Yang Zhen couldn't do anything for two days as he waited anxiously for what seemed like forever.
Early that morning, just as dawn was breaking, Han Yan'er pounded on Yang Zhen's door so loudly that it shook the room. She came to Yang Zhen's bedside with a look of excitement and pulled Yang Zhen up.
Yang Zhen, still half-asleep, chuckled and said, "Go now?"
Han Yan'er nodded and said, " The Grand Dao Assembly is about to begin. I have a feeling that this Grand Dao Assembly will probably be the largest event in the Cultivation World ever. I don't want to miss this opportunity."
Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, "No matter how grand the event is, it belongs to someone else. I've told you so many times, other people's paths are theirs, only yours are yours. Don't try to understand too much, or you'll end up confusing yourself."
Han Yan'er snorted and said, "I know, you hurry up and get ready, we're leaving soon. I... I'll go get ready too."
Yang Zhen could tell that Han Yan'er was genuinely interested in this Grand Dao Assembly. As a Little Dao Addict, it was understandable that she would be interested in such a grand event. In fact, Yang Zhen wasn't entirely uninterested either.
After Yang Zhen finished getting ready and went out, Han Yan'er had already changed into a fiery red long dress. Her jade-like face was slightly flushed, her black hair was like a waterfall, and her pair of long legs, as smooth as jade, were faintly visible in the hem of the dress, making Yang Zhen dazzled.
Hua Youyue, dressed in a long white dress, was as beautiful as a snow lotus on a mountain peak. The two of them standing together were the most beautiful sight in the world.
The two bastards, Shameless Cat and Flirtatious Chicken, seemed to have dressed up deliberately. Shameless Cat's fur was shiny, and Flirtatious Chicken had finally groomed all its feathers. The two stood tall and proud beside Han Yan'er and Hua Youyue, looking radiant.
Of course, if that Shameless Cat didn't have those shifty eyes.
Upon seeing Yang Zhen, the master laughed heartily and said, "You rascal, your cultivation has become increasingly refined. I truly wonder just how high your talent has reached."
Yang Zhen looked around and said, "It seems to be the highest tier."
The gentleman paused, then shook his head, both amused and exasperated, and said, " The Grand Dao Assembly is about to begin. Shall we set off?"
Yang Zhen nodded, then suddenly frowned and asked, "Has anyone come here in the last couple of days?"
"Who's here?" The man was taken aback and said, "Recently, people have been coming to the Demon God Territory in droves, even several experts at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm have arrived. Who are you referring to? Or have you heard some news?"
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, stretched, and shook his head, saying, "It's not the aura of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert. Lately, I've had this uneasy feeling, as if a strange aura is gathering in the air, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is!"
Let's go!
As he spoke, Yang Zhen turned and walked towards the temple. After a moment's thought, he turned back and said, "Perhaps I'm overthinking it."
The old man chuckled and said, "I can understand. This grand opportunity, especially for young people like you, is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. It's understandable that you're a little nervous."
Are you nervous?
Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment, but he didn't feel nervous at all. However, that aura was definitely there, but with Yang Zhen's current strength, he couldn't seem to sense what kind of aura it was.
As the group drew closer to the training ground, they encountered more and more cultivators. The vast training ground was packed with people; it seemed as if everyone from the entire Western Region had come.
The Demon God Territory of today is undoubtedly the most terrifying existence since the Great Age began. A sect with several Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts could almost destroy any sect or holy land in the Cultivation World.
What you said is absolutely right. The Demon God Territory to the Great Dao is truly a great opportunity for everyone in the entire Cultivation World who listens to it.
"That aura seems to be getting stronger!"
Yang Zhen muttered to himself, looking around. They were all ordinary cultivators, the highest of whom was only at the Spirit Transformation Realm, and there wasn't even a single Heavenly Cycle Realm.
Such a cultivator was practically invisible to Yang Zhen; how could he possibly possess an aura that Yang Zhen couldn't even sense?
Han Yan'er approached Yang Zhen and asked with a curious expression, "What kind of aura did you sense?"
Hua Youyue also glanced at Yang Zhen with curiosity.
Yang Zhen shook his head, frowned, and said, "You two, protect me!"
Without waiting for a response from the two, Yang Zhen closed his eyes.
Buzz!
A gentle aura burst forth from Yang Zhen, gushing forth like a spring and sweeping in all directions.
Countless people felt a refreshing breeze, their minds jolted, and they all looked in Yang Zhen's direction.
"Who released their Dao Rhyme in the crowd? How utterly arrogant!"
"This Dao Rhyme... it shows no malice. Who could it be?"
"Even if there's no malice, it's still a gross disregard for us. Laozi, follow me. I want to see who's so arrogant as to dare provoke tens of thousands of cultivators!"
Han Yan'er and Hua Youyue were also startled. They hadn't expected Yang Zhen to act so recklessly, releasing his Dao Rhyme in a crowd of tens of thousands. If he didn't control it properly, it wouldn't just be a chaotic mess; it could cause a huge uproar.
Although the two women had absolute faith in Yang Zhen, what good was faith at this moment? If they angered these people, it would be troublesome.
Seeing that countless people around them instinctively retreated and surrounded Yang Zhen, almost instantly, all staring at Yang Zhen with hostile eyes, Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er exchanged a glance and stood on either side of Yang Zhen!
The Flirtatious Chicken glanced at Yang Zhen, then tucked its head under its wing again, while the Shameless Cat let out a strange howl and stared at Yang Zhen with shining eyes.
"You're impressive, kid. This is what you meant by 'one man can hold off ten thousand,' right? That was thrilling!"
The burst of Dao Rhyme from Yang Zhen's body came suddenly and disappeared just as inexplicably.
Everyone glared angrily at Yang Zhen, but before they could fully get into the mood, Yang Zhen opened his eyes, stretched, and yawned in one smooth motion. Seeing the bewildered looks on their faces, he finally grinned and said, "Sorry, I fell asleep!"
puff!
Everyone had been holding back their best moves, but they almost choked themselves with their own, staring blankly at Yang Zhen, unable to utter a single word.
Falling asleep? Sleeping my ass! How can you fall asleep in this situation? Are you a monster?
Han Yan'er pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh, and rolled her eyes at Yang Zhen.
Hua Youyue turned to Yang Zhen and asked, "How is it?"
Yang Zhen's expression was somewhat strange as he said, " Corpse Puppet!"
