Yang Zhen didn't know what the purpose of this assessment was, but after listening to Yun La's words, it did feel like an alternate world version of PUBG, and he immediately felt a bit strange.
Yun La and the others explained the details to Yang Zhen in detail, which made Yang Zhen even more interested.
The place the seventy people were going to had a very interesting name: Falling Eagle Cliff. It was said to be an ancient Holy War, very strange. Since it was accidentally discovered, no cultivator had been able to come up with any way to fly inside.
Once you enter a height below Thousand Blades at Falling Eagle Cliff, you will lose any possibility of flying, no matter how high your cultivation level is.
That's not all. It's said that the place is lifeless, a complete wasteland, and even the scattered plants there are highly poisonous and inedible.
Yang Zhen asked with great interest, "What do we eat inside?"
Half a month is neither a long nor a short time. If it is really as rumored, then it is very likely that we will not even be able to find food, and it is extremely dangerous.
Yun La and the others' expressions turned strange. Song Chong said from behind, "So the purpose of cultivating this minor technique is not to find some Heaven-Favored Person, but to allow us to not eat while inside?"
Damn it, Grain Avoidance!
Yang Zhen suddenly realized the function of the Nameless Heart Art, which was almost perfectly integrated into this battle royale game.
What exactly is the Jade Pool Holy Land up to?
Yun La took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "That's one way to understand it, but after all, the minor techniques have greatly helped our strength, so it's not entirely because there's no food inside."
At this point, Yun La took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and said, "After all, there is food even in the forbidden area. Falling Eagle Cliff is just an ancient Holy War. Although it is dangerous, it is not fatal."
Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "It's good that it's not fatal. This Sage of Saunter doesn't like dying in some godforsaken place."
"Coward!" Song Chong sneered, glancing at Yang Zhen with apparent impatience.
Yang Zhen looked at Song Chong with a half-smile and said, "Brother, have you forgotten the principles of winning this PUBG game?"
Although Song Chong and the others didn't understand what a "battle royale" game was, they understood what Yang Zhen meant. Their expressions immediately changed, and they shouted sternly, " Yang Zhen, do you intend to steal your teammate's token?"
The others also changed their expressions, staring at Yang Zhen with astonishment. Clearly, everyone understood that, given Yang Zhen's personality, he was absolutely capable of doing such a shameless thing.
Yun La smiled wryly and said, "Brother Yang, this Jade Pool Grand Assembly is extraordinary. It has been under the watchful eyes of truly powerful figures. Perhaps even the Third Holy Maiden will be present in person. There are seven teams, and each one is incredibly strong, representing the most talented young generation from the four continents and the Central Court. You mustn't act recklessly!"
Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked in surprise, "People have come to the Central Court too?"
The Central Court is a vast and legendary land in the middle of the four continents, and its territory is almost larger than the four continents combined.
Because of its vast territory and sparse population, it has countless cultivation resources and a multitude of powerful individuals. Furthermore, due to its proximity to four continents, the composition of its cultivators is extremely complex, and their methods are so diverse that they often leave people overwhelmed. It is an exceptionally mysterious place.
Yun La nodded and said, " The Central Court has always been a rather mysterious place. Only yesterday did news arrive that, due to the vast area, the Heaven-Favored Person..."
"Very few?" Song Chong and the others asked curiously.
"Many!" Yun La took a deep breath and stared at the crowd, saying, "Two teams have arrived from the Central Court, and each team has a powerful expert who has cultivated the Eight Paths of Heavenly Radiance."
Song Chong and the others' eyes widened in surprise.
Even Yang Zhen was amazed. These people were truly terrifying. Compared to them, the people from North Isle were simply not worth mentioning.
No wonder the whole city doesn't think highly of Yang Zhen and his group; they're simply not on the same starting line as everyone else.
Although they have Yang Zhen, the " Child of Heaven and Earth " who has "cultivated a hundred Heavenly Radiance," the North Isle team now looks more like a joke than a cohesive unit.
Yang Zhen glanced at the strange-looking crowd and asked Yun La, "This Sage of Saunter only wants to know, after this so-called Jade Pool Grand Assembly, will there be a chance to meet those so-called Third Holy Maiden?"
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone's expression turned strange.
Even at this point, is that bastard Yang Zhen still thinking about the Third Holy Maiden?
Song Chong's face turned ashen as he stared at Yang Zhen and said, " Yang Zhen, don't think that just because you're talented you can do whatever you want. If it weren't for us, the token might have been snatched away by those real powerhouses as soon as you went in."
Everyone nodded eagerly. This was a meeting where the team helped each other. Yang Zhen could hardly move an inch on his own, and countless people were waiting to expose Yang Zhen's true colors.
Thinking of this, Song Chong and the others' expressions turned even more grim.
If Yang Zhen hadn't been so high-profile and arrogant, North Isle's team wouldn't have become the target of everyone's criticism. Now, if they wanted to leave a deep impression on Jade Pool Holy Land, they hardly needed to do anything. They only needed to give Yang Zhen, who claimed to have cultivated a hundred Heavenly Radiance, a good thud, and they would become famous throughout the Western Region.
Clearly, with Yang Zhen present, the North Isle team will be targeted in this assessment, which is terrifying to even think about.
Yang Zhen ignored Song Chong and the others' words. How could they know that having power meant one could do whatever one wanted?
As time passed, Song Chong and the others were secretly discussing something, seemingly devising a strategy to deal with being targeted.
Yang Zhen didn't participate. He didn't care about being targeted or not; he just charged in headfirst. Back at the Youzhou Grand Assembly, Yang Zhen was just a greenhorn, yet he was already causing a ruckus. This mere PUBG game—if he couldn't win, couldn't he at least stay put?
Yang Zhen wasn't afraid at all. He used this time to review his cultivation Cultivation Method and martial arts skills, and also acquired some array plates, high explosives, and refined some pills.
Yang Zhen only prepared a small amount of high explosives, about a ton, and he didn't refine many pills either, just enough to fill three storage rings a little.
Well, really, not too much. Too much can easily give the impression that Yang Zhen is bullying people.
Yang Zhen never bullies anyone; wouldn't it be great if everyone got through this assessment peacefully?
To Yang Zhen's surprise, the assessment organized by the Jade Pool Holy Land was quite large in scale, with representatives from all five continents. These representatives were all powerful and influential High Antiquity sects that held significant positions in the entire Cultivation World.
Many sects that Yang Zhen had never even heard of have now gathered at the Jade Pool Holy Land, supposedly to monitor the entire PUBG tournament through an High Antiquity treasure called the Heaven-Observing Mirror.
Early that morning, as the sky was ablaze with rosy dawn, seven flying boats rushed toward Eaglefall Cliff. In the blink of an eye, they entered the sky tens of thousands of feet high, with white clouds filling the air. In the blink of an eye, the other flying boats were nowhere to be seen.
In the Jade Pool Holy Land, on a majestic holy mountain, many sects were looking up at an enormous light screen in mid-air, on which were seven flying boats.
If Yang Zhen were here, he would be astonished. This thing could not only transmit images in real time, but also transmit audio. At least, all the voices directed at Yang Zhen were heard by the respected elders present.
The person in charge of the Jade Pool Holy Land was an old woman, hunched over but full of energy. Beside her, several old men were happily observing the situation inside the Heaven-Observing Mirror. An old man with a white beard said, "I've heard of the name Yang Zhen. He's quite famous in the East Sea. I didn't expect him to be so outstanding now that he's come to the Western Region."
Another portly old man chuckled and said, "If being targeted by the entire group counts as being outstanding, then Yang Zhen is indeed unparalleled."
The old woman from the Jade Pool Holy Land glanced at the two of them and said with a smile, "What do you all think of this Yang Zhen?"
The fat old man snorted and said, "Under these circumstances, if Yang Zhen isn't a fool, he'll definitely find a place to hide secretly. Otherwise, he'll probably be the first one eliminated. He's too conspicuous!"
The others nodded in agreement, and just as they were about to speak, a strange, sarcastic voice suddenly came from inside the Heaven-Observing Mirror.
" The Azure Planet Third Traffic Committee reminds you: There are thousands of roads, but safety is the first priority. Improper airships will bring tears to your loved ones' eyes. I am Yang Zhen, and I will be waiting for you at the ruins Eaglefall Cliff. Anyone with guts, come to the ruins at the top of the mountain. Anyone who doesn't jump over the ruins is a coward."
"The third mode of transportation on the blue planet..."
The sound, like a loudspeaker, echoed over and over again. Yang Zhen's irritating voice floated in the sky above Eaglefall Cliff, resounding through the heavens.
Everyone: "???"
Fat old man. "???"
You promised to hide, but that bastard Yang Zhen actually started trouble?
"Broken!"
The old woman from the Jade Pool Holy Land suddenly stood up, her face filled with surprise and uncertainty. She stared intently at the flying boat where Yang Zhen was, her expression showing astonishment.
