God Emperor

Chapter 1632: Priest Wooden Scepter

Su Jing was sitting in a palace, receiving a saint king coming from Guanghan Field.

He moved his mind and noticed something strange in the Moon Goddess’s dojo. He smiled, “It seems our priest’s mind power has reached level fifty-six. You came here at the right time, Brother Wu Han.”

The sixty-four mind power dividing selves of Zhang Ruochen didn’t leave the Moon Goddess’s dojo. Heavenly Saint Market wasn’t like other places, as there were too many great beings with great mind power who could see his mind power dividing selves.

If someone destroyed one of his mind power dividing selves, Zhang Ruochen’s mind power would tumble.

Mind power dividing selves were largely helpful as they could do a lot of things for the original body, however, he couldn’t use them at any time.

It took Zhang Ruochen some time to take back all the sixty-four mind power dividing selves, and he gathered back his mind power.

“It seems Uncle Jing is asking me for something important.”

And one of his mind power dividing selves sent that message to Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen put away the third Six Desires Ancient Pill and walked out of the inner space of the Time and Space Crystal, walking toward the Weapon-Refining Pavilion that looked like a palace.

Su Jing and Mu Lingxi were already sitting inside.

Aside from them, there was a slender old man in hemp clothes.

Although the slender old man looked feeble, Zhang Ruochen could feel the enormous power in that person’s body with his mind power. It was as if there was an ancient ocean inside his body, and any wave could be catastrophic.

Mu Lingxin blinked at Zhang Ruochen and transmitted her voice to him. “Be careful. That old man is a great being from Wu’s family. He might be here to do us harm.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled at Mu Lingxi and sat beside her.

The old man in hemp clothes looked solemn after Zhang Ruochen walked into the palace and said, “You’re indeed talented, priest, but you need to show some respect for the elders.”

Zhang Ruochen was a bit dumbfounded. “Where did that come from?”

“Both King Jing and I are top-tier saint kings from Guanghan Field who’ve been alive for more than a thousand years. We are your elders. All you did after you came in was share eye contact with the Goddess. Do you even respect us? I’ve heard in Shatuo Heavenly Domain that you’re young and proud. That reputation is indeed true,” said the elder in hemp clothes.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t pissed at all. Instead, he found it amusing and said, “Is that disrespecting elders? Haha.”

“What are you laughing at?”

The elder in hemp clothes looked pissed.

Zhang Ruochen argued back, “I’m laughing at the fact that you are making trouble out of nowhere. First of all, we’re both saint kings. You can be crowned as a king, then I can as well. You’re not that much nobler than me.

“If you were really worth respecting, I would definitely do that since you’re older than me.

“However, all you did was play the age card, and you scolded me the second I arrived. Do you really think I’m a junior from your family?”

The eyes of the elder in hemp clothes popped, and cold forces gushed out.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Besides, I’m the Moon Goddess’s priest, so I probably have a higher status in Guanghan Field than you. Shouldn’t you bow to me and call me Lord Priest?”

“How dare you... How dare you disrespect me like this?”

The elder in hemp clothes was furious, and his saint might gushed out, making a rumbling sound in the palace.

Su Jing immediately showed up between the two of them and said, “Both of you are saint kings from Guanghan Field. If you have conflicts because of a minor issue like this, you will be a joke.”

“Minor issue?”

The elder in hemp clothes growled, “Do you think Zhang Ruochen’s killing Wu Hao, my family’s greatest talent, is a minor issue?

“Wu Hao was the heir of Guanghan Field. Even supreme saints couldn’t kill him like that, yet Zhang Ruochen killed him with that demonic woman from Kunlun’s Field.

“Even if Wu Hao had committed a crime, it should be up to our family to deal with him. Besides, we still don’t know whether he actually did something wrong or not.

“Perhaps someone was jealous of his status as an heir and killed him.”

It was indeed because of Wu Hao.

Zhang Ruochen sighed.

Even Su Jing snorted this time. “Brother Wu Hao, what do you mean? I was the one who reported this to Supreme Saint Nine Spirits, Emperor Jimie and Wu Zu. How could that be false? Are you suspecting me also?”

The elder in hemp clothes took a look at Su Jing, snorted and sat back in his chair.

Su Jing didn’t want any internal conflict, so he immediately calmed himself down and transmitted his voice to Zhang Ruochen. “King Wu Han is Wu Hao’s grandpa’s brother, so he was very close with Wu Hao. Wu Hao is the best talent from the Wu family in a thousand years, and the entire Wu family valued him a lot, so King Wu Hao is kind of resentful, as Wu Hao died because of you.

“Actually, King Wu Han is a hero who hates the evil guts. If he’d found out Wu Hao conspired with Shang Ziyan against us, he might’ve killed Wu Hao himself.

“Zhang Ruochen, as a young person, please be a bit more understanding of King Wu Han. He’ll know right from wrong when he calms down.”

Zhang Ruochen forced a smiled and transmitted his voice back. “Now that you’ve said so, Uncle Jing, I’ll be nice to him for your sake. However, if King Wu Han keeps being so rude and difficult on purpose, I’ll definitely fight back.”

Su Jing nodded contently, laughed, and said, “You were both kind of emotional just now. Priest, Goddess, let me introduce you. This is King Wu Han, one of the top-tier great beings under supreme saints, and he’ll live in Truth Godly Domain with me to guard Jingxiang Cliff Dojo and the Moon Goddess’s dojo.”

Su Jing then said, “King Wu Han came here to bear a gift from the Moon Goddess to the priest.”

King Wu Han was still solemn, and he took out a bent wooden scepter from his storage bag.

He didn’t give it to Zhang Ruochen. Instead, he handed it to Su Jing.

Zhang Ruochen was looking forward to the valuable gift given by the Moon Goddess, and he stared at that wooden scepter.

Su Jing held the wooden scepter, looking envious, and said, “This is a branch of Tree God, and the Moon Goddess made the wooden scepter using that branch. Zhang Ruochen, you’re the real priest of the Moon Goddess from now on.

“In Heaven World, only supreme saints are qualified to be a God’s priest, and you’re the only exception. Come thank the Moon Goddess.”

Zhang Ruochen stood up and bowed at the statue of the Moon Goddess outside the palace and grabbed the Priest Wooden Scepter.

Unlike what Zhang Ruochen’d expected, the Priest Wooden Scepter didn’t feel different from a branch of an ordinary tree.

Zhang Ruochen infused his saint Qi into the Priest Wooden Scepter, yet nothing happened.

“Is this... The supposedly immensely powerful Priest Wooden Scepter?”

Zhang Ruochen was a bit disappointed.

Su Jing smiled. “Gods can’t interfere with the issues in Truth Heavenly Domain, so you can’t wield the Priest Wooden Scepter’s power here, however, if you’re attacked by a supreme saint in Truth Heavenly Domain, the supreme saint’s power will activate the Priest Wooden Scepter, giving you a part of the Moon Goddess’s godly power.”

Zhang Ruochen looked pleased. “How strong is that godly power?”

“Enough for you to survive the attacks of a supreme saint,” said Su Jing.

Zhang Ruochen asked again, “What if I leave Truth Heavenly Domain? How powerful can the Priest Wooden Scepter be?”

Su Jing thought for a bit, shook his head and said, “Gods are the ones who decide how much power their priests can borrow. However, even the priests who Gods trust the most can only borrow ten percent of their godly power, nothing more.”

Even if he could only borrow one one-thousandth of the Moon Goddess’s godly power, he could easily crush all the creatures under supreme saints.

This Priest Wooden Scepter was indeed invaluable.

“I’ve been helping her the whole time. She finally got generous once.” Zhang Ruochen held the Priest Wooden Scepter in his hand like a treasure.

King Wu Han snorted. “Even if you are the priest, you can’t borrow her godly power at any time. If you do, the Moon Goddess will definitely take back that Priest Wooden Scepter and rescind your status.”

“Of course, I know. Besides, I can’t even use this Priest Wooden Scepter in Truth Heavenly Domain,” Zhang Ruochen said. But then, he felt a great sense of danger.

“Why did the Moon Goddess give me the Priest Wooden Scepter now? Has what I did in Truth Heavenly Domain drawn attention from some supreme saints? Is a supreme saint coming to kill me?”

Zhang Ruochen immediately stopped being happy, and his hands and feet went cold.

Su Jing smiled and said, “Actually, there’re also many ways to use the Priest Wooden Scepter. For example, you can communicate with the Moon Goddess’s godly mind using the wooden scepter if you run into something major, which is something lots of supreme saints in Guanghan Field want to achieve.”

Zhang Ruochen was the hotshot person to the Moon Goddess, and when he held the Priest Wooden Scepter, it would be like the Moon Goddess arriving herself. All the creatures from Guanghan Field needed to greet him, except supreme saints.

However, as the priest of the Moon Goddess, he had the same status as the supreme saints from Guanghan Field.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t a petty person, so he didn’t use the Priest Wooded Scepter to suppress King Wu Han, saving him some face.

King Wu Han tried not to look at Zhang Ruochen and also stopped being so dominant.

He took out a white jade ancient mirror and handed it to Mu Lingxi. “Goddess, this is the Comprehension Mirror the Moon Goddess asked me to bring you.

“The Moon Goddess can’t teach you herself, as you’re in Truth Heavenly Domain, but Comprehension Mirror has amazing godly power. It can not only teach you, but also explain some of the questions you have.”

“Thank you, King Wu Han.” Mu Lingxi took the Comprehension Mirror.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t go back to the Time and Space Crystal after leaving the palace. Instead, he divided his mind power into two parts, one of which guarded the original body.

The other part of his mind power formed a mind power dividing self with mind power at level fifty-five, following Su Jing to visit the monks who sent him invitations. Zhang Ruochen certainly wanted to make some friends if he could, and his mind power dividing self was enough to build time and space formations for their dojos.

As for Zhang Ruochen’s original body, he followed Mu Lingxi to Blackie to see how it was controlling the Trifoot Carnivorous Insects.

Zhang Ruochen had a plan, which needed the power of the Trifoot Carnivorous Insects to fulfill.
