# Chapter 1631: Divine Envoy Wooden Staff
Su Jing sat within a hall, receiving a Saint King who had just arrived from Guanghan Realm.
His mind stirred, detecting the strange phenomenon within the Moon God's Dao Field, and a smile appeared on his face: "It seems the Divine Envoy's spiritual power intensity has already broken through to the fifty-second rank. Brother Wu Han, your timing is perfect."
Zhang Ruochen's sixty-four spiritual power avatars did not leave the Moon God's Dao Field. The Heavenly Capital Saint Market was unlike other places—too many experts gathered here, and there were certainly many with powerful spiritual power who could see through his spiritual power avatars.
If someone destroyed one of his spiritual power avatars, Zhang Ruochen's spiritual power intensity would drop significantly.
Spiritual power avatars were extremely useful, capable of handling many matters for the main body without requiring the main body to personally attend to everything. However, they could not be used recklessly.
Withdrawing the sixty-four spiritual power avatars took some time, and Zhang Ruochen re-condensed his spiritual power together.
"Uncle Jing asked me to come out of seclusion, seemingly for something important."
This piece of information was fed back to Zhang Ruochen by one of his spiritual power avatars.
Zhang Ruochen put away the third Six Desires Ancient Pill, stepped out of the inner space of the Time-Space Crystal, and headed toward the hall-shaped artifact refining building.
When he arrived, Su Jing and Mu Lingxi were already seated inside.
Apart from them, there was also a gaunt, hemp-clothed old man.
Although the hemp-clothed old man appeared decrepit and aged, Zhang Ruochen, relying on his powerful spiritual power, sensed that this person's body seemed to contain a boundless ancient sea. Even if it stirred but slightly, it could unleash earth-shattering destructive force.
Mu Lingxi blinked at Zhang Ruochen and secretly transmitted a message: "Be careful. That old fellow is a super-strong expert from the Wu Clan. I'm afraid he's here with ill intentions."
Zhang Ruochen gave Mu Lingxi a faint smile and sat down beside her with ease and composure.
Ever since Zhang Ruochen entered the hall, the hemp-clothed old man's expression had turned cold and stern. "The Divine Envoy is indeed accomplished at a young age, but does that mean you can disregard your elders?"
Zhang Ruochen found this baffling. "What do you mean by that?"
"I, the King, and King Jing are both top Saint Kings of Guanghan Realm, having lived for over a thousand years. Shouldn't we be considered your seniors? When you arrived, you immediately started exchanging glances with the Divine Maiden. Did you even consider the two of us? In the Shatuo Heavenly Domain, I heard the Divine Envoy was young and arrogant, quite frivolous. Today, I see the reputation is well-deserved." The hemp-clothed old man said.
Zhang Ruochen was not angry at all, only finding it amusing. "This is what you call disregarding elders? Haha."
"What are you laughing at?"
The hemp-clothed old man showed a hint of anger.
Zhang Ruochen said unceremoniously, "I laugh at you for making trouble out of nothing. First of all, we both have Saint King realm cultivation. You can be titled a king, and I can also be titled a king. You are not more noble than I am."
"If you were truly worthy of respect, seeing that you are older than me, I would naturally honor you and call you senior."
"But you, as a senior, are relying on your age to act arrogant. The moment I arrived, you started reprimanding me. Do you truly think I am a junior from your Wu Clan?"
The hemp-clothed old man's eyes bulged wide, his anger uncontrollable. Faintly, strands of icy-cold power seeped out.
Zhang Ruochen showed no fear and continued, "Secondly, I am a Divine Envoy appointed by the Moon God. My status in Guanghan Realm is probably above yours. When you see me, shouldn't you bow and address me as Lord Divine Envoy?"
"How dare you, you junior! Do you dare to be so rude to me, the King..."
The hemp-clothed old man was furious, erupting with surging Saint Might. Immediately, thunder rolled within the hall, roaring and deafening.
Su Jing's figure flickered, appearing between the two, and tried to mediate: "We are all Saint Kings of Guanghan Realm, people of status and reputation. If we start a conflict over such a trivial matter, won't it become a laughingstock if it spreads?"
"Trivial?"
The hemp-clothed old man roared deeply: "Then, in King Jing's eyes, is Zhang Ruochen killing my Wu Clan's unparalleled genius Wu Hao also a trivial matter?"
"Wu Hao was a Realm Son of Guanghan Realm. Even a Great Saint could not casually kill him. Zhang Ruochen is truly ruthless, joining forces with that demoness from Kunlun Realm to directly kill him."
"Even if Wu Hao truly committed a mistake, he should have been dealt with by our Wu Clan. Moreover, there are many doubts about this matter. Whether Wu Hao truly committed a grave error is still unknown."
"Perhaps some people were jealous of his status as Realm Son, so they killed him, wanting to take his place."
So it really was about Wu Hao. Zhang Ruochen sighed inwardly.
This time, even Su Jing snorted coldly: "Brother Wu Han, what do you mean by that? At the time, I personally reported this matter to Nine Spirits Great Saint, Annihilation Great Emperor, and Wu Ancestor. How could it be false? Are you doubting me as well?"
The hemp-clothed old man stared at Su Jing for a moment, then snorted lightly and sat back down on the chair, his expression uncertain.
Su Jing clearly did not want internal conflict within Guanghan Realm, so his expression quickly softened. He secretly transmitted to Zhang Ruochen: "King Wu Han is the elder brother of Wu Hao's grandfather, and he was very close to Wu Hao. Wu Hao was a genius that appears once in a thousand years in the Wu Clan. The entire Wu Clan had high hopes for him. Wu Hao died because of you, so King Wu Han naturally has some resentment in his heart."
"Actually, King Wu Han is a heroic figure who hates evil as much as an enemy. If it were him who discovered back then that Wu Hao had colluded with Shang Zihong to harm us, I'm afraid he would have personally struck and killed Wu Hao."
"So, Zhang Ruochen, as a young man, you should try to understand King Wu Han a little more. Don't argue with him. Once he calms down, he will understand right from wrong."
Zhang Ruochen showed a bitter smile and transmitted back: "Since Uncle Jing says so, I naturally have to give you face. Of course, if King Wu Han continues to be unreasonable and aggressive, I will not allow myself to be slandered and manipulated."
Su Jing nodded in satisfaction, then laughed loudly: "Everyone was a bit too agitated just now. It was all a misunderstanding. Divine Envoy, Divine Maiden, let me formally introduce you. This senior is the famous King Wu Han of Guanghan Realm, one of the few strong experts below Great Saint. From now on, King Wu Han will stay with me temporarily in Truth Heaven Domain, guarding the Mirror Fragrance Cliff Dao Field and the Moon God's Dao Field."
After a pause, Su Jing added: "King Wu Han has also brought the treasures that the Moon God bestowed upon the Divine Envoy."
King Wu Han still maintained a cold, stern face. He took out a crooked wooden staff from his storage vessel.
He did not hand it to Zhang Ruochen but passed it to Su Jing.
Zhang Ruochen was still full of anticipation for the treasures bestowed by the Moon God, his gaze fixed on that wooden staff.
Su Jing's face was filled with envy as he held the staff: "This is made from a section of the Tree God's root, personally refined by the Moon God into a Divine Envoy Wooden Staff, possessing boundless power. Zhang Ruochen, from now on, you are the true Divine Envoy of the Moon God."
"You should know that in the Heavenly Court Realm, only Great Saints are qualified to become a god's Divine Envoy. You are an unprecedented exception. Shouldn't you quickly thank the Moon God?"
Zhang Ruochen stood up, bowed deeply toward the Moon God statue outside the hall, then grabbed the Divine Envoy Wooden Staff.
Contrary to Zhang Ruochen's expectations, the Divine Envoy Wooden Staff was no different from an ordinary tree root, showing no signs of extraordinariness.
Zhang Ruochen mobilized his Saint Qi and injected it into the Divine Envoy Wooden Staff, but the staff showed no reaction at all.
"This is... the infinitely powerful Divine Envoy Wooden Staff?"
Zhang Ruochen felt somewhat disappointed.
Su Jing laughed: "Gods cannot interfere with matters in Truth Heaven Domain, so the Divine Envoy Wooden Staff cannot display its power here. Of course, if you are attacked by a Great Saint in Truth Heaven Domain, the Great Saint's power will activate the Divine Envoy Wooden Staff, temporarily granting you a portion of the Moon God's divine power."
Zhang Ruochen showed a delighted expression: "How strong is that portion of divine power?"
"Enough to save your life under a Great Saint's attack, more than sufficient." Su Jing said.
Zhang Ruochen asked again: "If I leave Truth Heaven Domain, how much power can the Divine Envoy Wooden Staff unleash?"
Su Jing showed a contemplative expression, then shook his head: "How much divine power a Divine Envoy can borrow is determined by the god. Outsiders cannot know. However, even the most trusted Divine Envoy of a god can at most borrow one-tenth of the god's divine power, no more."
As long as he could borrow the Moon God's divine power, even if it were only one-thousandth, it would probably be enough to sweep away all living beings below Great Saint.
This Divine Envoy Wooden Staff was truly a priceless treasure.
"I've been helping her all this time, and finally, this Moon God Empress has been generous for once." Zhang Ruochen held the Divine Envoy Wooden Staff as if it were a precious treasure.
King Wu Han snorted coldly: "Even a Divine Envoy cannot casually borrow a god's divine power. If abused, the Moon God will surely take back the Divine Envoy Wooden Staff and strip you of your Divine Envoy status."
"Of course I understand. Besides, in Truth Heaven Domain, this Divine Envoy Wooden Staff cannot display its power anyway." Zhang Ruochen said this, but a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.
"The Moon God chose this moment to send me the Divine Envoy Wooden Staff. What does it mean? Could it be that my actions in Truth Heaven Domain have already attracted the attention of some Great Saints? Are even Great Saints preparing to kill me?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Ruochen's joy vanished completely, replaced by a chill in his hands and feet.
Su Jing laughed: "Actually, the Divine Envoy Wooden Staff has many other wonderful uses. For example, when encountering important matters, holding the staff allows you to communicate with the Moon God's divine thought. This is something that even the Great Saints of Guanghan Realm envy."
It could be said that Zhang Ruochen was now the Moon God's number one favored person. Holding the Divine Envoy Wooden Staff was like the Moon God herself appearing. All living beings of Guanghan Realm would have to bow to him. Only Great Saints held transcendent status, not included in this.
With the identity of the Moon God's Divine Envoy, he could sit on equal footing with the Great Saints of Guanghan Realm.
Zhang Ruochen was not a petty person who would hold a grudge, so he did not deliberately use the Divine Envoy Wooden Staff to intimidate King Wu Han, leaving some face for this top Saint King realm expert.
King Wu Han deliberately avoided Zhang Ruochen's gaze, no longer as aggressive as before.
He took out a white jade ancient mirror and handed it to Mu Lingxi: "Divine Maiden, this is the Enlightenment Mirror that the Moon God Empress asked me to bring to you."
"While you are in Truth Heaven Domain, the Moon God Empress cannot personally teach you, but the Enlightenment Mirror possesses mysterious and marvelous power. It can not only lecture you on the Dao but also explain some doubts you may have in cultivation."
"Thank you, King Wu Han." Mu Lingxi accepted the Enlightenment Mirror.
Leaving the hall, Zhang Ruochen did not immediately go into seclusion again. Instead, he split his spiritual power into two parts. One part remained guarding his main body.
The other part of his spiritual power condensed into a spiritual power avatar with an intensity reaching the fifty-fifth rank. This avatar followed Su Jing to visit those cultivators who had sent invitations. If possible, Zhang Ruochen was naturally willing to make some friends and set up Time Arrays and Space Arrays for their Dao Fields. With the strength of his spiritual power avatar, it was more than sufficient for this task.
As for Zhang Ruochen's main body, he went with Mu Lingxi to find Xiao Hei, wanting to see how well he had controlled the Three-Legged Corpse-Eating Insect.
Zhang Ruochen had a plan in mind that required the power of the Three-Legged Corpse-Eating Insect to implement.
