Chapter 782: Chapter 788 Ancient Chinese Characters? (Second Update)
“Did you find anything?”
The Third Saintess was genuinely surprised. It was unknown how many people had entered the first world of the Heavenly Star Stele, let alone how many had noticed the peculiar aura within it. Numerous people had searched within, but all had eventually given up, for aside from the Sumeru World, there was nothing else there.
This was Yang Zhen’s first time entering the Heavenly Star Stele. He managed to find the entrance to the second level in a matter of moments, greatly surprising the Third Saintess. However, after hearing Yang Zhen’s words, the shock in the Third Saintess’s eyes deepened.
Could it be that Yang Zhen had truly found something?
Outside the Heavenly Star Stele, the Lord of the Yaochi Holy Land and others had smiles on their faces, watching the Heavenly Star Stele with a look of curiosity.
“Elder Jian, when do you think Yang Zhen and the others will be able to enter the second level?” The master of the Yao Saint Palace asked with interest.
...
Elder Jian laughed heartily and said, “The Third Saintess has already been to the fourth level. The first level poses almost no challenge to her, and the two of them should enter the second level soon.”
The master of the Yao Saint Palace chuckled and said, “I’m not so sure. Given the Third Saintess’s character, she might test Yang Zhen after they enter the first level. So, the timing of their entry into the second world is uncertain.”
“You mean, the Third Saintess will let Yang Zhen take the lead and allow him to comprehend the Heavenly Star World on his own?” Elder Jian was stunned, then shook his head and said, “If so, it would indeed be hard to predict when they would enter the second world. However, considering Yang Zhen’s talent, it might not take him half a day to find a way to the second level.”
The Lord of the Yaochi Holy Land chuckled and said, “That would be fine. Ascending step by step would not only give us a deeper understanding of Yang Zhen’s talent but would also help Yang Zhen understand the Heavenly Star World better. Once at the fourth level, the Third Saintess would have reached her limit. Whether she can enter the fifth level or not would depend on Yang Zhen’s help.”
Everyone nodded. Evidently, the words of the Lord of the Yaochi Holy Land weren’t without reason.
Elder Jian looked at the Lord of the Yaochi Holy Land and hesitated before saying, “Your Excellency, there’s the matter of the third elder from the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land…”
At Elder Jian’s words, everyone became solemn.
It was well-known that Yang Zhen had shot and killed Yue Qian and even killed Lin Haotian, a disciple highly valued by the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land. The Heavenly Pivot Holy Land would not let this go so easily. Now, word was spreading that the third elder from the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land had left their base and was heading towards the Yaochi Holy Land.
Once the Great Elder found Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen would have little chance of winning.
By now, everyone finally understood that the reason Yang Zhen was able to kill Yue Qian was largely that Yue Qian had underestimated him too much.
If Yue Qian had taken Yang Zhen seriously, he surely would not have been killed so easily.
After all, Yang Zhen’s cultivation was a bit low. Even with a supreme secret technique that could seize the heavens and the earth, it could only be maintained for a certain period. If he had to fight for a long time, Yang Zhen was definitely not as strong as a genuine fighter at the Circulation Phase.
The three Great Elders from the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land were different. They could completely drain Yang Zhen’s strength before easily killing him. Lest they share Yue Qian’s fate, the three Great Elders were certainly not people Yang Zhen could deal with.
This was what worried everyone the most. Although Yang Zhen claimed to be an Ancient Inheritance Disciple, he was, after all, weak. If he faced the three Great Elders, even if he used all his resources, he would still have no chance of survival.
The master of the Yao Saint Palace showed a troubled look and sighed, “Yang Zhen is indeed too impulsive. In fact, even if he hadn’t acted, with us here, do you really think Yue Qian would have killed him?”
Elder Jian snorted and said, “It’s too late to say these things now. What are we going to do if those three elders come?”
The Lord of the Yaochi Holy Land stood tall, staring at the Heavenly Star Stele and said, “Is my Yaochi Holy Land a place anyone can come and go as they please? Let alone the three Great Elders from the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land, even if their master were to show up, if he wants to take a person from under my Yaochi Holy Land’s eyelids, he’ll have to ask if my Yaochi Holy Land agrees first.”
Hiss!
Everyone gasped collectively, then became all the more excited, watching the Lord of the Yaochi Holy Land, their faces all showing a do-or-die determination.
“Your Excellency, rest assured, regardless of who comes, if they want Yang Zhen’s life, they will absolutely not be allowed into the Yaochi Holy Land!” The master of the Yao Saint Palace said coldly, “If they want a fight, we will be only too happy to accommodate them.”
Elder Jian laughed heartily and said, “In any case, the more I see of that kid Yang Zhen, the more I like him. If anyone wants his life, they must first ask if this old body of mine agrees!”
At that moment, dazzling light burst forth from the first layer of the Heavenly Star Stele, shining like a brilliant flash that pierced directly through the heavens and earth, shooting towards the sky.
Everyone was taken aback and watched the Heavenly Star Stele with expressions of disbelief, looking at each other with astonishment.
“What’s happening?”
“Why is it giving off such brilliant light? What could possibly be happening inside the Heavenly Star Stele?”
“Did Yang Zhen and the Third Saintess open the entrance to the second level world?”
“No, that’s not it. Even if they opened the entrance to the second level world, it couldn’t possibly emit such brilliance. You and I have both entered the second level world but have we ever seen such radiance?” @@novelbin@@
The crowd was filled with speculation, their faces a mask of confusion. Even the Yaochi Holy Land’s Palace Master-Herself had a face full of uncertainty, staring at the first level world and saying, “Could the two of them have found something else in there?”
“Something else?” Elder Jian appeared puzzled and murmured to himself, “The first level is only the Sumeru World, filled with a drab landscape of dull sky and earth. What else could be there?”
The Yao Saint Palace Master stood dumbfounded, shockingly looking at the Yaochi Holy Land’s Palace Master, “Master, are you saying…”
“That energy!” The Yaochi Holy Land’s Palace Master exhaled sharply, her eyes flickering with a mix of awe and uncertainty.
“Impossible!” The Yao Saint Palace Master quickly shook her head, “Throughout history, countless people have tried to find where that energy originates from and they all have ended in futile. This includes beings more powerful than Yang Zhen and even those with higher cultivation levels than us. Never have they found where that energy comes from. So how could Yang Zhen find it?”
“That very energy…,” the Yaochi Holy Land’s Palace Master thought for a moment, then said, “Whether or not it is, we must protect the Heavenly Star Stele and stop anyone from interrupting Yang Zhen and the Third Saintess.”
A sense of alarm struck everyone, their looks towards the Heavenly Star Stele became even more astonished.
No one could have known that the Third Saintess was ten thousand times more shocked than they were, for Yang Zhen had indeed found where that energy was located.
Not only had he found it, he’d unearthed it as well.
An enormous, golden antique character appeared in midair, so bright it was radiant and breathtaking. What was even more shocking was that this energy was veiled in an array of power-like force.
“What is this?”
The Third Saintess had a look of shock on her face as she stared first at Yang Zhen, then at the massive character in the air.
Yang Zhen was taken aback by the question. For heaven’s sake, he too wanted to know what it was.
It was an ancient Chinese character!
Is this some kind of joke?
There are actually ancient Chinese characters in the cultivation world?
Yang Zhen looked up, puzzled as he gazed at the enormously prominent ‘Lin’ character in the sky. It resembled the legendary Nine Divine Characters.
Could the Nine Divine Characters truly exist in the cultivation world?
As the thought crossed his mind, Yang Zhen felt a surge of excitement deep within.
If the Nine Divine Characters truly existed in the cultivation world, it could imply a close connection between this cultivation world and the Azure Star. Could this mean that one day, Yang Zhen might really find a way back to the Azure Star?
What do you think?
