Damn it, this is absolutely insane.
Yang Zhen stared blankly at the circles of 'ghosts' in front of him, swallowing hard.
When others don't believe lies, they say, "You're fucking lying to ghosts," but Yang Zhen is different; he's genuinely lying to ghosts.
The aged voice continued with a puzzled expression, "Young human friend, you just said that you have a Demon Race brother who can shake the heavens and the earth with a mere gesture. Is that true?"
Upon hearing this, the breathing around them became noticeably heavier; who knows why these ghosts were making breathing sounds?
Yang Zhen nodded blankly and said, "Yes, every word is true. If there is even half a lie, may this sky full of thunderbolts have no choice but to blast this Sage of Saunter to death!"
hiss!
A collective gasp rippled through the air, and the aged voice hurriedly asked, "But if I'm not mistaken, the world outside is no longer capable of supporting such an unprecedentedly powerful being. Your brother, was he a being from 30,000 years ago?"
As soon as he said this, the surroundings became eerily cold, and Yang Zhen could even feel countless unfriendly eyes staring at Yang Zhen.
Instead of being afraid, Yang Zhen had a sudden thought. Damn it, this old guy clearly knows a lot of things, even the fact that heaven and earth couldn't withstand the Niu Bi Yang Zhen made. Maybe he can tell you what happened in heaven and earth.
He's already a ghost, so why would he be afraid of divine retribution?
Yang Zhen felt a little uncomfortable under the stares of thousands of eyes, so he shifted his body and said, "It's more than 30,000 years. My brother doesn't even remember how many years he's lived. His memories are only fragmented and incomplete. By the way, the method to enter the Tomb of Departed Souls was told to me personally by my brother."
"It's still alive?" the old man exclaimed in surprise, even the Ghost Shadow trembled, clearly very excited. He leaned close to Yang Zhen and said, "Young human friend, where is your Demon Race brother now? Could you please bring him here?"
Yang Zhen curled his lip. Who knows how long you old folks' sanity can hold out? What if you suddenly go crazy again? Who can withstand that?
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen took a deep breath and said, "Senior Demon Race, our time is running out. Outside, humans and the Beiqi Clan are still fighting, with many dead and wounded. You have only just regained some of your intelligence, so why don't you quickly leave some last words? Don't worry, this Sage of Saunter is absolutely trustworthy and won't eavesdrop on your last words. Just tell Que'er."
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "That's fine. The reason we were able to awaken and end these ten thousand years of being in a daze is all thanks to you, young friend, for drawing upon the righteous energy of Heavenly Punishment. However, this is also our last vestige of consciousness. After this, we will disappear from the world."
With a worried expression, Que'er asked, "Are our ancestors unable to enter the Samsara?"
The old man laughed heartily and said, "There is a righteous Samsara in the human Heavenly Dao, and the cycle of karma is inevitable. We did not do good in our lives, and after death we will be tormented by the Tomb of Departed Souls for ten thousand years. How can we possibly enter the Samsara? However, we risked our lives and managed to save one of them. Guo Hu, come here!"
" Guo Hu?" Que'er's eyes widened suddenly, and she said in disbelief, "Ancestor?"
A wisp of a shadow approached, smiling, and said, "Little Que'er, it's only been a short time, and you've grown so much. I remember, it was I who personally prepared your birth gift."
"Ancestor!" Upon hearing this, Que'er burst into tears and lunged towards the Yin Shadow figure, only to miss and crash directly into Yang Zhen.
In just a moment, Yang Zhen's clothes were soaked through.
Yang Zhen hurriedly pushed the little demoness away, marveling that it wasn't just human women who were made of water, but demonesses as well.
Que'er stood to the side, sobbing incessantly. Guo Hu said with a grave expression, "Ancestor, what's going on here...?"
The first old man smiled and said, "We've lived for tens of thousands of years, we've lived enough. Even if we can't enter the Samsara, we're still much better off than others. Later, we'll use a secret technique of the Beiqi Clan to solidify your soul. In this way, your soul will be immortal. After you go out with Que'er, take good care of your descendants. From now on, there will be no need for the Tomb of Departed Souls to exist."
Upon hearing this, Guo Hu was stunned, but Que'er smiled broadly, tears streaming down her face. She nodded hurriedly and looked at Yang Zhen with a look of surprise and delight.
It must be said that the secret techniques of the Beiqi Clan are indeed unique. They can stabilize even souls that have been refined for more than 20 years. Although they paid for this by sacrificing several souls, it is still a miracle.
Yang Zhen watched in stunned silence. "Damn it," he thought, "Cultivating such a heaven-defying technique, it's no wonder you're destined to be condemned by Heaven and Earth Rejection."
Before dying, the old man asked Yang Zhen with curiosity, "Young friend, I will never have the chance to meet that great power of my Demon Race in this life. I wonder if you could tell me the name of your brother? I can die in peace then."
Yang Zhen took a deep breath. Death is the greatest tragedy; only a peaceful burial brings peace. Yang Zhen had no intention of continuing to deceive this pitiful old man, and said in a deep voice, "My brother's name is... ' Shameless Cat '!"
"So it was a cat demon, and it actually managed to cultivate to such a world-shaking level!"
The old man's voice faded away, and his figure gradually disappeared as well. Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and clicked his tongue.
Damn it, I just can't connect that Shameless Cat with that Niu Bi big shot, yet these old guys seem to believe it without a doubt. This is a huge offense!
After Guo Hu's soul solidified, his figure could be vaguely discerned; he was a very energetic old man.
Que'er followed behind Guo Hu with a joyful expression. Seeing that the Land of the Dead was about to be destroyed, she said to Yang Zhen, "Young friend Yang, you've come here for the Heart of Heaven and Earth, haven't you?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback. "What is the Heart of Heaven and Earth? This Sage of Saunter came here to save Que'er. What Heart of Heaven and Earth? Nothing is more important than preventing the eruption of the Tomb of Departed Souls, which would cause widespread devastation and suffering to all living beings."
Guo Hu chuckled as he looked at Yang Zhen and said, "Originally, this old man could have given young friend Yang some pointers."
"Oh, senior, please speak freely. I will remember everything you say and never forget it. My mother always said, 'Those who don't listen to their elders will suffer the consequences,' so I always listen to my elders. Please, please..."
Guo Hu was stunned. He and Que'er looked at each other in bewilderment. Que'er kept giggling. She had made a little fox laugh like a little hen.
In this way, Yang Zhen learned the key points to note when refining the Heart of Heaven and Earth, but he was somewhat dumbfounded after listening to them.
Damn it, whether he heard it from that Shameless Cat, the little fox Que'er, or even from Guo Hu, the more Yang Zhen pondered it, the more he felt that the Heart of Heaven and Earth was actually more like a spoiled brat.
Yang Zhen had plenty of ways to deal with these brats. The simplest and most direct way was to give them a good spanking. Once they were scared, they would avoid him and wouldn't dare to speak loudly to him in the future.
Finally, Guo Hu took a deep breath and said to Yang Zhen, "Young friend Yang, I cannot express my gratitude enough. As long as my soul remains, you will be the most honored benefactor of my Beiqi Clan Beiqi Clan."
Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "It's not that serious, I just did it on a whim."
Guo Hu chuckled and said, "Oh, right, one last thing about the Heart of Heaven and Earth Heart of Heaven and Earth is that it contains the Great Dao, so only those who Dao Entry the Dao can successfully refine it."
Yang Zhen was stunned upon hearing this. Damn it, no one had told him this before.
But none of that matters. With the Qi of One Purity already in his arms, Dao Entry is just a matter of time.
Why worry about all that? What arrogant little brat, what the Heart of Heaven and Earth, just go for it.
