“Damn it!”
Yang Zhen looked at the few people around him with a bewildered expression, growled, “First, wipe off your astonished faces. Who’s going to answer a few of my questions?”
The gentleman, with a seemly profound glance at Hua Youyue, took a deep breath. Even though he seemed to want to ask several questions himself, he still nodded and said to Yang Zhen, “Go ahead, lad. What do you want to’ know?”
Yang Zhen glared at the gentleman and said, “What the hell is the Spirit Road, and why were you all so shocked to see the young lady defy fate? And what on’ earth is the Heavenly Fragrance Holy Root…”
At this point, Yang Zhen quickly pulled over Ye Zhiming, who was still in shock, and questioned him forcefully, “What the hell happened all those years on the ’ Spirit Road? Who was it that was so arrogant to dare to damage the young lady’s spirit root?”
After firing off a series of questions, Yang Zhen took a deep breath, leaned back, and said, “I’ve asked my questions. Now it’s your turn. If you have anything you want to ask, fire away!”
Bloody hell, this world is becoming more complicated. Yang Zhen suddenly felt as if he was utterly clueless.
Living an authentic life is quite difficult. In his previous life, the various rules of the blue planet left Yang Zhen in tatters. Although he was doing quite well, the numerous constraints made him miserable and utterly exhausted.
After arriving in Nether State, Yang Zhen swore to himself that he would live life as he wished. If he didn’t like someone, even if they were a saint or an emperor, he dared to kick their ass.
All along, Yang Zhen had been doing exceptionally well. Other people’s suffering was their own problem. If they couldn’t take care of themselves and blamed him for being too cunning, was there any justice left in the world? These high and mighty people, which one of them wasn’t cunning? Compared with those people, Yang Zhen was practically a saint.
But just when Yang Zhen thought he was having the time of his life, he suddenly heard something about the Spirit Road. It seemed as if not experiencing the Spirit Road was synonymous with an imperfect life.
What the hell was that supposed to mean?
Hua Youyue was incredibly talented, yet even she, with her injured spirit root, gave Yang Zhen quite a scare. Despite having such a strong talent, she suffered severe injuries on the Spirit Road, was defeated many times by an opponent, and ultimately never reached the so-called Spirit Peak.
How mighty was that opponent? How strong was their spirit root?
Hua Youyue, Bai Xuan, Ye Zhiming, and even that girl in purple who was also called the Water Moon Spirit Lady, all seemed like energetic young geniuses who had left legends in their wake on the Spirit Road.
Thinking about this, Yang Zhen suddenly had an urgent desire!
To take the Spirit Road!
To find the youngster who had once driven Hua Youyue to a dead end on the Spirit Road and make him understand the meaning of heaven’s indifference to his cries and earth’s deafness to his call.
At this moment, the gentleman smiled and said, “Let me explain what the Spirit Road is to you.”
Beyond the East Sea, atop a mountain peak, there is a mysterious place known as the Spirit Road.”
Under the gentleman’s explanation, Yang Zhen finally understood the true nature of the Spirit Road.
The so-called Spirit Road was actually Mount Sumeru, perched above an isolated peak beyond the East Sea. Every now and then, it would open its gates to the echoing sounds of celestial music, celestial phenomena, and numerous talented disciples from all the great lineages of the Nether State. They would gather together to compete fiercely for the chance to reach the top of Spirit Peak.
With a touch of melancholy, the gentleman said, “Mount Sumeru has inherited countless years. It is said that there were once lineages with thousands of years of inheritance that visited this place, but they still haven’t found any existing clues or discerned where Mount Sumeru came from.”
“Thousands of years of inheritance?” Yang Zhen was startled and asked with wide eyes, “Wait, if there are lineages with thousands of years of inheritance, don t they know what happened a thousand years ago?”
The gentleman seemed surprised, “You know about it too?”
Yang Zhen rolled his eyes, “Isn’t this common knowledge now? What actually happened?”
“I don’t know!” The gentleman’s curt answer made Yang Zhen want to curse.
“Didn’t you just mention lineages with thousands of years of inheritance?” Yang Zhen glared at him.
The gentleman nodded seriously, saying, “The lineages that were created after the Great Heavenly Calamity fall around that timeframe.”
Bloody hell!
“What on earth is in the Spirit Road?” Yang Zhen asked curiously. He needed to talk to the young lady about this.
Hua Youyue smiled and said, “Everyone who enters the Spirit Road encounters different surroundings. Some see an icy expanse of snow, others an intensely hot desert, still others hills where gusty winds sweep the skies or even underwater worlds!”
“So how did you all come together?” Yang Zhen asked excitedly.
In the Spirit Road, it’s best to travel in company. If we encounter other practitioners, as long as there isn’t a deep grudge, it’s best to unite. Otherwise, it would be hard to pass various trials.”
Yang Zhen nodded, looking at Hua Youyue, he asked word by word, “What happened that year? Who was so brutal and almost destroyed your foundation?”
Hua Youyue paused, laughed, and said, “It was because of a Heavenly Sacred Scale!”
“Who hurt you?”
“Lin Tianli!”
“Girl, Sao Saint will take you to kill!”
Everyone was looking blankly at Yang Zhen, seeing him truly standing up, taking Hua Youyue’s hand and walking out, even Hua Youyue looked at Yang Zhen blankly, letting him take her hand.
“Boy, what are you doing?” Elder Gu asked in surprise.
“Owing money and repaying it is only fair. That Lin whoever owed the girl a life, can’t I collect it?”
This…
Everyone was dumbfounded!
It didn’t seem wrong, but when they thought about it again, it seemed wrong everywhere.
Ye Zhiming’s eyes lit up, looking excitedly at Yang Zhen, he asked, “Are you really going to the Spirit Road?”
Yang Zhen sneered, “Haven’t you two been planning on me for a while?”
Ye Zhiming was embarrassed, and said, “How can you say it was a scheme? We just feel that with your talent, it’s a pity not to go to the Spirit Road.”
“What exactly is on that Spirit Peak?” Yang Zhen asked.
“I don’t know!” Elder Gu’s answer was as straightforward as ever.
Yang Zhen rolled his eyes, about to speak, but Elder Gu solemnly said, “It is said that there’s a method on Spirit Peak to defy the heavens and change one’s fate, capable of aggregating a Heavenly Destiny Spirit Root from previous aeons!”
“What?” Yang Zhen was taken aback, looked at Hua Youyue and asked, “Is your Heavenly Fragrance Holy Root, a Heavenly Destiny Spirit Root?”
Hua Youyue nodded and showed a slight smile.
His!
It was terrifying!
Yang Zhen looked at the three old men in astonishment. No wonder these three old men were so surprised.
The girl was really extraordinary. She had actually consolidated a Heavenly Destiny Spirit Root. And, it was consolidated outside the Spirit Road. That is to say, the girl didn’t return empty-handed from the Spirit Road.
Yang Zhen was amazed, ignoring Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming on the side, who were already stunned. He muttered to himself, “I wonder if this fine and large spirit root of Sao Saint is a Heavenly Destiny Spirit Root.”
Hua Youyue laughed and said, “If you want to go to the Spirit Road, can you wait for me for a month?”
Ye Zhiming and Bai Xuan were stunned, their eyes flashed with excitement, and they looked at each other, both seeing the excitement in each other’s eyes.
With Hua Youyue’s words, it was enough to prove that she wants to venture into the Spirit Road again!
Yang Zhen curiously asked, “Why do you have to wait a month?”
I need to practice!” Hua Youyue said these four words very lightly, but anyone could see her pride and determination from her eyes.
“Lin Tianli is in trouble!” Ye Zhiming muttered to himself.
