When Yang Zhen woke up, it was already the morning of the third day.
The raging power within his body had stabilized. After examining himself internally, Yang Zhen grinned.
The Celestial Phenomenon Realm First Heavenly Layer is neither too high nor too low. With Yang Zhen's current physical strength and realm, he can completely handle it. Going any higher would be a bit of a loss, and going any lower... well, that's obvious. After making such a big commotion, if he still can't break through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, then it would be a huge waste of the three whole days of hard work he spent sleeping.
Feng Wuya had already left with his men, which didn't surprise Yang Zhen. What surprised Yang Zhen was that Old Man Leaping Dragon had actually set off back to the East Sea East Sea, saying he needed to deal with some matters there.
Heavenly Venerable Shangwu was alone and had nothing else to do, he and Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels stayed behind and guarded Yang Zhen and Shangyuan Sect for the past few days.
The Shangyuan Sect suffered a severe blow, and the impact it had endured during this period was simply too strong. Yang Zhen wondered Gou Shengtian was on the verge of depression.
Since Yang Zhen left behind a batch of resources at the Shangyuan Sect and set up an array that even the Celestial Phenomenon Realm could not shake, the Shangyuan Sect has been developing rapidly and soon became the leading sect in the Youzhou Continent.
The sudden Heaven and Earth Chasm and earth split White Cloud Mountain in two. Gou Shengtian and the others thought that Shangyuan Sect had been swallowed up by heaven and earth and that everyone had disappeared into the void. They were dejected and listless, especially Gou Shengtian, who was so ashamed that he could hardly face his ancestors. He was so depressed that he was almost numb.
Of the remaining half of the Shangyuan Sect, only some outer disciples and the two newly promoted core disciples, Yang Zhen and Li Ruxue, were left. If it weren't for the fact that he still had some connections, Gou Shengtian would have almost no will to live.
Things only took a turn for the better when Yang Zhen arrived, because Yang Zhen's words completely ignited Gou Shengtian's hope.
It turns out that this Heaven and Earth Chasm was just a crack that opened up a space between heaven and earth. The remaining half of White Cloud Mountain was likely not swallowed into the void, but rather pushed to the far west of the Youzhou Continent.
In that case, Lu Chenghui and the others might not be dead!
Gou Shengtian was so excited; in all his long life, he had never felt so thrilled and relieved after hearing this news.
Before Gou Shengtian could even catch his breath, the terrifying Great You Dynasty and Chiding Dragon appeared before the world, shattering all the fighting spirit that Gou Shengtian had finally mustered.
Those four guys were true Half-Step Great Saint Half-Step Great Saint, beings capable of destroying the entire White Cloud Mountain with a mere flick of their wrists.
And then Chiding Dragon, that world-destroying being, the legendary ferocious beast, which appeared right before his eyes.
This was something he had never even dared to dream of doing before, and it had just happened right before his eyes. At that moment, Gou Shengtian almost wanted to curse.
With such a powerful being and such terrifying changes to the world, how can the people of the Youzhou Continent possibly survive?
Gradually, Yang Zhen's performance excited Gou Shengtian again.
In less than ten days, Gou Shengtian was so stressed that he almost broke his old bones.
Amidst a flurry of information, Gou Shengtian, overwhelmed with worry, was focused solely on Yang Zhen waking up soon.
In this era of great change, although those at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm are no longer invincible, Yang Zhen is, after all, a native disciple of White Cloud Mountain. Having such a figure around provides a trump card, even when facing the Great You Dynasty, right?
In the past few days, Gou Shengtian has been treating Heavenly Venerable Shangwu and Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels like his ancestral masters. The two have also been generous in teaching the disciples of the Shangyuan Sect, throwing out all sorts of Cultivation Method, which makes Gou Shengtian a little embarrassed. However, he did not refuse, knowing in his heart that these were all the good fortunes given to him by the two of them because of Yang Zhen.
Only when Yang Zhen came out of the room did Gou Shengtian's old face show a slight smile. He quickly walked to Yang Zhen's side and said, "Thank goodness, you're finally awake."
Yang Zhen grinned, looked at the haggard Gou Shengtian, and asked, "Elder, what happened these past three days?"
Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er, who were standing nearby, had already told Yang Zhen what they knew. Yang Zhen's questioning of Gou Shengtian was merely to give Gou Shengtian some reassurance.
Gou Shengtian's smile grew even brighter as he looked at Yang Zhen with increasing satisfaction, "As expected of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm! With you here, I feel much more at ease. A lot has happened in these three days, too much to recount in a short time. Let's talk while we eat."
The family sat happily around a table, eating simple food, but Yang Zhen felt inexplicably relaxed and content.
Those two bastards, the Shameless Cat and the Flirtatious Chicken, are fighting again over a chicken leg.
Yang Zhen slapped him across the face, laughing and cursing, "You bastard, you Flirtatious Chicken, you actually eat chicken legs?"
The Flirtatious Chicken, with a haughty expression, curled its lip and said, " Golden Crow!"
That means he wasn't just an ordinary chicken, but a high and mighty Golden Crow.
The Shameless Cat cackled and seized the opportunity to snatch the chicken leg, swallowing it whole without even spitting out the bone.
Gou Shengtian recounted the events of the past three days, especially mentioning that when the Great You Dynasty was opening its doors wide and recruiting disciples, Yang Zhen asked with a strange expression, "Have any of the outer disciples of the Shangyuan Sect left?"
Gou Shengtian wore a proud expression and said, "Of the 130 outer disciples of the Shangyuan Sect, only one has left."
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "These guys won't regret it."
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Gou Shengtian's face showed relief, but then he said with a worried expression, " The Great You Dynasty was a super sect power 30,000 years ago. Their inheritance consists of Cultivation Method arts techniques from the Great Wilderness era, which are very attractive. Moreover, there are rumors that they have obtained the Emperor Treasure guarded by Chiding Dragon. Under such circumstances, I am worried..."
Yang Zhen, who was wolfing down a roast chicken, mumbled, "Don't listen to their nonsense. I know this better than anyone. What they got wasn't some Emperor Treasure at all; it was just some cheap imitation I concocted."
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.
Even the two rascals, the Shameless Cat and the Flirtatious Chicken, stopped fighting and turned around to look at Yang Zhen with blank expressions.
"Kid, what did you say?"
The Shameless Cat darted to Yang Zhen's side, sniffed him, and muttered to itself, "Damn it, no wonder I always felt a strange smell on you. That Emperor Treasure is actually on you?"
There were no outsiders present. Although Heavenly Venerable Five Wheels and Heavenly Venerable Shangwu were not from the Shangyuan Sect, even among the members of the Shangyuan Sect, there were many people with conflicting thoughts. Yang Zhen still trusted the two old men more.
Besides Yang Zhen and his group, only Gou Shengtian was in the room. Even Yang Chen and Li Ruxue were not there. Yang Zhen was naturally worried and immediately recounted the events in a vague manner.
When everyone heard that Granny from the Heavenly Moon Holy Land, Lu Haike, Half-Step Great Saint Lu Haike, and Huang Shixi from the Great You Dynasty had all turned and run away carrying the counterfeit Emperor Treasure treasures that Yang Zhen had made, they were completely petrified.
The Shameless Cat chuckled and said, "I told you, when did you stop caring about the treasure while fighting? It turns out you've already hidden it away. Take it out and let's see what it is."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they stared intently at Yang Zhen, especially Gou Shengtian, who seemed to have stopped breathing, his voice as hoarse as a bull's.
