God Emperor

Chapter 1557: Truth Heavenly Domain

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The purple godly stone was taken from Lord Lingquan. Zhang Ruochen had studied it for a long time without figuring out its nature. He only sensed that it contained strong divine power inside.

It was extremely hard. Even the Abyss Ancient Sword couldn’t leave a mark on it.

According to Lord Lingquan, it was a purple star collected near a black hole and a weapon saint master produced this stone.

But Ling Xiu seemed to discover something else.

“Senior, do you know what this is?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Ling Xiu’s eyes were a bit solemn. Nodding, he said, “It’s related to the Stone Race, one of the three races of Hell World. If I guess correctly, this should be part of a Stone Race’s god and...a very important part too.”

“Is this like a divine bone?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“I’m afraid it’s more valuable than a divine bone. After all, gods of the Stone Race are immortal. Even if they’re broken, they can also reform their body. It’s not easy to get a stone like this from their body.”

Ling Xiu held the purple godly stone before his fingers and opened his Heavenly Eyes to study it. “There are densely woven rules inside the stone. They’re much more advanced than Rules of Saintly Way. If the owner of this stone is still alive, he must be a terrifying existence.”

If even a Spiritual Power Supreme Saint found him terrifying, then it must be someone like a taboo.

“Can you embed this onto the Abyss Ancient Sword?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Ling Xiu shook his head. “This is related to weaponry and I’m the worst at that. Plus, the Abyss Ancient Sword’s material is practically divine metal. It’s not easy to embed the purple godly stone into the sword.”

Everyone had their specialties. Even a Supreme Saint wasn’t all-powerful.

Zhang Ruochen put the Abyss Ancient Sword and purple godly stone away. He prepared to have the sword masters of the Divine Sword Land try. After all, the Divine Sword Land could fix the broken Abyss Ancient Sword back then. Embedding a purple godly stone shouldn’t be hard.

These past few days, Su Jing, Su Qingling, Ling Mi, Wen Shucheng, Mu Lingxi, and the others had all recovered. They came to the Demonic Pavilion to bid farewell with Ling Xiu and Ling Feiyu.

Zhang Ruochen sat on the side. After Su Jing and Ling Xiu were done being formal, he finally said, “After Wu Hao’s death, someone has to fill his spot. If you want to be thankful, how about we act more sincere and give this spot to Liku Sacred Domain?”

Su Jing was a bit hesitant. After all, the chance to study in the Truth Pavilion was extremely valuable. How could they share it with cultivators of Kunlun’s Field?

Ling Feiyu knew that Zhang Ruochen was trying to help her get the chance.

Ling Xiu looked at Zhang Ruochen and smiled in satisfaction. He almost said, Good boy! My treatment of you hasn’t gone to waste. You’re great to Feiyu!

Su Jing was a lord, after all, and reacted quickly. Smiling, he said, “Guanghan Field indeed owes Supreme Saint Ling Xiu greatly. Using a spot as repayment is necessary. However, I’m afraid such a big matter must be reported to my father or the Moon Goddess before making a decision.”

Anyone could tell that Su Jing was trying to push it off.

“Then, I’ll send a message to the Moon Goddess and have her decide.”

Zhang Ruochen was decisive. He immediately inscribed a communication rune and sent it out.

A while later, another communication rune flew into the pavilion and landed in Zhang Ruochen’s hands. Seeing the content, Zhang Ruochen smiled. “The Moon Goddess has agreed to my proposal.”

“How is that possible?”

Su Jing was shocked inside. He found it incredible and hurriedly walked towards Zhang Ruochen. “Let me see.”

Zhang Ruochen casually handed him the communication rune.

The divine words on the rune were indeed imprinted with the Moon Goddess’s spiritual intent. Su Jing’s heart rose and fell like waves. He was shocked.

When he looked at Zhang Ruochen, Su Jing felt even more pressure.

This young man wasn’t just a half-step Saint King. He was able to communicate directly with the Moon Goddess and she even agreed to his slightly offensive suggestion.

Even with Su Jing’s current cultivation and status, he still didn’t qualify to speak directly with the Moon Goddess.

What did this mean?

This meant that Zhang Ruochen was more important to the Moon Goddess than imagined. No wonder she attacked the Merits Godly Palace to save him.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t surprised.

The Moon Goddess had taken away the moon leaf from the Seven-star Sacred Tuber and one million saintly sources. If she didn’t even agree to this small request, she would be too stingy.

Half a day later.

Ling Feiyu and Zhang Ruochen’s group set off toward the Merits Godly Palace together.

Along the way, Su Jing complained to Zhang Ruochen, “Empress Chi Yao killed a god of Hell World and received 20 spots to the Truth Godly Palace. Guanghan Field only has six and we gave another one to Kunlun’s Field. Zhang Ruochen, this isn’t fair!”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t feel any pressure beside Su Jing. “I heard that the spots for the Truth Godly palace aren’t only open to the public. Cultivators can also fight for it themselves.”

“That’s true. The Truth Godly Palace has a reward system for true prides, but...it’s too hard! All these years, no cultivator from Guanghan Field has succeeded.”

Then he added, “What, you want to try?”

“The Sea of Truth, Mountain of Truth, Bridge of Truth,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Any cultivator who studies in the Truth Godly Palace will want to try. Since I’m a member of Guanghan Field now, I should try to get some spots for us.”

Su Jing didn’t have much hope. But thinking of Zhang Ruochen’s terrifying talent and his status as number one on the Saints Merits Rank, Su Jing gradually grew hopeful.

Others couldn’t do it, but this guy might be able to.

As if thinking of something, Zhang Ruochen asked, “Uncle Jing, I have a question. Guanghan Field and Kunlun’s Field suffered great losses in the merits battle and killed so many cultivators of Hell World. How come Kunlun’s Field could receive so many treasures from the Merits Godly Palace but Guanghan Field couldn’t?”

Su Jing chuckled bitterly. Clearly, he wasn’t happy either, but he didn’t say anything. He just shook his head.

“It’s related to me?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Seeing that he’d already guessed it, Su Jing stopped hiding it. “It’s alright to tell you, since you’ll find out sooner or later. That day, the Moon Goddess offended the entire Merits Godly Palace to save you. To punish Guanghan Field, they didn’t give us what they should’ve.

“Zhang Ruochen, you don’t have to worry. They’ve targeted Guanghan Field many, many times. Even if it wasn’t you, they would find another excuse to continue holding us down.”

Because of him, the record created by the lives of hundreds of cultivators couldn’t be repaid. How could Zhang Ruochen not care?

His eyes sharpened. “The Merits Godly Palace is so unfair. We should take it down...”

“In Heaven World, you should never blaspheme gods or godly palaces. Even if you feel hatred, you can only hide it in your heart. You must endure it.”

Su Jing hurriedly stopped Zhang Ruochen. The Moon Goddess could say rebellious things about a godly palace, because with her strong abilities, the Merits Godly Palace couldn’t do anything to her.

But if Zhang Ruochen said it and a god from the Merits Godly Palace heard, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath to calm his anger. “One day, I will make the Merits Godly Palace pay back what it owes Guanghan Field. Doesn’t Shang Ziyan want to kill me? Let’s see who succeeds first.”

The next few days, the group traveled quickly.

Zhang Ruochen focused entirely on cultivating. He cultivated palm techniques while studying the Rules of the Palm Way. He wanted to reach minor or even major completion of the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm’s 11th palm.”

...

The Truth Godly Palace and Merits Godly Palace were the same. They both had super-high statuses in Heaven World. This was why it could take up an entire heavenly domain, known as the Truth Heavenly Domain.

The Truth Heavenly Domain wasn’t as vast as the Shatuo Heavenly Domain, but the environment was more than ten times better. It was a paradise that all cultivators in the universe yearned for. Many gods also cultivated here when they were young and left behind their personal residences and relics.

It wasn’t easy to enter the Truth Godly Palace and cultivate in the Truth Heavenly Domain. The strict requirements were able to stop 99% of all prides outside.

Of course, other than entering the Truth Godly Palace and becoming a disciple, the palace also passed out spots to the major worlds. The stronger a world was, the higher the merits, the more spots they would receive.

For example, Guanghan Field usually only received three spots every ten years.

But some stronger worlds would get spots every month—ten or hundreds of times more than Guanghan Field. This way, the stronger worlds became stronger and the weaker worlds became weaker.

If a weak world wanted to become stronger, they would have to work ten or a hundred times harder, and also receive a great opportunity.

At the edge of the Truth Heavenly Domain, there was a vast plain with a dozen spatial transmission formations. Beams of light flashed inside. Every moment, cultivators from the various worlds would walk out.

Whoosh!

As light flashed, Su Jing, Zhang Ruochen, and the others appeared in one formation. After walking out, a disciple from the Truth Godly Palace came to check their truth badges.

When the Truth Godly Palace had handed out spots, they’d also sent six truth badges to Guanghan Field.

The disciple was named Han Shang. He seemed to be in his thirties and looked quite plain. After checking the six badges, his expression grew disdainful. Chuckling, he said, “Oh, you’re from Guanghan Field, ha. Go and register over there. The senior who led them here, go get a temporary badge. If cultivators without badges are discovered, they may be driven out or even punished by death.”

The scorn in, “Oh, you’re from Guanghan Field” felt grating to all the Guanghan Field cultivators present.

So what if he was from the Truth Godly Palace?

Han Shang could see that they were upset and grew even more scornful. Cultivators from the third to last world, he thought. They think they’re the best in their own worlds, but they’re nothing in the Truth Heavenly Domain. The world might become a battlefield soon and get destroyed in war, disappearing from Heaven World. There’s no need to interact with people from such a weak world.

Just then, a voice came from the distance. “Deity Wang Xu of Ruiya Field has arrived. Han Shang, hurry and go welcome him.”

“Deity Wang Xu has come to cultivate again. This is great. I’ve always been the one to welcome him and many senior and junior sisters who look up to him have been jealous. I can’t let them beat me this time. It’s not easy to interact with him.”

Han Shang was overjoyed. Ignoring Zhang Ruochen’s group, he hurried into the distance.

Mu Lingxi stood beside Zhang Ruochen. Arms crossed, she watched this theatrical scene and found it laughable. “It seems that the disciples of the Truth Godly Palace aren’t all proud elites. There are also lowly people who kiss up to others.”
