A place with beautiful mountains and clear waters is full of vitality. The reason why Jade Pool Holy Land is known as the first holy land in the Western Region is not because it has beautiful mountains and clear waters and a fairy-like atmosphere, but because it has a long-lasting holy heritage.
Some say that Jade Pool Holy Land is the most successful sect in the Western Region in avoiding the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, and some even say that Jade Pool Holy Land suffered no losses at all during the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth.
How many people in the Jade Pool Holy Land truly understand the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth? No one knows, nor do they know whether the Jade Pool Holy Land suffered any significant losses during the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. However, this does not prevent the Jade Pool Holy Land from becoming the foremost power in the Western Region, because the Jade Pool Holy Land is home to numerous powerful individuals, and no sect in the Western Region can rival it.
If it weren't for the Jade Pool Holy Land's consistent adherence to the concept of balanced development, the entire Western Region would not be the scene of a hundred schools of thought vying for supremacy it is today.
On a majestic and beautiful mountain in the Jade Pool Holy Land, shrouded in clouds and mist, and brimming with vital energy, apart from the few sacred peaks within the Jade Pool Holy Land, there is almost no place in the entire Western Region more suitable for establishing a sect.
The mountain is called Jade Mountain. Its range is continuous and towering into the clouds. Cranes can be seen soaring in the sky all year round. It is the only place in the Western Region where such a sacred bird as the crane can be found.
Deep in the Jade Mountain, there is a flat mountain platform where ancient buildings, each with a history of tens of thousands of years, sit side by side.
People come and go from time to time; although it's not bustling, it doesn't feel deserted either.
With a loud bang, the door of a beautiful house was kicked open by Yue Yazi, startling everyone inside.
There were ten people in the room, chatting and laughing as they enjoyed their tea. Upon hearing the noise, they all looked angrily toward the door.
Upon seeing Yue Yazi, the group exchanged bewildered glances. One of the young cultivators stood up with a smile and said slowly, "Who has angered Holy Maiden Yue so much? Holy Maiden Yue, why don't you tell me, and I, Luo, will help you vent your anger?"
The Holy Maiden Yue smiled charmingly, glancing sideways at Luo Chengguang, and said, " Luo Chengguang, you'd better put away that frivolous face of yours. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you've cultivated the Nine Heavenly Radiance?"
Luo Chengguang was taken aback. He exchanged a glance with a voluptuous young woman beside him, then looked at Yue Yazi in surprise and asked, "What's going on? Could it be that someone in the East Sea has mastered the Ten Radiances Heavenly Instant Technique?"
"That's unlikely. The Ten Radiances Heavenly Instant isn't something you can master so easily. Given the current state of the world, being able to cultivate even nine Heavenly Radiance is already incredibly difficult. I don't believe in the existence of the Ten Radiances Heavenly Instant, at least not right now."
A composed man behind Luo Chengguang frowned and glanced at Yue Yazi, saying, " Yue Yazi, what exactly happened?"
Yue Yazi seemed to have some awe towards the gloomy man before her, and upon hearing this, she coldly snorted and said, " Yang Zhen has arrived."
" Yang Zhen?" Luo Guangcheng was taken aback and asked, "Which Yang Zhen?"
Before Yue Yazi could speak, the fiery woman behind Luo Guangcheng suddenly brightened up, burst into laughter, and said with great interest, "Could it be Yang Zhen, who cultivated twenty Heavenly Radiance?"
Upon hearing the fiery woman's words, Luo Guangcheng was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, saying, "I wonder who offended you? It's this arrogant fellow! What, did he really cultivate twenty Heavenly Radiance?"
The gloomy man was also taken aback, looking at Yue Yazi with a strange expression.
If Yang Zhen were just a joke, Yue Yazi wouldn't be so angry; the door was even kicked open, clearly indicating that Yue Yazi was furious with Yang Zhen.
Could it be that Yang Zhen has truly cultivated twenty Heavenly Radiance?
Everyone stared at Yue Yazi with suspicion and uncertainty, waiting for Yue Yazi to answer Luo Guangcheng's question.
Yue Yazi, however, chuckled and shook her head, saying, "He didn't actually cultivate twenty Heavenly Radiance..."
Luo Guangcheng scoffed and said, "I knew it. Who could cultivate twenty Heavenly Radiance? But if that's the case, why are you so furious?"
Yue Yazi blinked, looking aggrieved, and said, "Yeah, why am I so angry?"
Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Yue Yazi gritted her teeth and said, "Because that bastard Yang Zhen said that he didn't cultivate twenty Heavenly Radiance at all, but a full one hundred Heavenly Radiance."
puff!
Several people who were enjoying their tea spat it out, some even spraying onto Luo Guangcheng. Luo Guangcheng, seemingly oblivious, stared blankly at Yue Yazi and exclaimed in astonishment, "One hundred? Holy crap, is Yang Zhen an idiot? Who would believe that?"
The man with the gloomy expression tossed a handkerchief to Luo Guangcheng, stood up, gave Yue Yazi a deep look, and said in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
Clearly, he understood why Yue Yazi was angry: it was because the other side outnumbered him and couldn't teach Yang Zhen a lesson.
Yue Yazi curled her lip and said, "There were more than a dozen of them, how could I dare to lay a hand on them? But... I'm so angry, Senior Brother Wan Jian, you have no idea how infuriating that bastard Yang Zhen is. Relying on their numbers, he kept saying that he had only cultivated to the hundredth level of Heavenly Radiance, only... The expression on that bastard's face made me want to tear his mouth off."
"You bastard!"
Wan Jian slammed his fist on a nearby table, shattering it with a loud crash, and exclaimed, "Outrageous! This is utterly outrageous! Where are they now?"
Yue Yazi hesitated, then Luo Guangcheng chuckled and said, "Senior Brother Wan, please calm down. Why are you so angry over such a clown? The Jade Pool Grand Assembly is about to begin. Whether he has truly cultivated a hundred Heavenly Radiance or not, we'll find out then."
At this point, Luo Guangcheng turned to Yue Yazi and said with a smile, " Holy Maiden Yue, there's no need to be angry. When we meet Yang Zhen again, I'll find a way to get his head back for you to vent your anger."
Yue Yazi chuckled, looking at Luo Guangcheng with interest, and said, "You said it yourself!"
Luo Guangcheng laughed heartily and said, "In the Southern Frontier, everyone knows that Luo Guangcheng word is law. You can rest assured about this matter. I'd like to see what Yang Zhen, who dares to ridicule the Holy Maiden Yue like this, has to rely on to utter such absurd words."
Wan Jian's face was grim, a flash of murderous intent crossing his eyes. He said in a deep voice, " Yun La is not a fool. Since he agreed to let Yang Zhen say such things, he must have other plans. Luo Guangcheng, if you see Yang Zhen, you'd better be careful. However, the Jade Pool Grand Assembly is about to begin, and there are rumors that the Third Holy Maiden will be present. How to stand out at the assembly and gain the approval of the Third Holy Maiden is your top priority."
Luo Guangcheng nodded and said, "Senior Brother Wan Jian, rest assured, I know what's important. Yang Zhen is just a clown. It's only because Yun La lost face that he blurted out the fact that Yang Zhen had cultivated twenty Heavenly Radiance Radiances. He can't back down now, so he has no choice but to let Yang Zhen talk nonsense and confuse the public. I've seen this kind of thing many times."
"It's good that you know your limits!" Wan Jian nodded, clearly very satisfied with Luo Guangcheng.
At this moment, the fiery woman beside Luo Guangcheng, who had also cultivated the Nine Heavenly Radiance, suddenly looked intently at Wan Jian and asked, "Senior Brother Wan Jian, what is the purpose of the Third Holy Maiden searching for so many Heaven-Favored Person? Can you tell us now?"
Seeing the fiery woman's shifty eyes, Wan Jian smiled and said, "It's not that I intentionally wanted to hide it from you, but the Third Holy Maiden repeatedly instructed me that this matter is of great importance, and only after passing the Jade Pool Holy Land's test will one be qualified to know."
The fiery woman pursed her lips, about to speak, when Luo Guangcheng laughed and said, "Junior Sister Yu, don't be impatient. This is actually a good thing, preventing some boastful but weak fellows from spreading this around after they find out."
Junior Sister Yu chuckled and said to Luo Guangcheng, "Senior Brother Luo, you're talking about Yang Zhen, right? How could he possibly pass the Jade Pool Holy Land's assessment?"
Everyone in the room burst into laughter, and even Yue Yazi's complexion improved considerably.
"Achoo!"
Someone sneezed, looked at the blazing sun in the sky with a puzzled expression, and muttered to himself, "Damn it, that's the downside of being handsome; people are always eyeing you wherever you go."
