Upon hearing the name White Cloud Mountain, Yang Zhen's heart skipped a beat; his bad premonition had finally come true.
When Yang Zhen was still cultivating on White Cloud Mountain, he didn't actually know that White Cloud Mountain was the Land of Nine Dragons. It was only after he obtained the Heavenly Book: Profound Principles Chapter that he suddenly discovered that White Cloud Mountain was indeed the Nine Dragons Momentum. By then, he was no longer on White Cloud Mountain.
The Nine Dragons Momentum in the Earth Treasury is the Nine Dragons Towering Heaven Formation, which can effectively gather the primordial energy of heaven and earth. Now, Yang Zhen has not yet made use of the Nine Dragons Formation before it was destroyed by the Opening Heaven the Great Fang Realm. Of course, judging from the current situation, the Land of Nine Dragons may not have been completely destroyed, otherwise the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin would not have landed in this place.
What made Yang Zhen want to curse was that he had kindly helped this guy named Yuan Xiuzhu, but of all places, this bastard had to end up in White Cloud Mountain.
Yang Zhen could imagine that White Cloud Mountain was probably already surrounded by thousands of cultivators.
The old sect leader Lu Chenghui, and the eldest senior sister were only at the Spirit Transformation Realm stage. One can imagine how distressed they must have felt in the face of this situation.
Especially now that even the Great You Dynasty has sent people, a powerful force that can easily dispatch Half-Step Great Saint, with them around, countless cultivators have absolutely no hope of obtaining the inheritance inside the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin.
Furthermore, it seems that the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin Heavenly Book: Life Assault Chapter, which Yang Zhen has already obtained. If these guys from the Great You Dynasty make a wasted trip and then take their anger out on White Cloud Mountain, half of White Cloud Mountain here simply cannot withstand the torment of these Half-Step Great Saint.
Seemingly noticing the strange expression on Yang Zhen's face, the cultivator exclaimed in surprise and said to Yang Zhen, "Why does this fellow Daoist look so pale? Could it be that you have some connection with White Cloud Mountain?"
It must be said that although this cultivator was spouting complete nonsense and not a single word of his was believable, he was quite astute. Few could read people from Yang Zhen's face. Yang Zhen couldn't help but take another look at the cultivator, grinning as he said, "I'm just a Rogue Cultivator, how could I possibly have any connection with White Cloud Mountain? But now that we know the exact location where the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin, haven't those Half-Step Great Saint already taken it for themselves? There's nothing left for us to do?"
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone present tensed up and their expressions turned grim.
Yes, now that we know the location of the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin, who would dare to harbor any ill intentions under the noses of the Great You Dynasty if two Half-Step Great Saint were to come?
Seeing the distressed expressions on the faces of the many cultivators, the cultivator suddenly burst into laughter and said, "You all don't know this, but it's said that the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin might contain a Great Saint, a true Saint Realm expert! How could such a powerful being's inheritance be so easily obtained by someone else?"
Upon hearing the cultivator's words, Yang Zhen stirred. After careful consideration, he realized that it was indeed true. If someone could obtain the inheritance so easily, then they wouldn't be a Saint Realm expert.
The others showed expressions of surprise and hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist, now that we have confirmed that you do indeed know some inside information, why don't you tell us what's so special about the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin, and why even the Half-Step Great Saint of the Great You Dynasty can't obtain this inheritance in such a short time?"
Hearing the questions from the crowd, the cultivator showed a pleased expression. After a moment of contemplation, he said in a deep voice, "This is yet another secret. Once it's out, you must not spread it around carelessly. Otherwise, if you offend the Great You Dynasty, even the largest sect as your backer won't be able to save your lives. You should all be aware of this."
The other cultivators nodded hastily, and Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat exchanged a glance and nodded repeatedly, looking as if they would never tell anyone.
Han Yan'er watched the two of them pretending without a word, but she understood that if she wanted to find out what was going on at White Cloud Mountain before heading there, she would really have to rely on this seemingly unreliable guy.
Upon seeing everyone's concern, the cultivator quickly spoke up, saying, "It's true that the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin landed on White Cloud Mountain, but countless restrictions have suddenly appeared around it. My master, along with his third cousin and the experts from the Great You Dynasty, investigated this. These restrictions are the work of Great Saint. Not to mention others, even Half-Step Great Saint Sage spent two days trying to break them but failed. Therefore, no one can get close to the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin now."
Hearing this, Yang Zhen finally felt relieved, stood up, and said with a smile, "That's normal. In other words, the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin inheritance is ultimately reserved for those with the right destiny. It's not something that can be easily obtained by whoever has the highest cultivation or the strongest fist?"
The crowd cheered; clearly, everyone present enjoyed hearing Yang Zhen's words.
The cultivator curled his lip and glanced sideways at Yang Zhen, saying, "That may be true, but even those with affinity are not all equal in strength or ability. Even the Great You Dynasty cannot enter through this restriction; how could ordinary cultivators like us possibly do so so easily?"
Upon hearing this, the cheers of the surrounding crowd abruptly ceased, and they exchanged bewildered glances, all looking somewhat bitter.
Yang Zhen walked up to the cultivator, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Fellow Daoist, you should still have dreams. What if they come true one day by accident? Besides, the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin is right there, and no one can get in now, so everyone has the same chance. If you don't try, how will you know if you're the one with the destiny?"
At this point, Yang Zhen secretly glanced at the reactions of the people around him and saw that their breathing had indeed become rapid, clearly indicating that they had been bewitched by him.
At this point, simply having more people wouldn't solve the problem. However, the more people there were, the safer the Shangyuan Sect would be. Where there are people, there is conflict; where there is conflict, there will be strife. If someone were to clash with the people of the Great You Dynasty, the Shangyuan Sect would be even safer.
Seeing the eager expressions on everyone's faces, Yang Zhen solemnly addressed them, "Since it's reserved for those with a destined connection, perhaps that person is among us. I've decided to give it a try. What's the difference between us cultivators and salted fish if we have no dreams and dare not take risks?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at Yang Zhen with solemn expressions.
What is salted fish?
Suddenly, someone asked a question, and everyone around immediately realized what was happening and turned their gazes to Yang Zhen.
Just as Yang Zhen was about to explain, the Shameless Cat beside him sneered, "It's just a dried fish, with no ambition and no future. I think what Kid Yang said makes sense, and I'm planning to go try it with you. Maybe that destined person is me. As for you, do as you please."
With that, the Shameless Cat swaggered away, not even glancing at Yang Zhen, and left without a second thought.
Yang Zhen gave the Shameless Cat an approving look, then quickly followed behind Shameless Cat, leaving the crowd as well.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd reacted, snorted coldly, and said, "Gentlemen, even a cat demon has more ambition than us now. I can't stand by and watch any longer. I've decided, I'll get a share of the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin. As for whether you go or not, that's your business."
"Hey, fellow Daoist, the way you're talking makes it sound like we're spineless cowards. I just don't believe that such a powerful force as the Great You Dynasty is entirely composed of people chosen by heaven."
"Yes, let's compete with the Great You Dynasty and see who is truly destined for this."
"I will return to my sect immediately and report this matter."
"And me, I must get to the vicinity of the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin before the Great You Dynasty, no, before that cat demon from before, otherwise we'll be no match for even a cat demon, and we cultivators will have completely lost face."
A group of people marched confidently toward Baiyun Mountain, cursing the Great You Dynasty along the way. Before long, rumors spread near White Cloud Mountain that a group of people were going to cause trouble for the Great You Dynasty.
After leaving the crowd, Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat immediately headed to White Cloud Mountain, deliberately avoiding the area where the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin was located.
"Kid, aren't you really going to check out the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin area?" the Shameless Cat asked curiously. "Given Yuan Xiuzhu's personality, he wouldn't just leave behind a single Heavenly Book as his entire legacy, would he?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
