Yang Zhen himself wasn't quite sure if he had any syndrome, but seeing the vast, dark mass of people covering the mountains and fields did give him a chill down his spine.
There were far too many people. Yang Zhen had never seen so many people before. Even in a war between two countries, this was probably the largest number. Could those scenes of hundreds of thousands of troops really exist?
Enlightenment Pavilion Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, with towering peaks and lush green vegetation, appearing full of life. However, under the influence of waves of terrifying energy, it looks particularly pitiful.
Even the most vibrant mountains cannot withstand the violent aura of so many cultivators.
Fortunately, everyone subconsciously restrained their aura; otherwise, if so many people unleashed their full power, this place would probably have been reduced to scorched earth in an instant.
Although there were many people on Enlightenment Pavilion Mountain, just as Qi Yunling said, they were divided into several major camps.
No matter the occasion, the surrounding area is always filled with Rogue Cultivator, who gather around the major factions in layers, their faces filled with awe and curiosity.
From mid-air, Yang Zhen and the others could see the people from the various factions very clearly. Yang Zhen, in particular, could almost see the factions clearly at a glance.
Qi Yunling pointed to the largest group of people in the far distance and said, "That's the territory of the Heavenly Joy Holy Land. They are one of the most powerful holy lands in the Central Court. They have quite a few people here. It is said that there are more than a dozen of them who are only Half-Step Great Saint."
Yang Zhen suddenly realized, no wonder those people looked familiar, they were from Heavenly Joy Holy Land.
Yang Zhen's first impression of Heavenly Joy Holy Land was that it was extremely arrogant and disdainful of others. Originally, Yang Zhen thought it was just a few individual disciples, but now that he saw the uproar in the camp, it was clear that this was the general atmosphere of Heavenly Joy Holy Land.
Bo Tai had been watching Yang Zhen's expression closely. When he saw Yang Zhen meet Heavenly Joy Holy Land, he was only slightly taken aback before a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he muttered something to himself.
A hint of curiosity flashed across Qi Yunling's face as she asked, "Fellow Daoist Tieniu Niu, have you heard of the Heavenly Joy Holy Land?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback, and after a moment he remembered that his current Yang Tieniu. He immediately nodded and said, "I've heard of him, but I'm not very familiar with him. I've heard that the people from Heavenly Joy Holy Land are all arrogant and look down on everyone. I don't really like them."
Qi Yunling was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Tieniu Niu is truly witty. Such a description of the people of Heavenly Joy Holy Land is quite apt. It is said that Heavenly Joy Holy Land has an extremely long and powerful heritage, and even other holy lands in the Central Court have to give it some respect."
Yang Zhen looked at Qi Yunling with curiosity and asked, "Even your Aurora Holy Land gives them face?"
Bo Tai snorted coldly, about to speak, when Qi Yunling nodded and said, "Guests from afar, we are, after all, a lineage from the Eastern Continent, and should naturally yield to you."
Look, look, that's true composure, far superior to that hothead Bo Tai.
Eastern Continent was the name given to the Great Wilderness Era of the East Sea. At that time, the East Sea continent was just one continent in the Great Wilderness World, which shows how vast the world was back then.
Yang Zhen looked curiously at a somewhat gloomy camp not far from the Heavenly Joy Holy Land and asked, "Who are those people?"
Bo Tai's face showed a hint of mockery as he said, " Tieniu Daoist Tie Niu has really lived in the deep mountains for so long that you haven't even heard of the people of the Black Lotus Holy Land?"
Black Lotus Holy Land?
How dark is it?
Yang Zhen looked at Qi Yunling with a curious expression.
Qi Yunling explained with a smile, " The Black Lotus Holy Land has always had very few successors, but this does not mean that their inheritance is inferior to others. On the contrary, the Black Lotus inheritance has always been mysterious and powerful. Every successor chosen by the Black Lotus Holy Land is an exceptional individual, a genius who will almost certainly break through to the Saint Realm."
Will he inevitably break through to the Saint Realm?
Yang Zhen was taken aback. The lineage from the Great Wilderness era was indeed wild enough; someone actually dared to claim that their disciples would inevitably become Saint Realm experts?
Yang Zhen had never heard of the Black Lotus Holy Land; it must be a recently emerged force.
No wonder the Black Lotus Holy Land seemed to be targeting the Heavenly Joy Holy Land; it turns out they were evenly matched, neither willing to back down.
Qi Yunling sighed and said, "When we came here, the Holy Lord told us that the power dynamics in the Central Court are extremely complex. What is a prestigious family today may become a thing of the past tomorrow. Amidst all these changes, those that survive are almost all ancient lineages."
Yang Zhen nodded, completely agreeing. Who could withstand such a chaotic situation where someone could sleep for tens of thousands of years without even realizing it?
Without a solid foundation, some people and forces simply vanish while they're asleep.
What Yang Zhen found somewhat strange was why, among so many secret inheritances, he had never encountered anyone who was currently asleep.
It seems I need to pay more attention to this in the future. It would be quite interesting to see someone who has been sleeping for tens of thousands of years still asleep.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly arose on Enlightenment Pavilion Mountain. A group of strange cultivators dressed in red descended from mid-air, found a place next to the Black Lotus Holy Land, and quieted down.
In an instant, almost everyone's eyes fell on these people in red.
To Yang Zhen's surprise, almost half of these red-clad figures were Half-Step Great Saint, numbering as many as twenty.
"Such a powerful aura, who are these people?" Yang Zhen asked almost without thinking.
Qi Yunling and the others looked rather grim. After hesitating for a moment upon hearing this, they said, "People from East Sea Coral Island."
East Sea Coral Island?
Yang Zhen was taken aback. Was there really such an island in the East Sea?
Yang Zhen was quite familiar with Turtle-Snake Island and Donglin Island, but he had never heard of a place called Coral Island. It sounded harmless, but the aura emanating from these people was rather sinister.
One or two demons, like evil spirits from the Nine Nether Purgatory, landed on the ground, and almost everyone formed a terrifying energy field around them, beginning to plunder the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
What kind of Cultivation Method is this? It's so bizarre and domineering!
If it were just one or two people, it wouldn't be so bad, but with over thirty of them all releasing such terrifying Yuan energy fields, almost everyone around them paled.
Yang Zhen watched in amazement. These people were all incredibly arrogant. If this continued, before the Samsara Bell even appeared, these forces would probably start fighting.
Seeing the unpleasant expressions on Qi Yunling and the others' faces, Yang Zhen asked curiously, "Do you have a grudge against them?"
"It's more than just hatred!" Bo Tai's face flashed with hatred as he gritted his teeth and said, "For countless years, the people of Coral Island have been objects of the Aurora Holy Land's death warrant."
"So ruthless?" Yang Zhen was startled and said, "But there are so many Half-Step Great Saint among them, are you going too?"
Qi Yunling smiled and said, "It's my master's command, Tieniu Niu. It seems our fate ends here. For your safety, you should leave."
Yang Zhen was taken aback, looked at Qi Yunling with surprise, then laughed and said, "I don't like hearing that. You're saying that once the relationship is over, it's over? Maybe they'll give me face and not make things difficult for you."
Bo Tai, enraged, laughed and pointed at Yang Zhen, saying, "You're so ungrateful! Those are all Half-Step Great Saint. If you still follow us, you probably won't even know how you died."
Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, "You might not believe it, but out of the tens of thousands of people here, probably half of them Niannian for my immediate death!"
"Wh... what?" A look of surprise flashed across Qi Yunling's face, clearly not understanding what Yang Zhen meant.
