The next morning, Yang Zhen, feeling refreshed, led Han Yan'er and the Shameless Cat out of White Cloud Mountain and headed towards the far west.
Han Yan'er didn't say a word the whole way, only occasionally glancing at Yang Zhen with wide eyes, which left Yang Zhen somewhat confused.
When a woman suddenly becomes inexplicably strange, it's best not to provoke her. This was a survival instinct that Yang Zhen had cultivated over the years. So when Han Yan'er glared at him, Yang Zhen would grin. After smiling so much, Han Yan'er's glare turned into eye rolls.
"That's all right now," Yang Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her grin widening even further.
The rascal, that Shameless Cat, seemed quite excited, perching on Yang Zhen's shoulder and constantly talking about things in the Great Wilderness World. After a while, Han Yan'er listened with great interest.
In mid-air, the Great Deficiency Sword could easily accommodate two people. Yang Zhen pulled the Shameless Cat off his shoulder and placed it on the Great Deficiency Sword, asking curiously, "You mean, cultivators in the Great Wilderness World cultivate about five times faster than cultivators in the Cultivation World?"
The Shameless Cat curled its lip and lay on the Great Deficiency Sword, saying, "This is just a speed comparison between ordinary cultivators. If someone is a genius, they can cultivate about ten times faster than cultivators in your Cultivation World."
Yang Zhen and Han Yan'er stared in disbelief, exchanging bewildered glances.
The cultivation speed in the Cultivation World is already very fast. Mastering power too quickly is not a good thing. How could the two of them have imagined that cultivators in the Great Wilderness Era would cultivate even faster? This is simply asking for trouble.
What does a tenfold increase in cultivation speed mean?
Yang Zhen couldn't imagine that the speed of that lightning strike must have been incredibly intense.
Seeing that Yang Zhen and Han Yan'er looked somewhat skeptical, the Shameless Cat explained, "Back then, the rules of heaven and earth were much more complete than they are now. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant, and various inheritances were relatively complete. Unlike the Shangyuan Sect, which didn't even have a decent Heaven-level Cultivation Method. Not to mention forces like the Demon God Territory and the Great You Dynasty, even ordinary sects in the Great Wilderness World could easily produce one or two Saint-level Cultivation Method."
Yang Zhen was genuinely surprised this time. He knew that the Cultivation Method he was currently practicing was only a Saint- Yang Zhen Cultivation Method, which he had perfected through his extraordinary talent. It was somewhat disheartening that someone else could so easily take out something he had worked so hard to obtain.
Seeing the Sage of Saunter Shameless Cat's ambiguous smile, Yang Zhen asked curiously, "What level would my cultivation speed be considered in the Great Wilderness era?"
"You?" The Shameless Cat sized Yang Zhen up and down, then said, "You're only average."
"Damn!" Yang Zhen's Sage of Saunter widened in shock. "My cultivation speed is only considered average in the Great Wilderness Era? How fast is top-tier cultivation speed?"
The Shameless Cat glanced at Yang Zhen and said, "Basically, people your age should be around the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Eighth Heavenly Layer."
"Grass!"
Yang Zhen was a little incredulous. He had only been cultivating for a few years, and counting the previous Yang Zhen, it had only been five years at most. How could he have already reached the Celestial Phenomenon Realm?
If he had a few more years, wouldn't he become the Great Saint?
"Damn it, you're not kidding me, are you? If cultivation speed is this fast, why does the Great You Dynasty only have a dozen or so Half-Step Great Saint, and not even Great Saint?"
"It's not that it doesn't exist, but rather that it hasn't awakened yet, or rather, it's already dead!" The Shameless Cat looked at Yang Zhen with a serious expression and said, "With your talent for cultivation, you can act recklessly and even do whatever you want in the Cultivation World. But now that the world has just been created, who knows where similar chasms might appear. With the arrival of the Great Wilderness Era, your recklessness will be dangerous."
Yang Zhen said irritably, "Didn't you tell me to cause trouble?"
"Things are different now!" The Shameless Cat glared and said, "I sent you to cause trouble so you could quickly comprehend the Dao, but who knew you, you bastard, would be so unacceptable to Heaven and Earth Rejection? This vast world can't even accommodate your Dao, how can you cause trouble now?"
Yang Zhen was speechless for a moment. He was also helpless in this matter. It wasn't Laozi own choice to be rejected by Heaven and Earth Rejection, so why blame him?
In fact, Yang Zhen had always been pondering that the reason he was not accepted by Heaven and Earth Rejection might be because he did not belong to this world. If it were the original Yang Zhen, this situation would probably not exist.
But so what if the Heaven and Earth Rejection Heaven and Earth Rejection? It's not a big deal. If the world could accept him, he probably wouldn't have such an exaggerated, almost cheat-like talent.
Seeing Yang Zhen's nonchalant attitude, the Shameless Cat stood up, stared at Yang Zhen for a long time, and said with a sneer, "I won't advise you. Once you've seen enough geniuses from the Great Wilderness Era, you'll understand how serious what I'm saying is."
Han Yan'er glared at Yang Zhen and said, "Just listen to that Shameless Cat and stop causing trouble. If you really mess with someone you can't afford to offend, who will save you?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said to Han Yan'er with a serious expression, "Don't worry, I'm a very low-key person."
"You!"
Han Yan'er was furious and glared at Yang Zhen, saying, "What were you doing in my sister's room last night?"
Yang Zhen immediately sensed danger. Driven by a man's survival instinct, Yang Zhen patted his chest and said, "The young lady and I are as clear as day. We talked all night by candlelight, and it was truly a case of 'we met too late,' a very pleasant conversation, and we treated each other with utmost respect..."
"Pah!" Han Yan'er glared at Yang Zhen and spat at him. Then, as if remembering something, her fair face flushed slightly, and she glared again, saying, "No one would believe you."
The Shameless Cat, who had been dozing nearby, suddenly stood up and said with a serious expression, "Kid, something seems strange up ahead."
Yang Zhen was taken aback, then suddenly stood up, saying with high spirits, "When you're out in the world, you need the strange. There's always something fishy going on. The stranger the better. The stranger the better, the more it proves something's up. As a fine young man of the 21st century, I should stand up for justice... Never mind, let's stop making things up and go take a look."
Han Yan'er and Shameless Cat stared blankly at the proud and arrogant Yang Zhen, exchanging bewildered glances.
Not far ahead, from a bottomless Abyss, emanated an eerie aura.
If you get closer, you'll discover that a colossal tree has grown out of the endless Abyss.
The giant tree was strong and powerful, with branches and thorns everywhere, making it look extremely ferocious and terrifying. The dense thicket was covered with golden leaves, which made a sound like clashing metal when they were blown by the wind.
The giant tree should have reached the sky, but it grew in an endless Abyss. Even so, its canopy resembled a vast primeval forest, leaving people speechless.
As Yang Zhen and his companions drew closer, they could hear the sounds of thousands of troops clashing, the deafening clang of clashing weapons, and the faint roars that seemed to echo from a charging army.
Yang Zhen and Han Yan'er exchanged a glance, and exclaimed in unison, "So big!"
What a huge tree!
Within the giant tree, a young couple, their faces serene and composed, moved swiftly through the canopy. The young woman, her face veiled, her back graceful and elegant, suddenly spoke, " Senior Brother Ren, is it true that the Yang Zhen you mentioned, who single-handedly and single-handedly cleaved through the Threefold Heavenly Wrath?"
Senior Brother Ren, gentle and refined, maintained an elegant demeanor even as he moved among the treetops. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "If the rumors are true, they must be true. This Yang Zhen indeed no simple man."
The young woman chuckled and said, "I'm quite curious about Yang Zhen. I didn't expect there to be someone in this world who would earn such high regard from Senior Brother Ren."
Senior Brother Ren chuckled and said, " Junior Sister Lu, you flatter me. The world is vast, and there are countless talented and extraordinary people. It's not surprising that a Yang Zhen would emerge in the Cultivation World."
Achoo!
Yang Zhen rubbed his nose, looking at the golden canopy of the giant tree with a frustrated expression, and muttered to himself, "Oh no, is this Sage of Saunter allergic to this stuff?"
