The Shameless Cat's single sentence, "I made a mistake," completely baffled Yang Zhen.
Looking back at the indignant and bewildered Sha Clan, Yang Zhen almost grabbed the Shameless Cat and the Flirtatious Chicken and turned to run away.
What the hell? Did they insult the wrong person?
Seeing the smug look on the Shameless Cat's face, Yang Zhen glared at him and threatened, "Damn it, you better explain yourself clearly to this Sage of Saunter, or Sage of Saunter 'll stuff you inside that statue."
The Shameless Cat shrank its neck and roared angrily, "Damn it, kid, why don't you tell the truth!"
"Isn't it all your fault? You only said half of what you meant!" Yang Zhen quickly and accurately shifted the blame.
"You're shameless!" the Shameless Cat said, curling his lip. "I just sensed it again on the mountain, and my judgment was correct. You're wrong. You don't need to curse; they simply couldn't have accomplished the Opening Heaven."
"Why?" Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked the Shameless Cat curiously.
The Sha Clan Elder had a gloomy face as he stared at the Shameless Cat and said, "This is utterly absurd. Do you think I wouldn't know whether or not I can accomplish the Opening Heaven?"
The other Sha Clan also glared angrily at the Shameless Cat, as if they would stew it and serve it as a snack if it didn't explain itself clearly.
The Shameless Cat scoffed, perched on Yang Zhen's shoulder, utterly unafraid of any Sha Clan Elder, and arrogantly declared, "Old man, have you gone mad from sleeping? You haven't even figured out the situation before blindly attempting to Opening Heaven. This isn't Opening Heaven, this is committing a sin!"
"You bastard!" A man behind the Sha Clan Elder roared, slamming his cane heavily on the ground with a dull thud. "Tell me, how has my Sha Clan committed any atrocities?"
The Sha Clan surrounded Yang Zhen in unison, all staring intently at Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat in the crowd, clearly with ill intentions.
Indeed, what was supposed to be a long-awaited Opening Heaven was disrupted by Yang Zhen's interference, who dragged out the holy maiden who was supposed to be offered as a sacrifice. This had already enraged the Sha Clan. Now, a Shameless Cat has appeared, claiming that they are committing a sin. This is utterly absurd.
If there hadn't been so many cultivators from other races present, the Sha Clan would probably have swarmed forward and trampled Yang Zhen and that Shameless Cat Flirtatious Chicken never even looked at anyone) to death.
The Shameless Cat didn't answer the Sha Clan's question. Instead, he looked at Yang Zhen, curled his lip, and said, "Boy, you can come and go freely from the Heaven and Earth Formation set up by the Great Saint Sage. Can't you see that this world has been tampered with?"
"What?"
The Sha Clan Elder was furious. Pointing at the Shameless Cat, he shouted, "This land was refined by the Holy Maiden of my Sha Clan with immense power. How dare others trample on it, let alone tamper with it? Today you must give me an explanation, or none of you will leave this place."
Yang Zhen glanced at the Sha Clan Elder, but ignored the old man who was clearly still half asleep.
Most of these Ancient Clan and Secret Clan are arrogant and haughty, and Yang Zhen dislikes dealing with them. However, their treasures are a valuable resource.
Although the Shameless Cat can be quite unreliable at times, this is clearly not the time for jokes. If the Shameless Cat says that something has been tampered with here, then it must have been.
Yang Zhen strained his eyes to look, and in his Divine Sense space, the Heavenly Numbers Earth Treasury Chapter suddenly burst forth with a burst of light, almost instantly taking in the entire underground cave.
The Shameless Cat's voice rang out, and it said to the Sha Clan Elder with a look of disdain, "Old man, you keep saying that no one is allowed to trample on this place. I ask you, where did those ice palaces come from?"
"That... that's an High Antiquity legacy, existing long before the Holy Maiden chose this place!" Sha Clan Elder argued forcefully, his eyes wide. "It's just that we don't know why, when we triggered the ice sculpture's heaven and earth formation, it suddenly appeared."
The Shameless Cat cackled sarcastically, saying, "You guys are really something, aren't you? You managed to trigger your own celestial array and unearth an High Antiquity ruin. You truly are chosen ones."
"What... what do you mean by that?"
"It's meaningless. If you remain stubborn and continue to dream of creating some kind of heaven, I guarantee you won't succeed. The grand scheme of heaven and earth that your Holy Maiden has laid out for you over thousands of years will become someone else's snack!"
"You... you're talking nonsense!"
"Whether it's nonsense or not, it's not up to you to decide, nor is it up to me. Kid, have you figured it out?"
The last sentence was said by the Shameless Cat to Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen nodded solemnly and said, "I didn't realize that!"
The Shameless Cat stumbled, staring blankly at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen smiled smugly at the Shameless Cat: "You dare steal the limelight from this Sage of Saunter!"
As he spoke, Yang Zhen turned to the Sha Clan Elder and said, " The Heavenly Concealment Formation, although it seizes the creation of heaven and earth, your Holy Maiden must have been injured when she set it up. Yang energy entered her body, and Yin energy alone cannot produce life. That's why there is a Yin spirit ice sculpture containing terrifying Sha Qi here to suppress it. Am I right, Sage of Saunter Maiden?"
"Impossible!" The Sha Clan Elder's expression changed drastically, and he stared at Yang Zhen in horror, asking, "How did you figure that out?"
The other Sha Clan also stared at Yang Zhen in horror. This matter was a secret of the Sha Clan and was absolutely not allowed to be revealed to anyone. In fact, even the members of the Sha Clan did not know why this Yin Spirit Ice Sculpture was placed here instead of in the ancestral land of the Sha Clan.
Now that Yang Zhen has revealed the truth, everyone suddenly realized that the Holy Maiden was indeed seriously injured when she set up the Heaven and Earth Formation.
But... just how much skill in Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could one see through a thousand years in a single glance, only to discover that the person who set up the formation was seriously injured?
Everyone stared at Yang Zhen with astonishment and uncertainty. Even Old Ghost Hei and Palace Master Liu gathered around, looking at Yang Zhen with expressions of utter Celestial Person.
"You don't need to know how I figured it out!" Yang Zhen Sage of Saunter his lips, looking at the magnificent ice palace complex in mid-air with a look of amazement.
"While it's true that this ice palace complex is an High Antiquity site, its layout and structure are completely inconsistent with the local feng shui. Therefore, there's only one possibility: this massive ice palace complex was moved here after you fell into slumber!"
"What?"
Everyone was taken aback, staring in disbelief at the ice palace complex.
What kind of force could have moved such a terrifyingly massive complex of buildings here?
Let alone the entire complex, even the smallest palace within it couldn't be moved an inch by the most powerful cultivator present.
The Sha Clan Elder's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Yang Zhen glanced at the Shameless Cat and continued, "The Ice Palace is in a state of turmoil, stealing spiritual energy and concealing yin energy. Coupled with the icy terrain here, it's clear that once the evil Sha Qi within this ice sculpture erupts, the spiritual essence of your Sha Clan accumulated over tens of thousands of years will all be..."
At this point, Yang Zhen pointed to the entrance of the largest palace in the ice palace complex and said firmly, "They will all be taken over by the people inside!"
"No, this is impossible. Who could possibly have such extraordinary abilities to steal the sky and change the sun?" The Sha Clan Elder was pale, but he seemed to have already believed most of it.
The Sha Clan, who were already quite proficient in the art of formations and the Ksitigarbha, naturally knew Yang Zhen talking nonsense or if there was any truth to it.
Just as the Sha Clan were filled with doubt and uncertainty, a deafening roar suddenly came from the largest hall of the Ice Palace complex, as if the person was furious that someone had ruined their plans.
The next moment, a massive black wave surged out from the hall, forming a dark shadow.
" The Great Saint Tianti!" The Sha Clan Elder's face suddenly turned deathly pale, then he roared in fury, "No, how could it be him!"
Yang Zhen Sha Clan Elder, "What are you all standing there for? Let's take him down!"
As he spoke, Yang Zhen took the lead and retreated into the crowd.
Damn, this is the Great Saint!
