This is really going to be exciting!
There are actually people in the Heaven and Earth Chasm?
Yang Zhen squinted at the boundless Heaven and Earth Chasm; this was a truly Opening Heaven feat of creation.
If it was the work of nature, that would be better. But if some powerful being appeared inside and tore open the void, forcibly pushing out the banished realm, what chance would anyone else in the Cultivation World have?
Let alone the Cultivation World, even those sacred lands that have been dormant since the Great Wilderness era, Feng Wuya and others can no longer cause any trouble.
Tearing open the void requires at least a Saint Realm expert or higher, and it's not something that just one or two people can do.
For a moment, everyone present felt a sense of unease, exchanging worried glances.
Yang Zhen grinned and said, "Let's not worry about that for now. On the way here, I saw a lot of people heading this way, including many powerful figures from other continents. Are people from the Northern Region of the East Sea also here?"
Feng Wuya nodded and said, "It's not just the people from the East Sea and Northern Region; the people from the Central Court have also come. Among them, the people from the Holy Court are the most impressive, with more than ten experts at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm alone."
Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked in surprise, "What is the Holy Court? Does the Central Court have such a powerful sect?"
The Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels curled his lip and said, "Boy, you're just making a fuss over nothing. Although the Holy Court seems powerful, it's only a mainstay in the Great Wilderness World. There are far more powerful forces you haven't seen yet. The Cultivation World is about to get lively, so you'd better rein in your temper."
Yang Zhen laughed heartily and said, "I'm the most low-key person ever!"
The Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels, with a "I don't believe you" expression, solemnly said, "Boy, don't take my words lightly. The power of the Great Wilderness World is beyond the comprehension of cultivators from the Cultivation World. Even cultivators of the same level can be instantly killed due to the suppression of power. Some strange powers can even prevent the soul from escaping the body, leaving them to perish along with it."
Gou Shengtian to the side, gasped and stared at Yang Zhen, saying, " Yang Zhen, you must heed the advice of your seniors. Those are all figures who will shake the world of cultivation. Once they appear, they will surely cause a sensation throughout the entire Cultivation World."
Yang Zhen was unconvinced. What kind of power was so bizarre that it could kill someone instantly?
If it were a battle between cultivators at the Earthly Realm, Yang Zhen could understand it. After all, they had cultivated to this level and had never heard of a powerhouse above the Heavenly Cycle Realm taking someone's life with a single move, even destroying their soul.
The Shameless Cat seemed to see that Yang Zhen didn't care, and chuckled, saying, "Kid, that's true. The Myriad Races Great Wilderness World is teeming with all kinds of races. You've seen people of other races before. Their strange powers might just take your life while you're sleeping."
Yang Zhen was startled. Something that could kill someone while they were sleeping?
Feng Wuya gave the Shameless Cat a meaningful look, then said to Yang Zhen, "What the Shameless Cat said is right. There was a time in the Great Wilderness World when almost all cultivators dared not sleep, simply because a strange thing happened."
"What is it?"
Those who had never heard of this story all looked at Feng Wuya with curiosity, while those who had heard of it all looked lingering fear.
Even Hua Youyue seemed to remember something, her expression turning serious. Although she didn't speak, she clearly knew about what had happened.
Feng Wuya took a deep breath and said, "In the past, the Great You Dynasty had a short-lived sect that could Spirit Wandering through Heaven and Earth in an instant. It once destroyed three major sects in one night, leaving no survivors, and these people did not have any wounds on their bodies!"
Yang Zhen's eyes widened suddenly, staring at Feng Wuya.
Although I've never heard of the Great You Dynasty, and I don't know which three major sects this short-lived sect destroyed, the fact that it caused such a sensation means that these three major sects must not be some unknown small sect like the Shangyuan Sect.
As expected, Feng Wuya's face showed a strange expression, and he continued, "Two of the sects are top-tier sects like the Holy Court."
I dug up a huge patch of grass!
Yang Zhen was genuinely surprised this time.
A major sect like the Holy Court?
Doesn't that mean that at least thirty Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts died overnight?
How exactly did they manage to do that?
"What's the name of this short-lived sect?" Yang Zhen asked with a look of curiosity.
Feng Wuya pondered for a moment, then said, "It was a force called Shadow Sect. From its Shadow Sect to its disappearance, no one knew how many people were in the Shadow Sect Shadow Sect, who its leader was, or how it appeared or disappeared. Shadow Sect..."
At this point, Feng Wuya's face showed a strange expression. He glanced at the Shameless Cat before continuing, "However, a hundred years later, someone made a fairly credible conjecture: the three sects that were wiped out all participated in a massacre two hundred years ago."
Yang Zhen exclaimed, "This is clearly a classic case of 'a gentleman takes his revenge even after a hundred years.' Did the Shadow Sect really disappear completely after that?"
"Yes, completely vanished. No trace remained in the Great Wilderness World, leaving only a series of legends and a Cultivation Method called Shadow Slaying."
Mentioning the Shadow Slaying Cultivation Method, even Feng Wuya showed interest. Clearly, this Shadow Slaying was the culprit that destroyed three major sects overnight.
Yang Zhen was also very interested in Shadow Slaying, but it was clear from Feng Wuya's expression and the reactions of the others that this Cultivation Method had probably been lost to time.
After all, two or three thousand years have passed. Even if the Shadow Sect has inherited the Cultivation Method, Shadow Slaying has probably been cultivated to a point where it is no longer as powerful as it once was.
This was just a minor incident, but it successfully made Yang Zhen feel a little threatened.
After all, the Myriad Races Great Wilderness World is home to countless races, various factions, and all sorts of powers. Perhaps a truly magnificent era is about to begin.
Seeing the expression on Yang Zhen's face, Feng Wuya laughed and said, "Kid, there's no need to be so nervous. After all, the Shadow Sect has disappeared. However, it is still a kind of deterrent force. So, in the future, just be careful and don't offend any random people. Even if some forces sound terrifying, the forces between heaven and earth are always mutually restraining, and this has not changed in tens of thousands of years."
Yang Zhen suddenly realized why the Great Wilderness World could develop and thrive for so long despite such terrifying power; the root of the problem lay with heaven and earth.
Thus, it seems that the existence of the Principle of Heaven and Earth is not only to protect heaven and earth from being destroyed by overly powerful beings, but also to protect those very weak races and to maintain a balance of power among them.
At this moment, the Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels suddenly spoke up, "Boy, are you interested in taking a look at the Great Spring Holy Land?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked, "What are you going to that godforsaken place for?"
The Great Spring Holy Land —isn't that the very holy land where those seven Heavenly Cycle Realm who were just scared away reside?
Yang Zhen did want to visit the Great Spring Holy Land. After all, they had bullied them right on their doorstep, so it wouldn't be right not to collect some rent. If word got out, people would think that the Shangyuan Sect was a pushover, easily bullied by any holy land.
However, the situation is still unclear, and the Heaven and Earth Chasm is still expanding rapidly. Who knows when this thing will suddenly stop? Perhaps this great era is about to begin. At this time, it is obviously not a good time to go to the Great Spring Holy Land.
That being said, based on Yang Zhen's understanding of the Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels, the Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels wouldn't be so eager if there weren't any benefits involved.
This is what they mean by "not visiting the temple unless there's a reason."
Sure enough, the Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels chuckled and said, "Your Shangyuan Sect is in such a dilapidated state that it will definitely undergo a major renovation and re-establish itself. The reason I recommended that you visit the Great Spring Holy Land is because I suddenly remembered that the Great Spring Holy Land seems to have an High Antiquity formation that would be very suitable for using as a mountain-protecting formation."
Yang Zhen laughed and said, "I'm not Sage of Saunter, but when it comes to Sage of Saunter -protecting formations, I've never backed down."
This isn't Yang Zhen bragging. With the Heavenly Book: Profound Principles Chapter and the Heavenly Book: Earth Treasury Chapter in hand, although it would be somewhat troublesome for Yang Zhen to set up a mountain-protecting formation, the formation he did set up would not be something that a powerhouse like the Celestial Phenomenon Realm could easily destroy.
A protective array capable of withstanding the attacks of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert is something that seems to have never appeared in the Cultivation World before.
This is Yang Zhen strength!
Yang Zhen was smug, Feng Wuya wore a half-smile and said to Yang Zhen, "Boy, I know you are quite accomplished in the art of geomancy, but precisely because of that, you should listen to the High Antiquity formation of the Great Spring Holy Land before making a decision."
"What kind of formation is this? It's so powerful!" Yang Zhen was genuinely curious.
It's one thing for the Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels Venerables to be giving bad advice, but even someone as capable as Feng Wuya is recommending the High Antiquity formation of the Great Spring Holy Land. It seems that this so-called High Antiquity formation must have something unique about it.
Feng Wuya smiled and said, "Although the Great Spring Holy Land is not a particularly powerful existence, it has left behind a legend. It is said that the High Antiquity mountain-protecting formation once successfully withstood the combined attacks of three Saint Realm experts. Would you like such a formation?"
"No, even the most powerful High Antiquity formation has no interest in this Sage of Saunter!"
Yang Zhen glared, turned around and jumped off the stool. Seeing the astonished expressions of the group around him, he turned and left.
"Boy, what are you going to do?" Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels asked with a curious expression.
The others also looked at Yang Zhen with curiosity, their faces filled with bewilderment.
Yang Zhen glanced back at the crowd, gritting his teeth as he said, "Those bastards from the Great Spring Holy Land have come knocking on our door! When have I, this Sage of Saunter, ever suffered such a loss? What are we going there for? Of course, we're going to reason with them!"
At this point, Yang Zhen had already left, but then turned back, gripping the doorframe, and asked, "How do we get there?"
Feng Wuya Wuyai laughed heartily, stood up from his seat, and said, "No need for a big fuss, let's just go directly there."
Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels and the others stood up one after another, saying, "Well said! They've come to our doorstep. If we don't try to reason with them, they'll really think we old fogies are just good-for-nothings."
Yang Zhen grinned, turned to leave, and almost bumped into someone.
Upon seeing who it was, Yang Zhen looked surprised. "Why are you here?"
Yue Yingying, standing at the door, turned her head and slowly said, "I'll go with you."
