Upon hearing Hua Youyue's words, Ye Zhiming and Bai Xuan immediately brought up the three great philosophical questions of life.
who I am?
Where am I?
What am I supposed to do?
Gu Langyun laughed loudly, pointing at Hua Youyue and saying, " Hua Youyue, Hua Youyue, I never thought that you, who were once so pure and ethereal, would fall to such a state. You actually believe the words of a fool?"
The Shameless Cat looked at Gu Langyun with disdain, put its paw to its mouth, and shushed him, saying, "Can you shut up? You're stealing the show, aren't you?"
Yang Zhen stared in disbelief at the Shameless Cat and said, "Didn't I teach you the word 'stealing the show'?"
The Shameless Cat, looking smug, said, "See? I came up with it myself!"
"Bullshit, do you even know what a play is?"
"Yeah, what's a play?" the Shameless Cat asked curiously. "You didn't explain it when you were talking in your sleep."
Yang Zhen was stunned and decided not to talk to the Shameless Cat for a long time. It even imitated other people's sleep talking. This cat was hopeless.
After giving the Shameless Cat a disdainful look, Yang Zhen said to Hua Youyue, "Just eating a single leaf can heal you?"
"It still needs the nourishment of the Spirit Source Dew and the repair of the Companion Heavenly Fire!"
Yang Zhen suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Hua Youyue, saying, "Come on, little girl, open your mouth, I'll give you something delicious!"
Why the root?
Yang Zhen said with a serious expression, "I like this word!"
Hua Youyue's breathing gradually became heavy. Staring at Yang Zhen, she said, word by word, "You... really have the leaves of the Ageless Tree?"
Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, "Don't be so serious. It's just the leaves of the Ageless Tree. If you want them, this Sage of Saunter will dig up the roots for you to see."
"No, no!" Hua Youyue hurriedly shook her head, her jade-like face slightly flushed, and slowly opened her mouth!
Yang Zhen didn't dare to be careless. This concerned his Spirit Root, and everything had to be taken seriously. After plucking a leaf from his mind, Yang Zhen said in a deep voice, "If one leaf isn't enough, you must tell me. The two of you, help me get the Spirit Source Dew!"
Ye Zhiming and Bai Xuan's expressions also became serious, and they appeared very excited, staring intently at Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue.
Seeing Hua Youyue slightly open her mouth, Yang Zhen flicked his finger, and an almost transparent leaf entered Hua Youyue's mouth, instantly bursting forth with a terrifying vitality.
"Quick, kid, now!" The Shameless Cat yelled, and Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming hurriedly handed the Spirit Source Dew to Hua Youyue.
"The Tree of Ageless Tree!" Gu Langyun suddenly cried out, wielding his long sword and charging madly towards Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue. A violent wave of energy suddenly erupted from his body, filled with killing intent, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped everyone's heads.
Everyone gasped in surprise, never expecting Gu Langyun to seize the leaves of the Ageless Tree at this crucial moment.
Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming's expressions changed drastically, and they roared at Gu Langyun, " Gu Langyun, how dare you!"
Gu Langyun laughed loudly, "Why wouldn't I dare? Five years ago, I was already prepared to be utterly disgraced!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Gu Langyun arrived in front of Yang Zhen and the others with his sword. The long sword in his hand hummed like a dragon and suddenly burst out with a destructive wave of energy, slashing towards them.
"Die, all of you!"
Gu Langyun roared, his momentum soaring through the air, but a moment later, his expression suddenly changed drastically. He let out a strange cry and hurriedly tried to retreat.
Charging forward is easy, but retreating is not so simple.
Yang Zhen's eyes widened, sparkling brightly, and he reached out to press down on Gu Langyun: "Damn, the way you charged at me was so cool, I'd feel a little embarrassed if I didn't give you a Sage of Saunter!"
Desolate Heaven Technique!
Buzz!
A surge of violent True Essence surged from all directions, like a storm, and converged on Yang Zhen's right hand, forming a terrifying vortex of True Essence.
On Yang Zhen's right hand, a golden flame, empowered by the raging True Essence, suddenly became overwhelming. A devastating wave of fire condensed into a fireball radiating boundless power, resembling a sun, making it impossible to look directly at.
"Bye-Bye!"
Yang Zhen's voice rang out amidst everyone's horrified gazes. With a deafening roar, a violent shockwave surged outwards in all directions, and a wave of energy, like the end of the world, exploded between Yang Zhen's right hand and Gu Langyun's body.
The next moment, Gu Langyun's scream abruptly stopped, and he plummeted backward, disappearing without a trace in a flash. Everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to see where Gu Langyun had flown to.
Snap!
A soft thud and the clang of metal clashing rang out. Gu Langyun's arm fell to the ground, the longsword he was holding flew out of his hand, and his hand was still clenching and unclenching...
this...
Everyone stared in disbelief at what was happening before them, completely petrified.
Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.
Yang Zhen... actually sent Gu Langyun flying with a single slap?
That's way too much!
Ye Zhiming had a deep understanding of just how powerful Gu Langyun was after entering the Spirit Wandering State; his wounds were still bleeding.
But how could such a powerful person be slapped away by Yang Zhen, losing an arm in the process?
Gu Langyun hasn't returned for so long, so he's either dead, seriously injured, or simply too afraid to come back.
He's even giving up the Saint-level longsword and his arm?
Most importantly, there was a storage ring on the finger of that arm.
Yang Zhen did it on purpose! This guy definitely did it on purpose!
While Gu Langyun may have been somewhat overconfident, the fact that Yang Zhen was able to salvage one of Gu Langyun's arms under such circumstances speaks volumes about Yang Zhen's strength.
He... he's only at the Nascent Soul Realm stage. Although he's only one step away from the Void Refinement Realm, that's still a whole Void Refinement Realm away from the Spirit Wandering Realm.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Yang Zhen acted as if nothing had happened, and Hua Youyue was completely unaffected. Suddenly, she burst forth with boundless vitality, her body enveloped in a mysterious green light.
In mid-air, a terrifying dark cloud had somehow gathered, with a constant rumbling sound, and the surging, turbulent thunder dragons within were almost visible to the naked eye.
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone gasped in horror.
Ye Zhiming stared wide-eyed at Hua Youyue in disbelief, exclaiming, "Defying fate? Hua Youyue, are you insane?"
"What? Defying fate?" Bai Xuan was stunned, a look of utter shock appearing on his face as he looked at Hua Youyue and said, "Are you out of your mind?"
"What does 'defying fate' mean?" Yang Zhen asked the two of them with a strange look.
In this day and age, are there really people who want to defy fate?
Don't the cultivators here all follow the will of Heaven? Why would they defy Heaven and try to change their fate?
Ye Zhiming took a deep breath and said, " Hua Youyue's Spirit Root was damaged. If too much time has passed, even if it is repaired, it may not be able to return to its original level, and her talent will be greatly diminished. Of course, this is only one possibility, but I never expected... that she would actually defy fate and use the leaves of the Ageless Tree and the Spirit Source Dew to completely shatter her Spirit Root and then re-refine it. This... this is almost like fighting for her life. If she is not careful, she will attract Heavenly Tribulation that will take her life as well!"
"What?" Yang Zhen was startled, looking at the dark clouds and thunder in mid-air with suspicion.
This little girl is truly astonishingly stubborn. With her Nascent Soul Realm stage cultivation, how dare she do something so defying fate?
Yang Zhen seemed to have forgotten that he himself had once thought of poking a hole in the sky with his middle finger.
Just then, Hua Youyue suddenly groaned, her face turning pale!
Everyone gasped in shock.
