After Bai Qing ‘er threw Blackwraith’s body into the void, she transformed into Ji Fanxin. She took Zhang Ruochen, Fei Zhong, and Gong Nanfeng to the Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt in a high-profile manner using the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.
The appearance of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace meant that Zhang Ruochen had appeared and attracted an endless stream of powerful figures.
Of course, this was not what Zhang Ruochen wanted. It was all Bai Qing ‘er baiting.
Bai Qing ‘er’s courage was astonishing. She became a fisherman and used Zhang Ruochen as bait to lure all the powerful figures in the world.
…
…
Soon, a fish took the bait.
“Zhang Ruochen, you were shot by the Arrow of Deva Path. Why aren’t you dead? Since you’re not dead, please hand over the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin and our clan’s Supreme Artifact, the Myriad Curse Bead.”
A Supreme Saint of the Nether Clan with three black horns stood in the void. His Precept Domain spread out, and an endless mountain appeared. The Power of Death spread out for 100,000 miles.
From Afar, it looked like the Nether Realm. It floated in the universe, stopping space and preventing Zhang Ruochen from escaping.
His name was Lord Hillfog. He was from Nether Clan’s Hollow Chasm, one of the 17 forces that knew about the birth of the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin. His cultivation had reached the Paramount Realm. He was an old monster that had been cultivated for more than 10,000 years.
Behind Lord Hillfog were the seven Supreme Saints of the Hollow Chasm. They were mighty, and their cultivation was above the Thousand-Koan Realm.
It was obvious that all the powerhouses of Hollow Chasm were here for the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin.
Zhang Ruochen stood in front of the gate of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace and stroked the long hair of Huang Tian. There was a deep sense of helplessness in his eyes. He was about to persuade them to leave as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, Bai Qing ‘er was not a woman who liked to talk nonsense. She had already made her move.
The Blizzard.
In an instant, in the dark universe, the snow-covered 100,000 miles. All the dark mountains in Lord Hillfog’s Precept Domain were dyed white. Apart from Lord Hillfog himself, the other seven top-notch Supreme Saints of Hollow Chasm were frozen.
“Who are you? How dare you make an enemy out of Hollow Chasm?”
Lord Hillfog was terrified. He did not expect Zhang Ruochen to have such a peerless powerhouse by his side. He could penetrate his Precept Domain and kill the Seven Supreme Saints silently?
The strongest of the seven Supreme Saints had reached the Banshi Isshou Realm. Unfortunately, they all lost their breath and the fluctuations of the path.
What made Lord Hillfog even more terrified was that the precepts he’d released were frozen. It was difficult to control them, and he couldn’t do as he pleased.
“Run!”
Lord Hillfog sped away.
Crack
Fei Zhong jumped out of the void and chopped off his head with his ax.
Although Lord Hillfog wasn’t as powerful as Fei Zhong, it wasn’t to the extent that he couldn’t even block a single ax. It was mainly because he’d been suppressed by the Blizzard, and his combat power had significantly decreased.
Whoosh
His corpse and head were quickly wrapped in ice and snow.
Bai Qing ‘er pointed across space. The space within dozens of miles collapsed and swallowed the eight top-notch Supreme Saints of Hollow Chasm.
When the space closed, Zhang Ruochen saw all the frozen corpses turn into oblivion without leaving a trace.
In the next half a month, the Sevenstar Imperial Palace flew at an unhurried pace.
On the way, they met seven or eight waves of cultivators, including the Fane of Destiny’s Lord of Destiny, the leaders of the ten dark forces, and the top-notch Supreme Saints of the ten clans of Infernal Court.
Without exception, anyone who tried to block their way was killed.
Zhang Ruochen saw with his own eyes that dozens of powerful Supreme Saints had their Neverwither physique shattered and turned into blood mist.
Lord Zhu Ling, one of the ten Lords of Destiny of the Destiny Division, was refined into ashes by the divine flame.
The abbot of the Nilakantha Temple, the head of one of the ten dark forces, Grandmaster Karuna, meditated with Bai Qing ‘er. In the end, his inner demon exploded, and he killed himself with a palm strike.
…
Most of the time, Bai Qing ‘er did not make a move. The one who made a move was Fei Zhong.
As for Zhang Ruochen and Gong Nanfeng, they could only stand aside and watch.
Although they did not leave any survivors along the way, many Paramount Realm Supreme Saints had sent out Communication talismans and spread the news before they died.
With so many top Supreme Saints disappearing without a sound, one could imagine it must have caused a huge uproar.
The Sevenstar Imperial Palace was fully shown. It was breathtaking and constantly emanated glorious light. It could be seen from thousands of kilometers away.
Another massacre had ended. The one blocking the way was a force of the Yanluo clan. Because there were no Paramount Realm Supreme Saints, Fei Zhong was the one who attacked.
All the corpses were thrown into the void.
Fei Zhong held the bloody battle ax and turned it into a lightning bolt. He flew onto the stairs of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. When he saw Zhang Ruochen and Gong Nanfeng, he hesitated momentarily and walked over.
“Master Ruochen.”
Fei Zhong’s tongue had been cut off. He could only communicate with Zhang Ruochen with spiritual power.
His spiritual power had indeed been completely absorbed by Bai Qing ‘Er. However, his cultivation realm had cultivated his spiritual power from nothing to the 45th level in just half a month.
Fei Zhong hated Zhang Ruochen deeply.
However, Fei Zhong could not avenge himself because Zhang Ruochen was highly valued by Bai Qing ‘er, and he was just a servant of Bai Qing ‘Er.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “What can I do for you, Master Fei?”
Fei Zhong hid all his hatred and smiled. “I have something that I don’t understand. I have always wanted to ask you for your advice.”
“Feel free to tell me,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Fei Zhong glanced at the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. He said, “Tell me, after killing those Supreme Saints, why didn’t Lady Bai take their weapons and treasures? I can’t figure it out. Some of them are close to the level of a Supreme Artifact.”
“Why don’t you ask her instead of me?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Fei Zhong shook his head. “I don’t dare to ask about Lady Bai. But Master Ruochen is smart enough to know what she’s thinking.”
Gong Nanfeng came over, “I don’t understand this either. Logically speaking, other cultivators didn’t dare to take the spoils because they feared the fallens’ elders would predict the aura on the spoils and that they would be hunted down and avenged. However, Bai Qing ‘er’s goal is to draw out all the forces for her to kill. She doesn’t have any worries or concerns.”
“Can’t you predict?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Gong Nanfeng looked embarrassed, “It’s hard to predict the human heart, especially for a woman like her. It’s impossible to predict what she’s thinking. But, Brother Ruochen, you can chat with her every time. You should understand the reason, right?”
“She doesn’t like it,” Zhang Ruochen said.
“She doesn’t like it?”
Fei Zhong said, “How can that be? The value of all the treasures added together tempts even the gods. Besides, people have been killed, so the treasures can be taken easily. If she can take them, why not?”
“There were many Supreme Artifacts in front of her, but she didn’t take them,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Fei Zhong was speechless.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen didn’t know Bai Qing ‘er, but he understood one thing.
The top-notch cultivators all had their own ways.
The ultimate genius also had ultimate restraint.
Like Que, he never used a weapon. Even if he used a sword, the sword was formed by his own precepts. Even if a Supreme Artifact was in front of him, he could take it or not.
Another example was Zhang Ruochen. If he chose to suck blood, his cultivation would rise faster, and his Demigod-level physique would become stronger.
However, he had been restraining himself. He didn’t dare to try sucking blood for the first time.
Just like Que, he didn’t dare to try using a Supreme Artifact. Once he tasted the sweetness, his path’s heart would collapse instantly. His future achievements would be minimal.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t understand Bai Qing ‘er, so he could only guess that she must have her own reason and restraint.
If she hadn’t restrained herself, she would have died long ago with her crazy mentality and way of doing things. She wouldn’t have lived until now.
Fei Zhong said, “Lady Bai doesn’t like it. Will she mind if I take it?”
“The next time you kill someone, take their treasure. Why don’t you give it a try?”
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen walked into the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.
Fei Zhong’s eyes lit up with joy. However, after looking at Zhang Ruochen’s back, he quickly shook his head. He felt that Zhang Ruochen had tricked him.
‘Lady Bai was temperamental. It was better to be careful and not do anything against her wishes.’
Bai Qing ‘er, who had transformed into Ji Fanxin, sat cross-legged in the center of the palace. Her long dress spread out like petals. Not only her appearance but her temperament was also very similar to that of Fairy of a Hundred Flowers. She was ethereal and pure.
Zhang Ruochen stopped when he was 30 meters away from her.
He felt Bai Qing ‘er’s cultivation had made significant progress in the past half a month.
It was not that he could see through Bai Qing ‘er, but it was a wonderful feeling, a sense of threat.
A greater sense of threat than before.
Zhang Ruochen was surprised that this woman was evolving the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill. Above her head, the Taiji Diagram became clearer and more apparent, with one yin and one yang revolving.
It should be known that Zhang Ruochen had only used the saintwill in front of her once. It was shocking that she could analyze it to such an extent through her own comprehension.
Bai Qing ‘er put the Taiji Diagram back into her body and opened her eyes. She said, “Your saintwill is very strong. It is more helpful than most Grade Two Saintwill in history.”
“I never wanted to help you,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Bai Qing ‘er said, “Do you want to walk the path of Grade One Saintwill?”
Zhang Ruochen did not say anything.
“Since ancient times, many amazing people have thought of condensing Grade One Saintwill. Unfortunately, no one has succeeded without exception. On the contrary, many died,” Bai Qing ‘er said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “I’m surprised that such an arrogant woman like you didn’t walk the path of condensing the Grade One Saintwill.”
“Because I know how to restrain myself and my unrealistic desires,” Bai Qing ‘er said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “You even dared to snatch the Tensho Compass. Do you think you know how to restrain your desires?”
“It’s not unrealistic to snatch the Tensho Compass. Besides, I took it to protect the Enchanteur Chamber. Otherwise, the Fane of Destiny would know the true identity of Fairy of a Hundred Flowers. Without the Tensho Compass, they would become a group of blind people, and I would take the most initiative,” Bai Qing ‘er said.
Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment. He said, “Why are you so obsessed with surpassing Wargod Bloodximius and Magnogod Huang Tian of the same era? Since you have the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin, wouldn’t it be better to find the Fane of Origin alone and take it yourself?”
“You must have caused a great commotion by making such a big fuss. By then, there will be countless cultivators who will follow you to the Fane of Origin. There may even be gods. Can you really get the treasures in the Fane of Origin? Perhaps, it will be a futile effort.”
Bai Qing ‘er stared at Zhang Ruochen for a long time and shook her head gently, “I thought we were the same kind of people, but I didn’t expect your state of mind to be so different. You are still a step behind, even compared to Que of the Fane of Destiny.”
“Have you seen Que?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Bai Qing ‘er said, “I’ve met him once on Hoth. He’s a peerless genius among men. He’ll likely surpass you in the future and become the leader of your generation. Because of your state of mind, you’ll lose and die on the way to the Grade One Saintwill.”
“Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Bai Qing ‘er said, “I know you are not convinced, so I’ll tell you where you are lacking. The Fane of Origin is indeed a place I want to go. Still, I care more about the experience of going to the Fane of Origin than taking the treasures in the Fane of Origin.”
“Treasures can be taken at any time, and they can be lost at any time. Only the unforgettable experience can not be taken away, and it will always belong to you.”
“Of course, it’s not that I don’t care about anything. At least the Canon of Origin that might exist in the Fane of Origin is something I must take.”
“Why must I win against Wargod Bloodximius and Magnogod Huang Tian? Actually, you’re wrong. I just want to win against Magnogod Huang Tian. Just like you want to win against Chi Yao, defeat her, stomp all her glory and dignity under your feet, and make her pay for what she has done.”
Zhang Ruochen gritted his teeth and said, “You’ve investigated me thoroughly.”
“You should be happy to be taken so seriously by me.”
Bai Qing ‘er stood up and walked out of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. She stood on the white jade stairs and looked at the universe. She raised her voice and said, “Scion Xing Luo has been following us all the way. He has sent all the powerhouses from the Fane of Destiny, right? Why hasn’t he shown himself yet?”
In the distance, the stars trembled, and the space shook violently.
The universe became brighter and brighter. A brilliant sea of stars appeared in front of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. The starry mist was faint, and the galaxy hung in the sky, creating miraculous changes in the starry sky.
Xing Luo stood in the center of the starry sea, wearing the Divine Ghost Mask and holding the Ominous Blade. He smiled and said, “I’m just waiting to see who can force you to reveal your true form. Unfortunately, all of them are dead, which makes me very disappointed.”
Bai Qing ‘er said, “It seems that you don’t believe in the strength of Ji Fanxin. How can you mortals be able to see through the mysteries of the Lotus of Divine Reflection?”
A look of suspicion appeared in Xing Luo’s eyes. He said, “Whether you believe it or not, you have already stirred up a reign of terror in the Infernal Court. Today, after I kill you, I will naturally be able to understand the truth.”
Bai Qing ‘er said, “With just you?”
“Of course not,” Xing Luo said.
Whoosh
A meteor streaked across the starry sky and landed to the right of Xing Luo, forming the figure of Lord Wu Yue. He held the Destiny Halberd in his hand, giving off a domineering and powerful aura.
The leader of the Ten Wraithions, Zionwraith, flew over from a galaxy and landed to the left of Lord Wu Yue with a spiral-shaped weapon in his hand. An ancient and vast continent appeared under his feet and floated in the sea of stars.
At the same time, Ten Gates of Destiny appeared in ten different directions of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. In each Gate of Destiny stood a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint.
“Is it enough to kill you now?” Xing Luo asked coldly.
Bai Qing ‘er replied, “Not enough.”
