Invincible Starting from Max Level Attributes

Chapter 718: Chapter 724: Someone Causing Trouble? (First Update)

Yang Zhen never thought of himself as a favored individual by heaven. Although he possessed extraordinary talents and could cultivate at will – either suppressing or advancing his cultivation level with ease — the heavens seemed to always oppose him!

He was not inclined to bend to heaven’s will, nor to rebel against it. Everything Yang did was grounded in his true self and carried out under certain boundaries. His constant pursuit was to live freely at his own leisure.

The Sneaky Cat said that Yang Zhen could only be considered half-favored by the heavens, which Yang Zhen could accept. But what scared him was that Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er didn’t even qualify as heaven-favored individuals. Just how terrifying were the people like Yunla in comparison?

At first, Yang Zhen only wanted to make contact with Yunla to see if he had the chance to enter the Jade Pool. But now, he was interested in the so-called heaven-favored ones mentioned by Yunla and others. He was curious about just how powerful these beings were.

What was the Third Saintess of Jade Pool looking for with these heaven-favored ones?

No one knew. Even Yunla, the one who had started all this, did not know.

As they were in the dark, no rumors spread, and so the entire Northern Island and even the whole Western Region were discussing this. More and more prodigies began to emerge, which surprised everyone.

Yang Zhen had never thought there could be so many geniuses in the cultivation world. Now, in Northern Island, if a brick were to fall, it would doubtlessly strike one such genius. There were even a few who were said to possess talents surpassing those of Yang the Scoundrel!

Such exaggerations, Yang Zhen reckoned, it was necessary to teach these so-called geniuses a lesson so they could see that fake competition was incorrect.

Just as Yang Zhen was contemplating how to contact Yunla and others, a pratitioner of the Divine Transformation Stage with a sneaky grin approached him. Behind the practitioner was Big Beard, with a somewhat distressed look on his face.

Yang Zhen did remember Big Beard quite well as he was the first one who had stripped him and then kicked him into a carrot pit. His name was… Liuyou?

Liuyou looked nervously at Yang Zhen. As he was about to speak, the Divine Transformation Stage practitioner suddenly yelled, startling him.

Yang Zhen looked at the Divine Transformation Stage practitioner in surprise. He saw that the guy had a touchy temperament, but was at least willing to accept a wager. He had agreed to lick when he lost, with no hesitation whatsoever.

Yang Zhen was rather appreciative of that kind of character.

“What’s going on?” Yang Zhen looked at the Divine Transformation Stage practitioner and asked.

The Divine Transformation Stage practitioner chuckled and said, “Boss Yang, that’s what I should call you, right? You’re looking for that young monk? Well, it’s a coincidence that he’s also looking for you. He left a message for you before he left!”

“You rascal!” Liuyou glared at him. “That message was meant for me to deliver to Boss Yang. What are you trying to pull here, snatching someone else’s task?”

“It’s none of your business!” The man glared back, looking ready to start a fight with Liuyou at any moment.

Yang Zhen waved a hand and said, “You two, stop quarreling. I heard the message meant for Sao Saint. Of course, the Western Region’s Sao Saint is bound to go, but not now. Would the two of you be willing to take on a task for me?”

“Yes!” Liuyou and the Divine Transformation Stage practitioner answered in unison, before glaring at each other and simultaneously adding, “Absolutely, yes!”

Yang Zhen nodded and said, “You two, spread the news on Sao Saint’s behalf. Just say that Sao Saint will be waiting for Yunla in the thatched cottage at East City Duck Water Hook Half Slope. If Yunla wants to meet a real heaven-favored one, he should come and fetch Sao Saint himself!”

“Hiss!” The Divine Transformation Stage practitioner and Liuyou simultaneously gasped, exclaiming, “A thatched cottage? How terrifying!”

After they left with faces full of confusion and excitement, Sneaky Cat curiously asked Yang Zhen, “Not going to find them actively?”

Yang Zhen shook his head and replied, “Nope. In this matter, being passive is actually better. Have you ever tasted good food forcibly delivered to your door?”

“Definitely not good tasting!” Sneaky Cat answered decisively and emphasized again, “Absolutely unpalatable!”

“Isn’t that settled then?” Yang Zhen muttered to himself, “Damn, why did they suddenly pick a thatched cottage? Three visits to the thatched cottage? This is getting interesting!”

The thatched cottage on the Half Slope of Duck Water Gully in the East City was brought by Yang Zhen from his recent visit back home. After placing the Ice Palace inside, he set up some magical defenses and formations around it. From the outside, it looked just like a thatched cottage, but inside it was a whole different world.

The strength of these magical defenses and formations were comparable to the Thunder Lustre Hellfire. Not to mention ordinary Divine Transformation Stage practitioners, even those at the Circulation Phase who attempted to break in forcefully would definitely lose half their lives.

Therefore, Yang Zhen wasn’t afraid that his Ice Palace would be exposed.

Even though the brainy guy was not quite effective, the news spread swiftly in the tussle with the Divine Transformation Stage practitioner.

Once the news of Yang Zhen’s presence in Duck Water Gully was out, the entire Northern Island was in an uproar.

Those who had been waiting for Yang Zhen’s appearance all became excited. They stopped eating and rushed towards Duck Water Gully.

Upon arriving at Duck Water Gully, they realized there were many newly set up small shops around, offering a variety of everything from tea houses, bars, amusements, and entertainment.

Inside the Ice Palace, Yang Zhen was comfortably smoking a cigarette, turning to the cat beside him, he said, “How is it? The commercial street set up by this Sao Saint has finally exploded in popularity, hasn’t it?”

The cat meowed with a grin, its eyes wandering as if seeing shining gems everywhere.

Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er were silently watching Yang Zhen with speechless expressions, looking at each other helplessly as they had no idea what to do with Yang Zhen.

From the time the news spread, to Yang Zhen hiring people to build houses, to Duck Water Gully’s commercial street opening for business, in less than ten days as Yang Zhen predicted, the street was bursting with activity. Even Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er, who often came to inspect the shops and the clerks they hired, were exhausted!

The cat looked at Yang Zhen admiringly, “How did you know these people would come to Duck Water Gully?”

Damn, Duck Water Gully, one of the poorest places in the whole of Northern Island, barely saw any practitioners on a regular basis. Those who did show up were just passing by.

Yang Zhen glanced at the cat and said, “This is called the celebrity effect. Sometimes, your fame can be used to make money. The internet celebrities in our village do this much better than this Sao Saint. They will use every means at their disposal.”

The cat howled cheerfully, with an excited expression, “The people in your village are so amazing! Didn’t you say those internet celebrities are made of cream? You must take this Sao Saint to see them when you get the chance!”

Hearing Yang Zhen’s words, Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er also appeared interested, especially Han Yan’er, who glared at Yang Zhen and said, “When you go, don’t forget to take me and my sister!”

“Sister?” Yang Zhen was taken aback and looked at Hua Youyue with a puzzled expression, “When did you become a sister?”

“None of your business!” Han Yan’er’s face turned red as she glared at Yang Zhen, looking like she was about to draw her sword.

“Alright, alright, I won’t meddle!” Yang Zhen waved his hands in surrender.

These two little ladies, who were always chatting about something, suddenly seemed to have reached some kind of agreement.

In contrast, Yang Zhen ended up being left out by the two of them.

At that moment, a loud bang came from Duck Water Gully’s commercial street. Yang Zhen jumped up and asked, “Damn, someone’s causing trouble?”

The cat also widened its eyes and said, “Dare to make a fuss on my turf? Does this bastard not want to live?”
