No wonder those who defy the heavens all stick together so closely, for such cultivation methods are like a log bridge–once you start cultivating, there's no turning back.
Yang Zhen couldn't help but marvel, looking at the man in black with a touch of pity for these fellows who hid from the order of heaven and earth every day. A single misstep could lead to a deafening thunderbolt, striking them dead on the spot.
Even if they weren't struck dead, the mad plundering of the heaven and earth's energy meant that they might just explode while walking along; an explosion of the heaven and earth's power, not of the energy within their own bodies.
It was as if the human body was used as a container for storing energy, and then suddenly, boom–the contents inside burst.
Practitioners who followed the will of heaven wouldn't encounter such a problem. They could incorporate the power into their bodies, and their bodies' dantian or Divine Consciousness Space could greatly resonate with this nearly transformed power.
Those who defied the heavens were, in a sense, similar to the path of body forging, except the path of body forging used the power of heaven and earth to temper the body, whereas those who defied the heavens did so in a much more frantic manner.
Yang Zhen, with a sparkling look in his eyes and a smile on his face, said, “If I were to cultivate your method, wouldn't that make us family?”
The man in black's face flashed a hint of astonishment, then he said joyfully, “Indeed, those who defy the heavens are rare, and the journey is fraught with hardship. Only by helping each other can we travel farther. So it has been since ancient times.”
Yang Zhen nodded and said, “Although this cultivation method seems peculiar, it isn't without room for maneuver. When I have some time, I might indeed give it a try.”
The man in black's face revealed a strange expression. After hesitating for a moment, he said through gritted teeth, “Young hero, please think it over carefully. This is a path from which there is no return.”
Yang Zhen nodded and said nonchalantly, “Of course, I'm aware of that.”
With Yang Zhen's talent, how could he not see through such tricks?
Moreover, it seemed that the man in black had not fully understood Yang Zhen's words. When Yang Zhen said he could maneuver, he meant that it was operable without any concerns. However, that was only within the limits of what was operable. As for whether it would work or not, that could only be known after trying it out.
What surprised Yang Zhen, though, was that the man in black was not as utterly ruthless as the legends suggested. At the very least, when trying to recruit 'followers,' he still warned Yang Zhen that this was a point of no return.
It was this single well-intended warning that saved his own life.
Yang Zhen patted the man in black on the shoulder and said, “Since we'll soon be family, what exactly are you doing here?”
The man in black's face showed a hint of confusion, and he shook his head and said, “I don't know what we are to do here, just that we were instructed to stop some people from advancing further. Though we can't kill everyone… nor is there a desire to kill everyone. We just obstruct as long as we can.”
Yang Zhen chuckled and said, “Even if you don't tell me, I can guess a bit. You're after the Cause and Effect Dao Origin, aren't you?”
Upon hearing this, the man in black's face underwent a drastic change, his eyes filled with killing intent as he stared at Yang Zhen.
Then, as if remembering that he had ingested Yang Zhen's Smiling Half-step Insane, he began to smile bitterly and nodded, “Telling you won't hurt, we've been preparing for this moment for ten thousand years. It's not something that you alone can disrupt.”
Yang Zhen nodded, appearing as if he could not pry any more information from him. He stood up, ready to leave.
“Young… young hero…”
The man in black became anxious and hurriedly followed Yang Zhen, fully aware he couldn't keep up with Yang Zhen's pace, but without any intention of giving up.
Yang Zhen paused, asking, “Is there something else?”
The man in black hesitated, his face a mix of reluctance and subdued anger. After a brief pause, he said, “The… Smiling Half-step Insane…”
Yang Zhen burst out laughing, blinked, and said, “I'll tell you the formula for Smiling Half-step Insane. How to cure it, you'll have to figure out yourself.”
On hearing this, the man in black was overjoyed.
In this world, no poison was completely incurable. Since it could be concocted, there certainly had to be a way to cure it. And ever since he had swallowed the Smiling Half-step Insane, aside from a bit of stomach discomfort, there seemed to be no other pain, which was why the man in black was not in a hurry for the antidote.
Getting the formula was an incredible stroke of luck, much better than Yang Zhen simply giving him an antidote.
Yang Zhen engraved the 'formula' into a jade slip and tossed it to the man in black, his face showing a hint of curiosity as he asked, “What is your name?”
“`
“I… I am Zhong Er!”
Yang Zhen was directly amused by the name, which was really… quite fitting!
As Zhong Er caught the jade slip, Yang Zhen's speed fully erupted, and in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared without a trace.
Seeing the terrifying speed that Yang Zhen unleashed, Zhong Er was completely dumbfounded.
So the feelings he had while chasing Yang Zhen… were the guy just moving at a snail's pace waiting for him?
This guy must be a master, with definitely no small reputation.
But what of it? Even if they have a grand background, once they cultivate the cultivation methods that defy the heavens, it's an act of betraying their sect. Even if they don't betray their sect, the sect couldn't tolerate them anymore.
Who knows when the terrifying divine retribution would arrive, which sect could bear such assistance?
Ah, he's a pitiful person too!
Yang Zhen and the man in black, you pity me and I pity you, thus separated.
However, Yang Zhen was quite happy, this time he had met the defiant figure he had long wanted to meet, and even obtained their cultivation methods.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen suddenly paused.
The cultivation methods he obtained were quite low-level, with only two or three Saint-level cultivation methods, which seemed a bit mismatched with the supreme cultivation methods that Yang Zhen was now practicing routinely. Since these defiant people didn't deem cultivation methods and martial skills particularly important, then… were there more advanced ones ahead?
Considering that man in black seemed to be of the cannon fodder level, being able to produce such cultivation methods was already decent.
While musing over this, Yang Zhen returned to the entrance of the Domain of Extreme Peril, sighing somewhat.
The world is heartless, treating all beings as straw dogs.
After all, under the will of heaven and earth, who can escape birth, aging, sickness, and death?
Sudden death was also included in this category.
At the entrance to the Sacrificial Extinction Road, a group of people lay in pools of blood, while many others wailed incessantly, lying on the ground and writhing continuously.
Yang Zhen had no intention of lending a helping hand; there were too many people. After a bit of rest, with some mutual support, they would still manage to get up.
The leader of the Green Lotus Sect and the Sword Devil had disappeared, presumably chasing after the men in black.
Yang Zhen only stayed briefly before catching the scent left behind by the men in black and charging forward.
There must be more formidable characters ahead who defy the heavens; it wouldn't hurt to ask them about the Reverse Cultivation Techniques when the time comes.
The Land of Sacrificial Extinction was filled with poisonous miasma everywhere. Yang Zhen tested it out and found that with his current resistance to poison, he wouldn't be in immediate danger, so he simply didn't deal with anything and left the matter for later.
With this, Yang Zhen moved even faster, and soon he felt a familiar aura coming from ahead.
The Divine Consciousness Space here was greatly restricted, and Yang Zhen couldn't judge who was ahead, so he charged forward.
“Yah, don't come over here!”
A scream came through, fraught with endless terror and panic, yet the voice was unusually pleasant to the ear.
Without thinking, the only person who could emit such a pleasant sound at this moment, other than Shi Feifei, was no one else.
But this “Yah, don't come over here!” sounded so odd to Yang Zhen. Could it be that someone dared to harbor improper thoughts towards Shi Feifei here?
