"I... I'm not afraid of anything!"
Han Yan'er smiled brightly, and the last trace of embarrassment disappeared.
Yang Zhen ruffled Han Yan'er's hair and said, "That's right."
After saying that, Yang Zhen looked back and muttered to himself, "There are too many people in this world who can't stand seeing others do better than themselves. Admitting that others are excellent is harder than admitting that they are inferior!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned. Han Yan'er stared at Yang Zhen in shock. After a long while, she took a deep breath and smiled at Yang Zhen, saying, "Thank you, Yang Zhen!"
Seeing Han Yan'er regain her domineering aura with her Long Legs, standing alone with her sword and dressed in red, exuding an ethereal, otherworldly charm, Yang Zhen laughed heartily. Some things, once understood, are understood. Helping Han Yan'er grow is far more valuable than rushing down and beating everyone up!
The Central Emperor and the others also showed expressions of surprise, not expecting that Yang Zhen would not utter such profound words.
Little did they know that when it came to Buddhist teachings, Yang Zhen could talk for three days and three nights without repeating himself.
No one in the audience heard Yang Zhen's words, but they could sense the change in Han Yan'er's aura, and they all showed surprised expressions.
Han Yan'er was already a peerless beauty, but during her time with Hua Youyue and Yang Zhen, she became even more ethereal, with every smile and gesture exuding elegance.
Under the spotlight, Han Yan'er walked beside Yang Zhen with a stubborn smile on her lips. Her aura was even stronger than Hua Youyue's.
Yuan Hao stared blankly at Han Yan'er's transformation, his face filled with astonishment and uncertainty. Then, he gritted his teeth, glared at Yang Zhen, and said, word by word, with a gloomy expression, " Yang Zhen!"
A hint of hesitation flashed across the old woman's face as she stared at Yang Zhen's retreating figure, lost in thought.
Among the crowd, Yue Ling and the gentleman looked at Yang Zhen with surprise. The gentleman stroked his beard and smiled, sighing, "I never expected that Kid Yang would grow to such a level."
Those who can ascend the Dao Platform are all powerful figures at the height of their power: the Central Emperor, the Old Man Leaping Dragon, the Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels, Heavenly Venerable Upper Five. These are all powerful beings at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, capable of shaking the entire cultivation world, yet they are now standing with Yang Zhen.
Countless people familiar with Yang Zhen felt a wave of surprise, not to mention those who had never heard of Yang Zhen.
Most of these people were dumbfounded, and they were mostly cultivators from the Southern Frontier and the Central Court. Among them were many powerful individuals, and there were countless experts at the Heavenly Cycle Realm.
However, among the Heavenly Cycle Realm experts present today, if they cannot stand out in the upcoming enlightenment process, their presence will not be as strong as that of the Shameless Cat and the Flirtatious Chicken.
The two bastards swaggered to the side, and soon began to feast on their food at their seats, as if today's Grand Dao Assembly had nothing to do with them.
After the guests and hosts took their seats, the entire Daoist temple fell silent. Everyone's attention was focused on the people on the platform. Of course, at this point, not many people were still paying attention to Yang Zhen and the others.
Even though Yang Zhen possessed extraordinary luck, he was merely a supporting character at this moment. The people who came to participate in the Grand Dao Assembly were not there for Yang Zhen.
At this moment, a terrifying light curtain enveloped the entire dojo. Everyone looked up at the sky in horror. The peaceful light was like a water curtain, with shimmering light flowing on it, making people dizzy and mesmerized.
Many people exclaimed in surprise, their faces grave, "What is this? Does the Demon God Territory intend to confine everyone here?"
"This... this shouldn't be a restriction, right? I've never seen such a peaceful restriction before."
"It's not a restriction. The Demon God Territory wouldn't risk the world's condemnation to control all of us. I once saw a description of a similar light screen in a rare book; it seemed to be some kind of Heaven-Deceiving Curtain. My God, what exactly does the Demon God Territory want to do?"
" Heaven-Deceiving Curtain? This is actually Heaven-Deceiving Curtain? Does this thing really exist?"
Amidst the murmurs and whispers, everyone's expressions turned serious as they stared intently at the stage. Clearly, everyone was curious about what the Demon God Territory intended to do.
At this moment, the Central Emperor said with a smile, "Everyone, there's no need to panic. Some of you must have recognized the Heaven-Deceiving Curtain. This is just a smokescreen. The reason the Demon God Territory activated the Heaven-Deceiving Curtain is simply to prevent any of you from breaking through and undergoing tribulation during your enlightenment."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
" The Demon God Territory's thinking is indeed very thoughtful. We are all experts at the Spirit Transformation Realm or even the Heavenly Cycle Realm. If we were to undergo tribulation during our enlightenment, it would definitely be a disaster. Nobody wants to encounter such a thing."
"So this is all it took? The Demon God Territory has really gone to great lengths."
"That's great! I can now freely comprehend the Dao without fear of undergoing tribulation during the process!"
"I was just worried about this issue, but I didn't expect the Demon God Territory to have considered it so early. As expected of a powerful entity with tens of thousands of years of history."
Everyone cheered, praising the Demon God Territory's thoughtfulness. Yang Zhen sat on the platform, but a solemn expression flashed across his face.
Yang Zhen was very familiar with the profound principles of heaven and earth and the Earth Treasury Art, and could sense auras that others could not. Although the Heaven-Deceiving Curtain, as the Central Emperor said, could conceal the aura of cultivators, this was only one of its many functions, and a very underutilized one at Heaven-Deceiving Curtain.
The greatest function of this Heaven-Deceiving Curtain is... to unleash the might of Heaven!
In other words, if the Demon God Territory wanted to, he could detonate the terrifying heavenly might gathered in an instant. If there were no foolproof plan, most of the people here would probably die, no, almost all of them would be killed!
What exactly does the Demon God Territory want to do?
Yang Zhen looked at the Shameless Cat, who was drinking with the Flirtatious Chicken. He only glanced at the Heaven-Deceiving Curtain as a formality before paying no more attention.
This attitude, while a bit irritating, is enough to show that there's no major problem; otherwise, given that scoundrel Shameless Cat's personality, he would have already made an excuse to leave.
Yang Zhen felt relieved, took a deep breath, and turned his gaze back to the Central Emperor.
Buzz!
A sudden, terrifying Dao Rhyme swept across the entire arena. The Central Emperor stood up, laughing heartily, and said, "Now, I won't waste any more words. The purpose of the Grand Dao Assembly is to promote the Dao, and I believe that the mysteries of heaven and earth Dao Emulates Own Inherent Spontaneity. Today, I will release my Dao Rhyme and Dao Resonance, and then I will spread the Dao Intent I have gained. How much you can comprehend depends on your own fortune!"
Rumble!
Even with the Heaven-Deceiving Curtain in place, when the Central Emperor unleashed his Dao Rhyme and Dao Resonance, a series of roars echoed through the heavens and earth.
A vast and mighty force gathered at the top of the sky, but unable to find any source of its power, it could only surge and churn above the heavens, its roars sending chills down one's spine.
When everyone was shocked to find that no divine might descended, their faces lit up with ecstatic joy. They all sat down on the spot and began to comprehend the Dao Rhyme and Dao Resonance of the Central Emperor.
The Dao Rhyme flows and circulates, like the gentle light of heaven!
The chanting of Dao Resonance Wanru clear, resonant sound of heaven!
Everyone was completely absorbed in the lecture, and even before the Central Emperor began, they all benefited greatly.
Yang Zhen was rather bored, probably the most relaxed one besides those two bastards, the Shameless Cat and the Flirtatious Chicken.
Even Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er calmly began to comprehend the power of heaven and earth.
A moment later, Yang Zhen couldn't resist any longer. He tiptoed over to the two, the Shameless Cat and the Flirtatious Chicken, and began to feast.
These three bastards are a complete upheaval in the cultivation world!
