Yang Zhen truly had no idea what the Jade Pool Holy Land wanted them for.
After entering Eaglefall Cliff, he had been consciously sensing his surroundings and even observing what others were doing.
But after observing for a while, Yang Zhen was a little confused.
The Common Qi within the primordial energy of heaven and earth is indeed a very troublesome thing, but the Jade Pool Holy Land has already provided a solution for it. Is it too frivolous to use such a thing to test those Heaven-Favored Person?
This was originally Yang Zhen's idea, but Yang Zhen later discovered that it wasn't so. What Yang Zhen considered an easy question turned into a death trap for Wan Jian and the others.
Wan Jian was luckier, since Yang Zhen had more or less recognized his character and thus helped him out. For Le Ying and the others, however, it was a matter of life and death.
By simply exploiting the Common Qi, they managed to ruin these people to the point of near death. Are these people truly Heaven-Favored Person?
When did those Heaven-Favored Person become so foolish?
Yang Zhen didn't believe that the Jade Pool Holy Land needed to test those Heaven-Favored Person in this way.
So Yang Zhen was now somewhat puzzled: what exactly was the Jade Pool Holy Land planning to do?
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone under the Heaven-Observing Mirror fell silent.
What exactly does the Jade Pool Holy Land want these Heaven-Favored Person to do? Yang Zhen wasn't the first to ask this question, but throughout history, no one has been able to answer it.
Even the current master of the Jade Pool Holy Land, the Jade Pool Holy Lord, only knew that only those Heaven-Favored Person could enter that place by passing the test of Eaglefall Cliff. As for what those Heaven-Favored Person should do in Eagle Eaglefall Cliff, there were countless examples. Throughout history, countless Heaven-Favored Person have entered Eaglefall Cliff, and all those who successfully passed the test and entered that place mostly did different things.
Some people walked in absentmindedly, some charged in triumphantly, some even stumbled in by accident, and so on and so forth – a truly diverse array of people!
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's question, the Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace and Elder Jian's expressions changed simultaneously, and they almost instantly turned their gazes to the Wan Jian in the Heaven-Observing Mirror.
Elder Jian gave a wry smile and said, "This is not good. Yang Zhen seems very decisive, but he's confused at a time like this. If Wan Jian says something misleading to Yang Zhen, wouldn't Yang Zhen be in danger?"
The Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace said in a deep voice, "It's not that dangerous. As long as Yang Zhen is still in the formation, no one else can do anything to him. However, there's really no standard to refer to when it comes to those Heaven-Favored Person who can enter that place. Even the Holy Lord once said that luck plays a big part in the Eaglefall Cliff test. Let's wait and see. Maybe Yang Zhen will do something that will surprise us."
The Third Holy Maiden looked at Yang Zhen with surprise and doubt, their faces flashing with complex expressions, their thoughts unknown.
At this moment, Wan Jian spoke up, shaking his head with a solemn expression, and said, " The Jade Pool Holy Land hasn't specified how to determine victory in this assessment. However, I've heard a rumor that the more tokens one possesses, the more likely they are to enter another place. Only by entering that place can the true assessment begin."
"Enter another place?" Yang Zhen was taken aback, his hand that was pouring tea stopped, which made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
Everyone stared intently at Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, waiting for his reaction.
Even the Third Holy Maiden, the Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace, and Elder Jian held their breath and stared intently at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen looked at Wan Jian with a strange expression, and after a long while, he curled his lip and said, "This Jade Pool Holy Land Sage of Saunter really causing me a lot of trouble. Why not just say there's another dungeon at Eaglefall Cliff? Making it so complicated is a waste of my time."
"Dungeon?" Wan Jian was stunned. "What's a dungeon?"
Yes, what is a dungeon?
Under the Heaven-Observing Mirror, everyone was dumbfounded; they had never heard of this thing before.
Only the Shameless Cat's eyes lit up with excitement as he exclaimed, "Here it comes! This kid's going to show off again. It's just a bit of a shame that the real me isn't here with him. Without background music, his show-off act is a real shame. I should have found a way to get in, damn it!"
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you!" Yang Zhen took a deep breath and looked at Wan Jian with a strange expression. " Yue Yazi and the others are obviously in trouble. Are you going to wait here, or go find them?"
Wan Jian pondered for a moment, then stared at Yang Zhen and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Under the Heaven-Observing Mirror, everyone was dumbfounded.
What is Yang Zhen going to do?
He finally managed to set up a powerful array here to ensure his safety; was he really planning to leave?
"That brat is utterly courting death. Does he intend to leave now to search for Mount Sumeru?"
Elder Jian stood up in surprise, his eyes wide with astonishment.
The Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace gave a wry smile and said, "What an incomprehensible kid. His greatest reliance is this Heaven and Earth Grand Array. Once he gets out, almost everyone he encounters will be targeting him. Doesn't he know his current predicament?"
The Third Holy Maiden' gazes grew increasingly complex as they murmured to themselves, "What exactly is he trying to do?"
What do you need to do?
Naturally, we need to find that instance!
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, looking at the misty world around him, and muttered to himself, "No wonder the Jade Pool Holy Land's assessment was so easy; there were hidden tasks!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Yang Zhen muttering to himself.
Wan Jian gave a wry smile and said, "You are truly a prodigy. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't even know that the mentally affecting aura in Eaglefall Cliff requires the Nameless Heart Art to suppress. This kind of test of comprehension and cognition is extremely difficult, yet you make it sound so simple?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback, then waved his hand and said, "That's the downside of you rich, handsome, and successful people!"
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone was stunned. Although they didn't understand what Yang Zhen meant by "tall, rich, and handsome," most of them understood that Yang Zhen was actually saying that there were drawbacks to disciples of High Antiquity lineages like Wan Jian?
Everyone exchanged bewildered glances. The disciples of the High Antiquity lineage were knowledgeable and experienced, and the techniques and Cultivation Method arts they cultivated were among the most mysterious and profound principles in the world. Their understanding of the world was beyond the reach of someone like Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen actually said that there are drawbacks to the disciples of the High Antiquity lineage?
Wan Jian looked at Yang Zhen with a surprised and uncertain expression, and asked, "What drawbacks do we have?"
Yang Zhen glanced at Wan Jian and said, "He's overly ambitious, lacks a solid foundation, and has a terrible ability to apply what he's learned to other situations!"
Everyone: "..."
Wan Jian: "..."
Utterly useless? In Yang Zhen's eyes, were the disciples of the High Antiquity lineage truly utterly worthless?
"That bastard, does he even know what High Antiquity inheritance means?"
"Throughout history, who hasn't envied and been jealous of disciples of High Antiquity lineages? Yang Zhen actually looks down on disciples of High Antiquity lineages like this; he really deserves a beating!"
"This despicable woman dares to look down on us disciples of High Antiquity lineage?"
"Master, do we possess such a flaw?"
"Don't listen to that scoundrel Yang Zhen! Countless cultivators throughout the world yearn to enter the sacred grounds of High Antiquity inherited sects. The High Antiquity inherited Cultivation Method and martial arts are the most powerful, refined and perfected over millennia by countless great masters. How could a Rogue Cultivator possibly comprehend them?"
"What you say is absolutely right, senior, but..."
Amidst the angry curses of the crowd, Yang Zhen looked at Wan Jian and suddenly spoke, "You don't believe me?"
Wan Jian gave a wry smile and said, "To be honest, I do find it hard to believe."
Yang Zhen laughed and said, "Then this 'Sage of Saunter' will prove to you what it means that basic knowledge is fundamental!"
