Chapter 981: Chapter 1008: Changes in Heaven and Earth! It Begins! (Part 2) Chapter 981: Chapter 1008: Changes in Heaven and Earth! It Begins! (Part 2) Seeing the expression on Hua Youyue’s face, Yang Zhen’s demeanor shifted as he stared at her and asked, “Have you remembered something?”

Hua Youyue nodded and said, “I have seen the Reincarnation Clock.”

“What?” Yang Zhen was startled and then a light kindled in his heart. Hua Youyue said she had seen the Reincarnation Clock, which must be the memory of the Tri-Floral Saintess. It was likely true that the Tri-Floral Saintess had seen the Reincarnation Clock.

So far, the Tri-Floral Saintess was the first person Yang Zhen knew of who had successfully reincarnated, although it seemed to have ultimately failed. However, he couldn’t dismiss the possibility that the reincarnation of the Tri-Floral Saintess was related to the Reincarnation Clock.

If the Tri-Floral Saintess was indeed related to the Reincarnation Clock, would the young lady be affected?

Thinking this, Yang Zhen’s thoughts gradually deepened. Just by looking at the young lady’s facial expression, he knew for sure she would be influenced.

Could the appearance of the Reincarnation Clock spell bad news for the young lady?

Yang Zhen looked at Hua Youyue with some concern and asked, “Young lady, apart from being restless in spirit, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?”

Hua Youyue pondered for a moment and shook her head, “No, just a feeling like something is about to happen.”

Yang Zhen walked up to Hua Youyue, took her hand, and said, “Have I ever told you that I am actually quite formidable?”

Hua Youyue was stunned for a moment, then the serious expression disappeared from her face, replaced with a radiant smile, and she nodded, “You have, and I believe you!”

With skin like jade and a visage like the moon, when Hua Youyue smiled, it seemed as if the colors around her brightened a few shades.

Yang Zhen laughed heartily, looking at the vast sky, and said, “Don’t worry, no matter what changes occur in the world, I will not let any of you get hurt!”

Hua Youyue laughed softly and nodded, while Han Yan’er glared at Yang Zhen. The scornful cat, with its head raised, asked, “Boy, among these ‘you’ you speak of, does it include me?”

“Scram!” Yang Zhen gave the scornful cat a dismissive glance, and both Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er burst into laughter together, causing even the scornful cat’s heart to melt.

At this moment, Lu Chenghui, accompanied by Liu Ruoning and others, approached Yang Zhen and others, saying with a smile, “Yang Zhen, you’ve finally come out.”

Here, Lu Chenghui cautiously glanced in the direction of the Emperor Stele and asked in a low voice, “How did it go, talking with the Nine Dragons elder? If he has any requests, we must try our best to accommodate them.”

Yang Zhen pondered for a moment and said, “Don’t worry, the Nine Dragons Great Saint has no requests, it’s just that…”

“Just what?” Lu Chenghui’s face changed, clearly anxious.

Yang Zhen laughed it off and said, “It’s nothing too serious, only that with the emergence of a Saint Realm powerhouse, the world will surely undergo great changes. In some time, a Heaven and Earth Treasure is likely to appear, and when it does, chaos will ensue and lives will be thrown into disorder.”

Upon hearing this, the collective members of the Shangyuan Sect gasped in unison.

Liu Ruoning looked at Yang Zhen with a complex gaze. After everyone had a moment to process the information, she finally spoke, “Yang Zhen, no matter what the Heaven and Earth Treasure is, given the current state of the Shangyuan Sect, we definitely cannot become entangled in it. What should we do? You tell me; I’ll listen to you.”

Yang Zhen looked at Liu Ruoning. The Senior Sister, who used to be so flustered when things happened, had now become the Sect Leader of the Shangyuan Sect. She had the presence of somebody distinguished, and although she was faced with such a fearsome unknown, her face showed no sign of worry. He just did not understand why her gaze towards him was so complex and strange.

Regarding the Reincarnation Clock, Yang Zhen briefly introduced the matter to everyone. When they heard the rumor that obtaining the Reincarnation Clock would grant eternal life, they were all stunned, their eyes involuntarily flashing with longing.

But longing was useless. Currently, not to mention that Half-step Great Saints were everywhere, even one Saint Realm powerhouse had emerged. With the cultivation of the people from the Shangyuan Sect, if they were to get involved in this matter, they probably would not even qualify as cannon fodder.

The group sighed, and the Great Elder Gou Shengtian shook his head with a look of regret, “Later, I will give the order that for some time to come, no matter what happens outside, the disciples of the Shangyuan Sect should not leave hastily.”

Yang Zhen nodded his head, and seeing the hesitation on Liu Ruoning’s face, he smiled and asked, “Senior Sister, is there something else you want to say?”

Liu Ruoning’s face showed a trace of hesitation. She glanced at Lu Chenghui and others, whose faces all bore bittersweet smiles. As they exchanged looks, it was Lu Chenghui who stepped forward to speak, “Yang Zhen, I am grateful that you have addressed me as the former sect leader. Although the Shangyuan Sect did not provide you with many resources for cultivation, it is, after all, your home in this world, and we are your family. Now that the world is undergoing great changes, you are also aware of the situation in our sect. The cultivation methods within the sect… have truly fallen behind.”

Yang Zhen burst into laughter, saying, “I thought it was some formidable issue, but it turns out to be a minor matter like this. I’ll pass on a few cultivation methods to the former sect leader right now. As for the disciples’ cultivation in the future, you can just arrange it.”

“Stop!” Lu Chenghui’s face showed a trace of astonishment, and he quickly took two steps back, laughing and saying, “You scamp, I’ve only just retired and haven’t yet enjoyed some peaceful days, and now you want to push me into the spotlight again. I won’t agree to it. Just give all the methods to Ruoning. She’s now the sect leader of Shangyuan Sect.”

Yang Zhen was taken aback but quickly understood. It wasn’t that Lu Chenghui didn’t want these methods, nor did he want to enjoy peaceful days. With his cultivation level at the Divine Transformation Stage, he was unlikely to have peaceful days given the changes in the world.

The reason Lu Chenghui acted this way was merely to support Liu Ruoning.

Surely enough, a grateful expression flashed across Liu Ruoning’s face, and although the other elders showed eager expressions, in the end, they all focused on Liu Ruoning.

Yang Zhen didn’t care who received the methods; after all, they were one family. But this arrangement was good too. After all, Lu Chenghui was right–Liu Ruoning was now the sect leader of the Shangyuan Sect. If she were to recruit genius disciples from the Nether State continent, it would be hard for her to command respect without some foundation.

With this in mind, Yang Zhen turned to Liu Ruoning and asked with a smile, “Senior Sister, what do you say?”

Liu Ruoning showed a serene and gentle smile, looking at Yang Zhen as she said, “I’ll listen to Junior Brother.”

Yang Zhen laughed heartily and pointed his finger at Liu Ruoning’s forehead, saying, “The content is somewhat elaborate. Make sure to remember it well. There’s no rush to pass it on. First understand a few of the cultivation methods and martial skills.”

Understand… a few cultivation methods and martial skills first.

Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, excitement arose among all those present, especially the older seniors like Lu Chenghui and Gou Shengtian, who all started breathing heavily with emotion.

That Yang Zhen had good things in his possession was clear to everyone. But these things were ultimately his, and although the others were his elders, it was awkward for them to ask for them.

Now not only did Yang Zhen offer voluntarily, but it also seemed he was going to give quite a bit. In an instant, whether it be the sect elders or other core disciples, the look they gave Yang Zhen was one full of intense gratitude.

At that moment, Yang Zhen suddenly paused, his eyes opening wide in astonishment as he looked around at everyone.

From the bodies of these Shangyuan Sect elders and disciples, a familiar aura began to emanate.

The worthless cat widened its eyes, mumbling to itself, “Damn, can this even work? Just some cultivation methods and martial skills, and yet such a dense power of faith can be garnered. This kid Yang Zhen truly has profound fortune–giving gifts and earning a fortune at the same time.”

Yang Zhen gave the worthless cat a glance, feeling even closer to these Shangyuan Sect elders and disciples.

Indeed, as Lu Chenghui said, the Shangyuan Sect was his home, and the people of Shangyuan Sect, they were all his kin.

Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er approached Yang Zhen’s side, and almost simultaneously, they both focused their gazes on his profile.

Yang Zhen grinned and looked from side to side, asking, “What do you think, handsome or not?”

Han Yan’er chuckled and nodded her head shyly, looking down. Hua Youyue gave Yang Zhen a glance with slight embarrassment, her cheeks blushing as she turned to the horizon. Suddenly, her expression changed, and she pointed into the distance, exclaiming, “Look, what’s that?”

In the far-off place where heaven and earth intersected, a streak of purple and red light curtain fluttered like drifting silk in midair, undulating and fluctuating incessantly.

The changes in heaven and earth had begun!
