Chapter 1647: God-Naming Platform, Outer South Yard

The Power of Pluto Ice that Mu Lingxi had struck out turned into thousands of strands . Like rain falling from the sky, they tied up the saint projection, making its body stiff and its movements slow .

A slender hand held the phoenix feathers and dragged out a long trail of cold light . She swept it across and cut the projection’s waist .

After accepting the invitation from the old man, Mu Lingxi immediately spread her wings and flew out of the platform to meet with Zhang Ruochen .

“See?” she said a bit proudly, lifting her snowy chin . “A mere saint projection isn’t my match . ”

Zhang Ruochen nodded and smiled . “Indeed, not bad . ”

“He smashed the projection with one punch,” Zhang Ruochen said . “He went to the God-Naming Platform long ago . ”

Earlier, she’d fought with the saint projection, so she knew how strong it was . She couldn’t even imagine defeating it with one punch .

“How can there be so many shocking figures in Heaven World?” Mu Lingxi felt unconfident .

Zhang Ruochen chuckled . “If Heaven World didn’t have so many shocking figures, it probably would have been defeated by Hell World long ago . Plus, you’re already great . You don’t have to compare yourself to them . If you have to, I’ll do it for you . ”

Mu Lingxi’s eyes twitched . “Oh, you’re a shocking figure too . How many strikes do you intend to defeat the projection with?”

“How many do you think I should use?” Zhang Ruochen asked .

Zhang Ruochen flashed and disappeared from the spot . He reappeared on the platform that Mu Lingxi had fought the projection on .

With his hands behind his back and a smile, he looked around . All of the cultivators that had been preparing to enter the platform were stunned .

“What’s going on? How did that human scholar get onto the platform?”

“Does he know an invisibility spell?”

“No, it might be spatial power . There must be a cultivator amongst us who’s skilled in the spatial way and can instantly send beings onto the platform . ”

Zhang Ruochen gazed up and looked at the old man hovering in the air . “Should I challenge a saint projection?”

“You are at the pinnacle of the first step Saint King Realm . Your projection will be in the same realm . ”

The old man flipped open his scroll and tapped his finger on a page . Then a speck of light flew out of the paper and landed on the platform .

The speck of light transformed into a general at the pinnacle of the first step Saint King Realm . He held a spear and looked very powerful .

“Pinnacle of the first step?” Zhang Ruochen was a bit disappointed .

He’d thought that he had reached the second step already .

The old man was very advanced and probably wouldn’t misjudge .

I must continue working hard . Zhang Ruochen sighed inwardly .

The projection was made out of Holy Qi and Rules of Saintly Way . His spear was like a sharp dragon . It transformed into a beam of light and stabbed straight at Zhang Ruochen’s forehead .

“Even though it’s a projection, it’s still very strong . It’s like a second step Saint King . ” Zhang Ruochen was surprised .

What was shocking was that the old man had just flipped through the saint spirit scroll and could create such a strong projection . This was even more powerful than turning beans into soldiers .

Holding that scroll was like holding countless Saint Kings . One could easily destroy an ancient sect .

He couldn’t think about it too closely . If he did, it was enough to give him goosebumps .

With step techniques, Zhang Ruochen let the projection take two hits .

When it was about to attack a third time, Zhang Ruochen took a step beforehand and condensed the Sword Way Xuangang . He pointed his sword forward and stabbed through the projection’s skull, winning easily .

After receiving the invitation, Zhang Ruochen put his hands together and bowed to the old man . Then he flew down the podium and landed beside Mu Lingxi .

Mu Lingxi bit her lips, asking, “You could defeat him in one move . Why did you have to use three?”

“Because you told me to use three . ” Zhang Ruochen smiled .

She knew that Zhang Ruochen said this on purpose, but Mu Lingxi still felt warm inside . Shyness appeared on her face . Thankfully, she had a veil on and it covered her blush . “Oh, you . You’re getting better at capturing a girl’s heart . ”

“Let’s go . We should hurry to the God-Naming Platform too . I heard there are many treasures there . We’ll get more if we go earlier . ”

Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi charged through the gates . It was like going through a curtain of water . An ancient aura immediately hit their faces . It felt like crossing over the river of time, going from the present to the past .

There was a majestic divine mountain hovering before their eyes . It was pyramid-shaped . Compared to this, God-Gazing Mountain looked like it was just a small hill .

Some parts of the mountain had bloody light shooting into the sky and some parts were pitch black . Some places bathed under sunlight and were filled life; other places were dead like hell .

This was the God-Naming Platform .

There were four paths before them, leading to four directions on the mountain .

Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi chose a path and walked forward quickly . They walked through mist . It was white all around them . They couldn’t see anything other than the stone bridge underfoot .

Gradually, the mist scattered and countless ancient trees appeared before them . They had black bark and green leaves . The trunks were thick enough that you needed a dozen people holding hands to wrap around it . The leaves shone with green light .

Mu Lingxi’s eyes sparkled . “These ancient trees have probably grown for tens of thousands of years . They’re treasures for refining weapons . The leaves may be useful for pills too . ”

“They’re definitely extremely great trees for those under the Saint Realm,” Zhang Ruochen said . “But they’re not valuable to us . Look, they’re all over and no one cares about them . ”

Mu Lingxi took a few more steps forward and the line of sight grew clearer . As expected, these trees spewing Holy Qi grew everywhere on the mountain . Those that she’d seen before seemed so common .

Other people’s voices sounded before them .

Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi hurried over . Gradually, a mass of majestic yet dilapidated buildings appeared before their eyes .

A hundred-foot-tall green stone door stood under a tree . There was a golden sign above the gate with three words: Outer South Yard .

Behind the stone door, there was a broken wall that he couldn’t see the end of .

The broken wall, ground covered in broken tiles, rusted tripods, collapsed pavilions… Even though it was a pile of rubble, it still shone with a saintly glow .

The broken wall was made out of spiritual jade .

The tiles were made from saint clay .

The rusted tripod was the remnant of an ancient saint weapon . However, the weapon spirit had died and the spirituality leaked out, so it turned into scrap metal .

Nothing here looked ordinary .

One could imagine that, at its peak, this place must have been a cultivation paradise with many strong cultivators living here .

Mu Lingxi lowered her delicate frame and dragged her finger through the dirt . Purple specks of light emerged in the dirt . Her eyes instantly became pleasantly surprised . “The soil actually contains faint divinity . This must be where a god used to live . ”

“I’m afraid it’s not that simple,” Zhang Ruochen mused .

When they continued, they finally met other people .

These people were gathered around a saint pool . There were at least 20 people—all strong figures with invitations . They were top figures from their worlds .

The pool was around 170 meters long .

There was a white saint tree in the center of the pool . Its bark, branches and leaves were all milky white as if carved out of jade .

The tree had more than 40 saint fruits . Each fruit was like a moon, shining with ivory light . The fragrance from the fruits filled the air within hundreds of feet . Taking a breath could make you feel refreshed .

Zhang Ruochen’s face had a pleasantly surprised expression . “Heartmoon Saint Fruit . ”

“No way! The fruit on this tree really is the legendary Heartmoon Saint Fruit?” Mu Lingxi widened her eyes . Her lashes all stood up straight .

The cultivators around the pool heard Zhang Ruochen’s surprised cry and turned around to look at him .

Amongst them, a short and thin man with eight spidery arms walked toward Zhang Ruochen . Chuckling, he said, “Brother, you have great eyes . You recognized the Heartmoon Saint Fruit at once . ”

He glanced at Mu Lingxi and shock flashed past his eyes .

But he quickly looked away and his eyes grew composed . He was clearly a very steady person and wasn’t easily tempted by beauty .

“I heard that the Heartmoon Saint Tree is very rare,” Mu Lingxi said . “It’s only planted where a Supreme Saint cultivates . It absorbs the Supreme Saint’s exhales to grow normally and bear fruit .

“If you eat a Heartmoon Saint Fruit, a Saint can immediately raise to the next level or even help a Saint King .

“How can one tree have more than 40 of these extremely precious fruits?”

The eight-armed spider king chuckled . “It’s not only around 40 fruits . Earlier, it had a total of 138 fruits, but most of them were picked away by the monstrously strong people . ”

“It could produce 138 fruits?” Zhang Ruochen was shocked too .

After all, the ancient records stated that one Heartmoon Saint Tree could only produce one fruit .

The eight-armed spider king said, “The God-Naming Platform isn’t an ordinary place . It’s not just the Heartmoon Saint Fruit . Even the more precious Ghost King Fruit can have a dozen on one tree . ”

“The God-Naming Platform has a Ghost King Fruit Tree?” Zhang Ruochen was extremely shaken .

When the eight-armed spider king first arrived at the God-Naming Platform, he’d been even more shocked than Zhang Ruochen . But after seeing a dozen of the legendary saint fruit trees in a row, he’d gradually calmed down .

In the distance, a young girl with snowy-white skin glanced at Zhang Ruochen and scoffed . “Only the powerful figures can pick the Heartmoon Saint Fruits and Ghost King Fruits . Those who aren’t enough can only watch . ”

“Is it really hard to pick?”

Zhang Ruochen walked toward the saint pool . Staring at the white tree, he inhaled the fragrance emanating from the fruits and instantly, his limbs felt refreshed .

The young girl could tell that Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi had just entered the God-Naming Platform . They evidently hadn’t been invited by the Truth Godly Palace and had entered through the qualification test .

Thus, she kind of looked down on Zhang Ruochen . “So many of us here have failed, so you ask if it is hard or not? I advise against trying, or else you might fall into the pool and turn into an ice statue from the Yin Pluto Ice . ”
