Chapter 1042: Arriving Again at Chaos Myrealms Mountain
"This time, entering the Azure Dragon Ruins Realm to compete for resources will inevitably lead to sect wars, even racial wars. The high-level members of the Blood God Sect have decided to form an alliance with the Shangguan Aristocratic Family and the Cai Clan to secure greater initiative."
Shangguan Xianyan's expression was quite serious as she explained some of the arrangements for the upcoming trip to the Azure Dragon Ruins Realm to Zhang Ruochen.
When the plans were being made, Zhang Ruochen was not in the Blood God Sect.
Originally, the Blood God Sect Leader had decided that Shangguan Xianyan, Hai Lingyin, and Wei Longxing would be responsible for commanding the sect's cultivators.
Since the Divine Son had reappeared, Shangguan Xianyan naturally had to explain the plan's contents to him.
Zhang Ruochen crossed his arms and nodded. "The Shangguan Aristocratic Family and the Cai Clan are both behemoth-like medieval aristocratic clans. Forming an alliance with the Blood God Sect is indeed a union of the strong, enough to be invincible."
Shangguan Xianyan smiled. "The cultivators of the Blood God Sect and the Shangguan Aristocratic Family have already entered the Chaos Myrealms Mountain through other wormhole entrances."
"And then?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
"That's all for now."
A seductive smile appeared on Shangguan Xianyan's crystal-clear face. "Talking about those things is boring. Why don't we discuss... something else?"
Her lively eyes blinked gently, staring at Zhang Ruochen with a pitiful charm.
Just then, the void ship shook violently.
Shangguan Xianyan's soft body leaned forward, falling toward Zhang Ruochen.
However, Zhang Ruochen stepped back first. Not only did Shangguan Xianyan fail to lean on him, but she nearly fell to the ground, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Shangguan Xianyan shot Zhang Ruochen a resentful glance. "Divine Son, why did you retreat so far? Are you afraid I'll eat you?"
Zhang Ruochen rubbed the tip of his nose, walking toward her step by step, and chuckled, "Not exactly, but I don't like overly forward women. In that regard, I prefer to take the initiative."
With that, Zhang Ruochen raised his hands and pressed forward with lightning speed, piercing through nine rings of holy light to grab Shangguan Xianyan's arms, pinning her against the wall.
Shangguan Xianyan's graceful body was left hanging, only the tips of her toes lightly touching the ground.
Zhang Ruochen's hands were like iron clamps, not only restraining her arms but also sealing her meridians, rendering her completely immobile.
Shangguan Xianyan was greatly alarmed, her breathing becoming rapid, her firm chest rising and falling in waves.
She had never expected Gu Linfeng's cultivation to be so terrifying.
Capturing her was as easy as catching a chicken.
Zhang Ruochen stared intently into her eyes, then looked down at her straight nose and glossy red lips.
Finally, his gaze settled on the deep cleavage and large expanse of snow-white skin on her chest. He smiled, "You do have some capital. Are you already impatient?"
Shangguan Xianyan's lips trembled slightly, and she dared not speak.
Zhang Ruochen eventually released her, waving his hand. "Whatever thoughts you have, you'd better dispel them immediately. Otherwise, the one who ends up suffering will be you. Leave now. Tonight, this Divine Son has no interest in you."
Shangguan Xianyan made no response, tidied her disheveled clothes, turned into a shadow, and walked out of the cabin.
Huang Yanchen stood outside, watching Shangguan Xianyan emerge, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Shangguan Xianyan also glanced at Huang Yanchen, a sly glint flashing in her pupils. She licked her lips with her small, delicate tongue and let out a silvery laugh. "The Divine Son is truly a romantic figure. This Holy Maiden is increasingly impressed by his abilities in certain areas."
The void ship began to activate, emitting a humming sound. Under the propulsion of the formation, it lifted off, charging toward the wormhole for a spatial jump.
A tremendous pressure surged from all directions, pressing down on every cultivator.
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes, calming his mind, and began to sense the massive spatial fluctuations caused by the void ship passing through the wormhole.
If he could fully comprehend the essence of wormholes, Zhang Ruochen could use spatial power to create a wormhole of his own, enabling spatial jumps.
Spatial displacement could at most cover a distance of tens of zhang, but spatial jumps could span tens of thousands of li, hundreds of thousands of li, or even cross two ruins realms.
The gap between the two was incomparable.
Of course, given Zhang Ruochen's current cultivation and spiritual power intensity, achieving spatial jumps was still unlikely.
Even successfully mastering the Great Space Teleportation would be a remarkable achievement.
According to the "Space-Time Secret Scripture":
A single Great Space Teleportation could at least traverse dozens of li of space. If the cultivator controlled the space rules with enough precision, it could even cover hundreds of li.
"Boom."
The void ship shook violently, entering a pitch-black, icy void space.
A black mountain range over a thousand li long lay ahead, composed of rock, enveloped by a massive formation, exuding an awe-inspiring atmosphere.
Chaos Myrealms Mountain.
This place was the transit hub connecting various ruins realms beyond the domain, as well as the camp of the ruins realm warriors.
Recently, Chaos Myrealms Mountain had been busier than ever. At every moment, large numbers of void ships flew in from all directions, like "hummingbirds returning to their nests," transporting a flood of Kunlun Realm cultivators here.
Clearly, everyone's target was the Azure Dragon Ruins Realm.
Fortunately, ships transported cultivators to the Azure Dragon Ruins Realm every day. Otherwise, no matter how vast Chaos Myrealms Mountain was, it could not accommodate the endless stream of human cultivators.
Zhang Ruochen walked out of the cabin, stepped onto the deck, and looked toward Chaos Myrealms Mountain. Seeing the dense sea of figures, he was inwardly astonished. "The Kunlun Realm is truly vast and boundless, with countless talents emerging."
Facing hundreds of half-saints, even a figure from the "Half-Saint Ranking" would have to flee immediately.
And before him were far more than hundreds of half-saints.
Even the most formidable experts, like the Devouring Demon Dragon ranked third on the "Half-Saint Ranking" or the Kun Clan's sixth-ranked prince, would likely meet their doom if they charged into Chaos Myrealms Mountain.
Huang Yanchen came to Zhang Ruochen's side, also gazing toward Chaos Myrealms Mountain. "You should be wary of Shangguan Xianyan. Remember, the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect is not just the Divine Son's Dao companion. If the Divine Son dies, the Holy Maiden becomes the future Sect Leader."
Zhang Ruochen said, "Do you think I've been bewitched by her? Or are you jealous?"
Huang Yanchen shot Zhang Ruochen a cold glance, then looked in another direction. "You need to see the situation clearly. This time, the Blood God Sect is allied with the Shangguan Aristocratic Family and the Cai Clan. Yet, only one person can communicate among the three factions, and that person is Shangguan Xianyan. She is also the leader of this alliance."
Zhang Ruochen followed Huang Yanchen's gaze toward a certain direction on the void ship, where he saw Shangguan Xianyan.
At that moment, Shangguan Xianyan stood with Cai Jinglun and Cai Wenji, the two leading figures of the Cai Clan, apparently discussing something.
Zhang Ruochen curled his lips. "So what?"
Huang Yanchen said, "If she wants to kill you inside the Azure Dragon Ruins Realm, it would be a simple matter."
"If she truly has that ability, then letting her become the future Sect Leader of the Blood God Sect wouldn't be a problem," Zhang Ruochen said, still smiling.
Even Qing Mo couldn't stand it anymore. "Young Master Zhang, you should wake up immediately. Don't let that demoness fool you, or the consequences will be severe."
"How severe?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Qing Mo couldn't answer and looked to Huang Yanchen for help.
But Huang Yanchen said no more, only giving Zhang Ruochen a cold glare before falling silent again.
Upon reaching Chaos Myrealms Mountain, the void ship began to descend. Everyone flew down and landed on the ground.
The cultivators of the Blood God Sect, led by Hai Lingyin and Wei Longxing, had already arrived at Chaos Myrealms Mountain and were waiting below.
Seeing Shangguan Xianyan disembark, the two immediately bowed. "Greetings, Holy Maiden."
Though their cultivation and talent surpassed hers, their status and position were far lower, so they naturally had to pay their respects.
Among the Blood God Sect cultivators, a voice shouted, "Boss Gu!"
Then, a red-furred monkey rushed out, pouncing toward Zhang Ruochen with a loud laugh. "I said Boss Gu would definitely come, but they didn't believe me."
This red-furred monkey was Sun Dadi.
Zhang Ruochen's appearance clearly surprised all the Blood God Sect cultivators, even Hai Lingyin and Wei Longxing were momentarily stunned.
Then, led by the two of them, all the Blood God Sect cultivators bowed to Zhang Ruochen.
Shangguan Xianyan walked over to Zhang Ruochen. "The leading figures of the Blood God Sect, the Cai Clan, and the Shangguan Aristocratic Family will discuss the specifics of entering the Azure Dragon Ruins Realm at the Myrealms Tavern. Do you want to come along?"
Before Zhang Ruochen could respond, Sun Dadi shouted first, "If the Blood God Sect's Divine Son doesn't attend a meeting of the three factions' leaders, how can the meeting proceed? How can it proceed? I ask you, how can it proceed?"
Zhang Ruochen had no desire to attend any meeting or get involved in the alliance of the three factions.
As Huang Yanchen said, Shangguan Xianyan was not as alluring as she appeared; she was undoubtedly a dangerous woman, and Zhang Ruochen wanted to keep his distance.
But under the watchful eyes of everyone, as the Divine Son of the Blood God Sect, Zhang Ruochen had no choice but to go.
Finally, Zhang Ruochen made a gesture of invitation. "Let's go."
The cultivators of the three factions merged into a torrent, marching grandly toward the Myrealms Tavern. Other cultivators stepped aside to make way.
