Chapter 748: Chapter 754: Conspiracy! The Dark Conspiracy of Redhead! (First Update)
How would Yang Zhen know that so many others were watching him through the Sky Observing Mirror? With his understanding of the mirror, he knew that if the focus was on a particular individual at the Eagle Fall Cliff, that individual was the only one who could be seen. Everyone else would be invisible.
Even if Yaochi Holy Land had nothing better to do, they wouldn’t exclusively watch him.
In the eyes of Yaochi Holy Land, Yang Zhen was nothing more than a fame-seeking kid. Those who had successfully cultivated the Heavenly Brilliances were the real contenders. At this stage, they were the ones who should be getting more attention.
After he had acclimated himself to the Common Qi, Yang Zhen stealthily snuck in the opposite direction of the mountain top ruins. The area was vast, so it was best to let the chosen ones begin the battle.
He had come to such a bizarre place, rumored to be an ancient battlefield. Yang Zhen was adamant that a so-called holy battlefield wouldn’t exist without possessing treasures or even ancient secrets.
How could searching for a token be more exciting or important than hunting for treasures?
Under the watch of the Sky Observing Mirror, onlookers saw Yang Zhen wandering. Many were becoming bored. At Granny Hu’s instruction, the mirror shifted its focus onto the other chosen ones. They were stunned when they saw that others were either looking for allies using various methods or choosing a place to quietly wait and meditate for battle.
How long had passed, and these people still hadn’t noticed the additional Common Qi in the Heaven and Earth Qi that could affect their mind?
“Don’t… don’t tell me these people aren’t affected by the Common Qi?” Old Man Chi looked baffled, murmuring to himself, “It has been so long and not one of them has released Heavenly Brilliances. How did they cultivate to Divine Transformation Stage?”
Upon hearing Old Man Chi’s words, an elderly man with white whiskers next to him bitterly chuckled and said, “Elder Chi, patience. It hasn’t been long. It’s not that these people lack perception or understanding, it’s because…”
“Because of what?” Old Man Chi widened his eyes, “All these people are blindly searching for partners. Some have even dug a hole to hide in. If they stay there longer, won’t they be affected by their inner demons?”
The white-whiskered elder glared back, clearly displeased at being interrupted by Old Man Chi. He loudly said, “I told you to be calm! Since when did you become so impatient? How long has it been? You figure it out!”
Old Man Chi was shocked by the white-whiskered elder, almost spilling his tea. Pausing at these words, he glanced at his teacup and gasped, “What? It has only been a teacup’s worth of time?”
Without waiting for the startled white-whiskered elder to respond, Old Man Chi widened his eyes and looked utterly confused, “Yang Zhen discovered the Common Qi method and thought of a way to counteract it all within the span of a teacup? Is he even human?”
A teacup?
How long did it take me back then to find out?
It seems like it took me a day. No, that’s not right. I realized it in less than a day because of my exceptional talent.
Of course, he dared not mention this less-than-a-day discovery now, or else he would be making a fool of himself.
Upon hearing Old Man Chi’s words, everyone wore a surprised expression.
Nearly everyone shared the same sentiments as Old Man Chi, growing somewhat dissatisfied with those at the mountain top ruins. But after a moment of contemplation, their dissatisfaction dissipated. It wasn’t that others were slow-witted, but that Yang Zhen was unbelievably talented.
Who the hell can understand how to counteract Common Qi in less than the time it took to drink a teacup?
Spotting Common Qi within a teacup’s time… Damn, finding Common Qi within a teacup’s time already made him unusually gifted.
As for Yang Zhen, was he not only the illegitimate child of Yaochi Holy Land, but also someone who had been to Eagle Fall Cliff before?
At the very least, he must have heard about the existence of a Qi called Common Qi in Eagle Fall Cliff.
Upon this realization, the crowd’s eyes darted to Granny Hu and everyone held a suspicious gaze.
There was definitely a conspiracy and Old Man Chi was certainly involved!
The old crone looked bewildered as she studied everyone’s expressions. Anger flashed across her face, but for the moment, she couldn’t recall what mistake she had made, and she let out a frustrated huff.
At this moment, the yellow-clothed woman laughed and explained, “Distinguished seniors, I can assure you, it’s Yang Zhen’s first time entering Yaochi Holy Land and his first visit to Eagle Fall Cliff.”
Upon hearing these words, everyone sighed in relief, several old men smiling embarrassively at the yellow-clothed woman without saying anything more.
The old crone nodded to the yellow-clothed woman, who understood her cue, quietly departing from the row of seats, disappearing from sight.
Not long after, the yellow-clothed woman arrived at a sacred palace. The grand and magnificent palace doors silently opened, two young female disciples inside turned to look, giving a respectful bow to her and said, “Third Saintess!”
The yellow-clothed woman nodded and asked with interest, “Is it possible to observe the situation in Eagle Fall Cliff through the Sky Observing Mirror in the Yao Saint Palace?”
One of the young disciples nodded and replied, “Third Saintess, the Sky Observing Mirror of the Yao Saint Palace has limited abilities. It can only observe one person and can’t control everything.”
A playful glint appeared in the yellow-clothed woman’s eye, she laughed and said, “That’s enough, by the way, where is Elder Jian?”
“Elder Jian and the Palace Master are in the sacred altar discussing swords, they should be…”
Before the young disciple could finish her sentence, a hearty and cheerful laugh sounded. “Could it be that the Third Saintess has found another interesting item and is so eager to find me?”
A delighted expression appeared on the yellow-clothed woman’s face. She stood up and respectfully said, “Elder Jian is really prescient. How did you know I was coming?”@@novelbin@@
Two sage-like elders walked side by side into the Yao Saint Palace, a stocky elder with a flushed face let out a hearty laugh, “We’re not prescient. This time it seems we’ve really encountered an interesting youngster. Let me have a look, what is this youngster like, who found and solved the issue of Common Qi in less than the time it takes to make a cup of tea?”
The yellow-clothed woman nodded, and with a wave of her delicate hand, she changed her appearance. She was stunning, lighting up the entire Yao Saint Palace.
She was utterly flawless and ethereal. This was the true Third Saintess of the Yao Pool. Every motion and every smile was untainted, exuding elegant otherworldliness.
With the activation of the Sky Observing Mirror, a glimpse of curiosity appeared in the Third Saintess’s eyes. She said, “This person is called Yang Zhen. Yunla said he cultivated twenty Heavenly Brilliances, but he himself…”
“Eh?”
Elder Jian and the Palace Master of the Yaochi Holy Land exchanged glances, both exhibiting surprise.
Elder Jian, in particular, let out a laugh and said, “So, it’s this youngster. I heard he claimed to have cultivated a hundred Heavenly Brilliances? Truly, a character who isn’t afraid of biting his own tongue.”
The Third Saintess blinked and said to Elder Jian, “Elder Jian, examine his Heavenly Brilliance aura.”
“Hmm?” Elder Jian paused in mid-sip, giving the Third Saintess an odd look. Shaking his head with a chuckle, he said, “You seem to have taken a liking to this youngster named Yang Zhen. Alright, let me see what’s so extraordinary about him that has captured your regard.”
“Ten?”
A sudden exclamation neighboring them startled Elder Jian, his hands trembled, and his teacup nearly fell. He glared at the Palace Master of Yao Saint Palace and scolded, “What are you shouting about? How old are you… Ten…? Ten?”
Elder Jian’s teacup, after all, did not fall to the ground, but was held up by a gentle streak of air manifested when the Third Saintess waved her hand.
“Palace Master, Elder Jian, how is Yang Zhen?” The Third Saintess asked with an enchanting smile.
Elder Jian and the Palace Master exchanged glances, both suddenly came to life, simultaneously exclaimed, “There’s hope again!”
What do you think?
