For several days, no monk came to block the way again.
Extraordinarily calm.
Zhang Ruochen knew that the more this happened, the more it meant that there was a huge storm hidden behind it. It was very likely that the Temple of Destiny had already laid a dragnet in the Aoyun asteroid belt.
If it were him, he would definitely not continue moving forward with such a high profile, but would change direction, return to Ice King, and leave from Ice King.
No one knows how terrifying the background of the Temple of Destiny is.
If the Temple of Destiny wants to kill someone, even if that person is really invincible under the divine realm, it will be difficult to escape death.
Bai Qing'er was obviously injured, but she still had no hesitation and headed towards the Aoyun asteroid belt, which was tantamount to declaring war on the Temple of Destiny and all the major forces in the hell world on her own.
She wants to make up for the shortcomings of the ten thousand deaths and reach the heights of Xue Jue and Huang Tian. This is the only way to go.
You can only advance, not retreat.
Zhang Ruochen stepped into the "Xingshu Palace", one of the seven palaces, and saw that Bai Qing'er did not practice or heal her injuries. Instead, she used a bamboo knife to turn over the soil for six pots of orchids.
Six pots of orchids are planted in purple sand pots. They are carefully cared for and the flowers bloom brightly.
However, Zhang Ruochen knew that they used the holy souls of holy monks as food and needed to be watered by the blood of great saints and gods. They were six extremely evil plants.
If they launch an attack, they are likely to be more terrifying than Shang Yue and Shang Xia.
Bai Qing'er said: "I heard that you raised a Sacred Food Flower?"
Zhang Ruochen stood five steps behind her and stopped, saying: "My Sacred Food Flower is not as good as your six strange species that have lived for more than one Yuanhui, but it is still well maintained."
"Do you know how to grow flowers?" Bai Qinger asked.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and shook his head.
Just kidding, he raised holy flowers solely to enhance his own fighting power. How could he really have the leisure and relaxation of raising flowers?
The Sacred Food Flower is also an evil and vicious plant, but its viciousness is tightly controlled by Zhang Ruochen, making it unable to do evil and harm innocent creatures.
Bai Qing'er said to herself: "It's good to raise flowers. It's best not to develop a physical body. Flowers are the purest when they are still flowers. You can talk to them about anything, and they will always listen silently.
I will ask more questions, I will not laugh at you, I will not contradict you, I will not betray you, I will not abandon you."
"What's the difference between this and talking to oneself?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Bai Qing'er turned around and said, "Look, you're just refuting me!"
"Why can't you accept other people's refutations calmly? A person who is arbitrary and arbitrary, no matter how powerful he is, will never be happy." Zhang Ruochen said.
Bai Qinger said: "Are you happy?"
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen was speechless.
"The world is a sea of suffering, and no one can be truly happy. The more unwilling a person is to be ordinary, the more painful he will be. Rather than saying that cultivation is for immortality, it is better to say that it is to cross the sea of suffering and find the place of bliss that may exist on the other side.
"Bai Qinger said.
Zhang Ruochen found that Bai Qing'er was very different from usual today. She was very relaxed and quiet, without a trace of aggression, and was so gentle that people couldn't help but feel admiration for her.
Just like the warm wind in winter and the coolness in summer.
No wonder Gong Nanfeng said that no man in the world can reject the White Queen.
As the daughter of Queen Bai, Bai Qing'er seems to have inherited her mother's unique temperament and charm.
It is a very scary thing for a woman who is prolific in murdering people, insidious and decisive, to be able to completely restrain her anger.
Zhang Ruochen said: "I'm not here to discuss Taoism with you. Where is the teacher? I want to see him."
"Why should I let you see him?"
Bai Qing'er was very indifferent and continued to dig up the orchid's soil.
"Both Shang Xia and Shang Yue are in my hands. They are both great sages who will never die. Wouldn't it be too much to change them to a spiritual sage king?" Zhang Ruochen said.
Bai Qing'er said: "You made a mistake in calculating this account!"
"Is there any?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Bai Qing'er said: "First of all, Teacher Shangguan is no longer a holy king, but a great spiritual sage."
"Secondly, if I want to take back Shang Xia and Shang Yue from you, you have no power to resist. With our current distance, it will be useless even if the Golden White Tiger is buried to help you."
"Third, I have never asked you to let Shang Yue and Shang Xia go. I was just waiting for you to take the initiative to exchange hostages with me. Since you took the initiative, it shows that Teacher Shangguan is far more important to you than Shang Xia and Shang Xia.
Shang Yue is very important to me. Therefore, you have to pay more price before I can let him go."
…
"You call him teacher, so you should respect him."
Zhang Ruochen had already guessed that Bai Qing'er's Confucianism and Taoism attainments were mostly due to Professor Shangguan Que.
There is a saying in Confucianism and Taoism, "There is no distinction between teaching and learning."
A true Confucian will not refuse to teach Confucianism just because the other person is rich or poor, wise or foolish, good or evil, or whether he is a ghost or a beast.
Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart.
All living beings have a good nature.
Bai Qing'er said: "How do you see that I don't respect my teacher and respect my teachings? Besides, you call me a witch, why should I respect my teachers and respect my teachings? Isn't it okay to deviate from the teachings?"
Zhang Ruochen had long known that Bai Qing'er's words were sharp, so he stopped arguing with her and said, "What price do you want me to pay?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, why don't you agree to do something for me?" Bai Qing'er said.
Zhang Ruochen asked: "What's the matter?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I will tell you when I think about it," Bai Qing'er said.
Zhang Ruochen decisively refused and said: "No."
"Then there's no need to talk about it! Shang Yue and Shang Xia are both very beautiful women. You can deal with them as you wish, just don't kill them." Bai Qing'er said.
Zhang Ruochen knew how difficult it was to train two great sages who would never die. It was not comparable to the great sage slaves she controlled through dreams.
I never thought that Bai Qing'er would abandon her like nothing.
or……
Is she pretending?
Bai Qing'er seemed to have seen through Zhang Ruochen's thoughts and said: "The raised girl will fly away sooner or later if her wings become stiff. Shang Xia's heart is no longer with me, she has already fallen in love with the man. As for Shang Yue...
Her character is a bit worse. Since she was captured by you, she probably can't fight you and has already surrendered to you, right?"
"Teacher Shangguan said that the most difficult thing in the world is not fighting with others, but educating others."
"I agree with this."
"Gods are killed sometimes, but it is more difficult to carve out a person's character, or to influence the character of the world, than to kill a god. There is no answer to what is good, what is evil, what is right, what is wrong
of."
"It's good to have them by your side! Zhang Ruochen, I understand a lot about you. Your heart is softer than mine, so you should be kind to them."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Today, you talked too much."
"Because there are too few people who are qualified to stand in front of me and talk to me! There are some things in my heart that I really want to tell people, but no one is qualified to listen. In the end, I can only tell them." Bai Qing'er
Looking at six pots of orchids.
Obviously, Bai Qing'er has recognized Zhang Ruochen's strength and no longer despises him as before.
Strength here not only refers to cultivation and talent, but also includes character, spirit and wisdom.
Zhang Ruochen said: "But why do I feel like you are giving your last words?"
"The road to the Origin Temple is a dead end, and I must go through the dead end to survive. Who can see the future clearly, what if I can't survive?"
A hint of sadness appeared in Bai Qing'er's breathtakingly beautiful eyes, and then quickly disappeared.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Aren't you always very confident?"
"Only the less confident people are, the more confident they will be. To tell you the truth, I don't have the slightest confidence in reaching the heights of Xue Jue and Huang Tian." Bai Qing'er said.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes were quite strange. He didn't expect Bai Qing'er to say such a thing?
Is this the real her?
Sure enough, only by in-depth contact can you understand a person, otherwise, what you see is likely to be just the surface.
"Creating this chaotic situation is like dancing on the edge of a knife. If you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces. However, I must have confidence, and I must keep telling myself that I must be confident. Man can conquer nature, right? I don't want to die more than death.
Be a submissive mediocre person. Compared with being controlled by others, I would rather control their life and death. Even if the person standing in front of me is a god, I must move forward and never retreat."
Gradually, the gloom and decadence on Bai Qing'er disappeared, and instead her aura continued to rise, like a rusty sword piercing the sky. She said in a cold voice: "Since you are already here, please come in!"
The sound spread out of the Seven-Star Emperor Palace and spread into the vast universe.
Bai Qing'er walked out of Xingshu Palace and went to the main hall of Qixing Emperor Palace.
Zhang Ruochen's heart of truth also responded, his eyes showed a complex light, and he quickly followed out.
"Brother Ruochen, what happened? The army of the Temple of Destiny is coming?" Gong Nanfeng asked happily.
Zhang Ruochen didn't want to pay attention to him, but thought of something, he quickly grabbed him and said with concern: "It's not the army of the Temple of Destiny, but the people who come here are not trivial. Once a battle breaks out, the aftermath of the battle will kill you without a trace.
place."
"What should we do?" Gong Nanfeng was horrified.
"Don't panic, I have everything."
Zhang Ruochen took out the purple gold gourd and said: "This is a sacred artifact. You enter it first, and I will protect you."
"Okay! Brother Ruochen is so righteous as expected. I, Gong Nanfeng, will never be able to repay your kindness in this life!" Gong Nanfeng's eyes were red and he was almost moved to tears.
After putting Gong Nanfeng into the purple gourd, Zhang Ruochen came to the main hall.
I saw Fei Zhong lifting his battle ax and standing on the right side of Bai Qing'er, looking directly in the direction of the palace gate with bright eyes.
Outside the palace gate, it was dark, deep, and endless void.
"Dang!"
A vibrating sound sounded, and the Seven-Star Imperial Palace shook.
"Dang!"
"Dang!"
…
The Seven-Star Imperial Palace kept shaking, and the sound became clearer and louder.
Outside the palace gate, an old figure wielded a wooden staff, walked up the stairs, and staggered towards the main hall. She was dressed in red and had a stooped figure.
Every time the wooden staff touches the ground, a circle of space ripples will appear, causing the temple to shake.
Zhang Ruochen called softly: "Mother-in-law."
The person who came was none other than Granny Haitang.
She is a seven-color begonia and the guardian of the sword pavilion.
At the beginning, Zhang Ruochen entered the Sword Pavilion to learn swordsmanship and studied the "Wordless Sword Manual". Grandma Haitang once taught him the Nine Days and Nine Nights, and she was a very important guide on Zhang Ruochen's cultivation path.
In the main hall, the fragrance of flowers is flying, forming shadows of petals.
Granny Haitang smiled at Zhang Ruochen with her kind, wrinkled old face.
Bai Qing'er saw how extraordinary Grandma Haitang was and said, "With just one of your crabapples, how dare you break into the Seven Stars Imperial Palace?"
"This Seven-Star Imperial Palace is the palace of a junior in my family, why don't you dare to break in?" Granny Haitang coughed twice.
Bai Qing'er said: "So, are you here as a guest?"
"That's right!"
"Since you are here as a guest, why do you need to bring a helper?"
Bai Qing'er stared outside the palace door.
I saw a tall man in white clothes, holding a stone sword, standing there, his long hair flying in the wind. He was a blood spirit fairy with human appearance, not a human head and a snake body.
He just stood there, and there was ancient aura radiating around him.
Those silver eyes were like two peerless divine swords. Fei Zhong just looked at him, and both his pupils felt stinging, and his head seemed to be torn apart.
"Why are there so many terrifying strong men all of a sudden, all of them are so defiant?" Fei Zhong felt helpless, feeling that he was deeply hit by this trip to the hell world.
As a first-class figure in the dwarf race, wherever he goes, he is as if he is the king of the world, and is worshiped by everyone. It is almost impossible to encounter a monk who can defeat him.
However, in the past few days, he could not defeat any of the monks he met, and the arrogance in his body was completely wiped away.
Blood Spirit Fairy's eyes fell on Zhang Ruochen and said: "What is your relationship with her?"
The person who wanted to wait was already there, so Zhang Ruochen was naturally too lazy to keep trying and said: "He is an enemy, a powerful enemy."
The reason why the word "powerful" is emphasized is to remind Blood Spirit Fairy and Granny Haitang to prevent them from underestimating Bai Qing'er's strength.
There was a look of surprise in Fei Zhong's eyes, obviously he did not expect that Zhang Ruochen, who had been claiming that he "wanted to marry Bai Qing'er", would suddenly reveal his true face.
Bai Qing'er, however, remained calm and composed, saying: "It's very good that you can admit this. I prefer your upright appearance. When you are hypocritical, you are really fake, and you can see through it at a glance. That way, it's very
Hate."
"Really? In the future... if there is a future, I will try to be more truthful in front of you, so as not to be underestimated by you!" Zhang Ruochen laughed.
Bai Qing'er said: "Since we are enemies, there is no need to say more. Your two elders from Kunlun Realm are here. Finally, someone will stand up for you. How about we end it today?"
These words were sarcastic and sarcastic, which was typical of this woman.
However, Zhang Ruochen seemed not to hear anything at all, and said: "Although you have tried to kill me many times, in the end, I was the one who ruined your business first, so there are gains and losses for both sides. I am living well now."
Yes, so I don’t want to make a deeper enmity with you. If possible, I hope that we can turn our hostility into friendship."
No one wants to be an enemy of a Yuanhui-level genius, especially when the hatred is not yet deep.
Just like those forces that had a blood feud with Zhang Ruochen, many of them wanted to resolve their hatred after Zhang Ruochen integrated the sixth holy will.
At that time, Zhang Ruochen had not yet reached the Great Perfection of the Hundred Shackles Realm, and even ranked at the bottom of the "God's Reserve List", far incomparable to Bai Qing'er now.
No one wants to be surrounded by enemies.
Bai Qing'er said: "I'm afraid it's not that easy to turn a war into a treasure, right? The Tianshu Needle, the top-grade original divine crystal, don't you want to take it back?"
"Of course you have to get it back, and you have to let the teacher go," Zhang Ruochen said.
Bai Qing'er said: "You caused me to lose hundreds of thousands of sacred stones in the Destiny God Realm, and killed many of my subordinates. How to calculate this account? Moreover, where is the old man with seven hands, should you also
tell me?"
"Why are you so fussy?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Bai Qing'er said: "Give me the Tianshu Needle and the top-quality Origin Divine Crystal to help me keep the secret, and promise to do one thing for me. I won't argue with you, and everything can be revealed."
Upon hearing the words "Tianshu Needle", Grandma Haitang and Blood Spirit Immortal were both moved and looked at each other.
