Chapter 631: Chapter 635: 462 I Want to Keep a Low Profile, But My Strength Does Not Allow It! (Third Update)

The terrifying tremor lasted almost fifteen minutes. When Yang Zhen and company arrived at the location of the Heavenly Mechanism Bridge, their faces all took on a new level of excitement.

Waves of dreadful Heavenly Might rolled towards them. A terrifying bridge straddled a horrifying abyss, its array lines filled with the fragrance of elixirs wafting around, refreshing and orchid-like, rendering everyone intoxicated on scent alone.

Countless medicinal patterns flowed on the bridge. Under their dizzying charm, many of the practitioners with low cultivation fell to the ground with a thump, blissfully asleep.

Exquisite beauty, that’s the only way Yang Zhen could describe the bridge. It was too beautiful, radiant and colorful, every detail nearly perfect. It must have been crafted by a woman.

The Heavenly Snow Saint Lord glanced at the practitioners who lay on the ground. Some were drooling in their sleep, dreaming of something delicious.

“This is the Heavenly Mechanism Bridge. A bridge crafted through alchemy techniques. The only way to reach the center of the Ancient Ruins.”

Upon hearing the Heavenly Snow Saint Lord’s words, everyone drew in a sharp breath. Even though they had been prepared for this scenario, they couldn’t help but peek into the abyss.

Yang Zhen approached the edge of the abyss and craned his neck to look down, asking curiously, “What’s the deal with this abyss?”

Since it’s the only bridge, it definitely can’t be crossed by air. Otherwise, the two major sacred lands, Heavenly Snow Domain, and Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, wouldn’t go to such lengths to gather so many people, or even hold the Heavenly Snow Domain Assembly, finding an alchemy grandmaster like Dan Gui.

The reason Yang Zhen asked was out of curiosity. What was it that prevented even a Divine Transformation Stage powerhouse from flying across this abyss?

Heavenly Snow Saint Lord gave a wry smile and said, “This is the Ancient Ruins, home to countless formidable sages. This Heavenly Mechanism Bridge in front of us was forged by a Pill Saint!”

“What?”

Yang Zhen was taken aback. He turned to look at the gorgeous Heavenly Mechanism Bridge in surprise and said, “It was actually created by a Pill Saint, no wonder it looks so strange.”

“Could it be possible to decipher it?” asked the Heavenly Snow Saint Lord, his face filled with anticipation.

Upon hearing the Heavenly Snow Saint Lord’s question, everyone present turned to look at Yang Zhen, faces full of hope.

Yang Zhen didn’t immediately answer. Instead, he looked into the abyss and said, “There should also be restrictions here, right? Formed by an Array Master?”

The Heavenly Snow Saint Lord gave another bitter smile and said, “If it were only the work of an Array Master, we wouldn’t be making such a big fuss here. We could have just blasted our way through.”

At that moment, Elder Huo stepped forward, patting Yang Zhen’s shoulder. He said, “Daoist Yang, look!”

With that, Elder Huo threw a feather into the abyss. The feather drifted down.

Not long after Yang Zhen sticked his head out, the feather exploded with a bang. The horrifying burst of flames seemed like a full attack from a Divine Transformation Stage powerhouse. The whole abyss roared, and the explosion forced a brutal wind upwards, blowing Yang Zhen’s hair about, his scalp burning with pain.

“Holy hell!”

Yang Zhen jumped back in fright, quickly retracting his head. He looked baffled at the terrifying abyss in confusion. The violence of the burst was more powerful than the combined powers of Duan Sihai and the Insect Puppet!

“Damn, this is… This is definitely not an array laid down by a Saint-level powerhouse!”

Though Yang Zhen was not a Saint-level powerhouse himself, he understood that a Saint-level powerhouse would never be able to lay such a terrifying array or restriction. This restriction had transcended the realm of Heaven and Earth Qi a Saint-level powerhouse could control. If forced to set up such an array, it would be lucky if they even survived, let alone escaped intact.

No wonder the two Sacred Lands said that only by walking over the bridge could one cross. With this kind of Heavenly Restriction, any practitioner who tried to intrude would only face death.

What kind of place was surrounded by such terrifying restrictions?

Yang Zhen felt a spark of interest. Seeing everyone’s hopeful eyes on him, he sighed and walked towards the Heavenly Mechanism Bridge.

“Ah, I actually wanted to keep it low key, but my strength just doesn’t allow for it.”

A group of people was dumbfounded as they watched Yang Zhen walk towards the Heavenly Mechanism Bridge. Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, they were overjoyed.

Death Shadow widened his eyes in shock, “Kid, this is the Heavenly Mechanism Bridge forged by a saint-level power, and it’s done using a special method of alchemy combined with the art of the heavenly mechanism. You… you can break it?”

Not just Death Shadow, even the Heavenly Snow Saint Lord was full of surprise.

They had come here with great hopes that Yang Zhen might crack the prohibitions on the bridge. But when the moment arrived, the Heavenly Snow Saint Lord was excited.

The Heavenly Mechanism Bridge was more formidable than imagined. Looking at the countless rotating patterns on the bridge, they couldn’t begin to understand it, let alone break it. Not only weren’t they alchemists, but this was also a prohibition set by a saint-level power, and Yang Zhen was merely at the peak of the Mahayana Phase in cultivation.

Many people were already starting to doubt. Yang Zhen spoke too casually, and his face looked too relaxed.

Could the prohibitions on the Heavenly Mechanism Bridge really be broken so easily?

Sao Saint crawled onto Yang Zhen’s shoulder with a skeptical look and asked, “Kid, can you really do it?”

Yang Zhen chuckled and whispered, “Of course, man! You don’t know, this Elixir Saint is definitely a master. If this Sao Saint can learn all the techniques on the bridge, I am sure to make a saint-level elixir.”

At these words, Sao Saint’s eyes nearly popped out of his head, he said incredulously, “Really? A saint-level elixir is not something one can casually make. It’s a Heaven and Earth Treasure, containing the heavenly mechanisms, and more difficult to forge than saint weapons.”

Yang Zhen laughed heartily, “Do you know what feelings I’m having now?”

“What feelings?”

Sao Saint asked with a confused look.

Yang Zhen pointed to the beautiful Heavenly Mechanism Bridge in front of him, saying, “I get the feeling that the treasuries of these ancient ruins are the most precious. Everything else, including whatever Qi from the Heavenly Machine Lock, is not as good as this!”

Sao Saint grimaced, “Kid, you’ve never seen the Qi of the Heavenly Machine Lock. As soon as you see it, you won’t have such ridiculous delusions!”

Yang Zhen twitched, recollecting his oversight. He had subconsciously left out the Qi of the Heavenly Machine Lock that resided within him when he spoke earlier.

“Is the Qi of the Heavenly Machine Lock really that precious?”

“More than precious. After obtaining the Qi of the Heavenly Machine Lock, one is almost guaranteed to walk the path to greatness. Do you know how many people in the world want to get the Qi of the Heavenly Machine Lock?” Sao Saint replied, with a sneer.

“Even those powerful saints are eager to get the Qi of the Heavenly Machine Lock. You said that the secrets on the Heavenly Mechanism Bridge are more precious than the Qi of the Heavenly Machine Lock, but do you know that the saint who set this prohibition might also be desperately looking for the Qi of the Heavenly Machine Lock?”

Yang Zhen was taken aback by Sao Saint’s words. He hadn’t expected the Qi of the Heavenly Machine Lock to be so precious, according to Sao Saint so much that even the saint who set up the Heavenly Mechanism Bridge might be looking for it too.

It’s all a matter of perspective, and Yang Zhen still felt that the alchemy techniques on the Heavenly Mechanism Bridge were what he wanted most.

“This Sao Saint just wants to ask you one thing!”

“What thing?” Sao Saint was taken aback.

“Is there only one way to walk the path…?” Yang Zhen leisurely gazed at Sao Saint.

“Of course there’s not… Holy shit, kid, are you planning to fathom the path on your own?”
