Chapter 203: Chapter 200: The Flower Spirit Girl who Once Topped the World 1 (Second Update)
Translator: 549690339
The events at the Sea Dragon Pool have completely stirred up the Coast of the
East Sea.
When landing on Emperor Island, Yang Zhen used a disgusting giant centipede to kill Elder Yang of Mount Hua Blessed Land.
Upon reaching Emperor Island, Yang Zhen bluffed his way around, and for an unknown reason, colluded with the Sea Dragon Clan. He got the clan’s leader to thrash Elder Qui from Mount Hua Blessed Land. Even if Elder Qui fully recuperated, he’d end up toothless in his old age.
Later, Yang Zhen rectified the chaos single-handedly by exposing Wan Tianchen, the chief culprit of the conflict between the Sea Dragon Clan and humans—also a disciple of the Mount Hua Blessed Land.
Almost all members of Mount Hua Blessed Land were offended by Yang Zhen.
After Yang Zhen had settled the quarrel between the two races, he used a totem called ‘Peppa Pig’ to open the tunnel from the Sea Dragon Pool to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea. Led by an elder from the Sea Dragon Clan, they traveled to the true legacy left by the Eastern Desolation Emperor.
Various legends made Yang Zhen a well-known figure along the Coast of the East Sea, and all were talking about him. Anyone who heard the news flocked to Wanhua Island.
Within just two days, an increasing number of practitioners had gathered at the Sea Dragon Pool, and the legends about Yang Zhen became increasingly baffling.
Some believed Yang Zhen was the reincarnated Eastern Desolation Emperor who had only come to the East Sea to fulfill a long-standing wish. Others claimed him to be a generational successor to the Eastern Desolation Emperor. Why else would he know so many secrets, be on good terms with the Sea Dragon Clan, and even help them to open the East Sea Dragon Palace, fulfilling a ten-thousand-year-long wish?
One of the more absurd rumors suggested Yang Zhen was from the Sea Dragon
Clan and had cultivated into a human form.
In conclusion, the stories about Yang Zhen were diverse and increasingly far-fetched.
Until one day, a group of people arrived at Wanhua Island, causing an even bigger stir.
The group was led by a youth in his twenties-elegant and dressed in snow-white clothes. His nonchalant demeanor carried an inherent sense of pride.
Wherever he went, he significantly lowered the surrounding temperature, an indication of his impressive cultivation.
Within no time, the identity of the youth became a topic of speculation among all practitioners on Wanhua Island.
Amidst the conjecture, the youth led his fellow disciples straight to Wanhua Island and walked toward the Sea Dragon Pool.
“This young man must be here for Yang Zhen. It’s so odd that despite the huge crowd on Wanhua Island, nobody knows where they are from.”
“You all don’t need to guess; you won’t figure it out. Do you know why our Yang Zhen took the limelight during the Wanhua Island trial while so many great sects did not send their disciples?”
“Isn’t Mount Hua Blessed Land a great sect? Yet it still fell under Yang Zhen’s hand.”
“Humph, Mount Hua Blessed Land, although it’s a member of Cave Heaven Blessed Land, it lacks foundations compared to the truly powerful Cave Heaven Blessed Lands. For this trip to Wanhua Island, do you know that Bai Xuan was
here too?”
-What, Bai Xuan? The Bai Xuan from Heavenly Mystery Cave Sky? Why didn’t we see him?”
“Given Bai Xuan’s strength, even with Yang Zhen’s numerous methods, how could he outshine everyone on Wanhua Island? The reason you didn’t see Bai Xuan is that he left suddenly!”
“Why did he leave suddenly? Could it be because of… this youth in white?” “Exactly, this youth in white calls himself a descendant of the Eastern Desolation Emperor. He is Ye Zhiming, a disciple from the East Desolate Sect!” “East Desolate Sect, oh my God, this legendary sect does exist! And its disciple appeared on Wanhua Island. Did they come because of the Eastern Desolation Emperor’s legacy?”
Ye Zhiming’s origins were mysterious. He claimed to be a descendant of the Eastern Desolation Emperor. This explained how he, at such a young age, had broken through to the Divine Travel Stage. The skills of the Emperor were indeed extraordinary.
For a moment, all the practitioners’ attention turned to Ye Zhiming. There was a young woman standing beside him, both seemingly about the same age. The woman, covered with a black veil, revealed her cultivation level to be astonishing as well, astonishingly being just a step away from advancing to the Divine Travel Stage from the Void Cultivation Stage.
The appearance of these two youthful powerhouses brought a visible shock to Wanhua Island. Yang Zhen had not yet emerged from Dragon Palace of the East Sea. Some speculated that Yang Zhen was currently cultivating in the secret inheritance of the Eastern Desolation Emperor and, the moment he emerged, he would definitely be on par with Ye Zhiming. Both would contend for the title of the Eastern Desolation Emperor’s successor with the winner obtaining sole rights to his secret inheritance.
Others said it was better that Yang Zhen stayed hidden; once he appeared, he would surely be killed by Ye Zhiming, the successor to the Eastern Desolation Emperor. There were those who claimed to have seen a look of disdain and arrogance flash in Ye Zhiming’s eyes at the mention of Yang Zhen’s name.
Obviously, both were destined to be incompatible.
A Divine Travel Stage practitioner in their early twenties has sufficient grounds for arrogance and haughtiness.
The successor of the Eastern Desolation Emperor who was currently the talk of the town sat curiously yet nostalgically by a vermilion wood table, somewhat lost in thought as he stared at a young woman across him.
“Flower Spirit Girl, tsk tsk, Flower Spirit Girl, I never imagined that your cultivation has made no progress these years. The once brightly shining Flower Spirit Girl has now degenerated into such a state?
Ye Zhiming truthfully sighed, he furrowed his eyebrows from time to time, only opening his mouth after a while to continue speaking. “You know, we practitioners move along with heaven and act according to its path. Life and death are natural courses. Why are you so obsessed with being in that state and refuse to step out of it?”
Hua Youyue’s side, Bai Xuan scoffed, saying, “Ye Zhiming, did you run all the way here just to talk nonsense? Don’t you know why you, Ye Zhiming, are so decisive in your path?”
As he spoke, Bai Xuan’s eyes darted aside, grinding his teeth before saying. “Without Senior Sister Hua’s sacrifice back then, we would have likely died on the Spirit Road already. We definitely wouldn’t have had your present glory of being the Eastern Desolation Emperor’s successor, Eastern Desolation’s Spirit Child Ye Zhiming.”
Ye Zhiming laughed lightly, glanced at Bai Xuan, and the woman beside him, who was staring at Bai Xuan said, “Bai Xuan, you know that is not what Senior Brother Ye meant. Over the years, to restore the Flower Spirit Girl’s spiritual root, Senior Brother Ye has entered countless forbidden mountains.”/?
“What!” Bai Xuan trembled all over, looking incredulously at Ye Zhiming.
Ye Zhiming sighed and looked at Hua Youyue: “Alas, I couldn’t find the Everlasting Tree. You used to outshine everyone. Even though your spiritual roots were damaged, you should not have become this decadent. You have somewhat disappointed me.”
Hua Youyue jolted and her eyes flashed a complex look, but then she showed a sudden smile, saying, “I’m very good now, you guys don’t have to feel guilty. It was my stubbornness back then…”
-What stubbornness?” Bai Xuan sneered: “Senior Sister Hua, you were the only one who could escape from there, but to save us, you damaged your spiritual root. Nothing other than the Everlasting Tree could save you. Over the years, who among us hasn’t thoroughly searched the forbidden mountains for it? Yet… the Everlasting Tree is too rare, there is only one in the whole world. We don’t even have a trace of its whereabouts.”
Hua Youyue laughed and glanced at Bai Xuan, “I told you, I’m doing well now!” Her soft tone was filled with undeniable obstinacy and stubbornness. Ye Zhiming let out a bitter chuckle, tsking in amazement, “You are still the same proud and arrogant Flower Spirit Girl. No matter how much you change, the stubbornness in your bones won’t.”
Startled, Hua Youyue muttered to herself, “Maybe.”
Ye Zhiming sighed again and suddenly asked, “By the way, who is Yang Zhen? Why have people here been spreading rumors that we’re fated enemies?” Bai Xuan chuckled and looked mockingly at the bewildered Ye Zhiming, “Isn’t it because you always go around claiming to be the successor of the Emperor? Speaking of which, Bai Xuan muttered something that only Hua Youyue could hear. He called Ye Zhiming a ‘show-off’. This was a phrase he had learned from
Yang Zhen.
Thinking of Yang Zhen, Hua Youyue’s mouth revealed a trace of a smile, which stunned both Ye Zhiming and Bai Xuan.
The veiled woman’s expression tightened as she intently looked at Hua Youyue, “It seems this Yang Zhen is extraordinary. The once-famed and universally admired Flower Spirit Girl has never shown such an expression before.
“Kerchoo!”
Yang Zhen rubbed his nose, looking at the increasingly smaller exit of the secret storeroom behind him, he muttered to himself, “Who was that old hag badmouthing me again?”
