No one expected that Yang Zhen would be so untrustworthy, and that he would take shamelessness to an almost serious level.
The fat old man cried out as if he had bitten his tongue, staring blankly at Yang Zhen who had fallen from the sky, his finger trembling as he pointed at the Heaven-Observing Mirror.
"This Yang Zhen, he didn't jump off the mountaintop ruins?"
No one answered the fat old man's question, because everyone was completely dumbfounded. What was supposed to be a thrilling free-for-all had been turned into a huge, deep pit by Yang Zhen.
Except for a very few people who disregarded Yang Zhen or dared not jump off the mountain ruins at this time, everyone else was tricked by Yang Zhen.
One can imagine the deep Yin Shadow that would be cast on everyone's hearts after such a fierce battle, only to find no trace of Yang Zhen.
Clearly, no one, including the fat old man, knew anything about Yang Zhen!
The wind whistled past his ears, and the exhilarating jump gave Yang Zhen a complete taste of what it felt like to skydive. It was just a pity that he wasn't carrying a parachute. At a height of 10,000 feet, with the physical abilities of people like Yang Zhen, there was no need for a parachute, and they wouldn't die from the fall.
No one knew that Yang Zhen was actually quite conflicted. Before figuring out what kind of trouble the Jade Pool Holy Land had caused, Yang Zhen also didn't know if his flattery had pleased the Third Holy Maiden. What if the Third Holy Maiden wasn't a woman who liked this kind of romance?
What if this assessment isn't actually about who can acquire more tokens, but rather about who's the most reckless?
Yang Zhen landed on the ground with a thud, looking around blankly, unsure of what to do.
The next moment, Yang Zhen's eyes lit up, and he showed a look of surprise.
This Eaglefall Cliff is indeed something special. Not only is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth abundant here, but there's also a strange feeling that it's constantly improving Yang Zhen's body. Yang Zhen feels that if he lived here for a hundred years, he might be able to achieve Physical Body Sanctification directly.
This feeling only lasted a moment before Yang Zhen's expression changed again.
"Damn it, there's no such thing as a free lunch. There's actually poison... poison... poison circle?"
Yang Zhen moved his hands and feet. Although this place seemed to be entirely beneficial to his body, Yang Zhen's perception was so terrifying that he almost instantly noticed something amiss.
Within the primordial energy of heaven and earth here, there exists an extremely dangerous yet almost imperceptible aura that can subtly influence a cultivator's State of Mind.
Over time, let alone achieving Physical Body Sanctification, it would be a miracle if they didn't become mere walking corpses.
This was the first time Yang Zhen had sensed this aura, and he didn't know what it was, but that didn't stop Yang Zhen from knowing it wasn't anything good.
Fortunately, since Yang Zhen had already sensed this aura, there was a way to deal with it. Yang Zhen sensed it for a moment, then a strange expression appeared on his face, and suddenly ten rays of Heavenly Radiance burst forth from his body.
The Heavenly Radiance cultivated through the Nameless Heart Art was able to easily burn away that aura completely. The wonders of nature are indeed wondrous. Yang Zhen Yang Zhen the principle that one thing can subdue another, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a thorough subjugation.
"Damn it, I feel like I've been tricked. What on earth is this Jade Pool Holy Land up to?"
After unleashing ten bursts of Heavenly Radiance, Yang Zhen felt much more at ease. In this way, he could truly achieve Physical Body Sanctification right here.
Of course, that's assuming you live for a hundred years.
But is a hundred years a significant amount of time for a cultivator?
Yes, for Yang Zhen, it is. He would rather travel around, see interesting things, and flirt with pretty girls than have this hundred years. That's what life is all about. Here, he'd just be an ascetic.
Yang Zhen swaggered around, observing his surroundings. Beside the Heaven-Observing Mirror, a group of people were completely dumbfounded.
Seeing Yang Zhen suddenly stop moving after landing, a satisfied look flashed across the old woman's face, and she said, " Yang Zhen's talent is indeed as rumored; he actually discovered the problem with Eaglefall Cliff as soon as he landed."
While the others were still overjoyed, Yang Zhen had already detected the strange aura within the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which surprised the group of people sitting at the head of the table.
The fat old man snorted and said, "No matter how talented he is, it can't hide this kid's shameless face. Really... he actually tricked so many people, and he's off enjoying himself?"
"How long do you think Yang Zhen can withstand the Common Qi?" the white-bearded old man asked curiously.
An old monk nearby chuckled and said, "The existence of the Common Qi is meant to give these people a sense of urgency, lest they consider hiding until the end of the assessment. Up until now, we still don't know how much Heavenly Radiance Yang Zhen has cultivated. Once he discovers a way to suppress the Common Qi, we will know."
The fat old man chuckled, picked up a cup of tea, blew on it, and looked at Yang Zhen with a half-smile, "This bastard has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but I wonder how long it will take him to discover that Heavenly Radiance can suppress the Common Qi. Once he does, we'll naturally know whether he's just trying to gain fame... Pfft!"
Everyone was nodding in satisfaction as they listened to the fat old man's words when they suddenly heard the phrase "seeking fame and fortune," and they were momentarily stunned.
I've never heard of that word before!
Many people instinctively looked at the fat old man and were immediately stunned.
The fat old man still had tea stains on the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were almost bulging out. In front of him, three or five elderly people who were on the verge of death were frantically fixing their hair, all of which had been soaked by this old geezer's tea spray.
Damn it, that fat old man really drank a lot of tea; look how wet it is!
The next moment, everyone became curious and followed the fat old man's gaze to look at the Heaven-Observing Mirror, whereupon they were immediately dumbfounded.
Ten Heavenly Radiance!
Ten beams of Heavenly Radiance suddenly erupted from Yang Zhen's body... Could it be that the Heaven-Observing Mirror has malfunctioned?
Everyone present, whether they were highly respected elders or disciples of the Jade Pool Holy Land, was stunned, staring wide-eyed at Yang Zhen in the Heaven-Observing Mirror, their faces filled with disbelief.
"One, two, three, four..." The fat old man's eyes widened as he counted to ten in a row. He swallowed hard, turned around, and solemnly asked the old woman behind him, " Nanny Hu, have any illegitimate children been born outside the Jade Pool Holy Land in recent years?"
"Outrageous!" Nanny Hu glared and said, " Old Man Chi, if you continue to spout nonsense, I will send you out of the Jade Pool Holy Land."
What illegitimate child? Even if there were an illegitimate child outside, would you ask so bluntly and without any regard for face?
Old Man Chi rubbed his fat belly and said with a strange expression, "Impossible! This kid must have cultivated the Nameless Heart Art Sutra before, otherwise how could he have cultivated ten Heavenly Radiance?"
Although everyone felt that Old Man Chi said was somewhat nonsense, they also felt that it made a lot of sense. Yang Zhen must have already cultivated the Nameless Heart Art.
Ten Heavenly Radiance! It was actually ten Heavenly Radiance!
"No!" The white-bearded old man's face flashed with surprise and uncertainty as he stared wide-eyed and said, "Even if Yang Zhen were to unleash ten Heavenly Radiance now, the Common Qi wouldn't affect him at all. But as time goes on, the Common Qi's adaptability to the Heavenly Radiance Radiances will deepen. What will Yang Zhen use to resist?"
The Old Man Chi chuckled strangely, "I told you, this Yang Zhen is a fame-seeker, too fond of showing off. Now look what's happened! He tricked others first, and now, in his pursuit of showing off, he's tricked himself. In less than half a day, Yang Zhen will be unable to withstand the corrosive effects of the Common Qi. That will be quite a spectacle!"
At this point, Old Man Chi turned to Nanny Hu with a curious expression and asked, "Is Yang Zhen really not an illegitimate child of the Jade Pool Holy Land?"
"No!" Nanny Hu gritted her teeth, her gaze towards the Old Man Chi almost spitting fire.
Behind Nanny Hu, a look of surprise flashed across the woman in yellow's face. Her gaze never left Yang Zhen. Suddenly, she chuckled and said, "This person is really interesting!"
