Early the next morning, Yang Zhen woke up refreshed, smacked the cat, and said, âLetâs go for breakfast!â
The cat, whose tail was puffed up, seemed delighted to hear about food. Its fur smoothed out and its tail began to wag. It walked out to the water, dipped its head in, gargled a bit, shook the water off its head, and meowed at Yang Zhen, âKid, what are we having for breakfast?â
Yang Zhen was in the middle of freshening up and mumbled a response so low even he didnât hear it. The door to the courtyard was then pushed open.
Wang Meiling stood at the entrance, smiling faintly, and proposed, âHow about having the Wanhua banquet?â
âEh?â The cat excitedly ran over to Wang Mailingâs side, nodding repeatedly without any sense of dignity. It asked, âThatâs great! When are we going to
eat?â
Yang Zhen wiped his mouth and stepped out to ask, âWhen are we leaving?
âWe leave as soon as we finish eating!â
After a meal that had Yang Zhen itching to hit someone-specifically, the catâ Yang Zhen threw the rascal out by its tail. Come to think of it, the creature s stomach seemed bottomless. No matter how much it ate, it seemed always hungry. It was only after expulsion that their meal could proceed in peace.
âKid, thatâs not fair! Donât forget that I too played a part in securing these two Wanhua banquets. You canât abandon me after youâve crossed the bridge!â The cat was shouting from outside the door. Undisturbed, Yang Zhen promised, âAlright. When weâre at the Sea Dragon Pool, youâll lead the way. If you survive, the next Wanhua banquet will be all yours. Deal?â âIâve thought about it, and I can forgo a meal, or at least eat a bit less. Such ostentatious matters should be handled by you. After all, they invited you, not
Right, girl?â
Wang Meiling seemed very interested in the squabble between man and cat, only taking bites from time to time.
After they finished eating, the catâs voice suddenly came from outside, âHold it. What do you guys want? Yang Zhen is inside deepening his understanding of life with the little missy. Donât bother them!â
The color drained from Wang Meilingâs face. She turned to Yang Zhen, âThe Wang Family is here!â
Yang Zhen nodded, with a strange expression, âRemember, Iâm only responsible for you!â
Wang Meiling laughed lightly, âWho told you to be responsible!â
âAll the better if I donât have to be responsible!â Yang Zhenâs gaze lingered on Wang Meiling. He couldnât figure out what she ate to grow up. The big parts were intimidatingly big, and the thin parts were criminally thin.
âSo youâre the cat, right? Move aside, Iâm looking for my clanswoman!â A boisterous voice came, causing Yang Zhen to smirk with schadenfreude.
âDamn, kid, Iâm right here. You try touching me and see whether your head is harder or Yang Zhenâs hammer!â
Yang Zhen nearly blurted out a swear word. This damned cat truly knew how to take advantage of a situation.
As Wang Meiling rose to open the door, Yang Zhen saw the visitors-four in total, all Nascent Soul Stage practitioners and quite young. They included three males and one female, each one more extraordinary than the last.
Without a doubt, the flushed and gritting his teeth was the boy who had spoken earlier.
Before the boy could speak, Yang Zhen pointed at him from a distance and declared, âIf heâs coming, Iâm not!â
Everyone was stunned by this statement, while the cat cackled in the background, relishing the commotion.
âWh⦠Why?â The young man spluttered in rage, his face flushed, looking utterly unconvinced.
âBecause your forehead is ominously dark. Youâre likely to face a moonlight disaster. Itâs a bad omen!â Yang Zhen bluffed.
Wang Meiling approached Yang Zhen, tidied up his clothes, and said with dancing eyes, âYang Zhen, these are our clanâs disciples. They are going to the Emperor Stele in the Sea Dragon Pool to comprehend the imprints of the emperor.â
Yang Zhen had an epiphany. Wang Meiling put heavy emphasis on the words âcomprehending the imprints of the emperor.â He took a meaningful look at Wang Meiling, clearly seeing through the ignorance of the four youngsters. He then stepped out and said, âLetâs go!â
The young man heaved a sigh of relief, quickly following Yang Zhen. He said, âYou must be the Sao Saint, right? My name is Wang Ba, Ba as in charm, not eight. What were you thinking when you slammed Lu Baichi to death? Werenât you afraid of repercussions from the people of the blessed land of Mountian Hua?â
âHey, I admire you, why donât you respond to me?
âYou⦠hey, donât goâ¦â
Throughout the journey, Yang Zhen couldnât handle the constant disturbance. He glared and fiercely said, âSay one more word, and Iâll strip you naked and throw you into the Sea Dragon Pool to feed the turtles. Do you believe me?â Upon hearing this, the color drained from Wang Baâs face and he didnât dare to utter another word.
Wang Meiling on the side couldnât help but laugh at the comical situation. She pointed out a towering peak in the distance and said, âThatâs Broken Wall Mountain. Legend has it that the Eastern Desolation Emperor severed it with a single blow, blocking the lifeline of the Sea Dragon Clan and rescuing tens of thousands of ordinary folks on Wanhua Island.â
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen looked in the direction she pointed and was taken aback.
The majestic mountain rose towards the sky, so vast that Yang Zhenâs gaze couldnât encompass all of it. The so-called Broken Wall Mountain resembled a giant wall, obstructing the panorama, stretching out like a mountain range.
If this was indeed cut open with a single slash, was the person who did it even human?
Did the emperor possess such terrifying means?
Notably, at the foot of Broken Wall Mountain, an endlessly vast and unfathomably deep lake roiled beneath. It mirrored the vast ocean not too far away with its profound azure waters. From afar, it looked like a massive black hole.
Before they could get closer, everyone heard a thunderous rumble. It was as if heaven and earth were humming. A terrifyingly colossal waterfall descended from the sky, crashing into the lake, spraying sky-high splashes all around. It was as if a sea dragon was stirring the sea and roaring crazily.
Yang Zhen never expected such a grand and magnificent place to exist on Wanhua Island. For a moment, his heart too seemed to broaden. He took a deep breath and said, âItâs a work of nature, embodying the power of Heaven and Earth!â
Wang Meiling giggled and said, âYou have yet to witness the Dragon Leaping into the Full Moon. That is the real natural wonder.â
âHuh?â Yang Zhen was dumbfounded. He looked at the scorching sun in the sky and asked in confusion, âWhat does the Dragon Leaping into the Full Moon mean?â
âI know! 1 know!â Wang Ba eagerly stepped forward and explained, âOn every full moon, the Sea Dragon Waterfall will run upstream. The spectacle is truly magnificent, as though the world is upside down. The True Essence is most violent at such times. Cultivating here will yield twice the results with half the effort, and it also sharpens oneâs character. This is why every full moon night, countless practitioners gather here to cultivate together. Their combined aura lights up the sky, making it the most bustling occasion on Wanhua Island.â The scoundrel catâs eyes sparkled, and it grew unusually quiet, never taking its eyes off the water in the pool.
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen stared at the Sea Dragon Waterfall that reached the heavens in astonishment.
This thing could be sucked back up, is there a magic formation within this waterfall?
But who could set up such a magic formation except the Emperor? And the fact that it was still operating after thousands of years makes it truly a work against the nature.
Then, Yang Zhen suddenly had a thought and turned his head to Wang Meiling to ask, âIsnât the full moon night tomorrow?â
Wang Meiling nodded and said, âAnd why do you think we only arrived today? And tomorrow night is not just a full moon night.
âAnd what else could it be?â asked Yang Zhen, puzzled.
Wang Meiling did not reply. Beside them, the scoundrel cat suddenly yelled excitedly, âBlood Moon! Itâs a Blood Moon night!â
Upon hearing the scoundrel catâs words, Yang Zhenâs heart jolted.. For some reason, he was reminded of the Blood Seed!
