Invincible Starting from Max Level Attributes

Chapter 738: Chapter 744: A Word Becomes a Maxim! Great Yuan Promotion! (Third Update)

“There’s trouble in the Western Region!”

Upon hearing Yunla’s words, Mo Shuiyan and Jin Heng’s faces instantly changed.

Trouble was no stranger to the Western Region; however, anything concerning the Four Heavenly Beings was definitely associated with this search for the Heavenly Talented Individuals, suggesting that it must involve the Third Saintess of Yaochi Holy Land.

Mo Shuiyan looked at Yunla, her face stern as she asked, “What happened?”

Yunla’s face turned peculiar as he glanced at Yang Zhen, who was still squatting on the ground and inscribing circles, and said, “Two incredibly gifted individuals have emerged in the Southern Region, gaining the Heavenly Favor and glimpsing the great Dao. Yaochi Holy Land has beckoned them into the Jade Pool. It’s rumored that these two have high chances of representing this generation of Heavenly Talented Individuals.”

As expected!

A glint of curiosity crossed in Mo Shuiyan’s face as she exclaimed, “Glimpsing the Dao… receiving Heavenly Favor and even being fortunate enough to enter the Jade Pool – just how talented are these two?”

Yunla let out a bitter laugh and replied, “As to how talented they are right now, this humble monk doesn’t know. All I’ve heard is that both of them mastered the Nine Heavenly Brilliances, breaking a millennia-old record.”

“Nine Heavenly Brilliances?” scorn flashed across Mo Shuiyan’s face as she questioned resentfully, “What’s the big deal about Nine Heavenly Brilliances? Not to mention nine… even with nineteen Heavenly Brilliances, they’re nothing in front of Yang Zhen. Why were they invited into Jade Pool so early? Why didn’t Yaochi wait for our return?”

Yunla, taken aback, gave Yang Zhen a bitter smile and a knowing nod. He brought his knuckles together before his chest in a respectful salute, shaking his head sadly as he said, “Indeed, as this humble monk feared, the Nine Heavenly Brilliances are essentially meaningless to Brother Yang. However, over the past two ten-thousand-year cycles, there has never been a Heavenly Talented Individual like Yang Zhen. I have brought up Brother Yang’s achievements to the leader of Yaochi Forest, but…”

“But what?” Mo Shuiyan snapped, “Is it possible that the head of Yaochi Holy Land refused to act impartially? If the Third Saintess found out about this, wouldn’t it cost them their lives?”

Yunla shook his head, saddened, “Whether their lives would be forfeit, this humble monk does not know. When I told the leader of Yaochi Holy Land that Yang Zhen had cultivated twenty Heavenly Brilliances, causing phenomena of heaven and earth, they… they…”

“Oh, come on, what is it?” Jin Heng impatiently urged, “Brother Yunla, speak frankly! You didn’t use to be so hesitant.”

Mo Shuiyan nodded in agreement, “That’s right. If they didn’t dare to manipulate things privately, then why didn’t they wait for us to return? How did you end up coming back by yourself?”

Yunla sighed, casting a strange look at Yang Zhen before answering, “Very well, this humble monk will be blunt about it. When I told Yaochi Holy Land what had transpired, I was ridiculed and insulted by some individuals from the Southern region. Their mockery was so extreme that it frustrated me to no end.”

“What?” Mo Shuiyan’s eyes widened in anger, “This is outrageous! They didn’t believe you?”

“Of course they didn’t. Not only them, but even I could hardly believe it during journey that there exists a person able to cultivate twenty Heavenly Brilliances using just two minor techniques.”

Mo Shuiyan said in a deep voice, “So they didn’t believe you and instead laughed at you, which is why you rushed back here. You want us to return as quickly as possible?”

Yunla nodded, gritting his teeth in anger, “Those scoundrels… I’ll never forget their faces. Given that Yang Zhen, without a doubt, reached the twenty Heavenly Brilliances, they’ll be forced to believe it. When we return this time, I want to see their faces. Nothing less will extinguish my rage.”

Mo Shuiyan and Jin Heng exchanged a glance, their faces filled with anticipation as they said, “Then what are we waiting for? I too, am looking forward to their expressions when they see Yang Zhen.”

Yunla nodded, saying, “There’s no time to lose. Since everything is settled here, we should hurry back to prevent those people from taking the initiative.”

Obtaining the initiative was not something that anyone who wished for it could easily seize. Nor was it something that could be taken at will. Without sufficient strength, attempting to seize it was a joke. By the time those with the strength to seize it are ready, it would have been long gone, making it a tragedy in its own right.

Clearly, Yunla and his colleagues took this event very seriously, or otherwise he would not have traveled a long distance back and forth over five days, not to mention debating with others for quite some time.

Speaking of that, Yunla seemed impatient as he turned to go, but then he spun back around, studying Wu Tao as he said, “Wu Tao’s aura feels strange. What’s she up to? Has she… has she achieved an epiphany?”

Before anyone could respond, Yunla looked up at the sky and muttered, “That’s strange. This place is barren and the Heaven and Earth Qi is low. There’s nothing here that could trigger sudden enlightenment. What on earth could have happened to Wu Tao?”

“What exactly happened?”

Hearing Yunla’s words, Mo Shuiyan and Jin Heng exchanged glances. Mo Shuiyan sneered at Yang Zhen and said, “Senior Brother Yunla is correct. There’s nothing in this place that could lead to sudden enlightenment, but there is a person here who can…a person!”

“A person who leads to enlightenment?” Yunla’s face changed. He looked around bewildered and mumbled to himself, “What does she mean by a person who leads to enlightenment? Huh, what is Brother Yang doing? Studying new formation inscriptions?”

Upon hearing Yunla’s words, Mo Shuiyan was livid.

It was evident that Wu Tao had achieved enlightenment through Yang Zhen. Anyone else in such a situation would have been overjoyed since it mattered to their personal charm and the inheritance of the Taoist Feeling.

If another person found themselves as the enlightenment source for such a lovely and adorable girl, they could boast about it for a lifetime.

But Yang Zhen, on the contrary, seemed almost catatonic, like he was reluctant.

That idiot! – Mo Shuiyan felt a strong urge to ask Yang Zhen whether it was because Wu Tao wasn’t beautiful or cute enough for him, or her power didn’t impress him. What made him show such a gloomy face?

If anyone should be having such a reaction, it should be Wu Tao. After all, achieving enlightenment through another person was absurd and extremely incomprehensible, even though the enlightenment process could increase their level as the enlightened individual levitates. The levitation process was simple and fast, but who knew if the person they were reliant on for enlightenment would die the next day?

If that happened, Wu Tao wouldn’t even have a place to cry.

When Yunla learned of the whole story through Mo Shuiyan and Jin Heng, his face was filled with complex expressions, like those involved in the Star Calculation Skill.

Yunla’s face expressed joy and fear at times. He wanted to say something to Wu Tao but hesitated. Finally, he managed a bitter smile and said, “Even though I don’t know why this happened, since it already has, we can only let fate decide.”

At this point, Yunla tried to suppress a laugh, shaking his head at Wu Tao. “Wu Tao, you are too reckless. Forsaking her training for five days is one thing, and it’s a good thing her level could rise. But she doesn’t need to abandon her own path to enlightenment through Brother Yang. What if Brother Yang… ”

“Senior Brother Yunla!” – Mo Shuiyan cut him off abruptly, shaking her head, motioning for him to stop speaking.

Yunla’s face fell. He sighed, “I don’t know whether this is good or bad for Wu Tao!”

“It’s a good thing!” – Jin Heng suddenly said, his face solemn.

Yunla blinked in surprise, looking at Jin Heng and asked, “How can you be so sure?”

Jin Heng opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment before replying, “I…just know!”

Yunla chuckled, “Oh well, it’s your journey. You will have to walk it yourselves. Take care!”

Both Mo Shuiyan and Jin Heng looked worried, their eyes glued to Wu Tao.

Just then, Wu Tao moved. She looked up at the sky, and her Qi rose fiercely, scaring everyone present.

Upon seeing this, Yunla was the first to change expressions. He quickly wanted to rush up to her but then his face turned pale, and he cried out, “The Great Yuan Promotion, how is that possible!”
