When Yang Zhen asked if there was background music, the Shameless Cat hadn't reacted yet. He then walked up to Yang Zhen with a bewildered look and asked with a strange expression, "Kid, have you really mastered the basics?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback and looked at the Shameless Cat with surprise. After seeing the expression on the Shameless Cat's face, he immediately felt that this matter was not simple.
That Shameless Cat must have heard of this little trick that doesn't even have a name, but it didn't think of it before. It only guessed it after hearing Yang Zhen and Yun La's brief discussion. So, it not only knows about it, but it's also very familiar with it.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen asked curiously, "Is there a problem?"
The Shameless Cat clicked its tongue in amazement, looking at Yang Zhen with utter Celestial Person, and said, "Boy, if you really master this skill in such a short time, I'll listen to you in everything from now on. Whatever you say goes. If you tell me to eat, I'll eat, whether it's shit or rice. If you don't tell me to eat, I won't eat, no matter how delicious it is!"
Yang Zhen was completely dumbfounded, staring at the Shameless Cat with a look of surprise and uncertainty. He widened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Damn it, you bastard, you really do know this little trick. Tell this Sage of Saunter, what's going on? And what are the Third Holy Maiden of Jade Pool up to?"
Everyone stared at the Shameless Cat in astonishment. Even Yun La and the others looked on with disbelief and curiosity, no longer in a hurry to leave, but waiting for the Shameless Cat to continue.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Shameless Cat shook its head and swaggered onto the Little Dao Addict's shoulder, saying, "Kid, start cultivating first. I'll explain this to you later. Just practice. The more thoroughly you understand it the first time, the better. It won't do you any harm; in fact, it will bring you benefits you can't even imagine."
Alright!
Upon hearing that there would only be benefits, Yang Zhen turned to Yun La and said, "Brother Yun La, how about I practice right here?"
"Y-yes!" Yun La answered subconsciously, taking a deep look at the Shameless Cat on Little Dao Addict's shoulder, and then his expression turned strangely when he looked at Yang Zhen.
Everyone was speculating about the origins of the Shameless Cat. All the past events indicated that the Shameless Cat must have a great background. However, no one could guess that such a cat existed in the entire legend of the Cultivation World.
Now, Yun La and Yang Zhen were merely casually mentioning the characteristics of the minor techniques, and the Shameless Cat already knows?
This... is a little scary!
Not only Yun La, but the Little Witch and Wu Tao were also taken aback, looking at the Shameless Cat in surprise. Even the most inconspicuous little fat boy opened his eyes.
Yes, he opened his eyes. His eyes were so small that they were now just a slit open, probably from staring.
Others can glare with eyes the size of a bull's, but when he glares, his eyes can only be narrowed into slits.
The Shameless Cat lazily nestled on Little Dao Addict's shoulder, seemingly indifferent to the situation, merely squinting at Yang Zhen while ignoring the gazes of others around them.
Seeing this, Yang Zhen was about to begin his cultivation when Song Chong suddenly sneered and said, " Yang Zhen, do you think this is interesting?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen, who was about to begin his cultivation, was startled and asked with a surprised expression, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Song Chong snorted coldly, his expression turning gloomy as he said, "We've all practiced this minor method before, and we know how difficult it is. We also know how profound and mysterious it is. Among the nine of us, even Senior Brother Yun La, who is the fastest at practicing this method, took almost a day to even get the basics down. Do you really think you have a higher level of comprehension than Senior Brother Yun La?"
"Yes, although your talent is not bad, it's no fun to play tricks on people like this. I don't think your comprehension is higher than Senior Brother Yun La's!"
Yang Zhen glanced at the two people who were speaking. These two people should be Heaven-Favored Person from the Ancient Origin Sacred Land and the Gujin Clan. He never expected that these two Ancient Clan would have such a profound foundation.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen said seriously, "Whether you believe it or not, I am who I am. I am not something that exists only if you believe it and doesn't exist if you don't. Also, with your intelligence, this Sage of Saunter advises you to buy some insurance before you go to the Western Region!"
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, Song Chong and the young man surnamed Wang turned ashen-faced. Just as they were about to reprimand him, they suddenly saw Yun La's face show a look of shock, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Yang Zhen.
Even the usually aloof Little Witch glanced at Yang Zhen with some surprise.
Song Chong and the young man surnamed Wang were unaware of what had happened. How could their understanding of the Daoist verses compare to that of the prodigies here?
I am who I am, not someone you can dictate to me. Yang Zhen's level of understanding is clearly higher than that of the other five people from North Isle.
Yun La and the Little Witch exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
Especially Yun La, whose eyes flashed with admiration, was about to speak when a burst of True Essence suddenly erupted from Yang Zhen's body, and a shimmering light appeared beside Yang Zhen.
"A beam of light!" Song Chong's face froze, then his expression changed drastically as if he had swallowed a dead rat. He shook his head and said, "No, this is impossible. You've practiced this kind of minor technique before?"
This is almost the most reasonable explanation. Among the nine people present, everyone had practiced this method. That simple yet extremely awkward feeling was like knowing that the exit was ahead, but the whole way was a maze filled with fog. The feeling of not being able to find the way no matter what was done was almost enough to drive people crazy.
Only by calming one's mind, holding one's breath and concentrating, then letting one's spirit wander beyond the mundane world, and finally entering another transcendent realm, can one barely find the cultivation method of this minor technique and stumble along the way to enter the gate.
This process sounds simple, but it's incredibly difficult to do. No, even climbing to the sky wouldn't be this awkward. It's so awkward that it makes you want to scratch your head and pull your hair out.
Unless absolutely necessary, none of the nine people present wanted to continue cultivating this thing; it was too unpleasant.
But Yang Zhen mastered a simple technique that others struggled to grasp for at least a whole day, in just a few breaths?
It's not just that he's entered the realm, it's that he's successfully cultivated it! Holy crap, he's cultivated a Heavenly Radiance so quickly! I've never even heard of such a thing, let alone seen it with my own eyes. This... is simply impossible!
How did Yang Zhen switch between so many states in such a short time?
Holding one's breath and concentrating is simple; almost all cultivators need to do this when practicing any Cultivation Method. But what happens afterward?
The nine Heaven-Favored Person all stared at Yang Zhen in utter bewilderment. The others, who had never been exposed to minor techniques, began to murmur amongst themselves upon seeing that Yang Zhen had cultivated the Heavenly Radiance technique so quickly.
"He's already mastered it? It was described as so mysterious, requiring three days to even begin, yet Yang Zhen mastered it in an instant?"
"Is the selection process for those Heaven-Favored Person reliable? With such a large group of people selecting those Heaven-Favored Person, won't the truly favored ones be overlooked?"
"Hmm, speaking of which, I've always had some talent; perhaps I could succeed if I give it a try."
"Shut up, you should break through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm first."
"Damn it, you look down on those in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, huh? Yang Zhen was already going head-to-head with those in the Spirit Transformation Realm when he was in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm."
"That's Yang Zhen... But I suddenly feel that maybe we can succeed too."
Hearing the surrounding chatter, Yun La and the others' lips began to twitch uncontrollably.
These idiots, do they really think just anyone can master minor techniques? Haven't you seen those who went crazy the moment they came into contact with them?
Yun La's State of Mind was nearly shattered by Yang Zhen. He clasped his hands together and kept chanting softly.
At that moment, something astonishing happened.
Buzz!
A soft sound rang out, and five more rays of Heavenly Radiance emanated from Yang Zhen's body!
Yun La's eyes bulged out instantly; he no longer cared about his State of Mind and cried out, "Impossible!"
That loud yell startled Wu Tao and the other two people beside her, making them tremble.
Beep... Beep my god, is this still the same Senior Brother Yun La remained unfazed even when a giant peak collapsed right in front of him?
This persona... is completely ruined!
