Upon seeing the Nine Dragons Great Saint appear in the holy temple, a hint of surprise flashed across the young woman's face. She stood up and said with a smile, "Legend has it that the Nine Dragons Great Saint was reincarnated from the Nine Dragons Coffin and entered the Gate of Heavenly Void. What brings you to my Yaoguang Holy Land today?"
Nine Dragons looked at the people in the hall and said, "We have come to borrow the Saint-Slaying Sword."
Everyone's expression changed, and the young woman frowned and said, " The Saint-Slaying Sword is the supreme treasure of the Yaoguang Holy Land. How dare the Nine Dragons Great Saint Sage ask to borrow it? Does he think Yaoguang on?"
The Nine Dragons Great Saint nodded and said, "I've only come to inform you that I will return the Immortal-Slaying Sword intact within six months at the latest!"
After saying this, the figure of the Nine Dragons Great Saint vanished from the spot like a Water Moon.
" External Incarnation?" the Grand Elder exclaimed in shock, saying, "It is said that the Nine Dragons Great Saint only possesses one Dao Body. How can he use such Divine Ability as External Incarnation?"
The young woman glanced at the Grand Elder and said, "He has already refined his Dao Body!"
"What?" A look of surprise and uncertainty flashed across the First Elder's face as he muttered to himself, "He actually refined Dao Body! What exactly did the Nine Dragons Great Saint encounter in the Gate of Heavenly Void?"
The young woman shook her head and said, " The Gate of Heavenly Void is ever-changing; no one knows what the Nine Dragons Great Saint encountered inside. Inform them... quickly go and meet Elder Diao and the others!"
Upon hearing the young woman's words, the Grand Elder and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly rushed outside.
However, before the crowd could rush out of the palace gate, they saw a group of people rushing towards them, swaying in mid-air, and then falling to their deaths at the palace gate with a thud.
Elder Diao?
The Grand Elder and the others were startled. After seeing who it was, they were shocked and hurriedly helped the three of them back into the temple with strange expressions.
A flash of anger crossed the young woman's face as she asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
For a mere treasure appraisal event, three Great Saint went, along with two Great Saint from the Three Mountains Holy Land. If they joined forces, there would be a total of five Great Saint.
When the five Great Saint, Elder Diao, and the others returned, they were all seriously injured.
Upon seeing the injuries on Elder Diao and the others, everyone in the temple displayed a look of fury.
Elder Diao and the others were pale-faced, and almost burst into tears upon seeing the young woman.
What... how are they supposed to say that?
The three Great Saint not only failed to help the Yaoguang Holy Son successfully refine the Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda, but were also thrown into chaos by Yang Zhen, a mere Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ninth Heavenly Layer cultivator, with Elder Jian even suffering serious injuries.
The Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda is gone too; that bastard Yang Zhen successfully refined it.
Elder Diao, with a somber face and a tearful voice, recounted all the grievances he had grieved.
It wasn't because Yang Zhen's actions made the Great Saint King cry, it was just... too much bullying.
A mere youth at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ninth Heavenly Layer, facing the World-Ending Heavenly Lotus, not only did he not die, but he also successfully broke through, achieving Physical Body Sanctification and directly surpassing the Half-Step Great Saint, entering the Saint Realm in one fell swoop!
God is being unfair!
"You bastard!"
The young woman snorted coldly, and a surge of energy rippled around her, shattering almost all the furnishings in the hall into dust.
"You mean, Yang Zhen not only successfully broke through within the World-Ending Heavenly Lotus, but even Elder Jian's activation of the Saint-Slaying Sword couldn't kill him?"
Elder Jian looked weary, nodded, and said, "If Yang Zhen is not eliminated, he will surely become a major threat in the future."
The young woman frowned, glaring angrily at Elder Jian and the others. Suddenly remembering something, she asked in a deep voice, "And what about Nine Dragons? Could it be that Nine Dragons is backing Yang Zhen?"
The young woman frowned even more deeply when she thought about the Nine Dragons coming to borrow the Sword of Saint-Slaying Sword.
However, upon hearing the name Nine Dragons, Elder Diao and the others looked even more bitter and dared not utter a word.
"Speak your mind!" The young woman's eyes twitched; for some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
Elder Diao gave a wry smile and said, "Senior Nine Dragons... never stood up for that scoundrel Yang Zhen."
"Then you..." The young woman was so angry she almost slapped Elder Diao away, then exclaimed in surprise, "Where is the Saint-Slaying Sword?"
"It was... it was snatched away by Senior Nine Dragons!"
Elder Jian was on the verge of tears.
"On our way back, we ran into Senior Nine Dragons. For some reason, he seemed to know that the Immortal-Slaying Sword was with us, and without saying a word, he immediately tried to snatch it. We... we were no match for Senior Nine Dragons."
Nine Dragons was a Great Saint on par with the Holy Maiden Tianxuan. Great Saint of that era were all beings who shook the ages.
The three Great Saint Sages were no match for Nine Dragons.
The young woman snorted coldly, staring at the direction where Nine Dragons had disappeared, and said in a deep voice, " Nine Dragons, you've gone too far."
At this point, the young woman waved her hand and said, "You should rest for now. The Nine Dragons wouldn't have seized the Saint-Slaying Sword my Yaoguang Holy Land for no reason; something must have happened."
The fact that Nine Dragons could only accomplish with the help of the Saint-Slaying Sword will soon become common knowledge.
The young woman suddenly smiled and murmured to herself, "This scene seems so familiar!"
Does this look familiar?
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, utterly unaware of what the young woman was thinking.
The Grand Elder suddenly said in a deep voice, "Holy Lord, I will immediately give the order to closely monitor the whereabouts of the Nine Dragons Great Saint."
The young woman waved her hand and said, "You can handle this matter as you see fit. I'm going into seclusion to cultivate."
"Is the Holy Lord about to break through to that level?" Elder Jian exclaimed, his face filled with wild joy.
The young woman gave Elder Jian a strange look, snorted coldly, and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. What use are you if you can't even handle a mere Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ninth Heavenly Layer cultivator?"
A group of people lowered their proud heads.
Deep in the sky, Yang Zhen slowly awoke, and before his eyes were two beautiful flowers Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er.
"You're awake!" A hint of joy flashed across Hua Youyue's face.
Yang Zhen grinned and said, "How about it? I didn't Sage of Saunter you, did I?"
Hua Youyue glared at Yang Zhen slightly, but before she could speak, a loud laugh came from the side, "Boy, you are the most audacious person I have ever seen. Even that guy back then wasn't as troublesome as you."
Yang Zhen turned around curiously and saw Mei Wuhua looking at him with a strange expression on her face.
"That guy?" Yang Zhen felt a strange sensation, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Could it be the person who withstood all 360 Heavenly Tribulation?"
"Huh, you've heard of him?" A look of surprise flashed across Mei Wuhua's face.
Yang Zhen nodded and asked, "Senior, who exactly is that person?"
I've always heard about this person; he's recklessly arrogant and defies the heavens, and yet he's earned such a great reputation.
Yang Zhen could only manage to slash through two or three of the 360 heavenly Heavenly Tribulation, and most of what he had experienced were Heavenly Punishment. Even if he wanted to slash through 360, the heavens wouldn't give him that chance.
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's question, Mei Wuhua looked towards Hua Youyue.
Hua Youyue nodded, Mei Wuhua then spoke, "That person... the greatest person in all of history!"
Yang Zhen became interested and asked, "What makes him the first person in history?"
Mei Wuhua smiled and said, "I have no way of knowing the specifics. I only know that the person's origins are very mysterious. To this day, no one knows where that person came from or where they went..."
