Chapter 505: Chapter 511: Is the Kylin hatched from an egg? (Part one)
What an enthusiastic group of people it was!
Yang Zhen watched in astonishment, finding them amusingly endearing!
What was even more surprising to Yang Zhen was that even the likes of the Thousand-Spirit Saintess and Ji Yourong, both celestial princesses, had chosen not to leave, instead following the crowd over.
There was also the gifted Lu Tianwei, looking uncertain, who snorted coldly, turned around and said to the people of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, “The rest of you, just wait here!”
“Brother Lu, what are you…”
“No, Brother Lu, Junior Sister Ji, you both know that Yang Zhen is deliberately provoking us, why would you still go along with it?”
Lu Tianwei snorted coldly, and contemptuously said, “Do you all think I’m being provoked by Yang Zhen?”
“Then…then why would you, Brother Lu?”
Lu Tianwei tilted his head towards the sky, took a deep breath, “I really want to know what theUpper Eon Mystery is. What I really want to know is, on what grounds did Yang Zhen assert so confidently that he could obtain the inheritance under the watchful eyes of a Divine Transformation Stage powerhouse? This is quite interesting, really interesting!”
Looking at Lu Tianwei’s profound expression, the disciples from the Heavenly Snow Holy domain collectively gasped in amazement, all of them just barely suppressing the urge to shout ‘Brother Lu is the best!’
Lu Tianwei gazed at the sky for a moment, maestro-like and inscrutable. Suddenly noticing that almost everyone had left, he quickly bolted after them, not forgetting to say to the people behind him, “If there’s any danger, leave immediately, Ji Yourong and I both carry a Gold Life Talisman, so we won’t die!”
Upon hearing the words ‘Gold Life Talisman’, the eyes of the Heavenly Snow disciples brightened and they immediately felt at ease.
At the very front of the crowd, the Cheap Cat and Yang Zhen were still discussing whether it was dishonorable. However, Cheap Cat was clearly at a disadvantage. Yang Zhen, who had participated in the ‘Chicken or Egg’ debate at school, was full of nonsense.
Cheap Cat looked perplexedly at Yang Zhen, accepting defeat, “I give in, I give in. We were discussing whether you were scamming us or not, but you’re bullshitting me about whether the kylin is born from an egg. Why don’t you ascend to heaven? How would I know if a kylin is born from an egg or not?”
Yang Zhen, like a proud peacock, revealed a meaningful smirk and then asked in a gossipy tone: “So is a kylin born from an egg or not?”
“Go away, no, and I’ll kill you if you ask again!” Cheap Cat turned his head away, fighting with his own tail, clearly quite irritated.
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, feeling very pleased.
Behind him, Elder Qian and the Sha Clan Elder exchanged glances and shook their heads, saying, “Typical of Yang Zhen, in a situation where death is likely, he can still be so joyful.”
The Elder of the Sha Clan gave a bitter smile: “He’s the only one I’ve ever seen in my lifetime who’s like that. I wonder what kind of environment could have shaped Yang Zhen’s character like this!”
Elder Qian chuckled and said, “He’s one of a kind. This is a unique state of mind! I hope Yang Zhen can keep it up all the time!”
By this point, Elder Qian looked up and asked Yang Zhen, “Young friend Yang, how do we proceed from here?”
Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, “No rush, we… have already entered!”
“What?”
Everyone was startled and instantly tightened up. The relaxed atmosphere immediately disappeared.
“We’ve entered? But I haven’t felt any fluctuations in the aura…”
“I didn’t feel anything either. It’s no wonder this Sealed Land, located within the Wilderness Festival, is so mysterious.”
“Since we’ve already entered, does that mean we should be prepared to face that Divine Transformation Stage powerhouse at any time?”
Lu Tianwei’s face turned pale, staring at Yang Zhen for a long time before sighing, “In terms of arrays, I can’t compete with him!”
Ji Yourong glanced at Lu Tianwei indifferently, shaking her head and saying, “Yang Zhen has the Ksitigarbha Skill.”
Hearing the name ‘Ksitigarbha Skill’, Lu Tianwei’s body suddenly shook, and he immediately cheered up, saying with an air of glory, “Yeah, he has the Ksitigarbha Skill, a secret technique born from the Heavenly Book. How could Yang Zhen be poor in array formations? He’s just gotten lucky this time!”
“Lucky?” Ji Yourong stared at Yang Zhen, who was resting his hands on his head and walking away, with an uncertain look in her eyes.
Once or twice could be considered luck, but not three times. That’s real power!
Yang Zhen was right, they really were inside. But being inside didn’t mean they needed to make a scene coming out. They just needed to enter quietly.
For Yang Zhen, who possessed the heaven-defying Ksitigarbha Skill, sneaking into the Sealed Land was not that difficult!
At this point, everyone looked at the surrounding environment in doubt. Many people were eyeing Yang Zhen.
“We’re inside? When did we enter?”
“Damn it, we’ve been tricked by that bastard Yang Zhen again.”
“It’s incredible. True to Yang Zhen’s form, using such unheard-of tactics, he got us in without making a sound.”
“My friend, have you been so tricked by Yang Zhen that you’re praising him now?”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“You!”
A fight was almost about to break out, but Yang Zhen turned a deaf ear to it all as if he hadn’t heard anything!
Yang Zhen turned to Elder Qian and asked, “Can you recall where the Black Pool is?”
Elder Qian pondered for a moment before the Thousand-Spirit Saintess suddenly said, “I know!”
Without waiting for Yang Zhen and Elder Qian to respond, she flicked her hand, and an energy akin to a little tadpole in a wash painting appeared in front of everyone.
The little tadpole circled in mid-air and then swam off in a certain direction, its tail wiggling.
Yang Zhen and Cheap Cat exchanged glances, both revealing curious expressions.
“I like this! It’s like a wash painting! What kind of secret technique is this?”
Hearing Yang Zhen refer to her spell as a ‘wash painting,’ the Thousand-Spirit Saintess momentarily froze, then laughed it off and said, “It’s nothing, just a little trick for identifying directions. It requires a previous mark, not very useful.”
Yang Zhen had an epiphany and realized it was merely a tracking device, although he wasn’t sure about its effective range.
The closer they got to the Black Pool, the more oppressive the atmosphere became, and the more solemn the expressions of the people.
A series of growling sounds, like a vicious beast sleeping, came along with the rhythm of the Heaven and Earth Fetal Breathing, causing everyone’s faces to change.
Yang Zhen uttered a surprise and listened attentively, becoming more certain that this place was not simple.
The tadpole in front of the Thousand-Spirit Saintess had disappeared without anyone noticing. She then said, “Yang Zhen, I can only take you this far. Beyond this point, it’s a terrifying force that can affect a person’s spirit. Do you…really want to continue?”
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, looking ahead at a shimmering black pool, emitting an eerie aura that even the people standing far away could feel.
“Is this the aura you mentioned?” Yang Zhen didn’t answer the question from the Thousand-Spirit Saintess. At this point in time, would there be a different answer to such a question?
“Damn, I suddenly feel cold!” Cheap Cat shrank its neck and shook its head, a look of confusion on its face.
It wasn’t just a bit cold; it was freezing!
This Black Pool was definitely no good!
