Chapter 2117 - He's the Key to the World Gate?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

 As the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring escaped, the vast underground space suddenly became dark and dead silent. Nothing else existed.

The Dragon Phantom Lord did not waste any of it. It opened its mouth and swallowed all the fog that filled the underground space. The fogs were released by the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring. When condensed, it was equivalent to dozens of drops of ordinary saint spring.

The Dragon Phantom Lord had gained a lot this time. He had swallowed thousands of drops of the saint spring, including nearly hundred drops of saint spring essence. It was enough to restore his strength and help him refine the Son of Darkness effectively.

In this way, he might be able to regain his peak strength soon.

A streak of holy light flashed. An exquisite jade ring appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s hand. It was a high-quality Ring of Dimensions that belonged to the Lord of Elixir.

As one of the five overlords of True Dragon Island, the Lord of Elixir was best at treasure hunting. He must have collected a lot of treasures. Naturally, he should be checked on.

His spiritual power scanned the Ring of Dimensions. Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed. As he had expected, even though the Lord of Elixir had refined many treasures, there were still countless treasures left. There were also more than a hundred million, however, there were no sacred pills.

Zhang Ruochen flipped his hand over and took out something from the jade ring. It was a seven-leafed clover, the leaves glowed with a strange light. It was bright and colorful, like an illusion.

Above the seven-leafed clover, all sorts of lights converged and formed a seven-colored dragon. It soared into the sky and looked very lifelike.

ROAR!

The seven-leafed clover shook and let out a dragon’s roar. It was deafening.

The Dragon Phantom Lord stared at the seven-leafed clover and said in surprise, “I didn’t expect that the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring really produced a Dragonform Grass. The Lord of Elixir is so lucky to have picked it.”

The Dragonform Grass was a rare sacred herb. To creatures with the Divine Dragon Bloodline, its value was higher than the Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herb.

All kinds of primordial beings with strong Divine Dragon Bloodline, such as the Heaven-devourer Dragon and the Azure Dragon, were especially eager to get a Dragonform Grass and transform into a divine dragon. Their achievements would be limitless.

“This Dragonform Grass must have been picked by the Lord of Elixir not long ago. Luckily, it wasn’t squandered,” Zhang Ruochen said with a smile.

If the Lord of Elixir hadn’t used the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring to cleanse his Elixir Qi, he might have refined the Dragonform Grass first.

After all, the Lord of Elixir’s previous form was an Emperor Grade Sacred Pill refined by the Divine Dragon Race. It contained the Dragon Qi, hence the Dragonform Grass would be of great benefit to him.

Looking around, Zhang Ruochen said, “Let’s recuperate here first. We’ll leave once our injuries are healed.”

Zhang Ruochen and the Dragon Evil Emperor had both suffered severe injuries from the chaotic spatial fault. They didn’t rest and healed because they had sensed the aura of the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring.

The True Dragon Island was filled with danger. It was dangerous not to be in a perfect state.

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Ruochen took out the Sundial and activated it. The Power of Time covered a radius of 600 meters.

He still had a lot of things to do. Naturally, he could not stay here for too long. Using the Sundial to heal himself was the best available option.

Sitting cross-legged under the Sundial, Zhang Ruochen took out a small amount of the essence of the holy spring from the Mercury Gourd and swallowed it in one gulp. He planned to heal himself and cultivate at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. Both Zhang Ruochen and the Dragon Phantom Lord had recovered from their injuries and their cultivation had improved.

The Dragon Phantom Lord took this opportunity to refine not only the saint spring he had obtained but also the Son of Darkness. Although his strength had not recovered to the peak, it was still something.

Only six hours had passed in the outside world during the three months under the Sundial. It was unlikely that there would be any major changes.

Zhang Ruochen flew out of the underground space and observed his surroundings. He whispered, ‘It seems that the divine-force eruption of the True Dragon Island is about to subside.’

He said this because he found that the surrounding space was stabilizing. It would not take long for it to return to its original state.

“The divine-force eruption usually does not last long. It can last for days or even hours. Somehow, this time it is shorter, so there should not be many treasures appearing,” said the Dragon Lord Phantom.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t care much. He’d already gained a lot from suppressing the Lord of Elixir. He had no intention to find more treasures but to find the key to the World Gate.

Zhang Ruochen and the Dragon Phantom Lord set off immediately, to catch up with Blackie and the others as soon as possible.

He’d left a Dimensional Mark on Blackie. Even though there were many spatial faults, he could still vaguely sense Blackie’s presence.

The key to the World Gate was of the utmost importance. They had to get it as soon as possible or things could change very quickly.

The space on the True Dragon Island had been gradually stabilized, it was a lot easier for Zhang Ruochen and the Dragon Phantom Lord to travel through the spatial faults.

Along the way, they met many cultivators, both from Celestial Court and Infernal Court.

Zhang Ruochen did not hesitate to kill all the cultivators from the Infernal Court.

After a while, Zhang Ruochen and the Dragon Phantom Lord finally found Blackie and the others, including Moyin, who had devoured all the souls of the Nether Serpent.

“Have you caught the old man?” Zhang Ruochen asked immediately.

Blackie raised his head and said, “Indeed, with my skills, he is my capture for sure. However, the old man is very stubborn. Whenever I mention the key to the World Gate, he will play dumb with me.”

As he spoke, Blackie took out the array and made the short and skinny old man appear.

When the Dragon Phantom Lord saw the short and skinny old man, it was quite a surprise for him and said, “You actually captured him.”

“Do you know him?” Zhang Ruochen asked immediately.

The Dragon Phantom Lord said, “Not long ago, there was a strange movement on the True Dragon Island. There was a strong aura of Origin that gushed out, startling all other overlords and me. When we arrived, we saw him emerging from the ground. We all tried to capture him, but he escaped in the end.”

“Did he only appear when the aura of Origin gushed out?” Zhang Ruochen asked again.

The Dragon Phantom Lord nodded. “Yes. That’s why we, the five overlords were interested in him. We thought he might be hiding some secrets.”

After hearing what the Dragon Phantom Lord said, Zhang Ruochen’s heart skipped a beat. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and he could not help but make a bold guess.

‘Could it be…’ Zhang Ruochen’s eyes lit up. He carefully observed the short and skinny old man and said, “Must the key to the World Gate be a key? Could it be a person? Or perhaps, the key has transmogrified into a human form.”

Blackie glared and said, “What did you say? How is this possible?”

Ao Xinyan and the others also looked surprised. They stared at the short and skinny old man who was sealed in the array, not understanding why Zhang Ruochen had such a guess.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Ruochen said, “None of us know how the key of the World Gate looks like. This old man appeared right when the key of the World Gate was born. He has the Kunlun Realm’s aura of Origin, which is extremely close to the heavenly and earthly precepts and could come and go like a shadow. He holds quite a lot of specialties.”

In fact, the Maiden of a Thousand Stars mentioned that the short and skinny old man had the Kunlun Realm’s aura of Origin. Since then, Zhang Ruochen had doubted about it.

“Perhaps Zhang Ruochen’s guess is right. We had a preconceived idea from the beginning. We didn’t think that the key to the World Gate would be a person, but when it comes to the Kunlun Realm’s aura of Origin, anything could be possible,” Blackie said seriously.

Hearing this, Ao Xinyan and the others could not help but sunk in thought. It was not that they did not want to believe Zhang Ruochen and Blackie, but they did not want to make any wrong moves.

If they had guessed wrongly, and the real key of the World Gate fell into the hands of the Infernal Court, it would be a disaster for Kunlun Realm.

Zhang Ruochen suddenly said, “Blackie, let me in.”

Although he didn’t know what Zhang Ruochen was about to do, Blackie still performed a technique to get him into the array.

Seeing Zhang Ruochen, the short and skinny old man was shocked. He quickly begged for mercy, “Saint Lord, please spare my life. I begged for another chance.”

“We are cultivators from Kunlun Realm. We came to True Dragon Island to find the key to the World Gate. We don’t wish it to fall into the hands of Celestial Court and Infernal Court. So, you don’t have to be so resistive,” Zhang Ruochen said calmly.

The short and skinny old man’s small eyes rolled. “But I really don’t know where the key to the World Gate is. I…”

Before he could finish, Zhang Ruochen suddenly struck out with his palm. The majestic Sacred Qi condensed into a terrifying palm print and hit the short and skinny old man’s chest.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t hold back. If he attacked with all his strength, even an ordinary Neverwither Supreme Saint might not be able to withstand it.

The short and skinny old man didn’t have time to react before he was sent flying.

The short and skinny old man was merely a One-step Saint King. If the old man took such a hit, no doubt, his soul would perish along with his body destroyed.

However, the truth was that although the short and skinny old man rolled a few times on the ground, nothing happened.

“Oh Saint Lord, let’s talk about it. I can get you anything but the key to the World Gate.” The short and skinny old man stood up and looked at Zhang Ruochen warily.

Zhang Ruochen said lightly, “Do you still wish to continue pretending? If I hadn’t guessed wrongly, you are the key to the World Gate.”

The short and skinny old man was shocked. Although he tried his best to hide it, his expression changed slightly.

Sensing this change, Zhang Ruochen sent a message to Blackie telepathically and asked him to bring the Dragon Phantom Lord in.

The moment the Dragon Phantom Lord appeared, the short and skinny old man’s expression changed drastically. He took a few steps back uncontrollably.

Under Zhang Ruochen’s command, the Dragon Phantom Lord swallowed the short and skinny old man.

A moment later, the Dragon Phantom Lord spat out the short and skinny old man again. He said to Zhang Ruochen, “Master, his body is completely made up of the Kunlun Realm’s power of Origin.”

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “Do you have anything else to say?”

“I shouldn’t have come out to watch the show,” the short and skinny old man sighed helplessly.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “You’re wrong. The Infernal Court has mobilized many cultivators this time. No matter how well you hide, they’ll definitely find a way to locate you. Kunlun Realm will be destroyed because of this. You will only be in safe hands if we found you first.”

After saying this, Zhang Ruochen and Dragon Phantom Lord left the array. They didn’t say anything more to the short and skinny old man.

Whether he wanted to or not, he would take him out of the True Dragon Island by force and let the plan of the Infernal Court fell apart.

At this moment, everyone had already believed that the short and skinny old man was the key to the World Gate and let out a long sigh of relief.

Since they had obtained the key to the World Gate, they should undoubtedly leave the True Dragon Island to avoid any further changes.

The group of Re-awakeners looked hesitant as if they did not want to leave so soon.

After a short discussion, Saint King Zixin said, “We plan to stay on the True Dragon Island for the time being to see if we can find the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring.”

“Do you really need the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring?” Zhang Ruochen asked curiously.

Saint King Zixin explained, “We need the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring to cleanse ourselves. While we recover our strength, we can erase the aura that we have been sleeping in for a long time. That way, it will be more convenient for us to travel to Kunlun Realm.”

The situation in Kunlun Realm was becoming much more complicated. The Re-awakeners did not want to hide in the Ying Yang Sea any longer. They wanted to play a greater role.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen could not help but smile. He flipped his hand and took out the Mercury Gourd. He poured out a large mass of saint spring, there were ten thousand drops.

Of course, these were only ordinary saint springs, not the essence of the saint springs.

‘Will these be enough?’ said Zhang Ruochen.

All of a sudden, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the large saint spring. Time and space seemed to have come to a standstill at this moment.

“Captain, how did you manage to have so much spring water from the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring?” Ao Xinyan was surprised.

The Sun-Moon Dragon Spring had long been spiritually connected. It appears that, other than the Gods of Divine Dragon Race, everyone else could only take a small amount of spring water.

Ao Xinyan wondered if Zhang Ruochen had obtained the source of the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring when he had taken out ten thousand drops of the saint spring water.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “When I accidentally found the Sun-Moon Dragon Spring, I used the Mercury Gourd to take some. Since you can use it, that’s great news.

“You don’t have to be humble. Just take it. If it’s not enough, I still have some left in the gourd.”

Hearing this, the Re-awakeners behaved strangely. They couldn’t help with their feelings going up and down the hill, yet no one dares to lay a hand on the saint spring.

The Re-awakeners had been born in the glorious Middle Age of Kunlun Realm. They were all top-notch geniuses and very egotistic. That was why they had actually looked down on Zhang Ruochen at first.

But now, their perception had changed greatly. The powerful strength that Zhang Ruochen had displayed in the battle against the Son of Darkness had shocked them greatly.

Even Vermilion Aurum and Thousandblade had strange looks in their eyes at this moment. Their eyes were locked on Zhang Ruochen.

Both of them had extraordinary origins. One had received guidance from the Dragon Lord, and the other had heard the preachings of Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations. Vermilion Aurum and Thousandblade had cultivated for hundreds of years and had many chances to attain the top-tier level of the Saint King Realm. They could be invincible in their own era, many regarded them as legendary.

Zhang Ruochen had cultivated for a much shorter time than them. The environment he cultivated in was far less than theirs, but he had attained more power than them. Perhaps this could be called a true legend.

After a short silence, the Vermilion Aurum said, “There is no need for too many saint springs. Fifty drops for one person will be enough to restore powers and cleanse the aura of the Re-awakeners. Thank you.”

As he spoke, Vermilion Aurum reached out a hand and took fifty drops of saint springs.

“I look forward to you becoming the second Saint Monk Xumi.” Thousandblade smiled.

Similarly, he took also fifty drops of saint springs.

Seeing Vermilion Aurum and Thousandblade attacked, Saint King Zixin and the others were no longer holding back. After all, this was what they needed.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t take back the remaining saint springs. Instead, he turned to Ao Xinyan and said, “Take these saint springs. They can be of use in the future.”

More than a dozen of Re-awakeners had only taken hundreds of drops of saint springs. The remaining of it could be used by more than one hundred and eighty Re-awakeners to recover their strength.

Ao Xinyan didn’t refute. With a wave of her hand, she put away the remaining saint springs. There would definitely be more Re-awakeners in the Ying Yang Sea.. The value of these saint springs was immeasurable.
