Within the Sundial’s coverage, Blackie spent more than a year carving tens of billions of inscriptions of an array on three Supreme Artifacts and twenty-eight Regal Artifacts.

All kinds of auxiliary materials were also refined well.

Zhang Ruochen’s heart, which had been hanging in the air, was slightly relieved. He said, “Is there any way to avoid the prediction and perception of other cultivators?”

Blackie thought carefully about Zhang Ruochen’s question, thinking he was worried about the Tensho Compass. It said, “You have a god to help you cover up the secrets of heaven. In fact, you don’t have to worry about being predicted. However, the Tensho Compass is no small matter. It is a Divine Artifact, after all. If the Divination Division goes to the Xue Jue Family and collects the utensils you used or the sacred robe you wore, it will be useless no matter how you hide within a certain distance.”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “Of course, We can’t avoid the Divine Artifacts’ perception. I’m not talking about the Tensho Compass. I’m talking about Guye Jing. This demoness is hard to distinguish between friend and foe. She has big plans, but she also has a drop of my Supreme Saint’s blood. She can find me anytime and anywhere. How can I get rid of this nuisance?”

“A drop of your Supreme Saint’s blood? Does it contain your essence, Qi, and spirit?” asked Blackie.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Yes.”

“You gave it to her?” Blackie asked again.

“You could say that!” said Zhang Ruochen.

Blackie sneered. “Then there’s nothing you can do! The karma you planted can’t be resolved.”

Generally speaking, the blood of an injured Supreme Saint didn’t contain the essence, Qi, and spirit of a cultivator. Even if they collected the blood, it wouldn’t be easy to find the owner with the help of the blood.

Zhang Ruochen had divided out a drop of blood by himself. The blood contained his essence, Qi, and spirit.

Guye Jing had it. If she used a secret technique, it would be easy to find Zhang Ruochen.

Blackie said again, “Actually, you don’t have to worry too much. Even if she has a drop of your blood, she must be within range to locate you with her spiritual power.

“Besides, she has absorbed a lot of your soul. Why are you still worried about a drop of blood? Unless you can kill her, this demoness might become a great nuisance and give you a fatal blow at the critical moment.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “It’s better to avoid enemies than make enemies. Before Guye Jing shows her hostility, it’s better not to make enemies. I have enough enemies now.”

Blackie hissed. It was hard to believe that such words came from Zhang Ruochen’s mouth.

Zhang Ruochen was not like this in the past.

Even if it was just a potential enemy, Zhang Ruochen would strike first and kill him.

Zhang Ruochen said, “You don’t have to be so surprised. I have my own observations. There is no personal grudge between Guye Jing and me because we only have a mutual interest. Perhaps we can become allies because of Luo Sha.

“Recently, I have been thinking about why I am enemies with everyone. Other than external reasons, perhaps there is a big problem with my previous way of doing things.

“If I treat potential enemies as enemies, they become enemies. But I’ve never thought about resolving the hostile relationship between the two sides.

“Some enemies may not necessarily be sworn enemies, but they can also become friends.”

Zhang Ruochen had such an understanding because when he broke the Shackle of Desire, he had experienced all kinds of things again. He found that some of his previous actions were too extreme. He lacked goodwill toward many people and many things and the patience to resolve conflicts.

For example, when he first met Kong Lanyou 800 years later, he didn’t believe her. He was even hostile toward her.

Another example, he had taken the initiative to assassinate the Maiden of a Thousand Stars because he worried she would take his Canons of Truth.

In fact, the Maiden of a Thousand Stars had never really killed him. In the end, the two of them were in the ruins of the Dragon Temple. They had been through thick and thin by chance. Not only did they resolve their hostility, but they also formed a friendship.

You are full of hostility to the world, so naturally, you are the enemy of the whole world.

No one wanted to be the enemy of the whole world.

Everyone wanted to have more friends.

As Zhang Ruochen thought about it, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind. He seemed to have grasped a key point.

However, that flash disappeared again.

…

…

House of Enchanteurs.

Bai Qing’er had always been a very mysterious person. Even the cultivators in the Enchanteur Chamber knew very little about her.

Because of this, the palace where she lived was rather cold.

Other than the owner of the House of Enchanteurs on Hoth, few people knew that she lived here.

Kai Luo had snow-white hair and a long beard. His beard was woven into a whip, and he wore a white jade mask. He stood in the middle of the hall with his hands behind his back, admiring the ancient painting hanging on the wall.

“It is a beautiful painting. Every stroke is a pattern of an array. If this painting is activated, it will become a ninth-class array instantly. It’s enough to suppress a Supreme Saint at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. The painter should be at least an array cultivator in the King of Sea and Land level,” said Kai Luo.

Bai Qing’er walked in from outside. Her entire body was covered in a black veil, and her face could not be seen clearly. Her voice was hoarse as she said, “This painting is known as Snow-covered Land. It is the work of Master Yun Qi from Hoth Palace. He is known as the top Array Master on Hoth.”

Kai Luo smiled and said, “This Master Yun Qi’s painting skills are not bad. Unfortunately, his Path of Array is very common.”

Very few High-Saint Array Masters could be called the “King of Sea and Land” in the entire Dominion of the Bloodysky Clan. Even some of the most potent worlds in the Celestial Court might not have a High-Saint Array Master at the King of Sea and Land level.

If his words were to be spread out, he would definitely be condemned by all the cultivators on Hoth.

Kai Luo was also straightforward. He picked up the brush on the table and drew a few strokes on the scroll.

Suddenly, the snowy scenery on the scroll changed significantly. Even if it was just hanging on the wall, it seemed like it would engulf the two people in the hall.

The array of the scroll instantly rose to a new level.

Bai Qing’er narrowed her beautiful eyes. This painting could probably be used to suppress a Supreme Saint in the Early-stage of the Thousand-Koan Realm. The Heavenly Realm had sent an incredible master over.

Kai Luo put down his brush. He thought that he had achieved in creating awareness among his opponents. He said, “All the treasures on Zhang Ruochen belong to the Heavenly Realm, including his life. Other than that, Zhou Zhen, Shentu Yunkong, and Lian Xi, I want them alive.”

One of the four world overlords of the Heavenly Realm could be powerful if they were to discuss cooperation with a mere figure such as the Enchanteur Chamber.

Moreover, this time, the Enchanteur Chamber took the initiative to look for the Heavenly Realm.

Bai Qing’er said, “Everyone knows that Zhang Ruochen has countless treasures and the Canon that even the gods covet. If you take all the benefits, what will we get?”

Kai Luo laughed loudly. “Aren’t you thinking about the Tensho Compass? The Heavenly Realm doesn’t want to compete with you for this Divine Artifact, but you can push all of this onto the Heavenly Realm. Isn’t this a benefit?”

Kai Luo was a brilliant person. He went straight to the point and revealed Bai Qing’er’s schemes and plots.

He told her directly that the Heavenly Realm was willing to take the blame, but Zhang Ruochen belongs to the Heavenly Realm.

Bai Qing’er said, “Why do I need the Tensho Compass? Without the Canon of Destiny, I can’t use the Tensho Compass. Instead, I’ll make the Fane of Destiny furious.”

“Zhang Ruochen has the Canon of Destiny. When the time comes, I’ll give you 0.0001 of it,” Kai Luo said.

Bai Qing’er was silent for a while and said, “Since you’ve seen through my plans, I won’t hide it anymore. Yes, my goal is the Tensho Compass. This time, it will be mine for sure.

“Good. Before we do anything big, we should distribute the benefits first. We’ll carry out the plan according to your plan.”

Kai Luo nodded with satisfaction and said, “This time, apart from discussing the distribution of benefits, I have a gift for you. Perhaps at a critical moment, it can play an important role.”

Kai Luo stretched out a finger and drew in the void.

Space was like a piece of paper, and a rift appeared.

From the rift, a two-meter-tall iron cage flew out.

Nine sacred chains were wrapped around the iron cage. The other end of the sacred chains pierced through the chest and back of the old man in the cage.

The old man wore a broad scholar’s robe. His face was old and wrinkled, and his white hair fell over his face.

Bai Qing’er asked, “Who is he?”

“He was captured from Kunlun. His name is Shangguan Que, a cultivator of the Path of Confucianism. He is Zhang Ruochen’s teacher,” Kai Luo said.

Bai Qing’er said, “I’ll take it!”

“Farewell,” said Kai Luo.

Kai Luo tidied his clothes and walked out of the hall. Looking at the snowflakes flying in the sky, a long smile appeared on his face.

“The little girl is young, but she has a big ambition,” said Kai Luo.

How could the Heavenly Realm not want the Tensho Compass?

However, Kai Luo knew well that the Fane of Destiny was mighty. The price was too high if they wanted to take the Tensho Compass. With just the ten major dark forces, their persistence was futile.

Of course, if the ten major dark forces could inflict heavy damage on the Fane of Destiny, the Heavenly Realm would naturally not mind coming out to take advantage of them.

Bai Qing’er looked at Shangguan Que in the iron cage and was still deep in thought.

Shang Xia stood behind her and said worriedly, “The Heavenly Realm must know about our plan because they have people among the ten major dark forces.”

“I’m not surprised! The ten major dark forces were not accepted by the Fane of Destiny because they had the support of the Heavenly Realm in secret. Some of the dark forces were even formed by the Heavenly Realm. In comparison, the Enchanteur Chamber is relatively innocent!” Bai Qing’er said.

Shang Xia said, “Forgive me for being blunt, but we shouldn’t have led the plan to seize the Tensho Compass, and we shouldn’t have allied with the other nine major dark forces. Since the Heavenly Realm knows about it, how could the Fane of Destiny not know?

“It’s only interesting if everyone knows about it. I want to make this pond even more chaotic.”

Bai Qing’er pointed at the Snow-covered Land on the wall and said, “Send this painting to the Governor’s Manor and let Senior Brother Duan take a good look at it.”

Shang Xia rolled up the painting and left.

Bai Qing’er waved her finger like a sword.

SWOOSH!

The nine sacred chains on the iron cage and Shangguan Que were broken, turning into pieces of scrap metal that scattered all over the ground.

Shangguan Que was still very calm. He sat on the ground and looked up at her.

“I heard that Kunlun developed the Path of Confucianism to its pinnacle at its most glorious time. It also gave birth to four great Confucius forefathers, all of whom were like supreme beings in the heavens. I am proficient in all the paths in the world, but I only heard of Confucianism’s name yet never cultivated its path. Sir, could you be my teacher for a few days and teach me?” asked Bai Qing’er.

The black gauze on Bai Qing’er’s body completely dispersed, revealing her beautiful face. She helped Shangguan Que up, her eyes sincere and modest.

“What about a few days later?” Shangguan Que said lightly.

Bai Qing’er said, “Zhang Ruochen’s attitude will determine your future.”
