Chapter 1496: Chapter 1523 The Worthless Cat is Quite Something Chapter 1496: Chapter 1523 The Worthless Cat is Quite Something Why do practitioners in the Great Desolation world cultivate?

This question, if asked to a hundred people, might receive a hundred different answers, but ultimately, the issue invariably comes back to a single point.

It’s simple; if you do not cultivate, many others will, and those who do might become much stronger. No one wants to step outside and find themselves surrounded by emperors while they remain merely at the Foundation Establishment phase.

In essence, the Great Desolation is a place where only the mightiest can have their say.

Yang Zhen is different; his cultivation isn’t about bullying others. After all, even if his cultivation isn’t strong, bullying others isn’t particularly hard for him, no matter what era, as intelligence is always a valuable asset.

It must be said, people from the internet-possessing Blue Planet, while not necessarily having highly developed brains, think quickly.

If it weren’t for this, Yang Zhen would have long thrown himself into cultivation wholeheartedly. With his speed of cultivation, probably no one in this world could match him.

But what use is rapid cultivation?

Above, gods and demons plan their schemes, and even higher, the universe itself has its machinations.

Plotting endlessly, they throw the entire Great Desolation into disarray. Those who cultivate quickly but have unstable foundations might be struck down by thunder and killed; transcending tribulations, countless geniuses not killed by foes meet their end through divine punishment and celestial tribulations.

Yang Zhen is not just a genius; he is an extraordinary genius. Thus, he doesn’t rush his cultivation. Instead, he advances steadily, so even the universe cannot do much against him. Many divine punishments have failed to kill him, and he has even grasped the power of the universe’s origin–a concrete testament to his approach.

This proof cannot be replicated, for there is only one Yang Zhen.

Hearing Yang Zhen’s words, the Golden Eagle Emperor and others fell into deep thought. After a long while, they broke into smiles and said, “Such words can only come from you. For many years, people have been seeking stronger powers, striving for breakthroughs, but you are already eyeing the power of gods and demons.”

At this point, the Golden Eagle Emperor showed a strange expression and said, “Young man, I am very curious, how exactly did you comprehend the Void Power?”

Void Power?

Hearing of such a force, Emperor Aotian and Eastern Desolation Emperor both turned their heads, staring intently at Yang Zhen.

However, all three knew well that such matters, which can be understood but not conveyed, would remain elusive even if Yang Zhen explained.

Yet, exceptions exist. What if Yang Zhen’s explanation could spur an epiphany in them?

Watching the three with keen interest, Yang Zhen pondered for a moment and said, “It might be because…”
The three became visibly tenser, holding their breath and staring fixedly at Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen paused briefly, then continued, “Perhaps because I’m relatively intelligent.”

The Golden Eagle Emperor and the others exchanged looks, feeling an urge to punch Yang Zhen in the face.

What do you mean ‘relatively intelligent’?

The world is full of smart people; why are you the only one who has comprehended the Void Power?

Golden Eagle Emperor snorted, “If you don’t want to share, so be it. But to make such provoking statements, do you think we three can’t defeat you?”

Yang Zhen rolled his eyes and said, “The Void Power is something you have all touched upon. If you’re smart enough, then go and comprehend it yourself.”

Eastern Desolation Emperor couldn’t help but roll his eyes as well. As emperors, they had delved into the void numerous times, but if it were as simple as Yang Zhen described, wouldn’t they have comprehended it by now?

Emperor Aotian pondered for a moment before asking the question that most concerned them, “Do we three have any hope?”

This time, Yang Zhen mused for a long while before responding to Emperor Aotian, “I will plant a seed of the Void Power in you. Whether or not you can comprehend it will be up to you.”

“Speaking of which, Yang Zhen casually waved his hand, and three seeds of Void Power entered the Divine Consciousness Space of the Golden Eagle Emperor and the others.

The three of them trembled all over, their faces showing horrified expressions, as they quickly guarded their minds and began to comprehend.

What a joke, this is Void Power. Even just a seed could be lethal.

It’s only because the three of them trusted Yang Zhen quite a bit. If someone else were to plant three seeds of Void Power into their Divine Consciousness Space, even if they were emperors, they could be instantly killed.

After doing all this, Yang Zhen could finally settle down.

At this moment, Han Yan’er suddenly came up and said, “I want it too!”

Yang Zhen was stunned, looking at Han Yan’er’s serious expression, and blinked, saying, “How could I possibly leave you out? But your input method will be different from theirs.”

“Why?” Han Yan’er was startled, clearly not understanding what Yang Zhen meant.

Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, “This… putting it rashly like this, being able to comprehend is only a fluke. You’re different. If you want a seed of Void Power, wait for the chance, and I’ll personally pass it to you, ensuring a comfortable planting.”

“Oh!”

Han Yan’er stared blankly at Yang Zhen, half-understanding as she closed her eyes.

Yang Zhen, having nothing else to do, woke up the sly cat and asked, “What’s your current state? Can’t you remember your past?”

The sly cat, bleary-eyed, pushed Yang Zhen’s hand away and muttered, “Why bother thinking so much, kid? In this world, it’s rare to be confused. You wouldn’t understand.”

Damn!

Yang Zhen’s eyes suddenly widened.

This bastard was playing dumb! Whoever dares to say this old slicker’s brain isn’t working when he can spin ‘rarely confused’ so elegantly?

Yang Zhen looked at the sly cat with a puzzled face, muttering to himself, “Motherfucker, maybe that’s why you’ve lived so long.”

Hearing this, the sly cat got excited and said, “Kid, I love hearing that. This world is essentially… a presence, damn, I can’t say it, but anyways, the one who lives long is the one with real skill. What’s the use of having strong power if it only brings disasters and calamities and you end up dying without knowing how?”

Yang Zhen pondered, looking at the sly cat and deliberating, “You… could it be that you’ve survived from the Barbaric Era till now?”

There were no mentions of kylins existing after the Barbaric Era, and this sly cat always claimed to be a kylin but never showed any other posture, just got fatter maybe.

Just a cat couldn’t possibly survive from the Barbaric Era to now, so what this sly cat was saying, Yang Zhen started to believe it a bit.

But the sly cat glared and said, “Barbaric Era, kid, who are you looking down on? I’ve even seen gods and demons, you tell me from when I have lived… Damn, I’ve even seen gods and demons?”

Yang Zhen glared back at the sly cat and said annoyed, “Have you seen gods and demons or not, who are you asking?”

“Motherfucker, this is big. What the hell am I, having even seen gods and demons?”

Seeing the sly cat in a life-crisis mode, Yang Zhen’s curiosity grew even stronger.

What the hell is this bastard’s backstory?

Just as they were staring each other down, the noisy chicken suddenly crowed loudly and stopped.

In mid-air, a woman in white, with a red veil, stood in front of the noisy chicken. Behind her, three ancient, strange long swords emitted a spooky glow, and the space around her was sealed.

Seeing this scene, Yang Zhen and the sly cat looked at each other and said in unison, “Witch Scale Clan?”
