Yu Xu Feng, the main peak of the sacred land.


On a mountainside thousands of meters high, there stands an ancient temple.


In front of the palace, there stood a 74-meter-high stone statue. It was clad in holy armor and held a heavy sword, majestic and imposing. Vaguely, there was also an aura of immense sacred power emanating from it.


That is the statue of "Barbarian Sword Saint". There are fourteen such statues in the Fourteen Holy Lands within the Red Dragon Holy Domain, just like a part of the Barbarian Sword Saint himself. In times of crisis, the statues can erupt with attack methods, killing evil forces that attack the holy land.


>At this moment, over two hundred half-saints of the Holy Ming Central Empire stood in neat rows beneath the statue. Their spirits were high, and a faint white light emanated from their bodies, as if each of them housed a moon within.

"To be able to cultivate by the side of His Royal Highness, is truly a fortunate thing. With my previous talent and physique, it would have been extremely difficult to reach the realm of a ninth-rank semi-saint. It would have taken great fortune. But after experiencing the baptism of opening up the world in the Kunlun Realm, my physique underwent earth-shaking changes. On Mount Moon Goddess, I was further tempered by the power of moonlight, and both my physique and holy soul were elevated to another level. I feel that with my current talent, I will be able to strive for the realm of a Saint King in the future. All of this is thanks to His Royal Highness."


My fortune is greater than yours. I found a rare sacred herb in the world of heaven and earth, and after refining it, I achieved a rather special physique.


What is this?




????????…………




The over two hundred semi-saints present were not just former members of the Holy Bright Central Empire, but also some from the Azure Dragon Ruins Realm. Of course, they are all now part of the Holy Bright Central Empire.


Actually, the vast majority of former members of the Shengming Central Empire are still in the Kunlun Realm and have not come to the Yuanxu Peak Holy Land.


"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has arrived…"


"As expected of the Crown Prince, he's still so handsome and mighty, completely outshining those who think they are beautiful. Furthermore, the holy aura emanating from His Highness is truly powerful, like a divine sun, capable of refining heaven and earth."


With Zhang Ruochen's arrival, these demigods of the Shengming Central Empire were all incredibly excited. Male demigods revered him like a god, while female demigods had fervent eyes and racing hearts, viewing him as the most admired hero in their hearts.


"Greetings, Your Highness."


A deafening roar shook the earth.


Zhang Ruochin and Xiao Hei walked side by side, scanning the kneeling half-saints. Zhang Ruochin nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself: "As expected, every half-saint's physique and spirit have improved significantly. Yue Shen Shan is not just an ordinary mountain; after the return of the Moon God, it has become a peerless treasure, rapidly enhancing the overall strength of the Guang Han Realm."


The <<< gods in the Heavenly Court, it is indeed impossible to interfere. Let me know if you'd like anything else translated!


But the power that God possesses is beyond what the Great Sage can compare to.




Like "Mount Moon God," before the return of the Moon God, it was merely a decent place for cultivation. However, with the Moon God presiding over Mount Moon God, it transformed into an unparalleled treasure land capable of enhancing the physique, spirit, and sacred soul of half-saints.


As time goes on, the overall strength of the Guang Han Realm will certainly grow stronger and stronger.


Zhang Ruochin walked all the way to the steps of the palace before stopping and turning around. "Today, this prince sets down a rule here: any cultivator from the Shengming Central Empire who reaches the semi-saint realm will be exempt from kneeling."


All the half-sages who were kneeling on one knee stood up, their hearts filled with emotion.


Those who can cultivate to the realm of half-saints are naturally wise men. They know that His Royal Highness is cultivating in them a strong heart that is "unyielding to others".


"Since you've come to the sacred land of Yu Xū Peak, this prince does have a gift for you all." Zhang Ruochen said.


"The prince has always been generous. Since he's sending a gift for the meeting, it definitely won't be something ordinary."


"The prince is handsome. If I could follow the prince, even just as a maidservant who serves tea and water, it would be a happy thing."


Zhang Ruochen looked at the expectant eyes of the crowd, and then smiled slightly. He took out over two hundred storage bags from his spatial ring, mobilized his holy energy, and shot them out, landing before them.


"As you all know, this prince is a time traveler and should have refined some better spatial treasures for you. However, your cultivation levels are too low. Giving you superior spatial treasures would only bring danger to your lives." Zhang Ruochen said.


In the heavenly realm, many even among the saints don't have storage pouches. Yet Zhang Ruochin gave one to each of the semi-saints. This is already quite generous.


During the Merit Battle, although each saint from the seven realms of Shada received a storage pouch, the internal space of those pouches was extremely limited.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else! ?
Furthermore, after the Merit War ended, all storage pouches were taken back.


Only warriors who enter the Merit Battlefield are eligible to temporarily obtain a storage pouch.


Because having a storage bag can improve combat efficiency.


As the half-saints picked up their storage pouches, they were naturally filled with excitement.


But when they heard Zhang Ruichen's next words, they were even more excited and almost jumped out of their skins.


Every storage pouch contains a Sacred Origin. With the assistance of the Sacred Origins, your current physiques should find it easier to cultivate to the level of a Saint. Zhang Ruochin said.


"What? Holy Source." Let me know if you have anything else you'd like me to translate!


"There's actually a Saint Origin."


With the help of the holy source, I should be able to break through to the Holy Realm within ten years.


Seeing everyone's joyful expressions, Zhang Ruochen also felt genuine happiness from the bottom of his heart. What he needed was a group of cultivators who were willing to follow him into battle, not those who were forced to join the Shengming Central Imperial Empire.


Even if Zhang Ruochin gave the Moon God one million holy sources, he would still have over a hundred thousand left.


These holy sources would be enough for him to cultivate a powerful army of saints, advancing step by step and growing stronger. Eventually, he could lead them to confront the first Central Imperial Army of Chi Yao, or even step onto the battlefield and fight against the hell realms.


Suddenly, Zhang Ruochin's nose twitched, catching a familiar, faint fragrance.


When he turned around, he saw Mu Lingxi's beautiful figure. She was standing outside the palace gate, like a fairy stepping out of a painting.


After inheriting the legacy of the Binghuo Phoenix, Mu Lingxi's Ice Phoenix bloodline within her fully awakened. Her skin was as crystal clear as a spirit jade, and the pair of wings on her back emitted dozens of rays of light. Her phoenix eyes were even more dazzling than the stars in the sky.


After becoming Bai Yue Shen's disciple, Mu Lingxi clearly changed. Her aura became more similar to the Moon Goddess', gaining a sense of sanctity and losing some of her earthly charm. However, when she looked at Zhang Ruochin, a lively smile still appeared on her face.


"So beautiful, only a beauty like the Holy Maiden's is worthy of the Crown Prince."


<<>>


Previously, that Arhat who desperately wanted to be by Zhang Ruochin's side and serve as his maid had let out a soft sigh. Standing before Mu Lingxi, they all felt ashamed of themselves.


Mu Lingxi, though smiling, revealed a hint of resentment in her eyes as she said, "You insist on keeping me by the Moon Goddess' side. I didn't expect that I would have the audacity to run back again."


This is your home, you can always come back.


Zhang Ruochen walked over and stood opposite Mu Lingxi. Both of them were bathed in holy light, like a golden boy and jade girl, gazing at each other.


"Click click." Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else! ?


Applause broke out.




Wu Hao walked out of the palace and clapped his hands, laughing: "The divine envoy is indeed generous, offering hundreds of holy sources with just a hand. Even I am tempted to join the Yuanxu Peak Holy Land."


Zhang Ruochin hurriedly withdrew his gaze from Mu Lingxi and smiled, "So Jiezi is here too. Let's go into the hall and talk."


As Zhang Ruochen entered the hall, he realized that it wasn't just Wu Hao who had arrived at Yuanxu Peak Sacred Land. Accompanying him were Su Qingling, Wen Shusheng, and Ling Mi, all renowned Saint Realm prodigies from the Guang Han realm.


Besides these, there are also two figures at the level of Saint Kings. They are both at the realm of Step Saint King. Their faces are aged, yet they exude a powerful aura.


The two were already deeply steeped in the realm of One Step Saint King, far surpassing those newly promoted to that level.


Zhang Ruchen said, “This Sacred One's Merit War, everyone has experienced nine deaths and one life, at the same time, they have also gained not a small amount of harvest. They should go all out to impact the Saint King realm. So, you came to Yuanxu Peak Holy Land, it’s not just to come to me for an old friend's visit, right?”


Wu Hao didn't beat around the bush. He directly stated his purpose, saying: "Divine Envoy, you're incredibly intelligent and guessed our intentions right away. That's right, this matter is indeed related to the Merit War.""Oh?" Zhang Ruochin asked.


Wu Hao said: "Because the cultivators of the Cold Moon Realm bravely fought on the battlefield, they collected a large amount of merit points and made great contributions to the Heavenly Court. Therefore, the Divine Hall of Truth sent down a divine decree, rewarding the Cold Moon Realm with six places to cultivate in the Divine Hall of Truth. This is a rare opportunity."


"Truth Temple, six spots?"


A ripple of emotion passed through Zhang Ruochin's heart.



Let me know if you'd like anything else translated!
It is important to know that "The Way of Truth" is one of the Nine Ancient Ways.


To comprehend the most authentic path to truth, one must undoubtedly journey to the Temple of Truth.


The quota for cultivation is extremely precious.


Normally, every ten years, the Cold Realm can only allocate three spots.


It is precisely because the Guang Han Realm suffered great sacrifices in the Ancestral Spirit Realm that the Temple of Truth divided six spots, providing compensation and rewards.


<<>>


"This is a challenge."


Although Wu Hao spoke casually, Zhang Ruochin felt a sense of rivalry in his words.


After all, on the battlefield of merit, Zhang Ruochin was indeed too ostentatious. He took away all the limelight that belonged to Jiezi. Now, Zhang Ruochin's reputation in the Cold Jade Realm is probably far beyond Wu Hao.




It's perfectly normal for someone to want to challenge him.
