Chapter 726: Chapter 732: Everyone, go home and collect your clothes! (Third update)
As everyone knew, the cultivation of Lesser Magic to the highest level only manifested in the state of the Ten Instant Heavenly Hues, where ten Heavenly Brilliances wrapped around the body to form a contiguous halo of light that could instantly elevate a practitioner’s cultivation a notch.
Yunla and the others had been striving to reach the state of ten Heavenly Brilliances so that they could maintain their superiority in the upcoming process after all the people with divine favor assembled. Even though those four from the Western Region who came to the Northern Island with divine favor did not explicitly express it, they had been secretly striving to not only assure their dominance in the process in the Northern Island, but also to keep their leading position in other continents. Only then could they always stay in control during their journey to Yaochi Holy Land.
Until they encountered Yang Zhen, Yunla and the others did well. Although the cultivation of Lesser Magic was vexing, so vexing that it made people want to hit someone, this vexation served to refine their temperaments.
But now… All of that was shattered, utterly shattered.
Yunla gaped at the eleventh Heavenly Brilliance on Yang Zhen’s body, the look of shock in his eyes was so obvious that he couldn’t hide it. He was so astounded that he broke down the second time, crying out in disbelief, startling everyone around him.
How is this possible?
How could anyone cultivate the eleventh Heavenly Brilliance?
Even after seeing the eleventh Heavenly Brilliance on Yang Zhen, Yunla had a sense of incredibility.
The one among the four known as Little Fatty was truly shocked this time. He walked over with a puzzled look on his face, stood not far from Yang Zhen, looked back, then began to count seriously, “One, two, three…ten, te-ten-ten…eleven, yes it’s right, it’s truly the eleventh Heavenly Brilliance. Oh my god, how did he do it?”

Little Fatty’s voice was somewhat innocent and even a bit amusing, but no one on the scene could laugh.
Those who knew what was happening were all staring blankly at Yang Zhen, counting eleven numbers with Little Fatty.
Those who had no clue about what was going on were perplexed, looking left and right. They were utterly baffled, but they knew something big occurred. It seemed like Yang Zhen had actually done something that made the Northern Island proud.
“That’s amazing!”
Somebody let out an odd shriek out of the blue, shouting in an excited tone, “Fucking hell, do you see that? This is the true power of us practitioners of the Northern Island! Is it just cultivating some damn Heavenly Brilliances? Eleven of them count as nothing. Yang Zhen, show them and cultivate fifteen of them!”
“Yeah, cultivate…damn it, fifteen? That’s nothing. Yang Zhen, if you are a real man, show them twenty Heavenly Brilliances, show them what a true person who possesses divine favor is!”
“Hurry, what are you waiting for? Start cultivating right now!”
…
When Yunla listened to the howls of the crowd around him, he was so exasperated, he nearly busted a vein.
Fucking hell, do these jerks not understand what eleven Heavenly Brilliances stand for?
If news of this spreads, even the Third Saintess would probably be startled. This is a scenario that has never taken place in all of history. This is a miracle, no, this is a goddamn supernatural phenomenon.
Never before had anyone heard of someone cultivating the Lesser Magic and obtaining the eleventh Heavenly Brilliance. This Yang Zhen, he was breaking records that had stood for tens of thousands of years, he was a freak among freaks.
Fucking hell, how can such a freak exist?
Yunla’s face was a kaleidoscope of expressions, followed by a look of alarm. He hastily pressed his palms together, appearing sincere as he muttered a Buddhist chant to himself, “Forgive me, forgive me, I’ve actually broken the precept against anger. But, fucking hell, how is this possible?!”
If Yunla and the others were in disbelief, then Song Chong and the others standing behind Yunla were even more astounded. They had already been petrified, all of them stared blankly at Yang Zhen, their eyes losing focus.
— They had just slapped their own faces. Just awhile ago, they were claiming that Yang Zhen couldn’t possibly cultivate the seventh Heavenly Brilliance. It had only been a blink of an eye, and Yang Zhen had nearly produced the Ten Instant Heavenly Hues.
When they heard Wu Tao say that Yang Zhen’s ten Heavenly Brilliances did not amount to the Ten Instant Heavenly Hues, Song Chong and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
But this sigh of relief had not even fully deflated when it got stuck in their throats. If it wasn’t for their advanced cultivation, they would’ve nearly been suffocating.
Eleven!
Even Yunla had only managed to cultivate a minor law of seven Heavenly Brilliances, yet Yang Zhen cultivated eleven in an instant. Mom curses, was Yang Zhen some god-sent punishment for everyone?
In a corner of the crowd, Senior Zhou scoffed coldly, a twinkle of forbidding intent glinting in his eyes. His killing intent flashed and faded. Subtly, he withdrew from the crowd. When he turned around, his face was already a swath of darkened anger.
At this moment, Yang Zhen, who had been daydreaming, suddenly screamed and turned to run, “Oh grass! I just remembered, I’ve left my clothes out at home, it’s going to rain and thunder, everyone disperse and go home to collect the laundry.”
With that, Yang Zhen leaped up, disappearing without a trace within a blink of an eye. If it wasn’t for the petty cat quickly jumping onto Yang Zhen’s shoulder, even it would not have been able to keep up with his speed.
Faced with Yang Zhen’s image fading away, surrounded by eleven Heavenly Brilliances, everyone else was left flabbergasted.
It’s apparently going to rain, that would be odd on such a sunny day.
After a long time, the crowd, giving each other awkward glances, gave an alarmed scream and rushed hastily toward the direction Yang Zhen had gone.
But even Yunla, who was exceedingly fast, was not able to catch up with Yang Zhen. How could the rest of them possibly keep up?
Among them all, only the least noticeable, the wild loli, had a glint of doubt in her eyes. Suddenly, a surge of True Essence erupted from her body. Like a tiny exquisite grenade, she, with a bang, pushed to the front of the crowd, trailing far behind Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen kept running while people followed suit. The more they chased, the more people were left behind. Soon, even Yunla and the others could only gape as Yang Zhen and the wild loli vanished from sight.
The Little Witch stomped her foot in irritation, spitting out angrily, “That bastard Yang Zhen! Cultivating eleven Heavenly Brilliances is sure to cause a sensation in the world of cultivation. Why did he run off?”
Yunla had the look of someone baffled and at a loss. He simply stood rooted to the spot, staring in the direction of Yang Zhen’s disappearance. He was a picture of silent contemplation and confusion in the wind.
“What do we do? Yunla, do we follow him or not?” The Little Witch seemed discontent, biting her lip in anger. She looked nothing short of a stubborn fairy.
Yunla glared with clenched teeth, saying, “Chase!”
The trio continued their relentless pursuit. Before long, they stumbled upon the wild loli standing in complete bewilderment. Their hearts thudded.
The Little Witch hurried over to the wild loli and asked, “Wu Tao, where is Yang Zhen?”
“I lost him during the chase!” A rather dumbfounded Wu Tao slowly turned around to look at the three people following behind her, only now did she seem to snap back to reality.
“What?” The Little Witch agitatedly stamped her foot, teeth clenched, “What kind of movement cultivation did this bastard train in? How could he be speedier than you?”
Wu Tao wore a bitter smile and said, “If he fully unleashed his speed, even two of me could not catch up. The speed he displayed earlier was achieved under extreme torment.”
“That’s impossible!” The Little Witch’s face went blank and she exclaimed in disbelief, “Who in the world could explode with such a frightening speed?”
Yet Yunla’s chief concern was not this; he anxiously turned to the Little Witch and asked, “Yang Zhen was in torment a while ago? Does it mean he has hit a cultivation bottleneck? How about it, have they cultivated the Ten Hua … Eleven Hua Instant?”
Wu Tao shook her head.
Yunla let out a big sigh of relief and said, “That’s good, that’s good. Otherwise, I would’ve begun to doubt the meaning of my life.”
“On his body, several more Heavenly Brilliances had erupted…”
“What?” Yunla nearly bit his own tongue.
