Seeing Fu Yao actually heading toward the hall entrance, Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao's expressions suddenly changed. The two of them stepped forward in unison, wanting to follow Fu Yao, but they simultaneously stopped, their movements perfectly synchronized, their faces the very image of each other.

“Senior Brother Du, after you,” Ma Hui Cao gestured invitingly, wearing a playful look as he watched Du Kang.

The smile on Du Kang's face grew more insincere as he returned the gesture, saying cheerfully, “The able should go first, please, Senior Brother Ma.”

Ma Hui Cao shook his head with a sly chuckle and said, “There's no need for us to keep up appearances here. With the Holy Lord and the Nine Dragons Saint inside the grand hall, do you think we have the audacity to barge in?”

Laughing, Du Kang replied, “That's exactly the point. We are not Junior Sister Fu Yao, she can enter, but we simply cannot!”

“Shall we wait then?”

“What good will waiting do? Since the Nine Dragons Saint has brought that lad here, could he possibly leave anytime soon?”

“There will be plenty of opportunities for us to deal with that youngster in the future!”

“They say, the higher you climb, the harder you fall…”

“Climbing higher?”

The eyes of Du Kang and Ma Hui Cao both lit up, and after exchanging a glance, they burst into a snickering laugh.

Following Nine Dragons into the grand hall, Yang Zhen's expression grew increasingly odd.

Inside the sacred hall, fragrances abounded. Yang Zhen could vaguely identify several scents commonly used by female practitioners, known to calm the mind and even beneficial for preserving one's appearance.

But…

An old geezer using such fragrance?

Yang Zhen's gaze at Nine Dragons became more and more peculiar.

Nine Dragons, however, failed to notice the look on Yang Zhen's face and said with a smile, “The scent of the Ancient Orchid Fern Fragrance has become even purer. Your Heaven Mountain Holy Lord has made considerable progress in the research on the Path of Longevity.”

Elder Yan, chuckling, replied, “After all, the Path of Longevity is but a legend. The Holy Lord and I have discussed it many times, only to be reprimanded and left it at that.”

Nine Dragons laughed heartily, shaking his head and saying, “For you, old man, to even broach such a topic!”

Elder Yan wore a continual wry smile, clearly having been scolded about it more than once.

Yang Zhen listened, feeling the chills, his mind conjuring images of an old geezer toiling away with flowers and herbs, not daring to ponder further.

The Path of Longevity has always been a pursuit for all practitioners in the world of immortals, though the vast majority understand it's sheer impossibility.

The cycle of heaven dictates that even those who've lived for tens of thousands of years, the old immortals, with their vitality spent, can only sustain life through some heaven-defying methods.

Yang Zhen, for his part, wasn't particularly interested in longevity. Indeed, living for hundreds of millions of years would be quite dull.

To live life once, freely and without regret by the end, that's what matters.

An old geezer meddling with flora, Yang Zhen felt… it was a scenario too bizarre to contemplate.

Yet there were Nine Dragons and Elder Yan, acting as if it were a matter of course, prompting Yang Zhen to feel a tinge of sympathy for them.

How long must one be immersed in such poison to grow accustomed to it?

Seeing that none of the surrounding crowd showed any sign of surprise, Yang Zhen's sympathy for the denizens of Heaven Mountain Holy Land deepened.

When the time comes to conquer the Sword Spirit, just shout “666” louder and with more heart.

“I can only help you up to this point,” the Sao Saint said.

Yang Zhen looked at Elder Yan and the others with compassion.

At that moment, everyone stopped inside the grand hall. Elder Yan, smiling cheerfully, turned around and said, “Unfortunately, the timing is not right. The Heaven Mountain Holy Lord is purifying the Longyan Flower, so I must ask the Nine Dragons Saint to wait for a short while.”

The Nine Dragons waved his hand and replied, “There's no rush. We shouldn't disturb the Heaven Mountain Holy Lord while he is purifying the Longyan Flower.”

A bitter smile appeared on Elder Yan's face; he then turned to order his disciples to prepare tea. Afterward, he addressed Yang Zhen, who wore an odd expression, “Young friend Yang, there's no need to be restrained. Although the Heaven Mountain Holy Land is very strict about its code of conduct, you are a young man held in high esteem by the Nine Dragons Saint. You should feel free to consider the Holy Land as if it were your own sect.”

Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the Nine Dragons, and upon seeing no particular reaction from him, said with a smile, “If that's the case, then I won't be formal!”

Stretching his arms in a yawn, he continued, “It's good to be strict, and I guess that's probably the fundamental reason why the Heaven Mountain Holy Land has been able to endure for tens of thousands of years. However, I'm used to being free-spirited, so it's a bit hard for me to adjust all of a sudden!”

The others chuckled, while some disciples looked at Yang Zhen with odd expressions, their faces filled with astonishment.

Indeed, how bold for a man brought by the Nine Dragons Saint to speak to Elder Yan like this.

In reality, how could the others know that at this moment, Yang Zhen was genuinely feeling uncomfortable? With so many seats unanswered, and seeing the disciples standing respectfully to the side, it indeed felt a bit difficult to bear.

The Nine Dragons wasn't concerned, casually strolling around the grand hall, chuckling as he said, “The wards of the Heaven Mountain Holy Land indeed contain many surprising aspects.”

Speaker of wards, a proud look appeared on the faces of Elder Yan and the others. It was something that could not be hidden, nor did they attempt to hide it.

That was the unique aspect of the Heaven Mountain Holy Land, unmatched by any other in the Central Court, a source of pride indeed.

Yang Zhen nodded and remarked, “Yes, the Heaven Mountain Holy Land must have had a mighty figure with incredible powers in the past to perfect these wards so naturally. It's just that…”

Hearing the beginning of Yang Zhen's sentence, Elder Yan and the others smiled even wider, nodding in agreement. Upon hearing the “but,” however, everyone was stunned.

With a curious expression, Elder Yan asked, “But what?”

Seeing the look on Elder Yan's face, some of the elders and disciples showed a schadenfreude expression, looking down on Yang Zhen with some contempt.

Everyone in the Heaven Mountain Holy Land knew that Elder Yan surpassed everyone in the Central Court in the mastery of the Ksitigarbha Skill.

After all, Elder Yan had never met any match in the Ksitigarbha Skill for many years.

Yang Zhen was just a junior. Had it not been for the Nine Dragons Saint personally bringing him, he wouldn't even have the qualification to enter the grand hall. Now, daring to say “but” in front of Elder Yan was truly… brazen to the extreme!

Many glanced covertly at the Nine Dragons and, noticing that he showed no particular reaction and seemed curious about Yang Zhen, felt somewhat puzzled.

Of course, they were just briefly curious.

Noticing the expression on the Nine Dragons' face, Elder Yan was taken aback for a moment before bursting into hearty laughter, patting Yang Zhen's shoulder, “It appears that young friend Yang also has a deep understanding of wards. Now is a good opportunity. Why don't you share your thoughts so that this old man can hear your insights?”

All anticipation grew. Elder Yan, always busy with various affairs, had not offered guidance on the Ksitigarbha Skill to the disciples inside the sect for a long time. Hearing Elder Yan's words, everyone became eager.

Just then, a young woman with a covered face and wearing a veil walked through the entrance of the hall and laughed lightly, “It seems I've arrived just in time. Opportunities to receive guidance from Elder Yan are rare indeed.”

Hearing Fu Yao's words, Elder Yan laughed heartily and gestured for her to come over, “Fu Yao has arrived. In the entire Heaven Mountain Holy Land, your talent in the Ksitigarbha Skill is the one that satisfies me the most. It's just a shame that you're not my direct disciple.”

Fu Yao looked at Yang Zhen with interest, bowed slightly, and said, “This must be the legendary young master. I hope you don't take offense at my boldness for overhearing your conversation. I'm quite interested in your views as well. Could you perhaps offer some guidance?”

The gazes everyone directed at Yang Zhen were filled with schadenfreude.

Offer guidance to Fu Yao?

Senior Sister Fu Yao is really being modest!
