Yang Zhen was a little curious. Why didn't someone as handsome as him have fans everywhere? Instead, why were people all trying to strangle him?
Look at this Senior Brother Yang. We share the same surname, Yang, but just mentioning his name makes the couple in front of us look at each other with admiration.
This little guy named Yang Chen seemed incredibly reckless. But after talking about Senior Brother Yang, he stopped recklessly attempting to break through the Void Rift and instead sat down on the ground, chatting with his senior sister about Senior Brother Yang.
"Senior sister, do you think I can become a legend in the Youzhou Continent, just like Senior Brother Yang?"
Seeing the excited look on Yang Chen's face, the senior sister glared at Yang Chen and said, "Don't let the sect leader hear you say that."
Yang Chen was stunned and asked, "Why?"
The senior sister gave a strange smile and said, "You haven't been here long enough to know, but in the entire sect, only the sect leader admires Senior Brother Yang the most, and she won't tolerate anyone saying anything bad about him."
A look of shock flashed across Yang Chen's face as he said, "Our sect leader is a genius. She's already Spirit Transformation Realm expert at such a young age. The talent of everyone in the entire sect combined can't compare to hers. Could it be that Senior Brother Yang's talent is even higher than our sect leader's?"
"Greater, much greater. According to the sect leader herself, in front of Senior Brother Yang, she's just like an ordinary person—no, even less than an ordinary person."
Yang Chen took a deep breath, stood up, and stood before the void chasm, saying, "Senior Brother Yang has always been my role model. From now on, I, Yang Chen, will definitely cultivate diligently and strive to see Senior Brother Yang as soon as possible. If I break this oath, may I be struck down by heaven and earth."
Yang Zhen's heart stirred upon hearing this. For some reason, he seemed to sense something emanating from Yang Chen, a faint, wisp-like aura, tens of thousands of times weaker than a strand of hair, rushing towards him.
This sudden change startled Yang Zhen, who hurriedly tried to dodge, but a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face.
When that invisible aura entered Yang Zhen's body, Yang Zhen was completely stunned.
What's this?
The Power of Faith?
There was no Heaven-Deceiving Curtain this place, and although Yang Zhen Yang Zhen not see the faint thread of energy, he could sense it from his intuition. That thread was none other than the Power of Faith.
Why is this little guy randomly unleashing his Power of Faith?
He uttered grand pronouncements, yet his Power of Faith drifted aimlessly, ultimately being absorbed into Yang Zhen's body—a phenomenon Yang Zhen had never witnessed before.
Is my talent really that monstrous?
It even absorbed the Power of Faith.
Boom--!
A deafening roar resounded, and the raging lightning in mid-air seemed to solidify, startling Yang Zhen.
He's not cursing God now, not even in his heart.
If that's the case, then this solidified lightning wasn't generated by him.
From within the clouds, Yang Zhen looked down at the young man, who was full of vigor and high spirits. Although his body was covered in bloodstains, it could not conceal the young man's heroic spirit.
The saying "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river" perfectly captures the proverb "Never underestimate a young person's potential."
Yang Zhen couldn't help but sigh, "It's so good to be young."
When the senior sister saw the sudden burst of lightning in mid-air, which nearly materialized into a bolt of lightning that struck Yang Chen dead, her expression changed drastically. She rushed forward and covered Yang Chen's mouth, saying, "Are you crazy? What kind of oath are you making at a time like this? I know you admire Senior Brother Yang the most, but what if this causes a change in the Heaven and Earth Chasm, swallowing us up? How will we find the sect then?"
Yang Chen's face also showed surprise and uncertainty. He looked at the lightning snake that was gradually stabilizing in mid-air with lingering fear, and said with a look of lingering fear, "Senior Sister, let's leave here first."
Yang Zhen nodded to himself. Although this kid was a bit reckless, he was still considerate of the feelings of those around him. Knowing that he couldn't break in and that staying here would probably cause trouble, he decisively decided to leave.
This was just a minor incident. Originally, Yang Zhen didn't plan to show himself, but now that he was in an unfamiliar place and there had been a strange change in the world, finding White Cloud Mountain was as difficult as climbing to the sky. So he decided to go down and ask for directions, and also find out what had happened here.
From their conversation, Yang Zhen could easily deduce that these two people seemed to have witnessed the changes in the world firsthand. In that case, Yang Zhen might be able to deduce from them what changes had actually occurred here.
Although Yang Zhen's Earth Treasury Technique and Profound Principles Chapter can deduce many changes in the Heaven and Earth Numeracy, he is somewhat powerless in the face of such a terrifying gap.
Perhaps Yang Zhen's cultivation level was not high enough, or perhaps his understanding of the Yang Zhen Heavenly Book had not reached a deeper level. In any case, Yang Zhen was somewhat at a loss in the face of this great change in the world.
Just as Yang Zhen was about to go down, some more presences came from not far away.
Yang Zhen frowned. The aura emanating from these people made him feel uncomfortable; they were far too arrogant. However, he could sense that although their cultivation level wasn't high, their realm was still quite decent.
In a mountain hollow not far away, several young disciples, exuding an imposing aura and radiating a sharp expression, walked towards this place like human swords.
Yang Zhen looked around but still didn't recognize a single person. However, the aura emanating from these people seemed somewhat familiar, though Yang Zhen couldn't quite place where he had seen them before.
After all, Yang Zhen hadn't spent much time on the Youzhou Continent, and he really didn't know anything about the power distribution there.
The group consisted of three men and two women. One of the women, in particular, was adorned with a long, icy sword that seemed to emanate from her. She was as cold as an iceberg, and her aura was extremely sharp, giving people a chilling feeling as if they had thorns in their backs.
What kind of Cultivation Method did this interesting group of people practice to be able to transform themselves into longswords?
Yang Zhen sensed it briefly and immediately understood that the Cultivation Method these people practiced must be related to longswords. All their advancements were based on their understanding of Swordsmanship, which could be considered a unique approach.
At this moment, the three men and two women saw Yang Chen and his two fellow disciples, and their faces immediately showed a half-smile.
"A grudge?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback, then sat down with interest; this was indeed interesting.
While everyone else is watching battles between gods, Yang Zhen plans to enjoy a fight between ordinary people.
These people may have some talent, but they are nothing compared to Yang Zhen. However, even cultivators with low cultivation levels have their own Dao Resonance, even if they haven't Dao Entry.
With Yang Zhen's talent, he could improve his Dao Intent by observing these people and events in his daily life.
Yang Chen and his fellow disciples' expressions changed upon seeing the newcomers.
Yang Chen, in particular, instinctively shielded his senior sister behind him and said in a deep voice, "Senior sister, you go first, I'll hold them off."
Among the three men and two women, a young man dressed in flashy clothes sneered and said, " Yang Chen, do you think you can protect Li Ruxue in front of us?"
Yang Chen grinned, staring at the young man who had spoken, and said, " Duan Langwen, you can give it a try."
Upon hearing the name Duan Langwen, Yang Zhen's eyes widened, and he almost fell from mid-air.
Duan Langwen?
That sounds familiar... Could it be related to Duan Langcai some way?
Wencai, Wencai, are these two brothers?
Yang Zhen lay on the Great Deficiency Sword and looked down. Sure enough, he saw a man who looked three parts like Duan Langcai, looking at Yang Chen with a mocking expression. His expression Duan Langcai's back then.
The young disciple, known as Duan Langwen, laughed heartily, and suddenly a burst of light erupted from the longsword in his hand— the Three Origins Ghost Shadow Sword?
Yang Zhen was genuinely surprised this time. He hadn't expected that someone from the Sword Attendant Sect would have mastered the Three Origins Ghost Shadow Sword in such a short period of time.
This Duan Langwen the Three Origins Ghost Shadow Sword, which, while somewhat flashy and impractical, is not fundamentally flawed; it simply contains some dross.
Yang Zhen was genuinely curious and looked at Duan Langwen with great interest.
boom--!
With the arrival of the Three Elements, a hundred ghosts roam the night, and the terrifying air currents become sinister, as if a hundred ghosts are truly swirling in the air.
Upon seeing Duan Langwen unleash the Three Origins Ghost Shadow Sword, the other disciples of the Sword Attendant Sect all stepped aside, coldly watching the scene unfold. Not only did they not stop him, but they also wore expressions of schadenfreude. Even the talented but aloof woman merely glanced at him indifferently, without making any attempt to intervene.
The Duan Langwen before them was at the Tribulation Transcendence Fifth Heavenly Layer, almost the same as Yang Chen, but slightly higher than Li Ruxue.
However, Yang Chen is currently seriously injured, and his strength has greatly decreased!
Li Ruxue's face was ashen as she stared at Duan Langwen. She drew her longsword, took a deep breath, and said to Yang Chen, "Junior brother, find a way to leave here and inform our fellow disciples. These people from the Sword Attendant Sect have come with ill intentions. If I'm not mistaken, these five are only a part of their group; they're here to ambush you and me."
Yang Chen laughed heartily, turned around and glanced at Li Ruxue. Suddenly, a terrifying wave of energy erupted from the long sword in his hand. Amidst the raging wind and surging thunder, terrifying wind and thunder forces swirled around Yang Chen.
The Great Evolution Wind and Thunder Sword!
Yang Zhen exclaimed "Oh!" and sat up straight. This was the first martial art that Yang Zhen had perfected since coming to the Cultivation World, and he never expected to see it here today.
Moreover, Yang Zhen finally realized that the Senior Brother Yang that Yang Chen and Li Ruxue were talking about was probably none other than himself, the handsome Yang Zhen!
The reason Yang Zhen was able to absorb the Power of Faith released by Yang Chen was not because his talent was so extraordinary that it was almost heaven-defying, but because this Power of Faith was originally released by Yang Chen to Yang Zhen.
Good heavens!
Yang Zhen took a deep breath. If he still didn't understand the identities of Yang Chen and Li Ruxue, Yang Zhen might as well just fall off the Great Deficiency Sword and die.
Yang Zhen was happy, genuinely happy.
Just when he was worried about not being able to find the Shangyuan Sect, he ran into two disciples of the Shangyuan Sect, two of whom he had never heard of or seen before. It seems that the Shangyuan Sect is doing quite well.
It's just unknown to what extent Yang Chen has mastered the Great Evolution Wind and Thunder Sword.
When it comes to the Great Evolution Wind and Thunder Sword, Yang Zhen can say without any modesty that he understands Great Evolution Wind and Thunder Sword better than even the Great Evolution Wind and Thunder Sword Shangyuan Sect who created it.
Rumble!
Thunder surged in mid-air, and a fierce wind arose. Without waiting for Li Ruxue to respond, Yang Chen leaped forward.
"Court death!"
Duan Langwen Three Origins Ghost Shadow Sword in his hand suddenly transformed into thousands of phantom images, rushing towards Yang Chen.
