Chapter 739: Chapter 745: Let’s go beat someone up, Brother! (First update)
Great Yuan Promotion was one of the states that most practitioners longed to enter after their initial cultivation. Besides the promotion through using channeled energy, this was the only method to enhance one’s cultivation state.
Innumerable people were seeking channeled energy, which, however, was exceedingly rare. Throughout history, not many could succeed in obtaining channeled energy, not to mention utilizing channeled energy to further their cultivation.
Those who could acquire channeled energy were no longer mere favored persons; they were heaven and earth’s own children!
Only a favored child of heaven and earth could hold such great fortune and fate.
Therefore, more and more people started pursuing the Great Yuan Promotion. Once enlightened with the Great Yuan Promotion and entered this state, they could enhance their Tiaoist Feeling and even refine their Tiaoist details, obtaining special properties.
That Wu Tao was able to enter the Great Yuan Promotion surprised the likes of Yunla, let alone that Yang Zhen did so in his initial cultivation state.
Yunla gawked at the raging tempest in the air, disbelief written all over his face.
Upon arrival, he had noticed the queer aura on Wu Tao. Even Jin Heng possessed an intensely changing aura. However, the one with the most changes, aside from Wu Tao who was still in transition, was Mo Shuiyan, who hadn’t progressed in a long time!
The presence on Mo Shuiyan truly startled Yunla, causing his expression to continually shift.
Before the three of them journeyed to the Western Region, they had received guidance from the senior members of the Yaochi Holy Land. Their states had improved significantly along the way and their cultivation advanced rapidly. However, upon their arrival on the Northern Island, their advancement plateaued. Following the guidance of the seniors from Yaochi Holy Land, they would enter a significant plateau phase after the bottleneck, a time for consolidating states and cultivation.
But it ended without even starting?
Bottleneck signs were observable on Yunla but the states of Mo Shuiyan and Wu Tao, and even Jin Heng, had risen once again.
This was truly unbelievable. Yunla was utterly dumbstruck and felt a shock deep in his heart.
Yang Zhen, it was all because of Yang Zhen. In the time between his hasty departure and return, he was in a bottleneck period. If nothing unexpected happened, Wu Tao and the other two should also remain in the bottleneck period.
However, the three people around Yang Zhen not only got rid of the bottleneck period, but their states advanced significantly as well. As for Yunla himself…he remained in the bottleneck period.
For a moment, Yunla began to regret. He got berated when he returned home, did not receive Yaochi Holy Land’s guidance, and became the butt of jokes in the Western Regions. When he returned utterly humiliated, he found an improvement in the states of his companions.
All these, weren’t they because of Yang Zhen?
Yunla looked at Yang Zhen with sparks flying from his eyes. He walked over to Yang Zhen, squatted down and said, “Enough with your drawing circles, come with me to the Western Region now.”
Yang Zhen looked up curiously at Yunla who had gone and returned, “What’s the rush?”
The rush for what?
Yunla really wanted to curse out loud but having broken enough of his inhibitions over time, he took several deep breaths to calm himself, put on a smile and said, “The people in the Western Region, they don’t believe you cultivated the small method to manifest the twenty Heavenly Brilliances, they are making fun of…”
Yang Zhen waved his hand dismissively, looked at Wu Tao with a gloomy expression and said, “Let them laugh. Who does not get laughed at these days?”
This…
Yunla looked at Yang Zhen, flabbergasted.
Had Yang Zhen turned over a new leaf?
If it were the Yang Zhen of the past, he probably would have thrown a punch at anyone who dared make fun of him. But now, he remained unmoved despite being the laughingstock of the entire Western Region?
Yunla did not know that Yang Zhen was out of sight, out of mind. Yang Zhen ignored others since nobody made fun of him to his face. Would they dare laugh at him in his presence?
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, stood up and muttered to himself, “Damn, there are more and more little fangirls. From now on, never casually offer cultivation guidance, cunning cat!”
“What’s up?” The sneaky cat came up to Yang Zhen with a naughty grin on his face.
Yang Zhen looked at the sneaky cat and said, “If I ever try to give someone cultivation advice in the future, remind me, or sabotage me, so I cannot instruct anyone. Got it?”
Excited, the sneaky cat nodded rapidly and eagerly replied, “Sure, I am perfect for the job. I enjoy causing trouble.”
Yunla, who was figuring out how to ask Yang Zhen for instruction, stunned after hearing their conversation. He squatted on the ground, drawing circles and gave Yang Zhen a resentful glance. Next to Yang Zhen’s circles, he drew a bigger one and traced over it repeatedly.
He closed himself off!
Boom——!
The violent Tiaoist details in mid-air exploded suddenly. Wu Tao inhaled deeply. After gradually collecting the Tiaoist details, the look other people gave had changed. She appeared before Yang Zhen, her eyes turned into crescents and said, “Yang Zhen, thank you. I felt it.”
Yang Zhen curled his lips and asked, “What did you feel?”
Wu Tao paused, unsure why Yang Zhen had that expression. She said, “Just like what you said, looking at the mountain as a mountain, not as a mountain. Now the entire world in front of me appears more profound and detailed which is completely different than before.”
Of course, it’s different! You have now fallen into this Sao Saint’s trap. Remember to bring gifts when you come to visit Sao Saint while seeking to advance yourself in the future.
Yang Zhen inhaled deeply, tousled Wu Tao’s hair, and said, “Very good. You are doing well. Keep up the hard work, and you’ll reach further into the Microcosm Realm.”
“Microcosm?”
Yunla, still drawing circles on the ground, suddenly looked up. Startled, he glanced between Yang Zhen and Wu Tao, and exclaimed, “Has Wu Tao entered the Microcosm Realm?”
How fresh! Yang Zhen looked at Yunla impatiently.
Sao Saint’s path has always been in the Microcosm Realm. Since Wu Tao follows Sao Saint’s path, reaching Microcosm Realm could be done in minutes, couldn’t it?
Wu Tao, looking rather exhilarated, nodded and said, “I will work hard. But why do I suddenly feel that your aura is different?”
“What is different?” Yang Zhen became interested. This was the first time someone mentioned that, after his cultivation, his aura had changed.
Yang Zhen looked at himself curiously up and down, and asked again, “Is there anything different with my aura?”
A hint of shyness flashed in the young girl’s eyes, yet she boldly looked at Yang Zhen and said, “It feels more friendly like there’s a certain bond. It’s subtly drawing me closer.”
Yang Zhen stared dumbfounded at Wu Tao, who transformed from a fierce young girl to a graceful beauty, feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Wu Tao suddenly reverted to her lighthearted self. With a smile, her eyes curled into crescents as she said to Yang Zhen, “Shall we have a test of strength?”
Yang Zhen hastily shook his head, “Are you joking? Regardless of Wu Tao’s entry into the Microcosm Realm, her combat power hasn’t improved much. How much can she cry after receiving a punch?”
Seeing the sparkle in the young girl’s eyes, Yang Zhen put on an indignant face and squatted in front of Yunla. He shouted angrily at Yunla, “Did you say that those Western Region fellows dare to look down on Sao Saint?”
Before Yunla could react, Yang Zhen leaped up and said, “Damn it! How can they dare to belittle Sao Saint? I guess they won’t get why the flowers are so red until I show them some colors!”
At hearing this, Yunla rejoiced!
Wu Tao paused while watching Yang Zhen, “So…are we still going to compete?”
“To hell with competing!” Yang Zhen came up to Wu Tao, placed his hands on her shoulders, and said, “Let your brother take you out to beat people up!”
