God Emperor

Chapter 1858: Crone Qushan

“Pffft!”

Awesome the Little Taoist, who was sitting on Zhang Ruochen’s shoulder, could not help but laugh.

“Who’s laughing?”

Shiqing Shenzi glanced sideways, as he stared coldly at Awesome the Little Taoist.

Awesome the Little Taoist raised a hand and said apologetically. “Sorry... I’m sorry... I just could not hold back...”

God knows how many pairs of eyes on the island were all focused on Awesome the Little Taoist and Zhang Ruochen.

Shiqing Shenzi’s tone was rather unkind. “Is it that funny?”

Awesome the Little Taoist shook its head quickly and said with a serious expression, “It’s not funny, but I think that if the ancient wards of Luoshui cannot stop the Blood Wasp Ashuran King, then an Eight-Rank Array would definitely not be able to stop him.”

When the Tianchu Civilization cultivators saw Zhang Ruochen, all of them looked at each other, as they thought to themselves. “Who is that man who looks like Saint King Miaohan? Could be a Tianchu Civilization cultivator? But why we have not seen him before?”

“Ignorance.”

A white-haired old man with antlers on his head slowly walked out from behind Shiqing Shenzi’s back as he said with a hoarse voice. “There are differences in level between the Eight-Rank Formation Arrays, a true top-level Eight-Rank Array, once activated, even a Supreme Saint could not easily dismantle it, and could easily suppress and kill elites of the Precept Domain realm.”

“Elder Lu.”

Shiqing Shenzi took three steps back and helped to steady, the white-haired old man with antlers, the wild aura around him diminished somewhat.

Zhang Ruochen could feel his saint heart shrank a little as if his spiritual powers were sealed, he then said to himself. “So powerful, this old man’s spiritual power must be of the Fifty-Nine level, and moreover, it is not at the early stage of that level.”

Elder Lu immediately continued. “While the ancient inscription wards of Luoshui are powerful, but they cover too vast an area, and there will always be some loopholes. It is not unsurprising if it was not able to stop a true elite.”

“But, the Eight-Rank Formation Array that I will be deploying, only needs to cover the Nine Carols Star.”

Awesome the Little Taoist could tell that the old man called Elder Lu was not someone to mess with, so he restrained himself somewhat as he said. “I have also studied formation arrays before, and know that the more powerful an array, the more time is needed to deploy it. By the time you cover the entire Nine Carols Star with the formation, the Blood Wasp Ashuran King may have already killed everyone on the star.”

“Seems like your attainments on formation arrays are not that accomplished. Don’t you know that I have already refined all of the formation plates in advance?” Elder Lu sneered.

A gleeful look appeared on Shiqing Shenzi’s face. “Fairy, the defensive formation that Elder Lu lays is indestructible by any lifeform under a Supreme saint. As long as you agree to allow us into the Nine Carols Star, we only need two days to complete the deployment of the Eight-Rank formation array.”

Against an elite like the Blood Wasp Ashuran King, Fairy Tianchu too had to be cautious and did not immediately reject Shiqing Shenzi.

Even if she did not think of herself, she needed to consider the safety of the many cultivators of the Tianchu Civilization there.

Awesome the Little Taoist, send a telepathic message to Zhang Ruochen. “That Shiqing Shenzi punk is totally predictable. If he enters the Nine Carols Star, he definitely will be coiling himself around your Fairy Tianchu no? How about you tell her that you could deploy a Dimensional Labyrinth Array and the Array of Time which is many times more practical than that who-knows-that defensive Eight-Rank array?”

Zhang Ruochen rolled his eyes at Awesome the Little Taoist. “Do you know how long does it take to cover the entire Nine Carols Star with the Dimensional Labyrinth Array and Array of Time?”

“How long?”

“It may not even be completed even after half a year.” Zhang Ruochen said.

“Uh....”

Awesome the Little Taoist strokes its beard and said, “Don’t we have the Seven Divine Planets? The Seven Divine Planets can be turned into nine protective stars around the Nine Carols Star, and won’t their defensive power be any inferior to an Eight-Rank formation array?”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “The seven Divine Planets were personally made by Mister Godcliff. He must be very aware of the flaws of the Divine Planets, and the Ninth-Rank formation array. I need to remind you, whenever Mister Godcliff is around, you better not use it. We’ll lose big time if they get taken away!”

“Neither this or that would work, are we going to just watch them show off and steal the limelight?” Awesome the Little Taoist said resentfully.

“We are not here to show off in the first place.”

Zhang Ruochen continued. “Plus, with both the Blood Wasp Ashuran King and Mister Godcliff eyeing this place, letting Shiqing Shenzi bring his men into the Nine Carols Star, isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Better still, if there are more elites... Eh, did I hit the jackpot?”

In the distance, where the water and sky meet, three saint birds flew over, emitting one purple, one black, and one white, three different brilliances.

The three saint birds had magnificent feathers and powerful auras. Soon, they were already flying close to the island.

Whooosh!! Whooosh!!

The three saint birds transformed into three human figures as they descended from the sky and landed on the island.

Seeing the three figures, a strange look appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s face.

It was because he knew two out of the three, Black Phoenix and White Zhuque.

Before Black Phoenix and White Zhuque, was an old woman in her sixties. Her hair was white but was neatly combed. Even if she did not deliberately release her aura, the power emanating from her body was enough to make all of the cultivators present keep quiet.

“Why is this old monster here!” Li Miaoohan frowned deeply.

That old woman’s hearing was extremely acute, and she stared at Li Miaohan with hawk-like eyes.

“Watch out.” Fairy Tianchu called out.

Zhang Ruochen too noticed danger, as his figure flashed, and appeared before Li Miaohan as he blasted a palm strike out.

BAM!!!

A needle as thin as cow’s hair struck Zhang Ruochen’s palm.

One needs to know, the small a sacred artifact was, the stronger its penetrating power, but its impact was far inferior to a larger sacred artifact.

However, the force of the needle far surpassed Zhang Ruochen’s imagination, as if a meteorite had struck his palm.

Zhang Ruochen was sent backward by more than ten feet away before he managed to neutralize the power of the needle.

Zhang Ruochen thought that such a powerful needle must’ve been a high-grade sacred artifact. However, the needle had just dissipated in his palm and turned into a purple mist.

“It’s not a physical needle?”

Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed, looking quite grim.

The cultivation of the old woman was just terrifying!

A flash of surprise appeared in the eyes of the old woman, as she said harshly. “For you to be able to block my Optical Spike, it means your eyesight and reaction speed is not bad. Of everyone here, your strength can be ranked in the top five!”

To receive such a high evaluation from the old woman, all of the cultivators present looked at Zhang Ruochen, with a hint of awe in their eyes.

“Since you have managed to block my Optical Spike, this old one will spare that lassie over there. If she dares to offend me again, I will kill her without mercy.” The old woman said coldly.

Li Miaohan hurriedly flew to Zhang Ruochen’s side as she raised his arm. After confirming that he was not injured, she heaved a slight sigh of relief.

“Thank you...”

Just as Li Miaohan was about to speak, Zhang Ruochen interrupted her with a smile. “Isn’t it right for a brother to protect his sister?”

In that situation earlier, only the position Zhang Ruochen had stood in could have saved her.

Otherwise, Li Miaohan would have either died or become crippled.

Li Miaohan’s snow-white face blushed a little.

While she knew that Zhang Ruochen was only donning a disguise, but a strange feeling still surfaced in her heart.

Zhang Ruochen asked through telepathy. “Her cultivation is insanely strong, who is she?”

Li Miaohan stared at the back of the old woman who was walking away and cautiously said, “You don’t even know Crone Qushan?”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head.

Li Miaohan said, “Crone Qushan was one a Supreme Saint of the Taibai Realm, due to her offending the Fane of Youshen, her immortal saint body was shattered by Youshen, and her saint source taken away, obliterating her cultivation.”

“Why is she so strong even with her cultivation being obliterated?” Zhang Ruochen was puzzled.

Li Miaohan replied. “While her cultivation was crippled, but Crone Qushan’s body was still powerful, far surpassing the average Saint King. Using her powerful body, and her past cultivation experience, she had reformed her saint source and cultivated all the way to this state. It is said that it is very possible for her to form an immortal saint body again, and become a Supreme Saint once again.”

Zhang Ruochen said. “That’s just too overpowered right?”

“Who said she isn’t? If it was another person, they’d long given up and will not have the perseverance to cultivate again.” Li Miaohan sighed as she continued. “But, because of this, Crone Qushan’s personality changed drastically. Becoming quite extreme and cruel. You may be killed even if you offend her slightly.

This sentence, Li Miaohan used her spiritual power to transmit it, for fear of being heard by Crone Qushan again.

“For a character like Crone Qushan to come to the Nine Carols Star, things are getting more and more interesting.”

Zhang Ruochen rubbed his chin and felt that this storm was not something he could control any longer.

He only hoped that Murong Yefeng could come to meet him sooner.

“I want to enter the Nine Carols Star to enlighten my saint path. Your Highness, I suppose you don’t have anything to say against that?”

Crone Qushan’s aura was imposing, and even overshadowed Fairy Tianchu’s.

Before her, Fairy Tianchu was just like a little girl, all of her saint aura was reduced to nothing.

The cultivators of the Tianchu Civilization wound naturally not agree to this.

If they let Crone Qushan enter the Nine Carols Star, and prevent the others from entering, then won’t those cultivators kick up a fuss?

The Butcher’s voice was guttural. “The Nine Carol Stars is an ancestral relic of the Tianchu Civilization, how could we let outsiders in?”

“Ancestral relic of the Tianchu Civilization? Heheheh, this old one could say, it is an ancestral relic of the Taibai Realm. The awakened divine land of Kunlun Realm is open to everyone. What right does the Tianchu Civilization have to monopolize it?” Crone Qushan spat coldly.

On the surface of the water.

A white jade saint vessel arrived, as the Fourteenth Prince of the Dizu Divine Dynasty stood on the deck and said with a loud voice. “What the old crone said is very true, and this prince thinks so too.”

“The Nine Carols Star is located in Kunlun Realm, and us cultivators from the various realms have the right to land on the star to seek out opportunities. Yet, the Tianchu Civilization wants to monopolize this place for themselves. This is just too much.”

As he spoke, the Fourteenth Prince, and Nie Qingli and Bai Shang of the Nebula Sect landed on the island.
