God Emperor

Qingtian Holy Dragon took out seven dragon beads, each of which was left behind after the death of the great sage of the dragon clan. It contains the dragon soul and has the immortal power of the great sage.

It dripped seven drops of holy blood into the dragon ball, and integrated seven strands of its own holy soul into it, condensing seven clones, which went to the other seven ferry crossings respectively, while the real body sat at Tiankun Ferry.

With Qingtian Holy Dragon's current cultivation level, even a Dragon Ball clone, after activating the immortal power, is enough to suppress most of the Nine-Step Holy Kings.

If you really meet a top strong person, just let your real body rush over.

Zhang Ruochen did not stay at Tiankun Ferry for long, so he took Jiang Yunchong and Moyin with him, took the White Dragon Ferry and rushed to the Holy City of the Eastern Territory.

The Holy City of the Eastern Territory is protected by ancient inscriptions. No one can break into it by force. They must take this special ferry.

Even Yan Wushen had quietly sneaked into the Holy City of the Eastern Region before launching an attack. After being attacked by the ancient inscriptions, he had no choice but to retreat.

In a very short period of time, the ban issued by Zhang Ruochen spread throughout the Bada Ferry, and was written in holy script. Anyone who enters the Bada Ferry can read it.

"Zhang Ruochen is so overbearing. He even restricted us from entering the Holy City of the Eastern Territory and forcibly collected the Holy Stones. Do you think we monks from all walks of life are easy to bully?"

"There must be no compromise on this matter. Zhang Ruochen cannot be allowed to act arbitrarily. I don't believe that no one can suppress him."

"We monks from all walks of life come to participate in the Merit War. There is no place in Kunlun Realm that we cannot set foot in. Even the so-called Central Imperial City, we can still enter. No matter how strong Zhang Ruochen is, he cannot cover the sky with one hand."

…

When the news spread, it immediately caused huge waves. Almost all monks in the heavenly world were resisting and putting pressure on Zhang Ruochen.

However, although these people roared very loudly, because the Blue Sky Holy Dragon was stationed at the Eight Ferry Gates, no one dared to mess around.

Standing on the White Dragon Ferry, Jiang Yunchong said with emotion: "The Holy City of the Eastern Territory can be regarded as one of the most magical places in the Eastern Territory. Natural treasure stars, a large number of holy medicines are born every day, and various other rare and exotic treasures. "

"Not long ago, traces of a Yuanhui Holy Medicine were revealed, which attracted many powerful people."

"Most of the cultivation resources that have been continuously produced have been taken away by outsiders. Our local monks in Kunlun Realm have received very little and are still oppressed everywhere. You are now issuing such a ban, which is very satisfying."

"However, this will definitely cause dissatisfaction from all parties, and there will definitely be a lot of trouble."

He has been staying in the Holy City of the Eastern Territory and is very familiar with the situation there. However, because he is an awakener, he will keep a low profile and will not take action easily unless necessary.

Otherwise, with his strength, he could seize those heavenly and earthly treasures.

Zhang Ruochen said calmly: "If I was afraid of trouble, I would not have agreed to be the king of the Eastern Region, let alone provoke the monks from the heaven faction."

No matter how big the trouble is, it's impossible for him to back down.

Feeling Zhang Ruochen's calmness, Jiang Yunchong stopped saying anything and said instead: "With your current mental strength, you are enough to control the Xinhuo Order. Let's go to the Xinhuo Tower first and get back the Xinhuo from Yanruo's hand. make."

At first, Zhang Ruochen obtained the Fire Order from Chen Yuhua and became the new king of the Eastern Region. However, because his mental strength was less than level 59, he could not control it at all, so he asked Jiang Yunchong's Taoist companion, Yan Ruo, to take charge on his behalf. .

During the period when he left the Holy City of the Eastern Region, Yan Ruo was also responsible for repairing the ancient inscriptions of the Holy City of the Eastern Region. Otherwise, he might not be able to withstand Yan Wushen's attack at all.

"I may not stay in the Holy City of the Eastern Territory for too long. The Fire Order will continue to be placed with Yan Ruo. I will help you protect the Holy City of the Eastern Territory." Zhang Ruochen said.

The current situation in the Kunlun Realm is very serious. It requires a strong man with a mental power of level 59 to be in charge of the Xinhuo Order and to stay in the Eastern Region, but he obviously cannot do it.

Jiang Yunchong shook his head helplessly: "You, the king of the Eastern Region, do it very easily. Anyway, you have more important things to do, so we will help you guard the rear."

Not long after, the White Dragon Ferry flew over the inscription barrier above the Holy City in the Eastern Territory and landed on the most prosperous Golden Rainbow Continent.

After getting off the boat, Jiang Yunchong separated from Zhang Ruochen and rushed towards the Xinhuo Tower eagerly.

Zhang Ruochen had carefully sensed that Jiang Yunchong's cultivation should have been completely restored, and he no longer had the special aura of an awakened person, so he was not given water from the Sun and Moon Dragon Spring.

As Jiang Yunchong said, because he activated the ancient inscriptions in time, Yan Wushen did not cause much damage to the Holy City of the Eastern Region. Only one or two urban areas on the Jinhong Continent were affected, and during this period, it was almost able to Repair completed.

Compared with before Kunlun Realm became a battlefield of merit, the population of the Holy City in the Eastern Territory has increased by more than ten times. In addition to the local monks who came to take refuge, there are also a large number of outside Holy Realm monks. It can be said that it is a mixed bag, and management is extremely complicated.

And once something goes wrong, the casualties will undoubtedly be staggering.

Zhang Ruochen and Luo Xu agreed to meet at the Holy Courtyard, so he rushed straight to the seventh city district where the Holy Courtyard was located without any further delay.

The cultivation environment of the Holy Court was already excellent. With the recovery of the Holy City in the Eastern Region, it has become more and more a holy land for cultivation.

Speaking of which, Zhang Ruochen has not been back to the Holy Court for a long time. I wonder if there are any old friends in the Holy Court?

Without alerting anyone, Zhang Ruochen quietly came to the hinterland of the Holy Court, the Holy Mountain.

Then, we entered a valley full of pear trees.

Because of the resurrection of the Holy Mountain, the 3,600 Linghe pear trees are growing more and more luxuriantly. The trees are full of fruits, and the bottom of the trees is covered with snow-white pear blossoms.

After passing through the pear garden, Zhang Ruochen came to a steep black cliff. His eyes scanned the vertical waterfall, and finally locked on the irregular stone platform at the bottom of the cliff.

In a daze, Zhang Ruochen saw an old man with white beard, white hair and white robe, smiling at him.

This is the place where he worshiped the old man Xuanji as his teacher. It can be said that his journey to become a swordsman started here.

Zhang Ruochen was full of respect and gratitude for the old man Xuanji. Not only did he teach him all the swordsmanship he had learned, but when he was ordered to be captured by Queen Chi Yao, he risked his life to rescue him. Later, he fought with Jiu for him. The Nether Sword Saint fights to the death.

"I don't know where Master is now? What important things is he doing?" Zhang Ruochen whispered.

The so-called underworld is obviously a part of the hell world and must be full of crises. Zhang Ruochen is really worried that old man Xuanji will be in danger.

Unfortunately, he still has many things to do in the Kunlun world and cannot rush to the underworld.

Walking slowly to the stone platform, Zhang Ruochen had a sad look in his eyes.

There is no news about the master, and only he and Qing Xiao are left among the other brothers.

When he thought of his second senior brother Zhu Hongtao, third senior brother Wan Ke and fifth senior sister Lingshu, Zhang Ruochen felt heartbroken. His heart was filled with guilt and endless anger.

He would never forget that the heads of Zhu Hongtao and others were hung on the gate of Yin Yang Palace, and finally exploded in front of him, but he could do nothing.

If he was strong enough, the tragedy might not happen.

After a long time, Zhang Ruochen walked out of the valley and came outside the holy mountain.

He still remembered that he had just accepted old man Xuanji as his teacher, and it was here that he had a duel with Ao Xinyan, who refused to accept him as the team leader.

Ao Xinyan, as the proud daughter of the divine dragon half-human race, possesses the divine dragon spirit and is extremely proud of herself.

In that battle, Ao Xinyan was defeated miserably at the hands of Zhang Ruochen, and from then on, she followed his advice.

Even though Ao Xinyan has now become the Dragon Princess, she still calls Zhang Ruochen the team leader, just like before.

Some things have changed, and some things have remained the same.

Zhang Ruochen stood there for a long time, each picture clearly appearing in his mind, as if it happened yesterday.

After going around in circles, Zhang Ruochen came to the starting point of entering the Holy Court, the Pilgrimage Stairway.

At that time, Zhang Ruochen was just a warrior in the Tianji realm. Semi-saints and saints seemed unattainable in his eyes and needed to be looked up to.

In the blink of an eye, many years have passed, but he has already stood at the pinnacle of the Great Sage. Only he himself knows how much hardship he has put in.

Zhang Ruochen stepped up the pilgrimage ladder step by step, and the images he had experienced in the past flashed through his mind. With his current cultivation level, the holy power emanating from the Pilgrimage Ladder can no longer have the slightest impact on him.

Unknowingly, Zhang Ruochen had reached the end of the pilgrimage ladder and entered the temple.

This temple is extremely special. It enshrines the stone statues of saints who have walked out of the temple in the past generations, allowing future generations of students to worship them forever.

You need to be at least a semi-saint to be qualified to step in.

There are many stone statues placed in the temple, densely packed, all lifelike, exuding strong or weak holy power. In front of these stone statues, there is a stone platform, some of which are filled with items, and some of which are empty.

This is also a tradition of the Holy Temple. Every saint will leave a treasure in the temple.

Turning his eyes, Zhang Ruochen actually saw a stone statue that belonged to him. However, this stone statue was ordinary and had no holy power.

It's normal to think about it. After all, when the Holy Court carved this stone statue for him, his true body was not present.

"Chichi."

Suddenly, as if there was some kind of reaction, Zhang Ruochen and the stone statue had a wonderful fit. The rules of heaven and earth in the entire temple came alive at this moment.

The originally ordinary stone statue suddenly gained a sacred charm and exuded powerful holy power.

At this moment, the stone statue finally became a saint.

Zhang Ruochen looked at the stone statue that was exactly the same as himself, as if looking into a mirror. However, the aura emanating from the stone statue made him feel a bit strange, as if he didn't even recognize himself.

"It's just a stone statue."

Zhang Ruochen got rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart, took out a sacred artifact, and placed it on the stone platform in front of the stone statue.

No matter what, he will always be a member of the Holy Court, and he will never forget his origins at any time.

"From ancient times to the present, the number of Holy Realm monks born in the Holy Academy must be extremely large, and there will never be just a few hundred."

Looking across the hundreds of stone statues in the hall, Zhang Ruochen could not help but whisper.

Zhang Ruochen's heart moved and he released his mental power to investigate carefully.

This investigation really made him discover something. It turned out that there was a folding space in the temple, which was very secret and difficult for ordinary space monks to discover.

"What a strong space barrier. With my current space attainments, I can't even penetrate it by force. It seems that this folding space is not simple. It probably hides a big secret." Zhang Ruochen said.

The Holy Court has a profound foundation, and it is normal to have secrets. Although Zhang Ruochen was a little curious, he did not rush to explore it.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen turned around and looked towards the entrance of the temple.

There was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties, with broad arms and bronze skin, full of strength.

Zhang Ruochen moved, came to this person, bowed and saluted, and said: "Disciple pays homage to the master."

It was none other than Zhang Ruochen's first master - Lei Jing.

As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father. In particular, Lei Jing had helped him a lot, and Zhang Ruochen would never forget it.

When he first returned to Kunlun Realm, Zhang Ruochen had met Lei Jing once. At that time, Lei Jing was only a semi-sage and was in the Wushi Bank branch of Qianshui County.

Unexpectedly, I saw him in the Holy Court this time, and Lei Jing had already condensed the holy source and became a true saint.

Perhaps because of this, Lei Jing was able to return to the Holy Court from Qianshui County.

Lei Jing quickly helped Zhang Ruochen up and joked: "You are now the strongest person under the Great Sage. I can't bear to salute you."

"No matter how strong I am, am I still your disciple? Or maybe the master is not satisfied with his disciples enough?" Zhang Ruochen straightened up and joked.

Lei Jing couldn't help but laughed and said: "Satisfied, how can I be dissatisfied as a teacher? Having you as my disciple is the most proud thing in my life, Lei Jing. In addition, what do you mean? What do you mean? With you?" What am I kidding about?"

Zhang Ruochen laughed loudly.

"You don't know that those people who used to look down on me as a master have now changed their attitudes. It's because I couldn't stand them that I ran to Wushi Bank in Qianshui County. It wasn't until I recently broke through and became a saint that I became a big man again." Return to the Holy Court."

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but smile and said: "If this were not the case, how could the disciple meet the master in the holy courtyard? I would like to congratulate the master for becoming a saint."

"Thanks to the holy source you left behind last time, otherwise I don't know how long it will take for me to become a saint. Being able to become a saint, I am completely satisfied." Lei Jing's eyes were filled with deep joy. The color of joy.

Lei Jing walked into the temple, waved his hand and took out a stone statue that belonged to him, while leaving behind a treasure.

"I, Lei Jing, can finally leave my name in the history of the Holy Academy." Lei Jing's eyes were full of excitement.

Being able to leave a stone statue in the temple is a supreme honor for every disciple of the temple.

"Uh-huh."

Suddenly, a ray of holy light flew from the sky.

Zhang Ruochen stretched out a hand and grabbed it, but it was the messenger light talisman passed by Luo Xu.

Zhang Ruochen glanced at it and then said to Lei Jing: "Master, I have something to discuss with Master Luo. I will accompany you after I finish my work... Forget it, haha, then we master and disciple will have a few drinks. , I have a lot of good wine in me.”

"It's important to do business first. Don't keep Master Luo waiting. I have plenty of time as a teacher." Lei Ding nodded, and the smile on his face became brighter.

Unlike others, no matter how strong Zhang Ruochen became, Lei Jing never felt any pressure because he knew very well what kind of person Zhang Ruochen was.

Zhang Ruochen didn't waste any time, used Space Movement, and left directly. Since Luo Xu had already arrived at the Holy City in the Eastern Territory, he should have exchanged the Holy Dao Ancient Tea Tree for him earlier.
