Chapter 1778: God’s Left Leg
After the war between the gods, the sky above the Shatuo Domain shone brightly during the day, while holy rain fell at night.
It lasted for a whole month as a miracle happened in the domain, which had been shattered by the gods.
The overwhelming power fluctuations left behind by the war had gradually disappeared. Across the scorched wasteland, fragrant spirit grass, Saint flowers, and towering spirit trees all grew overnight. Condensed Saint aura had reappeared throughout the sacred grounds in major sacred sites, and even the quality of the soil had improved a lot.
Apara-godaniya, once the poorest region within the Shatuo Domain, had received a blessing in disguise, and its soil had become much more fertile. While it was not at the level of a mid-level region, it was enough to make the cultivators from inferior regions around it feel envious.
Among the lower-tier domains, the Shatuo Domain’s cultivation environment had reached the upper mid-level.
The cultivators from the seven regions in Shatuo were all excited. With such an environment, the speed of their cultivation would significantly increase, and the overall strength of the macro world itself would also increase rapidly.
Once the ranking of their macro world improved, they would no longer have to participate in the Battle of Merits and worry about their mother-world becoming a battlefield, ending in annihilation.
Therefore, the improvement in the Shatuo Domain’s cultivation environment had resulted in endless benefits for its seven regions with profound impacts.
“It must have been by Yueshen’s grace that the Celestial Court improved the cultivation environment in the Shatuo Domain.”
“A domain still needs a great omnipotent god such as Yueshen to hold the fort for us to gain substantial benefits and be respected by the cultivators all around the universe. From now on, who would dare to come to the Shatuo Domain and kick up a fuss?”
…
Mount Yueshen.
A circular blood fountain had been built within a bedchamber made out of sacred jade. In the middle of the fountain of blood, a naked Zhang Ruochen woke up on a jade bed.
His wounds seemed to have healed, and he felt no pain.
“I’m still alive.”
After Zhang Ruochen sorted out his thoughts and recalled everything before he fainted, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Being able to survive a battle between gods was something to be happy about.
Pressing his palm against the Xuanbing Jade Bed, Zhang Ruochen wanted to jump up, but the moment his upper body left the bed, his left leg felt as heavy as lead iron and pulled him back down.
Bam!!
The back of Zhang Ruochen’s head slammed heavily into the jade bed.
“What… What’s going on? Is my left leg paralyzed? Why can I not feel or lift it?”
With the vitality of a Saint King, even if his legs were to be chopped off, he could regrow a new one.
Yet, what was the deal with his crippled state?
Only a divine power that had infected his left leg during the battle could have crippled his leg. Similarly, Blackie had been afflicted with the Shenlong Chaos Tower of Sun and Moon’s power. His cultivation level not only hit rock bottom, but he had also taken a half-cat, half-phoenix form.
“Oh! You are finally awake!” A crisp, clear voice suddenly rang across the bedchamber.
Immediately, a petite figure that radiated a jade-colored glow and a whiff of fragrance approached the side of the Xuanbing Jade Bed.
It was a girl who was about fifteen to sixteen years old. Her skin was as bright as jade, her features were delicate, and her eyes were clear as well as sharp. Her hair was tied into two braids, and she was staring at Zhang Ruochen with a curious look.
“Who are you?”
Zhang Ruochen stared at the girl, and to his shock, found that he could not see through her with his current cultivation level and eye power.
She was not a simple character.
She was definitely a powerful one, but why had he never met her on Mount Yueshen before?
The girl smiled at Zhang Ruochen as she giggled. “I’m Xiaoyu! Do you not recognize me anymore?”
“Xiaoyu?”
Something seemed to occur to Zhang Ruochen, and he was slightly taken aback. He then looked at the girl again before he probingly asked, “Are you that Sacred Imperial Jade I took out of the Divinity Bestowment Altar?”
The girl revealed her snow-white teeth and smiled. “Yes, yes. Thank you so much for that, or else I would not have been able to become Lady Yueshen’s disciple.”
Zhang Ruochen’s expression turned somewhat awkward.
It is necessary to point out that the girl before him, who looked incredibly innocent like an immaculate piece of white paper, was a real Supreme Saint. Who knew what kind of powerful Saint techniques she had learned from Blackie and Yueshen?
Now, she could probably pin Zhang Ruochen down with just her little finger.
More importantly, Zhang Ruochen was completely naked at that moment. It was super embarrassing for every part of his body to be seen by a girl with such a pure and lovely face.
Zhang Ruochen coughed dryly and was about to speak. He wanted to ask her to bring him a Saint robe, but he only heard Xiaoyu’s soft voice. “Wow!”
He noticed that her petite snow-white hands were stroking his left leg and her eyes were gleaming. She moved her hands from his calf to his thigh and finally pressed her fingers against the base of his thigh.
Zhang Ruochen felt the slight coolness from her fingers, and his whole body trembled.
When Zhang Ruochen could no longer bear it, he heard Xiaoyu say, “It has actually already begun to fuse together, Zhang Ruochen. Your physical body and constitution are simply too strong!”
“What has fused together?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“God’s left leg of course!”
Xiaoyu’s eyes twinkled as her long eyelashes fluttered. She appeared exceptionally beautiful.
“God’s left leg?” Zhang Ruochen wondered.
Xiaoyu patted Zhang Ruochen on the thigh as a powerful, boundless surge of Supreme Saint power rushed in. Suddenly, a flaming pattern appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s leg and started to burn.
The temperature of the flame was so intense that the base of Zhang Ruochen’s thigh and his lower abdomen felt a little painful as if his body was about to melt.
“Lady Yueshen had already helped you by fusing the god’s left leg into your left leg. Your bones, meridians, blood vessels, and saint meridians had all connected together. Try activating your Saint Qi, and infuse them into your left leg.”
Zhang Ruochen suppressed the astonishment in his heart and quickly activated the Empyrean Emperor Ming’s Scripture. He guided his Saint Qi to flow through his meridians and Saint channels into his left leg.
At the same time, his spiritual power flowed along with his Saint Qi as he was ready to explore what had changed in his left leg.
Once it reached the base of his left thigh, a fiery force surged from his meridians and Saint channels. Right then, he felt like his spiritual power had fallen into a pool of lava and been pushed back by it.
Zhang Ruochen was startled as he quickly went all out to control his Saint Qi.
After he fought the fiery force in his left leg for several hours, only did his Saint Qi make a single revolution through his meridians and Saint channels.
Immediately after, the blood in his veins also began to flow, and Zhang Ruochen gradually regained feeling in his left leg.
Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power, however, could not enter his left leg and could only wander around the base of his thigh back and forth because there was an endless sea of flames beyond. His left leg had turned into a fiery domain; it was both heavy and full of arcane mysteries.
“Did Yueshen really infuse a god’s left leg into mine?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“Yes!”
Xiaoyu nodded and earnestly said, “Lady Yueshen cut off both Yanshen’s left arm and leg. After she wiped out his divine will from them, she infused the left leg into yours. Yueshen said that with your current cultivation and physical strength, bearing a god’s left leg is already the limit. So, she did not infuse the divine left hand into your left hand.”
Zhang Ruochen was stunned.
What kind of method was it?
It was just too mindblowing!
No, the power of a god was extremely terrifying, and even though Yanshen’s divine will had been wiped out, there was still a powerful rejection. With Zhang Ruochen’s Saint-King level cultivation, how was he able to withstand it?
No matter how powerful Yueshen was, surely she could not have done something as mind-blowing as that.
Zhang Ruochen verbalized the question he had in his heart.
Xiaoyu tilted her tiny head as she pondered before she shook it. “I do not know either. Why don’t you go and ask Lady Yueshen herself?”
“All right. Take me to her.”
Zhang Ruochen put on a Saint robe and got down the Xuanbing Jade Bed.
While he had regained the sensation in his left leg, it was still extremely heavy as if there was a divine mountain was inside.
Zhang Ruochen limped while he walked and needed to use the Staff of the Divine Envoy to prop him up for him to move forward. He was literally no different from a cripple.
Whenever his left leg touched the ground, a shallow footprint would be left behind. Even the sacred jade floor could not support it.
As he walked, Zhang Ruochen asked, “Xiaoyu… Supreme Saint Xiaoyu, do you know if Mu Lingxi is on Mount Yueshen?”
“You mean Senior Sister Mu? She is not here.” Xiaoyu turned her head around and smiled.
While Xiaoyu’s cultivation was far superior to that of Mu Lingxi, since Mu Lingxi had become Yueshen’s disciple earlier than her, she naturally called her a senior.
“Where did she go?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Xiaoyu continued, “Supposedly, Lady Yueshen sent her to the Kunlun Realm a few months back.”
“What is she doing in the Kunlun Realm?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Xiaoyu shook her head and said, “I have no idea. She did not tell me. Why don’t you ask Lady Yueshen herself?”
Zhang Ruochen frowned and could not figure out why Yueshen would send Mu Lingxi to the Kunlun Realm.
When Zhang Ruochen arrived at Guanghan Temple’s complex, he saw Yueshen.
In the battle between gods a month ago, Yueshen had left a deep impression on Zhang Ruochen. Characters like herself were truly capable of stepping on suns and plucking stars out of the skies. She was extremely fascinating.
“Salutations, Yueshen.”
After Zhang Ruochen gave her a fist-palm salute, he asked about Mu Lingxi first.
“In the years that you were absent from the Kunlun Realm, it went through several earth-shaking upheavals, and many arcane mysteries emerged from the depths or hidden dimensions. The reason I sent Lingxi to the Kunlun Realm is that after the Kunlun Realm recovered, a supreme opportunity for her appeared.” Yueshen’s voice was as calm as water.
Zhang Ruochen followed up with another question. “What opportunity?”
“An opportunity left behind by the ancestors of her clan,” Yueshen said.
“The ancestors of the medieval aristocratic Mu Clan? No, could it be… the Phoenix Clan?”
It had to really be something for Yueshen to call it a supreme opportunity.
An opportunity left behind by an ancestor of an aristocratic family would not be at that level.
Zhang Ruochen knew that Mu Lingxi had the blood of the Frost Phoenix flowing in her, and she was the only living person in the Kunlun Realm who could fully revive the Frost Phoenix bloodline.
Yueshen did not continue to answer Zhang Ruochen’s question. Instead, she asked, “How is the god’s left leg feeling?”
“I was just about to ask you about it. Why did you infuse Yanshen’s left leg into mine? Will there be any hidden dangers?” Zhang Ruochen replied.
“No.”
Yueshen stood up and drew a beautiful thin curved line in the air as she said, “Other cultivators, Supreme Saints even, can barely fuse together with a god’s left leg, but you are different. You have the Five-element Chaotic Body and the Mark of the Gods, so your compatibility is excellent. Neither will you have any resistance to the god’s left leg nor will it resist you.
“In addition, I have placed four seals on the god’s left leg, sealing ninety-nine percent of its power. The little bit of power that remains is what your current cultivation and physical body are capable of handling.
“Of course, if you can utilize this tiny amount of strength well, just with this leg alone, you can run rampant at any rank below a Supreme Saint.
“Once you reach the rank of a Nine-step Saint King, you can try to unlock the first seal of the god’s left leg. Then, this leg’s power will be even more terrifying and even a Supreme Saint’s immortal body might not be able to go up against it.”
