Chapter 1704: Divine Spring
Shang Ziyan, Gong Ziyan and the other strong figures pushed forward. When they were around 700 or 800 meters away from the divine spring, they finally ran into big trouble and couldn’t continue.
Blue-purple mist shrouded the delta, blocking the sight of everyone there. They couldn’t see what was happening.
Gong Ziyan set up a small one-meter-wide formation on the ground and took out four yellow flags. He put them in four places in the formation. Then he carved light runes around the formation.
Zhang Ruochen used the Divine Eyes to watch Gong Ziyan’s every move. “Gong Ziyan is very fast at carving the spatial runes. He must’ve worked hard when studying.”
Mo Xiaogu was scornful. “I can carve faster than him with just one hand. Gong Ziyan grew up in the Space Divine Pavilion and had a better learning environment for everything, but he’s only at this level. What a failure.”
Whoosh!
Three dots of dazzling light appeared in the small formation before Gong Ziyan. They hovered in the air like purple stars.
“Three drops of divine spring.”
“What tactic was that? Gong Ziyan could actually use a formation to extract divine spring from 800 meters away.”
“It really is divine spring. I heard a drop of divine spring can improve a saint pill’s quality greatly.”
…
Gong Ziyan didn’t extract much of the divine spring, but he still caused a ruckus.
The cultivators who’d been watching couldn’t stay sitting anymore. They all went for the delta.
The Ancient Civilization Sect, Demon God Field Sect, Pangu Field Sect…
All the major sects sent their top figures. They followed the paths they’d calculated and approached the spring step by step.
After careful research and analysis, Mo Xiaogu and Zhang Ruochen chose a path too.
After truly entering the delta, Zhang Ruochen finally understood what it meant to be treading on thin ice. This land left behind from ancient times was filled with all types of godly patterns. They floated in the air too. He had to be careful at all times. Any mistake could activate a godly pattern and kill him on the spot.
Mo Xiaogu was well-prepared. She held a bronze bottle that contained divine blood from a Hell Demon God.
As she continued to drip blood onto the ground, a blood-red path opened up.
Gradually, Mo Xiaogu and Zhang Ruochen reached the depths of the delta too. They grew closer and closer to the divine spring. They could even hear the water with their ears.
Around one kilometer from the divine spring, the space before them became extremely broken. Black light filled it. Chilling Yin Qi was released from the light. Clearly, they couldn’t touch it.
“No wonder even Shang Ziyan and Zhou Yu couldn’t continue forward. This place is filled with all sorts of terrifying powers. Even the space is incomplete.”
Around 900 meters from the divine spring, Mo Xiaogu stopped. She touched her chin with a thoughtful expression.
It was already incredible that she and Zhang Ruochen could reach this step. Cultivators from the other sects were behind them, around 1500 meters from the divine spring.
The closer they were, the easier it was to extract the divine spring.
Gong Ziyan’s crystal bottle already had a dozen drops now. When he raised his eyes and his gaze fell on Mo Xiaogu, he had a very surprised expression.
Shang Ziyan also looked toward Mo Xiaogu and Zhang Ruochen. “What, you know them?” he asked.
Gong Ziyan shook his head. He looked away and continued to control his formation. But his eyes kept darting back to Mo Xiaogu.
He’d learned of this cousin not too long ago. She was apparently the daughter of an uncle from his clan and was temporarily cultivating at the Space Divine Pavilion. Her arrival had stirred up a storm in the clan. Even the clan’s god met her personally.
Gong Ziyan had sent people to investigate Mo Xiaogu and discovered with a shock that she was extremely advanced in the Spatial Way. She might even be at his level.
It was quite unexpected for him that Mo Xiaogu would appear in the Truth Heavenly Domain.
Looking at the spatial formation under Gong Ziyan’s foot, her disdain grew. “Gong Ziyan can extract divine spring from 800 meters away with the spatial transfer technique. Lin Yue, your spatial grab is pretty good. How about you try?”
“We’re still too far. We must get closer.”
After that, Zhang Ruochen grabbed Mo Xiaogu’s bronze bottle and continued creating a path.
Mo Xiaogu was shocked. “You still dare to go forward?”
“The space before us is broken. It’s fatal for other cultivators, but we can still try,” Zhang Ruochen said. “What, Princess Luosha doesn’t dare?”
Mo Xiaogu indeed felt that it would be extremely dangerous to continue forward. There was no path before them. If they went forward, it was no different from suicide.
In the distance, the cultivators of the Heaven Field Sect thought the same.
They thought that they’d reached the limit and couldn’t get closer to the divine spring. Thus, they stared at Zhang Ruochen who was going forward. They were confused, but they smiled, thinking that Zhang Ruochen would get killed soon.
But the scene that followed utterly shocked all the cultivators.
They watched Zhang Ruochen enter the broken space. He jumped on the spatial fragments that were like hovering islands. Around him, there were streaking lightning, rivers of ancient Yin Qi, and pitch-black voids.
But he just continued forward and landed on a spatial fragment around 700 meters away from the divine spring.
Both cultivators inside and out of the delta were shocked at this.
“This guy can move freely in the broken space. That’s amazing!”
“Even Gong Ziyan doesn’t dare to do this.”
…
…
Zhang Ruochen wanted to continue, but the Heart Connection Bone Melt Lock between him and Mo Xiaogu was pulled taut. He tugged at the chain and urged, “What’s wrong? Do you not dare to come or are you unable to? Do you need help?”
This entire way, Mo Xiaogu had looked down upon Zhang Ruochen. She was arrogant like a white swan. Unexpectedly, she was the one being looked down upon now.
“No. I can come over.”
Grinding her teeth, Mo Xiaogu was very annoyed, but she had to comfort herself. My life is valuable, so I have to be careful. He has a lowly life, so he’s not afraid of dying.
Bracing herself, she finally reached the spatial fragment and reunited with Zhang Ruochen.
“Let’s continue forward,” he said.
Shocked, Mo Xiaogu said, “You still want to continue?”
Zhang Ruochen pointed at a fragment around 400 meters away from the divine spring. “That’s a nice landing spot. It’s close to the divine spring and we can extract much faster. Otherwise, if we do it like Gong Ziyan, we won’t be able to collect much even if we spend an entire day and night.”
Mo Xiaogu looked at the fragment, feeling unwilling. She hurriedly shook her head. “That fragment is too small and unstable. It might break as soon as we land. Let’s not risk it. Why do you want to collect so much from the divine spring? Do you really want to get 10,000 drops to marry Fairy Tianchu?”
“Trust me. Follow me.”
He wrapped the Heart Connection Bone Melt Lock three times around Mo Xiaogu, wrapping her up. Then he brought her toward the spatial fragment in the distance.
Mo Xiaogu didn’t think that she was timid, but she really was frightened by Zhang Ruochen this time. When they landed on the spatial fragment, her heart was still pounding.
Her legs trembled when her feet landed. She glared at Zhang Ruochen with her phoenix eyes. “Are you Zhang Ruochen or not?”
Zhang Ruochen felt much better at seeing Mo Xiaogu’s pale face. Chuckling, he said, “Princess, why would you ask that?”
“Every step that you just took requires extreme control of space and time,” Mo Xiaogu said. “Who other than Zhang Ruochen can do this in the younger generation?”
Actually, Zhang Ruochen didn’t only have an extreme control of space and time. He’d also used the powers of time to reach this fragment easily.
He didn’t reply. Instead, he squatted down and started setting up a formation on the fragment.
“You’re not replying. Are you admitting it?”
Mo Xiaogu was around 70% sure now.
She must admit that this result frustrated her. Lin Yue really was that bastard Zhang Ruochen. He was someone that she hated but also thought of a lot.
Before coming to Heaven Field, she’d already imagined everything that could happen when she met Zhang Ruochen. She even thought of how to take revenge.
They’d met now, but it had happened sooner than she’d thought. However, not only could she take revenge, she even helped him have sex with a fairy.
This pissed her off. She even forgot to collect the divine spring and just stared at Zhang Ruochen with red eyes. “Why are you setting up a space transfer formation?”
Without looking up, Zhang Ruochen said, “To escape as soon as we collect the divine spring, obviously. Or did you want to take the same path back?”
“This place is special,” Mo Xiaogu said. “The space transfer formation won’t work at all and it’s really dangerous.”
“I know, but I have my ways. Just follow me later! After setting up, we’ll start collecting divine spring. And let’s get things straight. We’ll collect our own. Don’t even think about sharing.”
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen and Mo Xiaogu were only 400 meters from the divine spring, the other cultivators were extremely shocked. They all tried to guess who they were.
Even some of the top ten godly disciples were staring at Zhang Ruochen and Mo Xiaogu.
