Seeing the Heavenly Secret Lock unleash a terrifying, world-shaking light, Yang Zhen was completely dumbfounded.
During the Three Lives Coiled Dragon Formation, the Heavenly Secret Lock remained completely still. Now, after altering the celestial phenomena and terrain, has the Heavenly Secret Lock... come to life?
Or is this also a setup?
If there's another scheme within a scheme, then Yang Zhen would truly be cursing. Who on earth was this damned bastard who could scheme to this extent?
What kind of mysterious thing is inside this Heavenly Secret Lock, with layer upon layer like peeling an onion, never-ending?
"Young friend Yang Decao, are you alright?" Death Shadow's voice came, filled with worry.
Although this old guy is a bit of a goofball, he clearly cares about Yang Zhen. After being freed from the shackles of the Mara Sect, his temperament has gradually recovered.
Gong Sanhe also approached Yang Zhen with a worried expression, and said hesitantly, " The Heavenly Secret Lock's restrictions seem to have been triggered."
Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. Who cares if it's been triggered? I even broke the Three Lives Coiled Dragon Formation Sage of Saunter. If there are any more restrictions, I'll just charge right through."
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, Gong Sanhe looked at Yang Zhen with suspicion, seemingly wondering about Yang Zhen's background. Finally, he said in a deep voice, "Alright, this time I'll go first. You recover first."
Before Gong Sanhe could finish speaking, Yang Zhen stood up energetically and said, "I'm fine, let's go."
Seeing Yang Zhen swing his arms and kick his legs as he strode towards the Heavenly Secret Lock, Gong Sanhe's jaw nearly dropped to the ground. He and Death Shadow stared at each other, both completely dumbfounded.
"Is that all?"
The two spoke in unison, then gave a wry smile, shook their heads, and followed.
Ding Chun, standing behind him, was already used to it. At first, he still had the idea of competing with Yang Zhen, but now he no longer had that thought. It was obvious that he couldn't compare to a prodigy like Yang Zhen.
Wen Yuning watched Yang Zhen rush over recklessly from behind, and now she looked at Yang Zhen with increasing curiosity. However, she was a quiet person and stayed behind the group, rarely speaking.
After the Heavenly Secret Lock flashed with a dazzling light, it gradually subsided. When Yang Zhen and the others approached, they discovered that the four pillars of the Heavenly Secret Lock were much larger than they had imagined, looking like pillars of heaven, stretching as far as the eye could see.
In the empty space between the four pillars, there are countless huge chains, the material of which is unknown, yet they show no signs of aging or weathering even after so long.
Amidst countless thick chains, a strangely shaped building is attached; this is where the Heavenly Secret Lock is located.
Yang Zhen and Gong Sanhe exchanged glances, then leaped into the air. A burst of energy suddenly erupted from their Somersault Cloud as they charged towards the Heavenly Secret Lock.
Gong Sanhe and Death Shadow also leaped up, followed by Ding Chun and the other two.
It wasn't until he entered that strange building that Yang Zhen was astonished to discover that the Heavenly Secret Lock was not a lock at all, but rather something like a secret treasure. It was vast and boundless, appearing small from the outside, but containing a hidden world within.
Standing inside the Heavenly Secret Lock, after Yang Zhen and the other three, including Gong Sanhe and the four members of the Death Shadow, came up, Yang Zhen turned around and asked, "Which way do we go?"
The crowd stared blankly into the endless building, which was full of winding paths, like a maze. They looked at each other, speechless.
I've never been here before!
Every single one of the five was visiting the Heavenly Secret Lock for the first time. Who knew what dangers lay inside, or how to get out?
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, turned to look at the four of them, and said, "None of you four have any ideas?"
Upon hearing this, Gong Sanhe's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "You have a way?"
Yang Zhen did not answer Gong Sanhe's question. Instead, he turned to look at Death Shadow and Ding Chun. After they shook their heads to indicate that there was nothing they could do, he looked at Wen Yuning.
Wen Yuning, then shook her head and said, "I don't know which way to go either!"
Yang Zhen sighed, took a few steps, picked up a rotten wooden stick, and said, "Since none of you have a solution, then this ' Sage of Saunter' will reluctantly use a method that most people in our village use when faced with difficult choices."
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, all four of them lit up, especially Gong Sanhe, who laughed heartily and said, "Young friend Yang, you are indeed extraordinary. In this situation, you... your village actually has most people who can come up with a solution?"
The Death Shadow looked at Yang Zhen with suspicion and uncertainty. This time, he didn't mention his pair of eyes, but they were rolling around incessantly, clearly wanting to see just how miraculous the method Yang Zhen was talking about was.
Ding Chun and Wen Yuning stared wide-eyed at Yang Zhen, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Along the way, Yang Zhen used a variety of methods, something the two of them deeply realized.
Hearing Yang Zhen's method, the two were naturally very interested. Even if they couldn't learn it, seeing it would be good enough, and they'd have something to Niu Bi later.
Of course, this was just Ding Chun's own idea; Wen Yuning a girl, was simply curious.
In response to Gong Sanhe's question, Yang Zhen nodded and said, "This is a problem of probability, it's quite profound, and you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you. Just watch carefully."
After saying that, Yang Zhen raised the wooden stick above his head and swung it around, chanting in a serious Niannian, "Rooster head, hen head, not this head, but this head, hey!"
The shout startled the four men. Their eyes twitched as they watched Yang Zhen swiftly throw the wooden stick in his hand. It spun several times in the air before landing with a thud on the ground.
"This way!" Yang Zhen casually pointed to a path indicated by the wooden stick, right in the center of the intersection!
The four people looked at each other, bewildered.
What kind of tactic is this?!
Not only was there no fluctuation of True Essence, but it also seemed incredibly unreliable.
Is this the method Yang Zhen mentioned, the one that isn't usually used?
Do all the people in their village do things this way?
Yang Zhen completely ignored the four people's expressions and walked towards the direction the wooden stick was pointing.
Since all the roads look the same, it doesn't matter which one you take.
Moreover, this method is not without scientific basis; at least one expert has confirmed that this method can make one feel more at ease.
Yang Zhen felt very at ease now, as if this was the right path, which almost convinced Gong Sanhe and the others.
Gong Sanhe and Death Shadow exchanged a glance, both looking bewildered. In that brief moment of hesitation, Yang Zhen had already stepped onto the chosen path.
"Young friend Yang, wait for me!" Gong Sanhe hurriedly chased after him.
Although they didn't know the basis for Yang Zhen's almost bizarre methods, Gong Sanhe had come to understand along the way that they should just follow Yang Zhen to broaden their horizons. Anyway, this kid Yang Zhen had all sorts of tricks up his sleeve, and they were endless, always shocking people to the point of questioning their existence.
Look at that old guy, Death Shadow. Although he looked completely bewildered, he didn't suspect a thing and immediately followed after him like a loyal and dutiful lackey.
Gong Sanhe pursed his lips and glanced at Ding Chun and Wen Yuning, both of whom looked equally bewildered.
The road was longer than Yang Zhen had imagined, and it was winding and twisting, with no idea where it led.
They walked for an unknown amount of time. Not to mention Gong Sanhe and the others, even Yang Zhen was starting to curse. Suddenly, a faint sound came from not far ahead, like something crying or laughing. Yang Zhen was so frightened that his hair stood on end.
"Damn it, what the hell is that?"
Gong Sanhe and Death Shadow also looked terrified, exchanging glances and shaking their heads in unison.
