“Go to Spirit Road!” Yang Zhen said decisively.
Despite their acquaintance, Yang Zhen couldn’t just stand by and watch Hua
Youyue leave.
What the contemptuous cat said was speculation. From Yang Zhen’s experience of having read various novels, biographies, and even major TV dramas, it could be something else, such as… Hua Youyue being possessed?
If it were indeed the awakening of an Ancient Bloodline that caused a drastic change in Hua Youyue’s character, it wouldn’t make her forget Bai Xuan and Water Moon Spirit Lady. After all, they had shared life and death situations.
No matter what the reason was, Yang Zhen couldn’t suppress his curiosity. He wouldn’t sleep well unless he figured this out.
The contemptuous cat curled its lip, glancing at Yang Zhen, and said: “Dude, if it’s true that the young lady has awakened the Ancient Bloodline, you’d better stay away from her.”
“Why so?” Yang Zhen paused, asking curiously.
For some unknown reason, when he heard the contemptuous cat’s words, Yang
Zhen felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Damn it, do I need to choose friends based on circumstances?
Yang Zhen was a stubborn donkey. If he liked somebody’s character, he would become friends with them even if they were a big demon. Yang Zhen would still swear brotherhood with them.
Now hearing the contemptuous cat telling him not to get too close to Hua Youyue, Yang Zhen did not fly into a rage on the spot, indicating excellent selfrestraint.
Even so, Yang Zhen was glaring fiercely at the contemptuous cat, ready to beat
it up at any hint of nonsense.
Damn it! Only the Sao Saint himself could cause trouble. Who dared to tell the
Sao Saint what to do?
The contemptuous cat seemed a bit scared by Yang Zhen’s look and said angrily, “What kind of look is that?”
“Spit it out!” Yang Zhen’s eyes grew bigger.
The contemptuous cat curled its lip and said, “You scared me and I forgot something. I need something good to eat… Let go, let go if you dare, I’ll fight you!”
Yang Zhen grabbed the contemptuous cat’s tail, swung it around several times, and threatened fiercely, “Are you going to tell me, or not?”
“I’ll tell, I’ll tell… Just let go, I feel dizzy…”
Yang Zhen threw the contemptuous cat to the ground. After tumbling several times, the cat refused to land on its four feet. It was an odd sight indeed. Finally regaining its equilibrium, the contemptuous cat took a deep breath and said: “Once an Ancient Bloodline is awakened, it’s like entering into an ancient tradition. These people are all cursed, and even though people call it Heavenly Fate Bloodline, it brings misfortune and disaster…”
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen cursed and said irritably, “I thought it was a big deal. It’s just that? Bringing disaster is nothing. Don’t you know that this Sao Saint’s luck is off the charts?”
“What does ‘off the charts’ mean?” asked the confused contemptuous cat. Before Yang Zhen could answer, it scoffed and said, “No matter how good your luck is, your strength is still there. Can you withstand Heavenly Punishment?” Seeing Yang Zhen about to speak, the contemptuous cat waved its hand and said, “Even the Great Saint doesn’t dare to get close to those who have awakened the Ancient Bloodline. Do you think you are more awesome than the Great Saint?”
Damn it!
Yang Zhen was dumbstruck.
The Great Saint can be screwed over?
This Ancient Bloodline is really over the top!
Seeing Yang Zhen’s flabbergasted expression, the contemptuous cat curled its lip, looking pleased with itself, and said, “Now you know how powerful it is, right? The Ancient Bloodline is a being that Heaven and Earth cannot tolerate. Even if you’re just near them, you could get struck out of the blue by lightning, and it’s a sudden lightning strike that cannot be evaded. Plus, you love to show off…”
With a gloating face, the contemptuous cat chuckled, squinting at Yang Zhen and said, “What was that phrase you said? Don’t show off, or you will be struck by lightning… Damn it, what kind of look is that?”
The contemptuous cat looking at Yang Zhen’s increasingly bright eyes, its fur stood on end.
Yang Zhen cackled and glanced at the sky, speaking with an eager expression, “I like this idea, the chance to defy nature, and change fate. The last time it wasn’t satisfying enough, the heavenly tribulation disappeared too soon. Now that I have a method to conjure lightning, it saves me the trouble of painstakingly cultivating my realm.” The contemptible cat stared at Yang Zhen in disbelief, shaking its head, “I admire you!”
“I’m unworthy!” Yang Zhen roared with laughter, slapped Ye Zhiming s shoulder, and asked, “Buddy, you know how to get to the Spirit Road, right?” Ye Zhiming looked perplexed, he nodded his head and exchanged glances with Bai Xuan and Water Moon Spirit Lady. They all peered at Yang Zhen as if he were crazy.
Along the way, Yang Zhen had a broad understanding of the Ancient Bloodline. The contemptible cat said that it originated from an ancient era, there was once a race called ‘Gu’, many within this race could awaken the Ancient Bloodline. However, the awakening chance was inherently slim and there was a disparity in strength levels, hence, the extent to which Hua Youyue had awakened remained uncertain until they met her.
“We are approaching the Haidong Domain!” Ye Zhiming pointed at the continuous mountain ranges and said.
Yang Zhen looked up and was instantly taken aback.
Gazing into the distance, the East Sea Domain resembled a gigantic beast, curled up on the ocean’s surface, stretching endlessly to the horizon. What surprised Yang Zhen was, the Heaven and Earth’s True Essence within the East Sea Domain seemed extremely dense, many times denser than that of White Cloud Mountain.
After accessing the East Sea Domain, Ye Zhiming, Bai Xuan, and Water Moon Spirit Lady exchanged puzzled glances.
“Did we came too early? Why is this place so quiet?”
Yang Zhen curiously scrutinized his surroundings and turned to ask Bai Xuan, “What kind of scene should we be expecting here?”
Bai Xuan solemnly replied, “A sea of people. An endless crowd.
“Unless…” Water Moon Spirit Lady’s countenance changed, she asked, “Unless the Spirit Road has already been opened!”
“What?” Yang Zhen’s eyes widened in surprise, “Don’t you know the opening time of the Spirit Road?”
Upon reaching the rich and vibrant foothills, towering trees and strange boulders surrounded them. Occasionally, enormous winged beasts sounded their piercing shrieks across the sky.
Not far ahead, arranged in a jumbled order were rows of buildings, filling the view with a sense of grand simplicity.
However, the streets were scarcely populated, making it look somewhat desolate.
Hearing Yang Zhen’s comment, Bai Xuan smiled and said, “There’s half a year left till the next opening of Spirit Road. However, the timing is somewhat uncertain; it could open tomorrow if someone is willing to pay a hefty price. After all, some prodigies don’t wait for the right moment.
Ye Zhiming nodded, adding, “That’s why Lingyuan City is congested at all times. Even if people know the Spirit Road is not due to open, practitioners from all around the continent would linger here. Be it for cultivation or obtaining resources, this city is the most comprehensive and safe.” “Oh?” Yang Zhen was taken aback, and asked, “Is fighting prohibited here? Ye Zhiming shook his head and said, “On the contrary, resolving issues with brute strength is highly encouraged. Thus, the living quarters here are pretty shabby and disorderly.”
Yang Zhen could not help marveling, he asked, “If everyone’s encouraged to settle things with fists and fights, why’s this place considered safe?” Water Moon Spirit Lady chuckled, she said, “Because there are five powerful practitioners in the Tribulation Crossing Period maintaining the peace, and the unforgivable misdeeds here are those who bully the weak.
“Tribulation Crossing Period?” Yang Zhen was startled. Tribulation was synonymous with lightning.
Seeing the sparkling lights in Yang Zhen’s eyes, the contemptible cat was taken aback. It shrieked in surprise, “Kid, you didn’t turn stupid from the lightning, did you?”
Boom– !
Just as the contemptible cat finished speaking, a thunderous sound echoed through the sky. Everyone looked up in astonishment, a figure fell from the sky, screaming continually as it crashed into the ground.
