When Yang Zhen arrived at the Emperor's Garden, Empress Fengyu was waiting for him at the entrance.
You were looking for me?
Yang Zhen asked directly, his face full of curiosity.
The Empress nodded and said, "Follow me!"
As he spoke, he walked into the Emperor's Garden.
Yang Zhen was completely bewildered, but followed them inside, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.
Empress Fengyu waved her hand, and a barrier resembling a water curtain enveloped the entire Emperor's Garden.
Yang Zhen opened his mouth and asked, "Isn't this a bit much? What are you trying to do?"
To be honest, Yang Zhen was a little scared. What if Miss Feng Yu also took a fancy to his handsome appearance? Wouldn't he have to personally weave a green hat for his fellow villager from Nine Dragons?
Empress Fengyu glanced at Yang Zhen with some surprise and said, "There's something I'd like to ask for your help with!"
"What kind of help?" Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, at least there was a girl who wasn't attracted by his Sage of Saunter appearance.
Seeing Yang Zhen breathe a sigh of relief, Empress Fengyu's High Antiquity expression deepened. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "If there truly is Devil Emperor's inheritance, I need you to bring something back for me."
"What? It's so mysterious?"
Yang Zhen asked curiously, "What good things could the Devil Emperor possibly have that even the Empress would covet?"
Oh dear, we might really have to make a trip to Slug Bank Mountain. Something even the Empress covets must be something extraordinary.
As expected, Empress Fengyu spoke without hesitation, " Devil Emperor are different from Dao cultivators who become emperors. They possess a Life-Bound Devil Runes. I need this Devil Runes. Of course, I don't need the Devil Pattern Origin, nor can you obtain the complete Devil Pattern Origin. That's something unique to Devil Cultivator. I only need to bring back a rubbing, or even just a copy."
Yang Zhen thought it was something extraordinary. Devil Runes should be similar to, or even inferior to, Heaven and Earth True Runes and Heaven and Earth True Runes. After all, Heaven and Earth True Runes and earth are born of heaven and earth, while Devil Runes are unknown, as they may be born from Devil Cultivator themselves.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen nodded and said, "If I can find it, I will definitely bring it back to you. The Devil Emperor... could he be resurrected?"
If he were to be resurrected, then he wouldn't go. It's too dangerous. There's no profit in such a dangerous situation, so Yang Zhen wouldn't take the risk.
To everyone's surprise, Empress Fengyu smiled and said, "It's possible for the Devil Emperor to be resurrected, but not in the Main Realm, because the order of the Main Realm will not allow the Devil Emperor to be resurrected here. So you may go ahead, but as for the inheritance of Devil Cultivator... you'd better not pursue it."
"Why?" Yang Zhen asked curiously.
"There was once someone who researched the lineage of Devil Cultivator and nearly lost his life!"
Seeing the somber expression on Empress Fengyu's face, Yang Zhen knew that this guy who had almost lost his life probably had a deep connection with Empress Fengyu.
Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, "So, besides preventing the Devil Cultivator from obtaining the Devil Emperor's inheritance, we won't gain any benefits from this trip to Slug Bank Mountain?"
Look at this, is this something a decent person would do?
Who would do something without benefit?
Empress Fengyu chuckled and said, "Of course it won't be without any benefits. If there really is Devil Emperor's inheritance, the Devil Emperor's understanding of heaven and earth can help you break through quickly, and even obtain the opportunity to become an emperor."
Dig up the grass!
That's a bit scary.
But why is it that the Devil Emperor's understanding of heaven and earth can grant Dao cultivators the opportunity to become emperors?
Aren't Daoist cultivators forbidden from using the Devil Emperor's items?
Seemingly sensing Yang Zhen's confusion, Empress Fengyu said, "Understanding one principle illuminates all principles. If you can truly witness the Devil Emperor's legacy, you will understand."
Well, here comes another Buddhist saying that cannot be spoken.
However, it successfully aroused Yang Zhen's curiosity. Given Yang Zhen's self-serving nature, even if he couldn't gain anything, he couldn't let the Devil Cultivator get their hands on it, as that would cause considerable trouble when they fought later.
As someone once said, weakening the enemy is strengthening oneself.
"Take this for self-defense." Empress Fengyu took out a feather and handed it to Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen took it with a strange expression, muttering to himself, "I never thought that even this Sage of Saunter would have a day when he uses a chicken feather as a sword."
Empress Fengyu glared at her and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense."
Yang Zhen chuckled, not minding at all, waved his hand, and left the Emperor's Garden.
When Yang Zhen left, Empress Fengyu let out a soft gasp and looked at Yang Zhen with surprise.
The restrictions she set up only trembled slightly; they were not removed, nor were they able to stop Yang Zhen.
Only then did Empress Fengyu realize that she had underestimated Yang Zhen.
When Yang Zhen reappeared at the Three Flowers Holy Land, Rong Hexuan and the others were still there.
Yang Zhen asked with a strange look, "Why haven't you left yet?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Hexuan and the others looked embarrassed, glanced towards the Emperor's Garden, and hesitantly asked, "Is the Empress alright?"
The old lady?
Hearing this, Yang Zhen rolled his eyes at Rong Hexuan, wondering if Empress Fengyu would conjure up a chicken feather to poke this old geezer to death after hearing this.
Yang Zhen waved his hand, not answering the question, and said, "Let's make preparations as soon as possible. Does Sect Leader Rong really intend to take such a small group to Slug Bank Mountain?"
Rong Hexuan's expression brightened, and he hurriedly shook his head, saying, "Of course not, I've already made arrangements. Someone will arrive soon, and then we'll go to Slug Bank Mountain together, and the news will spread."
Over the next two days, Yang Zhen familiarized himself with the Three Mountains Holy Land and arranged everything before starting preparations.
The two inseparable creatures, Shameless Cat and Flirtatious Chicken, followed Yang Zhen the whole time, leaving Yang Zhen completely bewildered.
What are you two trying to do?
The Flirtatious Chicken turned its head away and buried its head under its wing, pretending not to hear.
The Shameless Cat glared and said, "Boy, you're not going to leave me here in the Three Flowers Holy Land this time. I haven't been out having fun for so long, my body's gotten rusty. This Devil Emperor's inheritance from Slug Bank Mountain, I'm going to have it!"
Yang Zhen exclaimed "Oh my!" and looked at the Shameless Cat curiously, asking, "You can also practice magic?"
"What is magic?" the Shameless Cat asked curiously.
Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, " The Cultivation Method of Devil Cultivator, or magic for short."
The Shameless Cat chuckled and said, "Kid, who do you think you are? There's no magic in this world that I can't cultivate!"
Yang Zhen's eyes lit up immediately, and then he said in a serious tone, "That won't do. What kind of cat practices magic? Even if you want to practice, you have to give yourself a prestigious name first."
The Shameless Cat let out a strange cry, its face beaming with excitement, and said, "What name? I've long disliked being called 'Shameless Cat,' it's too vulgar! Kid, you must give me a truly impressive name."
"Of course!" Yang Zhen pondered for a moment, then stared at the Shameless Cat and asked, "Since we're going to practice magic, how about we name him Harry Potter?"
"What?!" The Shameless Cat looked completely bewildered.
" Harry Potter, the most powerful magician in our village, is an idol worshipped by all the kids, big and little, a world-class icon, isn't that amazing?"
"Hahaha, from now on I'll be called Harry Potter! Kid, when are we leaving? I'm going to show those Devil Cultivator what real trouble is all about."
Yang Zhen pursed her lips, then suddenly frowned and said, "I don't think Harry Potter is good enough."
"Why?" The Shameless Cat was taken aback.
"Because it's not easy to understand, and it's a bit awkward to pronounce," Yang Zhen said, frowning.
"Then what should we do?" The Shameless Cat seemed to have the same question.
Yang Zhen clapped his hands and said, "It's decided! We'll add 'Don't be too big' to the end. That way it'll be both catchy and easy to understand."
" Harry Potter... don't be too big?"
