Chapter 979: Chapter 1006: Incomplete Spirit Soul? The Same Kind of Person? (Second Update) Chapter 979: Chapter 1006: Incomplete Spirit Soul? The Same Kind of Person? (Second Update) “`
Hearing the wretched cat’s words, Yang Zhen almost slapped it back, really starting to appreciate this bastard’s thought process.

But then again, do Saint Realm powerhouses really suffer from insomnia?

If they encounter worries, I guess they might have insomnia too.

Yang Zhen pondered seriously for a moment, then nodded and said, “Maybe we need to tell some bedtime stories.”

The wretched cat was startled, then stiffly said, “I told you, not being able to sleep definitely means insomnia.”

Next to the Emperor Stele, Nine Dragons Great Saint opened his mouth but no words came out. A playful smile spread across his face as he murmured to himself, “Interesting little fellow.”

The people from the Great Nether Dynasty had left, but the matter wasn’t over yet. Damn it, they almost destroyed the Shangyuan Sect and made me, the Sao Saint, pull out all the stops, prancing around like a monkey for so long, and even nearly drove the young lady to desperation. Is it just going to end like this?

Absolutely not, Boss Yang has never counted the time when seeking revenge. If there’s time, he takes action; if not, he waits to take action later.

Obviously, now is not the time, as a Saint Realm powerhouse has arrived at home and must be attended to carefully, for only then can some news be obtained from the powerhouse’s mouth. With a bit of luck, there might even be some benefits to gain.

That’s an ancient inheritance from a Saint Realm powerhouse we’re talking about. Getting even a little something from it would be enough to make everyone on the Nether State continent green with envy.

Yang Zhen could imagine that it wouldn’t be long before the news of Nine Dragons Great Saint, a Saint Realm powerhouse, staying with the Shangyuan Sect would spread throughout the entire cultivation world. Perhaps even those Sacred Lands still in slumber would get wind of it.

With this, the Shangyuan Sect would be thoroughly famous. Although it’s true that fame makes pigs fat and people afraid, how else to attract outstanding disciples in this great world without being famous?

With a Saint Realm powerhouse around, the Great Nether Dynasty wouldn’t dare to cause trouble for the time being. Shangyuan Sect had plenty of work to rise from the ashes, and the Sky Spring Queyang Array was in good hands with Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er, not to mention that damn Sao Chicken overseeing it, so nothing should go wrong. As for the cultivation of sect disciples like Lu Chenghui and Liu Ruoning among others, we’ll just take it slowly.

With creatures like the Heaven Devouring Beast and the Dragon Elephant around, common riffraff wouldn’t dare to cause trouble.

After Yang Zhen left the Shangyuan Sect, the young lady went into seclusion at Emperor Stele. Having come out now, she indeed broke through to the first Heaven Realm of Celestial Phase, which amazed Yang Zhen and made him admire the fact that a Saint Realm powerhouse truly is a Saint Realm powerhouse. Even reborn, their cultivation speed isn’t something a commoner like him could compare with. Even though he’s handsome enough, looks can’t speed up cultivation next to turned-back Hua Youyue, because handsomeness doesn’t increase the rate of cultivation.

That damn Sao Chicken seemed to have entered seclusion too. When the entire Shangyuan Sect was in dire straits, Sao Chicken was nowhere to be seen. Clearly, it was at a critical point, but that’s not acceptable either. Once that bastard comes out, it must be taught a lesson.

Yang Zhen and the wretched cat sneaked up to the Emperor Stele and were immediately taken aback.

The Emperor Stele, which used to be covered in countless patterns, now looked utterly smooth, revealing nothing special, just like a white marble pillar standing on the ground.

If Yang Zhen hadn’t brought this thing back himself, he would have thought someone had swapped it out.

Fortunately, the aura on it was still there, which relieved Yang Zhen.

After all, it belonged to a Saint Realm powerhouse. If he wanted the Emperor Stele, could Yang Zhen refuse to give it to him?

…

Damn it, definitely not giving it away, no matter how impressive the Saint Realm powerhouse may be.

This stone is the future foundation of the Shangyuan Sect, a treasure Yang Zhen treats like a family heirloom. How could he just casually give it away?

“This Emperor Treasure is a nice thing, where did you get it from?”

Nine Dragons’ voice sounded somewhat weak, and Yang Zhen immediately felt even more reassured, as he grinned and recounted the process of obtaining the Emperor Stele.

When Nine Dragons Great Saint heard that the Great Nether Dynasty actually used living people as nutrients, intending to mass-produce Half-step Great Saints, his face suddenly darkened.

“Has the Great Nether Dynasty really fallen so low as to become utterly devoid of conscience?”

“`
“`
Yang Zhen glared indignantly and said with righteous anger, “Isn’t that the truth? My fellow, you are unaware, when the Great Nether Dynasty emerged, they tore the heavens and the earth apart. Our own Shangyuan Sect’s White Cloud Mountain was split in half by them. These people have no regard for anyone; they say that all the practitioners from Nether State are ignorant bumpkins.”

Having said this, Yang Zhen glanced at Nine Dragons Great Saint’s expression, then continued, “I’m not one to stir up trouble, and if they just talked about me, I’d let it pass. But now, they’re even including you, esteemed one. It’s simply too arrogant.”

Nine Dragons could not help but let out a wry laugh, looked at Yang Zhen, and remarked, “You needn’t try to perturb my mind here. The grudges between you and the Great Nether Dynasty need to be resolved by yourself. Unless Guan Boyang, that old fellow, comes forward, given Shangyuan Sect’s current foundation, the Great Nether Dynasty may not dare to act rashly.”

When Yang Zhen’s ulterior motive was exposed, he didn’t show a hint of embarrassment but grinned and said, “Rest assured, my fellow, how could I possibly ask you to take action? You just focus on healing here, for as long as you need.”

Nine Dragons Great Saint was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, “You can tell that I’ve been injured?”

How novel!

Yang Zhen was taken aback and humbly replied, “Just a guess, a guess. Your aura seems a bit weak, and your spirit soul is not stable, your life essence is lacking Yin; it’s no wonder you require a supreme Yin treasure.”

Listening to Yang Zhen, Nine Dragons Great Saint showed a look of surprise for the second time, gave him a deep look, and nodded, “You’re not wrong In having the cultivation of the third Heaven Realm of the Celestial Phase and spotting the problem with me, your talent, I fear even in the Great Desolation Era, would be ranked among the very best.”

Not only in the Great Desolation Era, but even in the ancient times, Yang Zhen’s talent would be counted as one of the best.

Seeing Nine Dragons Great Saint hesitate to speak further, Yang Zhen chuckled inwardly, his face was the picture of innocence as he waited, even blinking his eyes.

Nine Dragons Great Saint closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, then said, “You have the power of the Void on you.”

Yang Zhen nodded in agreement. This was not something he could hide. He had detected it when Nine Dragons Great Saint had probed him earlier.

“And a trace of Chaos Qi.”

Yang Zhen nodded again.

“You seem to have almost mastered the three Heavenly Books you possess. I am a bit curious, why can’t you completely refine the seed of the Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus?”

At this point, Yang Zhen was already very astonished inside. Could it be that Nine Dragons Great Saint’s earlier remark about ‘how could this be’ was actually about the Annihilation Heavenly Sky Lotus?

Luckily, he did not realize that this Sao Saint is not a person from this world.

What Nine Dragons Great Saint said next completely bewildered Yang Zhen.

“Your spirit soul, it seems, is not whole.”

“What the heck?” Yang Zhen was baffled, staring at Nine Dragons Great Saint in confusion.

With all three souls and seven spirits intact, perfectly fused with this body, and without any conflicts, Yang Zhen had long since refined his body with the Dragon Elephant Prison Shaking Body to make it his own.

Rather than saying his current body was a vessel for his spirit soul, it would be more accurate to describe it as a spirit treasure. How could there be any issue with an incomplete spirit soul?

An opportunistic cat at the side glared, full of curiosity at Yang Zhen, also failing to see any incompleteness in Yang Zhen’s spirit soul.

Seeing the expressions of the cat and Yang Zhen, Nine Dragons Great Saint chuckled and closed his eyes, slowly saying, “I hadn’t expected–for you and I to be of the same kind. This could be considered a twist of fate, marvelous indeed, marvelous.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen’s heart skipped a beat, more shocked than when learning his spirit soul wasn’t whole.

What does ‘the same kind of person’ mean?

Could it be that Nine Dragons Great Saint also transmigrated here, truly a fellow countryman?
