Chapter 1003: Chapter 1030: The Strong Gather! The Pinnacle of the Saint Realm! (Three Updates) Chapter 1003: Chapter 1030: The Strong Gather! The Pinnacle of the Saint Realm! (Three Updates) It’s good to have a discovery!

Seeing the gaze of the two people, Yang Zhen grinned and asked, “What did you discover?”

Looking at Yang Zhen with a strange expression, the disdainful cat shook his head and said, “Kid, your cultivation is too low. A mere glance at a thousand years is just a fleeting moment when it comes to the Great Desolation era that easily spans tens of thousands of years. I can only discern some abnormalities through the evolution of the world this time.”

Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, “It’s good to have abnormalities. I’m not a divine being, I can’t see through tens of thousands of years in one glance, let alone the Great Desolation era from thirty thousand years ago. Who knows what happened then? Quick, tell me, what abnormalities did you see?”

Hearing Yang Zhen’s words, the disdainful cat pointed to a location not far ahead and said, “Right there, that peak is definitely not normal!”

The place the disdainful cat pointed at was not far, but the vantage point from where the group stood was indeed too high. After seeing the direction the cat pointed in, Yang Zhen muttered to himself, “It’ll still take half a day to get there, and in half a day’s time, it might all be over.”

They had to hurry, as the Nine Dragons Great Saint had already been discovered. If he found the ruins of his former sect, it would be impossible for even the forces of the Saint Realm experts to prevent everyone from entering.

Besides, even if the Nine Dragons Great Saint resorted to preventing everyone from entering, surely some rats would manage to slip through, right?

Once the direction pointed out by the disdainful cat was confirmed, Yang Zhen immediately said to the Heaven Devouring Beast, “Quick, buddy, fly in that direction, as fast as you can!”

The Heaven Devouring Beast, having been tamed by Yang Zhen, let out a roar and darted off at lightning speed, covering thousands of yards in the blink of an eye.

The disdainful cat looked hesitant, and after a moment of contemplation, Hua Youyue came over to Yang Zhen and said, “I have a bad feeling, as if something big is going to happen in the Dust-Free Domain. There might be some changes in heaven and earth.”

Yang Zhen looked at Hua Youyue and said, “With such an obvious celestial phenomenon, changes are bound to happen. This place is filled with continuous mountains, and although the Dust-Free Domain is just one domain, it’s too vast. Let’s find the Nine Dragons Great Saint first.”

Hua Youyue nodded and took Yang Zhen’s hand gently, saying, “Be careful, I always feel like that shadow in the World in the Plate hasn’t really disappeared.”

Yang Zhen laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying, “No way, that shadow is at least of Emperor Realm cultivation. Under the current laws of heaven and earth, there’s simply no room for such a being to exist. Even if there were, it wouldn’t appear so soon.”

Hearing this, Hua Youyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he said that, Yang Zhen, unaware of what might happen next, did not plan to be too ostentatious, as it would make him an easy target.

So, as they neared the peak pointed out by the disdainful cat, Yang Zhen let the Heaven Devouring Beast roam free.

Having been sealed in the Nine Dragon Coffin for who knows how many years, the Heaven Devouring Beast was overjoyed to be free and not have to follow Yang Zhen, prancing excitedly in mid-air and constantly urging them to hurry up with their important tasks.

Yang Zhen and the others looked at each other, all chuckling and casting a white glance at the Heaven Devouring Beast.

An ancient fierce beast had degenerated to such a clownish state, Yang Zhen himself didn’t know whether taming it was a good or bad thing, as it almost tarnished the reputation of Sao Saint.

As Yang Zhen and his companions descended through the air, they were stunned by the sight of a mountainous crowd in front of them.

Especially Yang Zhen, looking at the sea of people ahead, muttered to himself, “Damn, if I knew it would be like this, why bother with Earth Master Skill? Just head toward where the crowd is thickest.”

Above the peak, people were everywhere, but the cultivation of these practitioners varied widely, and there were even those at the Divine Transformation Stage.

However, these Divine Transformation Stage practitioners were clearly not the main characters. To Yang Zhen’s surprise, there were quite a few Half-step Great Saints radiating vast and fluctuating auras but looking up at the peak with respectful faces as if there was some incredible being above.

After all, Yang Zhen himself was a Celestial Phase Ninth Heavenly Layer expert. When he arrived among the crowd, many people quickly made way for him.

“Fellow Daoist, what happened here?” Yang Zhen asked, looking at a somewhat honest-looking man beside him.

The man scratched his head and said, “Listening to your accent, you don’t sound like you’re from the Central Court. Did you just arrive here?”

“Isn’t that the case!” Yang Zhen grinned, revealing an innocent smile, then asked, “Fellow practitioner, what’s happened here with so many people, and so many Half-step Great Saints waiting around for what exactly?”

Yang Zhen’s muddled dialect made the honest-looking man frown, clearly unable to discern from Yang Zhen’s accent where he was from.

The cheeky cat, Hua Youyue, and Han Yan’er all looked at Yang Zhen with astonishment, especially the cheeky cat, whose face showed such intense curiosity it almost couldn’t be contained.

After hearing Yang Zhen’s words, the honest-looking man glanced around and whispered to Yang Zhen, “It’s not really a secret anymore. Five days ago, it’s said that an Emperor Realm Expert suddenly came here and entered into an epiphany on the summit peak. He hasn’t woken up since, and nobody has gone up to disturb him. Even the Half-step Great Saints can only wait respectfully below.”

Yang Zhen was startled by this, as it was very likely that the Saint Realm expert was the Nine Dragons Great Saint. However, there were strong prohibitions at the summit peak, and Yang Zhen couldn’t sense the aura from above, so it was hard to judge.

But this was not necessarily the case; it might not be the Nine Dragons Great Saint above, but the Saint Realm expert who wanted to find trouble with him. If that were the case, then Yang Zhen would have to be ready to flee for his life.

Yang Zhen curiously looked up at the summit peak, where everything was shrouded in mist, and he could barely make out a few rugged stones, unable to discern even the grass or the trees.

“Just an Emperor Realm Expert having an epiphany, why are so many people gathering around here?” Yang Zhen, maintaining his habit of asking questions to the very end, looked even more innocently curious.

The man snorted and said with a wry smile, “What else could it be? This is an Emperor Realm Expert we’re talking about. If an Emperor Realm Expert appears here instead of some other place, it means this spot must be special. Recently, the Dust-Free Domain has seen frequent miracles. Who knows, maybe some wondrous artifact will appear right here.”

Yang Zhen, wide-eyed and slack-jawed, looked at the man who had picked up the dialect so quickly, his face a picture of sudden realization as he nodded and said, “So that’s how it is. It’s said that the Reincarnation Clock might appear here. I wonder if it’s true or not. Also, who exactly is this Saint Realm expert? Surely there’s someone who has seen them, right?”

The man grinned, slyly pointed at a few Half-step Great Saints at the front of the crowd and said, “See them? Those are the powerhouses from the Dust-Free Domain. It’s said that one of the Half-step Great Saints caught a glimpse of the Saint Realm expert in a flash, and then just started waiting here, and it’s already been five days.”

Yang Zhen clicked his tongue in wonder; so those Half-step Great Saints were the powerhouses of the Dust-Free Domain.

The Dust-Free Domain was one of the most powerful forces in the Central Court today, and this place was near the Dust-Free Domain, so it made sense that strongmen from the Dust-free Holy Land could reach here in no time.

Just as Yang Zhen was about to ask some more questions, sudden waves of energy fluctuated in mid-air, and everyone turned to look in that direction.

Yang Zhen was also full of curiosity. Following the crowd’s gasps, he looked up and immediately had a strange expression on his face.

A group of about a dozen people were rushing over, their fierce auras appearing as though they were on a quest to challenge the Saint Realm expert.

If it weren’t for the fact that these people were all of Half-step Great Saint cultivation, Yang Zhen might have believed it.

“Half-step Great Saints, oh my, so many Half-step Great Saints. It seems the news has spread far and wide. Who knows when the Reincarnation Clock will appear.”

“What Reincarnation Clock? I’d rather not have it appear here. With a Saint Realm expert and so many Half-step Great Saints around, we might not even get a chance to catch a glimpse.”

“You’re wrong there, my friend. Even just getting a glimpse should fill us with contentment. Whatever the wondrous treasure, it’s sure to end up in the hands of the Saint Realm expert.”

“Look quick, those Saint Realm experts are almost here.”

Hearing these words, Yang Zhen’s face showed a hint of surprise; these people were moving quite fast.

Looking up again, Yang Zhen’s expression instantly turned amused.

Those dozen or so Half-step Great Saints were none other than Xue Shou and his group.

Oh boy, their speed really is impressive. It seems someone has accurate information and has taken fewer detours than Yang Zhen and his group.
