Riding a Levitation Boat, the Moon Goddess brought Zhang Ruochen’s group across the Heavenly River and finally reached the legendary center of the thousand worlds—the Heaven World.
The Guanghan Divine Palace was situated at the peak of a white jade-like divine mountain.
This mountain was called the Moon Goddess Mountain. It hovered thousands of feet in the sky and was shrouded in layers of saintly mist. As the Moon Goddess returned, the mist quickly scattered. Brilliant divine light shone from the Guanghan Divine Palace.
The Moon Goddess was telling the entire Heaven World that after 100,000 years, she’d returned.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen’s group stood on the ground and looked up at the crescent-shaped Moon Goddess Mountain.
A huge beam of Saintly Way aura flew over from the distance and landed near the Moon Goddess Mountain. It bowed at the Guanghan Divine Palace and announced, “The Scorpion Beast Emperor of Guanghan Field greets the Moon Goddess. Welcome back to the Heaven World.”
Then the Scorpion Beast Emperor turned into its human form and walked into the Guanghan Divine Palace.
Gu Songzi’s eyes were solemn and he tsked. “The 62nd Supreme Saint. Guanghan Field’s heritage is too scary. Can it really be fourth to last of all the worlds?”
The Crazy Alcoholic took quite a hit too. “If you add all the humans and savage beasts of Kunlun’s Field, there won’t be more than 40 Supreme Saints. It’s probably only half of Guanghan Field. Ah! A Saint King can stir up a storm in Kunlun’s Field, but after coming to Heaven World, I realize I’m nothing.”
Zhang Ruochen was quite calm instead. “Didn’t you notice? The entire Heaven World is filled with heavy Spiritual Qi. Under Moon Goddess Mountain, there’s even faint Divine Qi. This way, it must be easier to reach the Saint Realm in Heaven World, and easier to reach the Supreme Saint Realm.”
“Correct,” Blackie said. “Compared to Heaven World, the resources and environment of Kunlun’s Field are too impoverished. Those who can reach the Supreme Saint Realm must possess strong willpower, fate Qi, and wisdom. I hypothesize that if the Saints of Kunlun’s Field come to Heaven World, they’ll definitely improve vastly in a short time. The extraordinary figures stuck in the Pre-Supreme Saint Realm will definitely have a breakthrough.”
…
Around two hours later, the Supreme Saints of Guanghan Field walked out of the divine palace. They flew out as beams of saintly light.
Only Supreme Saint Manjian flew to the ground, appearing before Zhang Ruochen’s group.
Supreme Saint Manjian was a human around 2.2 meters tall. His entire body was covered with steel-like muscles and he had a thick beard.
Even though he’d collected his saintly might, the aura that he released subconsciously still gave Zhang Ruochen’s group quite a lot of pressure.
Sword Saint Manjian studied Zhang Ruochen. A smile appeared in his eyes and he nodded. “So, you have the Five-Elements Chaotic Body and four Peak Realms. No wonder an Absolute Land Saint can be valued by the Moon Goddess too.”
“Greetings, Supreme Saint Manjian.”
Zhang Ruochen, Gu Songzi, the Crazy Alcoholic, Mu Lingxi, and Blackie all bowed respectfully to Supreme Saint Manjian.
Supreme Saint Manjian knew that the Moon Goddess valued Zhang Ruochen, so he didn’t act like an arrogant Supreme Saint. Smiling casually, he said, “Zhang Ruochen, the Moon Goddess wishes for you to cultivate with me from now on. Are you willing?”
“Of course,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Cultivating with a Supreme Saint was a dream for any cultivator. If Zhang Ruochen wanted to get stronger, he naturally needed guidance like this.
Supreme Saint Manjian was always observing Zhang Ruochen. Seeing that he could be so dignified even before a Supreme Saint and remain calm after learning that he could cultivate with a Supreme Saint, Manjian was impressed.
This one had potential.
Zhang Ruochen, Blackie, and Mu Lingxi left Moon Goddess Mountain with Supreme Saint Manjian. As for Gu Songzi and the Crazy Alcoholic, the Moon Goddess had other plans.
The rules of Heaven World were countless times stronger than Kunlun’s Field. The structures of space and material were much more stable too. Thus, even a Half-Saint was only a bit stronger than a regular person here.
A Saint was much stronger than a Half-Saint, but they still couldn’t fly.
Supreme Saint Manjian wrapped Zhang Ruochen, Blackie, and Mu Lingxi with his own Holy Qi. He flew nonstop for hundreds of thousands of miles. They came to a red mountain range and stopped at a mountaintop with thick Holy Qi.
“This is my saint territory,” Supreme Saint Manjian said. “It’s called Red Dragon Saint Territory.”
“How big is the Red Dragon Saint Territory?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Supreme Saint Manjian chuckled loudly. “In the Heaven World, every saint territory is the same size. They’re all 30,000 miles long and wide. As long as you reach the Supreme Saint Realm, you can have a saint territory as your own land.”
“Each Supreme Saint only has 30,000 miles no matter how strong they are?” Zhang Ruochen asked again.

“Yes.”
“Then how big is a god’s territory?”
Sword Saint Manjian laughed loudly again. “The rules here are very restrictive for gods, so gods cannot have territories in Heaven World. Only Supreme Saints can, so we have some voice before gods. As for Half-Saints, Saints, and Saint Kings, a god won’t even pay attention to them. But you’re an exception. The Moon Goddess values you greatly.”
It suddenly made sense to Zhang Ruochen. “I understand! The more Supreme Saints a world has, the more cultivation lands they can have in the Heaven World, allowing them to receive more resources, correct?”
“Yes and no,” Supreme Saint Manjian said. “Even though each Supreme Saint has territories of the same size, they also differ in fertility. Stronger Supreme Saints can have richer territories and have hundreds or thousands of times more resources than barren lands.
“Work hard on cultivating! With your body, you’ll definitely be a powerful Supreme Saint when you reach the realm. By then, you can take up the top saint territory and possess the top resources. Even a god would want your help.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were extremely sharp. The thirst in his heart grew stronger. “What exactly does the Moon Goddess want me to do?” he asked again.
Sword Saint Manjian shook his head. “The Moon Goddess didn’t tell me. But not too long after, there will indeed be a big matter. You might be able to help. Your realm is still too low. Work on cultivating first and try to reach the Heaven Pass Realm as soon as possible.”
With that, Supreme Saint Manjian took out a saint jade badge. He gave it to Zhang Ruochen, saying, “You don’t have any merits now, so you can’t enter many cultivation lands. If you use my saint jade badge, you can at least walk freely through the Red Dragon Saint Territory.”
Zhang Ruochen grasped the badge. He could feel the strong Supreme Saint might inside. If not for his strong willpower, he probably would’ve fallen to the ground when he touched the badge.
Clearly, Supreme Saint Manjian was testing Zhang Ruochen again.
If he wasn’t able to hold the badge steadily, he wouldn’t be qualified to use it.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen could hold the badge confidently, Supreme Saint Manjian was shocked inwardly. He nodded and then left the Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land.
The Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land was the cultivation land that Supreme Saint Manjian gave Zhang Ruochen.
Blackie yelped in excitement. “Heaven World is great. Us three can just have a saint land. This would be unimaginable in Kunlun’s Field.”
Mu Lingxi had a happy smile too. She fluttered her lashes. “It’s not because of you. Why are you so excited? Guanghan Field only values Zhang Ruochen.”
“I don’t want to talk to you. I need to count how many saint medicines and treasures the Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land has.” Blackie unfurled its wings. Fire radiated out of its body and it flew up, rushing into the distance.
Zhang Ruochen made a noise of confusion.
Mu Lingxi also widened her pretty eyes. “Blackie can actually fly? Is it really only a Saint?”
“Wait until it returns. Then we can ask it slowly.”
Zhang Ruochen had many questions that he wanted to ask Blackie.
But on the way to Heaven World, Zhang Ruochen’s spirits had been low. He’d always been worrying over the safety of the Sacred Central Empire, so he didn’t ask.
Now, Zhang Ruochen worked on clearing the negative emotions in his mind. His desire grew stronger. He only wanted to focus on cultivation.
Thus, he entered the Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land and immediately sat on the ground. He activated all his Holy Qi and focused on refining the Pill Spirit of the Spirit-Charging Pill.
To go from the beginning to middle of the Absolute Land Realm, Zhang Ruochen had only refined one-tenth of the Pill Spirit. According to his calculations, he could reach the pinnacle of the realm if he refined all of the Pill Spirit.
When Supreme Saint Manjian returned to the Red Dragon Saint Pavilion, he immediately issued a saint order. “One of the 12 lands of the Red Dragon Saint Territory, Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land, belongs to Zhang Ruochen starting today. All Saints and Half-Saints of Guanghan Field must receive permission from Zhang Ruochen to cultivate in the Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land.”
After the order was issued, all the cultivators in the Red Dragon Saint Territory were alarmed. They were all guessing where the lord of the Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land was from. How come they’d never heard his name before?
When did such a lord appear in Guanghan Field?
A middle-aged woman in the True Saint Realm had a sword on her back. She walked quickly into the Red Dragon Saint Pavilion. Bowing to Supreme Saint Manjian, she said, “Reporting to the Supreme Saint, the Chaisang Saint Territory to the south of the Red Dragon Saint Territory was conquered by a Supreme Saint, turning it into their territory.”
Supreme Saint Manjian narrowed his eyes. “Chaisang Saint Territory has always had no owner. Now that it’s been taken over by someone else, we won’t be able to enter it to pick medicine at will. Go check which Supreme Saint has taken up the land.”
“It has already been investigated. It’s a human Supreme Saint from Kunlun’s Field, Kong Lanyou,” the True Saint said.
“When I visited Moon Goddess, I heard that the various Saints of Kunlun’s Field would enter the Heaven World,” Supreme Saint Manjian muttered to himself. “I didn’t think that they’d come so quickly.”
A moment later, another True Saint walked in. “Reporting to the Supreme Saint. The Tianshi Saint Territory, west of the Red Dragon Saint Territory, has been taken over by Shi Qianjue, human Supreme Saint of Kunlun’s Field.”
“Reporting to the Supreme Saint. The Kuli Saint Territory, north of the Red Dragon Saint Territory, has been taken over by Ling Xiu, human Supreme Saint of Kunlun’s Field.”
Hearing these three pieces of news, Supreme Saint Manjian smiled wryly. “The three ownerless saint territories closest to the Red Dragon Saint Territory have been taken over. It seems that the Moon Goddess guessed correctly. The Saints of Kunlun’s Field really were arranged to our region. There’s a new world now. From now on, the Six Shatuo Worlds should be known as the Seven Shatuo Worlds.”
