Chapter 1684: Spatial Division Rune

Gu Feng believed that other than Space Controller Gong Ziyan, no one below the Supreme Saint Realm was more skilled than him in the Spatial Way. He obviously didn’t think that Zhang Ruochen had any special tactics. “It’s impossible to open a path on the spatial wall,” he said coldly. “Only the elder of the Space Godly Palace can do it.”

Li Qinghai and the others found it impossible too, but they didn’t dare to make such a comment.

After all, Lin Yue was indeed more skilled than them.

The Wizard God Emperor walked forward like a dragon or tiger. “Brother Lin, ignore Gu Feng and try your best. Let us know if you need anything.”

“It is very dangerous to open a path on the spatial wall,” Zhang Ruochen said carefully. “If anything happens, I hope someone can pull me out of the fatal land.”

The Wizard God Emperor was about to speak…

Fairy Tianchu’s crisp voice floated out first. “Luo Ji is willing to help you.”

Wearing an unsullied white robe and a veil, Fairy Tianchu walked forward with lotus-like steps. She carried a light fragrance. Arriving on the other side of Zhang Ruochen, her temperament was noble and ethereal. She seemed otherworldly.

Seeing such a beautiful person, one would finally understand what “lovely enough to cause a city to fall” or “only envious of the lovebirds and not the gods” meant.

If one could be together with Fairy Tianchu, even abandoning the Holy Way was okay.

Poof!

The ring on Fairy Tianchu’s finger transformed into a thin white chain that wrapped around Zhang Ruochen’s waist.

Some incredibly thin strands of light snaked out of the chain and wrapped around most of Zhang Ruochen’s body.

“Let me try first.”

Zhang Ruochen took out a rune pen and drew spatial runes on the ground.

As the patterns showed, a hole actually appeared on the spatial wall. It kept digging deeper.

Zhang Ruochen walked into the hole and continued drawing spatial runes.

After a while, the path on the spatial wall was actually a dozen meters deep.

All the cultivators there were amazed. They’d never seen such powerful spatial tactics before.

Mo Xiaogu’s pretty eyes widened further and further. “It’s the Spatial Division Rune,” she cried. “Lord Lin actually knows such advanced and terrifying runes.”

“No way! In legends, the Spatial Division Rune is a terrible rune that can rip apart an entire world. It’s forbidden in the Space Godly Palace. Even elders can’t cultivate it.” Li Qinghai’s throat was dry.

Gu Feng’s eyes had an expression of disbelief. How old was Lin Yue? How could he be so powerful?

All the princes, maidens, deities, and fairies there were ecstatic. They saw hope in Lin Yue.

Suddenly, an accident happened.

The path under Zhang Ruochen’s feet collapsed into countless spatial cracks. The walls on either side started pressing in.

Fairy Tianchu’s finger moved and pulled Zhang Ruochen out with the white chain.

Thud!

The open path disappeared and the spatial crack went back to how it was.

“Brother Lin, what happened?” the Wizard God Emperor asked immediately.

“It’s my first time using the Spatial Division Rune and I’m not familiar enough with it. I messed up a small detail.”

Zhang Ruochen still felt fearful. Thankfully, Fairy Tianchu had been quick and saved him immediately. Otherwise, if he fell into the spatial wall, he would probably die even if he had the Time and Space Secret Guide.

“I’ll try two more times,” Zhang Ruochen said. “I should be able to succeed.”

The Wizard God Emperor was instantly relieved. Smiling, he said, “Brother Lin, no need to hurry. Take your time and be careful.”

“Safety first,” Fairy Tianchu also said.

Now, Zhang Ruochen had become their only hope. They obviously cared about Zhang Ruochen’s safety and didn’t want anything to happen.

He was about to start again when a voice rang out. “Before Lin Yue opens the road, I believe there are some things we should discuss.”

The Thousand Star Maiden walked out of the Starry Carriage. She seemed to have recovered. She walked toward the spatial wall.

“Little Jing, what do you want to discuss?” Fairy Tianchu asked.

“Lin Yue is the spatial cultivator I invited at a great cost,” the Thousand Star Maiden said. “If he successfully opens a path on the spatial wall and leads everyone deeper into the spatial zone, then I will take 30% of the divine spring that we find.”

“I thought you weren’t interested in the divine spring?” the Wizard God Emperor asked.

“Things change,” the Thousand Star Maiden said. “Since there’s a chance to get the divine spring, I obviously have to share the rewards.”

Suddenly, she frowned, because she discovered that many cultivators were looking at her with odd gazes.

She didn’t care that many men stared at her, because she was used to it. A talented woman like her stood out wherever she was, attracting much attention.

But even Fairy Tianchu was looking at her with a different gaze. This was very strange!

The Thousand Star Maiden felt awkward due to these strange gazes. She moved the power of the origin to her ears and instantly heard what the people were saying telepathically.

“Do you see? The Thousand Star Maiden also changed her dress. Can you say nothing happened between her and Lin Yue in the Starry Carriage?”

“Didn’t she just say that she invited Lin Yue with a great cost? Could the cost be… Oh my, the Thousand Star Maiden is the maiden of an ancient civilization. How can she do this? If news spreads, can she still keep her title? I heard that there are many talented figures in the Thousand Star Civilization who want the position of maiden.”

“It might not be some dirty exchange. It could be that Lin Yue and the Thousand Star Maiden love each other and they’re a couple.”

“Lin Yue is very advanced in the Spatial Way, so he qualifies for the Thousand Star Maiden.”

…

Hearing these messages, the Thousand Star Maiden almost spat out blood.

Hearing them say that she and Lin Yue had had car sex for an hour made her go especially crazy. She wanted to grab those people and beat them until even their mothers couldn’t recognize them.

But she stopped herself.

She had to keep calm. The more furious she was, the more they would think that she and Zhang Ruochen had some dirty exchange.

Explaining was useless now. Unless she revealed Zhang Ruochen’s true identity, any explanation would make things worse. But if she revealed Zhang Ruochen’s true identity, then the marriage proposal would be exposed too, as well as her secret of having Mysteries of Truth.

The Thousand Star Maiden never thought that she would be in such a difficult state one day. She really wanted to cry.

Just then, the Great Senior came out. “Lin Yue was indeed invited by Little Jing. She must’ve paid Lin Yue a great sum, so it’s not unreasonable for her to take 30% of the divine spring.”

Since the Great Senior had spoken, the others naturally had no objections.

The Thousand Star Maiden ground her teeth. Forcing her tone to be calm, she said to Fairy Tianchu, “Sister, you can go down. Let me help him.”

“Okay!”

Fairy Tianchu retrieved the white chain wrapped around Zhang Ruochen and retreated to a distance.

“I feel like I worked…quite well…with the fairy…”

Zhang Ruochen knew that the Thousand Star Maiden didn’t have good intentions, so he wanted to keep Fairy Tianchu. But the Thousand Star Maiden already sent out nine chains. They wrapped around him, each one releasing different power.

“Ah-Yue, go carve the runes. I’ll pull you back at the most dangerous moment.” The Thousand Star Maiden’s eyes were frigid.

Naturally, Zhang Ruochen didn’t believe her. If there really was danger, it would be even stranger if the Thousand Star Maiden saved him. She might take this chance to kill him.

“Yu Chenjing,” Zhang Ruochen said telepathically. “If you really don’t save me, you won’t get the divine spring or my Mysteries of Truth.”

The Thousand Star maiden’s fingers trembled in anger. “Zhang Ruochen, you ruined me. Do you know how they’re talking about us?”

“You know already? It’s just car sex.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled, not caring. After a pause, he said, “This is your fault, not mine.”

“If I lose my reputation, you will lose your life.”

This time, Zhang Ruochen had to try his best to stabilize her. “Joy and tragedy come hand in hand. This might not be a bad thing for you.”

“This can be a good thing?”

“This can challenge your mindset,” Zhang Ruochen said. “People only grow if they can withstand troubles and challenges. Look at those true top figures. Do they care how people think about them? It’s because their hearts are steady and unable to be affected by others. Who cares what others think?

“You never ran into any trouble in your life. You were never looked down on, humiliated, insulted, or lied too. You stand too high and are unsullied like a fairy. That’s why your mindset is flawed.

“If you get past this, your mindset will definitely grow. It’ll be much easier to reach the Supreme Saint Realm.”

Hearing this, the Thousand Star Maiden’s mood somehow improved. However, she soon said coldly, “No matter what you say, it doesn’t change the fact that you ruined me. Draw your runes. If you mess up again, I definitely won’t save you.”

Carving the Spatial Division Rune was very risky and it was difficult to not make mistakes. Zhang Ruochen didn’t want the divine spring anymore. He really wanted to escape.

But the nine chains trapped him there. He couldn’t escape.

He could only pull his nerves taut and focus to the extreme. He carved carefully, afraid of making any mistakes.

As time passed, the path opened up by the Spatial Division Rune grew longer and longer.

Behind him, the Thousand Star Maiden could see sweat roll down Zhang Ruochen’s neck. A smile finally appeared on her face. Being controlled by Zhang Ruochen in the Time and Space Secret Guide really depressed her.

Now, she wanted to make Zhang Ruochen experience having someone else control his life or death.

Perhaps because Zhang Ruochen was extremely careful, he didn’t make any mistakes this time. He successfully penetrated the spatial wall, opening up a path that was more than 60 meters long.

The Thousand Star Maiden frowned, feeling a bit disappointed. “The Spatial Division Rune is so advanced and complicated, but this guy actually succeeded! Shouldn’t he have died?”

The cultivators of the Ancient Civilization Sect were all overjoyed. They rushed toward the spatial zone inside the wall.

Zhang Ruochen was the first to arrive at the other end, but before he could celebrate, he was met with a familiar ancient Yin Qi. His heart instantly sank.
