The Eternal God Emperor Begins from the First Realm Breakthrough

Chapter 54 Return
In the small courtyard of Yunwu Royal City.

Chen Ping's body had been sitting cross-legged for a full year.

"call!"

Chen Ping uttered a low groan, opened his eyes and looked around.

The sky-covering order field set up by the ninety-fifth-level spiritual power ancestor was still operating perfectly, while the Blue Sky Holy Dragon on the edge of the order field was dozing off, absorbing the divine matter between heaven and earth that had been transformed by the ancestor's great power in its sleep.

The memories that flooded his mind like a torrent made him a little dazed, but it only lasted for a moment before he woke up.

He spread out his palms and looked at the ancient runes with the rhyme of creation in his palms. For a moment, he was a little confused as to whether the time and space that the Ancestral Dao Seal took him to was real or illusory.

"Sister Yinxue, Senior Brother Xuancheng, Senior Sister Baiyu, Senior Sister Xuanxin... Do they really only exist in my memory?"

Going back in time, Chen Ping went to the era twelve eons ago. In one eon, he met too many people and left too many unforgettable memories. If the experience of this eon was really just like a dream, he would find it difficult to accept.

"It may not be fake. With the mystery of the source of all paths, it may be possible to send me back to twelve epochs ago." Chen Ping looked at the Creation Seal in his hand and thought to himself, this Creation Seal also did not belong to this time and space, but it returned with him.

Chen Ping had expectations in his heart, but he also understood that even if everything had really happened, after twelve eras, the people he cared about would probably have been lost in the long river of time.

……

Chen Ping sat quietly in the yard for a long time, adjusted his mood, and then stood up, dispersed the sky-covering order field, and walked out of the yard.

The autumn colors are in full swing in Yunwu King City. It is evening, and the setting sun and evening breeze are set against the backdrop of fallen leaves on the ancient trees, creating a magnificent autumn scene.

Chen Ping swept his mind across the entire Tianmo Ridge, and his mental power enveloped the entire Tianmo Ridge. In just a moment, he knew all the things that had happened in Tianmo Ridge in the past year, no matter how big or small or secret.

Of course, his main focus was on Zhang Ruochen.

In the past year, Zhang Ruochen first entered the West Court of the Tianmo Ridge Martial Arts Academy and lived in the Dragon Martial Hall in the West Court.

However, she was framed by Duanmu Xingling and accidentally broke into Huang Yanchen's residence on the first night of school. She witnessed Huang Yanchen bathing in the springtime. Fearing her reputation as a female devil, she injured her in self-protection. Thus, she became acquainted with Huang Yanchen and Duanmu Xingling, which marked the beginning of a whole story.

Although it was only a short year, Zhang Ruochen experienced a lot.

Defeat Feng Zhilin on the life and death stage.

He ranked first among the freshmen in the quarterly assessment, became one of the top ten masters in the West Court, and was qualified to enter the intermediate ruins of Chikong Secret Mansion.

The Sifang Commandery launched a massive attack on the Yunwu Commandery. Zhang Ruochen, along with the Prince of Yunwu, went to the Qianshui Commandery to seek assistance.

In front of all the powerful men in Qianshui County, he defeated all the young geniuses with his sword, won the favor of the King of Qianshui County, and even made a marriage contract with the Princess of Qianshui County, Huang Yanchen.

It can be said that there are thousands of waters with swords and phoenixes on the stage, golden and jade leaves are raining down, and red sleeves are waving in the whole building.

After returning from Qianshui County, he entered the Chikong Secret Palace again. After several battles, he got many opportunities and even got the key to the underwater Dragon Palace. It can be said that he gained a lot.

After leaving the Chikong Secret Mansion, Zhang Ruochen went to Tianmo Wucheng in the heart of Tianmo Ridge. With the help of the training ground in the inner courtyard of the Wushi Academy, he tried to break through to the supreme realm of Xuanji Realm. Now he has successfully broken through and stepped into the Diji Realm, becoming a new inner courtyard student of the Tianmo Ridge Wushi Academy.

"You've been through a lot in this year."

……

Lingyue Town is an inconspicuous town in Yunwu County.

Six months ago, the black market and the Moon Worshiping Cult launched a purge against the Wushi Bank in Yunwu Commandery, severely injuring its branch owner, Liu Chuanshen, and severely damaging the bank's influence within Yunwu Commandery. Six months later, the Tianmo Ridge Wushi Bank had recovered and begun retaliating against the black market and the Moon Worshiping Cult, spearheaded by the talented warriors of the Wushi Academy's inner court.

Wearing a mask, Zhang Ruochen walked on the ancient bluestone pavement of Lingyue Town. His nostrils twitched slightly as he smelled the bloody odor in the air.

He is now the ninth prince of Yunwu County. The counterattack of Wu City Bank against the black market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult in Yunwu County is also a good thing for Yunwu County, so he naturally will not stand idly by.

More importantly, his fiancée, Princess Yanchen of Qianshui County, had already entered Yunwu County before him and threatened to kill the big demons of the black market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult in exchange for contribution points to the academy.

"Why do I always feel like there's someone watching me from behind?"

Zhang Ruochen was puzzled. He had clearly returned to Yunwu Commandery alone, and had concealed his identity. Yet, he felt as if someone was watching him. After some investigation, he found nothing. It was truly strange.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it."

He shook his head, without thinking any more, and continued walking towards Lingyue Town. According to the information from Wu City Bank, the strong men from the underworld force "Black Tiger Hall" in Dihuo City were in Lingyue Town at this moment.

Chen Ping stood on an attic in the town, watching Zhang Ruochen walk into the town and taking in all his actions.

After waking up from his deep sleep, Chen Ping found out Zhang Ruochen's location and rushed here in a flash. The mystery of the Ancestral Dao Seal left him wanting more. Since he had nothing to do, he might as well follow Zhang Ruochen and perhaps gain some unexpected gains from the Heavenly Dao.

He walked down from the attic and transformed into a hunchbacked old man, who was none other than the head of the Black Tiger Hall, Iron Tuobei, a warrior at the Great Extreme level of the Earth Realm, and a notorious gangster in the Yunwu Commandery.

With his departure, the Black Tiger Hall warriors in the attic were reduced to ashes, and all traces of them were wiped out from this world.

A ray of spiritual light lit up in the attic, which was the fluctuation of the way of creation. A moment later, a tiger with a pitch-black body and made entirely of metal walked out of the building.

"Black Tiger Hall, what's the point of calling it Black Tiger Hall without a black tiger?"

……

Zhang Ruochen walked all the way to the center of the town, but did not encounter a single black market warrior. He couldn't help but wonder if the information from the martial arts bank was wrong and the evil warriors of the Black Tiger Hall were not in Lingyue Town at all.

He turned his gaze in another direction and saw a man and a woman walking out of the street. After seeing their faces clearly, Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly under his mask.

"Why are they here?"

The two people walking towards them were Lin Chenyu and Lin Ningshan, both of whom were close to Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen's mother in this life, Concubine Lin, was from the Lin family. Lin Chenyu was his cousin, and Lin Ningshan was his cousin. The two had once been engaged, but of course, this engagement had long been invalidated. Now, Lin Ningshan had long been looking forward to marrying the seventh prince Zhang Tiangui, the number one genius of Yunwu Commandery, who was training far away in the Yuntai Sect.

"The group of spies hired by the Yuntai Sect are really useless. There is not even a ghost in Lingyue Town, let alone the evil warriors from the Black Tiger Hall." Lin Ningshan's complaining voice rang out on the bluestone street.

Lin Chenyu did not answer, his attention focused on Zhang Ruochen wearing the golden mask. Although his strength was not very good, he had been serving as a servant to Zhang Tiangui for many years, and his ability to read people's expressions had improved. He could tell at a glance that the masked man had an extraordinary background.

"Brother, we are cultivators from the Yuntai Sect. We have come to Lingyue Town to kill the evil warriors from the black market and the demonic cult. I would like to know your name and where you are from."

Zhang Ruochen's eyes were cold and he didn't want to have anything to do with Lin Chenyu and Lin Ningshan. He changed direction and was about to leave.

However, after he took a few steps, his whole body suddenly tensed up and he retreated back to his original position step by step.

As far as his eyes could see, a giant black tiger about ten feet tall with bloodshot eyes and a mouth full of steel teeth shining coldly was slowly walking towards him.
