Chapter 409: Chapter 415: Unparalleled in Heaven and Earth! (First Update)
The entire ice cave was shaking violently, frightening everyone into a state of panic.
Inside this vast area, within the huge Ice Palace Cluster, if the structures were to collapse, even those with Tribulation Crossing stage of cultivation would likely get buried alive, unable to escape.
Besides, such terrifying fluctuations of energy suggested that something monumental was happening. Something of this magnitude could not be caused by anyone with Tribulation Crossing cultivation.
The answer was clear – it was the Sacred Law!
Humm—!
It felt like a supremely domineering power had locked onto everything in heaven and earth. Everyone felt a jolting fear.
The sly cat had been spun around in circles by Yang Zhen for a while and was still dizzy. Entering into this upheaval turned the cat’s fur on end. It scrambled over to Yang Zhen, scampering up to his shoulder with wide eyes filled with horror.
“Damn, what just happened?”
Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er also came to Yang Zhen, looking at him intently and seriously.
“Sacred Law. It’s the power of the Sacred Law!” Hua Youyue took a deep breath and said with a worrisome gaze at Yang Zhen, “Who would’ve thought that even a part of Sky Crying Great Saint could use the Sacred Law. I… I don’t know how to!”
Yang Zhen laughed at Hua Youyue’s state, taking her hand as he said, “You’re only at the Divine Travel Stage of cultivation and can’t be expected to use Sacred Law. What are you thinking?”
“But…” Hua Youyue started to speak, but then hesitated.
Yang Zhen dismissed her concerns with a wave of his hand. “You and he are not the same, he’s just a manufactured part, while you are you!”
Hua Youyue trembled slightly, then nodded her understanding: “I get it!”
Yang Zhen was right. Parts could be understood as secret treasures refined out of oneself. They had no consciousness of their own. Only when the main body integrates a thread of Divine Soul into them, do the parts truly come to life. However, a Divine Soul couldn’t be integrated into the part for long. After a while, the consciousness would wear away, as with the Sky Crying Great Saint, and become no different from a wild beast. They could only survive by relying on the instinctual behaviors left in their Divine Soul Imprint, acting according to the remaining will of the main body’s Divine Soul.
Hua Youyue was different. Although she had been formed from one-third of Sanhua Saintess’s Divine Soul, in a certain sense, she could also be considered a part of the Divine Soul.
However, the power of Heaven and Earth was mysterious. Solely using the Ancient Triple Floral Scripture, the Sanhua Saintess refined one-third of her divine soul into a seed of the Epiphyllum flower, which cultivated Hua Youyue!
The Hua Youyue of today was Hua Youyue from the Epiphyllum fairy, a complete Divine Soul, not a one-third Divine Soul Hua Youyue – the difference was fundamental.
Otherwise, even if Yang Zhen had the power to turn back time, he wouldn’t have been able to prevent the Sanhua Saintess’ Tri-Floral Return to Position and alter Hua Youyue’s fate.
Thus, after reshaping causality, Hua Youyue wasn’t affected. The one having problems was instead Yang Zhen.
His soul lost more than half!
With a pained expression, Yang Zhen, holding onto Hua Youyue and a wide-eyed, but unresistant Han Yan’er, departed the grand hall.
An expression of curiosity on her face, Han Yan’er asked, “Why are we leaving?”
Yang Zhen looked back and said, “Although I don’t know how the Sky Crying Great Saint managed it, he locked such fearsome Void Power here in the creating a grand array within heaven and earth. After over ten thousand years of nurturing, the power became something that isn’t easy to refine!” “So, you’re not going to refine it?” Han Yan’er’s face froze, then she shook her head, “That’s impossible. You don’t abandon things halfway. Even less likely is that you would give the advantage to others.”
Yang Zhen looked surprised at Han Yan’er, aloofly responding: “You seem to know me quite well!”
With a look of sternness, Han Yan’er turned her head away, her eyes wide. “Who understands you? You just…”
Yang Zhen didn’t know whether the next word Han Yan’er would say was ‘despicable’ or ‘flirtatious’, but it surprised him that Han Yan’er, who appeared to be somewhat reckless, had begun to make conclusions.
That was a good thing.
“That’s more like it. There’s so much beauty to experience in life. You don’t need to resort to violence all the time, especially against me. I really don’t know where you get the energy. Isn’t it nice now? You haven’t thought about fighting me in a while. Truly relaxing.”
Han Yan’er seemed a bit shy to look at Yang Zhen, she lowered her gaze with blushing cheeks, biting her lip. Her long legs were restless as she lightly kicked at the ground, “I… I can’t beat you now!”
Yang Zhen blinked, laughing heartily, “Well, that’s great! If you can’t beat me your whole life, then you’ll never want to fight with me. Hmm, it looks like this Sao Saint needs to grab on some time to cultivate.”
Han Yan’er suddenly looked up, staring at Yang Zhen with surprise. She then glared at him fiercely, saying, “Who said I’m going to be with you for a lifetime!”
He can’t answer that!
Yang Zhen’s survival instinct suddenly exploded, he turned to Hua Youyue for help.
So what to say, a wrong response could make them from friends to enemies. But if he responded well… What if he ended up with another woman?
He hadn’t gotten Hua Youyue yet!
Who said women in Jianghu were loose? Those that would pledge their bodies at every encounter would be unsettling, flying colorful hats everywhere.
Hua Youyue was irreproachably beautiful, whether it was her figure, temperament, or skin. She was one of a kind.
Normally, once Hua Youyue showed interest, with his personality, Yang Zhen would’ve embraced this perfect opportunity. But… standing in front of Hua Youyue, Yang Zhen could only feel a sense of admiration.
He felt calm and composed, like a high monk who’d achieved enlightenment, which felt a bit odd.
Yang Zhen looked at Hua Youyue for help and curiosity.
Hua Youyue had a slight smile on her face while observing her surroundings, appearing as if she hadn’t heard the conversation between Yang Zhen and Han Yan’er.
Yang Zhen was a bit flabbergasted. What did Youyue mean by that? At this point, wouldn’t she protect the Sao Saint and warned Han Yan’er with her expressive eyes?
My god, Yang Zhen was torn. If you don’t state your position, Youyue, your Yang brother might be turned into a half-brother!
When the situation became chaotic inside Yang Zhen’s mind, nothing had seemed to have happened for Youyue and Han Yan’er who soon returned to their usual calm selves, leaving Yang Zhen the only one distressed.
Wait, did that just happen?
Was Sao Saint overthinking it?
Yang Zhen suddenly felt that these two women had deviated from the script. “What are we going to do next?” Hua Youyue asked Yang Zhen. Her clear and deep eyes were lively, sparkling with amusement which made Yang Zhen hesitate.
He had his dream woman in Youyue, why need to bother with others?
No, that won’t do!
Yang Zhen waved his hand grandly, “Let them continue their chaos, wait for the right moment, this Sao Saint will reappear to reap the benefits. Now, let’s see if there’s any Creation and Transformation Stalactite Bamboo Shoot!” “Creation and Transformation Stalactite Bamboo Shoot?” Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er exclaimed at the same time, looking at each other in surprise, clearly having never heard of this.
“Cough cough, Creation and Transformation Stalactite Bamboo Shoot!” Said the cat dismissively, “Kid, are you sure your Void Power won’t be consumed by the Sky Crying Great Saint’s avatar?”
Yang Zhen laughed, “Him? An avatar? If an avatar could consume Void Power, this Sao Saint will eat the Great Missing Sword!”
When Hua Youyue heard about the Creation and Transformation Stalactite Bamboo Shoot, her body quivered, her eyes shone brightly.. She said, “I know a place where it might be found!”
