# Chapter 3023: The Terrifying Powerful Being in the White Feathered Peacock Saintly Chariot
"Many cultivators know that the White Feathered Peacock Saintly Chariot is my carriage." Luo Ji said.
Zhang Ruochen appeared indifferent, saying, "The many cultivators you speak of are actually just a very few Saint realm cultivators on the Heavenly Court side. These lofty gods and goddesses, quite possibly, don't even know your name as Heavenly Beginning Fairy. How many years have you been a god?"
"Besides, the person sitting in your carriage might not necessarily be you. How much of the divine pill have you refined?"
Luo Ji gently shook her head, saying lightly, "This spiritual power divine pill you gave me is extraordinary. With my cultivation, without five hundred years, I can't completely refine and absorb it."
The sundial had been kept inside the White Feathered Peacock Saintly Chariot, always activated.
Toward Luo Ji, Zhang Ruochen felt very protective.
In the past, Zhang Ruochen's cultivation was far inferior to hers, so he couldn't see through her. He thought she was a heavenly maiden, lofty and high, with noble status, the future master of Heavenly Beginning Civilization. But after more contact, he realized her heart was much more fragile than women like Chi Yao, Bai Qinger, and Luo Sha.
Giving her the spiritual power divine pill was both to make up for the guilt in his heart and to tell her the important position she held in Zhang Ruochen's heart.
Luo Ji said, "How is your comprehension of the Luo River Diagram going? Is it helping you break through your realm?"
"If I eagerly try to comprehend the Luo River Diagram, I'm afraid you'll think I came to Heavenly Beginning Civilization for it, not for you." Zhang Ruochen drank a cup of divine brew.
Luo Ji stared at him, her brows slightly raised, saying, "You are both amusing and infuriating. A dignified realm master, yet you sulk with yourself."
"Sulking with myself?" Zhang Ruochen said.
Luo Ji said, "Sulking with me is the same as sulking with yourself, isn't it? What I said back then was indeed my fault. But haven't we already let it go? I haven't been angry with you about what happened in the Seven Star Imperial Palace, have I?"
"I just care about you too much! When two people are together, the most important thing is to make each other happy." After saying this, Zhang Ruochen felt it sounded very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
Luo Ji was deeply moved. She leaned close to Zhang Ruochen, her snow-white, jade-like face resting on his shoulder, speaking softly, "Let's never hurt each other again from now on!"
"Mm!" Zhang Ruochen gently held her.
Luo Ji's right hand, with fingers like snow-white scallions, trembled slightly. Her heart was quite conflicted.
Although Zhang Ruochen felt Luo Ji was a bit strange — with her reserved and indifferent personality, she would never take the initiative to lean on his shoulder — at this moment, his mind was occupied with the current situation, so he didn't think much about it.
In Luo Ji's mind, she kept recalling what King Yu had said to her. Finally, she gathered her courage and said in a very low voice, "Actually, I saw Kong Le on the Starry Sky Battlefield. She really looks like you. If... if we could also have a child, I wonder who they would resemble more?"
After saying this, her snow-white cheeks flushed red. She immediately closed her eyes, feeling the urge to rush out of the saintly chariot.
Even when she had accidentally had a physical relationship with Zhang Ruochen back then, she hadn't felt such genuine shyness as at this moment. She felt she was being too shameless, almost turning into a seductive woman like Luo Sha.
If King Yu hadn't explained the stakes to her, she would never have been able to say such words.
"Slap!"
The wine cup in Zhang Ruochen's hand fell to the ground. He looked at her in shock.
How could he not understand such a suggestive statement?
Zhang Ruochen didn't think deeply about it. He only felt that Luo Ji might truly lack a sense of security, or perhaps Chi Yao's pregnancy had touched her heart.
But, when a woman had taken the initiative to say such a thing, he couldn't pretend he hadn't heard it, could he?
Under the sundial, one night of tenderness.
Outside, only an instant had passed.
But clearly, the more powerful a living being, the harder it was to conceive. Not every female god was Chi Yao. This was destined to be a long-term matter, full of chance!
Zhang Ruochen sat on the soft white sacred beast hide, holding a round white jade mirror in his hands, carefully observing it.
This mirror was the legendary Luo River Diagram.
Luo Ji was as gentle as water, like a warm and demure little wife. She helped Zhang Ruochen comb his hair, put on his crown, insert his wooden hairpin, and then with her slender jade fingers, she straightened his lapels.
If the cultivators of the Heavenly Court saw their revered fairy in such a state, they would probably be heartbroken.
"The Luo River Diagram truly deserves to be the number one extraordinary book of the Daoist path. It's vast and profound. If I can comprehend it thoroughly, I will surely be able to discern all the secrets of this world. Perhaps I can even achieve immortality." Zhang Ruochen sighed.
Luo Ji said, "The Luo River Diagram was never an object of this world. Legend says that our ancestor encountered a divine river in the Void World. The river had no end ahead, no source behind. The void could not erode it, and time and space were uncertain. It was a divine turtle that carried the Luo River Diagram on its back from the divine river and delivered it into our ancestor's hands."
"Afterward, relying on the Luo River Diagram, our ancestor's cultivation soared, connecting heaven and earth, becoming the supreme of an era. Unfortunately, he entered the void space many times afterward but never found that divine river again."
Zhang Ruochen laughed, "Even you say this is a legend, so the truth of this matter is almost negligible. Sigh, wanting to comprehend the Luo River Diagram thoroughly is definitely not something that can be done in a short time. And now, with powerful enemies all around and fierce conflicts in the Sword Realm, I must improve my cultivation as quickly as possible."
To evolve the Taiji into Yin-Yang Two Forms, he didn't need to fully comprehend the Luo River Diagram.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen was only a subtle difference away from that step. It was like he had already touched the other's clothes but couldn't grasp them, always missing a little.
What he needed now was an instant of enlightenment.
Zhang Ruochen took out a spiritual power divine pill and swallowed it. Immediately, his body became bright, like a divine lamp blooming.
With his seventy-sixth rank initial stage spiritual power intensity, swallowing a divine pill was simply a waste. But, circumstances being what they were, he had no choice but to forcibly raise his spiritual power intensity to face challenges from all sides.
Zhang Ruochen's spiritual power far surpassed Luo Ji's, so naturally, he didn't need five hundred years to refine it.
The next morning, when he stepped down from the White Feathered Peacock Saintly Chariot, his spiritual power intensity had already risen to the seventy-sixth rank middle stage.
Before getting off, he gave the Heavenly Venerable Treasure Gauze to Luo Ji, which might come in handy at a critical moment.
Of course, the Heavenly Venerable Treasure Gauze was a betrothal gift he had promised Bai Qinger when marrying her. For now, it was only lent to Luo Ji.
Mo Bosha and Blood Radiance Divine Lord could both sense that Zhang Ruochen's spiritual power had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to yesterday. The two looked at each other, feeling even more awe toward the person inside the White Feathered Peacock Saintly Chariot.
In just one night, they had actually made Zhang Ruochen's spiritual power break through.
Blood Radiance Divine Lord said, "Thousand Horizontal One Vertical has escaped!"
"So impressive. Four great gods from the Hundred Clans Royal City went to chase him, and he still managed to get away." Zhang Ruochen sighed.
One must know, Thousand Horizontal One Vertical was not some ancient god. Among the great gods, he was considered quite young.
Mo Bosha said, "We will immediately lead the cultivators of the Undying Blood Clan to the Dark Great Triangle Star Domain. Will Realm Master Ruochen travel with us?"
"No, I need to go to the Yaksha Clan." Zhang Ruochen said.
Blood Radiance Divine Lord shook his head, saying, "It's useless. Last night, this lord and Elder Mo personally visited Jade Spirit God to discuss an alliance. Unfortunately, we were politely refused."
"I want to try again." Zhang Ruochen said.
A quarter of an hour later, the White Feathered Peacock Saintly Chariot drove toward the Yaksha Clan's sacred land, Night Rain Sea.
Zhang Ruochen drove the chariot. Six Yaksha Clan Saint realm cultivators, wearing hand and foot chains, ran behind the chariot, with the other ends of the chains tied to the vehicle.
Someone recognized the identities of these six Yaksha Clan Saint realm cultivators.
"That's... that's Han Shu Saint King, the guard captain of Night Sky Gambling City. Why is he wearing chains? What happened?"
"Who knows what kind of divine being is in that saintly chariot, daring to treat Yaksha Clan Saint realm cultivators like this?"
"It must be that Han Shu and the others made a mistake. The person in the chariot must be a Great Saint of the Yaksha Clan. Think about it, in the Hundred Clans Royal City, besides the Yaksha Clan themselves, who would dare to humiliate Yaksha Clan cultivators like this?"
...
When the White Feathered Peacock Saintly Chariot arrived at Night Rain Sea, Love Lotus Lord and the Yaksha Clan Emperor had already received the news. They personally led a large number of Great Saint powerhouses from the clan, waiting under Void Cloud Bridge.
Void Cloud Bridge was the entrance and exit gateway to Night Rain Sea, the bridge like void clouds.
As soon as the saintly chariot stopped, the Yaksha Clan Emperor immediately went forward, smiling, "Realm Master Ruochen graces us with your presence. I apologize for not welcoming you properly."
Before Zhang Ruochen could speak, Love Lotus Lord gave an order, saying, "Men, drag these blind fools away and execute them with soul-crushing rods."
A strange light flashed in Zhang Ruochen's eyes. He hadn't expected Love Lotus Lord to strike first. So he said, "These are all small matters. No need to make such a big fuss."
Love Lotus Lord said coldly, "The Gambling God went to the Yaksha Clan's gambling city, only won a bit of divine stone, and these blind, worthless wretches actually developed greedy thoughts, even offending Realm Master. If the Realm Master doesn't kill them, it's out of respect for our Yaksha Clan's face. But the Yaksha Clan has its own family laws. If they've committed a capital offense, they must die."
Clearly, before Zhang Ruochen arrived, Love Lotus Lord had already investigated the cause and effect of this matter.
By striking first like this, he cut off Zhang Ruochen's opportunity to use this as a pretext.
The Yaksha Clan Emperor said, "This emperor has already sent clan elders bearing generous gifts to apologize to Seven Hands Gambling God. In this cultivation world, having evil thoughts in one's heart can still be forgiven, but offending someone one cannot afford to offend must result in death. Realm Master Ruochen, please come inside. Our clan also has a gift to present to you."
The Yaksha Clan was a small clan compared to the ten great clans of the Hell Realm, but it was by no means a minor clan. It ruled over thirty-eight great worlds, each with a true god in residence.
During the Yaksha Clan's most prosperous period, it ruled over three hundred great worlds and was one of the ten great clans at that time.
For such a deeply established powerful clan to show such an attitude was quite intriguing. Zhang Ruochen smiled inwardly and looked toward the White Feathered Peacock Saintly Chariot, instructing, "Leave the carriage here. No one is to approach or disturb it."
The Yaksha Clan Emperor was moved and immediately gave orders, "Seal off the city area within ten li. No cultivator is allowed to approach this carriage. Violators will be killed without mercy."
Love Lotus Lord bowed to the White Feathered Peacock Saintly Chariot, asked no further questions, and accompanied Zhang Ruochen into Night Rain Sea.
Last night, when Blood Radiance Divine Lord and Ancient God Mo Bosha came to visit, they had intentionally pressured the Yaksha Clan, "inadvertently" revealing the identity of the person in the White Feathered Peacock Saintly Chariot in vague terms. Although they didn't name who it was, anyone who could make Zhang Ruochen, this arrogant and proud realm master, drive for them was certainly extraordinary.
More importantly, Blood Radiance Divine Lord and Ancient God Mo Bosha had invoked this person's name, making even Love Lotus Lord unable to harbor any suspicion.
The Yaksha Clan Emperor took out a thick stack of property deeds and placed them before Zhang Ruochen, saying, "These are the properties of the Wujian Pavilion in the Hundred Clans Royal City. The Yaksha Clan now returns them all."
"I thank the Emperor on behalf of my disciple."
Zhang Ruochen put away the property deeds and said, "Actually, this realm master came here to pay respects to Jade Spirit God."
The Yaksha Clan Emperor showed an expression of understanding. With Zhang Ruochen's current status and cultivation, he indeed had the qualifications to face Jade Spirit God directly. And he, this mundane clan emperor, could only treat Zhang Ruochen's disciple as an equal in their dealings.
