Something's happened!
Something terrible has happened!
After leaving, Yang Zhen's face showed a look of surprise and uncertainty.
From this place, spanning tens of thousands of miles, this Great Emperor is supposed to refine heaven and earth—what on earth is he up to?
Refining heaven and earth is something only Great Emperor can do; it involves refining a region into Chengxu realm and forcibly separating it from the Main Realm.
Doing so would come at a great cost; at best, one's cultivation would stagnate for several years, and if it failed, there might be no place for Great Emperor to remain in this world.
Heaven and Earth Rejection would not tolerate it! Under the order of heaven and earth, if a Great Emperor is not tolerated, what kind of power would be unleashed to destroy Great Emperor?
If this were to happen, it would surely be another Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth!
Let's dig up the grass!
Yang Zhen was completely flustered, her face filled with disbelief.
Something must have happened. Otherwise, why would this Great Emperor suddenly appear?
Yang Zhen is currently in dire straits himself, so he has no time to concern himself with matters of whether or not Great Emperor Great Emperor.
Yang Zhen decided to find a secluded mountain forest to hide in and wait for the Heavenly Punishment to pass before making any further moves.
The Three Flowers Holy Land is not within the circle drawn by the Great Emperor, so it should not be affected. However, if Yang Zhen returns to the Three Flowers Holy Land, the entire Three Flowers Holy Land will likely cease to exist once the Heavenly Punishment erupts.
As for the Emperor Su Palace, Yang Zhen couldn't care less about that anymore. He just hoped that the Emperor Su had already woken up while that Great Emperor was refining the world.
If the young lady lying in the crystal coffin was also an Great Emperor, perhaps the Emperor Su Palace could have survived. If not...
My goodness, it would be good if the Emperor Su Palace moved away!
Before leaving, Yang Zhen glanced at Hua Youyue and the others from afar. Seeing that everyone's expressions were relatively calm, he felt relieved. However, that Shameless Cat, the scoundrel, seemed to be truly hopeless. Yang Zhen glared at it several times, but it didn't notice Yang Zhen's presence. It kept looking around as if searching for him.
At this moment, Yang Zhen could no longer control the surge of his aura at the Final Step. The Heavenly Punishment was about to arrive, and Yang Zhen had no chance to drag that Shameless Cat away. He could only face it alone.
Looking up at the sky, Yang Zhen left a trail of lightning wherever he went, just like the Flash, rushing forward with lightning trails trailing behind him.
The Northern Region, the Far Northern Land!
When Yang Zhen returned, everything had changed. The familiar faces were gone, and he wondered if the Sha Clan was still around.
Given these changes in the world, the Sha Clan probably already have long since retreated from society.
In the freezing cold, Yang Zhen stood alone in the mountains, took a deep breath, and his Divine Sense sense suddenly erupted, covering an area of a thousand miles.
No man's land!
Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he sensed no human presence. He couldn't let any humans get involved this time, otherwise, getting entangled in karma would be a very troublesome matter.
With no one around, Yang Zhen took out the Star Spring Sword, then unleashed the Tianxuan Sword, slicing a mountain flat with a single strike to reveal the Ice Palace. He then inscribed a massive array around it, concealing it within the mist.
Feels great!
Next, we must patiently await the arrival of Heavenly Punishment.
In the southwest, the rumbling celestial phenomena continued; Yang Zhen could feel the commotion caused by the Great Emperor refining the heavens and earth.
However, since it was quite far away, Yang Zhen could sense it but it didn't have much of an impact, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Nearly half a month passed in this way, and Yang Zhen gradually got used to this peaceful life.
Early that morning, Yang Zhen was meditating when he suddenly opened his eyes and let out a soft exclamation.
Deep in the mountains not far away, it seemed as if something was arching and bulging, trying to emerge from the mountains.
Ten days ago, Yang Zhen wouldn't have been able to sense this faint aura.
However, Yang Zhen was now a powerful expert on the Final Step. Both his five senses and cultivation level had improved several times over. How could such a faint aura escape Yang Zhen's Divine Sense?
What is that?
Curiosity piqued, Yang Zhen stood up, rubbed his hands together, took two running steps, and leaped into the deep ravine. With a perfect landing motion, he disappeared into... the rocks.
The feeling of digging up grass was so pleasurable that Yang Zhen almost groaned.
If people on the blue planet were to see this, their eyes would pop out of their sockets in astonishment.
Even now, Yang Zhen still feels like he's in a dream.
The power he wields is enough to destroy almost half of the blue planet.
As Yang Zhen entered the mountain rocks, he moved swiftly through the mountains like a fish, and soon arrived at the arched structure not far away.
After seeing the person clearly, Yang Zhen immediately wanted to curse.
one person!
There's someone here!
And it was an old man!
The old man was struggling to crawl forward through the rocks, his hands constantly digging at the rocks in front of him.
Anyone who saw this would probably be terrified.
The old man was unkempt; his hair and beard reached his ankles, and his clothes were tattered and made of an unrecognizable material.
Even his face was covered in a layer of dust and grime. If it weren't for his pair of bright, starry eyes, Yang Zhen would have mistaken him for a mud monkey.
The old man moved very slowly, as slowly as a sloth, slowly grabbing and then slowly arching.
Judging by the old man's pace, Yang Zhen figured that by the time he crawled out, Yang Zhen's son would already be old enough to run errands.
But Yang Zhen didn't feel any hindrance. He imitated the old man's movements, swam quickly to his side, waved, and said, "Hey, fellow villager, swimming?"
When the old man saw Yang Zhen, he shuddered in fright. He seemed to try to stand up, but his head hit the rocks with a dull thud.
Seeing the old man's incredulous look, Yang Zhen grinned and said hastily, "Don't worry, I'm a good person. How did you get trapped here? Do you want this ' Sage of Saunter' to take you out?"
The old man's aura was very weak, and Yang Zhen couldn't tell what level of cultivation he possessed. However, someone who could be involved in bullfighting here couldn't be an ordinary person.
Yang Zhen dared not get too close to the old man, putting on an innocent smile while remaining secretly wary.
After his initial surprise, the old man gave Yang Zhen a strange look, shook his head, and didn't answer Yang Zhen's question. Then he continued to arch upwards, one arch after another.
The movement was so slow that Yang Zhen felt as if a thousand kittens were scratching at her.
Seeing the old man casually walk over and sit down quietly to meditate, seemingly ignoring Yang Zhen completely, Yang Zhen was instantly furious.
"Hey old man, I, this ' Sage of Saunter,' was trying to help you out of kindness, and you don't even say thank you? Are you treating Sage of Saunter like I don't exist?"
Only then did the old man notice Yang Zhen. He grinned, revealing his white teeth, and said, "Not now, but in a while."
"Damn it, you old man, there's something behind your words! Today, this ' Sage of Saunter ' is going to...!"
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Zhen's expression changed completely.
He was... unable to move!
This truly shocked Yang Zhen, who immediately cursed at the old man, "Old man, you think you 'Niu Bi? This Sage of Saunter only wanted to help you. If you don't need it, just say so. There's no need to imprison this Sage of Saunter here. What's your cultivation level? Great Emperor?"
The old man laughed loudly, making Yang Zhen's eardrums ache. He turned to look at Yang Zhen and said, "Young man, it's not that I'm imprisoning you, it's just that you're only allowed to enter, not leave!"
Yang Zhen was taken aback, but tried to climb down, and sure enough, he regained his composure.
But when Yang Zhen to climb up, that feeling of confinement returned.
"Grass!"
Yang Zhen's expression changed completely.
No wonder this strange old man is so slow.
