The Holy Tomb is just a grave.
It wasn't until he sensed a sinister aura rising within him that Yang Zhen realized what was happening.
It turns out that after the Great Saint died, he could only lie in a small grave, just like those glamorous female celebrities on the blue planet who also need to go to the toilet.
Oh dear, this is a bit of a departure from her usual persona!
The once mighty and unparalleled Great Saint is now reduced to ashes, and in the end, his grave is being dug up. It is truly a pitiful end.
A chilling aura rushed towards him, like a stream of water, penetrating Yang Zhen's body and even coating his bones with a layer of icy coldness.
Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er came to Yang Zhen's side. Looking at the eerie environment around them, they both drew their long swords.
The two cats, Shameless Cat and Flirtatious Chicken, looked at each other and moved closer to Yang Zhen. The Shameless Cat even climbed onto Yang Zhen's shoulder.
"Kid, this place is strange; it's probably more than just Holy Tomb."
Yang Zhen nodded, and was about to speak when the Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels suddenly pointed to a spot not far ahead and said, "Look over there!"
Upon hearing the words of the Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels, Yang Zhen looked up and was immediately taken aback.
A group of women, dressed in long dresses similar to those of ancient maids from the Eastern capital of a blue planet, slowly passed by like a long, ghostly snake. Their lifelike faces, with even empty pupils visible, were so vivid that they seemed to be alive.
To everyone's great surprise, these women had no life force whatsoever. Even Yang Zhen, with his keen senses, could not detect any living beings.
Clearly, these women are not living beings; they might be... ghosts?
Yang Zhen's eyes lit up. Having grown up surrounded by ghost culture, he was genuinely excited to finally see a ghost.
These women passed by slowly, without any aura, just like the Golden Demon God Guards Yang Zhen had first seen in the Demon God Territory.
Feng Wuya's face showed a solemn expression as he said, "How could Condensed Spirit appear here? Everyone be careful. Most secret treasures where Condensed Spirit appears are fraught with danger and must have extremely Elder Gu restrictions."
So this thing is called Condensed Spirit?
Yang Zhen watched the woman walk away with great curiosity and asked, "Senior, how is Condensed Spirit formed?"
Feng Wuya glanced at Yang Zhen and said with a smile, "In the era you were born into, this kind of technique has almost been lost. Condensed Spirit is a manifestation of power, a method used by some powerful beings to contend with heaven and earth. To form Condensed Spirit, it is simply impossible to do so in less than tens of thousands of years."
"So what exactly is this thing used for?" Yang Zhen was quite curious about this, but it sounded rather useless.
Feng Wuya smiled and said, "Deceiving the heavens and the sea, although this is a Holy Tomb, the appearance of Condensed Spirit means that this Great Saint is not truly dead; he is about to be reincarnated."
Upon hearing the word "reincarnation, "Hua Youyue's expression shifted, and she gave the women a deep look.
Yang Zhen looked at Hua Youyue. This was the second time Yang Zhen had heard the concept of reincarnation and rebirth, besides Hua Youyue.
If someone had told Yang Zhen about the possibility of reincarnation when he first came into this world, Yang Zhen would have scoffed. But after his experience with Hua Youyue, Yang Zhen no longer doubted the existence of reincarnation.
The Shameless Cat's eyes darted around, and it whispered in Yang Zhen's ear, "Kid, getting reincarnated isn't easy. There must be something good in here."
Yang Zhen slapped the Shameless Cat on the head and said, "You need to be alive to get good stuff, do you really think this Sage of Saunter is a brainless brute?"
"Aren't you one?" The Shameless Cat looked at him with disdain. Seeing Yang Zhen's hand coming towards him again, he hurriedly said, "Kid, use your genius brain to think about it. The Great Saint's rebirth is such a difficult thing, and there are so many good things inside. The Demon Sect obviously wouldn't be stupid enough to brainwash a Great Saint. They're definitely after the treasures. If you don't take them, what if the Demon Sect takes them? Wouldn't that be a loss?"
Yang Zhen thought about it and realized it made sense. He ruffled the Shameless Cat's hair and said, "That won't do. Even if we don't take the good stuff here, we can't let the Demon Sect take it away like this. This Sage of Saunter has decided to help this Great Saint guard these good things."
"That's right, that's what I think too!" The Shameless Cat said with an air of righteous indignation.
Yang Zhen nodded in deep agreement and said, "Think about it, it's already incredibly difficult for the Great Saint to find these treasures of heaven and earth to be reborn. Whether he can even be reborn is uncertain. What if he can be reborn, but fails because those people from the Demon Sect take everything away? Then those people from the Demon Sect are too heartless. Alas, this Sage of Saunter is still too kind."
"So?" The Shameless Cat blinked.
"Therefore, we must obtain and safeguard these treasures of heaven and earth before the Demon Sect finds them."
Yang Zhen spoke with utmost seriousness, then turned to Feng Wuya and the others, saying, "Seniors, would you be willing to help this Great Saint guard these treasures of heaven and earth?"
Feng Wuya wore a half-smile, then walked forward and said, "Boy, there are no outsiders here!"
The others laughed heartily and all followed.
Yang Zhen, standing behind the group, curled his lip and said, "No wonder these guys were forced to sleep for so long by God."
The Shameless Cat was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Why?"
Yang Zhen clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "If you do something immoral and don't even have a decent reason for it, and you don't even respect yourself, how can God care?"
The Shameless Cat's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and it asked with a strange look, "This will work?"
"Certainly!"
Feng Wuya and the others had already gone inside, and Yang Zhen hurriedly followed behind.
The Shameless Cat looked up at the sky and muttered to itself, "Perhaps... there's some truth to that?"
A chilling aura emanated from Demon Wind Cliff; the place was not far from the overwhelming holy light.
The group walked towards the direction of the Holy Light, and it was clear that the Holy Tomb was near the Holy Light.
The closer Yang Zhen got to the holy light, the more strange a feeling arose in his heart. It was as if this place had been artificially altered, with even the changes in heaven and earth being taken into account.
Han Yan'er suddenly whispered, approached Yang Zhen, and said with a smile, " Yang Zhen, this place subtly corresponds to the changes in Star Technique."
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "I can sense a little bit of it, but there are other changes as well. It seems that this Great Saint is well-versed in the mysteries of heaven and earth. Be careful."
Han Yan'er said softly, "I have a feeling that the Great Saint Sage is about to wake up."
"What?" Yang Zhen exclaimed in surprise, "The Great Saint is about to wake up? Does that mean there will be one more Great Saint in the world?"
Oh my, the first Great Saint! Does that mean he can walk sideways now?
The Shameless Cat curled its lip and said, "Kid, even if the Great Saint awakens, he won't immediately recover to his Great Saint Sage level. He'll just be much higher in cultivation than us, so it's best to be careful."
The Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels turned to look at Yang Zhen and said, " Xin Hai and the others may already know of our arrival. Now it's up to us and the Demon Sect to see who can find the Holy Tomb first."
Just as Yang Zhen was about to speak, a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from not far ahead, as if something was about to explode. The terrifying and violent aura caused everyone's expression to change drastically.
Yang Zhen felt a chill run down his spine. This aura was truly terrifying, even more so than the Heavenly Wrath he had overcome a few days ago.
Just as Yang Zhen to rush over to see what was going on, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the place where the aura had erupted.
" Xin Hai!"
Feng Wuya's expression changed, and he hurriedly rushed forward.
Yang Zhen raised an eyebrow, and with Skyward Cannon roar, he instantly surpassed Feng Wuya: "That old bastard must have gotten a treasure, he's smiling so happily."
