Yang Zhen finally left, striding away from the direction of the Heaven and Earth Grand Array amidst the conflicted gaze of Wan Jian and the bewildered expressions of countless people under the Heaven-Observing Mirror.
As for the four unlucky souls from Grievance-Dissolving Valley, they are still hanging unconscious in the trees, drifting about in a rather ethereal way.
No one could understand Yang Zhen. In everyone's eyes, even if Yang Zhen found the location of Mount Sumeru, he would not be able to enter Mount Sumeru alive.
Unless Yang Zhen can win over Yue Yazi and Luo Guangcheng like he did with Wan Jian, and add Yun La and others to the mix, there might still be a chance.
However, not only Yue Yazi and the others, but even Song Chong and the others had some complaints about Yang Zhen. Yun La and the others were nowhere to be found. Under these circumstances, the chances of Yang Zhen encountering Yun La and Yue Yazi on the rest of the journey were much smaller than those of encountering others.
However, Yang Zhen left without any hesitation, as if he were throwing away a pile of junk, not a pile of Saint-level array plates.
Jade Holy Palace, Elder Jian slapped his thigh and said with great satisfaction, "Good lad! Regardless of his cultivation level or temperament, his carefree attitude alone is something that ordinary people can't match. I'm becoming more and more curious about Yang Zhen's background. What kind of environment could have produced such a talent?"
The Third Holy Maiden wore gratified smiles as they looked at Elder Jian and asked with a beaming smile, "What does Elder Jian think of Yang Zhen?"
"Excellent, excellent. The more I look at Yang Zhen, the more satisfied I become. If he truly has no sect lineage, I might be able to introduce him to my side."
"What?" The Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace and the Third Holy Maiden were both taken aback and asked in surprise, " Elder Jian wants to take Yang Zhen as his disciple?"
Elder Jian was taken aback, and looked at the two of them, asking, "What, you also want to introduce Yang Zhen to the Jade Pool Holy Land?"
At this point, Elder Jian shook his head and said, "Your Jade Pool Holy Land has many rules. Putting aside whether you'll even allow Yang Zhen to enter, even if he did, given Yang Zhen's Jade Pool Holy Land, he probably wouldn't be able to tolerate your rules."
The Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace gave a wry smile and said, " Elder Jian, you can't compete with us for people like that. By the way, there's bound to be a conflict between Yang Zhen and Lin Haotian. He might offend some place or some person. Aren't you afraid of being implicated?"
Elder Jian glared and said, "That's a matter between Yang Zhen and Lin Haotian. Besides, the inevitable conflict between the two is all because of your Jade Pool Holy Land. What, do you intend to stay out of it?"
The Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace shook her head and said, " Elder Jian is joking. How could Jade Pool Holy Land be such a treacherous place? It's just..."
"But what?" Elder Jian glared and said, "Didn't you all see? Yang Zhen uses a sword!"
The Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace and the Third Holy Maiden exchanged a glance, both noticing the strange look in each other's eyes.
Can a weapon that looks like a door panel be considered a sword?
"It's a sword, that's right, it's a sword!" Elder Jian seemed unsure, repeatedly emphasizing that the Great Deficiency Sword was indeed a sword.
At this moment, a disciple with a strange expression walked in and said to the three palace masters of the Jade Holy Palace, "Palace Master, Elder Jian, Third Holy Maiden, the Holy Lord wants you to go to the Holy Temple."
"Go to the Holy Temple?" The Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace's expression changed, and she asked, "Did you mention to the Holy Lord that Yang Zhen possesses the method to find Mount Sumeru?"
The disciple respectfully replied, "This disciple reports truthfully that the Heaven-Observing Mirror of the Holy Temple is now activated, but..."
"But what?" Elder Jian glared and said, "Speak quickly, there are no outsiders here. You disciples of the Jade Pool Holy Land are just too rule-bound and fussy."
The disciple gave a wry smile and said, " Senior Yue and Lin Haotian are currently in the Holy Temple."
"What?" Elder Jian asked in surprise, "That guy is here, and he even brought Lin Haotian with him? What does he want?"
The Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace snorted coldly and said, "What else could he be doing? He must be here to laugh at those Heaven-Favored Person. That person has always been arrogant and has always looked down on our chosen ones."
Elder Jian exclaimed "Oh!" his eyes lighting up. He hurriedly stood up and said, "We must go and see! I wonder what kind of expression that guy will have after seeing Yang Zhen's performance. Hurry up, let's go! I can't wait any longer!"
Seeing that Elder Jian was still so competitive despite his advanced age, the Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace gave a wry smile. However, anyone could see that the old man's eyes were also flashing with excitement, clearly indicating that he had the same idea as Elder Jian.
Only the Third Holy Maiden showed a hint of hesitation on their faces, slowly stood up, bit their lip, and said, "I'll go too!"
Elder Jian and Jade Holy Palace were taken aback. They exchanged a glance, their expressions turning grim.
The Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace took a deep breath and said, "Go ahead. Some things must be faced. Fortunately, Yang Zhen's performance has satisfied both me and Elder Jian. We can still have some conversations in the Holy Temple."
The Third Holy Maiden bowed to the two men as disciples and said, "Thank you very much, Palace Master and Elder Jian."
Elder Jian chuckled and said, "Easy, easy. I also dislike Lin Haotian. He's so arrogant at such a young age. How can he achieve anything great?"
When the group arrived at the temple, the atmosphere there was very solemn.
On the highest seat in the temple sat two old men. The old man on the left was dressed in white, with white hair and beard. He looked very old, but his spirit was bright. His aura was like the wind, and his clothes fluttered, making him very free and easy.
The old man on the right was somewhat gloomy, but his aura was as vast as a boundless ocean, giving people a sense of insurmountable power at first glance.
A Peak of the Heavenly Cycle Realm, whose spirit roams the Nine Heavens, possessing unparalleled divine soul.
Behind the old man on the right, a young man in white looked at a Heaven-Observing Mirror in mid-air that was clearly more powerful than the Jade Holy Palace with a playful smile on his face, his expression full of disdain.
Lin Haotian's aura was exactly the same as that of the gloomy old man, both being as vast as the sea, only more gloomy. He gave people a cold feeling like a vulture in the sky, wearing white clothes, but his face was full of gloom.
Although this person was young, he was actually a Heavenly Cycle Realm expert. With the vast aura emanating from him, he exuded a natural and unrestrained charm that was visually striking.
Clearly, Lin Haotian's cultivation level has reached a transcendent state, making him a powerful figure even among the younger generation of the Heavenly Cycle Realm.
Upon seeing the newcomers, Lin Haotian did not immediately greet the Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace and Elder Jian. Instead, he looked at the Third Holy Maiden with a half-smile, his expression unreadable.
The Third Holy Maiden, without looking to the side, arrived at the center of the temple, bowed to the head monk, and said, "Holy Lord, Senior Yue!"
The Holy Lord of Jade Pool Holy Land smiled, nodded, and said, "Please sit down!"
Jade Holy Palace was merely a detached palace of the Jade Pool Holy Land. When the Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace arrived at the place where the other Palace Masters were, he sat down without changing his expression, and his face became calm and indifferent.
Elder Jian, on the other hand, sat casually with the Third Holy Maiden, glanced at Lin Haotian sideways, and then looked down at his nose, no longer paying attention to the location of the Holy Temple.
After everyone was seated, the Holy Lord looked at Yang Zhen, who was walking with Wan Jian in the Heaven-Observing Mirror, and said, "Disciple reports that Yang Zhen has actually found the method to locate Mount Sumeru. Is this true?"
The Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace hurriedly nodded and said, "That's true."
Lin Haotian suddenly burst into laughter and said, "It is said that Yang Zhen looks down on the disciples of High Antiquity inheritances. He is quite an interesting person, but he also has some luck, being able to find the location of Mount Sumeru by chance at Eaglefall Cliff. Haotian, would like to have the opportunity to learn from him."
Upon hearing Lin Haotian's words, everyone present tensed up.
Elder Jian stared blankly at Lin Haotian, muttering to himself, "This brat is getting more and more arrogant."
