"To broaden one's horizons?"
Yang Zhen stared blankly at the Shameless Cat that swaggered out with an air of indifference, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
What exactly happened? We don't know, and we dare not ask, since we slept for several days straight.
Yang Zhen followed closely behind the Shameless Cat, passing through a long golden corridor and entering an enormous side hall.
This was a massive side hall that Yang Zhen had never seen before. The ceiling stretched as far as the eye could see, and a gigantic bronze ancient tree grew in the center, which made Yang Zhen tremble.
The next moment, Yang Zhen relaxed. This bronze ancient tree was clearly different from the one outside.
Although this ancient bronze tree was also cast in bronze, it did not have the aura that wanted to strip away the cultivator's soul. Instead, it gave people a sense of peace and tranquility.
Yang Zhen looked around the side hall with the curiosity of a child, becoming more and more surprised.
What kind of family could afford to put on such a grand display? And this is just a side hall, already so vast it stretches as far as the eye can see. Just how terrifying is the main hall?
After passing through the side hall, there was a long mountain path. Just as Yang Zhen was getting a little impatient, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Not far ahead, a colossal mountain peak stands out strikingly amidst the densely packed buildings.
To Yang Zhen's surprise, this enormous mountain was actually an artificial one, shrouded in Spiritual Qi that could be seen flowing down slowly like wisps of mist, a scene of breathtaking beauty.
"Qingtong Mountain?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback. Upon closer inspection, he immediately recognized the true nature of the mountain and exclaimed in surprise.
The Shameless Cat chuckled and said, "This is nothing. Having stayed in the Demon God Territory for so long, I've seen countless things like this."
"That's nothing?"
Yang Zhen was stunned. This artificial mountain was extraordinary. Although it was fake, it looked more mysterious than a real mountain. In the technical terms of the Blue Planet, the Demon God Territory had actually created a simulated environment.
That's quite impressive.
This bronze mountain alone, with its rich concentration of primordial energy, is already the most precious treasure in the Cultivation World.
Yang Zhen had no idea how much manpower and resources the Demon God Territory had spent building this bronze mountain, how many years it had taken to inscribe the Yuan-gathering array on it, or how many more years it had taken to carefully verify and modify it to achieve such a lifelike appearance. It was all now impossible to know.
This elaborate deception alone was enough to shock Yang Zhen.
You must understand that this deception is not limited to human cultivators, nor to those mindless ferocious Demon Beast, demons, or spirit beasts. This ancient bronze mountain is deceiving heaven and earth!
What a terrifyingly clever deception!
Cultivating on such mountains, coupled with those tomatoes with black spots, the Demon God Territory was able to produce batch after batch of Demon Emperor Guards in the shortest possible time, enough to intimidate the entire Cultivation World.
As Yang Zhen walked, he took a deep breath and looked at the Shameless Cat in front of him with a strange expression. He thought to himself, "If this Demon God Territory is not like this since ancient times, then it must have some grand ambition."
As he walked further, the number of human cultivators gradually increased. All sorts of cultivators came and went, most of them looking cheerful, as if it were the day when their sects were distributing cultivation resources. Yang Zhen was dumbfounded by their satisfied smiles.
"Who are these people?"
Yang Zhen Yang Zhen at the crowd of people coming and going with a curious expression, and many cultivators even greeted him.
The Shameless Cat glanced at Yang Zhen and said, "These are all cultivators from the Western Region, many of whom are from the Southern Frontier. There are fewer from the North Isle and the Central Court, and the fewest from the East Sea, because they haven't arrived yet. In a few more days, the Demon God Territory will be at its liveliest."
"By the way, what kind of Cultivation Method Cultivation Method you mention earlier, and how can I obtain it?"
Yang Zhen still Niannian that heaven-defying method.
It's not that Yang Zhen is obsessed with defying the heavens. As he said, the heavens don't owe him any money, so why would he bother defying the heavens when he has nothing better to do? Let whoever wants to defy the heavens do so. He's just cultivating like this, and it's fine.
Yang Zhen had only ever heard of and seen cultivators who cultivated in accordance with the will of Heaven, so he was only curious when he heard of a heaven-defying Cultivation Method.
The Shameless Cat turned a corner and said to Yang Zhen without turning back, "Those Cultivation Method are useless to you. You can't gain anything by defying the heavens. You'll see soon enough."
Yang Zhen was furious. That Shameless Cat was getting better and better at keeping people in suspense. Just as he was about to kick him, his eyes lit up.
Han Yan'er and Hua Youyue appeared before Yang Zhen, accompanied by the radiant Jade Pool Holy Lord.
Upon seeing Yang Zhen, the Jade Pool Holy Lord laughed heartily and approached Yang Zhen, saying, "Thank goodness, young friend Yang, you've finally woken up."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the Jade Pool Holy Lord, Yang Zhen said, "Thank you for your concern, Holy Lord Yao. What are you going to do?"
Hua Youyue smiled and said, " Dao Fanatic said you had woken up, and we were just about to go see you, but we didn't expect that the Shameless Cat would bring you here."
The Flirtatious Chicken slowly preened its feathers on Han Yan'er's shoulder. Upon seeing Yang Zhen, a hint of joy flashed across its face. It fluttered its wings and landed on Yang Zhen's shoulder, appearing very affectionate.
Yang Zhen patted Flirtatious Chicken's head and looked at Han Yan'er.
Han Yan'er's face flushed slightly. Unusually, she didn't meet Yang Zhen's gaze. Instead, she gave him a slight glare before turning her head away.
Just as Yang Zhen was about to speak, the Jade Pool Holy Lord suddenly laughed and said, "I know you have many questions. Since you're already here, let's find a place and I'll tell you in detail what has happened these past few days."
Upon hearing the words of the Jade Pool Holy Lord, Yang Zhen nodded and said, "In that case, thank you very much, Holy Lord Yao."
There's no need for such formalities between us.
The group arrived at a teahouse, and after taking their seats, Holy Lord Yao smiled at Yang Zhen and said, "Young friend Yang, what question would you like to ask?"
Yang Zhen pondered for a moment, then pointed to the enormous bronze mountain outside and asked, "What has been the reaction across the continents since the Demon God Territory was revealed?"
A meaningful smile flashed across Holy Lord Yao's face as he said, "As you can see, the Demon God Territory has opened its doors wide, not only sharing its Cultivation Method but also offering most of the rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures that have never appeared in the Cultivation World before. Recently, more and more cultivators have come to the Demon God Territory. Everyone likes it here, and the Demon God Territory is very hospitable, almost always granting requests."
Yang Zhen was taken aback, and said with a strange expression, "Doesn't Holy Lord Yao find something odd about this?"
Who would be so foolish as to contribute their painstakingly created Cultivation Method, provide a venue and cultivation resources, and even share a rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures like the Vermilion Dragon Saliva Fruit?
Yang Zhen would never believe there was no ulterior motive behind this.
Holy Lord Yao had clearly anticipated Yang Zhen's question. He sighed and said, "I can only say that compared to the Demon God Territory, we are like frogs at the bottom of a well."
Yang Zhen asked in surprise, "What do you mean by that Holy Lord Yao?"
Holy Lord Yao smiled and said, "Even young friend Yang thinks there must be a trick involved. People are so suspicious, how could they easily believe it? But no matter what their purpose was in coming to the Demon God Territory, they soon became convinced of it."
"Why?" Yang Zhen asked, becoming increasingly puzzled.
"Because what the Demon God Territory has offered is nothing more than a drop in the ocean compared to their Demon God Territory, and besides..."
At this point, Holy Lord Yao took a deep breath and said, "Furthermore, the Demon God Territory plans to open its doors wide to accept disciples. As long as a young person meets the Demon God Territory's recruitment criteria, they will not be rejected."
Yang Zhen's eyes twitched. The Demon God Territory was up to something.
