God Emperor Chapter 1239

Chapter 1239 - Dragon Fire Island

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

The human being was sitting in the corner without moving. It didn’t have any life force. It was a corpse instead of a living being.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t a coward. However, he didn’t even notice it after sitting in front of him for several days, which was terrifying.

There were many weird things on the ancient ghost boat. Even saint thoughts could be refined into evil thoughts. Everything was possible.

Which was why Zhang Ruochen was careful even facing a lifeless corpse. He got close to it with caution.

Nobody knew how long that corpse had been sitting there. It was covered with dust, but it hadn’t rotted yet.

There was a small bloody hole between its eyebrows, and there were cracks everywhere, which made its head look like cracked china.

The blood hole between its eyebrows was what had taken its life.

“It’s been dead for such a long time, yet it still hasn’t rotted yet. It must have once been a great being,” Blackie said.

“If he really was a great being, his body should release terrifying forces even after he died so that ordinary creatures can’t get close. However, I’ve been in the cabin for a long time, yet I couldn’t detect anything.”

Zhang Ruochen pinched his chin and felt confused. And then, his eyes gleamed. He said, “There must be some valuable with him that covers his forces.”

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t afford to be reckless at all in a place like the ancient ghost boat. He released his mind power and made sure there were no dangers before walking to the corpse.

There was a white token hung on a silver thread.

Zhang Ruochen took the token off and wiped away the dust.

There were eight sword inscriptions on the token, and each inscription had different conception.

Zhang Ruochen released his mind power and infused the token with it.

All of a sudden, the eight sword inscriptions released white light. They gushed out and turned into eight daggers that were three inches long, wielding eight different sword techniques.

All the eight sword techniques looked mysterious, but Zhang Ruochen could feel that their forces were different, especially the seventh and the eighth sword techniques, which were changeable and intricate. Even Zhang Ruochen had to back off from them.

Zhang Ruochen immediately took out his mind power and said in a thrilled tone, “‘Celestial Sword Technique’ of Wan Xiangcheng?”

Wan Xiang City was called ‘Sword City, which was ranked one of the four sword master holy places, together with Sword Paviliion of Taichi, Pluto Sword Tomb of Wang family, and Martial God Mountain.

Wan Xiang City’s ‘Celestial Sword Technique’ was world-renowned, so Zhang Ruochen also knew something about it.

It was said that the founders of Wan Xiang City created it by comprehending ‘Wordless Sword Manual.’

The first level of the sword techniques corresponded to Sword One.

The second level of sword techniques corresponded to Sword Two.

Hence the eighth level of sword techniques corresponded to Sword Eight.

Compared to ‘Wordless Sword Manual,”Celestial Sword Technique’ was easier to comprehend. Besides, the sword master conception could be transformed into sword techniques directly.

A sword warrior could also comprehend Sword One, Sword Two and Sword Three.

Eight hundred years ago, Sword Emperor Xue Hongchen added level nine and level ten to ‘Celestial Sword Technique,’ which made it the most powerful sword technique in Kunlun’s Field.

Zhang Ruochen turned the token around, and ‘Wan Xiang City’ was crafted on it.

“This person was carrying the eight-sword token of Wan Xiang City, which means he refined the eighth level of ‘Celestial Sword Technique.’ He must be a terrific person,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Blackie said, “I reckon this person’s been dead for three hundred years.”

‘Three hundred years ago, there were nine sword saints in Wan Xiang City. It crushed the other three sword master holy places and was ranked the first. Out of the nine sword saints, six of them were disciples of Sword Emperor. Three of the sword saints died, and two went missing.”

“That person must have been the most powerful being in Wan Xiang City three hundred years. He was the second disciple of Sword Emperor, Xue Lanshan.”

After thinking for a while, Zhang Ruochen figured out who that was.

Sword Emperor only admitted females as his disciples, yet he was willing to admit Xue Lanshan, which showed the potential of Xue Lanshan.

All the monks thought that Xue Lanshan was the heir of the Sword Emperor.

Xue Lanshan didn’t let the Sword Emperor down. After the Sword Emperor went missing, he quickly became the first being in Wan Xiang City.

If he hadn’t died here three hundred years ago, he might’ve comprehended Sword nine and become the most powerful sword warrior in the world.

“Xue Lanshan was mighty. Perhaps only a few beings below supreme saints could rival him, yet he was killed on the ancient ghost boat. Is there something more terrifying than the evil saint thought bodies?”

Zhang Ruochen’s face paled as he realized he had underestimated the danger of the ancient ghost boat.

Zhang Ruochen had heard from Ao Xinyan that after someone reached the state of saint, the more profound his cultivation was, the easier it was for him to die in Yin and Yang Ocean. He hadn’t believed that before, but now it all made sense.

Zhang Ruochen took the eight sword token and kept searching the corpse. He took out a palm-sized hexagonal stone.

The stone looked rugged. It was crimson with dragon inscriptions on.

Blackie looked at the hexagonal stone in Zhang Ruochen’s hand. It looked excited and said, “This is the print of Dragon Fire Island. I know why Xue Lanshan came to Yin and Yang Ocean now. He wanted to go to Dragon Fire Island to get the Nan Spirit Dragon Fire to use it to refine his saint body. He wanted to become a supreme saint.”

Zhang Ruochen looked pleased and said, “Is there really Nan Spirit Dragon Fire in Yin and Yang Ocean?”

Nan Spirit Dragon Fire was superior to Wuliang Divine Fire. It came from the divine dragons, and it could burn the sky and the ocean.

Blackie said, “Only Dragon Fire Island has Nan Spirit Dragon Fire in Kunlun’s Field. A long time ago, the youngsters of the divine dragon race would go to Dragon Fire Island to bring Nan Spirit Dragon Fire into their control after they reached the state of saint.”

“Zhang Ruochen, you should also go try to bring Nan Spirit Dragon Fire under your control. You can use Nan Spirit Dragon Fire to fight the evil saint thought bodies. Besides, Nan Spirit Dragon Fire can also be of great use when you try to seize the Divine Dragon Sun and Moon Chaos Tower.”

Zhang Ruochen had decided to take it after learning about Nan Spirit Dragon Fire.

Nan Spirit Dragon Fire had way more functions than described by Blackie.

However, it wasn’t an easy task to get onto Dragon Fire Island. One needed to use a door print to get in.

Zhang Ruochen put the door print into his space ring.

And then, Zhang Ruochen kept searching. He eventually found the reason why the scent of the body didn’t spread.

It was because of the Buddhist beads on his right wrist.

“There are Buddhist Emperor forces on those beads. Is that a mind power valuable made by the Buddhist Emperor?”

Zhang Ruochen was very familiar with the forces of the Buddhist Emperor, so he easily recognized it.

Blackie nodded and said, “Xue Lanshan carried this strong of Buddhist beads in Yin and Yang Ocean because he wanted to cover his forces to avoid the dangers in Yin and Yang Ocean. Unfortunately, he was killed on the ancient ghost boat before he could reach Dragon Fire Island.”

The Buddhist beads were much more advanced than those given to Zhang Ruochen by Yintuoluo.

If I wear this string of Buddhist beads, I can avoid the evil saint thought bodies, and the Immortal Temple won’t be able to track me anymore, Zhang Ruochen thought.

Zhang Ruochen had been at a great disadvantage because the Immortal Temple was able to figure out where he was. No matter where he ran to, he would be caught up with.

As long as he could avoid that, he could better hide himself.

Just as Zhang Ruochen took out the Buddhist beads, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes and stared at Zhang Ruochen.

At the same time, a rumbling noise came from the body, and its skin started to gleam with holy light.

The powerful holy Qi ripples were spread through the entire ancient ghost boat.

After Xue Lanshan died, his holy Qi had gathered in his body, but at this moment, it burst out.

All the evil saint thought bodies were shocked, making ear-piercing sounds, rushing toward the center of the saint power ripples.

“Sir Xue Lanshan, I just wanted to borrow two things you have. After I leave Yin and Yang Ocean, I’ll definitely return your body and your remaining objects to Wan Xiang City.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to rip off a dead person, and besides, it was already very rewarding for him to find the door print and Buddhist beads on Xue Lanshan.

He needed to return the two treasures to the young generation of Xue Lanshan.

After hearing what Zhang Ruochen said, the corpse closed his eyes.

Blackie was relieved. It stared at the body and said, “Zhang Ruochen, you might’ve been killed already if it wasn’t for what you just said.”

“Really?”

“For someone like Xue Lanshan, he could leave something behind even after he died.”

Blackie said, “With the protection of Buddhist beads, the saint soul of Xue Lanshan might not wither away completely. Even if there’s only one trace of soul left in his body, he could easily kill you.”

Zhang Ruochen was relieved and said, “Let’s go. I can feel a large group of evil saint thought bodies coming here.”

Zhang Ruochen saluted Xue Lanshan’s body and put the body back into the space ring and left the cabin with Blackie.

Zhang Ruochen met more than ten evil saint thought bodies. He was wearing twelve Buddhist beads, but he was able to dodge them all.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t go look for Ao Xinyan and the alcohol maniac. It would be impossible to find them here.

Zhang Ruochen kept solidifying his cultivation in the following three days and refined the essences from the dragon pearls.

On the same day, Zhang Ruochen saw another ancient ghost boat on the ocean. That ancient ghost boat gleamed with silver light.

It was the silver ancient ghost boat taken by Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon and the saint beasts from Ancestral Dragon Mountain.

“Finally, we’ve caught up with them.”

Zhang Ruochen squinted his eyes and smiled.

The silver ancient ghost boat was moored beside an island.

Blackie jumped on the shoulder of Zhang Ruochen and pointed at the island in the distance. It said, “That’s Dragon Fire Island.”
