Chapter 447: Chapter 453 Big Fool Cheats Second Fool! (Third update)
Insiders see the essence of things, while outsiders just watch for fun.
Elder Qian and the others watched the terrifying shockwaves that were forming in mid-air with astonishment.
This type of phenomenon, induced by the sudden enlightenment, would only occur after someone understood the ultimate principles of heaven and earth and then entered the state of enlightened comprehension for the first time. Therefore, if Yang Zhen was practicing the Shangyan Ancient Scripture, this was definitely his first time.
Because even if it was the second time, nobody could cause this type of phenomenon unless they broke through to a new realm in the cultivation method, causing a small-scale phenomenon. But even then, it would definitely not be so terrifying.
Thus, even if the two elders of the Ke Clan and the saint were looking uncertain, even stating that what Yang Zhen was cultivating was not the Shangyan Ancient Scripture, everyone was sure that Yang Zhen was probably cultivating the Shangyan Ancient Scripture.
The two elders were just too cunning, especially that soft-skinned saint.
Not the Shangyan Ancient Scripture?
Were they just afraid that Yang Zhen would truly comprehend the Shangyan Ancient Scripture and make the Ke Clan people lose face?
These two guys, they came to an agreement in an instant, wanting to deny it till death. Impossible!
So many powerful elders were watching, it wasn’t up to the two elders or the saint to either admit or not admit.
Elder Qian chuckled and said to the two elders, “If this isn’t the Shangyan Ancient Scripture, then why can I feel the aura of the Shangyan Ancient Scripture in it?”
The Sha Clan Elder and the others also watched the two elders and the saint with schadenfreude, watching the show without worrying about making things worse.
The two elders and the saint looked at each other, all feeling speechless.
Damn it, you ask us, who should we ask?
Ever since the Ke Clan people obtained the Shangyan Ancient Scripture, many were able to cause a heavenly phenomenon when they practiced and comprehended it, but no one ever caused such a terrifying phenomenon.
The saint gave a bitter smile and explained to Elder Qian, “Elder Qian, to be honest, the Shangyan Ancient Scripture is just a saint-level cultivation method, how can it cause such a terrifying phenomenon? Can’t you see what the rank of the cultivation method that Yang Zhen is practicing is?”
“What?” Elder Qian and the others were shocked, “The Shangyan Ancient Scripture is merely a saint-level cultivation method?”
Just a saint-level cultivation method?
The saint felt like swearing. What’s wrong with a saint-level cultivation method? Is a saint-level cultivation method something common?
Even though the Shangyan Ancient Scripture is only a saint-level cultivation method, it is in no way inferior to your secret techniques, even those Xu-level Cultivation Methods. It could even be stronger than many of them.
If the Shangyan Ancient Scripture was an Xu-level Cultivation Method, would our Ke Clan still need to consider the Ancient Spirit Race?
We would have replaced them long ago!
The saint and the two elders exchanged a glance, feeling extreme regret. Every Ke Clan member felt very certain that if the Shangyan Ancient Scripture were an Xu-level Cultivation Method, the Ke Clan would have become one of the most powerful ancient clans long ago.
It’s such a pity!
The two elders and the saint looked up at the terrifying phenomenon in mid-air. The elder sighed and said, “Elder Qian, to be honest, even though I wish day and night that the Shangyan Ancient Scripture was an Xu-level Cultivation Method, it’s simply not!”
Saying this, the two elders glanced at Elder Qian with regret, and continued, “Although there is the aura of the Shangyan Ancient Scripture in this phenomenon, I’m sorry to say that Yang Zhen is not cultivating the Shangyan Ancient Scripture this time. He’s likely just referencing the content of the Shangyan Ancient Scripture to comprehend the Dao!”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression changed shockingly!
“Yang Zhen is just referencing the Shangyan Ancient Scripture and not cultivating it?” Elder Qian paused and asked, “So you mean that Yang Zhen is actually cultivating a powerful Xu-level Cultivation Method now?”
The two elders nodded. Although they gnashed their teeth, they were helpless. If someone else disdains their cultivation method, it’s their business. They even forgot that before they came, the two elders were still wondering whether they should try to retrieve the Shangyan Ancient Scripture from Yang Zhen’s hands.
“This bastard!” The saint cursed and suddenly exclaimed, “Two elders, like this, we don’t need to be afraid that Yang Zhen will leak the Shangyan Ancient Scripture. He is only referencing it, not really cultivating it, right?”
One of the elders laughed with relief and nodded, “Indeed, and it’s also fortunate that Yang Zhen is not cultivating the Shangyan Ancient Scripture. Otherwise, he might not be able to comprehend it at all, and his efforts would be in vain. It’s better to cultivate this Xu-level Cultivation Method, he’s quite a promising talent after all!”
Everyone nodded, looking as if they approved of Yang Zhen.
Jian Mao listened on the side with a puzzled look, muttering to himself, “What the hell, these idiots are fooling themselves while pretending to fool others. Amazing!”
Was Yang Zhen cultivating the Shangyan Ancient Scripture?
He was, and yet he wasn’t!
Even Yang Zhen himself hadn’t imagined that combining the mysterious contents of the Heavenly Book with the Shangyan Ancient Scripture would release such terrifying power.
After merging both, Yang Zhen almost instantly journeyed through heaven and earth, covering the entire Ink Pool Peak within his Divine Consciousness Space.
For a fleeting moment, Yang Zhen seemed to see through a thousand years of geographical alterations of the Ink Pool Peak, like clouds flowing across the sky and the sea turning into mulberry fields.
This gave Yang Zhen a feeling of surrealism. Had he not remained alert, he might have even thought he was dreaming!
Boom——!
Yang Zhen’s Divine Consciousness Space made a booming sound as an earth-shattering aura burst forth. After journeying through heaven and earth, Yang Zhen fell into the comprehension of the Heavenly Book and the Shangyan Ancient Scripture.
The Heavenly Book, which encompasses everything from the principles of the universe to the art of refining spiritual tools, leaves nothing out.
Added to the description of cultivation methods in Shangyan Ancient Scripture, Yang Zhen took only half a day to break through the Saint-level shackles of the Shangyan Ancient Scripture, reaching the Xu-level Cultivation Method!
Hence, what Yang Zhen was cultivating was indeed a Xu-level Cultivation Method!
The Shangyan Ancient Scripture still remained, it was just no longer a Saint-level Cultivation Method.
It’s not to imply that Yang Zhen outdid the Emperor Shangyan; enhancement and creation are different. The reason Yang Zhen could upgrade the Shangyan Ancient Scripture lay partially in his exceptional talent which naturally led to an understanding and generalization of many aspects. In addition, he had the Heavenly Book.
If the current Yang Zhen were to create a Cultivation Method, he wouldn’t even be able to produce a yellow-level one.
This was not due to limitations in talent, but because his understanding of the universe had not yet reached the level of creating Cultivation Methods.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and completely activated the Shangyan Ancient Scripture, which had already reached the Xu-level Cultivation Method.
Rumble——!
In the sky, a violent phenomenon took shape, abruptly forming a terrifying vortex. Endless Heaven and Earth True Essence energy surged from all directions, showering Yang Zhen like sweet dew, with the rumbling sound of the energy tide echoing endlessly.
The elders of the two tribes sighed with admiration, saying enviously, “As expected of the Xu-level Cultivation Method, it’s really terrifying!”
At this moment, everyone’s minds shuddered simultaneously as they turned to look. An overwhelming energy wave had erupted from Dao Chi, Tribulation Clouds enveloped the half-sky, accompanied by a menacing rumble, echoing the terrifying energy tide in the sky above the cave where Yang Zhen was.
“Crossing the Tribulation?”
Elder Qian stared at Dao Chi in surprise, and after a thoughtful glance, exclaimed in doubt, “Attaining the Dao through a human?”
Upon uttering this phrase, Elder Qian looked even more surprised, turning his head to look in the direction of Yang Zhen. In his understanding, there was an element of endless strangeness and curiosity.
“All those who are suppressing their realms, leave here now!”
Elder Qian ordered solemnly, giving the Thousand-Spirit Saintess a deep look.
Thousand-Spirit Saintess was taken aback, took a deep look at Dao Chi and turned to leave.
She had always been suppressing her realm. If she continued to stay here, it could cause a huge disaster. The simultaneous crossing of Tribulation by two people was truly terrifying, especially since her Heavenly Tribulation was unique!
Just as the Thousand-Spirit Saintess was about to leave, she suddenly looked startled and turned her surprised gaze toward Hua Youyue.
Hua Youyue looked at Dao Chi calmly, making a casual gesture. A water-like light shield enveloped Dao Chi, and the Tribulation Clouds in the half-sky became restless as if they had lost the trace of Dao Chi.
“Hold on, wait for Yang Zhen to cross the Tribulation. This is your fortune!”
Dao Chi, Han Yan’er, was taken aback, and she nodded.
Thousand-Spirit Saintess also shuddered, staring at the light shield enveloping Han Yan’er, and softly said to Hua Youyue, “World-avoiding Heavenly Garment, who are you?”
