Chapter 2157: The Imperial Ruler

Yin Yuanchen seemed to know what Zhang Ruochen was thinking. He sighed and said, “Grandmother has long become a god. She participated in the ancient divine war 100,000 years ago, but she couldn’t change the fact that Kunlun Realm was on the decline. The ruler of Heavenly Realm didn’t allow her to return to her homeland no matter how much she wished to.”

“It’s hard to return to her homeland with the grudges between Kunlun Realm and Heavenly Realm. All these years, grandmother’s heart has been full of contradictions. She has been living a hard life.”

Yin Yuanchen’s eyes showed a hint of sadness. He unconsciously tightened his fist, as if he felt the same way about his grandmother’s experience.

“You seem to know your grandmother’s affairs very well,” Zhang Ruochen said calmly.

Yin Yuanchen said, “To tell you the truth, brother Zhang, when I was very young, my mother was killed by a powerhouse from Infernal Court. I was raised by my grandmother. She loved me very much and gave me the best of everything. She even used the secret technique contained in the

Heaven’s Pass Scripture

to help me purify my body repeatedly.”

Yin Yuanchen could not help but felt a little sad mentioning his past. At the same time, he had a sense of hatred. He hated the Infernal Court for killing his mother.

If it were not for his grandmother who loved him dearly, his childhood would have been gloomy. It would have been hard for him to have the achievements he had today.

A strange look flashed in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. He quickly recalled information about the

Heaven’s Pass Scripture

in his mind.

Kunlun Realm had a deep foundation and there were countless techniques to cultivate. There were many Regal-class techniques and the six great tomes.

Logically speaking, Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations’s daughter should be cultivating the same techniques as her father. Even if her technique were different, it must be extraordinary.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Ruochen still couldn’t find any information about

Heaven’s Pass Scripture

. There didn’t seem to be any inheritance of this technique in Kunlun Realm.

In fact, he also knew nothing about the technique cultivated by Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations.

Zhang Ruochen had an idea, he sent a stream of spiritual power into the Qiankun Realm and asked the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, “Senior, have you heard of the

Heaven’s Pass Scripture

?”

The Divine Sky-connecting Tree was absorbing the essence of its dried tree trunk. It had become very tall, with luxuriant branches and leaves. Its life force was so dense that it could not be dispersed. Thus, it formed a river of life under the tree.

“The

Heaven’s Pass Scripture

is a technique cultivated by Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations. It originated from the outer realm and is extremely mysterious. It’s extremely difficult to cultivate that even Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations himself hasn’t truly cultivated it to its peak. The Heaven’s Pass Temple is one of the three great divine temples of Kunlun Realm and was established by Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations. It also got its name from the

Heaven’s Pass Scripture

.” The Divine Sky-connecting Tree replied.

Zhang Ruochen was struck by its words. He didn’t expect a peerless cultivator such as Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations would cultivate a mysterious technique from the outer realm instead of the six great tomes of Kunlun Realm.

For Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations to become a peerless cultivator, it was enough to show that the

Heaven’s Pass Scripture

wasn’t simple. It probably wasn’t inferior to the six great tomes of Kunlun Realm.

However, it was strange that the

Heaven’s Pass Scripture

was not included in the Taiyi Divine Techniques Rank compiled by the Celestial Court.

If it was not because the

Heaven’s Pass Scripture

‘s grade was not high enough, then it meant that it was too mysterious and few people knew about it.

“Senior, could you sense the power of the

Heaven’s Pass Scripture

?” Zhang Ruochen asked again.

The Divine Sky-connecting Tree said, “Yes.”

Zhang Ruochen opened a crack in the Qiankun Realm so that the Divine Sky-connecting Tree could sense the outside world.

“This person does have the aura of the

Heaven’s Pass Scripture

. He must have been refined by this power,” the Divine Sky-connecting Tree said.

Zhang Ruochen was struck by its words and thought. ‘Was Yin Yuanchen’s grandmother really the daughter of Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations?’

According to the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, the

Heaven’s Pass Scripture

was a cultivation technique that Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations had mastered. It had never been spread in Kunlun Realm, so it was unlikely that the Heavenly Realm had it.

Therefore, Yin Yuanchen’s words should have a certain degree of credibility.

In other words, Yin Yuanchen was very likely to be the descendant of Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations. His identity was not inferior to, or even better than, young master Akash.

Many thoughts flashed through Zhang Ruochen’s mind. He looked straight at Yin Yuanchen and said, “After all this, what do you want from me?”

“I wish to fight at your side, brother Zhang. We can team up against the powerful cultivators of the Infernal Court. I know that you are invincible below the Supreme Saint, but there are countless of them in the Infernal Court and I can’t fight them all by myself. Although I’m not talented, I want to give my best shot,” Yin Yuanchen said seriously.

Zhang Ruochen stared at Yin Yuanchen for a moment and said, “If you really want to deal with the Infernal Court, I welcome you no matter your origin.”

“But if you have ulterior motives and caused harm to Kunlun Realm, I won’t let it pass. I hope you and I won’t end up fighting each other.”

Obviously, Zhang Ruochen had always been vigilant against those of the Heavenly Realm.

“I believe that we will become friends instead of enemies. Brother Zhang, you must have something to do. I won’t disturb you any longer. Farewell.” Yin Yuanchen cupped his hands and left with a smile.

Looking at Yin Yuanchen’s back, Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment. He carved a Communication Talisman and sent it to Divine Scripture Maiden to ask about Yin Yuanchen.

If it was anyone else, he wouldn’t care. But Yin Yuanchen might be the descendant of Lord Wentian of the Ten Tribulations, which piqued his interest.

Whoosh

Soon, a Communication Talisman returned.

Zhang Ruochen got shocked after reading the content of the talisman.

“Yin Yuanchen is really an exception in the Heavenly Realm,” Zhang Ruochen murmured.

According to the information provided by Divine Scripture Maiden, Yin Yuanchen was indeed the grandson of a powerful deity in the Heavenly Realm. However, he was not on good terms with the other cultivators in the Heavenly Realm. He had always been alone and had been training on the Battlefield of Merits all year round; he had killed a large number of powerful cultivators from Infernal Court.

He had always kept a low profile and was not liked by the other cultivators in the Heavenly Realm. Therefore, he had never been well-known.

Speaking of which, Yin Yuanchen had been in Kunlun Realm for quite some time. He had spent most of his time in the Battlefield of Merits behind the Godfall Cryptwoods in the Eastern Region. He had caused heavy losses to the Ghost and the Corpusian. He had even saved the humans in many cities of the Eastern Region and sabotaged some of the Heavenly Realm’s plans.

After the Central Imperial City fell into crisis, Yin Yuanchen was one of the first to come to support them. He had fought twice in a row against the top-notch cultivators of the Infernal Court. One win and one draw had a great impact on the morale of the Celestial Court.

‘It seems that the Heavenly Realm is not all sinister and vicious. They still have the heart to fight against those of the Infernal Court. If the Heavenly Realm has more such talented ones, how can the Infernal Court press on?’ Zhang Ruochen sighed with emotion.

No matter what, it was certainly a good thing to have someone like Yin Yuanchen in the Heavenly Realm.

Zhang Ruochen collected his thoughts and walked toward the headquarters of the Inscription Guild.

Perhaps it was because the army of the Infernal Court was approaching the city, so it was quite deserted. There was not even a guard at the door. As though anyone could enter freely.

‘Huh?’

The Thirty-six Formless Transmogrification that was cast earlier instantly lost its effect as soon as Zhang Ruochen stepped through the door, and reverted to his true form.

However, he did not panic at all.

Although Zhang Ruochen wanted to keep a low profile in the imperial city, it was not a big deal to reveal his true form either.

As Zhang Ruochen had expected, the Inscription Guild was indeed very vast. It was like a minor realm with a towering Saint Mountain and a flowing spiritual spring. The Saint Qi of heaven and earth was extremely dense and the precepts of heaven and earth were very active. It could be called a sacred ground for cultivation.

At this moment, a white-robed elder walked out of nowhere. He was thin and small, and his hair and beard were white, but his spirit was shining. There was no fluctuation of Saint Qi on him. He looked like an ordinary elder.

“The Prince of the Eastern Region has finally come. I have been waiting for you.”

The white-robed elder smiled warmly and walked toward Zhang Ruochen.

“Waiting for me?”

Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes. He could tell at a glance that the white-robed elder was extraordinary. He was a Spirit Saint and infinitely close to the 60th level.

Although Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power was close to the 60th level, it was based on its quantity.

In terms of quality, he could not compare with the white-robed elder in front of him.

The white-robed elder’s spiritual power cultivation should be no less than Grand Chamberlain Wang Shiqi.

It seems that the
