No one could have imagined that there would be such a continuous primeval mountain range among the High Antiquity Ruins, where everything seemed to be the beginning of heaven and earth, which was mesmerizing.
Any cultivator would find it impossible to resist the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the celestial palace-like, Saint Realm environment of such a place. Yang Zhen even considered establishing his own sect here and spending his entire life there.
Wherever the world exists in its original state, there are usually treasures of heaven and earth. People with great fortune can even comprehend the ultimate principles of heaven and earth from them. This is the environment closest to the Great Dao and has never been destroyed by human beings.
Seeing a group of people rushing forward with strange howls, Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat also let out a strange cry and rushed forward after them.
Death Shadow and Gong Sanhe exchanged a glance, both seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.
"Damn it, I love it here. Anyway, I can't go back to the Mara Sect, so I've decided that I'll cultivate here from now on and live a carefree life. Isn't that wonderful?"
Death Shadow laughed heartily, clearly delighted with this primeval mountain. Even Gong Sanhe was thoroughly enjoying himself, saying to Death Shadow, "You old fellow, you know how to pick a spot. Remember to save a place for me nearby. When I tire of the mortal world, I'll come here with you and live a life of leisure."
Upon hearing this, Ding Chun and Wen Yuning felt a pang of unease. They exchanged glances and couldn't help but offer wry smiles.
Rather than spending their lives alone in a beautiful place, the younger generation of cultivators prefers to travel the world with their swords, believing that only in this way can they better understand the profound principles of heaven and earth and seek the path to immortality that countless people have followed in their footsteps.
The thousands of cultivators scattered once they entered the mountains. In such a vast, continuous mountain range, no one was willing to travel with the group, and they forgot all the potential dangers.
Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue quietly left the group with the Shameless Cat. Yang Zhen had no interest in the Heaven and Earth Shackles, no matter where they were, but he was interested in exploring this primeval mountain range.
The Shameless Cat cackled, running wild like a little tiger cub that had entered the mountains, its movements fluid and unpretentious.
The richness of the True Essence of heaven and earth is what makes cultivators feel most relaxed. Yang Zhen held Hua Youyue's hand and walked slowly through the mountains and forests. He hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time.
Not long after, an exasperated voice came from behind them. "Damn it, you old bastard, you're shameless! Young Master Yang Zhen finally gets to spend time with his sweetheart, and you have to come and disturb them!"
The voice of the Death Shadow came. "What do you know, you old geezer? My eyes have never misjudged anyone. In such a vast mountain range, finding a Great Restriction of Heaven and Earth is not so easy. Yang Zhen is a boy with great fortune. Follow him, and we will definitely find the Great Restriction of Heaven and Earth."
"What if we can't find it?" Gong Sanhe snorted coldly, clearly somewhat unwilling and embarrassed.
The Death Shadow chuckled and said, "If you can't find it, tell me what to gnaw on, and I'll gnaw on it."
"You said it yourself. When I tell you to chew on rocks, you'll have to get down and start chewing without saying a word."
"Hmph, what if we find it?"
"Then I'll just kneel down and start gnawing!"
Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue exchanged a glance, then turned and glared at the two old men, saying, "Alright, you two old rascals, stop pretending. You still have a lot to learn about playing mind games in front of this Sage of Saunter."
Death Shadow and Gong Sanhe were taken aback. Death Shadow, who had the thicker skin, laughed loudly and stepped forward, saying, "I knew it! Kid Yang isn't such a petty person."
"That's because young friend Yang Zhen is magnanimous by nature, unlike you, an old man with a petty mind."
"Alright!" Yang Zhen waved his hand, looking at the two old guys with a half-smile, and said, "You can follow if you want, but it seems this ' Sage of Saunter' is going to disappoint you. This ' Sage of Saunter' will not seek out the Heaven and Earth Shackles. Whoever wants to go can go. So... Senior Death Shadow, I'm waiting for you to gnaw on rocks."
Gong Sanhe laughed heartily, then suddenly realized what he'd said and looked at Yang Zhen with a bewildered expression, asking, "What did you say? You're not going to search for the Heaven and Earth Shackles...?"
Upon hearing the name " Heaven and Earth Shackles," Gong Sanhe and Death Shadow were both taken aback. They exchanged a glance, then burst into laughter, their eyes filled with excitement.
The Death Shadow looked smug and said to Gong Sanhe, "What did I tell you? The Heaven and Earth Shackles. So there really is a Heaven and Earth Shackles in the center of this High Antiquity Ruins. All your holy lands have passed down their knowledge for so many years, yet you don't know as much as a mere boy."
Ignoring Death Shadow's sarcasm, Gong Sanhe approached Yang Zhen and asked excitedly, "Kid, what you just said is true, this place really is a Heaven and Earth Shackles?"
Seeing the nervous look on Gong Sanhe's face, Yang Zhen was taken aback. After exchanging a glance with Hua Youyue for a moment, he hesitated before saying, "It's true that there's Heaven and Earth Shackles in this place, but Senior Gong, do you really need to be so agitated?"
Gong Sanhe laughed heartily and said, "As for it, as for it, young friend Yang, have you ever heard a legend?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback and looked at the cheeky Shameless Cat, Shameless Cat also looked over with a blank expression, clearly having never heard of any such legend.
Gong Sanhe and Death Shadow exchanged glances. Death Shadow curled his lip and said, "You tell me."
Faced with the curious gazes of Yang Zhen and the other two, Gong Sanhe took a deep breath and explained, "Legend has it that there are five Heaven and Earth Shackles. They are the most mysterious secrets of High Antiquity times. No one knows how the Heaven and Earth Shackles Heaven and Earth Shackles about, nor do they know where they are. It is only rumored that if all five Heaven and Earth Shackles are opened, the entire Cultivation World will undergo earth-shattering changes."
"What changes?" The Shameless Cat, unusually serious, stared at Gong Sanhe and asked.
Yang Zhen was completely dumbfounded. He had heard of the Heaven and Earth Shackles, a Great Restriction of Heaven and Earth that was said to have been sealed by some Great Emperor in High Antiquity times.
But when it comes to rumors, if one person tells the truth, but two or three people pass it on, different versions will inevitably emerge.
Who knows if the version Yang Zhen heard was true? Anyway, Gong Sanhe spoke with great conviction, insisting that there were five Heaven and Earth Shackles in total, which was clearer than what Yang Zhen knew.
Gong Sanhe's eyes gleamed with excitement. He looked around at everyone before saying, slowly and deliberately, "Legend has it that when the five Heaven and Earth Shackles are broken, the Cultivation World will usher in a true... heaven and earth!"
What the heck?
Yang Zhen was stunned, and asked with a bewildered look, "You mean, this world is fake?"
At the same time, Yang Zhen skipped a beat. The Shameless Cat had just mentioned that in High Antiquity times, it was a place where Myriad Races coexisted. That Shameless Cat rascal should be considered a Demon Race, and the Golden Crow was also a Demon Race. Besides these two, Yang Zhen had never seen any other Demon Race, including the Evil Shadow Black Taotie. Were there any other Demon Race in the world?
Those Shanggen Secret Clan are exceptionally shrouded in mystery. Besides the races that have appeared so far, where have the other races from the ' Myriad Races ' gone?
Seriously, this is getting more and more fun; it's the kind of game where you can accidentally kill everyone!
