âCome empty-handed?â
Yang Zhen was startled, as a Sao Saint, he never returned empty-handed from any place!
âWhat kind of place is this?â
Despite his full confidence, Yang Zhen still turned to ask.
Even though that loathsome cat couldnât always be trusted, it was still worth listening to when it assumed a serious expression.
Peak Master Mo was also puzzled as he came up to the loathsome cat. During this time, Yang Zhenâs powerful punches had beaten down on the cat countless times, terrifying in its forcefulness and sound, but he never saw the damn cat get even a little injured.
Clearly, the loathsome cat was no ordinary cat!
Hua Youyue and Han Yanâer exchanged a glance, both seeing the gravity in each otherâs eyes.
Now Han Yanâer was already a practitioner at the Tribulation Crossing Period strength level. Although Hua Youyue hadnât crossed the Tribulation yet, it was evident she was suppressing her power level. Both of them could sense something unusual, although they couldnât pinpoint it precisely.
The loathsome cat, seeing the entire groupâs gazes turn to it, was about to strike a smug pose when Yang Zhen glared at it. It hastily said, âThis is a Sealed Land!â
âSealed Land?â
An elderly voice rang out. Elder Qian, a doddering old man, had showed up at some point, escorting the Thousand-Spirit Saintess to the Tian Feng. Hearing the words of the loathsome cat, his entire body shook.
âCould this place be the legendary Sealed Land where all evils are barred?â
Obviously, Elder Qian was familiar with this so-called Sealed Land.
The loathsome cat looked at Elder Qian in surprise and nodded, âIn my memory, a great battle occurred here. Several great Saints burned their spirit souls together to seal this entire world. No practitioners who participated in that battle escaped this place!â
âThe Supreme Haozong!â Elder Qian exclaimed. Despite his advanced age, he was wide-eyed in shock. He stared at the loathsome cat and asked, âIs this the Supreme Haozong?â
The loathsome cat rolled its eyes at Elder Qian, âHow should I know whether this place is Supreme Haozong or not? I just recalled a certain legend. As for why thereâs a large sealing array here, thatâs something you should answer. What occurred back then?â
Elder Qian shook his head, âI donât know. The Ancient Spirit Race didnât enter hibernation willingly. Instead, they were sealed by others.â
Yang Zhenâs eyes almost popped out. Damn it, who had such amazing divine powers that they could seal the entire Ancient Spirit Race under everyoneâs noses? And all of them fell asleep without a single person getting hurt?
So, the delicate woman in front of him was actually a woman from ten thousand years ago?
This⦠felt rather absurd!
It seemed that Elder Qian saw the doubt in everyoneâs eyes, and he gave a wry smile, explaining, âIn those days, the old ancestors calculated that a great disaster was about to happen to the world. But no matter what, they couldnât figure out what exactly the disaster would be. However, anyone could feel that the worldâs true essence was leaking out, decreasing at an inexplicable speedâ¦â
Upon saying this, Elder Qian sighed, then continued, âThen, I know nothing else!â
The Thousand-Spirit Saintess nodded, âAt that time, many people were cultivating or resting. I just felt a wave of sleepiness coming over me, and this sleep lasted more than ten thousand years!â
Yang Zhen asked with a puzzled face, âDuring those ten thousand years, nobody found you all?â
Then, afraid that he wasnât clear enough, Yang Zhen bluntly asked, âSo⦠where have you all been?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Elder Qian and the Thousand-Spirit Saintess shared a glance, then solemnly said, âThe Mustard Seed Pouch. The entire Ancient Spirit Race was sealed in another space. An unknown mighty being refined the Ancient Spirit Raceâs ancestral land and created an independent world.â
Oh, boy!
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen felt his head throbbing. This world was indeed dangerous. You could suddenly be out walking, sleeping, or even making love, and unpredictably be refined?
What a fucking nightmare!
Yang Zhen could tell that even Elder Qian, a powerful Mahayana Phase practitioner, had a face full of disbelief.
âOld chap!â The loathsome cat sneered, âStop making that unwilling face. If you werenât sealed, you probably would have all been wiped out during the Universe Cataclysm!â
Elder Qian looked shaken, took a deep breath, and looked at the loathsome cat. âWhat Daoist friend said is true, but⦠what exactly happened?â
The loathsome cat was taken aback, âWho should I ask if you ask me? Letâs discuss the Sealed Land instead. They canât get in, so hurry up and tell these idiots to retreat!â
âDoes Daoist think I can control the situation right now?â
Thousands of practitioners were rushing towards the ruins like an overwhelming tide. Even if someone was dismembered in front, the others maintained crazed expressions.
Was it a joke? As long as there was a treasure hoard, wasnât it a common sight to see people die?
The stronger the secret stash, the more people would die once it was discovered. This had been a constant truth since ancient times.
For now, everyone just thought that they hadnât found a way to enter the stash.
Yang Zhen watched with fascination. The saying went, âmen would die for riches as birds for foodâ, and it was fully illustrated in this world of cultivation.
These people were downright insane. This was a Sealed Land established by several great Saints who had burnt their spirit souls. How could a bunch of practitioners break into it?
For ten thousand years, this Sealed Land remained undamaged. This demonstrated the terrifying nature of these great Saints.
What kind of earth-shattering battle had happened back then, so much so that several great Saints were willing to die and had to set up a great sealing array to eliminate all living things?
Yang Zhen glanced at Saint Lin, who was lying on the ground wailing non-stop, then leaped into the air, standing tall in the sky with his clothes billowing. Looking at those people who kept rushing forward, he roared, âEverybody stop for this fucking Sao Saint!â
His voice, as loud as rolling thunder, was amplified by the third dragon elephantâs roar, so startling that everyone felt as if they were deafened. They looked at Yang Zhen in fear.
Elder Qian was dumbfounded as he watched Yang Zhen. He nodded to the Thousand-Spirit Saintess, âI never expected Yang friend would take action to prevent this disaster. He truly has a kind heart. Those⦠rumors about him really donât seem to beâ¦â
Before Elder Qian could finish speaking, Yang Zhen, who stood mid-air, began to curse, âBloody hell, I, Sao Saint, havenât become anxious about the stuff inside yet, but you guys are getting so worked up. Whoever dares to enter before me, I, Sao Saint, swear to dig up your family graves. Even if your ancestors rise from their graves and create a commotion, they canât stop me, Sao Saint. I mean it!â
Elder Qian: ââ¦â
The Thousand-Spirit Saintess looked at Elder Qianâs awkward but polite smile and couldnât help but laugh. She looked at Yang Zhen curiously.
âHuh, they stopped!â Peak Master Mo, with a dazed expression, watched the crowd gradually come to a halt, completely stumped.
As expected, the threat of desecrating a family grave was quite effective.
âYang Zhen, arenât you being too overbearing? Why canât we enter the ruins before you?â
âWhy canât everyone enter an enormous stash like this?â
âDamn it, this Yang Zhen sure has a knack for doing what he says, especially if it involves doing some morally questionable things. Everyone should be careful.â
âMy heavens, how did so many fellow Daoists die in such a short time?â
When someone noticed the bodies scattered all over the ground, they were horrified. When people saw Lin Saint, who was missing an arm and still wailing on the ground, all of them were terribly shocked.
