Chapter 676: Chapter 682: This World! Doesn’t Have Your Way! (Fourth Update)
Upon hearing Death Shadow’s words, everyone present was taken aback.
Was something wrong with Yang Zhen’s state?
…
It was more than wrong. It was significantly off!
Yang Zhen, looking perplexed, was feeling the aura in the cleansing Qi, appearing as confused as when he first arrived in the world of cultivation.
With the Heavenly Punishment now over, Yang Zhen had survived the test of the heaven. Under such circumstances, and with the help of the cleansing Qi, anyone but a fool would find enlightenment easy to achieve.
However, the surrounding spatial fragments were still reshaping everything, the Thunder Lustre Hellfire was sealing itself off, transforming into a forbidden land, and Yang Zhen could clearly sense all sorts of changes occurring in the world around him.
Everything seemed normal, and Yang Zhen chose this time to seek enlightenment in order to gain a deeper understanding of the world of cultivation during these great changes.
However… he could not grasp any Taoist Feelings, not even a hint of it!
It was as if there was no path in this world suitable for Yang Zhen, leaving him in a state of bewildered confusion.
No, it wasn’t that there was no path for him. Among the Three Thousand Great Taoist in the world of cultivation, surprisingly, none belonged to Yang Zhen.
Even the weakest path seemed oblivious to him, let alone able to be grasped.
“Damn it! What the hell is happening?”
Yang Zhen opened his eyes in confusion, looking past the Thunder Lustre Hellfire, through the spatial fragments, to Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er.
As a reincarnated soul of the Tri-Floral Saintess, Hua Youyue had her own path, and so did Han Yan’er, who found her path following Yang Zhen’s enlightenment. Despite their status, Yang Zhen could sense, albeit vaguely, Taoist Feelings on every person present, whether they had found enlightenment or not.
However, these Taoist Feelings belonged to others, not Yang Zhen.
While Yang Zhen could inherit the Taoist Feelings of others and had even once abandoned the path of a Great Saint, he refused to inherit from others. Instead, he aimed to comprehend the world on his own and follow his own path.
But now, although he had sensed the world, he couldn’t find his own path.
This left Yang Zhen feeling lost. His gaze stared blankly at Han Yan’er and Hua Youyue, his eyes reflecting an unfamiliar sense of bewilderment.
Maybe it was due to the transformation of the world, or the displacement of the void, or even the fracturing of the void and the lock-down of the region. Everyone present could see clearly the expression on Yang Zhen’s face, as well as the confusion in his eyes.
Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er exchanged a glance. Both saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
Something was very wrong with Yang Zhen, but like Death Shadow, neither of them could figure out what it was.
Even Yang Zhen himself couldn’t pinpoint what was off, so how could they?
Despicable Cat, hopping off of Han Yan’er’s shoulder, was anxiously pacing in circles on the ground, its eyes gleaming with puzzlement. It murmured, “Something’s off. Something’s definitely off. What is he doing? Can enlightenment really be this complicated?”
“What… what is Yang Zhen doing?” Elder Bai asked Duan Sihai, a blank look in his eyes.
Duan Sihai shook his head, “Enlightenment is a momentary thing. Yang Zhen already has all the conditions ready for it, but… Maybe he hasn’t fully grasped it yet?”
Gong Sanhe disagreed, shaking his head, “No, it’s not that he hasn’t fully grasped it. In fact, when Yang Zhen sat cross-legged, allowing the two Heaven-Earth Beasts to collide with him, he had already grasped it. He chose this time to pursue enlightenment in order to understand the Taoist Feelings brought by the changes in heaven and earth. It shouldn’t be this way. Why?”
Death Shadow blinked, his teeth almost grinding into a pulp.
At this moment, Yang Zhen looked lost and helpless. Amidst the terrifying changes in heaven and earth, he appeared so insignificant. His state of not knowing what to do evoked a sense of sympathy in everyone.
Yang Zhen, face full of confusion, looked up into the sky. The terrifying Will of Heaven and Earth seemed like the thoughts of the creator, altering the order of heaven and earth.
Numerous spatial fragments floated around. The Void Power gave Yang Zhen a hair-raising feeling.
Under the overturning heaven and earth, the entire Thunder Lustre Hellfire became chaotic. Thunder danced wildly and molten lava surged up towards the sky. Even the most powerful Earth Master would not be able to foresee the changes between heaven and earth.
Yang Zhen was not an Earth Master, but he had the Ksitigarbha Chapter and the Profound Principle Chapter of the Heavenly Book. His understanding of the changes in heaven’s numbers was far deeper than that of the average person.
At this moment, Yang Zhen suddenly felt as though he was drifting outside the world. Although he had thought he was already part of this world, in the end, he was still an outsider being rejected by it.
With this thought, Yang Zhen found it ridiculous. He looked up at the heavens, a flicker of madness gleaming in his eyes.
The Three Thousand Paths, countless creatures, the world of cultivation had thrived for countless years, but in the end, it couldn’t tolerate a small human living being like him?
This… infuriated him!
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, withdrawing all the power around him. He appeared as an ordinary person, no aura, and even his vitality became quiescent, almost imperceptible.
Feeling the change in Yang Zhen, everyone gasped in shock as the cleansing energy surrounding him gradually dissipated.
Once the cleansing energy began to fade, it was a clear sign that Yang Zhen had failed in his path to becoming a Taoist.
In such a situation, where the heavens and the earth were trembling, even if the ancient war god was reborn, he wouldn’t be able to save Yang Zhen’s life from the will of the heavens and earth.
Was Yang Zhen destined to die without achieving the Dao?
The scene was deadly silent, countless people were watching Yang Zhen as the changes in the heavens and earth were still violently fluctuating in the sky. The only sound was the wind blowing through the flowers, grass, and trees.
At this moment, Hua Youyue began to move, slowly walking towards Yang Zhen.
“Sister, what are you doing?” Han Yan’er’s face changed abruptly, and she hurriedly said, “You…want to go in?”
Hua Youyue seemed startled, but she didn’t stop, and nodded. “He needs a Guardian of the Tao!”
Everyone was taken aback, looking at Hua Youyue with faces full of astonishment.
Han Yan’er suddenly smiled. “Sister, I am more suitable to be the Guardian of the Tao than you are!”
Saying this, Han Yan’er also stepped forward, walking towards Yang Zhen.
Seeing Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er approaching him, Yang Zhen was momentarily stunned. The world before his eyes seemed to light up, and he stood tall, laughing heartily, looking arrogant, his aura surged.
“You two, you have so little faith in me, Sao Saint?”
Hearing Yang Zhen’s arrogant words, everyone present blinked in surprise, some with an expression of helplessness and dismay.
Even a fool could have achieved Dao instantly in such a situation, but you have been unable for so long; how could they have any confidence in you?
People couldn’t help but laugh and cry. The timing of Yang Zhen’s decision to achieve the Dao was perfect, plus he was accompanied by the cleansing energy and various excellent conditions. It was the best opportunity for achieving the Dao in their lifetime, but Yang Zhen failed to achieve the Dao?
This was simply…. Even the least talented person in the world could do better than Yang Zhen!
Amid the bewildered expressions of the crowd, one sentence from Hua Youyue left everyone dumbstruck.
“Your path doesn’t exist in this world!”
What?
Everyone’s expression froze, and they stared at Hua Youyue in disbelief.
There’s no place in this world for Yang Zhen’s path?
How could this be possible?
There are three thousand Great Tiao, many Lesser Tiao, and countless sentient beings tirelessly pursuing each of them.
There had been rumors that as many as the variables in the world, so many are the Tiao. Now Hua Youyue is saying that Yang Zhen’s Tiao does not exist in this world. What exactly is he trying to cultivate?
At this moment, most people suddenly remembered a sentence once said by Hua Youyue; Yang Zhen’s Taio, is unique.
Thinking of this, all eyes turned to Yang Zhen, their faces full of astonishment and disbelief.
Who would have thought that there would be such an unfortunate person as Yang Zhen in the world?
No wonder Yang Zhen exhibited such a helpless expression, looking like he was all alone in the world, not fitting in with everything around him, small and confused.
Unfortunate, pitiful – this was the epitome of Yang Zhen right now.
Many people sighed and took a deep breath.
Does this world truly not have place for Yang Zhen?
At this moment, Yang Zhen suddenly smiled. His face radiated the most brilliant smile in the world, causing everyone to pause.
“If there’s no Dao for Sao Saint, then Sao Saint will create one that’s uniquely his!”
Yang Zhen spoke in a relaxed and casual tone, as if creating a Tiao that belonged only to him was incredibly easy!
Boom–!
The world exploded!
The whole Thunder Lustre Hellfire, had completely turned into a hell on earth!
