Chapter 1161: Boundless Sacred Palace; The Battle Of Two Sects

"Zheng Rulai, my request this time isn't too excessive either. I merely ask that you let Luo Yunyang get some opportunities, that's all." Yuan Venerate Jinta's voice echoed from above the tall, lofty hall.

Zheng Rulai's expression stiffened after he heard what Yuan Venerate Jinta said.

It was not like he had not received any care from other seniors or elders during the time he had spent wandering and seeking success on his own in the past. Although Zheng Rulai was very upset about this request, he had no choice but to agree to it.

However, Zheng Rulai really didn't want to accept the request, even though this person's father was someone he admired.

"Can I refuse this request? Zheng Rulai answered straightforwardly.

Although Yuan Venerate Jinta was not one of the 12 Yuan Sages, he also had great influence in the Taixu Sect, as many people had to submit to his authority.

Still, the person that asked this question was Zheng Rulai. Yuan Venerate Jinta would never have been so polite with any other ordinary martialist.

Even so, Yuan Venerate Jinta still felt a little displeased. He eyed Zheng Rulai and said, "No."

"Zheng Rulai, I know what you want to say, and you must think that I am being unfair. However, I want you to know that I am paying this price on my own."

Yuan Venerate Jinta said icily, "You also know what happened. I really don't wish to get in too much trouble with that madman, so I have no other choice!"

Although Zheng Rulai's lips twitched, he could only reply respectfully, "I shall obey the command. I will not disappoint you."

Yuan Venerate Jinta had always had a good impression of Zheng Rulai. After being assured by him, Yuan Venerate Jinta smiled. "I feel at ease leaving you to handle this matter."

After he said that, Yuan Venerate Jinta raised his hand and a jade bottle flew over, landing gently in front of Zheng Rulai.

"These are Chaos Yuan Golden Dragon Pills. You might need them after entering Boundless Taixu."

Zheng Rulai was delighted. Chaos Yuan Golden Dragon Pills were considered a supreme treasure in the Taixu Sect. Although he could still obtain some with his current status, he would have to fork out quite a hefty price.

"Thank you, Uncle Master."

After seeing off Zheng Rulai, Yuan Venerate Jinta let out a gentle sigh. After all, this was something he had been unwilling to do.

There was a look of disdain in Zheng Ruliai's eyes when he left Yuan Venerate Jinta's palace. He felt deep disdain for Luo Yunyang.

No matter how strong Luo Yunyang's support was, he would still be a nobody if he did not have the necessary capabilities himself.

"Senior Brother Rulai, what can I do for you?" a scrawny man who came over asked Zheng Rulai.

This scrawny man looked very ugly even when he was smiling! The man actually knew that his smile was unsightly, but he still had to smile when facing Zheng Rulai.

This wasn't because Zheng Rulai liked his smile, but because his cultivation was much weaker than Zheng Rulai's. It would be disrespectful if he did not smile at Zheng Rulai.

He could not afford to offend Zheng Rulai, so he could only smile when he saw him.

Zheng Rulai said, "We must take care of Luo Yunyang this time!"

"Ha ha! Seems like Yuan Venerate Jinta is going to teach our little junior brother a good lesson," the scrawny man said icily.

Zheng Rulai shook his head and said, "You guessed wrong. We must really take good care of him. It would be best if we could help him find a treasure in Boundless Taixu that can be used instead of Dao Energy."

"Either that or let him obtain some of the fragments left behind by those ancient beings and allow him to condense his own Dao Energy. I have already agreed to the request."

The scrawny man was surprised, as he had never thought that things would turn out this way.

"Uncle Master Jinta is really..."

Although the scrawny man did not complete his sentence, Zheng Rulai knew what he was going to say.

Deep down, Zheng Rulai agreed with what the scrawny man was implying, but on the surface, he still needed to uphold the prestige of Yuan Venerate Jinta. Thus, he lowered his tone and said, "Don't spout nonsense. Uncle Master Jinta is trying to save our sect some unnecessary trouble."

The scrawny man was a little unsatisfied. "This time, the total number of Taixu Sect members entering Boundless Taixu is the same as the number of Dakongfan Sect members. However, we will definitely be at a major disadvantage during the final battle in Boundless Sacred Palace if we bring along such a burden."

"Our benefits from entering Boundless Taixu will be reduced greatly if we can't enter Boundless Sacred Palace!"

Zheng Rulai had also thought of this problem, but he had already promised Yuan Venerate Jinta. Furthermore, he was very confident in his cultivation.

"Don't worry about it. I'm in charge!" Zheng Rulai looked at the scrawny man and spoke resolutely.

The scrawny man sighed as he looked at Zheng Rulai and said nothing more. He knew very well that, given his position, it would be useless even if he said anything else. It was better to keep his mouth shut.

10 days later, all the disciples heading over to Boundless Taixu gathered outside a palace. Luo Yunyang did not want to wait so he arrived on the dot.

By the time he arrived at the palace, the other nine core disciples had already gathered. Among those core disciples, Luo Yunyang only recognized Huang Yue.

Huang Yue still seemed very angry with Luo Yunyang because Luo Jutian had rejected the arranged marriage. Upon seeing that Luo Yunyang was the last to arrive, she said with a huff, "How unruly!"

The expressions of the other core disciples turned even nastier as soon as she said that. After all, they had fought very hard for their slots while Luo Yunyang had obtained his by merely lazing around.

How could they consider this situation fair?

Luo Yunyang was cool in the face of these stares. He smiled gently and walked quickly over to Zheng Rulai's side before saying, "Senior Brother Rulai, Uncle Master Jinta said he will need to trouble you this time. He seems to have some complaints about you!"

Zheng Rulai's face darkened. How could he not see through this? Yuan Venerate Jinta definitely did not have any complaints about him. It was Luo Yunyang that Yuan Venerate Jinta had an opinion about.

However, when Luo Yunyang mentioned Yuan Venerate Jinta, he had no choice but to show respect. After all, he would still need the help of Yuan Venerate Jinta in the future.

"Junior Brother Yunyang, you are a little late. After entering Boundless Taixu, you will follow us. The other senior brothers and I will take care of you." Although Zheng Rulai was reluctant, he still gazed at the others with an intimidating look.

All the core disciples who loathed Luo Yunyang the most, including the scrawny man and Huang Yue, lowered their heads one by one when Zheng Rulai gazed at them. Although they were all chosen geniuses, Zheng Rulai alone was enough to suppress them all.

Luo Yunyang grinned when he saw that the rest had stopped talking. This time, he did not want to obtain merely ordinary benefits upon entering Boundless Taixu. He was hoping that he could obtain a supreme treasure that could deal with the being acting from the shadows when he returned to his own realm.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zheng!" After thanking Zheng Rulai, Luo Yunyang automatically found a spot for himself. While the others felt that he was merely a son that relied on his father, Luo Yunyang knew that he was his own man.

A man who did not like to act too ostentatiously.

"Zheng Rulai, since you are all here, let's go." A middle-aged man with an unadorned face who was missing an arm shot a glance at the group before waving his sleeves.

That simple action made Luo Yunyang feel as though the world around him had spun and the stars had shifted. In a matter of seconds, he had arrived in a colorful void.

Luo Yunyang had seen such colorful voids in the past, but this time, he immediately felt a surge of power coming at him the moment he landed. This surge was incredibly strong.

So much so that he felt that breathing had become somewhat difficult under this suffocating pressure. The Shattering Great Dao energy in his body had also been lowered to its limit by the extreme pressure of that power.

"This is Boundless Taixu, where many supreme beings have fallen. There are many supreme fragments inside, but don't be too greedy when you enter." The middle-aged man then said coldly, "Otherwise, don't even think about ever leaving this place."

After he said that, he flicked his empty sleeve and added, "See? This is what happened to me back then. However, I was much stronger than all of you, so I was still able to escape. Among you guys, no one can escape except for Zheng Rulai."

Then, he turned to look at Luo Yunyang and said, "I know about your father's hopes for you, but you should pay more attention. I don't want you to die in this place. If that happens, the Taixu Sect will have no choice but to invite one of the 12 Yuan Sages to deal with your father."

Luo Yunyang smiled at the simple middle-aged man and said, "I understand."

The middle-aged man did not have much to say to Luo Yunyang either. After hearing Luo Yunyang acknowledge this, he also stopped talking.

At the same time, a golden light began to fill heaven and earth. After the appearance of the surging golden light, a man with a round smiling face appeared in the void.

Luo Yunyang recognized that man immediately. It was Shao Fanzhu, the person he had threatened with his Six-Dragon Sun Striking Bow when Luo Jiutian had ascended to the Taiyi Yuan Venerate.

Naturally, Shao Fanzhu wasn't going to enter Boundless Taixu considering how high his cultivation was. Behind Shao Fanzhu were 10 towering, imposing powerhouses from the Dakongfan Sect.

Many of them immediately looked at Zheng Rulai when they appeared, as they had obviously regarded Zheng Rulai as their natural opponent.

Zheng Rulai, who was smiling wide, was at ease.

"Ha ha ha... Brother Xun, it's been a while!" Shao Fanzhu glanced at the one-armed man and spoke cheerfully.

However, before the one-armed man could speak, Shao Fanzhu turned toward Luo Yunyang.
