"Damn it!" The Shameless Cat suddenly slammed his cup down on the table, pointed at the mountaintop, and said, "It was a beautiful, sunny night. I was sleeping when suddenly I couldn't move. I watched helplessly as this place underwent a complete transformation. Later, I got sleepier and sleepier, and when I woke up again, this place had been refined into a Mirror World, and I couldn't get out."
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they stared at the Shameless Cat in horror. If Shameless Cat said was true, how many years had it lived here?
This is the Mirror World from the distant past, probably existing for tens of thousands of years. In other words, this Shameless Cat has lived for tens of thousands of years?
Everyone had a surreal feeling, staring incredulously at the Shameless Cat lying crookedly on the ground, their expressions complex.
Yang Zhen glanced at the Shameless Cat Shameless Cat and said, "I don't believe you for a second. You never tell the truth. A sunny evening? Why don't you say a clear, rainy day? Your IQ is ridiculous. This is the first and last time we've drunk together. Don't say you know me after we leave!"
Everyone: "..."
Sure enough, you can't trust what that Shameless Cat says; only a fool would believe it.
The Shameless Cat wouldn't have it, glaring at him and saying, "Kid, I knew you wouldn't believe me. Do you even know who created this Mirror World?"
" The Great Sage Chenxue?"
"It's him?" The Shameless Cat was stunned, muttering to itself, "It's actually that ruthless person! No wonder, no wonder I haven't been able to reach the summit all these years, it was him!"
Yang Zhen flew into a rage and slapped the Shameless Cat on the head. "Damn it, you're Laozi again?"
The Shameless Cat chuckled slyly and said, "Kid, since you know this is the Mirror World of the Great Sage Chenxue, you must have heard of the Twelve Blood Refinements Profound Art, right?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Of course I've heard of it."
The Shameless Cat's eyes darted around, and it whispered in Yang Zhen's ear, "The Twelve Blood Refinements Profound Art are on there!"
"Stop!" Yang Zhen pushed the Shameless Cat away and said, "Trying to trick me? You're still too green. Even up there, so many people can't get up, why should I be able to? Besides, if I keep going up, those three old geezers down below will rush up. They don't even need to catch me; just breaking the balance here will send me flying. I'll be dead for sure."
The Shameless Cat let out a soft "Eh?" and said, "Aren't you exceptionally talented?"
"So what if it is?"
"Boast!"
"You don't need to provoke me, I'm not going!"
The Shameless Cat's eyes darted around, and it said, "Fine, if you don't want to go, then you don't want to go. It's a pity, though. The Twelve Blood Refinements Profound Art is extremely powerful and has attracted the covetous eyes of countless people. Maybe after you learn it, you can kill these three old men. No, once you learn the Twelve Blood Refinements Profound Art, what are these three old men? Even three more wouldn't be a match for you."
Yang Zhen stared at the Shameless Cat with a suspicious expression. "Is it really that powerful?"
The Shameless Cat felt a chill run down its spine under Yang Zhen's gaze and said awkwardly, "Little... boy, what kind of look is that? I'm just trying to help you."
"Speak, what are you plotting?"
"Aaaah!" The Shameless Cat roared in anger, jumping up and pointing at Yang Zhen, saying, "You heartless wretch! I ate a meal from you, and I couldn't bear to see you just sitting here waiting to die. You don't appreciate it, fine, but you think so badly of me?"
Yang Zhen curled his lip. "You make it sound so easy. I have a feeling there are thousands of steps here. I'd be lucky if I could get halfway up. Any higher and I'd probably be blasted off."
"Here you go!" The Shameless Cat suddenly tossed something over, gritting its teeth as it said, "There are three Dao Mark here. I'm giving you two. Although you might not be able to climb them, at least you can reach eight hundred. Cultivate there for a year or two, and maybe you'll be able to swagger down."
"Oh my!" Yang Zhen stared wide-eyed at the Shameless Cat with suspicion. The more he looked, the more suspicious he seemed. He sneered and said, "If you give it to me, what will you do? If you go down now, they'll definitely beat you up."
"Pah!" The Shameless Cat glared back, its expression disdainful, and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of these three Void Refinement Realm? Do you want them back? If not, give them back to me."
Yang Zhen, suspicious, held the stone containing a Dao Mark in his hand and looked at the Shameless Cat with suspicion, saying, "You wait for me here. I'll go up and learn the Twelve Blood Refinements Profound Art and then come down. I learn things very quickly."
At first, Yang Zhen didn't believe the Shameless Cat. This guy was too unreliable. Ten out of ten things he said were lies. He didn't even bother to write a draft when he lied. He was incredibly despicable.
But just now, Yang Zhen inadvertently noticed that three experts at the Void Refinement Realm were staring at the Dao Mark Stone in his hand, their eyes reddening. He suddenly felt that what the Shameless Cat said might be true.
Moreover, the pressure on his body immediately eased when the stone touched him, which also shows that the stone was effective.
But Shameless Cat really be so kind?
Under the astonished and uncertain gazes of thousands of cultivators, Yang Zhen carefully walked upwards step by step. Sure enough, the pressure was much lighter. Even so, Yang Zhen did not dare to be careless and walked very slowly, one step at a time.
"Hey kid, are you a snail? Slowpoke." The Shameless Cat trembled all over, seemingly in great discomfort, even tucking its tail between its legs.
Yang Zhen turned around and glared at him. "Mind your own business! If you dare to try anything funny, I'll pluck all your feathers out!"
"Hey! Watch out!" The Shameless Cat suddenly let out a shriek, startling Yang Zhen.
Elder Qu and the other two were also startled and immediately stood up, looking at Yang Zhen and the two Shameless Cat with a cold smile on their faces.
"What are you yelling about?" Yang Zhen turned her head and glared at the Shameless Cat.
The Shameless Cat chuckled and waved its hand, saying, "You go ahead, I'm just teasing these three Void Refinement Realm cultivators."
Yang Zhen was speechless for a moment, then continued walking upwards. For some reason, the higher he went, the lighter the pressure became.
"Ouch, kid, you can't take it anymore, you're about to fall!"
"Hey, you three better not leave now. If Yang Zhen runs away, you'll be furious."
"Watch out, kid, if you can't hold on, don't keep going."
The Shameless Cat's howling grew louder and louder. The three Void Refinement Realm experts were staring intently at Yang Zhen, no longer paying attention to the Shameless Cat. They were simply terrified by the Shameless Cat's incessant chatter.
As Yang Zhen climbed more than seven hundred steps, he stumbled and almost fell off. The necks of the three Void Refinement Realm experts stretched out in disbelief.
Hua Youyue frowned, saying with some worry, "What is Yang Zhen doing? Why doesn't he just sit down and cultivate properly? Why does he have to climb upwards? What if he can't withstand the restrictions and falls? He'll surely die!"
The Elder Yao shook his head and smiled wryly, saying, "I also think Yang Zhen's actions were inappropriate."
The Shameless Cat's face changed, and it trembled uncontrollably as it looked at Yang Zhen, muttering repeatedly, "Almost there, almost there."
Yang Zhen couldn't hear the Shameless Cat's mutterings; he just felt he was almost up, and stepped onto the 800th step.
boom!
A surge of overwhelming Blood Qi swept out from the mountaintop, instantly covering the entire foothills.
The violent shockwave surged in all directions, continuing all the way to the foot of the mountain without any sign of stopping. Everyone, including the Void Refinement Realm experts, changed their expressions.
Amidst the overwhelming crimson shockwave, the Shameless Cat suddenly let out a strange cry, "Hey kid, how did you fall down? Be careful, don't let those three Void Refinement Realm catch you!"
Elder Qu and the others were shocked, staring intently at the blood-red aura, fearing that Yang Zhen might escape.
Yang Zhen, standing on the eight hundred steps, was completely bewildered. He turned around and instantly flew into a rage. "You Shameless Cat, you dare run away alone! Don't let Laozi see you again!"
Aww!
The Shameless Cat had already unleashed a terrifying speed, its two legs flying as it darted past the three stunned Void Refinement Realm experts.
"Kid, good luck to you, hehe. I have some things to attend to, so I'll be going now."
Sect Master Wang snorted coldly, stood up, and charged towards the Shameless Cat: "Trying to leave!"
"Whoa!" The Shameless Cat's expression changed, and it ran even faster. "Damn it, that kid's about to fall! Why aren't you waiting for him? Why are you chasing after me?"
Yang Zhen chuckled to himself, muttering, "You Shameless Cat Shameless Cat, you'd better pray for yourself!"
As he spoke, Yang Zhen took out another Dao Mark Stone from his storage ring, making it exactly three!
