Yang Zhen stared blankly at Duan Sihai walking ahead. This guy must know something, but neither the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land nor the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain had explicitly stated it.
Those who came to participate in the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain Grand Assembly only knew that the Great Saint were going to the center of the High Antiquity Ruins to break some kind of restriction.
As for what's inside the restriction, most people don't care. They figure if there's a restriction, there must be something good inside. And who cares what that good thing is?
Looking at the excited crowd, Yang Zhen felt a sense of absurdity.
No wonder people always say that the world will change; it turns out that this most bizarre variable actually contains a predetermined destiny.
If Yang Zhen hadn't broken the Heaven and Earth Shackles of the East Sea, the secret Secret Clan of the North Isle wouldn't have emerged. If Yang Zhen hadn't come to the North Isle, it wouldn't have been so easy for the Great Saint to see the Heaven and Earth Shackles of the North Isle.
The Unseen seemed as if a giant hand was manipulating Yang Zhen's destiny, leading him step by step towards this direction. If Yang Zhen could directly or indirectly destroy this Heaven and Earth Shackles, then Yang Zhen would have already destroyed two Heaven and Earth Shackles.
Yang Zhen was completely baffled as to what kind of mess the world would become.
Only then did Yang Zhen suddenly realize that even if he wanted to stop, it was too late.
This feeling is really a bit ridiculous.
"This is interesting. This Sage of Saunter wants to see what the hell is going on."
Yang Zhen suddenly realized that the concept of destiny was quite interesting, but if there was a predetermined the Unseen, then that was a bit too terrifying.
At first, Yang Zhen didn't intend to touch this Heaven and Earth Shackles of Heaven and Earth Shackles, but then he thought that perhaps the very thought of not touching it was part of the variables, so he changed his mind.
Yang Zhen's shout startled everyone around. Some people almost stumbled and fell, turning around to look at Yang Zhen with blank expressions.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yang Zhen casually took out a piece of paper, tore it in half, wrote something on each half, then crumpled it into two balls and handed them to Hua Youyue, saying, "Little girl, keep these two balls safe. When I ask you for them, just give me one of them."
Hua Youyue was stunned, clearly not understanding what Yang Zhen to do, but she didn't ask anything. She took the two crumpled pieces of paper, put them away, and nodded, saying, "Okay!"
The Shameless Cat stared at Yang Zhen with a bewildered expression, opened its mouth, and said, "What are you doing?"
Yang Zhen chuckled, strode forward, and said with a smirk, "There's a saying in our village that you haven't heard before. Today, this Sage of Saunter will tell you. Listen carefully."
The Shameless Cat's eyes lit up, and it asked with great interest, "What did you say?"
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, then turned to the Shameless Cat and winked, saying, "As long as this Sage of Saunter Sage of Saunter fast enough, the heavens can't catch up with him."
The Shameless Cat paused, then curled its lip and said, "Damn it, I love your serious-sounding nonsense."
When Yang Zhen took his first step off the stone bridge, his mind was suddenly jolted, and he looked at the terrifying misty aura in mid-air with a surprised and uncertain expression.
The atmosphere here wasn't much different from the other side of the bridge, but Yang Zhen could sense that this place was like a world of its own, different from the outside world.
Hua Youyue's expression also changed, and she exclaimed, "This feeling... it's somewhat familiar."
Yang Zhen quickly turned around and asked, "What's it like? Is there anything strange about this place?"
Hua Youyue shook her head, seemingly unsure, while the Shameless Cat let out a strange cry and said, "This place is indeed eerie."
Yang Zhen picked up the Shameless Cat and asked, "How is it Divergent Method?"
The Shameless Cat stretched out its paw and pointed to the air, gesturing for Yang Zhen to look for himself.
Yang Zhen looked up and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Blood Moon!
Hanging in mid-air was a blood moon, which looked extremely eerie. No wonder it exuded a chilling aura.
But it's daytime right now.
A blood moon appearing in broad daylight? What kind of crazy thing is this?
Yang Zhen looked up and around, but couldn't see the sun. Did that mean all the light in this godforsaken place was from the blood moon?
But why isn't it blood red?
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, looked up at the Shameless Cat with a bewildered expression, and asked with suspicion, "What's going on? What kind of place is this?"
The Shameless Cat looked around and, seeing that everyone else was focused on their surroundings and ignoring them, approached Yang Zhen and said, "Damn it, I remember now. This place was once an High Antiquity battlefield where several Great Emperor fought, shattering heaven and earth. It's a place where the Principle are incomplete."
Where are the Principle imperfect?
Hearing what the Shameless Cat said, Yang Zhen was genuinely surprised. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the 6.4 billion-year evolutionary process on the Blue Planet.
For a very long time, the Blue Planet was in a state of imperfect Principle, with various natural disasters changing the world. It wasn't until about 150 million years ago that the environment on the Blue Planet gradually stabilized.
Principle are imperfect, then as the Shameless Cat said, people will die.
"Wait, you just said that several Great Emperor fought here in this High Antiquity battlefield. Why did they fight here?"
What are Great Emperor? They are beings whose every move can destroy the heavens and the earth, whose every breath can cause the world to tremble. For such a group of people to fight here and not destroy the entire North Isle is a stroke of good fortune amidst misfortune.
These people are just bored and have nothing better to do. Don't they know that if they make a move, the world will be plunged into disaster?
"How would I know why they're fighting here!" The Shameless Cat scoffed. "I wouldn't even dare to watch a battle at that level, and besides, this isn't something that happened in my time."
Yang Zhen suddenly realized, and at the same time, his heart skipped a beat. He said, "You just said that there is a Heaven and Earth Shackles in this place. Could it be that the Heaven and Earth Shackles is related to these Great Emperor?"
If this Heaven and Earth Shackles and earth is related to the Great Emperor, then things are about to get interesting. Could it be that beneath this Heaven and Earth Shackles lies the seal of one or more Great Emperor Great Emperor?
The Shameless Cat had obviously thought of this problem too; its eyes widened as it waited, and it turned to walk back.
Yang Zhen yanked the Shameless Cat back, glaring at it and saying, "Damn it, you're trying to run away again?"
Escape is out of the question. That Shameless Cat has clearly been remembering a lot of things lately. How could Yang Zhen possibly let it escape now?
Knowing he couldn't escape from Yang Zhen, the Shameless Cat didn't struggle. He curled his lip and said, "Kid, this place is extraordinary. It might really change the current state of the world."
Yang Zhen was about to speak when the Shameless Cat interrupted him, staring at Yang Zhen and saying, "Do you know what kind of environment your generation is like?"
"What kind of environment?" Yang Zhen was completely baffled by the Shameless Cat's question.
The Shameless Cat cackled and looked at Yang Zhen, saying, "The environment you are in is a process of the reorganization of heaven and earth. There is no danger for you at all during this process. Why not just cultivate properly? Why do you have to pursue some ancient secrets and unravel some Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth? There are some things you have never experienced."
At this point, the Shameless Cat took a deep breath, squinted at the blood moon in the sky, and said, "Back then, Myriad Races stood side by side, constantly fighting each other. If that kind of environment were to return, the entire Cultivation World would be shrouded in blood and death."
Yang Zhen skipped a beat, and he slapped the Shameless Cat, saying irritably, "Stop pretending, you bastard. You talk like you've been through this yourself."
"Huh?" The Shameless Cat dodged Yang Zhen's slap and said with a surprised look, "How did you know I was talking nonsense?"
Just then, a cheer erupted. Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat exchanged bewildered glances, and following the crowd's gaze, they were immediately taken aback.
As the mist gradually dissipated, a continuous mountain range appeared before everyone. This mountain range seemed to have existed in the past, and the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth made Yang Zhen feel as if he were intoxicated by the spiritual energy.
"Damn it!" Yang Zhen's eyes widened in disbelief. "This place... is it really the land that was once destroyed?"
