âPreposterous! In such a short span of time, let alone devising a solution, foresight into the Heavenly Darkness God Cloud Movement would already be an unparalleled gift.â
âIndeed, I used to think of Yang Zhen as someone significant. However, heâs nothing more than a boastful fool.â
âI canât help but laugh, if there truly was a solution, wouldnât all practitioners be fools?â
Voices of discussion rose and swirled among the crowd. Everyone stared at Yang Zhen in disbelief. Lu Guihaiâs face hardened as he fixed his gaze on Yang Zhen. âYang Zhen, they claim your talent is unrivaled. Although I donât know how you escaped from the Thunder Lustre Hellfire, you donât need to pose in front of me. You think of me as some wide-eyed idiot. Not to mention you being able to cultivate the Heavenly Darkness God Cloud Movement and the Divine Soul Magic Method simultaneously, even if you manage to decipher the Heavenly Darkness God Cloud Movement, I will nullify our grudges.â
Upon hearing Lu Guihaiâs words, a shudder ran through the crowd. Clearly, Lu Guihai was as scheming as the rumors said, totally unlike the straightforward Yan Saint.
Lu Guihaiâs words sounded simple, even offering an out for Yang Zhen. He intended to resolve the enmity between them.
But given Yang Zhenâs talents, he might actually be able to successfully cultivate the Heavenly Darkness God Cloud Movement on the spot.
If Yang Zhen were to successfully cultivate the Heavenly Darkness God Cloud Movement, he would not dare to wield the power of the spirit soul in the coming battles, nor for quite a long time after.
For a practitioner above the Divine Travel Stage to not use the power of the spirit soul during battle would be akin to amputating the arm of an expert, significantly hampering their powers.
If Yang Zhen relies on his spirit soul power, his consciousness and physical body would become unbearably sluggish. He would run the risk of losing his life.
Upon realizing this, their gazes towards Lu Guihai shifted in fear and admiration. With his high level of cultivation and cunning mind, it was no wonder Lu Guihai was considered the foremost among Northern Islandâs younger generation.
The Sneaky Cat glared at Lu Guihai, bursting into anger, âDamn, this pretty boy really is a sly and treacherous person. Boy, donât be fooled.â
Upon hearing those words, Lu Guihaiâs countenance dropped, and he glared back at the Sneaky Cat.
Yang Zhen looked utterly bewildered and innocently asked, âFooled? Fooled by what? Brother Lu said if I, Sao Saint, could successfully cultivate the Heavenly Darkness God Cloud Movement, our grudges could be written off. Sneaky Cat, youâre overthinking things.â
As he said these words, Yang Zhen earnestly addressed Lu Guihai, âI didnât expect Brother Lu to be such an open-hearted person. I apologize for misunderstanding you earlier. I hope you will keep your word. I may indeed be able to cultivate the Heavenly Darkness God Cloud Movement. Oh, I canât wait. Iâll start cultivating now. Just give me a quarter of an hour. No, less than a quarter of an hour should be enough for me to succeed.â
The surrounding crowd stared at Yang Zhen in disbelief, looking utterly lost. Even those who had heard of or met Yang Zhen appeared flabbergasted, unsure of what was happening.
âPfft! Rumors really canât be trusted. Everyoneâs described Yang Zhen as a celestial rarity, a marvel of his time, yet now that weâve seen him, heâs nothing but an idiot.â
âFriend, your words are astonishing. Itâs not that Yang Zhenâs an idiot, but that Lu Saintâs words are too deep for most to comprehend. Not everyone can understand. Even though we did guess Lu Saintâs intentions, we are merely observers. Better to speak less to avoid unexpected trouble.â
âThank you for the reminder, my friend. But this Yang Zhen⦠is truly a disappointment.â
A flash of delight crossed Lu Guihaiâs face as he stared at Yang Zhen and burst into laughter, âNaturally, I always keep my word. If you truly can cultivate the Heavenly Darkness God Cloud Movement, not only will we cast aside old grudges, but I will also do my utmost to safeguard the safety of Hua Youyue in the Tri-Floral Temple.â
Yang Zhenâs face lit up as he nodded, âThatâs a promise. I will start my cultivation now!â
With that said, he truly closed his eyes to start cultivating under everyoneâs incredulous gazes. Even Lu Guihai was stupefied, obviously not expecting Yang Zhen to act just as he had spoken, without any hesitation or procrastination.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the honest and straightforward Yang Zhen, unconsciously waiting for him to begin his cultivation.
Only the sneaky catâs eyes were spinning treacherously, his face soon revealed a schadenfreude expression. He hid behind Hua Youyue, muttering to himself in fear of the five clansâ old foxes seeing through him:
âDamn, the kidâs acting skills have improved over the year, even I almost believed his nonsense. But something doesnât feel right. Could this kid actually eliminate the drawbacks of the Heavenly Darkness God Cloud Movement? Not possible, if he could have solved these drawbacks, I, Sao Saint, would have given him the Heavenly Darkness God Cloud Movement long ago. With his terrifying Spirit Soul power, if he cultivated the Heavenly Darkness God Cloud Movement, who else could withstand it?â
In the foggy space of the Tri-Floral Temple, everyone fell silent, their faces full of disbelief as they watched Yang Zhen standing with his eyes closed. The only noise left was the growling from the other end of the iron chain and the clinking sound of the chains.
Hua Youyue and Han Yanâer exchanged glances, neither of them saw worry in each otherâs eyes. In their minds, as long as it was something Yang Zhen was doing, there was nothing to worry about because he would have his ways.
Despite their unworried demeanor, after exchanging glances, the two women moved to Yang Zhenâs sides and started protecting him in silence. Hua Youyue even brought out her Moon Shadow Holy Weapon from behind her.
A hint of annoyance flickered on Lu Guihaiâs face, he looked impatient. He walked out directly under everyoneâs stunned gaze.
Everyone was taken aback, staring at Lu Guihai with complex expressions, thinking he was going to betray Yang Zhen and attack him at this moment.
However, just as Lu Guihai was about to say something, Yang Zhen suddenly opened his eyes.
Damn it! When his eyes opened, Lu Guihai was scared and almost jumped back three feet. He looked at Yang Zhen with uncertainty and blurted, âWhat, what are you doing?â
Yang Zhen blinked and said, âIâve mastered it!â
Mastered it?
Lu Guihaiâs eyeballs nearly popped out. He was immediately furious and shouted, âYang Zhen, you dare to play me?â
Yang Zhen blinked at Lu Guihai with a wronged look and said, âIâm not fooling you, I, Sao Saint, really mastered it. How about I show you a little demonstration?â
As he spoke, before Lu Guihai could yell in disbelief, Yang Zhen wailed, turned around, and said to Han Yanâer, âThis Cultivation Method is suitable for you too. With your level, you can totally master the Heavenly Darkness God Cloud Movement. Oh and by the way, I made minor adjustments to it to suit you more.â
He then, under everyoneâs stunned gaze, actually went over to Han Yanâer, extended his hand, and tapped on her forehead.
Han Yanâer shuddered. Even though it caught her by surprise, she did not dodge but looked at Yang Zhen with burning eyes. After a while, she shook violently and slowly closed her eyes, evidently entering a state of sudden realization.
Thisâ¦
This sudden scene stunned everyone, including Lu Guihai. The people from the five clans and those who came in later were all dumbfounded.
Although Han Yanâer had decent cultivation talents, anyone with clear vision could see that she did not embody a spirit method that matched the Heavenly Darkness God Cloud Movement. Moreover, Han Yanâer was even less suitable for the Heavenly Darkness God Cloud Movement than Yang Zhen. She practiced the Great Sun Brilliance which was swift like lightning. If it were restrained by the Heavenly Darkness God Cloud Movement, her power would be greatly reduced, and she could even become an awkward mix of the two.
Yang Zhen, what on earth is he thinking?
Lu Guihai suddenly burst into laughter, pointed at Yang Zhen, and said scornfully, âYang Zhen, you disappointed me. Do you know what you are doing? You almost ruined Miss Daochi, you idiot!â
