Seeing Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat whispering to each other with such cheeky expressions, most people were dumbfounded. Suddenly, the Jade Pool Holy Lord let out a strange howl, moved closer to Yang Zhen, and said excitedly, "Young friend Yang, is the Heavenly Palace True Rune you mentioned one of the Nine Runes of Heaven and Earth, the Heaven and Earth True Runes?"
Upon hearing the words of the Jade Pool Holy Lord, the others immediately understood and were all taken aback.
"What? It's actually the Nine Runes of Heaven and Earth! The legendary Nine Runes of Heaven and Earth have actually appeared in this place?"
"It's not surprising that it appeared here. As expected of the Demon God Territory that once led the Western Region, it actually managed to carve the Nine Runes of Heaven and Earth on the bronze door of the ancient bronze palace."
"My goodness, if it really is the legendary Nine Runes of Heaven and Earth, that's incredible! The Western Region are probably going to get lively again."
Amidst the discussions, everyone's gaze fell upon Yang Zhen.
Seeing the expression on Jade Pool Holy Lord's face, Yang Zhen looked puzzled and asked, "Why is Holy Lord Yao so agitated?"
The Jade Pool Holy Lord suppressed the urge to glare at Yang Zhen.
How could he not be excited? That was the legendary Nine Runes of Heaven and Earth, something countless people longed to see but could never hope to witness, and now it was right before his eyes!
"I'm sorry to have troubled you, young friend Yang. The legendary Nine Runes of Heaven and Earth are extremely rare treasures, and it's quite exciting that they've suddenly appeared before me."
The Shameless Cat chuckled and said with a sneer, "Kid, do you think the Nine Runes of Heaven and Earth is as common as cabbage? It's something ordinary people dream of but can't find. You just got lucky."
Yang Zhen glared at him and said, "What do you know? Good luck is also a part of strength."
Seeing that Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat were about to have an epic debate about this matter, the Jade Pool Holy Lord smiled wryly and said, "Young friend Yang has not yet answered my question."
Yang Zhen patted Jade Pool Holy Lord on the shoulder and said, "It's just a Heaven and Earth True Runes. Holy Lord Yao, there's no need to make such a fuss. You are, after all, the head of a holy land. It would be so embarrassing if word got out."
I couldn't resist anymore!
The Jade Pool Holy Lord couldn't hold back any longer, rolled her eyes, and glared at Yang Zhen.
Is there no need to make a fuss?
You talk as if you've ever seen the Heaven and Earth True Runes before.
Yang Zhen thought the sandstorm here was so strong that even a master Holy Lord Yao could get his eyes wet. If he knew what Holy Lord Yao was thinking, he would definitely show off his Gen Metal True Rune and Desolate Heaven True Rune.
Of the Nine Runes of Heaven and Earth, Yang Zhen alone obtained two of them. Now, seeing the Heaven and Earth True Runes again, he really couldn't get excited.
However, the Heavenly Palace True Rune seems a bit different. This Heaven and Earth True Runes is not like the Gen Metal True Rune and the Desolate Heaven True Rune, which are wild.
Even though the Desolate Heaven True Rune were comprehended from a statue of a War God, they only existed within it and were not refined into it.
The gate of the ancient bronze palace did indeed bear the refined Heavenly Palace True Rune, and it was the very origin of the Heavenly Palace True Rune. In other words, the Demon God Territory had become so wealthy that they could casually draw the Heaven and Earth True Runes on their gates.
Wow, they're incredibly extravagant!
As Yang Zhen observed the Heavenly Palace True Rune, he also sensed the aura emanating from the ancient bronze palace. For a moment, the entire place fell silent.
The Shameless Cat sidled up to Yang Zhen, and seeing that Yang Zhen hadn't made a move, it said with a strange expression, "Kid, what's wrong? Not confident?"
Yang Zhen shook his head and explained, "This is no longer a matter of whether we're confident or not. If we disturb the gate of the Bronze Ancient Palace, we'll inevitably trigger its restrictions, which might cause changes in the Bronze Ancient Tree. It could be quite dangerous!"
Holy Lord Yao laughed heartily and said, "Young friend Yang, you can rest assured. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; we probably won't encounter it again in our lives. Even if there is some danger, we must witness it with our own eyes. What do you all think?"
Upon hearing the words of the Jade Pool Holy Lord, everyone nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Fellow Daoist Yang, although we do not have the method to refine the Heaven and Earth True Runes, observing from the sidelines is still a rare opportunity. You need not worry about our safety."
"What's there to fear in danger? I've died countless times in my life, so what's one more time?"
Everyone spoke up to state their positions, and since these people didn't care, Yang Zhen naturally... cared even more.
Damn it, do you guys think refining a Heaven and Earth True Runes is such a simple thing?
There's always a risk of danger during the refining process. What if I, the Sage of Saunter, do the refining while you guys rush in to search for the secret treasures and inheritance?
Besides, even if these people don't take the opportunity to rush in, what if someone dislikes Yang Zhen and jumps out from the side to hit him while he's refining? That would be unbearable.
Everyone seemed to realize the problem as well, and for a moment they were a little embarrassed. They all said that Yang Zhen should continue refining the bronze, and that they would only enter the ancient bronze hall after Yang Zhen succeeded.
The Jade Pool Holy Lord chuckled and said, "Young friend Yang, rest assured in refining it. With me, the Holy Maiden Hua, and the Dao Fanatic Girl protecting you, even if others wanted to harm you, it wouldn't be so easy."
Yang Zhen looked troubled, then his expression changed, and he said seriously, "What are you saying, Holy Lord Yao? How could I, this Sage of Saunter, be such an unreasonable person?"
At this point, everyone looked at Yang Zhen with blank expressions, wondering what he was up to now.
Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "If I don't go to hell, who will? Go ahead and go in. If there's any danger, this Sage of Saunter Sage of Saunter will cover for you. I'm saying this right now: if there's nothing wrong, go ahead and go in."
Everyone's expression hardened, and many muttered Yang Zhen's words to themselves, feeling a pang of shame.
"If I don't go to hell, who will? Young friend Yang's words make this old man feel ashamed of himself. I'll make my own words here today: until young friend Yang successfully refines the Heaven and Earth True Runes, this old man will not enter the Bronze Ancient Hall for a single day!"
hiss--!
Yang Zhen and the others gasped, and Yang Zhen said with gratitude, "Why bother, senior?"
The old man laughed heartily and said, "Even if my life is uneventful, I will still have a clear conscience and nothing to be ashamed of. Young friend Yang, please don't try to persuade me any further."
"Our senior is of noble character and integrity. If we do not express our support, won't we be ridiculed by the world?"
"Indeed, as the elder said, if Fellow Daoist Yang Zhen is unable to refine the Heaven and Earth True Runes in a day, we will simply wait here. Why should Holy Lord Yao and the two young ladies continue to protect Fellow Daoist Yang Zhen?"
Yang Zhen's expression of gratitude deepened. "Everyone, you really don't need to do this."
"Young friend Yang, please stop talking and focus on refining the Heaven and Earth True Runes as soon as possible."
"Yes, hurry up and refine the Heaven and Earth True Runes."
"Good!"
Yang Zhen waved his hand and said righteously, "In order to allow everyone to enter the Bronze Ancient Palace as soon as possible to obtain the inheritance and secret treasures, this Sage of Saunter will spare no effort to refine this Heaven and Earth True Runes as quickly as possible."
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, the crowd erupted in cheers, and many even began to applaud.
The two, Shameless Cat and Flirtatious Chicken, exchanged a glance, their Celestial Person filled with astonishment and utter bewilderment as they looked at Yang Zhen.
Especially the Shameless Cat, who looked at Yang Zhen with a strange expression and muttered to himself, "Damn, when will I ever be able to grasp the essence of this acting?"
Yang Zhen glanced at the Shameless Cat leisurely, then gently placed his hands on the bronze door.
boom--!
A muffled thud was heard, startling everyone.
A terrifying divine might erupted from the bronze gate, sweeping across the heavens and earth in the blink of an eye, as if it were about to engulf the entire bronze mountain.
"This... this is the terrifying power of the Heaven and Earth True Runes?"
Everyone stared at Yang Zhen in disbelief, utterly shocked.
