God Emperor

Chapter 2180: The First Realm-frame Was Formed

As Zhang Ruochen passed through the light screen, the black Mountain of Truth was standing before his eyes. Its majestic aura had a huge impact on his mind. It was completely different from the feeling he had when he was looking at the shore of the Sea of Truth.

Zhang Ruochen felt great pressure before he had climbed up the mountain. His saint soul and the Heavenly Stream were trembling. They were almost collapsing under the pressure.

The Mountain of Truth was extremely lofty. It was tens of thousands of meters high and towered into the clouds. Countless Precepts were winding around it. Facing it was like facing the supreme Truth of heaven and earth. Even if a god came, he would probably be in awe of it.

“It seems that the reward of the Fane of Truth isn’t easy to get. Crossing ten regions of the sea are just a foundation. Whether I can climb up the Mountain of Truth is the key,” Zhang Ruochen said in a low voice.

Many people thought the greatest difficulty in getting the reward of the Fane of Truth was to cross the ten regions of the sea, but they did not know it was even more difficult to reach the top of the Mountain of Truth.

Zhang Ruochen believed that the so-called ascent to the Mountain of Truth was not just about reaching the foot of the mountain. Perhaps he had to reach the top of it.

Zhang Ruochen drove the Boat of Truth under great pressure with all his strength and finally got close to the Mountain of Truth.

Zhang Ruochen moved in a flash. He left the Boat of Truth and landed on a skerry.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen felt his Saint Qi stagnate, and its circulation speed became extremely slow. Even the Heavenly Stream seemed to have solidified. No matter how strong he was, he couldn’t perform at all.

Zhang Ruochen tried to perform the Profound Spatial Domain, but he failed. All the Paths that he had cultivated were completely suppressed at this point.

As a result, he couldn’t even move an inch, let alone reach the top of the mountain.

Was it because I haven’t condensed the Realm-frame of Truth?’ Zhang Ruochen had an epiphany.

Since it was a trial formulated by the Fane of Truth, the Path of Truth would be crucial. It was no wonder that the foundation of crossing the sea from the ninth region was to condense the Realm-frame of Truth.

Relying on an ordinary Realm-frame of Truth was impossible to resist the suppression of the Mountain of Truth.

Although Zhang Ruochen had found a way, he couldn’t condense a superior Realm-frame of Truth in a short time.

Zhang Ruochen involuntarily frowned slightly, and he had already climbed the Mountain of Truth. Should he give up here?

“I can’t believe that the first Saint King to cross the tenth region of the sea since the establishment of the Celestial Court isn’t a Divine Scion trained by the Fane of Truth.”

At this moment, a slightly emotional voice sounded.

At the same time, golden mist rose from the sea and covered the Mountain of Truth. Even the deities couldn’t peep.

Zhang Ruochen raised his head and looked up at the top of the mountain.

At some point, a tall figure appeared at the top of the mountain. The figure looked like a god or a demon as if it could illuminate the heavens, and the Precepts of heaven and earth revolved around it.

Although the tall figure didn’t emit the slightest powerful aura, Zhang Ruochen could sense he was a deity.

Zhang Ruochen bowed and said, “Greetings, senior. My name is Zhang Ruochen.”

“You’re indeed amazing for crossing ten regions of the sea,” the tall figure said. “But whether you can get the Fane of Truth’s reward depends on your ability.”

Zhang Ruochen quickly said, “Please give me some pointers, senior.”

Since Zhang Ruochen had the chance, he had to fight for it no matter what.

“The Fane of Truth’s reward is on the top of the mountain. Before ascending to the top of the mountain, you’ll need to fulfill two conditions. The first condition is to condense the ‘Shoreless Star Ocean’ form or even the ‘Boundless Universe’ form of the Realm-frame of Truth,” the tall figure said.

Zhang Ruochen was struck by its words and his eyes narrowed. It was as he had expected.

Even the Divine Scions trained by the Fane of Truth couldn’t form the ‘Shoreless Star Ocean’, and not to mention the ‘Boundless universe’ form. It was too difficult for someone like him who hadn’t been taught the secret technique to condense a superior-class Realm-frame of Truth.

It wasn’t easy to form a superior-class Realm-frame of Truth. Even with the secret technique of the Fane of Truth, Zhang Ruochen couldn’t condense successfully in a short time.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen was confident in doing it, but he needed more time.

Unfortunately, what he lacked the most now was time. The Central Imperial City was at stake, and he could not stay here forever.

“If you are willing to join the Fane of Truth, I can take you in as my disciple and teach you the secret technique of forming the Realm-frame of Truth,” the tall figure said.

If it were anyone else, they would have been extremely excited and agreed without hesitation.

After all, a deity who appeared on the Mountain of Truth was not ordinary. He must have a very high position in the Fane of Truth.

To join the Fane of Truth under such a deity, he would be able to enjoy all kinds of treatment, which was much better than ordinary Divine Scions.

However, Zhang Ruochen fell into silence. If he became a disciple of the Fane of Truth, he wouldn’t need to wait until now.

He still had many things to do. If he became a disciple of the Fane of Truth, he would be bound and wouldn’t be able to do as he pleased.

After waiting for a while, the tall figure said again, “It’s not easy to cross the ten regions of the seas. I’ll give you a chance.”

After that, ten rays of divine light fell from the top of the mountain and appeared in front of Zhang Ruochen. They turned into ten Godstones.

Zhang Ruochen looked at the ten Godstones in front of him, his heart suddenly jumped. He couldn’t help but look upwards. The tall figure on the top of the mountain had disappeared without a trace.

The other party’s intention was clear. He wanted him to cultivate here for ten years with the help of the Sundial.

During the Battle of Luoshui, Zhang Ruochen had used the Sundial to fight against Yan Wushen’s evil counterpart. The Sundial’s secret had been exposed at that time.

‘With the special environment of the Mountain of Truth and the forty-nine out of ten thousand Canons of Truth, I’ll give it a try and might be able to condense a superior Realm-frame of Truth in ten years.’ Zhang Ruochen thought and decided in an instant.

Zhang Ruochen would get great benefits if he could cultivate in the Mountain of Truth for ten years, and there was no reason for him to refuse.

Zhang Ruochen did not hesitate. He immediately took out the Sundial and inserted it into the Godstone. He could not wait to begin comprehending the Path of Truth.

The more Precepts of Truth he cultivated, the more helpful it would be for him to condense the Realm-frame of Truth.

Many cultivators on the shore of the Sea of Truth looked disappointed. The Mountain of Truth was shrouded in a golden mist, and they could no longer see Zhang Ruochen’s situation.

“Sister, do you know what the reward mentioned in the oracle is?” Feng Yan asked curiously.

Feng Xi shook her head and said, “The oracle was personally promulgated by the lord of the Fane of Truth. Very few people know the inside story. Master may know it, but he doesn’t want to reveal it.”

Feng Xi thought that the reward that could make even deities jealous was probably a large number of Canons of Truth. After all, even the deities only had a small number of canons, not to mention the canons of the Path of Ancients.

In the past, the thirteen Supreme Saints who ascended the Mountain of Truth all obtained a large number of Canons of Truth. From there, they became Envoys of Truth. Before they became gods, they were already on par with deities.

After they became gods, they became powerful figures who could shake heaven and earth.

However, Feng Xi thought otherwise. If the rewards were the same, why would the Fane of Truth issue such an oracle?

“I wonder when our brother will return from the Mountain of Truth. I’m still waiting for him to drink with me,” Xiang Chunan muttered.

He didn’t think too much about it. It seemed that nothing was more important than drinking.

The news that Zhang Ruochen had crossed the tenth region of the Sea of Truth spread like wildfire in a short time to all directions. It caused a huge uproar.

Even the deities had paid attention to Zhang Ruochen.

In addition, the leaders of the Saint Kinghood from all realms were all feeling great pressure. They felt the gap between them and Zhang Ruochen was widening further.

First, there was Yan Wushen, and now there was Zhang Ruochen. It was hard to say whether it was lucky or sad that he was born in this era.

Most people cared about what kind of reward Zhang Ruochen could get from the Fane of Truth at this moment.

Zhang Ruochen was already invincible below the Supreme Saint realm. Would he become more powerful if he got the reward that could make the deities fear him?

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

The number of cultivators gathered in the Sea of Truth had greatly decreased. No one knew what Zhang Ruochen was doing in the Mountain of Truth. Naturally, there was no need to wait here.

Moreover, it was still a question whether Zhang Ruochen would appear on the shore of the Sea of Truth in the future.

Xiang Chunan, Feng Yan, and the others did not leave. They seemed to be very patient. Anyway, no matter where Zhang Ruochen would appear, he would come to find them.

At the edge of the Mountain of Truth, Zhang Ruochen was fully immersed in his cultivation. Behind him was a hazy world. The Five-element Chaotic Qi was surging inside, and countless light spots were flashing. They were like small stars.

This world didn’t seem big, but it gave people a boundless feeling. It was extending all the time.

When the Sundial stopped running, Zhang Ruochen opened his eyes. The hazy world behind him shook, and it revealed billions of different forms of words that explained the truth of the world vividly.

A faint smile appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. He said softly, “It’s done. Using the Five-element Chaotic Body as the foundation, I’ve finally condensed my Realm-frame of Truth.”

Since he hadn’t mastered the secret technique of the Fane of Truth, the Realm-frame of Truth that Zhang Ruochen had condensed was different from the ordinary Realm-frame of Truth. It could be said to be unique.

Under normal circumstances, even if he performed the Realm-frame of Truth, most people wouldn’t be able to recognize it. They would still think it was the Five-element Chaotic Body.

It wasn’t wrong to think this way. The hazy world behind Zhang Ruochen was a combination of the Realm-frame of Truth and the anomaly. There were many inexplicable mysteries.

Zhang Ruochen’s Five-element Chaotic Body had changed due to the combination. It became stronger and could compact part of the Neverwither physique.

Zhang Ruochen felt much relaxed after obtaining the Realm-frame of Truth, and the suppression from the Mountain of Truth was greatly weakened.

‘Although my Realm-frame of Truth is different from the ordinary ones, it should not be worse than the ‘Shoreless Star Ocean’ form. Now that I have fulfilled the first condition. I wonder what the second condition is?’ Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.

He raised his head and looked up at the top of the mountain, but he did not see the tall figure.

After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and put away the Sundial. Then he stood up and began to climb the mountain.

The dimensions on the Mountain of Truth were completely frozen. There is no way Zhang Ruochen could fly in the sky, so he could only ascend on foot.

At first, Zhang Ruochen was climbing very fast. However, after he climbed to a certain height, his speed gradually slowed down. It felt like a primordial divine mountain was pressing down on him. His footsteps were extremely heavy.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Ruochen finally arrived at the mountainside. He almost collapsed to the ground and could not move a single step.

“It’s impressive how you can condense the Realm-frame of Truth on your own. Now, as long as you fulfill the second condition, you can go to the top of the mountain and hope to get the reward.” The ethereal voice sounded again.

Zhang Ruochen raised his head and saw the tall figure again. He couldn’t help but ask, “Senior, what’s the second condition?”

“The completion of the Saint Kinghood,” the tall figure answered succinctly.

A strange light flashed in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. He knew what the completion of the Saint Kinghood meant. He had to cultivate 100 million Precepts just like Yan Wushen.

Everyone knew how difficult it was to achieve such a goal.

Even Yan Wushen had to walk on that extremely difficult and dangerous path to succeed.

Throughout the history of Celestial and Infernal Courts, a perfect Saint King might not even appear in a Yuanhui Tribulation.

In a sense, it was even more difficult to complete the cultivation of a Saint Kinghood than to become a god.

According to legends, if one could complete the cultivation of a Saint Kinghood, he would be able to compete with a Supreme Saint in the Hundred-Shackle Realm.

Zhang Ruochen’s Precepts were close to 100 million and he only needed tens of thousands more. However, he couldn’t predict how much time it would take to cultivate them.

“This time, I’ll give you twenty years to do so. If you can’t succeed, it only means you’re not destined to receive the reward,” the tall figure said indifferently.

Before he finished speaking, twenty rays of divine lights fell from the top of the mountain.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t in a hurry to collect the Godstones in front of him. He asked instead, “Senior, what’s the situation in the Central Imperial City of Kunlun?”

“Is the matter in Kunlun more important than your great opportunity?” The tall figure asked rhetorically.

Zhang Ruochen said in a low voice, “Of course the opportunity is equally important, but there are people and things in Kunlun that I care about. I can’t just cast them aside.”

The figure was silent for a moment and said, “Don’t worry. The Central Imperial City is safe for the time being. If something happens, I can send you back.”

Zhang Ruochen felt relieved after hearing what the tall figure said. He quickly answered, “Thank you, senior.”

This way, he didn’t have to worry about anything, and he could focus on comprehending the Path on the Mountain of Truth.

Completing the cultivation of the Saint Kinghood in 20 years seems surreal. If he didn’t try, how would he know?

Zhang Ruochen had never backed down no matter what happened.
