“That doesn’t seem very likely!”
Hua Youyue gave Yang Zhen an odd look before she continued, “The Eastern Desolation Emperor was a ruler from the ancient era, he disappeared a long time ago. How could he possibly leave his imperial mark on Yang Zhen? Besides, why would he do that in the first place?”
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen nodded, “Indeed, that’s not quite probable.”
The sneering cat added, “Well, there’s only one other possibility then. You possess something that belongs to the Eastern Desolation Emperor. This entity happens to react with the Emperor’s mark, resulting in this bizarre affliction on your chest.”
Yang Zhen’s eyes lit up at this possibility!
He may lack many things, but he certainly had plenty of items. However, most of his items were kept in his storage ring and had no direct contact with him.
Moreover, Yang Zhen had so many items on him that even after he had killed two practitioners at the Void Cultivation Stage due to an unexpected hitch, he stiffly held out and took their storage rings. Only then did he retreat with his cat.
When it came to something related to the Eastern Desolation Emperor, Yang Zhen, for the life of him, couldn’t recall what it could be.
This mark on his chest was too peculiar, as if it was painted in fresh blood under his skin. Yang Zhen could even feel the blood vessels pulsating within the imprint.
The room fell silent as everyone stared with intrigue at the imperial mark on Yang Zhen’s chest.
After a moment of thought, Yang Zhen declared, “I can’t think of anything on me that is linked to the Eastern Desolation Emperor.”
Hua Youyue and Medicine Elder paused at his words before they remarked, “Then we might have a bit of a problem here!”
The sneering cat chortled, “Why would that be troublesome? Now that we’re free, we could just head over to Wanhua Island and unravel the mystery behind the disappearance of the Eastern Desolation Emperor. We might even gain widespread attention. At that time, even if I wanted to lay…wait, what do you think you’re doing?”
Yang Zhen abruptly seized the cat and declared, “To Wanhua Island!”
The cat’s eyes twinkled as it replied, “Really? First, let go of me. Don’t worry. Even if you didn’t hold on to me, I’d still follow you wherever you go, especially for such an intriguing matter.”
Hua Youyue hesitated for a moment before she nodded, “That might be a good idea. Once we’re there, we might solve the enigma regarding you. Wait… wait for me to handle the business here, then I’ll meet you at Wanhua Island.”
Yang Zhen glanced at Hua Youyue and then turned to the Medicine Elder, who seemed as if he wanted to say something but refrained. He took out a high-potency pot that he had modified a few days earlier and presented it for them. “I’ve modified the high-potency pot. I’ve inscribed a bunch of formations and talent inscriptions in it. You should be able to use it for, at the very least, a few years. Even if you craft your potions blindly, they’ll still turn out to be incredible!”
“What?” Hua Youyue and the Medicine Elder jolted in surprise, “So we can craft the Seven-striped Six-star Pills?”
“Naturally. Once I’m gone, what else would you sell to the practitioners?”
Hua Youyue’s eyes shimmered with gratitude. She spoke to the Medicine Elder, “Medicine Elder, why don’t you all wait outside? There are a few words I’d like to share with Yang Zhen.”
The Medicine Elder and the others paused, then appeared to understand and left the room. Even the sneering cat left the room, all the while chuckling and throwing sly glances their way.
Yang Zhen stood stunned, looking at Hua Youyue. He felt awkward as he stuttered, “Um., miss, I know I’m handsome and charming enough to swoon countless young ladies, but… isn’t this a bit too fast?”
Splutter!
Hua Youyue burst out laughing, her face turning pink. She glared at Yang Zhen and said exasperatedly, “What on earth are you thinking? I told you, I genuinely have things to discuss.”
Yang Zhen seemed surprised and scratched his head regretfully, “Is that so?”
Damn it, he thought something interesting might happen. So, it was just a few words.
Just words, no need to send everyone out. It could easily cause misunderstandings.
Hua Youyue, holding back her laughter, turned to Yang Zhen, “Be cautious when you do reach Wanhua Island. The appearance of the Eastern Desolation Emperor’s mark will undoubtedly attract the attention of many powerful individuals. Even members of great influential forces, like Bai Xuan, wouldn’t dare to be too ostentatious on Wanhua Island. I… I’ll wait for you at the Spirit Road!”
“Who is Bai Xuan?” Yang Zhen asked, confused, “And what’s the Spirit Road?”
However, Hua Youyue did not answer his questions. Instead, she gave Yang Zhen an amused look, walked towards him, and to his astonishment, gently hugged him. She whispered in his ear, “Little fellow, don’t be too audacious once you’re on Wanhua Island!”
“Don’t worry, I am the kind of person…”
Yang Zhen was about to say something when Hua Youyue, her face slightly flushed, turned away and left, exiting the room. As she opened the door, there was a cry of surprise, the wretched cat fell from the door, landing headfirst.
“…who keeps a low profile!”
Yang Zhen craned his neck to look outside, but Hua Youyue was nowhere to be seen.
The naughty cat sneaked over, sniffing Yang Zhen and let out a ghostly chuckle, exclaiming, “Kid, you have quite the romantic luck!”
Yang Zhen angrily kicked at it, “Damn it, do you have a dog’s nose or something?”
The cat dodged with a smirk, saying mysteriously, “Come on, why do you have something related to the Eastern Desolation Emperor? What is it? Show it now.”
Yang Zhen smirked, stretching his body and replied, “How the hell would I know what it is? Maybe I’m the reincarnation of the Eastern Desolation Emperor. You’d better behave yourself, or this Divine Lord will slap you till you can’t even meow.”
“Damn!” The cat’s eyes widened, and it said disdainfully, “If you’re the reincarnation of the Eastern Desolation Emperor, then I must be the Heavenly Pond Divine Lord reborn!”
“What’s Heavenly Pond Divine Lord?”
“Ah, nothing, the weather doesn’t seem great today, it’s cloudless!”
“Stay where you are!”
“Wow, I swear, if you lay a hand on me again, believe it or not, I will smack you dead with one slap!”
Yang Zhen didn’t immediately head to Wanhua Island. In fact, he couldn’t if he wanted to. He had no True Essence left in his Dantian, as it was all consumed by an iota of Taoist details. His Nascent Soul was slightly weak.
For the next seven days, Yang Zhen was deep into cultivation.
This was the first time Yang Zhen had seriously focused on cultivation, and he was stunned by his rapid progress.
In just seven days, not only had Yang Zhen returned to peak condition, but he had also broken through to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Stage!
Only after breaking through to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Stage did Yang Zhen’s cultivation speed slow down. The Shangyuan Ancient Scripture could barely catch up with Yang Zhen’s speed and realm, while the Dragon Elephant Prison Shaking Body still had room for growth.
One day, under the clear sky, Yang Zhen took a deep breath, looked up at the cloudy sky, and sighed, “I’m indeed a genius!”
Scoff!
A gentle laugh came from behind. Hua Youyue’s voice reached Yang Zhen’s ears, “There are geniuses everywhere on Wanhua Island. Aren’t you going to take a look?”
Turning around, Yang Zhen stared silently at Hua Youyue for a long time.
Hua Youyue hesitated, her cheeks slightly reddened as she asked smilingly, “What are you thinking about?”
Yang Zhen stared at Hua Youyue with a strange expression, demanding, “Tell me, what happened on Wanhua Island?”
Hua Youyue, surprised, curiously asked, “How did you know?”
“I guessed it!” Yang Zhen blinked his eyes.
“Be careful when you go to Wanhua Island. Someone has threatened to kill you!”
“What?” The cat that had been sunbathing and napping beside him suddenly woke up, its eyes rolling, suggesting, “Kid, I suddenly feel that East Forest Island is pretty good.. How about we just stay here and not go to Wanhua Island?”
