A flower blooms for a fleeting moment, yet its beauty is breathtaking!
Hua Youyue smiled radiantly, her face always radiating a serene smile, while a sweet, glutinous aroma filled the air.
Buzz--!
All the energy in the world seemed to converge, and a beautiful epiphyllum imprint shone brightly, slowly approaching Yang Zhen. Amidst everyone's astonished expressions, it was imprinted into Yang Zhen's brow.
Yang Zhen was startled and looked at Hua Youyue in surprise, asking, "Little girl, what are you doing?"
Hua Youyue smiled serenely, shook her head, and said, "From this day forward, Hua Youyue is Hua Youyue, no longer the Three Flowers Holy Maiden, nor can she ever become the Three Flowers Holy Maiden."
Yang Zhen was overjoyed and nodded, saying, "That's right. You are you, unique in the world. What the hell is this ' Three Flowers Holy Maiden'? This kind of three-part soul technique is simply the most ridiculous Cultivation Method. One person is split into three people. Since each has formed its own consciousness, wouldn't it be cruel to put them back together?"
Hua Youyue smiled and nodded, about to speak, when the Saint-level divine soul suddenly snorted coldly, looking at her and saying, "What do you know? A fleeting moment, though brilliant, is also fading. Although Hua Youyue broke the restrictions of the Three Flowers Ancient Scripture and dedicated her life to you, she..."
At this point, the Saint-level Divine Soul gave Hua Youyue a strange look and continued, "But she only has ten years left to live. Unless she can become a Saint within ten years, or obtain a supreme treasure of life from heaven and earth, she will surely die!"
"What?" Yang Zhen's expression changed, and he stared at Hua Youyue, asking, "Is what she said true?"
Hua Youyue nodded, her smile unchanged, and slowly said, "Ten years is enough!"
"Indeed!" A Saint-level Divine Soul sighed, "Ten years is indeed enough!"
Yang Zhen's expression turned cold as he stared at the Saint-level divine soul and asked, "What do you mean?"
What's ten years enough?
Ten years is not enough. Which Great Saint Sage has not cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years? Let alone Hua Youyue, even Yang Zhen cannot guarantee that he can break through to the Great Saint Realm within ten years.
Oh shit!
Yang Zhen suddenly felt irritated and had an urge to destroy this damned Three Flowers Ancient Scripture.
The Saint-level Divine Soul, unaware of Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, glanced at him and slowly said, "Ten years is naturally enough, because you forcibly comprehended the Heaven-Ascending Token, and even comprehended two steps at once. Although your physical injuries have healed, your divine soul is extremely difficult to repair."
As he spoke, the Saint-level Divine Soul took a deep breath and changed the subject, saying, "Actually, ten years is too much time, because you only have three years left to live, unless you can cultivate to the Great Saint Realm within three years."
"..."
Yang Zhen stared speechlessly at the Saint-level divine soul. "Damn!"
Reaching the Great Saint Realm in three years is impossible even with cheat codes. This kind of realm advancement is completely different from cultivation advancement. Even if Yang Zhen tried every possible method, consuming all the edible heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the world, and forcibly pushed his cultivation to the Great Saint level, realm advancement is not something that can be achieved overnight.
Who knows how many times one needs to have a sudden enlightenment to attain sainthood!
Upon hearing the words of the Saint-level Divine Soul, everyone present was shocked and looked at Yang Zhen with strange expressions, each person's face showing a different emotion.
Yang Zhen turned to look at the Shameless Cat in a daze, and asked hesitantly, "Damn it, does this Sage of Saunter only have three years left to live?"
The Shameless Cat grinned, nodded, and said, "Feel it for yourself!"
Yang Zhen was taken aback, his mind focused on his body, a strange look on his face.
If we consider the soul as an apple, Yang Zhen's apple looks like it's been mostly bitten off, and in a way that's like a dog chewed it—crooked, crooked, and quite unsightly!
"Damn it..."
Yang Zhen was completely dumbfounded. This Nine-Step Heaven-Ascending Token was a complete trap. Although it seemed incredibly powerful, the side effects were too great.
The Saint-level divine soul body grew increasingly ethereal, and it smiled at Yang Zhen, saying, "You sensed it? How about it, do you feel any regret?"
Everyone looked at Yang Zhen with surprise and doubt, and after exchanging glances, they all shook their heads.
Even if they were saved, what good would it do? In the end, Hua Youyue only had ten years left to live, and Yang Zhen was even worse off, with only three years left to live.
A group of people stared intently at Yang Zhen. With only three years left to live, how could he not regret it?
Many people even began to gloat, watching Yang Zhen with amusement, not even daring to blink, afraid of missing a hint of regret on Yang Zhen's face.
At this moment, even Hua Youyue became nervous. Although she was still able to look at Yang Zhen quietly, everyone could see the complexity in her heart.
" Yang Zhen..." Mo Xueling called out hesitantly in a low voice.
Yang Zhen seemed to wake from a dream, glanced at Mo Xueling, and his expression became strange. He turned to the Saint-level Divine Soul and asked, "You said... if we can find the supreme treasure of life in heaven and earth, the little girl's lifespan can be restored?"
The Saint-level Divine Soul nodded, looking at Yang Zhen curiously. " Hua Youyue is different from you; she is now a complete Divine Soul, so..."
"Why didn't you say so earlier..." Yang Zhen grinned, walking step by step towards Hua Youyue: "Damn it, you made this Sage of Saunter's heart pound."
Everyone looked at each other blankly, clearly confused by Yang Zhen's reaction, not knowing what Yang Zhen to do.
Even the Saint-level Divine Soul and Hua Youyue looked at Yang Zhen in surprise, hesitant to speak.
Yang Zhen approached Hua Youyue, placed his hands on her shoulders, and said, "Little girl, your life is now intertwined with this Sage of Saunter's?"
Hua Youyue nodded and said, "My life or death is entirely up to you!"
Yang Zhen grinned and said, "That's good. If I wanted you to live for ten thousand or twenty thousand years, wouldn't it be as simple as just thinking about it?"
Hua Youyue froze, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.
The people around looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Is Yang Zhen stupid? It's true that Hua Youyue's life is in his hands, but now it's easy for him to kill her, but how could he possibly let her live!"
"It's not impossible. If I can reach the Great Saint Realm within ten years, wouldn't I be able to survive?"
" The Great Saint Realm?" Everyone shook their heads. "How can you advance to that level? Are you dreaming?"
Everyone sighed, " Yang Zhen is clearly blinded by his own involvement; he's lost his mind!"
At this moment, Hua Youyue hesitated, then suddenly felt a shiver run through her body, and her bright eyes widened abruptly.
With a snap of his fingers, Yang Zhen unleashed a terrifying life force that surged outwards in all directions, nearly causing everyone's eyes to pop out of their sockets.
" The Ageless Tree!" The Saint-level Divine Soul trembled violently, staring at Yang Zhen in disbelief. "You actually possess the Ancient Tree of Life within you... what do you intend to do?"
The Shameless Cat's eyes suddenly lit up, and it exclaimed excitedly, "Damn it, how could I have forgotten about the Ageless Tree? With the Ageless Tree, the little girl will be perfect!"
At this point, the Shameless Cat's expression darkened. "But that Shameless Yang has even less hope."
Yang Zhen glanced at the sapling floating in the air, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth caused by the injury from forcibly peeling off the Ageless Tree, and said with a smile, "Little girl, you've really fallen for this Sage of Saunter's charm for life. You're so beautiful, how about this Sage of Saunter gives you a token of love!"
As he spoke, Yang Zhen reached out and pressed the Ageless Tree between Hua Youyue 'Hua Youyue eyebrows, much to her shock.
Hua Youyue let out a muffled groan, and a monstrous wave of life energy suddenly erupted from her body.
" Yang Zhen, why... why are you doing this?" The Saint-level Divine Soul gave a bitter laugh.
Yang Zhen rolled his eyes. "You don't understand, and besides... this Sage of Saunter doesn't want to talk to single dogs!"
