Chapter 723: Chapter 729: Is There Background Music Here? (Third update)
Seeing the expressions on Yang Zhen’s group’s faces, Yunla paused, then asked in surprise, “What, is there a problem?”
Yang Zhen nodded with a serious face and said, “There is a problem, a big problem.”
Yunla and the others’ expressions changed, and they asked in an odd tone, “What kind of problem? Does Brother Yang has a secret he can’t share?”
Everyone had strange looks on their faces. They didn’t know what trick Yang Zhen was playing, but they all craned their necks towards where Yang Zhen was, afraid of missing any details.
The five favoured ones from the Northern Island scoffed. The young practitioner with the surname Wang laughed out loud, looking at Yang Zhen and said, “This Yang Zhen, obviously, he considered that method as an ordinary cultivation method, tsk tsk, truly pitiful.”
“I wonder what the expression on his face will be like when he learns the method’s practice. I am quite looking forward to it.”
“What do you guys think, how many Heavenly Brilliances can Yang Zhen cultivate?” someone curiously asked.
The young man named Wang paused, looked at the questioner, laughed and said, “So it’s Brother Song Chong. I’ve heard that when you practiced that little method, you did it in one breath, and astonishingly cultivated out six of the top Heavenly Brilliances in the Northern Island, just one less than Yunla and the others?”
Song Chong chuckled and humbly responded, “It was just a coincidence for me. This cultivation method complements the legacy of my cultivation method. Otherwise, maybe I couldn’t even cultivate four Heavenly Brilliances.”

“Brother Song, you’re too modest. If you could only cultivate four Heavenly Brilliances, wouldn’t I be unworthy of being one of the favoured ones?”
…
The five of them were laughing and talking, all with mocking faces as they looked at Yang Zhen.
In response to Yunla’s curious inquiry, Yang Zhen replied seriously, “Are you still looking for other favoured ones?”
“The ten from Northern Island are already enough. As long as Brother Yang is successful, we’ll depart for the Western Region soon.”
Yunla patiently answered Yang Zhen’s question, looking at Yang Zhen’s eyes becoming even more puzzled.
The witch anxiously asked, “What’s with you? What’s the problem? Do you want to kill me with suspense?”
Yang Zhen looked at the witch, sighed and said, “Since you’re not looking for others, let’s talk about it. Actually, it’s not so much a problem, just that if I practice your method, it might cause others to question their lives, making them too embarrassed to continue practicing.”
As soon as Yang Zhen opened his mouth, everyone almost bit their tongues, looking at Yang Zhen with wide eyes and tongues tied, as if he was a madman.
“This… is shameless. What does he mean by once he practices, others will question their lives? What does he think he can cultivate the legendary Ten Instant Heavenly Hues?”
“I heard that Yang Zhen has a smooth time practicing any method, maybe he could cultivate Ten Instant Heavenly Hues.”
“Hehe, if he can cultivate Ten Instant Heavenly Hues, from then on I won’t practice anymore. I’ll just return to my sect and guard the Tianshun Pavilion for the rest of my life.”
“Turns out you are from the Ancient Origin Holy Land, my apologies for my ignorance!”
…
The five favoured ones from the Northern Island laughed at Yang Zhen’s words. Yunla and others were also taken aback, laughing and saying to Yang Zhen, “Since Brother Yang is so confident, it saves me from running back and forth. In that case, I will let you know this method, but before that, Brother Yang, you have to promise one thing.”
“Is it not to reveal the method of practice?” Yang Zhen asked curiously.
Yunla nodded, grinning and saying, “It seems Brother Yang has already guessed it. Can Brother Yang do it?”
“Of course!”
He thought there was no way to spread this kind of cultivation method. Otherwise wouldn’t everyone in the world become one of the favoured ones?
Since not everyone could become a favored one, this method of cultivation might pose some danger, no, it must definitely pose some danger.
Looking at the expressions on Yunla’s faces, Yang Zhen grew increasingly curious about this method of cultivation.
And there was this Ten Instant Heavenly Hues thing the five favored ones referred to, it sounded pretty grand.
As Yang Zhen was lost in curiosity, Yunla chuckled and asked, “Brother Yang, are you ready?”
“Huh?” Yang Zhen was startled, he asked, “Are you going to instruct right here?”
Yunla nodded, moved beside Yang Zhen, pointed his finger at the spot between Yang Zhen’s eyebrows, and spoke. “The method is tricky to practice. After I teach you the method, Brother Yang should take three days for contemplation. If you can’t start in three days then…”
“No need!” Feeling a bit odd as he received the cultivation method from Yunla, Yang Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, looking puzzled, he asked, “What can this method of cultivation prove?”
This was a method to connect with the universe, nothing extraordinary about it, it was not like a cultivation method at all, it seemed more like something used for personal development.
Once one practiced this method, they could dine on dew in the morning and Zixia at night, it is something a freewheeling person like Yang Zhen would practice.
A bewildered Yang Zhen wondered, didn’t they say it was to determine whether he was one of the favored ones? Didn’t the favored ones need to eat?
Eating was one of the great joys of all living creatures. Especially for Yang Zhen, he couldn’t resist delicious food. Just like that damned scoundrel cat, who Yang Zhen suspected didn’t need to eat at all, but when it saw delicious food, it drooled as much as a dog trotting in it.
This state, known on the Blue Planet as fasting, meant that after a certain level of practice, you would no longer need eating grains.
But what the hell did this have to do with being one of the favored ones?
Yang Zhen increasingly believed that this Third Saintess of Yaochi was a great scam artist, no, a great chasm!
Seeing the weird expression on Yang Zhen’s face, Yunla and the others were taken aback, they said with surprise, “What can it prove? I don’t know. The Third Saintess simply commanded me to pass on this method, I’m merely doing my duty.”
Yang Zhen pointed at the five people behind Yunla and asked, “So, all of them practiced this method, and then they were recognized as favored ones?”
Before Yunla could speak, Song Chong sneered and said, “Yang Zhen, could it be that you are doubting the Yaochi Holy Land? Practice if you can, it’s not a shame if you can’t. We spent three days barely understanding the method and have still not grasped its essence. You just received the method, and you’re already questioning it. Do you think we’re all fools?”
Yang Zhen shook his head, “Whether you’re fools or not, only you can tell. I, Sao Saint, am simply curious about the use of this thing. If you can’t explain, don’t babble. No one treats you like a mute.”
“You…” Song Chong’s face turned hostile green. He respectfully said to Yunla, “From Song’s point of view, Yunla, this Yang Zhen is all show, no substance. He doesn’t even deserve to be a favored one, let alone be successful at cultivation, especially when he’s expressing doubt about Yaochi Holy Land.”
Yunla only laughed and said, “Song, you’ve misunderstood. The favored one will be the favored one. If one isn’t born a favored one, one can’t become one through cultivation.”
Saying this, Yunla laughed, turned around, and said to Yang Zhen, “Brother Yang, I have taught you the method. After three days, we are coming back. As for your question, if ever you are fortunate enough to meet the Third Saintess, you can ask her.”
Upon hearing this, quite a few people around them mocked and laughed at Yang Zhen, turning around and walking away.
Yunla also put his hands together, turned around, and was about to leave.
“Wait!” Yang Zhen pursed his lips and said, “It is simply a fasting method after all, why wait three days? Sao Saint can now do it right in front of your eyes.”
“What?”
Yunla shook, turned around, and looked at Yang Zhen incredulously, he looked quite flabbergasted when he asked doubtfully, “Brother Yang, are you saying… you’ve already understood it?”
No, I am fucking mastered it!
Yang Zhen looked invincibly lonely, he turned to the scoundrel cat and asked, “Do we have any BGM here?”
