The disc in the Shameless Cat's hand was none other than the family heirloom that the old man had just taken out.
After the old man burned his divine soul, he gave his family heirloom to Lin Dong, but unexpectedly, Lin Dong left it behind before he left.
Yang Zhen briefly explained the ordeal of Lin Dong and his grandson to the three of them. The Shameless Cat immediately jumped up and cursed, "Damn it! There are still such shameless Holy Race in the world! They've truly disgraced the Great Wilderness! Why did you let them go? Let the Heaven-Swallowing Hou eat them all in one bite!"
Seeing the Shameless Cat jumping around, Yang Zhen glanced at it and said, "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. I don't need to deal with this kind of person; he'll get his comeuppance sooner or later."
Hua Youyue nodded, walked up to the Shameless Cat Shameless Cat, took the disc from its hand, and said, "I can sense the aura of the Great Wilderness on this. Do you know what it is?"
Yang Zhen shook his head. He could vaguely sense that this thing was extraordinary, but Yang Zhen didn't know what it was or what it was used for.
The Shameless Cat asked curiously, "That little guy just said these are things they used to acknowledge their ancestors. Kid, should we send them back?"
Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "No need to send them back. They must have their reasons for staying."
Hearing this, the Shameless Cat glared and said, "What do you mean by 'their good intentions'? This is a family heirloom, something they risked their lives to keep, and you just give it to me like this? Kid, this isn't like you! Won't your conscience bother you after accepting this?"
Although Yang Zhen saved the two, what difference is there between this item in Yang Zhen's hands and that of the people from Heavenly Joy Holy Land?
Seeing the disdainful look on the Shameless Cat's face, Yang Zhen was stunned for a moment, then said irritably, "Damn it, when will you ever use your brain a little more?"
"What do you mean?" The Shameless Cat glared, its face full of Qi Ingestion.
Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er both looked at Yang Zhen with puzzled expressions. They clearly agreed with what the Shameless Cat said. This family heirloom, which they would rather lose their lives than let others touch, was now in the hands of the four of them, and they all felt a little reluctant to part with it.
Yang Zhen sighed and said, "Don't worry, Lin Dong will come back to retrieve this thing later."
"Why?" The Shameless Cat looked completely bewildered, clearly not understanding.
Hua Youyue and Han Yan'er were taken aback. They exchanged a glance and looked at Yang Zhen with some surprise.
Yang Zhen chuckled and said, "Let me ask you, if you had a priceless treasure that absolutely could not fall into the hands of evil people, and you had no way to protect it, what would you do?"
"What else can we do but hide somewhere secluded?" The Shameless Cat glanced at Yang Zhen, then his face froze. He said, "No, hiding isn't a foolproof solution. Damn it, I get it. Lin Dong is trying to make you take the blame. That kid is awful. We have to give this back to him."
Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "Recognizing one's ancestors can be done at any time. But if the item is lost, then it's not just a matter of not being able to recognize one's ancestors. There might be some great secret inside this disc. Let me take a look."
Hearing that there was a secret, the Shameless Cat's eyes lit up, and it moved closer to Yang Zhen, urging, "Yes, yes, kid, take a look, what is this thing used for?"
It's definitely not just about recognizing one's ancestors; how can recognizing one's ancestors be measured by external things?
Upon obtaining the disc, Yang Zhen stirred, and a solemn expression appeared on his face. He glanced at the three people and said, "Protect me; this thing is no ordinary object!"
After saying that, Yang Zhen leaped onto the back of the Devouring Heaven-Swallowing Hou Heaven-Swallowing Hou, patted its back, and said, "Buddy, let's go!"
roar--!
A deafening roar resounded as the Heaven-Swallowing Hou carried the four of them straight into the sky.
Yang Zhen sat cross-legged, a solemn expression on his face, holding the round plate in both hands and immersing his Divine Sense into it.
The Shameless Cat cat watched intently from the side, seeing Yang Zhen holding his breath, not daring to make a sound, his eyes fixed on the disc, his face full of curiosity.
After a long while, Yang Zhen suddenly groaned, his face turned pale, and he abruptly opened his eyes.
The sudden turn of events startled the three of them. The Shameless Cat looked at them with suspicion and asked in a low voice, "Kid, are you alright? Is there something strange about this thing?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "There's a trace of Emperor Qi on this disc!"
"What?" The Shameless Cat was stunned, exclaiming in surprise, "This is actually an Emperor Treasure?"
Yang Zhen shook his head, frowned, and said, "It's not Emperor Treasure. The Emperor Qi is merely forcibly sealed within, and the restrictions on it are extremely powerful; I can't open it!"
Even Yang Zhen couldn't break the seal; in this world, perhaps only Emperor Realm expert could accomplish this. The Shameless Cat grumbled, "What can we do? There must be some secret inside. Something sealed by the Emperor Realm expert must be some incredible secret. There's absolutely nothing we can do?"
Yang Zhen thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he said, "Perhaps there's another way we can try!"
At this point, Yang Zhen patted the Heaven-Swallowing Hou on the back and said, "Go down a bit, I need to retrieve some things."
The enormous body of the Heaven-Swallowing Hou swooped down, passing over the place where Lin Dong and the others had been. Yang Zhen casually dabbed some of Lin Dong's blood, pondered for a moment, and then smeared it on the disc.
Seeing that the disc absorbed the Essence Blood without any change, the Shameless Cat pouted in disappointment and said, "Seems useless."
Yang Zhen grinned, shook his head, and said, "No, it works. Get out of the way!"
After saying that, Yang Zhen bit his middle finger, smeared some blood on the disc, and casually made a series of marks on it. The disc immediately began to buzz violently.
"Got it!" the Shameless Cat exclaimed, its eyes fixed on the disc in Yang Zhen's hand.
With a buzzing sound, the disc began to shake violently. Yang Zhen's face was somewhat pale. He placed the disc on the back of the Heaven-Swallowing Hou and struck a series of array marks with both hands. Blood Light Great Saint immediately appeared on the disc, and with a bang, it burst out with a terrifying power. Even the Heaven-Swallowing Hou was terrified and let out a low roar.
Caught off guard by the sudden burst of bloody light, Yang Zhen and his companions paled in shock and vanished from their spots before they could even utter a cry of alarm.
In the midst of a chaotic world, Yang Zhen and his companions staggered to their feet, exchanging bewildered glances.
"This is actually World Within the Compass?" The Shameless Cat looked around curiously, but was disappointed after a moment.
The surrounding world was a hazy gray, and nothing could be seen clearly, or perhaps nothing existed at all.
Just as the scoundrel Shameless Cat was about to curse, the World Within the Compass suddenly changed dramatically. The heavens and earth surged, and mountains and rivers appeared in the chaotic world. Dark clouds pressed down overhead, and terrifying thunder roared. Amidst endless flashes of lightning and thunder, a huge black shadow appeared in the sky.
Yang Zhen looked up and his face instantly turned pale!
Black, world-destroying lightning!
so much!
Yang Zhen had seen this kind of thunder once before; it was also an illusion, only much smaller in scale than this one.
"Heavens above... Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth!" the Shameless Cat cried out, clutching its head and cowering on the ground, trembling. Even its voice became distorted, showing just how terrifying it was.
Yang Zhen kicked the Shameless Cat and said irritably, "This is an illusion, not real!"
The Shameless Cat peeked out with one eye towards the sky, coughed, stood up, and said with its neck stiffened, "I just wanted to test your reactions."
Nobody paid any attention to this guy!
Hua Youyue's face also flickered with surprise and uncertainty as she stared at the raging black lightning in mid-air, lost in thought.
The Shameless Cat suddenly muttered to itself, "Damn, where have I seen this dark figure before?"
