Damn, is there really such a good thing?
Yang Zhen stared at the Yaoguang Holy Lord with a suspicious look on his face, somewhat disbelieving that such a good thing would happen to him.
If he can endure the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn within the Jade Radiance Lock, he can obtain the Yaoguang Holy Land and become its Yaoguang Holy Lord?
This Holy Lord position is far too easy for him.
But Yang Zhen wasn't the kind of person who would be greedy for small gains.
Seeing the serious expression on the face of the Yaoguang Holy Lord, Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, "Speak, old man, what are you up to now?"
The Yaoguang Holy Lord looked at Yang Zhen with a smile, just like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became, which made Yang Zhen's skin crawl.
"What kind of look is that? Damn it, this Sage of Saunter isn't easy to eat, and like I said, I'm not interested in men, especially old men."
The Yaoguang Holy Lord glared at Yang Zhen and said, "You talk as if I would be interested in a mere brat like you. This is a bet. Do you even know what a bet is? It's a bet that you can't possibly finish. If I knew you could persevere, would I still be a fool to bet with you?"
Yang Zhen thought about it and realized that it made sense.
If the Yaoguang Holy Lord knew he could persevere, he certainly wouldn't have said such a thing so easily.
A single gamble, and they lost their sacred site. How will they face their ancestors a hundred years from now?
Yang Zhen looked Yaoguang Holy Lord up and down, left and right, even from front and back, and said, "Old man, is there really no trap?"
There are absolutely no hidden traps!
The Yaoguang Holy Lord nodded and said.
"Holy Lord, you mustn't!"
The group of elders behind him looked bewildered. They had thought their Holy Lord had some clever idea to trick Yang Zhen, but it seemed he was really going to gamble with Yang Zhen on this!
Everyone was extremely anxious; the whole group of people were extremely anxious.
Only the younger disciples looked bewildered, exchanging bewildered glances, completely unaware of Yaoguang Holy Lord was up to.
Yang Zhen pondered for a moment, then looked at the Yaoguang Holy Lord and asked, "What if I lose?"
The Yaoguang Holy Lord laughed heartily and said, "Isn't it normal to lose?"
After saying this, the Yaoguang Holy Lord revealed a meaningful smile and said, "Boy, you're destined to lose, but I won't make things difficult for you. If you lose, you'll preach in the Yaoguang Holy Land for ten days. How about that?"
Upon hearing the words of the Yaoguang Holy Lord, everyone suddenly realized what was going on. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, many of them would have jumped up in excitement.
That's it.
How could the Yaoguang Holy Lord so easily give the Yaoguang Holy Land to Yang Zhen? It turns out that it was so that Yang Zhen could preach Yaoguang Holy Land for ten days. Yang Zhen preaching—so many people would love to hear him preach but don't have the chance.
Everyone knows that Yang Zhen's Dao is his own Dao, not anyone else's Dao, not even the Heavenly Dao. This Dao, which he comprehended himself, could perhaps lead to an epiphany if he were to preach it for ten days, allowing someone to open up their own Dao.
Even without this talent, and unable to forge their own path, Yang Zhen's understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth allows him to draw inferences from similar cases and lead many people into a state of enlightenment.
This is a once-in-a-millennium event, and a great fortune for the many disciples of the Yaoguang Holy Land.
Countless eyes were fixed on Yang Zhen, and only then did Yang Zhen realize that he had been tricked.
That old geezer, the Yaoguang Holy Lord, had been plotting against him all along.
Moreover, it seems that the Yaoguang Holy Lord is quite certain that Yang Zhen cannot last for the duration of two incense sticks burning inside the Jade Radiance Lock. Could there be some other secret within the Jade Radiance Lock?
Yang Zhen looked at the Yaoguang Holy Lord with a skeptical expression.
Damn it, old foxes are always wiser; this old geezer was waiting for him here all along.
But is the way of this Sage of Saunter really so pleasant to hear?
Yang Zhen's face showed a playful expression, and he said, "As long as it's preaching, it'll be fine?"
The Yaoguang Holy Lord, with a faint smile on his face, nodded and said, "As long as it's a sermon, it's fine!"
Yang Zhen clapped his hands and said, "Deal!"
The Yaoguang Holy Lord chuckled and said, "It's a deal then."
After saying this, the Yaoguang Holy Lord suddenly smiled and said to Yang Zhen, "It's getting late today. I still need to make some preparations. You should also rest for the night. Tomorrow morning, we will open the Jade Radiance Lock, how about that?"
Yang Zhen pursed his lips and said, "I'm always ready, as long as you're prepared!"
That evening, Yang Zhen, Empress of Emperor Su Palace, and the Shameless Cat were arranged to stay in a separate courtyard.
The Shameless Cat looked puzzled and asked, "Kid, is there anything special about this Jade Radiance Lock?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "It's definitely not as simple as it seems. Could it be that this ' Sage of Saunter' is truly unable to unlock the Heavenly Secret Lock?"
The Shameless Cat sneered, "Judging from that old bastard's appearance, your problem isn't that you can't open it, but that you really can't last for two incense sticks' time. Kid, you're always tricking others, and now you've been tricked by an old man. How does that feel?"
Yang Zhen gave a strange smile, glanced at the Empress of Emperor Su Palace beside him who was barely suppressing a laugh, and then turned to the Shameless Cat and said, "Damn it, when has this Sage of Saunter ever done anything without being sure? If this Sage of Saunter Sage of Saunter that I have the method for forging the Jade Radiance Lock, how would you feel?"
"What?"
The Shameless Cat jumped three feet high, its face full of disbelief, staring at Yang Zhen and asking, "When did you get the method for refining the Jade Radiance Lock?"
Empress of Emperor Su Palace was also taken aback, looking at Yang Zhen in disbelief.
Yang Zhen shook his head, chuckled, and said, "To be precise, it's not that I have the method for forging the Jade Radiance Lock, but rather that I have the method for forging the Jade Radiance Lock here."
"What's the difference?" Empress of Emperor Su Palace rolled her eyes at Yang Zhen.
"Of course there's a difference." The Shameless Cat squeaked, staring at Yang Zhen and said, "Kid, are you saying you've mastered the Savage Wilderness Artifact Refining Technique?"
" Savage Wilderness Artifact Refining Technique?" Empress of Emperor Su Palace was shocked and looked at Yang Zhen in surprise.
Yang Zhen nodded and asked curiously, "Is this technique called the Savage Wilderness Artifact Refining Technique?"
The Shameless Cat said in a deep voice, "Damn it, I was right. The Jade Radiance Lock was made using a long-lost Savage Wilderness Artifact Refining Technique. Only Emperor Realm expert can forcibly open it unless they know the method. Where did you get this Savage Wilderness Artifact Refining Technique? I don't have it here."
Yang Zhen exclaimed "Oh my!" his eyes shining, and muttered to himself, "That Sage of Saunter really got something good. I've always felt that this Savage Wilderness Artifact Refining Technique is extraordinary, but I didn't expect even a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you wouldn't have it."
Where did you get this?
"In the Heavenly Book: Life Assault Chapter and on the Heavenly Book: Profound Principles Chapter, there is a part of the content that is disordered. When these two parts are combined, they form this kind of Savage Wilderness Artifact Refining Technique!"
Yang Zhen winked at the Shameless Cat and said, "So, this Sage of Saunter is determined to take the Yaoguang Holy Land?"
The Shameless Cat jumped up excitedly, cackling wickedly, and said, "Boy, I'm going to be an elder, a supreme elder!"
"Roll!"
Empress of Emperor Su Palace's face was full of strange expressions. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, Yang Zhen's status and position... had become comparable to hers.
In the Yaoguang Holy Land, a group of elders, their faces filled with worry, asked, "Holy Lord, if Yang Zhen can truly do it, you really...?"
"Of course it's true!"
A strange smile appeared on the face of the Yaoguang Holy Lord, causing the group of elders around him to exchange bewildered glances. They all thought their Holy Lord had lost his mind, or perhaps... gone mad?
