The next morning, Yang Zhen stretched and kicked the Shameless Cat awake.
The Shameless Cat tumbled off the bed with a thud, immediately cursing, "Damn it, which bastard kicked me?"
"Get ready, let's go!" Yang Zhen yawned, washed up, and came out.
"Damn it, kid, do you have any conscience? I just fell asleep and you kicked me awake? No way, I want a 50/50 split of the crystals earned from refining this flying boat."
"You still have the nerve to say that?" Yang Zhen glared at him. "Damn it, if you hadn't been slacking off, how come we'd only managed to build two hundred ships?"
"Hmph, kid, don't blame me for discouraging you. You're just Sage of Saunter. While cultivators can't fly freely in True Essence storm, do you think everyone else is stupid? In such a dangerous situation, wouldn't everyone be preparing to fly by boat? And how do you know you'll definitely encounter True Essence storm this time?"
Yang Zhen curled his lip, glanced sideways at the Shameless Cat, and said, "This is called venture capital. Don't you understand venture capital?"
"Okay, okay, you're right, you're absolutely right. Damn it, it's a 50/50 split, I won't accept anything less."
The two were cursing and swearing when they came out, and they ran into Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er. Both of them looked to be in good spirits. Just as Yang Zhen was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.
It was just a fence gate; the three of them could easily see who was coming.
It turned out to be Ji Yourong, followed by Guan Guan and the chubby boy.
It was Ji Yourong knocked on the door, but the chubby boy opened it, grinning at Yang Zhen and saying, "Looks like you weren't planning on sneaking off alone."
Yang Zhen pursed his lips and said, "I don't even know what High Antiquity Ruins are, how could you sneak off like this by yourself?"
The chubby boy blinked and asked, "Is that a reason?"
"It doesn't seem like it!" Yang Zhen looked up behind the three of them, saw no one, and asked, "Is everyone ready?"
Ji Yourong nodded and said, "The changes in the atmosphere between heaven and earth are becoming increasingly significant. Last night, someone witnessed a soaring wave of energy erupting from the deep mountains in the north, as if a restriction had been broken. Therefore, the Great Saint discussed the matter overnight and set off early this morning. The Holy Lord specifically sent us to find you."
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Let's go!"
Watching Yang Zhen walk away, Ji Yourong's face flashed with a complicated expression. She glanced at Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er behind Yang Zhen and said, " Yang Zhen... this trip to the High Antiquity Ruins may be fraught with danger, especially for you. Be careful on the forbidden bridge..."
"Absolutely right!" the chubby boy nodded and said, " Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and Tianxue... well, it wasn't them who broke the seal, you don't need to risk your life."
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, his left shoulder showing the Shameless Cat and his right shoulder showing the Flirtatious Chicken, both giving the chubby boy a disdainful middle finger. He wondered how those two bastards had learned to do that pose—one with a claw, the other with a wing. It wasn't easy to pull off such a gesture.
As the roar of the Great Saint ' flying boats began, the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain became completely lively. Countless flying boats converged from all directions, some from the Great Saint, some from other forces, and many more small flying boats belonging to Rogue Cultivator. Following the two super flying boats, they surged northward in a mighty procession.
The Spirit Transformation Realm expert and Li Cangxu were not on the flying boat of the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, clearly indicating they were acting alone.
The Ghost Alchemist was nearly killed by Li Cangxu's sword and has now disappeared. Clearly, the restrictive bridge created using alchemy techniques needs Yang Zhen to break it.
In an instant, everyone's attention fell on Yang Zhen, who was standing on the deck of the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain flying ship.
The clouds are ever-changing, the air currents are howling, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth in the air seems to be stirred by some mysterious force, gradually bursting out like a storm, surging and tumbling in the air, visible to the naked eye.
Yang Zhen couldn't sense the source of this power; he only felt that something in the world was slowly changing.
Elder Huo the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain approached Yang Zhen, followed by Mei Chaofeng. The two exchanged a glance, and Elder Huo smiled at Yang Zhen, saying, " The High Antiquity Ruins are riddled with restrictions and countless dangers, but they also contain countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures and even divine Saint Weapon. When the ruins opened last time, three Saint Weapon appeared, all incredibly powerful. This time, we will go in and stop only at the edge of the restriction bridge. The rest is up to you."
Yang Zhen nodded, and just as he was about to speak, not far in front, a terrifying air wave suddenly erupted with a bang. The violent energy of heaven and earth exploded, almost forming a terrifying storm, sweeping towards everyone.
"Not good!"
Mei Chaofeng exclaimed in alarm, "Everyone be careful! This is a surge of True Essence from High Antiquity Ruins!"
Without Mei Chaofeng's reminder, Yang Zhen had already dragged Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er away and disappeared.
Faintly, the excited voice of the Shameless Cat could be heard. "Holy crap, it's really here, it's really here!"
They've arrived, and they've arrived so suddenly!
Rumble!
Terrifying sounds echoed endlessly, deafeningly loud, causing the entire airship to shake violently. Thousands upon thousands of airships perished.
No one expected that the restrictions would erupt as soon as the group entered the High Antiquity Ruins. Many cultivators whose flying boats had been shattered were pale-faced and struggling to resist the storm of True Essence, cursing all around.
Without a flying boat, trying to fly into the High Antiquity Ruins is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Countless people were struggling desperately to fly towards the surrounding airships, but their airships were not large to begin with, and the people from the Great Saint dared not approach them. For a moment, they were all anxiously pacing around in circles.
Yang Zhen, along with Shameless Cat three sneaky Flirtatious Chicken, appeared on a small flying boat. After reaching the edge, they marveled at the cultivators who appeared to be drowning.
"Wow, look! That pose is pretty cool, a human body rotation, it's amazing!"
"It flipped!"
"Hehe, look at that girl in the skirt over there, the wind is so strong you can see everything."
Yang Zhen slapped the Shameless Cat on the head. "Damn it, don't you know 'don't look at what you shouldn't'? All those nine years of compulsory education you received, were they wasted on this cat?"
"How can you blame me? She just flew right past me, blocking my view."
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's conversation with the Shameless Cat, countless cultivators cursed in unison.
"Damn it, Yang Zhen, you bastard, why aren't you on the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain flying ship? You're actually here gloating!"
"Quickly, Yang Zhen, activate the flying boat's formation so I can get in. I... I'll give you crystals."
"Five hundred crystal stones, and I'll have a ride for a while. Yang Zhen, you came here just to earn crystal stones, didn't you?"
Hearing the murmurs around them, Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat exchanged a glance. "See, there are still people who understand this Sage of Saunter."
As he spoke, Yang Zhen shouted to the group of cultivators, "You guessed right, this Sage of Saunter really is here to earn spirit stones, but not in this way."
Even if a small flying boat were open to let people in, how many people could actually get in?
Yang Zhen would never be interested in such a small amount of crystals. Even if it were ten amethyst crystals, let alone five hundred crystals, Yang Zhen would not allow a single person to come aboard the flying boat.
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, all the cultivators around were stunned.
"Damn it, if you don't let us in, how are you going to earn crystals? Are you trying to rob us?"
On the Great Saint' flying ships, everyone who saw Yang Zhen had strange expressions, and their mouths twitched incessantly.
Mei Chaofeng stared dumbfounded at the composed Yang Zhen, muttering to herself, "I knew it, how could Yang Zhen possibly be serious? This guy, this... this is simply... outrageous!"
On the flying boat of Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, everyone was dumbfounded, staring at Yang Zhen with disbelief.
How do you earn crystals in this situation?
If you can earn crystals in this situation, then crystals would be too easy to make, and there wouldn't be so many people in the world frowning and worrying about Cultivation Resources.
At that moment, something happened that made everyone's eyes widen in surprise.
With a casual wave of his hand, Yang Zhen summoned a flying boat beside the small one. Yang Zhen cheeky voice rang out. " The Wutuo Gang Ultimate Invincible Little Flying Boat, ten amethyst crystals per boat, highest bidder wins, minimum bid increase no less than one amethyst crystal."
The Shameless Cat produced a copper gong from somewhere and struck it with a resounding clang.
"Come, come, take a look! The Wutuo Gang Ultimate Invincible Little Flying Boat! With the Wutuo Gang Ultimate Invincible Little Flying Boat, you'll never have to dog-paddle in the True Essence Explosion again. This will be your warmest harbor. Starting price: ten amethyst crystals! Ten amethyst crystals! You won't lose out, you won't be cheated!"
After saying that, the Shameless Cat's eyes darted around. "Damn, that kid guessed right all of this. It's a waste that he's not in business."
