Chapter 1513: Owner Of The Sundial

After Mu Lingxi and Martial Saint Canglan received the inheritance of the Ice and Fire Phoenix, the formation in the Phoenix Nest lost the support of the Supreme Saint power and dimmed.

Zhang Ruochen went to the side of a Honghua Vine. Activating the Abyss Ancient Sword, he cut down.

Thud!

The formation runes on the vine only flashed before getting cut down by the power of the Abyss Ancient Sword.

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t do this before.

“The saintly source and Rules of Saintly Way of the Ice and Fire Phoenix have both entered Lingxi and Wan Canglan’s wings. The defense of the Phoenix Nest is weakening quickly. It won’t be long before the formation becomes completely useless.”

Zhang Ruochen collected the Honghua Vines while searching for the hunter god’s Godly Star Soul.

A treasure like the Honghua Vines could only be chanced upon.

Earlier, if not for the Honghua Vines’ help, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t have reached the Absolute Saint Realm so quickly. This one point proved the Honghua Vine’s value.

Demonic Sound was also collecting Honghua Vines.

The Holy Carnivorous Flower had terrifying talent. It could directly absorb a Saint’s Blood Qi, saintly power, and even Rules of Saintly Way to convert into its nutrition. This was very enviable.

However, if the Holy Carnivorous Flower wanted to use the saintly power and Rules of Saintly Way at will, she still needed to spend a lot of time to comprehend them. Otherwise, she was no different than an infant with a muscular body.

The Honghua Vines were also valuable to her.

“Master, is the Godly Star Soul of the hunter god really in the Phoenix Nest?” Demonic Sound asked. “How can this kind of treasure not have any aura? Could Princess Luosha be lying?”

They’d collected quite a lot of Honghua Vines. Zhang Ruochen and Demonic Sound had walked for a long time in the Phoenix Nest but didn’t discover anything. Naturally, she grew doubtful.

“If there is no Godly Star Soul,” Zhang Ruochen said while thinking, “Princess Luosha wouldn’t have infiltrated beside me so calculatedly and used me to help undo the spatial formation. The only possibility is that she’d guessed incorrectly or the hunter god never put his Godly Star Soul in the Phoenix Nest.”

“Then we…”

Demonic Sound was about to say something when the space of the entire Phoenix Nest shook violently, crackling.

It was like the sound of space cracking.

The ground underfoot quickly started sinking in.

“What’s going on?” Demonic Sound was shocked.

“The space in the Phoenix Nest will collapse soon.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t panic. After all, the spatial structure here was relatively stable. It wouldn’t collapse in an instant. They could leave without any worry.

“Great changes are happening to the spatial structure. Perhaps, the sundial will have changes too. Let’s go and look. I hope we can take it away.”

Zhang Ruochen was indeed disappointed at not finding the Godly Star Soul, so he wanted even more to take the sundial.

The two hurried toward the sundial. When they were almost there, Zhang Ruochen suddenly sensed a familiar aura and hurriedly stopped.

“Princess Luosha’s aura.”

Zhang Ruochen quickly activated the 12 Buddhist pearls to cover his and Demonic Sound’s aura, so Princess Luosha’s strong Spiritual Power wouldn’t discover them.

“Could Princess Luosha have discovered the sundial?” Demonic Sound asked.

“Most likely.”

Zhang Ruochen was silent for a bit. “Take the Merits Records Wall and leave the Phoenix Nest now. Then find a secret place to hide.”

“Lord Lingquan and many first marquises have also entered the Phoenix Nest,” Demonic Sound said. “If they ally with Princess Luosha, are you confident in defeating them?”

“No matter how dangerous it is, the sundial is worth the try.”

Sharp light gleamed in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.

“Okay.”

Demonic Sound knew how valuable the sundial was to Zhang Ruochen. He would never give it up, so without speaking further, she took the Merits Record Wall and went in the other direction.

As soon as Demonic Sound left, Princess Luosha’s cold voice traveled over from the distance. “Who is it? Is it fun to hide before me?”

Zhang Ruochen was silently impressed.

He’d activated the Buddhist pearl instantly, but Princess Luosha had still sensed him and came over to look.

This woman’s perceptiveness was honestly terrifying.

Princess Luosha’s beautiful figure walked out of the seven-colored light, appearing around 100 feet away. She wore a blue dress that showed her tall and curvy figure. Her snow-white hands held a saint staff. There was no demonic aura about her. Instead, she looked more like a fairy.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t retreat or try to attack. Instead, he used the Traceless 36 Changes before Princess Luosha and transformed into Lord Lingquan.

Seeing Lord Lingquan standing in the distance, Princess Luosha was quite surprised. “It’s you? Why are you acting so sneaky?”

Pretending to be Lord Lingquan, Zhang Ruochen said, “I was worried about Your Highness’s safety, so I snuck into the Phoenix Nest.”

Princess Luosha released her Spiritual Power and searched around. “You’re alone?”

“Yes.”

Hesitation appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s face. “Princess, you’re not with Zhang Ruochen?”

Princess Luosha was quite cold to Lord Lingquan. She didn’t smile. “Zhang Ruochen already saw through my disguise, so you don’t have to hide anymore either. Since you’re here, then come and study something with me.”

Zhang Ruochen strode over, asking, “What thing?”

“Something very interesting. I promise you’ve never seen it before.”

Princess Luosha didn’t suspect Zhang Ruochen’s status. After all, Zhang Ruochen was now very advanced in the Traceless 36 Changes. As long as he didn’t have any major errors, he could fool anybody.

Princess Luosha walked forward. She had a sweet fragrance, paired with a flawless figure and curves at her waist. As he followed her, even with Zhang Ruochen’s mindset, he still couldn’t help but think of how they’d cultivated together back then.

Faced with someone with a perfect appearance and talent, who also had a noble status, it was no wonder that Lord Lingquan was infatuated.

Princess Luosha could naturally sense “Lord Lingquan” staring at her. She felt disgusted, but she repressed her feelings. After all, Lord Lingquan had a special status in the Luosha Race too. He wasn’t a nobody that she could kill off.

As expected, Princess Luosha took Zhang Ruochen near the sundial. She stopped within 120 feet of it.

“What is this? You can actually hear water flowing out of this ugly rock.”

Pretending not to sense the danger, Zhang Ruochen strode forward.

Princess Luosha shook her head, thinking, He really is brash, even daring to run around such an eerie place. He’s so far off from Zhang Ruochen.

“Be careful. The space around the sundial is filled with the power of time. If you continue walking, it’ll be suicide.”

Suspicion flashed past Princess Luosha’s eyes.

Zhang Ruochen hurriedly retreated to Princess Luosha’s side. “The power of time?” he asked, confused. “What is this sundial?”

“The sundial is something that some human civilizations use to measure time. If I’ve guessed correctly, then this sundial should be a top treasure for controlling time. Also… Perhaps it’s connected to the Godly Star Soul.”

Zhang Ruochen’s heart jumped. “How is that possible?” he asked, stunned. “The Godly Star Soul is actually hidden in that ugly rock?”

Princess Luosha rolled her eyes. “When did I say that it’s hidden inside of the sundial? It’s just that this is the only thing in the Phoenix Nest that I do not understand. If I were the hunter god, I might hide the secret of the Godly Star Soul inside a time treasure too.”

“But we can’t get close to the sundial,” Zhang Ruochen said. “How about I go capture Zhang Ruochen? With his control of time, he might be able to help us get the sundial.”

Princess Luosha stared at him as if looking at an idiot. “With the kind of person Zhang Ruochen is, do you think you can order him around? Plus, with my tactics, I’m not even confident in capturing him. You shouldn’t go offend him, lest you fall into his hands instead.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t expect that Princess Luosha would think so highly of him and felt quite stressed. Because the more Princess Luosha thought of him, the worse her tactics would be when fighting with him.

Princess Luosha raised her dewy face and stared up at the sundial. “There is no sun in the Phoenix Nest, nor is there sunlight,” she murmured. “Why did the Ice and Fire Phoenix put a sundial here?”

“Princess, you are well-read and knowledgeable. Do you know the background of the sundial?”

Princess Luosha had thought for a long time without getting an answer. Hearing Zhang Ruochen’s question, she replied, “The sundial must have existed for a very long time. There’s no way to find out who made it. However, I do know that it existed once in the universal godly battle 100,000 years ago. At that time, the person who controlled it was a terrifying figure from Kunlun’s Field.”

“Who?”

Zhang Ruochen had some guesses, so he desperately wanted to know the answer.

Princess Luosha grew suspicious. Glancing at Zhang Ruochen, she asked, “Why are you so excited?”

Zhang Ruochen laughed loudly. “The sundial is such a treasure,” he said as a cover-up. “Whoever can control it must be extremely powerful. I’m naturally curious.”

Princess Luosha wasn’t suspicious anymore. “He is powerful, of course. Many divine creatures from the Hell World died in his hands during that battle. Even my father is respectful when mentioning him. He controlled two of the Ancient Ways—time and space. He was known as Saint Monk Xumi.”

“Saint Monk Xumi,” Zhang Ruochen echoed.

“He wouldn’t call himself a Buddha until Hell was empty. He wouldn’t call himself a god until Hell was empty. Otherwise, with his extreme abilities, how could he only be a Saint Monk? It wouldn’t be an exaggeration even for him to be called a Divine Buddha.”

Princess Luosha continued, “The Ice and Fire Phoenix must’ve found the place where Saint Monk Xumi passed on and received this sundial.”
