Chapter 2427: Lord Xia Yu’s Question

Swoosh!

With a wave of his long sleeve, a small brass cauldron flew out and hovered in front of Zhang Ruochen.

Hexadirection Cauldron.

“This cauldron belonged to the master of Lancern Ocean, Yu Sanjie also known as Lord Labrys. While Yu Sanjie was cultivating in seclusion, it was stolen by Immortal Blue Marrow.

“Immortal Blue Marrow wanted to borrow Hexadirection Cauldron to cross the bottleneck of a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint. Immortal Blue Marrow was afraid that after Yu Sanjie finished his seclusion, he would investigate this matter. Thus, Immortal Blue Marrow hid inside the third dark star.

“Unfortunately, Immortal Blue Marrow didn’t expect that the third dark star would give birth to Dark Elemental. He also underestimated the danger of a dark star and died inside.”

Zhang Ruochen understood.

He had always suspected how could Immortal Blue Marrow a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint have such a treasure as Hexadirection Cauldron?

“A Supreme Saint dares to steal a treasure from a god. Immortal Blue Marrow is really audacious,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Wargod Bloodximius said, “Immortal Blue Marrow doesn’t have much time left, and he definitely can’t break through to Paramount Realm on his own. He naturally dares to take risks in order to advance and survive.”

Zhang Ruochen wanted to know more about the god, so he asked tentatively, “I heard that gods are omnipotent and omniscient. How could Lord Labrys not notice when Immortal Blue Marrow stole Hexadirection Cauldron? Besides, did Lord Labrys not leave a divine spirit clone to guard the cauldron? Or did he carry the cauldron with him?”

Wargod Bloodximius had achieved his status and strength, thus he dared to call Lord Labrys by his name. However, Zhang Ruochen did not dare to be so arrogant.

Wargod Bloodximius said, “The gods are not as omnipotent as you think, and Supmere Saints aren’t as weak as you think. The gods know a lot of things because they have countless divine spirits.

“If it’s just one divine spirit, even a Neverwilt Realm Supreme Saint can destroy it. Just like a Saint King could easily destroy one of your divine spirits.

“Secondly, a god’s prediction ability is limited. The higher the cultivation base of the predictor, the harder it is to predict.

“Even for the gods, is not an easy task to predict a Supreme Saint’s action. Unless there is a special relationship between the two, such as a bloodline relationship, master-disciple relationship, and so on. Only then, it will be much easier to predict.

“Therefore, unless Yu Sanjie forms a powerful clone using a large number of divine spirits, only then will it be possible to suppress Immortal Blue Marrow.

“In addition, Hexadirection Cauldron doesn’t belong to Celestial Court nor Infernal Court, but a vessel from the desolate starry sky. Its vessel spirit is powerful, but it has been sleeping. Yu Sanjie hasn’t subdued it, so there are huge variables. How could Yu Sanijie dare to take it with him when he is in closed-door cultivation?”

Zhang Ruochen had many secrets. After coming to Infernal Court, he had been careful as if he was treading on thin ice. The most fundamental reason was that he did not know enough about the power of the gods. He did not know whether his secrets would be discovered by the gods.

After listening to the words of Wargod Bloodximius, Zhang Ruochen realized that with his current cultivation base, he did not need to be too afraid of the gods.

Unless the gods themselves made a move.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Has Wargod met Lord Labrys?”

Wargod Bloodximius snorted. “How could Yu Sanjie not know that Hexadiretion Cauldron has come into being? However, no one in the world can take it away from me. Hexadiretion Cauldron was obtained by you from the inside of the third dark star. Naturally, I won’t return it to him.”

Zhang Ruochen only thought about it secretly. In his mind, he could picture the battle between Wargod Bloodximius and Lord Labrys.

Unfortunately, Hexadirection Cauldron was in the hands of Wargod Bloodximius now. Lord Labrys was doomed to not be able to take the treasure back.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen thought of something and said, “You said that the vessel spirit of Hexadirection Cauldron is powerful and has been sleeping?”

To be called powerful by Wargod Bloodximius was definitely not simple.

Wargod Bloodximius nodded and said, “There are huge variables and potential dangers in this cauldron. You can’t suppress it, so I can’t give it to you yet. I plan to give it to your mother temporarily and let her keep it. Do you have any objections?”

“No objections,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Wargod Bloodximius said, “Emperor Grade Saint Pill in the cauldron is the material that Immortal Blue Marrow has collected for countless years. He was going to refine it to break through to Paramount Realm. Unfortunately, his attainments in Elixir were a little lacking and he almost didn’t succeed. In the end, it succeeded because Dark Elemental refined him into the pill and turned him into an Elixir Spirit.

“When your cultivation reaches the peak of Banshi Isshou Realm, you can ask your mother for it. Swallowing this pill will be of great help to you in breaking through to Paramount Realm.”

Them, Hexadirection Cauldron was kept by Wargod Bloodximius. Now it’s about Madre Bloody Shadow and Pale Blood Soil.

It was said that Madre Bloody Shadow’s true form divine tree was taken away by Ancient God of Knowledge from Fukurokuju.

Wargod Bloodximius said, “Pale Blood Soil is very mysterious. It is known as the number one treasure of Immortal Vampires. Many gods have never seen it before. It is still a secret that you can refine and absorb Pale Blood Soil. However, this secret won’t last long.”

“What will happen if this secret is made public?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Wargod Bloodximius’s eyes were sharp, “You will become a human form, Divine Herb. Everyone will want to suck your blood and eat your flesh and bones. Of course, you don’t have to worry too much. With your current background, not many people dare to touch you.”

In the end, Wargod Bloodximius reminded Zhang Ruochen, “Refining and absorbing Pale Blood Soil has indeed made your body stronger. Your self-healing ability is top-notch now. You can recover even if your body is torn to pieces. You are almost immortal. However, there is no absolute immortal body in the world. People who think they are immortal usually die the fastest.

“There are endless mysteries in Pale Blood Soil. You can slowly experience it yourself in the future.”

Zhang Ruochen thought in his heart. Why did Wargod Bloodximius say such a thing? Could it be that he had also refined and absorbed Pale Blood Soil?

Zhang Ruochen did not ask this question in the end.

Wargod Bloodximius mentioned Yan Zhexian and Intergold Tiger again and told Zhang Ruochen some things. After listening, Zhang Ruochen didn’t say anything. He just nodded slightly.

“One last thing… Forget it. You can leave now!”

Wargod Bloodximius wanted to say something but stopped. He finally waved his hand and signaled Zhang Ruochen to leave.

Zhang Ruochen had a strange look on his face. He was curious. What was the last thing that Wargod Bloodximius was going to say?

One had to know that Wargod Bloodximius had always been decisive and strong. He rarely showed such a look.

“I’ll take my leave.”

After Zhang Ruochen left, Wargod Bloodximius shook his head and sighed. He said to himself, “Let Qingsheng talk to him about secular matters. It’s not appropriate for me to talk about it personally.”

Then, Wargod Bloodximius opened his left palm. There was a jade token in his palm.

There were words carved on the surface of the jade token — Jadeite.

” It’s a little subtle that Jadeite Realm is activated at this time.” He played with the jade token while his eyes became deeper and deeper.

…

The news of Pan Ruo becoming a new Scioness had been officially confirmed and the news quickly spread.

The details of the battle between Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen had spread like wildfire.

Some people claimed that both Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen had supreme treasures. They could defeat a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint with the cultivation of Hundred-Shackle Realm.

There were also rumors that Zhang Ruochen could defeat Yan Wushen because he had inherited the treasures of Kunlun’s field and had a lot of Canons.

There were all kinds of rumors, and each one was exaggerated.

They were meant to incite the audacious murderers to attack Zhang Ruochen. Let others do the dirty job of killing Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t care about the rumors in the outside world. He didn’t want to explain himself either. He went straight back to Vastsea Manor and prepared to seclude himself to heal his injuries.

…

Lord Xia Yu wore a cyan feather robe. The violet gold phoenix hairpin was stuck in her hair. Her temperament was elegant and didn’t contain the evil feeling that a cultivator from Infernal Court should have.

The cultivators of Bloodysky Clan who participated in Celestial-Hunting Festival stayed in Bingsi District because they had to enter Fane of Destiny to cultivate.

They all had respectful expressions on their faces when they saw her walking down the street.

Although Lord Xia Yu had suffered a crushing defeat in the battle with Yan Huangtu and had almost fallen, she displayed the elegant demeanor of Bloodysky Clan and Immortal Vampires. Thus, gaining her the respect of countless cultivators.

Lord Xia Yu had gone through a life-and-death situation once, so her state of mind had undergone a huge change. Her temperament was completely different from before. She had a feeling that she was hidden in the clouds. She was different from her past self who showed everything on her face and didn’t know how to restrain herself.

Lord Xia Yu had heard a lot of news along the way.

There was news of Immortal Vampires taking first place in Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting, news of Fukurokuju’s bestowed marriage, news of Lady Wind’s death, and news of Zhang Ruochen and Yan Wushen’s life-and-death battle.

“I didn’t expect so many things to happen while I was asleep.”

Before she knew it, Lord Xia Yu had arrived outside Vastsea Manor. She paused and hesitated whether she should go in.

A moment later, she stepped forward and said, “Xia Yu of the Xias has come to pay a visit to Supreme Saint Ruochen.”

Whether it was because of the array inscriptions all over Vastsea Manor, or because of Zhang Ruochen’s position in her heart, she could no longer barge in like before.

Lian Xi opened the array restriction and looked at Xia Yu standing outside. She said gently, “Supreme Saint Ruochen has been summoned by Wargod. He hasn’t returned yet.”

“Okay, I’ll go in and wait for him,” Lord Xia Yu said.

Lian Xi clearly has knowledge of Lord Xia Yu’s ability and knew that she held a high position in Zhang Ruochen’s heart, so she did not stop her.

Lord Xia Yu did not have a good impression of the cultivators of Celestial Court. She walked in front and said, “As a fairy of Celestial Court and a goddess in the hearts of countless cultivators, are you willing to be Zhang Ruochen’s handmaiden?”

Lian Xi was silent.

“That’s right. You have no other choice.”

Lord Xia Yu walked to a pavilion in the lake. She put her hands behind her back and looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her. She asked, “Can you tell me what happened in Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting? Why did I come back to life after I died?”

Lian Xi could watch the projection of the Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms. Therefore, she knew what had happened.

“Zhang Ruochen saved you,” Lian Xi said softly.

Lord Xia Yu said, “I know. He must have saved me. What I want to know is the process, the details, and the answer that has puzzled me for a long time.”

Lian Xi didn’t want to pay attention to Lord Xia Yu, but thinking that she couldn’t afford to offend her, “Zhang Ruochen is really good to you. He used his blood to rebuild your body.”

Blood Qi was very important to Immortal Vampires.

No matter how close Immortal Vampires were, it was difficult for them to cut open their own blood vessels without hesitation and give their blood to another person.

Hearing that Zhang Ruochen had captured The Eight Sons of Life and Death of Yanluo clan and used the blood of the eight elites to make up for her lost blood Qi, Lord Xia Yu’s eyes lit up and her heart beat faster.

Lord Xia Yu was both angry and touched when she heard that Zhang Ruochen had been controlled by Yan Huangtu and Yan Zhexian everywhere in order to take back her Saint Soul and spiritual power.

When she heard that Zhang Ruochen had not given up on her when he had to make a choice between the future of Immortal Vampires and her life, she realized that Zhang Ruochen really cared about her.

In the past, Zhang Ruochen had helped her everywhere, even giving her a Supreme Artifact. Lord Xia Yu had always thought that Zhang Ruochen had other intentions. He coveted her beauty and wanted to take her into the harem of Sevenstar Imperial Palace to become like Lian Xi, the woman he had toyed with.

However, after experiencing Battlefield of Clestial-Hunting, Lord Xia Yu had a deeper understanding of Zhang Ruochen. She gradually changed her biased thinking.

With Zhang Ruochen’s status and talent, he could have all kinds of beauty if he wants.

If he only wanted her beauty, how could he save her at all costs?

“Zhang Ruochen is a true and righteous person. He is different from those insidious cultivators in Infernal Court and different from those hypocritical cultivators in Celestial Court.”

Lord Xia Yu closed her eyes, but Zhang Ruochen’s figure unconsciously appeared in her mind. She could not get rid of him.

This man had been imprinted in her heart. She would never forget him.

Standing aside, Lian Xi understood what Lord Xia Yu was thinking.

How could a woman be indifferent after being so valued and protected by the most powerful genius of this Yuanhui period?

Even she was a little envious.

Unfortunately, Lian Xi also felt sad for Lord Xia Yu. After all, Zhang Ruochen was too outstanding. Only noble daughters like Luo Sha and Yan Zhexian were worthy of him.

Lord Xia Yu could only be a concubine.

If Luo Sha was pushy, Lord Xia Yu could only be an external concubine and could not enter Xue Jue family.

When Zhang Ruochen returned to Vastsea Manor, he happened to see the two girls standing by the lakeside. A surprised look appeared in his eyes. He walked over and said, “You’ve recovered so quickly?”

Lord Xia Yu had already composed her emotions, she said calmly, “I was too heavily injured this time. Fortunately, Blood Empress helped me to integrate my spiritual power and Saint Soul into my body. However, it will take at least 20 years for me to fully recover.”

“Go in Sundial and cultivate. Recover as soon as possible. It’s a rare opportunity to cultivate in Fane of Destiny. Don’t miss it!” Zhang Ruochen said.

Lord Xia Yu hesitated for a moment and said, “You don’t have to be so nice to me. I’m afraid I can’t repay you.”

Zhang Ruochen frowned and looked at her carefully, “What’s wrong? Where did the high-spirited, arrogant and capricious Lord Xia Yu go? Just with the failure of Yan Huangtu made her lose her confidence? The Xias entitled you Lord, you have to act like one too.”

“No, it has nothing to do with Yan Huangtu.”

Lord Xia Yu hesitated for a while and finally mustered up her courage and said, “I heard that there is also an Empress in Kunlun’s field who has a close relationship with you. Are you treating me so well just because I have her shadow? Is she also so arrogant and willful? Is she also so domineering and haughty?”

Zhang Ruochen’s expression tightened, and the air around him became colder.

After saying this, Lord Xia Yu regretted it immediately.

She had checked Zhang Ruochen’s information and knew that this matter was taboo for him to mention. But today, she could not help but say it.

The space seemed to be frozen. The more quiet Zhang Ruochen was, the heavier Lord Xia Yu’s mood became.

After a long time, Zhang Ruochen said coldly, “That Empress is very powerful. You are worse than her a hundred times. Don’t even think about competing with her. I asked you to recover as soon as possible because there is a secret matter that I want you to do for me personally. In the entire Infernal Court, there are not many people I can trust. You are one of the few.”

Lord Xia Yu was not angry at Zhang Ruochen’s derision. After all, that Empress was indeed an extraordinary woman. Of course, she did not admit defeat. Just because she could not compete with her now doesn’t mean that she couldn’t compete with her in the future.

She asked, “What’s the matter? Do I have to go?”

“Help me find someone. Someone from Kunlun’s Field.”

“A man or a woman?”

Zhang Ruochen stared at her and said, “A woman.”
