"Oh shit!"
Yang Zhen looked at the group with a bewildered expression and said fiercely, "Put away your surprised expressions for now. Who's going to answer a few questions for me?"
The gentleman gave Hua Youyue a meaningful look, took a deep breath, and although he seemed hesitant to speak, clearly having many questions to ask, he nodded and said to Yang Zhen, "Speak, boy, what are your questions?"
Yang Zhen stared at the man and said, "What's the deal with the Spirit Road? Why were you so surprised after seeing the little girl defy fate? And what is the Heavenly Fragrance Sacred Root...?"
At this point, Yang Zhen pulled over the bewildered Ye Zhiming and asked, word by word, "What happened on the Spirit Road back then? Who was so arrogant as to dare to injure the young girl's Spirit Root?"
After asking a series of questions, Yang Zhen took a deep breath, leaned back, and said, "I've finished asking my questions. Now you can ask yours, and if you have any more questions, please do so!"
Damn it, this world is getting more and more complicated. Yang Zhen suddenly felt like he was a frog in a well.
Living authentically is an extremely difficult thing in this life. In his previous life, Yang Zhen was completely overwhelmed by the various rules on the Blue Planet. Although he was doing very well, the constraints and limitations made him suffer greatly and feel extremely exhausted.
Now that he has arrived in the Youzhou Continent, Yang Zhen vowed to live as he pleases, to do whatever he wants, and to dare to kick the butts of anyone he dislikes, even a Saint Great Emperor.
Yang Zhen has always done a good job, acknowledging other people's suffering as their own. To blame someone for being despicable when you yourself are incompetent—is there no justice in this world?
Those high and mighty figures, aren't they all utterly despicable?
Compared to those people, Yang Zhen seemed like a pushover.
But just when Yang Zhen thought he was having a great time, he suddenly heard something about the Spirit Road, as if one's life was incomplete without having been to the Spirit Road.
What kind of twisted logic is this?
Hua Youyue was a prodigy. Even with her injured Spirit Root, she startled Yang Zhen. With such powerful talent, she was seriously injured on the Spirit Road and defeated by an opponent several times, ultimately failing to reach that so-called Spirit Peak.
Just how powerful was that opponent, and how strong was their Spirit Root?
Hua Youyue, Bai Xuan, Ye Zhiming, and that girl in purple who was also called Water Moon Spirit Maiden —these all seem to have been once spirited young geniuses, leaving behind legendary tales on the Spirit Road.
Thinking about it this way, Yang Zhen suddenly had an urgent idea!
Go to the Spirit Road!
Go to Spirit Road and find that brat who once drove Hua Youyue to desperation, and let him know what it means to be utterly helpless.
At this moment, the gentleman smiled and said, "Let me explain what a Spirit Road is!"
"Beyond the East Sea, atop a towering mountain, lies a mysterious place— the Spirit Road."
With the teacher's explanation, Yang Zhen suddenly understood and realized what the Spirit Road was all about.
The so-called Spirit Road is actually a Great Mount Sumeru. It is located on a peak outside the East Sea. Every so often, the mountain opens up, and at that time, celestial music fills the air, celestial phenomena occur frequently, and countless talented disciples from various sects of the Youzhou Continent gather together to fight and compete for the Spirit Road Spirit Peak.
The man said with a sigh, " Great Mount Sumeru has been passed down for countless years. It is said that a sect with a ten-thousand-year-old lineage once went here, but they still found no clues, let alone know where Great Mount Sumeru came from."
"A ten-thousand-year-old inheritance?" Yang Zhen was startled and asked with wide eyes, "Wait, if sects have ten-thousand-year-old inheritances, do they know what exactly happened ten thousand years ago?"
The man was taken aback and asked in surprise, "You know about this too?"
Yang Zhen rolled her eyes. "This isn't a secret anymore, is it? What exactly happened?"
"I don't know!" The man's curt answer made Yang Zhen to curse.
"Didn't they say there are sects with a history of ten thousand years?" Yang Zhen asked, his eyes wide.
The man nodded solemnly and said, "This sect was established after the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, exactly ten thousand years ago!"
Damn it!
"What exactly is the Spirit Road?" Yang Zhen asked curiously, knowing he should ask the little girl.
Hua Youyue smiled and said, "Everyone's environment is different when they enter the Spirit Road. There are extreme places of ice and snow, scorching hot sand realms, and even hills with strong winds. Even more exaggerated, there are underwater worlds!"
"So how did you all get together?" Yang Zhen asked with great interest.
"It's best to travel together on the Spirit Road. If you encounter other cultivators, it's also advisable to travel together unless you have a major grudge, otherwise it will be difficult to pass the various trials."
Yang Zhen nodded, looked at Hua Youyue, and asked, word by word, "What happened back then? Who was so ruthless as to almost destroy your foundation?"
Hua Youyue was taken aback, then smiled and said, "It's because of a Heavenly Fortune Sacred Scale!"
Who hurt you?
" Lin Tianli!"
"Little girl, this Sage of Saunter will take you to kill someone!"
Everyone stared blankly at Yang Zhen. When Yang Zhen actually stood up, took Hua Youyue's hand, and walked out, even Hua Youyue stared blankly at Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, letting him take her hand.
"Young man, what are you doing?" the man asked in surprise.
"Paying back debts is a matter of course. Lin Li owes that little girl his life, can't I even collect it?"
this...
Everyone was stunned!
It seems like nothing's wrong at first glance, but upon further reflection, something just doesn't feel right.
Ye Zhiming's eyes lit up, and he looked intently at Yang Zhen, asking, "Are you really going to the Spirit Road?"
Yang Zhen pouted and said, "Weren't you two plotting against me all along?"
Ye Zhiming said awkwardly, "How can you call it scheming? We just felt that with your talent, it would be a waste not to go to the Spirit Road."
"What exactly is on that Spirit Peak?" Yang Zhen asked.
"I don't know!" The man's answer was as straightforward as ever.
Yang Zhen rolled his eyes, about to speak, when the Elder Gu man said in a deep voice, "It is said that there is a method to defy fate at the Spirit Peak, capable of condensing Heavenly Fate Spirit Root from the ancient times!"
"What?" Yang Zhen was taken aback and looked at Hua Youyue, asking, "Is your Heavenly Fragrance Sacred Root a Heavenly Fate Spirit Root?"
Hua Youyue nodded, a slight smile appearing on her face.
hiss!
Terrifying!
Yang Zhen looked at the three old men in surprise; no wonder they were so astonished.
The little girl is truly remarkable; she actually condensed a Heavenly Fate Spirit Root, and even did so outside the Spirit Road. In that case, the little girl did not leave empty-handed from her time on the Spirit Road.
Yang Zhen listened with astonishment, ignoring Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming who were already dumbfounded, and muttered to himself, "I wonder if this thick and large Spirit Root of Sage of Saunter is Heavenly Fate Spirit Root?"
Hua Youyue chuckled and said, "If you want to go to the Spirit Road, could you wait a month for me?"
Ye Zhiming and Bai Xuan were taken aback, a glint of light flashing in their eyes. They exchanged a glance and both saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
Hua Youyue's words were enough to prove that she wanted to venture into the Spirit Road again!
Yang Zhen asked, puzzled, "Why do we have to wait a month?"
"I want to cultivate!" Hua Youyue said these four words very calmly, but anyone could see the pride and determination in her eyes.
" Lin Tianli in trouble!" Ye Zhiming muttered to himself.
