Chapter 1068: Chapter 1094: The Young Lady Appears! (Second Update) Chapter 1068: Chapter 1094: The Young Lady Appears! (Second Update) Based on Yang Zhen’s understanding of the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower, it wasn’t that easy to refine.

However, the Shaking Light Saint was, after all, one of the most outstanding talents of the Central Court, even more gifted than the Pure Spring Saintess. Perhaps he really could succeed in refining it.

Although Heaven and Earth Treasures are great, it wasn’t as if Yang Zhen could hoard all the good stuff in the world for himself; was he supposed to get upset every time someone else refined something worthwhile?

What kind of reasoning is that?

Having realized this, Yang Zhen relaxed, dragged out two small stools, and sat down with Han Yan’er to the side, ready to enjoy the show.

The young miss hadn’t emerged yet; if she wasn’t in a hurry, what was the use of Yang Zhen fretting?

If he rushed in now, he’d probably be torn apart by those five Saints before he even got close to the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower.

Han Yan’er looked at Yang Zhen, puzzled, and curiously asked, “The Nine Realms Exquisite Tower sounds like an incredible Heaven and Earth Treasure, aren’t you going to refine it?”

Yang Zhen glanced at Han Yan’er and said seriously, “Little Daoist enthusiast, that’s a dangerous line of thought. If I were to refine every good thing, wouldn’t that leave no room for other practitioners in the world? Besides, I’m just one person, how many treasures can I refine by myself?”

Han Yan’er couldn’t help but laugh and said, “You clearly don’t dare to go up. You make it sound so lofty and pure. If you were so enlightened, you wouldn’t be targeted by everyone.”

Yang Zhen glared, and if it weren’t for so many people watching, he would have righteously defended himself on the spot. This girl was now learning how to mock others; she might as well just take out her sword and have it out.

People change, especially women, and especially beautiful women.

Yang Zhen decided not to stoop to Han Yan’er’s level.

Just then, Bai Xinsi suddenly clutched her chest and exclaimed, “It’s starting!”

So it’s starting, but what’s with clutching your chest?

Yang Zhen looked at Bai Xinsi with disdain and quickly sat up straight, his eyes shining as he watched the Shaking Light Saint.

Inside his mind, the character had turned into a little man, a miniaturized version of Yang Zhen standing next to this little man, holding a large awl, poking continuously while muttering, “Fail, fail, fail…”

“What are you muttering under your breath?” Han Yan’er asked curiously, looking at Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen chuckled and replied, “It’s nothing. Look at the Shaking Light Saint, isn’t he handsome?”

“Not as handsome as you!” Han Yan’er muttered under her breath, giving Yang Zhen a glance before continuing to focus on the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower.

Yang Zhen wore a face full of smugness, causing Bai Xinsi next to him to look quite sour.

The Shaking Light Saint, worthy of being a Saint Realm powerhouse, approached the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower and leapt up, his hands forming seals rapidly, casting them furiously at the tower.

An expert views the intricacies, while a layman simply enjoys the show. The Shaking Light Saint’s actions made Yang Zhen feel… like one awl just wasn’t going to be enough.

The guy apparently knew the contents of the “Taoist Details” from the Heavenly Book, and the methods he was using, if Yang Zhen were to refine it, he might not be able to do better than the Shaking Light Saint.

That was a bit distressing. He had thought this would be a mere pillow, but it turned out the guy actually had some skills.

Just looking at the screams and cheers of the young maidens and small groups of practitioners around him, they were almost waving glow sticks in their hands.

BOOM!

In mid-air, furious thunderclouds gathered, and the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower flashed with nine brilliant lights, looking exceptionally clear and exquisite. Not just the unsophisticated girls around, but even the unsophisticated Yang Zhen himself was somewhat tempted.

In his heart, the miniaturized version of Yang Zhen now held three sharp awls.

BOOM!

A thunderous noise shook the heavens, and the Shaking Light Saint’s face turned pale as he staggered.

“Yes!”

Yang Zhen slapped his thigh, so excited he nearly jumped up.

Crowds of eyes glared over, almost devouring Yang Zhen alive.

“…So dangerous, Shaking Light Saint, keep it up!” Yang Zhen quickly corrected the word “Yes” that had slipped out.

The Saint snorted coldly and returned his gaze to the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower, while the young women kept glaring at Yang Zhen, as if they would never forgive him unless he apologized.

“Yang Zhen, can he succeed?” Han Yan’er looked up at the sky anxiously as if something about the situation with Yang Zhen above was not quite right to her.

Yang Zhen shook his head and said, “It’s hard to say, it all depends on whether the Shaking Light Saint can gain the recognition of the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower.”

“Recognition?” Bai Xinsi wore a puzzled expression and asked, “Could it be that the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower, as the rumors suggest, has indeed developed its own consciousness?”

It was a fresh idea, after all, if such a Heaven and Earth Treasure as the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower hadn’t developed consciousness, that would be the real surprise.

Having not approached the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower, Yang Zhen was unsure whether it had consciousness or not; nevertheless, the Reincarnation Clock in the young girl’s hand did possess a hint of consciousness.

“Do you mean… that if it’s just about techniques, the Shaking Light Saint could refine the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower?” Han Yan’er asked with concern.

Yang Zhen nodded and said, “Even if he can’t, aren’t there still five great saints beside him?”

What a joke, this was a treasure appraisal event, not a disgraceful assembly!

The Shaking Light Holy Land had brought so many people together to witness the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower breaking the ice coffin’s seal, not to watch the Shaking Light Saint embarrass himself.

These people wouldn’t dare let the Shaking Light Saint attempt to refine the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower without having a method to ensure his success.

Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s explanation, Han Yan’er suddenly had a moment of realization.

Bai Xinsi and the others were even more eager and said, “I wonder how powerful the Shaking Light Saint will become after successfully refining the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower. Such a man is truly a role model for us all. It’s just a matter of how many young girls he will enchant.”

Yang Zhen curled his lip–was this enough to captivate thousands of young girls?

If he, the Sao Saint, were to go up there, wouldn’t all the women in the cultivation world want no one but him?

It was unclear whether it was the little devil in Yang Zhen’s heart that messed with the Shaking Light Saint or even the heavens themselves couldn’t stand him, but just as the Shaking Light Saint was about to succeed, the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower suddenly threw a tantrum.

With just one shake, a purple light shot towards the Shaking Light Saint causing him to stagger and nearly fall from mid-air.

A chorus of gasps spread through the crowd, everyone shocked and fearful that the Shaking Light Saint might fail at this critical moment.

Just then, a cold snort came through, “How presumptuous!”

The white-bearded elder coldly snorted, raised his hand, and a sweep of Taoist details spread out, enveloping the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower.

The Nine Realms Exquisite Tower immediately brightened with light and began to thrash about.

Yang Zhen burst into laughter and said, “See that? This is the very definition of ‘a begrudging melon is never sweet’!”

“Wha… What do you mean?” Bai Xinsi’s face was a picture of confusion, just like the others who had no idea what had just happened.

Han Yan’er’s eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, “So, the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower doesn’t accept the Shaking Light Saint, does it?”

Yang Zhen nodded and said, “Oh boy, this is going to get interesting!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunder surged in the sky, not as a punishment, but as a terrifying heavenly phenomenon drawn together by the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower.

The dreadful thunder overturned the earth, dispersing the Taoist details that enshrouded the white-bearded elder and rushed straight towards the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower.

The Nine Realms Exquisite Tower let out an earth-shattering roar, suddenly swelling like a fierce beast of heaven and earth, charging violently and knocking the Shaking Light Saint flying. Even the white-bearded elder grunted and staggered.

Gasps filled the surroundings; everyone watched the terrifying scene before them in astonishment and confusion.

Could the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower be so terrifying?

Such rebellion was of a degree that it wouldn’t harm a great saint. Just as the white-bearded elder was about to take action again, a gentle voice came through.

“How about letting me try?”

Hearing this voice, Yang Zhen abruptly stood up.

“Sister!” Han Yan’er exclaimed with delight, grabbing Yang Zhen’s hand, her face full of surprise as she looked up into the sky.

The young miss had appeared!
