Chapter 486: Chapter 492: Even the Emperor Swears in Annoyance! (Third Update)
The reality proved that no one could withstand a Sacred Domain with seven or eight practitioners of the Divine Transformation Stage.
In the far north of Northern Island, within a terrifying expanse, the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain seemingly sprang up out of nowhere. There were endless snow palaces, each one the size of a Spiritual Studies Palace, full of countless disciples and powerful practitioners as numerous as carp crossing a river.
Since the emergence of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, it had almost subjugated all the Great Sects of Northern Island with an incredibly dominant attitude, even the ancient and powerful Ancient Spirit Race were alarmed when speaking of it.
No one in Northern Island had heard of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain before. However, ancient and secretive tribes like the Shanggeng Ancient Clan knew of its origin.
It was said that during the Shanggeng period, the Heavenly Snow Emperor could make it snow over thousands of miles with his own power, his accomplishments were awe-inspiring, and his martial skills were mysterious. He was one of the few emperors of the Shanggeng period who commanded respect.
Yet, for some unknown reason, the Heavenly Snow Emperor disappeared from the world, leaving only the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain behind, which gradually carried on his legacy.
All of Northern Island was in turmoil. Almost all forces were led by the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain. This was because at this time, if one wasn’t under the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, if the wild festival in the Sealed Land were to break out, it would be a disaster of annihilation.
Even so, the whole of Northern Island was in fear.
Now, the people’s determination to find Yang Zhen was not as strong as before. With the Scale Clan, who had witnessed all the changes in the Mobei Abyss, the people of Northern Island had already understood the whole process.
They heard that Yang Zhen had single-handedly killed a practitioner of the Divine Transformation Stage. Even the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain was interested in him, but for some reason, they had not seen any trace of Yang Zhen up till now.
It was as if Yang Zhen had disappeared from the face of the earth.
Little did they know that, Yang Zhen really didn’t want to get involved in the affairs of Northern Island anymore. It had no benefits and he would get involved in tribal conflicts. Whoever liked such thankless jobs could deal with them!
“Kid, you really aren’t going?” Cheap Cat looked at Yang Zhen with a strange look on his face.
Yang Zhen was racing with Sao Chicken to see who could fly faster, ignoring Cheap Cat’s words.
While Sao Chicken could fly as fast as lightning with its wings, Yang Zhen was not inferior. For the sake of fairness, Yang Zhen did not use the Sky Crossing Void or the Heavenly Tathagata Cloud Dispersing Palm. He only used his two hands, forming wings to race with Sao Chicken, occasionally winning and losing.
“Damn, I, Sao Saint, am very interested in wings right now and not in those black ghosts. If you want to go, you can go yourself!”
“Black ghosts?” Cheap Cat widened its eyes, saying, “Do you even know what those black ghosts are?”
“What are they?” Yang Zhen landed with a curious look, folding his illusory wings behind him, and looked at Cheap Cat with great interest.
“They are all experience! All of it!” Cheap Cat spoke with a cunning expression, “Except for the monster leader at the Divine Transformation Stage, the rest are all semi-enlightened beasts that are just slightly more powerful than normal beasts. If you want to cause trouble, they are clearly better targets to improve your state than anything else.”
Yan Zhen was stunned and asked, “Why would messing with them improve my state?”
This was intriguing. Yang Zhen’s cultivation was already high and if he fully unleashed his cultivation speed, there probably wouldn’t be many in this world who could surpass him.
However, something like one’s level or state wasn’t determined by talent and couldn’t be improved at will. One needed a long-time comprehension of heaven and earth, which couldn’t be rushed.
Hearing that messing with the black ghosts in the wild festival could improve his level, Yang Zhen got significantly interested.
Cheap Cat, with its sinister smile, leaned towards Yang Zhen and said, “Bet you didn’t know this! I didn’t explain to you why you should cause trouble before because I was worried you’d bite off more than you could chew. But it seems now, that worry was unnecessary. Let I, Sao Saint, tell you then!”
Yan Zhen’s eyes brightened. He exclaimed, “Damn, you finally started talking sense, you ba****d, spill it! I, Sao Saint, cause less trouble when I don’t know why and the benefits. I’m less motivated.”
The smirk on the rascal cat’s face grew wider, and he mysteriously asked, “Do you know why those true powerhouses naturally exude an aura that makes people uneasy?”
“Why?” Yang Zhen was taken aback, “Is it not because of their high cultivation level?”
“Clout from a high cultivation level? That’s bullshit!” The rascal cat sneered, “Even the Great Emperor curses when he’s anxious. Three realms have nothing to do with the comprehension of nature or one’s temperament. Those people have a superior aura because they’re extremely confident!”
Yang Zhen looked dumbfounded. He felt that the rascal cat, the bastard, was blabbering nonsense, but it still seemed to make sense. He doubtfully said, “Fuck, I, Sao Saint, don’t read much, don’t deceive me. What’s the relationship between confidence and being superior?”
“Why would I deceive you? Only when you place yourself outside of the world can you truly rise above it. If you’re still rolling in the mud, how can you understand the lofty demeanor of an eagle?”
“Oh, you make a lot of sense, but what does this have to do with those black ghouls?”
The rascal cat chuckled, “It’s a significant connection. You don’t know the attitude of the entire Northern Island towards those black ghouls. Anyone who can kill a black ghoul becomes a hero of Northern Island, with countless people wanting to befriend them, and countless beautiful girls wishing to undress in front of you to express their admiration.”
Upon saying this, the rascal cat looked sneakily at Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er, who were oblivious to the conversation, and continued, “Just think, if you could go in and out of the Wilderness Sacrifice and kill those black ghouls several times, wouldn’t the entire Northern Island treat you like a legend?”
“That’s not right!” Yang Zhen looked at the rascal cat suspiciously, narrowing his eyes, “Fuck, I, Sao Saint, smell a conspiracy. Tell me, what advantage does this bastard have to coax me, Sao Saint, into killing black ghouls?”
The rascal cat’s face turned red, and he turned around to leave, “If you don’t want to go, then forget it. I’m being treated like a donkey here.”
Yang Zhen grabbed the rascal cat and said with a grin, “You won’t tell me? I just thought, your cultivation level needs to level up. How about I throw you into the Wilderness Sacrifice for some experience?”
“What the hell!” The rascal cat’s fur stood on end, and he hurriedly said, “Kid, let’s talk nicely!”
“Then talk fast!” Yang Zhen glared!
The rascal cat pursed his lips, looking deflated, and reluctantly said, “Alright, it’s actually because of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain’s open call to heroes. Anyone who can kill the black ghoul in the Wilderness Sacrifice can become a guest of honor of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain.”
“What benefit does it have to be a guest of honor?” Yang Zhen asked bluntly.
Damn it, there’s no benefit to this. Even if they offered a golden seat, this rascal cat would still contemptuously ignore it.
Becoming a guest of honor of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain must have incredible benefits.
“There are lots of benefits!” The rascal cat suddenly looked excited, but seeing Yang Zhen’s suspicious face, he faltered and said awkwardly, “Er…actually, there’s no particular benefit, just that those who make significant contributions can enter the holy domain of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain according to their contribution points.”
“What is the holy domain?” Yang Zhen asked curiously.
“Holy Domain…” The rascal cat narrowed his eyes and scoffed, “Aren’t you not interested in this? I suddenly don’t want to say it anymore.”
“I, Sao Saint, am suddenly interested again. It seems I need to visit the Wilderness Sacrifice. Rascal cat, you seem to have a lot of free time. How about going with me, Sao Saint?”
“Bastard, let me go. I’m reminded of an important matter… Whoa, I just recalled, there are rumors that in the holy domain of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, there’s a pair of wings that human practitioners can use!”
“Oh?” Yang Zhen’s eyes lit up, “What wings?”
“Grand Flame Thunder Wings!” The rascal cat’s eyes also started to gleam.
