"What... exactly did you receive?"
As soon as Mo Xueling spoke, her expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly hid behind Yang Zhen.
The water surged in like a tidal wave, and Yang Zhen gripped the hilt of the Great Deficiency Sword Great Deficiency Sword both hands, slamming it heavily into the ground.
boom--!
A colossal wave surged forth, crashing into the Great Deficiency Sword. Even with Yang Zhen's physique, he was sent flying, and with a swift movement, he pulled Hua Youyue to his side.
Mo Xueling exclaimed in surprise, grabbing Yang Zhen's arm tightly, and together with Hua Youyue, they resisted the waves.
The two rascals Shameless Cat and Flirtatious Chicken, crawled straight into Yang Zhen Yang Zhen's arms and clung tightly to his clothes.
Only when the small space was filled with water did the group breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly swim towards the exit.
The Sea of Sin Swamp seemed to have undergone a complete transformation. All the cultivators around the Sea of Sin Swamp rushed in this direction, their expressions changing rapidly with horror.
"It's a swamp; something must have changed here."
"Could it be the emergence of a hidden treasure?" someone exclaimed.
"Very likely. Quickly, such opportunities are rare. I've heard that the inheritances within the Forbidden Zone of Life are from the ancient era; just one of them could cause a great upheaval."
Countless cultivators rushed towards this side, their expressions a mixture of shock and ecstasy.
The Sea of Sin Swamp seemed to have been triggered by some kind of restriction, with blood waves surging into the sky and huge plumes of water shooting into the air, interspersed with countless roars and howls.
All the cultivators were startled, especially those who rushed in too fast and didn't pay attention to their surroundings. They rushed into the huge waves and their expressions changed drastically.
"Oh no, what is this?"
Countless sea monkeys burst out of the giant waves, and in an instant, a surge of blood erupted, and all the unsuspecting cultivators suffered a brutal fate.
"Ferocious beasts! There are so many ferocious beasts here! Run!"
"Damn it, what's wrong with these ferocious beasts? Why are they so crazy!"
Rumble--!
Terrifying giant waves blotted out the sky, and in their rage, bursts of surging energy exploded, turning the entire Sea of Sin Swamp into a living Purgatory.
Yang Zhen, along with Hua Youyue and the others, sneaked out, glanced back at the surging Sea of Sin Swamp, and clicked their tongues in amazement.
"These people are truly blinded by greed, rushing forward without understanding the situation." Mo Xueling frowned slightly as she watched a group of people charging forward, still fighting with the sea monkeys.
Yang Zhen curled his lip, not even bothering to glance at it. "People die for wealth, birds die for food. Besides, they're not wrong. Isn't there the inheritance of the Sin Clan inside?"
"People die for wealth, birds die for food!" Mo Xueling muttered to herself, "You really know how to talk. By the way, what exactly did you collect in that little world just now? It actually drove away those sea monkeys with a single shout."
Yang Zhen was taken aback, and said with a suspicious expression, "I don't know what it is either. It looks like a sign with the number nine engraved on it."
"Brand?" Mo Xueling was taken aback and asked, "What kind of brand?"
Yang Zhen described what the sign looked like, which made Mo Xueling and the others hesitate for a moment.
Within Yang Zhen's Divine Sense space, an ancient and unremarkable sign slowly floated in the air. It was only the size of a palm, and its material was indiscernible, resembling wood but with a metallic texture. It was dusty and gray, with the number nine engraved on it, and it was slowly rotating.
Yang Zhen originally wanted to show the plaque to Hua Youyue and the others, but he found that he could no longer control the plaque, and he couldn't even sense its aura.
It was as if it were a piece of wood that had been sitting for thousands of years, dusty and lifeless, occupying a space in his Divine Sense space, and then falling into silence.
Yang Zhen was powerless to do anything; he couldn't produce it. All he could do was use Yang Zhen terrible drawing skills to roughly sketch out the shape of the sign.
Mo Xueling looked at the sign Yang Zhen had drawn with a puzzled expression, shook her head and said, "I've never seen a sign like this before, and it doesn't seem to have anything special about it. How could it possibly scare away those sea monkeys with a single shout?"
Yang Zhen was also completely bewildered. After hearing what the Shameless Cat said, he was suddenly struck by inspiration and blurted out that cry. Moreover, the current upheaval of the sea monkeys in the Sea of Sin Swamp must be related to the aura emanating from Yang Zhen.
This plaque is something the Medicine Madman was determined to understand even at the cost of his life; it seems to be some kind of Forbidden Technique.
A Divine Ability, the most mysterious in the world, and considered Forbidden Technique.
Even the Medicine Madman couldn't comprehend it, so Yang Zhen naturally didn't dare to rashly try to understand it. Therefore, he simply put the plaque away and decided to try to understand it later when his cultivation level was higher.
Yang Zhen didn't think he couldn't comprehend this, but even if he did, what good would it do? With his current cultivation level, he might not only fail to gain any benefits but also face danger.
Forbidden Technique are a kind of Divine Ability that even the Great Emperor values highly, yet they are methods that anyone can use, even more mysterious than Emperor Technique.
However, although anyone can use Forbidden Technique, those with low cultivation levels should not use them casually, because there is a price to pay for using them.
Those with low cultivation levels who use Forbidden Technique may not even be as powerful as their most proficient martial arts, yet they pay an unbearable price—it's simply asking for trouble.
After Yang Zhen drew the nine-character sign, both the Shameless Cat and the Flirtatious Chicken were shocked and looked on with surprise and uncertainty.
Hua Youyue stared hesitantly at the nine-character plaque. After a long while, her expression suddenly changed drastically, and she exclaimed, " The Heaven-Ascending Token!"
" The Heaven-Ascending Token!" The two, Shameless Cat and Flirtatious Chicken, were shocked, their expressions changing as they exclaimed in unison.
" The Heaven-Ascending Token?" Even someone as knowledgeable as Mo Xueling looked puzzled, exchanging glances with Yang Zhen before asking, "What is the Heaven-Ascending Token?"
Yang Zhen nodded hastily, looking at Hua Youyue with a strange expression, his eyes filled with seriousness and curiosity.
"Young lady, who exactly are you? Mo Xueling has never even heard of this thing, yet you know about it?"
Hua Youyue hesitated and shook her head, a hint of pain showing on her face. "I... I don't know, the name 'Heaven-Ascending Token ' just suddenly appeared in my mind, and I said it subconsciously."
The Shameless Cat looked at Yang Zhen with a strange expression and muttered to itself, "Damn it, of course that little girl Mo has never heard of it. It's actually the Heaven-Ascending Token! You actually obtained the Heaven-Ascending Token!"
Yang Zhen was taken aback, staring at the Shameless Cat and said, "You remembered?"
The Shameless Cat nodded. "Even if I became an idiot, I would never forget something this awesome!"
"Idiot!" the Flirtatious Chicken said disdainfully from the side.
"Shut up, you linguistically disabled Flirtatious Chicken!" The Shameless Cat glared at Yang Zhen and said, "The Heaven and Earth One-Tenth, Nine-Step Heaven-Ascending Token, is an extremely powerful secret treasure from High Antiquity times, said to be born from Heaven and Earth!"
"A secret treasure of heaven and earth!" Mo Xueling exclaimed, her eyes flashing with horror and disbelief.
" The Nine-Step Heaven-Ascending Token, legend has it that each token possesses world-destroying power. If one could collect all nine tokens... Damn it, how is that possible? Since their inception, no one has ever been able to possess more than two of the Nine-Step Heaven-Ascending Token at the same time."
"So someone possesses two at the same time?" Yang Zhen asked curiously, "Who is that person?"
"..."
The Shameless Cat scratched its head. "Forgot!"
Yang Zhen was furious and kicked him. The Flirtatious Chicken next to him sneered and said, " Tianxuan!"
"Holy crap, I remember now, the Holy Maiden Tianxuan, it's her!" The Shameless Cat's eyes suddenly widened.
