God Emperor

Chapter 1582: All Kinds of Rumors

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Fairy Extreme King was manic about all kinds of books and records. He even built a cave just for his books. He was exhilarated when he learned Zhang Ruochen wanted to read books as well.

“The important secret records, techniques, and saint spells are all sealed in the formation. You can read all the other books you want.”

Fairy Extreme King said this, and then left, as he had some important affairs to attend to. He left Swallow in the cave with Zhang Ruochen.

Book Garden Cave was as large as the Swallow Palace Cave where Zhang Ruochen lived. It had a diameter of a hundred miles, and there were hundreds of palaces and pavilions around the cave with tens of thousands of books.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want others to know what books he read, so he asked Swallow to wait for him outside the cave.

“Ten Thousand Fields Book Room.”

Zhang Ruochen looked at the plaque of an ancient palace. He walked into the palace where he saw all the books and smelled the fragrance.

There were sandalwood signs that were all one foot long with the names of all the large fields on them.

“Western Buddha Field.”

“Heaven Field.”

“Soul Field.”

“Ruiya Field.”

“Guanghan Field.”

...

It didn’t only have the eight thousand secular fields in Heaven World, but also have the large fields that had fallen. They all had their respective bookshelves storing records of those fields.

“No.”

Zhang Ruochen was dazed and recalled Fairy Extreme King’s strange behavior in Saint Martial Field.

Obviously, Fairy Extreme King was trying to figure out where Zhang Ruochen’s valuables came from, and he was experienced enough to tell.

Once he figured out where the valuables came from, it was only a matter of time before he knew who Zhang Ruochen was.

Zhang Ruochen suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, and there was a great sense of danger.

He had underestimated those creatures who’d lived for more than a thousand years. They’d lived for so long that their experience was far superior to his. They were able to tell where the objects were from with just one look.

“If they really wanted to harm me, they would’ve done it already. Thousand Pistil Field isn’t part of the sinister power I reckon.”

Zhang Ruochen tried to calm himself down with his eyes twitching. He thought, As long as Thousand Pistil Field isn’t a part of the sinister power, they won’t try to harm me easily. I’m ranked first place on the ‘Saints Merits Rank.’ If something happens to me, Gods will get involved.

After calming himself down, Zhang Ruochen released his mind power, turning it into thousands of mind power tentacles, searching for books that were related to ‘Time Long River’ and ‘Time and Space Agate.’

After a short while, Zhang Ruochen found the books he wanted on a shelf storing books about time and space.

These books weren’t treasured books to practice time and space techniques, but instead, they documented some secrets about time and space.

Zhang Ruochen’s mind power was strong enough for him to read and memorize the entire book instantly.

“Time Long River is a legendary river. If I go downstream, I can get to the future, and if I go upstream, I can go back to the past.

“I can only see Time Long River after passing the Door of Time. Nobody knows where the Door of Time is. Some people speculate it’s in Time Godly Palace because the water from Time Long River can be purchased in the saint shops set up in Time Godly Palace.”

Zhang Ruochen was thrilled to find that Time Long River actually existed, and he could go to both the past and the future through the river. It had been unimaginable for him before!

However, everything about Time Long River was only the writer’s assumptions.

It was written in the book that no monks had ever seen Time Long River themselves, so everything was just a rumor. Nobody could confirm the water sold in Time Godly Palace was actually from Time Long River.

However, Zhang Ruochen couldn’t be more excited when he read about Time and Space Agate.

It was said that Time and Space Agate came from an ancient place in the universe, called ‘Ocean Stone Star Fortress.’ It was so mysterious and hazardous that a God who mastered time died there.

It was also the fault zone of time and space, rumored to be the origin of the universe.

Aside from Time and Space Agate, Time and Space Crystal could only be found in Ocean Stone Star Fortress. Large groups of creatures went there to search for valuables every year, and any ore of time and space type was a great fortune.

“I must go to Ocean Stone Star Fortress if I have time.”

As a time monk, Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help looking forward to that mysterious universe ancient land.

In the next three days, Zhang Ruochen binge-read all the books in the cave, educating himself about Heaven World and all the secular fields under it. He read thousands of books everyday.

Zhang Ruochen had meant to find some books about ‘Mystery of Truth.’ Unfortunately, he couldn’t find anything.

“I’ll go look for some books from a hundred thousand years ago. Perhaps I can find out why Kunlun’s Field endured such a calamity, and about the sinister power Moon Goddess mentioned.”

Zhang Ruochen released his mind power tentacles again to search for relevant books, yet after half an hour, he still couldn’t find anything.

There were many books about Kunlun’s Field, yet none of them had information about what happened to Kunlun’s Field a hundred thousand years ago.

It seemed Fairy Extreme King didn’t collect the real important books, or that they were all sealed in the formation so that ordinary monks couldn’t read them.

Zhang Ruochen walked to a shelf with ‘Kunlun’s Field’ on, picking out a book.

The book recorded some of the supreme beings from Kunlun’s Field who had died a hundred thousand years ago. All of them were famed in Heaven World.

“Saint Monk Xumi, Dragon Lord Jiwang, Demise God Island Leader, Blue Sky Hollow City, Ten Calamity Heavenly Lord...”

Those supreme beings must have all been extraordinary as they were named side by side with Saint Monk Xumi. Even if they might not have been in Saint Monk Xumi’s class, they wouldn’t be much weaker.

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t be more curious, as they all used to be giants in Kunlun’s Field, yet he’d never heard of their names and stories as someone who was born and raised in Kunlun’s Field.

Was it because he wasn’t well-informed enough? Or because some mysterious power concealed all the information about these giants, writing them out of the history books...

Just as Zhang Ruochen was pondering the reasons, he saw someone staring at him, standing across from him. ????????n????e????????. ????????ｍ

Although Zhang Ruochen was pondering the books, he still spared a part of his mind power. Ordinary monks wouldn’t have been able to get close to him without him realizing it.

That person’s mind power must have been superior to his.

Zhang Ruochen was indeed shocked, but he was all the more so when he saw that pair of eyes. It was a pair of beautiful eyes whose pupils were so transparent that they were like two godly ponds. Their eyelashes were long and curved. They looked tame from the surface, yet he could feel them being seductive.

Even Zhang Ruochen, whose mind power had reached level fifty-five, was dazed for a second.

When he fully regained his concentration, that pair of eyes had disappeared. Zhang Ruochen walked around the bookshelf, trying to chase her, yet he didn’t see anyone.

“Was that a ghost? Even a Ghost King isn’t as fast as I am.”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. He sniffed the bookshelf, and he smelled a mesmerizing flower fragrance. The fragrance was very special, as he couldn’t tell which kind of flower it was, as if it was a blend of a hundred kinds of flower fragrances.

“The person is gone, yet the fragrance is still here.”

He was sure that it wasn’t an illusion. Someone had indeed been reading across from him without alerting him.

Zhang Ruochen looked where the person had stood, and he took a book from the shelf, sniffed and thought, The smell on this book is thicker than that on others. This must be the book she just read.

Zhang Ruochen was then dazed by the cover of that book.

There were three words on the cover: ‘Divine Sky-Connecting Tree.’

He opened the book as he was very curious.

“Divine Sky-Connecting Tree was born with Kunlun’s Field. It’s the creature that’s reached the top in the Way of Life, and it’s also the longest-living creature in history.”

Zhang Ruochen held his breath while reading the first line. He immediately skimmed through the book.

At the end of the book, Zhang Ruochen read another piece of important information. “Immortal Bird refines with Divine Sky-Connecting Tree, and it created ‘Nine-Circle Life-Death Code.’ It can reincarnate and be truly immortal.”

Zhang Ruochen closed the book immediately, and he recalled ‘Blackie,’ as it called itself an Immortal Bird.

“Blackie is a disciple of Divine Sky-Connecting Tree? Not likely. How could someone like Blackie create a supreme technique? Perhaps that Immortal Bird taught by Divine Sky-Connecting Tree was Blackie’s ancestor.”

But then, Zhang Ruochen had another question. “If ‘Nine-Circle Life-Death Code’ was created by the Immortal Bird, why would it show up in the royal palace of Sacred Central Empire?

“Why does Blackie always pretend not to know anything about me giving it to Le? If it really is an Immortal Bird, there’s no way it doesn’t know about ‘Nine-Circle Life-Death Code.’”

Zhang Ruochen felt that he couldn’t believe anything Blackie said, and it definitely hid a lot from him.

After leaving Book Garden Cave, Zhang Ruochen’s state of mind was in chaos. He sometimes thought about the secrets hidden in Kunlun’s Field, and sometimes pondered whether he should go buy a Time and Space Agate and the water from Time Long River or not. And sometimes, that pair of hypnotizing eyes showed up in his mind.

After a long time, Zhang Ruochen cleared his mind and thought, I’ll ask Blackie when it comes to Truth Heavenly Domain. I need to go purchase a Time and Space Agate and water from Time Long River to improve my power first.

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help guffawing and facing the sky, after which he left Hundred Flower Palace.

Whoosh!

One of the seven senior great beings from Hundred Flower Palace showed up in front of Hundred Flower Palace like a ghost. He looked at Zhang Ruochen leaving and mumbled, “Where’s that boy going? I’ll follow him to confirm his identity. Shang Ziyan set a huge price for you. Hopefully, you’re Zhang Ruochen.”
