ââYoung disciple? Whatâs wrong with her?â Yang Zhen asked the annoying cat suspiciously, having no idea what this hell-cat was up to.
The annoying cat shook its head, looking like it was just begging to be smacked. Seeing Yang Zhen raise his hand, it hurriedly said, âKid, you didnât notice?â
âNotice what?â Yang Zhen was startled, then became furious, âDamn it, if you keep messing with me, believe it or not, Sao Saint here might just give you a little operation that will make you unfit for the world â no, unfit for the cat kingdom!â
âWhat the hell?â The annoying cat bulged its eyes out, equally furious, and snapped, âI donât feel like saying it now!â
Bang!
The Great Missing Sword thudded on the ground, causing a mountain-quaking noise.
âCough, cough!â The annoying cat coughed twice, and then cleared its throat, âDonât think that showing off your Great Missing Sword will intimidate me. You were so arrogant when you abandoned the world for Hua Youyue, it was domineering when you shattered the Heaven and Earthâs shackles with a single sword, even the Spirit Soul of Tri-Floral Saintess was suppressed by you, let alone a young girl like Young Disciple who has barely seen the world?â
Yang Zhen stopped, bewilderment all over his face. He pointed at his nose and said in a strange tone, âMe?â
âWho else could it be?â The annoying cat looked contemptuously at him, as if Yang Zhen was a real jerk who abandoned his responsibilities.
âDamn it, what does this have to do with Sao Saint?â Yang Zhen widened his eyes, in utter disbelief, âDonât tell me that Young Disciple, the little girl, was captivated by the grandiose style of Sao Saint and wants to offer herself to me?â
That was pulling it a bit too far!
With a teasing grin on its face, the annoying cat mysteriously said, âI donât know if she was captivated by your grandeur. I only know that she entered the Path because of you, and she even did it before you. My, oh my, sheâs quite a monster.â
âWhat the hell?â Yang Zhen was totally confused. He looked at the annoying cat and said, âMake yourself clear, what do you mean by âentering the Path because of Sao Saintâ?â
With a face full of disdain, the annoying cat looked at Yang Zhen, then turned to the annoying chicken on the side and said, âSee, men. Looks like cheap guy Yang here is trying to duck responsibility.â
âJerk!â The annoying chicken also learned a new word from Annoying cat who stole it from Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen kicked towards the two jerks, still somewhat unable to react.
âEntering the Path because of Sao Saint is a good thing, why would I need to be responsible?â
The annoying cat held its face in a suffering way, âDamn it, kid, youâre so talented, but when it comes to these things, youâre just like a complete idiot.â
âIn mathematics, Sao Saint is also like an idiot. Doesnât mean I canât live well enough,â Yang Zhen defiantly replied.
Chuckling, the annoying cat said, âThese are two different things. Young Disciple entered the path because of you, making you her Path. If she wants to further improve in her lifetime, she needs to comprehend the grand way through you. And your level has to be higher than hers, or you simply kick the bucket and her Path will go extinct. Do you understand what I just said?â
Yang Zhen wore a stunned, confused expression and looked at the annoying cat in disbelief.
He understood, but damn, was this absurd or what?
Young Disciple entered the path because of Yang Zhen, and he became her Path. If she wanted to ascend, she had to comprehend the grand way through Yang Zhen. And whether she could do it depended on whether Yang Zhenâs level was always higher than hers.
Was this some sort of tongue twister?
Shaking his head, Yang Zhen abruptly said, âNo, thatâs not right. Sao Saint hasnât even entered the Path yet, I am way beneath Young Disciple in terms of level. How can I possibly be her path?â
He had never heard of a dropout tutoring a Harvard student!
âThatâs whyâ¦â with a strange laugh and a face of mockery and malicious joy, the annoying cat said, âKeep going, young man, or else you wonât even be as good as a woman. Wonât that be embarrassing if it gets out?â
Yang Zhen looked at the annoying cat suspiciously, seeing that the expression on its face did not seem to be a joke, and he felt utterly shocked.
What the hell was this?
Just as he was getting a handle on the little miss, another Young Disciple showed up?
Damn it, there must be some misunderstanding here. Maybe the annoying cat got it wrong. Young Disciple was a phenomenal super genius. How could she possibly enter the path through him?
âIs it possible that you got it wrong?â
âItâs possible!â
âThen why the hell are you so certain? Are you asking for a beating?â
Yang Zhen kicked at the Despicable Cat, this bastard was indeed unreliable, coming up with such absurd ideas.
Waves of practitioners charged in all directions. After Yang Zhen destroyed the Heaven and Earth shackles, the surroundings of the entire Forbidden Land of Life felt the impact.
At the moment of the energy wave outbreak, endless True Essence emerged from the ground. The Heaven and Earth seemed to be undergoing drastic changes that filled everyoneâs hearts with awe.
More than that, it seemed like the entire Northern Island was affected. All cultivators who had reached the Divine Travel Realm, no matter where they were on Northern Island, looked up in horror at the abnormal movement of the terrifying True Essence in the sky.
Even Yang Zhen hadnât expected that after he shattered a Bone Mountain, he could cause such changes in the universe. No matter where he ran, he could feel the slow changes of the Heaven and Earth True Essence.
âDamn, this is a real mess now!â Yang Zhen muttered.
The Despicable Cat sneered: âYou just realized that now?â
âRight!â Yang Zhen furrowed his brows and asked, âCan I really only eat the Creation and Transformation Stalactite Bamboo Shoot you mentioned once Iâve reached the Tribulation Crossing Period?â
âItâs the Creation and Transformation Stalactite Bamboo Shoot, damn it, Iâve said it so many times, Creation and Transformation God Show, youâve even changed the God Show, how else do you want to show it?â The Despicable Cat drawled, âThe Creation and Transformation Stalactite Bamboo Shoot was born of the universe, and the energy it contains is too vast. If you havenât survived the Heavenly Tribulation, your body will explode if you eat it. How the hell are you going to supplement your Spirit Soul then!â
âThat sounds troublesome.â Yang Zhen sighed, âIt seems I must hurry to cross the Tribulation.â
Two passing powerhouses at the Divine Travel Realm staggered when they heard him. They looked at Yang Zhen in surprise and muttered under their breaths, âYoung people these days, so ambitious. He hasnât even entered the Divine Travel Realm but is already thinking about crossing the Tribulation. This world is really going downhill.â
The Despicable Cat cackled, raising his voice on purpose, âLittle guy, the path youâre taking is extraordinary. You need to prepare properly for the Tribulation!â
âWhy?â Yang Zhen blinked, asking in confusion.
âBecause the Heavenly Tribulation you will undergo is definitely not regular. Remember I once told you to stir things up?â
The practitioners nearby staggered again, exchanging looks with their companions. They looked at Yang Zhen and the Despicable Cat like they were idiots, their eyes filled with incredulity.
âThe regular Heavenly Tribulation is deadly enough. This young man is actually thinking about crossing a mutated Heavenly Tribulation. This is simply beyond comprehension.â
âOh well, none of our business. What does it matter to us? Weâd better head for Flower Face Mountain quickly, damn it! Did that Wandering Lu You really hide Yang Zhen?â
âJust hearing about that old guy annoys me. Of all the people to hide, he had to choose Yang Zhen. Doesnât he know that thousands of people are looking for Yang Zhen right now?â
âRight, does Yang Zhen really have the Ascension Order?â
âIs that even a question? Itâs said that he has several inheritances. If we take him downâ¦â
âHush, beware of eavesdroppers!â
The two of them cast a wary glance at Yang Zhen and quickly walked away.
Yang Zhen:â???â
Despicable cat:â???â
Flirtatious chicken:â???â
âDamn it, do I really have such a low presence?â The Despicable Cat growled angrily, glaring at the two practitioners who left. He was not convinced at all.
At a location near Flower Face Mountain, a long-legged young woman held a long sword in her hand. At her feet, a group of cultivators emaciated in the Divine Travel Stage lay haphazardly.
âYou⦠you woman, why did you just strike without knowing right from wrong?â
The long-legged young woman looked indifferent, glancing at him, âYang Zhen isnât someone for you to discuss. He didnât abandon everyone. If it werenât for him, no practitioner in the Forbidden Land of Life could have made it out safely.â
âHow is that possible!â The practitioner turned pale, âYouâ¦â¦â¦â¦. who are you?â
âThe Forbidden Land of Life is where Saintness Tianxuan caused destruction. It has its own world now. Itâs easy to get in but almost impossible to get out. As for meâ¦â The young woman turned around to leave, her long legs dazzling, âYou can call me⦠the Tao Trance..â
