Chapter 2371: Visions of the future

“Haha! Zhang Ruochen, how come your vigilance has become so bad?”

A burst of melodious, bell-like laughter rang out in the fog of stars. The sound came from left to right unpredictably.

Luo Sha’s slim and tall figure strolled out of the fog. She was at least 1.8 meters tall and her long and straight legs moved, full of youthful vigor. Her slim waist turned slightly, and she possessed a soul-stirring charisma.

She was dressed in ornate robes and had her hands clasped behind her back. Her long hair was tied into two braids. Her beautiful face that cause nations to fight over always had the pure smile of a young and innocent girl.

Such a young, clear, and pure-looking woman was like a lamb without any aggression. Who would believe that she was hiding military strategies within and full of schemes?

Zhang Ruochen asked, “Where is Lord Bladehell?”

“He is ranked in the top 10 on the Great Perfection of the Hundred-Shackle Realm list. With my cultivation, how can I eat him? Besides, the Immortal Vampires are also human-shaped creatures. I have no appetite for those at all.”

Luo Sha bit her red lips lightly and touched her belly. “I’m really hungry! Zhang Ruochen, do you have anything to eat?”

Zhang Ruochen asked, “Seriously where is Lord Bladehell? Is Luo Shengtian nearby also?”

The ten clans were all rivals.

Zhang Ruochen had to make no mistakes in order to win first place among the ten clans.

“Lord Bladehell, Lord Bladehell, everything you speak of is about Lord Bladehell. Is he your lover? If I wanted to harm you, the one who became Lord Bladehell just now would not be a hair, but my royal brother. With my royal brother’s cultivation, even if you didn’t die from the sneak attack just now, you would at least lose a layer of skin, right?”

Luo Sha beckoned with her finger and said, “If you want to know where the Lord Bladehell is, follow me.”

She turned into a streak of green light and flew away.

“Since Luo Sha turned into the Lord Bladehell’s appearance to trick me and knows that I had destroyed the Altar of Death, it can be seen that she knows the stars around the seventh Dark Star like the back of her hand.” Zhang Ruochen thought to himself. “There should be many Supreme Saints of the Rakshasa scattered around nearby.”

Lord Bladehell’s cultivation was indeed very strong, but Luo Sha’s Thousand-illusions technique was hard to guard against.

If they really fought, Lord Bladehell would most likely not be Luo Sha’s match.

Zhang Ruochen’s thoughts swirled around in his head, and then he chased after Luo Sha and flew into the Dark Star Domain covered by the energy of the seventh Dark Star.

They didn’t enter into the depths and instead halted at areas by the edge.

The two of them landed on an asteroid that revolved around the Dark Star.

The asteroid was more than 1,000 meters long and flat. Dozens of Rakshasa girls were stationed there. They were all Supreme Saints with lithe bodies and snow-white skin.

The Rakshasa girls were all beautiful, especially those who had reached Supreme Sainthood. They were all as beautiful as fairies and possessed devilishly slim figures.

“The princess is back!”

Rakshasa girls came forward one after another.

Their bodies carried elusive fragrance, and their eyes were glistening. They didn’t have the imposing manner of a Supreme Saint. Instead, they carried a gentle and seductive charm.

Even though many of their cultivation was above Luo Sha’s, they behaved extremely respectfully to Luo Sha. From this, one could see Luo Sha’s methods and abilities.

Luo Sha smiled and said, “Look who I brought back. Zhang Ruochen, the grandson of the Wargod Bloodximius. He has talent, status, and good looks. You fairies are lucky!”

Then he said hurriedly, “Han Ying, didn’t you kill a dragon in the Supreme Sainthood? Hurry up and cook it. I’m hungry.”

Other than the Rakshasa girl named Han Ying, all the other Rakshasa girls looked at Zhang Ruochen.

Their beautiful eyes flashed with fiery light as if they wanted to swallow Zhang Ruochen.

Not every Rakshasa girl looked at faces like Luo Sha, but they all worshipped the strong. There was not a single Rakshasa girl who could dislike an elite that emerges once in an era like Zhang Ruochen.

“Supreme Saint Ruochen, I heard that you defeated Wu Jiang. Is this true?”

“Has Supreme Saint Ruochen condensed and used the Grade Two Saintwill? I swore 500 years ago that I would only marry a genius who could condense the Grade Two Saintwill.”

“I am Yan Qing of the Yan Saint Clan of Devala, and I have long heard of Supreme Saint Ruochen’s great name. Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary. I wonder if we can get to know each other as friends?”

There were Rakshasa girls who introduced themselves with unconcealed love in their eyes.

If the Supreme Saints were like this, it could be seen that the Rakshasa girls were indeed bold in nature. They express their emotions freely and few were pretentious.

Luo Sha stood at the side and quietly looked at Zhang Ruochen who was being surrounded by the girls. Her face was full of smiles as she waved her hand while saying, “All of you can leave now. If you want to get to know Supreme Saint Ruochen, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Now, let me discuss important matters with him.”

These Rakshasa girls could attain Supreme Sainthood within 1,000 years. Naturally, they had very high standards. Only someone with family background and talent like Zhang Ruochen was worthy of them to take the initiative to approach.

If a female cultivator’s talent was too high, there would be countless lonely old people.

If they are talented, then naturally their standards would also be high.

When they reached Supreme Sainthood and sometimes even became gods, they would look down on the weak even more. Their feelings for men and women would also gradually fade, and they would focus more on understanding the Deva Path.

After the Rakshasa had dispersed, Zhang Ruochen and Luo Sha sat in the heptangular palace. Dragon meat, liver, and ears carrying an elegant fragrance were served before them.

Just a sniff was enough to make saliva flow.

The heptangular palace was an Imperial Artifact of Precept.

The various precepts flowed densely in the temple. One could eat and cultivate at the same time.

Luo Sha was a glutton.

Zhang Ruochen had known this when he first met her in the Zuling Realm.

Luo Sha ate elegantly and without cutlery by picking up pieces of fragrant dragon meat with her two jade fingers and putting them into her mouth. She chewed delicately and a layer of grease shone on her cheeks.

Her big, bright eyes stared at Zhang Ruochen, “Try some,” she said. “There are only a few dragons that have attained Supreme Sainthood in the entire Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. These ingredients are very precious! However, Han Ying’s culinary skills are far inferior to Qing Mo. I had wanted to bring Qing Mo back to the Infernal Court when I was in Kunlun, but that girl was too stubborn. She wouldn’t come with me no matter what.”

Zhang Ruochen was still wary of Luo Sha. He didn’t touch the food on the jade plate. “You were spying on me when I met Yuan Mo and Qi Yang right? Your spiritual power is so strong that I didn’t sense anything at all.”

Before Luo Sha had broken through to the Supreme Saint Realm, she had been able to control the corpse of a Supreme Saint with the help of the Dark Divinity Lotus. Her spiritual power was already very strong.

Now, it had grown a lot and wasn’t much weaker compared to Zhang Ruochen’s.

Luo Sha nodded, “My spiritual power is strong because of the foundation I built from reading books since I was young,” she said. “I have traveled all over the world to gain more knowledge. In the end, I obtained the Stellar Soul of God inside the Divine Python’s corpse in Kunlun. That’s how I advanced through leaps and bounds.”

Of course, Zhang Ruochen knew about the Divine Python’s corpse.

Back then, Zhang Ruochen had seized the Divine Python’s corpse and fused the evil spirit with the divine corpse. Luo Sha, on the other hand, had taken the more precious Divinity Source and the Stellar Soul of God.

Luo Sha’s cultivation of the paths and increase in spiritual power must have something to do with it.

“Where is Lord Bladehell?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Luo Sha rolled her eyes and said, “Why is it Lord Bladehell again? Don’t worry, I didn’t do anything to him. Besides, Lord Bladehell is also a tough guy. How can he be taken care of so easily?”

“Tell me your purpose.”

Zhang Ruochen was very direct. He didn’t want to waste too much time.

Luo Sha licked his lips and wiped her fingers on the scarf, saying, “Since Supreme Saint Ruochen doesn’t like foreplay, let’s get to the point. I want to work with you. To be more precise, I want to work with the Immortal Vampires to take down the seventh Dark Star.”

Zhang Ruochen was a little surprised. He smiled and said, “I prefer to work alone compared to working with others.”

“No, you do.” Luo Sha said.

Zhang Ruochen replied, “How so?”

“Because in the Battlefield of Celestial Hunting, the Immortal Vampires have enemies everywhere. Only the Rakshasa clan can be your friend.”

Luo Sha placed the jade plate containing the dragon meat in the center of the table, and said, “The seventh Dark Star is too big for the Immortal Vampires to take over. Besides, the three upper clans have been staying here for many days so you wouldn’t have any advantage over them.”

“Go on,” said Zhang Ruochen

“The Rakshasa clan has been operating and setting up on the seventh Dark Star. They have a better grasp of information there than the dozen or so Celestial Captives that you can send out at a short notice.”

“The dark dimension of the seventh Dark Star is 100 times wider than other Dark Stars,” said Luo Sha. “Without detailed and accurate information, you won’t be able to wipe out the Celestial Captives hiding everywhere, let alone in a few days. Even if you have a few years, you won’t be able to wipe them out.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “Now that you mention it, there seems to be a basis for cooperation. But, how do I know that you won’t betray the Immortal Vampires at a critical moment?”

Luo Sha picked up the dragon meat and ate another piece, she laughed and said, “What good would it do the Rakshasa clan to betray the Immortal Vampires? For them to provoke a great enemy like you for no reason… The Rakshasa clan certainly does not want to follow the footsteps of the Ghost and the Yanluo clan.”

Zhang Ruochen asked, “Where is Luo Shengtian? I want him to come out and talk to me personally.”

Luo Sha straightened her pink back and sat upright, and she said heroically, “I can make decisions for the Rakshasa.”

“But only if Luo Shengtian makes a move can we have more confidence in killing Lord Hornless,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Although Lord Hornless’s realm was profound, his spiritual power was sealed, and his hands and feet were bound by divine chains. His combat power was greatly reduced. Zhang Ruochen had dark time and space matter, so he was confident that he could kill him.

However, if Lord Hornless wanted to escape, Zhang Ruochen couldn’t stop him.

Therefore, he needed an elite to help tie him down.

Luo Sha said, “If you want to kill Lord Hornless, I can help you.”

“You?”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were full of doubt.

Luo Sha smiled and said, “I will personally go with you to kill Lord Hornless. Now, do you believe me?”

“You are playing with your own life,” Zhang Ruochen said in a deep voice.

When one’s cultivation reached Lord Hornless’s level, even the fallout of a battle could threaten Luo Sha’s fragile body.

Luo Sha said, “I love my life very much, so I am not joking.”

Zhang Ruochen could not guess what Luo Sha’s trump card was, but she was indeed extraordinary, so he temporarily believed her.

Zhang Ruochen finally let down his guard. He raised his glass and said, “Then I wish us a great victory to take down the seventh Dark Star as soon as possible.”

After clinking his glasses and drinking, Zhang Ruochen asked, “The three upper clans must have started to move. Your Highness, when do you think we should set off?”

Luo Sha’s almond-shaped eyes stared straight at Zhang Ruochen’s evil and handsome face, and she said, “There’s no rush. Let the three upper clans clear the way for us first. We’ll set off after they’ve cleared the array patterns, runes, and saint technique traps. Come, let us talk again.”

“Talk about what?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Luo Sha said, “About… how about feelings? I’m still curious. Are you a passionate man or one that is fickle with love?”

“Boring.”

Zhang Ruochen stood up and was about to leave. Suddenly, he stopped. He thought of something and sat back down.

Luo Sha curled her red lips and chewed on the dragon liver in her mouth. “Why aren’t you leaving?” she asked.

“I have a few questions. I want to communicate with you to know what you think about them,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Luo Sha looked very interested. “That’s great! Supreme Saint Ruochen has already treated me as a close friend. Now please tell me what are you confused about, and maybe I can help you figure it out,” she said excitedly.

Zhang Ruochen asked, “Does your Highness have a grand goal or vision?”

Luo Sha had a strange look in her eyes, and she smiled while saying, “This is the question that Wargod Bloodximius asked you to think about, right?”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t say anything.

Luo Sha said, “Actually, only a Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint would think about this question seriously and make a careful decision. The fact that the Wargod Bloodximius asked you to think about it at this stage is correct. If you figure it out earlier, you will be less troubled when you are in the Thousand-Koan Realm.”

“Why the Thousand-Koan Realm?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Luo Sha stood up with her arms behind her back, and she spoke frankly with assurance, “The most important thing for the Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint is to transform the Path. The so-called transformation of the Path is to show what the heart is thinking.”

“Therefore, cultivators at this stage will ask themselves all sorts of questions, such as by inquiring themselves about the gains and losses in their lives. They will ask about the right and wrong of the past and the direction of the future… and so on. Then, they will solve the problems one by one.”

“The more complete one’s state of mind is, the more complete one’s Path will be.”

“At this stage, the most important question is the cultivator’s vision. Every cultivator at this stage will have a vision that they will have to work hard to achieve. It can also be called a dream and goal.”

“The Supreme Saint of the Thousand-Koan Realm calls this ‘The heart determines your future achievements.'”

“Of course, it doesn’t mean that the bigger the wish, the better. For example, some cultivators in the Thousand-Koan Realm make a grand wish to become the leader of the Rakshasa in their lifetime. As such, the grand wish will take root and become his obsession.”

“However, as his cultivation grew higher and higher, he realized that this vision could not be realized. Instead, it gives birth to a mental demon which consumes him and causes him to become a madman that had lost his mind.”

“Therefore, for every cultivator in the Thousand-Koan Realm, when they asked about their future goals and dreams, they decided based on their strength and true thoughts. The more false and empty the wish is, the worse the result,” she said darkly, “Just like…”

Zhang Ruochen woke up from deep within his thoughts and asked, “Just like what?”

“You must not hit me if I said it,” Luo Sha warned.

Zhang Ruochen replied, “Just say it. I won’t hit you.”

Luo Sha said, “Just like Saint Monk Xumi. He made a grand vow that he wouldn’t attain Buddhahood until the Infernal Court was empty. But in the end, he died in the hands of the Infernal Court deities. Isn’t that ironic? What are you doing, Zhang Ruochen? This is the territory of the Rakshasa. You can’t go back on your words…”

This was a complete provocation!

She knew that Zhang Ruochen was the disciple of Saint Monk Xumi, but she still said such words. so wasn’t she asking for a beating?

Based on his previous experience beating her up, Zhang Ruochen seriously suspected that Luo Sha was deliberately courting death and wanted to be beaten up by him… because females always said one thing but secretly think of the opposite.
