Chapter 1576: Plan

Zhang Ruochen gained an extra month to refine after going to Wanglai Saint Pavilion, and he was given three tokens from Truth Godly Palace, representing three opportunities to enter the Godly Palace.

Unfortunately, a monk could only get one chance each year, otherwise Zhang Ruochen would’ve given them all to Mu Lingxi and Ling Feiyu.

After walking out of the Truth Godly Palace, Zhang Ruochen gave all three tokens to Su Jing.

Su Jing knew how valuable the opportunities to refine in the Truth Godly Palace were. Each opportunity meant an improvement in Guanghan Field’s overall power.

Su Jing carefully put away the three tokens. He said, “I’ll head back to Shatuo Heavenly Domain and select three more saints here.”

“Uncle Jing,” Zhang Ruochen said to Su Jing. “We’re having a hard time in Truth Heavenly Domain at the moment. I reckon we should deploy three saint kings from Guanghan Field here first.”

Su Jing was a bit hesitant.

After all, only comprehending the Rule of Truth as a saint would greatly help a monk. Those three opportunities wouldn’t help saint kings much.

Su Jing knew that Zhang Ruochen wanted great beings here to take back the dojos that once belonged to Guanghan Field, and he might wage a war against Shang Ziyan in the future.

However, Su Jing was also ten times Zhang Ruochen’s age, so he was more long-term-oriented. He said, “If we deploy three saint kings here, our enemies might deploy thirty, or even three hundred saint kings. Those powerful fields have a great number of saint kings, so losing one saint king is nothing to them, but it’ll be a huge loss to Guanghan Field.”

Zhang Ruochen could tell that Su Jing was very mature yet conservative.

He was suitable for managing a large field, yet he couldn’t help a large field rise.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Okay, then ask that owl saint beast from Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land to come here. You can choose the other two, Uncle Jing.”

Zhang Ruochen was the one who gained those opportunities, so Su Jing didn’t have any objection to it.

Su Jing asked him to be careful not to leave Jingxing Cliff Dojo, and then, he went back to Shatuo Heavenly Domain with the three tokens.

“Zhang Ruochen, I’ll go take some tasks from Truth Godly Palace to gain more time to refine here, so I won’t be going back to the dojo with you guys.” Ling Feiyu walked out, standing there like a lotus growing on a snow-capped mountain.

Ling Feiyu knew how important it was to refine in the Truth Godly Palace, so she would try everything to get more time to refine.

Since she failed to get past the first level of the ocean domain, she had to take up the tasks from the Truth Godly Palace.

Zhang Ruochen knew how independent Ling Feiyu was, and that she had her plans and didn’t need others to tell her what to do.

Besides, Ling Feiyu was strong enough to take up the tasks herself.

“Okay,” said Zhang Ruochen.

“If you want to get back the dojos that belong to the Moon Goddess or fight the great beings from Cloud Field, just send me a message. I’ll definitely come back and help you.”

Ling Feiyu also knew Zhang Ruochen well enough to figure out his next step.

After Ling Feiyu left, Zhang Ruochen went back to Jingxiang Cliff Dojo with Mu Lingxi, Wen Shusheng, Ling Mi, and Su Qingling.

Kongling Island.

Feng Yan came to the saint palace at the center of the island and the door was opened automatically.

Feng Xi and the man in the Taoist cape seemed to have never left, still playing chess.

“Sister, Zhang Ruochen got past the first level of the ocean domain and has reached the second level of the ocean domain already. He even fought the guard for a short while,” Feng Yan said.

“I know!” Feng Xi said, looking at the chessboard.

“Why are these two guys so calm? Even if you’re powerful, you should at least be a bit thrilled.” Feng Yan felt a bit irritated.

Feng Xi kept playing chess with the man in the Taoist cape without saying a word, which bored Feng Yan, so he left the saint palace, shaking his head.

After a while, Feng Xi said, “Zhang Ruochen’s performance was amazing when he was passing through Ocean of Truth. I reckon Shang Ziyan will definitely make a move. Why are you still playing chess with me here?”

“Shang Ziyan is always very cost-efficient. I’ve already kind of figured out what he’s going to do. No need to rush,” said the man in the Taoist cape.

After getting back to Jingxiang Cliff Dojo, Mu Lingxi, Wen Shusheng, and the others started to comprehend the picture of the Way of Truth left by Tree God.

Failing to get past Ocean of Truth was a huge wake-up call for them.

Zhang Ruochen managed to get to the exit of the second level of the ocean domain, yet they couldn’t even get past the first twenty miles of the first level, which motivated all of them to refine to catch up with Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen came to the border of the dojo, and he saw that all the saint kings from Cloud Field had all left.

“Perhaps they’ve received news that I passed the first level of the ocean domain.” Zhang Ruochen smiled.

Those saint kings knew that they couldn’t trap Zhang Ruochen and the others from Guanghan Field, so they wouldn’t stay here. They probably cursed Zhang Ruochen and his entire family before leaving.

Zhang Ruochen wanted to send a message to Moon Goddess to ask about ‘Mysteries of Truth,’ but Jingxiang Cliff Dojo wasn’t a safe place. If a monk who had better mind power than him was around, he would be able to seize the signal flare and learn about his secret.

His enemy was the leader of the new generation from Merits Godly Palace, Shang Ziyan. He was totally capable of sending a mind power saint king to guard Jingxiang Cliff Dojo.

Signal flares could only be stopped when they were just sent out, and it was almost impossible to stop them when they were halfway to the destination.

Zhang Ruochen used space transportation formation, for safety purposes. He came to a cordillera that was around a hundred thousand miles away from Jingxiang Cliff Dojo and wrote his message, sending it out.

And then, he just needed to wait for the Moon Goddess’s reply.

Zhang Ruochen observed the surroundings, and all he saw were forests where golden maple trees were growing.

It was so remote that almost no monks had ever set up here.

“I can set up a transportation formation here. Perhaps it’ll be of use in the future.”

Each transportation formation was a way to escape.

It only took Zhang Ruochen an hour to set up a space transportation formation.

He then buried the formation seven feet underground.

“If Blackie were here, it could hide the transportation formation much better using invisibility formation.”

Zhang Ruochen rarely spent time studying formation, so he didn’t want to set up some weak invisibility formation that might expose the transportation formation.

Whoosh!

A light spot flew into the golden maple forest and fell into Zhang Ruochen’s hand.

“It’s Moon Goddess’s reply.”

Zhang Ruochen grabbed the signal flare and couldn’t wait to read the message.

“Firstly, this is an incredible opportunity for you. Keep trying to cross Ocean of Truth. Every time you cross a level of the ocean domain, you’ll get more Mysteries of Truth. When you get one hundredth of the Mysteries of Truth and become a Messenger of Truth, I’ll tell you what it is.

“Secondly, you can’t tell anyone about this secret. There’re also other monks who’ve gained Mysteries of Truth. If the other monks with Mysteries of Truth know, they’ll try to kill you and get your Mysteries of Truth.

“Last but not least, there’s only a fixed amount of Mysteries of Truth in the universe. You obtained one ten thousandth of them already, so you must try to get the remaining ones.”

Zhang Ruochen was more curious after reading the material.

And then, he used his mind power to check the Mysteries of Truth inside his body.

Those Mysteries of Truth looked like light spots spreading across his body, which cleared his mind completely.

It wasn’t just easier for him to comprehend saintly way rules, but to do everything.

It only took him an hour to set up the transportation formation, which was so efficient that even Zhang Ruochen himself found it amazing because it used to take him three hours to set up a transportation formation.

“The most important thing is to collect more Mysteries of Truth. Moon Goddess would never trick me, so Mysteries of Truth have got to be something incredible.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t know who else had also gained Mysteries of Truth, so he couldn’t go seize them yet. He had to try crossing Ocean of Truth to gain more Mysteries of Truth.

The guard at the second level of the ocean domain was immensely powerful, and Zhang Ruochen wasn’t strong enough to defeat him yet.

“I have three weak spots that I need to deal with now.

“Rules of Truth. The more rules I comprehend, the better I can control the Boat of Truth to show more power.

“Mind power, which can help me control the Boat of Truth.

“Mid-tier saint spell. I must complete a mid-tier saint spell, otherwise, I’ll still be at a huge disadvantage when fighting the guard.”

Zhang Ruochen had forty-seven days to refine, however, there were so many monks from all the fields that he needed to wait in line to refine in Truth Godly Palace.

“I must refine the eleventh palm of Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm first. If I reach ultimate completion, I’ll be able to rival the guard of the second level of the ocean domain.”

Zhang Ruochen decided to go buy saint-king-level dragon souls and elephant souls in the saint market, including saint pills that could improve his mind power.

Heavenly Capital Saint Market was the only market in Truth Heavenly Domain. There were monks from all the ten thousand fields, and the disciples from Truth Godly Palace, all buying stuff there.

Because of the unique status of Truth Godly Palace, Heavenly Capital Saint Market was prosperous, with great fame in the entire Heaven World. There were rarely things monks couldn’t purchase in Heavenly Capital Saint Market.

Zhang Ruochen left the cordillera and went to the ferry crossing, heading to Heavenly Capital Saint Market.

Zhang Ruochen used Traceless 36 Changes to change his appearance and Buddhist beads to cover his forces so that no one could recognize him.
