Chapter 471: Chapter 477 What is a True Genius? (First Update)
The so-called Sealed Land was actually an extremely powerful enchantment, but this formation was indeed laid down by several Saints at the cost of their own lives, and it lasted for tens of thousands of years unceasingly.
The Sealed Land took the heaven and earth as the board, all things as the pivot, Heaven and Earth True Essence as the measure, following the path of creation, it actually refined the entire ruins into another heaven and earth.
Standing next to the Sealed Land, Yang Zhen couldn’t help but sigh, these Saints were really fucking obstinate, paying with their lives just to refine and seal such a huge ‘city’. How much grief and resentment did they have?
Time is a butcher’s knife, what grievances couldn’t be resolved by time?
Ten thousand years, those past grudges and hatred, the deceased also died several rounds, what else was there to seal?
Yang Zhen shook his head: “Alas, this Sao Saint is too soft-hearted!”
Hearing Yang Zhen’s words, the nervous crowd nearly spat out blood, looking at Yang Zhen with bewildered faces.
Damn, we’ve all been with you here for a long while, and this is the deep sigh you’ve suppressed?
Get on with breaking the formation!
Yang Zhen turned his head and said seriously: “I’m sorry, this Sao Saint is just this kind of sentimental person. Seeing this Sealed Land, I can’t help but feel so depressed. I’ve made a fool of myself in front of you all!”
Eyelid twitching from the crowd.
Why are you being so melodramatic?
But this wasn’t Yang Zhen putting on a show, but his genuine feelings.
With his insights into the Ksitigarbha Chapter of the Heavenly Book, the view of a thousand years, the changes in heaven and earth like the sea and mulberry field, provided countless inspirations to Yang Zhen, but also made him feel like he was flowing in the long river of time.
The Sealed Land seemed to return to its calm again, only the white fog all over the sky was dizzying.
But no one dared to underestimate this place. When they first broke into the formation, the terrifying power the Sealed Land exploded with was still fresh in everyone’s memory.
The sketchy cat walked up to Yang Zhen and asked hesitantly: “Kid, can you do it or not?”
Yang Zhen glared at the sketchy cat: “How can a man say he can’t?”
With that, Yang Zhen squatted down on the edge of the Sealed Land and started feeling the soil and rocks on the ground.
The crowd looked at each other with bewildered faces.
Who has ever seen such a bizarre method of breaking a formation?
Not to mention the crowd, even the few scaled creatures in the Sealed Land were at a loss.
Hongqiu looked at Yang Zhen squatting down in confusion: “What the hell is he doing, can he break the formation?”
“Break the formation?” Green Scale laughed out loud, shook his head and said: “Hongqiu, you’re still too naive after all these years, but everything in the Sealed Land is dead, it’s not surprising that your mindset hasn’t grown.”
Then, pointing at Yang Zhen, Green Scale scoffed: “He’ll break the formation? If he breaks the formation, I’ll chew a hole in that Emperor Tomb!”
“Don’t…” Hongqiu’s face changed, and she hurriedly said: “It’s been several thousand years, we haven’t found a way to open the Emperor Tomb for so long, and we’ve lost a lot of tribesmen for this. Green Scale, don’t be stupid, it’s not something you can chew with your mouth!”
Green Scale paused, twitching violently at the corner of his eyes, looking at Hongqiu speechlessly, trying to say something, but not knowing where to start.
On one side, Bai Qian laughed, unable to stop.
At this moment, Yang Zhen, who was in everyone’s view, suddenly stood up.
“How’s it going?” Elder Qian and others hurriedly gathered around and asked, “Is there a way to break it?”
Old Ghost Qi and Old Ghost Lu snickered from the side, “This so-called Sealed Land should not be difficult to enter, otherwise, even Saint Lin wouldn’t be able to come and go at will.”
The corner of Yang Zhen’s mouth lifted into a playful smile as he looked at Old Ghost Qi and said, “Coming and going at will isn’t difficult, but while it’s easy to get in, getting out isn’t as simple!”
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a shiver in their hearts.
“Boy, you don’t have to frighten us with alarming remarks. If, as you said, it’s easy to enter but hard to leave, why was Saint Lin able to freely exit without any obstruction, even faster than when he entered?”
Lu Qiju’s voice was low, as he stared at Yang Zhen, clearly suspecting whether what Yang Zhen had said was true.
Yang Zhen gave a small laugh, staring back at Lu Qiju, “Nonsense. When Saint Lin was leaving, he was chased by a group of Death Zy. If you were in his shoes, you’d probably run even faster. But, as for this formation, as long as you can get in, it wouldn’t stop you from getting out…”
Upon hearing this, everyone was delighted. As long as they could enter, that was all they needed. Since there wouldn’t be anything preventing their exit, presumably any person would be able to leave.
Elder Qian, however, knitted his brows. He felt things weren’t as simple as they seemed and turned to ask Yang Zhen, “Could there be some hidden mystery to this?”
At his words, all of them were taken aback, quickly realizing the situation. This terrifying Sealed Land should have made entry and exit difficult. How could entry be easy and exit be even easier?
Given the expression on Yang Zhen’s face, a deep-reaching certainty created a stir among everyone. They turned to look at Yang Zhen as they awaited his further explanation.
But Yang Zhen didn’t elaborate further. He turned to Han Yan’er and said, “Silly little Taoist nun, come take a look at this formation!”
Startled, Han Yan’er hadn’t expected Yang Zhen to ask her to examine the formation at such a time. She promptly walked up to him and crouched down, placing her hand where Yang Zhen had touched moments ago.
Buzz–!
Star Maps formed one after another behind Han Yan’er, causing everyone to gasp in surprise.
Then, something occurred that left everyone utterly horrified. From within the Sealed Land, hysterical, blood curdling screams echoed out. Ghostly howls and wolfish yelps filled the air, as if countless aggrieved spirits were struggling and roaring. In the foggy white haze, ghost-like figures wandered aimlessly, their hysterical screams held no expression, and not even their faces were recognizable.
“Holy crap, ghosts!” Scared Cat jumped three feet into the air, its tail fur stood on end. It sat on Yang Zhen’s head, looking fearfully at the countless departed souls, and exclaimed in surprise, “Damn, are there really such things as ghosts?”
Yang Zhen ignored the scaredy-cat’s antics, pulling Scared Cat from his head and tossing it on the ground. In contrast, he looked at Han Yan’er in astonishment.
The little Taoist nun had possessed the Star Art Chapter from the Heavenly Book for only a short time but had already achieved such comprehension. She was indeed a genius girl who had entered the Way.
Yang Zhen marveled, looking at Han Yan’er with an expression full of surprise.
“This Sealed Land won’t prevent living beings from leaving, but once they do leave, they probably won’t live long because…” Han Yan’er suddenly raised her head, meeting Yang Zhen’s bright, staring eyes. Instantly she felt her body tremble, and after a moment of locking eyes with him, she defeatedly turned her head away, and continued, “When Saint Lin left this Sealed Land, one soul and one spirit were already taken from his three souls and seven spirits.”
“What?”
Upon hearing this, all the people present were taken by surprise.
“Does that mean that Saint Lin had already lost one soul and one spirit when he came out?”
“No wonder, no wonder Saint Lin seemed unusual when he came out, even carelessly barging into the group of Death Zy. Turns out he’d already lost one soul and one spirit.”
“With the loss of one soul and one spirit, his spirit won’t be intact anymore, doesn’t that mean…”
“Yang Zhen, can you break this Sealed Land.”
“Boy, no need to beat around the bush, if you can break it, then please do so immediately. I certainly don’t want to lose one soul and one spirit.”
“I think Yang Zhen also can’t break this Sealed Land. I guess none of us can enter today.”
Hearing these comments, Yang Zhen laughed out loud, stood up, turned to everyone, and said, “Today, let me show you what a real genius looks like!”
Everyone trembled as Yang Zhen’s demeanor in that moment had a surprisingly absurd effect, leaving them almost in awe.
