Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone present burst into laughter.
"Boy, it's good to have confidence, but don't talk about reviving the Sacred Vein. Even we old folks wouldn't dare say such a thing, let alone someone as lowly as a Saint Realm cultivator."
Elder Diao said with a smile, looking every bit like a highly respected senior.
Yang Zhen wore a simple and honest expression; his wild demeanor combined with his naive look made him look exactly like the simple-minded son of the landlord next door.
"So what do you want to do inside the forbidden area?"
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, Qi Lin also looked at Elder Diao and the others with curiosity.
Elder Diao's smile deepened. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "The dragon head here is missing, and the wind and thunder are blocked. If we don't clear the obstruction, we might not even have three days left. Although the Lin Race has been trying their best to hold on, Yang Zhen has taken the Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda. We came here today to wait for him to appear."
At this point, Elder Diao glanced at the First Elder beside him, who snorted coldly and said, "Why bother explaining so much to them?"
Elder Diao smiled and said, "Let's explain it to avoid any conflict. The Yaoguang Holy Land and the Lin Race have lived near Qianyuan Ridge for generations; this can be considered a karmic connection."
The First Elder glanced at Elder Diao and said to Yang Zhen in a deep voice, "Boy, Elder Diao has made himself so clear, can't you understand?"
Yang Zhen continued to play the foolish son of the landlord, shaking his head and thinking for a moment before his eyes lit up. Under the elder's surprised gaze, he honestly replied, "I can't figure it out!"
"You!" The First Elder's lips trembled with rage as he pointed at Yang Zhen and said, "Utter wood, utter wood... Yang Zhen stole the Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda, and we're waiting for him here. How can we allow the Holy Maiden Tianxuan to die from the depletion of her sacred veins before we even arrive?"
Yang Zhen suddenly realized, a look of surprise appearing on his face, and said, "So, you're here to help?"
Elder Diao finally showed a satisfied expression and said, "Boy, now you should believe me, right? There's actually no conflict between us. On the contrary, we will spare no effort to help you wait for Yang Zhen and hold out until the Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda arrives."
I don't believe you, you old geezer! You're full of bad intentions!
Yang Zhen outwardly wore a look of delight, but inwardly he was already rubbing those old geezers' faces into the ground.
Elder Diao and the First Elder are right; the sacred veins here have indeed dried up, which will definitely affect the Holy Maiden Tianxuan.
Yang Zhen simply didn't believe that the three old men had come to stabilize the sacred vein.
If they wanted to stabilize their sacred veins, they would have come long ago. Why wait until Yang Zhen stole their Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda?
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, "No, I can't let you in."
"Cousin... cousin!" Qi Lin looked embarrassed.
"You!" The First Elder sneered, saying, "Boy, don't be ungrateful. We've meant well; if you waste our time, who can bear the responsibility?"
Elder Diao said unhurriedly, "We are not in a hurry to kill Yang Zhen, but if Yang Zhen hadn't come, the Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda wouldn't have come here. And if anything happens to the Holy Maiden Tianxuan, will your clan leader let you off?"
Yang Zhen glanced at Qi Lin, who was clearly showing signs of distress, and said with a sneer, "I think I just said that I can restore my Sacred Veins!"
"This is utterly absurd!" Elder Diao abandoned his act of being a nice guy, his face contorted with rage. He pointed at Yang Zhen, his fingers trembling with anger, and he could barely speak.
"I'll see today how a mere child like you can restore your entire sacred vein!"
The Grand Elder also laughed heartily, looking at Yang Zhen with an absurd expression, and said, "Boy, don't say that my Yaoguang Holy Land didn't give you a chance. You have half a day. If you haven't made any progress within half a day, I will kill you and still break into the restriction."
Half a day?
Yang Zhen was taken aback. He hadn't expected these old men to be so calm State of Mind, and they even planned to give him half a day.
What should I do with this half-day?
The people around Yang Zhen stared in disbelief, their eyes filled with the same sense of absurdity.
The Grand Elder and the others are right; restoring the sacred veins that were damaged by the rules of heaven and earth is almost an impossible task.
No, it's not entirely impossible!
The legendary Emperor Realm experts can alter the celestial phenomena and landforms with a mere gesture, so there is still a good chance of repairing a sacred vein.
However, I have never heard of a cultivator below the level of Great Saint being able to repair a sacred vein, not even by fortuitous opportunity.
At this moment, more people stepped out from the crowd and came before the Grand Elder and the others; it was none other than the Holy Maiden Qingquan and her companions.
Beside the Holy Maiden Qingquan Holy Maiden Qingquan, her master was prominently displayed. To Yang Zhen's surprise, the Yaoguang Holy Son was also among the crowd.
Yang Zhen was surprised again upon seeing the aura emanating from the Yaoguang Holy Son.
This guy's recovery ability is amazing; he's almost fully recovered in just a few days.
It's said that the Three Mountains Holy Land is famous for its health preservation methods, and seeing the radiant face of the Yaoguang Holy Son, Yang Zhen was starting to believe it.
Upon hearing the Grand Elder recount the events with a grim expression, Holy Maiden Qingquan exclaimed in surprise, looking at Yang Zhen with a strange expression and saying, "How is this possible? A Saint Realm Lin Race youth actually wants to repair the entire Saint Vein?"
Even the Holy Maiden Qingquan doesn't believe it, so who else would?
For a moment, everyone looked at Yang Zhen as if he were a fool.
Qi Lin stood behind Yang Zhen, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating. He looked all alone, making him appear pitiful to behold.
Yang Zhen patted Qi Lin on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, with your cousin here, I won't let anyone disturb the Holy Maiden Tianxuan!"
Qi Lin nodded heavily and said to Yang Zhen, "Cousin, I'll protect you!"
Yang Zhen laughed heartily and said, "No need, just watch your cousin put on a show for you... perform a magic trick!"
"What is magic?" Qi Lin asked with a curious expression.
Yang Zhen did not answer the question. Instead, he glanced at the Grand Elder and the others with a half-smile, then leaped into the air.
Seeing this, the Grand Elder was so angry that his beard stood on end.
"This is utterly absurd! Reviving the Sacred Vein is a technique to revive the earth's feng shui, and this kid has actually flown into the air?"
Elder Diao gave a wry smile and said, "Elder, please calm down. We have some time anyway, so let's give this kid half a day. After half a day, if we join forces, along with Fellow Daoists from the Three Mountains, we'll definitely be able to break in."
"Snort!"
The First Elder snorted coldly, and although he didn't quite believe it, he still looked intently at Yang Zhen.
When the Holy Maiden Qingquan saw Yang Zhen fly up, a strange expression appeared on her face. The Yaoguang Holy Son, seeing this, asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
The Holy Maiden Qingquan shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that this person seems... nothing, maybe I'm just being paranoid."
The Yaoguang Holy Son glanced at Yang Zhen, then looked around as if searching for Yang Zhen's whereabouts.
Yang Zhen isn't someone you can just find whenever you want.
In mid-air, Yang Zhen surveyed the entire landscape of the Azure Dragon Biting Its Tail Land, slowly closed his eyes, and a savage aura surged wildly from his body, with terrifying earth elemental energy beginning to condense beneath his feet!
