"Young Master Yang, have you noticed anything?"
The voice of the Holy Maiden Qingquan was like the tinkling of Clear Spring, making Yang Zhen feel as if he were bathed in a spring breeze.
Look, this is the composure a disciple of a major sect should have. They're not even angry, so why are you all getting angry?
Upon hearing the Holy Maiden Qingquan's question, Yang Zhen simply fixed his gaze on the Holy Maiden Qingquan's chest... and above that, on her eyes, and shook his head with a smile, saying, "Holy Maiden, what are you saying? How could I possibly see anything?"
Suddenly, the Holy Maiden Qingquan smiled, leaving everyone speechless, some even wiping their drool in disbelief.
"Young Master Yang, do you perhaps not trust a woman's intuition?"
Yang Zhen was stunned, not expecting that the Holy Maiden Qingquan would even use such a powerful weapon as her sixth sense.
It's just that I wouldn't say it outright; there's no benefit in doing so. Why would I, this Sage of Saunter, pretend to know?
Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "My name is Holy Maiden Qingquan Yang Pipi. You can just call me Yang Pipi, or simply Pipi!"
The Holy Maiden Qingquan was taken aback, then smiled and said, "That's an interesting name. Young Master Yang hasn't answered my question yet."
Yang Zhen was about to speak when Holy Son Qingchen snorted coldly and said, "What could he possibly see? If he could see the problem, he naturally wouldn't be cultivating like this. Boy, today is your lucky day. Don't say anything more. There's an even more painful process to come. Just listen carefully."
Seeing the expression on Holy Son Qingchen's face as he looked at Holy Maiden Qingquan, Yang Zhen was stunned. Damn, these days, even a father-in-law can pursue beautiful women?
Yang Zhen smiled honestly and said, "Thanks to the seniors, I have all promoted you, but I don't know why Mr. Qingchen didn't do it?"
"Why should I flatter you?" Holy Son Qingchen sneered, then his expression changed drastically as he stared intently at Yang Zhen, looking as if he wanted to devour him.
The color that had finally returned to Chu Liuhua's face vanished completely.
"What do you want to say?" Holy Son Qingchen stared at Yang Zhen, each word distinct, when suddenly a surge of Dao Rhyme, like a raging storm, erupted from his body and enveloped Yang Zhen.
"Whatever you want to say, since you've been chosen by us today, I, Luo, will see if I can help you break free from your constraints and overcome your limitations!"
boom--!
A terrifying burst of Dao Rhyme power erupted, causing Yang Zhen to stagger and feel pain.
Chu Liuhua stared wide-eyed at Holy Son Qingchen, muttering to himself, "So, that legend was true."
The voice was very soft; if Yang Zhen hadn't been so close to Chu Liuhua, he wouldn't have been able to hear it at all, let alone understand it.
Legends don't come from nowhere; if there's a legend, then it must be true.
Just as everyone's faces showed expressions of horror, Yang Zhen suddenly let out a strange cry, looked at the Holy Maiden Qingquan, and said, "Holy Maiden, save me! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"
Holy Maiden Qingquan frowned, looked at Holy Son Qingchen, and said slowly, "Young Master Luo, perhaps this is inappropriate?"
The Holy Son Qingchen snorted coldly, seemingly not intending to give the Holy Maiden Qingquan any face. Meanwhile, the red-faced Saint Realm elder beside him chuckled and said, "I didn't expect the Holy Son Qingchen 'Qingchen Dao Intent to be so refined. Although this is somewhat painful and torturous for young friend Yang, there are still many benefits."
There are plenty of good guys out there!
Yang Zhen glanced at the red-faced old man. Even if there were benefits, one had to be alive to take them. Under such suppression, if Yang Zhen couldn't withstand it, he would surely die.
Moreover, although the Holy Son Qingchen can control his strength, who knows what 'accidents' might happen during the process.
Even though Holy Son Qingchen was controlling his strength, Yang Zhen still couldn't hold on and either died or was seriously injured. Who can be blamed for that?
Suddenly, the Holy Maiden Qingquan spoke, saying, "Walk side by side, lacking fire but moving metal, coil the Nascent Soul in fire, and follow the heavens through eight cycles."
Upon hearing the words of the Holy Maiden Qingquan, the surrounding crowd was overjoyed. Yang Zhen was taken aback for a moment, but then he immediately understood. After following the Holy Maiden Qingquan's method, he indeed felt much better.
A hint of displeasure appeared on Holy Son Qingchen's face. He glanced at Holy Maiden Qingquan and said, "It seems Holy Maiden Qingquan is eager to start the debate. She even mentioned a method to supplement metal with fire. I wonder how you will deal with me if I join the Lishui faction?"
Buzz--!
A sound like waves rising from the ocean came, and ripples appeared in the Dao Rhyme the Holy Son Qingchen, flowing into Yang Zhen's body along with the power of the Dao Rhyme.
Yang Zhen's newly formed cyclical technique was instantly shattered. Fortunately, Yang Zhen reacted quickly; otherwise, someone else would probably have been vomiting blood and injured.
At this moment, the Holy Maiden Qingquan suddenly spoke again, saying, "Separation from water brings calamity, and extinguishing fire corrodes metal?"
At this point, the Holy Maiden Qingquan pondered for a moment, glanced at Yang Zhen with some surprise, and continued, " The Nascent Soul is closed in four stages, the Qi Road is divided into three, using the Three Heavens to govern Heaven, Earth, and Man, stopping the water, extinguishing the fire, and coiling the gold!"
Yang Zhen was in excruciating pain, but he had already thought of this method before the Holy Maiden Qingquan, and naturally, he had already begun to implement it.
Things have evolved to the point where they're no longer just a simple debate.
Holy Maiden Qingquan could sense that Holy Son Qingchen was making things difficult for Yang Zhen. However, since Yang Zhen was suffering because of Holy Maiden Qingquan Holy Maiden Qingquan, she had no choice but to help Yang Zhen resolve the situation time and time again.
The surrounding crowd listened with rapt attention, memorizing almost all the execution methods. However, their gazes toward Yang Zhen began to show expressions of pity.
Chu Liuhua, in particular, seemed hesitant to speak, and even tried several times to pull Yang Zhen away.
Yang Zhen didn't feel anything special. This kind of debate might be rare and valuable for others, but it was rather commonplace for Yang Zhen.
Just as everyone was getting a little tense, Yang Zhen suddenly exclaimed, "Alright, alright, the Three Talents Formation really worked, but..."
"But what?" Holy Maiden Qingquan asked curiously, taken aback.
Yang Zhen glanced at Holy Son Qingchen and continued, "However, the Heavenly Origin Returns to Three, Three Talents Formation contains a chilling Heavenly Origin Array. If the Heavenly Origin Returns to Nothingness, wouldn't I also become impotent?"
What do you mean by "can't get it up anymore"?
Upon hearing this, the people around almost burst out laughing.
The Holy Son Qingchen didn't laugh out loud; he almost rushed up and hugged Yang Zhen's leg, calling him "Dad."
Damn it, who knows how many years the Holy Son Qingchen has wanted to discuss this issue with the Holy Maiden Qingquan?
Holy Maiden Qingquan was fully aware of the effects of the Heavenly Origin Array on the human body. The only way to solve Holy Son Qingchen's problem was to consult Holy Maiden Qingquan.
But how can such a question be raised face-to-face?
Hearing Yang Zhen ask such a blunt question, Holy Son Qingchen was not only Celestial Person, but almost burst into tears.
This is wonderful! This problem has finally come to the attention of the Holy Maiden Qingquan. It's truly a blessing from heaven!
Countless eyes were fixed on the Holy Maiden Qingquan.
Holy Maiden Qingquan paused, her jade-like face slightly flushed, and she glared at Yang Zhen with a hint of anger. Perhaps there really was a problem, for Holy Maiden Qingquan did not truly become furious. Instead, she took a deep breath and slowly said, "Explain the problem you are facing more clearly."
Holy Son Qingchen's heart pounded wildly; he almost kicked Yang Zhen away so he could address this issue.
But it doesn't matter, as long as it's a problem with the Heavenly Origin Array consolidating power within the body, it can be resolved.
In the entire teahouse, no one was more eager for Yang Zhen to speak up than Holy Son Qingchen.
Little did Yang Zhen know, he was secretly overjoyed, but on the surface he became even more respectful.
Academic issues are rarely difficult to discuss.
Yang Zhen glanced at Holy Son Qingchen, and said with a humble and honest expression, "I just tried it. If the Three Powers are broken and the Two Elements are the master, then the essence will be scorched and the lone yang will not be able to generate. If this continues, the face will turn pale and the lips will turn red, the forehead will be dark, and the eye sockets will begin to sink, making one look more melancholy and profound. In reality, one will suffer from impotence. Wouldn't that mean... I won't have any offspring yet?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, especially the several Saint Realm experts, who all looked at Yang Zhen with surprise, and then slowly turned their gazes to Holy Son Qingchen.
His face was pale but his lips were red, and his forehead was dark; he looked melancholy and profound, but in reality...
Damn it, is this referring to the Holy Son Qingchen?
The Holy Son Qingchen's face turned from ashen to flushed, and he glared at Yang Zhen, roaring, "You're playing me?"
"Yeah!" Yang Zhen grinned.
You're practically trying to kill me, so what if I mess with you?
We're just messing with you!
The Holy Maiden Qingquan looked utterly astonished.
