Chapter 1572: Ocean of Truth

Feng Yan stood in the distance, dry coughing a bit and smiling. “You guys only haven’t seen each other for a couple of days. Do you really need to hug each other for that long?”

Ling Feiyu, Su Qingling, Wen Shusheng, and Ling Mi were also standing at the edge of Saint Martial Field, and they all had different facial expressions.

Zhang Ruochen tried to look calmer and stopped hugging Mu Lingxi. He looked to Feng Yan and said, “Who are you?”

“Let me introduce myself again. I’m Feng Yan, a first disciple from Truth Godly Palace. I’ve been waiting for you here for three days, Zhang Ruochen. Would you like to sit down and have a talk with me?”

Feng Yan was smiling the entire time.

Zhang Ruochen saw Feng Yu’s hospitality and the guest treatment the other monks from Guanghan Field got, so he nodded and followed Feng Yan to a bamboo pavilion.

Two maidens in white served Zhang Ruochen and Feng Yan some wine.

“I know you love to drink, so I bought a pot of Fairy Flower. This was made of the pedals of the saint flowers collected by Ji Fanxin, Fairy of Hundred Flowers. It’s invaluable.” Feng Yan smiled.

The fragrance was refreshing.

Hundreds of flowers blossomed in the air, and the pedals waved in the air, following the breeze.

Obviously, Feng Yan thought Zhang Ruochen loved alcohol because he had Dragon Spirits Mad Oxen Wine.

“Drink?” Zhang Ruochen said. “Unfortunately, I don’t like to drink. If I could, I wouldn’t drink at all.”

“Really?”

Feng Yan waved his hands to signal the maidens to take the wine away, and then, he asked them to bring a pot of tea.

Zhang Ruochen only needed to sip the tea a bit to notice how incredible the tea was. It could help monks comprehend saintly way, so it must be of the same value as ‘Fairy Flower.’

Both the wine and the tea are inaccessible to ordinary monks. Feng Yan must come from a great power, probably an ancient race with a God, Zhang Ruochen thought.

Zhang Ruochen said, “I’m curious. Do all the first-class disciples from Truth Godly Palace have a saint island around the godly palace?”

Feng Yan shook his head and said, “Not that easy. The owner of this saint island is my sister, and she’s the disciple of a God from Truth Godly Palace. She’s way more prominent than I am.”

“I see,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Feng Yan said, “Actually, I invited you over because I hope we can be friends.”

“Why? We barely know each other,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Feng Yan smiled and said, “I make friends with people because of their vibe, not because of something material. Brother Zhang, you’ve refined in Truth Godly Palace for thirteen days already. How do you like this place?”

“Incredible,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Feng Yan said, “However, you only have a bit more than half a month left until you have to leave. Don’t you want more time to refine?”

“You want to recruit me into Truth Godly Palace?” Zhang Ruochen said.

“No.”

Feng Yan shook his head and said, “I told you, I don’t have any material purposes when I’m making friends. Even if I do sometimes, I’ll tell them straight away. Besides, even if you want to join Truth Godly Palace, I’d suggest you don’t do it.”

“Why not?”

Zhang Ruochen was a bit surprised.

Feng Yan said, “You’ve been here for some time now, so you should’ve seen how cruel this place is. Actually, the competition among the disciples from Truth Godly Palace is fiercer. Even the disciples from Truth Godly Palace will find it hard to refine in the godly palace.”

As a matter of fact, Zhang Ruochen also didn’t want to join Truth Godly Palace, so he didn’t ask any further questions.

“Then how can I get more time to refine?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Feng Yan said, “There’re two ways.

“The first one is to finish the tasks from Truth Godly Palace, for example, killing a monk from Hell World on the merits battlefield, or finding a precious saint pill, or teaching in some primitive large fields.

“As for the second one... There’s a place called Ocean of Truth which is eight thousand miles away from Truth Godly Palace. There’re ten levels of ocean domains. If you pull through the first domain, you can gain an additional month, and the second domain will give you two additional months, and the third domain will give you four additional months, so on and so forth. If you can get through all ten ocean domains, you can get eighty-five years and three additional months.”

Zhang Ruochen had heard about Ocean of Truth before he came here, but he was still thrilled by why it mattered so much.

Every refining day in Truth Godly Palace was precious. Even a mediocre monk could become a supreme saint if he could refine in the palace for eighty-five years and three months.

Who wouldn’t be tempted?

However, Zhang Ruochen calmed himself down quickly and said, “It’s going to be very difficult to pass all the ten levels of ocean domains, isn’t it?”

Feng Yan was impressed by how calm Zhang Ruochen was. He said, “Lingxi, Palace Leader Ling, and others from Guanghan Field have tried. Perhaps they’ll give you the answer.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “How many levels of ocean domains have you passed?”

“How many levels? Do you really think it’s that easy to get through Ocean of Truth? None of us managed to get through the first level, and only Palace Leader Ling reached the end of the first level. As for us, we fell into the ocean on our way there.” Su Qingling rolled her eyes at how much Zhang Ruochen underestimated the difficulty of Ocean of Truth.

Zhang Ruochen was startled.

All of them were the top talents in a large field. They were literally one in millions, yet none of them managed to get through the first ocean domain.

Ling Feiyu was a mad genius in sword, and she became a saint king in Kunlun’s Field where saintly ways were lacking, yet even she failed.

It was almost hopeless.

“Take me there. I’ll have a try.”

Zhang Ruochen’s interests were piqued by Ocean of Truth.

After all, he could get an additional month of refining, so he needed to try.

“Okay.”

Feng Yan sent out a signal flare, and after a while, a cloud boat came to the edge of Island Kongling, about to take Zhang Ruochen and the others to Ocean of Truth.

The owner of Island Kongling was Feng Xi, a disciple of a God. She was playing chess with a man wearing a Taoist cape.

Feng Yi’s cape had cranes and blue sky one it, which made her look above the ordinary. She said while playing chess, “You’ve met him yourself. Did he live up to your expectations?”

“Not bad. He’s not a reckless person. I saw his performance in Zuling Field, and I heard of his slaughtering in Jingxiang Cliff Dojo. I was worried that he might be fiery and bloodthirsty,” said the man in the Taoist cape.

Feng Xi said, “Why don’t you go meet him yourself? Then you can decide.”

“Not the time yet. And besides, if Shang Ziyan knows I’m here in Truth Heavenly Domain, he might use leverages ten times more now, and then it’ll become a fight between me and him,” said the man in the Taoist cape.

Feng Xi said, “You’re saying that you still need to observe him for longer before having more confidence in him.”

The man in the Taoist cape looked at the chess pieces and said, “He needs to prove that he’s worthy if he wants our help, otherwise, who’s willing to make enemy with Heaven Field, the most powerful field in the western world?”

Feng Xi said, “Do you want to head to Ocean of Truth for further observation?”

“Do you really think he can achieve anything after comprehending in the godly palace for only thirteen days?”

Feng Xi said, “Even if he can’t pass the first level of ocean domain, we can see how long he can last at the exit. Then we can assess his potential, comprehension, and power.”

The man in the Taoist cape said, “I feel like you’re very interested in him also, aren’t you?”

“Time and Space Descendant, ranked first on ‘Saints Merits Rank’ and the fiancé of a God. Every single one of these attributes interests me,” said Feng Xi apathetically.

“Seems like we have to finish this game later,” said the man in the Taoist cape.

After a while, Feng Xi and the man in the Taoist cape flew out of Island Kongling and headed toward Ocean of Truth.

...

Many saints gathered on the shore of Ocean of Truth, and they were all here trying to get more refining time.

Zhang Ruochen walked out of the cloud boat and saw ten different colors on the ocean, and there was a light screen separating the two different colors.

Zhang Ruochen saw almost three thousand monks gathering on the shore.

He saw some familiar people: the Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine, Sword Master Dongliu, and some monks from Kunlun’s Field, Wan Zhaoyi, Chen Wutian, Buddha Xinshu, Monk Lawless, and Pei Yutian.

The Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine rushed toward Zhang Ruochen, smiled seductively, and said, “Finally you’re here, Zhang Ruochen. Do you think you can pass the first level of the ocean domain?”

“I heard it’s very difficult,” said Zhang Ruochen.

“Indeed. The first level is thirty miles wide. I fell into the ocean after only twenty-two miles. I didn’t even touch the exit of the first level. I heard it’s way more difficult to get past the exit them to get to the exit,” said the Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine.

She was the only one from Shatuo Heavenly Domain who made it on the ‘Saints Merits Rank’ before Zhang Ruochen arrived, which showed she had greater talents than Wu Hao and Sword Master Dongliu.

However, she had only managed to travel twenty-two miles.

“However, I’ve only refined in Truth Godly Palace for half a month, so I still have some chance. I’ll come here after a year in the dojo,” said the Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine.

Meanwhile, lots of people yelled, “Deity Wang Xu has got through the exit of the fourth ocean domain, entering the fifth level.”

Zhang Ruochen immediately looked to the fifth level of the ocean domain, and he saw a man in black slowly sailing the Boat of Truth.
