Mo Xiaogu extended a slender finger and drew in the air. Next, the spatial runes all interconnected into a long string.

Whoosh!

She grabbed in the air.

Fourteen drops of divine spring appeared in her palm.

“Pretty easy!”

She laughed. Taking out a detailed bottle, she put the 14 drops in.

When she looked toward Zhang Ruochen, she couldn’t smile anymore. She watched him collect a handful of divine spring at once, getting hundreds of drops and putting them in the wooden jar before him.

Mo Xiaogu couldn’t accept this. Huffing, she circulated her Holy Qi and used the Stealing Sky Technique.

Even so, she could only collect 30 drops at once. This was far from Zhang Ruochen’s level.

In the distance, Gong Ziyan had a cold expression.

Being able to collect divine spring from 800 meters away had already been a powerful ability and stunned everyone. But Zhang Ruochen and Mo Xiaogu stole the spotlight. Not only did this embarrass Gong Ziyan, it also made it seem like the Space Divine Pavilion’s leader wasn’t as talented as others.

Gong Ziyan had always gotten special treatment and was sought after by all forces. Naturally, he wasn’t willing to get beaten by someone else.

“We’re too far from the divine spring and the collection is too slow,” Gong Ziyan said. “Ziyan, Xun Ya, help me.”

Shang Ziyan understood what Gong Ziyan was thinking. “You want to go to the spatial fragment too? Are you confident?”

Gong Ziyan actually wasn’t confident, but seeing Zhang Ruochen and Mo Xiaogu collect so much divine spring in the short period of time, he felt very annoyed. “I can try.”

With Shang Ziyan and Xun Ya’s help, Gong Ziyan moved close to 100 meters and successfully landed on a spatial fragment.

His expression grew happier and he hurriedly drew a space transfer formation on the fragment.

His collection speed indeed grew faster, but still, he could only collect around five drops at a time. He was still far from Mo Xiaogu and Zhang Ruochen’s level.

“Drat. Could it be that it’s not only an advantage of distance? Are they more advanced in the Way of Space too?”

Gong Ziyan couldn’t accept this fact. He wanted to continue forward.

But as soon as he stepped out of the spatial fragment, half of his body was frozen stiff by a beam of ancient Yin Qi. Thankfully, he had a defensive rune scroll that saved his life.

He was forced to shrink back into the spatial fragment.

Shang Ziyan, Lian Xi, Xun Ya, Zhou Yu—the top four figures of the Heaven Field Sect—stood 100 meters away and sent telepathic messages to each other.

“It’s too strange!” Shang Ziyan said. “Gong Ziyan is a space manipulator. He’s extremely advanced in the Way of Space. How can two random juniors be even more skilled than him?”

“There are still people in our generation that can match Gong Ziyan in the Spatial Way,” Xun Ya said coldly. “For example, that mysterious human who killed the four-winged red angels before.”

Traceless Fairy Lian Xi said, “That girl probably isn’t simple either. She actually has a Yin God Lotus and could use the lotus to control a Supreme Saint monster. Technically, only the leader of an ancient sect can do something so powerful.”

“There are millions of secrets in the universe and countless geniuses and top figures!” Shang Ziyan lamented.

Zhou Yu, leader of Heaven Field, scoffed. “What’s the point of guessing? In my opinion, we can attack and test them after collecting the divine spring.”

The other three nodded softly.

The cultivators of the Ancient Civilization Sect were all flabbergasted.

It couldn’t be helped. Lin Yue and Mo Xiaogu’s moves were too eye-catching. Even Gong Ziyan, leader of the Space Divine Pavilion, seemed to be weaker than them.

The Thousand Star Maiden kept looking between Zhang Ruochen and Mo Xiaogu. She was still wondering what exactly had caused these two to compromise and put on the Heart Connection Bone Melt Lock.

And what was Fairy Tianchu hiding from her?

“Interesting. Very interesting.”

A smile appeared on the Thousand Star Maiden’s face.

Anyway, she had something that Zhang Ruochen desperately needed. It didn’t matter how much divine spring he collected. It would all be hers in the end.

“That Lin Yue collected most of the divine spring,” she said to Blindman and Big Beard. “The other cultivators definitely won’t let him leave. You two get ready to help him.”

Other than her, the other cultivators were all planning actions. Some of them wanted to intercept Zhang Ruochen, some wanted to trade with him, and others were horribly jealous and wanted to make Zhang Ruochen and Mo Xiaogu unable to return alive.

Anyway, Zhang Ruochen was pushed into the spotlight due to collecting the divine spring.

Before he could finish collecting, the major forces were already pushing forward secretly.

The spring’s mouth was in the center of the shattered space. It was filled with destructive forces, including the ancient Yin Qi, power of darkness, thunder, lightning, and fire.

If one looked closely, one would see that there was a majestic peak there.

The divine spring was located at the peak of a stone mountain.

This mountain seemed to have reached out of the broken space, but hadn’t been swallowed by the void. It was extremely strange.

Half a day passed. Zhang Ruochen collected more than 10,000 drops of divine spring, filling a jar created with wood from the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.

Just as Zhang Ruochen prepared to continue collecting, scales rained down on his head.

Golden scales fell down like rain, releasing a mesmerizing fragrance. With a mere whiff, Zhang Ruochen’s limbs grew very relaxed and his Holy Qi rushed forth like dragons.

“It’s scale rain. There’s divine medicine nearby.”

Eyes gleaming, Mo Xiaogu looked around.

Zhang Ruochen had heard legends of scale rains before too, so he grew excited.

According to the legends, scales would rain down where the divine medicine Scale Fern Beast Emperor grew. Beast cultivators could receive endless benefits if baptized by the scale rain. Their blood would become purer and even evolve into that of a dragon.

While Mo Xiaogu searched for the divine medicine, Zhang Ruochen took out a spatial container to collect the scale rain.

The other cultivators were stunned by the rain too. Each of them grew crazed.

Even a god would be shocked by divine medicine, let alone them.

The top ten godly disciples couldn’t keep calm anymore. They all used extreme measures to rush into the delta and charge toward the divine spring. They wanted to find the divine medicine too.

Roar!

Argh!

…

Shocking beastly roars spread out.

Thousands of beastly images appeared in the miles-long delta. There were kirins, dragons, Kun, golden rocs and more. They exploded with shocking force, making all the Saint Kings shudder as if they were seeing a group of beast emperors.

These beastly shadows rushed toward the divine spring and flew around the peak.

Gradually, the peak with the divine spring sank down and the shadows faded before finally disappearing into the broken space.

The scale rain disappeared too.

“The divine medicine left and took the divine spring away too.”

“That’s divine medicine! We must catch it. If it escapes, it’ll be impossible to find again.”

Many cultivators lost their minds and dashed into the delta, but the top ten godly disciples stopped them.

One of them, the Thousand-Winged Silver Dragon, said coldly, “The Scale Fern Beast Emperor didn’t escape. It just doesn’t want to be disturbed. Its cultivation is impossibly close to the Supreme Saint Realm. If it attacks, none of us will be able to survive.”

“That divine spring must be where the Scale Fern Beast Emperor lives,” Nie Xiangzi said calmly. “It took the divine spring away, so it clearly doesn’t want us to continue collecting it. The God-Naming Platform Conference is about to end. Everyone should hurry and leave.”

The top ten godly disciples had spoken, but the people didn’t plan on leaving now. Countless eyes stared at Zhang Ruochen and Mo Xiaogu with greed or jealousy.

The Thousand Star Maiden crossed her arms and looked confident. “Lin Yue, hurry over here. With me welcoming you, no one will dare to get ideas about your divine spring.”

The cultivators with powerful backgrounds didn’t care about the Thousand Star Maiden.

“Brother Lin Yue, I need the divine spring to extend the life of an ancestor in my clan. I hope to get 10,000 drops from you. Any price is fine.”

“I am the crown prince of the Fengtian Divine Dynasty. Brother Lin Yue, can we negotiate?”

…

Many cultivators guarded the path, blocking Zhang Ruochen and Mo Xiaogu’s way.

They claimed to want to trade or negotiate with Zhang Ruochen, but the atmosphere was very strange. If anyone tried to rob him, it would cause a chain reaction. Even the top ten godly disciples wouldn’t be able to control things.

Plus, the godly disciples came from the various worlds too. They probably wouldn’t do anything unless someone died.

Mo Xiaogu put away her 10,000 drops of divine spring and said, “Seems like you were right. We really can’t go back on the same path. Next, let me see just how skilled you are.”

Without speaking more, Zhang Ruochen activated the space transfer formation underfoot.

Whoosh!

Light flashed on the spatial fragment and Zhang Ruochen and Mo Xiaogu vanished. Only gaping eyes remained.

It was indeed dangerous to use teleportation in this deadly area, but after Zhang Ruochen grew familiar with the Time and Space Secret Guide, it wasn’t hard anymore.

After leaving, he didn’t immediately reunite with Xiang Chunan and Mu Lingxi. Instead, he and Mo Xiaogu left the God-Naming Platform so they wouldn’t get stopped by the greedy cultivators.

They sat in a saint carriage and went to the edge of the Truth Heavenly Domain. They didn’t stop until they reached a very barren mountain pass.

Zhang Ruochen jumped down and gazed at the dusk in the distance. “Now, give me that scroll and leave the Truth Heavenly Domain by yourself. I’ll pretend I never saw you.”

Princess Luosha recovered her original appearance. She reached out of the carriage, showing her snow-white skin, crimson hair, and alluring features. She smiled at Zhang Ruochen. “I still have very important matters in Heaven World, so I can’t leave. I will continue to save the scroll for you.”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes darkened. “Don’t push me. You have a chance to leave Heaven World now, so leave. Otherwise, if your identity is exposed, you won’t be able to escape even if you want to.”

“I have you and Fairy Tianchu under me, so I’m not scared.”

Princess Luosha fluttered her lashes and changed her tone. “Of course, if you really want to get the scroll back immediately, it’s negotiable. The prerequisite is that you return the Sundial to me and apologize to me respectfully.”
