Chapter 1636: Thousand Star Maiden
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Zhang Ruochen stood beside Feng Yan on the shore of the Ocean of Truth.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t use Traceless 36 Changes to change his appearance.
Based on what Feng Yan said, all the changes would be rendered useless after entering the Ocean of Truth, so he might as well just cross the ocean with his true face.
The wind was blowing, making the weather cold.
Feng Yan said, smiling, “If I remember it correctly, Zhang Ruochen’s only refined in Truth Godly Palace for thirteen days.”
“That’s right,” said Zhang Ruochen.
Feng Yan said, “But I’ve refined in Truth Godly Palace for more than eight hundred days already, more than two years.”
Zhang Ruochen could tell that Feng Yan wanted to have a friendly competition with him, but he thought he had a huge advantage, which was too unfair.
After all, this was the Ocean of Truth. The more profound understanding a monk had of Way of Truth, the farther they could sail.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “How many Rules of Truth have you comprehended, Brother Feng?”
“Twenty-eight hundred and fifty.”
Feng Yan told him the real number without sugarcoating it.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t respond.
Zhang Ruochen was nothing compared to Feng Yan when it came to Way of Truth, as he’d only comprehended two hundred and forty-seven of them.
After all, Feng Yan had been refining in Truth Heavenly Domain since he was a kid, which gave him a huge advantage.
And besides, Feng Yan’s body constitution, mind power, and saint spells were all in Zhang Ruochen’s class.
However, Zhang Ruochen didn’t set a high target, as he was still very primitive when it came to Way of Truth, so he didn’t even think of competing with Feng Yan at all.
He would be very content if he could cross the third level of the ocean, and it’d be amazing if he could cross the fourth ocean domain.
He could try crossing the fifth and the sixth level of the ocean domain after refining in Truth Godly Palace for a longer time.
Suddenly, the crowd bustled.
Zhang Ruochen and Feng Yan both looked to the front, both dazed.
“Blue Fang. Blue Fang came to the Ocean of Truth.”
“Blue Fang is already a saint king, so he’s probably here to cross the fourth level of the ocean domain to get to the fifth level.”
…
It was Blue Fang, the first talent from Yin and Yang Field, and he was ranked in the top one hundred on ‘Saints Merits Rank’ before he became a saint king.
Which led to bustling everywhere he went.
Zhang Ruochen forced a smiled and said, “How unfortunate I am.”
Zhang Ruochen took out a metal mask and wore it.
It’d be better for him to hide his identity. After all, the hatred between him and Yin and Yang Field was too deep. He didn’t want to fight Blue Fang before crossing the ocean.
Blue Fang was standing on a barren rock after coming to the Ocean of Truth with his arms in front of his body.
After a while, there came a larger noise.
And the entire crowd on the shore of the Ocean of Truth was bustling more.
Who else came?
Zhang Ruochen took a look, and he saw a white strange bird dragging an ancient carriage with saint light coming toward him. There was starry light above the ancient carriage, and under the ancient carriage was a long bridge formed by mist.
It was a terrific great being with a huge beard riding the carriage. He was engulfed in golden light, and two traces of tremendous power were glowing in his eyes.
A terrific great being as such was driving the carriage.
Who, then, was sitting in the ancient carriage?
“That’s the carriage of Thousand Star Maiden. Can’t believe she came to cross the Ocean of Truth as well.” Feng Yan’s eyes gleamed.
The ancient carriage stopped, and a glowing hand lifted the car curtain.
An ethereal heavenly girl walked out of the car elegantly, and there was starry light spinning around her. She was dressed in purple, wearing a one-foot-tall red hat like a godly ruler. Her black hair waved like willow catkins.
Thousand Star Maiden was proficient in an ancient technique which made her face look dim. Even Zhang Ruochen wasn’t able to see her appearance clearly.
The woman looked ethereal and aloof, quiet and mysterious.
Some monks on the shore tried to talk to Thousand Star Maiden, but they were all intimidated by the giant guard with a huge beard who was in front of her.
The guard with a giant beard had tremendous cultivation, and his saint might itself was enough to scare off all the monks wanting to approach her.
Zhang Ruochen said, “That woman just became a saint king as well, and she seems very powerful.”
“Seems very powerful?”
Feng Yan was a bit speechless. He smiled and said, “You know who Thousand Star Maiden is, don’t you, brother Zhang Ruochen?”
“Yes, I heard of the same, but not sure when and where,” said Zhang Ruochen.
Feng Yan shook his head and said, “Thousand Star Maiden was the number one on ‘Saints Merits Rank’ before you entered the merits battle, and now because of you, she’s the second.”
“I see.”
Zhang Ruochen looked to Thousand Star Maiden again and said, “However, she doesn’t look like a girl who loves killing at all. How did she accumulate so many merits?”
Feng Yan said, “Anyone who managed to become a deity of an ancient civilization must’ve been through tough competition, stepping on mountains of bodies. It wasn’t as easy as you think.”
Zhang Ruochen thought and said, “Her real name isn’t on ‘Saints Merits Rank’, but only ‘Thousand Star Maiden.’ What’s her real name?”
“Thousand Star Civilization is a very mysterious and ancient civilization. Thousand Star Maiden has always been alone since she came here. She’s never let anyone approach, nor has she approached any other monk, so she has almost no friends here. Only a few monks know her real name,” said Feng Yan.
Zhang Ruochen knew a bit about the ancient civilizations.
Those ancient civilizations didn’t belong to any large field, and they couldn’t even be found in the universe. They were living in some secret regions.
The secret regions were of all sizes.
The largest secret region was larger than any secular field under Heaven World.
Yet the smallest secret region was only as large as a planet.
Besides, those ancient civilizations were all extremely powerful. They teamed up with Heaven World to fight Hell World.
The deities chosen by the ancient civilizations were their representatives in Heaven World.
Feng Yan got more excited and said, “The God-Naming Platform Conference is drawing near, which is why Thousand Star Maiden and Blue Fang are here. There will be more and more talents coming in the next couple of days. The Ocean of Truth will be bustling.”
The ten Boats of Truth pulled up to shore again.
Divine Fire Dingjie emerged on Blue Fang’s body, and he boarded a Boat of Truth on the far left.
And then, Thousand Star Maiden boarded the Boat of Truth on the right. She was slender, looking like a fairy with long dark hair. She walked on the ocean, causing small ripples.
“Let’s go.”
Feng Yan surged to the sky with windy fiery whirlpools under his feet, and then, he landed and showed up on a Boat of Truth beside Thousand Star Maiden.
Everyone on the shore exclaimed as he showed up.
Thousand Star Maiden, Feng Yan and Blue Fang were all renowned talents, yet they all showed up and were about to cross the Ocean of Truth together.
“Can’t believe the three are together now. Once in our lifetime, definitely once in our lifetime.”
“Let’s see who can survive longer.”
…
All the monks on the shore were excited, and they all sent signal flares out.
Ordinary monks wouldn’t join them to cross the Ocean of Truth to humiliate themselves.
Zhang Ruochen walked to the boats slowly, boarding the fourth Boat of Truth. No monks recognized him, as he was wearing a mask.
Only Blue Fang took a deep look at Zhang Ruochen, as he found his body shape very familiar.
And then, five powerful beings showed up and boarded Boats of Truth. All of them were saint kings with solid background.
Someone on the shore yelled, “Deity” when two of them boarded Boats of Truth.
As for the other three, they were definitely confident in their power as they dared board a Boat of Truth under this situation.
There was one more Boat of Truth left, so it seemed like no one had the guts to compete with them now.
“I, Xiang Chunan, will try to cross the Ocean of Truth with you guys.”
A man wearing a large red robe yelled and jumped onto the last Boat of Truth like a black bull.
Bang!
The Boat of Truth caused large waves.
Blue Fang and a deity got wet as they were standing on the two sides of Xiang Chunan. They both looked irritated by this dark fool who came out of nowhere.
Xiang Chunan didn’t seem to sense their anger. He grinned, showing his white teeth. “Sorry, so sorry, my feet couldn’t help shaking a bit. It’s all my fault.”
“What a dark fool.”
The deity with five-colored divine light sneered.
Xiang Chunan was amazed. He said, “How did you know my nickname, brother? I just came to Truth Heavenly Domain. How did I get so famous so soon?”
The deity with five-colored divine light didn’t want to talk to Xiang Chunan at all. He said apathetically, “Stay away from me when we’re crossing the Ocean of Truth.”
Xiang Chunan distanced himself from that deity as he saw him being kind of irritated, and he got closer to Blue Fang.
He looked at Blue Fang, smiled and asked, “Why are your teeth so long. Why is your head all green?”
Blue Fang was also a bit irritated and said, “Can’t you distinguish between red and green?”
“Red? It looks very green to me…”
Xiang Chunan stopped laughing and thought for a bit.
After a while, he apologized to Blue Fang. “Sorry, my sight is different from others as I’m somewhat colorblind. I always mistake green for red and vice versa.”
“Piss off.”
Blue Fang was furious. If this wasn’t his first time crossing the Ocean of Truth, and he would definitely beat this Dark Fool who played dumb as he dared provoke him in public.
