The voice was distinct and pleasing, but carried within it an enigmatic and profound quality that seemed to come from all directions, leaving listeners unable to determine its origin.
Su Dajia and Tian Rou’s expressions changed simultaneously, standing on their flying boat, they looked around uncertainly, their faces filled with seriousness and concern.
Yang Zhen made a puzzled sound, shaking his head in the direction of the open air, he said, “All this Sao Saint did was tell the truth. Why don’t you believe me, miss? You should come down. Standing high up in the air like that must be tiring!”
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, Tian Rou and Su Dajia both gave a start, lifting their heads to gaze into the open air. But they saw nothing. They turned back to look at Yang Zhen, who was still smirking at some direction, making them hesitate.
There was nothing there!
“Huh?”
The person who had arrived was clearly a woman. She gave a delicate gasp, gradually revealing her figure, and looked at Yang Zhen with a strange expression, “How did you find me?”
“Senior Sister Ding!”
Su Dajia and Tian Rou both exclaimed, their faces beamed with joy as they looked at the woman suspended in mid-air. Not only had their worried expressions disappeared, but they now looked elated instead.
The woman addressed as Senior Sister Ding was a master of the Divine Travel Realm. However, she seemed extraordinarily powerful, Su Dajia, also in the Divine Travel Realm, couldn’t even begin to compare to her.
This was like comparing a simple cabbage to an exquisitely carved jade cabbage, there was no comparison at all.
Senior Sister Ding wasn’t very old, she seemed to be no more than thirty, but her aura was extremely steady, even to the point where Yang Zhen was taken aback. He hadn’t expected to find someone who’s aura was so stable.
Yang Zhen always intentionally suppressed his cultivation, fearing that his foundations would become unstable and cause trouble if they were too volatile. If he had indulged in gluttony and cultivated recklessly, given his talents, he would have probably reached the Tribulation Crossing Level by now.
But… he had no one to protect him from the law. This kind of force-feeding cultivation was simply a game of life and death when it came to crossing the tribulation. No, it was simply suicide!
Even the Sao Saint Yang was afraid!
The lady was different. Although she didn’t have the kind of stunning beauty that would tempt men to sin at first sight, her aura was one of the few that Yang Zhen had seen in his entire life. Of course, there was another lady who was almost like this one, except her aura and strength were a bit weaker, so it wasn’t as obvious. That was Mo Xueling of the Ink Pool Peak.
Could it be that these great sects have started to focus on foundational cultivation?
While Yang Zhen was examining Senior Sister Ding, she, too, was examining him. She slowly descended onto the flying boat, greeting Su Dajia and Tian Rou. The three of them immediately became engrossed in chatter.
Clearly they knew each other. Yang Zhen thus eased his worry. Otherwise, based on what he said earlier, he would probably have to fight with some disciple before even entering the Spiritual Studies Palace.
The three of them occasionally glanced at Yang Zhen. Especially Senior Sister Ding, whose eyes showed increasing amazement. She then slowly walked towards Yang Zhen and said, “You must be Mr. Yang Zhen. You are indeed extraordinary. But, about what you said earlier, it would be better if no one from the Spiritual Studies Palace heard it, lest it cause unnecessary misunderstandings.”
With a laugh barely hidden on her face, Su Dajia said, “Yang Zhen, you’re lucky to have run into Senior Sister Ding. If it had been other senior brothers or sisters, by now you would probably have been kicked out of the Spiritual Studies Mountain Range.”
Indifferent, Yang Zhen curled his lips, muttering, “One can’t even speak the truth!”
“You…” Senior Sister Ding glared but then broke into laughter, “Never mind, your talent is indeed outstanding. Also, I heard that you have also comprehended the Stellar Talent. You can be considered a rare genius. Let’s all go with me, the Palace Master’s birthday is approaching and we’re busy. Yunlan and Rou, you two will soon be joining the Spiritual Studies Palace, as such, you’re like half-disciple heirs. You can help us too!”
The two quickly nodded, Su Dajia’s disguise was now completely shattered, she was no longer the dignified lady she pretended to be. Instead, she turned into a quirky junior sister.
Su Yunlan, actually, it’s a good name!
For the next two days, Yang Zhen had almost travelled across the entire Spiritual Studies Mountain Range, the more he explored, the more he was able to feel the vastness and breadth of the Spiritual Studies Mountain Range. Moreover, the environment was beautiful, everywhere was filled with the rich Heaven and Earth True Essence, it made one linger on.
Simultaneously, Yang Zhen completely understood just how terrifying the influence of the old Palace Master of the Spiritual Studies Palace was. Over these two days, countless vessels descended from afar, landing in all corners of the Spiritual Studies Mountain Range. A diverse array of powerful figures had arrived, just the practitioners in the Tribulation Crossing Period alone, Yang Zhen encountered as many as fifty.
After returning from sightseeing that day, Yang Zhen unexpectedly met someone even more terrifying than those in the Divine Travel Stage, standing alone in mid-air, the surrounding air seemed to grow stagnant.
He was a middle-aged man, his face bearing a deep expression of melancholy, standing alone in the air, disregarding the gazes of everyone below, he glanced profoundly at the entire Spiritual Studies Palace, let out a deep sigh, and turned around to leave!
The peak of the Tribulation Crossing Period!
Celestial Being Realm!
The appearance of this powerful entity, almost drew everyone’s attention, everyone who was visiting the back hill was surprised at seeing this figure emerging, deeply shocked.
If the Divine Travel Realm is the boundary distinguishing whether one is a true powerhouse or not, then the Celestial Being Realm, was already an existence that surpassed everything in the world.
Like everyone else, Yang Zhen, wore an astonished look as he watched the middle-aged man sigh deeply in mid-air, his eyes sparkled with curiosity.
It’s said that the practitioners of the Celestial Being Realm could transcend as celestial beings, almost have an inexhaustible amount of Heaven and Earth True Essence, their casual gestures could move mountains and fill seas, with profound methods, they were rightfully regarded as great powers.
Such a figure, with just a casual sigh, could draw everyone’s attention, it was truly mind-blowing!
Yang Zhen marveled, turning back to his residence, he saw two seemingly distressed figures.
Su Yunlan, well, whatever, this woman was actually a drama queen, her whole body oozed acting. Tian Rou also wore a face of disappointment, appearing quite disheartened.
Yang Zhen curiously asked, “What happened, who upset you?”
Su Yunlan glared at Yang Zhen, snapping, “Why don’t you care about the birthday at all?”
Yang Zhen sneered, “Why should I care about it? Even if I don’t, it’s still going to take place. Unless not caring about the birthday means the Spiritual Studies Palace will not host it?”
Su Yunlan shook her head with a bitter smile, “It’s not about whether they are hosting it or not, with the arrival of the great powers, several high-standing seniors also have been arriving one after another, for this birthday… we… can’t attend it!”
“What?” Yang Zhen was stunned, “What do you mean we can’t attend?”
Tian Rou pouted, said unhappily, “We are not qualified to attend, even the birthday gifts for the old Palace Master were only sent up by minor disciples.”
Yang Zhen pointed to his own nose in astonishment, “The Sao Saint is also unqualified?”
The two were stunned, looking at each other, and then burst into girlish giggles, the atmosphere was immediately lively and warm.
Su Yunlan leaned on Tian Rou’s shoulder, panting lightly, said, “Predecessor Yang, can I ask if you have profound cultivation? Does a powerful sect stand behind you? Are you well-known in the Nether State? Or do you have any
extraordinary gifts to give the old Palace Master?”
“No… I don’t… don’t have…” Yang Zhen’s face grew more and more strange, he loudly cursed, “Damn it, what the hell is a birthday, The Sao Saint doesn’t care about it, I’m saying it now, if no one invites The Sao Saint today, The Sao Saint won’t go to that shit!”
