Yang Zhen never expected that the East Sea actually had the legacy of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness.
Actually, that's not entirely accurate. Yang Zhen wasn't quite sure whether this place was actually in the East Sea. He was pushed into a whirlpool by an old man from the Sea Dragon Clan with his cane, and then somehow ended up here.
Yang Zhen only knew that there were many forks in the road on the way here. Whenever there was a fork in the road, a light would shine on Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat, similar to the light on the cane of the old man of the Sea Dragon Clan. Then the light would automatically guide the two to choose one of the forks in the road. It was even more useful than a navigation system.
Another point is that Yang Zhen felt this place didn't resemble a place of inheritance at all, but rather a place of alchemy!
In a not-so-large space, there was an enormous Pill Furnace in the center, with wisps of smoke rising from it. The Pill Furnace was exquisitely beautiful, bronze in color, and exuded an intoxicating fragrance amidst its antique charm. Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat lay on the Pill Furnace for a long time, sniffing, but couldn't figure out what the smell was, and couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
"Is this Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness some kind of old Daoist priest?" the Shameless Cat said with a frustrated expression. "To be so detached from worldly desires is quite an extraordinary person. He should at least leave behind some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, or even some Emperor-level Cultivation Method techniques and martial arts. But all he has is this broken Pill Furnace, and nothing else around him. Is he really that poor?"
Yang Zhen looked around and shook his head, saying, "I don't think it's that simple!"
The Shameless Cat chuckled and said, "Great minds think alike, but this place is completely visible at a glance, how are we supposed to find it?"
Yang Zhen pursed his lips and said, "If you can't find it, use enlightenment!"
"Can't figure it out?" the Shameless Cat pressed for an answer.
Yang Zhen cursed and said, "How could he not understand? If that's really the case, then there are only two reasons: either the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness was truly so detached from worldly desires that he left nothing behind despite claiming to be passing on his legacy."
"What about the second one?" the Shameless Cat asked curiously.
Yang Zhen stared intently at the Pill Furnace in front of the two of them and said, "The second possibility is that what the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness left behind might be related to the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, and has been erased by the power of the Principle over such a long period of time!"
The Shameless Cat stiffened, its eyes widening as it said, "Boy, I think the second possibility is more likely!"
Yang Zhen pursed his lips and walked around, saying as he went, "It doesn't matter which situation it is. No matter which situation it is, we can't get anything. Hmm, if we can't get anything, we can leave something behind!"
The Shameless Cat stared blankly at Yang Zhen, its eyes wide, and said, "Are you stupid? You want to leave something behind but not get anything in return? I'm not going to do that losing deal!"
Yang Zhen chuckled strangely, staring at the Shameless Cat with a playful expression, his eyes gleaming with interest.
The Shameless Cat felt a chill run down its spine under Yang Zhen's gaze. It took two steps back and said warily, "Kid, what are you up to? Are you planning something sneaky again?"
Yang Zhen was furious. He glared at Sage of Saunter and said, "Damn it, don't think of me as bad as you! We men live a miserable life, but we should have lofty ambitions. How can we spend our lives in such a wretched way? Even if we can't make history, we should at least leave some stories for future generations!"
The Shameless Cat looked at Yang Zhen with a strange expression, then, intrigued, asked, "Speak like a human. What do you want us to do? I think what you said makes sense. Since we can't create something that will shake the world, let's leave some stories for future generations. How about we go up and wipe out the Flower Mountain Blessed Land?"
Yang Zhen slapped the Shameless Cat on the head and said, "Can't you think of something more reliable?"
The Shameless Cat, rubbing its head indignantly, asked, "Then tell me, what things are reliable?"
Yang Zhen leaned close to the Shameless Cat's ear and said, "Do you remember when I said I wanted to become the Pirate King?"
The Shameless Cat glared at Yang Zhen and excitedly exclaimed, "You're going to be a pirate? Take me with you! Take me with you! How can I miss out on something this fun!"
Yang Zhen snorted and said, "Of course it's not that simple. In fact, I should thank you for this."
"That's natural..."
"Without you, you Sage of Saunter, this slut wouldn't be in so much trouble."
"What do you mean?" the Shameless Cat roared.
Yang Zhen glanced sideways at the Shameless Cat and said, "Now everyone in the world knows that I've entered the inheritance grounds of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness. If we go out now, I'm afraid we'll see thousands upon thousands of people waiting for us as soon as we open our eyes."
"Holy crap, what do we do now?" The Shameless Cat's eyes widened.
Yang Zhen chuckled, beckoned, and said, "Come closer."
After the Shameless Cat leaned in with a hint of skepticism, Yang Zhen explained his plan. The Shameless Cat's eyes lit up instantly, and it nodded eagerly, saying, "That's great, that's great, let's do it this way!"
The human and the cat exchanged a cheeky glance before going their separate ways.
Yang Zhen came to the wall and, using his hand as a brush and the Golden Lotus Heavenly Fire as ink, drew a Peppa Pig that combined the power of Yang Zhen's Literary Talent Qi Inscriptions and Dao Rhyme.
After thinking about it, he felt that this was too simple, so he used the Golden Lotus Heavenly Fire to hide Peppa Pig again, so that it could only reappear when it was stained with blood.
In this way, the style suddenly becomes quite sophisticated and high-class.
After doing all this, Yang Zhen turned his head curiously to look for the Shameless Cat, wanting to see what the Shameless Cat planned to leave behind. Suddenly, a dizzying sensation came over him, and he felt as if he were upside down, spinning rapidly in circles, rushing towards the enormous bronze Pill Furnace in the center. In the blink of an eye, he was swallowed up.
Yang Zhen was startled. This place was indeed not as simple as it seemed. However, Yang Zhen never expected that what he meant by "not simple" was that there was a Pill Furnace here that could devour people.
Yang Zhen plopped down inside the Pill Furnace. Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly shuddered, a look of horror appearing on his face.
Waves of raging fire surged in from all directions, leaving Yang Zhen nowhere to hide, and he was instantly engulfed in flames.
Damn it, wasn't this supposed to be the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness? Where did this Supreme Old Lord Laozi's Pill Furnace come from?
The terrifying flames burned fiercely, as if they were going to burn Yang Zhen to ashes. Yang Zhen hurriedly patted the flames off his body and howled. As he cried out, he suddenly realized something was wrong. The fire was burning so fiercely, but he couldn't feel the slightest bit of pain, or even the burning sensation.
The next moment, Yang Zhen's eyes widened in shock.
Terrifying waves of fire surged forth, frantically entering his body and indiscriminately drilling into his Dantian, merging into his Nascent Soul. Yang Zhen Yang Zhen's cultivation level, to his astonishment, soared upwards like a rocket.
This is a bit strange!
Yang Zhen blinked, patted several key parts of her body, and after confirming that she didn't feel any pain, she shouted again, "No! Stop the car! I want to get out! No... stop! No... stop!"
In just a dozen breaths, Yang Zhen's cultivation level soared to the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, directly heading towards the Void Refinement Realm.
Seeing that his Nascent Soul was about to burst and he was about to break through to the Void Refinement Realm in a daze, Yang Zhen's expression turned stern and he flew into a rage, kicking the Pill Furnace.
"Stop, stop, stop! This Sage of Saunter is telling you to stop!"
Clang!
With a deafening roar, a violent surge of energy erupted from Yang Zhen's body, like a dragon's roar or an elephant's drumbeat. The Pill Furnace emitted a deafening hum, and the terrifying wave of fire subsided.
Yang Zhen grinned and chuckled, but as he laughed, he became hysterical.
"Damn it, do you know how much I, this Sage of Saunter, have sacrificed to suppress my cultivation level? If I wanted to raise my Sage of Saunter level, I could do it in a minute. Why would I need to use such a stupid method?"
After cursing for a while, Yang Zhen climbed out of the Pill Furnace. Suddenly, he caught sight of Shameless Cat lurking in a corner, its rear end sticking out as it strained. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he shouted, " Shameless Cat, what the hell are you doing?"
