Chapter 1002: Chapter 1029: Earth Master Skill! A Thousand Years in a Glance! (Second Update) Chapter 1002: Chapter 1029: Earth Master Skill! A Thousand Years in a Glance! (Second Update) Hearing Yang Zhen’s words, the cheeky cat sneered and said, “Kid, you talk a good game. Why don’t I see you making them pay a price right now?”

Yang Zhen glared and retorted fiercely, “Damn it, do you think they have anything good left on them?”

“Of course not. You’ve already tricked them out of everything,” the cheeky cat rolled his eyes at Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen grimaced and said discontentedly, “The fight can wait. Let me ask you, if someone dug up the relics of the Nine Dragons Great Saint’s sect, do you have any way to get them back?”

“This…” The cheeky cat’s eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, “Oh, kid! No wonder you didn’t kill those old fellows. You’ve set your mind on grave robbing. You really are shameless.”

“Mutual feelings!” Yang Zhen shot back at the cheeky cat, “You’re not any better.”

The cheeky cat’s eyes darted around, and he said to Yang Zhen, “Kid, guess what news I heard before you came out?”

Seeing the expression on the cheeky cat’s face, Yang Zhen didn’t feel like talking to this increasingly mysterious jerk. He turned and asked Hua Youyue, “What news?”

Hua Youyue glanced at the cheeky cat, who was full of disdain, and chuckled, “It seems something is up in the Dust-Free Domain. I heard from those practitioners that there were continuous extraordinary visions in the sky above the Dust-Free Domain a few days ago. Because of this, the Dust-Free Holy Land has already lost a Half-step Great Saint. None have breached the domain of these visions. Some say that a Saint Realm powerhouse has arrived in the Dust-Free Domain looking for something…”

At this point, Han Yan’er suddenly interjected, “I heard someone say that the Saint Realm powerhouse who came to the Dust-Free Domain seems to be searching for the Reincarnation Clock.”

Saint Realm powerhouse, Reincarnation Clock!

Upon hearing these two names, Yang Zhen suspected he understood something.

“The Saint Realm powerhouse mentioned by those people must be the Nine Dragons Great Saint, no doubt about that. But when did a Dust-Free Holy Land appear? Could it be that the former sect of the Nine Dragons Great Saint is now known as the Dust-Free Holy Land?”

As he said this, Yang Zhen shook his head, saying, “No, it couldn’t be the Dust-Free Holy Land. If it were, the Nine Dragons Great Saint would have acted by now, and the Dust-Free Holy Land wouldn’t have just lost a Half-step Great Saint for nothing.”

The cheeky cat couldn’t hold back his amazement and leaned in, marveling, “To lose a Half-step Great Saint to a celestial phenomenon, what terrifying place is that? I just wonder if that Dust-Free guy will also go in to see if the Reincarnation Clock is there. If that’s the case, kid, are you going to search for the Reincarnation Clock or to dig graves?”

Yang Zhen glared at the cheeky cat and said testily, “Can’t you stop obsessing about grave digging all the time? What if the Reincarnation Clock and the relics of the Nine Dragons Great Saint’s sect happen to be in the same place?”

“You really dare to dream!” the cheeky cat scoffed at Yang Zhen.

The Central Court, in the age of the Great Desolation called the Central Region, was a vast land with a highly complex mix of sects, and it was the place that practitioners from the four continents–east, west, north, and south–least wanted to visit.

The skills of the practitioners here varied widely, but their methods were mostly profound and inscrutable. Almost every conceivable technique in the cultivation world could be found here.

From insignificant toxics, worms, snakes, and gu, up to the sonorous chantings of the great Dao. Nothing was unimaginable; only unseen.

Although Yang Zhen had never been to such a place, he was very curious.

Sure enough, within a day’s time, there were basically no people left behind them, and Yang Zhen and his companions could vaguely see a vast range of majestic mountains and ridges emerging through the clouds, resembling a giant dragon weaving its way, dazzling and mesmerizing to behold.

This land was rich in dense Heaven and Earth Qi, which amazed Yang Zhen and his companions.

The cheeky cat shook his head and lamented, “It’s over. With such a big place, trying to find one site is as hard as ascending to the heavens. Kid, let’s find Nine Dragons first.”

Yang Zhen nodded. In such a vast area, if he were to search, it really wouldn’t be… that difficult.

As he looked around, Yang Zhen suddenly remembered the Broken Dragon Plate and immediately broke into a grin.

With this thing in hand, what is there to worry about finding?

Speaking, Yang Zhen looked at the base cat with a face full of mysterious depth and said, “Cheap Cat, do you know what a real Earth Master is like?”

“Earth Master?” Cheap Cat was stunned, then suddenly widened his eyes and asked, “Are you talking about an Earth Master?”

Yang Zhen nodded, and Cheap Cat immediately let out a cry, “Impossible, where did you hear about Earth Masters? Where are there any Earth Masters nowadays? Kid, I’m not well-read, don’t tell me, you are actually an Earth Master?”

Seeing Cheap Cat’s genuinely shocked expression, Yang Zhen shook his head and sighed, saying, “Brother has always wanted to keep a low profile, but my ability really doesn’t allow it. To tell you the truth, I actually am a high-end Earth Master.”

The expressions on the faces of Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er were different, Han Yan’er looked blank, obviously unfamiliar with the term Earth Master, whereas Astrology Master knew of it, but seeing the expressions on the others’ faces, it was clear that Earth Masters and Astrology Masters were not the same.

Unlike the expression on Han Yan’er’s face, upon hearing this, Hua Youyue showed a look of surprise, came over to Yang Zhen, took his hand, and said, “Are you really versed in the arts of an Earth Master?”

Yang Zhen was stunned, why was everyone having this kind of expression?

“What’s the matter?” Yang Zhen curiously looked at Hua Youyue and Cheap Cat and asked, “Is there a problem?”

Hua Youyue hesitated to speak, while Cheap Cat said in a deep voice, “Kid, true Earth Masters can foresee geography a thousand years in advance and reconstruct landscape changes; however, most of these Earth Masters are short-lived. Fortune-telling such things is better off less observed.”

Hearing Cheap Cat’s words, Yang Zhen immediately relaxed, realizing that the two were worried about such things.

Yang Zhen patted Cheap Cat on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, my Earth Master is different from the others.”

Cheap Cat was stunned, opened his mouth, and suddenly his eyes lit up, exclaiming, “Kid, did you receive the inheritance of the Yingling Great Sage?”

Yang Zhen nodded, admitting it, but what even Cheap Cat didn’t know was that Yang Zhen possessed both the Heavenly Book Xuan Chapter and the Ksitigarbha Chapter, along with the inheritance from the Broken Dragon Plate and Yingling Saint, making him even more knowledgeable than the Yingling Saint about Earth Masters, naturally aware of the short-lived disadvantage of Earth Masters.

However… Yang Zhen also had the Heavenly Book’s Attacking Life Chapter, and when combined with the Twelve Blood Refining Xuan Gong and refined with Heaven and Earth Blood Qi, Yang Zhen really wasn’t too worried about wasting his lifespan.

Of course, no one complains about having a long life; Yang Zhen’s longevity was his own, achieved through opportunities and fate, and not something to be squandered indiscriminately.

Thinking this, Yang Zhen let the Heaven Devouring Beast get as close as possible to the airspace above the Dust-Free Domain, closed his eyes, and said to Cheap Cat and Hua Youyue, “Feel it well, maybe we can find the Nine Dragons Great Saint directly.”

After speaking, Yang Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, taking the entire Dust-Free Domain into sight.

Hum–!

A humming sound came, and in the consciousness of Hua Youyue and Cheap Cat, scenes of evolution of heaven and earth began.

In mere moments, Yang Zhen’s face turned pale, and he grunted, stopping the Earth Master Skill. This technique was too consuming, even Yang Zhen couldn’t sustain it for more than a few breaths.

Han Yan’er exclaimed softly, quickly stepped forward to help Yang Zhen, and scolded, “Don’t force yourself if you can’t handle it, what if the Earth Master Skill backfires?”

“How about it, did you find the place?” Yang Zhen patted Han Yan’er’s hand and asked curiously.

Hua Youyue and Cheap Cat looked at each other, and upon hearing this, shook their heads, saying, “Too fast.”

“Not a single discovery?” Yang Zhen was a bit disappointed, it seemed this Earth Master Skill wasn’t all that useful.

Hearing this, Hua Youyue and Cheap Cat exchanged glances and unconsciously shook their heads.

Yang Zhen’s eyes suddenly lit up.
