ruo came here to show off.”

Zhang Ruochen and Luo Sha walked side by side to greet them.

Pan Ruo stared at them, watching them approach from afar. Her face was cold and emotionless, like an iron-and-stone face.

Luo Sha was tall and had a charming smile on her face. She asked, “Congratulations, your highness. It seems that you are going to take over the position of Scioness. May I know why you are here?”

Pan Ruo looked at Luo Sha for a long time and said, “Princess Luo Sha is extremely beautiful and charming. She is indeed the favorite of all men in the world. It is Zhang Ruochen’s fortune to be able to marry you.”

Luo Sha’s red lips were crystal clear. She slightly raised the corners of her mouth and said, “Chen is a peerless genius that only appears once in a Yuanhui Period. It is my pleasure to be able to marry him.”

Zhang Ruochen’s heart tightened. Luo Sha was a bit abnormal.

Why did she suddenly become so intimate and call him “Chen”?

Could she have guessed something?

Zhang Ruochen and Pan Ruo’s expressions didn’t change, but they seemed tense and unnatural.

“Your Highness Pan Ruo too had the chance to marry a Yuanhui-level genius. What a pity, what a pity!” Luo Sha said.

Pan Ruo walked to a jade table and picked up the wine on the table. She filled three cups and picked up one of them, “I’m here to toast the two newlyweds, especially Zhang Ruochen. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been Destiny Scioness. What should I wish for the two of you? I wish the two of you a happy marriage for a hundred years.”

With that, Pan Ruo downed the wine in one gulp.

Behind her, the cultivators of Nether clan and Deathkin laughed loudly.

“Wishing you a harmonious union lasting a hundred years! Haha!”

Everyone could see that there was a hidden meaning in her words. She was clearly declaring war on Zhang Ruochen. A hundred years of harmony was fine between mortals, but to a cultivator in Supreme Saint realm, a hundred years was just a snap of the fingers.

Pan Ruo left with the oracle.

The cultivators who attended the engagement ceremony between her and Yan Wushen did not leave. Instead, they became even more jubilant, drinking and laughing.

Not long after, Wargod Bloodximius, Blood Empress, Luo Yan, Amane, and other gods arrived at the outer hall of Fortune Palace. Under the witness of Fukurokuju, Zhang Ruochen and Luo Sha completed the engagement ceremony.

The time of the official marriage needed to be discussed separately.

Unlike an engagement, the official marriage could not be carried out hastily. There were many things to prepare.

After the engagement ceremony ended.

In Wargod Bloodximius’ Divine Plane, he summoned Zhang Ruochen alone and asked, “Have you comprehended the true meaning of Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill after the battle with Yan Wushen?”

This sentence exposed Zhang Ruochen.

What nonsense about his inner demons had invaded his mind, making him forget the battle process? Obviously, it could not deceive Wargod Bloodximius.
