# Chapter 3705: Shang Tian Arrives in Person
Yao Shenzun possessed such cultivation and was the daughter of Shang Tian, yet she had secretly married Buzhen Zhenjun.
Zhang Ruochen actually felt a hint of admiration for the deceased Buzhen Zhenjun.
Space completely stabilized.
Yao Shenzun landed back on the ground, standing behind Qingcheng Yun. She waved her arm, and a palm-wide battle sword appeared in her palm, with Radiant Divine Power surging along the blade.
Her Shenzun aura radiated unrestrainedly.
The entire Space Divine Temple, even the entire Qichen Heaven Domain, was enveloped by Radiant Divine Power.
But Zhang Ruochen did not spare her another glance, keeping his gaze fixed on Qingcheng Yun. "Do you know that she is the mother of Jia Tianxia?"
Qingcheng Yun said calmly, "Even if Jia Tianxia and Buzhen Zhenjun are members of the Quantity Organization, it doesn't prove anything. Shang Yao has little connection with them."
Zhang Ruochen said, "You insist on taking her away?"
"A master's command is hard to defy." Qingcheng Yun sighed.
He appeared to maintain a low profile, yet he had forcefully broken into the Space Divine Temple, demonstrating his determination to take Yao Shenzun away. He was outwardly humble but inwardly arrogant.
This type of person had deep schemes, as proud as Yan Wuque and Yu Dongxuan, but their pride was not outwardly displayed.
However, if Zhang Ruochen allowed Qingcheng Yun to take the person away so easily, the authority he had painstakingly built would immediately collapse. From now on, who would fear him?
Zhang Ruochen said, "War God Gongming, would the Heavenly Court allow a Quantity Venerable to leave the Heavenly Court?"
"Absolutely impossible."
Zhao Gongming strode over with a dragon's step and a tiger's walk, appearing beside Zhang Ruochen, his killing intent radiating outward.
After learning of the relationship between Yao Shenzun and Jia Tianxia, Zhao Gongming had indeed hesitated for a moment. After all, Shang Tian and the Heavenly Venerable had a very deep friendship, so he could not possibly be a member of the Quantity Organization.
But Qingcheng Yun's appearance made Zhao Gongming realize that this matter was extraordinary.
Qingcheng Yun frowned. "War God should understand Master. If Shang Yao were truly a Quantity Venerable, there would be no need for the Heavenly Court to act. He himself would enforce the family law."
Zhang Ruochen said, "Not necessarily! Duotian Divine Emperor is dead, Yi Tianjun is dead. Among Shang Tian's direct children, Shang Yao is the most outstanding. Shang Tian might not be able to bring himself to do it!"
Qingcheng Yun's face instantly turned somber, a hint of coldness appearing in his eyes.
The deaths of Duotian Divine Emperor and Yi Tianjun were more or less connected to Zhang Ruochen.
Moreover, many talented descendants of the Shang Clan had died at Zhang Ruochen's hands.
This kind of hatred meant that reconciliation between the two sides was impossible.
Zhang Ruochen knew this too, so he simply tore off all pretense and was determined to keep Yao Shenzun.
Qingcheng Yun was extremely skilled, quickly controlling his emotions. He looked at Zhao Gongming and said, "Shang Yao is not a Quantity Venerable! Even if she were, the Heavenly Venerable would give Master some face and hand her over to him for handling."
Zhao Gongming knew that Qingcheng Yun was telling the truth. This decisive man was once again caught in hesitation.
If a rift between the Heavenly Venerable and Shang Tian were caused over a Shang Yao, it would not be a blessing for the Heavenly Court.
Zhang Ruochen said, "The person absolutely cannot be handed over to him! If Shang Yao returns to Paradise Realm, Shang Tian will surely erase all memories related to the Quantity Organization from her mind. By then, it will be too late! If you want to take her away, let me search her soul first. Or let Shang Tian come to the Space Divine Temple in person. Your weight is not enough."
The killing intent erupting from Yao Shenzun shot straight into the sky.
Being looked down upon, Qingcheng Yun clearly became emotional. Rule Divine Patterns surged out from his body like billions of tentacles. "If the Grand Elder has no evidence and still wants to search Shang Yao's soul, then tomorrow, this god can search the souls of all gods in Kunlun Realm! You are the Grand Elder of the Space Divine Temple appointed by the Heavenly Venerable. Shang Qiu never intended to be your enemy. Why must you push so hard? Why must you kill a thousand enemies while losing a thousand of your own?"
He was at the peak of Great Unbound Infinite, with a cultivation level not inferior to Dizu Shenjun.
Zhang Ruochen's attitude was firm, with no intention of compromise. The Taiji Four Symbols Diagram appeared behind him. "Then let me see who can take her away today."
Zhao Gongming advised, "Go back and report to Shang Tian! Let Shang Tian provide evidence that Yao Shenzun is not a Quantity Venerable. During this time, I can guarantee her safety."
Faced with such a fearless Zhang Ruochen, Qingcheng Yun truly found it troublesome.
He actually wanted to make a move and gauge Zhang Ruochen's combat power. But he was extremely rational. If he attacked now, he would not only be in the wrong, but with Jie Tian and Zhao Gongming present, he would definitely not gain any advantage.
Just as Qingcheng Yun was about to retreat...
"Hua!"
Suddenly, the sky became filled with colorful clouds.
The blue-gray sky turned purple-red.
A deep voice came from the depths of the clouds: "Since you want to see me, I have come!"
The Heaven and Earth Rules and the Heaven and Earth Qi of the entire Qichen Heaven Domain began to boil. A pressure that could intimidate ten thousand epochs crushed through layers of space, landing on all cultivators in the Space Divine Temple.
In an instant, a large number fell to their knees.
Qingcheng Yun bowed toward the heavens: "Greetings, Master!"
Zhang Ruochen only felt a violent tremor in space. His proud spatial mastery was broken, and he was forcibly pulled into a Divine Realm World. Cotton-like colorful clouds floated both beneath his feet and in the sky above.
Powerful Rule Divine Patterns, like chains, crisscrossed in all directions.
The others were also pulled in.
Shang Tian's divine body was a hundred million miles tall, ten thousand times larger than a star, like a cosmic giant. His pupils, over a million miles in diameter, were dark purple, with demon clouds and lightning interweaving inside, containing terrifying power capable of destroying an entire star domain.
Zhang Ruochen finally truly felt Shang Tian's might. Such a figure truly deserved the title of All Heavens.
One person was one heaven!
Zhao Gongming transmitted his voice: "It's Shang Tian's Demon Corpse!"
"Just a demon corpse? I thought it was the Three Corpses True Self." Zhang Ruochen's heart sank again.
Shang Tian's three corpses were the Divine Corpse, Demon Corpse, and Origin Corpse.
Every cultivator who practiced the "Three Corpses Dao Refinement" produced different three corpses. Each had their own path!
Every era had a batch of stunningly brilliant figures.
In the later years of the Great Venerable, there was an era of genius explosion. Hao Tian, Sixth Patriarch, Heavenly Mother, Xumi Saint Monk, Kong Faning, Nutian Shenzun, Wen Tianjun, Xu Fengjin, Fengdu Dadi, and others were all born in that era.
In the next era, the most famous were undoubtedly Shang Tian and Undying War God. Both had cultivated for a million years, only seven or eight epochs, yet they already stood at the pinnacle of the universe.
Dragon Lord, Bing Huang, Dizu Shenjun, and others were tens of thousands of years later.
Three hundred thousand years ago, when the most top cultivators of the same generation were still struggling to break through to Infinite, Shang Tian dared to challenge the All Heavens of that time. Although he lost, it was a glorious defeat.
Shang Tian broke through to Indestructible Infinite a hundred thousand years ago and had not yet reached the middle stage of Indestructible Infinite. The reason he was considered equal to Undying War God was due to three reasons.
First, he came from a poor background, with no connections or powerful bloodline inheritance, yet he attained the position of All Heavens. This was extremely rare!
Among the current All Heavens, it was hard to find a second.
Second, he created the divine ability "Eight Techniques of Heaven's Desolation," which shook the universe.
Third, and most importantly, he practiced the "Three Corpses Dao Refinement."
Although this technique could cultivate three divine bodies of equal combat power, the cultivation speed was extremely slow, and breaking through realms was very difficult. The higher the cultivation, the more severe this situation became.
Throughout history, almost no one had broken through to Indestructible Infinite.
But Shang Tian did it!
Once he performed "Three Corpses Separation," he transformed into three Indestructible Infinite initial stage existences. Who dared to measure his combat power?
It could be said that every time he broke through a realm, it put pressure on the top experts of the world.
He was a terrifying existence that could potentially break the balance of the universe.
Of course, with his cultivation level, every time he performed the Three Corpses Separation, he had to pay a considerable price. He could not do it at will.
Even knowing Shang Tian's peerless reputation, facing him, Zhang Ruochen remained calm inside. He looked up and said, "Shang Tian has graced us with his presence. May I ask for your guidance?"
Shang Tian said in an almost emotionless tone, "Didn't you claim that if I came in person, I could take Shang Yao away?"
"Exactly."
Zhang Ruochen would be crazy to openly confront Shang Tian.
Since Qingcheng Yun and Shang Tian had come one after another for Yao Shenzun, making such a big fuss, Hao Tian would surely understand that Yao Shenzun must be a Quantity Venerable.
The goal had been achieved. There was no need to stubbornly persist.
Yao Shenzun's eyes showed a hint of a smile, as if mocking Zhang Ruochen.
"Wait!"
Jie Tian blocked Shang Tian, Yao Shenzun, and Qingcheng Yun who were about to leave. He puffed out his chest and strode forward imposingly. "Zhang Ruochen agreed to let the person go, but I did not. Zhang Ruochen is too young, so he gives you, a senior, face. But I am on equal footing with you. Why should I give you face? If we want to fight, it should be heaven against heaven."
Zhang Ruochen was stunned.
He never expected this!
What was wrong with the old fellow?
So tough?
Did he really want to become Shang Tian's son-in-law so badly?
How weak he was, didn't he know himself?
Shang Tian's demon pupils fell on Jie Tian's skinny body, clearly also surprised.
Jie Tian secretly transmitted to Zhang Ruochen: "Yu Dongxuan and those people deliberately sent Shang Yao to the Space Divine Temple, surely to force Shang the Bearded to make a move against me. If I don't go along with their plan, how will they take the bait? You go to Soul Realm quickly. Don't worry about things here!"
Zhang Ruochen didn't expect the old fellow to be so cunning. He transmitted to Zhao Gongming: "The Space Divine Temple is in your hands, Brother Gongming. I must leave for Soul Realm immediately."
Zhao Gongming said, "Is everything arranged? Do you have confidence?"
"None of those people are simple. How could there be one hundred percent confidence?" Zhang Ruochen appeared very composed.
"Boom!"
Jie Tian activated Ancestor Divine Power, pointing a finger that pierced through Shang Tian's Divine Realm World, forming a spatial passage leading straight out of the Heavenly Court.
He was proud and lofty, waving his hand. "Ruochen, go first! As long as the old ancestor is here, no one can ride roughshod over your Space Divine Temple."
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, thinking about how much Ancestor Divine Power Jie Tian had consumed just to show off.
Forget it. If he liked showing off, let him show off.
Zhang Ruochen's figure flickered and disappeared into the spatial passage.
Qingcheng Yun watched the departing Zhang Ruochen, his eyes flickering uncertainly. He really couldn't figure out why Zhang Ruochen, knowing this was a trap set for him, would still jump in willingly.
Was there really such a person in this world who would risk life and death for a bond of love and loyalty?
The spatial passage closed. Shang Tian did not intercept Zhang Ruochen.
