The Heaven-Swallowing Hou's speed remained neither too fast nor too slow; in any case, the fastest phantom, the Heavenly Scorpion, couldn't catch up.
Yang Zhen wasn't in a hurry to travel, and leisurely headed towards the Three Flowers Holy Land.
With the proud and aloof Empress of Emperor Su Palace accompanying him along the way, it wasn't too boring. However, Yang Zhen was somewhat curious about what exactly the Devil Emperor Quanyang was all about.
When asked this question, Empress of Emperor Su Palace hesitated for a moment before saying, "Legend has it that after the Devil Emperor Quanyang destroyed most of the Devil Domain, he came to the Main Realm through the Demonic Sect to cultivate himself..."
"Wait a minute..." Yang Zhen was taken aback, looking at the Empress of Emperor Su Palace with a strange expression, and asked, "Cultivating oneself? Are you sure this Old Devil is cultivating himself to such an exaggerated degree?"
Empress of Emperor Su Palace glanced at Yang Zhen and nodded, saying, "The legend is true. However, the Devil Emperor Quanyang had already suffered some mental problems back then. Under the overwhelming demonic energy, he soon attracted the attention of powerful beings at the Great Wilderness Emperor Realm, triggering a war."
Yang Zhen's eyes widened. He said, "It triggered a war? Isn't that ridiculous? The Devil Emperor Quanyang just destroyed most of the Devil Domain. He's here in the Main Realm to recuperate, so let him recuperate. As long as he stays put, who cares whether he's cultivating himself or just trying to survive? Fighting him at this time would only destroy half of the Main Realm!"
The Shameless Cat curled its lip and said, "Who says otherwise? These people are completely out of their minds."
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, Empress of Emperor Su Palace was taken aback, then said with a wry smile, "You're right. That war did indeed have a wide-ranging impact, nearly destroying the entire Central Court. If it weren't for that person intervening, perhaps..."
It's that same person again!
Yang Zhen skipped a beat. This guy really was persistent; could he have even become friends with the Devil Emperor Quanyang?
As expected, Empress of Emperor Su Palace said with a smile, "That battle reportedly involved two Emperor Realm experts and a Great Wilderness inheritance. The Great Wilderness inheritance was nearly destroyed, so how could it let it go? Not only was the matter not resolved, but that person also fought with the Devil Emperor Quanyang, ultimately ending in a bitter dispute. However, that person seemed unable to contain his anger and went back to wreak havoc on the Great Wilderness inheritance, tricking the Devil Emperor Quanyang out of a kind of Heaven and Heaven and Earth True Runes before disappearing."
Yang Zhen was dumbfounded and clicked his tongue in amazement, saying, "This guy is a real talent, daring to even trick the Devil Emperor Quanyang?"
Empress of Emperor Su Palace gave a wry smile, shook her head, and remained silent.
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable's face flashed with a serious expression. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Boy, I think you seem to be even more shameless than that person."
"What?"
Yang Zhen glared and said, "How am I shameless? I didn't swindle anything from the Devil Emperor Quanyang, nor did I harm anyone's Great Wilderness heritage. At most, I was just showing off. If you don't show off in life, aren't you no different from a salted fish?"
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable looked at Yang Zhen quietly and said, "You didn't trick the Devil Emperor Quanyang out of his things, but you directly robbed him. That would probably enrage him even more than tricking him."
Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "He's not fully conscious right now. Let's wait until he's sober before he jumps again, but by then he'll probably have forgotten all about it."
Empress of Emperor Su Palace was taken aback and said, " The Devil Pattern Origin is also of paramount importance to the Devil Emperor Quanyang; he surely wouldn't forget it."
"Never mind the details, oh dear, we're almost there."
Yang Zhen's expression brightened; now he could finally properly develop the Three Flowers Holy Land, right?
Having been constantly on the move, Yang Zhen hadn't had a proper rest. Now that he had obtained the Devil Runes and the people from the Shangyuan Sect had moved here, and with Devil Cultivator everywhere, it was quite dangerous. Yang Zhen decided to properly develop the Three Flowers Holy Land, ensuring it didn't live up to its name and lacked even the strength to protect itself.
Seeing the Three Flowers Holy Land so close at hand, Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable also showed a relieved expression, smiling as he said, "We're finally back. The entire Great Wilderness is probably in chaos. Only in the Three Flowers Holy Land can we feel a sense of belonging."
Yang Zhen chuckled and said, "You already have someone you love, don't you?"
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable had a smug look on his face, and you couldn't tell at all that he was a decrepit old man.
Cultivation is truly wonderful; even after such a long period of time, it cannot leave any marks on a cultivator's body.
Yang Zhen stretched and turned to Chen Xiaotian and the others, saying, "Stop chasing me, I'm home already."
A series of deafening roars echoed through the air, and a dark golden light flashed across the sky. After the restrictions of the Three Flowers Holy Land were lifted, the Heaven-Swallowing Hou flashed into them.
On the Heavenly Scorpion, Chen Xiaotian's face flashed with a look of fury. He stood tall and said to Yang Zhen, " Yang Zhen, the Devil Pattern Origin is not something a Daoist cultivator like you can control. Even if you obtained it, you wouldn't be able to refine it. The Three Flowers Holy Land is a renowned existence in the Great Wilderness's heritage. Are you going to just stand by and watch the Three Flowers Holy Land be destroyed in your hands?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen exclaimed "Oh!" and stood up, staring at Chen Xiaotian, saying, "Old man, are you trying to scare me?"
Chen Xiaotian laughed heartily, a hint of disdain on his face, and stared at Yang Zhen, saying, "Even if I'm just bluffing you, what can you do about it?"
Yang Zhen Yang Zhen very fast; if he wanted to leave, it would be difficult for anyone present to stop him.
Just like Chen Xiaotian and the others who have cultivated the Heavenly Devil Disintegration, once you reach that level of strength, killing someone is not such an easy task.
Behind Chen Xiaotian, Shuya's face also flashed with a confident expression. He sighed and said, " Yang Zhen, although I don't want to admit it, you are the second Daoist cultivator I have seen in all these years who has made me look at you differently. As for that guy back then... well, let's not talk about it. You should just hand over the Devil Pattern Origin. It won't do either of us any harm."
In mid-air, the dark Devil Cultivator stretched as far as the eye could see.
However, the group from the Emperor Su Palace seemed quite insignificant among the Daoist cultivators.
However, a person's reputation precedes them. The Emperor Su Palace is, after all, a place that was once on par with the Three Flowers Holy Land, and its extraordinary mystery led to a difference in status and position.
A hint of hesitation flashed across the old woman's face, but upon seeing the Empress standing beside Yang Zhen, a look of joy immediately appeared on her face. She stepped out from the crowd and approached the barrier of the Three Flowers Holy Land, saying, " Granny Yue Emperor Su Palace Yue requests an audience with the Three Flowers Holy Maiden!"
" The Three Flowers Holy Maiden is not here!"
A calm voice rang out, and Hua Youyue and her group emerged from the Three Flowers Holy Palace.
Mei Wuhua looked at Granny Yue with a surprised expression and said, "I didn't expect that after all these years, Granny Yue would still be as beautiful as ever."
" Mei Wuhua?"
A hint of joy flashed across Granny Yue's face, as if she had seen an old acquaintance. She then looked at Hua Youyue with curiosity and asked, "And this is...?"
Mei Wuhua smiled and said, "This is the Three Flowers Holy Maiden, no, she should now be called the Holy Maiden Hua."
A look of surprise flashed across Granny Yue's face, and she hurriedly greeted her.
Empress Su also cast a curious glance at the palace.
A loud laugh rang out, Chen Xiaotian clicked his tongue in amazement, saying, "I never expected that the once brilliant and talented Three Flowers Holy Maiden would actually be reincarnated successfully. It's truly a cause for celebration."
The Three Flowers Holy Maiden glanced at Chen Xiaotian, seemingly oblivious to what she had just heard, and then approached Yang Zhen, saying softly, "You're back!"
