Chapter 2347 The Home Planet of Yanluo Clan
Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t let all the Immortal Vampires attack together. It was too risky to deal with Que. Besides, Que cultivated the Path of Oblivion. An army wouldn’t be effective against him.
Only Lady Wind, Lord Bladehell, Lord Sinluo, and Yue Tinghai were traveling with Zhang Ruochen.
Lord Xia Yu stayed on the home planet and continued to set up the array.
Taking the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill represented Zhang Ruochen’s personal interests, not the interests of the entire Immortal Vampires.
Lord Bladehell and Yue Tinghai were willing to help Zhang Ruochen because they had no choice. After all, both of them had participated in the plan to attack the Bloodysky Continent.
If Zhang Ruochen wanted to take revenge on them, he would definitely send them to charge into the battle and do the most dangerous thing.
Since that was the case, they might as well agree to help Zhang Ruochen deal with Que and help him get the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill. Even if Que could breach the heavens, he would have to admit defeat with so many powerhouses working together.
Whoosh
The space shook slightly as a light flashed.
Zhang Ruochen and the others arrived in a distant starry sky via the dimensional teleportation array in Cloud City.
Six-colored star fog surrounded them. They were thousands of miles away from the Immortal Vampires’ Home planet.
“We’re not far from Que. Wait for me. I’ll set up a dimensional teleportation array first.”
Zhang Ruochen released his spiritual power and found a rock meteorite that was more than 600 miles long in the nearby starfield. He released 100,000 Spirits and placed several purple Dimensional Saint Jades and a Godstone on the ground.
The Godstones of the Bloodysky Clan had been used up by Zhang Ruochen in the Dark Star.
However, many Godstones from the cultivators of the other nine clans had fallen into Zhang Ruochen’s hands.
“With this teleportation array, we can attack and retreat. We have the initiative. I’ll set up a Cloaking Array to hide this rock meteorite.”
Lady Wind’s spiritual power was not insignificant. She also possessed the abilities of a High-Saint Array Master.
In the myriad worlds of the Celestial Court, there wasn’t even a single High-Saint Array Master in the weak worlds, besides the gods who expertise in arrays. But there were many new generation Supreme Saints in the Infernal Court.
The competition in the Infernal Court was strong
An hour later, the Dimensional Array and Cloaking Array were formed. Zhang Ruochen and the others restrained their aura and flew quickly in the direction of Que.
Not long after, a blue planet appeared in front of them.
The closer they got, the bigger the planet became.
“Que is hiding on that planet?” asked Lady Wind.
She added, “There seems to be a lot of life on that planet. It’s not a barren planet. No… almost all the living planets in the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting are home planets of other clans.”
Zhang Ruochen also realized that something was wrong. He stopped first and said, “A home planet? This is the center of the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. Which clan’s home planet is it?”
Lord Bladehell’s face had a strange expression and he said, “The Yanluo Clan’s.”
Everyone looked at each other with fear in their eyes. Then they looked at Zhang Ruochen.
How could Que be on the Yanluo Clan’s home
planet?
There were only two possibilities.
First, Zhang Ruochen’s senses were wrong.
Second, Que had been captured by the Yanluo cultivators and locked up on the home planet.
Lord Bladehell and Lady Wind had all seen Que’s extraordinary methods. They were obviously more willing to believe the former.
“My senses are correct,” Zhang Ruochen said with certainty.
Zhang Ruochen then added, “There are two possibilities. First, Que hid in the home planet of the Yanluo Clan. After all, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
“Also, hiding here can make the Yanluo Clan afraid to attack.
“Secondly, Que discovered the mark I planted on his body and purposely lured me to the Yanluo Clan’s home planet. He wants to use the Yanluo Clan’s hand to deal with me, and he also wants to use my hand to restrain the Yanluo Clan.
“No matter what, the first step is to enter the Yanluo Clan’s home planet first.”
Lady Wind said, “The Yanluo Clan’s home planet must be protected by layers of arrays. It’s the most difficult place to breakthrough in the entire Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. With our strength, even if we activate the Supreme Artifact, we can’t break-in.”
“Even if we force our way in, we’ll die. This is the Yanluo Clan’s headquarters,” Yue Tinghai said.
“Of course, we can’t force our way in,” said Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen picked up the Violet Gourd and said, “You guys enter the gourd first. I’ll think of a way to enter the home planet of the Yanluo Clan myself.”
After putting Lady Wind, Lord Bladehell, Yue Tinghai, and Lord Sinluo into the gourd, Zhang Ruochen thought carefully for a while. Then he used a Dimensional Warp and disappeared.
Not every cultivator in the Yanluo Clan had the surname “Yan”.
In fact, the surname “Yan” was the prominent surname in the Yanluo Clan. It represented the noblest bloodline and the most powerful inheritance.
The surname Wu was the 19th surname in the Yanluo Clan.
Wu Wuji had cultivated for more than 800 years and reached the Neverwilt Realm of the Supreme Saint. Among the Wus, he was considered the pride of his generation and the son of tomorrow.
Wu Wuji stepped on a rainbow and flew through the void space. This time, he had earned 50,000 points from hunting Celestial Captives. He had heard that the inner parts of his home planet contained great opportunities, so he rushed back immediately.
BANG!
Suddenly, Wu Wuji crashed into an invisible wall. His body was in immense pain, and his vision blurred. He nearly fainted from the impact.
“Oh no, there’s an ambush,” said Wu Wuji.
Wu Wuji was punched in the back of the head just as this thought crossed his mind. His vision abruptly went black, and he lost consciousness.
Zhang Ruochen walked out of the space and looked at Wu Wuji carefully. Then, he pressed his palm on Wu Wuji’s head and mobilized his spiritual power to invade.
Zhang Ruochen did not forcefully erase the divine power of the defensive consciousness in Wu Wuji. He only peeked at his memories after he entered the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting.
“From now on, I am Wu Wuji, a Supreme Saint at the pinnacle of the Neverwilt Realm,” said Zhang Ruochen
Zhang Ruochen changed into Wu Wuji’s robe and held Wu Wuji’s scissor-like Regal Artifact in his hand. He used the Divine Purification Flame to refine the vessel spirit.
Then, he transformed.
Zhang Ruochen reshaped himself into Wu Wuji’s appearance. He was tall and sturdy. His shoulders were wide and his eyes were like copper bells. The scissor in his hand looked like a scorpion’s pincer.
Zhang Ruochen threw Wu Wuji into the Violet Gourd and flew toward the home planet of the Yanluo Clan.
“Halt.”
Two Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saints walked through a light screen and stopped Zhang Ruochen when he was still a thousand miles away from his home planet. It was a man and a woman. They were both very young
Zhang Ruochen looked at them carefully. He was shocked. Although they weren’t at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, they had both broken 92 shackles.
The Yanluo Clan was indeed full of powerhouses.
Zhang Ruochen cupped his hands and said in a deep voice, “Wu Wuji greets both Supreme Saints.”
The male Supreme Saint of the Hundred-Shackle Realm was called Xue Kai. He said in a calm tone, “So it’s you. How come you came back to our planet so quickly? How many Celestial Captives did you kill?”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “I heard that there was a great opportunity on our planet. I wanted to try my luck, so I came back early.”
The female Supreme Saint of the Hundred-Shackle Realm was called Xue Ling. She snorted with ridicule.
Even Xue Ling and Xue Kai were hesitant to enter their home planet. A mere Supreme Saint of the Neverwilt Realm wished to go. He had no idea where he stood.
Xue Kai said, “This is a critical period. Any cultivator who wants to enter or leave the home planet has to pass the verification of the Mirror of Revelation.”
“What happened? Why is it so troublesome to return to the planet?” Zhang Ruochen looked at the ancient mirror in Xue Kai’s hand and asked.
Xue Ling said coldly, “It’s not in your place to
ask.”
Four days ago, Que had sneaked in behind a Yanluo cultivator who had returned to the planet.
Because of that, Xue Ling and Xue Kai were severely reprimanded by Yan Huangtu. Now that hundreds of millions of people on the planet were in danger, they couldn’t escape the blame. Naturally, they weren’t in a good mood.
Zhang Ruochen did not continue to ask. He calmly accepted the reflection of the Mirror of Revelation.
The Mirror of Revelation could not reflect his true body with the current strength of Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power and the Thirty-six Formless Transmogrification.
“You may pass,” said Xue Kai.
Xue Kai put away the Mirror of Revelation and opened a corner of the Grand Array of Defense of the home planet.
Zhang Ruochen flew to the gap of the array and paused slightly. He memorized the dimensional coordinates and flew through the clouds toward the ground.
More than 80 percent of the Yanluo Clan’s home planet was covered in water. Islands were scattered everywhere. Each island was full of life, with trees and seabirds.
The sky was blue and the clouds were white. The water was clear and the sand was white.
The environment here was different from other places in the Infernal Court. Zhang Ruochen felt as if he had returned to Kunlun.
Flying in the direction he sensed, Zhang Ruochen came to a halt outside a large city.
This city was the biggest city on the planet. There were 40 million Yanluo clansmen living in the city.
“Que sure knows how to pick a place and hide here. Even if the Yanluo Clan’s Supreme Saint finds him, he probably won’t dare to fight him. This way, he can focus on comprehending the Path and refining the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill.” said Zhang Ruochen.
Que cultivated the Path of Oblivion. Once he hid in a crowded place, Yan Huangtu wouldn’t be able to find him in a short time.
Zhang Ruochen did not use his spiritual power to deliberately investigate after entering the city, but he still sensed the powerful presence of the Path.
Among them, the presence emitted from a 17-story tower in the center of the city was the most powerful.
Zhang Ruochen carefully observed the geographical structure of the entire city and studied the inscription of the array in the city. He muttered to himself, “That should be the array hub of the entire city. There are several powerful Array Masters gathered there. It seems that Yan Huangtu also guessed that Que would hide in this city. They are all smart people and not easy to deal with.”
Que’s position became clearer.
Zhang Ruochen stood at the busy intersection. He looked up and could see through the buildings and layers of array enchantments. He saw an ancient Bloodbeast carriage passing by the river, it was driven by a 12-or 13-year-old boy.
The river was 40 meters wide and paved with bluestones on both sides.
The Bloodbeast looked like a cow or a giant wolf. It had blood-red fur all over its body. The carriage was made of redwood and hung with a string of wind chimes. It made a bell sound when it moved, which was very pleasant to hear.
When Zhang Ruochen crossed dozens of streets and saw the ancient Bloodbeast carriage, Que, who was sitting cross-legged in the carriage, suddenly opened his eyes and said to himself, “Have I been discovered?”
“Stop the carriage,” said Que.
The boy who was driving the carriage pulled the rope tightly and the Bloodbeast stopped immediately.
At that time, Zhang Ruochen’s figure had already silently stood on the other side of the river with his hands behind his back. He stood quietly and became one with the surrounding environment.
The boy who was sitting in the carriage looked back and asked, “Sir, why did you want to stop the carriage?”
“Because the person I was waiting for has arrived.” A low voice came from the car.
The boy looked around with a pair of bright eyes, looking for the person that Que was talking about.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Do you know who I am?”
“There is only one person in the world who can find me because he has left a Self-Defined Mark of Time on me,” said Que. His voice was vague and uncertain.
Zhang Ruochen said, “I can’t believe you discovered me. It seems that you are stronger than I thought.”
“If I can’t even do that, how can I be the strongest in this era? I have studied the Path of Time as well,” Que said.
Zhang Ruochen was not surprised. Just like he was the Master of Time and Space, he was still cultivating and studying the Path of Truth, Darkness, and Destiny.
Zhang Ruochen studied the Path of Darkness and Destiny because he was terrified of them, not because he wanted to master them.
The more Zhang Ruochen was afraid of power, the more he had to understand it and study it.
Only when Zhang Ruochen knew himself and his enemy could he be calm and unhurried.
This was probably the reason why Zhang Ruochen lacked studying the Path of Time. It meant that the Power of Time made him feel danger and he had to understand it.
“You can’t be the strongest in this era because of me,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Que said, “You’re impressive. You weren’t even qualified to fight me the last time I saw you. But this time, you’re much stronger. To be exact, you’re stronger than I expected. But you are still weak. You’ve only broken 30 shackles and are far from being my match.”
“I think it’s just the right time. We can’t wait until you’ve refined the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill, right?” Zhang Ruochen said.
Que said, “How can you be sure that I haven’t refined the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill?”
“Because you’re still comprehending the Path. That means you’re not ready to take the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill to condense the Saintwill,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Que said, “Then can you tell which Path I’m comprehending?”
Zhang Ruochen looked at both sides of the river and said, “Water! These days, you have been sitting in the carriage and driving along the river. There are traces of wheels on the stone slabs.
“Moreover, compared to the first time I saw you, you have less sharpness and more flexibility and patience.
“After the first time I met you, I discussed with the cultivators of the Bloodysky Clan. My evaluation was that you are competitive and narrow-minded. But after practicing the Path of Water, you slowly make up for your weakness in character.
“Water benefits all things without fighting for it. It flows downward and does not reverse the formation. This is the first Major Path of cultivation.
“I’m guessing you cultivate the path of Water not only to compensate for your spiritual weakness but also to compensate for the flaw in your Saintwill. If your Saintwill still has a flaw, it means that the Saintwill you cultivate must be extremely brilliant. You have likely reached Grade Two.”
In the carriage, there was a long silence.
The boy driving the carriage scratched his head in confusion and asked, “Sir, are there any marks on the ground? Why can’t I see them?”
“There are some marks that you can’t see, just like how you can’t see the precepts of heaven and earth. However, the precepts are there, and the marks are there too.” Que sighed softly.
