God Emperor - Chapter 1154

Chapter 1154: Edge Of The Stars

Zhang Ruochen didn’t continue trying to open his apertures. He stopped and prepared to rest for a bit.

He went to Huang Yanchen’s cultivation residence and asked, “Did you go through the third Pre-Saint Trial yet?”

Huang Yanchen shook her head. “I refined all the Pill Spirit half a year ago and reached the pinnacle of the second trial. However, the third trial is very dangerous. It’s known as a life-or-death trial. I don’t dare to try before I’m fully confident. I need more accumulation.”

She poured a cup of spiritual spring water for Zhang Ruochen. “What about you?” she asked. “How come you haven’t gone through the first trial yet?”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and smiled. “There were some problems with my cultivation. It’s hard to solve.”

Huang Yanchen had a concerned expression. “Tell me. Maybe I can give you some suggestions.”

“You?” Smiling, Zhang Ruochen sipped the spiritual spring water.

Huang Yanchen pouted unhappily. She thought that Zhang Ruochen looked down on her, so she said, “First, you’ve been learning by yourself since you entered the Half-Saint Realm. You lack a wise teacher to give you advice.

“Second, you study many different paths. In addition to martial arts, you also cultivate your physical body, Spiritual Power, Sword Way, fist techniques, and time and space. Everyone has their limits. How can you take care of every aspect?

“You’re undefeatable in the same realm, but your cultivation process is tens or hundreds of times more difficult than the others. If you continue like this, there may be a big problem.”

Zhang Ruochen was impressed with Huang Yanchen because her every word hit him. It was true that he was a once-in-a-century talent, but he wasn’t a god. Without a teacher’s guidance, it was easy to make mistakes.

Huang Yanchen seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. Smiling, she asked, “Why are you looking at me like this? No matter what, I’m the personal disciple of Kunlun’s Field’s top figure. I have her inheritance. My knowledge of the Saint Way is above most Saints. Are you scared that your wife is a bit powerful?”

Zhang Ruochen touched his nose and smiled. He revealed the problems that he’d encountered and started discussing with Huang Yanchen.

“I see now.” Huang Yanchen smiled. There was a flirtatious look in her eyes. “You really did go the wrong way.”

“What do you mean?” Zhang Ruochen asked for advice humbly. He wanted to know the reason.

As the saying went, there was always a teacher in a group. Those who were too arrogant couldn’t succeed.

If it was someone who could help answer his questions, Zhang Ruochen would humbly ask for help even if the man was from the Huang Realm.

“If you’ve gone through the first Pre-Saint Trial, it’ll be easier to open up your apertures,” Huang Yanchen said. “It’ll be even easier after the second Pre-Saint Trial. These trials aren’t only a test for cultivators. They also exercise the body and saint soul. Cultivators can transform their bodies and create a stronger foundation for becoming a Saint.”

Huang Yanchen rolled her eyes and continued. “You haven’t even gone through the first trial and already saintified 132 apertures. This is already a dream for a cultivator of the physical body. What more do you want?”

“I see.” Zhang Ruochen was instantly overjoyed. It felt like the skies suddenly cleared. “Senior Sister Huang, I’m so impressed by you!”

“As your senior sister, is it strange that I know more than you?” Huang Yanchen lifted her chin proudly but then smiled quickly. “Since we’re cultivation partners, we should help and support each other. Before, you kept helping me and I felt useless.”

As the saying went, slow and steady won the race. Since Zhang Ruochen found the reason, he didn’t hurry to cultivate his body anymore. He prepared to go through the first Pre-Saint Trial and then try for the other apertures.

He knew that his trial would be very violent. Thus, he didn’t go through it immediately. He thought of the Space Transfer Formation from Dragontop Mountain again.

Why did Saint Monk Xumi build that in the Blue Dragon Void World? Are there more formations in the vast universe?

The more he thought, the more questions he had. He couldn’t resist his curiosity. A while later, Zhang Ruochen, Huang Yanchen, and Blackie took the Space Transfer Formation out of the scroll world. They came to the surface of this planet.

The formation was more than 200 meters wide. It shone with seven-colored light, turning the planet colorful and beautiful.

Blackie was shocked to know the secret of the formation, so it insisted shamelessly on coming.

“That old donkey Xumi actually set up a Space Transfer Formation underground in the Blue Dragon Void World,” Blackie muttered as he investigated the formation. “He must’ve hidden some huge secret. Did he hide some treasure in the stars?”

Zhang Ruochen walked to the center of the formation. Staring at the coordinates carved into it, he said, “I’m more curious where the coordinates point to. There should be another Space Transfer Formation to ensure the transportation between them.”

“Maybe it’s a secret place in Kunlun’s Field?” Blackie rushed over and reached out a paw to touch the coordinates.

“That’s not likely.” Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “I’ve already observed the general location of Kunlun’s Field. It’s very different from the coordinates carved here. It’s not even in the same mass of stars… What are you doing?”

The Space Transfer Formation started running. Every saint stone and jade shone brilliantly. Then the space around it distorted.

Zhang Ruochen looked down in surprise. He saw that Blackie had put Holy Qi into the saint stone carved with the coordinates. It had activated the formation.

Chuckling, it said, “Since you want to know the answer, let’s go see.”

Zhang Ruochen quickly composed himself. He also wanted to learn the truth of the coordinates.

Whoosh!

The formation’s lights grew brighter and brighter. The spatial waves strengthened as well. Zhang Ruochen’s body turned light and he lost feeling of gravity. He seemed to have lost all feeling too. After a long while, he finally recovered.

The formation’s light slowly faded. Zhang Ruochen regained his vision.

He looked around. His surroundings had completely changed. Earlier, they’d been standing on the surface of the small star. Now, they were on an island surrounded by a boundless golden sea.

Yes.

The seawater was golden like liquid gold.

The coordinates landed them on the skull of a corpse in the middle of the island. Clearly, this was a different formation from what Zhang Ruochen had dug out in Dragontop Mountain.

The skeleton below them was only a skull, but it was as big as the star. He couldn’t tell what creature’s skeleton it was. However, the bones were golden. It was like a skeleton made out of pure gold.

“What is this place? Are we back in Kunlun’s Field?” Huang Yanchen was very shocked.

For as far as she could see, the island had golden plants, golden dirt, golden beach, and golden water.

“This isn’t Kunlun’s Field. It should be an upper Void World,” Zhang Ruochen concluded after observing this unfamiliar world with his Heavenly Eyes.

The laws here were completely different from Kunlun’s Field. The Spiritual Qi was thinner than in Kunlun’s Field too. It was around the same level as the Blue Dragon Void World. This was why Zhang Ruochen thought it was an upper Void World.

Blackie’s eyes lolled. “Could this be the legendary Goldshine Void World?”

“Goldshine Void World.” Zhang Ruochen’s heart jumped as his eyes sparkled. “In the legends, the Goldshine Void World is very far from Kunlun’s Field. It’s deep in the stars. Very few people can reach it.”

“The Goldshine Void World where everything is gold?” Huang Yanchen asked.

Zhang Ruochen nodded. “It should be right. There aren’t many upper Void Worlds in the first place. One filled with golden Spiritual Qi must be the Goldshine Void World.”

“Then aren’t we at the edge of the stars? Can we still go back?” Huang Yanchen asked with worry.

After all, they were very far from Kunlun’s Field now. If something happened to the Space Transfer Formation, they’d never be able to return.

“The edge of the stars? I don’t think so.”

Zhang Ruochen’s gaze fell upon the center of the formation. He stared at the two-meter-tall saint stone. There were actually spatial coordinates carved into it too. These coordinates were different from the previous ones. It pointed to another place that seemed to be even further.

“Why do I feel like this is only a transfer station?” Zhang Ruochen muttered to himself.

“I feel that the Blue Dragon Void World was also a transfer station,” Blackie added. “I wonder how that old donkey Xumi came to such a faraway place? Do you think we’ll run into a world as large as Kunlun’s Field?”

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen’s heart sped up. He even stopped breathing, because he just had the same thought.

The universe was vast and boundless. Since there could be so many Void Worlds of various sizes, it didn’t sound strange to find a world as large as Kunlun’s Field.

However, everyone thought that Kunlun’s Field was the heart of the universe. It was the strongest world that ruled the millions of Void Worlds. If they really did find a Void World as large as Kunlun’s Field and news spread, it would create such a storm.

The Goldshine Void World was already at the edge of the cultivators’ knowledge of the universe. What would they encounter if they continued forward?

Zhang Ruochen contemplated investigating for more clues in Goldshine Void World. However, Blackie was impatient. It added Holy Qi into the saint stone again and activated the formation.

Whoosh—

Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen’s vision was covered in colorful light and they lost feeling again.

They had no clue where they would be taken to now.
