After Yang Zhen entered the secret chamber, the strong slamming of the door behind him sent all the practitioners around Changyue Tower into a peculiar mood.
Though most hardly believed in Yang Zhen’s potential to perceive Sky-vacant-transcendence and had merely come to see Hua Youyue, with Yang Zhen now inside, all were left in an awkward situation.
Many secretly regretted not having the cheekiness of Yang Zhen. But, what else could the people do at this moment other than sneaking peeks at Hua Youyue? Cheer for Yang Zhen?
What a joke! Even if they strained their voices with crimson faces encouraging him, Yang Zhen had no hope of understanding Sky-Vacant-transcendence. Wasn’t that akin to having a talent even higher than Lan Fangyue and Hua Youyue, the ‘Dual Moons’ of Flame City?
At this moment, Hua Youyue turned around, her face adorned with a faint smile, which left everyone captivated.
It was the first time Hua Youyue had shown a smile in public for such an extended period—no, it was the first time they had seen Hua Youyue’s charming smile at all.
Everyone’s breath quickened, she was overwhelmingly beautiful!
Hua Youyue sighed softly, saying, “Changyue Tower’s forbears have been generous. With countless cultivation methods and martial skills accessible after becoming a honored guest of Changyue Tower, one can even exchange their cultivation methods and martial skills for collections of the tower. This is a unique model found only in the Changyue Tower of Nether State.”
As she spoke, Hua Youyue’s voice shifted. “As practitioners, we should support each other against the common course of nature. It’s Changyue Tower’s most significant characteristic. We have done it, I have done it, but… Sky-vacant-transcendence has always been a regret for Changyue Tower, which is why I decided to reveal part of it. Hopefully, someone might comprehend it.”
“Flower Tower Master’s understanding and kindness are our blessing!”
“Having Changyue Tower is indeed Flame City’s greatest fortune. I have decided to apply for the position of honored guest at the tower and contribute what I can.”
A crowd of people echoed in agreement. At this point, Hua Youyue stood before Changyue Tower, the focus of the entire occasion.
Hua Youyue nodded appreciatively, then continued, “Thank you for your support of Changyue Tower. However, I underestimated the inherent dangers of Sky-vacant-transcendence. Regardless of Young Master Yang’s results this time, I have decided to cancel this task and revert to our tower’s regular duties. In this way, everyone will have the opportunity to earn some gemstones.”
Everyone cheered. By now, no one cared about Sky-vacant-transcendence or Yang Zhen.
Sky-vacant-transcendence might be mystically powerful, but what use is it if even Hua Youyue couldn’t comprehend it? As for Yang Zhen, it wasn’t even sure if he would make it out.
Thinking of Yang Zhen, people suddenly realized that he had been in the chamber for quite some time now. Why had they heard no news?
Just then, Hua Youyue waved her delicate hand, and a gently blue light descended from the sky, forming a water-blue curtain overhead the crowd.
“Is it the water screen projection? This must be from within the secret chamber!”
“What considerate arrangements by Flower Tower Master, allowing us to clearly see Yang Zhen’s actions via the water screen projection from inside the secret chamber.”
“Is that the imprint of the Sky-vacant-transcendence? Why can’t I see anything?”
“What a joke, it’s a saint level martial skill. Do you expect to see it clearly?”
As everyone buzzed with discussion, suddenly someone exclaimed, “What is Yang Zhen doing?”
Everyone turned reflexively to look at Yang Zhen in the water screen projection. When they realized what they were seeing, their faces twitched uncontrollably.
Yang Zhen was actually making faces at the water screen projection; he even poked a finger at it, stirring ripple upon ripple that left the crowd dizzy.
“Oh, what is Yang Zhen doing? The water screen has no danger; why does he treat it like an enemy?”
“My heavens, that’s a massive finger. I almost died from the shock.”
Those startled began swearing. Sadly, Yang Zhen couldn’t hear them as Hua Youyue’s water screen projection only transmits in one direction to keep him focused.
Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what Yang Zhen intended to do.
“Hello? Can you hear me?” Yang Zhen looked oddly at the water screen projection, even cocking an ear to listen. Disappointed, he said, “Can’t hear me? That’s so dull.”
Snort!
Lan Fangyue couldn’t hold back and let out a sudden laugh.
Hua Youyue, who was standing by, wore an equally peculiar expression. Throughout the ages, it appeared that Yang Zhen was the first to treat the water screen projection of a secret chamber this way!
“What a peculiar young man!” Hua Youyue said, smiling.
Lan Fangyue absentmindedly agreed, “Indeed, he does seem to share a lot in common with Medicine Elder.”
Medicine Elder, lingering at the side, rolled his eyes and mumbled, “I’m not about to get into a temper match with the little brat.”
Hua Youyue chuckled, “Let’s see how things go. You two seem to have a lot of faith in Yang Zhen.”
“Not at all!” Medicine Elder and Lan Fangyue said simultaneously.
The secret chamber wasn’t dark. Instead, a soft radiance made Yang Zhen feel quite comfortable. After glancing at the densely packed characters inscribed on the wall, Yang Zhen didn’t rush to comprehend the cultivation methods but turned his attention to a flux of elemental energy in the corner of the room.
This seemed interesting. It could clearly project the room’s content from miles away, much like a camera.
Yang Zhen poked the water screen with his fingers, cleared his throat lightly, and decided to do something earth-shattering!
You folks like to watch, don’t you? Then I’ll give you a grand show.
“Hello?”
Yang Zhen jiggled the water screen and said, “Can you hear me, folks? The broadcast begins now! Those of you who love the broadcaster, double-tap 666 to follow. Welcome to the broadcasting room of Yang Zhen, the number one broadcaster in the industry. Welcome, everyone!”
Crowd:”…”
Everyone dumbfoundedly stared at the water screen, their eyes vacant.
Lan Fangyue, equally stupefied, looked at Medicine Elder beside her. “What is he doing?”
“I have no clue!” Medicine Elder looked equally perplexed. “But it seems pretty fun, huh? Oh wow, who knew the water screen could be used like this?”
At that moment, Yang Zhen spoke again. He didn’t smear his big face on the water screen this time. Instead, he turned around, presenting everyone with his rear as he rummaged through that immense bundle he always carried with him.
“Someone asked what the broadcaster would be doing today?”
Yang Zhen’s voice echoed softly, causing the audience to glance at each other in confusion. Did anyone ask?
Nobody, you jerk!
“People treat food as their prime want. Today the broadcaster will teach everyone to cook a delicacy!”
Yang Zhen hoisted up some Gale Sheep mutton, “See this? It’s just common mutton; Gale Sheep mutton. I’ve already cleaned it. It just needs a touch of processing to be transformed into a nationwide delicacy, essential for entertaining guests or receiving friends and family!”
As soon as the mutton appeared, everyone was utterly dumbstruck. Their eyes wide, their mouths agape, they looked completely flabbergasted.
“Didn’t he say… he was going to comprehend cultivation methods?” Someone asked blankly, “Is this some new show from Changyue Tower?”
“Who wants to watch you cook? We want to see you comprehend the cultivation method!”
“This is ridiculous. What a waste of our time! This Yang Zhen is crazy. He made all of us watch him barbecue?”
In no time, those hurling abuses were in the majority.
Lan Fangyue and Medicine Elder looked at each other. With one’s eye twitching in irritation and the other’s lip quivering, it was clear both wished they could drag Yang Zhen out for a proper thrashing.
Even Hua Youyue’s elegant eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly taken aback by Yang Zhen’s actions.
Yang Zhen was oblivious and seemed to be enjoying himself more and more. He pointed at the mutton and asked, “Someone else asked, ‘what’s the name of the delicacy the broadcaster is making today?”‘
Yang Zhen patted his belly, “Oh man, just thinking of the name makes me ravenous. Yes, you guessed it, folks. Today, I’m making the king of all barbecues, Cumin Mutton!”
Screw you and your Cumin Mutton!
Who else asked?
And what do you mean we guessed it right? We didn’t guess any damned thing!
Among the practitioners present, nine out of ten were furious. Their faces red, their necks engorged. If not for Hua Youyue’s presence, they would have likely torn the chamber down.
This was absurd! Wasting all this time on some ghost broadcast?
Oh man, this is aggravating!
