Chapter 642: Chapter 649: The Kind That Could Kill You If You’re Not Careful! (Fourth update)
No one could have imagined that within the ancient ruins, there was such an endless chain of primitive mountain ranges, everything was like the original world, intoxicating to behold.
Any practitioner facing such a place couldn’t resist the dense Heaven and Earth Qi and the environment resembling an immortal palace and a Saint Realm. Yang Zhen even wanted to establish his own sect in this place and live out his life there.
Wherever the primordial world existed, there was often a Heaven and Earth Treasure. Even those with large fortunes could enlighten themselves to the principles of heaven and earth from it. This was an environment that was closest to the Dao and had never been destroyed by man.
Watching a crowd of people charging up with peculiar shouts, Yang Zhen and his snobbish cat also yelled out and charged up.
Death Shadow and Gong Sanhe exchanged a glance, both revealing their excitement in their eyes.
“Damn it, I love this place. Anyway, I can’t go back to Moluo Gate. I’ve decided I’m going to cultivate here from now on, live like a serene crane, isn’t that nice?”
Death Shadow laughed heartily, clearly very fond of this primeval mountain range. Even Gong Sanhe was having a blast, saying to Death Shadow, “You old fellow sure know how to pick a place, remember to save a spot for me next to you. When I tire of the mortal world, I might join you to live like a serene crane.”
The words made Ding Chun and Wen Yuning’s hearts sink, and they grimaced with a bitter smile.
Compared to spending the rest of their lives in a beautiful place, the younger generation of practitioners preferred to wander the world with their swords. Only by doing so could they best grasp the principles of heaven and earth and pursue the Path of Longevity that countless people had laid down their lives for.
Thousands of practitioners scattered as soon as they entered the mountains. Such a vast mountain range didn’t make anyone want to travel in groups, making them forget all potential dangers.
Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue, along with their snobbish cat, quietly left the crowd. No matter where it was, Yang Zhen had no interest in Heaven and Earth shackles. Yet, he was interested in exploring this primitive mountain range.
The snobbish cat laughed heartily, romping about like a young tiger who had just entered a mountain, not looking cumbersome in the slightest.
The richness of the Heaven and Earth True Essence made a practitioner’s body and mind feel pleasant. Yang Zhen, holding Hua Youyue’s hand, slowly walked through the forest, feeling relaxed for the first time in a while.
Not long after, an impatient voice came from behind them: “Damn it, you shameless old fellow. Young Master Zhen finally got a chance to spend time with his woman, and you had to come and bother them.”
Death Shadow’s voice came over, “What do you know, old man? My eyes have never been mistaken. In such a big mountain range, it’s not easy to find a greater shackle of heaven and earth. This young man, Yang Zhen, is a man of great fortune. If we follow him, we will surely find the greater shackle of heaven and earth.”
“And what if we don’t find it?” Gong Sanhe snorted coldly, clearly somewhat unwilling and also a little embarrassed.
Death Shadow sneered and said, “If we don’t find it, you can make me gnaw on anything you want.”
“That’s a deal. When the time comes, you will have to gnaw on a rock without a word.”
“Humph, and what if we do find it?”
“Then I will kneel down and gnaw!”
Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue exchanged a glance, turned around in annoyance, and glared at the two old men. “Alright, you two rascals, stop pretending. You still need to learn more before you can play tricks in front of Sao Saint.”
Death Shadow and Gong Sanhe were stunned. Then Death Shadow, with his thick-skin, laughed out loud and stepped forward, “I told you, Young Master Yang is not a petty person.”
“That’s because Yang Zhen is naturally magnanimous, not like you, old man, with your petty mind.”
“Enough!” Yang Zhen waved his hand, looked at the two old men with a mischievous smile, and said, “If you wish to follow, then follow. However, I’m afraid Sao Saint will disappoint you. Sao Saint won’t go looking for the Heaven and Earth shackle. Whoever wants to find it can do so. So… Death Shadow, I’m waiting to see you gnaw on a rock.”
Gong Sanhe roared with laughter, then suddenly realized something. He looked at Yang Zhen in bewilderment and asked, “What did you say? You won’t look for the Heaven and Earth… Heaven and Earth shackle?”
Hearing the words “Heaven and Earth shackle,” Gong Sanhe and Death Shadow were both momentarily stunned. They exchanged glances and laughed out loud, excitement flashing in their eyes.
Death Shadow, looking self-satisfied, said to Gong Sanhe, “What did I tell you? The Heaven and Earth shackle is in the heart of this ancient relic. All of you with lineages of sacred lands, even though you’ve been preservation for so many years, know less than this young man.”
Gong Sanhe ignored Death Shadow’s mockery, walked up to Yang Zhen with an excited face and asked, “Young man, are you saying the truth? Is there really a Heaven and Earth shackle here?”
Looking at Gong Sanhe’s tense face, Yang Zhen was taken aback. He exchanged a glance with Hua Youyue before hesitantly saying, “There is indeed a Heaven and Earth shackle here, but Senior Gong, you don’t need to be so excited, do you?”
Gong Sanhe laughed loudly, “Oh, it is worth getting excited about! Young Master Yang, have you ever heard of a legend?”
Yang Zhen looked puzzled, glanced at the snobbish cat, who also looked back at him confused, apparently not having heard of this legend.
Gong Sanhe and Death Shadow exchanged glances, Death Shadow snorted, “You tell them.”
Under the curious gaze of Yang Zhen and his companions, Gong Sanhe took a deep breath and said, “Legend has it that there are five Heaven and Earth shackles in total, the most mysterious secrets of the ancient times. No one knows where the Heaven and Earth shackles come from, where they are, or what they do. But rumor has it that when the five Heaven and Earth shackles are unlocked, the entire cultivation world will go through a cataclysmic change.”
“What kind of change?” the snobbish cat unusually serious, stared at Gong Sanhe and asked.
Yang Zhen was dumbfounded, “so you’re saying that the world we’re in now is fake?”
Meanwhile, Yang Zhen felt his heart thump. The snobbish cat mentioned earlier that during ancient times, it was a place where all races coexisted. The snobbish cat, a Demonic Race, and the Golden Crow, another Demonic Race, are the only demonic entities Yang Zhen has ever seen, including even the Evil Shadow Black Glutton. Were there any other demonic entities in the world?
The Shanggeng Secret Clan was extremely mysterious; aside from the appearing races, where had the other races from the ‘Wan Clan’ gone?
This was getting interesting, the kind of interesting that could accidentally kill everyone!
