In a sense, Yang Zhen felt quite miserable.
Having been in the Cultivation World for so long, there are still things in this world that I don't understand.
However, this piqued Yang Zhen's interest. If everyone knew from the beginning that there was nothing in this world, and all they had to do was cultivate until they reached the Emperor Realm, only to face an unsolvable problem of the Principle, and either be killed by heaven and earth or by birth, aging, sickness and death, that would be too boring.
The Principle of this world are not perfect; it can be said to be the precursor to a magnificent world. No one can say for sure what the world will eventually become, whether the Myriad Races that once existed will reappear, or whether those things that were rumored to have perished will reappear.
Yang Zhen was already used to this kind of meticulous unraveling. He would just push forward relentlessly, and whatever appeared would be revealed. One day, the Principle of Heaven and Earth would emerge in a near-perfect form, saying to all things in the world: I am about to reshuffle the deck.
Shuffle your cards, you idiot!
Yang Zhen really wanted to unleash the Principle of Heaven and Earth right now, and see what this bastard would do.
A perfectly good, Savage Wilderness era was ended by the Devil Domain; a perfectly good, Great Wilderness era was ended by the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. Now, the golden age of cultivation has begun, and those who could emerge have probably already emerged. Whether it is something from the Great Wilderness era or something from the Savage Wilderness era, they are gradually coming to the surface.
Therefore, Yang Zhen felt that this baptism of heaven and earth should be the most magnificent and turbulent one in these eras.
Thinking about this, Yang Zhen got a little excited. Damn, fighting against the heavens is endlessly fun. It doesn't necessarily mean defying the heavens, but the idea of being able to change the world at any time is really exciting for people on the blue planet who basically rely on the heavens for their livelihood.
Everyone stared at the Shameless Cat with strange expressions, clearly still recovering from the tension. They were afraid that the Shameless Cat might accidentally transform into a legendary Devil Beast, unleashing a torrent of demonic energy from the Great Wilderness Emperor Road and causing a cataclysmic upheaval.
However, it's clear that this Shameless Cat isn't some kind of Devil Beast. While the demonic energy has no effect on it, it can't restore its strength either, and it doesn't even have the slightest positive effect.
It does have a slight vomiting effect, but it's ultimately pretty useless.
The Shameless Cat seemed to regret its actions, looking back repeatedly, still clinging to the demonic energy, which made everyone's hearts pound.
At this moment, Liu Ning had recovered and was looking at Yang Zhen with a strange gaze, her eyes flickering as if she were thinking about something.
Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er walked beside Yang Zhen. The young girl was as quiet and serene as ever, while Han Yan'er was also unusually quiet, clearly considering the matter of the Land of Five Desolations.
"Boy, be careful what you say once you enter the Land of Five Desolations," Dao Devil said, walking up to Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Legend has it that the Land of Five Desolations can hear the Heavenly Hearing. Under such circumstances, any words spoken may affect the celestial phenomena, and might even incur Heaven's wrath. Not only will you not hear Heavenly Hearing, but you will also bring endless trouble upon yourself," the Dao Devil explained in a low voice.
Yang Zhen nodded and asked, "Is it true that no one has ever entered the Land of Five Desolations?"
Upon hearing this, the Sword Devil and the Dao Devil exchanged a smile and shook their heads.
So, someone did go in after all?
Yang Zhen's eyes lit up as he stared at the two of them, waiting for them to continue.
The Sword Devil took a deep breath and said, "There are indeed people who have entered the Land of Five Desolations, causing turmoil in the heavens and earth, but most of them died inside."
"Died... inside?" Yang Zhen was stunned and asked in surprise, "Why?"
Since it can cause the heavens and earth to tremble, it must be an extraordinary and powerful force.
Most of these people died inside. Just how terrifying is the Land of Five Desolations?
The Sword Devil chuckled and said, "It's not too terrifying. As long as you behave yourself inside, you can leave unscathed. Most of the cultivators who died inside were those whose State of Mind wasn't up to par."
Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. State of Mind, this " Sage of Saunter" is the best at it.
Anyone who knows what they want is not afraid of this kind of State of Mind test.
Want whatever you want, be able to have whatever you want—this last part is the foundation of a stable life.
Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "Human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Those people are not worth regretting, perhaps they are somewhat pitiful, but they don't even know what they want. What were they doing getting involved?"
The Sword Devil and the Dao Devil were taken aback, not expecting Yang Zhen to say such a thing.
Old Ghost Cai looked at Yang Zhen with surprise and said with admiration, "Young friend Yang, to have such insight at such a young age is truly remarkable."
Make a fuss over nothing!
Yang Zhen rolled her eyes at everyone.
What does this prove about something simple or complex? It's a principle that even children on our blue planet who receive nine years of compulsory education understand, so why does it become complicated here?
The group walked slowly, as Yang Zhen intentionally slowed down to give everyone time to prepare.
After all, we're about to enter the Land of Five Desolations, the most magical place on the Great Wilderness Emperor Road. If we're not mentally prepared, going in will definitely turn into chaos.
Just as Yang Zhen led everyone to the entrance of the Land of Five Desolations, his expression suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?"
The Shameless Cat had been observing Yang Zhen's expression the whole way. At first, it was lazy and not worried at all, but when it saw Yang Zhen's expression change, it hurriedly jumped onto Yang Zhen's shoulder and looked at the entrance to the Land of Five Desolations with a wary expression.
"Damn it, don't scare me. You look a bit pale. Is there some danger in the Land of Five Desolations?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed surprise and uncertainty, and they all looked at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen sensed the surroundings carefully and said in a deep voice, "Someone has gone in."
"What?" Old Ghost Cai exclaimed in surprise.
"That's impossible!" both the Sword Devil and the Dao Devil exclaimed in unison.
The three of them quickly approached, and upon sensing what was happening, their expressions changed.
"Could there be another entrance within the Land of Five Desolations?" The Sword Devil's face turned grave as he looked at Yang Zhen and asked, "What should we do? Should we go in now?"
Dao Devil hesitated for a moment and said, "I've never heard of the Land of Five Desolations being accessible from other places. Is this a new discovery, or... have the people inside found the Karmic Dao Source?"
I've never heard of finding the Karmic Dao Source and being able to directly enter the Land of Five Desolations. Otherwise, Yang Zhen would probably have already figured out what's inside the Land of Five Desolations.
Yang Zhen shook his head. The aura inside was extremely powerful, and now it had become extremely chaotic, like a disordered land, without any order, and it was becoming increasingly chaotic.
Clearly, not only did someone enter the Land of Five Desolations, but they also violated some kind of restriction.
Damn it, if we trigger any dangerous restrictions, things will get complicated.
Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "Never mind that, let's go in first. The people inside must have touched something, the Land of Five Desolations seems to have erupted, and it's changing all over the place now. If we don't go in now, we might not be able to get in."
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat upon hearing this, and they hurriedly said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go in quickly!"
With that, the group leaped into the air and rushed towards the Land of Five Desolations.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, banishing the strange emotion from his mind, and took Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er's hands, saying, "No matter what happens, don't stray too far from me."
Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er were both taken aback, then nodded in unison.
"Me too! Me too!" The Shameless Cat raised its hands on Yang Zhen's shoulder.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and stepped inside.
