# Chapter 1577: Moon God's Dao Field
The Heavenly Capital Sacred Market was built on Heavenly Capital Mountain, which floated in midair, its peak plunging into thick layers of clouds. No one knew just how massive it was or how vast its depths extended.
Even the part visible above the clouds was magnificent and imposing, with peaks stacked upon peaks. Amidst sacred light and rosy clouds, many bizarre structures had been built—ancient castles, palaces, temples, and tall towers. There were also many buildings that Zhang Ruochen had never heard of or seen before.
As soon as he stepped onto Heavenly Capital Mountain and entered the Sacred Market, Zhang Ruochen saw creatures of all kinds setting up stalls along both sides of the road. On the stalls were gourds containing pills, sacred swords gleaming with holy light, golden lingzhi mushrooms as large as winnowing baskets, spirit snakes darting about like lightning... In short, everything was strange and wondrous, overwhelming the eyes.
A gaunt man with goat horns on his head used a Saint-Binding Chain to lead dozens of beautiful Rakshasa women, swaggering down the street while shouting out prices for sale.
Another monk with three eyes held a pot of thirty-thousand-year-old Kongyu Sacred Flower, standing outside a magnificent temple, seemingly trying to attract customers.
"It really is a mixed bag of fish and dragons," Zhang Ruochen remarked.
Nine Heavenly Fire Demon Butterflies flew beside Zhang Ruochen. One of them said, "Only top-tier powerful realms have the ability to establish sacred shops in the Heavenly Capital Sacred Market. Cultivators from other major worlds can only find empty spots to set up stalls."
"Although some genuine treasures might appear at these stalls, the buyer's privacy and life safety are not guaranteed. You might find that the treasure you bought gets snatched away the moment you leave the Heavenly Capital Sacred Market."
Walking forward, Zhang Ruochen saw all kinds of cultivators, mostly at the Saint realm, occasionally encountering Saint King-level experts.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen stopped, his gaze fixed on a stretch of black buildings to the right side of the road.
Those buildings were shrouded in thick evil fog, exuding an extremely sinister aura. Faintly, one could even hear the sounds of ghostly wails and beastly roars.
Outside the evil fog stood a four-zhang-tall stone tablet, on which three twisted characters were carved—"Yin Yang Hall."
Beneath the stone tablet stood four seductive women, all wearing revealing sacred garments, exposing their alluring bare shoulders, creamy smooth abdomens, and lustrous, soft jade-like legs.
Some cultivators did enter, but they all wore masks or wrapped their bodies tightly, as if afraid of being recognized.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen stop here, the nine Heavenly Fire Demon Butterflies all giggled.
The Demon Butterfly Princess said, "The Yin Yang Hall is no good place. It's said to be infested with a bunch of extremely vicious evil path figures who collect rare beauties from all major worlds in the universe and conduct unspeakable business inside. Earlier, that evil strongman leading a group of Rakshasa women was an expert from Yin Yang Hall."
"Although Yin Yang Hall has a terrible reputation, many cultivators with a taste for pleasure still go in to trade with them. Are you tempted too? Hehe."
Zhang Ruochen said, "The quotas to enter Truth Heaven Domain are very scarce. How can they bring so many beauties to the Heavenly Capital Sacred Market?"
Before the Demon Butterfly Princess could answer, another Heavenly Fire Demon Butterfly cut in, "The more powerful a major world is, the more say it has in Truth Heaven Domain. These major worlds cooperate with the Truth Divine Temple's divine disciples. As long as they sign certain treaties, they can bring large numbers of slaves and goods to the Heavenly Capital Sacred Market. Those captured beauties are just goods."
Another Heavenly Fire Demon Butterfly added, "Of course, slaves and goods cannot leave the Heavenly Capital Sacred Market. That's a rule set by those divine disciples."
Zhang Ruochen was naturally not attracted by those four seductive women, but rather by the divine statue beside the stone tablet.
That divine statue was seventy-two zhang tall, carved in the image of an incomparably beautiful woman, her robes fluttering, lifelike. The light radiating from the statue was extremely sacred.
It was a statue of the Moon God.
But cultivators passing by, as long as they associated it with the business conducted in Yin Yang Hall, would probably no longer find the Moon God's statue sacred. Instead, they would harbor some blasphemous thoughts.
"Is this the Moon God's Dao Field?"
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, his hands involuntarily clenching a bit.
The Demon Butterfly Princess said, "That's right. Only truly powerful gods can establish Dao Fields in the Heavenly Capital Sacred Market, and the Moon God is one of them. Only major worlds with Dao Fields can establish sacred shops in the Heavenly Capital Sacred Market, so those who open sacred shops are all top-tier major worlds."
"However, after Guanghan Realm declined, the Moon God's Dao Field was taken over by this group of evil path experts. I wonder if they deliberately intend to blaspheme the pure and chaste Moon God, doing that disgusting business inside. Hmph, the Moon God is my idol."
On Merit Star, the Moon God had directly clashed with the Merit Divine Temple to save Zhang Ruochen.
Because she saved Zhang Ruochen, she even lost the merit rewards that rightfully belonged to the beings of Guanghan Realm.
After that incident, Zhang Ruochen held deep respect for the Moon God. Seeing a group of evil path cultivators blaspheming the Moon God in this way naturally stirred anger in his heart.
The gaunt man with goat horns, leading a group of scantily clad Rakshasa women, walked up to Zhang Ruochen and chuckled, "Human friend, interested in going in for some fun? If you like human beauties, we just caught a holy maiden from an ancient clan of some major world—still fresh. If that's not to your taste, we also have top-grade goods: fox clan and snake clan female saints, even dragon clan dragon maidens."
Zhang Ruochen met the gaze of the gaunt goat-horned man and immediately felt a stinging pain in his eyes. The pain reached straight to his sacred soul, as if trying to tear it apart.
Although he couldn't see through the other's cultivation level, Zhang Ruochen was certain that the goat-horned man's cultivation exceeded the Three-Step Saint King realm. He was a quite formidable evil path expert.
The Demon Butterfly Princess transmitted to Zhang Ruochen, "We should leave here quickly. Yin Yang Hall is jointly controlled by Yin Yang Realm, ranked 372nd on the Myriad Realms Merit Ranking, Black Demon Realm, ranked 891st, and Myriad Evil Realm, ranked 1450th. A large number of evil path figures gather here, all of them vicious. Besides that, behind Yin Yang Hall are also the interests of Truth Divine Temple's divine disciples."
The nine Heavenly Fire Demon Butterflies rather detested the Yin Yang Hall and were also worried that their guest might be taken away by the goat-horned man, so they pulled Zhang Ruochen away quickly.
Zhang Ruochen maintained a calm expression as best he could, temporarily suppressing the anger in his heart. He did not act rashly but left with the nine Heavenly Fire Demon Butterflies.
"It won't be too late to attack the Moon God's Dao Field once Xiao Hei arrives in Truth Heaven Domain."
With Xiao Hei's attainments in formations, he could be of great help to Zhang Ruochen.
Moreover, Zhang Ruochen wanted to first purchase Saint King-level dragon souls and elephant souls to make himself stronger. Then, even if he encountered even more formidable evil path figures, he could handle them calmly.
The gaunt goat-horned man stared at Zhang Ruochen's retreating figure and muttered to himself, "Such powerful anger in his heart, and his strength is also considerable. What background does this human kid have? Whose enemy is he?"
The evil path figures in Yin Yang Hall committed every kind of evil and had countless enemies, so the goat-horned man didn't think much of it. Like leading a herd of livestock, he led the group of Rakshasa women back into Yin Yang Hall.
Hundred Flowers Palace was the Dao Field of the "Mandala Flower God" of Thousand Stamen Realm. Many talented heroes from Thousand Stamen Realm came here to comprehend the Truth Dao pattern diagrams.
If Yin Yang Hall could be compared to hell, Hundred Flowers Palace was heaven.
The palace was majestic, sacred light gushing forth. In various places within the buildings, colorful spiritual flowers were planted. Walking inside, one could smell the fragrant floral scents.
Entering Hundred Flowers Palace, the Demon Butterfly Princess called out sweetly, "Uncle Yao, we're back. We also brought a guest back."
A middle-aged man wearing a Purple Martial Crown walked out, exuding an aura of authority without anger. "After going to Truth Divine Temple to cultivate this time, did you cross the first sea layer?"
"Crossing the first sea layer isn't that easy. I only just reached the threshold of the first sea layer. Before I could even fight the gatekeeper, I fell into the sea myself," the Demon Butterfly Princess said.
The other eight Heavenly Fire Demon Butterflies also shook their heads, clearly failing to cross the first sea layer as well, performing even worse than the Demon Butterfly Princess.
The middle-aged man shook his head with a sigh and was about to scold them.
The Demon Butterfly Princess immediately said, "Uncle Yao, you should attend to the guest first. This is a distinguished guest we brought back—we must not neglect him."
Having said this, the Demon Butterfly Princess led the other eight Heavenly Fire Demon Butterflies and immediately flew away, disappearing into a garden of colorful spiritual flowers, with only a voice drifting back lightly: "We're going to comprehend the Truth Dao pattern diagrams now."
The middle-aged man shook his head with a sigh, then turned his gaze to Zhang Ruochen.
With his experience, the middle-aged man naturally wouldn't think Zhang Ruochen was really a distinguished guest. After all, true distinguished guests would have large numbers of cultivators following them, just like those divine sons and grandsons when they traveled—who wasn't surrounded by stars and moons, crowded with attendants?
"He's probably just some reckless youth they tricked into coming here to deal with me. Should be his first time in the Heavenly Capital Sacred Market," the middle-aged man judged.
Of course, the middle-aged man didn't neglect Zhang Ruochen. Smiling, he introduced himself: "I am Yao Jue Wang of Thousand Stamen Realm, temporarily stationed in Truth Heaven Domain, also handling the business affairs of Hundred Flowers Palace."
Earlier, Zhang Ruochen had already observed Yao Jue Wang. He was a Demon Emperor Bee, with cultivation no less than Su Jing's—a quite formidable figure.
Zhang Ruochen walked straight to a chair and sat down as if no one else was there. Lifting a teapot from the table, he poured himself a cup of tea brewed with sacred flower petals and said, "Since you're in charge of Hundred Flowers Palace, I won't waste time looking for someone else. Let's discuss it here."
"This kid... is somewhat unusual."
Yao Jue Wang was an Eight-Step Saint King level expert. Even with his aura restrained, an ordinary Half-Step Saint King standing before him would surely be trembling with fear, unable to behave as calmly and composedly as Zhang Ruochen.
Originally, Yao Jue Wang had intended to have someone else receive Zhang Ruochen, but now he changed his mind, wanting to personally test this young man. He wanted to see whether he truly had confidence or was just an audacious and reckless fool.
