Chapter 315: Chapter 322: The Truly Major Sect! (Fifth update)
Translator: 549690339
If Cheap- Meow truly did convince the girl to attend the old palace maiden’s birthday celebration, no matter what, Yang Zhen knew he would have to take a look.
However, he would only be there to observe, just in case the girl and her companions didn’t show, or also went simply to observe. Yang Zhen truly feared that if he wasted any time, the girl could zip off and enter the Forbidden Land of Life, making it difficult to find her.
No matter how many people are terrified of that place, even if Yang Zhen was full of confidence, he dared not casually enter that place. Just hearing the name -Forbidden Land of Life-suggested it was something left over from an ancient period, certainly filled with eerie weirdness.
The Forbidden Land of Life was not a place where anything living couldn’t enter, but rather once one entered, they would die!
Given how weird it sounded, had the girl not mentioned that something she needed was in that place, Yang Zhen wouldn’t have bothered glancing at it. Seeing Su Dajia, whose character was already ruined, looking at him with a smirk, Yang Zhen scoffed, saying, “Don’t laugh with such wicked joy. I’m only attending the old palace maiden’s birthday to look for Cheap -Meow. Whether I find him or not, I’ll leave immediately, no matter what you think, don’t think too much!”
“Why?” Su Dajia asked, confused.
Yang Zhen blinked and asked, “Do you want the truth?”
Su Dajia’s eyes widened, “Of course!”
‘God is fair. You’re so beautiful, so don’t dream so beautifully too!”
Su Dajia was taken aback, her face reddened. Then she giggled, saying, “I’ll take that as a compliment from you!”
Yang Zhen waved his hand dismissively, and laying down on his bed, started to undress as he said, “I’m going to sleep. When it’s time to go to the old palace maiden’s birthday, just come and wake me up!”
“You…” Su Dajia and Tian Rou quickly averted their gaze. Before they did so, they glared at Yang Zhen and tersely said, “It is the Palace Master, not an old palace maiden. Once you are in the Spiritual Studies Palace, don’t spout such nonsense. You could be beaten to death!”
Yang Zhen scratched his back and said, “Alright, I got it. When you leave, be a darling and shut the door. And remember to knock before you come in. I’m the kind of person who likes to sleep naked!”
The two bolted out of the room, leaving behind a sweet, crisp laughter, clear and melodious like small bells.
Nobody could have predicted that Yang Zhen would sleep for three full days!
Even Yang Zhen himself had no idea. He was only a bit sleepy, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell into a deep slumber.
In his hazy state, Yang Zhen kept feeling as if something was flowing inside his body. The terrifying bursts of power rendered him drowsy and filled with pain. His whole body ached terribly, yet he couldn’t wake up.
Especially at night. The sensation of something flowing inside him became notably more intense. If not for the twinkling stars in the Divine Consciousness Space and the faint green glow emitted by the young sapling on the island in his spirit sea, which repaired and nourished Yang Zhen’s body, he might have forcefully broken through this barrier.
Damn, it was somewhat uncomfortable. However, he always felt content in the day, even to the point of moaning a bit. So he reluctantly accepted it.
How would Yang Zhen know that during his three-day sleep, he had given the residents near the bell tower quite a scare.
Every night, as long as there were stars in the sky, rainbow lights would emanate from near the bell tower, seemingly inhaling and exhaling, filled with an array of mysterious colors. It alarmed everyone. Numerous people came to investigate, yet no one could determine what the heck was going on.
During this time, Su Dajia frequently sat next to Yang Zhen’s room. Later, she clenched her teeth, pushed open Yang Zhen’s door, and sat at the edge of his bed, silently pondering over the celestial phenomenon that Yang Zhen had caused.
It wasn’t until the morning of the third day, when Yang Zhen suddenly rolled over in his sleep, that Su Dajia instinctively turned her head. Seeing that Yang Zhen was about to wake up, she cried out in surprise and ran out of his room in a hurry.
A moment later, Yang Zhen stretched luxuriously. His body creaked like firecrackers, and dark-gold inscriptions flickered on his body before being absorbed into it.
Upon seeing this, Yang Zhen paused, looked left and right, and then overjoyed. “Oh man, this is certainly good news. I didn’t expect this Stellar Talent to also refine my body. Combined with the Dragon Elephant Prison Shaking Body, this certainly buffs me up. Just wondering if it also improved my endurance in ‘that’!”
The door creaked open, and Tian Rou walked in looking perplexed. On seeing Yang Zhen sitting on the bed, she jumped excitedly and said, “Brother Yang, you’re really awake!”
What do you mean by ‘truly awake’? Have I ever ‘falsely’ awakened before?” Yang Zhen, taken aback, suddenly widened his eyes and stood up abruptly: “Somnambulism, did I sleepwalk?”
With a giggle, Tian Rou said, “You weren’t sleepwalking. Sister Su just said you’ve awakened and told me to inform you. I was a bit puzzled, wondering how Sister Su knew you were awake.”
“That’s called being in tune with the vibes! You’re too young to understand these things!” Yang Zhen ruffled Tian Rou’s hair.
Su Dajia, who was about to enter the room, tripped, shot a fierce glare at the door, and walked away.
A few days later, Yang Zhen stood on a flying boat, his face dumbfounded as he watched the scene before him, his eyes wide and speechless.
Thousands of vast mountain ranges, deep and bottomless, wrapped in mist, each radiated an immortal aura. Among them, spiritual birds with colossal wings crossed the sky, their piercing cries echoing across the heavens and earth.
Countless terrifying mountain waterfalls roared, with huge waterfalls like the Heavenly River crashing to the ground, creating a hundred-foot high spray of water and engulfing the surroundings with fog.
The landscape was grand and majestic, a spectacular range of mountains indeed.
Yang Zhen had always thought that Northern Island was a desolate place of ice and snow. Who could have imagined such a fairyland-like expanse existed here?
These mountains were more vast than any ranges Yang Zhen had seen before. In their unbroken chain, they exuded an immortal aura, thick with Heaven and Earth Qi, so intense it made one gasp for air, wishing for more mouths and noses to breathe in the rich Qi.
Just like Yang Zhen, Su Dajia and Tian Rou were amazed by the scene in front of them. Yet, compared to the two, Yang Zhen looked like a country bumpkin entering the Grand View Garden for the first time, his eyes bewildered.
“What the hell!”
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, expressing his amazement!
“This is the perfect place to establish a sect!” Yang Zhen lamented, “The founder of Shangyuan Sect must have had shit for brains. Why on earth did he choose that worthless place?”
Upon seeing this grandeur, Yang Zhen even thought about moving the entire Shangyuan Sect here. But, it was somewhat impractical, or perhaps Yang Zhen was overestimating his own abilities.
At that moment, a bell rang from the distance, resonating across the heavens and earth, startling countless birds into flight. Amid the flurry of mist, an unparalleled, grand sect appeared before Yang Zhen.
We re here!” Su Dajia exclaimed, her eyes fluttering with awe.
Yang Zhen murmured under his breath, “Damn, this is what a large sect looks like. All those I’ve seen before were child’s play.”
Tian Rou nodded and said, “This is the Spiritual Studies Palace, a sect in Northern Island that rivals Ink Pool Peak.”
Yang Zhen turned to Tian Rou and said, “Little girl, if you get the chance to enter a sect like this, you must practice diligently. This is where people should be.”
Tian Rou nodded and said, “I will!”
With a curious look, Su Dajia asked Yang Zhen, “What about you?” Flippantly, Yang Zhen replied, “Me? Do you think the Sao Saint needs to join a sect? Forget the Spiritual Studies Palace, even the Saintly Palace, the Imperial Palace, or the Divine Palace wouldn’t be able to teach me anything.” Just as Su Dajia was about to retort, her expression changed drastically.
“Fellow Daoist, you’re speaking big words there!”
A fleeting voice echoed from all directions, but the source of the voice was nowhere to be seen!
