Translator: 549690339 |
As Yang Zhen took the final step off the Serpent Road, he clearly felt a ripple in his Spirit Soul, a wave of dizziness washing over him. Startled, he quickly gathered his heart and mind, only to be shocked and dumbfounded the next moment.
As Hua Youyue stepped off the Serpent Road, she let out a low mumble and involuntarily gripped Yang Zhen’s arm, her expression filled with surprise as she gazed at the scene before them.
The Despicable Cat and Sao Saint seemed to be in a mad rush, rolling out together and immediately shouting, “Damn! What place is this?” A fairy palace! 1 Sao Saint shouted loudly, startling everyone.
The place they found themselves in was on the edge of a massive cliff. Not far away was a deep gorge, between two mountains where fairy qi swirled, beautiful as a heavenly palace. Various species of birds, the likes of which Yang Zhen had never seen, soared in the sky, their melodious cries echoing occasionally.
A layer of mist filled the air, the elemental energy between heaven and earth so dense that one didn’t want to exhale, lest they waste it. Within the vast mountain range, countless sect buildings were arranged in an orderly fashion, interspersed here and there, exuding a hard-to-describe feeling. It seemed like a kind of heavenly trigram or a seven-star arrangement, with each having a unique energy connection, making countless sect buildings seem as one. Aghast, Yang Zhen was taken aback. Such a formidable collection of buildings was almost impenetrable. Not to mention the existence of the Mountain Protection Array, just the energy connections between these buildings were enough to resist the force of annihilation.
“What…what kind of place is this?”
Yang Zhen stood in amazement, intensely shocked. This super sect was even larger than Turtle Serpent Island!
Damn, it’s a real eye-opener. There was such a vast sect in this world, but why does it not show any signs of life, could it be that everyone died?” Shouts of astonishment came from the side as more and more people emerged from the Serpent Road. Upon seeing this vast scene, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim aloud.
After hearing Yang Zhen’s words, Hua Youyue lightly tightened her grip on Yang Zhen’s hand, saying, “This is the ruins of the Ascension Era and it should have been a major power during that time. I just don’t know why it was abandoned.”
The despicable cat and Sao Saint somehow sneaked away without anyone noticing. After Mo Xueling arrived, she came up to Yang Zhen, her eyes filled with uncertainty and surprise as she said, “It’s completely different. Two years ago when I climbed Spirit Peak, it was just a dense forest. It is nothing like what we see now. This is the real Spirit Peak.”
Yang Zhen glanced at Mo Xueling, thinking to himself, of course it’s different.
If it were the same, this place would have been bustling long ago, and the news about the fairy palace ruins would have spread everywhere.
However, there was something strange about this place. Yang Zhen had a hunch that it harbored either deadly dangers or fatal information about the great calamity of the Ascension period.
Either way, it might not be a good thing for them!
The buildings of this sect ruins were all incredibly well preserved, with no signs of battle. Some even had enchanting sounds of fairy music still playing, and many arrays were still in operation. Clearly, this sect had already understood the way of eternal life.
How could such a sect end up as ruins? What insurmountable force could have caused this?
Damn it!
Yang zhen suddenly felt like peeling an onion, wanting to unravel this huge mystery one layer at a time.
Just then, Hua Youyue suddenly whispered in Yang Zhen’s ear, “Calm down!” Buzz–!
A rumbling sound echoed in Yang Zhen’s mind. His consciousness instantly cleared up, and he looked at Hua Youyue in surprise, asking, “What’s going on?”
Hua Youyue gave Yang Zhen a deep look and said with a smile, “The mystery of Ascension are no ordinary ones. Once one starts thinking about it, they risk falling into a crisis. Look at the others!”
With a hesitant look, Yang Zhen looked back and was immediately taken aback. Besides Mo Xueling and a few others, everyone else wore blank expressions- lost in their own worlds, with various embarrassing expressions on their faces. Some people looked fierce, some appeared lost, some were wringing their hands and drooling uncontrollably, while some were even involuntarily aroused without realizing it. There were even women with rosy cheeks, moaning as they fell to the ground.
How terrifying!
Yang Zhen felt a chill run down his spine. He turned to Hua Youyue and asked, “Was I acting like that just now?”
Taking a glance at Yang Zhen with a slight smile in her eyes, Hua Youyue shook her head gently and replied, “Just now, your face was full of murderous intent and I was afraid that you would destroy everything here!”
Yang Zhen gave a wry smile, saying, “Unexpected, very unexpected, let’s go in!”
Hua Youyue nodded, and the two leaped up, flying toward the mountain gate.
Mo Xueling and the others followed, about ten of them, landing inside the mountain gate. Their expressions abruptly became stunned.
This mountain gate was just like the one they had encountered in front of the
Sao Saint, but that one seemed like it couldn’t be opened, more like a decoration, while this one was open.
The grand opening of the mountain gate indicates that they are welcoming guests. Did this sect attract some kind of existence that could not be offended?” Mo Xueling asked curiously.
“We’ll find out if we go in!” Yang Zhen walked ahead with long strides, and the group didn’t even have time to stop him.
The Hongluan Spiritual Girl and Xiu’er looked at each other. At this moment, they were just like accessories. The things happening now had gone far beyond their understanding.
Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming followed behind with confused expressions, looking left and right from time to time, warily watching their surroundings.
By now, Yang Zhen had already entered.
Only after truly entering did Yang Zhen feel the vastness of this sect.
It was as if a boundless mountain had been converted into a sect.
Yang Zhen watched with hot eyes, mumbling, “Sooner or later, this Sao Saint will also build such a sect, no, one even bigger than this. I will then recruit countless disciples, ten thousand young girls, what a lively scene it will be….” “How many?” A soft voice sounded.
“Tens of thousands, not too many…” Yang Zhen answered subconsciously, then suddenly woke up to see Hua Youyue looking at him with a smile.
Yang Zhen uttered ‘huh,’ awkwardly hugged Hua Youyue’s shoulder, and said, “When that happens, you’ll bear me a hundred eighty little monkeys, and help me run the sect. We’ll be a match made in heaven!
Hearing this outrageous remark, Hua Youyue was stunned for a moment, then her face blushed, quickly moved aside, turned her head as if she hadn’t heard, holy as a fallen immortal, untouched by the mundane world.
Yang Zhen let out a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and began whistling as he looked around.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Yang Zhen decided secretly that next time he would think about such grand ideas of establishing a sect very quietly, and definitely not say them out loud.
Then, a twisting scream of despair came, “Wah, wah, wah, help, this little boy is going to die, save me, my tail has been caught by someone!”
Yang Zhen cheered! This naughty cat, always causing trouble, this time was just in time to just solve his pressing problem.
Hearing the cat’s cry, Hua Youyue’s face turned serious about she glanced at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen immediately put on a serious face, shouting, “My friend, naughty cat, calm down, this Sao Saint will come to save you, fast!”
After speaking, Yang Zhen disappeared with a whoosh.
Everyone was stunned as they watched Yang Zhen, then burst into silent laughter.
Hua Youyue’s lips curved up in a beautiful smile. Her face turned red, whether from remembrance or amusement, no one knew.
Just as everyone was perplexed, a voice suddenly came from Yang Zhen, thunderous and shocking, full of surprise.
Hua Youyue’s face changed, and she rushed toward the source of the sound. Seeing this, everyone else gasped and followed.
The place where Yang Zhen was, was a gigantic sect council hall thousands of feet high. Inside the hall, there were rows and rows of people kneeling, neatly lined up, amounting to thousands. Everyone’s head was lowered, and they had all turned into bones!
