"Go to the Spirit Road!" Yang Zhen said sharply.
They had known each other for a while, but given their relationship, Yang Zhen couldn't just stand by and watch Hua Youyue leave.
Shameless Cat said was just a guess. Based on Yang Zhen's experience of reading countless novels, biographies, and even blockbuster TV dramas, there might be other possibilities, such as... Hua Youyue being possessed?
If Hua Youyue had truly awakened her Ancient Bloodline, causing a drastic change in her personality, she wouldn't have forgotten Bai Xuan and Water Moon Spirit Maiden, after all, these were people she had risked her life for.
Whatever the reason, Yang Zhen couldn't suppress his curiosity; he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly until he figured it out.
The Shameless Cat curled its lip and glanced sideways at Yang Zhen, saying, "Kid, if that little girl really awakens her Ancient Bloodline, you'd better not get too close to her."
"Why?" Yang Zhen paused, asking curiously.
For some reason, Yang Zhen felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what the Shameless Cat said.
Damn it, does it matter who you befriend?
Yang Zhen was stubborn as a mule; as long as they were compatible, Yang Zhen would become sworn brothers with even a great demon.
Now, hearing the Shameless Cat say not to get too close to Hua Youyue, Yang Zhen didn't fly into a rage on the spot, which showed his excellent self-control.
Even so, Yang Zhen kept a close watch on the Shameless Cat, ready to give it a good beating if it dared to utter a single word of nonsense.
Damn it, it's always me, the Sage of Saunter Sage of Saunter, who dares to tell me what to do?
The Shameless Cat seemed startled by Yang Zhen's gaze and angrily said, "Damn it, what kind of look is that?"
"Speak up!" Yang Zhen's eyes widened even more.
The Shameless Cat curled its lip and said, "You scared me so much that I forgot some things and need to eat something good... Let go! If you have the guts, let go, and I'll fight you to the death!"
Yang Zhen grabbed the Shameless Cat by the tail and swung it around several times, threateningly demanding, "Are you going to talk or not?"
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you right now, just let go, I'm dizzy..."
After Yang Zhen threw the Shameless Cat to the ground, the Shameless Cat wobbled and fell several times, but even so, it refused to put all four legs on the ground. It was simply a weirdo.
Having finally recovered, the Shameless Cat took a deep breath and said, "Once Ancient Bloodline is awakened, one enters into an Elder Gu tradition. These people are Curse; although the world calls them 'Heavenly Fate Bloodline,' they are inherently ominous and will bring disaster..."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen cursed under his breath and said irritably, "I thought it was something serious, but it's just this. Causing trouble is nothing to me. Don't you know that this 'Sage of Saunter's' luck is off the charts?"
"What does 'off the charts' mean?" the Shameless Cat asked hesitantly. Before Yang Zhen could speak, it sneered and said, "No matter how lucky you are, your strength is what it is. Can you withstand Heavenly Punishment?"
Seeing that Yang Zhen was about to speak, the Shameless Cat waved his hand and said, "Even the Great Saint wouldn't dare to get too close to these people who have awakened Ancient Bloodline. Do you think you're Niu Bi than the Great Saint?"
Holy crap!
Yang Zhen was dumbfounded.
Even the Great Saint can be tricked?
This Ancient Bloodline is simply incredible!
Seeing Yang Zhen's dumbfounded expression, the Shameless Cat curled its lip with a smug look and said, "Now you know how powerful it is, right? Ancient Bloodline are beings that Heaven and Earth Rejection cannot tolerate. Even if you walk near them, you might be struck by lightning out of nowhere, and it will be a sudden, unavoidable strike. Plus, you love to show off..."
The Shameless Cat chuckled, glancing sideways at Yang Zhen, and said, "What did you say again? 'Don't show off, or you'll get struck by lightning...' Damn it, what kind of look is that?"
The Shameless Cat's fur stood on end as it watched Yang Zhen's eyes grow brighter and brighter.
Yang Zhen chuckled strangely, looked up at the sky, and said with eager anticipation, "This is great, this is great! I didn't get enough of the fun I had when I defied fate, and then the Heavenly Tribulation disappeared. Now that I have a way to summon lightning, it saves this Sage of Saunter from having to painstakingly cultivate his realm."
The Shameless Cat stared at Yang Zhen, speechless, and shook its head, saying, "I admire you!"
"I'm ashamed!" Yang Zhen laughed heartily, patted Ye Zhiming on the shoulder, and said, "Buddy, you know how to get to the Spirit Road, right?"
Ye Zhiming, looking completely bewildered, nodded. He exchanged glances with Bai Xuan and Water Moon Spirit Maiden, all staring at Yang Zhen as if he were a madman.
Along the way, Yang Zhen gained a general understanding of the Ancient Bloodline. According to the Shameless Cat, this thing has been passed down since High Antiquity times. At that time, there was a race called 'Gu', and many people in the race could awaken the Ancient Bloodline.
However, the chances of awakening such Ancient Bloodline are inherently small, and there are also differences in strength. Therefore, we will only know the extent to which Hua Youyue has awakened after meeting her.
"The Eastern Sea East Region is just ahead!" Ye Zhiming said, pointing to a vast, continuous mountain range.
Yang Zhen looked up and was immediately taken aback.
From afar, the East Sea Region resembles a gigantic, terrifying beast curled up on the surface of the sea, stretching as far as the eye can see.
What surprised Yang Zhen even more was that the True Essence of heaven and earth in the East Sea Region seemed extremely dense, several times that of White Cloud Mountain.
After arriving in the East Sea Region, Ye Zhiming, Bai Xuan, and Water Moon Spirit Maiden exchanged glances, all revealing expressions of surprise and uncertainty.
"Have we arrived too early? Why is it so quiet here?"
Yang Zhen looked around curiously, then turned to Bai Xuan and asked, "What kind of scene should this place be like?"
Bai Xuan said in a deep voice, "A sea of people, stretching endlessly!"
"Unless..." Water Moon Spirit Maiden's expression changed, and she asked, "Unless the Spirit Road has already been opened!"
"What?" Yang Zhen asked, his eyes wide. "Don't you know when the Spirit Road will open?"
The group was situated at the foot of a lush, verdant mountainside, with towering trees, jagged rocks, and occasionally, enormous birds with huge wings soaring through the air, their cries piercing the heavens and earth.
Not far ahead, rows of buildings stand side by side, seemingly chaotic, yet exuding an air of understated elegance.
However, there were very few pedestrians on the street at this time, and it looked rather deserted.
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Bai Xuan smiled and said, "There are still six months until the next opening of the Spirit Road, but the timing is a bit uncertain. Perhaps someone will spend a huge price to artificially open the Spirit Road tomorrow. After all, some geniuses don't wait for anyone when they are in peak condition."
Ye Zhiming nodded and continued, "Therefore, Spirit Essence City is always overcrowded. Even though they know it's not yet time for the Spirit Road to open, cultivators from all over the continent will stop here for a while. Whether it's for cultivation or exchanging resources, this is the most comprehensive and safest place."
"Oh?" Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked, "Is private fighting prohibited here?"
Ye Zhiming shook his head and said, "Not only do they not prohibit it, they also strongly encourage solving any problem with strength, which is why the houses here are so simple and messy."
Yang Zhen listened with a click of his tongue in amazement and asked, "Since you're encouraging everyone to settle things with their fists, why do you say it's a relatively safe place?"
Water Moon Spirit Maiden chuckled and said, "Because there are five Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts guarding this place, and the most intolerable thing here is bullying others and the strong taking advantage of the weak."
" Tribulation Transcendence Realm?" Yang Zhen was taken aback. Tribulation meant there was lightning involved.
Seeing the glittering light in Yang Zhen's eyes, the Shameless Cat was startled and asked with a strange cry, "Kid, have you been struck by lightning and gone mad?"
boom--!
As soon as the Shameless Cat finished speaking, a Thunderclap resounded from mid-air, and everyone looked up in surprise and doubt. A figure fell from mid-air, screaming repeatedly, and crashed into the ground with a loud bang.
