What does it feel like to be unable to jump?
It was like the feeling of being drawn in by some mysterious force from underground when I first met the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness.
Even in the ruins of today, there are places where one cannot fly, but Yang Zhen, relying on the strength of his physical body, is still able to leap across them.
Now look what's happened; they can't even jump anymore. Are they supposed to fight that sea of Corpse Scutigera?
That would be exhausting!
Clearly, Great Emperor Aotian and Great Emperor Golden Eagle had also noticed the anomaly here. With calm expressions, they exchanged a glance and prepared for a great battle.
Yang Zhen suddenly grabbed the two of them, taking Han Yan'er and the Shameless Cat with him as they sank into the ground.
Damn it, if I can't go to heaven, can't this Sage of Saunter at least go to the earth?
boom--!
The four people and the cat vanished from the spot. The Great Emperor Golden Eagle, startled, reacted with astonishment, staring at Yang Zhen in disbelief for a long moment before finally asking, "You brat, is there anything you can't do?"
Such a refined Earth Treasury Technique surprised even the Great Emperor Aotian, who looked at Yang Zhen with suspicion and uncertainty.
Yang Zhen pursed his lips and said, "Now is not the time to worry about these details. Something must have changed here; maybe someone has come in."
"Someone has come in?"
The Great Emperor Golden Eagle's face darkened as he stared at Yang Zhen and asked, "How did you know?"
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, pointed to his nose, and said, "Would you believe me if I said I could smell it?"
Even before entering, Yang Zhen sensed an incongruous aura mixed in with the surrounding world. This aura should not belong to this place and should be rejected by the Principle of this place.
That feeling was exactly the same as the sense of rejection Yang Zhen felt when she came in last time.
The only mystery is why, in just a few short days, others have entered again, who these people are, what they did, and why the Gods and Devils Ruins have undergone such a dramatic transformation.
The rustling sound above his head gradually disappeared, and Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat fortunate.
To show off, something as sophisticated as showing off, you need to have a certain foundation; otherwise, you're likely to end up making a fool of yourself.
The Corpse Scutigera can burrow underground, but it's not as fast as Yang Zhen, which is why it didn't catch up.
Relying on his memory, Yang Zhen headed towards the place where he had discovered the phantoms of Gods and Devils. Before long, he arrived at the altars that Yang Zhen and Qin Luoyi had shattered.
At this moment, in the ruins of the altar, wisps of ghostly objects floated in mid-air, emitting a faint glow.
After Yang Zhen and his men emerged from underground, their expressions changed drastically upon seeing the ghosts.
"Wrong!"
The Shameless Cat was startled and glared at Yang Zhen, asking, "What's wrong? Why are you so jumpy? Are you trying to scare me to death?"
Yang Zhen had no time to waste words with the Shameless Cat. He stared at the ghosts in mid-air and said, "Why are these people still here?"
Still here?
Great Emperor Golden Eagle and Great Emperor Aotian were taken aback and looked at Yang Zhen in surprise.
These surviving ghosts are actually a type of spirit, but they exist without any consciousness, and it's perfectly normal for them to wander between heaven and earth.
Great Emperor Aotian did not witness Yang Zhen and Qin Luoyi shattering the altar, so he was unaware of the strangeness of the event.
Yang Zhen recounted what had happened, and the two fell silent.
"So, those trapped souls you and Empress of Emperor Su Palace released were actually in an illusion, and that's the true state of the altar?"
The Great Emperor Golden Eagle asked with a puzzled look.
Yang Zhen nodded. He was also worried about this situation, and he was even a little confused about whether Qin Luoyi was actually Qin Luoyi.
Why did Qin Luoyi suddenly possess the Saint Physique? What exactly happened? Yang Zhen was completely confused, and Qin Luoyi herself was even more clueless.
If Qin Luoyi is fake... it can't be fake, damn it, they've already slept together, how could she be fake?
Yang Zhen shook his head, temporarily setting aside his doubts, and asked, "Seniors, these wandering souls have been trapped here for countless millennia. They should have been swept away by the wind by now. Do you have any way to help them, or rather... to help them find peace?"
Salvation?
Upon hearing this term, the Great Emperor Golden Eagle's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Boy, I don't know where you heard of this Divine Ability. To deliver a soul from suffering is not an easy task, and delivering a soul from suffering is a great act of merit. The so-called 'immeasurable merit leads to instant Buddhahood' is a legendary ability of Buddhist cultivators, which has been lost for countless millennia."
Buddhist practice!
Yang Zhen narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Great Emperor Golden Eagle, his heart already churning with turmoil.
Yang Zhen had seen Zen meditation and heard Buddhist verses, but no one had ever systematically referred to these practitioners collectively as Buddhist practitioners!
Could there truly be a lineage of Buddhism in the Great Wilderness World?
Just as Yang Zhen was experiencing a mix of emotions, the Great Emperor Aotian suddenly spoke up, " Yang Zhen, if you truly wish to help these departed souls find peace, there is a way, but..."
What method?
Yang Zhen's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.
The Shameless Cat beside him shook its head and said, "Impossible. Kid Yang doesn't even know how to use the Power of Faith within him, let alone use it to deliver these souls from suffering."
Hearing the Shameless Cat's words, Yang Zhen exclaimed in surprise and asked, "Can the Power of Faith deliver the souls of the dead?"
As for the Power of Faith, Shameless Cat Yang Zhen truly didn't understand what kind of power it was and what it could be used for.
Even the Shameless Cat didn't know that Yang Zhen wasn't completely unable to use the Power of Faith. It was as if the Shameless Cat had a feeling that it was the supreme ruler here. Yang Zhen was able to control that Power of Faith when he entered the Gods and Devils Ruins.
Great Emperor Golden Eagle looked puzzled. After a moment of contemplation, he explained, "In fact, the inheritance of the Southern Frontier Demon God Descendants is a kind of inheritance similar to the Power of Faith. Their power all comes from their beliefs and their reverence for Gods and Devils, which gives them power that is almost like the Principle. Their methods are extremely mysterious and powerful. My master once said that if the inheritance of the Demon God Descendants can truly gain the Demon God's approval, then their power will be beyond our ability to contend with."
The inheritance of the Demon God Descendants is actually the Power of Faith?
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen gasped, becoming even more interested.
This is said as if it were the legacy of Western power on a blue planet.
If one wants to use the Power of Faith, is it simply a matter of finding those so-called inheritors of Gods and Devils lineages?
Yang Zhen had some hope that the people who came in this time were the Descendants of Gods and Devils from the Southern Frontier, since ordinary people wouldn't go in here to die.
It's true that there are fortuitous opportunity inheritance in the Devil God Ruins, but you also need to be alive to take them. It's a place where you can easily lose your life if you're not careful, so many cultivators still have some reservations.
Just as Yang Zhen was pondering whether he should take the initiative to search for the Descendants of Gods and Devils, the Great Emperor Golden Eagle and the Great Emperor Aotian exchanged glances.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath. He could sense that someone was watching them, and it was a powerful one at that.
As for just how strong this expert is, we'll only know after we fight him!
The next moment, Yang Zhen didn't even want to fight anymore.
Damn it, that feeling of coveting grew stronger and stronger. What's worse, the aura split into two, and then a series of auras surged in.
Where did all these powerful individuals come from?
Does having more people mean you can bully someone who has fewer?
