Translator: 549690339
Upon hearing Hua Youyue’s words, Ye Zhiming and Bai Xuan immediately derived life’s three biggest philosophical mysteries.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I supposed to do?
Gu Langyun laughingly pointed at Hua Youyue and said, “Ah, Hua Youyue, who’d have thought that you, who used to be so pure and detached, would end up believing the words of a fool?”
The conniving cat watched Gu Langyun with scornful eyes, put his claw to his mouth, and hushed, “Can’t you shut up? You’re stealing the spotlight!
Yang Zhen was astonished and said, looking at the wily cat, “I’ve never taught you the phrase ‘stealing the spotlight,’ right?
The cheeky cat looked pleased as punch and replied, “How so? It’s a phrase I thought up myself!”
“You’re full of shit! You don’t even know what a play is!”
“Yeah, what is a play?” the cunning cat asked, truly curious, “You never explained it when you were sleep-talking.”
Yang Zhen paused, deciding not to talk to the manipulative cat for a long time. It was so smart, it even learned from his sleep-talking; this cat was beyond saving.
After he shot the tricky cat a look, Yang Zhen turned to Hua Youyue and asked,
“A single leaf can mend everything?”
“You also need the nourishment of Spiritual Essence Dew and the restoration of
the Companion Heavenly Fire!”
Yang Zhen then understood and looked at Hua Youyue, “Come here, little girl, open your mouth. I have something tasty for you!”
“Why is it a ‘stick’?”
Yang Zhen kept a serious face and replied, “I like that word!” Hua Youyue was visibly distressed by Yang Zhen’s statement, staring at him, she asked, word by word, “Do… do you really have the leaf of the Undying
Tree?”
Yang Zhen brushed the comment off, “Don’t be so dramatic, it’s just the leaf of the Undying Tree. If you want, this Sao Saint would gladly dig up the tree’s root
for you.”
“NO, no need!” Hua Youyue promptly shook her head, her face flushing as she leisurely opened her mouth!
Yang Zhen dared not be careless, as this was something related to the spiritual roots, and must be taken seriously. After he retrieved a leaf from his bag and said, “If one leaf isn’t enough, tell me. You two, go get the Spiritual Essence
Dew for me!”
Ye Zhiming and Bai Xuan seemed genuinely worried and excited, their eyes fixated on Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue.
Noticing Hua Youyue opening her mouth slightly, Yang Zhen flicked a nearly transparent leaf into her mouth, suddenly releasing an overwhelming vitality.
“Quick, boy, now’s the time!” The cunning cat screeched. Thus, Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming promptly passed the Spiritual Essence Dew to Hua Youyue.
-Leaf of the Undying Tree!” Gu Langyun suddenly shrieked, his sword in hand, dashing recklessly towards Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue, a terrifying wave of power burst out of him, intent on killing.
Everyone was shocked-nobody saw it coming-Gu Langyun’s sudden attempt to snatch the leaf of the Undying Tree.
Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming turned pale and roared at Gu Langyun, “Gu Langyun, you dare!”
Gu Langyun laughed triumphantly, “Why wouldn’t I? I was prepared for the disgrace and demise five years ago!”
Even before he could finish his sentence, Gu Langyun was already in front of Yang Zhen, the sword in his hand buzzing like a dragon, threatening to erupt in a whirlwind of destruction that attempted to strike them all.
“Die, all of you!”
Gu Langyun roared, the rainbow-like aura hanging in mid-air. However, moments after, his face suddenly paled, and he hurriedly attempted to retreat.
But just as he was about to turn tail, Yang Zhen glared, his bright eyes glinting as he extended his hand towards Gu Langyun, “Damn, you storm in so handsomely! It would be wrong of this Sao Saint not to give you a blast!”
Desolate Heavenly Skill!
Boom!
Raging waves of True Essence surged from all directions like a storm, congregating above Yang Zhen’s right hand, forming a terrifying vortex of
True Essence.
Above Yang Zhen’s right hand, a bright golden flame, invigorated by the raging True Essence, abruptly spread across everything, transforming into a fiery wave capable of annihilating anything in its path. It had condensed into a sphere radiating limitless power, appearing like a sun too hard to gaze at directly.
“Goodbye!”
Yang Zhen’s voice echoed under the stunned gazes. With a loud and earth-shattering boom, a violent shockwave surged in all directions. A monstrous shockwave of energy, reminiscent of an apocalypse, exploded between Yang Zhen’s right hand and Gu Langyun’s body.
The next moment, Gu Langyun’s scream abruptly halted. His entire body was violently thrust backward. Swift as a shadow, he vanished. Everyone’s eyes widened, unable to see where Gu Langyun had flown off to.
Pat!
A light sound, followed by the clanging noise, was heard. Gu Langyun’s forearm had fallen to the ground. The long sword held in his hand was flung far away, his palm still clenching and unclenching…
This…
All of them stared dumbfounded at the scene, as if they had been turned to stone.
Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming exchanged glances, both seeing disbelief in each other’s eyes.
Was Yang Zhen capable of sending Gu Langyun flying with just one slap?
Wasn’t that too exaggerated?
just how much power Gu Langyun gained after reaching the Divine Travel Realm, Ye Zhiming knew it all too well, his wounds were still bleeding.
But such a strong man was sent flying by a single slap from Yang Zhen, even tearing off an arm?
Gu Langyun didn’t come back for a long time, making it clear that he was either dead or severely injured, or perhaps he just didn’t dare to come back.
He didn’t even care about his sacred sword and arm?
Most importantly, on the finger of that severed arm was a storage ring.
It was deliberate on Yang Zhen’s part. This guy was definitely doing it on purpose!
While Gu Langyun certainly deserved it, the fact that Yang Zhen was able to retain an arm of Gu Langyun in such a situation made one wonder just how powerful Yang Zhen was?
He… he was only at the Nascent Soul cultivation stage, although he was just one step away from the Void Cultivation Stage, there was still a full Void Cultivation Stage gap between him and the Divine Travel Realm.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Yang Zhen behaved as though nothing had happened, and Hua Youyue seemed utterly unaffected. She suddenly exploded with life, her body shrouded in a green light that was both hazy and mysterious.
In midair, an ominous cloud had formed at some point. Thunder roared relentlessly within, and the rising and falling thunder dragons were almost visible to the naked eye.
Upon seeing this, everyone gasped in shock.
Ye Zhiming’s eyes widened. He looked at Hua Youyue with disbelief and yelled, “Are you crazy, Hua Youyue, trying to defy the heavens and change fate?
“What the heck? Defy the heavens and change fate?” Bai Xuan was startled. He looked at Hua Youyue with shock and said, “Do you have a death wish?” -What does ‘defy the heavens and change fate’ mean?” Yang Zhen looked at the two with a puzzled expression.
People still wanted to ‘defy the heavens and change fate’ nowadays?
Didn’t the practitioners here abide by the ‘flow with heaven’ principle? Why would they want to ’defy the heavens and change fate’?
Ye Zhiming took a deep breath and said, “Hua Youyue’s spirit root is damaged. After a long time, even if it’s repaired, it may not recover to its original level. Her talent would be greatly discounted. Of course, this is just a possibility, but I didn’t expect her to go against the heavens to alter her fate. She wants to completely shatter her spirit root with the leaf of the Immortal Tree and the Spiritual Essence Dew, and then re-cultivate it. This… this is almost like stealing life from the heavens. A slight misstep could invite heavenly tribulation, even take her life!”
“What?” Yang Zhen was taken aback, looking doubtfully at the dark clouds and lightning in the sky.
This little girl was indeed stubborn to a breathtaking extent. How dare she, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, attempt such a life-risking act?
It seemed as if Yang Zhen had forgotten his own desire to poke a hole in the sky with his middle finger.
Just then, Hua Youyue groaned with a pale face.
Everyone immediately sucked in a breath of cold air..
