"Something's happened in the Western Region!"
Upon hearing Yun La's words, both Mo Shuiyan and Jin Heng's expressions changed simultaneously.
Incidents happen every day in the Western Region, big and small, but anything that involves the Four Heaven-Favored Person Heaven-Favored Person be related to the search for them, which means it's related to the Third Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool Holy Land.
Mo Shuiyan looked at Yun La with a serious expression and asked, "What happened?"
Yun La's expression was somewhat strange. He glanced at Yang Zhen, who was still squatting on the ground drawing circles, and said, "Two extraordinary talents have emerged in the Southern Frontier. They have been favored by Heaven and have glimpsed the Great Dao. They have now been introduced to Jade Pool Jade Pool Holy Land and are said to be very likely to become the representatives of this Heaven-Favored Person."
really!
A hint of curiosity flashed across Mo Shuiyan's face, and she exclaimed in surprise, "To have glimpsed the Great Dao and received the favor of Heaven, to be fortunate enough to be introduced into the Jade Pool, just how high are the talents of these two?"
Yun La gave a wry smile and said, "I don't know how high their talent is yet, but I've heard that both of them have mastered the basics and refined nine Heavenly Radiance, breaking a record that has stood for ten thousand years."
"Nine Heavenly Radiance?" A hint of disdain flashed across Mo Shuiyan's face as she said somewhat unwillingly, "What are nine Heavenly Radiance Heavenly Radiance? Let alone nine, even nineteen Heavenly Radiance are nothing in front of Yang Zhen. Why were they led into the Jade Pool so early? Why didn't the Jade Pool wait for us to return?"
Yun La was stunned, glanced at Yang Zhen with a wry smile, clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist prayer, then shook his head and said, "Indeed, my worries have come true. The Nine Heavenly Radiance are indeed insignificant to Brother Yang, but Yang Zhen... In the entire Cultivation World over the past 20,000 years, there has never been a Heaven-Favored Person as Yang Zhen. I did mention Brother Yang's situation to the person in charge of the Jade Pool Holy Land, but..."
"But what?" Mo Shuiyan's eyes widened. "Does the person in charge of Jade Pool Holy Land dare to engage in favoritism and corruption? If the Third Holy Maiden find out about this, wouldn't they be executed?"
Yun La shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Whether it will cost them their lives, I don't know. Actually, when I told the person in charge of Jade Pool Holy Land about Brother Yang cultivating twenty Heavenly Radiance and causing strange phenomena in the heavens and earth, I was... I was..."
"Ugh, what?" Jin Heng said impatiently, "Senior Brother Yun La, just say what you have to say. You weren't always so indecisive."
Mo Shuiyan nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, if they didn't dare to engage in favoritism, then why didn't they wait for us to return? And why did you come back?"
Yun La sighed, gave Yang Zhen a strange look, and said, "Alright, then I'll be frank. When I told Jade Pool Holy Land about this, I was ridiculed and mocked by several people from Southern Frontier. They were extremely humiliating, which infuriated me."
"What?" Mo Shuiyan's eyes widened, and she said angrily, "This is outrageous! They actually don't believe me?"
"Of course they don't believe it. Not to mention them, even this humble monk couldn't believe it along the way that there could be someone in this world who could cultivate twenty Heavenly Radiance from two minor techniques."
Mo Shuiyan said in a deep voice, "Not only did they not believe you, they also ridiculed you, so you rushed back. Did you want us to go back immediately?"
Yun La nodded, gritting his teeth as he said, "Those bastards, I'll never forget their faces. Now that Brother Yang has indeed cultivated twenty Heavenly Radiance, they have no choice but to believe it. When we return this time, I must see the expressions on their faces with my own eyes. Only then can my anger be extinguished."
Mo Shuiyan and Jin Heng exchanged a glance, both looking expectant, and said, "Then what are we waiting for? I'm also curious to see their expressions after they see Yang Zhen."
Yun La nodded and said, "There's no time to lose. Now that this matter is settled, let's hurry back so that these people don't get the first prize."
The top spot isn't something anyone can just grab, nor can it be grabbed whenever they want. If you try to grab it without the ability, it's a joke; if you have the ability but it's already gone, it's a tragedy.
Clearly, Yun La and the others took this matter very seriously; otherwise, Yun La wouldn't have traveled such a long distance for five days and then debated with others for a while.
As he spoke, Yun La seemed impatient and turned to walk back. Suddenly, he turned back and looked at Wu Tao, saying, " Wu Tao's aura is a bit strange. What is she doing? Could it be... an epiphany?"
Before anyone could answer, Yun La looked up at the sky and exclaimed, "This shouldn't be happening! This place is very barren, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is thin. There's practically no opportunity for enlightenment here. What exactly happened to Wu Tao?"
What exactly happened?
Hearing Yun La's words, Mo Shuiyan and Jin Heng exchanged a glance. Mo Shuiyan pouted and looked at Yang Zhen, saying, "Senior Brother Yun La is right. This place indeed lacks the opportunity for enlightenment, but there is one here who can... lead to enlightenment!"
"A person who grants enlightenment?" Yun La's expression changed, and he looked around at everyone in surprise, muttering to himself, "What does 'a person who grants enlightenment' mean? Hmm, what is Brother Yang doing? Researching new array inscriptions?"
Upon hearing Yun La's words, Mo Shuiyan became even more furious.
Wu Tao clearly Dao Entry through Yang Zhen's teachings. Under such circumstances, anyone else would be overjoyed, since it concerns their own charisma and the inheritance of the Dao Intent.
If someone were to Dao Entry Daoism by such a charming and adorable girl, they could brag about it for a lifetime.
Yang Zhen, on the other hand, simply shut herself off, seemingly very unwilling.
"That bastard," Yang Zhen Mo Shuiyan thought to herself, "Is Wu Tao not pretty or cute enough, or is he just looking down on her because of her strength? She's acting like she's lost all will to live."
If we're being honest, it should be Wu Tao who should be showing that expression. After all, the idea of someone Dao Entry the Dao is too absurd. Although it can improve according to the cultivation level of the person being Dao Entry, and the improvement is very simple and rapid, who knows if the person Dao Entry Dao Entry might die the next day?
If that's the case, Wu Tao will have nowhere to even cry.
When Yun La learned what had happened from Mo Shuiyan and Jin Heng, the expression on his face was as complex as if he were Star Calculation Technique.
Yun La's expression shifted between ecstatic joy and terribly worried. He hesitated, looking at Wu Tao as if he wanted to say something, but finally gave a bitter smile and said, "Although I don't know why this happened, since it has already occurred, we can only leave it to fate."
At this point, Yun La looked at Wu Tao with a wry smile, shaking his head and saying, " Wu Tao is too willful. It's one thing to not cultivate for five days, and it's good that her realm has improved, but she doesn't need to abandon her own path and Dao Entry Brother Yang's path. What if Brother Yang..."
"Senior Brother Yun La!" Mo Shuiyan hurriedly interrupted Yun La, shaking her head to signal him not to continue.
Yun La's expression froze, and he sighed, saying, "I wonder if this is a good thing or a bad thing for Wu Tao!"
"It's a good thing!" Jin Heng suddenly said, his face solemn.
Yun La was taken aback, and looked at Jin Heng in surprise, asking, "How are you sure?"
Jin Heng opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then said with his neck tilted to the side, "I... I just know!"
Yun La smiled and said, "Alright, you all have to walk your own paths in the end. Take care!"
Mo Shuiyan and Jin Heng both looked rather grim, glancing at Wu Tao with concern.
Just then, Wu Tao moved. Looking up at the sky, her aura surged forth in a way that terrified everyone.
Upon seeing Yun La was the first to change his expression, and hurriedly tried to rush forward, but his expression changed again, and he said in horror, " The Great Origin Dao Ascension, how is this possible!"
