The conversation between Master Tie and the female demon Luoluo the surrounding group completely bewildered, except for Luo Luo, who seemed to be deep in thought. She glanced in the direction where Yang Zhen had disappeared and then came to Master Tie's side.
"Grandpa, can Yang Zhen really understand the secrets of heaven and earth?"
Master Tie glanced at Luoluo Luo, but this time he didn't scold her. Instead, he shook his head, sighed, and said, "Before heaven and earth, all the actions of living beings are futile."
"Why?" Luoluo clearly didn't understand what she meant, just like everyone else present, who couldn't possibly comprehend the secrets and legends of this world.
The female demon chuckled, swaying her hips as she walked away, muttering to herself, "No matter how things change, as long as I remain true to myself, that's enough. Master Tie, whether we can take that step together is still a mystery. It's best to just live well and not get involved in too many things."
Master Tie paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There are some things I have to do. If I don't, I won't be able to face my ancestors, let alone take that step."
The enchantress smiled, giving Master Tie a meaningful look, as if speaking to Master Tie, or perhaps murmuring to herself, "Old man, we're not young anymore, and... I don't have much time left to wait for you, but don't take even that little bit away from me, that would be too cruel."
A strange look flashed across Master Tie's face. He pulled Luoluo's hand and walked outside. After a long while, he stopped and said, "You... don't worry, I won't die."
Watching Master Tie and Heaven Realm Luoluo, Yang Zhen Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique cultivation of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, having killed Spirit Transformation Realm expert, possessing Heaven and Earth True Runes and Companion Heavenly Fire, possessing the Heavenly Book —just how much potential does such a person have?"
Yang Zhen himself didn't know how much potential he had, but it was definitely a lot. As he sped along the road, Yang Zhen felt extremely strange.
The mark on the Shameless Cat actually emanated a dangerous aura, which truly surprised Yang Zhen.
How could that Shameless Cat possibly encounter any danger?
With a flick of Yang Zhen's wrist, a black dot as dark as ink appeared in mid-air, like a swift insect with a long, ink-like tail, shooting off into the distance.
Along the way, Yang Zhen barely suppressed the power within his body, moving with lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the place where the aura fluctuated, and was immediately taken aback.
"Damn it, why would that Shameless Cat come to a place like this?"
Yang Zhen looked at the scene before him with a strange expression, feeling a sense of unease.
This is a dilapidated site, and it doesn't look like the site of any major power. It has been ransacked and searched countless times.
What Yang Zhen found somewhat strange was that this place didn't resemble a cultivation sect or an ancestral home; rather, it looked like a school.
After Yang Zhen landed, there was a group of people wandering around the ruins, three men and two women, a very common treasure hunting group.
"Senior Brother Guo, this place has been searched countless times. Is there really black sand here?" one of the women in white asked a young man beside her with a worried expression, her face showing hesitation.
The young man, addressed as Senior Brother Guo, chuckled softly, "Don't worry, Junior Sister Feng. It's said that black sand appeared in this place a few days ago. If the news spreads, this place will surely see another great treasure hunt."
Another woman beside her chuckled and said, " Junior Sister Feng, since Senior Brother Guo says there is, then there really is. Have you forgotten that this place isn't as simple as it seems? Even many seniors suspect there are some hidden restrictions or secrets inside that we haven't discovered yet."
The other two men also offered words of comfort, and only then did the woman surnamed Feng relax a little.
Yang Zhen listened for a while but didn't hear any useful information. Moreover, the most powerful among them, Senior Brother Guo, was only at the Peak Tribulation Transcendence Realm. The others had just broken through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and Junior Sister Feng hadn't even undergone her second Heavenly Tribulation yet.
For some reason, after arriving here, Yang Zhen could no longer sense the aura emanating from the Shameless Cat, clearly indicating that he had entered a place where information could be concealed.
Being in an unfamiliar place, Yang Zhen looked up and saw only ruins everywhere. Searching for the Shameless Cat in such a large area was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Yang Zhen Yang Zhen up to the five people and, under their wary gazes, grinned, trying to appear friendly, and asked, "Gentlemen, may I ask where this place is?"
"What place?" Senior Brother Guo looked at Yang Zhen with suspicion, not answering Yang Zhen's question, but instead asking, "This fellow Daoist doesn't even know what this place is?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "I'm new here. Is this place famous?"
After exchanging bewildered glances, Senior Brother Guo and the others burst into laughter, saying, "So that's how it is! This place is more than just famous; everyone in the entire North Isle knows of the existence of the Mountain and River Court."
What is Mountain and River Court?
"You..." Senior Brother Guo paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Never mind, it seems this is really your first time here. Anyway, we need to stay here for a while longer, so just come with us. We'll explain everything to you along the way."
Yang Zhen's face lit up with joy, and he quickly agreed, happily following behind Senior Brother Guo.
Pfft!
A soft chuckle rang out, and the woman next to Junior Sister Feng seemed to have been amused by Yang Zhen, unable to hold back her laughter.
"You're really something else, daring to come to a place like this all by yourself, yet you don't even know where you are. I really don't know what you were thinking."
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, gazing into the distance with a melancholy expression. "Miss, you don't know this, but I've dreamed of traveling the world with a sword since I was a child. Later, I was too busy with work to go, but now that I'm finally free, how can I not travel to my heart's content? So for me, this world is simply this world. There's nowhere I can't go, and I don't care what kind of place it is."
The five people were taken aback, and looked at Yang Zhen with strange expressions, their eyes showing surprise.
Yang Zhen wasn't just showing off. Which boy on this blue planet hasn't dreamed of wandering the world with a sword, living a carefree and unrestrained life, righting wrongs and settling scores? If it weren't for the fact that they wouldn't eat if they didn't work, maybe some people would actually do that. It's clear that movies and TV shows are all lies.
Those chivalrous heroes spent their days fighting evil and protecting the innocent. Aside from robbing money, Yang Zhen couldn't imagine where their travel expenses came from. In fact, most of the things in Yang Zhen's storage ring were indeed stolen.
The Cultivation World is actually not much different from the blue planet; there are people who work hard and people who cheat and swindle.
The people here, relying on their superior cultivation, engage in robbery and plunder, which is actually no different from the business on the Blue Planet where everyone profits from each other.
Senior Brother Guo glanced at Yang Zhen with a solemn expression, and said admiringly, "I didn't expect this fellow Daoist to have such a high level of cultivation. My name is Guo Jing. May I ask your name?"
" Guo Jing?" Yang Zhen was taken aback. "What a coincidence, my name is Yang Zhaxin!"
