Translator: 549690339
Yang Zhen really hadn’t expected this inheritance that Hua Youyue spoke of to cause such a terrifying scene.
The horrific celestial phenomenon condensed in mid-air, darkening the sky as if the entire Forbidden Land of Life was boiling over. The booming divine chants reminiscent of the creation of the world echoed throughout the heavens and the earth.
Beneath the terrifying rolling waves, countless flower petals fluttered in the sky. Soon, they spread throughout the entire Forbidden Land of Life, transforming even Yang Zhen’s surroundings into a sea of blooms.
In the Forbidden Land of Life, countless practitioners, regardless of where they were or what they were doing, stopped abruptly. They raised their heads to gaze at the terrifying celestial phenomenon in mid-air, and then, as if driven mad, they all rushed towards the wooden house.
If anyone was to hover in mid-air at this point, they would see countless practitioners appearing like torrents, all rushing from all directions towards Yang Zhen and his group, faces filled with unparalleled fear.
This was definitely not a level of horror that a Saint-level inheritance would cause. Even Hua Youyue was shocked by the cataclysmic celestial phenomenon before her eyes.
Yang Zhen walked up to Hua Youyue, looked at her doubtful expression, took her hand, and said cheerfully, “Don’t worry, Miss. What’s there to fear? It’s not like the sky is going to fall.”
Hua Youyue’s expression relaxed slightly upon seeing Yang Zhen. She took a deep breath and nodded, “There seems to be some sort of change happening in the Forbidden Land of Life.”
Yang Zhen looked up at the flower petals raining from the sky and smirked, “We can’t get out anyway, and a change is better than no change. Maybe after you get this inheritance, we can leave.”
Before Hua Youyue could respond, Yang Zhen looked at her and said, “Come on, stop frowning. You don’t look good. How about a smile?”
Hua Youyue blushed slightly, avoiding Yang Zhen’s gaze, her eyes lowered in shyness. The tension on her face had completely disappeared.
“Can’t smile, eh…” Yang Zhen gently turned her face towards him, bared his teeth, and beamed at her, “Then, how about I smile for you?”
Pfft!
Hua Youyue giggled lightly, outshining even the rain of flowers in the sky.
Yang Zhen looked gratified and said to Hua Youyue, “See, isn’t this much better?”
Hua Youyue nodded, grasped Yang Zhen’s hand in return, and turned to look at the place where the terrifying energy was skyrocketing. Her robe fluttered wildly, her hair flying about.
Actually, at this moment, Yang Zhen himself was unnerved. Damn, this eerie place was becoming more and more peculiar. Such a horrific energy explosion; not to mention the Divine Travel Stage, even if the Tribulation Crossing Period came, anyone who touched that skyrocketing energy would only end up screaming before dying a tragic death. This was a kind of divine might, a horrific power that could move mountains and fill in seas.
More and more practitioners gathered here. Soon, Yang Zhen and his group were surrounded by a sea of people. Everybody was speculating uncertainly, all gazing at the valley not far away.
“What exactly happened here? Such a terrifying fluctuation, perhaps even the Tribulation Crossing Period powerhouses wouldn’t be able to approach, would they?”
“It’s not just about being unable to approach, I think this power is not much inferior to Heavenly Tribulation.”
“You can’t lump these two forces together—this must be some kind of relic or a forbidden restriction that’s erupting, or even an inheritance. But it’s unknown what kind of person could possess such a terrifying inheritance.”
“Don’t joke around. This type of inheritance is not something an ordinary practitioner could obtain. I heard that Ning Wuque of the Beigu Institute almost couldn’t bear a Mahayana Phase inheritance. Although he ultimately got it, he was gravely injured.”
“What?” A group of people all turned around in shock. “Ning Wuque obtained a Mahayana Phase inheritance, doesn’t that mean he’s broken through to the Tribulation Crossing Period?”
“Of course, you guys might not have seen it, but, at that time, the wild Heaven and Earth Power was unbelievable. Ning Wuque is indeed a prodigy. He withstood the bombardment of seven Heavenly Tribulation Thunderclouds by himself under such harsh conditions. After a narrow escape from death, he successfully crossed the tribulation and should have stabilized his realm by now.”
“I heard that Ning Wuque was severely beaten by Yang Zhen at the birthday banquet of the old Palace Master of Spiritual Studies Palace a few days ago?” “Hush, are you looking to die? Such matters should not be spoken casually. What if Ning Wuque heard you? Would you still be alive?”
“But it’s true that he was severely beaten by Yang Zhen.”
“That’s indeed an undeniable truth. However, I heard that Yang Zhen has also entered this Forbidden Land of Life, and Ning Wuque is currently looking for him!”
The buzz of voices around them was incessant; more and more practitioners gathered by the valley, looking intently at the small hut in the middle.
However, as the energy explosion had just begun, no one dared to approach it recklessly. What everyone could do was find a good strategic position and patiently wait for what would unfold. Over time, the atmosphere grew eerie, with everyone wary of the practitioners around them.
Yang Zhen, bored as he could be, whipped up a table and several chairs with a casual wave of his hand, and said to the two women, “Quit standing around, take a seat. No clue how long this thing will last. This Sao Saint is tired of standing.”
All those around gawked at Yang Zhen who had actually managed to produce a table amidst such tense circumstances. They stared at each other dumbfoundedly.
“Who is this guy, so arrogant that he actually brought out a table when all these people are standing?”
“My, how terrifying. This young man actually has two such beautiful women by his side. It really makes one envious.”
“Hey, look at that cat next to him, and that chicken!”
“Eh?” someone exclaimed, “Seems familiar. That guy… That guy looks like…”
Before the individual could recall it, a clear voice suddenly rang out from the side, “Yang Zhen, I knew I’d find you all here!”
“Yang Zhen!” the crowd gasped in unison, turning their eyes towards Yang Zhen with a puzzled look.
“Can’t believe Yang Zhen is actually here!”
“He is THE Yang Zhen? The one who badly beat up Master Ning during the birthday celebration at the Spiritual Studies Palace?”
In their shock, everyone looked over to the origin of the sound. Once again, two pretty women were approaching Yang Zhen, laughing all the way.
Su Yunlan and Tian Rou arrived hand in hand, smiling as they came up to Yang Zhen and glanced at Hua Youyue and Mo Xueling with weird expressions.
“You really do know how to enjoy yourself, and it seems like wherever you go, you catch everyone’s attention.” Su Dajia laughed happily. Without holding back, she sat down next to Yang Zhen, “Haven’t seen you for a few days and Flower Spirit Girl and Mo Lingnu are looking even better.”
Su Yunlan and Tian Rou were now disciples of the Spiritual Studies Palace. Yang Zhen was somewhat taken aback to see them and asked, “What brings you here?”
Tian Rou smiled sweetly and said, “Not just us, someone else is here too. Guess who, Brother Yang Zhen?”
“Who, how would I know?” Yang Zhen retorted, completely uncaring.
Su Yunlan looked at Yang Zhen, a smile playing on her lips, “She has a title. You must be quite familiar with it.”
“Huh?” Yang Zhen was taken aback. “A title I’m quite familiar with?”
“Yeah!” Tian Rou giggled, “In recent times, she’s made a name for herself in the Forbidden Land of Life. Many have fallen at her hands. Her swordsmanship is unparalleled, virtually no one can match her. She says she came here looking for you, just to have a contest.”
Yang Zhen’s eyes bulged in surprise, “The Little Taoist fanatic?”
Su Yunlan laughed, “So you do know her.”
Yang Zhen pursed his lips, saying, “So it’s that little lass. Didn’t think she’d come as well.”
Noticing the curious glances from Hua Youyue and Mo Xueling, Yang Zhen broke into a grin, “She’s a little girl from the Han Family of Ice Martial City, about the same age as you guys. Steadfast in her Taoist practice, she should be able to realize the Taoist details soon.”
Mo Xueling looked surprised. “It’s amazing that such a person exists. No wonder she’s referred to as the Taoist fanatic.”
Hua Youyue was about to speak when another earth-shattering roar rang out, “Yang Zhen!”
Yang Zhen jumped, “Damn it, who’s that? Why are you screaming like a banshee?”
