It's good that we found something!
Seeing their gazes, Yang Zhen grinned and asked, "What did you two discover?"
The Shameless Cat looked at Yang Zhen with a strange expression, shook its head and said, "Boy, your cultivation is too low. A glimpse of a thousand years is just a fleeting moment in the Great Wilderness Era, which is often tens of thousands of years long. I can only see some abnormalities through this evolution of heaven and earth."
Yang Zhen pursed his lips and said, "It's good enough if there's anything abnormal. I'm not a god. Even if I could see tens of thousands of years in a single glance, it wouldn't work. Who knows what happened in the Great Wilderness Era 30,000 years ago? Tell me quickly, what abnormal thing did you see?"
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, the Shameless Cat pointed to a spot not far ahead and said, "It's right there. That expert is definitely not normal!"
The place the Shameless Cat pointed to wasn't far, but the group was located at a very high altitude. After seeing the direction the Shameless Cat was pointing, Yang Zhen muttered to himself, "It'll take another half a day to walk there. In that half a day, the opportunity might be lost."
We must hurry. The Nine Dragons Great Saint has already been discovered. If he finds the ruins of his former sect, even with the power of a Saint Realm expert, it's impossible to keep everyone out.
Besides, even if the Nine Dragons Great Saint were to swallow his pride and keep everyone outside, wouldn't some rats inevitably sneak in?
After confirming the direction the Shameless Cat was pointing, Yang Zhen immediately said to the Heaven-Swallowing Hou, "Quick, buddy, fly in that direction, the faster the better!"
The Heaven-Swallowing Hou had already been tamed by Yang Zhen. Upon hearing this, it roared and moved with lightning speed, rushing over a thousand feet away in the blink of an eye.
The Shameless Cat hesitated for a moment, then Hua Youyue approached Yang Zhen and said, "I have a bad feeling, it seems something big is going to happen in Dustless Territory, and the world may undergo some changes."
Yang Zhen glanced at Hua Youyue and said, "The celestial phenomena are so obvious, things are bound to change. This place has endless mountain ranges. Although Dustless Territory is just a territory, it's too vast. Let's find the Nine Dragons Great Saint first."
Hua Youyue nodded, took Yang Zhen's hand, and said softly, "Be careful. I have a feeling that the dark figure inside the World Within the Compass hasn't disappeared."
Yang Zhen laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying, "That's not true. That dark figure is at least an Emperor Realm expert. Under the current Principle of Heaven and Earth, there's no way for such a thing to exist. Even if it did, it couldn't possibly appear now."
Hearing this, Hua Youyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That being said, Yang Zhen didn't intend to be too conspicuous, as he didn't know what would happen next, and that would easily make him a target.
So, as they approached the peak the Shameless Cat had mentioned, Yang Zhen let the Heaven-Swallowing Hou roam freely.
The Heaven-Swallowing Hou had been sealed inside the Nine Dragons Coffin for countless years. Now that it was out, it was overjoyed to no longer have to follow Yang Zhen. It leaped into the air, urging Yang Zhen and the others to hurry up and get down to business.
Yang Zhen and the other three exchanged glances, then all chuckled and rolled their eyes at the Heaven-Swallowing Hou.
Despite being an ancient ferocious beast, it has fallen into such a comical state. Even Yang Zhen doesn't know whether taming this thing is a good thing or a bad thing; it's simply damaging the reputation of this Sage of Saunter.
When Yang Zhen and the others descended into the air, they were immediately stunned by the sea of people in front of them.
Yang Zhen, in particular, looked at the dense crowd before him and muttered to himself, "Damn it, if I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have bothered with Earth Master Technique; I would have just come straight to the place with the most people."
At the summit, people were everywhere, but the cultivation levels of these cultivators varied greatly, with some even reaching the Spirit Transformation Realm.
However, these Spirit Transformation Realm were clearly not the main characters. To Yang Zhen's surprise, there were quite a few Half-Step Great Saint here, each emanating a vast aura, yet they looked at the summit with respect, as if there were some extraordinary powerful beings above.
Yang Zhen was, after all, a powerful expert at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ninth Heavenly Layer. When he arrived in the crowd, many people immediately made way for Yang Zhen.
"Fellow Daoist, what has happened here?"
Yang Zhen looked at the somewhat simple-minded man beside him and said.
The man scratched his head and said, "Judging from your accent, you don't seem to be from Central Court. Have you just arrived?"
"That's for sure!" Yang Zhen grinned, a harmless smile on his face, and then asked, "Fellow Daoist, what's going on here? There are so many people, including so many Half-Step Great Saint, what are they all waiting for?"
Yang Zhen spoke in a jumbled, incoherent dialect, making the honest-looking man frown. Clearly, he couldn't tell where Yang Zhen Yang Zhen from from his accent.
The three of them —Shameless Cat, Hua Youyue, and Han Yan'er— looked at Yang Zhen with Celestial Person, especially Shameless Cat, whose expression of interest was so intense it was almost palpable.
After hearing Yang Zhen's words, the honest-looking man looked around and whispered to Yang Zhen, "This isn't a secret anymore. Five days ago, it's said that a Saint Realm expert suddenly arrived here and entered a state of enlightenment at the summit. He hasn't woken up yet, and no one has gone up to disturb him. Even Half-Step Great Saint experts can only wait respectfully below."
Yang Zhen was taken aback. This Saint Realm expert was very likely the Nine Dragons Great Saint, but there were very powerful restrictions at the peak, so Yang Zhen couldn't sense the aura above and couldn't make a judgment.
However, it's hard to say for sure. It might not be the Nine Dragons Great Saint above, but rather the Saint Realm expert who wants to cause him trouble. If that's the case, then Yang Zhen should prepare to run for his life.
Yang Zhen glanced curiously at the summit, but it was shrouded in mist and he couldn't see anything except a few jagged rocks. He couldn't even make out what kind of grass or trees were on the rest.
"It's just Saint Realm expert's sudden enlightenment, what are all these people doing here?" Yang Zhen, true to his habit of getting to the bottom of things, made his expression even more harmless.
The man scoffed and said with a sneer, "What else could it be? This is Saint Realm expert! Why would Saint Realm expert appear here instead of somewhere else? That means this place is definitely extraordinary. With the frequent strange phenomena in Dustless Territory these days, perhaps that rare treasure will appear here."
Yang Zhen stared in disbelief at the man who was learning the dialect so quickly, his face full of sudden realization. He nodded and said, "I see. It's said that the Samsara Bell might appear here. I wonder if it's true or not. Also, who exactly are these Saint Realm experts? Haven't we seen any of them?"
The man grinned, secretly pointing to several Half-Step Great Saint at the front of the crowd, and said, "See those? Those are the experts from Dustless Territory. It's said that one of them, Half-Step Great Saint, saw a Saint Realm expert flash by and has been waiting here for five days now."
Yang Zhen listened with amazement, realizing that those Half-Step Great Saint were actually the powerful figures of Dustless Territory.
The Dustless Territory is one of the most powerful forces in the Central Court, and this place is near the Dustless Territory, so it is understandable that the experts from the Dustless Holy Land could come here in the first place.
Just as Yang Zhen was about to ask some other questions, a series of air waves suddenly came from mid-air, and everyone looked in that direction.
Yang Zhen, also filled with curiosity, looked up at the crowd who had exclaimed in surprise, and a strange expression immediately appeared on his face.
A group of more than a dozen people were rushing towards them, their violent aura making them seem like they were there to fight to the death with a Saint Realm expert.
If these people weren't all at the Half-Step Great Saint level, Yang Zhen would almost have believed it.
" Half-Step Great Saint, my god, so many Half-Step Great Saint! It seems the news has already spread. I wonder when the Samsara Bell will appear."
"What Samsara Bell? I certainly don't want Samsara Bell to appear here. With the Saint Realm experts and so many Half-Step Great Saint around, we probably won't even have a chance to catch a glimpse of it."
"Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. Even if we only take a glimpse, we should be content. Whatever kind of rare treasure it is, it will surely fall into the hands of a Saint Realm expert."
"Look, those Saint Realm experts are almost here."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen showed a hint of surprise; these people were quite fast.
When he looked up again, the strange expression on Yang Zhen's High Antiquity immediately turned into amusement.
These dozen or so Half-Step Great Saint were none other than Xue Shou and his group.
Wow, that's incredibly fast! It seems someone among them knew the exact information, saving them a lot of trouble compared to Yang Zhen and the others.
