A terrifying shockwave, like the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Breathing, surged and rippled in mid-air, rushing wildly in all directions.
Upon hearing that earth-shattering roar, everyone around the Heavenly Mandate Spring paled and looked horrified.
Yang Zhen, however, stared intently at a massive mountain peak ahead, a smile appearing on his face as he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"We've found the little girl's scent!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Zhen grabbed the Shameless Cat and unleashed a violent shockwave from beneath his feet, charging towards the mountain peak.
The expressions of Spirit Maiden Hongluan and Xiu'er also changed. They exchanged glances, then leaped up and followed on their swords.
"It's the Spirit Peak! The Spirit Peak has opened! Yang Zhen actually triggered the restrictions of the Spirit Peak ahead of schedule."
"Quickly, if we do this, we might be able to directly enter the Spirit Peak."
"If that's the case, then Yang Zhen is a variable, a variable in the Spirit Road!"
At the Heavenly Mandate Spring, after the initial shock, everyone was overjoyed and rushed towards the mountain peak.
Along the Spirit Road, cultivators, regardless of their location, all stopped what they were doing and rushed towards the Spirit Peak upon sensing the fluctuations emanating from Spirit Peak.
In an instant, the Spirit Road was filled with figures, cultivators of all levels riding their swords, streaking across the air with dazzling light.
The Shameless Cat, held in Yang Zhen's hand, made a gurgling sound as it sprang to attention with its burst of speed. Turning its head, it shouted, "Kid, do you even know what's up on that Spirit Peak? Rushing at such speed, what if we encounter danger?"
Yang Zhen glanced at the Shameless Cat: "Stop talking nonsense, that Lin Tianli must have gone up there too, the little girl might be in danger."
The Shameless Cat sighed, "Ha, men!"
Yang Zhen slapped the Shameless Cat on the head and said, "Damn it, where did you learn so many slap-worthy words from?"
The Shameless Cat was furious. It glanced at Yang Zhen and said sarcastically, "Yeah, who did you learn that from?"
Yang Zhen was too fast. Spirit Maiden Hongluan and the others watched in horror as Yang Zhen leaped forward, quickly leaving them behind. They all showed expressions of disbelief.
"Damn it, what kind of Movement Method is Yang Zhen using? He's so fast!"
"This is bad. If this continues, Yang Zhen might be the first to reach the Spirit Peak."
"That's hard to say. After all, so much time has passed since Spirit Maiden Hua, and their cultivation levels are far beyond what Mo Tianya can match. Yang Zhen has no advantage against them at all. Moreover, throughout history, there has never been a case of two people simultaneously reaching the Spirit Peak. It's possible for Spirit Maiden Hua or Lin Tianli to reach the Spirit Peak, but Yang Zhen should probably give up."
"Who do you think will reach the Spirit Peak this time, Spirit Maiden Hua or Lin Tianli?"
Who can reach the Spirit Peak?
Upon hearing this, Spirit Maiden Hongluan and the others exchanged glances and took a deep breath at the same time.
If that person regains consciousness during the opening of the Spirit Road, probably no one will be able to reach the Spirit Peak. Even if Hua Youyue recovers her strength and surpasses her former self, it will be impossible. Or even a genius like Lin Tianli is unlikely to succeed.
Because that person... is just too powerful!
Spirit Maiden Hongluan looked at Yang Zhen with a complicated expression, her pace quickening. Xiu'er pouted and said, "Sister Hongluan, Yang Zhen is obviously preoccupied with that 'little girl,' so don't get involved."
Hearing Xiu'er's words, Spirit Maiden Hongluan trembled, glared at Xiu'er with annoyance, and said, "Little girl, don't talk nonsense. I just wanted to remind Yang Zhen that person... is not an ordinary person!"
"Whether he's an ordinary person or not, Xiu'er doesn't know. But Yang Zhen might not make it up, but he's not in any real danger. Why are you so nervous?"
Upon hearing this Spirit Maiden Hongluan paused, then smiled wryly and said, "You're right!"
Xiu'er chuckled and gave Spirit Maiden Hongluan a meaningful look.
Just then, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly came from the mountainside of Spirit Peak, which swept across the sky and startled everyone.
Yang Zhen's expression also changed. He exclaimed in surprise, "Oh dear, what happened to this little girl that made her so angry?"
This wave of energy emanated from Hua Youyue. Yang Zhen could sense that this was the most powerful aura Hua Youyue had ever unleashed, and she was clearly enraged!
boom!
A terrifying white cloud erupted beneath Yang Zhen's feet. As it exploded, he shot towards the mountainside like a bolt of lightning, his figure both unpredictable and wildly unstoppable.
As they got closer and saw the scene halfway up Great Mount Sumeru, Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat were immediately taken aback. Moreover, the energy surge on the mountainside was far more violent than Yang Zhen had imagined.
At the summit of the mountain, on a cliff ridge, stands a massive stone gate, hundreds of feet high, upon which are carved two enormous War God, their eyes like lightning, their bodies radiating bursts of violent energy, like the awe-inspiring might of heaven, surging forth in all directions.
A thunderous roar echoed in the sky, and amidst the churning and surging celestial mists and clouds, streaks of lightning, like long dragons, darted through the towering mountains, a sight that terrified the soul.
This mountain gate, like an ancient and sacred place, exudes a simple and desolate aura. Even from afar, one can feel a profound and deep atmosphere emanating from it.
Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat stopped in mid-air, looked at each other, and both had blank expressions.
This enormous mountain gate was simply too big. Ordinary humans, standing before it, felt as insignificant as ants, experiencing a profound sense of powerlessness in the face of its overwhelming power.
Following Hua Youyue's scent, Yang Zhen saw the stubborn little girl standing on the stone steps outside the mountain gate, walking up step by step with difficulty, yet with extraordinary determination.
Hua Youyue, dressed in white, appeared ethereal, like a fairy untouched by worldly affairs. Her black hair cascaded down her back. Alone with her sword, she walked and stopped, occasionally glancing up, exuding an aura of superiority.
Not far from Hua Youyue, Lin Tianli Hua Youyue playful expression and said, " Hua Youyue, do you think I'll believe you? You want that Golden Crow? I'll make sure you don't get it. There's a Heavenly Might Numerology restriction here. How about we have a contest to see who can get that Golden Crow?"
Hua Youyue remained calm, but a flash of anger appeared in her eyes as she looked at Lin Tianli and said, "Are you really going to push things to the extreme?"
Lin Tianli laughed heartily and said with great interest, "I don't know why, but you give me the feeling of being my nemesis. I always get a kind of pleasure from ruining your plans. But I don't understand why you are so obsessed with the Golden Crow, which is clearly associated with thunder and fire, while you are like wood and water, meaningless to you.
Upon hearing their conversation, Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat were both startled and looked towards the end of the stone steps.
At the end of the stone steps, in front of the mountain gate, a Golden Crow the size of a palm sits like a statue on a stone platform, radiating golden light, clearly no ordinary object.
The Shameless Cat had obviously seen the Golden Crow too. Turning to Yang Zhen, a strange look flickered in its eyes, it clicked its tongue in amazement and said, "Kid, that Lin kid is even more cheeky than you!"
Yang Zhen was furious. He slapped the Shameless Cat and said, "This Sage of Saunter is slutty, slutty Heavenbreaker, how can you call him slutty? But this Lin fellow is really no good. He's so excited about doing things that harm others without benefiting himself. He's obviously out of his mind!"
At this moment, Hua Youyue's expression suddenly changed, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood, clearly finding it difficult to bear.
Yang Zhen's expression changed, and he was about to rush down when he suddenly heard Hua Youyue say softly, "You're right, this Golden Crow is useless to me. I... just want to give it to someone."
Give it away?
Lin Tianli was stunned, Yang Zhen was taken aback, and the Shameless Cat's eyes widened, looking like it was full of gossip.
